Chapter 233 - Beginning of a Blood Bath (1/2)
On the first day of the mock battle, the East Asian and West Asian recruits did not encounter each other due to the long distance between them. Each side searched for the airdrop supplies in their respective ways
At night, to prevent a situation of getting ambushed or accidentally run into the enemy, both sides chose to rest.
The situation on the second day was not much different from the first day, but it was only at night that the recruit leaders of both sides encountered a problem. After the first day of food consumption, due to their careful advance of the first two days, their supply searching speed was quite slow. When it was time for dinner, the food was not enough.
“Chief Commander Yang, someone from the team that left the main force requested an audience.”
Yang Jiwu leaned on a big stone. He looked gloomily at a blinking point on the detector somewhere. He didn’t know when it happened, but around five hundred meters near the main force, a bunch of supply signal was slowly gathering into a cluster.
According to the information reported by the observers, those were the supplies that were gathered by Qin Fen’s team.
“Call him over.” Yang Jiwu slightly straightened his military uniform and looked at a smiling young man with a pair of gold spectacles on the bridge of his nose.
“Greetings, Chief Commander Yang.” Zhang Xiangyang followed Yang Jiwu’s example and straightened the collar of his military uniform, “I won’t bother with the formalities, so let’s get straight to the point. This is the letter that our captain Qin Fen wants to give you.”
Yang Jiwu took the small sd card and inserted it into his watch. The projection was immediately launched from the watch.
In the virtual projection, Qin Fen sat on a pile of supplies, a can of beef in his hand and a can of nutrient solution at his feet.
“I have extra food. If you are interested in buying it, then come to me. If you think just because you have more people that you can snatch it from me, I don’t mind poisoning or destroying the food.”
Yang Jiwu really suspected that his ear had problems. At this moment, he even thought of robbing his companions. How could the military region send this recruit that had no team honor to participate in the mock battle?!
“Chief Commander Yang, you don’t have any time to consider.” Zhang Xiangyang reached out for the sd card, “I am leaving now. If my companion sees that I am alone when I return, they will immediately destroy the supplies.”
A cold light flashed across Yang Jiwu’s eyes. Zhang Xiangyang raised his hand with the sd card, “If I don’t go back within the time frame, my companions will also destroy the materials. So, Chief Commander Yang, if you don’t want to let the people following you starve, it’s best that you don’t get any malicious ideas such as catching me alive.”
The murderous intent in the eyes of Yang Jiwu was gradually suppressed and soon disappeared without a trace. The clenched fists were also relaxed some time ago.
If his opponent was only Qin Fen, then he dared to gamble and use various tactics to seize the supplies. But there was also Xing Wuyi in his team, a person who was even appreciated by Du Zhanpeng. If his offensive tactics weren’t good enough, then the supplies would be destroyed.
“You win.” Yang Jiwu raised his hand to his chest and turned his palm upwards, “Lead the way.”
The distance between the two teams was not that far apart, Yang Jiwu soon arrived at the location of Qin Fen’s team.
A large bonfire swayed gently, and the huge Thunderstorm was even more dominating in the light of the fire.
Yang Jiwu was stunned for a while when he saw Thunderstorm. In his heart, he was glad that he didn’t send anyone to attack. If we were to agitate the people here and they used this large area of effect combat weapons, I am afraid that many people will be eliminated by the decision of the electronic counter.
At that time, even if they were to storm this place, the cost would not be proportional to the benefits gained.
Looking at the recruits near the campfire, Yang Jiwu’s eyebrows gave off more uncertainty and confusion. The strength of this small team showed a serious difference in power.
Qin Fen, Du Peng, Chen Feiyu, Kyokushin Genichi, Zha Can, Okamoto Takeshi, Park Jong-Hwan, and Xue Tian, all of them were lead by Xing Wuyi. Each of these recruits would be a squad leader if placed in any team.
With just these people grouped together, they would already be a powerful combat unit. If they were to be given the responsibility of harassing the West Asian recruits, they would definitely achieve miraculous results.
*We have such a powerful team, yet I can’t control them. *While feeling a deep sense of regret, Yang Jiwu also felt very puzzled. These elite recruits definitely knew that if there were a few weak recruits in the unit, it would greatly affect their combat power.
According to common sense, these new recruits with insufficient strength should be expelled from the ranks. Why would they allow these recruits to join and drag them down?
Yang Jiwu looked at Xing Wuyi, puzzled. This man definitely knew the problems of recruits dragging people down, so why would he do such a miscalculated thing?
“Chief Commander Yang.” Xing Wuyi pointed his finger at Qin Fen’s direction, “You are looking at the wrong leader. The leader of our team is captain Qin Fen.”
“What?”
Yang Jiwu noticed that after he arrived at this place, there started to be a string of things that surprised him. First of all, Du Peng’s strength was much stronger than what the legend says. Next was the lock-on by Qin Fen’s AK47, then it was the elite recruits leaving one after the other. And now a proud person like Xing Wuyi, after having established a different team, wasn’t the leader of the team?
“One hundred thousand.” Qin Fen greeted Yang Jiwu’s gaze, patting the mountain of supplies that he was sitting on.
“One hundred thousand?” Yang Jiwu looked at Qin Fen, vexed and amused, “Are you crazy? One hundred thousand? Why don’t you go and steal it?”
“Chief Commander Yang…” Xue Tian jumped to the top of the supply packages and dragged his voice, “We are already robbing you now. Why are you asking us why we don’t go and steal it?”
Yang Jiwu’s words were stagnated and he was speechless by what Xue Tian said.
“Fine! I’ll give it!”
Yang Jiwu adjusted several transfer account projections. The virtual influence disappeared after a few distortions, and a complete graph could not be formed.
“There are too many mountains here and the signal is very bad.” Yang Jiwu looked at Xing Wuyi, “Do you think that I will repudiate the payment after I’ve left this place?”
Xing Wuyi flicked his wrists at Qin Fen twice. Yang Jiwu was also a person who cherished the reputation of Yu, he absolutely would not tarnish that name for the sake of this one hundred thousand.
Yang Jiwu grabbed Qin Fen’s class walkie-talkie and made a simple call to the main team, ordering people to come and carry the supplies.
“Captain Qin, your supply signal transmitter…”
“Not for sale.” Qin Fen interrupted Yang Jiwu’s, “These are the proof for when we finally exchange it for points, we won’t sell it.”
When Yang Jiwu left with the members carrying supplies, he turned back and looked at the weapons near the bonfire. They might only have fifteen people, but their firepower was so strong that the main force would not dare to underestimate them. It would be too difficult to snatch the material signal transmitter from them.
On the second night of the mock battle, the East Asian recruits got enough food when they woke up the next day. However, because the West Asian recruits were all gathered together, and because they didn’t have a special independent group like Qin Fen, it resulted in them not having enough food the next day.
When the sun rose, the commanders of both teams understood one thing. If you don’t want to be hungry to the point where you have no combat power before fighting your opponent, then don’t consider on how to defeat your opponent first, first consider the problem on how to fill your stomach!
Once that idea was determined, the main force of the recruits on both teams was no longer recorded as moving together like before, but was divided into about one thousand five hundred people looking for supplies!
“Old Qin, the supply signal transmitter on the right three hundred and fifty meters away is moving.”
“Old Qin, four hundred and seventy-five meters ahead, there is also a supply signal transmitter on the move…”
Time quickly reached the fifth day. On this huge plateau, the East Asian and West Asian recruits did not even run into each other. Everyone almost forgot that they had an opponent. The initial one thousand five hundred search team members also increased to two thousand five hundred people.
Collect diligently! Try to collect enough supply signal transmitters! This suddenly became everybody’s goal.
“Old Qin, there is another moving supply signal receiver.” Xue Tian whispered, “This one is a bit strange. The signal receiver is not moving towards us, but moves in the opposite direction of the main force.”
Xing Wuyi suddenly looked up, “Enemy!”
The scattered team members all had a faint smile on their faces. I thought that this mock battle would be completely spent in collecting. It seems that the big guys in the military were really comprehensive in considering and arranging this mock battle.
When everyone was used to having no fights, collecting supplies would determine the winners and losers. A battle was quietly about to happen.
Xing Wuyi pointed at the moving light, “Captain Qin, should we go and chase?”
Qin Fen looked at everyone’s excited eyes. Just looking for supplies all day was indeed very boring, “Alright, chase it!”
“Eh?” Deng Biao leaned over to Xing Wuyi and said in a rough voice, “Look! These two lights moving towards the main force suddenly stopped moving? Strange.”
“Old Deng, you really are stupid.” Zhang Xiangyang lifted his foot and kicked Deng Biao’s ass, “Those two teams that were looking for supplies apparently discovered the existence of the enemy. So they dropped the materials and secretly pursued them.”
“Then what about us?” Deng Biao assessed the signal transmitter in his backpack, “Won’t we be noticed if we chase them?”
“It seems that there is still some hope for your stupidity.” Zhang Xiangyang smiled and pointed at Qin Fen, “Captain, there should be a way right?”
Qin Fen didn’t talk either. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art coursed throughout his body. He picked up a shovel he found in the supplies, “You guys go and chase first, I will come later.”
The signal transmitter had a fixed range. When it was buried deep underground, the transmitted signal would be completely blocked.
If an ordinary person wanted to dig a deep hole in a short amount of time, it would obviously be very troublesome. However, it wasn’t impossible for Qin Fen if he wanted to do it.
In just a few minutes, the deep hole was quickly completed with the help of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Qin Fen carefully buried the signal transmitter that could be exchanged for military work, and jumped out of the hole.
“Eh? Why are you guys…?”
Deng Biao and the others who should have left earlier, all stood quietly beside the hole.
“Old Qin, you really are something.” Deng Biao gave him a thumbs up, “Are you the reincarnation of an excavator?”
Qin Fen quickly filled up the hole while asking again, “Not going to chase?”
Xing Wuyi, with a strange expression, came up to Qin Fen with the detector in hand, “Look, strange things are happening…”
