Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1140 Something's not right, it just doesn't feel right!

"What about people?"

"Have you seen Commissioner Qin?"

"Hu Yuan, have you seen where Commissioner Qin went?"

Red Square is about to begin another round of rehearsals.

Hou Haifeng was frantic because he couldn't find Qin Feng anywhere.

Hu Yuan responded: "Commissioner Qin left in a hurry earlier, as if something urgent had happened."

Hou Haifeng was extremely anxious: "What could be more urgent than the military parade rehearsal?"

He took out his phone and dialed Qin Feng's number again and again, but no one answered at all.

"This whole mess... these young people are really something..."

Hou Haifeng was pacing anxiously, while Qin Feng, as the flag bearer of the team, was the soul of the honor guard.

Leaving now would be the death of him, wouldn't it?

He was glad that no one had extended an olive branch beforehand, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to handle the situation!

Hou Haifeng asked, "When he left, did he say where he was going or when he would be back?"

Hu Yuan shook his head: "No."

Hou Haifeng clutched his head, suddenly feeling like he had fallen from the clouds to the ground. Helpless, he could only pull Zhang Wei back up from the back of the line.

Upon learning that Qin Feng had left without cause, Zhang Wei, who had returned to his position as flag bearer, was overjoyed.

The moment he gripped the flagpole again and stood at the front of the line once more, it felt as if everything had returned to normal.

As the rehearsal began, the team started walking around the Red Square in order, with Hou Haifeng, as the general commander, following along as always.

But the more I looked, the more his brows furrowed...

Something doesn't taste right!

It's just not right!

Even though it's just a change of one person, the whole team doesn't look as coordinated as before!

Although there were no major problems with Zhang Wei taking the flag, and there was nothing particularly wrong with him overall, it just didn't feel as good as before.

It's like having your horizons broadened; after seeing the good things, it's hard to accept mediocrity.

After the rehearsal ended, Zhang Wei stood tall and proud, confidently awaiting praise from his superior, but in the end, all he received were sighs of helplessness.

"Let's leave it at that for now. You'll take over Qin Zhengwei's position for now. When he comes back, you can go to the back."

"..."

Zhang Wei was on the verge of tears.

He felt that the leader must have misremembered or said it backwards.

It wasn't him replacing Qin Feng; it was clearly Qin Feng who took his place after arriving.

Zhang Wei stubbornly refused to admit defeat: "I just don't believe it. I've practiced for so long, and I can't even walk well with a half-baked skill level?"

But when he put all his skills into it and went through it again with complete concentration, he found that Hou Haifeng's brows were furrowed even more tightly.

It was only at this moment that he realized that one percent talent could easily crush ninety-nine percent of effort.

......

Chaos erupted in the theater, with gunshots, screams, wails, and pleas for mercy all blending together.

Behind a cabinet in an archive room on the fourth floor, a few members of the exchange group, still shaken by the experience, were hiding.

However, including Qi Meng and Wu Jin, there were only seven people in total, three of whom were short.

"We still can't get in touch with Sun Chen and the others, what should we do?"

"Could something have happened to them?"

"Don't talk nonsense! They might have found a place to hide, just like us..."

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, each offering a comment.

At the same time, they also cast grateful glances at Qi Meng and Wu Jin.

Earlier, before the chaos even began, Qi Meng had keenly heard the sudden noises coming from outside.

Soldiers who have been on the battlefield are vastly different from trainees raised in a sheltered environment.

He immediately recognized the danger and urgently notified the teachers to lead everyone to evacuate from the front and back stages.

However, during the evacuation, the rear gate was suddenly broken open, causing chaos at the scene.

Everyone scattered and fled, and Sun Chen and two others were separated from the others in the panicked rush.

On the escape route, driven by instinct, they would definitely want to run towards the exit. Even the teacher in charge had the same idea at first, but it was immediately rejected by Qi Meng and Wu Jin.

They had fought drug traffickers and participated in peacekeeping missions, so they knew that the more chaotic the environment, the more important it was to remain calm and analyze the situation.

In situations like this, running upstairs is the only chance of survival.

So, Qi Meng and his companion did the opposite. While everyone else rushed out and got riddled with bullets, they chose to quickly hide on the fourth floor.

There are many offices upstairs, and it will take some effort to find them one by one.

As long as they can hold out until rescue arrives, they will be able to escape danger.

Da da da.......

bang bang bang ......

Gunshots suddenly rang out in the corridor outside.

There were also sounds of people fleeing in panic and crying out.

Someone must have realized that they couldn't escape through the front door and opted to go upstairs, but by then it was too late.

The people inside the room held their breath and huddled in a corner, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear of attracting the attention of the armed men outside.

In contrast, Qi Meng and Wu Jin stood guard on either side of the door in a combat stance, always on alert for anyone breaking in.

"Have you called yet?"

"Brother Feng told us to hide first and make sure everyone else is safe. He'll figure something out."

"The embassy must know about something this big. Will they participate in the rescue?"

"We can't participate, so we can only put pressure on the local police..."

"This is fucking ridiculous. With the Russians' violent rescue tactics, they're probably going to wipe us out along with the bandits..."

Just as the two were talking quietly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Someone was running wildly down the hallway and frantically twisting the doorknob.

It seems they hope to find a place for him to hide in.

But the vast majority of them are locked and cannot be opened.

Soon, the man arrived at the room where they were hiding, and shook the doorknob loudly.

"Damn it, damn it, not a single one is open!"

The person outside was speaking Russian. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could sense their panic from their emotions.

"How about we open the door and let him come in and hide?"

At this moment, someone whispered that there was enough space here to hide even ten more people.

The teacher in charge hesitated for a moment, but then looked up at Qi Meng and the other person who were guarding the door.

But the response they received was a simultaneous shake of their heads and a warning look in their eyes.

Although it may seem selfish, in this situation, the safety of one's own people must be the priority.

Opening the door would be too obvious, and there are still armed men loitering outside. If they let people in, they would surely be wiped out in quick succession.

Sure enough, after trying a few times and failing to open the door, the guy outside went in another direction.

But they had only taken a few steps when armed men appeared from both sides, blocking their path and shooting them to death.

The corridor returned to silence, and the people hiding inside finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, one after another, glass bottles shattered in the corridor, followed by small flames flowing out from under the door.

"Molotov cocktail!"

Qi Meng and Wu Jin's pupils contracted sharply.

If flammable liquids were allowed to flow in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that moment, the teacher leading the group bravely lunged forward and pressed his body against the flames...
