Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 494 A Happy Ending

Xiao Fei left in a huff, filled with resentment, making the atmosphere at the scene very oppressive.

The shortlisted contestants showed absolutely no excitement!

Yan Poyue had already heard Qin Feng's words and knew that he had been eliminated, just like Xiao Fei, so he could only turn away sadly.

"Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"

But he had only turned around and taken two steps when he heard Captain Qin Feng shout to stop him from behind.

Yan Poyue didn't understand what Qin Feng meant, but his desire to join the Cheetah Commando made him stop and turn around again.

"I hope each of you remembers what I just said to Xiao Fei. Not only do you need to remember it, but you also need to keep the six words 'comrades-in-arms are more important than life' in your hearts, engraved in your bones, and never forget them even at the cost of your lives. Do you understand?"

Qin Feng didn't speak to Yan Poyue first, but instead swept his gaze over everyone present, solemnly admonishing them on what true comrades-in-arms are.

"clear!"

Everyone answered in unison without hesitation.

"Yan Poyue, come here." Qin Feng then turned around and beckoned to Yan Poyue.

Yan Poyue had no idea what Qin Feng was up to, so he could only approach Qin Feng step by step with seven parts doubt and three parts hope.

"You're pretty good, kid. You actually made it to the end. I'm really impressed."

Captain Qin Feng first praised, then stated: "However, before announcing the end of the competition, you and Xiao Fei perished together, and according to the rules, you have already been eliminated."

Even though we're still one spot short, if I recruit you, it would be breaking the rules, and the other eliminated contestants would be unhappy. It wouldn't be fair to them either.

Yan Poyue still couldn't understand Qin Feng's words.

If you can't recruit me, why did you keep me here?

With these questions shrouded in mystery, Yan Poyue didn't want to shamelessly ask for the reason anymore, and given his personality, he disdained to ask anyone for help.

He said decisively, "Next time I come, there will definitely be a spot for me in the Cheetah."

"Wow, that's quite ambitious."

Qin Feng laughed, then his expression turned serious as he said, "But there's no need to wait for next time. There's an opportunity right now. Do you want it?"

Yan Poyue came here to participate in the assault team selection with the expectations of the company commander and the regimental commander, and he was determined to do his best to fulfill his promise.

Since there is still a chance to turn things around, Yan Poyue naturally doesn't want to miss it.

So he nodded firmly!

Qin Feng turned to look at Lone Wolf, smiled with a certain expression on his face, and then looked back at Yan Poyue and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to recruit female soldiers this time. The assault team is full of men, so adding a female soldier wouldn't be appropriate."

But her military skills are undeniable, leaving me no reason to refuse, so…”

"Report!"

Lone Wolf interrupted Qin Feng, seemingly dissatisfied with his reluctance to accept her, and loudly corrected him, "I am a sniper."

The underlying meaning of Lone Wolf's words is that my identity is a sniper, and only secondarily a woman.

I fully meet all the rules for entering the Cheetah!

"I know."

Qin Feng turned back to look at Lone Wolf and said in a serious tone, "But you must understand that special forces are not facing ordinary enemies, nor are they any more brutal and tyrannical."

Combat missions will be more arduous, and it is very likely that they will have to penetrate deep behind enemy lines and fight thousands of miles away.

Therefore, he required every member to maintain optimal teamwork, and as a female soldier, you have a natural disadvantage in this regard.

The captain only mentioned the mission-related issues; there were still a lot of problems in daily life.

For example, just because there is one more female soldier, we need a separate toilet, a separate dormitory, a separate bathroom, and other facilities.

Compared to a group of men who can do whatever they want, having an extra female soldier would definitely make things more complicated.

"Report, I am the sniper."

Lone Wolf still uses the same old saying: use hints to give the most positive response.

"You mean you're a sniper and don't need a team?" Qin Feng, as expected of the captain, immediately grasped the key point and targeted him.

Guo Xiaoxiao did indeed have this idea; she arrogantly believed that one person was enough.

You won't have any trouble if you don't need other male soldiers.

So when confronted by Qin Feng, she didn't answer yes or no, but instead turned her head to the side, using tacit agreement as her response.

"Guo Xiaoxiao, I admit you are excellent, better than any sniper I have ever seen."

Qin Feng's expression became even more serious, and he changed his tone, saying, "But this cannot dispel my concerns about you. You cannot deny the fact that you are a woman."

In a large, all-male unit, you not only find it difficult to integrate, but you might even become a burden or a fatal weakness to the entire team.

Lone Wolf clearly disagreed with Qin Feng's words, glaring at him in silent protest.

Seeing that Lone Wolf was clearly defiant, Qin Feng decided to try a different strategy and asked Yan Poyue, "Let me ask you, what should I, as the captain, do if a lone sniper is captured on the battlefield?"

Should we simply abandon the mission, or lead our men to abandon our current task and embark on a perilous rescue operation?

"Report!"

Yan Poyue pondered for only a short while before replying in a loud voice, "You've already given the answer: comrades are more important than life itself."

This was indeed the most perfect answer, highlighting Yan Poyue's high intelligence.

And that was exactly the answer Qin Feng wanted!

He wanted to use Yan Poyue's answer to tell Lone Wolf that while her code name could be Lone Wolf, her actions absolutely could not be those of a Lone Wolf.

Special operations require a high degree of teamwork. A stubborn and aloof person who doesn't participate in teamwork will only do harm to the team.

No matter how capable he is!

The lone wolf seemed to have understood, but the defiant look in its wide, round eyes was instantly extinguished, as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

However, he still maintained that arrogant expression and didn't lower his guard.

"Correct answer."

Qin Feng patted Yan Poyue on the shoulder and warned him in a serious tone, "I know you're very smart and you learn what I say very quickly, but remember this, don't try to outsmart me in the future."

Qin Feng's words, though seemingly without substance, actually revealed his true thoughts.

At this moment, Qin Feng's heart leaned more towards Yan Poyue.

Everyone present sensed Qin Feng's attitude and vaguely guessed what he was going to do, so they all turned their attention to Yan Poyue and Lone Wolf.

Xiao Yunjie, in particular, who was Yan Poyue's best friend, had a strong sense of anticipation in his eyes.

"Enough with the chit-chat, there's only one spot. You two will have a match, and whoever wins comes with me." Qin Feng finished speaking and turned to walk aside.

"Make way, everyone make way, clear the middle." Lu Tu immediately gave the order.

As everyone stepped back to make way, a large area was cleared in the middle, with the main characters of the match, Guo Xiaoxiao and Yan Poyue, at the center.

"bring it on."

Guo Xiaoxiao took a step forward and waved from a distance of about two meters.

His expression was cold, but his fighting spirit was high.

Unexpectedly, Yan Poyue's next move shocked everyone.

Yan Poyue did not make any combat stance, but instead raised his right hand high and clearly said, "I forfeit the competition. She has already passed the selection and is qualified to join the Cheetah. She should not be treated differently because of her gender."

I have already been clearly eliminated, and I have no right to let others compete with me again.

Being eliminated is being eliminated. What I need to do is go back and train like crazy, then come back and fight my way into the commando team with my own merits.

I lost today, but I won't lose forever. I'll be back soon.

After confidently reciting his bold words, Yan Poyue didn't forget to encourage him: "Old Xiao, Zhou Zijian, you've entered Cheetah first. You'd better work hard in here, or I'll have to catch up with you from the outside."

"Yan Poyue, are you sure?" Qin Feng never expected Yan Poyue to give up, and his face fell.

"Sure."

Yan Poyue answered without hesitation for a second, his reply was so crisp and decisive.

"Don't you regret it?" Qin Feng asked again.

"No regrets." Yan Poyue remained as decisive as ever.

Seeing his good friend waste such a good opportunity, Xiao Yunjie was so anxious that his face turned red like a monkey, and he wished he could go up and cover Yan Poyue's mouth.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.

Seeing Yan Poyue's upright and honest character, everyone praised his integrity and their goodwill towards him soared.

But just when the situation seemed settled, Lü Tu suddenly stepped forward.

"Guo Xiaoxiao, your nickname is Lone Wolf. When you filled out the questionnaire, you wrote that you have no teammates and don't need teammates. Now, please answer me seriously again: Do you need teammates? Or rather, do you want teammates?"

The moment Lü Tu uttered those words, the atmosphere changed again, and anyone with eyes could see that.

"Qin Feng and Lü Tu are really good at playing a double act. Even I almost fell for their tricks. It turns out that they went through all this trouble and played so many tricks, all for Guo Xiaoxiao."

After watching this scene, Jackie Chan in the command center suddenly realized what was happening and laughed.

"On the other hand, if doing this can change her wrong views and get a top-notch sniper, then it would be a huge win," Cheng Cai said.

"What kind of riddle are you guys playing? I recognize every single word, but when you put them together, I just can't understand a word." Xu Sanduo scratched his head.

"Silly boy, you'll understand in a minute." Cheng Cai patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder with a smile.

Xu Sanduo was the only one who didn't understand, while Lone Wolf on the other side had already figured it out and realized the significance of what Lü Tu and Qin Feng had said earlier.

Lone Wolf is indeed a lone wolf. Since joining the army, he has never acknowledged anyone and has never felt the need for teammates.

Lu Tu's meaning was now quite clear; he had presented her with a difficult problem.

If Lone Wolf goes back on his word and realizes he needs a teammate, and coincidentally, Yan Poyue is also a sniper, they could form the perfect sniper partnership.

Then Captain Qin Feng could use legitimate reasoning to get Yan Poyue to stay and form a partnership with him.

If Lone Wolf continues to be stubborn and believes she doesn't need teammates, nothing will change for her; she can still enter the Cheetah rank.

However, Yan Poyue, who was able to enter the Cheetah team, would be eliminated because of a single sentence from her.

If Yan Poyue were to be eliminated and leave, Lone Wolf would definitely feel indebted to him, perhaps even with a sense of guilt he could never erase for the rest of his life.

Because Lone Wolf and Yan Poyue had fought before, if she hadn't used her mouth to bite people, she would have been eliminated by Yan Poyue back then.

That is to say...

Lone Wolf is unlikely to defeat Yan Poyue; Guo Xiaoxiao is the one who should be eliminated and leave.

However, Yan Poyue had very upright values ​​and did not want to influence Lone Wolf because of his own reasons, so he voluntarily gave up this great opportunity.

From any perspective, Lone Wolf owes Yan Poyue a favor.

The more arrogant a person is, the less they like to owe favors.

Guo Xiaoxiao is an arrogant and conceited person!

Faced with this dilemma, Guo Xiaoxiao's emotions began to churn intensely, and deciding what to do became her problem.

Lone Wolf just stared at Yan Poyue, and Yan Poyue calmly stared back at Lone Wolf.

Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other.

The onlookers also became extremely nervous, all their emotions affected by Guo Xiaoxiao's answer. Xiao Yunjie was so nervous that he dared not breathe.

Nearly half a minute had passed, which felt like half a year to Xiao Yunjie.

The lone wolf, who had been silent all along, finally uttered a single word—

"think!!"

With just that one simple word, the tense atmosphere in the room instantly transformed, filled with joy and happiness.

Qin Feng's lips curled up, revealing his current emotions.

Lu Tu smiled broadly, extremely satisfied with the result.

Needless to say, Xiao Yunjie and Zhou Zijian were filled with excitement as they looked at Yan Poyue. If the final outcome hadn't been announced yet, they would have rushed up to hug Yan Poyue and started celebrating.

However, Qin Feng and Lü Tu had both played the bad cop before, so it seemed a bit inappropriate for them to announce that Yan Poyue had been selected at this point, no matter how you looked at it.

And so.

The one playing the bad cop has entered the scene.

Calmness, who had been staying in the car the whole time, opened the door, jumped out, and ran to the middle of the car. She affectionately hugged Lone Wolf's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, it's all over. This was just a psychological test."

Xiaoxiao, Yan Poyue, you've both been selected and passed the psychological test.

Those two old guys are always like this, always showing up at the end to scare people. You two are the same; you get completely fooled by them.

After saying that, Leng Jing put her arm around Lone Wolf and walked away, saying as she went, "Come on, I'll take you back to eat something. You've been starving for days, don't let yourself get too hungry."

After Leng Jing stepped in and played the bad cop, the atmosphere in the entire venue completely relaxed.

Captain Qin Feng was no longer embarrassed and could easily walk out to Yan Poyue. He continued his calm words, saying, "This time we plan to recruit six, and you happen to be the last one."

Regardless, you're very lucky. Congratulations on joining Cheetah Mobile.

After speaking, he extended his right hand to express his attitude.

Yan Poyue didn't mince words at this point. If he had the opportunity to join Cheetah without compromising his principles, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Grasping Qin Feng's hand, he said firmly, "Although I'm the last to join, once I'm in Cheetah, I'll be the first."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Qin Feng smiled, turned around, and ordered, "Let's go, everyone get in the cars and head back to camp to prepare for dinner."

"That's great, Swallow."

After holding back for a long time, Xiao Yunjie could no longer contain himself and rushed over, excitedly picking up Yan Poyue and enjoying the joy brought by the reversal.

"Do a good job."

Before turning to leave and get into the car, Bai Long made a point of walking over and patting Yan Poyue on the shoulder.

"Um."

Yan Poyue nodded, showing Bai Long the utmost respect.
