The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Domir Khan's hot blood splattered onto the face of the officer next to him. The officer touched his face and stared blankly at his blood-stained hands.

The Fas soldiers beside him released their grip on Huangfu Qingyi and tried to call out.

boom!

Bang!

puff!

A bullet pierced the back of the head, and the Fass soldier fell face down in the mud, lifeless.

The officer finally realized what was happening and pulled out his pistol, intending to fire a shot into the air.

Huangfu Qingyi leaped up from the ground and slammed his right knee into the abdomen of the Fass officer.

The Fars officer was in so much pain that he curled up like a shrimp. Huangfu Qingyi pressed down on him, clamped his legs together, and snapped the officer's neck.

Another Fass soldier in charge of escorting Huangfu Qingyi raised his gun and aimed it at Huangfu Qingyi on the ground.

Bang!

Eject the spent cartridge, chamber a round, and aim the gun.

Zhang Fan waited for the sound of the next shell hitting the ground.

Huangfu Qingyi lay down on the French officer, drew the dagger from the officer's waist, and cut the ropes binding him.

Bang!

Taking advantage of the sound of the shells landing, Zhang Fan shot and killed a Fass soldier who was close to the command tent. Due to the obstruction of the tent, the other Fass soldiers had not yet noticed the unusual situation in front of the command tent.

Having broken free of his restraints, Huangfu Qingyi used the corpses of several Fass soldiers to build a makeshift shelter. He then picked up a laser submachine gun and, while prone, began firing in all directions.

Da da da da!

Screams erupted around them as the unsuspecting Phos soldiers were harvested by laser guns like straw.

Some of the Phos soldiers reacted and began to return fire. One Phos soldier took a grenade from his waist with his right hand and pulled the safety pin with his left.

Bang!

A bullet severed the right wrist of the Fass soldier, and the grenade fell to the ground.

boom!

The grenade exploded in the center of several Fass soldiers.

Click.

Bang!

Zhang Fan no longer concealed the sound of the gunshot.

Quickly eject the spent cartridge case, load the round, and fire.

Bang!

Just as a Fass soldier was about to raise the heavy machine gun behind his cover to fire, he was blown to the head by a bullet.

Huangfu Qingyi quickly leaped up, ran a distance, and then rolled into the cover, raising the heavy machine gun behind it.

Beep beep beep beep!

Heavy machine guns spat fire, and the bodies of the Phos soldiers hit were severed in two. Limbs and torsos flew everywhere, and blood filled the forest and grassland.

Click click click.

The heavy machine gun has run out of ammunition.

The Fas soldiers began to counterattack, surrounding the bunker under the cover of fire. Huangfu Qingyi was pinned down by the concentrated fire and could not lift his head.

At this moment, Zhang Fan's sniper rifle had run out of bullets and he was changing the magazine.

Da da da da!

The Phasian soldiers behind him screamed in agony as they fell to the ground, riddled with bullets in their backs.

"team leader!"

A female soldier named Ryan drove a paratrooper vehicle out of the dense forest, carrying a two-meter-tall strong man who gripped a four-barreled Gatling gun mounted on the vehicle's frame.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Gatling gun bullets were like the wind, blowing across the meadow.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

After the wind subsided, only the smoking, idling four-barreled Gatling gun remained, and the entire battlefield fell silent.

"Waaaah—"

A Phos soldier suddenly got up from the ground and ran wildly into the dense forest.

"Don't let him get away!" Huangfu Qingyi jumped out of the cover and shouted as he chased after the Fass soldier.

The Rhine female soldier and the burly man immediately jumped off the wrecked paratrooper vehicle, drew their daggers, and chased after the Phos soldier.

puff!

As the soldier was crossing a puddle, he suddenly fell to the ground, and a bright bayonet emerged from his back.

Huangfu Qingyi, the female soldier Ryan, and the strong man all stopped a dozen meters away from the puddle.

Pooh!

Zhang Fan pushed aside the Fass soldier and stood up from the puddle, holding his sniper rifle.

Pooh!

Damn it, his mouth is full of mud.

Muddy water dripped from the cooks' uniforms, and Zhang Fan couldn't help but shiver. He had been lying in the puddle for five or six hours.

"Huangfu Qingyi, Commander of the 'Shadow Fang' Special Operations Brigade of the Ryan Nation's Army." Huangfu Qingyi stepped forward and extended his right hand. "How shall I address you?"

"Pah!" Zhang Fan spat out another mouthful of muddy water, his teeth chattering and unable to speak.

"You bastard!" The female soldier Ryan stepped forward, glaring angrily at Zhang Fan. "Our captain is asking you a question!"

"Sophia! Stop fooling around!" Huangfu Qingyi glared sternly at the female soldier.

"Captain, I..." The female soldier called Sophia looked aggrieved, but dared not lash out. She could only stare at Zhang Fan with unfriendly eyes.

Zhang Fan also glanced at the female soldier named Sophia a few times.

Sofia has short, brown hair that reaches her ears. She has a well-proportioned and muscular figure, exuding strength without being overly muscular, which makes Zhang Fan think she is somewhat like a younger version of Katerina.

"Brother, what's your name?" The burly man stepped forward. "I'm Boris, the deputy captain of the 'Shadowfang' special operations team. I don't think I've seen you before."

Zhang Fan's teeth chattered, and he didn't want to speak. He raised his hand and patted his armband.

Huangfu Qingyi, Boris, and Sophia fell silent upon seeing the "102nd Airborne Brigade" armband on Zhang Fan's arm.

The 102nd Airborne Brigade is a ragtag unit hastily assembled from mercenaries. In the Shadow Fang Special Operations Battalion's decapitation operation, it was used as cannon fodder to draw the attention of the Fas Khan Army's 3rd Division.

Before this, no one cared about the fate of the 102nd Airborne Brigade.

So that's how it is. All three felt a little ashamed, thinking in unison: No wonder the other side was so indifferent to the renowned "Shadow Fang" special forces of the Ryan Nation's army…

No way! I'm freezing, I don't want to stand here staring at you guys.

Zhang Fan had no idea what kind of Shadow Fang Rabbit Teeth the other party had. All he wanted to do right now was find a cave to sit down and warm himself by a fire.

“Brother, the 102nd Airborne Brigade no longer exists.” Huangfu Qingyi extended his right hand again. “Interested in joining our 'Shadowfang'?”

"Captain?" Sophia's eyes widened.

She knew how difficult it was to get into the Shadowfang Special Forces. The over 95% first-round elimination rate alone was a nightmare for every Ryan soldier who aspired to join Shadowfang.

Even the earls and marquises of the Duchy of Ryan dared not use their power to force their children into "Shadowfang" for a prestigious training program, because they knew it could really be fatal. The routine daily training in "Shadowfang" alone was enough to make new recruits suffer greatly.

The captain of Shadowfang took the initiative to extend an invitation, which was absolutely unprecedented since the team was founded, so it's no wonder that Sophia was so shocked.

“I was born a member of the 102nd Airborne Brigade, and I will die a ghost of the 102nd Airborne Brigade.” Zhang Fan cleared his throat and found that he could finally speak, but because he was so cold, his tone was also icy.

Who would join your crappy special operations brigade?

Zhang Fan thought to himself.

I'm here to get a green card. You think I really want to join the army? I'm retiring this time, you idiots!

Zhang Fan didn't waste any more words and turned to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that you look like Liao Changtian, I would have left long ago.

Following the principle of "surviving to the end," Zhang Fan only wanted to find a place to hide and survive until the end of this battle, as his naturalization points would be enough to obtain Ryan citizenship.

"Captain, who is that person? Why is he so aloof?" Sophia stood on tiptoe and glanced in the direction Zhang Fan left.

"I don't know, but he's definitely not an ordinary person." Huangfu Qingyi looked in the direction Zhang Fan left with some regret. "It's a pity we couldn't recruit him into 'Shadow Fang'."

"This is the first time I've met a Lion soldier who would refuse 'Shadowfang'," Sophia said, sticking out her tongue. "Captain, do you like him that much?"

“A sniper who can lie motionless underwater for five or six hours and kill the enemy commander with a single shot would be highly sought after in any unit.” Huangfu Qingyi was still heartbroken that he hadn’t been able to recruit him. “What’s more, he saved my life.”

"He's the one who blew up 'Fos Eagle' Domir Khan's head?" Sofia's eyes widened in surprise.

“That’s easy,” Boris said. “Since you like him so much, Captain, we’ll go back and submit a report to the military headquarters, requesting that he be transferred here.”

"No." Huangfu Qingyi shook his head. "Forced melons are never sweet. The way we treated the 102nd Airborne Brigade before, I guess 'Shadow Fang' is the unit he least wants to go to."

"What ambition!" Boris exclaimed, looking in the direction Zhang Fan had left. "I'm growing to like him more and more."

"Private Zhang Fan, cook of the 102nd Airborne Brigade." Huangfu Qingyi silently read the soldier's nameplate he had just seen on the other man's chest. "I'll remember you."

"Let's go." Huangfu Qingyi waved to the two of them. After all, this was behind enemy lines, and they couldn't stay any longer.

"By the way, Captain," Sophia asked curiously as they walked, "'The Cook Squad' is some kind of mysterious unit, isn't it?"

“Yes,” Boris asked, “I’ve never heard of this unit before.”

"I don't know." Huangfu Qingyi shook his head as well. "It might be a special unit designation like our 'Shadow Fang'."

"Oh!" The two looked as if they suddenly understood.

"The cookhouse."

"That sounds so cool!"
