354: Chapter 354 The Road Is Long (First Update) 354: Chapter 354 The Road Is Long (First Update) According to Black Shark, this military exercise was designed to test the Dragon Group reserve teams.
Together with Zhang Fan’s team, there were a total of three Dragon Group reserve teams.
The Red side represented Zhang Fan’s Dragon Group reserve team.
The Blue side represented the ultimate BOSS.
What Zhang Fan and his team had to do was to hunt down that ultimate BOSS amidst a fortress that was impregnable.
Early in the morning, Zhang Fan saw the other two Dragon Group reserve teams.
Each team had ten members.
All were around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
When He Yujie and Qiu Hongzheng saw Zhang Fan and his group, a glint flashed in their eyes.
Even though Zhang Fan and his team had camouflaged their faces, they could still tell their ages.
The oldest was only about twenty-one or twenty-two, especially Zhang Fan, who was just eighteen!
“Instructor, are they really participating in this military exercise?
Isn’t this fooling around?” Qiu Hongzheng walked over to Black Shark and said.
He was extremely jealous of the age of Zhang Fan’s group.
He had heard that a team had come out from the devil’s training camp and entered the Dragon Group reserve team; he thought this group must have been the elite soldiers selected from major military regions.
However, he had never imagined that this group would be raw recruits.
All together, they had just over eleven months of training.
Keep in mind, it had taken them seven or eight years to get from raw recruits to now being part of the Dragon Group reserve team.
How could he accept this!
Black Shark laughed softly and then said in a low voice, “Their strength is no less than yours anymore.
What’s wrong with being young?
By the time they reach your age, they may well catch up to us.”
Hearing Black Shark’s voice, Qiu Hongzheng’s jealousy grew even stronger.
He glanced at Zhang Fan and his group, saw them laughing and talking, and suddenly shouted, “Quiet!
What is this behavior?
Is this how someone in the Dragon Group reserve team acts?
Don’t you know what discipline is!”
Zhang Fan, with a playful smile on his face, said, “Would you like me to recite it to you now?”
“Where is your team leader?
Come out!” Qiu Hongzheng’s expression darkened.
An eighteen-year-old kid, daring to challenge him?
The crows around them, arms crossed, watched Qiu Hongzheng as if they were watching a show.
Zhang Fan grinned and slowly said, “Sorry, I am the team leader.
What advice would you like to give?
Do you want to show us some rolling techniques?”
“Hahaha!”
Li Yu and the others immediately burst out laughing.
The past six months had almost driven them mad; seeing Qiu Hongzheng stirring trouble, they felt their blood boiling.
They really wanted to fight!
Whether it was bare-handed or with real knives and real guns, either was fine.
The training in these months, with Zhang Fan the freak there, had indeed pushed them to their limits, leaving them exhausted every night when they slept.
They also wanted to see how well they had trained in nearly a year.
Both being from the Dragon Group reserve team, who is the craven one?
Qiu Hongzheng, looking at Zhang Fan’s mocking face, remained speechless for a long time.
The team leader is this eighteen-year-old kid?
Impossible!
“Instructor, isn’t this too childish?
How could you entrust the position of team leader to him?” Qiu Hongzheng turned his head and said to Black Shark.
Black Shark sneered, “If his teammates have no objections, do you have any?”
Qiu Hongzheng’s expression suddenly turned stern!
His gaze swept over Li Yu and the ten others, and he immediately sneered inside.
An eighteen-year-old kid as a team leader, their strength must be so weak, haha.
And they dare say their strength is comparable to his group?
“He Yujie, Zhang Fan, Qiu Hongzheng, head out!
Whichever team can kill the BOSS will be able to join the Dragon Group.”
Hearing Black Shark’s voice, everyone except Zhang Fan was extremely excited.
Directly joining the Dragon Group!
“Got it!”
Zhang Fan replied indifferently, then turned to Li Yu and the others and said, “Check your gear, get ready to move out.”
Qiu Hongzheng coldly swept his gaze over Zhang Fan, turned his head, and loudly commanded his team, “Killing God squad, check your gear, get ready to move out!”
He Yujie also called out in a low voice, “Night Charm squad, check your gear, get ready to move out.”
“Hey, boss, what are we calling ourselves?” Ouyang Xue asked.
“Exactly, our team can’t possibly not have a name,” Leng Xue and the others echoed.
“And our code names?” Lin Feng said, frowning.
Already Dragon Group reserves, and we don’t even have a team name or code name; this is not cool at all.
Zhang Fan thought for a moment before saying, “As for the team name, Autumn Wind.
For the code names, numbers one to eleven, I’m eleven, and you guys pick yours.”
“Boss, why so simple?
Damn it!” Jiang Yixuan immediately protested, feeling the names were not even attractive.
A corner of Zhang Fan’s mouth lifted, “Who’s the boss here?
Who wants those messy names, aren’t they troublesome?
You, rookie, will be one.” Zhang Fan pointed at Jiang Yixuan as he spoke.
Jiang Yixuan’s eyes lit up, number one, that sounded good, heh heh!
Li Yu, however, was not pleased; Jiang Yixuan was the weakest among them, and he was the strongest.
Number one should’ve been his.
“Boss, why give number one to this rookie, Jiang Yixuan?” Li Yu asked.
“Are you dumb?
If we are exposed and someone shouts ‘number one,’ guess who the enemy will chase?” Zhang Fan said indifferently.
“Ah?” Jiang Min’er also froze for a moment, then her eyes widened.
This guy, Zhang Fan, is so mean?
So, he wanted Jiang Yixuan to become the prime target?
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
“This is called being low-key.
Now, Lin Feng, you’re number two, Zhou Chunlei, number three, Leng Xue, number four, Wang Zheng, number five, Li Yu, number six, Xue Xueqi, number seven, Mo Yajing, number eight, Ouyang Xue, number nine, Jiang Min’er, number ten; that’s the decision.”
Watching Zhang Fan claim number eleven for himself, Li Yu and the others gritted their teeth.
Any normal person hearing ‘number one’ or ‘number two’ would think they were the strongest people in the team, but Zhang Fan, this guy, placed himself behind the girls.
Number eleven, damn it!
“Travel light, ditch the junk.
I’ll carry the food; you guys just bring your gear.
Meet back here in ten minutes,” Zhang Fan said, then went straight back to the dorm to pack his gear and leave.
After all, everything was stored in the warehouse, they could just get the food out when needed.
“Boss, are you serious?
Our route is fifteen days long; even if your bag was filled with food, would that be enough for you?” Mo Yajing asked skeptically, eyeing Zhang Fan’s backpack.
“Heh, that’s why I’ve prepared food for four people,” Li Yu said as he came out with his backpack bulging.
“Yajing, why would you believe what the boss said?
With his appetite, I wouldn’t dare leave my food with him,” Jiang Min’er said as she also emerged.
“Ah, then I’ll go prepare some too!” said Mo Yajing as she dashed off.
“Girl, undermining me like that isn’t nice,” Zhang Fan walked over to Jiang Min’er, and with a mischievous smile, lifted her chin.
Watching Zhang Fan’s familiar motion, Qiu Hongzheng’s eyes nearly shot fire.
This guy, daring to behave like that with a female team member.
“Captain, they’ve got four top-grade girls over there; can we go flirt with them?” one of Qiu Hongzheng’s team members asked eagerly.
“Leave that Jiang Min’er for me; let’s go cause them some trouble on the road,” Qiu Hongzheng’s eyes swept over Jiang Min’er’s delicately curved body, his desire surging.
Suddenly, Qiu Hongzheng fixed his icy stare on Zhang Fan.
Humph, so young yet daring to be a captain, the road ahead is long!
