Chapter 439: Super Armor Evolution!

【System detected new knowledge point: VBSS】

【Knowledge point analysis: It is a boarding tactic commonly used by naval special forces of various countries, often used for anti-piracy, anti-smuggling, counter-terrorism, maritime inspection, seizure of suspicious vessels, and clearing offshore platforms......】

At the moment the system prompt popped up, Lu Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

This training is something that ordinary grassroots units never encounter in a lifetime; even for special operations, it's a closely guarded secret.

He really didn't expect Bai Yuan to be so generous as to bring this "outsider" to the core training ground of Jiaolong.

Bai Yuan casually drank water and said: "By rights, I shouldn't have brought you here; but I don't like owing people favors, and you're about to leave, so I can give you a chance as repayment for saving Lao Mao and eleven quasi-special forces team members' lives."

"If you can answer what VBSS is, I'll make an exception and let you stay here for half a day, but only half a day."

Lu Yang pretended to be eager yet troubled: "Let me think, let me think!"

The three-person tactical team lowered their weapons, walked up, and asked Bai Yuan.

"Company Commander, this wouldn't be that hand-and-foot-chopping kid, would it?"

"He's weak and feeble, with no ruthlessness at all—doesn't look like it."

"Kid, if you don't know, just say you don't know; stop dawdling here—our Bai Company sneaked you in, we're taking a risk, so you might as well leave early."

Lu Yang furrowed his brows, scratched his ears and cheeks, looking like someone who really wanted to laugh.

Bai Yuan: "Looks like you can't answer, so I won't blame you—let's go?"

Lu Yang: "Wait! If I can answer, could you teach me something else? I want something not in books, something you can't learn after leaving here, preferably a trick to gain an edge on the battlefield."

"Yo ho, this kid's still making demands!"

The three members of the tactical team immediately laughed.

But they still didn't expect Lu Yang to be able to answer the question.

Because even they only truly encountered this term after joining Jiaolong for two and a half years.

Those who have attended military academy and specially studied naval special operations knowledge are the exception; but Lu Yang clearly didn't go to military academy for further study, merely receiving an extraordinary promotion in rank, so essentially he still hasn't fully broken out of the "grassroots soldier" category.

Bai Yuan shook his head: "I'm very busy, I don't have that much free time; if you choose to stay, I can teach you properly, even let you come here early to learn more professional combat techniques."

Lu Yang: "No need for you to set aside extra time; just compress it into this half-day period."

"Being greedy leads to indigestion; rushing through things will make you remember nothing."

"No problem, I have a good memory."

"Alright then, answer the question?"

Lu Yang no longer pretended: "VBSS is an acronym of four words: Visit, Board, Search, Seizure; that is, inspection, boarding, search, and seizure."

"It is a naval special operations tactic commonly used by various countries, typically for anti-smuggling, counter-terrorism, anti-piracy, inspection, seizure of suspicious vessels, and clearing offshore platforms."

"Modern VBSS tactics truly originated from the 1975 hijacking of the United States' Mayaguez cargo ship, because the rescuers lacked a unified boarding procedure, were unclear about the ship's structure, and had disorganized personnel assignments, resulting in heavy casualties......"

Bai Yuan's eyelids twitched twice; this kid was actually feigning ignorance to play tricks.

He never expected Lu Yang not only to know it, but to know it in such detail.

The year the United States' Mayaguez cargo ship was hijacked—he himself had forgotten it, but Lu Yang knew it crystal clear.

The three-person tactical team also fell silent, then all looked at Bai Yuan and stirred up trouble.

"Company Commander, this kid is messing with you!"

"I saw through it!"

"Beat him up!"

"......"

Bai Yuan raised his hand to cut off Lu Yang's full recitation: "You sure know a lot—didn't realize you were still a straight-A student?"

Lu Yang with an honest face: "Report, I'm not a straight-A student; I'm a poor student."

Bai Yuan thought he was being sarcastic, and still had you pretending?

"Alright, no more talk, let's start—give him a gun."

Alright, no more talk, let's start directly—give him the gun.

"Could you give me a set of your tactical gear too?"

"What are you thinking?"

The three glared at him: "Do you know how much this equipment costs? You're freeloading and still making demands—don't push your luck; if you break it, you can't afford to pay."

Lu Yang turned his head, looking innocently at Bai Yuan: "Company Commander, twelve people means twelve lives; I even took a bullet for Tu Hongwei, and to save your people I almost died a heroic death."

"I don't want yours either; even using it would be in vain—it's all wasted, all wasted."

Bai Yuan covered his forehead, helplessly waving his hand: "Let him use it, let him use it."

The three rolled their eyes in annoyance and led Lu Yang to get the equipment.

The equipment depot is huge, with a dedicated person in charge; after entering, Lu Yang was dumbfounded.

Seeing all kinds of high-tech weapons and equipment inside, his eyes both glowed red.

In the Iron Foot, a platoon couldn't even find two low-light night vision devices; here they're as common as cabbage.

From domestic to American, German, British, etc., all brands of head-mounted low-light night vision devices are available, and they're all the latest models.

On the wall hung various types of firearms: Type 95, Type 191, and Type 10 anti-materiel sniper rifles; the Americans' M16, the world-famous AK series, and Belgium's FN SCAR assault rifle.

Lu Yang also saw a strangely shaped, super cool Austrian-made Steyr AUG assault rifle.

It's worth noting that the current timeline's QBZ-191 rifle has just been developed, is still in testing, and hasn't been officially deployed.

Besides top-tier special operations, regular units haven't even heard of it.

Even now, many basic units still use the Type 81, and the Type 95 is something they can only aspire to.

As for weapon accessories, there are infrared thermal imagers, low-light night vision scopes, polarized scopes, powerful flashlights, infrared sights, and extended magazines—everything you could want.

Even various countries' knives, boots, tactical helmets, and gear accessories are plentiful—truly a dazzling array.

Even sabers, boots, tactical helmets, and tactical accessories from different countries are plentiful, a dazzling array.

"WTF, WTF, WTF......"

Lu Yang's eyes were dazzled, his horizons opened.

It was his first time truly feeling what "wealthy and extravagant" means, and what "a miser without humanity" means.

Even the Army's most prized reconnaissance battalion within the Division, when placed before that fellow's Jiaolong, looked like a penniless wretch, with no comparison at all.

No wonder they say Special Forces are money‑burning ancestors; today's sight proved the reputation well deserved. And that's just the equipment—the cost of training talent is incalculable.

Lu Yang's eyes were greedy; if these gear could be packed and taken back, the squad's combat power would at least jump a huge notch.

Had those night‑vision infrared devices been present in that earlier drill, Special Third Regiment wouldn't have been caught off guard and lost so badly.

"Country bumpkin."

Seeing Lu Yang and Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden together, the three of them snorted in unison.

"Use the Type‑95 for the rifle; the foreign ones you're not familiar with, don't touch them."

"Don't take any tactical accessories you haven't seen; wear this tactical vest."

"This helmet doesn't match the model of this micro‑light night‑vision device, swap it for this one; no, why are you taking the Lucky Garb? You're not setting up an ambush..."

Soon, Lu Yang finished, achieving his first "Super Weapon Evolution."

When the full set of tactical gear was on, arming him to the teeth, his confidence surged explosively.

Not even war— even if a Super Saiyan showed up, he'd still dare to take on a fight.

Walking outward over a piece of reflective broken glass, when he saw the imposing, murderous Lu Yang reflected inside, he felt a fleeting sense of not recognizing himself.

"Handsome—so damn handsome!"

"Exactly like those cool characters in shooting games!"

"I bet when Murong Yunhai took Chu Yuxian to shop at Metersbonwe, Chu Yuxian felt the same way!"

"If only I could take this set of gear away, no— how could I think that? If I could take an entire Warehouse away, that would be great!"

Lu Yang imagined him showing up before the crowd with a burlap sack, like Santa Claus handing out local specialties, the scene where Zhou Kaidong and the others handed out rifles and equipment— his smile just wouldn't stop.

"I'm truly impressed! Speechless, just speechless!"

"With this thing, we rescued Lao Mao and the others in the mission; was Lao Mao just goofing off the whole time?"

"Don't talk nonsense; Lao Mao has always been lazy, hahaha!"

When they turned back, the people behind had vanished, and they saw Lu Yang standing in front of a mirror, preening; the three covered their faces and ribbed him.

They seriously doubted whether they'd heard the wrong story; this really is that ruthless guy who chops off hands and feet, but he doesn't even look like him, right?

But once the formal training began, Lu Yang's performance quickly overturned their expectations...
