It was already difficult to trek through the rainforest, and it was even harder with an injured person.

Their attention had shifted from preventing enemies from chasing them from behind to figuring out how to bring John back alive. After catching their breath, they quickly made a makeshift stretcher so they could carry John instead of taking turns carrying him.

"Give me two magazines. I only have one full magazine left."

John lay on the ground while Rubber and Frank anxiously chopped wood, and George held a gun on guard. Gao Guang, who should have been taking care of John, walked over to George to ask for bullets.

George didn't look at Gao Guang. He searched his waistband for a magazine pouch and took out one, but hesitated and took out another one.

"Save some, and... don't charge into the enemy crowd!"

Gao Guang took the magazines and whispered, "I don't want to die. If it's not necessary, I won't charge into the crowd."

George didn't say anything and continued to carefully guard the surroundings with his gun.

Gao Guang crouched beside John with a pistol in hand. At this point, John was already somewhat delirious. He looked at Gao Guang and whispered, "Don't be... so crazy in the future. You were lucky today, but if you keep doing this, you'll die sooner or later."

"Uh, no, I won't."

John closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again with effort and whispered, "I think I'm about to pass out, but I'm trying not to. I'm afraid I'll die if I faint."

"Hold on. You don't talk much usually, why are you talking so much today? Rest for a while, don't talk."

"Because if I don't speak now, I may not have a chance to speak again. I got shot twice, and although they're not fatal wounds, no one stopped my bleeding or cleaned my wounds. Even if I don't die from excessive blood loss, I'll die from infection. Moreover, there are enemies waiting for us on the way back."

Gao Guang felt uneasy. He looked at Rubber, who was putting clothes on a stick to make a stretcher, and said, "You won't die."

The stretcher was finally made, and Frank walked over with it. Rubber, however, picked up his gun again and whispered, "Crazy dog, you and the captain carry Caps. I'll be in front, and Joey will be in the back. Let's go."

Gao Guang didn't move. He looked at Rubber in confusion and said, "Are you calling me?"

Rubber frowned and said, "I already said everyone's position. Isn't there someone else with you?"

"But I'm not called crazy dog!"

"From today on, you're called crazy dog. Move faster, stop dawdling!"Gao Guang was furious because he would never accept the nickname "Mad Dog." However, John, lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Too many people call me Mad Dog. It's a common nickname, but it's more suitable than Kung Fu Kid. You don't know Kung Fu."

"Is it time to discuss what nickname to use? Mad Dog, don't stand there foolishly. Help me put him on the stretcher," said Gao Guang.

Frank placed the stretcher next to John and asked Gao Guang to help him put John on it.

Feeling offended, Gao Guang grabbed John's feet and put him on the stretcher.

Gao Guang and Frank lifted the stretcher, with Gao Guang holding John's feet, which was much lighter, while Frank bore most of the weight.

After walking a few steps, Gao Guang couldn't help but say, "I don't want to be called Mad Dog. You can call me by my name, even if you call me Otto or Mr. Schmidt. But don't call me Mad Dog. This name is extremely insulting in our culture."

Frank didn't look back, he just whispered, "You don't choose your own nickname. It's given to you by others. Mad Dog is indeed derogatory, but when used as a nickname, it has become synonymous with someone who is crazy. It's a neutral term, don't take it too seriously."

"But I mind. Whoever calls me Mad Dog, I'll turn on them!" said Gao Guang.

Rubber's footsteps slowed down, and he sternly said, "Mad Dog, shut up! Move in silence, no more talking!"

John's mouth twitched, and he smiled at Gao Guang, whispering, "Turn on them."

Gao Guang really wanted to throw the stretcher out, but at this point, he seemed to have no choice but to hold back.

After walking for a long time, no one spoke until Gao Guang felt exhausted and couldn't lift the stretcher anymore. The stick slipped from his hand, and John almost fell out.

Gao Guang was too thin, although he was light on his feet, his strength was weak, and his stamina was severely lacking.

George saw Gao Guang's predicament and stopped the team. He handed his rifle to Gao Guang and took over the stretcher.

So Gao Guang walked at the back with the rifle.

They were about to reach the location where they parked the rubber boat. Rubber made a gesture to stop, and he gathered a few people and whispered, "Go and see if our boat has been discovered by the enemy. Joey and I will investigate. Mad Dog, you watch over Caps. Captain..."

Rubber hesitated for a moment, then looked at Frank very seriously and said, "If you're sober enough, I hope you can set up a warning line behind us. Captain, are you okay now?"

Frank shrugged and whispered, "I'm okay."

"Let's move."Gao Guang returned the unheated rifle to George and went back to John with his handgun. He felt helpless and a little angry because he could not accept the nickname "Mad Dog," but now everyone was calling him that.

Rubber and George quickly returned, their faces not looking good.

"The enemy has already set up an ambush, waiting to attack us, but there won't be many people," Rubber said, making Frank's face look even worse. He whispered, "Have you found the enemy?"

"No, but our hidden rubber boat should have been discovered. They moved it and checked it, then put it back in place. I guess they are ambushing us on both sides of the waterway, waiting to fire at us when we leave by boat," George replied.

The rainforest provided cover for both sides of the conflict. Unless there were enough people to spread out and occupy the vast rainforest, even guerrillas who lived here all year round could not accurately find and kill people.

Frank whispered, "There are only two choices, bypass this place and go back to the plane, or kill all the nearby enemies."

Bypass? Are you kidding? It takes over an hour to get to the plane by boat, and if you're lucky, it might take two days to walk there.

This place is not only a rainforest but also a swamp. It is impossible to walk with a person lifted up and walking in waist-deep marshes. Moreover, many swamps are likely to easily swallow a person completely. Why don't guerrillas ambush or search in the swamp? Because they can't do it, and they know others can't either.

So there is only one plan, find the enemy hiding nearby waiting to ambush, kill them, and then use the inflatable boat to leave through the waterway. Once you enter the swamp area, you will be completely safe.

Gao Guang couldn't help but ask, "Walking is impossible. John can't hold on for that long. How do you know our inflatable boat was discovered?"

Rubber whispered, "I placed a small twig under the rubber boat. As long as someone moves it, the twig will break or fall off. I went to check it just now and found that the twig had moved."

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "If the enemy really comes, they should have been monitoring the inflatable boat all the time. Why didn't they kill you while you were checking the boat?""It's simple. The guerrillas know we'll send someone to check first. They won't shoot at the person who comes to inspect. Two inflatable boats mean that there are at least four people. The guerrillas won't choose to kill one and let the others go. Their best option is to make us think it's safe, wait for us to board the inflatable boats and leave, and then shoot at us. That way, none of us can escape, and we won't even have the ability to resist."

Rubber explained carefully, then pointed in a direction and said, "The river on both sides of our route here is swampy, but on the landing site, one side is swampy and the other is land. The enemy must be ambushing us on the land side and waiting for us. Because of the dense vegetation, their maximum attack distance won't exceed thirty meters."

I don't know why Rubber is explaining this so carefully now. Is this some kind of jungle warfare field teaching?

Rubber withdrew his hand and whispered, "There won't be too many enemies because if there were, they wouldn't need to ambush us at the inflatable boats. Their ambush area would be even larger. Now that we know the approximate number of enemies and their ambush location, we just need to go around from behind and launch an attack on their backs. After thoroughly eliminating the enemy who ambushed us, we can leave by boat. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Rubber nodded and whispered, "I need you to understand our battle plan and the situation we face. Now, the three of us will go around to attack the enemy from behind, and you stay here and watch Caps. Don't do anything. If the enemy has reinforcements or someone searches here, don't shoot. Just hide somewhere quietly. Trust me, they won't be able to find you, just like you won't be able to find them. Do you remember?"

Once again excluded from the battle plan, but this is the treatment that rookies should receive. Gao Guang nodded and said, "I remember."

Frank took off his own earphones and gave them to Gao Guang, whispering, "The tactics we use often reveal the enemy's strength. Experienced people can make accurate judgments without even touching. Remember this, and don't go crazy again."

Gao Guang took the earphone cable. He couldn't make any sound here, but Frank and the others would have no choice but to break the silence if they opened fire.

"Be careful."

Gao Guang could only say to be careful. Rubber waved his hand and made a forward gesture, and the three of them began to quietly move backward. They had to take a detour and attack the enemy from behind.
