Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 243 The Second Squad Leader's Heart is Bitter
"Hey! Isn't this the second brother? Why is he tied up like this?"

The second squad leader, who was suffering terribly from being harassed by mosquitoes, had no time to care about being teased when he heard someone coming. All he wanted was for someone to come and free him.

The mosquitoes in the forest have such venomous mouths; one bite and you'll immediately get a welt that's incredibly itchy.

Tragically, he was tied up and unable to move, unable to scratch even if he wanted to. What difference was there between this and torture?
Now that someone has finally arrived, the second squad leader felt incredibly excited at this moment!
As long as those damn ropes binding him can be untied, he can tolerate anything, even the most outrageous teasing.

"Hey bro, which class are you in? I'll treat you to dinner after this is over!"

The second squad leader felt a sense of familiarity as he looked at the two indistinct faces of the Blue Army soldiers in front of him; he always felt that these two people looked familiar.

Thinking that he and the other person were both from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company and looked familiar, he didn't think too much about it and urged him to untie him quickly because he was itching all over.

Even in his current state, the second squad leader still managed to say some nice things to the two people in front of him. It seems that the person who can stand up to the new company commander must have some skills.

"You're asking about the two of us?"

Old Pao pointed to his face and looked at the second squad leader with a smile. It was obvious that the other party still hadn't recognized him and Xiao Zhuang, and was still looking forward to him untying the rope.

Seeing the strange expressions on Lao Pao's and Xiao Zhuang's faces, the second squad leader's heart skipped a beat. Could these two be from the Red Army?
The second squad leader, who found it increasingly reasonable, looked at Lao Pao and then at Xiao Zhuang standing to the side: "You haven't said which squad you're from yet. If you don't, I won't be able to ask you to treat me to a meal later."

The second squad leader, harboring a glimmer of hope, subtly inquired about the two men's backgrounds. Although he often bullied new recruits, he was generous and righteous, and most of the people in the company knew him well.

Once he knew the backgrounds of the two people in front of him, their identities would naturally be laid bare in his eyes.

"I'm in the same class."

The old man only mentioned his own background and didn't mention Xiao Zhuang.

Class 1?

The second squad leader pondered. He recognized the person in front of him, but he had never seen him in the first squad before.

Could it be one of this year's new recruits? But no new recruits were assigned to the first platoon this year, so what's with this damn sense of familiarity?

By the moonlight, the second squad leader strained to look up and carefully examine the familiar face before him.

Why does this face look a bit like a veteran actor?
Thinking of this, the second squad leader seemed to have flipped some kind of switch.

His eyes were full of happiness, but that happiness vanished in an instant, replaced by bitterness.

They thought it was their own people coming, but it turned out to be their own Wolf Fang gang.

These days, the old guard isn't one of their own from Night Tigers anymore. They've risen to the top and become like phoenixes, now they're Lu Te wearing a black beret.

Seeing the second brother's expression change back and forth in just a few seconds, Lao Pao knew that the other party had guessed his identity, even though he hadn't tried to hide it from the beginning.

"You guessed it? No wonder the second brother has become so slow-witted after a year. I almost told you the answer just now," the old man said with a wicked grin.

However, despite chatting, he did not help the second squad leader untie his restraints, and the second squad leader did not mention untying him after guessing that the visitor was an old hand.

"Is that Xiao Zhuang behind you?"

The second squad leader spoke with certainty. After all, Xiao Zhuang had spent some time in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, and the two squads' dormitories were right next to each other, so they saw each other every day.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the class monitor."

Xiao Zhuang stepped forward and greeted the second squad leader, but he wasn't very talkative and looked around warily.

He and Lao Pao are still surrounded by the Blue Army. Who knows when a group of Blue Army soldiers might suddenly appear nearby and shoot them both.

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang ignored him, the second squad leader was not angry.

This is easy to understand; just put yourself in their shoes. After all, they are still surrounded by the Blue Team, and their surroundings are full of danger.

If Xiao Zhuang doesn't act cautiously, the second squad leader might suspect that Xiao Zhuang has forgotten everything he learned in the company.

"Hey, what's going on between you and this young soldier next to you? Tell us."

The old man plopped down in front of the second squad leader and swatted away mosquitoes for him. The way he was so attentive gave Xiao Zhuang goosebumps.

In all the time I've known him, when have I ever seen Lao Pao fawn over someone? It's quite unusual to see him like this suddenly. If there hadn't been a shortage of water, Xiao Zhuang would have washed his eyes long ago.

At this moment, it wasn't just Xiao Zhuang who got goosebumps; in fact, all four people present felt uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.

"Stop disgusting me here! You old codger are not the kind of person who would bow down to someone!"

The second squad leader, probably unable to withstand the old gunman's attack any longer, rolled his eyes and rammed his head into the old gunman's chest, knocking him away.

He just wants the old guns to stay away from him.

"Then tell me quickly who did this to you guys," Old Pao said, sitting up from the ground.

We can worry about saving face later, but we can't delay finding our comrades.

Although they broke out separately, they still needed to gather information about their comrades, as it might come in handy later.

Moreover, he hadn't received any news from Group A, and now that he'd finally run into the unlucky second-in-command, he might be able to get some useful information out of him.

"I can't say it, or I'll become a traitor!"

The second squad leader shook his head vigorously, as if he didn't intend to tell the veteran about his ordeal.

Officially, not telling Lao Pao would only annoy these guys; privately, he was taken down by those Red Army soldiers in one go, how could he tell Lao Pao that? Doesn't he have any pride?

"How did you become a traitor? Look, this isn't important intelligence, and it doesn't involve the Blue Army's troop deployment."

The old man was like a seasoned salesman, trying to brainwash the second squad leader with reason and emotion.

That won't work either.

"Old Pao, don't waste your energy. We're on different sides now. Whatever you want, whether it's useful to me or not, I'll make sure you don't get it," the second squad leader said.

"Okay, second brother, you're good!"

You are this one!

This second brother was as stubborn as a turtle trying to eat a weight—he was determined, which made the old man so angry that he gave him a thumbs up.

If it weren't for the fact that we used to work together, would he be so easy to talk to? He'd be lucky if he didn't resort to violence.

"That's right, we're from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, we're tough!" The second squad leader raised his head, and his whole demeanor changed when he mentioned the words "Night Tiger".

But what he didn't see was that Lao Pao and Xiao Zhuang's faces were already darker than the bottom of a pot, as if they were all soldiers of the Night Tiger.

They were also soldiers from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, Miao Company!

What do you mean by bringing this up again and again? Are you mocking me?
"Second brother, it's just one question: will you speak or not?"

The old man was so angry with the second squad leader that his voice dropped several decibels.

Each word seemed to be forced out of the throat, full of power.

"It's over!"

This was the second squad leader's first thought after seeing the old gunman's change of expression.

"It seems like we've gone too far and angered someone."

This is the second idea.

As a seasoned veteran and shrewd squad leader, how could he not know the consequences of repeatedly mentioning his old unit in front of the two men?

He didn't expect the two to react so strongly. Could it be that besides being tied up by the Wolf Fang Men, he would also get beaten up tonight?

The second squad leader was really going all out to prevent the old guard from revealing any information.
