Chapter 157 - You Guys Arent Warrior Saints, Therefore I Can Use the Same Move Twice (1/2)
“How is this possible? How is this possible?” Every time this thought flashed in the seasoned soldier’s mind, he would always shake his head with quite the effort. He wanted to cast this thought out of his brain.
Bang!
Another dark shadow suddenly shot out from the pile of grass that had been pulled apart. The seasoned soldier saw, quite clearly, that the black shadow was actually a ball of mud. He promptly dodged to the side, and when the ball of mud streaked over his head, it suddenly exploded, happening completely out of nowhere. Countless specks of mud-splattered onto the face of the soldier.
“Motherfucker…”
The seasoned soldier extended a hand to wipe the mud off his face. He looked at the parted pile of grass and saw that below was a block of wood. There was a fine script carved in this block. You’ve been duped again.
Carved next to the fine script was another carving. It was a design of a baby smacking his bare butt.
The soldier’s entire face began to contort when he saw this drawing.
Within the course of events of being pursued, the recruit not only had the time to arrange traps, but this recruit also had the leisure to play around in mischief. This was absolutely an undisguised and open challenge that smacked one’s face.
The seasoned soldier’s contorted face gradually turned level again. After his head cooled completely, his eyes radiated with waves and waves of cold light. The corner of his lips lifted into a smile that contained a hint of disdain. “Kid, you want to provoke me into anger? Then you want to see if I make a mistake? You are very clever, but you are too inexperienced. If you hadn’t made such an obvious sign of intent and had continued making traps, I am afraid that I would have been so mad that I would have lost my mind. Right now… humph… it looks like you were too eager to make me enraged. I am guessing that you have used up all your moves when it comes to making traps, right?”
On the other end of the screen, there wasn’t even the slightest bit of a smile on Satan’s face. His golden eyebrows tightly gathered together into the middle of his forehead. “How strange. This crafty little guy always destroys the pinhole cameras in the area as the first thing after he finishes setting up a trap. How come he didn’t destroy the camera this time? Did he not discover it or something? The likelihood of this is very small. Could it be that…”
Satan’s eyes suddenly radiated with a glow of shock, and the monitor revealed to him the scene that he was worried about. As soon as the seasoned soldier calmed down, the seasoned soldier devoted himself wholeheartedly to thinking on how to strike back at his prey. It was during this time that the six pitch-black barrels of the M134 Vulcan Cannon plastered to the back of the seasoned soldier.
“Senior, can you slowly toss the weapons in your hand to the ground, sir?”
Qin Fen’s voice was filled with politeness, but he held the M134 Vulcan Cannon in his hands, which could pulverize any human into mincemeat. He clearly wasn’t as polite as he seemed.
This seasoned soldiers’ body froze as well. He was stunned for a moment before the corners of his lips lifted into a smile that contained a bit of distress. “So it turns out that you placed the trap here not for the sake of making me angry, but to have me calm down. You waited until I was calm enough to devote my entire mind to thinking about how to deal with you, for in such a state, I would be relaxed toward my environment and not be as vigilant.”
“Senior, you are very intelligent.” Qin Fen wasn’t stingy at all with his praise. “You are able to see through this little trick of mine so quickly. May I ask something? Can you slowly put down the gun that you are holding right now? Oh yeah, also carefully put down the grenades that you’re carrying. I am very timid. The slightest wind and stir of grass will likely make me accidentally cause the M134 Vulcan Cannon to begin roaring.”
The seasoned soldier sighed. He didn’t toss his weapon slowly to the ground like Qin Fen asked him to. Instead, he cast the weapon in his hand briskly to the ground. He swiftly tossed his grenades and his military wilderness survival knife, stock, and barrel, all to the ground.
Such brisk movements caused Qin Fen to relax. The seasoned soldier’s actions clearly told Qin Fen that he admitted defeat.
“Kid, what you’ve done is quite decent.” The seasoned soldier looked at the recruit who just walked out: Du Peng. After Du Peng took all of his weapons, the seasoned soldier said, “If this really had been true jungle warfare, I might have not been outdone by you. This time I really had underestimated my opponent. I underestimated you because you are a recruit.”
Qin Fen didn’t retort him. He already seized victory. There was no need to make this seasoned soldier angry. If the seasoned soldier really wanted to stake it all and force Qin Fen to make another move, more troubling matters might appear. For example, attracting other seasoned soldiers. If that were to happen, it would be easy for Qin Fen to sustain losses.
Satan, who looked at the screen, drummed his palms in a manner that was neither quick nor slow. “Interesting. He really is interesting. The crafty little guy is much harder to deal with than I imagined.”
The applauding hands of Satan suddenly stopped in the air. His eyes instantly grew sluggish. The scene of another location conveyed by another screen revealed yet the loss of another seasoned soldier.
When compared to the seasoned soldier who had lost against Qin Fen, this seasoned soldier’s loss was much more straightforward. The seasoned soldier didn’t have any time at all to perform any defensive preparations. He was simply kicked in the underbelly by a foot, which caused him to lose his combat power completely.
“This baby girl…” Satan slightly turned his neck. “Has some skill. First, she pretended that she had landed in the trap, and in the instant when her opponent had lowered his vigilance, she suddenly launched a sneak attack.”
On a different screen, Qin Fen had already tied up his seasoned soldier. He spoke, somewhat apologetically, “Senior, I am going to have to trouble you to help me one more time.”
The seasoned soldier was completely calm and even-tempered by now. He looked at Qin Fen with great interest. He wanted to know what this recruit was planning to use him for. He wanted to know how this recruit would deal with the other seasoned soldiers.
Qin Fen brought the seasoned soldier and Du Peng several hundred meters forward before stopping under a large tree.
“Are you thirsty?” Qin Fen raised his head to look at Du Peng.
“Ha?” Du Peng was stunned for a moment before he nodded his head over and over. “I am dying of thirst.”
“It is far too inconvenient to bring this captive along. Why don’t we have him tied up here for now, and we can first go look for water?”
“Fine with me. After we finish drinking water, we can discuss who will wear his military uniform.”
“That’s right. Wearing the military uniform should allow us to sneak past the other pursuers should we encounter them. We just need to be a bit careful and quiet. If we can make it to the night, it counts as our victory.”
The whispered conversations between the two faded into the jungle.
