Chapter 307 A Newcomer Arrives

“If he doesn’t come out, then it’s our turn to go in.” Lu Zhenbang switched the screen to a border map. “This military exercise will last for half a month. During this time, you’ll have to find a way to enter Myanmar by extraordinary means and capture him within the specified time to bring him back to China! However, please note that…”

"This mission involves relations between the two countries, and everything will be carried out covertly. China will not provide you with any assistance openly! If this operation fails, you may not even be able to return home safely! Therefore, the mission must succeed! Failure is not an option!"

"clear!"

Wen Ni and the other three remained calm and answered decisively. They were not intimidated by the difficulty of the mission, and none of them backed down.

This prompted the three officers on the other side of the table to nod in approval repeatedly!

"As expected of the person chosen by the sword, he has the composure to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before him!"

"It wasn't that Sharp Sword chose them, but that they chose Sharp Sword. They risked their lives on every mission, facing certain death with unwavering resolve!" Lu Zhenbang's expression was solemn, his voice heavy with sorrow. "Sharp Sword will always be proud of them!"

"Yes, Captain Lu is right!"

Several superiors nodded repeatedly.

They knew Lu Zhenbang's background perfectly well. On the surface, they were his superiors, but behind his back, none of them dared to offend him!

They exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then sent one of them to speak on their behalf:

"There's one more thing I need to tell you all. The higher-ups know that one of the members of the Shadow Hunter Commando Team has retired due to injury. Fortunately, among the special forces members selected this time, there is an all-around new technology talent! He can fill the vacancy perfectly!"

“That’s right, the higher-ups’ message is very clear: they hope you can accept him and make him your partner!” The other two leaders echoed, turning to call out towards the door, “Qin Zhan! Come in!”

Wen Ni and the others slowly raised their eyes.

The conference room door was pushed open, and a man who was 183 cm tall walked in. His not-so-muscular build was wrapped in a brown-green training uniform, and he had red lips and white teeth, and was quite handsome!

"This time, Qin Zhan will only participate in the exercise with you. He cannot participate in actual combat missions. He is currently only a newcomer to the team, so the higher-ups hope that you will pay close attention to and take good care of him throughout the entire exercise!"

"Take care of him? What a novel term!" Leng Feng, who had been sitting upright, couldn't help but chuckle. "Sir, our assault team isn't a nursery. Once we're on the battlefield, who can take care of him?"

"Exactly!" Feng Sui couldn't hold back either, leaning back and completely abandoning his serious demeanor. "And what kind of dump is our Shadow Hunter Commando Team? We'll take anything! You just throw people in with a casual remark! Why does the military waste time and money on selections? They can just let everyone use connections!"

Standing at the door, Qin Zhan listened to their words, clenching his fists tightly. He was unhappy but couldn't show it.

The leaders did not look too happy either.

They turned to look at Lu Zhenbang with displeasure.

But then Captain Lu Zhenbang touched his nose and said in a low voice, "The Shadow Hunter Commando Team is going on important missions, so each of their members needs a period of time to get to know each other and achieve seamless cooperation! It's not like anyone can just parachute in."

The implication is that he can't handle this matter!

The leaders looked at each other, took a deep breath and held it in their chests. They looked around and then turned their hopeful gazes to Wen Ni, who had not spoken, and Long Ren.

"Look, the captain and vice-captain are more composed. Do you two have any objections to this?"

"Pah... ptooey!"

Long Ren didn't say a word. He turned his head and spat in the direction where Qin Zhan was standing.

"..." The leaders were all stunned, and they couldn't save face.

Feng Sui and Leng Feng exchanged a glance, smiled, and gave Long Ren a thumbs-up under the table!

These ignorant humans!

The captain and vice-captain of their Shadow Hunter Commando team are the most difficult to deal with!

"Alright, in front of these leaders, you all need to tone it down!" Wen Ni finally spoke up to stop them. She clasped her hands together on the table and looked up to meet the hopeful gazes of the leaders.

"Since our superiors have ordered Qin Zhan to come with us, we should obey orders and will not refuse."

"The captain is indeed reasonable!"

The leaders wiped the sweat from their brows; they had never felt so humble in the military headquarters office!

However, when it comes to these elite soldiers who live on the edge of a knife every day, their so-called official authority is nothing but a fart!

"There are two things I need to mention beforehand." Wen Ni paused, then continued, "First, Qin Zhan is only here to learn; he is not a member of our Shadow Hunter Commando Team! Second, any safety issues arising from his actions during the exercise, whether fatal or not, are none of our responsibility!"

"this……"

"After all, we have a mission. We are the sharpest sword of China, not his personal bodyguards or stepping stones!" Wen Ni's words were firm and straightforward. "I don't know which army commander's son he is, nor am I interested in knowing. I have no objection to you wanting to use the commando team to gild his reputation, but! That also depends on whether he has the fate to live to see that day unscathed!"

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Zhan's breathing became heavier.

"You can't even understand what I'm saying? What's the point of having a brain?"

Wen Ni's eyes were arrogant, and her words were ruthless and cutting!

"The international situation is turbulent, foreign enemies are eager to make trouble, and war is imminent! The guns and cannons on the real battlefield are not toys for you to play with! Even if you rise through the ranks and have high-ranking officials and generous salaries to protect you, bullets don't have eyes. They don't care whose son you are or what your background is!"

"Flowers protected in a greenhouse are useless things that can't stand the light! They can't withstand the ravages of storms! In the end, all you'll have left is a pile of broken bones and flesh! Even wild dogs would find you worthless."

"You! Don't go too far with your words!" Qin Zhan had never been scolded like this before, and his clenched fists hanging at his sides trembled uncontrollably!

"Am I being unreasonable?"

Wen Ni slammed her hands on the table, stood up abruptly, and walked right up to Qin Zhan!

With her hands behind her back and her chin held high, even though she was shorter than Qin Zhan, the aura she exuded overwhelmed him by more than three times!

Its disdainful gaze was like that of a beastly royalty surveying its territory.

“The place you’re standing on right now is the military building of 76482! You’re going to be working for the Sharp Sword Shadow Hunter Commando Team under 76482, and I am the squad leader of the Shadow Hunter Commando Team! I am also your direct superior! Even if I scold you, you have to take it! You can’t utter a single complaint! Do you understand?!”

"I……"

Qin Zhan gritted his teeth, glared, and stubbornly refused to back down.

"You're not happy, are you? Then get out! Don't have the nerve to say you want to be one of us! You're not worthy!" Wen Ni pointed her finger at his chest, her words sharp and cutting.

"I'm not leaving!" Qin Zhan shouted. "I'm staying! I want to prove I can do it!"

"Want to stay? Fine! I'll give you that chance! So that some people won't go back to the military and say I'm heartless!" Wen Ni crossed her arms and glanced down coldly. "Three hundred abdominal pull-ups. If you can't finish them, get back to your company!"
