Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 164 Choosing a Weapon

Not only the ostrich couldn't resist its curiosity, but even Chang Ning, who always prided himself on being a steady person, squeezed together with everyone else, burying his head in the white paper in Geng Jihui's hand, wanting to see what the senior team leader was up to.

The notice clearly stated the start time of the training and the initial tasks for the Blue Team. Their ultimate task was to eliminate the Red Team or withstand the Red Team's attack for half an hour.

The outline states that they are the Blue Team, simulating a foreign army, and their initial mission is to take a hostage from a group of people.

Specific details, such as the identities of the hostages they abducted and the locations, were not provided.

"I thought they were going to tell us something, but they didn't tell us anything. They've covered it up way too well."

After reading the contents of the paper, the ostrich was immediately disappointed and muttered something under its breath.

"Actually, it's not bad. At least it tells us when the confrontation will begin and what the preliminary work is."

Xiao Zhuang didn't seem worried at all, his eyes darting back and forth between Geng Jihui and Chang Ning a few times.

In his view, if the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to hold it up; he was just a small-time assault soldier.

With two top players like Chang Ning and Geng Jihui on the team, what's there to be afraid of!

"It's alright. After all, this combat training is designed to test us, so we can't reveal all the information to us."

This is the most normal situation.

Chang Ning said that, just as he himself said, there was nothing to complain about. The most important thing now was to discuss the allocation of firepower.

"Indeed, as Chang Ning said, the issue now is not how much intelligence the high school team has revealed to us."

Geng Jihui, who was standing next to Chang Ning, strongly agreed with Chang Ning's statement.

"Hehe, I told you ostriches have small brains, but they just don't believe me."

Noticing the slightly awkward atmosphere around them, the medic chuckled and joked about the ostrich.

"You damn medic, you can't stand not making fun of me, can you?"

The ostrich was also a clever creature, and it cooperated with the medic by pretending to be about to fight.

The scene gradually turned into chaos.

Everyone was happy to play around together, and as long as the leader wasn't around and the disciplinary officers didn't see them, nothing would happen.

Besides, they are warriors, not killing machines. If all the combat personnel of Wolf Fang were to act like they were unapproachable, wouldn't that be suffocating?

Living and training in this environment would drive anyone crazy in no time.

Let alone someone who lives in this environment year-round, no one could stand it.

The awkward atmosphere dissipated completely after the medic's interruption.

"Alright, stop fooling around, we still have important business to attend to."

The red-blue scrimmage starts tomorrow. Recently, I've heard Ma Da and Gao Zhong say, both openly and secretly, that this red-blue scrimmage training for the Lone Wolf team seems to have a significant impact on the Wolf Fang team's future. This has put immense pressure on Geng Jihui.

"Don't worry, no matter what the outcome is tomorrow, just show us our strength."

"The future of Wolf Fang is none of your business, a mere team leader."

Seeing that Geng Jihui was in a bad mood, Chang Ning quickly figured out what he was thinking.

It's not that Chang Ning is so amazing; as long as two people are familiar with each other enough, it's not difficult for them to guess each other's thoughts.

"I see."

His comrade-in-arms saw through his thoughts, and since Geng Jihui was not good at sharing, he didn't want Chang Ning to worry about him, so he gave Chang Ning a somewhat forced smile.

Faced with immense pressure, the fact that he could smile so brightly and sincerely at such a time clearly shows how difficult it was for him.

Got it!
Chang Ning knew he had wasted his breath when he saw Geng Jihui's expression; the guy was under immense pressure.

Upon hearing the team leader's call, the ostrich and the medic, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, immediately gathered around.

The seven people sat in a circle on the grass.

Tell me what weapons and equipment you need, so I can report it to higher authorities.

"If we're late, and the weapons and equipment don't meet the requirements of this combat training, then the Wolf Fang team will lose face in front of the commander because of this delay, and that would be a big problem."

Geng Jihui's expression was serious; he wanted everyone to realize the seriousness of this incident.

Captain Gao had mentioned beforehand that the Blue Team was using foreign military weapons and equipment. However, the foreign military had many good weapons, which made Chang Ning and the members of Group B dizzy with choices, and they still hadn't decided on their weapons.

They never imagined they would one day be troubled by having too many good weapons. In all their years in the military, this was the first time they had fought a battle with such abundant resources.

"Chang Ning, you speak first."

After waiting for a long time without anyone speaking, Geng Jihui had no choice but to grab Chang Ning's bag.

"Little Geng, there are so many good weapons I don't know which one to choose. How about we go to the armory tomorrow and choose one then?"

Chang Ning tentatively said.

"You're dreaming! Clean and tidy!"

Geng Jihui couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chang Ning. This guy really dared to think that way. The high school team hadn't said they were allowed to freely choose from the armory.

Without Captain He's permission, even Captain Gao himself couldn't enter the heavily guarded arms depot.

"Then HK416."

After much deliberation, Chang Ning still chose this world-famous gun, since it's 06 now.

He wanted to choose the SCAR, either the light or heavy version, as it could be modified into a sniper rifle, which perfectly matched his shooting skills.

Unfortunately, SCAR only started small-batch production in July 2007, so he can't get his hands on one now.

Putting aside the performance of the SCAR and HK416, their slender gun designs immediately appealed to Chang Ning's aesthetic sense.

Chang Ning has a systematic shooting proficiency, which allows him to maintain sufficient lethality within the effective range of any gun. Therefore, Chang Ning also values ​​the appearance of guns.

Moreover, all those world-famous guns are incredibly handsome; they're all very good-looking.

After recording Chang Ning's needs, Geng Jihui looked at the others. Everyone had a variety of requests, but their choices were all similar.

Changning, Xiaozhuang, and Qiangzi all chose the HK416, while Laopao, as a demolition expert and firepower specialist, chose the Russian PKS.

This gun is similar to our army's Type 80 machine gun, and he finds it easy to use.

The medic's choice left everyone puzzled; he chose the AK-74.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the medic chuckled and said, "As you all know, my grandfather is the director of the Air Force General Hospital, so he often saw guns when he was a child."

Especially the 81-bar line, I'm all too familiar with it.

Hearing this, everyone understood what was going on; it was the same situation as Lao Pao's.

Considering that the medic was an ostrich's spotter, Chang Ning still suggested, "Think about it again, and choose a sniper rifle."

"The training syllabus that the high school team gave us clearly states that we only need one sniper, Ostrich, for this competition."

"Splitting me out will add another firing point, which will increase our chances of winning."

The medic rejected Chang Ning's suggestion.

Seeing that the medic had already made up his mind, Chang Ning stopped trying to persuade him.

When it was Ostrich's turn, he chose a TAC-50.

Chang Ning's face immediately darkened, and Geng Jihui punched him.

This guy didn't even look at the situation; he just chose TAC-50 without considering anything else.

This is a high-precision sniper rifle that uses a bolt-action mechanism, has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds, and weighs 11.8 kilograms.

Based on these data alone, it is not suitable for this combat training. The rate of fire is too slow, and it is also heavy.

If an ostrich carrying a TAC-50 were to encounter a high school team, they would be easy prey.

They are the real Blue Team, playing the role of foreign troops who have taken hostages. They have no initiative whatsoever; what's the difference between them and sitting ducks with these weapons?

How long can an ostrich run with this gun, given its stamina? How will it cope with Group A after it runs out of energy?

It's important to know that there were specific casualty limits for Group B in this combat training exercise.

Even if they wipe out Group A, they will still lose if they suffer more than half their casualties.

"Okay, okay, I'll change it!"

Since everyone disagreed, Ostrich had no choice but to reluctantly replace the TAC-50 with the M110.

With the main weapon sorted out, the remaining camouflage uniforms, body armor, helmets, pistols, and grenades don't need to be so strict; just go with everyone's preferences.
