When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 117 A bet is a bet! All members of Class 9 will undergo five drills!

"What, can't I come?" Old Wang said irritably.

Xu Ge sized up the other person, whose only exposed part was his eyes, but he was also wearing sunglasses.

"Uncle Wang, why are you wrapped up so tightly?"

"Can't I be afraid of getting sunburned?"

Where's your Prado?

"It got smashed again by that bastard Thor, and it's still being repaired!"

Old Wang pulled a large bag out of his tricycle and handed it over, saying, "Give this to your squad leader."

Xu Ge took it and asked, "Which class monitor should I give it to?"

"How many class monitors do you have? It must be your Class 9... Oh no, I forgot, I'll give you the vice class monitor!" Old Wang slapped his forehead.

Xu Ge was even more puzzled: "Uncle Wang, how did you know I was in Class 9?"

Old Wang: "Nonsense, I'm the one who told Liu Guoping to assign you three to Class 9."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Uncle Wang, are you really Wolf Head?" Xu Ge asked in a low voice.

"Oh, look at your unsurprised expression. Didn't you already guess it?" Old Wang's face was covered by a headscarf, so his expression was not visible.

Seeing that the other party admitted it directly, Xu Ge immediately asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Then why are you always selling things everywhere? Are all you Hidden Wolves that free?"

The recruit training camp is at least a hundred or two hundred kilometers away from here, yet Lao Wang travels back and forth between the two places. According to Kaiyoumu, he has been doing this for several years.

"Who are you calling a lazy bum?"

Old Wang's tone was unfriendly, "I'm a dignified Wolf Head, is it wrong for me to have some personal hobbies? Besides, I was on vacation for the past two months, what's it to you?"

Xu Ge looked at the other person and whispered, "Uncle Wang... no, sir, did you really earn that Land Cruiser SUV from people like us?"

Old Wang: "You son of a bitch... I bought that myself! I saved up for several years' worth of wages!"

"Oh!"

Xu Ge looked down at the bag in his hand: two bottles of Baiyunbian liquor and two cartons of Huanghelou cigarettes.

"Sir, what if my squad leader doesn't want me if I take him back?"

Old Wang was taken aback at first, then quickly moved closer to the railing: "The old squad leader mentioned me to you, right? What did he say?"

"Sir, I've already said that, so it can't be anything nice."

"It's okay, just tell me, I can handle it."

Xu Ge: "The squad leader said you're a stupid bastard."

Old Wang: ...

"You're really honest, kid. Can't you even lie to me?"

Old Wang was so angry his liver hurt. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Just tell them I'm going on a mission soon, and it might take a month or two. Then you won't be able to buy Baiyunbian within a hundred kilometers!"

Xu Ge nodded in agreement and asked curiously, "Commander, where are you going to carry out your mission?"

Why are you asking this? Don't ask questions you shouldn't!

"I meant to say that we're going to patrol the border in two weeks."

Xu Ge pointed to the west, "If you guys go over there too, we might bump into each other..."

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Old Wang pointed his finger at Xu Ge's nose through the railing. "What nonsense are you spouting, you little jinx? Spit it out right now!"

"Oh! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Xu Ge asked, puzzled, "Commander, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"You don't know anything! Hidden Wolves is an action squad, while you're a border rapid reaction force. You'd better never have any contact with each other again, understand? Get the hell out of here!"

Xu Ge nodded as if he understood, picked up the bag, turned around and took two steps, but then remembered something and came back.

"what happened again?"

"Sir, I'm here to buy cigarettes for our platoon leader."

Old Wang casually pulled two packs of cigarettes from the car and shoved them over: "Here, give one to Luo Shan and one to Liu Guoping!"

"Sir, I don't have that much money."

"for free."

Xu Ge immediately pointed to the car: "Then get me two more cans of Coke, a handful of potato chips, and a bag of sunflower seeds."

"You're robbing me?" Old Wang was so angry he laughed.

Xu Ge said with a serious expression, "Commander, didn't you say you were going to be gone for a long time? These things will expire!"

The wolf king pointed at the fence: "Come on, turn over, and I'll kill you!"

"Then I'll go back and tell the squad leader that you bullied me." Xu Ge turned to leave.

"Damn it! Come back here!" Old Wang yelled, "What else do you want? Just say it all at once, I have other things to do!"

"Also, let me remind you, you absolutely must not tell the old squad leader that I was the one who put the three of you into Class Nine!"

"Oh!"

. . .

. . .

Xu Ge returned carrying two large bags full of snacks and drinks, attracting everyone's attention along the way.

Luo Shan was sitting on the low wall chatting with Liu Guoping when he saw Xu Ge return. He was so shocked that he almost fell off the wall.

"What are you doing? I just asked you to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of water, and you went to buy more?"

Xu Ge struggled to put the bag down, and to the astonishment of the two men, he lit two packs of cigarettes and handed them over.

Liu Guoping looked wary: "What are you up to, kid? Openly offering bribes, huh?"

"Company Commander, it's free, someone gave it to you! One for each of you!" Xu Ge said, panting.

He was exhausted from the journey.

"A gift? Who gave it to you?"

Liu Guoping was taken aback upon hearing this. He immediately came over and rummaged through the other items in the bag. When he saw the two bottles of wine, he immediately looked up at the wall and asked, "Where is he?"

Xu Ge looked back, but Old Wang was no longer there.

Luo Shan opened a can of cola, took a sip, and asked curiously, "Company Commander, who is it?"

"A soldier who was once led by the old sergeant."

Liu Guoping casually remarked, glancing at Xu Ge, "You're just bringing this back like this? I'm afraid the old squad leader won't want it."

Xu Ge handed a bottle of cola to Liu Guoping: "Company Commander, he taught me how to talk to the old squad leader."

"Then go give it a try." Liu Guoping took out two more bags of sunflower seeds and pointed to the climbing building. "The old squad leader is on the third floor."

"Yes!"

Xu Ge carried the things over, and as soon as he got downstairs, Niu Sanxian and Liu Senlin rushed out.

"Holy crap, where did you get so many snacks, Dad Xu?"

"Come on, let me help you carry these. Oh, there are also Baiyunbian and Huanghelou. Are these for the deputy squad leader?"

Xu Ge nodded: "You can eat whatever you want, there's also yogurt and ice cream, the dates are very fresh!"

"I, Old Niu, swear to follow Father Xu to the death!"

"Me too!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the climbing building.

The building was actually a bare shell. As you went up the stairs, you could see large black marks on the walls of the corridors and some room doors. These were left by the gunpowder from blank cartridges.

Upon reaching the third floor, the largest room was found to be covered with newspapers. Guo Yuanshuai was lying on the floor with his legs crossed, while Su Liujun was sitting to the side playing on his phone.

How did you get up here?

Guo Yuanshuai sat up and looked at Xu Ge, "What is this?"

"Squad leader, this is cigarettes and alcohol that Wolf Head sent you," Xu Ge said truthfully.

Guo Yuanshuai's face darkened.

Su Liujun jumped to his feet, and Niu Sanxian and Liu Senlin glared at Xu Ge: "Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Where is he? Let's go beat him up!" Su Liujun said, turning to leave, with Niu Sanxian and Liu Senlin close behind. Xu Ge: ???
He was taken aback. Were these veterans really that brave? They were actually shouting that they wanted to go and beat up Wolf Head?
“He’s already gone!” Xu Ge quickly said.

Su Liujun peered out the window towards the wall: "Which direction? Have they gone far?"

Guo Yuanshuai said irritably, "So what if they haven't gone far? Are you going to jump down from here to chase after them?"

"We should still curse him a couple of times to disgust him!" Niu San spat first.

Guo Yuanshuai glared at Xu Ge: "Who told you to accept his things? Don't you know I get annoyed just hearing about him?"

“Squad leader, Wolf Head said he’s going out on a mission and it’ll probably be a long time. You won’t be able to buy this wine around here,” Xu Ge said.

"Squad leader, you've really finished your drink."

Niu San first opened a bag of potato chips and stuffed a handful into his mouth. "If you ask me, we'll accept the food, but I'll definitely beat him up next time we meet!"

"Look at your worthless bag!" Guo Yuanshuai rummaged through the bag. "You guys can deal with it yourselves, I don't want it."

"okay!"

The three readily agreed.

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge: "Aren't you going back to training? What are you standing here for?"

"Vice class leader, I'm the only one from our class running the obstacle course..." Xu Ge said softly, unwilling to leave.

"Where is Kaiyoumu?"

"He's practicing on another track by himself."

"Then why don't you just practice with him?"

"I need someone to give me commands, otherwise I won't be motivated to train!" Xu Ge stated his purpose. "It wouldn't be good if I went to Class 7 or Class 8..."

rub rub!
Before he could finish speaking, the three veterans vanished without a trace, along with the two bags of snacks.

Guo Yuanshuai was taken aback: "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'no one gives the command, no passion'?"

Xu Ge said, "Squad leader, I feel like I'm progressing too slowly these days when I'm practicing alone."

"Does finding someone to follow you guarantee faster progress?"

"OK!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge: "How fast can you run 400 meters now?"

Xu Ge: "Two and a half minutes."

"Isn't that still acceptable?"

"Squad leader, if someone gives me the command, I can run in under 2 minutes before the end of training today!"

"Are you sure?" Guo Yuanshuai became interested.

Xu Ge said firmly, "I'm sure!"

What if we can't reach it?

"If we can't run, we'll do whatever we want!"

Guo Yuanshuai thought for a moment: "Your sister-in-law will be coming over at the end of the year. If I find someone to give you the commands today, and you can't run within 2 minutes when it's time to finish the exercises, then you'll be a messenger in the family compound for a week."

Xu Ge didn't react for a moment: "My sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law?"

“That’s my wife,” Guo Yuanshuai said irritably.

Xu Ge suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "No problem!"

Guo Yuanshuai stood up: "Come on, I'll personally organize your training!"

"Squad leader, what if I run away?" Xu Ge quickly seized the opportunity to ask.

"So, you still want to take a gamble with me?" Guo Yuanshuai laughed. "Go ahead!"

Xu Ge: "Vice Squad Leader, if I run it within two minutes, everyone in our class will make me practice three times... no, five times!"

Guo Yuanshuai stared at Xu Ge for a while: "Let's bet!"

. . .

. . .

At 4:30 p.m., today's training was nearing its end.

Other platoons and squads have already started packing up their equipment and assembling into formation.

On the 400-meter obstacle course, all the students from Class 9 were standing on the sidelines. They already knew about the bet between their vice-class leader and Xu Ge.

Guo Yuanshuai sat on a high platform on another track with a stopwatch in hand, looking at Xu Ge, who was warming up.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Xu Ge arrived at the starting line of the 100-meter race, tucked his trouser legs together, and wore his hat backwards.

I glanced at the token; my obstacle skill had reached LV2.

Obstacle: LV2 (187/199).

At this moment, Xu Ge had a lot more knowledge about the 400-meter obstacle course and free climbing techniques in his mind. Combining these memories, he could deduce that he should have no problem running it in under 2 minutes at his current level.

Therefore, Xu Ge appeared very confident.

drop!
Guo Yuanshuai pressed the stopwatch and, without further ado, said, "Start!"

rub!
Xu Ge immediately darted out and began sprinting on the first 100-meter track.

On the sidelines, Su Liujun was the first to notice something was wrong.

"Damn! I'm starting to panic! Looking at Xu Ge's 100-meter speed, I have a feeling the squad leader is going to lose?"

Wang Lin: "What's the rush? Let's talk about it after we start over the obstacles... Holy crap!"

As he spoke, Xu Ge had already smoothly crossed the five-step stake.

Liu Senlin analyzed carefully: "Judging from this running style, as long as his stamina can keep up, he should win."

Kaiyumu: "Xu Ge's physical fitness is fine; he was second only to me in basic training."

"Then we're doomed to lose?" Niu San looked at Li Dongshui first. "Shui, what does Xu Ge mean by 'training'? He's not going to make us run five obstacle courses, is he?"

Li Dongshui shook his head: "No, he's just shouting commands for fun. At most, he'll make you salute or do push-ups or something."

"That's good, that's good!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

drop!
When Xu Ge crossed the finish line, Guo Yuanshuai also pressed the stopwatch.

"How's it going? How far did you run?"

Apart from Li Dongshui asking a question, the veterans remained silent.

These four were all known as warriors or fierce men, so they naturally knew the outcome just by feeling.

Guo Yuanshuai jumped off the high board with a calm expression: "1 minute and 56 seconds, Xu Ge won. Come on, everyone, come and gather around!"

The veterans stood silently in a row, and Xu Ge ran over, panting, grinning.

How do you plan to train them?

"Let's do five push-ups, but I have to give you the commands for each one."

"Alright, let's get started then."

Xu Ge looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad leader, you're joining the ranks too?"

"You bastard..." Guo Yuanshuai retorted, "My back hurts, I'll never be able to bend over again!"

Xu Ge got anxious: "Deputy squad leader, you said you'd accept the consequences of your bet!"

"If I can't do it, just kill him!"

"Deputy squad leader, once your wife arrives, I promise you I'll work as a communications officer in the family compound for a week."

“That’s fine!” Guo Yuanshuai immediately and nimbly went to the front of the line.

Xu Ge was somewhat speechless, but with universal skill points readily available, he didn't care whether the deal was profitable or not, and excitedly shouted:

"Everyone, listen to the command, push-ups ready!"

"what!"

The veterans cooperated, shouting in unison and dropping to the ground with perfect form.
