Chapter 188: Chapter 188

Shen Jingwei didn’t even turn around, he simply judged the movements of the person behind him based on the sound of the wind in his ears, contracted his body to dodge the simulation dagger, and with a bending and extending of his elbow, delivered a Cannon Punch to the man’s stomach. Instantly, the soldier curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp. His facial muscles contracted into a knot, and despite being smeared with camouflage paint, it probably did not look good at all.

The move was simple, but it was executed too fast. Several foreign special forces soldiers could only watch wide-eyed as their comrade was taken down by the amazing move of this Huaxia soldier, then looked on as he swiftly dislocated his comrade’s jaw, wrists, and ankles. Dissatisfied, he directly covered the man’s helmet over his face to obscure his vision of the outside world, thereby increasing his sense of terror.

How could this be happening!

Although the scene was somewhat amiss, these were tough men who had struggled through gunpowder smoke and cannon fodder, and they wouldn’t be frightened by Shen Jingwei’s few moves; they weren’t fools. Although this guy was skilled, he most likely took advantage of the element of surprise. The soldiers heightened their vigilance, ready with weapons in their hands, not firearms loaded with blanks, but simulation daggers.

Shen Jingwei didn’t care about these things at all, turned around to look at the officer and said, "I’ll keep this man, you can go now."

The foreign army officer was clearly reluctant but helpless, facing someone both adept with his hands and sharp in mind. Being behind enemy lines, their biggest fear was being discovered. It was not easy for them to infiltrate, and they hadn’t acquired any targets yet; how could they allow themselves to be easily exposed.

After weighing the pros and cons, the officer decided to withdraw first. After all, this was the first exercise since the two countries had resumed cooperation following that sensitive incident. If a misunderstanding arose because of his mistake, his position as team leader would surely be doomed.

"We’re withdrawing, can we take this man with us?"

Shen Jingwei shook his head, "No."

"Friend, don’t be like this, think about it, you can’t beat us, according to what I know, Huaxia’s superiors never want to see such things happen."

"I’m just a security guard, and I have to deal with anything that threatens the safety of my superiors personally. No threat can be overlooked. And..." he glanced at the man’s unmarked clothing, "your identities are too special, I cannot overlook this."

"Oh, my God, kid, you’re really cute."

With that, the officer drew a real tiger-toothed combat steel knife from behind his waist, not a fake one.

Shen Jingwei sneered, "I’m warning you, if you don’t leave now, I guarantee you’ll regret it."

Nine people formed a circle, trapping this insolent youngster in the middle, with the officer in charge at the forefront. He said something in Russian that Shen Jingwei couldn’t understand, and then his subordinates all reluctantly glanced at Shen Jingwei and quickly retreated in a certain direction, presumably withdrawing or possibly moving on to the next target.

The team members all understood the purpose of their captain’s actions. The worst that could come out of it was the captain being captured, too—a sacrifice of two was certainly better than the entire team being wiped out. But, of course, that was impossible; the captain was the champion of the World Special Forces Competition. How could he lose to some kid? Ridiculous!

Shen Jingwei bent down and pulled out the dagger strapped to his leg. As he unwrapped the white cloth strips, a blade with a chilling presence was revealed in his grip, instantly fostering a bond as if it were an extension of his own flesh and blood.

Shen Jingwei couldn’t fit into even the smallest clothes available in the military; his combat uniform had been altered by Gu Canghai’s daughter-in-law. While it felt somewhat awkward, it also made him look valiant. The Alpha Team Captain across from him, donning his military cap, held out a dagger in front, as if he was ready for action.

Shen Jingwei held the knife loosely in his hand, carefully regulating his breathing. Not for an instant did he let his guard down; he knew that during the previous fight, he had benefited a bit from his opponent’s underestimation. The killing aura emanating from these men was almost similar to that of Gu Canghai, and having been nearly beaten to death by Lei Bao before, Shen Jingwei was well aware that there are always higher skies beyond the sky.

The atmosphere in this small area began to grow peculiar, not just for the two standing men but also for the soldier lying on the ground. He knew that something had changed and wisely stayed quiet, just wincing silently in pain. Ah, the agony of having a joint dislocated—no one could endure that without a reaction!

"Nobody move!" From not far away, shadows emerged from the bushes, running over with guns in hand, and sounds of vehicles approaching could be heard from a distance.

Seeing the utterly bewildered expression on the face of the foreigner opposite him, Shen Jingwei’s lips curled into a grin of sheer delight. Reaching into the pocket of his field uniform, he pulled out a small device resembling a car key. "This is a sensor. It’s used to notify nearby surveillance posts."

Capturing the Alpha Captain alive, Shen Jingwei’s face beamed with a child-like triumphant smile.

Before the military exercise had even started, the Huaxia officer took the trouble-making Shen Jingwei, along with the limping ally, to make an apology. On the grand battlefield of a million soldiers, the Political Commissar of the Central Military Commission offered apologies with a broad smile, comforting the Alpha Captain who had mistakenly entered the Huaxia camp and sternly rebuked Shen Jingwei for not knowing the rules, indicating a determination to discipline him properly upon return. Meanwhile, the generals and staff officers seated in the conference room covered their mouths, trying to stifle their laughter, pondering to themselves how such an embarrassment for the Huaxia military ended up being caused by an outsider from Beiping City.

After the meeting, and a rare moment of rest, the two elderly men strolled along a path strewn with withered grass, bathed in the glow of the evening sunset. Soldiers bustled by them now and then, and smoke from the cooking tents of the mess unit curled into the air, unexpectedly adding a hint of home to this iron-blooded military camp. Accompanying them were eight or nine staff officer aides who always followed closely, despite the old men telling them not to follow earlier, but who would dare not accompany them? So the old men just let them be.

Two guards walked alongside their respective leaders, their eyes moving vigilantly. The responsibility resting on their shoulders was not only for the immediate surroundings but also for enemy movements in the distance. Who could guarantee that a hidden sniper wasn’t aiming at their leader right at that moment? Being a guard was no easy task.

"Old Gu, your guard, cough cough, is not bad at all!"

Gu Canghai laughed heartily, "Jiang Laopao, you old rascal, stop coveting my soldier. Give it another two years, and I can guarantee you this guy will be first-rate talent within the entire military region."
