Chapter 278: Jungle Wolf Operation
In the entire Wolf Fang medic team, it seems only Tong Youyou can’t shoot, so her request isn’t unreasonable.
But Chang Ning didn’t have time to teach her shooting, so he wanted to find a reason to refuse euphemistically.
Seeing Chang Ning silent, Xiao Fei was extremely nervous.
Deeply afraid that in the next second Chang Ning would agree to the other’s request.
Who could have thought Tong Youyou would take the opportunity to propose having Chang Ning teach her shooting? If Chang Ning agreed, wouldn’t the two have plenty of time alone?
Tong Youyou and Chang Ning were already in the same unit, which was a huge advantage. If they could often be alone, the two could easily spark something.
Thinking that all this was caused by her own suggestion to let the other shoot, Xiao Fei’s heart was full of regret.
What is called “trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice”? This is it!
Considering he might not have time to teach, Chang Ning, upon seeing Tong Youyou’s eyes full of expectation, suddenly couldn’t say the refusal words on the tip of his tongue.
“Alright, but I might not have much time.”
Chang Ning didn’t know why he agreed to her; he had clearly already decided to refuse.
“No problem, as long as you agree.
When you have time, come find me to teach me. I’m not in a hurry.”
How could Tong Youyou be in a hurry? He wished Chang Ning was busier.
If he taught her all at once, where would there be such a good excuse to be alone with Chang Ning afterward?
Xiao Fei standing beside them forced a stiff smile, her heart full of sorrow.
It’s over!
All over. Why did Chang Ning agree?
Now she had neither the advantage of place nor harmony; all advantages gone.
And the harmony was personally given to the other by her.
Xiao Fei regretted it more and more. If only she hadn’t let Tong Youyou come to shoot.
Next, where did Xiao Fei have any interest in playing with guns?
Her love rival happily playing with guns with her crush—one teaching seriously, the other learning carefully.
Seeing their brilliant smiles, Xiao Fei felt like she had eaten a big mouthful of lemon, extremely sour.
At this moment, the happiness was others’; she had nothing.
She imagined the chest target 100 meters away as her love rival and frantically pulled the trigger until she emptied the magazine’s bullets.
After venting, her mood indeed improved a lot.
“It’s getting late; we should go back.”
Since the timing was unfavorable to her, Xiao Fei felt staying would only make her angry and gain nothing, so better to leave first.
At Xiao Fei’s call, the female soldiers all boarded the bus in a rush and left Wolf Fang’s Barracks under B Group’s watch.
With Xiao Fei retreating in defeat, Tong Youyou suddenly felt there was no point staying at the shooting range, so after agreeing with Chang Ning on the teaching time, she left.
After the bus disappeared from view, Ostrich rushed to Chang Ning eagerly: “How’s that matter of mine?”
“What matter?”
Seeing Chang Ning’s blank face, Ostrich laughed: “Don’t play dumb with me, kid. Didn’t I ask you before to tell Xiao Fei to introduce me to someone?”
“Was there such a thing?”
Chang Ning was still blank; he didn’t remember Ostrich telling him, but Ostrich didn’t look like he was joking.
“No way, you really forgot?”
Ostrich, full of expectation, saw Chang Ning didn’t seem to be lying and directly broke down.
Luckily, he knew not to put all eggs in one basket. No hope from Chang Ning, but he still had Xiao Zhuang to rely on.
Looked at by Ostrich’s expectant eyes, Xiao Zhuang didn’t want to disappoint him.
It was already miserable enough; as a comrade, he thought he should give the pitiful Ostrich some hope—life was still beautiful.
“Cough cough, a good brother’s request I keep in mind.
Rest assured, Xiao Ying said she’d keep an eye out for suitable ones for you when she goes back.”
Xiao Zhuang’s tone was so natural; people with special training were different—lying as naturally as truth.
In that short time, Xiao Zhuang didn’t even have enough time to be sweet with his girl; how could he remember Ostrich’s request?
But he wasn’t exactly deceiving; upon returning to the dormitory, he’d call Xiao Ying.
Though late, as long as it got done, Ostrich wouldn’t complain.
“Xiao Zhuang shows true friendship in adversity; compared to that guy Chang Ning, you’re my good brother!”
Getting Xiao Zhuang’s affirmative reply, Ostrich teary-eyed went to give Xiao Zhuang a big hug.
Heaven knows how disappointed he was hearing Chang Ning’s words earlier?
What is called “out of the mountain and water doubt no road, willow dark flower bright another village”? This is it!
The extreme emotional tug nearly made the tough guy Ostrich break down in front of his comrades.
Facing the clowning Ostrich and disgusted-faced Xiao Zhuang, Chang Ning’s expression was very strange.
What expression would Xiao Zhuang have when he learns Xiao Ying’s death involves Ostrich bearing main responsibility?
“Alright, alright, playing the pull-and-step game, huh.”
Chang Ning looked at Ostrich mischievously; though he knew he was in the wrong, he couldn’t show weakness in aura.
“Is there? No, right.
Who’s pulling and stepping? Who dares pull and step you?
Tell me, I’ll beat the shit out of him!”
Facing the obviously unreasonable “good comrade,” Ostrich decisively backed down.
Physical fitness couldn’t match; shooting was half-and-half.
Even in combat, with Chang Ning’s pervert physique boost, he was hard to handle.
Strength inferior, better to back down without shivering than lose face.
It was just comrades joking; why take it so seriously?
“Ostrich, you’re Wolf Fang’s strategic sniper; don’t lose face!”
The medic’s eyes darted around, grinning mischievously.
“Exactly, you can’t beat in other things, but shooting—you got no confidence? Buck up!”
Qiang Zi also egged Ostrich on; clearly everyone was holding back bad intentions waiting for Ostrich to embarrass himself.
In B Group, steady Lao Pao and team leader Geng Jihui watched the two about to fart uncontrollably, amused and helpless.
No one thought Ostrich could beat Chang Ning in any aspect.
If it was when they first came to Wolf Fang, who won was uncertain; even just shooting, Ostrich had a bigger chance.
But now…
No matter how you look, Ostrich’s winning rate didn’t seem high.
“Forget it, forget it.
Everyone tired from accompanying the female soldiers shooting today?
Especially Chang Ning handling two alone; must be physically and mentally exhausted. Don’t egg him on.”
Ostrich wanted to steer the topic to Chang Ning.
Did they think he didn’t know the despicable medic and Qiang Zi’s schemes?
Sigh, what kind of comrades are these, always plotting against me—human hearts aren’t what they used to be!
There are bad people in the masses—that’s you, despicable medic!
Ostrich glared fiercely at the medic; if eyes could kill, the medic would have been cut to pieces by him by now.
Such a glare couldn’t scare the medic; he just chuckled: “Chang Ning, looks like Ostrich isn’t convinced.
I say you two should compete; save him bragging about strategic sniper all day.”
Hearing this, Ostrich’s eyes instantly cleared, faintly showing a bit of stupidity.
Paired with his expression, he looked comical.
Seeing Chang Ning look at him, Ostrich hurriedly explained: “Uh, Chang Ning, you know me; I was looking at the medic.”
He emphasized “medic” heavily; if someone unaware of B Group’s bonds was there, they’d think the two had deep enmity.
Later, Geng Jihui couldn’t stand watching them bully Ostrich alone and spoke to stop them, ending the farce.
Accompanying the General Hospital’s nurse comrades shooting was just a garnish in these elites’ dull lives; repetitive training was their daily routine.
That evening, B Group, preparing to rest, received He Da Dui’s summons.
Normally, this meant they were going on a mission.
Except for the last exercise, B Group hadn’t received a mission in a long time.
Of course, they didn’t mind boring daily training, but missions to maintain the motherland’s prosperity and stability were more expansive.
When everyone arrived at Lone Wolf’s exclusive combat meeting room, He Da Dui was already there.
The combat map was projected in the center of the huge screen, marked in red and blue; He Da Dui stood with his back to the map, looking at everyone.
Chang Ning had been in this world for a while; details of the special forces plot were mostly forgotten.
Before He Da Dui specifically introduced the mission, Chang Ning couldn’t confirm if this mission was part of the plot.
Speaking of which, didn’t Miao Lian ask him to go undercover at Ma Family? Why no movement?
He had even prepared to use the beauty trap.
Ma Qitong wasn’t ugly; using the beauty trap on her would burden Chang Ning none.
After the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team was all assembled, he began introducing the mission to everyone.
“Due to unpredictable international changes, criminal forces active causing increased pressure on armed police patrols.
Thus, at the armed police department’s invitation, Southeast Military Region deploys forces to cooperate with police in striking criminal activities.
This operation codename—Jungle Wolf!
Looking at the map behind me, you should all guess what needs doing.”
He Da Dui looked at everyone with a smile, then continued: “Right, this operation, we Wolf Fang are one of the forces, and personally selected by the Military Region’s Number One.
They say you are my He Zhijun’s precious darlings, too elite to show easily.”
Hearing He Da Dui relay the teasing words about them, the seated crowd showed indignant expressions.
They were being underestimated by the Military Region leader!
All finely selected elites, how could they tolerate such grievance?
Seeing the timing right, He Zhijun darkly said: “The leader says your exercise performance was okay, but unknown if you’ll shit yourself in actual combat.
Comrades, what do you feel hearing this?
Anyway, my face is burning, so embarrassing!
Now tell me, will you lose face? Confident to take first place in this operation?”
Chang Ning was originally searching for clues in the captain’s words, comparing to plot memories for useful intelligence.
But hearing they were underestimated by the Military Region leader—could he tolerate that?
Lone Wolf was a collective; the army was known for emphasizing collective honor.
No matter what, they absolutely couldn’t be looked down on; besides, they weren’t weak.
“Report!”
He Zhijun saw it was Chang Ning and said: “Speak.”
