Chapter 989: What A Close Shave
Pigeon heard his brother gritting his teeth and talking behind him. He smiled and replied, “Brother, you’re really lucky that ST and the government are at odds. That allowed you to stay alive for a few more days. However…”
Numerous figures flashed past them. Pigeon stopped talking and pushed his hand down to signal to K7 to hide.
The ST mercenaries who were running wore military boots. Under the dim light, Pigeon squinted and lifted the corners of his lips slightly. “These are government soldiers. It seems as if they are not going to give in to ST. Brother, even if you want to sacrifice this time, you won’t have the chance.”
“When did I ever say that I want to sacrifice?” K7 bore with the itchiness in his throat and nudged his Adam’s apple. He suppressed the desire to cough. “I need to stay alive. There are many things I want to do.”
He might be ready to sacrifice but that didn’t mean that he must sacrifice. The country didn’t groom you so that you could think about sacrificing all the time. Even if you were held captive, you should try your best to stay alive even if there was just a tinge of hope.
K7 never thought of giving up but he never thought of asking his comrades to come back again.
Thus, when he heard the familiar signal, his mind turned blank for three seconds… They had already come inside the ST base! Why did he send a fake message? That was because he knew he was inside the base of ST!
Yet, they still came!
“This is what I call daring! If you really died, our efforts will be wasted.” Pigeon made a hand sign to signal to K7 to watch the window. He would move to the door.
Someone was walking towards them and the person was holding a light.
Footsteps moved past the door. Pigeon, who was hiding behind the door, softly heaved a sigh of relief. What a close shave… The place they were hiding in wasn’t a good spot. There were a few corpses inside…
The window was the best spot for watching their environment. It was safe now so Pigeon went back to K7’s side. The moment he caught his breath, K7’s cold voice floated over. “How many brothers came?”
“Including Little Ye, there’s seven of us. J5 was a little unlucky. He hurt the lower part of his body and had to get14 stitches on the ligament of his thigh. He wanted to come no matter what so one of our brothers who stayed back to look after him knocked him unconscious.” Pigeon kept staring outside as he replied K7. In the dim room, his eyes were exuding a cold and faint glare. “Desert no one, never give up. Brother, we swore in front of the flag in the past. We just didn’t complete the last step of making a blood oath.”
K7 smiled. In the dark, he finally smiled. It wasn’t just a slight lift of the corners of his mouth, an indifferent smile. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. “Desert no one, never give up. Thank you, brother.”
No matter how hard the journey was, regardless of how dangerous the mountain roads were, they walked on the path, one footstep at a time, bringing with them the sharpness of the wind at the peak of the snow mountain. They weren’t afraid of dying in another country. They came because of the oath they made below the flag.
Thank you, my comrades for life! Thank you, my brothers for life!
Pigeon turned his head and smiled at K7. His voice dropped till a low, gentle, and sincere tone. “Why are you thanking us? This is called staying together until death do us part! If you really want to thank someone, you can thank Ye Jian after you go out. This young lady…” Pigeon paused. He was thinking of how to describe Ye Jian. After some time, he said, “This young lady isn’t simple.”
What kind of words should he use to describe her? Even the most bombastic words couldn’t describe her! He could say many things but they weren’t enough to express his admiration towards her. Only the simple two words were able to describe what he was thinking.
