Synopsis

On the distant Blue Star, the Sovia Empire is mired in a complex war, its unstable situation engulfed in flames, as tense and fraught as the conflict between Xiong Da and Xiong Er in the real world. Qi Muchang, a middle-aged man whose life back home has hit a rough patch, is driven by unemployment and the crushing burden of family finances to join the Storm Z mercenary camp in the Sovia Empire. Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, a former member of the Dragon Nation’s combat forces who later lost his job, joins up to make ends meet.

There, they meet Huang Chengyan, a young university student who dreams of changing his family’s desperate circumstances. Their fates intertwine, and the three are swept into a heart-pounding rescue mission: heading to the heavily guarded Antonov Airport to save a trapped special forces unit. On this unforgiving battlefield in a foreign land, they face unknown dangers and challenges. Weapons and equipment are expensive, living conditions are harsh, and every step is a struggle. But for survival, and for the hope that seems so far out of reach, they resolutely embark on this thorny path as mercenaries, fighting to stay alive against all odds and writing a tale of passion and tragedy that is their own.

Looking for Special Forces Novels with No System

I want a military story with passion and friendship, featuring a vivid protagonist who gets injured and isn't invincible. I hate protagonists who bring a System into the army, show off, use face-slapping, and are invincible. That insults the very idea of the military.
