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

Nanjing, Eastern Theater Command Headquarters.

Commander Chen Weiguo, who had just finished a large-scale island encirclement military exercise and had been busy for several days, was finally able to catch his breath.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, picked up his phone, and was immediately bombarded with push notifications about the SWAT competition.

When he saw that the Ganjiang team was currently ranked 12th, he had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he felt genuinely happy and gratified.

Luo Fei's performance far exceeded his expectations, and he actually led the team to victory in the first game! What made him even more gratified was that his son, Chen Fan, was one of the starting lineup and personally participated in and witnessed that miraculous comeback!

This made him more proud than any achievement he had made in the military.

On the other hand, his keen sense as a senior general allowed him to see through the trickery in the third match at a glance.

"The firearms have been tampered with..."

Chen Weiguo's eyes were icy cold, a surge of anger rising within him. The United States, in its quest for victory, had resorted to such unscrupulous means; their despicable actions were utterly outrageous!
This undoubtedly serves as a warning for potential real confrontations in the future—enemies will never talk to you about sportsmanship or fair play!
What worries him even more is that if all three teams from Great Xia are wiped out at this moment and blocked from the final fighting competition, the United States and Japan will inevitably use their media machinery to spread rumors, ridicule and attack them online, which will seriously damage national morale and national image.

This match has long transcended the realm of simple competition and evolved into a war without gunpowder between nations!
In his view, Luo Fei's pledge to be among the "top three" was virtually impossible to fulfill given the other party's underhanded tactics.

Moreover, the fact that they were behind was due to the other side cheating, so it's understandable.

With that in mind, Chen Weiguo no longer hesitated and dialed Luo Fei's number directly.

When the call connected, Chen Weiguo didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the point, his tone calm but with a hint of barely perceptible concern.

"Luo Fei, this is Chen Weiguo."

When Luo Fei heard that the leader had called him personally, he was both surprised and flattered.

"Hello, Chief!"

Chen Weiguo said.

"I understand the situation regarding the competition. You played very well in the first match, showcasing the might of our Great Xia military and police! What happened in the third match was not your responsibility; the methods used by certain countries were utterly despicable!"

He paused for a moment, then revealed the real purpose of his call.

"So, regarding that pledge you made earlier... I think that, given the current extremely unfair circumstances, the goal could be appropriately modified."

My demand is this: in this round, your Ganjiang team, no matter what, cannot lose to the US team or the Japanese team! We absolutely cannot allow them the opportunity to mock or slander our Great Xia! Understand?

In Chen Weiguo's view, this is already the lowest standard and the most pragmatic requirement.

However, after a brief silence, Luo Fei on the other end of the phone gave him an unexpected answer.

"Sir, thank you for your understanding and care."

Luo Fei's voice came through the microphone, calm yet carrying a resolute force.

"However, I cannot amend the pledge."

"what?"

Chen Weiguo was slightly taken aback.

Luo Fei continued.

"I knew they would resort to underhanded tactics."

For profit, what wouldn't they do? But that cannot be an excuse for our defeat. There is never absolute fairness on the battlefield! If the enemy tries to trip us up, we must find ways to overcome them, not make excuses for ourselves!

His tone gradually became more impassioned.

“Once a pledge is made, there’s no reason to back out! I, Luo Fei, guarantee you that I will return with a top-three finish! I will never let the US and those little devils ride roughshod over us! If I fail to do so… I’ll bring my head back to face you!”

Holding the phone, Chen Weiguo listened to Luo Fei's reckless yet courageous and responsible words. He was stunned at first, and then a complex smile with a hint of appreciation slowly appeared on his face.

"Good lad...you've got guts!"

He thought to himself that his original worries had been greatly alleviated by Luo Fei's bold words.

He suddenly felt that this young man might really be able to create a miracle again.

Chen's mother, who was also watching anxiously from the side, was first startled when she heard that Luo Fei would rather risk his life than lower his standards. Then she understood Luo Fei's determination, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei took a deep breath, putting all his distracting thoughts behind him, and led his team members to the competition venue with their heads held high.

Upon entering the venue, even Luo Fei, who was used to grand occasions, was slightly shocked by the scene before him.

There were even more people watching the game than yesterday! As far as the eye could see, it was almost a sea of ​​red! Countless compatriots from Great Xia waved the five-star red flag, and some even worked together to unfurl a giant national flag that was more than ten meters long! The shouts and cheers echoed like thunder throughout the stadium!
This year's Special Police Challenge has become a home turf for the Da Xia team thanks to their unexpected rise and the support of the large Chinese community!
This was something the organizers hadn't anticipated. The team they had originally invited to "make a cameo appearance" had unexpectedly brought in such incredible popularity and attention!

The 42 teams that advanced to the next round entered the arena one after another.

When the three teams from Da Xia appeared at the entrance, a deafening roar erupted from the stands!

"Daxia Team! Rise up!!"

"Go, Ganjiang Team!!"

"Flying Tigers! Shanghai Team! Let's fight!!"

The deafening roar almost blew the roof off the stadium, completely silencing the scattered cheers from other countries!
In the U.S. delegation area, Captain John looked at the blinding sea of ​​red and listened to the shouts that were driving him crazy. His face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, and he gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

“Fuck!
These people from Great Xia... they're so noisy!

Luo Fei's gaze was fixed on the towering Olympus Mons track in the center of the field.

Even after repeatedly studying the video, the visual impact of seeing it in person is still incredibly shocking!
The props in the video were already amazing enough, but the equipment used in the actual competition had been upgraded and reinforced in every aspect!
That "thousand-pound wall" looked more like an iron fortress. The two-ton "iron ball" was so dark and heavy that it was suffocating, and the nine-meter-high "cliff" stood there like an insurmountable chasm, exuding an aura that made people look up in awe!

The sheer spectacle of the scene thrilled the audience, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments.

"Holy shit!
"Is this something a human could do?"

"That's so insane!"
Is this really a SWAT team competition, or not a science fiction movie?

"Let's bet on whether Ganjiang can make it into the top eight. I'm betting against them..." "+1, I really want to support them, but reality is too harsh..."

An online poll showed that only 38% of netizens believed that the Ganjiang team could advance to the top eight, while the remaining 62% were pessimistic, believing that this would be the "final performance" for the Daxia team in this competition.

As for the Flying Tigers and the Shanghai team, most people consider them to be merely there to make up the numbers.

This pessimistic public opinion left the proud and arrogant Flying Tigers members feeling extremely disappointed and frustrated.

Seeing the team's somewhat low morale, team leader Zeng Zhiqiang clapped his hands forcefully and roared.

"Cheer up, everyone! Don't let our mainland brothers look down on us Hong Kong Islanders!"

His gaze swept over each team member.

"Our Flying Tigers' physical fitness has been honed through countless trials! After learning about this event this year, we secretly trained for two months! Today, we not only have to be in the top ten, we must squeeze into the top eight! Do you hear me?!"

"I heard that!!"

The Flying Tigers, their eyes red, roared in defiance.

They want to prove themselves with their abilities!

The lottery ceremony took place in a tense atmosphere.

When the results were announced, the audience at the scene and those watching on screen gasped in surprise, followed by an even more heated discussion!

In this round, the 42 teams were divided into 21 groups. To save time and increase the entertainment value of the competition, two teams will attempt the challenge simultaneously in each round, and the final ranking will be based on their respective times.

The divination, like an invisible hand, cleverly arranged for arch-enemies to be together.

The Ganjiang Special Police Team was assigned to the last group, and their opponents were the Los Angeles County Special Police Team from the United States!
The Shanghai Special Police Team and the Japanese DSB Special Police Team met head-on!
Although it wasn't a direct elimination match in the strictest sense, the fact that the two teams from Da Xia were facing their two biggest opponents instantly ignited the powder keg in everyone's hearts! The online live stream chat exploded!

"Holy shit!
This lot was drawn! Absolutely incredible!

"Kill those lowly folks! Crush those Americans!"

"Exciting! So exciting!"
This is exactly what I wanted to see!

"But... our team members are much smaller than the opponents..."

"Yeah, look at those guys on the US team, they're like bears! And that Mizutani Jun from Japan is terrifyingly strong too!"

Along with the excitement, a deep sense of worry also emerged.

Both the Ganjiang team and the Shanghai team have a visible gap in average weight and absolute strength compared to their opponents. The combined weight of the two teams' players is probably more than 100 pounds lighter than their opponents!
In a pure power arena like Titan Games, this is almost a fatal disadvantage!
Under the spotlight of countless eyes, the first match began!
Shanghai Special Police Team VS Japan's DSB Special Police Team!
The five members of the two teams stood like gladiators about to go into battle before the starting point of the majestic Olympus Mons racecourse—before that huge steel gate that symbolized the first challenge.

Their positioning clearly shows that both teams adopted similar tactics, which are considered by most teams to be the most scientific and reasonable.

The five team members, based on their individual strengths, are responsible for one or two of the eight checkpoints, striving to optimize the distribution of the team's strength and endurance.

Only the Ganjiang team, with Luo Fei's crazy tactic of "one man taking on four passes", seemed so out of place.

"On your marks—get set—!"

The starting signal sounds!

The first player sent by the Shanghai team was the most robust young man on the team, while the Japanese team sent Kudo Shin, who was of similar build.

Like enraged bulls, the two roared and sprinted at top speed, crashing into the three-ton "thousand-pound wall" with extra reinforcement at the bottom!
"Boom!!"

The dull, deafening roar was like the beating of war drums!
The steel gate remained completely still!
"Come again!!"

The two quickly retreated, accelerated again, and collided violently a second time!
"Boom!!"

The door emitted a tooth-grinding metallic groan, wobbled slightly, but remained standing!
"Go! Knock it down!!"

The audience at the venue shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices almost breaking through the stadium!

The third impact!
"Boom——!!!"

With an even louder roar, the seemingly unshakeable steel gate finally succumbed to the pressure and collapsed backward, kicking up a cloud of dust!
The burly young man from the Shanghai team and Shin Kudo completed the first challenge almost simultaneously. Both were panting heavily and flushed from the violent impact. Without pausing, they quickly high-fived their teammates for the next challenge!

The second challenge: Push the box up the mountain!

The huge metal box, weighing 500 pounds, needs to be pushed to the top along a 45-degree inclined track!
This round is also much more difficult than the original program.

The Shanghai team sent Wu Qingshan, known for his endurance, while the Japanese team sent a corresponding player.

The two rushed to the huge metal box and immediately braced themselves with their shoulders, their legs rooted to the ground, and used all their strength to push upwards!
"Hoo!!"

Wu Qingshan's forehead veins bulged, his arm muscles bulged like writhing dragons, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably from the extreme force he was exerting!
The heavy box could only be pushed about ten centimeters at a time, and there was a blockage point every ten centimeters on the track. You had to push it to the next blockage point in one go, otherwise the box would slide back to the original point instantly due to gravity!

"Qingshan! Hold on! Push it up!!"

"Go, Da Xia team!!"

The shouts from the stands were like an invisible force flowing into Wu Qingshan's body. He gritted his teeth, let out a roar like a trapped beast, and once again unleashed his strength, pushing the box upwards by another twenty centimeters!

The members of the Sakura Country team next to them also had fierce expressions, unwilling to be outdone.

The two were almost neck and neck, with only a palm's length of space between their boxes and the top of the track!
This is a battle of willpower and physical strength to the extreme!

"what--!!"

Wu Qingshan's eyes were bloodshot. He used the last bit of air in his lungs and let out a resolute roar. At this moment, the strength of his waist, abdomen and legs twisted into a rope and he thrust forward!
"Click!"

With a crisp click, the 500-pound metal box was finally pushed to the top of the track!

Almost the instant he succeeded, the Japanese team members also completed their mission.

The two were almost exhausted, but the team members in the third stage had already rushed out like cheetahs!
The third challenge: Climb the roller!
You need to climb up a set of five giant, smooth-surfaced, freely rotating rollers that are installed side by side!

The difficulty of this level has also been increased, as the rollers are smoother than in the show!

The Shanghai team member in charge of this challenge was incredibly agile. He seized the opportunity during the first roller's rotation, leaped up, and grabbed it tightly with both hands! (End of Chapter)
