Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 43 Elimination of the High School Team (1)

Having escaped the search team's pursuit, Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang dared not linger and ran wildly through the woods with their heads covered.

"Xiao Zhuang, are you sure you can handle this? Maybe you should take a break?"

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang beside her seemed to be struggling, Chang Ning asked with concern.

His physical strength is much better than Xiao Zhuang's now. He is already feeling tired, while Xiao Zhuang is probably just forcing himself to keep going.

"I...I can still...I can still hold on."

Seeing Xiao Zhuang panting heavily, Chang Ning didn't hold back at all and exposed his lie.

"Come on, look how exhausted you are. We're such good friends, is it really necessary to push yourself to the limit?"

After finishing his sentence, Chang Ning casually sat down on the ground to rest. He hadn't rested much along the way, with intense battles and long-distance cross-country runs at night. He simply couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing that Chang Ning was already sitting on the ground, Xiao Zhuang stopped insisting. He plopped down next to Chang Ning, unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip of water, and moistened his throat.

"Chen Pai, we're out. The entire Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is down to just the two of us."

Xiao Zhuang's eyes revealed deep frustration and confusion; he didn't know what to do next. Even if he was going to cause a scene, he had to find the Blue Team first.

Now he and Chang Ning are wandering aimlessly in the woods. What could they possibly encounter?
"Who told you it was just the two of us left?"

Chang Ning's words greatly encouraged Xiao Zhuang.

"Is there someone else? Where are the others?"

How would I know where the others are?

Chang Ning said irritably, "If he had known where Lao Pao and the others were being held, he would have gone to rescue them long ago instead of staying here."

"Then how can you be so sure they weren't eliminated?"

Xiao Zhuang doesn't believe the others haven't been eliminated yet. Last night, they clashed with the high school team and deeply felt the gap in strength between the two sides. Therefore, he is pessimistic about whether his comrades will be eliminated.

"Are you stupid? Not all search teams have the capabilities they had last night. With the capabilities of our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, it would be very difficult to find someone if they were deliberately hiding."

"However, this is Blue Army territory, and they can mobilize many resources to assist in the search, such as deploying military dogs."

Xiao Zhuang still didn't believe what Chang Ning said.

"Okay, I'm not arguing with you anymore."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang was starting to get stubborn, Chang Ning looked pained and didn't want to argue with Xiao Zhuang anymore.

What's the most important thing when you're in trouble? Hope, of course. Chang Ning said that because she saw Xiao Zhuang getting discouraged, so she tried to help him regain his confidence.

Who knew that this would make him start to get stuck on something so trivial? It's utterly speechless.

Xiao Zhuang wasn't stupid. Seeing that Chang Ning was silent, he belatedly realized why Chang Ning had said that.

People were trying to help him out of kindness, but he ended up making them not want to talk anymore.

"Um, Changning, I can be a bit stubborn sometimes, so please don't be angry."

Xiao Zhuang said with an embarrassed smile.

"Alright, do you think I'm that petty? If I got angry over this, I'd be angry to death ten or eight times a day."

Stop talking and hurry up and recover your strength; we still have a long journey ahead.

After saying that, Chang Ning closed her eyes and quietly recovered her strength.

"Oh."

Seeing that Chang Ning was indeed not angry, Xiao Zhuang was relieved.

He knew all too well that because of his temper, he had never had many friends growing up. He had finally made a friend like Chang Ning in the army, and he didn't want to ruin their relationship over this. Meanwhile, Gao Zhong, who was about 800 or 900 meters away from Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang, was feeling quite uneasy.

He had clearly calculated that Chang Ning and Xiao Zhuang would definitely pass by here, but he ended up waiting here for more than ten minutes.

"That doesn't make sense. Given Changning's speed, they shouldn't have failed to appear by now. Could they have changed direction along the way?"

The high school team leader decided to wait another three minutes; if they still didn't arrive, he wouldn't play with those two anymore.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile to lead a direct decapitation strike? Even if the Blue Army hasn't found the Red Army's command post yet, that doesn't stop Wolf Fang from decapitating the Red Army's regimental commander.

With numerous problems arising among frontline troops, the Blue Army commander will surely seize the opportunity to win the exercise in one fell swoop!
"We have to go. I have a feeling the high school team won't let us off the hook."

Chang Ning said worriedly that he was no match for them at the moment, even though his marksmanship might now be better than Gao Zhong's.

However, combat strength is something that takes into account a combination of personal information.

Even if the high school team can't beat him in one or two events, in the forest, their rich experience can easily defeat him, and he might not even know how he was eliminated in the end.

That's how terrifying it is. Don't underestimate the lethality of an experienced special forces soldier in their area of ​​expertise!

"Where should we go next in Changning?"

Xiao Zhuang pretended to be relaxed, trying to lighten the mood. After all, now it was just the two of them, raw recruits, with an elite special forces soldier possibly following behind them. Anyone in that situation would have some doubts.
"Where to go?"

Chang Ning was truly stumped by the question. If Chen Guotao hadn't been eliminated, she could have asked him for advice; with his professional perspective, he would have given her good suggestions.

Currently, Chang Ning only knows about the situation in three regions: 321, 322, and 323. Once he leaves these regions, he will be completely clueless.

Chang Ning is a cautious person. He won't do anything without knowing the situation at all. Therefore, he and Xiao Zhuang can only operate in these three regions, and they have to make a big splash.

Otherwise, if they were merely going into hiding, they might as well return to the Red Army's position as soon as possible.

Perhaps Miao Lian could even speak to their superiors on their behalf and get them sent to the front lines.

First of all, there are no big fish left in the 321 area, and they even took out the only missile unit.

Secondly, the 322 area, which is where he and Xiao Zhuang are currently staying, has a radar base, and they were just beheaded there.

But this isn't a big loss for them; they can still continue working for the Blue Army command. That's the difference between the logistics department and the front-line troops.

"If we went back now, we could catch them off guard, but it wouldn't be of much use. Relying on him and Xiao Zhuang would only cause chaos, allowing the radar base to react and wipe them out in no time. It would be like sending themselves to their deaths."

Two of the three options have been eliminated, so now we can only try our luck in area 323.

Chang Ning, however, was not optimistic about the next move.

The three of them caused such a commotion in areas 321 and 322 that it's hard to believe that the artillery positions in area 323, which are right next to them, weren't on high alert.

They might get surrounded and killed as soon as they arrive.

Chang Ning shared his analysis with Xiao Zhuang, wanting to discuss it with him.

"You've analyzed it so thoroughly, what's there to discuss? We're here to cause trouble, so it doesn't matter if we get eliminated."

Unlike Changning's caution, Xiaozhuang has a "no cowardice, just do it" attitude.

'Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? I'm going there to cause trouble.'
