Larry paused for a while and continued, “Fortunately, we survived every mission and never suffered

“Everything was smooth until our superior assigned a precarious mission to us.
“When he met us, he stated clearly that the mission was important but dangerous. In fact, he said that
the probability that all of us could survive was merely twenty percent.
“Since the mission was the most dangerous one that we had ever epted, we couldn’t help but feel
heavy-hearted.
“Nheless, we couldn’t opt out because it was our duty, responsibility, and immense honor to serve
the country.
“At that time, I somehow understood what my dad meant.
“We flew to Manchernius for the mission. Since the mission went on smoothly, we were delighted and
thought that our superior exaggerated.
“However, when we were halfway toplete the mission, a mole revealed some ssified information
to the enemy. Hence, our whereabouts were exposed, and we were surrounded by more than three
hundred enemies.
“It was toote for us to realize that the mission was indeed precarious. As the mission failed, we had
to try our best to escape.
“We fought hard for a way out.
“Unfortunately, only five of us returned to the country. Two of us were severely injured and passed out.
As for the remaining threerades, we failed to even locate the bodies.
“I still remember one of myrades said before he died, “Boss, run for your life. They can’t make it if
you don’t lead them. Take care of them. Also, take care of my parents!”
“With that, he sprang upon the enemies to distract them while I grabbed the chance to escape. Do you
know how heartbroken I was at that time?
“He died because of me. I watched as he fell to the ground. He dared not to even nce at me, for fear
that the enemies would discover me. At that moment, I felt that my heart was sliced piece by piece with
a knife!
“Nheless, I knew that I couldn’t die, for I had to live not only for myself but myrades. Besides, I
had the responsibility to take care of his parents!
“I finally understood what my dad meant. It wasn’t as simple as I thought to be a good special
forces member. The moment I joined the special forces, I had been shouldering huge responsibility and
calling!
“s, it was toote for me to understand it. Among the eight of us who went through fire and water,
three could nevere home.
“As for myrades who suffered severe injuries, one of them had a disabled right arm, while the
other lost both of his legs. Despite the tragedy, they didn’t regret their decision. After all, as part of the
special forces, we are mentally prepared for idents since day one.
“After the mission, both of them left the army. Our superior looked for a job for them to live their life
peacefully.
“Although they were still passionate about being part of the special forces, they had lost the right to
pursue their dream.
“The remaining three of us eventually applied to retire.
“Among all, we felt guilty about failing the mission, though it was beyond what we could do. Also, we
were tired and wished to go home.
“Our superior didn’t stop us but approved our applications straightaway. Besides, he didn’t get any jobs
for us because we requested him not to.
“After leaving the army, the three of us visited our friends who left earlier. When we met, we didn’t utter
a word but merely hugged each other.
“That night, we were wasted and cried like babies.
“The past is in the past. Apart from reminiscing, we also pondered about our future.
“When one of them asked about our ns, I said I would go home and take over my dad’spany.
“The other said he wanted to go home and take some rest.
“After a while, one of them said, “Boss, I’m used to following your orders without having to think too
much. Let me follow you. I can be your bodyguard!”
