Chapter 168: Three Slaps on the Face, No One’s Stopping You If You Want to Die

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After a short period of calibration, Qin Fen suddenly lifted his Barret M82A1 sniper rifle to point into the sky. This heavy sniper rifle roared once again, and an eagle was pulverized to smithereens in the sky. Countless feathers fell down from the sky.

Practically all the recruits stared blankly at Qin Fen. They didn’t understand why Qin Fen had done this. Why did he suddenly become interested in shooting birds?

On the other side of the island, there was a room of over a hundred display screens of camera feeds. Scarlet Scorpion wrinkled his brow. His two fists were clenched tightly, leaning upon the operator’s desk.

The Eagle Monitor that he had released had just arrived in the skies above the enemy when someone shot it down with a single gunshot. This recruit’s vigilance was high and out of the norm.

Scarlet Scorpion slowly loosened his wrinkled brow. The corner of his lips lifted in a faint smile. At least the Eagle had been able to transmit a bit of a picture before it had been killed. This information was already sufficient.

He bent over to speak into the microphone on the operator’s desk. “Everyone, are you all done with your preparations? Our little friends are about to arrive. We should greet them enthusiastically.”

“Preparations are complete!”

The voices that came out from the amplifier was a chaotic jumble yet incomparably formidable at the same time.

“Excellent.” Scarlet Scorpion grabbed an AK-47 that was lying next to him. “Leave ten people behind to look after the scientist. The other two hundred and twenty people will follow me together to the second checkpoint. Let us properly receive the recruits of the Federations, who numbered no more than a hundred.”

“Let’s blast their balls off!”

“Let’s capture some alive! Things have been far too boring these past few days. I want to have some people to play with!”

“Hubbub. Hubbub…”

The sound that came out of the amplifier was even more of a chaotic mess, revealing that the crazy atmosphere had become thicker.

After the recruits finish their simple rest and reorganization, forces split into two groups once again.

Du Zhanpeng looked at Qin Fen draw something on the muddy ground based on the military map that was projected back on the helicopter. It was a map that illustrated the second checkpoint ahead.

It was a building made of rock. When faced with enemies without any heavy weaponry, it became the most powerful stopping point.

Du Zhanpeng drew in a deep breath. “Luckily, according to the information provided from the military, it looks like right now there are only fifty or so enemies left. We still have nearly a hundred people. We hold quite a bit of an advantage in terms of firepower. I am confident that we will once again engage in a beautiful battle where we wipe out the enemy. Then our mission will be completed.”

Qin Fen gently nodded his head as well. There were fifty more enemies. In this mission, they were to rescue a leader level hostage, so there should be some bonus money involved, right? The issue with the bonus money, when it came to allowing the chance to rescue the hostage to fall to someone else’s hands, was something that must not happen.

“What are you thinking about?” Du Zhanpeng spoke to Qin Fen as if he were speaking with a friend. “How about let’s have a competition? Let’s see who can first rescue the hostage? According to my individual analysis, the person we are rescuing this time is certainly a major character. There will certainly be benefits for future promotions.”

The muscles on Du Peng’s face quickly twitched a few times. Future promotions?

“Promotion?” Qin Fen expressed a bit of interest. He wouldn’t let go of anything that could be of benefit when his retirement from the military.

“That’s right! Okay, I am going to go first.” Du Zhanpeng stood up and walked at the very front of their forces. He made a confident hand gesture to advance forward. The fifty recruits, who were under his lead for now, silently followed him.

The short fierce battle just now caused the recruits to feel what a true jungle of guns and hail of bullets felt like. Each and every one of the recruits faintly had the iron blooded aura of seasoned soldiers exuded from their bodies.

Qin Fen looked at the recruits who were leaving and gently sighed a breath. A true life or death battle was the quickest solution to cultivate an iron blooded aura within a person.

Qin Fen’s line of recruits followed him to quickly walk into the mountain tunnel on the right side.

Just like with Du Zhanpeng, Qin Fen walked at the very front of his forces.

This mountain tunnel was much more vast than what the information that the military gave them said. Twenty people could walk side-by-side and advance forward in this tunnel without any problems while maintaining certain leisure.

The tunnel had an incline of approximately twenty degrees. It extended up ahead, the length at least around two kilometers.

In this tunnel where one’s line of sight was a bit dark, Qin Fen didn’t dare to guarantee that he could accurately control all circumstances in his surroundings. His entire forces advanced at a speed that wasn’t particularly fast.

Everyone just walked a distance of just over a kilometer when the sound of the AK-47’s semi-automatic fire rang out. Soon after this gunfire rang out, the distance ahead fell into a state of silence once more

Qin Fen’s tiny team was bit puzzled by this. Why did a single AK-47 semi-automatic fire ring out just once? Had the battle ended just like that? Du Zhanpeng also brought a force of fifty people. Even if they encountered a fight, it was impossible to just have a single burst of semi-automatic fire.

Du Zhanpeng’s small team suddenly burst out from the left side. They collectively had their backs against the rock wall. As for the leader, Du Zhanpeng’s complexion was very dark as he ferociously spat a mouthful of spittle to the ground.

The usual elegance on Du Zhanpeng’s body was completely nowhere to be found right now. Wisps of killing intent surfaced on his handsome face. “Motherfuckers! Did the people of the military fail even elementary school? They said that there were a hundred enemies in total? A hundred enemies in total, right?”

Just a moment ago, Du Zhanpeng brought his small team to this area. He tied a small mirror, one that he always carried on his body, to a branch and extended it to the space outside of the rock wall. He could feel that there was a stone building facing the mountain rock. He let out a bit of scathing killing intent, wishing to see clearly the locations of the enemy such that he could dispose of them easily.

In the instant that a mirror probed out from the rock wall, the enemy’s AK-47’s bullets flew out in burst fire, simply shooting the mirror to pieces.

In the instant the mirror was shot into pieces, Du Zhanpeng saw a scene that caused an entire person to turn pale.

Enemies! The rooftop of the building of stone and rock was crammed packed with enemies standing on it!

The enemy’s numbers far exceeded a hundred people! All of these people wielded AK-47s, and they all wore bulletproof vests! They stood uniformly on the top of the roof!

They didn’t take cover inside the building of rock to engage in a blockade battle. Instead, they confidently gathered atop of the building.

Such method appeared very silly, but from Du Zhanpeng’s perspective, it was incomparably brilliant.

The enemy’s morale had thus reached its peak. Unbridled military tactics, from the perspective of the enemy, was very easily suppressed by this unbridled aura.

The way they stood was nearly suicidal, but it made their shooting range much more vast. Such emotions, akin to strong winds and cold flowing waters, stimulated their ferocity even further.

There was one more thing that Du Zhanpeng found to be the most unexpected. It was none other than the boss of these terrorists. It had happened in the mere instant, his mirror being shot to pieces, but Du Zhanpeng was able to see the enemy leader very clearly. It was none other than Scarlet Scorpion of God’s Chosen Nation!

“He is worthy of being called the toxic Scarlet Scorpion.”

Ratatata… ratatata…

A wave of concentrated gunfire suddenly rang forth from ahead. The bullets didn’t fall into the front of the rock wall that Du Zhanpeng ninety others took cover behind, nor did they fall onto the ground of the only path they could take.

Du Zhanpeng knew that Qin Fen’s team had arrived, and they encountered a more enthusiastic welcome then Du Zhanpeng’s team had.

In the middle of the tunnel, the recruits retreated around ten meters back. There was a precipitous incline of nearly thirty degrees here, with a length that appeared to be merely around a dozen meters.

All the recruits were engaging in rest and reorganization beneath the slope. Qin Fen and a few other recruits had extended their heads just now, and they had immediately faced countless bullets coming their way.

Qin Fen squatted near the slope, feeling a wave of frustration. The map that the military provided was far too crappy! There actually weren’t any accurate indications that there was another tunnel established on the other side of the spacious ground in front of this tunnel. In addition, there were two large rocks serving as cover at the tunnel entrance there.

The shots just now had been shot out from none other than the opposite tunnel.

It was a small tunnel that could barely have four people standing side-by-side in it. However, there were six AK-47s constituting a weaving net of firepower. As long as one revealed one’s head, he would encounter a crazy welcome of bullets without fail.

It had happened during none other than that mere instant when they revealed their heads. Practically all the recruits who revealed their heads had the marks of enemy bullets left behind on their bulletproof vests as memories.

If they hadn’t been wearing bulletproof vests, a dozen or two dozen people with revealed heads would’ve lost their lives just now.

Kachink…

Mute re-examined his bullets again and reloaded wants to make sure his gun was functional. “Let’s make another rush!”

Before anyone could react, Mute was already the first to charge out the tunnel entrance. Rock and Snake Head didn’t hesitate at all either. They raised their P308’s and chased after him.

The other recruits followed behind, beginning the assault. Qin Fen sighed, not even holding a gun, as he heavily trod the ground in a quick chased toward Mute, who had taken the lead.

Ratatata…

Ratatata…

The instant the recruits revealed themselves, the enemy’s gunshots ring out.

This time the recruits were mentally prepared. Their bodies retreated at the same time, and the P308’s weren’t idle in their hands. They sent the gift of screaming bullets to their enemies at the same time.

Practically all the recruits were retreating, but Mute continued to charge forward. Qin Fen continued with cannon fist strides, utilizing the opposing force to outstrip everyone else. He grabbed the collar of Mute’s uniform and pulled back hard, flinging Mute’s entire body back to the crowd of recruits.

Mute didn’t expect Qin Fen’s strength to be this big. He only felt his two legs leave the ground. It was as if he were a small chick that had been picked up and tossed by a human.

Big Rock and Snake Head’s chests took on several bullets before they rolled along the slope to return back to the crowd of recruits.

Qin Fen’s right leg treaded the ground with another cannon fist, and he returned back to the crowd of recruits as well.

Clap clap clap….

Three slaps were made on Mute’s face. Qin Fen wasn’t the least bit lenient on him. “No one is stopping you if you want to die. However, don’t drag your friends to die with you! They have families!”

The recruits all looked at Qin Fen with worship. These three slaps on the face have been done in a really awesome manner! There wasn’t a single person who believed that Qin Fen was wrong in slapping Mute. These three slaps to the face reversed the first impression they had of Qin Fen, a person who was willing to help others but wasn’t firm enough, quite a bit.

If Qin Fen lacked firmness, even if his marksmanship was divine in his individual combat skills were exceedingly powerful, it would be extremely hard for all the recruits to have a sense of security with him as their leader in combat. In this instant, practically all the recruits discovered that their small team actually possessed quite the sense of security.

Mute stared blankly at Qin Fen. The three painfully hot slaps to the face seemed to be more painful than normal slaps to the face.

A long time passed before Mute responded softly. “I… I just wanted to rescue the scientist…”

Scientist… Qin Fen’s expression grew gloomy and he went silent.

Mute’s father was a scientist. At the same time, his entire family had been attacked and murdered by terrorists.
