Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 138 Post-War Chat
"Let's go out now that we've finished our work."

Geng Jihui just wants to go back to his base, take a shower, and get some sleep. Carrying out missions is not only physically demanding, but also a severe test of the personnel's ability to withstand psychological pressure.

"Give me a hand, my legs are numb from squatting."

The old man, clutching the bomb, plopped down on the ground, his legs numb and accompanied by sharp pains, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you still able to walk?"

Chang Ning, who was closest to the old man, stepped forward and pulled him up.

"Yes, of course you can. Your legs are just numb, they'll feel better after a while."

After walking a few steps and getting used to the discomfort in his legs, Lao Pao and Chang Ning walked out of the fast food restaurant together.

The afternoon sun shone on her face, and although she knew the plot had a close call with the mission, Chang Ning still felt like she had escaped a disaster.

"Hey, there's a real difference between watching and experiencing something immersive! The difference is huge!"

"What do you mean by bystander and immersive?"

Mada walked up to Changning without knowing why, and just then he heard Changning talking to himself.

"Oh, it's nothing. I thought I'd seen blood before, but I never expected this..."

"You didn't expect this mission to be so difficult, did you?"

The high school team picked up where Chang Ning left off, saying, "Since Grey Wolf Mada is here, how could the high school team be left out?"

Everyone has a first time. Even though this wasn't Chang Ning's first time seeing blood, the psychological pressure and the situation she faced during a proper hostage rescue were different from those during a fierce firefight in the wilderness.

Both the Grey Wolves and the high school team can offer guidance and assistance to Changning in his current situation.

As the most outstanding and talented warrior recruited by Wolf Fang this year, High School Team attaches great importance to Chang Ning's physical and mental health. So, as soon as the mission ended, they brought Gray Wolf to Chang Ning's side.

Sometimes, the more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to get stuck on a single point.

In the long history of the Wolf Fang team, there have been cases of team members committing suicide due to despair, and these are often talented newcomers like Chang Ning.

In addition, with the number of people joining the army decreasing in recent years and a shortage of talent, the high school team cannot afford to ignore the opportunity to discover such a gem as Changning.

However, when they got closer to Chang Ning, it seemed they had been worrying unnecessarily. Chang Ning had a strong heart and was perfectly mentally healthy; he didn't need their concern at all.

"Yes, I never imagined the gap could be so big."

Upon seeing that it was Gao Zhongdui and Ma Da, Chang Ning immediately composed himself and stood properly in front of the two.

"Young man, you've only just begun. You have a long way to go in the future."

The gray wolf, seemingly lost in thought, gazed at the bustling streets in the distance and spoke leisurely.

"Alright, since you're okay with it, we'll be going now. Let's get ready to head back to our base later."

When the high school team saw Group B approaching, they signaled to Gray Wolf to follow them.

As representatives of the military in this operation, they will need to coordinate and handle subsequent procedures with police personnel.

When Group B and the high school team bumped into each other, the medic who was walking in front immediately led everyone to stand aside and make way for the high school team.

When going out on missions, everyone must strictly abide by the regulations. Even if the hostages have been rescued, the masks on your faces cannot be removed, and you cannot salute; you can only stand at attention.

"The hostages have been rescued, so relax and don't be tense. If you need anything, you can communicate with the police officers. Remember the confidentiality regulations; don't say anything that can't be said."

Seeing that the high school team leader didn't seem to be stopping him, Gray Wolf chuckled and said.

Since this place is not far from the pedestrian street, let's relax some restrictions as a benefit to everyone. They do have the authority to do so.

"Thank you, Grey Wolf!"

The ostrich was overjoyed upon hearing the gray wolf's words and quickly thanked him.

"Cough cough."

Standing next to Gray Wolf, Senior Captain coughed softly. Clearly, he was the supreme commander. Without his approval, could these rookies go shopping?
"Of course, thanks to Wild Wolf too, hehe." Seeing that Captain Gao's expression was unpleasant, Ostrich chuckled awkwardly, while inwardly praising his own quick thinking.

At this point, it's clearly a case of "better to sacrifice your friends than yourself." Nobody will go and draw fire for the ostrich. If they anger the high school team and their benefits are taken back, they'll have nowhere to cry.

What's wrong with having such a lovable, goofy high school team leader? Besides, he was just joking. These guys safely brought the hostages out, so they deserve some reward, right?

"Everyone, restrain yourselves and stop letting yourselves go and making a fool of yourselves in front of the police officers."

After giving his instructions, the high school team leader left, saying that the young people would feel uncomfortable around him.

After their superior left, everyone relaxed. Ostrich even criticized the other five for not helping him and leaving him to bear the pressure from the high school team alone.

With a heartbroken expression, he kept muttering, "It's faded, it's faded, our friendship has faded. In the end, I was wrong to trust you."

Six people living and eating together, everyone knows each other well. As soon as the senior team left, the five of them tacitly headed towards Chang Ning, leaving the ostrich behind so he wouldn't disturb their ears.

After saying that, the ostrich was still wondering why the medic hadn't contradicted him when he looked up and saw that the five people had already left him behind.

"So all my efforts were in vain, like throwing a wink at a blind man."

Wait for me, everyone.

The ostrich wasn't angry and quickly caught up with its comrades. The group of people were playfully bickering, creating a very joyful atmosphere.

Only at this moment can you see that they are just a group of young people with an average age of twenty-something.

If they took off their masks, bulletproof vests, and combat uniforms, who could tell that they had just killed three vicious thugs and saved a little girl?

At their age, if they hadn't joined the army, they should be strolling on a university campus studying or having an unforgettable romance.

However, some things still need to be done. There is no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is carrying the burden.

As the first units of the motherland to be deployed to the battlefield, they worked tirelessly year-round for the sake of the thousands of homes behind them.

"Hey, Changning, what did the high school team and the Grey Wolf talk to you about just now?"

Qiangzi gently nudged Chang Ning's shoulder and asked in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with a burning thirst for gossip.

Now that the conversation had started, the others stopped talking nonsense and waited for Chang Ning to speak.

"I can understand the others, but as the team commander, how can you be so gossipy? Your level of thinking has declined."

Chang Ning teased Geng Jihui.

"What are you saying? Who says the captain can't gossip? There's no necessary connection between the two."

Geng Jihui wasn't the type to passively let Chang Ning tease him without retaliating; now that it was his break time, he was happy to play around with everyone.

"That's right, Sha Po Lang, hurry up and tell us."

"..."

The remaining five people also began to support Geng Jihui. They didn't mean anything by it; they just wanted to satisfy their gossipy nature.

After reflecting on his conversation with the high school team leader and the Grey Wolf, Chang Ning realized there was nothing he couldn't say, so he briefly recounted their conversation to everyone.

The group satisfied their curiosity and, incidentally, told Chang Ning that the high school team leader had agreed to let them go shopping, but they needed the help of the police officers and could not directly contact the merchants.

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly write down what you want to buy, we'll be heading back soon."

Chang Ning said, while rummaging through his pockets.

At present, there is no small supermarket in their area. If they want any daily necessities, they have to submit a report in advance, and they cannot get them delivered immediately.

Now that you have the opportunity, why not act quickly? Wouldn't it be terrible to find out you didn't buy anything when you're about to go back?

Amidst the chaos, Geng Jihui, the team leader, was pushed forward to speak with the police officer in charge of liaising with them and hand over the list of supplies.
