Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 160 Drawing Lots
People who have things on their minds tend to have a harder time than others, and Chang Ning is such a person.

He usually jokes around with his comrades like a carefree big boy, but when the night is quiet, he often sits alone in a daze, not thinking about anything and simply letting his mind go blank.

Chang Ning's identity as a time traveler brought her not only the convenience of knowing the plot, but also a slight distance between her and everyone else.

He was confused about this and didn't know what he should do to bridge the gap.

This problem had been bothering Chang Ning for a long time, but she couldn't ask for help from others and had to find a solution on her own.

"Sha Po Lang, report your situation."

The familiar voice of the high school team leader in the earpiece pulled Chang Ning back from her chaotic thoughts.

"This is Sha Po Lang. I am currently in good condition and have no adverse reactions."

It is slowly approaching you.

While Chang Ning was thinking, his height dropped rapidly.

The white guide lights on the ground were clearly visible, and he could even see his comrades on the ground, who looked as small as ants. Chang Ning, who was leaning against the car and talking, looked like an ostrich no matter how you looked at him.

"Wild Wolf, be careful."

Judging from the tone of Gao Zhong's words, it seemed as if he was relieved that there was no problem with him. Last time was an accident, okay? He didn't do it on purpose!
Chang Ning immediately guessed what the opposing team was thinking from the tone of Gao Zhong's voice. He could only say that he would leave everything to time and that time would prove who was the most reliable person in 026.

Last time, it was because of a sudden change in wind direction, plus his unfamiliarity with parachute operation that caused him to drift far away. If he could do it again, he would definitely show Captain Gao what a textbook-level perfect landing looks like.

Mentioning the last parachute jump into Changning inevitably brings to mind Lin Miaomiao, who was still a junior high school student at the time. The little girl is probably still working hard on her homework right now.

At the same time, Lin Miaomiao, who was lying on her desk pondering a reading comprehension question, sneezed.

"You have a cold? My throat doesn't hurt."

Lin Miaomiao suddenly sneezed, and her first reaction was to check if she had caught a cold.

But she didn't feel any discomfort in her body; instead, her stomach started rumbling.

"So hungry~"

Lin Miaomiao rubbed her stomach with a frown, thinking that after finishing this problem, she would go out and see what snacks she could eat in the refrigerator.

The little incident at night shouldn't connect two completely unrelated people. Just before landing, Chang Ning skillfully prepared to unload the force.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he ran forward a short distance due to inertia, until he felt he could control the momentum and stopped.

When Chang Ning landed successfully, his comrades, who had been waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward to help him fold his parachute.

In principle, such things are usually done personally, but Chang Ning did not refuse his comrades' kindness.

He didn't believe that Xiao Zhuang and the others would deliberately fold the parachute incorrectly to cause him to have an accident during his next skydive. They were all people who could entrust their lives to each other, and there was no deep hatred between them, so there was no need to do this to him.

"Everyone assemble!"

After everyone landed successfully, the high school team asked everyone to assemble.

Under the lamplight, Chang Ning couldn't detect anything amiss on Gao Zhong's stern face, which meant that Gao Zhong wouldn't try anything to punish them tonight, so Chang Ning felt relieved.

"To be honest, I'm very surprised by your progress. You are the most talented and best players I have ever coached!"

Contrary to his usual behavior, the high school team did not verbally criticize anyone today; instead, they praised everyone highly.

However, Chang Ning didn't appreciate the comparison. He hadn't forgotten that Mada had kicked him off the plane during his first skydive, nor had he forgotten how he overcame his fear of heights under the training of the high school team.

It's all tears when I try to tell you!

Something unusual must be going on. Chang Ning didn't believe that Gao Zhong's unusual behavior today was a sign of a change in temperament.

He was more inclined to believe that the senior high school team was initially optimistic but then ruthlessly undermining them, and that there was definitely a trap waiting for them later. But then again, even if the senior high school team did set them up, what could Chang Ning do? Was he supposed to disobey orders? Unless he wanted to quit the military.

As long as they stay in Langya, even if the high school team secretly set traps for them today, or even if the high school team openly told them that they were going to trap them today, they would still jump into the trap knowing there was one ahead.

Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and they had no chance to resist being dug into a pit for training purposes.

Just as Chang Ning predicted, after praising everyone, the high school team revealed their true colors.

“I have a deck of cards here. Send a representative to draw lots. The final result will determine whether you are on the red team or the blue team.”

"report!"

Upon seeing that it was Chang Ning who called the report, the high school team had a bad feeling.

"speak."

"I have two questions about the draw: What was the reason for the draw? And what are the differences between the red and blue teams?"

Because this is not an exercise between military regions, the red and blue sides differ greatly in tactics and rules, so Chang Ning must understand the differences between the two.

I can answer your question right now.

The reason for the lottery is that we want to conduct an assessment of you soon.

There is a clear disparity between the red and blue teams in terms of weaponry and role-playing.

Having said all that, Chang Ning and Group B probably already knew exactly what the high school team wanted them to do.

Veterans like Lao Pao have participated in countless military exercises, and even Chang Ning has had similar experiences and received military merits. Therefore, they can understand Gao Zhong's explanation.

"report!"

This time it's Geng Jihui.

"explain."

"I would like to know the specific time of the assessment."

Upon hearing Geng Jihui's question, Gao Zhong laughed.

"It's random; it could be the next second or a day later. It depends on my mood."

It was clearly intended to make things difficult for everyone, but everyone behaved quite restrained, and even Xiao Zhuang didn't act impulsively.

Having been tricked so many times, we can't possibly fall into the same trap again. Those who don't improve have been eliminated.

Actually, this time the high school team is taking the blame for Captain He. The specific start time of the assessment depends on when Captain He has time.

Since he mentioned this matter to the captain that day, he had submitted his report but had not received any notification from the captain. Captain Gao said that he could only wait and there was nothing he could do.

"Any other questions? I'm in a good mood right now."

Seeing that no one spoke, the high school team leader asked.

His response was silence from Chang Ning and Group B.

"It seems there are no problems. Then send your representatives up to draw lots. The team with the higher number is the blue team."

In such situations, the team captain usually goes up to draw lots on behalf of everyone. So Geng Jihui stepped forward and came to the high school team, randomly drawing a card from a newly opened deck of cards.

Next up was the high school team, after which the two players revealed the cards they had drawn.
