Chapter 1 Falcon
"Father, Father...save me...save me!"
The falcon lying on the ground suddenly cried out, his head covered in sweat, his voice filled with despair and resentment. He then sat up abruptly, looking around in horror. But when he saw the astonishing scene before him, he was utterly horrified.
He was dumbfounded, stunned!
What happened? Why are there corpses everywhere?
Suddenly, a strange yet familiar word surged into his mind, and he trembled all over, his heart turning ice-cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Fear, helplessness, and despair are all insufficient to describe his feelings at this moment.
Oh my god! Am I... dead?
Is this... hell?
Hell, this is hell, I'm dead, I'm really dead.
At this moment, his mind was blank, and the only feeling he had was that his whole body felt like it was falling apart, with only the heart-wrenching pain being his best friend.
"I...I'm dead? I just died like that? I'm in hell?"
His eyes were lifeless and his gaze was dull. His face was as pale as paper, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. He trembled and exclaimed in horror, "Heavens! Could it be the Black and White Impermanence coming to collect my soul?"
The footsteps grew closer and more urgent. He didn't have time to think. He quickly lay back down, closed his eyes tightly, and silently prayed: "Please don't catch me, please, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!"
However, at that moment, several men in military uniforms came up to him and stood in a circle. They all looked solemn and sad as they stared at the falcon lying on the ground, covered in blood and riddled with holes.
"Fulong, what exactly happened? Why did the mission fail, and why did Falcon die?"
A lieutenant general suddenly frowned and angrily rebuked the man standing next to him, "Falcon is the most outstanding member of our Dragon Team, and he has never failed."
The Divine Dragon Team, a mysterious special forces unit meticulously trained by HX, is also the most secretive unit, with fewer than ten members. They only appear in events that threaten the fundamental interests of the nation. For example, dismantling international arms trafficking organizations, capturing the top figures of international drug cartels, thwarting large-scale terrorist attacks, and betraying national military secrets, among other things.
It's no exaggeration to say that in HX, joining this mysterious special forces unit is every soldier's lifelong dream. It's not just an honor, but more importantly, a profound belief, much like how ideologies and beliefs are deeply ingrained in the minds of ordinary people.
Falcon, the core figure of the Dragon Team, is skilled in both academics and martial arts. Compared to his teammates who are in their thirties and forties, he is much younger, at most a twenty-three-year-old teenager.
But at this moment, the youngest and strongest member of the Shenlong team is gone, gone forever. This is a tremendous loss for the Shenlong team and even the country, a reality that the Shenlong team cannot accept. For every member of the Shenlong team, this blow is simply too great.
Fu Long, a major general and member of the Divine Dragon Team, replied in a low voice, his face somber and sorrowful, his heart bleeding, "Captain, we were ambushed by the enemy during our mission. Falcon covered our retreat, but... but..."
He sobbed softly and heavily, so much so that he could no longer speak.
Yes, Falcon was shot while covering his teammates' escape from the enemy's encirclement and died instantly.
Falcon is a top figure in the Dragon Squad, and also an assassin—an exceptionally skilled, top-tier killer. Since joining the Dragon Squad eight years ago, he has been invincible, achieving a 100% success rate—a feat unmatched by anyone before! This has made him the number one assassin on the world's hit list, and the name "Falcon" has thus become synonymous with dominance in the global underworld! He also holds another unparalleled honor: his bounty has remained firmly at the top of the world's most wanted list for six years!
It's not that no one can take on the task, but that no one dares to. No one has the ability to kill this almost legendary god-level assassin! What's more, behind this god-level assassin is a very mysterious organization—the Dragon Team.
Many top assassins from around the world once took on this mission with great confidence, but they all died. Falcon, however, survived unharmed!
A year ago, a drug lord in Country Y offered a $1 billion bounty for the head of "Falcon." As soon as the bounty was issued, a group of people immediately took on the job. The ten assassins who accepted the job were all world-class top assassins from other countries who were on par with Falcon at the time. However, they all died two days after the job was taken. The news shocked the world. However, their deaths were like an unsolvable mystery. No one knew how they died or who killed them.
After that, no one dared to take on this deadly mission. Everyone kept their distance, and although the bounty was increased several times, eventually reaching 2.5 billion US dollars, no one dared to accept the challenge.
Because those who are eager to take on the challenge are often overcome by rational thinking when they try to answer the call for prizes. Reason tells them that although the reward is tempting and money is omnipotent and wonderful, it depends on whether you have the ability. If you don't have the life to spend it, what is the point of having more money?
Therefore, the name "Falcon" has become a taboo on the world's underworld bounty lists!
The name "Falcon" intimidates the underworld of various countries, striking fear into their hearts. Many people know of "Falcon," but no one knows what this "Falcon," this international king of assassins, this god-like figure, actually looks like, or what kind of person he really is. Because those who have seen him in person have all died at his hands.
This time, he and his teammates volunteered again. They heard that a priceless national treasure in HX had been stolen by an agent from the United States who had been infiltrating HX for many years, and that the treasure had been smuggled back to the United States before HX even received the news. HX was furious and vowed to recover the treasure.
What a disgrace it is that such a precious treasure of HX was stolen in such a peaceful era without anyone knowing! And how arrogant were the thieves? Did they really think that HX had no one left to rely on?
Therefore, this mission could be described as venturing into the lion's den. He knew that the chances of survival were slim, but he and his teammates still took it on without hesitation. Because they were all passionate patriotic soldiers and assassins in the military, bearing the honor and responsibility of the country, and shouldering the glory and mission of the nation.
