Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 169 A Discovery Full of Suspicious Points

As a long-time subordinate, he could tell whether the commander was angry or not. If he were really angry, the old man wouldn't have said so much to him.

After saying all that, seeing that He Zhijun was still pretending to be stupid, Commander He pointed at his old subordinate and said, "You, you've got some nerve, daring to play these tricks on me!"

Although Commander He was criticizing He Zhijun, it was actually just a joke between the two of them.

"This squad is young; I heard the youngest member is only eighteen. After getting off the plane, they quickly assumed a defensive posture, radiating outwards to surround the entire aircraft and surveying the surrounding environment."

They then covered the plane with camouflage cloth, weeds, and branches. During this process, they worked together very well and quickly, a stark contrast to their previous lazy approach.

Teams with such a balanced approach to tension and relaxation typically possess qualities that come from a team with its own history or those that have weathered many trials. It's hard to believe that such a performance could be found in a team with only one real-game experience.

Undoubtedly, Commander He's praise for Lone Wolf Team B was excessive, bordering on exaggeration. However, Team B's performance was indeed as Commander He had previously analyzed, something everyone had witnessed.

When praising someone, it's not unacceptable to exaggerate a little; most people can understand.

Moreover, since Langya is under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Military Region, what's wrong with the leaders trying to secure some benefits for their subordinates?
Thinking of this, the other officers in the office secretly turned their gazes toward the unremarkable colonel-level officer who had come to inspect the office with orders from the ministry.

They just wanted to know how this officer, who was at the center of the storm, would view the matter.

The result disappointed the officers in the office. The colonel who came to inspect the situation did not express any opinion. He just stared intently at the Lone Wolf Team B, which was rapidly approaching the first mission location on the screen, and occasionally looked down to write something in his notebook.

Seeing this, everyone's contempt disappeared, and they began to take this officer from the military headquarters seriously.

The Southeast Military Region has more than just the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade; there are also some units that are slightly weaker than the Wolf Fang, and this officer needs to inspect them one by one.

Since this person is not a good-for-nothing, everyone should take this seriously. I believe no one would be willing to stand idly by and watch their hard work be scrapped.

Because the mission location given by the high school team is more than ten kilometers away from where Group B is now, the officers sitting next to the screen can only watch Group B's armed cross-country run, which is at least somewhat interesting at first, but becomes quite tedious after a while.

As time passed, it was almost lunchtime. He Zhijun glanced at the clock on the wall and suggested that everyone go eat first. He said that someone would keep watch here and notify everyone after Team B arrived at the mission location.

He Zhijun's suggestion was appealing. The comrades who had accompanied him on the inspection were already exhausted, but they had persevered because of He Zhijun's presence and because they did not want to be looked down upon by the comrades from the military headquarters.

Even though everyone secretly hoped that no one would dare to leave without the leader's permission, they all looked at Commander He.

"Why are you all looking at me? This person is in charge here now."

Commander He said this jokingly to the officer from the military headquarters.

This left the visiting colonel-level officer completely bewildered and apprehensive.

Even though he came from the military, he didn't dare to put on airs with Commander He. Whether it was rank or relationship within the military, Commander He was not on the same level as him.

For a big shot of this caliber to say that he's in charge now is no different from putting him on the hot seat of a fire.
"Oh, Commander He, please stop joking with me."

From every perspective, I am the junior, and I have the lowest seniority here, so please make the decision.

Seeing that he seemed to have intimidated the other party, Commander He stopped being modest, but he still took some precautions for him.

"Xiao He, I think you should send someone to bring the food up. We can eat here. Ten kilometers of armed cross-country running won't take the special forces long. I'm afraid we'll have to come back halfway through the meal. That way, we might miss some exciting moments, and we won't even finish our meal before we've both been delayed."

"Okay, as the commander says."

After finishing his sentence, He Zhijun left the office to personally prepare the meal.

The others in the office continued to accompany the inspecting officer as he watched the surveillance footage of Chang Ning and the others.

Chang Ning, who was running quickly through the jungle, suddenly stopped. The members of Group B following behind him immediately spread out and used the advantageous terrain to hide themselves well.

"What's the situation with Kill Wolf?" Geng Jihui asked.

Apart from the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves, there were no other suspicious sounds coming from the woods. Chang Ning must have discovered something if he suddenly stopped moving forward.

"Come here, there's something good."

Chang Ning squatted on the ground, looking at the fresh soil that had been turned over, feeling somewhat excited.

This is a military restricted area, and ordinary people cannot come here, so the answer to who left these traces is self-evident.

Following instructions, everyone quickly moved closer to Chang Ning, then crouched down around her to keep watch, leaving only Geng Jihui to go forward and talk to Chang Ning.

"Timberwolves, look at this."

Before Geng Jihui could ask, Chang Ning pointed directly to the fresh shoe prints he had discovered and said.

Following Chang Ning's finger, Geng Jihui saw a shoe print that was size 43. Judging from the pattern on the sole, it was a standard military boot from the army.

"Be on guard! We've discovered traces of the Gale Squad, and it's still fresh."

By picking up a small clump of humus from the shoe print and feeling the moisture level of the soil, Geng Jihui could easily estimate the time interval between the shoe print's formation and its discovery.

"The other party left here about ten minutes ago. Considering the different situations of the two sides, the owner of the shoe should now be within three kilometers of us."

One useful piece of information after another kept popping out of Geng Jihui's mouth, based solely on a relatively fresh shoe print.

"We've run right into their trap! We were just wondering how to find the Gale Squad, and instead of staying in the training field, they've walked right into our trap. It's like the heavens are on our side!"

Qiangzi said excitedly, at this moment he felt that the whole Gale Squad was his little cutie, he really loved these people to death.

"No, it's not that simple!"
To increase the difficulty, the high school team will definitely tell Hayate some of our information, including our unfamiliarity with the new training ground.

The people of Gale aren't stupid. Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that when the strength of the two sides is unequal, utilizing advantageous terrain is the best strategy.

Chang Ning said in a deep voice, speaking slowly.

I've written 10,000 words today. Could you please give me a monthly ticket or a recommendation ticket to encourage me?
