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

Chapter 68 The Qiangtang No Man's Land.

"Change into casual clothes?"

Xu Ge was taken aback. "Platoon leader, my civilian clothes are in the suitcase in the camp warehouse!"

"The head instructor has prepared it for you. Just go outside and find him later."

"Platoon leader, where am I going on official business?"

Xu Ge couldn't help but wonder, what kind of official business required wearing civilian clothes?

"Why ask so many questions? You'll find out when we get there. Hurry up and eat!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge didn't have time to go find Li Dongshui to get skill points anymore. After quickly finishing his meal and reporting to Du Hu, he left the shooting range.

After coming out, I didn't see the head instructor, but I did see Old Wang's Prado.

Drip!

The horn blared twice, and a blue-haired young man wearing sunglasses poked his head out of the driver's seat and glanced at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge was slightly taken aback, then realized that this person was the disguised head instructor, and quickly ran over.

"Chief Instructor, you wanted to see me?"

It has to be said that the Thor in front of him had completely become a different person. If Xu Ge hadn't known beforehand, he believed he wouldn't have recognized him even if they passed each other on the street.

“From now on, you’ll call me cousin.” Thor shook his head. “Get in the car and change your clothes, cousin.”

"Yes!"

"Don't say yes, remember this: from now on, we're cousins. You're not a soldier!"

"Okay, cousin!"

Xu Ge responded, opened the car door, and got into the back seat, where he found clothes already prepared on the seat.

A windproof jacket, a pair of cargo pants, a pair of hiking boots, a hiking backpack, and some other outdoor gear.

Xu Ge took off his coat, picked up his windbreaker, and put it on, finding it fit quite well.

"Cousin, are you taking me on a trip?"

"Bingo!"

Thor snapped his fingers, and his entire demeanor changed.

"Change your clothes, and listen to me."

Thor turned his head and said, “Recently, two new recruits have been taking our Hidden Wolf’s test. The test is to find and wipe out a poaching gang of about seven people from abroad without providing them with weapons or transportation.”

Xu Ge, who had only pulled his pants halfway down, froze in his seat: "Poachers must all have guns, right? Aren't we just sending them to their deaths?"

"The content of each new recruit assessment is different. It is set by Wolf Head and its purpose is to train new recruits' ability to kill enemies in extreme environments, without any restrictions on means or methods."

Thor ran his hand through his hair. "Cousin, can you let me finish first?"

“Okay, cousin, please continue.” Xu Ge pulled on his pants and started tying his shoelaces.

"Of course we know that this kind of assessment is very dangerous, so there are always veteran team members who secretly follow and protect us. This time, it was sniper Lao Lian who went."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ge immediately recalled the bearded man he had seen on the snow-capped mountain.

Thor continued, "According to my old-fashioned observation, these poachers have exceptionally high military skills. We were originally going to cancel the assessment, but those two rookies made their move this morning."

And so far, both Old Face and the two newbies are out of contact.

Xu Ge's expression turned serious.

“The situation of the three of them is currently unclear. Sending a drone over to investigate rashly could backfire. Wolf Head’s idea is for me to go over there and bring them back.”

After Thor finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ge and said, "Do you know why I brought you along?"

"why?"

"Because you just enlisted, you don't have much of a soldier's presence, so you're suitable to play the role of a student who's here for tourism."

"Cousin, according to you, other recruits would be suitable too?"

"But only if you've met the old face before, and the old face has met you before, can you skip the communication step in special circumstances."

Xu Ge nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Then I'll listen to my cousin."

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually starting to get nervous inside.

Judging from Thor's words, he's going to have close contact with that group of poachers from abroad!

Thor glanced at Xu Ge's expression and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I've got you covered. Just think of it as a trip with me."

"Ok!"

Xu Ge opened the car door and, as Thor had instructed, handed his military uniform to the sentry at the firing range.

As I was about to go to the back seat on my way back, Thor called out to me, "Cousin, can you drive?"

"know a little."

"What do you mean by 'know a little'?" "You've passed your driving test but haven't driven on the road yet."

"Then you can practice a bit." Thor said, then moved to the passenger seat.

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
After getting in the car, Xu Ge clumsily started the engine based on his memory. Then, with Thor's explanation, he figured out all the control buttons on the powerful car. He stepped on the gas, and the car slowly started moving.

"Drive boldly, what are you afraid of in the no-man's-land? Get familiar with the car as soon as possible!" Thor lit a cigarette. "Four-wheel drive is fine, just drive along this road and don't go into the ditch."

Seeing that the other party said that, Xu Ge felt relieved and started to accelerate.

"See that slope? Charge up it, turn on the four-wheel drive and feel it. Go all out, Old Wang won't mind!"

"okay!"

After getting familiar with the vehicle for a while, Xu Ge became excited and boldly tried his hand at mountain off-roading.

With the engine roaring, the car sped recklessly and quickly sped onto National Highway 219.

. . .

. . .

"How do you feel now?"

Thor gestured for Xu Ge to pull the car over to the side of the road and asked, "Do you know how to drive this car?"

Xu Ge nodded: "I understand!"

The driving skill on the token has been upgraded.

Driving: Intermediate (2/10).

This also confirmed for Xu Ge that although the skill limits on the back of the token were determined by the person being drawn, and once the limit was reached, he could not use general skill points to upgrade, he could continue to improve normally through training.

"I'll switch back and drive for a bit."

After the two switched places, Thor took out Xu Ge's claw knife and a Type 92 pistol from the armrest box.

"The knife is already sharpened, and the pistol is fully loaded; keep them on your person."

Xu Ge took it, and the cold touch of the pistol instantly calmed his excited mood.

"The gun is only for self-defense, to give you peace of mind and prevent you from panicking. You've never fired a handgun before, so don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Ok!"

Thor turned on the music, started the car, and continued driving.

Along the way, the two began to chat.

"Cousin, do you know why I was in charge of bringing Old Man and the others back?"

"why?"

"Because I'm the next wolf leader, I have to be responsible for the team!"

Xu Ge: "Cousin, didn't you say you were the spotter? Shouldn't the sniper take over?"

He didn't know if Thor was telling the truth, but in his mind, snipers were better than spotters.

"What's wrong with the observer?"

Thor was clearly agitated. "Do you know that in all of our Hidden Wolves' sniper teams, the spotter is always better than the sniper?"

"What can a sniper do besides fire? Nothing! I'll have to clean up this mess again! Do you even know I'm the commander in every operation?"

Xu Ge suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"That's right. I think you have the potential to be an observer. Work hard and try to get into the Eighth Company in the future."

"Ok!"

After driving for more than half an hour, Thor turned the steering wheel, rushed off the national highway, and began speeding across the Gobi Desert.

An English song was playing from the speaker, and Thor was swaying his head and singing along.

"Hehehe!"

"Hehehehe, it's a brand new day, aha..."

Infected by the other person's state, Xu Ge also unconsciously began to sway his body.

Gradually, the area ahead became increasingly desolate, with endless wilderness stretching as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to even discern directions.

However, Xu Ge could feel that the altitude was constantly rising.

"Cousin, where are we going?"

"The second largest uninhabited area in the world, with an average altitude of over 5000 meters!" Thor laughed loudly. "Cousin, let me take you on an extreme adventure!"

"Alas!"

"This area is deserted for hundreds of miles around, so run wild as you please! You could run around naked and no one would see you!"

Not long after, the Prado drove onto an asphalt road, and then got stuck in traffic because there were too many cars ahead.
