Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 75 The Assassin Appears and the 90-Kilometer Raid
The second round of selection training focuses on the learning ability of the newcomers, while also incorporating a lot of physical training.

Often, newbies are learning how to lay a hole, and the next second they're asked to do push-ups or squats, supposedly to loosen up their muscles.

In short, the Wolf Fang gang has plenty of ways to mess with you.

Thanks to the training, Chang Ning gained two more experience bars: demolition and hand-to-hand combat.

In the makeshift shooting range, Gao Zhong, holding a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, spoke eloquently in front of the ranks, while Chang Ning listened attentively in the ranks.

Whether it's the high school captain explaining the advantages and disadvantages of this rifle, various shooting methods, or his own insights and experiences.

To be honest, Chang Ning had seen it in professional books before, and with his memory, remembering it was naturally effortless.

The shooting experience he gained from the high school team was the most valuable to him. Although Chang Ning had already developed muscle memory through systematic training and constant practice with guns, making him very strong, he still possessed considerable skill.

However, if he encounters a mission with hellish difficulty, even with the system-loaded shooting assistance function, he may still fail.

After all, Chang Ning himself had never actually fought a battle, and the battlefield is precisely where the greatest variables occur.

"After saying all this, I believe you don't have any intuitive feeling."

Deng Zhenhua, I heard you were a paratrooper sniper?

Since the high school team leader had said that, Deng Zhenhua naturally knew what they were trying to do. He believed that his marksmanship, while not the best, was at least passable.

He immediately perked up and said, "Yes!"

The high school team then instructed the ostrich to run quickly from the line to the firing position and fire rapidly at a 50-meter target.

The ostrich did as he was told, thinking it would be as simple as eating and drinking, but in reality it was not so easy.

The brief period of intense exercise prevented the ostrich from reaching its optimal shooting condition, and its hand trembled slightly when aiming.

His results were naturally not very good; he would be lucky to even hit the target.

Seeing that his score was truly terrible, Ostrich was extremely embarrassed. He usually boasted about his marksmanship, but today he was proven wrong, and he quickly slunk back to the queue.

If there were a crack in the ground, he would want to crawl into it immediately. The ostrich even felt that the people around him were starting to look at him strangely.

The high school team realized that the ostrich was the only one with this problem.

In fact, all soldiers who have not received professional training have this deficiency.

"Chang Ning, come here."

Others might not know, but how could the high school team that had played against Chang Ning not know about Chang Ning's shooting skills?

Although he's not a qualified sniper right now, he can still manage to be a marksman.

Unlike ostriches that boast all the time, Chang Ning never takes the initiative to talk about the skills she has mastered.

'I wonder if this kid has improved?'

The high school team stared intently at Chang Ning in the ranks, their hearts filled with anticipation.

"Yes!"

Chang Ning stepped forward, loaded his gun, bent slightly, took a small step back with his right foot, and prepared to run at full speed.

"start."

Chang Ning's explosive power makes his starting speed much faster than others, and this difference is obvious to the naked eye.

Everyone could tell that Chang Ning was much faster than the ostrich from before.

Everyone's used to it; Chang Ning broke countless records during the selection training camp.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three shots were fired in quick succession, hitting the human-shaped target in the lungs, heart, and between the eyebrows.

A fleeting look of admiration crossed Gao Zhong's eyes. He had just explained the shooting technique of controlling the enemy first, then killing them, and finally finishing them off, which he hadn't expected Chang Ning to execute today.

This tactic is actually commonly used in CQB, which is close-quarters combat indoors. As a unit directly under the military region, the Wolf Fang Special Forces are one of the few amphibious special operations forces in China.

Their mission scope is naturally not limited to the wild; urban counter-terrorism and personnel protection are also within their training scope.

"Good, join the ranks."

"Yes."

Chang Ning saluted the high school team and then joined the ranks.

He received a wave of amazed looks in the queue. No one expected that Chang Ning not only had abnormal physical abilities, but also such excellent marksmanship, leaving no way for others to survive.

Ostrich was speechless; he never expected that their rookie team A would have such a pro.

"Ostrich, don't worry, I won't steal your sniper position."

Chang Ning gave the ostrich a friendly smile.

'Snipers aren't my target. With this system, I'm going to be an all-around fighter; I can't let one combat position limit me.'

Is this a matter of fighting for a position? In the army, the strong rise to the top and the weak fall to the bottom. Chang Ning's marksmanship is better than his, so what complaints could the ostrich have?

The point is that the ostrich is now dead, not anything else.

"Hey, Chang Ning's marksmanship is so good, why didn't you say so? If I had known, I wouldn't have bragged like that. Now I'm so embarrassed!"

The ostrich looked dejected; he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Didn't I say that?"

He thought everyone had seen how long he had been training, with shooting practice every day.

Seeing the ostrich shaking its head and smiling wryly, Chang Ning looked at Xiao Zhuang beside her. Xiao Zhuang also shook his head; Chang Ning had indeed not mentioned this.

"Okay, it's not too late to know now."

"Hehe, as the saying goes, shame is the mother of courage. You can ask Chang Ning for advice."

We're all comrades, don't be shy, just be thick-skinned.

The medic tried to remind the ostrich, but he always unconsciously teased it whenever he interacted with it.

The group of people were very careful in their movements when communicating in the queue. By the second round, the instructors usually turned a blind eye to these minor things. As long as it wasn't too excessive, they wouldn't interfere.

"Alright, do you guys want to quit? If you do, just say it out loud!"

When the high school team saw that these troublemakers were starting to cause trouble again, they scolded them with a stern face.

"Report: No, I don't want to!"

Just kidding, they've made it to the second round, why would they give up so easily?

"If you don't want to talk, shut up. And everyone else, don't gloat. Just keep a close eye on things!"

After speaking, Captain Gao reloaded his rifle and then sprinted towards his firing position. He overcame inertia during the vigorous movement, adjusted his firing posture in advance, and then drew his weapon to fire.

The whole process was so smooth and fluid that if you broke down all the movements, you could make an instructional video; it was truly a brutal aesthetic.

A set of movements may look simple, but just overcoming inertia during the movement alone is enough to keep everyone practicing for a long time.

Because it requires strong body control and a robust physique.

The novices were dumbfounded. After the training, everyone's horizons were broadened considerably, and they all knew how difficult the movements were.

The high school team leader turned around and said, "This is the most basic method for special forces soldiers to conduct rapid shooting while in motion. You still have a lot to learn."

"Rookies, train hard! You still have a long way to go." "Grey Wolves Organization Training!"

"Yes."

Ma Da, standing behind the high school team, stood at attention and responded loudly.

"Everyone, stand one meter apart in all directions. One hour of rifle training, begin!"

In the ranks, the rookies held their guns in perfect unison, while instructors patrolled around them from time to time, correcting any mistakes in their movements.

"Tsk tsk, Chang Ning, you can definitely do the set of moves that Captain Gao just did, right?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the silly wolf was away, Xiao Zhuang asked Chang Ning. Others might not know, but as a fellow soldier from the same year and comrades in the same company, how could he not know Chang Ning's background?

Based on his observations, none of the people present could fight him in terms of physical ability.

"It should be possible, but I haven't tried it."

Chang Ning said that he is slowly developing his own shooting style, but he does not reject the training of the high school team. There is no harm in learning more.

The experience of people like the senior team leader who have gone through real combat is especially valuable. How could Chang Ning possibly start looking down on this or that just because he has a system?

The system is good, but your life is your own, and you only have one. It's always better to be cautious.

In the evening, after running back and forth a few times on the obstacle course, the rookies were taken to the cafeteria entrance.

"You have three minutes to go back to your dorms and bring your stools. Without further ado, anyone who's late is out!"

Under the threat of elimination, the newbies quickly brought their stools to the cafeteria entrance.

Then the gray wolf told everyone to sit down: "You're not here to eat, but to take an exam. Only those who finish the questions can go in to eat."

The questions on the test are all from high school chemistry and physics. The exam will begin now!

When Chang Ning received his test paper, he glanced at the questions and found that they were all questions he had learned in high school. He could even mentally calculate the answers to some of them.

For a top student like me, this kind of difficulty is nothing.

What's annoying is that the instructors would occasionally fire their guns, sending spent cartridges flying everywhere.

Miao Lang was especially despicable, always running towards him. Hot bullets would always land on his test paper, slowing down his answering speed.

"Miao Lang, can you stay away from me!"

Chang Ning was annoyed and couldn't help but call out to shoo them away, but when he looked up and saw who it was, he was so shocked that his eyes widened.

"prick……"

"Shh!"

The assassin quickly covered Chang Ning's mouth; his identity couldn't be revealed to the rookies yet.

"Kid, hurry up and answer the questions. I've checked your profile, these questions won't be difficult for you."

"How did you come?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Looks like you're ignoring what I said."

Upon hearing this, Chang Ning remembered what had happened. During the last exercise, the assassin had asked him to write a report on the exercise, focusing on the shooting part.

Now that people have come to ask him for it, Chang Ning has completely forgotten about it.

Seeing Chang Ning's face freeze, the assassin knew that the kid probably hadn't written it.

However, it's not a big problem. He just casually mentioned the report; what he was really interested in was Chang Ning himself.

"I knew you hadn't written it yet. Hurry up and I'll come find you when I have time."

If you still don't have anything next time, you're dead meat!

The assassin, of course, couldn't tell Chang Ning what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to give it to you next time."

Relieved that the assassin wouldn't pursue the matter, Chang Ning readily agreed.

He was genuinely terrified of the assassin, and his only defeat since joining the army was at the hands of the assassin.

Chang Ning felt that even if his shooting skills had improved, he might not be able to beat his opponent easily.

After the assassin left, Chang Ning returned to the problems. There was a final, challenging problem with a lot of calculations, which would take some time.

Sitting next to Chang Ning, Xiwa felt uneasy looking at the test paper. So far, his paper was completely blank, with nothing written on it.

This is also where the Wolf Fang bandits' strength lies; there are no multiple-choice questions on the test paper, only answer keys, no wonder Xiwa didn't write anything.

Seeing that Xiwa was acting strangely, Mada came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't understand the questions on the test paper."

Xiwa looked pale, her eyes red and glistening with tears.

He already knew he was going to be eliminated, but how could he accept that all his hard work had been stumped by a simple test paper?

“This is from your high school chemistry textbook; you should have learned it,” Mada said in surprise.

"I graduated from junior high school."

Upon hearing Xiwa's answer, Mada sighed, "He was a good soldier, what a pity."

"Quit, newbie."

Xiwa stood up, and finally, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they flowed down her cheeks.

"Xiwa, it's okay, try again next year. Don't be discouraged. Old Cannon Squad Leader also studied high school subjects on his own for a year, and look how well he's doing now."

The old man was quite far from Changning. When he heard Changning calling him, he looked up and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he started working on his chemistry problems again.

"Okay, I'll come again next year!"

Xiwa wiped away her tears, packed her things, placed her helmet under the national flag, and left.

Chang Ning finished his homework in no time and went to the cafeteria for dinner. He could already smell the aroma; there was braised tofu for dinner tonight.

When all the training in the second round had progressed to a certain level, the assessment began.

This assessment was conducted in teams, and the senior team leader announced the assessment tasks with a cold expression.

“A police detective has been kidnapped by a drug cartel in the A32 border area. Your mission is to conduct a raid to rescue him and bring him back.”

Operation codenamed 'Tropical Lightning', squad codenamed 'Lightning'.

Remember, if you are captured, you will not have a chance to continue the test, and the entire team will be eliminated!
Is it clear?

"clear!"

The newbies shouted loudly.

'We're about to cover 90 kilometers.'

The task that impressed Chang Ning the most during the assessment was the 90-kilometer run in the original storyline.

He was feeling a little uneasy; the distance he had covered on this raid was simply too long.
