First Meeting with Luo Feng

Lin Yan collected materials from the Fire Scale Three-Horned Pig and some Beast General-level corpses before leaving City No. 003.

He wasn't one of those martial arts teams who made a living by hunting monsters, and he couldn't fit any more materials in his backpack. He didn't have many supplies left, and if he stayed any longer, he would have to find materials on the spot.

Moreover, although he is now a major, he entered the army for training under the name of a student at the National Defense University. The National Defense University doesn't care, but his parents don't know his current situation. It's almost September, and they estimate that he should be back soon.

If they don't reply for a long time, it's not good to start overthinking.

To be honest, the thought of going home made him a little apprehensive. How could he face his family?

Well.

Fate plays tricks on people.

A pang of guilt rose in Lin Yan's heart, but he quickly suppressed the feeling.

If you have a clear conscience, that's enough. Why bother yourself with unnecessary worries?

Instead of returning the way he came, he determined his location and chose to head towards the County Town No. 0201.

According to my memory of the original novel, this should be the time when Luo Feng joined the Fire Hammer Squad and entered the Wilderness Area for the first time.

He was about to leave Jiangnan Base City, and he thought that if he had the chance, he could meet the protagonist of the original work; otherwise, it would be a pity.

Of course, it was just a brief encounter. Lin Yan was no longer a newcomer to this world; rather, he had already left behind ties and ideals here, and made his own choices.

He didn't want to affect the path Luo Feng was going to take, nor did he want Luo Feng's status as the protagonist of the original novel to affect the path he was going to take.

Rather than waiting for Luo Feng to suddenly appear and then waiting for the dawn of Earth.

Lin Yan aspired to be a sharp blade piercing the darkness. In the history of the nation's resistance against foreign aggression, and in the sacrifices of his comrades, he deeply understood this spirit. There is no need to wait for any savior; everyone with hot blood has their own edge.

They worked together with one heart and one mind, pursuing the same aspirations and ideals, and vowed never to regret it.

Dawn will always arrive on schedule.

And the biting cold wind of this dormant night is nothing more than a little bit of frost.

It was evening.

Chen Gu observed the beast general ahead through the scope of his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit its target, but had almost no effect on the Intermediate Beast General- level Swift Wolf in front of it.

"Well."

"It's too difficult for a sniper rifle to Intermediate Beast General."

Chen Gu sighed.

Fire Hammer Squad leader Gao Feng smiled, "If firearms were that useful, why would we need to train with melee weapons? Making money by shooting monsters would be much more efficient."

Zhang Ke also said, "Chen Gu, you were already strong enough to kill that Elementary Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tank with one shot. We've had a great start this time, so there's no need to rush."

"We just had a shot fired; we'd better move to a different location now."

Gao Feng replied, "Okay."

Just then, Luo Feng suddenly asked warily, "Who goes there?"

The members of the Fire Hammer Squad were all startled and became alert.

Lin Yan revealed himself, walked over, glanced at them, and finally lingered for a second longer on the young man who had spotted him.

He hadn't been in County Town No. 0201 for long when he heard the gunshot. Out of curiosity, he rushed over. Although he hadn't tried to conceal his presence, he was still somewhat surprised to be discovered.

Gao Feng stepped forward, looking at Lin Yan's combat uniform, which was standard Military attire. He relaxed a little and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

In comparison, Military warriors have a much better reputation than warriors from other factions.

However, seeing that Lin Yan was so young, he still had some doubts about why he would be alone in County Town No. 0201.

Lin Yan his hand and said, "Military, Lin Yan."

Gao Feng shook hands with him and introduced himself in the same way, "Fire Hammer Squad, Gao Feng."

Fire Hammer Squad?

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. This was too much of a coincidence. How could they have run into each other like this?

So, wasn't that young man who just discovered me Luo Feng?

"You seem to want to kill that Swift Wolf, right? Can I use your gun for a bit?" Lin Yan pointed at the sniper rifle in Chen Gu's hand.

Chen Gu looked somewhat bewildered. Gao Feng looked at Lin Yan in silence for a moment, then said, "Chen Gu, give it to him."

At the same time, he subtly gestured to his teammates to stay alert.

Lin Yan walked straight forward, picked up the sniper rifle from Chen Gu's hand, and without any hesitation, pulled the trigger. The bullet tore through the air and hit the eye of the Intermediate Beast General- level Swift Wolf.

Lin Yan returned the sniper rifle to Chen Gu.

"I just couldn't resist the urge, sorry."

"Consider this a gift from me to you."

Zhang Ke looked through his binoculars and exclaimed, "That Swift Wolf has been killed!"

Are Intermediate Beast General so easy to kill?

A question mark arose in everyone's mind. Chen Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "Your name is Lin Yan? You're the one who received the title of 'Peerless'?"

Lin Yan said, "Let's retrieve the body first."

They retrieved the corpse of the Intermediate Beast General Swift Wolf from among the Beast Soldier, then moved to the rooftop of the 18th Floor Haihao Grand Hotel to settle down.

They initially wanted to refuse the body of Swift Wolf, but seeing that Lin Yan didn't seem to care much, they didn't say anything more.

How do you know about the title 'Peerless'?

Lin Yan asked Chen Gu in return.

"How could such a thing be kept secret? It's already spread. Everyone knows that Huaxia produced a soldier who won thirteen first-place awards and became the first soldier in history to be named Soldier King at this year's International Special Forces Competition."

Chen Gu asked curiously, "It really is you."

"I've indeed heard that she's very young."

After Chen Gu's introduction, everyone learned about some of Lin Yan's achievements, which explained why he killed Swift Wolf so easily before.

Winning first place in thirteen events fully demonstrates his well-rounded and outstanding strength in all aspects.

Luo Feng glanced at Lin Yan a few more times. This was the first time he had ever seen such a strong peer. However, he did not underestimate himself. His physical fitness was barely at the level of Advanced Warrior, and his Mental Power should have reached the level of Mid-level General. He was only stronger than Lin Yan.

After all, the power of Mental Master is truly terrifying.

At the same level, they would absolutely sweep aside other martial artists!

Lin Yan explained, "I was just passing by, but after hearing the gunshot, I came over out of curiosity."

You can't exactly say you're just a minor character in front of the main character.

Luo Feng asked curiously, "Why are you alone in the Wilderness Area?"

Logically speaking, it is still very dangerous to venture into the Wilderness Area alone.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "My strength has improved recently, so I came to the Wilderness Area to train. Now that's enough, I'm ready to go back."

He was simply satisfying his curiosity; he had no other intentions.

They chatted for a while, and then Gao Feng said, "We've rested enough and still need to hunt monsters, so we'll have to say goodbye now."

Lin Yan nodded. "I need to get myself ready; I also need to head to the Supply Base."

The two said goodbye.

Watching their departing figures, Lin Yan decided to wait a little longer. Earlier, he had discovered the Hunter of a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. In the original story, the Tiger Fang Squad discovered the Fire Hammer Squad while chasing this heavily injured monster and tried to shoot and kill them, causing a lot of trouble for the Fire Hammer Squad.

Zhang Ke, a member of the Fire Hammer Squad, was hit by an armor-piercing bullet used to attack the Beast General and lost his right arm.

Since he happened to be there, it wouldn't hurt to help them resolve this trouble.

Thanks to renxueliunianji for the 588 book coins reward. I would like to express my gratitude here.
