When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 38 I'm an observer, not a sniper!

After dinner, Du Hu handed out everyone's cell phones.

Xu Ge contacted Lao Wang from Northwest China on his phone and learned that the other party would be coming over later.

"Class monitor, all the other classes are going to have fun tonight, are we going to have one too?" Zhou Meng came back from outside, looking expectant.

Du Hu put down his book; he knew what Zhou Meng meant.

The holiday starts tomorrow, and there are no more class schedules starting tonight. As is customary, each class can arrange their own snack party or something.

The military vehicles were already in place outside the wall near the canteen.

"I have no objection. You can do it if you want. Go buy some food and drinks, and I'll sponsor 300 yuan!" Du Hu said with a smile.

"Let's do it!"

"Let's do it!"

Everyone got excited and immediately started splitting the cost, wanting Kaiyoumu to be in charge of purchasing the items.

Kaiyumu shook his head: "You guys go buy them yourselves. I'm going to buy my own things later, and I can't carry them all."

After obtaining Du Hu's permission, the new recruits immediately went out shopping.

Xu Ge called out to Kaiyoumu, who was also about to leave: "By the way, squad leader, when are you going to learn combat skills from the platoon leader?"

"Why do you ask?"

"The platoon leader said I should go with you."

Kaiyoumu and Du Hu were both taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xu Ge briefly recounted what Luo Shan had said on the playground that afternoon, and said, "The platoon leader meant that he could teach me how to use a claw knife."

"Great job, Xu Ge!"

Du Hu laughed, "The platoon leader is a renowned expert in our regiment. The fact that he's willing to teach you means you have potential!"

Kaiyoumu waved his hand: "Let's go then, come with me to buy some things, and then we'll go find the platoon leader when we get back."

"What are you buying?" Xu Ge didn't understand.

Li Dongshui, who had been listening from the side, couldn't stand it anymore: "It's a formal apprenticeship ceremony! They're willing to teach you, aren't you going to show any appreciation?"

Xu Ge hadn't really thought of that, and said uncertainly, "But he wouldn't take anything we offered him before!"

"How can that be the same?" Li Dongshui stood up. "Come on, I'll go with you. Do you have enough money? I'll lend it to you."

"You don't need to spend too much money, just buy a couple of packs of cigarettes as a token!" Du Hu reminded him, "If you buy something too expensive, the platoon leader won't accept it."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Seeing that the squad leader had said so, Xu Ge naturally had no more questions.

. . .

. . .

"Hey, your three VIP brothers are here again!" Old Wang from the Northwest greeted them from afar.

Li Dongshui stepped forward and said, "Hello, Uncle!"

Old Wang from the Northwest laughed: "Hahaha, great, great! I remembered it when I got back too. I even held you when you were little!"

"What's wrong, Lao Wang? You two know each other?"

A tall, thin young man with blue hair got out of the driver's seat, glanced at Xu Ge's right hand, and then asked curiously.

Xu Ge's attention immediately focused on the other person. He saw that the blue-haired man was dressed the same as last time, with a scarf around his neck and his hair covering his face, making it impossible to see his features.

Old Wang from the Northwest ignored Blue Hair and warmly entertained Kaiyoumu and his two companions.

When he learned that Li Dongshui had twisted his ankle and wanted to buy spray, he immediately took out three or four bottles of different brands for him to choose from, repeatedly emphasizing that they were free. He also gave a significant discount on the items that Kaiyoumu and Xu Ge bought.

Like Kaiyoumu, Xu Ge bought two packs of cigarettes and a case of drinks. As he was leaving, he remembered something and asked, "Old Wang, can you get a claw knife here?"

Before Old Wang could even speak, Blue Hair asked with some surprise, "What do you need that thing for?"

Xu Ge: "Buy it to learn."

Old Wang from Northwest China: "Learn? Who are you learning from?"

"Our platoon leader!" "What's the point of learning from your platoon leader? You'd be better off learning from me!"

Blue Hair reached behind his waist and found a black object in his hand, which was spinning around.

Xu Ge's gaze was immediately drawn to it. Only when the blue-haired man gripped the hilt did he realize that the other man was indeed holding a black claw knife, the blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

Xu Ge asked excitedly, "How much is this?"

"How much? Pshaw!"

The blue-haired man twirled his claws, saying, "Don't say I won't sell; even if I did, you couldn't afford it!"

"You've got quite the nerve. It's just a broken knife. Tell me how much it's worth?" Although it was the first time Li Dongshui had met Lan Mao, he was still very uncomfortable with the other man's attitude.

Blue Hair held out his hand and waved it: "Friendship price, fifty thousand."

Xu Ge laughed: "Anyway, the knife is yours, you can say it's worth a million."

"You idiot, you really don't know what's good for you! This was handcrafted by the master swordsmith of LZ County!"

Blue Hair casually tucked the claw knife back into his waistband, his nostrils flared, "I don't just take any job."

At this moment, Old Wang from the Northwest spoke up, looking at Xu Ge: "Who is your platoon leader?"

"Luoshan!"

"Okay, I'll get it set up for you later. What's the budget?"

Xu Ge thought for a moment: "I'm just using it for practice, is two thousand enough?"

Blue Hair scoffed from the side: "You can't buy military-grade gear for two thousand yuan, Egg. Seriously, you'd be better off learning from me than from your platoon leader."

"Our platoon leader is tall..."

Xu Ge initially wanted to retort after hearing the other person's words, but then he thought that this guy possessed master-level skills and might also be a claw knife expert, so he changed his tone.
"I'm inside and you're outside, so even if I wanted to learn, I couldn't."

"So what? You'll be training at the shooting range next month. It's a semi-open area, we can go in whenever we want..."

"Shut up!"

Northwest Old Wang glared at Blue Hair, then looked at Xu Ge and smiled, "Little brother, I'll think of a way to get the claw knife. I'll let you know when I get it."

"Thanks, Lao Wang. We'll be going now. We'll wait for your news."

"it is good!"

Once everyone was out of sight on this side of the wall, Blue Hair's expression immediately turned serious: "Boss, are you really going to get that kid a knife? He's still a new recruit; it wouldn't be good if something happened to him in there!"

"Just get one that isn't sharpened, anyway, Luo Shan is watching over it," Old Wang from the Northwest said casually.

"Luo Shan learned his claw knife from me. Well, he's even starting to take on apprentices now."

Blue Hair smiled. "But he has a good eye; the apprentice he found is quite interesting."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang from the Northwest turned his head and said, "You've been staring at that recruit's right hand ever since he arrived. Did you discover something?"

“When he walks, his right arm swings less than his left, and it looks very natural.” Blue Hair tilted his head. “Anyone who can come here must have no physical defects, so they must have undergone special military training.”

Northwest Old Wang frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. The political vetting of these new recruits is even stricter than the physical examination. I've observed him myself, and he looks like a student who just graduated."

"Hey, what are we guessing for? Next month, Old Man is going to the shooting range to be the chief shooting instructor for the new recruits. Why don't we just let him try it out and see?"

“Those two new recruits are currently chasing those poachers all over the plateau. Old Face has to go and keep an eye on things, so he can’t come. You can go then.”

"Depend on!"

Blue Hair immediately objected, "Boss, I'm the spotter, Old Face is the sniper, this job has no place for him..."

Snapped!
Suddenly, Old Wang from the Northwest struck with lightning speed, slapping Blue Hair on the head, sending up a cloud of dust.

"You've gone too far! I say one thing and you talk back three times. Who the hell do you think you are? You want to fight me one-on-one?"

"No, no, no, boss, I was wrong!" Blue Hair immediately became honest.

"You can try out that recruit yourself, and the one who called me uncle earlier, he's got sniper potential, keep an eye on him too."

"Yes!"
