Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 300 The Trip to Langde Village (10)

"Does Staff Officer Xia have any comments?"

Upon hearing Xia Lan speak, Geng Jihui knew what she was going to say, but he didn't expect her to be in such a hurry.

"Why can I participate in the battle even though there's no mission for me?" Xia Lan asked Geng Jihui.

"As an indispensable fighting force for us, how could I forget you, Staff Officer Xia?"
Even if you don't ask me, I will still tell you about your task.

Since you're in such a hurry, I'll just tell you about your task directly.

"I'm sure you heard what I just heard; the combat missions have been assigned. So, Staff Officer Xia, your task is to protect the villagers' safety."

Because of Chang Ning's previous reminder and his own observations over this period, Geng Jihui discovered that Xia Lan's personality did indeed have significant flaws.

How could he dare to put Xia Lan into the combat team?
If something goes wrong, it's a small matter if she gets hurt herself, but if she implicates the entire Group B, where will he go to seek justice?

Therefore, it is absolutely crucial to prevent Xia Lan from getting involved; the best arrangement is for her to honestly protect the villagers.

"Why won't you let me fight? Are you looking down on me just because I'm a woman?"

Xia Lan was immediately unhappy when she heard that her assigned task was to protect the villagers.

Seeing Xia Lan being picky, Geng Jihui didn't tolerate her: "Staff Officer Xia, protecting the villagers is also an important task. You're an officer, how can you have no sense of responsibility!"

This time, Geng Jihui decided not to tolerate Xia Lan anymore, so his tone was very harsh.

"Okay, I accept the mission."

Under pressure, Xia Lan finally accepted the task assigned to her by Geng Jihui.

"Wait a moment."

Just as she was about to leave, Geng Jihui called her back.

“You know the villagers, so get them out of the village as soon as possible.”

Since they are unwilling to leave, then evacuate them to the nearby mountains.

We explained to the villagers that we would help them rebuild better houses afterward.

"understood."

Xia Lan stormed off without looking back, clearly seething with anger.

Geng Jihui didn't care about this at all. Anyway, they weren't in the same unit, and they probably wouldn't see each other after this incident, so it didn't matter whether he offended them or not.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed without Xia Lan's presence.

Geng Jihui then asked his comrades, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

"I have a small suggestion."

Chang Ning raised his hand, and his index finger and thumb were pointing at Geng Jihui.

"Oh? Tell me."

Upon hearing this, Geng Jihui immediately showed an interested expression; he wanted to hear what profound insights Chang Ning had to offer.

"Timberwolves, your battle plan is fine, but there's one thing you forgot."

"what?"

"You forgot that we have the Wolf Fang Special Forces and the Southeast Military Region behind us."

Upon hearing this, Geng Jihui immediately understood Chang Ning's unspoken meaning: "I understand what you mean, but because this operation is still in its final stages, the troops cannot come up now."

"The troops can't come, but the weapons and equipment can."

Seeing that Geng Jihui still hadn't grasped the point, Chang Ning continued, "We don't have a numerical advantage if the troops can't get up here, but we do have an equipment advantage."

We can have the Army Aviation send weapons-laden helicopters; just one will be enough to give these criminals a run for their money.

"That's right, how come I didn't think of that?" the ostrich exclaimed excitedly, slapping the table.

This battle was a fight against overwhelming odds, and it was also a positional war, which they were not good at. To be honest, no one was confident.

They were even prepared to sacrifice themselves; if they were unlucky enough to be bitten by a stray bullet and die, so be it.

“Hehe~
How could an ostrich with its limited brain capacity possibly come up with such a line of thought?

The medic made no attempt to laugh at the ostrich.

The ostrich, though being laughed at, wasn't bothered. "Damn medic, I don't want to argue with you right now."

Chang Ning's words sparked a new line of thought: since there weren't enough people, they could make up for it with weapons.

This huge plot hole might be the director's way of showing the fighting prowess of Team B and the camaraderie among its members.

Now that Chang Ning has become such a major variable in Group B, how could he possibly let the plot head towards a complete wipeout?

They'll definitely take the easiest route.

Since the troops can't get up here, I'll use my superior weaponry to close the gap between us and the enemy, and even increase our chances of winning.

Once the mind was opened, everyone's brilliant ideas flowed out like water.

When Geng Jihui saw his comrades talking all at once about how they could bring in those powerful weapons, Ostrich even fantasized about having the "Dongfeng Express" come to their aid.

Leaving aside whether it's worthwhile to use "Dongfeng Express" to take down a criminal gang, just consider that once "Dongfeng" is used, the environment around Langde Village will have to change. What will the villagers who don't want to leave the village think?
With the "Dongfeng Express" already deployed, there's no chance for Team B to appear. In fact, it would alert the enemy and cause "Operation Jungle Wolf" to fail at the last minute.

Therefore, it's obvious even to a fool that the leader wouldn't approve such an outrageous application.

"Oh, I was just saying, can't I just vent?" the ostrich said cheekily.

The others remained silent, only exchanging glances that left the ostrich to interpret.

So, amidst everyone's disdainful looks, the ostrich obediently shut its mouth.

Finally, Qiangzi summarized everyone's ideas to make it easier to make their requests when contacting the Wolf Den.

On the paper filled with requests from Qiangzi, Chang Ning's idea was prominently placed first by Qiangzi, clearly stating: "Request Wolf Den to send a helicopter squadron to assist Group B in the battle."

As the saying goes, "Ask the sky, then bargain."

Group B's demand was exorbitant, making it easier for them to negotiate with the Wolf's Den. Sending a helicopter was their bottom line.

If more companies join on this basis, that's profitable. Wouldn't it be better to end the battle sooner?

After the battle plan was finalized, everyone relaxed.

Next, we just wait for those criminals to die, if Captain He approves their equipment request and it's airlifted over.

It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"Alright, the meeting is adjourned."

Qiangzi, go and forward our request to the Wolf Den. The rest of you, come with me to help Staff Officer Xia evacuate the villagers.

Everyone said in unison: "Yes."

After everyone left the meeting room and dispersed, Ostrich deliberately lagged behind his comrades by a few steps. He secretly smiled as he watched Qiangzi's departing figure.

"Medic, I have an upset stomach, I need to use the restroom first, I'll come find you later."

"understood."

The medic didn't suspect the ostrich because of its pained expression.

Who could possibly guess what the ostrich is thinking at a time like this?

After the medic said he knew, the ostrich pretended to go to the toilet but actually turned around and followed Qiangzi up the mountain.

Qiangzi, who was being followed, was completely unaware that someone was behind him. He arrived at the location where the radio station was located—a neatly prepared grassy area—with the compiled list of supplies and equipment application form.

Qiangzi had just put on his headphones to send a message when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Startled, he broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively grabbed the unfamiliar hand on his shoulder with his right hand and twisted it forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar scream came from beside my ear.

Looking back, I saw the ostrich crouching on the ground, clutching its right hand and grimacing in pain.

Seeing the ostrich's pitiful appearance, Qiangzi was speechless: "Seriously, couldn't you at least say hello? Don't you know that scaring people can be deadly?" "How was I supposed to know you'd react so strongly?"

Hiss~

A sharp, stabbing pain shot through his wrist, causing him to gasp for breath.

"Why are you coming up here instead of helping to evacuate the villagers?"

Qiangzi didn't want to waste time arguing with the ostrich; he had a long list of supplies and equipment waiting for him to send.

I'm so busy, I don't have time to chat idly with ostriches.

The ostrich, without batting an eye, lied, "Well, the Timberwolves are calling you."

"real or fake?"

Qiangzi was very suspicious of Tuoniao's motives. Was this kid trying to deceive him?

Despite Qiangzi's suspicious gaze, Ostrich continued to be stubborn: "After you left, the Timberwolves suddenly called me over and asked me to come find you, but they didn't say what it was about."

He's waiting for you at the foot of the mountain right now.

Seeing that the ostrich remained unfazed while speaking to him, Qiangzi, full of suspicion, went down the mountain to find Geng Jihui.

After watching Qiangzi leave, the ostrich finally revealed a sly smile.

After briefly operating the radio with his headset, he quietly slipped away with his gun before Qiangzi arrived.

"No one."

Qiangzi arrived at the radio station, completely bewildered. He had followed the ostrich's advice to the foot of the mountain but hadn't seen a single thing.

He searched for Geng Jihui's whereabouts, even looking around the foot of the mountain, but still found nothing.

Now he knew perfectly well that he had been tricked by the ostrich.

What an impudent fellow! What kind of joke is this?

Just as Qiangzi was furiously about to confront that scoundrel Ostrich, the other party had already slipped away.

"This debt cannot be left unresolved."

Qiangzi suppressed his anger and secretly made a mental note of the ostrich's mistake.

At night, the cool moonlight shines on the deserted Langde Village, as if draping it in a thin silver veil.

Langde Village, which used to be filled with the smoke of cooking fires, is now eerily quiet, with not a single light on in any of the houses.

An orange bonfire burned in the center of the village, amidst the faint sounds of conversation.

"Ostrich...canned food..."

"milk……"

"Leave some for me..."

Thanks to the efforts of Chang Ning and Xia Lan, all the villagers of Langde Village have been evacuated. Now, only Chang Ning and the others are sitting around the campfire in Langde Village.

The ostrich looked sadly at its empty backpack, which had originally contained plenty of strategic food.

Now it's all ended up in the hands and mouths of his good brother.

Most importantly, these animals didn't leave me a single bite; they had absolutely no sense of boundaries!
Chang Ning chewed on the compressed biscuit in his hand and looked at Qiangzi, asking, "Stop messing around, when are the supplies arriving?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth and rinsing his mouth with water, Qiangzi replied, "9:00 tonight."

Upon hearing Qiangzi's reply, Chang Ning rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his wristwatch, which showed the time as 8:00.

"The supplies will arrive in another hour, so everyone needs to eat quickly."

"The supplies landed quite far from the village, so we need to allow time for our journey," Chang Ning suggested.

"Chang Ning is right, we'll leave half an hour to continue our journey."

Are you all confident you can resolve your personal issues within thirty minutes?

After listening to Chang Ning's suggestion, Geng Jihui readily accepted it and set a time limit.

Everyone said there was no problem and sped up their pace.

About twenty minutes later, Chang Ning and the others had already shouldered their backpacks and slung their rifles over their shoulders, ready to take action.

They arrived at the agreed-upon drop-off point for the supplies in silence, at exactly 8:50 a.m.

"Everyone take a break, and wait for the supplies to be delivered in ten minutes," Geng Jihui said.

The sound of airplane propellers could be heard from the sky, growing louder as they approached.

"They've arrived. Get ready to receive the plane."

As soon as Geng Jihui finished speaking, Chang Ning dashed out.

This was agreed upon beforehand, with Chang Ning responsible for guiding the armed helicopter.

A beam of laser light emanates from the laser pointer in Chang Ning's hand, drawing a fixed pattern in the air. Once the pilot sees this pattern, they will drop supplies at the location where the laser light was emitted.

White parachutes carrying crates full of weapons and ammunition slowly landed, while the ostrich stared intently at the descending crates, muttering to itself.

If anyone were near him, they would hear him muttering, "Airborne chicken... airborne chicken... where is my strategic airborne chicken?"

"What, an airborne chicken? Is that on our supplies list?"

Xiao Zhuang overheard the ostrich's mutterings and asked curiously, "The supplies list was decided by everyone together, and I remember exactly what's on it. There are no strategic airborne aircraft."

"Yes, you've forgotten."

With its eyes fixed on the sky, searching for the parachuted chicken, the ostrich had no time to answer Xiao Zhuang's question, so it gave him a perfunctory reply.

Chang Ning, who was not far from them, could tell from the ostrich's absent-minded look as it stared at the sky that it was thinking about its parachute chicken.

However, he didn't intend to say it out loud. Besides, he could also get a share of the profits from the parachuted chicken.

The ostrich stared at the supply crates falling from the sky until a large iron cage appeared.

If you want to know what makes it different from other supply boxes, just look at the very obvious chicken feathers stuck to it, and you'll know what's inside. Not to mention, it's accompanied by the sound of chickens crowing as it falls.

"It's my strategically deployed chicken!"
Wolf Head is such a good friend, I love Wolf Head!

The ostrich was so happy that it was speechless with joy when the long-awaited parachute chicken finally appeared.

If he hadn't been mindful of the occasion, Chang Ning might have drooled over him on the spot.

The thought of having to eat a chicken leg because of an ostrich made Chang Ning suppress her urge to complain about the ostrich.

"What strategic airdrop chicken? I think Wolf Head has just airdropped a whole mess of chicken feathers for you!"

Xiao Zhuang was overjoyed to see chicken feathers flying everywhere.

"The wolf head is so thoughtful, it saves me the trouble of plucking its fur."

After saying that, the ostrich, carrying its gun, excitedly ran over to receive its parachuted chicken.

Geng Jihui was so angry at the sight of the ostrich's cheerful back that he couldn't help but laugh.

He really didn't expect the ostrich to pull such a stunt on him. How was he going to explain this to the captain when he got back?

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Seeing that Geng Jihui's expression was strange, Chang Ning guessed what he was thinking and went over to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Looking at it from another angle, it's still something to be happy about, since we can all have a chicken leg to eat because of the ostrich."

After all, if Captain He were to investigate further, the main responsibility would fall on the ostrich.

"That's true, we must have a good feast of ostrich's strategic air-dropped chicken later!" Geng Jihui said with a smile.

The ostrich, who was counting the parachuted chickens, felt a chill on his back and felt uncomfortable, but he didn't care because of the cage of chickens. He had no idea that his good brother was planning to eat his chickens.
