Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1141 Promotion by recommendation, how could it be a fraud?

The team leader bravely threw himself onto the flames, attempting to extinguish the fire that was seeping in from outside.

In this situation, any major disturbance could attract the attention of armed groups outside.

Using his body to extinguish the fire was the fastest and most effective way he could think of at that moment.

As a result, his chest was instantly scorched by flames, causing excruciating pain, but he dared not utter a sound.

Fortunately, Qi Meng quickly pulled him up from the ground and, together with Wu Jin, took off their coats and covered him with them, which extinguished the flames on the teacher's body.

But in just a short while, the teacher's clothes were burned to shreds, and he also suffered burns of varying degrees on his chest and arms.

At the same time, the other trainees rushed up and used their clothes to block the cracks in the door to prevent the flowing flames outside from coming in through the cracks.

"Teacher, teacher, are you alright?" Qi Meng asked anxiously in a low voice.

"No, it's nothing." It took the teacher a while to recover, but the scalded skin still made him look painful.

"We can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly, or we'll be burned alive..."

"Also, we need to find Sun Chen and the other two; we can't let them get into danger..."

The teacher in charge of the team was surnamed Tian. He studied at the Army Engineering University for his undergraduate degree and later pursued a master's degree at the Army Command. Because of his excellent academic performance, he stayed in the military academy to work in education.

He spent most of his military career in the classroom, and rarely went to the grassroots level.

Even his shooting skills and basic physical fitness were inferior to those of a raw recruit.

Although he was always a scholar, it didn't mean he lacked the backbone of a soldier.

He led the team for this exchange, and he also designed the activity plan.

Now that danger has arisen, he, as a teacher, has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of all students.

In his eyes, those who were sent to Russia for study and exchange were the most outstanding and top talents in the military academy. Even if it cost him his life, he could not let the students be in danger.

Otherwise, it would be a loss for the military academy, a loss for the military, and a huge loss for the country!

Everyone was deeply moved by the teacher's heroic act of risking his life to prevent the fire from spreading.

But right now, the problem is very serious, and their primary task is to get out of here alive.

"Judging from this, the fire outside must be quite large!"

"When I came up the stairs, I found a fire extinguisher at the bottom. If we just open a gap, we can get through!"

"What if we get through? What if there are still armed men guarding the area? Wouldn't we be like lambs to the slaughter?"

"We can't just wait here, can we? Their intention is obvious: they want to set the theater on fire. Much of it is made of wood; if we wait for the fire to start, we'll be burned alive before anyone comes to our aid..."

Just as everyone was discussing whether to rush out or continue hiding here and wait for rescue to arrive.

Sun Chen, whom they had been unable to contact for some time, has finally been reached.

He sent a message to everyone saying that they were hiding in the bathroom on the second floor corner.

Outside, there were screams and gunshots. He hadn't been discovered yet, but he didn't know how long he could hide.

Just when everyone was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, Qi Meng took the initiative to step forward and make a decision.

"I propose we split into two groups!"

"Wu Jin, you're in charge of using the fire extinguisher to put out the flames on one side, then lead everyone upstairs!"

"I'll go find a way to rescue Sun Chen. He's in a very dangerous situation; it's only a matter of time before the enemy discovers him!"

These words were endorsed by the teacher and recognized by all the students.

Some of the braver ones wanted to go with Qi Meng to rescue Sun Chen and the other two, but they were refused.

The reason is simple: "With so many dependents, I can't operate effectively."

Although these words were hurtful, no one dared to refute them.

From the previous series of events, everyone has seen that Qi Meng and Wu Jin are fundamentally different from them.

He is decisive, quick-witted, alert, calm in the face of danger, and his courage and sense of responsibility are beyond question.

Come to think of it, how could there be any sham soldiers among those recommended for promotion?

They typically possess extensive military experience, and may even have served on the battlefield, giving them a psychological fortitude far beyond that of ordinary people.

They are all soldiers, but these cadets are like flowers in a greenhouse, while the others are the real trees that stand tall and withstand the storms.

At this moment, those guys who had previously mocked them for using connections and backdoors, claiming they had no real skills, felt guilty and wanted to apologize but couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Earlier in the studio, if Qi Meng hadn't heard the gunshots outside first and pulled them towards the stage to escape,

Every single one of these people will likely become victims of gunfire, dying in this foreign land.

Once the plan is finalized, let's get started!

Wu Jin removed a door from a filing cabinet and used it as a shield in front of him.

The metal cabinet door is thin and useless, but it can provide psychological comfort.

As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat rushed in, accompanied by billowing smoke.

"Damn, how many Molotov cocktails were thrown!"

Wu Jin muttered a curse under his breath, but in order to escape successfully, he still rushed out without hesitation.

Fortunately, the fire extinguisher wasn't far away, but the bottle was already scorching hot from the flames.

Just the process of carrying it back caused his hands to be covered in blisters from the burns.

With the fire extinguishers in hand, the group chose a spot on the left where the fire was weaker and began spraying, quickly clearing an opening.

Led by Wu Jin, everyone filed out and prepared to continue up the stairs.

The reason we didn't go downstairs was because there were still sporadic gunshots coming from downstairs.

From this, they could tell that the enemy was not retaliating in a targeted manner, but rather engaging in indiscriminate shooting.

In this situation, the only thing to do is hide, because showing your face will definitely mean death.

The fifth floor was also partially set ablaze by Molotov cocktails, but fortunately they did not encounter any armed men. Now they had to find a way to get to the rooftop to hide, in order to have a chance of survival.

On the other hand, Qi Meng did not choose to go the same way as everyone else, but quickly headed downstairs.

During the process, he had to be constantly careful to avoid being exposed and riddled with bullets by the enemy.

Fortunately, his long-term combat experience gave him exceptional combat skills and mental fortitude.

Having witnessed many grand occasions while following Qin Feng, he was able to remain calm even in such dire circumstances.

......

Meanwhile, in the innermost stall of the women's restroom on the second floor, at the corner.

Sun Chen and two other trainees hid inside, their faces pale.

Faced with the sudden terrorist attack, the blood, bullets, and corpses left their minds blank.

All the emergency rescue and combat knowledge learned in class was completely forgotten at this moment.

"Suka BuLei!"

"Would hiding in the toilet be useful?"

The door to the outermost cubicle was kicked open, followed by a burst of intense gunfire.

A man and a woman hiding inside were shot through their bodies, and they died still tightly embracing each other.

But the militants who broke into the toilets didn't leave. Instead, they pushed open the stall doors one by one to make sure no one escaped.

As footsteps drew closer, the doors to the cubicles were pushed open, and death drew ever closer to them.

Sun Chen and the other two in the corner covered their mouths tightly, their bodies trembling violently. One of the girls was so terrified that she wet her pants.

Who could have imagined that the very spots they fought so hard to secure for international exchange programs would become their own graves...?

"Ok?"

"Can't push it open?"

The armed men outside smiled, then took two steps back, raised their guns, and pulled the triggers.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The door was smashed open, leaving holes in it, and the three people inside, including Sun Chen, collapsed to the ground...
