Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 290 Qiangzi's Curiosity

Nobody likes being nagged at at length, including Geng Jihui himself.

However, his comrades were a bunch of restless guys who would try to do something new if he wasn't careful.

Therefore, Geng Jihui had to do political work again and again.

"I know you don't like to hear this, and neither do I."

Everyone was exhausted after a busy night.

Let's eat something and rest for a bit.

At the team leader's command, the members of Team B cheered and sat down on the ground, then removed all the heavy loads such as backpacks and bulletproof vests from their bodies.

Seeing that everyone was just eating dry, compressed biscuits, Chang Ning took the initiative to get up and look around the camp to see if there was anything else to eat, hoping to change things up for everyone.

The primeval jungle is extremely dangerous for those unfamiliar with it, but for special forces soldiers, wilderness explorers, and hunters who have lived here since childhood, it feels like home.

Shortly after leaving the camp, Changning gathered more than a dozen wild fruits, which he carried in his clothes. These fruits can effectively supplement the vitamins needed by the human body.

Although the compressed biscuits provided by the military are now quite nutritious, it's not good to eat them all the time. Changing the flavor occasionally is one of the few comforts during this mission.

After gathering wild fruits, Chang Ning caught a few snakes before returning to camp, satisfied.

This little bit of food wouldn't even be enough to fill the teeth of a few big-bellied men. It wasn't that Chang Ning didn't want to continue looking for food; he had already gone far from the camp, and he was afraid his comrades would worry if he went any deeper.

When Chang Ning returned with the gifts, she was immediately greeted with a warm welcome, instantly boosting her emotional value.

"I find myself becoming more and more dependent on you."

This is what the ostrich said after taking a bite of wild fruit.

"Without Changning, we'll have trouble even getting food."

This is what the sanitation worker, who was processing snake meat, said.

"With Chang Ning in the team, logistics are guaranteed," Qiangzi said.

Qiangzi is absolutely right; Changning is known for his ability to carry heavy loads.

His backpack was filled with all sorts of supplies, and with him around, the members of Group B certainly didn't have to worry about supplies.

"That's right, what would you do without me?"

Faced with everyone's praise, Chang Ning didn't try to be modest and accepted it all without question.

modesty?

nonexistent.

"Your skin is getting thicker and thicker," Xiao Zhuang said with a laugh.

"How can this be considered shameless? Everyone is just stating the facts," Chang Ning argued with a smile.

"Xiao Zhuang, forget it."

A tree without bark will surely die; a shameless person is invincible!

"Chang Ning is practically invincible in my eyes," Qiangzi said mischievously.

How could Chang Ning let Qiangzi off the hook after being subjected to a barbed and sarcastic remark?

He happened to have a fruit pit in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he skillfully struck Qiangzi's left cheek.

"Qiangzi, don't think I can't tell you're mocking me for being shameless."

The fruit pit that Chang Ning used to attack Qiangzi was like a flame igniting explosives, causing the entire camp to boil over.

At first, Qiangzi was unwilling to be ambushed by Changning, so he fought back.

Then, someone ambushed the ostrich who was gnawing on snake meat while watching the show, but the ostrich was so engrossed in the performance that it didn't notice who attacked it.

But this didn't stump the ostrich. The only one who usually teased him was the medic, so it must have been the medic who did it.

The conflict escalated, affecting the entire team. This was only because Team B had thoroughly investigated the surrounding area domestically, and everyone was certain it was safe before daring to proceed.

"Alright, alright, stop it, everyone."

After removing the bits of grass stuck to his hair, Geng Jihui called a halt to their playful antics.

Although the surroundings are relatively safe, it's okay for everyone to relax a little, but we shouldn't go too far.

The operation is not over yet, and everyone must ensure they have sufficient physical strength to cope with the mission and any unexpected events.

Chang Ning sat on Qiangzi's stomach, pinning him to the ground so that Qiangzi could not get up.

Only after Geng Jihui stopped everyone did they get up and release Qiangzi.

"Honestly, do you have some secret trick?"

"How come your strength has increased again?" Qiangzi asked Changning as he stood up.

During the recent combat training, he could barely keep up in terms of strength, but during the playful fight just now, he could clearly feel that Chang Ning's strength had increased significantly.

How come this person keeps growing? There's never been a bottleneck.

Generally speaking, as people age, their strength will not increase or will increase slowly without targeted training.

Why doesn't this rule apply in Changning?

"I don't have any secret recipe."

Chang Ning shrugged: "We're inseparable, like brothers, even closer than girlfriends. If I had this secret recipe, why wouldn't I share it with you all?"

After Chang Ning said that, Qiangzi thought about it and realized that he hadn't found his good brother doing anything strange.

This increase in strength can only be attributed to physical constitution, since everyone's physical constitution is different.

Maybe Changning is a mutation that makes her so strong.

"What kind of look is that? Dude, can't you see that I'm younger than all of you?"

Chang Ning was certain that, judging from Qiangzi's eyes, this guy was definitely making fun of him.

"From a scientific point of view, I haven't reached my peak yet, and my strength will definitely continue to increase, so there's nothing strange about it."

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that you’re younger than all of us. In the entire Group B, only Xiao Zhuang is about the same age as you.”

After Chang Ning explained, Qiangzi finally remembered that Chang Ning was younger than him.

They're still growing, so it's not surprising that their strength is increasing.

Since Chang Ning had indeed not secretly eaten the secret recipe, Qiangzi stopped pressing the matter.

His special physique is a gift, and he can only be envious.

With the wild fruits gathered in Changning and the snakes hunted, Group B's appetite was somewhat relieved.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Geng Jihui began to arrange the order of the guard duty.

It's noon now, the time when the sun is at its strongest.

The time allotted to Group B was more than enough, so Geng Jihui did not plan to march at this time, but to wait until after the sun had set.

According to calculations, they can rest for three hours, which is just enough to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Because Chang Ning had shown his spirit by finding food for everyone, Geng Jihui took advantage of the situation and assigned him the first shift.

He also paired Xiao Zhuang and Chang Ning together. The two were the youngest soldiers in Group B. Arranging them on the first shift of sentry duty was not only a way for Geng Jihui to give them something in return, but also a way to take care of the young soldiers.

Time flew by, and after Chang Ning was woken up by Geng Jihui, she knew they had to continue their journey.

There was no other reason than that Geng Jihui, as the commander of Group B, placed himself on the last shift of guard duty.

The action plan had been prepared in advance, and we set off on time at 3:00 PM.
