Chapter 234: A Bit Tricky

Just as Liu Xiaotian thought Li Erniu had been persuaded by him and was preparing to withdraw from this mission according to his order, feeling a hint of disappointment, Li Erniu, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered, suddenly lifted his head, stared at Liu Xiaotian's eyes, and said word by word:

"Xiaotian, no, Group Leader, I can stay calm, I can participate in this mission!"

Li Erniu's words instead made Liu Xiaotian slightly startled.

Because, he saw determination in Li Erniu's eyes, and it carried not a trace of personal emotion.

At this moment, Liu Xiaotian felt a bit more admiration for this honest but stubborn comrade before him.

At the same time, he finally understood why Fan Tianlei had recruited Li Erniu into the army back then, despite Li Erniu appearing not even remotely like a special forces soldier, not even showing a hint of an excellent soldier.

This soldier, who appeared least likely to have the potential to become a special forces member, was at least not inferior in mental acuity to He Chen Guang and Wang Yanbing by any measure.

As for Liu Xiaotian, before crossing over he was basically a low-key rich second-generation, having almost never suffered any setbacks since childhood; without the system's assistance, he planned to just get by until the day he was kicked out of the Iron Fist Group or even kicked out of the army, so what mindset is there to speak of?

That is the fact.

He did not see that, besides He Chen Guang and the other two, the remaining eight people, including Natasha, looked at him again with their gazes carrying a hint of respect.

At a glance, nothing, one mistaken version! %

To be honest, at the moment he leapt out of the hatch, he felt somewhat moved in his heart.

Compared to back then, the current Liu Xiaotian is worlds apart.

In movies he had seen submarines before, but after all those are just clips, right? Just the process of entering the submarine, Liu Xiaotian went the wrong way twice, and once he couldn't open that door which others could open with a push, watching the soldiers grin and laugh continuously.

Liu Xiaotian didn't know whether he now counted as having fallen in love with Qin Yuxi; likewise, he didn't know if, with Qin Yuxi on that hostage list instead, he could still remain as calm as he is now.

This is the benefit brought after gaining the trust, even a hint of admiration, from the people around him.

Since the day they enlisted, they have all been in the Iron Fist Group; although not in the same company, they often saw each other, but back then Liu Xiaotian had left no deep impression on them.

And the only one who accurately landed on the submarine was Liu Xiaotian.

If we judge by Liu Xiaotian's experience of over twenty years before crossing over, being able to reach this point in such a short time, even though most of it is thanks to the system's help, at least in terms of psychological endurance, he is definitely first among the four.

A submarine equipped with anti-radar detection devices is still hard to detect unless it gets especially close.

If you plant the seed of 'I'm extremely awesome' in their hearts, then even if you perform averagely or even poorly in some matter, they will think you are doing it on purpose.

More importantly, if you want to be fearless of heaven and earth, you also need to have the abilities of Sun Wukong and that indestructible body, right? Otherwise, you would have long had your soul scattered on the demon-slaying platform.

If it weren't for the fact that humans have emotions, what difference would there be from those creatures that survive purely by instinct? However, facing Li Erniu who appears to have completely calmed down and regained his rationality, even if it were Fan Tianlei, he would still not agree to let him continue participating in this mission.

However, this is still Liu Xiaotian's first time seeing a submarine.

But now, the endurance Li Erniu has shown is actually surpassing him.

But if it were said that Liu Xiaotian had a chance to tinker with the submarine, that would definitely be unrealistic. A few minutes later, a total of twelve people, eleven of whom successively fell into the sea.

This time, Liu Xiaotian was the first to jump out of the hatch.

An hour later, the parachute indicator light began to flash.

Of course, this absolutely cannot happen at a critical moment.

He is willing to believe that Li Erniu can remain calm and rational throughout this mission, because he should know that impulsiveness and anxiety are of no benefit whatsoever to this mission, or to Cui Fen who is being controlled and made a hostage.

The plane cannot fly too low, otherwise it would be detected by the radar on the Dream Vessel.

Precisely for this reason, he only showed a bit of weakness right after fiercely displaying his strength just now.

Not everyone is Sun Wukong, born with a fearless nature.

Being at high altitude in free fall, close to two thousand meters, the blue sea surface in Liu Xiaotian's eyes was simply a magnificent painting. He also felt for the first time that, originally, the sensation of soaring in the sky, pah, gliding, was actually so wonderful, even surpassing the deep-seated nervousness he felt about leading a team on a mission for the first time.

However, the distance to their target—a small submarine surfaced on the sea—was not considered far; the farthest was only over fifty meters.

This means that the hatch will open in three minutes, and the Action Team soldiers need to complete their parachute jump carrying all weapons and equipment within two minutes, with rescue vessels waiting on the sea surface.

But He Chen Guang and the other two clearly knew. Liu Xiaotian was really not pretending.

Since the parachute jump when the system first appeared, half a year has passed.

But Liu Xiaotian agreed.

Well, the fundamental reason humans can become the top of the food chain and dominate this planet is that humans possess sound logical thinking and emotions.

At this moment, he has fully explained with his strength why he could become this instructor, needing no extra words.

Speaking of which, Liu Xiaotian really hadn't expected that the Warrior School actually possessed such strength, able to obtain a submarine to assist the Action Team in approaching the Dream Vessel.

This point, he himself can feel without anyone else saying it.

It's not mockery; he finds it amusing; indeed, he feels that this instructor and temporary commander of his is deliberately joking with them to relieve their tension.

However, at the moment everyone entered the submarine, the officer responsible for meeting them, whose nationality is unknown and whose shoulder insignia bears at least six or seven silver stars, told them a not-so-good news: To prevent anyone from approaching the Dream Vessel from underwater, the Hu Sha, upon boarding, immediately scattered a circle of fishing nets around the hull, covered with all kinds of sharp objects, very dangerous.

This is not a matter of being careless or not; even if you approach cautiously, the positions of those fishing nets will also change under the effect of the water current.

Even if you dodge just a little slower, the sharp objects hanging on those fishing nets could cause injury.

To be honest, upon hearing this news, Liu Xiaotian only felt a burst of headache……
