Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 146 The Excited Ostrich

If it weren't for the fact that Chang Ning didn't have enough merit points, she would have bought several more bottles. You can never have too many life-saving items.

Looking at the "breath" lying in the system space, Chang Ning closed her eyes in peace and soon began to snore softly.

The next morning, Changning and the rest of Group B listened to the high school team leader's instructions as the sun shone brightly in the morning light.

"Commendation!"

Upon hearing this word, everyone's expressions brightened, and they immediately began to listen attentively.

They recently completed a mission, and the reward for the hostage rescue is probably out.

"For its outstanding performance in the hostage rescue mission, Lone Wolf Special Assault Team B is hereby awarded a collective third-class merit as encouragement!"

Southeast Military Region Headquarters, May 10, 2006.

After the high school team's commendation order was read out, everyone could no longer hold back and happily applauded and cheered for themselves. This was their first collective honor.

Chang Ning also clapped; he had contributed to this third-class merit award. Moreover, he was currently an unofficial member of Lone Wolf Group B, so he deserved a share of the honor.

Leaders now qualified to know about the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team know that this six-man tactical squad, Lone Wolf Group B, actually has seven members.

The high school team did not take the undisciplined behavior of Group B too seriously.

This kind of thing is usually only done by the disciplinary committee; in reality, the management isn't that strict behind the scenes.

As long as no fundamental mistakes are made, he will pretend not to see them.

"Alright, put everything away, or the police might see it."

The sound of a disciplinary officer startled everyone, and they quickly fell silent and lined up again. No one wanted to copy a thick book of disciplinary regulations.

"The morning training is over. Now everyone can go and relax. Geng Jihui, remember to put your mission reports on my desk later."

"Yes."

Geng Jihui responded loudly from the queue.

"By the way, Deng Zhenhua, you can stay here for a moment."

Everyone else, disband!

The crowd looked at the ostrich with pity, thinking that it must have done something bad again that the high school team had found out about.

The medic even shouted out, "Hey, Ostrich, did you make a mistake again?"

"How would I know? We just got back yesterday. I didn't have time to make a mistake."

The ostrich also began to wonder, and he carefully reviewed his behavior over the past twenty-four hours.

Aside from secretly calling Xia Lan when he returned to the base after the mission and stealing steamed buns from the canteen kitchen with Chang Ning late at night, he hadn't done anything out of line.

For something as trivial as this, the team leader wouldn't leave himself behind alone. Besides, there's Chang Ning's share too. Why should he bear it all by himself?

Ostrich nervously gave the high school team an awkward smile; anyone could tell he was feeling guilty.

The high school team leader smiled and said, "Relax, I'm not going to eat you."

Seeing the high school team leader smile at him, Ostrich felt even more uneasy. Everyone knew that it was better to face his stern face than a smiling one.

As we all know, a smile on a high school team's face doesn't necessarily mean they're in a good mood.

Seeing that his smile made the ostrich even more nervous, Gao Zhong was speechless, wondering if his smile was ugly and scary.

Otherwise, why would the ostrich look scared?

"Go to the sniper company right now and report to the assassin. Tell him I sent you."

"Yes."

Ostrich had originally planned to ask the high school team what exactly happened, but after observing their micro-expressions, he wisely chose to remain silent. Knowing the high school team as he did, he knew it was best not to say anything at this point.

"Do you think the ostrich was punished by the high school team for doing something secretly yesterday?"

Qiangzi watched the ostrich run away and analyzed it with a serious expression.

"What did the ostrich do yesterday? You mean the one who called Xia Lan?"

Xiao Zhuang asked.

Poor ostrich secretly went to call Xia Lan without telling anyone, thinking he had done it perfectly, unaware that his comrade on duty had spread the news about ostrich throughout the Wolf Fang organization.

"if not?"

Qiangzi countered, saying that he could only think of this one point after racking his brains.

"Impossible. The high school team isn't that free. They wouldn't go looking for trouble with the ostrich over something so trivial."

Chang Ning said with a confident look that if the high school team wanted to cause trouble, they should use the incident of him and the ostrich stealing steamed buns from the cafeteria in the middle of the night as a basis for their argument, which would at least be more convincing.

The high school team doesn't need to concern themselves with the mess between Ostrich and Xia Lan. Although Wolf Fang is a classified unit, it doesn't restrict the personal freedom of its members.

That's why Chang Ning was able to so confidently refute Qiangzi's guess.

On the other hand, if the ostrich was really punished for stealing the steamed bun, why was he spared? That doesn't make sense.

Chang Ning couldn't guess what exactly happened.

"Let's go. What are you three whispering about?"

Geng Jihui saw three people huddled together, seemingly doing something, and ran over to say something.

"Group A has invited us to a basketball game, but we're still short two players."

"Go ahead, I'll cheer you on."

Unless it's for training or a mission, Chang Ning usually hates being soaking wet; it's really uncomfortable when her clothes are sticky on her body.

"No, you have to play this time."

How could Geng Jihui let this guy who always found excuses to slack off get away with it? Moreover, after Chang Ning finished playing, he boasted about how great his skills were, what mistakes others made, and how he would handle things if he were on the court.

Geng Jihui had long wanted to teach this kind of verbally aggressive person a lesson. Now that he had the chance, how could he just let Chang Ning slip away?

After saying that, Geng Jihui winked at Xiao Zhuang and Qiangzi. The two of them naturally complied, as they had often been tricked by Chang Ning.

"Hey, isn't that unnecessary?"

Seeing that she was already being held up, Chang Ning couldn't break free.

With his current fighting skills and considerable strength, breaking free from Xiao Zhuang and Qiang Zi would be a piece of cake. The reason he doesn't resist is that everyone is just playing around and taking it too seriously would hurt their feelings, and besides, if he struggles, he might injure the two of them.

Therefore, Xiao Zhuang and Qiang Zi easily took Chang Ning away with their combined strength.

After the ostrich met the assassin and explained his purpose, he received exciting news from the assassin.

"Assassin, is everything you said true?"

Ostrich could hardly believe his ears. Just two days ago, he was worried about leaving the army because his term was about to expire, but today the opportunity was presented to him.

This is an all-army sniper competition; if he can win a prize, he can stay in the army.

After receiving the assassin's affirmative reply, the ostrich could no longer hold back: "Thank you, assassin. I am truly grateful. This opportunity is really important to me."

The ostrich assassin, who was rambling incoherently, told him the truth: "If you want to thank someone, thank your high school team."
