Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"So you were bribed too? Those cat leaders on the island are really rich. I'm afraid only Ash isn't in the group chat among the three of us, right?" Ambriel handed Anso a chocolate bar and said calmly.

“Same here, but my employers aren’t the young lady of the Felin tribe, but that one from the Lupo tribe and the Knight Killer.” Anso revealed the smile of a traitor and shook hands with Ambil.

"Speaking of which, where did Ah Xiao go?"

"I'm not sure. After hearing about the bet, she ran outside. Maybe she was too nervous? After all, the people here are all her superiors."

……

In a corner outside the training ground, a Zalak girl dressed in a firefighter's uniform was speaking rapidly into her phone: "Miss Texas? I don't need to do anything here. The Doctor has decided to command the battle and has no time to attend to you. You can start planning now. Oh, and please deliver the nut tarts to my room. My room number is Landship XXX, Room XXX!"

"Don't worry, Penguin Logistics won't let you down. The croissant is already on its way. Let's move on to the next step!"

Chapter 74, Section 265: We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Soon, news that the special tactics team sent by Rhodes Island to demonstrate would be fighting against three elite officers from the Special Inspectorate spread throughout the entire Guard Bureau. Any officers or civilian staff who were not currently on duty happily came to the training ground to watch this battle with such a disparity in strength.

In the training room, Ah Xiao kept disassembling and assembling his fire extinguisher: "For safety's sake, let's double-check the equipment status. OK, check complete, everything is fine, everything is set to training mode... I'm so cool, I'm going to search for training potions and get out of here (secretly 'Stop! My face is going to get squashed!')"

"Ah Xiao, are you too nervous? Why are you talking so much?" It turned out that An Suo saw Ah Xiao's movements as if she were a squirrel hoarding pine cones and muttering to herself. She couldn't help but pinch her face and pull it outward. "It's just that the target has been replaced with a living person. It's not a big deal. If you keep doing this, it will affect the training of other police officers."

On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was in a state of utter panic.

The initial success in outmaneuvering the king killer was largely due to Qin Duanyu's well-planned strategy and the opponent's carelessness and lack of vigilance. After a period of escapism, An Suo and An Bier quickly came to terms with reality during their combat training.

Previously, in order to test their ability to deal with various emergencies, the special tactics team also conducted simulated battles with other teams. As a result, when the enemy was prepared, the various Rhodes Island action teams used extremely cruel methods.

"I'm sorry, it's true, I just can't stop talking when I'm nervous. Will the Doctor and everyone else hate me... Waaah..." Ash took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her lips still wouldn't stop moving.

"Relax, apart from Mr. Ferdinand, the other two don't seem like they can't be handled. There should still be... a chance, right?" Anso recalled the information about the three members of the inspection team and said somewhat uncertainly.

The most effective counter to them is undoubtedly the heavily armored operators with thick skin and strong impact resistance. They are truly impossible to defeat or push, just like a fox trying to eat a turtle, with no way to get a foothold.

"Come on, unless you replace Ash's fire extinguisher with Ifrit's flamethrower backpack, it's unlikely you'll have a chance." Ambriel seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

During a training session, some scoundrel did this, and as a result, Ash accidentally burned off Ace's beard, and Scout even took out a camera he had prepared beforehand to take a picture as a souvenir... Now that I think about it, even without the corresponding Originium Arts, that kind of power would be more than enough to deal with ordinary heavy armor units.

"Well, since we've already asked the Doctor for help, let him worry about it." An Su shrugged indifferently. She wasn't really that concerned about this confrontation anyway; it was just a task assigned by Lappland and the others.

“That’s right, just try to delay as much as possible.” Ambriel, who was also tasked with the mission of the wealthy woman Felin, nodded in agreement in a low voice.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat everyone to nut shortbread after this is over!" Ah Xiao, needless to say, was filled with energy at the thought of several boxes of limited-edition snacks in the room.

……

"Eve, can I borrow your flamethrower backpack? Yes, it's urgent at the Guard Bureau! After we're done, I'll take you to KFC, how about ten Happy Meals? I promise we'll collect all the toys in one go!"

"What? Last time it was stolen and almost caused a death. Not only did you get scolded by Himeru, but the flamethrower backpack is still in Saria's possession? Oh dear, that makes things a bit complicated."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's not a big deal. Who would dare to bully me in Longmen? You don't need to take action. I'll think of another way."

Qin Duanyu hung up the phone helplessly. It seemed that the plan to secretly change Ah Xiao's equipment was impossible. He could only start from other places to add some weight to the upcoming battle, but the price to pay for this would be quite heavy.

It's at least far more than ten Happy Meals.

He couldn't help but sigh and type something on his phone.

Something is better than nothing; even a small amount is still something, and you can never have too much secret stash of money.

"Doctor, you've decided to let your subordinates fight against Little Ma and the others? There's absolutely no chance of winning, is there? Why don't we just stick to the original plan and do a battle demonstration?" Chen and Hoshiguma walked over right after he sent the message, with the former asking somewhat doubtfully.

It wasn't that she was too arrogant. As the head of the inspection team, she knew her team members better than anyone. Especially after the equipment was upgraded, Joel and his team's combat power was greatly improved. To put it bluntly, in a head-on conflict, just one of them would be enough to take down Ansuo and his group.

However, letting Xiao Ma and the others go easy on her would really go against Chen's principles. Besides, the players on the field are all her capable assistants. If they really lose to An Suo and the others, she will inevitably be ridiculed by Cha Shao Mao.

"You've come at just the right time. I happen to have something to ask you." Qin Duanyu nodded and took Chen's hand. "Come with me to Xiao Ma's place to discuss the details of the upcoming sparring session."

"Okay!" At Hoshiguma's loud whistle, Chen's face flushed instantly, and he tentatively tried to break free a few times.

"You've worked hard. I'll treat you to milk tea later!" Qin Duanyu seemed oblivious to Hoshiguma's teasing expression, and instead gripped his hand even tighter.

Soon, they arrived at the lounge where the gay trio was.

"Here's the thing, I hope that An Suo and the others can enter the venue ten minutes in advance, partly to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and partly to set up some traps in advance to prepare," Qin Duanyu explained with a smile.

“Doctor, we may know each other well, but you can’t change the rules halfway through, can you?” Joel and Ferdinand didn’t care, but as a direct stakeholder, Machidir certainly didn’t want to agree to such a condition.

Although in terms of combat strength, it is indeed an adult fighting a child, it is understandable to provide some convenience to the other side. However, those who play tactics are all dirty-minded, especially a guy like the Doctor. Who knows what kind of wicked trap he might guide his sister to set up?

"What, as an elite member of the Guard Bureau, you have to be so petty about such a small thing? Does that mean you won't act on missions unless you're completely confident?" Chen frowned immediately and said coldly.

Qin Duanyu's proposed conditions were reasonable, after all, they were the weaker party, and it was justifiable for them to obtain some advantageous geographical conditions in advance. However, seeing that her subordinates were so disrespectful, she couldn't help but reprimand them a few times.

The moment she opened her mouth, Machidi immediately lost the desire to argue.

What's the point of even competing? The boss has already been won over by the other side's leader. Does that mean he'll be in trouble no matter who wins or loses? But the thought of losing would mean losing 100,000 Lungmen Dollars kept him energized.

Let's have a competition! Who's afraid of who!

Section 266, Chapter 75: After all, we're just a pharmaceutical company.

While Qin Duanyu and his men were setting up the venue, the trio of gay men were also making their own tense preparations.

To be precise, it was Machider who was preparing for battle, while Joel and Ferdinand were leaning against the wall, leisurely resting with their eyes closed.

"Brothers, stop daydreaming. If we lose this time, my wife will be gone too. You guys better give it your all later." Machidir finished carefully maintaining the gun, stood up and said seriously.

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer."

"Yes, got it."

Ferdinand and Joel seemed uninterested; clearly, bullying three little girls didn't interest them at all. Winning wasn't honorable, and losing would definitely get them a scolding from Chen, and they might even have to undergo extra grueling training.

No matter how you look at it, it's all Xiao Ma's fault!

"If we win, I'll treat you tonight at Juxialou!" Knowing his two companions' stubborn nature of not acting until they saw results, Machidir gritted his teeth and went all out, choosing the best hotel he could afford.

"Hey, we're good buddies, why bring up all this nonsense? I'll show you a flash shield stun later!"

"The other side will definitely witness what it means to have a glint of cold light appear first!"

The two men instantly sprang to their feet as if they'd drunk a Snickers bar, a sports drink, and a Red Bull, grabbing their weapons and howling with great gusto.

"Yes, do your best later. I'll show that good-for-nothing girl that a brother will always be a brother, and she can only be a sister!" Machidir was filled with heroic spirit and took the lead in heading towards the training ground.

“Joel, I suddenly feel guilty. Have we gone too far?” Ferdinand said to Joel in a low voice, after watching the energetic young horse leave. He touched his phone in his pocket.

"How much do you have left?" Joel asked through gritted teeth, a hint of struggle in his eyes.

“Oh, she dug out everything—the stuff behind the speakers, under the lampshades, and on top of the wardrobe. Why did she suddenly decide to clean that day? I’m the one who usually does it!” Ferdinand clutched his forehead in anguish, as if recalling something unpleasant.

“Ellie stole my golf club that day. I had two years’ worth of savings in that grip, so you know…” Joel wiped his wet eyes and chimed in.

“Alright, I’ve thought about it carefully. Xiao Ma never controls his spending, and he’ll probably spend this money in no time. As his best older brothers, we have a responsibility to help him keep some of the funds safe and pay him back when he really needs them,” Ferdinand said earnestly, understanding his meaning.

I'm sorry, Little Horse.

The doctor said that if we just let the water flow a little, each of us can get 10,000 Lungmen dollars.

The two humble, married men exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave a bitter smile.

……

The Guard Bureau's training grounds are certainly not as high-tech as Rhodes Island's land-based ships, nor can they simulate battlefields and enemies with Qin Duanyu's help. However, they have the advantage of being backed by the wealthy and powerful Lungmen, which covers a vast area and includes various terrain conditions.

The training ground for this confrontation was naturally an abandoned building area that was most suitable for An Suo and her team to perform.

“Same as always, I’ll find a high vantage point to provide fire support, you two continue searching forward.” Machidir gestured a few tactical hand signals to the two men, then skillfully climbed up a tall building.

Ferdinand and Joel also entered battle mode. Even if they really intended to throw the game, the opponent's strength had to be acceptable. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the teams in the first division to lose to wildcards twice in a row. They wouldn't even need Chen Sir's gentle and easygoing demeanor; they would be overwhelmed by their colleagues watching.

Boom!

Just as the two reached a fork in the road and were preparing to divide and surround their opponent according to their tactics, they heard a loud bang behind them. The high-rise building where Machidir was located was shrouded in smoke, and the rising smoke made it impossible to see what was going on inside.

"Little Horse, respond if you hear me!" Ferdinand asked anxiously, looking like he'd seen a ghost.

They've even used bombs, and you still expect us to back down?

"Cough cough cough, I accidentally activated a booby trap just now, but luckily I dodged it fast enough, I'm fine! Damn it, Doctor really doesn't show any mercy!" Fortunately, after a few seconds of silence, Machidir's voice finally came through the walkie-talkie, and he cursed in a low voice with lingering fear.

"Alright, let's change sniping positions and continue scouting forward." Joel gripped his halberd tightly and cautiously took a step forward, fearing that there might be something dangerous lurking in the streets.

On the other observation deck, the explosion also sparked discussion among the members of the Guard Bureau.

"It's just an anti-personnel mine, nothing to be surprised about." Qin Duanyu spread his hands and said to Hoshiguma and Chen, who were somewhat surprised. "The training model has a specially reduced explosive charge. Even if you are hit by it, you will only get some lime powder on your body."

"What about the power when it's fully loaded?" Hoshiguma patted the Hannya Shield in her hand and asked curiously.

“Unless you step right on a landmine, your leg is definitely gone. Otherwise, it'll just be a minor injury, and it won't be very effective against heavily armed enemies.” Qin Duanyu took out the information he had prepared beforehand and handed it to the leaders of the Guard Bureau who came to observe. “The price is very cheap, only 5000 Lungmen Dollars per mine. Production is limited, so buy as soon as possible.”

"Automatic camouflage that adapts to the environment? And it also has the ability to identify friend or foe? It is indeed a good auxiliary combat equipment, but I think it would be no problem to increase its explosive charge by 40%, and with the addition of some steel balls, its lethality would be even more astonishing, right?"

The head of the bomb disposal team who accompanied them was clearly knowledgeable about these products. He first nodded to his colleagues, indicating that they were valuable items and that they could apply for funding to purchase some to strengthen their combat capabilities. Then he raised his own questions.

"Of course, it's because of the developer, Ms. Snow Pheasant's, request. She didn't want this kind of thing to directly take other people's lives, so we set the specifications to what they are now." Qin Duanyu pointed to the signature area of ​​the document, where the little hen's name was clearly written.

Anyone who knows even slightly about the theft at the research institute can't help but feel a pang of heartache when Snow Pheasant is mentioned. Such a talented person was exploited by that stinky rat, only to be picked up by this doctor and given away to Rhodes Island for nothing.

"It takes five minutes to warm up? No wonder you asked to enter the battlefield early. But such excellent landmines, don't you really plan to increase their lethality a bit?" Chen asked with a frown. This was unlike the Qin Duanyu she knew.

To gain an advantage, he would stop at nothing, even verbally abusing enemy officers on the battlefield to drive them to madness. Would someone who prioritizes the safety of his subordinates to the greatest extent possible truly care about the lives of his enemies? Countless members of the Reunion Movement have died because of him, yet he has never uttered a word about valuing life.

"Well, after all, we're just a pharmaceutical company, not some arms dealer or death broker, so we agreed to Xuezhi's idea." Qin Duanyu shrugged and said righteously, "As people, we should be kinder, otherwise we'll only be swallowed up by war and become machines that only know how to kill."

Upon hearing this, Qin Duanyu's image immediately became much more impressive in everyone's eyes. Even Chen couldn't help but nod, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense. People shouldn't get lost in killing; otherwise, what's the difference between them and wild beasts?

Unfortunately, the feeling of being moved didn't last long, as it was ruined by his next words: "Besides, don't you think that having a bunch of people lying on the ground, missing limbs and screaming in agony, puts more psychological pressure and logistical burden on the enemy?"

Yes, it's the same PhD she knows.

I don't understand. What were LGD doing in these two games? I'm not watching the games tomorrow. I'll update more games to cheer everyone up.

Section 267, Chapter 76: Managing Mindset – We're the Professionals

The loud explosion could not escape the notice of the Rhodes Island Special Operations Team on the other side of the training field.
