Zhang Lisi is an expert in the theory of various firearms and a communications and technology specialist, codenamed "Little General." He appears short, wears glasses, and has a refined demeanor, but he is actually quite capable and is the technical expert of the team.
Yang Meilin, a female soldier and deputy captain, is the hardest-working member of the team, dedicated to proving that women are no less capable than men. She possesses considerable skill in combat and weapon handling, but her greatest strength lies in her mastery of poisons. Her various poisons are incredibly difficult to detect and administer. She also has medical skills, working part-time as a military medic. Her codename is "Black Widow," a name that sends chills down one's spine.
Upon entering the tent, Lin Chen noticed her immediately. She was wearing a crisp, form-fitting military uniform, and her short, shoulder-length hair gave her a dashing appearance. Although her face was covered in camouflage, obscuring her features, her face shape suggested she was definitely a beauty.
Most importantly, she is actually Yang Meixi's second older sister!
This information stirred something within Lin Chen. He hadn't expected to encounter Yang Meixi, this jinx, as a relative here. It seemed this mission was destined to be anything but ordinary!
Luko, codenamed "Black Mamba," is renowned for his masterful trap-setting, impeccable tracking skills, and deadly assassination techniques. Despite being thirty-four, this hasn't diminished his brilliance; rather, it has added a touch of composure and experience. This operation is, for him, the swan song of his career. Once the mission is accomplished, he will hang up his boots and retire, enjoying a long-awaited peace.
"Captain, are you sure he can do it?"
Yao Dao frowned, his doubt evident in his eyes, a distrust hanging over his heart like a dark cloud. The other team members remained silent, but their eyes also revealed varying degrees of suspicion and unease.
Faced with the crowd's doubts, Zhao Zhuowen merely smiled mysteriously, a smile that seemed to contain endless meaning. He glanced at Lin Chen, then his gaze swept over the crowd again, as if offering them some kind of silent encouragement.
"Everything will be revealed tomorrow." Zhao Zhuowen's words were brief and powerful, like the first ray of dawn before sunrise, piercing through the fog in everyone's hearts.
Everyone remained silent, but Lin Chen's attention was drawn to two exceptional women—Huang Ya and Yang Meilin. They stood out not only because of their gender in this male-dominated field, but also because of their unique personalities and talents, making them indispensable members of the team.
Huang Ya is a supercharged version of the early Liu Tiantian. She and Lin Chen are both snipers, a coincidence that creates an invisible competitive atmosphere between them.
From the moment Lin Chen stepped into the team, Huang Ya's gaze was as sharp as a sword, full of hostility and challenge. Her eyes were exactly the same as Liu Tiantian's when she misunderstood him, which made Lin Chen feel a headache.
After all, he had just pulled Liu Tiantian back on the right track, but now he had encountered an even more formidable "opponent," and this "opponent" was wielding a deadly weapon!
As for Yang Meilin, as Yang Meixi's second older sister, her existence evoked even more complex emotions in Lin Chen. Her appearance undoubtedly exacerbated Lin Chen's headaches.
...
Before the first rays of dawn pierced the mountains and forests, the sky at 4:30 a.m. was still shrouded in a deep blue-black. The temperature in the mountains and forests was far lower than in the bustling city, carrying a chill that seeped into the bones.
With a horn sounding, it turned out to be time to get up?
Lin Chen had never gotten up so early before, and for a moment, he even regretted accepting Zhao Zhuowen's invitation. However, as a new member of the team, he knew he couldn't be the exception, so he fought off his sleepiness and greeted the new day with the other six.
"Old Dog, today's special training is very simple. You will learn to snipe in three seconds. First, pick a sniper rifle that you like."
Zhao Zhuowen prepared three high-quality sniper rifles for Lin Chen. Within the team, they all addressed each other by code names, but the nickname "Old Dog" always sounded a bit awkward to Lin Chen.
For Lin Chen, it didn't make much difference which sniper rifle he chose, so he casually pointed to the one in the middle, a moment that Huang Ya happened to capture.
In her eyes, Lin Chen's actions were undoubtedly a sign of complete ignorance of sniping techniques. Not only could she see it, but the other team members, who had dealt with firearms for many years, also knew perfectly well that Lin Chen had virtually nowhere to hide from them.
A surge of dissatisfaction and disappointment welled up in Huang Ya's heart. She was unwilling to pass on her skills to a complete novice. After all, training a novice who knew nothing about sniping into a qualified sniper was no easy task.
"Captain, are you sure you want to put this rookie on such an important mission? He looks like a complete novice."
Huang Ya suddenly stopped, chewing gum as she spoke to Zhao Zhuowen beside her. Her tone was full of distrust and even disdain for Lin Chen, and she also had unprecedented doubts about Zhao Zhuowen's decision.
She couldn't understand why the captain would choose such an obvious novice to carry out that crucial mission.
"Captain, I think to be on the safe side, we should still hand over the sniping task to Three-Second Girl. Her sniping skills are already among the best in the world. She should be able to handle this mission without any problems."
The demon swordsman held a cloth and kept wiping his sharp dagger. Under his wiping, the dagger reflected the morning sunlight, but gave people a cold and chilling feeling.
The demon sword's gaze, sharp as a blade, was fixed on Lin Chen. His eyes held not only hostility but also a complex, unspoken emotional entanglement. The root of all this was that the demon sword had always harbored deep feelings for Huang Ya!
The Demon Blade continued, "We've gathered here to complete this crucial mission. It's an order directly from our superiors, and its importance and danger are self-evident. At this critical moment, I don't want the mission to fail or even cost us our lives because of anyone's mistake."
Black Mamba sat lazily on the ground, a blade of grass dangling from his lips. He seemed nonchalant, but his words revealed an undeniable firmness: "Everyone listen to the captain. Don't cause trouble at this time."
Deputy Captain Yang Meilin remained silent, but the youngest and shortest general behind her came over with a grin and teased, "Sister Widow, why don't you say something too!"
However, Yang Meilin simply replied, "We will all listen to the captain."
It's clear from this scene that the young general harbors special feelings for Yang Meilin, while Yang Meilin idolizes Zhao Zhuowen the most. Lin Chen silently deactivated his Insight skill and shook his head helplessly. He knew all too well that wherever there were men and women, love triangles were bound to arise!
Zhao Zhuowen's strength is beyond doubt; he has earned everyone's respect through his outstanding abilities. However, getting these team members to obey him completely is no easy task.
After all, everyone here is among the strongest, possessing an unruly and rebellious nature. Although they differ in strength, there is no overwhelming gap between them. In certain situations, they can even exceed their usual combat capabilities.
Although Yang Meilin and the young general did not directly express their doubts about Lin Chen, their eyes and attitudes revealed their distrust and disdain for him.
Lin Chen understood this, after all, these people were all top performers in their respective fields and possessed a natural sense of superiority. Moreover, the "Red Sea Operation" club had a much higher entry threshold than the ordinary military, and those who could enter were by no means ordinary people.
Take Yang Meilin for example. She's the second young lady of the Yang family in Haizhou, a business savvy woman in the eyes of outsiders. Who would have thought that she would appear in the "Operation Red Sea" club, a place teeming with experts, and even become the vice-captain of an elite team, carrying a gun and carrying out dangerous missions?
As for the other team members, they are no ordinary players either. If they were to step outside the "Operation Red Sea" club, they would all be top performers in their respective fields!
