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

Chapter 351 The First Warrior! (4.5K)

After Chen Wei and his group of five arrived at the finish line, Xu Ge called them aside.

First, he reminded the five people to be wary of the possible underhanded tactics the Motorized Infantry Group might make in the upcoming projects, and then he explained his own plans.

"Holy crap! He broke the army group's record? Is Zou Jun that good?"

All five were taken aback. Zheng Tiannan frowned and said, "So, he really is here for the number one warrior!"

"Damn it, I was wondering why that guy was deliberately mocking us like he was crazy!"

Chen Wei's face darkened, and he spat, "That's too despicable! Goubao, your method is excellent! We should repay them in kind!"

Xu Ge nodded: "Then it's settled. When it's time for target practice, remember not to rush to shoot and don't let me influence you."

The five nodded: "Don't worry, it won't happen!"

After the 10-kilometer armed cross-country run, all the participants rested for half an hour before starting the second event: climbing and indoor tactics.

As expected, Zou Jun performed exceptionally well in this event, which the Sirius team excels at. His overall time was less than three seconds slower than Xu Ge's, and even surpassed Zheng Tiannan's.

This immediately made Xu Ge feel a sense of crisis, and he dared not let his guard down any longer.

During lunch, Xu Ge also spoke with Yang Shaojie, reminding them to be wary of the motorized infantry regiment.

Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian, as support staff for the Warriors Competition, have access to see the current performance of each competitor.

"One good news and one bad news, which should we hear first?"

Before the afternoon project started, Niu San first found Xu Ge.

"What's the good news?"

"General Gu and his team haven't left yet. They had lunch at the brigade headquarters. If they come to watch the game again this afternoon, the first-class merit award is practically a done deal!"

Xu Ge: "And the bad news?"

Niu Sanxian: "You and Zou Jun are both currently top ten seeded athletes. Although your climbing time is higher than his, he has the advantage of breaking the 10km record. If you don't perform better in the next event, it's still uncertain who will win or lose."

Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "The 400-meter obstacle course and tactics in the afternoon are separate events, so they shouldn't have a chance to pull any tricks. I'm quite confident."

Niu San nodded and said with a smile, "Then it's a sure thing. You'll definitely come out on top in both shooting events. Just do your best and show them what's what. I'll be waiting to tell my aunt the good news!"

"necessary!"

. . .

. . .

Da da da!
Da da da!
The afternoon competition continued, with gunfire erupting at the outdoor tactical training ground and shooting range.

On a small hill not far from the firing range, several tables had already been moved to a shady spot under the trees.

The big shots were watching the contestants' performance below with binoculars in hand, while Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian were serving tea and water.

"I've watched quite a few martial arts competitions, but the Wolf Brigade's Warriors Tournament is still the most exciting to watch!"

Gu Yefei seemed to be in a good mood. "I love seeing warriors with that murderous aura! Hahaha! Feng Xue, you've trained some really good soldiers, brigade commander!"

"General Gu, in the end, it's all thanks to your and Political Commissar Zhao's excellent leadership! I've been training the troops exactly according to the army group's instructions!"

Zhang Fengxue, naturally not wanting to spoil the fun, immediately clapped her hands.

Gu Yefei laughed heartily, put down his binoculars, and pointed at Zhang Fengxue: "You rascal, when did you learn to flatter?"

Zhang Fengxue immediately said seriously, "General Manager Gu, I'm telling the truth! You are the idol of the soldiers! Look at them, knowing that you are watching the game, they all wish they could crawl through several trenches on the tactical field!"

"You, you, you!"

Gu Yefei was both amused and exasperated. "So you were waiting for me all this time? Fine! The headquarters will award you this first-class merit!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him instantly perked up, and Zhang Fengxue grinned from ear to ear.

"It seems you have a deep affection for the Wolf Brigade. Even though you're about to take up your post at headquarters, you still haven't forgotten to help them get military merits."

Gu Yefei joked again, then, as if remembering something, asked, "By the way, I heard the political commissar say that the acting brigade commander of the Wolf Brigade hasn't been decided yet? Didn't I ask you to recommend someone?"

Zhang Fengxue: "General Manager Gu, please let me off the hook with this big problem! Don't let it get to the ears of the military leaders, and they'll say I'm forming cliques right after being awarded my rank! That would be terrible!"

"Recommending talent is a fine tradition of our army. How did it become forming cliques in your mouth?"

Gu Yefei said irritably, "Some things do require avoiding suspicion, but how can this be the same? You've been in the Wolf Brigade for so many years, if you don't appoint a general, are you going to parachute someone in from the military headquarters or the army group? I'm afraid you'll end up tearing the headquarters down!"

"Hehehe! How could that be, Mr. Gu!" Zhang Fengxue continued to laugh.

"How about Wang Lai?"

Gu Yefei suddenly asked, "I saw the political department's evaluation, and he and Regiment Commander Fu Qiang got the highest scores."

Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian, who were standing behind, exchanged a glance and simultaneously curled their lips.

They genuinely disliked Lao Wang from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Guo Yuanshuai knew in his heart that if he really had to choose between Lao Wang and the regimental commander, his squad leader would most likely choose Lao Wang.

Although both of them were his direct subordinates, Old Wang was slightly better in terms of ability and prestige.

"Let's forget about Wang Lai," Zhang Fengxue gave an answer that surprised everyone.

Gu Yefei looked puzzled: "Why?"

Zhang Fengxue gestured to Guo Yuanshuai to pour tea for Gu Yefei, saying, "He's a disabled person, which is bad for the Wolf Brigade's image. He's not even a tenth as handsome as me!"

Guo Yuanshuai, who was pouring water for Gu Yefei, almost spilled it because his hand trembled.

Niu Sanxian tried hard to suppress his laughter from behind.

No one expected Zhang Fengxue to give such a seemingly joking reason.

"absurd!"

Gu Yefei glared at him. "So what if someone is disabled? Who said disabled people can't be commanding officers? Wang Lai is a combat hero! Ding Xiaobing from the XX unit is missing an arm, but he still led his troops very well, didn't he?"

"That's because their superiors have the support. I heard that the leaders of the XX unit withstood a lot of pressure!"

"Our headquarters can still provide support and withstand the pressure..."

Gu Yefei suddenly realized what he was talking about, and gave Zhang Fengxue a deep look. Zhang Fengxue smiled but remained silent.

They've all been through the wringer in the military for decades, so they understand things very quickly.

Gu Yefei didn't find Zhang Fengxue's tactic of feigning retreat offensive; in fact, she was reminding him and the headquarters.

When Wang comes up, there will definitely be different opinions from all directions.

If the command wants the best talent, then it must be prepared to withstand the pressure.

"Fengxue, actually your Wolf Brigade has the best talent pool! One generation after another, there's never a shortage of capable leaders, even our headquarters envies that! When you take up your post as Chief of Staff, the Political Commissar and I will definitely have to learn from you!"

"I will resolutely obey the leadership of General Gu and the Political Commissar!"

Those around them, including Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian, were completely bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind the conversation between General Gu and the brigade commander.

"Haha! Let's keep watching the game!"

Gu Yefei picked up the binoculars again and changed the subject, looking at Luo Jian beside him, "Old Luo, what have you been looking at for so long?"

Luo Jian laughed: "President Gu, I think this first-class merit award should already be claimed!"

Gu Yefei became interested: "Oh, how so?"

"Look at that number 007, I've been following him closely. He performed exceptionally well in both obstacle and tactical events."

"Aren't there still two rounds of shooting? You're already drawing conclusions?"

"General Manager Gu, you don't know, but in the last army group competition, this guy's shooting was so fast and accurate that he defeated Chen Tao and broke the record!"

Gu Yefei was taken aback and immediately looked through the binoculars as well. "Oh! Private First Class?! Wait, that's not right, I was there during the competition, why didn't I see this soldier?"

Luo Jian glanced at Zhang Fengxue and said with a regretful expression, "He withdrew halfway through and went back early to participate in the Hidden Wolf selection."

"Then I'd like to see for myself!"

Gu Yefei immediately guessed Xu Ge's identity and said with a smile, "Even if you're Old Master Lin's youngest son-in-law, it won't be so easy for you to get a first-class merit from me!"

As they were talking, the next group of competitors arrived at the shooting range to prepare for the 200-meter stationary target event.

"Load bullets while prone!"

With the starter's command, the big shots on the hillside all turned their attention to contestant number 007.

Sudden.

Da da da da da!
Da da da da da!
A burst of rapid and intense gunfire erupted without warning.

The big shots' expressions immediately changed, and Luo Jian exclaimed "Holy crap!" His first thought was that a training accident had occurred!
"How is this going?"

Gu Yefei glared at Zhang Fengxue, his face dark. "Isn't this supposed to be single-shot shooting? How does your Wolf Brigade organize a competition? How could the Hidden Wolves make such a basic mistake?"

Zhang Fengxue remained calm and said, "President Gu, didn't Vice President Luo just say that Xu Ge's firing rate is very fast? He is indeed firing single shots."

"What's the use of speed? Who shoots like that during target practice? I think the other competitors were all shocked by him!"

Gu Yefei still frowned, "What kind of results can we expect from playing like this?"

Zhang Fengxue didn't answer. Instead, she looked at the targets on the shooting range, picked up the walkie-talkie, and asked, "How many rings did you get on target number 2?"

The target reporter immediately replied, "Report! Target number 2 hit the bullseye on all ten shots, 100 rings!"

hiss! ! !
On the hillside, someone gasped in surprise.

Gu Yefei's expression immediately brightened, and he laughed loudly, "Good heavens! This kid is going to show off his amazing skills in front of me, Old Gu! He's really impressed me! Feng Xue, did you arrange this on purpose?"

Zhang Fengxue immediately shook her head: "President Gu, really not. Xu Ge is known for his quick draws."

Gu Yefei then looked at Luo Jian: "Old Luo, I believe you now. You really are fast and accurate!"

Luo Jian looked annoyed: "President Gu, please stop talking. The more you talk, the more I regret letting Xu Ge go!"

. . .

. . .

Let's rewind to two minutes earlier.

Xu Ge carried his gun to the second firing position at the shooting range and, at the starter's command, lay down on the ground to load bullets.

"I heard that the people from Tianlang are all very accurate shooters?" Zou Jun's voice came from the target number one next door.

Xu Ge turned his head: "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I was just telling you that I'll show you what real accuracy is in a moment!"

Zou Jun sneered, "I have a record of getting 300 rings in 30 consecutive shots. Don't cry when you lose!"

"The contestants are not allowed to speak! Fire on your own after loading your bullets!" the officer next to him announced.

Xu Ge calmly continued loading bullets, then glanced at Chen Wei and Wang Long to his right, and both of them nodded at him.

"Even at a time like this, you still haven't forgotten to try and psychologically interfere with me, huh? Fine, let's see who cries!" Xu Ge thought to himself.

Guo Yuanshuai told him that the method was to use his speed advantage to forcibly interfere with Zou Jun when shooting at targets.

Zou Jun's actions just now really angered Xu Ge, and he was no longer going to hold back.

After loading the bullets, Xu Ge positioned his gun but did not rush to fire. Instead, he listened intently to the movements on Zou Jun's side. The other two Tianlang players also remained still.

With Xu Ge's current shooting skills, he can already ensure accurate hits on targets within 200 meters.

And this is all while maintaining the rate of fire.

Click!

The sound of a bullet being chambered came from the chamber, and Xu Ge knew that Zou Jun was preparing to fire, so he immediately put his finger on the trigger as well.

With his hearing turned up to the maximum, he quickly picked up the faint sound of the trigger being pressed on the left.

The 200-meter shooting test requires accuracy and is a single-shot operation, so athletes will use the safest method of slowly pulling the trigger.

The trigger makes a spring-like sound when pressed, but most people can't hear it.

Xu Ge could not only hear, but also judge Zou Jun's firing timing based on the volume of the sound.

Just as Zou Jun was about to fire the first shot, Xu Ge decisively pulled the trigger.

And it fired ten shots in a row, emptying the magazine completely.

Bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
The entire process takes no more than 4 seconds!

The sudden burst of gunfire was so rapid that it was impossible for those nearby not to be affected.

Not only the contestants, but even the spectators watching from a distance were startled.

The safety officer behind Xu Ge even jumped up, almost ready to come over and forcibly stop the incident.

However, among everyone, Zou Jun was the most affected, because Xu Ge came precisely when he was about to shoot.

boom!
Zou Jun's hand trembled, and the first bullet was fired. His face instantly turned extremely ugly.

That shot missed the target!

For the contestants who came to participate in the Warriors Competition, the 200-meter prone fixed target was not difficult at all, and they were guaranteed to score at least 95 points.

Under this premise, the implications of missing the target are self-evident.

Zou Jun turned his head to look at Xu Ge, who was slowly and methodically examining the gun, and said through gritted teeth, "You did this on purpose! What good will it do you to suffer a lose-lose situation?"

Xu Ge smiled and said, "No, I've always been this fast at shooting."

"Do you think I'd believe that..."

"Report, target number 2 hit the target with ten shots, 100 rings!" The walkie-talkie on the safety officer's waist crackled to life, and Zou Jun's face turned ashen.

After shooting at the stationary target, the contestants did not leave but immediately participated in the last event: comprehensive rapid shooting.

Xu Ge continued his steady performance, breaking the group army's rapid-fire record once again!

This feat drew gasps of amazement from the audience and delighted Gu Yefei and his group.

At 4:30 p.m., all the contestants finished the competition and gathered at the tactical training field.

The surrounding steps were filled with spectators, dozens of cameras were already in place, and flowers were being arranged on the stage.

Everyone looked excited because the list of 50 brave warriors for this year's competition was about to be announced.

Xu Ge remained calm, because he already knew from the prompts on the token that he had completed the challenge.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the First Warrior Challenge. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Please select your settlement method: 1-500 Universal Skill Points, 2-10000 Universal Proficiency Points]

Xu Ge immediately selected 10000 proficiency points, but did not use them immediately.

He looked at the front of the token, where there were still many skill slots that had not been activated.

At the same time, a question arose in my mind.

Since enlisting, I have given orders to others at least a thousand times.

But why is the skill I want the most still not available?
