Li Cheng suddenly said, "You guys were all soldiers before. If the military order was for you to hold the ground to the death, what would you do? Even if there's only one of you left on the battlefield and there are still ten thousand enemies, but no one tells you to retreat, what would you do?"
"Just hold on..." Someone said weakly, "I know what you mean, Lao Lee, don't make it sound like we're all cowards. Since you say it's a military order, then we'll all stay here and die here. Besides, if we all die together, it won't be lonely. It saves us from heading out again, with brothers falling behind and feeling too lonely."
"Qing Ling, you're good with skills. Climb up the valley and take a look. What's outside the valley," Li Cheng said.
Qing Ling nodded, without saying a word, started climbing towards the top of the valley along the cliff.
Because his fingers were somewhat unresponsive, he nearly fell several times.
