In the valley, there was a huge stockade.
It was brightly lit.
Dozens of drug dealers, fully armed, were patrolling the stockade.
Ji Wushuang's team sent the intelligence back to the headquarters.
Just as they were about to retreat along the original route, an accident happened.
A newly - added patrol team was coming from the other direction.
The one leading the team was a lean middle - aged man.
The team members immediately held their breaths and blended in with the darkness.
The patrol team slowly approached.
Suddenly, the man raised his hand, signaling the team to stop.
He didn't look at the place where Ji Wushuang's team was hiding, but listened attentively.
In the summer night jungle, there should have been a noisy chorus of insects.
But in the area where they were lurking, there was an abrupt and eerie silence.
The man squinted his eyes.
Instead of shouting, he made a gesture to the people behind him.
One of his subordinates behind him understood instantly.
He suddenly threw an empty wine bottle towards the bushes where Ji Wushuang's team was hiding.
The bottle hit the ground, but there was no sound of any imaginary wild beast fleeing in panic.
There was only dead silence.
"Open fire!"
The drug dealer roared suddenly, and at the same time, he raised his gun and directly opened fire at the silent darkness.
The shrill alarm sounded instantly.
The whole stockade exploded like a disturbed beehive.
Countless bullets poured towards the place where they were hiding.
"Retreat!"
The team leader ordered.
They had been discovered.
The mission had failed.
Now, the only thing to do was to get out alive.
They fought back while retreating towards the cliff.
A young team member, codenamed "Scorpion", was shot in the thigh.
He grunted and fell to the ground.
"Don't worry about me! Go quickly!"
Scorpion shouted at everyone.
The team leader hesitated.
In the battlefield, abandoning an injured comrade was a disgrace.
But with an injured man, none of them could get away.
"Cover me!"
Ji Wushuang's voice was terrifyingly calm.
She didn't retreat.
Instead, she rushed towards Scorpion.
Bullets whizzed past her helmet.
She grabbed Scorpion and slung him onto her back.
Then she turned around and ran.
Scorpion was a six - foot - tall strong man.
He weighed at least 160 pounds.
But Ji Wushuang carried him on her back and her speed didn't slow down much.
Her body burst out with astonishing strength.
They retreated to the cliff.
But their escape route had been cut off.
Dozens of fully - armed drug dealers were about to surround them.
It was a desperate situation.
A real, desperate situation.
"Ghost, you take Scorpion and leave first," the team leader said to Ji Wushuang.
His voice was extremely calm, and there was a determined light in his eyes.
"Wildcat and I will cover your retreat."
Ji Wushuang looked at him.
"I have a way," she said.
"What way?"
"Jump down," Ji Wushuang pointed to the bottom of the cliff.
Below was a pitch - black, bottomless river.
"Are you crazy? Jumping from such a height, you'll either die or be severely disabled!"
"At least it's better than being shot to death," Ji Wushuang said.
She untied several special ropes from her legs and tightly tied Scorpion and herself together.
"Follow my command," she looked at the team leader and Wildcat.
"When I count to three, we'll all open fire at the same time to draw their firepower."
"Then, you follow me and jump together."
The team leader and Wildcat glanced at each other.
They chose to believe her.
To believe this legendary female soldier.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
The three of them opened fire in different directions at the same time.
The drug dealers' firepower was immediately drawn.
This was the moment!
Ji Wushuang carried Scorpion on her back and rushed out of the cover first.
She ran to the cliff and without the slightest hesitation, she leaped off.
The team leader and Wildcat followed closely.
They were like three stones falling into the boundless darkness.
The wind howled in their ears.
The feeling of weightlessness was suffocating.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise.
The icy river instantly engulfed them.
When Ji Wushuang woke up, she was on a fishing boat.
An old fisherman had saved them.
Scorpion's leg was saved because of timely treatment.
The team leader and Wildcat had suffered some serious injuries, but none of them were life - threatening.
She herself only had some minor scratches.
All four of them had survived.
Although the mission had failed, the intelligence they had brought back was still valuable.
Three days later.
The general attack began.
That drug - trafficking group was completely wiped out.
Ji Wushuang and her team members were lying in the beds in the military hospital.
They saw the news on the TV.
No one cheered.
They just watched quietly.
On the day of their discharge, Colonel Gao Feng came to pick them up in person.
He took the four of them to a martyr memorial hall that was not open to the public.
In the memorial hall, there were black - and - white photo frames on display.
The people in the frames were all very young.
"These are all our comrades," Gao Feng's voice was very solemn.
"They all sacrificed themselves on the unknown battlefields."
"Their names will never appear in the newspapers."
"Their contributions will always remain a secret."
"But we and this country will always remember them."
Gao Feng turned around and looked at Ji Wushuang.
He took out a box.
Inside was a pure - gold medal without any markings.
"This is for you," he said.
"This medal cannot be worn."
"Its very existence is a top - secret."
Ji Wushuang took the medal.
She looked at Gao Feng, wanting to say something.
But in the end, she said nothing.
She just gave a standard military salute.
From then on, the title of "The Ghost, the King of Soldiers" spread like wildfire in the military.
She became a legend.
A living legend.
However, being a legend comes at a price.
The missions became more and more numerous and more and more dangerous.
Ji Wushuang's name appeared in more and more top - secret files.
Border anti - drug operations, overseas anti - terrorism missions, hostage rescues...
Every mission was like dancing on the edge of a knife.
Injuries became a common occurrence.
Cheating death became the norm.
Ji Wushuang became even more silent.
She spoke less and less.
Her eyes became colder and colder.
Only in the dead of night.
Would she take out the notebook that Chen Lei had given her.
And the pen that was already a bit worn out.
The correspondence between her and Chen Lei had never stopped.
It's just that the intervals between the letters were getting longer and longer.
Sometimes, it would be several months before they could receive a letter from each other.
Chen Lei's letters were still filled with trivial daily matters.
Just as he had planned since childhood, he was admitted to Tangji College.
He was majoring in mechanical engineering.
He wrote that the university canteen was very big and there were a lot of delicious foods.
He wrote that he had joined the school's literature club and wrote some poems that no one read.
He wrote that Tangzhou had changed a lot, with high - rise buildings constantly springing up.
He wrote that Tangji didn't seem as solid as it used to be in his childhood memory.
He never asked what Ji Wushuang was doing.
He just wrote at the end of the letter, again and again.
"Pay attention to your safety."
"I'm looking forward to your early return."

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
