"A bunch of rookies!"
Seeing the admiration in the eyes of his three capable subordinates, Campbell took another puff of his cigar. Under his calm expression, countless thoughts were surging.
Zhou Yuan is very mature, unlike the other newcomers.
When a man like him makes a decision, it can't be swayed by persuasion alone.
Besides, what he said earlier was true. The Special Operations Forces pay attention to every unit and every outstanding soldier.
Zhou Yuan has already caught the attention of the Special Operations Forces. Yesterday, an old friend even asked for detailed information about his character.
Instead of useless rejection, it's better to sell some personal favor.
Maybe a few years later, when he encounters a bottleneck, Zhou Yuan will have the ability to help him.
... ...
On the other side.
After receiving the new shoulder patch and updating his personal information, Zhou Yuan returned to his dormitory feeling refreshed.
This trip really paid off.
Not only did he get promoted to Private First Class, but he also got the opportunity to transfer.
Speaking of which, he really has to thank Campbell. He didn't expect Campbell to be so easy to talk to.
If he were the platoon leader and had outstanding soldiers who wanted to leave, he would definitely try harder to keep them.
But Campbell didn't stop him, instead he used his connections to help him, so Zhou Yuan owed Campbell a favor.
"Zhou, did you go out to pick up girls again?"
Seeing Zhou Yuan smiling so much that his mouth couldn't close, the soldier in the bunk next to him, Moore, asked curiously.
He was the first veteran to pick a fight with Zhou Yuan on his first day reporting here, and he was also the one who got beaten up the worst by Zhou Yuan.
But as time passed and grudges were resolved, they had been getting along quite well over the past few days and occasionally played cards together.
"No, something even better."
"I solved a troublesome matter that would have driven me crazy."
Zhou Yuan smiled and shook his head, quietly took out a cigar and threw it to Moore.
He had a kind of obsessive-compulsive psychological problem.
As long as something isn't resolved, or doesn't get a satisfactory result, he would keep thinking and obsessing over it, never forgetting.
But once the matter is resolved, he feels relieved and comfortable all over.
That's how he feels now, incredibly relaxed.
"Okay, that's worth celebrating. It's a pity we can't drink, otherwise I would definitely treat you."
Moore put the cigar on his ear and smacked his lips.
In the army, it's really hard to have a drink. If possible, he would even be willing to spend double the federation credits to buy some alcohol.
"There will be a chance."
Zhou Yuan leaned against the head of the bed and smiled.
He had a few boxes of good wine in his variable string ring, but unlike cigarettes, alcohol is an absolute contraband in the army.
He can taste it privately, but he absolutely cannot share it, otherwise it would harm both himself and others.
Zhou Yuan stayed in the dormitory until ten o'clock.
After all the team members woke up, Zhou Yuan went to the cafeteria with them for a meal, then took turns guarding the defensive wall.
He worked hard today and earned over three thousand soul points in eight hours, only taking a half-hour break during mealtime.
Since the appearance of the Genetic Evolution Fluid.
He wanted to earn as many soul points as possible in the shortest amount of time.
And there was also the matter Campbell mentioned, a big shot might come to the Eighth Team's defensive area.
He needed the big shot to notice him, the Bug Killer, as soon as they arrived.
... ...
For the next few days, Zhou Yuan remained in killing mode. He was able to collect over 3,000 soul points every day, and his balance grew with each passing day. The only downside was that the important person Campbell had mentioned still hadn't shown up.
On the sixth day, a group of strangers finally arrived at the defense wall. There were fourteen people in total, led by Campbell. One was a brigadier general, one was a colonel, and one was a captain. The remaining ten were all sergeants and corporals.
The brigadier general and colonel were from the strategic forces, dressed in standard military uniforms and looking unremarkable. However, the eleven behind them, led by the captain, were all part of the mobile forces and had extremely unique armaments. They wore space armor that could be used for combat in a vacuum, making them look like walking skeletons with white bone markings on their black suits.
If Zhou Yuan had seen this equipment, he would have recognized it immediately. They were special forces! Only the special operations unit within the mobile forces had the authority to order unconventional weapons from the arms department. Clearly, this group of people was the important person that Campbell had spoken of, and they were key to Zhou Yuan's entry into the special operations unit.
However...
To break through his soul point balance beyond 70,000, Zhou Yuan was currently focused on exterminating insects and had not noticed the situation at the defense wall staircase.
"General, that's Zhou, my strongest soldier." Campbell pointed to Zhou Yuan on the watchtower, speaking to the brigadier general beside him.
The brigadier general carefully observed Zhou Yuan through a telescope and looked surprised. "Campbell, you better not be kidding me. Are you sure this little guy can take down forty-seven soldiers in five minutes?"
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. He's like a human weapon, and no one can stop him. Not only can he take down forty-seven soldiers in five minutes, but he can also kill 2,000 bugs in eight hours!" Campbell nodded seriously, speaking with great conviction.
"Human weapon?" The brigadier general was finally interested, nodding slightly. "Bring him over and let's see what he's capable of."
"Yes, sir!" Campbell responded and went up to the watchtower to call Zhou Yuan down.
"He's finally here!" Zhou Yuan took deep breaths and adjusted his state as he descended from the watchtower. Campbell had quietly told him earlier that this was his chance to enter the special operations unit, and he had to seize it.
"General!" Zhou Yuan saluted respectfully as he approached the group of soldiers.
Brigadier General Joe Angus was the leader of the special operations unit at the Tarsus Fortress. To put it simply, he was the boss of the special forces, and all missions undertaken by the special forces were ordered by him. He was an absolute big shot.
