Chapter 105: Joining Wolf Fang
Everyone was looking at Xiao Zhuang. Lao Pao could not believe that a soldier from their Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company would become a traitor.
“Xiao Zhuang, do you know what you’re saying? Are you worthy of Miao Lian!”
Lao Pao was so messed up by Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang that he began to suspect if there was a problem with the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company’s ideological education for the soldiers, as all the incidents involved their company.
“I know what I’m doing.”
Just as he was speaking, Xiao Zhuang wanted to get out from the fence. How could the rookies let the traitor just leave to betray them.
“Beat him to death!”
The most emotional in A Team was Ostrich. He had good relationships with Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, but they betrayed him in one day. How could Ostrich accept that.
Even though he was beaten to the point of difficulty moving and his whole body hurt with every motion, that could not stop him from beating the traitor to death, nor extinguish the rage in his heart.
“Quickly go get him out for me!”
One-Eyed Dragon saw Xiao Zhuang surrounded and about to be attacked, so of course he could not let this little rookie get hurt.
It could only be said that he was worthy of being the “Wolf Fang Movie Emperor”; he acted so well that he fooled all the rookies.
Chang Ning stared at the goons going in to grab people. If he remembered correctly, next Xiao Zhuang and the others would grab weapons, rush out of the fence, and spray fire at the instructors.
Chang Ning did not stop Xiao Zhuang; he was just an actor following the script. Xiao Zhuang’s scheme was not in the script, and he did not want to intervene too much.
This was also why he had to help; it gave a sense of plot participation.
If it was important plot, Chang Ning would still intervene.
For example, Xiao Ying’s death; he would definitely get involved then.
He was not as easygoing as Geng Jihui. Either let Lone Wolf B Team monitor Ma Yunfei, or do not treat them. No armed police border territory mattered more than lives.
If Xia Lan dared to say too much, he would not care so much; he would control her first.
The development of events next did not follow the plot. Xiao Zhuang was obediently escorted out by two goons, just like he really wanted to surrender.
“Speak, tell me the intelligence you know.”
One-Eyed Dragon said.
“No matter what, I’m planning to surrender to you, so I’m one of your own.
Treating your own like this is not good, right.”
Xiao Zhuang signaled that he was still being held, wanting them to let him go.
“Fine.”
One-Eyed Dragon waved his hand at the two goons escorting Xiao Zhuang.
“Can you talk now?”
“Of course I can.”
Xiao Zhuang suddenly accelerated, rushed to Chang Ning, and locked his arm around Chang Ning’s neck from behind.
Actually, when Xiao Zhuang rushed at him, Chang Ning was already prepared, but Chang Ning did not resist.
The training had progressed to this point and could already end.
He did not know who designed the plot, but Chang Ning felt it was full of flaws, probably because he already knew some of the plot.
After satisfying the sense of plot participation, he was now mentally exhausted and just wanted to rest.
“Everyone stay still, or I’ll strangle him!”
Xiao Zhuang slowly moved while holding Chang Ning to the fence edge, so he would not be attacked from both sides.
“Xiao Zhuang, calm down. Holding me is useless.
You know, I’m just newly defected, not some important role.
Messing with me is pointless!”
Chang Ning was being strangled and having trouble breathing; Xiao Zhuang was clearly serious.
If Xiao Zhuang strangled him to death, he would really die unjustly.
After hearing Chang Ning’s words, Xiao Zhuang carefully peeked out from behind Chang Ning and saw that, just as Chang Ning said, One-Eyed Dragon was watching him leisurely, not caring at all about his earlier threat.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhuang began to sweat coldly and regretted in his heart why he had impulsively rushed at Chang Ning; he should have taken One-Eyed Dragon hostage. Now he was in a dilemma.
“Whatever, killing you this traitor before I die is not a loss!”
Xiao Zhuang stuck out his neck stubbornly, refusing to yield.
At the same time, Chang Ning felt breathing becoming difficult; Xiao Zhuang did not know this was training, and soon he would really be strangled to death.
Although with his strength he could easily break free from Xiao Zhuang’s hold, he could not do that.
Since Gao Zhong Dui had not come out, the training was not over, and he had to keep acting.
“Xiao Zhuang… listen to me… I have a way… to save Xiao Geng and them!”
Chang Ning struggled to speak while being strangled.
“Speak.”
Hearing Chang Ning had a way, Xiao Zhuang loosened his hold a bit.
Now he was in a dilemma; either way, it was death.
Xiao Zhuang decided to first hear what plan this traitor had; maybe he could really save their comrades.
“Here’s the thing: hold me and slowly approach the fence gate, then let everyone out.
After that, whether to breakout or fight these people desperately is up to you.”
Chang Ning whispered.
The plot development had deviated, so Chang Ning could only free play. What happened last was Gao Zhong Dui’s matter.
“Will this work? One-Eyed Dragon won’t stop it?”
Xiao Zhuang was half-believing half-doubting of Chang Ning’s suggestion; after all, Chang Ning was still a traitor.
What if it was a trap?
“Try it. Look, I’m still in your hands. What are you afraid of?
Like you said before, dragging me down before you die is not a loss.”
One-Eyed Dragon, standing not far from the two, just watched Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang talk, without intervening, and even when Xiao Zhuang moved toward the fence exit, he did nothing.
Gao Zhong Dui had announced the training ended the moment Xiao Zhuang took Chang Ning hostage.
If they were real drug trafficking armed forces, Chang Ning and the others would have been dealt with long ago; how could they still be alive?
Those criminals would not always negotiate conditions peacefully with you.
They would only roughly solve the troublemakers; getting them to follow your thinking was impossible.
‘Strange, why do they have no reaction at all?’
Seeing One-Eyed Dragon and these drug trafficking armed forces with no reaction, just watching him move slowly, Xiao Zhuang was filled with doubt.
Following Chang Ning’s hint, Xiao Zhuang finally approached the fence entrance, and even when he opened it, One-Eyed Dragon did not order them shot.
The atmosphere in the entire camp began shifting toward the eerie, as everyone watched them but had no reaction.
Being stared at by so many at once, Xiao Zhuang began feeling uneasy all over.
He stood at the fence exit, not knowing what to do.
Logically, he should immediately open the fence exit, but the strange atmosphere made him afraid to act rashly, fearing some accident.
The lives of the entire Rookie A Team were now in his hands.
“Don’t be afraid, boldly open the door. I guarantee no problems at all.”
Earlier, Gao Zhong Dui had given the final order, so he could get off work.
It meant the training was over, and Chang Ning was about to join the Wolf Fang family and start a new life.
Xiao Zhuang stared at One-Eyed Dragon, one hand controlling Chang Ning, the other opening the fence; the whole process had no accidents.
“Charge, fight these damn bastards!”
The instant the fence opened, Ostrich charged like an untethered wild horse; he did not look like he had been half-dead before.
“Ostrich, enough, this is training.”
Geng Jihui quickly stepped forward to grab Ostrich, but Ostrich’s momentum nearly pulled him down.
“Training?”
“Yeah, look, these people have no intention of catching us.”
In fact, Geng Jihui had suspected it was training when Xiao Zhuang took Chang Ning hostage.
Until Xiao Zhuang used Chang Ning to open the exit for them, their reactions confirmed to Geng Jihui that it was just acting.
Of course, not only Geng Jihui was smart among the rookies; the Medic also noticed something off, but he did not tell Ostrich, wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
Ostrich froze in place, and after a while said: “Then me and Qiang Zi’s beating was for nothing.”
“Ostrich, regretfully, that’s the situation right now.
But if you dare fight the instructors, I support you mentally.”
The Medic chuckled, goading Ostrich to fight the instructors; he also disliked that One-Eyed Dragon.
“Do you think I’m an idiot? With so many of them and my skinny arms and legs, I’d be torn apart.”
“Never thought Ostrich would have a smart day.” The Medic teased.
“Yeah, hey, no! Damn Medic, you’re teasing me again!”
Ostrich wanted to chase and punch the Medic, but as soon as he moved, his body hurt badly.
Only then did he realize he was still injured, and he immediately cried out in pain.
Ma Da climbed up from the ground, shook the remaining ribs off his arm, picked up the whistle, and blew: “Assessment ended!”
Earth Wolf and the others who were “taken out” before flipped up from the ground, removed their blood bags, and showed them to the rookies.
“Good guy, really fancy.”
Qiang Zi was also let down, grimacing in pain while watching the instructors show off.
The rookies turned back to the small wooden house; Xia Lan calmly and unscathed opened the wooden house door and walked out herself.
The big reveal on site: this was indeed training.
“Everyone, assemble!”
One-Eyed Dragon also dropped his disguise; up close, he was a handsome uncle, smiling at the rookies.
Hearing the order, all the drug trafficking armed forces tore off their headsets, picked up their weapons, and lined up with the old birds. Xia Lan and her assistant also ran into line at the rear.
The rookies did not line up; they were still a bit dazed.
Ma Da did not urge them, knowing the rookies could not accept it for a while.
Gao Zhong Dui, wearing a black beret and the special forces’ camouflage uniform, walked out of the command post.
The rookies stared blankly as Gao Zhong Dui came to the front of the formation: “Welcome to experiencing Huaxia Army’s basic SERE course.
SERE stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape.
Training course, divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages.”
Gao Zhong Dui walked to the rookies: “Although your scores are not passing, even extremely stupid, ignoring even Hui Lang’s warnings.
But your fearless stupidity moved me, so I can let you pass.
In other words, you passed the Huaxia Army Special Forces entry assessment.
Congratulations, you passed!”
After Gao Zhong Dui spoke, the expected cheers did not come; everyone just stared blankly at him, no cheers, no excitement, all dazed expressions.
“What? You don’t want to join Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment?” Gao Zhong Dui said with a smile.
Now that selection was over, he did not need to keep a stern face; maintaining expressionless was tiring.
Chang Ning had long received Wolf Fang’s admission notice; unlike the others dazed, he was smiling at everyone.
They had been trained for nearly three months, enduring who knows how much hardship.
Chang Ning understood their reactions; if he did not know the plot, he would probably be dazed like them.
“Stop standing there, brothers, we passed the assessment!”
Chang Ning punched Xiao Zhuang’s chest; this guy had nearly strangled him earlier, so he had to pay him back.
“We passed just like that?”
Xiao Zhuang could hardly believe it; in this training, he did nothing but hold Chang Ning hostage.
Thinking back, Chang Ning had definitely let him earlier.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of Chang Ning, even if Chang Ning could not beat him then, dodging was very easy.
Qiang Zi reacted, took off his military uniform, and threw it into the sky: “Damn it, we finally passed!”
With Qiang Zi leading, the other team members reacted, all taking off clothes and throwing them into the sky.
Anyway, they were extremely excited now and just wanted to throw something.
Ostrich even took off his boots and threw them: “Eagle, soar!”
The boots hit Earth Wolf; seeing Earth Wolf glare at him sternly, Ostrich froze in fear.
He thought, this is it, Earth Wolf would mess with him again.
Ostrich’s mindset had not shifted yet, thinking he was still in the selection training camp.
Seeing Ostrich scared, Earth Wolf then bared his eight white teeth in a happy grin.
Lao Pao walked to Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, smiling: “We passed!”
“Yeah, Squad Leader, we passed. You spent a year studying high school chemistry; your efforts were not in vain.”
Hearing Chang Ning mention it, Lao Pao was full of emotion; he had not attended high school and had to self-study, the hardship known only to him.
Xiao Zhuang happily said, “Congratulations.”
Lao Pao smiled: “Congratulations to me? It’s congratulations to us! We finally passed!”
After Chang Ning’s long subtle influence and Lao Pao’s guidance, now Xiao Zhuang was different from the original plot; he had less resentment toward Wolf Fang and Gao Zhong Dui.
He was quite happy to join Wolf Fang.
“Alright, celebrate when you officially join Wolf Fang. Now line up, board the troop transport vehicle in order, all return.”
Gao Zhong Dui understood the rookies’ joy; every batch of new Wolf Fang joiners was like this.
Each time he saw these happy newcomers, he felt his mindset rejuvenating.
“Gao Zhong Dui, why not make us run back this time.”
Chang Ning said grinning; maybe he was the only one in Rookie A Team not afraid of Gao Zhong Dui.
“If you want, I can satisfy you.”
Gao Zhong Dui looked at Chang Ning and said.
“Mmm…”
“Gao Zhong Dui, he’s joking.”
The Medic forced a smile, quickly covered Chang Ning’s mouth, and with Xiao Zhuang lifted Chang Ning and ran.
With the military unit’s “one catches cold, whole team takes medicine” style, if Chang Ning made them run back, could they sit peacefully in the vehicle?
Everyone finally relaxed; better not let Chang Ning cause trouble, and they still had scores to settle with him.
“They are really joyful!”
Hui Lang walked to Gao Zhong Dui’s side and sighed.
Once upon a time, they were full of vitality like this; not anymore!
“Yeah, but buddy, this is not the time to act old; the rookies still need us to train.”
Gao Zhong Dui faced the sun, looked at the rookies, and straightened his slightly hunched back from fatigue.
“Gao Zhong Dui, time to board.”
Chang Ning poked his head out from the troop transport vehicle compartment calling Gao Zhong Dui; only Gao Zhong Dui and Hui Lang were left.
“Coming.”
Hearing Chang Ning’s energetic voice, Gao Zhong Dui felt his fatigue dispelled.
