Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

However, they were too naive and completely underestimated how unpredictable their captain was.

Two military SUVs, driven by Battalion Commander Wang, drove out of the military camp and drove up the winding mountain road, eventually stopping at a relatively flat open space at the top of the mountain, next to a crooked old pine tree.

The team members jumped out of the car, breathing in the fresh air at the top of the mountain and looking down at the magnificent scenery below, feeling relaxed and happy.

"This place has beautiful scenery!"

"Brother Fei, what's our training today? Mountain cross-country? Or wilderness survival?"

"No matter what, it's better than delivering packages!"

Just as everyone was relaxing and enjoying the scenery, guessing what the training would entail, Shen Junjie, with his sharp eyes, suddenly pointed down the mountain and asked in confusion.

"Hey? Look at those vehicles... they look like... ambulances?"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw three ambulances with prominent red crosses painted on them, driving up the mountain road they had just come up, and finally stopping next to their military vehicle.

The car door opened, and several doctors and nurses in white coats jumped out of the car nimbly. They even unloaded some stretchers and basic first aid equipment from the car and placed them on the open ground. Then... they just stood there, seemingly waiting for something.

An eerie silence instantly fell over the open space on the mountaintop.

Looking at the ambulances and medical personnel below the mountain, and then at Luo Fei standing expressionlessly on the edge of the cliff, the team members began to feel uneasy. An extremely ominous premonition, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around their hearts.

"Fei...Brother Fei..."

Wu Peixiong swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"What...what do these doctors and nurses do? Is our training...is it going to involve...jumping off a cliff?"

This guess sent a chill down the spines of all the team members! Jump off a cliff?!
This is crazy!
But someone immediately objected.

"No...no way? If someone jumped off a cliff, they should have parked the ambulance at the foot of the mountain to pick them up. Why would they park it here?"

This statement seemed to make some sense, but looking at the medical staff who were on high alert, and Luo Fei's inscrutable expression, the team members' unease did not lessen, but rather intensified.

What exactly will this final three days of field training be like?
Just as the team members were looking at the ambulances and medical staff below the mountain, their hearts filled with unease and all sorts of ominous speculations, Luo Fei calmly walked to the trunk of the military SUV.

"Whoosh—" He suddenly lifted the back cover and pulled out a large bundle of nylon rope that looked extremely sturdy and was as thick as a thumb!

Under the bewildered gazes of his teammates, Luo Fei began to act.

He took the rope, walked to each team member, and without saying a word, used a complicated but exceptionally strong knot to firmly tie their waists to the trunks of the crooked old pine trees next to them!
One by one, soon, the seven team members were like a string of sausages waiting to be dried, each secured to a tree, their movement restricted to a very small area with the rope as the radius.

"Brother Fei... what... what are you doing?"

"Tie us to a tree?"

"Captain, what exactly are you training us for?"

This situation... I'm a little scared..."

The team members were completely bewildered, unable to comprehend this move, and their unease grew stronger.

Luo Fei tied the last knot, clapped his hands, took a few steps back, and looked at the "bound" team members. A smile that could be described as "brilliant" finally appeared on his face, but in the eyes of the team members, this smile seemed incredibly devilish.

"Today's training subject is very simple, it's called - extreme evasion."

Luo Fei's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"The goal is to maximize your neural reaction speed and physical dodging ability!"

Perfect dodge? Dodge what?
The team members were even more confused. In this desolate wilderness, there were only trees and rocks. What was there to hide in?

The next second, Luo Fei answered their questions with his actions.

He pulled out a long bamboo pole from somewhere, his face bearing a mixture of mischievousness and seriousness. He carefully walked towards the thickest pine tree among the team members, then used the tip of the bamboo pole to poke a grayish-brown, basketball-sized object hidden in the dense canopy and bushes!
"Pfft!"

With a muffled thud, a huge hole was punctured in that massive, complex hornet's nest!

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Followed by.

“Buzz——!!!”

A terrifying buzzing sound, like a swarm of bombers taking off, suddenly erupted! Dozens, even hundreds, of enraged wasps, like a brownish-yellow storm of revenge, roared out of the broken hive!

They instantly locked onto the "intruders" who were tied up under the tree and unable to escape!
"Holy crap!! A wasp!!"

"It's a hornet's nest! Fei-ge, you poked a hornet's nest?!"

"Oh my god! Run!!"

"What are you running for! You're tied up! Untie the rope!"

The team members were instantly terrified, and their screams of terror echoed across the mountaintop!

They frantically tried to untie the knot around their waists, but the knot Luo Fei had tied was extremely tricky, and the more flustered they were, the less they could untie it!

In those few short seconds, the ferocious swarm of wasps had already swarmed over like raindrops!
"Ouch! That hurts!!"

"Help! I've been stung!"

"My face!!"

"Get away! Get out of here!"

The scene descended into complete chaos and panic! The team members were firmly tied to the tree, becoming fixed targets, and could only frantically and haphazardly wave their arms and twist their bodies, trying to drive away and avoid the wasps' attacks.

But the wasps were too numerous, too fast, and too aggressive, making their struggles seem futile.

The angry buzzing of wasps, the team members' shrill screams, and the muffled thuds of bodies hitting tree trunks intertwined to create a training scene as hellish as hell.

Luo Fei had retreated to a safe distance at some point, holding an electric megaphone in his hand, and calmly gave a reminder.

"Pay close attention to their flight paths! Anticipate! Anticipate, understand? Don't wave around like a headless fly! Dodge with minimal movement! Li Bin! Watch your left! Shen Junjie, bend over! Yes! That's it!"

He shouted a few words, then climbed into the military SUV and closed the windows tightly. Battalion Commander Wang and the paramedics had already cleverly retreated to the ambulance, watching this crazy scene through the windows with trepidation.

ten minutes!
For the team members under the tree, those ten minutes felt like an eternity!

When Luo Fei felt the time was right and signaled to the medical staff that they could come in, several doctors and nurses wearing thick protective suits dared to approach cautiously with stretchers and medicine boxes.

At this point, the team members were in a terrible state.

Almost everyone was stung more than ten times on their head, face, neck, and arms, and large and small red bumps quickly swelled up. Wu Peixiong, in particular, had his whole face swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes were reduced to slits. He was in so much pain that he grimaced and groaned.

They were quickly lifted into an ambulance, and doctors immediately gave them injections to relieve allergies and detoxify.

As the medication took effect, the intense pain and swelling subsided slightly, but the fear of being dominated by the swarm of bees and the burning stinging sensation still lingered.

More than an hour later, the swarm of wasps gradually calmed down, and most of them returned to their damaged nest.

Luo Fei then got out of the car and had the team members, whose spirits had slightly recovered but were still covered in red envelopes, stand in a row in front of the car.

Looking at the group of team members in such a "tragic" state, Luo Fei showed no sympathy. Instead, he took out a small notebook and began to count them one by one. "Chen Fan, stung 18 times."

Shen Junjie, 15th place.

Wu Peixiong, 25th place... Li Bin, um, 8th place, not bad.

He closed the notebook and glanced at everyone.

"You all felt it, right?"
This is what happens when you react slowly.

Why was Li Bin the least stung? Because in the last five minutes, he stopped flailing his arms wildly and started trying to observe the wasps' movements, using small head tilts and neck retractions to dodge them, which had an immediate effect!
Remember this feeling! In dire situations, panic is useless; only extreme calmness and rapid reaction can minimize your suffering!

The team members touched the bumps on their faces with lingering fear. Although they cursed Luo Fei a thousand times in their hearts, they had to admit that Li Bin's performance later on was indeed better than theirs.

"Alright, morning training is over. Time to rest! I've ordered takeout so everyone can replenish their energy."

Luo Fei announced.

Upon hearing about the break and takeout, the team members were almost moved to tears.

However, Luo Fei's next words plunged them into despair once again.

"We'll continue this afternoon."

"Again?!"

"Brother Fei! Spare us!"

"This training is insane! People will die!"

The team members wailed and strongly resisted.

Luo Fei picked at his ear and said nonchalantly.

"abnormal?
This is nothing. Haven't you guys read the comics? There's a Master Roshi in them who trains his apprentices by having them stir up hornet's nests—and the results are phenomenal! Art imitates life, you know? How will you know if the wisdom of our ancestors… oh no, I mean, comic artists is useful if you don't try it yourself?

His twisted logic silenced the team members, who all looked at him as if he were a monster.

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he went to relieve himself in the bushes nearby.

In the afternoon, despite the team members' reluctance, they were once again tied to the tree under Luo Fei's "tyranny".

Having learned their lesson from the morning's bloody experience, this time they forced themselves to calm down, tried hard to recall Li Bin's method, and desperately concentrated on observing the wasps' flight path, attempting to dodge them with the least possible movement.

The effect is remarkable.

When the afternoon training session ended and the results were tallied, the number of times the team members had been stung had decreased by one-third compared to the morning! Although new bumps appeared on their heads that had just begun to subside, the progress was undeniable.

By the afternoon of the third day, the training results were even more astonishing!

Of the seven team members, three managed to escape unscathed within ten minutes, thanks to their accurate predictions and agile evasion! The other four members were also stung in no more than five places each time!
When training ended, the four men looked at the few bee sting marks on their bodies and then at their three teammates who were completely unharmed, and they could hardly believe that they had done it!

"I...I actually dodged most of them?"

"When that wasp swooped over, I think... I instinctively dodged to the side?"

"That reaction... was way too fast!"

Looking at the expressions of surprise and excitement on his team members' faces, Luo Fei nodded in satisfaction.

"Can you feel it? Your reaction speed and body's evasive instincts are at least three or four times faster than they were a month ago!"

The month-long intensive training has finally come to an end.

On the last night of the training camp, Luo Fei gathered the team members together for a pep talk.

“You’ve suffered a lot this past month. You’ve carried cement, delivered packages, swatted flies, meditated, and even had your heads turned into pig heads from being stung by wasps.”

Luo Fei's gaze swept over every resolute and confident face.

"However, the strength of each of you has made a qualitative leap!"

You yourselves know this best!

"This year's Special Police World Championship, our goal is no longer to learn or to feel the atmosphere! We only have one goal—" Luo Fei's voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharp momentum.

"Go and crush them! Take back the dignity we lost last year, with interest!"

"Yes!!"

The team members roared in unison, their voices filled with unprecedented confidence and fighting spirit!

Luo Fei pressed his hand down, a sly smile appearing on his face.

"However, tomorrow is the end-of-month assessment. Listen up, all of you, hold back a bit during the assessment, just give it one-third, or at most half, of your strength."

Keep a low profile, understand? We'll save our true strength for the international stage, to give those who look down on us a big "surprise"!

"clear!!"

The team members understood immediately and responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

The next day, at the training base's assessment field.

The three teams assembled, and the atmosphere was serious.

The Snow Leopard Commando Unit served as examiners, and Commander Chen Weiguo also personally attended the event.

The assessment items comprehensively cover physical fitness, tactics, shooting, and other aspects.

The final results have been announced.

Hong Kong Island Flying Tigers, first in total points.

The Shanghai Special Police Team ranked second overall.

The Ganjiang Special Police Team ranked third overall.

This ranking was entirely within everyone's expectations.

After undergoing rigorous training by the Snow Leopard, the Flying Tigers and the Shanghai team have indeed seen a significant improvement in their strength.

The poor performance of the Ganjiang team, which was at the bottom of the pack, also reflected the impression that they had been "not doing their job properly" for the past month.

Flying Tigers captain Zeng Zhiqiang and Shanghai team captain Feng Ke looked at the rankings of the Ganjiang team and both showed expressions of "I knew it" and even a hint of contempt.

Only Ren Hailong and Qin Feipeng, who knew part of the inside story, felt something was amiss when they saw the calm, even somewhat bored, eyes of the Ganjiang team members.

The members of the Ganjiang team, looking at their third-place finish, were completely unfazed, and even felt a little like laughing.

They clearly felt the immense, forcibly suppressed power within them, and were filled with unprecedented anticipation and confidence for the upcoming international competition. (End of Chapter)
