Chapter 68 Qiangtang No Man’s Land.
"Change into casual clothes?"
Xu Ge was stunned for a moment, "Platoon Leader, my casual clothes are in the suitcase in the camp warehouse!"
"The chief instructor has prepared it for you. Go find him outside later."
"Platoon leader, where am I going on business?"
Xu Ge couldn't help but be curious, what kind of business trip required wearing casual clothes?
"Why are you asking so many questions? You'll know once you get there. Let's eat!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge didn't have time to look for Li Dongshui to get skill points. He quickly finished his meal, reported to Du Hu, and walked out of the shooting range.
After coming out, I didn’t see the chief instructor, but I saw Lao Wang’s Prado.
Didi!
The horn honked twice, and a blue-haired young man wearing sunglasses stuck his head out of the cab and glanced at Xu Ge.
Xu Ge was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person was the chief instructor in disguise, and hurried over.
"Chief Instructor, are you looking for me?"
It has to be said that the Thor in front of him had completely turned into a different person. If Xu Ge hadn't known it in advance, he believed that he would not be able to recognize him even if they passed by each other on the street.
"From now on, you will call me cousin." Lei Shen shook his head and said, "Get in the car and change your clothes first, cousin."
"yes!"
"Don't say that. Remember, from now on we are cousins, and you are not a soldier!"
"Oh, yes cousin!"
Xu Ge responded, opened the car door and got into the back seat, where he found clothes already prepared.
A windbreaker, a pair of overalls, a pair of hiking shoes, a hiking bag and some outdoor supplies.
Xu Ge took off his coat, picked up his windbreaker and put it on, and found that it fit him well.
"Cousin, are you going to take me on a trip?"
"Bingo!"
Thor snapped his fingers, and his entire demeanor changed dramatically.
"Change your clothes, and listen to me."
Thor turned his head and said, "Two new recruits are currently taking part in our Hidden Wolf assessment. The assessment task is to find a foreign poaching gang of around seven people and completely wipe them out without providing weapons or transportation."
Xu Ge, who had just taken off half of his pants, froze in his seat: "Poachers must have guns, right? Isn't this just sending them to their deaths?"
"The content of each new recruit assessment is different. This is formulated by Wolf Head. The purpose is to train new recruits' ability to kill enemies in extreme environments. No means or methods are restricted."
Thor smoothed his hair with his hand, "Cousin, can you let me finish first?"
"Okay cousin, please continue." Xu Ge put on his pants and started tying his shoelaces.
"Of course, we also know that this kind of assessment is very dangerous, so every time we have veteran team members secretly following and protecting us. This time, it was Sniper Old Face who went."
Hearing this, Xu Ge’s mind instantly flashed with the bearded man he saw on the snowy mountain.
Thunder God continued, "According to my observation, the military quality of this group of poachers is surprisingly high. I was about to cancel this assessment, but those two rookies took action this morning.
Then, until now, Lao Lian and the two rookies have been out of touch."
Xu Ge's expression turned serious.
"Their current situation is unclear. Rashly sending a drone over to investigate could very well backfire. Wolf Head wants me to go over there and bring them back."
After saying that, Lei Shen looked at Xu Ge and said, "Do you know why I brought you with me?"
"Why?"
"Because you just joined the army, you don't have much of a soldier's air, so it's more suitable for you to play a student who is here for tourism."
"Cousin, if you say so, then other recruits are also suitable?"
"But only you have seen my face, and my face has seen you. In special circumstances, we can skip the communication link."
Xu Ge seemed to understand and nodded: "Then I will listen to my cousin."
Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually getting nervous inside.
From what Thor said, they are going to have close contact with that group of foreign poachers!
Lei Shen glanced at Xu Ge's expression and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. Just think of it as going on a trip with me."
"Um!"
Xu Ge opened the car door and handed his military uniform to the sentry at the shooting range as requested by Thor.
When I came back and was about to go to the back seat, I was stopped by the Thunder God: "Cousin, can you drive?"
"A little."
"What do you mean a little bit?"
"I've passed the driving test but haven't driven yet."
"Then you can practice." Thor said and moved to the co-pilot seat.
Xu Ge: ???
After getting in the car, Xu Ge started the engine clumsily according to his memory, and then figured out the various control buttons of this Prado with the help of Thor's explanation. He stepped on the accelerator and the car started to move slowly.
"Drive boldly! You're in a no-man's land, so what are you afraid of? Get familiar with the car as soon as possible!" Lei Shen lit a cigarette. "It doesn't matter what you get with the four-wheel drive. Just follow this road and don't go into the ditches."
Hearing the other party say this, Xu Ge felt relieved and started to step on the accelerator while steering.
"See that slope? Go up there, turn on the four-wheel drive and feel it. Go as hard as you can. Lao Wang won't feel bad!"
"Okay!"
After getting familiar with the car for a while, Xu Ge became excited and boldly tried the mountain off-road driving.
Amid the roar of the engine, the car rushed all the way and soon rushed onto National Highway 219.
. . .
. . .
"How do you feel now?"
Lei Shen gestured for Xu Ge to pull over to the side of the road and asked, "Is this car drivable?"
Xu Ge nodded: "I got it!"
On the token, the driving skill has been upgraded.
Driving: Intermediate (2/10).
This also allowed Xu Ge to confirm one thing, that is, although the skill caps on the back of the token are determined by the object being extracted, and the general skill value cannot be used to upgrade after reaching the cap, he can continue to improve normally through training.
"Switch back and let me drive for a while."
After the two exchanged positions, Thor took out Xu Ge's claw knife and a 92 pistol from the armrest box.
"The knife is sharpened, the pistol is fully loaded, and you keep them all on you."
Xu Ge took it, and the cool touch of the pistol instantly calmed his excitement.
"The gun is only for self-defense, so that you can feel at ease and not panic. You have never fired a pistol, so don't use it unless it is necessary."
"Um!"
Thor turned on the music, started the car and continued driving.
Along the way, the two began to chat.
"Cousin, do you know why I was responsible for bringing Lao Lian and the others back?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm the next Wolf Leader, I have to be responsible for the people in the team!"
Xu Ge: "Cousin, didn't you say you were the spotter? Shouldn't the sniper take over?"
He didn't know whether what Thor said was true or not, but in his opinion, snipers were better than observers.
"What happened to the observer?"
Thor was visibly agitated. "Did you know that in all of our Hidden Wolf sniper teams, the spotters are always better than the snipers?"
"What else can a sniper do besides shooting? He can do nothing! Don't you want me to clean up the mess this time? Do you know that I am the commander in every operation?"
Xu Ge suddenly understood: "So that's how it is!"
"That's right. I think you have the potential to be an observer. Work hard and strive to join the Eighth Company in the future."
"Um!"
After the car had been driving for more than half an hour, Thor turned the steering wheel, rushed off the national highway, and began speeding across the Gobi Desert.
An English song was playing on the speakers, and Thor was singing along with his head shaking.
"Yeah hehe!"
"Hey hey hey, it's a brand new day, ahaha..."
Xu Ge was infected by the other party's state and began to shake his body unconsciously.
Gradually, the road ahead became more and more desolate, with endless wasteland all around, and even the direction was difficult to discern.
But Xu Ge could feel that the altitude was rising.
"Cousin, where are we going?"
"The Qiangtang No Man's Land, the second largest in the world, has an average altitude of over 5,000 meters!" Lei Shen laughed loudly. "Cousin, I'll take you on an extreme journey!"
"Alas!"
"There's no one living here for hundreds of miles. Go wild as you please. No one will see you even if you run naked now!"
Not long after, the Prado drove onto an asphalt road, and then was stuck in traffic because there were too many cars in front.
