This Kid Was Something Else

At that moment, not far from Jiang Yan Hai, Gong Jian and the others had almost finished discussing their plan. Just as they wrapped up, the sound of helicopters suddenly came from above. Everyone immediately began camouflaging themselves and hiding.

Although they were in the jungle, where the chances of being spotted were low, they still had to be careful. Once discovered, they might not be able to escape.

"Look, another one! Have they gone crazy?" Li Er Niu suddenly said.

Everyone covered themselves with branches. It would not do much at close range, but from high above, they would still be hard to spot.

"They had eight Special Forces Soldiers wiped out in one go. How could they not lose their—" Gong Jian was about to say "temper" when a muffled bang suddenly rang through the mountains. Since they were in a valley, the echoes of the gunshot were tremendous.

Along with that shot, before the stunned eyes of everyone from Fourth Company, one of the Attack Helicopters in the sky suddenly began trailing blue smoke... After flying on for only a short while, the Attack Helicopter made an irritated, sharply exaggerated maneuver and turned straight around to fly back.

"Th-That... couldn't have been Jiang Yan Hai too, could it?" Wang Yan Bing swallowed and asked.

The others exchanged looks. After a long moment, He Chen Guang shook his head. "Who else could it have been? This guy is incredible! Damn, I never thought a Sniper Rifle could really take down a helicopter—and an Attack Helicopter at that!"

Gong Jian was equally dumbfounded. He had truly never seen such a historic scene before! Yet it had actually happened right in front of them. For a moment, everyone's scalps tingled.

That was insane, brother! An Attack Helicopter! If this were real life, wouldn't one cost tens of millions? And it had just "crashed" like that?

Before that thought could even settle, Li Er Niu spoke up. "Not good. The other two are already flying over. They should be going after Hai Zi. What do we do?"

Hearing that, everyone hurriedly looked up. Sure enough, through gaps in the trees, the two distant Attack Helicopters were swooping toward them—and they were both flying evasive maneuvers.

"We retreat. Leave him alone. He has the ability to get away himself, but this place is too close to us. The ground troops will probably come over to surround him soon," Gong Jian said decisively.

Everyone immediately nodded and quickly began packing up to withdraw. Just then, another bang suddenly rang out.

Almost by reflex, everyone looked up at the sky. To their utter disbelief, one of the Attack Helicopters in the air once again emitted a plume of blue smoke. That meant Jiang Yan Hai had hit it again!

"That's fucking amazing!" Li Er Niu could not help muttering.

The third Attack Helicopter seemed startled. It quickly made a wide turn, preparing to break away and leave. They could not actually blanket the area with rockets, and they had not even pinpointed the other side's exact location, so even a simulated rocket barrage was impossible.

Why wait, then? They might as well run.

"Retreat!" Gong Jian took a deep breath. This recruit under his command was simply monstrous, but they could not let themselves be outdone by a recruit, could they?

Recovering from his shock, Gong Jian immediately gave the order to everyone.

They all promptly began withdrawing.

At that moment, Gong Jian and the others were far from the only ones watching the battle in shock. Another group was staring wide-eyed as well. They were none other than Fan Tian Lei, Master Kang, and Chen Shan Ming at the Blue Army Special Forces Brigade command center.

"Seriously, is this guy using cheats?" Miao Lang was sitting with Fan Tian Lei and the others. They had all been declared dead, and they were sitting here to observe the soldiers' performance in the exercise. That was the purpose of the exercise.

Naturally, they would not actively interfere with the exercise, but there was no issue with discussing things among themselves.

Fan Tian Lei was profoundly shaken as well. As someone who had been a Special Forces Soldier his entire life, he had never seen a soldier like this. That kind of sniping skill was simply terrifying!

It was practically the sort of record achieved by legendary snipers from nations all over the world.

Even Master Kang was stunned speechless, let alone anyone else.

"Old Kang, big brother, I won't waste words. You should know that a soldier like this would be wasted staying with you," Fan Tian Lei said. Rarely, he did not try any other tactic and directly raised the matter with a grave expression.

Master Kang instinctively wanted to argue, but after opening his mouth, he ultimately fell silent. Just as Fan Tian Lei had said, he was a soldier. Of course he understood what kind of soldier belonged where.

And this soldier, placed in the Iron Fist Regiment, really would be wasted, just as Fan Tian Lei had said!

Although the Iron Fist Regiment was elite, it was also a unit meant to fight frontal positional warfare. Would you really drag a soldier like this onto the battlefield to fight positional warfare?

No. He was born to be in the Special Forces! By himself! Not only had he already eliminated eight Special Forces Soldiers, but he had also taken down two Attack Helicopters and a drone—all with a Sniper Rifle!

"Once the exercise is over, weren't you planning to recruit new people? Come take him away," Master Kang said after taking a deep breath.

"Big brother, I won't say anything else. Thanks." Fan Tian Lei's face immediately lit up as he spoke quickly.

"But let me make this clear first. If you can't train him properly, send him back to me. There are so many Special Forces units across the country—I'll find someone else," Master Kang said sternly.

"Don't say that. Rest assured, big brother. Don't you trust your little brother? I'll definitely turn him into a Soldier King! I'll have him join the Party in the second half of the year!" Fan Tian Lei immediately said.

"Everyone!" Chen Shan Ming had already spoken up from the other side.

However, Fan Tian Lei and the others ignored him, because Chen Shan Ming was directing the battle.

Chen Shan Ming could not command the Special Forces Brigade's large-scale operations, but he was currently in command of this special operations team.

"I order you all to capture this kid with everything you have! If we fail to catch him, the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade will lose face before military units all across the country! Are you willing to let that happen?!"

"No!" Everyone else in the command center roared in response.

"Move out! Take him down!" Chen Shan Ming roared as well.

"Take him down!" The others shouted back in unison.

"Heh, that's quite a show of force," Master Kang said mockingly, though anyone could hear the pride in his tone.

"It's time these boys got serious. If he can still evade them after this, I've got two bottles of good liquor back at my place. I'll treat you then, big brother," Fan Tian Lei said, rolling his eyes slightly before putting on a pained expression.

"It's a deal!" Master Kang's eyes immediately lit up.
