Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 176 Mutual Testing, Chang Ning Misjudgment

Following the intermittent footprints, Chang Ning arrived at an abandoned factory located at the border of the North and West districts.

Looking at the factory area filled with a strong war-themed atmosphere, Chang Ning clicked his tongue in amazement: "Wolf Fang's military budget is really rich!"

The factory was clearly bombarded with weapons after it was built, and all that could be seen was ruins.

The only buildings that could be called houses were the factory buildings not far away. Even the only surviving building in the factory area looked dilapidated and as if it would collapse at any moment.

“What a great place!”

Chang Ning, who was familiar with sniping techniques, casually scanned the area and found many locations that could be used as sniping positions. The dilapidated factory buildings and piles of sand and bricks everywhere provided natural cover.

There's not even a need for elaborate setup; the materials for making ghillie suits are easy to find, with gray cement bags being an excellent option.

"Could it be that I'm facing a sniper from Gale?"

Leaning against the corner of the wall, Chang Ning felt a little uneasy. The environment here was just too suitable as a battlefield for a sniper.

Whenever Chang Ning had free time, Vulture would often drag him to the sniper company and have him trained together with the assassins.

Therefore, Chang Ning believed that his sniping skills were not weak and that he was capable of serving as a sniper when necessary.

However, Chang Ning wasn't sure how big the gap was between him and a professional sniper.

He was always the one getting crushed whenever he played with the assassins; he never won.

This caused Chang Ning to start feeling nervous whenever he actually faced a sniper one-on-one.

This is a disease, and the cause is a lack of self-confidence.

Once Chang Ning has a match with another sniper, his illness will naturally be cured without any medicine.

"Just sitting here doing nothing isn't going to work either."

Looking at his stats panel, the words "proficient in firearms" gave Chang Ning a little more confidence.

Comparing patience with a sniper is an extremely foolish thing to do. Whether it's an assassin or an ostrich, Chang Ning has seen too many excellent qualities of snipers in them, and patience is just one of them.

Leaning against the mottled wall, I cautiously peeked out just enough to see clearly, and quickly surveyed the factory area.

He had just pulled his head back when he heard a sharp crack from the wall, as if something had struck him.

"Luckily I dodged quickly."

In a very short time, Chang Ning memorized the scene he had just witnessed and calculated the best route.

This requires considering how to get as close as possible to the only surviving dilapidated factory building in the factory area while trying to avoid the enemy's firing range.

Chang Ning originally had no way of calculating the opponent's firing arc, but that previous shot solved that problem.

He only needed to glance over the wall at the bullet marks left there to roughly estimate the opponent's firing arc.

On the abandoned wooden table in the factory, Gale-4 saw through the optical sight that he had missed Chang Ning. Although it was within his expectations, he still felt a little disappointed.

"As expected of Group B, the time interval from the probe to the return is definitely less than two seconds!"
The moment I pulled the trigger and the moment he ducked back were practically simultaneous—a truly terrifying premonition!

Jifeng No. 4 picked up his rifle, collected the spent cartridges, and put them in his pocket. He was about to move to the next position. It's worth mentioning that he wasn't the sniper of the Jifeng team; he was using a Type 95 rifle.

Firing at Chang Ning just now was merely a way of greeting him. It would have been best if I had hit him, but it wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't.

He didn't intend to eliminate his opponent with just one shot in this situation; after all, he wasn't a sniper, and his marksmanship was only passable. The real killing move was yet to come. Everyone said that Lone Wolf was the best assault team in Wolf Fang, and Gale No. 4 never doubted that.

Just a few days ago, he was still receiving training from the instructors of Lone Wolf Group A. Everyone had personally experienced the strength of Group A, and they were all convinced of its power.

But Lone Wolf Team B is supposedly a newly formed squad.

Since everyone is a newcomer, why can't he be selected for Group B?
This time, he'll have to carefully assess the quality of the Team B members.

Jifeng No. 4 was not worried about what would happen if Chang Ning couldn't find him after he moved his position.

Since he dared to leave, he must have made thorough preparations and wasn't worried that Chang Ning wouldn't see the clues he left behind.

Seeing that the other party had not made any move, Chang Ning had no choice but to risk jumping over the wall. His landing spot was a pile of rubble that he had previously selected, which was just the right size to cover him as he crouched down.

Still no movement. Did they leave?

Logically, the moment he jumped over the wall was the best time to fire, but the other party did not choose to fire.

To determine whether the enemy had truly moved their position, Chang Ning held up his helmet with his hand, slightly revealing a bit of it, and then made irregular movements to create the illusion that he was moving.

After a few seconds, the expected impact did not occur.

In general, there are only two possibilities when you encounter this situation: the other party sees through his trick or he really leaves.

Chang Ning leans towards the latter; if he were facing a different member of a special forces team today, he wouldn't have drawn such a conclusion so easily.

The members of the Gale Squad, like their Group B, were all newcomers, and very few of them had ever seen bloodshed.

The probability of a skilled player emerging from such a small team is extremely low. Do you really think that talented individuals like He Chenguang and Leng Feng are so common that you can find them anywhere?

"It's good that they left; it will make it easier for me to gather intelligence."

Chang Ning glanced at the surveillance camera installed under the eaves out of the corner of her eye. She was no longer worried about leaving a bad impression on her superiors by wasting time.

The two sides have now begun to clash, and the real show is just getting started.

Only the details revealed in the offense and defense are what the leaders want to see; otherwise, how can they directly inspect the combat of Lone Wolf Team B?

Demonstrating solid tactical maneuvers and military proficiency requires a great deal of detailed evidence, and these things take time to develop.

The personnel sent down to inspect the combat effectiveness of each special forces brigade must be experts in special operations or soldiers with practical combat experience, and they are well aware of this.

The colonel sitting in He Zhijun's office is such a talented person; his true identity is a teacher specializing in special command at a military academy.

Having previously studied foreign special forces, I am familiar with the tactical systems of major foreign special forces units.

From the moment Chang Ning was discovered in the two-story white villa, the officer watched Chang Ning's behavior through surveillance while making notes in his notebook.

He Zhijun, standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but as a veteran, his expression management was naturally at its best, and there was no trace of urgency on his face.

So far, Chang Ning and his teammates' performance can only be described as mediocre, without any outstanding achievements, which makes him somewhat uneasy.

"5.8 millimeters!"

Chang Ning looked at the bullet marks on the wall with surprise.
