Chapter 38: Get the White Tiger Again! Do you want to be an observer like me?
On Saturday morning, Xu Ge took Li Dongshui to the military dog squad again.
In the yard, Du Hu was sitting in the sun, with the little Si dog lying lazily at his feet.
"Sergeant, where are the others? Where are those little military dogs?" Xu Ge came in and asked, looking at the empty kennel.
"They've gone for a physical exam and injections and won't be back until the afternoon. Just cook for Baihu today." Du Hu pointed to the kennel. "I've washed the dishes. You can clean the kennel first."
Li Dongshui walked into the room familiarly, moved out a chair, and took out beef jerky and melon seeds from his coat pocket. Little Siquan immediately got up, and the two of them and the dog sat there eating snacks and cracking melon seeds while watching Xu Ge work.
After Xu Ge finished cleaning the kennel, he saw the ground covered in sunflower seed shells and yelled, "Li Dongshui, you come sweep the floor later! We're here to help the squad leader, and you're acting like a big shot!"
"What are you pretending to be? Everyone knows that you want to take advantage of Baihu again. Do you think Baihu will pay any attention to you?"
Li Dongshui said as he fed a piece of beef jerky into the little Siquan's mouth, "Don't you agree, Baihu?"
"Woo-woof!"
The little Siquan ate beef jerky in big mouthfuls and glanced at Xu Ge with a shake of his head.
Xu Ge was so angry that he laughed: "Bai Hu, what's with that look in your eyes? Do you still want me to cook for you?"
The little Siquan said nothing and continued to grab Li Dongshui's legs to ask for beef jerky.
Xu Ge was about to enter the kitchen when he saw several round sealed containers piled at the base of the wall. He walked over to take a look out of curiosity.
As he got closer, he could smell a subtle scent emanating from each container.
"Sergeant, what are these things for?" Xu Ge asked curiously.
Du Hu: "That's the tool I used to train Bai Hu to track scents. Don't break it!"
"You're using this to train Baihu to track scents? It's useless, right?" Xu Ge picked up one and said, "It's filled with pepper, right? Even I can smell it."
Du Hu was stunned and immediately sat up straight: "Really? Smell the remaining ones again."
Xu Ge picked them up one by one: "This one contains vinegar, this one contains chicken essence, this one contains sugar, and this one contains... Holy crap! It stinks! Squad leader, what's in these?"
The smell in the last container made Xu Ge feel nauseous, but he couldn't smell what it was.
As his sniffing skills reached an advanced level, Xu Ge's sense of smell, hearing, night vision and motion capture abilities became stronger and stronger.
Just like these round jars, he can smell the scent inside as soon as he gets close.
However, he also discovered a problem. That is, as his sense of smell improved, the amount of odor information he received every day became increasingly huge, and his brain had unconsciously begun to automatically filter and screen it.
For example, he can recognize some familiar or familiar smells from a long distance, but unfamiliar smells will be ignored unless he specifically searches for them or consciously captures them.
The smell in the last jar was the strongest, but because he was not familiar with it, he didn't smell it at first.
"Oh, the jar at the back contains the socks of other trainers." Du Hu stood up and walked over.
Xu Ge: ???
"Can you really smell it?" Du Hu picked up the jar and put it under his nose to sniff carefully. "I think it's okay."
Xu Ge: "Squad Leader, it's normal that you can't smell it. The white tiger can definitely smell it. It's useless to train it with this!"
"I was wondering why it always finds its way back no matter how far I throw it. It seems the seal isn't tight enough!"
Du Hu picked up the jar and went into the room. "I'll tape it back together. Go cook first."
Xu Ge went into the kitchen and popped his head out after a while: "Does anyone want to eat egg custard today?"
"Woof!"
The little Siquan suddenly jumped up from Li Dongshui's feet.
Xu Ge waved his hand: "If you want to eat, come and help."
The little Siquan hesitated for a while, and finally walked over slowly.
Xu Ge closed the kitchen door with a sly smile on his face.
When Du Hu finished his work and came out of the room, he found that there was no one in the yard. There was only a bowl of steaming dog food and a little Si dog lying beside it with a look of grievance on its face.
"Why did these two guys leave without even saying goodbye?"
Du Hu came over and asked, "Bai Hu, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
“Oh!”
The little Siquan grunted twice and began to eat listlessly.
Du Hu was stunned when he saw Bai Hu like this: "Did that bastard torture you again?"
The white tiger's mouth drooped, and it looked even more pitiful.
Du Hu was so angry that he immediately chased to the door, but saw that the two figures had already run a long way on the road.
"Xu Ge, you bastard, if you dare to come here again, I will break your legs. I will no longer be called Du Hu, but Du Gou..."
Two hundred meters away, Li Dongshui, who was being dragged along by Xu Ge, stopped and looked back: "Is the squad leader calling us?"
"No, you heard wrong, let's go!"
"I clearly heard someone shouting."
"Oh, he yelled that if you didn't sweep the floor after eating sunflower seeds, he would break your legs!"
"I don't believe it. You must have gotten into trouble again, otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious to drag me away!"
"If you don't believe me, why don't you go back and try it?"
Xu Ge hurried on his way, feeling a pang of regret when he looked at the skill values on the token.
Sniffing: Advanced (48/50).
The little white tiger could be promoted to special level if he cooperated twice more, but this guy refused to pay any attention to him.
However, Xu Ge felt satisfied because he felt that his perception ability had reached a new level.
. . .
. . .
The weather is nice today, sunny and windy.
Although it was winter, the sun was very dazzling. Both of them were wearing military coats when they went out. After walking for a while, they felt a little hot, so they unbuttoned their coats.
When they were almost at the camp gate, Xu Ge's ears moved and he suddenly stopped and looked back.
After a while, a Prado appeared in sight.
"Hey, this looks like Uncle Wang's car!" said Li Dongshui.
Xu Ge said unhappily, "Did I forget to tell you that your Uncle Wang is Wolf Head?"
Li Dongshui was stunned: "Huh?"
"What? You said last time that you would join me in beating the wolf's head. Don't go back on your word!"
As the two were talking, the SUV stopped by the roadside.
The car window was rolled down, and inside was Thor and Xu Can, who was wearing a military uniform.
Lei Shen didn't say anything. Xu Can came down carrying two large bags of gifts and looked at Xu Ge with a complicated expression: "Xu Ge, are you still angry with me?"
"Uh...I...that..." Xu Ge was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Yes, he was embarrassed.
The last time he got angry at Xu Can in the hospital, he was severely scolded by Guo Yuanshuai for a long time.
In fact, Xu Ge later realized that it was unreasonable for him to blame Xu Can.
But he was really angry at that time. It was the first time that someone close to him was hurt. He didn't know how to deal with it at all, and subconsciously found someone to vent his anger.
"I just got discharged from the hospital today. Is my old deputy squad leader here? I came to see him." Seeing Xu Ge hesitating, Xu Can changed the subject and asked.
Xu Ge was shocked. Xu Can had been in the hospital for such a long time. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
Just as he was about to answer, Lei Shen spoke: "Li Dongshui, take Xu Can in. I want to talk to Xu Ge about something."
"Oh, okay!" Li Dongshui took the things from Xu Can's hand and led him into the camp.
Lei Shen hooked his finger at Xu Ge and said, "Get in the car, let's talk."
Xu Ge got on the passenger seat and sat there without saying a word.
The Thunder God glanced at him and said calmly, "Why, when we meet, instead of calling me Chief Instructor, you're not even willing to call me cousin?"
Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "Happy New Year, cousin!"
When he calls him Chief Instructor, he will think of Thor being Hidden Wolf's man. When he thinks of Hidden Wolf, he will think of what Wolf Head said that day, and he will feel unhappy.
"How are you doing recently? I last saw Li Dongshui at your regiment's sniper training class. Why didn't you go?" Thor asked with a smile.
Xu Ge curled his lips and said, "Cousin, you know my marksmanship. It's nothing but a quick shot... Oh, by the way, isn't there a guy named Chen Wei in the sniper training class who has a very fast shooting speed?"
"Li Dongshui told you, right? Yes, his speed is comparable to yours, but he is much more accurate than you!" Thor replied.
Xu Ge turned his head and looked at Lei Shen seriously: "Cousin, last time you said you were the fastest man in the brigade, were you bragging?"
Thor was unhappy: "When have I ever boasted?"
Xu Ge: "Didn't you just shoot the banner on the snowy mountain on your first day at the shooting range..."
"Stop!" Thor lit a cigarette to hide his embarrassment. "Why are you asking me if I'm the fastest?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Xu Ge actually wanted to confirm one thing, that is, what level he could reach after upgrading his rapid-fire skill to the upper limit of master level.
"Cousin, are you faster than Wolf Head?"
The last time Wolf Head said in the ward that the squad leader was not fast enough, he must have been very confident in his own shooting speed.
Thor blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Let me tell you this, Wolf Head taught me all my spear movements, but ever since I fought him to a draw three years ago, we haven't sparred since."
Xu Ge nodded, feeling relieved.
If I could reach the master level of Thor, there would definitely be hope of defeating Wolf Head.
When the time comes, he will find a way to become the new wolf head, and then change this set of moves to make that guy mad to death!
"By the way, cousin, what did you want to talk to me about?" Xu Ge came back to his senses and asked.
"I've read your merit report. Li Dongshui and the others have won individual third-class merit, but you only have a second-class collective merit. What do you think?" Lei Shen looked at Xu Ge.
Xu Ge remained calm: "What can I think? He has already killed the enemy. Isn't it normal to make meritorious service?"
"Really no idea?"
"Really not!"
Thor stared at Xu Ge for a while and found that this boy really didn't seem to care, so he couldn't help laughing.
Xu Ge was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Thor didn't answer, but asked, "Have you ever heard that a two-man sniper team is equivalent to a special forces unit?"
Xu Ge shook his head. He had never heard of this statement before. At the same time, he was curious why Thor suddenly said this.
"A two-person sniper team consists of a sniper and an observer. The sniper is responsible for sniping high-value targets, while the observer is responsible for everything other than shooting, including but not limited to finding the target location, providing shooting parameters, protecting the sniper, planning retreat routes, and so on!"
"This requires the observer to possess a wide range of skills. While a two-person sniper team is considered equivalent to a special forces unit, it's actually primarily the all-round observer who is most effective."
"An excellent sniper, like Old Face, can indeed complete solo sniping missions in most situations, but when faced with complex, dangerous, and difficult missions, he must have me by his side!"
"But in the eyes of most people, the sniper's brilliance is very dazzling because he is the one who completes the sniper kill, but few people realize that the observer is the most important one."
Xu Ge listened attentively. It was also the first time that he had such a deep understanding of the concept of observer hand.
Thor suddenly pointed at himself and said, "I am the best observer in the country, bar none!"
Xu Ge was shocked. The confidence and domineering manner in which the Thunder God spoke left no room for doubt.
"Xu Ge, do you want to become a top observer like me?"
The next sentence from the Thunder God made Xu Ge confused.
