A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 373 The Scorpions Are Here
Inside a coastal villa.

Lin Xiaoxiao, wearing a thin gauze nightgown, sat on the windowsill with her chin resting on her knees, gazing at the distant waves.

Wang Yadong casually wiped the window, gazing down at the fully enclosed van.

From the moment Feng Yuxiu began interrogating him, he knew he had been exposed.

I was targeted by the police the moment I set foot on Chinese soil.

Now he either marries Lin Xiaoxiao or waits for the police to arrest him.

They could either run away, but that was impossible.

He probably can't even get close to the high-speed rail in this city right now.

"Wang Yadong, who are we inviting to our wedding? I don't think anyone from your family will be attending. My parents have cut ties with me, so it seems like no one can come."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up, looking somewhat sullen.

Wang Yadong stopped and laughed, "This is my second marriage. Marriage is a ceremony, and even if no one is around, I'll still make it a grand affair for you."

"How about I call He Chenguang over? He has a lot of friends. Besides, we grew up together, so he should come," Lin Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

Wang Yadong's expression stiffened slightly, then he nodded, "Anything is fine, I'll listen to you."

"That's great." Lin Xiaoxiao hugged Wang Yadong. "You're the best, not stingy at all."

Wang Yadong smiled slightly, patted Lin Xiaoxiao's head, and suddenly his whole body stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked up and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, I'm just going downstairs. I forgot something in the car."

Wang Yadong turned and went out the door, walking all the way to the bottom of the villa.

Feng Yuxiu was standing in front of his door.

“The scorpion won’t arrive for another month, so there’s really nothing I can do to help you. I haven’t broken any laws, and even if I have, it’s your country’s laws that will determine it.”

Feng Yuxiu stared at Wang Yadong expressionlessly. "Do you know why you're still alive? It's because you didn't participate in the Scorpion's ambush on us. Otherwise, you would have been torn to pieces by now."

Wang Yadong felt an immense sense of panic; he couldn't understand why there were such people in Chinese BD (Board of Directors) circles.

He has absolutely no sense of justice or order; it seems that doing whatever he pleases is his nature.

"When exactly will the scorpions arrive?"

“I don’t know. He’s the most cautious person I’ve ever met. He just gave me a rough timeframe, but he might not come. I don’t know what he’s coming for. Besides, he’s the only one sending me messages. I can’t contact him at all. Our communication is one-way.”

"Officer, that's all I know. I really don't know anything else. I won't run away. Please, can you grant me a short period of peace?"

Wang Yadong pleaded with Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu stared at Wang Yadong expressionlessly. "Remember, you only have one chance. If you miss this chance, your fate will be very, very terrible."

Feng Yuxiu looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao on the second-floor balcony. "I'm not one to follow the saying 'the sins of one's wife and children should not be visited upon them.'"

This time, Wang Yadong felt the extreme nature of the man in front of him.

As he said before, Feng Yuxiu has no bottom line when it comes to certain things.

Feng Yuxiu leaned closer and asked, "Do you love her?"

Wang Yadong was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course, she is a very lovely girl."

"Then lure the scorpion to me properly, or I'll make you two merge into one."

"Or you can prepare to launch a rapid attack on the ground from the fifteenth floor."

After saying that, Feng Yuxiu turned and left the villa community.

All that remained was Wang Yadong, his face trembling with fear.

He had never indiscriminately killed innocent people, but even so, he had witnessed the Scorpion team's massacre of innocents.

He thought nothing could change his numb mindset, but now... Lin Xiaoxiao has become his Achilles' heel.

He had seen inhuman people before and personally experienced that this man was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

On the counter-terrorism training ground.

He Chenguang and the others inspected the pistols and submachine guns in their hands.

Gong Jian, Chen Shanming, and Feng Yuxiu walked in.

Chen Shanming said in a deep voice, "Today's training subject is very simple. Aren't you known as the King of Guns? Then today we will conduct trust shooting."

Gong Jian picked up the thread, "You will all be carrying out missions in the future, so this trust shooting exercise is a test of your teamwork. Today you will use the Type 92 pistol to shoot at targets within 10 meters."

"Wang Yanbing, hang up the bulletproof vest."

Wang Yanbing immediately picked up the bulletproof vest and hung it on the wall ten meters away.

Chen Shanming drew his gun and began firing at his vest, instantly leaving it covered in dense white dots and bullet holes.

“You have all trained for so long and are very good at target practice, but you have never had any real combat experience.”

"So today you're not facing a target, but your comrades."

"Report!" Song Kaifei raised his hand.

"Speak," Chen Shanming said, glancing at him.

"Is it because we failed the last assessment that the Red Blood Cell Team is short of funds? Are they planning to reduce the number of members this way?"

"Shut your mouth!" Gong Jian roared. "You think you're so quick-witted? You'll start then."

"You, stand next to that target."

Song Kaifei walked to the target with his head down and stood at the same level as the target.

Everyone watched curiously. If it were just standing next to the target and shooting at it, there wouldn't be anything unusual.

Their marksmanship is so good that they can hit the bullseye every time within ten meters. What's so difficult about that?

Gong Jian tossed the pistol to Feng Yuxiu expressionlessly, "Let your captain demonstrate first."

At this, Song Kaifei's expression changed.

Feng Yuxiu may seem unremarkable on ordinary days, but his gaze becomes extremely serious and terrifying when he faces a target.

Especially those eyes, so green and eerie, like a weasel in the dark.

"It's alright, it's alright. The captain's marksmanship is the best. It's just a stationary target. It's fine." Song Kaifei took a deep breath and smiled.

"Activate!" Gong Jian waved his hand.

"What? What's activated?" Song Kaifei panicked.

Immediately afterwards, various moving targets flashed past him, each one moving quickly past his back.

"Are you...you're kidding? A moving target that fast??"

Xu Tianlong's expression changed slightly. "It's alright. As long as you shoot when the moving target starts, it'll be fine. The only problem is when the moving target is right next to the pilot... such a small distance... if it goes astray... you could really get a compensation payment."

"Impossible, the captain's marksmanship is the best I've ever seen." Li Erniu still believed in Feng Yuxiu unconditionally.

"I'm just afraid that shot might really miss..." Wang Yanbing said in a low voice.

"Yes... Captain, please shoot at a target further away... Please don't hit me on the head while I'm just watching..."

Song Kaifei pleaded in a trembling voice.

Feng Yuxiu slowly raised his pistol and pointed it at Song Kaifei.

The target instantly moved to Song Kaifei's ear.

boom!
Feng Yuxiu fired instantly, the bullet grazing Song Kaifei's head.

Song Kaifei was stunned for a moment, then picked at his ears, "Ah...ah! I'm deaf...I think I'm deaf..."

Immediately afterwards, the moving target moved rapidly, and each shot was fired just as the target was close to Song Kaifei's ear.

After a magazine was emptied, all the targets were hit.

Feng Yuxiu threw his pistol on the table, turned around, and looked at his dumbfounded teammates. "The rule is that the closer the target is to your comrades' bodies, the better your score. Anyone who wants to shoot from a distance, then you can switch to that position yourself. You can stop to eat when you shoot no more than three centimeters away."

"Now, switch to live ammunition!"

Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale with fear.

-

Song Kaifei remained standing in front of the target, his lips trembling as he looked at Xu Tianlong ten meters away. "Dude, we've always had a good relationship, right? You better watch out, this is live ammunition."

Xu Tianlong grinned, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

“Okay, my family said they’d mail me a bottle of good wine in a few days. I still owe you a meal,” Song Kaifei shouted, his legs trembling.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Xu Tianlong took a deep breath, raised his pistol, and began to aim at the moving target. His expression suddenly became serious.

These are live ammunition! If they deviate even slightly, your teammate will be completely wiped out.

"Yanbing, you better be on time. Be absolutely on time." Li Erniu's legs started to tremble. "I'll beat the guy who's going to marry Cuifen. Don't let Cuifen live a life of widowhood, or she'll come looking for you. Let me tell you, Cuifen's beatings really hard."

Li Erniu shouted, his lips trembling.

Wang Yanbing raised his pistol, closed his left eye, and said, "Don't make a sound, don't disturb me."

-

Feng Yuxiu stood expressionless in front of the target, staring at He Chenguang.

He Chenguang kept inhaling.

"Remember, fire when the target is near my ear, and make sure it's a one-shot kill. I don't have that much time to waste standing here with you," Feng Yuxiu said calmly.

He Chenguang stared intently at the moving target with a serious expression.

Even after the three targets passed behind Feng Yuxiu's head, He Chenguang still did not fire.

"Shoot! What are you doing? Shoot now!" Feng Yuxiu roared.

He Chenguang's right hand trembled nervously as he stared intently at a moving target that had just passed by.

boom!
The bullet grazed the edge of the target and hit.

Feng Yuxiu tilted his head and glanced at it. "Again, aim for the center."

Gong Jian and Chen Shanming exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat solemn.

Under such high pressure, if He Chenguang's condition deteriorates...

In the next few shots, He Chenguang always hit the target just around the edge, not daring to deviate even slightly.

The target is moving so fast that if you hesitate even slightly, you'll miss.

Feng Yuxiu will get his head blown off then.

Feng Yuxiu strode up to He Chenguang and said, "You begged me to let you train you before, and I told you something: if one day you encountered a criminal taking hostages, would you shoot? Now it seems you're really a piece of trash."

"Aren't you a sharpshooter? Why don't you dare to fire?"

He Chenguang was enraged.

Feng Yuxiu snatched the pistol away and said, "Get over there and stand there."

He Chenguang walked up to the target and stared intently at Feng Yuxiu.

The moving target flashed by in an instant.

Without any hesitation, Feng Yuxiu kept firing.

All the bullets in the pistol magazine were fired.

Every shot hit the target an inch from He Chenguang's ear.

"See that? Play like that! Change positions and try again!"

-

in the dormitory.

He Chenguang and the others stared at the ceiling, utterly exhausted.

"Why do I feel so tired today? It's like my body has been completely drained," Li Erniu said blankly.

"So close, so close!" Wang Yanbing raised his right hand, which was still trembling.

"Go to sleep, we have to train again tomorrow." Xu Tianlong turned over but couldn't fall asleep.

For the next month, they were trained in various ways.

This includes hostage rescue and bomb disposal.

Although there was no heavy physical training, everyone's nerves were pounding on the edge of a cliff.

There can be no room for error, otherwise the opportunity will become a sacrificed indicator in training.

Besides participating in training, Feng Yuxiu focused on mastering the Ape Strike Technique, which he can now use to cross a distance of four and a half meters.

He would bleed his calves every seven days, otherwise his calves would experience muscle spasms and swelling, making it impossible for him to move the next day.

-

"You're taking leave again? Where are you going?" Fan Tianlei stared at Feng Yuxiu in astonishment.

“A relative from my hometown is visiting, so I’ll take a day off to greet them. Gong Jian and Chen Shanming are enough for the red blood cell training,” Feng Yuxiu said without changing his expression.

"Alright then." Fan Tianlei nodded without any doubt.

At six o'clock in the morning, inside Wang Yadong's military supplies depot.

Wang Yadong parked his car, opened the roller shutter door, and went inside.

Sunlight streamed into the dimly lit military surplus store, instantly illuminating everything.

Scorpion, wearing sunglasses, was browsing through military shoes on the shelf with great interest.

Wang Yadong's pupils contracted, and he instantly turned around and pulled the roller shutter door down halfway.

Scorpion put down the shoe and looked at him with a smile, "Lynx, I heard you're getting married? Congratulations! I really envy you for being able to run a shop so well on the mainland."

Wang Yadong clenched his fists and stared silently at the suddenly appearing scorpion.

At the street corner, Chen Weijun opened the door of a van and was startled, kicking the dozing driver awake.

"Who told you to sleep? Don't you know there's 24/7 surveillance?"

"Captain, I'm sorry, I was just too sleepy and took a nap." The man quickly sat up straight.

"Is there anything unusual about Wang Yadong?"

"No, he went into the military surplus store from home."

Chen Weijun stared at the monitor. "Why is the door only half open?"

The man paused, then said, "I don't know."

But the next second the roller shutter door was pulled up completely, and Wang Yadong took out a broom and began to sweep the dust in front of the door.

"Something's not right. He never cleans. How long have you been sleeping?" Chen Weijun's expression changed slightly.

The man stammered, "About ten minutes."

"Rewind the surveillance footage!" Chen Weijun shouted as he rushed forward.

-

"Scorpion, are you crazy? How dare you come to the mainland? Are you insane?"

Wang Yadong roared in terror, thinking the scorpion was joking.

So he told Feng Yuxiu about the scorpion's whereabouts, but now the scorpion has really come.

"Don't be so anxious. If I can come, I can leave. It's been almost two years since we last met, hasn't it? Looks like you're doing well," Scorpion asked with a smile as he sat down.

Wang Yadong's face was grave. "You shouldn't have come. I'm being monitored."

"I know, that's normal. How come you're so cold after two years? You're my best sniper."

"I'm done! I've retired from this business, and now I just want to live a quiet life!" Wang Yadong roared in a low voice.

"Lynx, don't joke around. You were doomed from the moment you set foot on the mainland. You were destined to never live a normal life. The police are monitoring you now. Why don't you think they're arresting you? Isn't it to lure me out?"

"You've never killed anyone? Huh? How many people have died at your hands? A whole company, right? They won't let you get away with this."

Wang Yadong took a deep breath. "I have no blood debt with mainland China. I have never killed any of their people. At worst, I will turn myself in."

"Hahaha..." Scorpion pointed at Wang Yadong and mocked, "You're already preparing for your wedding, and you still plan to turn yourself in? Isn't this just wishful thinking? You'll live one day at a time until you're arrested by the police."

"Lynx, are you a good person? Huh? If you're a good person, why did you drag such a young girl down with you? You know it's impossible for you to be together in the end, so why did you still drag her down with you? You're a hypocrite."

“We are comrades-in-arms for life. We have formed a bond of life and death on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. You simply cannot give up all of this. Otherwise, why would you open a military surplus store? You have not completely broken with the past in your heart!”

Wang Yadong gritted his teeth, "What exactly are you here for?"

Scorpion laughed, "I've been demoted by the company. I'm here to do something similar to what happened with Fan Tianlei. I didn't manage to turn Fan Tianlei against me back then, but I can try with this guy named Xu Sanduo. He only started chasing me because the first shot hit his girlfriend. He's a ruthless, extremely vengeful, and sentimental person."

Wang Yadong's face was filled with disbelief. "Are you crazy? You're planning to kidnap his girlfriend?"

Scorpion smiled slightly, "I'll give it a try. Anyway, I have nothing left. If I succeed, I will bring huge profits to the company."

But then Scorpion froze. He noticed that Wang Yadong was staring intently at the monitor screen with a look of terror on his face.

Scorpion frowned and followed the gaze.

The street in front of the store was blocked off, and Yu Xiu stared expressionlessly at the entrance of the military surplus store.
