Devil's Army

Chapter 518 Xiao Kejun's Sacrifice

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, the tailor's shop assistant arrived at the inn where the Jackal and his friends were staying.

After the Jackal paid the bill, he quickly left the inn with everyone and the waiters.

Jackal and his companions walked in front, scouting the situation as they walked, while the male special forces member and Li Hongmei followed behind.

Suddenly, the Jackal called everyone to a halt; he vaguely heard the sound of troops marching ahead.

The jackal waved his hands hurriedly, and Li Hongmei led everyone to move quickly back into a small alley.

The Jackal and his companions followed soon after and disappeared into the night.

After a while, a small group of Japanese patrol soldiers passed by Jackal and his men.

The Japanese patrol walked away, and Jackal and his companions led everyone to continue on their journey.

The guy brought everyone to the fishing boat and exchanged secret signals with the boatman.

The fellow nodded to the Jackal, indicating that this was the ship.

The jackal nodded, jumped into the fishing boat and checked around. When he found no danger, he asked everyone to get on board quickly.

The boatman immediately started the boat and headed towards Hulu Port.

The sky was sparsely populated with stars and the moon was waning. There were occasional strong winds and waves on the sea, making it difficult for the fishing boats to move forward.

Peking is not near the sea, and neither Professor Xu nor his classmates had ever been on a ship. They were quite excited at first, but soon the excitement wore off.

The fishing boat had not been sailing for long when Professor Xu and his classmates began to feel seasick, dizzy, and vomited. The food they had eaten that night was soon consumed by the fish in the sea.

The waves were getting bigger and bigger, and one of Professor Xu's students couldn't help but lie down on the side of the boat and vomit.

At this time, a big wave came over, and the fishing boat shook violently. The student who was lying on the side of the boat and vomiting was accidentally swept into the sea by the wave.

Seeing this, the male special forces soldier who had been watching nearby immediately took off his coat, dived into the sea, and swam towards the student who was still struggling on the surface of the sea.

The male special forces member grabbed the student from behind and shouted to the fishing boat: "Throw a rope over here, throw a rope over here..."

The wind was strong on the sea, and the people in the fishing boat couldn't hear what the male special forces member was shouting. But Jackal quickly grabbed a bundle of ropes in the fishing boat's cabin and threw it at the male special forces member.

The male special forces soldier tied a rope around the student who fell into the water.

Everyone worked together and quickly pulled the student who fell into the water onto the fishing boat.

The Jackal quickly untied the rope tied around the waist of the student who fell into the water and threw the rope to the male special forces member.

The male special forces soldier quickly swam towards the rope. He had trained at the simple wharf on the Wudai River, so swimming this short distance was a piece of cake for him.

But he ignored the difference between the sea and the river. The situation on the sea is far more complicated and dangerous than that on the river.

When he reached out to grab the rope, a big wave hit him. The fishing boat was pushed to the top of the wave, and he was thrown into the trough. The distance between him and the fishing boat was instantly increased.

At this time, it began to rain, and the visibility on the sea surface was much lower. The waves also became denser, hitting the fishing boat one after another.

Jackal began to panic. He and Li Hongmei grabbed the side of the boat and shouted loudly to the sea: "Xiao Kejun, Xiao Kejun..."

But what the sea reported to them was the sound of the whistling wind, the dripping rain and the slapping of waves against the fishing boats.

Professor Xu and his classmates wanted to go out of the cabin to help find the special forces who fell into the water, but Jackal refused because he was afraid that these untrained students would fall into the sea again.

Xiao Kejun was hit by the waves and choked on the salty sea water. When he floated up again and wiped the rain from his eyes and face, he was surprised to find that the fishing boat had disappeared.

The Jackal did not let the boatman continue to drive the boat, but continued to circle around the place where Xiaokejun jumped into the sea.

But finding a place on the vast sea with no reference points is harder than climbing to the sky.

The fishing boat circled on the sea for an hour or so. The rain stopped and visibility improved, but Jackal and his men still did not see the special forces member who fell into the sea.

The Jackal accepted this fact helplessly and told the boatman to continue to Huludao, where they had been delayed for more than an hour.

During the rest of the trip, Jackal and the others were in a heavy mood, and Li Hongmei and Wei Ke even wiped away tears in private. However, they did not dare to show it too obviously, fearing that Professor Xu's student would feel too much pressure.

We have been through so many battles together and survived all the bullets and shells. This mission was about to be completed, but Xiao Kejun died under the tyranny of nature.

Around three o'clock in the morning, the fishing boat finally arrived safely at Hulugang Wharf.

Jackal and his team members helped Professor Xu and his students get off the fishing boat one after another.

Jackal led everyone to the special forces camp. Jackal asked the guards to help Professor Xu and his students arrange accommodation, and he told Li Hongmei and the others not to do drill tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, they will attend the welcome party held by Leng Feng.
