Chapter 33: Random Mission: Combined Equipment

Looking at the opposite side, those veterans whose eyes glowed with a fierce light, aside from Wang Yanbing, the faces of the other twenty-three soldiers were not looking good.

Why? Feeling guilty, huh!

Especially Liu Xiaotian, his calf even felt a bit of cramp.

Unlike the others' vague worries, he truly knew the strength of those veterans opposite him.

He had already known before that this world was not exactly the same as the movies and TV shows he understood, with the Iron Fist Group becoming a regiment of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade.

And the other regiment is the Rocket Force.

At first, this kind of 'unconventional' combination made Liu Xiaotian somewhat uncomfortable.

In a sense, the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade is just a name; those two regiments below are not special forces.

Only the brigade headquarters' directly subordinate battalion is a special forces unit.

That is to say, all the special forces of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade are concentrated in the brigade headquarters.

From the moment he first laid eyes on those twenty-four tiger-eyed veterans opposite Liu Xiaotian, his Jiaweis popped up two big red 'Danger' words before his eyes.

Liu Xiaotian instantly understood that no matter what, he couldn't beat them.

He glanced sideways at the eager Wang Yanbing beside him and lowered his voice: 'Kid, be careful, we can't beat them!'

As for his words, not only Wang Yanbing, but even He Chen Guang and Li Erniu didn't really agree.

Although He Chen Guang and Li Erniu also felt a bit uncertain inside, at least they weren't afraid.

After all, a newborn calf fears no tiger.

In fact, the data given by Jiaweis was not wrong at all.

At this moment, the veterans standing before the twenty-four trainees were the twenty-four strongest fighters in close combat from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade's directly affiliated special forces battalion.

In a sense, this so-called close-combat drill is just a pit dug by Fan Tianlei for these twenty-four youths.

Its purpose is simple: the previous two days' drill didn't properly teach these youths a lesson, so today we'll make up for it.

"Liu Xiaotian, it's fine, I'll protect you." The honest Li Erniu, seeing the fear in Liu Xiaotian's eyes, moved close to him on the ground and said.

"Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? Follow behind me!" Wang Yanbing added.

He Chen Guang couldn't help but roll his eyelids.

He Chen Guang had felt Liu Xiaotian's strength before, and he didn't think Liu Xiaotian needed protection.

That's right, if it were the Liu Xiaotian who fought him that day, he indeed wouldn't need anyone's protection.

But now…

Although Liu Xiaotian has improved greatly in strength and speed compared to two months ago, the techniques he used in that match against He Chen Guang are still fresh in his mind.

But now, without the system's help, Liu Xiaotian really feels a bit of trepidation.

He has tried several times to call for help from the system, but that thing has basically disappeared, with no response at all.

If it weren't for the Jiaweis still present before his eyes, Liu Xiaotian would even suspect that he had been abandoned by that hateful system.

At this point, he no longer had enough time to think of a countermeasure; he could only grit his teeth and go ahead.

Exactly, just go for it, live or die, heads up!

Liu Xiaotian went solo for once.

Otherwise? If he backed down now, he'd probably have to say goodbye to the Red Blood Cell Group.

At worst, it's just a beating—what else could happen? Just as he had expected, ten minutes later, all twenty-four participating soldiers were neatly lined up on the ground.

As for the opposition, only four were helped up by their comrades. Although they looked a bit embarrassed, at least they were still standing, right? Those four were exactly the ones who fought Liu Xiaotian, He Chen Guang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu.

Needless to say, He Chen Guang is the national youth division champion; although it was a struggle, he still knocked down his opponent within five minutes.

But shortly after, he was besieged by two opponents and couldn't hold out for two minutes before obediently lying down on the ground.

Wang Yanbing and Li Erniu's situations were similar; both went all out, knocked down one opponent, then were themselves knocked down.

As for Liu Xiaotian, it was pure luck.

If it weren't for the veteran he faced accidentally getting hit from behind by someone else, Liu Xiaotian probably wouldn't have lasted even a minute.

At the moment that veteran was sneaking a strike, he directly launched a most vicious groin kick.

Of course, he pulled his punch with that kick, so he definitely wouldn't really injure the opponent.

The effect was not bad; that veteran didn't know if he had it under control, his first reaction was to dodge.

After all, any man facing such an attack lacks the courage to take it head-on.

But when he dodged, he landed right into Liu Xiaotian's lower abdomen.

He stepped forward, followed up, threw a punch, and delivered a combo in one fluid motion.

But he didn't land a single hit.

One must say, that veteran's combat experience is surely extremely rich, allowing him to accurately predict Liu Xiaotian's next attack direction and route and defend in advance.

If it weren't for Liu Xiaotian's sufficient strength, that veteran would have had at least three chances to throw a counterpunch and knock Liu Xiaotian down directly.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to fend off the attack, Liu Xiaotian hardened his resolve and actually lunged forward with his whole body.

In others' eyes, Liu Xiaotian was just seeking his own death.

But when Liu Xiaotian really charged forward, the few people watching were shocked to discover that it was the veteran who fell down.

The move Liu Xiaotian used was a secret technique from his childhood fights, called 'raising the head' in his hometown.

One must say, this move is indeed very practical in real combat.

Especially when that veteran opposite him happened to be half a head taller.

That veteran is undoubtedly a top-notch special forces soldier; if it were a real life-and-death struggle, Liu Xiaotian would probably already be close to death by now.

But this is just a drill.

Although they received orders to properly 'teach a lesson' to these young recruits, they didn't dare use any of those lethal techniques.

After all, they clearly knew they were facing comrades, not enemies.

Precisely because of this, Liu Xiaotian managed to pick up a bargain.

He lunged straight forward, and at the moment when he was almost face‑to‑face with that old soldier, Liu Xiaotian, taking advantage of his momentum, gave a violent jerk of his head, his forehead squarely hitting the other's nose...

That kind of sour‑refreshing feeling is something people who haven't experienced it probably can't even imagine.

The old soldier let out a muffled groan, his body went limp, and he fell backward.

Liu Xiaotian could still be considered 'having a conscience'; he promptly reached out and grabbed the collar of that 'unfortunate' old soldier, gently laying him down on the ground.

But right after that, he was struck on the right cheek by a hook thrown from the side, and, following the old soldier, he toppled headfirst to the ground.

Even at the instant he was hit, 'Jiaweis' flashed the word 'danger' wildly before his eyes, yet it could not 'save' him...
