Chapter 182 - Go to the Battlefield

Chapter 182 Go to the BattlefieldThe rest day passed. Everyone gathered at the stated place the next day. Since Luo Yongxin died and five were defeated and eliminated, the people left were fewer than thirty-five.

Naturally, how far they could go determined how brilliant they were, and only through the numerous selections could they qualify to be a member of the Dragon Spirit Squad and wear the Dragon Spirit Badge, which was the ultimate accolade in the army.

It was the special sign of the Dragon Spirit Squad. No one could forge it, because once caught, he would be sentenced to death. It represented the highest honor of a soldier and was also the passport of the mysterious army that they wished to join all their lives.

On the high platform, the young drillmaster glanced over the dozens of people present. After a minute or two, he began to say,

“You have passed all the tests. It’s my pleasure to tell you that you are very close to joining the Dragon Spirit Squad. As long as you pass the last examination, you will successfully become my comrades-in-arms.”

“What is the final examination?” At this moment, a soldier expressed the doubt in everyone’s heart.

“It’s very simple, but also the most difficult one because we want you to fight in a real battlefield and experience real blood and fire. Only the people who can survive this will be a member, otherwise, what waits for you is death.”

“As I said, we don’t need losers. No matter how good you performed before, if you die on the battlefield, you can only blame yourself. Do you understand?” The people present were deafened by the youth’s suddenly-raised voice.

“Yes, sir.” Apart from Wang Feng, all people here answered loudly. They knew the test of their abilities ended, as long as they went through a battle, they could become the Dragon Spirit Squad members, which was something they yearned for.

At this moment, they did not even consider what kind of battlefield they might face, but only a firm belief echoed in their minds. They were the elites of the major military regions, not cowards. Therefore, they would rush to any place even if a mountain of swords and a sea of flames.

In order to join the Dragon Soul Squad, they were willing to risk their lives!

“Well, I’ll give you a brief introduction to the task.” The young drillmaster slowly told Wang Feng the task in less than three sentences in total.

This time, Wang Feng’s task was to escort a treasure into a primeval forest, which had been identified as a national treasure, so one could imagine its importance.

But for some reason, the news had spread abroad, and the foreign forces had sent elite troops sneaking into China, ready to intercept the unearthed national treasure.

What Wang Feng needed to do now was to escort the treasure safely into a military area along the way, and from the exact information they got, at least three countries were ready to do it, or they had now crossed the border of Huaxia and sneaked in secretly.

That’s was what they got. It was still not known whether other countries were involved.

In short, this time Wang Feng was only allowed to succeed. If they could not bring back the treasure safely, all of them wouldn’t be qualified for Dragon Soul Squad.

In his words, even if these people died, the national treasure should be returned to national security.

This was not only the real task but also the final assessment of these people.

“Now I’ll give you half a day for preparation. If you get something left to say, say it earlier or no one will collect your corpses in the mission.” The man’s words were very indifferent, but absolutely not lies.

In the real battlefield, sometimes more people might die for taking care of the dead people. What showed on the TV series was not practical at all. Bullets would not choose their targets, and they might die if they get shot.

The living continued to fight, and the dead, unless they were cleaned up after the war, no one would care about them in the battle.

“Helicopters will pick you up in the evening. Let’s disband now.” When the young drillmaster finished, he turned around and left.

Once, they were selected into the Dragon Spirit Squad through such tests, so now he really had nothing to explain to them.

Not only a person’s strength but also the ability of teamwork were put to the test. The dragon Spirit Squad was a team, it was the most important thing. As for whether they could survive, it depended on their own abilities.

Time flew so fast that when the night swept across the earth, Wang Feng had already prepared and started boarding after others.

The destination they were going to this time was in the northwest of Huaxia, where the national treasure was found, and the army had stationed troops there before Wang Feng arrived.

But after all, those were only ordinary troops. If they encountered special forces and so on, they basically acted as an effective warning and deterrent.

Moreover, in today’s social conditions, the military could not assign a large number of troops for a national treasure. If this caused panic among the population, the consequences would be serious.

By the time, the benefits of a team like Wang Feng’s were evident in that they could accomplish their tasks with the least number of people, which saved massive amounts of forces and financial resources. They were the elites among the soldiers, and almost all of them worth ten people respectively. Moreover, fewer people caused a smaller disturbance.

For such benefits, they were highly valued by the nation.

After flying for more than two hours, Wang Feng and others finally landed in a desert that was scarcely visited. Not far from the desert was an endless forest, a very primitive mountain range.

That’s where the national treasure was excavated.

“We just received the news that now four special forces had slid into this mountain range. We don’t know how many other forces are staying here, so you’d better pay attention to yourself. You can shoot the enemy as long as you meet them.” The young drillmaster said as he pulled out a huge backpack behind him and unzipped it at once.

“These are satellite communications tools, which make sure you can communicate with each other even in a place without a carrier service. It has a satellite positioning system. Of course, if you are dying, you can press the rescue button above, and someone will come to collect your bodies.” He added.

However, he did not mention anything about rescuing. Obviously, he did not want them to resort to lady luck in the mission. If the Dragon Spirit Squad was to complete the task, it would be easier.

But this time it’s Wang Feng and his team’s task. They should be responsible for it even if they died there.

“Well, let’s go.” After that, the young man made a take-off gesture to the pilot of the helicopter. Wang Feng could only watch the young man going up into the air, fading out of their view.

At this time, they were left here without reinforcements, too much food, or even enough guns and ammunition.

Luckily, the young man did not cheat them. He gave them a lot of high-tech tools that they had never seen before. Perhaps these things could only be assembled by special forces like the Dragon Spirit Squad, while other people couldn’t even see them.

For example, the mechanical mosquitoes, which could explore the way for them with micro-cameras, even the enemy were difficult to detect them.

There were many things that they did not know for various uses.

“What should we do?” After the young drillmaster left, they were at a loss and looked at each other for they hadn’t even had a leader.

The team with more than thirty people but no leader would certainly be destroyed by the enemy, so after a short discussion, they all fixed their eyes on Wang Feng.

Among all these people, only Wang Feng was in the stage of Internal Strength, so if they should select a commander, Wang Feng was the best candidate.

“Why you all look at me like that?” Seeing their eyes, Wang Feng slightly frowned and then said, “I am unsuited to be a leader, nor can I arrange arms and embattle. It is my first battle, so you’d better select another leader.”

Wang Feng could beat people, but he could not lead such a large group of people. If they all, unfortunately, died under his leadership, wouldn’t they become ghosts hunting him?

So he refused without thinking for he thought he didn’t have that ability.

“Wang Feng, you are the best among us. If another man leads us, others might be dissatisfied, so I think you are the most suitable.” At this time, Zhong Xiaoqian stood up and said the truth that Wang Feng could not refute.

Indeed, their abilities were at almost the same level. If some people were really not satisfied, they might bring unthinkable disasters to the team, and even the whole team might fall apart.

Everyone risked their life this time, so Wang Feng deemed it reasonble and was somewhat swayed by her words.

“Don’t worry. I know someone among us who served as commander, he can help you.” Seeing Wang Feng wavered, Zhong Xiaoqian hastily added.

“Who?”

“Him.” Zhong Xiaoqian answered as she pointed to a man who was about thirty.

The man was slightly stunned at the moment, but it was not the time to be shy, so he stepped out directly and said, “I have commanded in two small battles, so if you think I might be useful, I can help you.”

The words silenced the crowd. Although they were skilled, most of them were led by others without the experience of leading others. So at this time, they really had nothing to contend for.

They could not benefit from a temporary position at all. Thus they wouldn’t fight for it.

Moreover, their thoughts were similar to Wang Feng. They were afraid that they might misjudge in the battle. None of them could be responsible for others’ lives.
