The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

The ultimate goal of theoretical training and simulated combat is real blood and fire.

Baroque believed that the fangs of young animals only become truly sharp after seeing blood.

Thus, Squad Zero was thrown into an elite mercenary squadron active in global hotspots, beginning their turbulent and combat-oriented career, shuttling between various battlefields.

Their missions are diverse, and the battlefield environment is constantly changing, making this the ultimate test of everything they have learned.

Act One: Rainforest Raid and Infiltration (Jungle of a Southeast Asian Country)

Mission: Infiltrate a clandestine drug processing plant occupied by a local warlord, obtain the transaction ledgers, and destroy the main production facilities.

Professional tactical applications:

Wilderness Forest Warfare:

The team used the stealth techniques taught by Silence to move silently through the damp, dense jungle.

Coldthorn, as the scout, is responsible for clearing out hidden outposts along the way (using a silent pistol and dagger) and setting traps to warn pursuing troops behind.

Based on the botanical knowledge taught by Xue Yan, Zero avoided poisonous vegetation and searched for edible water sources.

Infiltration Warfare:

Using a simple signal jammer modified from a sparrow, the factory's perimeter surveillance system was temporarily disabled (the frequency was determined by previous electronic reconnaissance).

They chose to act during a rainstorm, using the sound of the rain to cover their footsteps.

Assault:

After the infiltration was successful, Commander Zero launched a lightning strike.

Iron Pit used MP5SD submachine guns with silencers and shotguns to clear out the outer guards and create chaos.

Zero and Sparrow charged straight for the core area, with Zero employing close-quarters combat techniques (silence techniques + Baroque's ferocity) —

Quickly deal with the guards in the ledger room, while Little Sparrow swiftly cracks the safe (with the help of Xue Yan's chemical corrosive agent).

Demolition and Evacuation:

After obtaining the ledger, Zero used his Baroque cult's explosives knowledge to precisely set the explosives and destroy the reactor and storage tank.

During the withdrawal, use pre-set booby traps and long-range sniping with the Cold Thorn (AWSM sniper rifle) to stop the pursuers, and finally disappear into the rainforest along the predetermined route.

Plot manifestation:

During the operation, Tiedun was injured after stepping into a bear trap set by the enemy. Zero immediately used the battlefield first aid taught by Xue Yan to temporarily stop the bleeding and immobilize the wound. Little Sparrow assisted in dragging him away, demonstrating teamwork and battlefield first aid.

Act Two: Street Fighting and Sniper Counterattacks in a Desert Town (Conflict Zone in a Middle Eastern Country).

Mission: Escort an important informant through a town controlled by the opposing faction to the extraction point.

Professional tactical applications:

street fighting:

The team made use of the complex environment of the town ruins.

Command Team Zero employed the tactic of "alternating cover advance"!

Irondum uses the PKM general-purpose machine gun to provide suppressive fire!

Zero and Little Sparrow escorted the informant quickly across the open area!

Cold Spurs occupy the high ground, providing vision and precise fire support.

Sniper vs. Counter-Sniper Warfare:

Encountering enemy sniper suppression, Coldthorn quickly pinpointed the enemy's approximate location (about 400 meters away, in a partially destroyed building) by analyzing ballistics (as taught by Silence) and the enemy's firing rate.

The little sparrow operated a drone (simply modified) to conduct reconnaissance and confirmation.

Zero ordered smoke grenades for cover, while simultaneously directing Cold Spike to conduct counter-fire (M24 sniper rifle, calculating wind speed and the effects of dust storms).

Cold Thorn hit the enemy sniper's observation hole with a single shot. Although the kill was not confirmed, it successfully forced the enemy to move and broke the blockade.

Heavy firepower response:

The enemy used DShK heavy machine guns mounted on pickup trucks.

Zero orders Iron Pier to use the AT4 rocket launcher (Professor Baroque's technique) to strike and destroy the pickup truck in one shot.

Plot manifestation:

The informant was terrified after being injured by a stray bullet, and Zero calmly reassured him in multiple languages ​​(taught by the Nightingale).

He then ordered the little sparrow to give him emergency first aid, demonstrating the value of psychological resilience and multilingual ability in actual combat.

Act Three: Mountain Guerrilla Warfare and Ambush (A mountain range in Central Asia).

Mission: Attack a convoy transporting supplies to the rebels and slow their advance.

Professional tactical applications:

Mountain/Forest Warfare:

The team occupied the high ground on the mountain road in advance and used rocks and bushes for camouflage (a silent super camouflage technique).

Zero precisely calculated the convoy's speed and the optimal ambush point.

Guerrilla warfare/ambush warfare: Employ the classic "Deadly Trident" ambush formation.

Cold Thorn uses long-range sniping to eliminate the driver of the lead vehicle, creating chaos!

Ironclad covered the middle of the convoy with M2 heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers (MK19)!

Zero and Little Sparrow used assault rifles and grenades to clear the rear of the vehicle and prepare for an infantry counterattack.

Use of explosives:

Prior to the ambush, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) had been planted on the road and detonated remotely by a sparrow, further amplifying the casualties and chaos.

Evacuation:

After completing the attack, they did not linger in battle, but quickly withdrew using familiar mountain paths, and laid tripwire mines along the withdrawal route to delay the pursuers.

Plot manifestation:

This operation was primarily focused on sabotage. Zero strictly controlled the engagement time, knowing when to stop and demonstrating excellent battlefield rhythm control and mission priority judgment.

Act Four: Infiltration and Assassination on a Maritime Platform (Disputed Waters of a Certain Country).

Mission: Infiltrate an abandoned offshore drilling platform occupied by terrorists, eliminate the leader, and obtain his communication equipment.

Professional tactical applications:

Deep water/deep sea approach:

The team used a underwater thruster (DPV) to stealthily approach the platform support from underwater.

Use a closed-circuit respirator (CCRB) to avoid generating air bubbles.

Climbing and Invasion:

Using the rust and structure of the platform supports, grappling hooks and static ropes are used for free climbing (a technique taught in the Baroque style).

Break in from an empty area on the lower deck.

Close-quarters assassination:

The platform has a complex internal structure and narrow passageways.

Zero and Cold Thorn divided their tasks, using silent assassination techniques and daggers and nooses to quietly eliminate the guards along the way.

Zero even used Xue Yan's acupuncture techniques to remotely incapacitate a key sentry with poisoned needles.

CQB (Close Quarters Battle):

A firefight ensues in the final room with the leader and his bodyguards.

Commander Zero employed rapid corner-cutting and room-clearing tactics to efficiently eliminate the guards.

Zero engaged in close combat with the leader and eventually subdued him.

Information gathering and evacuation:

The little sparrow quickly cracks communication devices and downloads data.

They then planted explosives to create chaos and used rappelling ropes to evacuate from the other end of the platform onto a waiting speedboat.

Plot manifestation:

The mission emphasized the importance of silent operation and precise elimination, showcasing the combined application of various assassination techniques in actual combat.

Act Five: The Comprehensive Test

During a defensive battle to protect an important oil field facility, the mercenary squadron encountered a fierce attack from the enemy's main force.

The battle was extremely fierce.

Comprehensive tactical application:

Heavy firepower coordination:

Zero was temporarily authorized by Baroque to command part of the defensive positions.

He coordinated the allocation of limited heavy machine guns, mortars, and anti-tank missiles to form a crossfire network, effectively hindering the advance of enemy armored vehicles.

Battlefield medics:

Xue Yan's medical skills played a crucial role at this time.

Zero not only fought, but also moved between positions, performing emergency surgery, stopping bleeding, and even administering cardiac stimulants (provided by Xue Yan) to severely wounded mercenaries, snatching several lives back from the jaws of death.

Individual combat and leadership:

In the critical moment when the position was breached, Zero seemed to be possessed by the god of war.

He would sometimes operate a heavy machine gun and fire wildly (Baroque)!

Occasionally, use precise bursts to eliminate enemy officers (silence)!

Sometimes, he would drag the seriously wounded back and carry out emergency treatment (Xue Yan).

His calmness, ruthlessness, and efficiency impressed everyone and stabilized the crumbling defense.

Plot manifestation:

This defensive battle was the ultimate test of all their training results.

Zero not only demonstrated comprehensive military skills, but also brought out his leadership abilities under extreme pressure.

The team members each performed their duties and cooperated seamlessly, truly becoming a trustworthy fighting force.

After being ravaged by countless battles, the name of Squad Zero began to quietly circulate in the mercenary world.

They are known as "Zero Squad," a name that symbolizes zero failures, zero casualties, and starting from scratch.

Their achievements were remarkable, but more importantly, in the face of real life and death, they integrated the killing techniques taught by their three mentors into the depths of their souls.
