The mental tension was extreme, and the situation increasingly tense, yet the enemy never came.
An initial burst of energy, followed by decline, and then exhaustion.
That state of gradually tightening one's nerves to the max but never triggering the release could truly cause a complete breakdown.
Gao Guang and his team had been on high alert since nightfall, waiting for the enemy to launch a possible attack at any moment, but the enemy remained quiet.
It seemed as though the two shots fired in the morning that killed two people were just a way of saying hello.
Gao Guang knew he should let his men take turns resting, but he simply couldn't relax; even closing his eyes for a quick nap was out of the question.
He was just too tense, so tense that even breathing felt difficult.
Unsure of what the enemy was planning, Gao Guang had to admit that this time, the enemy had created unprecedented psychological pressure on them.
