Synopsis

Ouyang Lie, a former special forces soldier, was kicked out of his unit after one shot killed a terrorist but also accidentally took the life of a civilian woman. He drifted to Syria and joined a mercenary squad made up of outcasts from around the world. The captain was Ivan, a former Russian SSO major. The team also included Anya, a fiery Russian sniper; Kim Cheol-woo, a taciturn North Korean demolitions fanatic; Mark, a two-meter-tall German heavy-weapons brute; and Leo, a Mexican hacker and medic.

Their mission was simple: whoever paid them got their guns. But Ouyang Lie discovered that the squad had one ironclad rule: never abandon a brother.

As missions piled up, they went from testing one another to relying on each other with their lives. Meanwhile, an American PMC executive named Frank began hunting them across the globe...

Here you'll find CQB tactics precise down to the pores, brothers who trade bawdy insults without a care, a steamy romance with a Russian sniper, and, above all, the hard-as-nails faith to keep standing and survive after the whole world has cast you aside.

Pairings: Geng Jihui from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"; Chen Shanming or Gong Jian from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: The Blade Unsheathed"; Harley or Yuan Bao from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Fire Phoenix" (anyone except Thunder God is fine). Harley is really, really handsome! Stories without a pairing, but with a flirtatious vibe, are fine too.
