It was Lin Shu's first time seeing Fan Tianlei up close. He sighed in his heart. As expected of a veteran who had been to the front line of the southern border. Just standing here, his aura was similar to Regiment Commander Kang's. He gave people the feeling that he was a sharp sword that was ready to be unsheathed at any time!
Was… Fan Tianlei scrutinizing Lin Shu? He was also secretly surprised.
He was about 175 centimeters tall, not considered burly, and his face was painted with oil paint, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, full of vigor, giving off an extremely aggressive feeling. This was a pair of eyes that were born to be a sniper!
"What's your name?" Fan Tianlei said slowly after a moment of observation.
"Reporting to the chief, my name is Lin Shu!"
Fan Tianlei's gaze lingered on the Type 88 sniper rifle in Lin Shu's hand for two seconds.
"You used this sniper rifle to take out my assault team?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Can you tell me how you did it?" Fan Tianlei continued to ask. He was eager to know what kind of mind this soldier had. This kid had just joined the army less than a year ago and had used his brain throughout the entire war.
However, Lin Shu did not do as he wished. "Comrade Colonel, according to the rules of the drill, you are already a dead man!"
In other words, 'Does the dead need to know so much?'
"...." Fan Tianlei's face twitched when he heard that. 'Damn it, am I being mocked by a private?'
"We're just chatting!" He laughed awkwardly. "You are a good soldier and a natural sniper! How about it? Are you interested in joining my special forces brigade?"
The drill hasn't even ended, and you're already starting to poach people?
Chen Shanming, Miao Lang, and the others looked at each other. Wasn't their commander coming off a little too eager? The war is not over yet, Chief of Staff...
Lin Shu was also stunned. He thought that Fan Tiankeng was good at poaching people. Since the drill had not ended and no one was paying attention to him, he should book him into the special forces brigade. Very strategic!
"We'll talk about this later…" Lin Shu neither agreed nor refused.
Hmm? He didn't immediately agree? Fan Tianlei was surprised.
The Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade was the flag of the entire Southeast Military Region. It was a place that many people in the entire military region dreamed of and wanted to come to. This recruit told him to talk about it later?!
'This brat doesn't know how to appreciate favors!'
… Fan Tianlei thought so in his heart, but his mouth was very honest. "What concerns do you have? Are you worried that you wouldn't be able to pass the test? Don't worry, I still have some face as the chief of staff of Wolf Fang. As long as you agree, I'll exempt you from the assessment!"
When Chen Shanming, Miao Lang, and the others heard this, they were even more incredulous. They felt like vomiting in their hearts.
Exempted from the assessment? This was a joke! Anyone who wanted to join Wolf Fang and become a special forces soldier had to go through the assessment. This was what Wolf Head had personally said. If he said he said you were exempted, then you were exempted. The brigade commander would not be able to dig your *ss out! They could already imagine that once Lin Shu agreed, the Chief of Staff would wipe the table in front of Wolf Head like a grandson and beg him.
However, was there a need to do so… He was just a recruit who was very talented in sniping. Why did he look like he was begging him to join?
"Uh... Why should I worry about not passing the test?"
Lin Shu was speechless. He looked at Fan Tianlei and said seriously, "I said we'll talk about it later because there's a war going on right now. Moreover, um... These words might be a little offensive, but from the exchange just now, I'm a little suspicious of your Wolf Fang's level."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The air instantly fell silent!
Fan Tianlei, Chen Shanming, Miao Lang, and the other members of the special forces froze. They stared at Lin Shu.
Hey! Aren't you being a little offensive?
It was too offensive!
"What did you say?!" Fan Tianlei's face turned ugly. "Kid, do you think that you're invincible after defeating us once? Do you think that we, Wolf Fang, are all pushovers?!"
"Let me tell you, if it wasn't for the rules of the drill restricting our hands and feet, with your little ability, you would have no chance of winning against us!"
Here it comes, Fan Tianlei's classic catchphrase!
Lin Shu looked innocent." I didn't say that you Wolf Fang people are soft persimmons… But you all died."
So you didn't say that Wolf Fang's people are soft persimmons, but the thought did cross your mind for you to make that comparison? Chen Shanming, Miao Lang, and the others' faces darkened even more.
"That's because I was careless!" Fan Tianlei said loudly, so excited that he even spat!
"But you still lost."
"You…" Fan Tianlei was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. Damn it, he had failed miserably!! Just because this kid had sniped one of his subordinates, he had gone up to the front and ordered the pursuit. He did not expect such a wrong decision to make a recruit mock him in all sorts of ways. However, he could not find any way to refute it.
It was true!
They were an eight-man assault team! Yet a single private was able to wipe them out!
Was he careless? Yes, but there was nothing to say about the strength of this private. War did not give soldiers the chance to explain themselves. This time, he had indeed made a big mistake. As a commander, he had underestimated his enemy and made a wrong judgment, 'costing' all his comrades' life. One could imagine how cruel Wolf Head would be to him when he returned.
Why did Fan Tianlei insist on recruiting Lin Shu to Wolf Fang?
It was one thing to love talents, but the Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade was in need of new blood.
On the other hand, it was also to avoid Wolf Head's punishment. 'I was careless, but I also made contributions to Wolf's Fang. Brigadier General, look, I managed to trick such a talented sniper who is not inferior to Xiao Zhuang into joining us!'
... Seeing that Fan Tianlei was about to flip out, Lin Shu stopped and took a step back.
"Alright, Chief of Staff, I promise you that I will consider it. The drill isn't over yet, so I won't be chatting with you here! Farewell!"
After saying that, Lin Shu tidied up her equipment and stepped onto the road of battle again, leaving only Fan Tianlei, Chen Shanming, Miao Lang, and the others behind…
"Bastard!" Fan Tianlei cursed in a low voice.
He was angered by Lin Shu's words. He couldn't help but look at Chen Shanming and the others and vent his anger on them. He cursed,
"You guys are really infuriating me! So many years of training had gone to waste!"
"A group of people can't even defeat a private who just joined the army!"
"You still have the cheek to say that you're a special forces soldier? Usually, we're allowed to be so arrogant, but what happened in the end? Isn't it embarrassing? Let me tell you, after the acting is over, all of you will go back to the furnace and be remade. Your training will be doubled!!!"
After a round of scolding, his saliva almost splashed on Chen Shanming and the others.
He had always been proud of his special forces team, but they were all killed by a private and they were even ridiculed by said private. He had lost all his dignity!
Chen Shanming wiped the saliva that was sprayed on his face and whispered, "Number Five, it seems you forgot that you died earlier than us…"
"What did you say?!" Fan Tianlei's eyes sharpened.
"No. It's nothing..." Chen Shanming hurriedly shook his head, "I mean, we were careless. We will receive the additional training when we return!"
Fan Tianlei snorted in satisfaction.
