Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

Bang—bang—bang bang bang—!

As soon as he landed, Liu Yan skillfully began to give the secret signal.

Longbow Valley is too large; it would be difficult to make sure all the soldiers could hear it.

Fortunately, the soldiers had helmets that enhanced their hearing, and Liu Yan stood in the middle of the Longbow Valley, which allowed most of the soldiers to hear him.

Soon, footsteps came from all directions.

Upon seeing that it was Liu Yan, the leading soldier extended his hand, signaling the soldiers behind him to lower their guns.

"It's the boss!"

Since the merger, more people have been using coded language in the operational areas.

Therefore, as soon as the code signal is heard, the soldiers will gather around, and if it is not Liu Yan, they will be shot dead on the spot.

Liu Yan looked in the direction of the figure and saw more than a dozen soldiers running quickly toward him.

Upon reaching Liu Yan, the soldiers all stood at attention, waiting for orders.

This left Liu Yan somewhat bewildered.

He still preferred the laid-back attitude of Asara's soldiers.

"1, 2, 3? Long time no see."

Liu Yan recognized the three soldiers at the front at a glance.

They were the first three soldiers I defeated during the elite sniper competition.

"The following ones are 2650, 2651, and 2652, right?"

"And 8765, 8766, 8767?"

"There are too many people now, it's hard to remember. Don't mind if I remember it wrong, you wouldn't be able to remember it either."

Liu Yan rubbed his temples.

But Liu Yan's seemingly casual greeting left all the soldiers stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Their numbers were obscured by their chest straps.

In other words, Liu Yan memorized each of their numbers purely from memory.

This is incredibly difficult. Even if there were only a hundred people, it wouldn't be hard to remember them by their numbers.

Moreover, after Liu Yan met them once, it's uncertain when he'll be able to see them again!

At that moment, the soldiers had only one thought in their minds.

I swear to follow Liu Yan to the death!

"8765, 8766, 8767, take off your gear and put on this."

Liu Yan took out three sets of level 5 equipment and three fully modified M14 marksman rifles from the powerful vacuum cleaner.

"All six sets have been sent out. Just wear five sets for now; they're much more durable than your four sets."

Three soldiers stepped forward, looked at the brand-new level 5 suit, and then at Liu Yan, who was smiling.

Even a two-meter-tall man couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat when facing such a leader.

"Yes!"

The three soldiers quickly removed their breastplates and four sets of head armor, and put on level 5 armor sets.

"1000 rounds of level 5 bullets, use them sparingly."

Liu Yan also distributed bullets to the three soldiers.

In fact, with the military information terminal, Liu Yan could have directly delivered equipment to the soldiers through the black hole.

But it's hard to be fair even with a small amount of water, let alone tens of thousands.

Liu Yan couldn't decide who to give it to first and who to give it to later.

They had no choice but to randomly select soldiers whose equipment had not yet been upgraded during each conquest.

"One tank, one infantry fighting vehicle. I'll teach you how to drive them in a bit. Then three men will go and bring back three brothers."

Liu Yan handed the tank model and infantry fighting vehicle model to Soldier No. 1.

"Yes!"

The three soldiers, who had just changed into their gear, rushed off into the distance.

In less than a minute, the three soldiers, shouting various threats, struggled to be carried back.

"Um, sissy!"

As usual, after the conquest, before the soldiers could even speak, three level 5 armor sets and fully modified guns were thrown in front of them.

"Take these five sets for now, and we'll gradually replace them with six sets when conditions allow."

The three soldiers exchanged a glance, all of them showing shock.

"Thank you, boss!"

The three were flattered and changed into their new gear.

The original level 1 helmet and level 2 armor were simply thrown aside by them.

What a piece of junk!

"The three of you should be... 45631, 45632, and 45633, right?"

The three were initially taken aback, then nodded.

"Yes!"

Looking at these soldiers, even Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Previously, the three of us—Chicken Brother, Zhao Chuang, and I—had been conquering soldiers in an assembly-line manner, which was much slower.

Since the advent of powerful vacuum cleaners, there's no need to worry about funding, and the number of soldiers has increased much faster.

If we completely disregard the soldiers' equipment, Liu Yan would enter, conquer three, die, and leave, repeating this process.

With the current number of soldiers, reaching 20 would not be difficult, and could even be more.

But that's not what Liu Yan wants.

If the soldiers were just like before, acting like machines, Liu Yan might have done that.

After all, quantitative change can also lead to qualitative change.

20 isn't enough, what about a million, or even ten million?

They're throwing water with a level one bomb, who would dare to take the hit?

The impact of bullets hitting armor alone, at this number, is enough to kill someone.

Not to mention getting a couple of scratches on your arms and legs.

Anyone who comes will be gone in seconds.

But after the soldiers were conquered, they all developed self-awareness.

That would mean something completely different.

They are not machines, nor are they minions, AI, or monsters in a game.

They are living, breathing people!

Originally, they might not even feel pain; they only knew how to chase people, curse, and shoot until they died.

But now that they have consciousness, they know pain and feel insecure because of their poor equipment.

Even if they still choose to die out of courage.

But that would be a failure of a leader to fulfill their responsibilities.

As the leader who gave them consciousness, Liu Yan could not possibly allow them to be used as cannon fodder with the worst equipment.

In Liu Yan's eyes, these soldiers were second only to Fuji and Zhao Chuang in importance.

"1, 2, 3, go back and teach them the tactical moves."

"Then, the weakest among you, come and learn from me how to drive tanks and infantry fighting vehicles."

"It's very simple, you'll learn it in no time."

The soldiers looked at each other, none of them willing to admit that they were the weakest.

They knew Liu Yan's purpose in doing this.

The weakest people have the highest probability of dying, so if they are put in charge of driving tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, casualties will be minimized.

The overall combat effectiveness can also be maximized.

But with the boss standing right in front of them, how could they possibly admit it?

"Hurry up, I don't have much time. If no one is willing to step forward, then 45631, 45632, and 45633 will drive the main battle tanks."

"Then give me three more who drive infantry fighting vehicles."

Hearing that Liu Yan didn't have much time left, the three soldiers lowered their heads in discouragement and reluctantly took a step forward.

Seeing the soldiers' reactions, Liu Yan felt speechless.

No, it's a tank! It's an infantry fighting vehicle!

Isn't this what should be expected, with everyone scrambling to open it?

Why is it that when I got here, it seemed like I had some terrible job?

Chapter 127 Portable Military Radar - Full View

After teaching several soldiers how to summon and drive tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, Liu Yan pulled out his gun and committed suicide in front of everyone's shocked gaze.

After coming out, Liu Yan looked around but didn't see Fuji and Zhao Chuang, but he wasn't surprised.

If I'm not around, Zhao Chuang will listen to Fudge, and given Fudge's cautious nature, he would never get into the secrets.

In normal maps, with superior equipment and Zhao Chuang, it's basically a one-way sweep.

Liu Yan continued to repeatedly enter the area to increase the number of soldiers.

Not long after he left, Zhao Chuang and Fuji appeared in the open space.

"This is so embarrassing..." Fudge lay on the ground, covering his face.

Even Zhao Chuang remained silent.

Fudge became increasingly angry and sat up.

"No, are these soldiers crazy?"

Just as Liu Yan had predicted, the two of them entered and pushed their way through.

However, they were chased and attacked by a group of soldiers, and the two of them immediately recognized them as Liu Yan's soldiers.

Those soldiers would be no match for Zhao Chuang if he were to unleash his full power.

But in his eyes, those were all Liu Yan's property, and he couldn't touch them.

Fudge naturally wouldn't kill those soldiers, and of course, he couldn't defeat them anyway.

When they were finally surrounded, Fudge, clinging to a sliver of hope, shouted to the soldiers:

"For Liu Yan!"

Just as Zhao Chuang was marveling at Fuji's quick thinking, the soldier decisively opened fire and killed both men simultaneously.

"Forget it, Brother Chicken. At least it shows that Brother Yan has almost filled up Longbow Valley as well," Zhao Chuang comforted him from the side.

Fudge let out a long sigh.

"I don't think I need to practice anymore. I estimate it won't be long before the third district becomes Liu Yan's backyard."

"I'll just follow him then. Anyway, in terms of seniority, he's practically my uncle. I'll just freeload off him; it won't be shameful."

Fuji was naturally pleased with the increase in Liu Yan's troop numbers.

However, if he wants to practice shooting in a regular area, he needs to report to Liu Yan first.
