Reversal

Quickly turning his gaze, Christian saw Pride and Envy's vehicle catching fire, he then turned his gaze to the side and saw that hundreds of silhouettes were emerging from hidden holes instead.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

A hail of bullets began to hit the vehicles, while the machine guns began to release bullets in response.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

But all of this was not the concern of Christian, who knew that Pride and Envy's vehicle would explode from within at any moment "Stop the convoy, return fire, we have to get the Humvee people out!"

"Affirmative!" they shouted over the radio, as the entire convoy came to an instant halt.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*.

"I'll go down for them!" Putting down the radio, Christian didn't hesitate, and got out of the vehicle, then closed the door and ran to the opposite side, thus having cover with the vehicles.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Running with his head shrunken, and his back hunched, Christian quickly reached the vehicle and opened the door after applying ample force, then looked at the driver and brought his hands to the woman's neck, noticing that she was still alive.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Glancing up, Christian looked at Pride and Envy without conscience.

Without delay, he pulled the driver out and laid her carefully on the ground, then went in and took the pulse of the others, seeing to his relief that they were alive.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Quickly and anxiously, Christian pulled them out of the vehicle and turned his gaze in disbelief, watching as the convoy suddenly began to move, while vehicles overtook him.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Grabbing his radio, Christian yelled "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!? GET BACK HERE!!!"

"..."

"DAMN!!!" Even with his ability active, Christian felt immense fury at the situation, but he still grabbed the women's weapons and threw them aside, then snatched his bulletproof vest and dropped it on the ground.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Quickly grasping a single of his explosive grenades, Christian threw one towards the enemies, then grabbed his only 3 smoke grenades and threw them all around him.

Gritting his teeth, Christian grabbed the driver and placed her on his shoulder, then gripped Envy and Pride in his arms and ran the other way as fast as he could.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" In frustration, Christian threw down his M4 and kept running, sensing his muscles tense, as he carried so much weight on him.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Startled by the sudden gunshots in his direction, Christian gritted his teeth, even more, looked at the small hill in front of him, and then tightened his grip on Envy and Pride, and accelerated his pace, giving it his all.

Christian ran aimlessly as fast as he could, while gunshots came every time he was spotted.

After 1 hour of running, Christian collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, as he left the covered bodies on a rock.

Feeling his muscles wasted, Christian adjusted his breathing for 5 minutes and lifted his head on the rock, instantly noticing more than 30 people in the distance following in his footsteps.

Pulling his satellite radio out of his pocket, Christian took a deep breath as he saw a bullet in the center, knowing that help would not be able to be called.

"Fucking bitches, I'll kill them when I get back" Frowning, Christian pulled out his pistol and whispered "I've got 9 rounds in the clip, and two other spare mags"

Approaching the passed-out women, Christian began to check their pockets, only to frown when he saw that none of them had guns or ammunition "These stupid women aren't carrying their gun; it's supposed to be mandatory..."

"5 explosive grenades, and 27 rounds" Thinking quickly, Christian decided to rest for another few minutes while he processed the situation "I don't know where we are exactly, no communication, 3 charges to save, and people following us"

But as he spoke, Christian frowned and approached the driver, noticing the blood dripping down her back.

Quickly pulling off the woman's vest, Christian looked at the wound and shook his head "They punctured her lung and she'll be dead in 5 minutes at the most if she doesn't get help."

Pulling bandages out of his pocket, Christian poured some water on the wound and started to squeeze the wound, but the blood wouldn't stop flowing and really the situation was lost in Christian's mind.

"I'm sorry" Closing his eyes for a moment, Christian finally pulls the army collar from around her neck and goes through the woman's pockets, finding a wallet in it.

Opening it, Christian manages to see a picture of this woman with a man in her arms and two small children smiling, causing his gaze to turn even colder as he muttered "Private Smith, I will see to it that I get this to your family, I will also end your suffering and prevent you from spending your last minutes with those beasts, I can do no more"

Pulling out his knife, Christian settled it on the woman's head and stabbed her, killing her instantly without any pain, then removing it and wiping it on his clothes.

Taking the body of Envy and Pride, Christian took one last look at the woman on the ground and ran off.

...

Lying on the ground while breathing heavily, Christian watched the stars above him with a vacant stare, while his violet gaze was long gone.

5 hours.

For 5 hours Christian ran and ran without stopping, being chased at every turn.

The sun went down, and the veil of darkness gave Christian the expected rest.

"They still don't wake up... the blow had to be very strong" Looking at the unconscious women beside him, Christian gritted his teeth as he felt the cold all over his body "I have to give them warmth, or they will die, in this state their body temperature drops a lot..."

Looking at the barren ground beneath him, Christian took a deep breath and started digging with his hands, constantly pulling out dirt so that after 40 minutes, he formed a big hole for two people, while his fingernails and hands bled from the constant rubbing, or the stones in his path.

Approaching Pride and Envy, Christian began to quickly undress them, and left them in just their underwear.

"The ground in the hole is hot, that temperature will last a few hours, but I have to give them more warmth and these clothes don't help" Frowning as he thought, Christian took off his own clothes, and dragged the women into the hole, then took his clothes, and wrapped the hole with them "This will help warm them up..."

Taking Pride, Christian gently lowered her down into the hole, then took Envy and laid her down next to Pride.

Noting the blood on Pride's lips, Christian looked at his little water and sighs, then took a piece of bandage and wiped Pride's mouth.

"They haven't had any water... but I can't give it to them asleep either, they won't swallow and may drown... their heads are not too high, and not above the level of their feet either, they will have good breathing" Nodding, seeing that he did everything right, Christian takes the rest of the clothes and starts to cover the women, making sure no part of their body is left exposed to the cold.

"Well..." Hugging himself while only wearing underwear, Christian nodded, and then began to stow his knives and needles in his underwear.

Turning his gaze, Christian looked around for a place of cover, finding a large stone a few feet away.

Leaning back against the stone about 10 meters high, and about 15 meters wide, Christian curled up, as he hugged his legs, and scanned his surroundings intently.

"*Sigh* I hope they wake up as soon as possible... I don't think I can carry them another day"

...

*Pa!* *Pa!* *Pa!* *Pa!*

Repeatedly punching the woman's face, Wrath shouted until her face was red with fury "HOW IS IT, THAT YOU ABANDONED OUR PEOPLE!!!?"

Grabbing her by the neck, Wrath knocked the woman to the ground and looked at her menacingly "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED OUT THERE!!!?"

With blood dripping from her mouth, Sergeant Price frowned and spoke coldly "We had priority to protect the materials and the builders, it was your leader who committed the stupidity of bypassing the mission, now tell your people to put down their weapons, you are committing a crime by targeting another soldier!"

With a dark face, Sloth pointed at the entire team of Seals, then took his radio and said "This is Sloth to central."

"This is central, did the second convoy arrive?"

"Yes, but we're in trouble, we're pulling out of the area and leaving the Seals to lead the place"

"Sloth, this is Major Walker, report the situation"

"The Seals team idiots abandoned Lucifer while he was on his way to rescue 3 soldiers from a burning vehicle, in that vehicle was Pride, Envy, and a female driver"

"..." With a few seconds of silence, Alexandra finally replied in an extremely serious voice "Move the radio closer to Sergeant Price"

Coolly, Sloth walked over to the woman on the ground and turned up the volume on the radio "Ready."

"Sergeant Price, did you forget our number one rule in the military?"

"..."

"I'll repeat it to you because you seem to have forgotten it..." Taking a deep breath, Alexandra shouted "NO ONE MUST BE LEFT BEHIND!!!"

"..." Silently, Price simply looked at her people, who were staring at her.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the radio sounded again "Sloth, hold position, we'll send a convoy to sweep the area and search for your people"

With a frown, Sloth turned her gaze to her team, noticing the same squarish face on the others.

Lust, Gluttony, Greed, and Wrath, the four women pointed their weapons at the team of women on the ground, while their expressions were dark and threatening.

"We can't do that Major, we'll go get our people, we'll take a vehicle and ammo."

"Sergeant Sloth, we need you to stay and lead the place, you know the Taliban movements-"

"Major Walker, sorry to interrupt you, but we really won't stay, I don't care if you punish me and as far as I can see, neither do my teammates care if you punish them, we'll take a vehicle and go get our team" Cutting off the signal, Sloth looked at the others and nodded, then grabbed Wrath's shoulder and spoke "Let's go"

*Pa!

With a final punch to the woman's face, Wrath stood up and looked coldly at the people pointing their weapons at them, then looked back down at the woman on the ground and spat "You disgust me"

Glaring coldly at the team, Sloth speaks "If anything happens to our people, we'll blow the heads off all of you cowardly bitches"

...

"Hissss~"

Suddenly opening his eyes, Christian froze as he saw the source of the noise, while his whole body suffered from the extreme cold he felt right now.

In front of him and wrapped around his leg, was a large snake at least a meter long, and as fat as a baby's arm.

The snake had incredibly dark scales, while sharp dark green eyes stared at him.

"Hissssss~" hissed the snake, showing its long, thin pink tongue.

'A python? No... there are no pythons of this color, besides they shouldn't be in Afghanistan... a black mamba? No... those snakes are only in Africa and they are not that big... a Gloydius? No... those are brown and small, according to the old man's books, there is no similar snake in Afghanistan' Quickly thinking about the type of snake to decide what to do, Christian broke into a cold sweat, feeling that he might die at any second.
