Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 232 The Arrogant Ostrich

However, this simple tranquility did not last long before it was broken by a rustling sound that grew louder as it approached. Clearly, someone was getting closer to them, and judging from the noise, there were quite a few people there.

A conservative estimate is no fewer than 10 people.

The sky had completely darkened sometime during the night. If you stretched out your hand and didn't hold it in front of your eyes, you couldn't even see your fingers; you could only vaguely make out the entire palm.

"Xiwa, where is she?"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Judging from the deep voice, the person who came was clearly the second squad leader of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

Xiwa? Could it be Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang's comrade who was eliminated in the selection?
They were comrades-in-arms who had fought together, and Geng Jihui's mind raced with thoughts.

"The squad leader is just ahead..."

When Xiwa saw that almost everyone had arrived, she led them to the two Red Army soldiers.

At first, he didn't know that their opponents were from the Wolf Fang gang. When Xiwa saw that the people sitting on the ground were Geng Jihui and Ostrich, his expression was first one of surprise, then joy, and finally, as if he remembered something, he became worried again.

However, this series of changes in expression quickly subsided when the squad leader of the second squad walked up to him. After all, he was now a scout for the Blue Army, specifically responsible for capturing these Red Army special forces who had infiltrated.

"Wow, it's a big fish."

"What's wrong, Lieutenant? Aren't you going to get up and wait for us to help you?"

The second squad leader looked down at Geng Jihui, who was sitting on the ground, with a nonchalant air. As for Ostrich, he had already ignored him because of his low rank.

Upon hearing the second squad leader's words, Ostrich's eyes turned cold. When had he ever been treated like this?

Back in the Eagle Division, he was a squad leader, responsible for teaching new recruits how to parachute.

Those who can do this job are mostly the best in the division, and they are always greeted with smiles wherever they go.

He was usually the one giving orders, but today he was being mocked and ignored by the burly sergeant in front of him, which provoked his ostrich-like temper.

Moreover, he was already having a bad day, getting blown up by the Blue Army and feeling dizzy and disoriented. The second squad leader just happened to be in the line of fire.

"Ouch~"

Seeing the ostrich's displeasure, Geng Jihui immediately spoke before it could.

He was afraid that the ostrich would act impulsively and offend someone, and now their situation was: when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

What if they piss them off and get beaten up? Nobody will stand up for them on Blues' turf.

"Timberwolf, what happened to you? Where are you hurt?"

The ostrich, who was about to vent its anger, suddenly heard Geng Jihui's groans and assumed he had been injured in the explosion, so it forgot all about its anger.

The ostrich's large hands groped all over Geng Jihui's body, its face full of tension.

If it weren't for the fact that the ostrich was genuinely worried about him, Geng Jihui would have kicked this idiot who was groping him away long ago.

Of course, it wasn't just the ostriches who were nervous; the Blue Team members were even more nervous than the ostriches.

The second squad leader, in particular, had lost his previous carefree attitude; his face was now filled with panic.

Although Geng Jihui's incident has nothing to do with him, his earlier remarks could cause him a lot of trouble if they got out.

Seeing how worried everyone was about him, Geng Jihui was caught off guard by this scene.

"Relax, I'm fine, it's just that my legs are numb from sitting for too long."

As he spoke, he winked at the ostrich that was so close to him.

The ostrich, having received the signal, nodded slightly.

The fuses for the booby traps that Chang Ning had set up were still tied to their hands; a simple pull would eliminate these people.

However, in order to take as many people as possible with them, Geng Jihui and Ostrich had to trick the few Blue Army soldiers surrounding them into moving closer.

If they could trick that disliked sergeant into coming, that would be even better. The ostrich, quick-witted as ever, immediately began working in cahoots with Geng Jihui.

The teamwork between the two was honed through day-to-day training; Geng Jihui only needed to give him a glance to know what he should do.

Before Geng Jihui could speak, Ostrich hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.

The way the two of them supported each other actually looked quite convincing.

"Where are the rest of you?"

Seeing that there were only two people around, the second squad leader took two steps forward to approach and ask.

Do you think I'll tell you?

The ostrich looked at the second squad leader who had asked the question with disdain.

The second squad leader was quite vigilant; although he moved forward a little, he only took two steps.

The distance between the two sides was still far enough that they had not reached the range where the booby trap would be most lethal.

Don't be ungrateful!
You are now our prisoners, and as prisoners, you should act like prisoners.

I think you don't want me to personally teach you how to be prisoners.

The ostrich's words clearly angered the second squad leader, whose tone was stern and whose eyes seemed to burn with a flame.

If that flame could materialize, the ostrich and Geng Jihui would have been roasted to a crisp long ago.

As the culprit who angered the second squad leader, the ostrich might be burned to ashes.

Whether he would be burned to ashes or not, the ostrich wasn't a mind reader and naturally had no idea what the officer was thinking.

He had no idea what kind of dangerous situation he and Geng Jihui were in. Seeing that he had angered his officers, he felt that it was not enough and planned to add fuel to the fire.

There are many unwritten rules in the exercise, such as allowing the red and blue teams to exchange skills as long as no one is killed.

Of course, causing disability is not allowed; at most, it can only be a superficial injury.

It is evident how much they paid to cooperate with Chang Ning.

"you are wrong!"

The ostrich looked at the second squad leader with a mocking expression.

The second squad leader looked bewildered. What had he done wrong?
When the opposing Red Army told him he was wrong, the second squad leader subconsciously reviewed what he had just said.

No problem, these two are indeed his prisoners now.

"Based on the bombing density just now, and the function of the sensors on our bodies, the two of us are now eliminated, which means we are dead."

"They're not prisoners of your Blue Team."

After saying that, the ostrich arrogantly stuck out its tongue at the Blue Army in front of it and rolled its eyes as if it were dead.

This was the first time he had ever seen such an arrogant squad leader. He wouldn't allow anyone to be more arrogant than him in this forest full of his own men from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

"Awesome, that's arrogant enough!"

As he was speaking, the second squad leader was about to step forward and show the ostrich why the flowers were so red.

As they saw their target approaching, Ostrich and Geng Jihui exchanged glances out of the corner of their eyes, and saw a fleeting joy in each other's eyes.

If they could drag all ten or so people in front of them down with them, then all the effort Chang Ning and the other two had wasted would not have been in vain.

"Squad leader, watch out! These two are from Wolf Fang."

Xiwa couldn't see what the problem was, but that didn't stop him from reminding the class monitor.

As a comrade-in-arms who participated in the selection process back then, Xiwa was one of the few soldiers who persevered to the end before being eliminated.
