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

Chapter 247 It's because you Wolf Brigade are easy to bully!
(The background information on the veteran special forces members has been repeatedly rejected. All you need to know is that they were all transferred from a particularly elite unit in the past.)
"Thank you monitor!"

"Don't mention it! Good luck, and I wish you the best of luck in winning the championship!"

"Yeah! Come on!"

At the entrance of the training base, Xu Ge waved to the driver and carried his luggage through the gate.

The sentry came out with a registration book and asked, "Comrade, are you here to participate in the skills competition training?"

"Yes!"

"Please register. What's your name? Which organization do you work for?"

"Xu Ge, logistics station."

The sentry paused for a moment: "Logistics guy, wait a minute, let me check."

The sentry returned to the post and searched the roster for a while before coming out and saying, "Oh, you've been assigned to the Wolf Brigade detachment. Just go to the dormitory and report to their detachment leader, Zheng Tiannan."

Xu Ge asked, "Squad leader, where are the Wolf Brigade's dormitories?"

"I'm not sure either, but it's in the area around the dormitory building."

The sentry turned his head and pointed to several figures training on the obstacle course, saying, "Ask them, they should know."

"it is good."

Xu Ge continued walking inside.

The closest area to the entrance is the 400-meter obstacle course, where about seven or eight people are currently running obstacles.

Although it was early spring, the temperature in Night City was still quite low, but all of these people were shirtless and drenched in sweat.

Xu Ge's obstacle skills had reached LV4, making it easy for him to tell that these people were all experts.

Because he couldn't do many of the other person's obstacle course maneuvers!
Not only could he not do it, but he had never even seen many of the moves before!
For example, when Xu Ge was in the Wolf Brigade, everyone would step onto the high platform first and then jump down. But these people treated the high platform as a low wall and jumped over it with their hands.

The consequence of doing this is that the body will have to withstand a considerable impact upon landing, but these people clearly don't care about these things and only pursue speed.

This involves training philosophy, which is not easy to categorize as right or wrong.

Actually, this action is nothing special. The most outrageous thing is that when these people go over the high wall, they all push off the board and then leap over it in the air. Some people even push off the wall again before coming down to accelerate down!
To be honest, this action is fast, but it is quite dangerous. A slight mistake could result in a fall and injury.

After watching for only a short while, Xu Ge guessed the identities of these people with completely different training methods: they were from the special operations brigade.

Just then, two people who had just finished running were resting on the side. Xu Ge immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hello, squad leaders! Could you tell me how to get to the Wolf Brigade's dormitory?"

"Wolf Pack?"

Upon hearing this, the two men began to look Xu Ge up and down. One of them, who had a buzz cut, said with a half-smile, "Another private? Looks like your Wolf Brigade really has no one left."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
He never expected that simply asking for directions would result in him being mocked for no reason.

What's going on? Do these people have a grudge against the Wolf Brigade?

"Squad leader, did the Wolf Brigade offend you?" Xu Ge asked.

The man with the buzz cut laughed: "It's not about offending you, I just simply don't like the look of you guys. What, you have a problem with that?"

Xu Ge frowned.

He hadn't seen such an arrogant person in a long time.

"Hey, you look pretty unhappy, huh?" The man with the buzz cut flexed all his muscles and walked up to Xu Ge. "Want to have a go? I just beat up one of your Sky Wolves' newbies this morning."

Xu Ge was speechless. "Damn, is this guy crazy?"

He now suspects that this guy is deliberately picking a fight, but he doesn't know why yet.

Could it be that the Wolf Brigade members really had some kind of conflict with them?
However, since the other party dared to call the people of Sirius rookies, they must be very confident in their own abilities.

Was it torture?

What do you mean?
Have the two sides already clashed?
"Forget it, Wu Jun, why are you arguing with a second-year soldier? If word gets out, people will laugh at our special forces for bullying the weak!"

Another person next to him spoke up, looking at Xu Ge and pointing to the third dormitory building above, "Your dormitory is over there, go ahead."

"Thank you!"

Xu Ge didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

. . .

. . .

With Xu Ge's current hearing, he can easily detect any slightly loud noise within 50 meters, so he knew where the Wolf Brigade was as soon as he got to the first floor.

Hearing Yuan Chuan's complaints from inside the room, Xu Ge pushed the door open and went in: "It's not good to talk bad about people behind their backs. Who said I came here to gain experience?"

The room fell silent for a moment, everyone staring blankly at the figure with a backpack standing in the doorway.

Xu Ge glanced around and thought, "Wow, most of them are acquaintances."

The next moment, the whole room erupted in chaos. Everyone stood up, and Zhou Meng was the first to rush over: "Holy crap! Xu Ge! What are you doing here?! Are you cured?"

"Alright!" Xu Ge chuckled and punched Zhou Meng lightly. "Sorry, I punched you twice last time."

Zhou Meng was so excited he was almost incoherent: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt! Hahaha! That's great, that's great!"

Yuan Chuan stared wide-eyed at Xu Ge: "No, you're the logistics staff member?"

Xu Ge nodded: "Yes."

"Fuck!"

The expressions on everyone's faces were priceless.

"So that's why we assigned a logistics staff member to our dorm! Turns out it was you!"

"Damn it, I was hoping to get a good ranking in the shooting event this time, but now I'm just like Zhou Meng, here for exchange and learning!"

"Xu Ge, where have you been all this time? How did you end up as a logistics staff member?"

Xu Ge greeted Zheng Tiannan and the others one by one, and explained, "I went to the Sweetwater Naval Station to recuperate. Now that I'm almost fully recovered, I might as well participate in the grand competition."

Zhou Meng took Xu Ge's backpack off and led him to the innermost part of the room, where Yuan Chuan quickly took off his own bag.

"I'll be sleeping on the top bunk, right?"

Xu Ge asked casually, and Wang Long, who was standing next to him, shuddered and quickly said, "If you want to sleep in the lower bunk, we can switch!"

You can't blame Wang Long for being a coward. He had seen the wound on Li Dongshui's thigh. Compared to that, Xu Ge had clearly gone easy on him during the recruit training.

Xu Ge shook his head: "Switching back and forth is too much trouble, I'll just sleep on top."

He tossed his backpack onto the upper bunk above Chen Wei's head, glanced down at Chen Wei's dark military uniform, and laughed: "How was your trip to Tianlang?"

Chen Wei pursed his lips: "It's just so-so... By the way, weren't you selected too? When are you coming over?"

Xu Ge climbed into bed and began tidying the bedding: "I guess I won't go."

"Damn, your Sixth Company clearly selected three, but now there's not a single one in the Sky Wolf..." Chen Wei suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence and quickly shut up.

The dormitory fell silent again, and Zheng Tiannan and the others who had participated in the selection with Xu Ge all looked dejected.

Everyone thought of Kaiyumu.

Zhou Meng's eyes immediately reddened: "The squad leader was so good to me when we were in basic training..."

"Xu Ge, I'm so sorry!"

Suddenly, Yuan Chuan spoke up from below, "If we hadn't been stopped by the flash flood that night, Kaiyoumu wouldn't have..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Ge waved his hand to interrupt, not wanting to continue the topic. He sniffed the air and asked, "Who's been applying safflower oil?"

"It's me," Chen Wei replied from below.

"What happened?"

"Well, I had a little sparring session with their special operations team this morning," Chen Wei recounted the story.

"So you were the 'Tianlang rookie' they were talking about who they beat up?" Xu Ge realized.

Chen Wei: I'm so pissed off...

Zheng Tiannan walked over: "Xu Ge, did you run into them when you came?"

"Yeah, they were really hostile when they heard I was from the Wolf Brigade," Xu Ge asked, puzzled. "Do you guys have some kind of grudge against them?"

"They act like bodybuilding coaches all the time, we can't be bothered with them, who the hell would go looking for trouble with them?"

Chen Wei said irritably, "But these guys are so shameless. There are other empty venues, but they insist on taking ours!"

Xu Ge frowned: "I also feel like they're deliberately picking a fight. What's going on?"

Zheng Tiannan said in a deep voice, "I think they want to become famous by stepping on our Tianlang!"

Xu Ge was taken aback at first, but then he felt that what Zheng Tiannan said might be the truth. Otherwise, why would he want to make trouble for the Wolf Brigade for no reason?

"You arrived early. What do you think of the strength of these people in the special operations brigade?" Xu Ge asked.

Chen Wei said, "I don't know about anything else, but the guy I competed against ran the 400-meter obstacle course in 1 minute and 21 seconds."

Xu Ge was taken aback: "So fast?!"

Wang Long thought for a moment and said, "Their climbing skills are also amazing. They can climb up four stories without using their legs by grabbing the rope!"

"Don't you use your legs to pull? Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Xu Ge jumped down, took out a cigarette and lit it around, then sat on Chen Wei's bed and frowned, saying, "When I came here, I watched them run the 400-meter obstacle course for a while. They were all running like madmen!"

Zhou Meng handed Xu Ge a can of drink and asked worriedly, "Does this mean we won't get a place this time?"

Chen Wei first asked Zheng Tiannan if he could smoke in the dormitory. After receiving permission, he lit Xu Ge's cigarette and said, "I don't know about other things, but at least with Xu Ge here, the rapid shooting event should be no problem."

Xu Ge looked around and found that most of the 20-plus people in the dormitory were members of the Sky Wolf. He said in a deep voice, "I don't know how strong they are in combat, but we are definitely at a disadvantage in events like the Grand Competition."

Actually, there were some things he didn't say explicitly.

Sirius, and indeed the entire Wolf Brigade, emphasizes real combat, and their training focuses on tactical coordination, close-quarters combat, and comprehensive shooting.

The special operations brigade gave him the impression that they were training for a competition.

To put it bluntly, one emphasizes practical application while the other emphasizes performance; these are two different styles.

However, the grand competition is a contest, and the judging criteria are the performance data of each subject.

“Non-combat casualties are a major incident in our Wolf Brigade, but I heard that they have casualty targets in their training!”

Zheng Tiannan's face was grim. "Winning will be very difficult. We can only make a last-minute push during this training period."

. . .

. . .

The group army's grand competition is scheduled for early April, which is about two weeks away.

It was also the first time in eight months that Xu Ge had trained with others. After half a day, he knew that the gap between them had indeed widened.

Let's not even talk about Zheng Tiannan, Chen Wei, and others who participated in the Tianlang selection together back then.

They have all been official members of Sirius for more than half a year. Xu Ge can now only outperform them in rapid shooting and their physical fitness is about the same, but he has fallen behind in other aspects.

Even Zhou Meng, a fellow soldier from the same year, has gradually shown his talent after this period of training, and is also one of the few privates first class in this competition.

Looking back, Xu Ge was far ahead of all his fellow recruits.

However, Xu Ge's mindset is now more mature than when he was a recruit. He doesn't feel frustrated at all; on the contrary, he is more motivated.

So what if we fall behind? We'll catch up again!

However, with only two weeks left until the grand competition, even practicing day and night probably wouldn't increase skill proficiency much; we'd need to use cheat codes.

He still has two more opportunities to take on the military challenge, one at level E and one at level C.

Xu Ge plans to find an opportunity during this period to complete one task to obtain a reward, and it must be a challenge of D level or higher!

Before coming here, Xu Ge had thought that there would be a gap between himself and the other contestants, but he did not expect the gap to be so big.

Previously, he was one of the best in the company in obstacle course, tactics and climbing, but now, not to mention others, even Zhou Meng's 400-meter obstacle course has caught up with him.

During the first two days of training, Xu Ge carefully observed most of the athletes and found that his current LV4 beginner level 4 400-meter obstacle and climbing level was likely to be at the bottom.

Those seeded players have even reached LV5 level!

Especially Wu Jun, who provoked him on the first day, this guy did have the confidence to be arrogant, and it can basically be said that he has already secured first place in the 400-meter obstacle course.

That's why the reward for an E-level challenge is just a drop in the bucket for Xu Ge, it's completely ineffective, and even a D-level reward isn't guaranteed!

Fortunately, all military orders can be challenged at a higher level. He could use up one of his E-level opportunities but choose to confirm a more difficult challenge.

The only problem now is to find a suitable challenge that can be completed in a short period of time.

That afternoon, at the shooting range at the very back of the base, Xu Ge had just finished several sets of shooting and was chatting with Zhou Meng when a few shirtless guys came over.

"Hey, you guys can get out of here now, we need the shooting range," Wu Jun said to Zheng Tiannan, who was loading bullets into a magazine.

Zheng Tiannan frowned: "We've only just started fighting, and we haven't even used up a whole box of bullets."

"What does this have to do with me? I just spoke with the battalion commander, and he said we should coordinate things at the firing range ourselves. You can go practice other events," Wu Jun said calmly.

Chen Wei's face darkened: "It's not just our unit training at the firing range right now. People from the field division and the air defense brigade are here too. What right do you have to make us leave? Do you think we Wolf Brigade members are pushovers?"

Wu Jun sneered: "That's right, it's because you're easy to bully!"
