Chapter 275 - Appearance of Thunderstorm (1/2)

Qin Fen is injured! Qin Fen is injured!

The hottest East Asian recruit in the recruit tournament, Qin Fen, was injured.

Like a whirlwind, the news spread quickly within the military camp of the recruit tournament.

The most discussed recruit had been ambushed during the beginning of the martial art tournament, just when the prologue curtains were opening and the recruit tournament was entering the climax.

For such a thing to occur at this timing… it was something that was hard to be accepted as a pure coincidence by anyone.

As the news of Qin Fen’s injury spread, various speculations started going around the audience as they became concerned about the tournament.

The European general wanted revenge so he secretly hired an assassin to ambush Qin Fen.

The American general wanted to prevent the champion throne from being taken away by the East Asians, so he secretly hired a hitman to ambush Qin Fen.

The speculative rumors spread quickly at the breakfast tables. The audience members who had seen the tournament schedule were more concerned about whether or not Qin Fen would be able to participate in the sniper tournament.

With a curious mindset, a large number of spectators had eaten breakfast inattentively and rushed to the location where the sniper tournament was taking place. Some of the audience members had no intention to witness the sniper tournament, but with the rumors of the Qin Fen’s ambush going around, they grew interested in the sniper tournament that they previously had little interest in.

The audience stand of the shooting range was packed with people for the first time. The number of people was even more than the number of people who had attended the advancement of the top thirty-two recruits from the top sixty-four of the martial art event. This was all because Qin Fen was ambushed.

Will Qin Fen appear today?

Does he need to be in the hospital to be treated?

Who was behind Qin Fen’s ambush?

The tournament slowly began as the audience were making speculations, with a huge projection screen appearing on the top of the audience.

Qin Fen! It is Qin Fen!

The crowd immediately noticed Qin Fen from the huge projection screen. He was in a green East Asian military uniform with his right arm bandaged in front of his chest. His face did not have the glow he used to have, replaced with a little hidden gloomy expression.

Tens of thousands of viewers gasped at the same time, which made a ” si ” sound, with a touch of pity in it.

The European and American recruits who stood near the East Asian recruits looked even paler than Qin Fen.

With the news of Qin Fen’s injury surfacing, both the European and American recruits began to worry about whether someone would aim malicious accusations towards them.

The leading generals of major military regions also did not sleep last night because of this sudden incident.

A recruit being ambushed, should it have happened any other day or to any other recruit, it would have probably been ignored. But this had to happen to the most discussed recruit in this recruit tournament, making it difficult for others not to speculate rumors towards a malicious direction.

The generals from the West Asia and Africa military regions also had headaches.

Just the night before, Qin Fen used an extremely violent method to eliminate the American mobile armor team from the tournament. As the next contender, it would take a miracle for them to defeat Qin Fen, or unless the fabled god Buddha appeared. Or perhaps, there was something wrong with the mobile armor pilot, and Qin Fen’s health caused him to be unable to maneuver tough combat methods while controlling the mobile armor.

Serious injuries? Direct death? Both were good methods!

Except for the East Asian military region, it could be said that all the other four major military region had different motives to commit the crime. As for who the person behind it was, no one was able to tell immediately. They were only able to cooperate with Zhao Huzi’s investigation to prove their innocence.

The sniper tournament was very different from the first two pistols and semi-automatic rifle tournament.

To be a first-class sniper, shooting a long-range moving target or a static target was nothing. The real challenge was that the person must be able to assassinate the enemy in real life.

A sniper is different from an ordinary soldier. Their targets are not ordinary semi-automatic rifle holding soldiers, but more authoritative commanding officers or talented people.

People who had the potential to be commanding officers often had keen instincts to analyze complex and volatile battlefield situations. Similarly, the person who can become a commanding officer, regardless they are from the federation or a terrorist from the anti-government armed forces will also be equipped with more valuable martial art skills.

With keen intuition and the higher martial art values, the commanding officers were more sensitive to the presence of danger and killing intent compared to the ordinary soldiers. Upon being locked on as a target, the commanding officer would have sensed it and evade immediately.

In this sniping tournament, the target was no longer moving cardboard, but living human. A group of commanding officers that served the military for years from all sorts of ranks with the ability to hide, camouflage and even counterattack.

In previous sniper tournaments, the recruits were often completely eliminated from the tournament through “death”. From these various ranked officers, it was natural to have a small group of people who were from special forces. Amongst them were individuals with special expertise in anti-sniping.

Qin Fen looked carefully at the rules of the tournament. Based on the difference in the distance between the target and the identity of the target, the scores would be different. The person with the highest score accumulated would be the winner.

Note: In order to fully test the quality of the sniper, a fake military uniform could sometimes be put on the commanding officers. There were cases where low-ranking officers pretended to be senior officers, and senior officers used junior officials’ clothing to hide their identity.

Qin Fen nodded slowly. The sniper tournament seems to be more formal than expected, even using methods to confuse the sense of sight and hearing of a sniper.
