The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

The lighting in the ward was soft.

Ru Ge leaned against the headboard, her face still somewhat pale, but her eyes were much clearer.

Anna sat on a chair by the bed, peeling an apple gently.

The two had been talking for a long time.

A silent understanding flowed in the air, and when they occasionally looked at each other, there was a faint smile in their eyes.

"That guy..."

Ru Ge's voice still carried the weakness of being ill, yet it was gentle.

"Always pushing yourself too hard."

Anna handed over the peeled apple and smiled.

"But in his heart... he has a scale."

"Know what to do and what must be done."

Ru Ge took the apple, but didn't eat it; she just held it in her hand.

Sometimes I think...

"What would things be like now if he hadn't switched the babies back then?"

Anna also looked out the window, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

"His path has always been fraught with danger."

"That's also... the only path he has to take right now."

Both of them fell silent.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm dappled patterns on the pristine white sheets.

A profound, unspoken understanding flowed quietly in the air.

Perhaps, this is the most precious emotion—

You don't have to be with him all the time, but you know he's there.

You understand his persistence, and he understands your devotion.

One deep affection, three places of melancholy...

Xiaoya has left the hospital with Zeng Linglong and arrived at the secret base in the mountains.

Five hundred team members stood silently in neat square formations.

Everyone's eyes were like the sharp, determined edge of a tempered blade, burning with a scorching light.

They stared intently at the high platform in front of them.

His breathing was heavy, suppressing his excitement.

On the high platform.

Zeng Linglong stood in the center.

He was dressed in a black training uniform, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Behind them, Ye Feng, Xiao Ya, Tie Zhu, Jiang Tianhua... some members of the Dragon Return Squad lined up.

Next to him, General Liu arrived, dressed in military uniform with a solemn expression.

Zeng Linglong gently moved his shoulders.

The neck turned, making a slight "click" sound.

A body that has been sitting in a hospital ward for a long time needs to have its fighting memory reawakened.

His gaze swept across the audience.

Five hundred pairs of eyes were fixed on him without blinking.

There was admiration, awe, and an almost religious fervor in those eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Zeng Linglong's lips.

"good."

His voice came through the loudspeaker, calm and clear.

"His energy and spirit are much stronger than before."

Below the stage, everyone unconsciously puffed out their chests even higher.

"This special training—"

Zeng Linglong's voice suddenly turned cold.

"It will last for 5 days."

"I will carry it out personally."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the area like that of a hawk.

"Your individual combat skills..."

"I think we've reached a certain stage."

"It will take time to move on to the next stage of refinement."

"so--"

His tone became more forceful.

"This time, there are 500 of you—"

"Divide into two teams of 250 people each."

He turned to the side and pointed at Xiaoya.

"Under Instructor Number Three—"

"She trained 16 information soldiers—who were also divided into two groups."

"In coordination with intelligence, information, and electronic warfare—"

"To engage in...a real-world combat confrontation."

The audience was completely silent.

Only heavy breathing could be heard.

"I--"

Zeng Linglong pointed to himself.

"Lead a team."

"Instructor Number Two—"

He pointed at Ye Feng.

"Lead Team Two."

"The content of this special training is—"

With each word he spoke, the eyes of the team members below the stage lit up a little more.

"Squad Commander."

"Team collaboration".

"New type of electronic warfare cooperation".

"Environmental and Weather Applications —"

"Waiting for special operations skills."

"It will last for five days and five nights."

"You're carrying forty kilograms of weight—"

"We must face various environments and various special operations confrontations."

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

"under--"

"You have 5 minutes to prepare."

"5 minutes later—"

"Set off."

The moment the words fell—

"yes--!!!"

500 voices erupted like thunder!

The tremor caused the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees to shake violently!

Assistant instructors like Sirius charged out like cheetahs!

They pushed the equipment carts and quickly distributed the supplies.

Weighted vests, ammunition boxes, camouflage nets, electronic devices, emergency supplies...

The team members moved quickly and helped each other to secure the 40-kilogram weight firmly to their bodies.

Every movement carries the precision and efficiency found only on the battlefield.

On the high platform.

Zeng Linglong is also making preparations.

He picked up a specially made weighted vest—50 kilograms.

Put it on smoothly and fasten the straps.

The moment the vest pressed down on his shoulders, his muscles tensed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Then came tactical vests, rifles, pistols, ammunition, knives, communication equipment...

One piece of equipment after another was mounted in an orderly manner.

Finally, he picked up a tactical helmet and put it on his head.

Adjusting the buckle was a swift and efficient movement.

The team members, who were preparing in the audience, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of their eyes.

The head instructor... just got discharged from the hospital.

Just carry a load of 50 kilograms!

We also need to lead them through five days and five nights of intensive training!

A surge of scalding heat flowed from my heart to every part of my body!

worship.

Absolute worship.

A near-fanatical trust.

Burning in every pair of eyes!

"Ready?!"

Sirius's voice rang out.

The 500 team members have been divided into two formations.

Zeng Linglong stood to the left front.

Ye Feng stood to the right front.

The two exchanged a glance.

Ye Feng's eyes held solemnity, respect, and even the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

Zeng Linglong's eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

General Liu stood at the edge of the high platform, watching this scene, a gratified smile appearing on his aged face.

He understood—

On the surface, this special training is for the 500 people outside.

The real core...

It was those 16 information soldiers in the operations room.

Xiaoya has already trained them.

Networks, information, electronic warfare, intelligence gathering...

A comprehensive understanding.

In addition, this real special operations combat exercise—

In the near future, these will be 16 information special operations teams capable of operating independently!

Thinking of this, General Liu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

"Bang--!"

The starting pistol in Sirius's hand spewed out a burst of fire!

Gunshots ripped through the silence!

"Set off--!!!"

Zeng Linglong and Ye Feng roared almost simultaneously!

The next second—

Like arrows released from a bow, the two shot off in two different directions in the mountains and forests!

Behind them, 250 team members from each side followed closely like a tide!

The footsteps were heavy and thunderous!

Dust flying everywhere!
