If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

When Su Chen's gaze swept over them, the Ninth Company soldiers, who had been charging forward with great momentum, all stopped in their tracks.

They instinctively gripped their guns tighter, but then found the action somewhat ridiculous. Guns? Would guns be effective against this humanoid monster? The dozens of guns, hundreds of bullets, and even a mortar shell they'd just fired at him felt like mere tickles.

The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Liang Sanxi took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice from trembling. He stepped forward, stopping a few steps away from Su Chen, and raised his hand in a somewhat awkward military salute. His arm had been injured in the previous battle, and even this simple movement aggravated the wound.

"Comrade, thank you for saving my life. I am Liang Sanxi, the company commander of the Ninth Company."

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of awe that even he himself was unaware of.

Su Chen returned a standard military salute: "6th Company, 524th Regiment, Su Chen."

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from behind Liang Sanxi, running up to Su Chen in a few quick steps, his face bearing a complex expression of having seen a ghost and won a five million lottery prize.

"Chen...Brother Chen? Is it really you?"

The newcomer was Lei Kaihua. His young face was still covered in gunpowder and dirt, but his eyes were wide open, staring intently at Su Chen, as if trying to see a flower bloom on his face.

"Brother Chen?"

Liang Sanxi, Jin Kailai, and the others were all taken aback.

Looking at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Su Chen felt the long-buried fragments of memories in his mind being stirred up.

Lei Kaihua, a writer from Little Beijing.

He remembered. In the original owner's memories, there was indeed such a person. The two of them grew up in the same military compound, except that Su Chen was a few years older than him. When they were children, Su Chen was the king of the kids in the compound with his fearless and ruthless spirit, and Lei Kaihua was his little follower who followed him around, calling him "Brother Chen" very smoothly.

Later, the two joined the army one after the other and were assigned to different units, and they never saw each other again.

I never expected that we would meet again here in this way.

"Little Beijing? What are you doing here?" Su Chen was also a little surprised, his expression softened a lot, and he reached out and punched him on the shoulder.

He didn't use his internal force in that punch, but Lei Kaihua was still knocked off balance and grimaced.

"Ouch! Brother Chen, take it easy!" Lei Kaihua rubbed his shoulder, but a bright smile appeared on his face. The fear of surviving the ordeal and the shock of seeing his idol were transformed into the joy of reunion in that familiar address. "How did I get here? I've been in the Ninth Company for a while! But you, Brother Chen, you... what kind of amazing skill did you learn? Just now, those... those bullets couldn't penetrate it, just like Superman in the movies!"

As he spoke, he gestured wildly, his face full of excitement and admiration.

His loud announcement immediately drew everyone's attention.

Yes, what exactly happened?

Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai exchanged a glance, both seeing the question in each other's eyes. They also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Su Chen would explain.

Seeing the look in everyone's eyes that seemed to say, "Hurry up and make this up, let's see how you continue," Su Chen sighed inwardly.

Here we go again, the familiar explanation segment.

He cleared his throat, his face taking on a deep, 45-degree angle as he gazed at the sky, his tone tinged with a sense of vicissitude and helplessness: "It's a long story. From a young age, I've had an inexplicable fascination with our country's traditional martial arts. I always felt that those skills—like flying over rooftops and being indestructible—were real. So, I searched through ancient books and visited famous mountains. Of course, most of it was fake. But I didn't give up. Day after day, year after year, I pondered and practiced..."

He paused here, his eyes becoming even more melancholy.

"Perhaps I am one of those martial arts prodigies, one in a million. In that critical moment when I was on the verge of life and death, my Ren and Du meridians suddenly opened up. And then, I broke through in the heat of battle."

He spread his hands, revealing an expression that said, "I'm helpless too; I can't control my talent."

"..."

The air fell into a deathly silence once again.

Wang Meng and Li Xiang silently turned their heads away, their shoulders shrugging as they struggled to suppress their laughter.

Chief of Staff Fang remained expressionless, clearly immune to this line of reasoning.

The members of the Ninth Company were all speechless, their expressions a mix of emotions.

Jin Kailai, being straightforward, couldn't help but retort, "Wait, bro... isn't your reason a bit... too hasty? The Ren and Du meridians? A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Why don't you just say you ascended to heaven in broad daylight?"

"Believe it or not," Su Chen shrugged. "The facts are right in front of you."

Jin Kailai was speechless.

Yes, the facts are right before our eyes. The scattered limbs and broken bodies, the bunker riddled with bullet holes, and the unmarked skin on Su Chen's body all silently proclaim an undeniable truth: this man is not human.

Liang Sanxi's lips twitched violently a few times. He felt that the worldview he had built up over the past thirty years was being repeatedly hammered by a sledgehammer and had been shattered into QR codes.

He let out a long sigh and decided to give up thinking about the problem.

"No matter what, you saved the lives of everyone in our Ninth Company." Liang Sanxi's expression turned serious. He solemnly said, "From now on, you, Su Chen, are the benefactor of our Ninth Company. If there's anything we brothers can do to help you, just say the word!"

"Yes! It's just a matter of a word!" The surviving soldiers of the Ninth Company echoed, their gazes towards Su Chen shifting from initial fear to heartfelt gratitude and trust.

On this battlefield of blood and fire, strength is the ultimate truth.

"We're all comrades, it's only right." Su Chen waved his hand, then asked, "Company Commander Liang, what is the mission of your Ninth Company? What are your plans for the future?"

Liang Sanxi's face darkened when the mission was mentioned.

"Our mission was to remove Hill 349, clearing the way for the main force. Now we've taken the hill, but we..." He glanced at the remaining thirty-odd soldiers around him, almost all of them wounded, and his tone turned bitter. "We're decimated, our ammunition is almost exhausted, and we've lost the ability to continue fighting."

Chief of Staff Fang then came over and chimed in, "Our squad is in a similar situation. Although our casualties are not high, we are deep behind enemy lines and supplies are difficult to obtain. I suggest that our two squads merge, with Comrade Su Chen taking unified command, and withdraw to the rear to rest and resupply ammunition and personnel before making further plans."

He said this without the slightest hesitation.

Having witnessed Su Chen's godlike combat prowess, he knew very well who the true core and soul of this hastily assembled team was. Rank and seniority were nothing but empty words in the face of absolute power.

Upon hearing this, Liang Sanxi nodded emphatically without any objection: "I agree! The rest of us brothers in the Ninth Company will all follow Comrade Su Chen's command!"

"Brother Chen, I'll listen to you!" Lei Kaihua said excitedly.

Looking at these resolute and determined veterans in front of him, Su Chen felt a surge of pride in his heart.

"Alright! Since everyone trusts me," he looked around at the crowd, his voice not loud but full of power, "let's first clean up the battlefield, collect usable ammunition and supplies, and treat the wounded. Then, we'll go home!"

"go home!"

Two simple words brought tears to the eyes of all the surviving soldiers.
