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

Chapter 138 Dealing with the White Tiger Again! Do you want to become an observer like me?

On Saturday morning, Xu Ge took Li Dongshui to the military dog ​​unit again.

In the courtyard, Du Hu was sitting in the sun, while Xiao Siquan lay lazily at his feet.

"Squad leader, where are the others? Where are the puppies?" Xu Ge asked as he entered and looked at the empty kennel.

"They went for their check-up and vaccinations, they won't be back until this afternoon. You just need to cook for Baihu today." Du Hu pointed to the kennel. "I've already washed the vegetables, you can clean the kennel first."

Li Dongshui entered the room familiarly, brought out a chair, and then took out beef jerky and sunflower seeds from his coat pocket. Xiao Siquan immediately got up, and the two of them and the dog ate snacks and sunflower seeds while watching Xu Ge work.

After Xu Ge finished cleaning the kennel, he saw that the floor was covered with sunflower seed shells and cursed, "Li Dongshui, you sweep the floor later! We came here to help the squad leader, and you're acting like a big shot!"

"What are you pretending for? Everyone knows you're trying to hit on Baihu again. Do you even see Baihu paying attention to you?"

As Li Dongshui spoke, she fed a piece of beef jerky to Xiao Siquan, "Right, right, White Tiger?"

"Woof!"

The little dog munched on beef jerky, shaking its head as it glanced at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge laughed in exasperation: "White Tiger, what kind of look is that? Do you still want me to cook for you?"

The little dog remained silent and continued to rub against Li Dongshui's leg, begging for beef jerky.

Xu Ge was about to enter the kitchen when he noticed several round, sealed containers piled up against the wall. Curious, he went over to examine them.

As he got closer, he could smell a subtle aroma emanating from each container.

"Squad leader, what are these things for?" Xu Ge asked curiously.

Du Hu: "That's a tool I specifically used to train the white tiger to track scents, don't break it!"

"You're using this to train the white tiger to track scents? It's useless, isn't it?" Xu Ge then picked up another one. "This is filled with pepper, right? Even I can smell it."

Du Hu was taken aback, then immediately sat up straight: "Really? Smell the rest again."

Xu Ge picked them up one by one: "This one contains vinegar, this one contains chicken bouillon, this one contains sugar, and this one is... Holy crap! It stinks! Squad leader, what's in this?"

The smell from the last container made Xu Ge feel nauseous, but he couldn't tell what it was.

As his sniffing skills reached an advanced level, Xu Ge's sense of smell, hearing, night vision, and ability to capture motion became increasingly stronger.

Just like these round jars, he can smell the aroma inside as soon as he gets close.

However, he also discovered a problem: as his sense of smell improved, the amount of olfactory information he received every day became increasingly vast, and his brain had unconsciously begun to automatically filter and select it.

For example, he can recognize some familiar or familiar smells from a distance, but he will ignore unfamiliar smells unless he specifically searches for or consciously tries to capture them.

The last jar had the strongest smell, but because he wasn't familiar with it, he didn't smell it immediately.

"Oh, the last jar contains other trainers' socks." Du Hu stood up and walked over.

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"You can really smell it?" Du Hu picked up the jar, held it under his nose, and sniffed it carefully. "I think there's no problem?"

Xu Ge: "Squad leader, it's normal that you can't smell it. The white tiger can definitely smell it. Using this to train it is completely useless!"

"No wonder it always finds its way back no matter how far I throw it. It seems the seal wasn't tight enough!"

Du Hu picked up the jar and went into the room. "I'll re-tack it with tape. You go and cook."

Xu Ge went into the kitchen and poked his head out a moment later: "Does anyone want steamed eggs today?"

"Wang!"

The little dog suddenly sprang up from beside Li Dongshui's feet.

Xu Ge waved his hand: "Come and help if you want to eat."

After hesitating for a while, the little dog finally walked over slowly.

Xu Ge closed the kitchen door with a sly grin.

When Du Hu finished his work and came out of the room, he found that there was no one in the yard, only a bowl of steaming dog food and a little Si Quan lying to the side with a wronged look on his face.

"Why didn't those two say goodbye before leaving?"

Du Hu walked over. "White Tiger, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

"嘤嘤!"

The little dog whimpered twice and listlessly began to eat.

Du Hu was taken aback when he saw Bai Hu's appearance: "That bastard tormented you again?"

The white tiger's mouth twitched, making it look even more pitiful.

Du Hu was furious and immediately chased after them to the door, only to see two figures already running far away on the road.

"Xu Ge, you bastard, if you dare come here again, I'll break your legs! I'm not called Du Hu, I'll change my name to Du Gou..."

Two hundred meters away, Li Dongshui, who was being pulled along by Xu Ge, stopped and looked back: "Is the squad leader calling us?"

"No, you misheard. Hurry up and leave!"

"I clearly heard someone shouting."

"Oh, he yelled at you for not sweeping the floor after eating sunflower seeds, and said he'd break your legs!"

"I don't believe it. You must have gotten into trouble again, otherwise you wouldn't have been in such a hurry to pull me away!"

"Don't believe me? Go back and try it."

Xu Ge hurried on his way, feeling a pang of regret as he looked at the skill values ​​on the token.

Sniffing: Advanced (48/50).

The little white tiger could be upgraded to Special Grade with just two more attempts, but this guy just won't pay any attention to me.

However, Xu Ge was quite satisfied to feel that his perception had improved to a new level.

. . .

. . .

The weather is nice today, quite sunny and breezy.

Although it was winter, the sun was dazzling. Both of them were wearing military overcoats when they went out, but after walking for a while, they felt a bit hot and unbuttoned their coats. When they were almost at the camp gate, Xu Ge's ears twitched, and he suddenly stopped and turned around.

A short while later, a Prado came into view.

“Hey, this looks like Uncle Wang’s car!” Li Dongshui said.

Xu Ge said irritably, "Did I forget to tell you? Your Uncle Wang is Wolf Head?"

Li Dongshui stared in disbelief: "Huh?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? You said last time that you'd fight me to smash the wolf's head, you can't go back on your word!"

The two were talking when, squeak! The SUV pulled up to the side of the road.

The car window rolled down, revealing Thor and Xu Can, dressed in military uniform, inside.

Thor didn't speak. Xu Can came down carrying two large bags of gifts, looking at Xu Ge with a complicated expression: "Xu Ge, are you still angry with me?"

"Uh... I... um..." Xu Ge was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Yes, he was embarrassed.

After he lost his temper with Xu Can at the hospital last time, he was severely reprimanded by Guo Yuanshuai for a long time.

In fact, Xu Ge later realized that blaming Xu Can was somewhat unreasonable.

But he was really out of control at the time. It was the first time he had encountered someone close to him being hurt, and he had no idea how to deal with it. He subconsciously found someone to vent his anger on.

"I was just discharged from the hospital today. Is the old squad leader here? I'd like to come and see him." Seeing Xu Ge hesitate, Xu Can changed the subject and asked.

Xu Ge was shocked. Xu Can had been hospitalized for so long; it seemed his injuries were quite severe.

Just as he was about to answer, Thor spoke up: "Li Dongshui, take Xu Can inside. I need to talk to Xu Ge about something."

"Oh, okay!" Li Dongshui took the things from Xu Can's hands and led him into the camp.

Thor beckoned to Xu Ge: "Get in the car, let's talk."

Xu Ge got into the passenger seat and sat there without saying a word.

Thor glanced at him and said calmly, "What, you don't even bother to call me Chief Instructor when we meet? You're not even willing to call me cousin anymore?"

Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "Happy New Year, cousin!"

Calling him "Chief Instructor" makes him think of Thor as one of the Hidden Wolves, and thinking of the Hidden Wolves makes him think of what Wolf Head said that day, which makes him unhappy.

"How's it going lately? I saw Li Dongshui at your regiment's sniper training class last time. Why didn't you go?" Thor asked with a smile.

Xu Ge pouted: "Cousin, you know my marksmanship is terrible. All I'm good at is drawing my gun quickly... Oh, by the way, isn't there a guy named Chen Wei in the sniper training class who's really fast?"

"Li Dongshui told you, right? That's right, his speed is comparable to yours, but he's much more accurate!" Thor replied.

Xu Ge turned his head and looked at Thor seriously: "Cousin, you said last time that you were the fastest man in the whole brigade, were you bragging?"

Thor was unhappy: "When have I ever boasted?"

Xu Ge: "When you first came to the shooting range and took down the banner on the snow-capped mountain, wasn't that..."

"Stop!" Thor lit a cigarette to cover his embarrassment. "You're asking me if this is the fastest thing to do?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking."

Xu Ge actually wanted to confirm one thing: what level he could reach after raising his rapid-fire skill to the master level.

"Cousin, are you faster than a wolf's head?"

The way Wolf Head said the squad leader wasn't fast enough in the ward last time probably showed he was very confident in his own shooting speed.

Thor exhaled a puff of smoke: "Let me put it this way, my gun-drawing moves were all taught by Wolf Head, but we haven't sparred since we fought to a draw three years ago."

Xu Ge nodded, feeling more confident.

If I reach Thor's master level, I'll definitely have a chance to defeat Wolf Head.

When the time comes, he'll find a way to become the new wolf leader and change this set of moves, just to infuriate that guy!

"By the way, cousin, what did you want to see me about?" Xu Ge asked, snapping out of his reverie.

“I’ve seen your commendation report. Li Dongshui and the others were awarded individual third-class merits, but you only received a collective second-class merit. What are your thoughts?” Thor looked at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge remained calm: "What could I possibly think? They've already killed the enemy; isn't it normal for them to earn merit?"

"Really no ideas?"

"Really not!"

Thor stared at Xu Ge for a while, and when he realized that the kid really didn't care, he couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Ge asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Thor didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you ever heard the saying that a two-person sniper team is equivalent to a special forces unit?"

Xu Ge shook his head. He had never heard of this before, and he was also curious as to why Thor would suddenly say this.

"A two-person sniper team consists of a sniper and a spotter. The sniper is responsible for sniping high-value targets, while the spotter is responsible for everything except firing, including but not limited to locating the target, providing firing parameters, protecting the sniper, planning the retreat route, and so on!"

"This requires the spotter to have a wide range of skills. It is said that a two-person sniper team is equivalent to a special forces unit, but this is mainly reflected in the all-around spotter."

“An excellent sniper, like Old Face, can indeed complete solo sniping missions in most situations, but when faced with complex, dangerous, and highly difficult missions, he also needs me by his side!”

"But in most people's eyes, the sniper's brilliance is dazzling because he is the one who makes the kill, but few people realize that the spotter is the most important one."

Xu Ge listened intently; it was the first time he had gained such a deep understanding of the concept of an observer.

Thor suddenly pointed to himself: "I am currently the top spotter in the country, bar none!"

Xu Ge was shocked. The confidence and domineering aura with which Thor spoke left no room for doubt.

"Xu Ge, do you want to become a top-notch observer like me?"

Thor's next question completely stumped Xu Ge.
