Chapter 152 - Perfection That Is Impossible to Believe (1/2)

From the depths of the jungle, a seasoned soldier, who was carrying out his duties of conducting assessments, used his finger to gently rub his shiny scalp. He stared quietly at the scenes on the dozen or so monitors before his eyes.

Static…

One of the dozen or so monitors suddenly turned into the black-and-white snow of static.

“How interesting. Not only had he robbed the X2 of its loaded weapons, but this recruit can also use them in individual operation. Plus, he’s able to discover the hidden cameras. Which family did this baby come from? He just arrived at Happy Paradise Island, and he already gave me a show of strength? It looks like I need to properly entertain these… huh?”

Before the seasoned soldier could complete his words, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. A soldier from a different landing location had actually destroyed a camera.

The seasoned soldier smiled in delight. “It looks like the higher-ranked commanding officers finally feel that they can’t hang onto their face any longer. This time they really did get some decent quality babies over here.”

Qin Fen and Du Peng followed instructions on the map. They hurried to the so-called concentrated training location, and they looked at the surrounding situation. They couldn’t help but be stunned by what they saw.

This so-called training ground contained only a small room. Looking at its size, it looked like it would be extremely cramped for three or five people, let alone a dozen or so people, to be living here at the same time.

They looked at the sign that hung on the door to the small room: Commanding Officer Quarters.

This clearly showed that the building wasn’t the dwelling place provided for the recruits.

Rainforest surrounded the entire area. Qin Fen was unable to find even the training ground, let alone whatever housing there was.

This place was totally different from recruit camp. It had been three hours since the two had arrived at this place, and no one had yet to come out and receive or guide them. If it weren’t for the fact that this place didn’t contain the hidden building and was clearly marked on the map, Qin Fen and Du Peng would have really suspected that they had gone to the wrong place.

With no one receiving them, naturally, there wouldn’t be anyone providing them food. Qin Fen utilized this chance to reveal the wilderness survival skills he learned from his drill instructors.

There were simple materials around that were quite common in raw materials. Qin Fen was able to make a meal that smelled quite decent.

A slight disturbance in the brush of the rainforest could be seen, and two soldiers who wore camouflage, having quite a bit of vegetation hanging on their bodies to act as cover, walked out.

“Smells so good…”

The person who walked in front had eyes that carried quite a bit of shock. Qin Fen had actually been able to use such simple tools to create food that smelled this good.

Qin Fen raised his head and saw the person who had first walked out. Shock arose in his heart. The soldier that had made an appearance was over seventy percent similar to Du Peng.

He turned his head to look at Du Peng. This comrade of his rarely showed even the slightest ripple of emotion in the past. However, the instant the soldier appeared from the rainforest, an extremely hostile air bubbled forth from Du Peng’s body.

“You two are recruits who are here to participate in the training, right?” The soldier whose appearance was very similar to Du Peng arrived before Qin Fen. “Hello, I am the drill instructor here. This workmanship is quite decent. I will also give it a taste.”

Rumble!

The six pitch-black gun barrels of the M134 Vulcan Cannon instantly aimed at the soldier who sat boldly on the ground.

“What do you think you’re doing to your commanding officer?”

The drill instructors’ complexion darkened when having the gun aimed at him. Not a hint of confusion could be seen in his eyes. Instead, he possessed a mighty and oppressive aura that was authority seeped out of.

Buzzzzzzz…

The electric motor of the M134 Vulcan Cannon buzzed in its high-speed rotation. Qin Fen had a tranquil face as he looked at the soldier. “You are very calm, and you really do possess an excellent aura. Perhaps if it were any other person, that person would be scared by you. But when faced with me? It is hard for lies to be effective. You are identity is not that of a drill instructor. You are a soldier like us who are also taking part in the training. As for wanting to eat the food here? That is even more of an impossibility. This is because my comrade doesn’t seem to welcome you.”

Having his identity exposed, not a hint of embarrassment or awkwardness appeared on the soldier’s face. His eyes flickered with the glow of admiration. “Interesting. You actually saw through my lies in an instant. Can you tell me at what parts I went wrong just now?”

Qin Fen shook his head and didn’t say a word. He brought the meat stew, which had finished cooking, to Du Peng’s “bowl”. The bowl was actually something that was made ad hoc out of flexible wood.

Du Peng looked at the person who arrived with full hostility. He said not a word and was completely silent as he took the meat stew that was handed to him.

Qin Fen could feel a faint tremor in Du Peng’s hand when he took the meat soup.

A martial artist of the peak four-star strength wouldn’t tremble the slightest bit even when lifting a hundred-pound object. How was it possible for a tiny bowl of meat stew to cause him to shake?

Qin Fen understood the situation very well. Du Peng’s hand had shaken not because of his lack of strength, but because of the man who had just appeared before them. There was an extreme change and fluctuations in his emotions, and only in this way could such a situation happen.

The fact that Du Peng didn’t talk caused Qin Fen to think about his good friend Enzo Rota. These two quiet men might be hard to get close to from the perspectives of others, but in Qin Fen’s eyes, they possessed a sort of indescribable intimacy. Even if he nearly rarely interacted with Du Peng, he could still feel that Du Peng didn’t have any negative feelings towards Qin Fen gaining the title of being the number one strongest recruit in fighting. At most, Du Peng just felt a desire to do battle, something that a martial artist should possess.

It was very rare for Qin Fen to have malice towards someone he was unfamiliar with. Today perhaps it was because of his relationship that was like loving the house and its crow. He didn’t have a good impression of this the person that had newly appeared.
