Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 197 A hint of pain

This sudden exchange of fire made Su Ming realize that they had been discovered by the enemy. His ominous premonition was finally confirmed; the enemy's ambush had disrupted their rhythm.

"Hurry! Keep pushing forward, we can't let them delay time!" Su Ming roared in a low voice, and flames spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, knocking down an enemy.

Zheng Yaoxian also reacted quickly, leading another squad to attack from the flank, engaging the enemy in a fierce firefight. The whistling of bullets, the enemy's screams, and the sound of explosions mixed together, turning the entire corridor into a bloody battlefield.

Despite their disadvantage, Su Ming remained calm, directing his team members to act in an orderly manner. His eyes were fixed on the front, with only one thought in mind: no matter what, they must complete the mission and destroy the enemy's core intelligence network.

"Su Ming, we need time!" A team member shouted loudly from behind the cover, his face full of anxiety.

Su Ming understood their situation. The demolition team would need time to completely destroy the intelligence network, and the enemy was desperately trying to stop them. He made a quick decision: "Zheng Yaoxian, you lead the others to draw the enemy's firepower, and I'll lead the team to continue advancing!"

Zheng Yaoxian nodded without hesitation and led several team members to move quickly to attract the enemy's attention. Gunfire echoed like thunder through the corridor, and Su Ming led the remaining team members to seize the opportunity to break into the enemy's core area.

Finally, they broke into the intelligence room and defeated the enemy inside in one fell swoop. Su Ming looked at the equipment in front of him and knew that as long as they destroyed it, the enemy's intelligence system would be paralyzed.

"Quick, install the explosives!" Su Ming ordered hurriedly.

The team members moved quickly, installing the explosives in key locations. Time seemed to stretch infinitely, and every second seemed infinitely long.

However, just as they were about to complete their mission, more enemies swarmed in, their fierce firepower almost forcing them to fight back. Su Ming gritted his teeth and fought back with all his might, but he was already feeling powerless.

The bullet grazed his shoulder, the intense pain blurring his consciousness. He knew his ability was nearing its limit, but he couldn't give up. He had to persevere and buy enough time for his teammates.

"Retreat!" Su Ming ordered loudly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination.

The team quickly retreated, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and several team members fell on the spot, staining the ground red with blood. Su Ming's heart ached, but he knew that the current mission was more important.

Just as he was about to evacuate, Zheng Yaoxian suddenly rushed in and stood in front of Su Ming. His figure was like an unshakable fortress, firmly blocking the enemy's attack behind him.

"Go!" Zheng Yaoxian shouted loudly, his eyes burning with an unyielding fighting spirit.

Su Ming looked at Zheng Yaoxian's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that Zheng Yaoxian was buying time for him, using his own life in exchange for their victory.

"Brother Zheng!" Su Ming's voice was filled with pain, but he knew that now was not the time to be emotional. He had to complete the mission and not let Zheng Yaoxian's sacrifice go to waste.

The explosives were finally set, and the timer began counting down. Su Ming, with all his might, lifted the injured team member and quickly retreated. Zheng Yaoxian continued to desperately provide cover. The sound of their gunfire mingled with the enemy's exchange of fire, like a tragic elegy.

The explosion resounded like thunder, and the entire building began to shake. Su Ming felt only a powerful shockwave, and then he lost consciousness.

A hard-fought victory

When Su Ming opened his eyes again, he saw a chaotic ruin, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder. His body was in excruciating pain, but he knew they had won.

The enemy's core intelligence network has been destroyed, and the balance of war is beginning to tilt towards their side. However, this victory comes at a heavy price - many team members will never stand up again, and Zheng Yaoxian is nowhere to be found.

"Brother Zheng..." Su Ming called out softly, the pain in his heart surging like a tide. He knew that Zheng Yaoxian was likely dead, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to see that resolute figure again.

However, reality was cruel. Su Ming searched the ruins but could find no trace of Zheng Yaoxian. His comrades were silent, knowing that Zheng Yaoxian had sacrificed his life for this victory.

Night fell over the ruins of the city. A gentle breeze carried the heavy scent of fireworks, as if the air were thick with the bloody scent of war. Su Ming stood alone on the shattered ruins, staring silently into the distant darkness. His emotions were indescribably complex: relief at mission completion, grief at sacrifice, and unease about the uncertain future that lay ahead.

Zheng Yaoxian's image seemed to still loom before his eyes; the determination he displayed at that moment, the cries he heard, still echoed in his ears. But when he turned around, his teammates were gone. Countless companions who had fought side by side had now fallen, vanished. He stood alone on this desolate battlefield, his heart as empty as if it had been torn apart.

"Brother Zheng, where have you been?" he murmured in a low voice, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

There was no echo in the air, only a slight sound of wind, as if it was a call from afar, or a silent sigh.

However, he couldn't dwell on this moment of sadness. The enemies weren't gone, the battle wasn't over, and the hardest moment hadn't yet arrived. Su Ming knew this was far from over. He had to pull himself together and keep moving forward.

A few days later, a new order arrived, and Su Ming received a mission. The battle between the enemy and us had reached a fever pitch, and the final decisive battle was imminent. And this time, the target was unexpectedly his former closest comrade—Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's betrayal surprised and shocked Su Ming. They had been through life and death together, facing countless dangers together. Their trust in each other was unbreakable. They believed they were brothers, never to betray each other.

However, reality was cruel. Lin Hai had betrayed them, joined the enemy, and even become a high-ranking figure in their ranks. It all seemed like a nightmare, but Su Ming had to face this harsh reality. He knew that this battle was unavoidable.

"Why is it him..." Su Ming's voice was low, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes.

Lin Hai's name was prominently listed on the mission briefing, his crimes and betrayal clearly visible. Memories of the past pierced Su Ming's heart like a sharp dagger, leaving him breathless.

"Su Ming, this is an order." The commander's calm voice came from the communicator, "You must execute it. No matter who he was in the past, he is now an enemy."
