The Favored Son of Heaven

Satan, who was observing the screens, stopped leaning back in his chair at this very moment. His two legs were no longer kicked up on his desk.

He sat his body up straight, bringing his two legs down from the table and back to the ground. He reached out to grab the pager on the table, and he quickly pressed a few keys and numbers. He blocked communications to Blowfish’s and Yellow Eel’s pagers before speaking. “Everybody. Two anomalies outside of the plan have appeared in this hunting field. One is a woman, and two are men. They are divided into two tiny teams, and they have already eliminated three of y’all. From how they look now, it seems like they will continue to strike back at you guys…”

“Really? Captain, where are these two kids?”

The communication device received the questions of eight seasoned soldiers simultaneously.

Satan stared at the screens with both eyes. “The woman may be only by herself, but I feel that she is more dangerous.”

“Captain, leave the woman to us eight people.”

The other eight seasoned soldiers expressed their willingness to fight.

Satan snapped his fingers. He was very happy that his own soldiers hadn’t formed emotions of underestimating the enemy, even though the enemy were recruits. They didn’t request to engage in a pursuit individually.

“Excellent. Right now I will inform you all their current coordinates, as well as their personal expertise that they’ve displayed during recent times.” Satan began to extend a hand to rub his bright and shiny head. “It’s been so long since I’ve encountered interesting trainees. I really want to know just who in the world their drill instructors are.”

————-

Gasp gasp gasp…

Qin Fen, who possessed great endurance, was gasping for large mouthfuls of breath. He quickly weaved his way among the trees of the rainforest. His bullets and the M134 Vulcan Cannon had a total weight that exceeded fifty kilograms. Even though he used a Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to maintain his feet, he still felt an exhaustion that was incomparable. He really wanted to toss everything to the ground and lie down for a proper nap.

However, every time he thought about being captured by the seasoned soldiers and how that would absolutely have the conclusion being beaten up like a pig, he always felt that his body strength should be able to continue maintaining his pace.

Du Peng followed closely behind Qin Fen. His complexion wasn’t as calm and collected as it had been in the very beginning. The might of eight seasoned soldiers added together was truly far too strong. They didn’t even need to open fire at all. They just relied on their proficient coordination and formation, and the might they radiated caused Qin Fen and Du Peng to have no option but to turn tail and run.

Du Peng was quite shocked at the ability that Qin Fen displayed. He had actually been a step ahead of the enemy, discovering that they were being encircled by eight seasoned soldiers and would be attacked. Qin Fen had firmly decided to retreat, and they successfully avoided the joint encirclement and annihilation by the eight seasoned soldiers.

However, something happened right as Qin Fen planned to rely on the terrain and prepare to launch a counterattack that the eight seasoned soldiers were not expecting at all. The terrifying Satan had actually personally made a move!

The main drill instructor of this time’s training carried a small scale grenade launcher, the M-16. The aura itself was sufficient to kill a person.

The eighth seasoned soldiers didn’t have a core leader among them. Qin Fen believed that he could rely on his status as a recruit, as well as target the sole weak point of the enemy group—the lack of a true commander—to fight around with them.

In the end, Satan appeared. Qin Fen knew that if the situation were to develop into a true life or death decisive fight of slaughter, the likelihood of him and Du Peng prevailing didn’t exceed the hundredth of a percent.

Whether it was a martial artist’s strength or combat experience within the jungle or the number of people, there was not a single point where Qin Zhan and Du Peng held dominance in.

If one was completely at a disadvantage, what should one do? Obviously, just run!

Qin Fen and Du Peng finally got a taste of what the other recruits had felt all this time.

“Captain, we basically finished with the net here on our end. The prey has already been pressured to the designated area. How are things going on your end?”

Information from the team of the other eight seasoned soldiers was transmitted to Satan’s earphones. He spoke a few codewords to the eight-team members behind him before whispering, “I have also pressured the prey into the designated area.”

“Does this mean that we can begin reeling in the net now?”

“That’s right, the net can be reeled in now.” Satan raised his head to look at the sun coming through the jungle. “Though we don’t need to mobilize this many people to eliminate those three in a life or death slaughter, we were nearly struck by their counterattacks in today’s exercise even though we mobilized this many people and used up so much time. With such a shameful matter happening to us, how should we deal with this?”

“Captain, after this training is completed, we will engage in a training of reflection! And this reflection training will be stronger than normal by two times!”

Someone else’s firm voice could be heard in Satan’s headphones, and it caused Satan to feel extremely pleased. His own team had quite the ample fighting spirit. This was the best news of all.

Rustle…

Qin Fen and Du Peng stepped on the ground that was covered with leaves as they dashed wildly without stopping.

Qin Fen ran in the very front. He suddenly stopped his footsteps. It was in this very moment that someone, not too far ahead from him, had stopped their running footsteps as well

“It’s you?”

Qin Fen saw the female soldier, whose name was Lin Ling. Right now her hair was a bit disheveled. There were many cuts and scrapes all over her uniform due to the vegetation of the jungle. Clearly, she was also in a frantic state of escape.

Qin Fen studied Lin Ling, and Lin Ling studied Qin Fen.

Rustle…

Another wave of hurried footsteps could be heard. Snake Head, Mute, and Big Rock—the team of three—rushed over from a different direction. They too were stunned when they saw Qin Fen and Lin Ling looking face-to-face with each other.

“You guys…”

In the end, it was Qin Fen who took the lead to open his mouth.

Qin Fen pointed at the direction behind his body. “Satan has brought eight seasoned soldiers to engage in encirclement and annihilation against us two.”

Snake Head’s team of three cast their gazes at Lin Ling.

“There are eight seasoned soldiers behind me.”

Compared to Qin Fen, not a hint of sweat could be seen on Lin Ling’s forehead. It was unknown whether it was because her endurance surpassed that of Qin Fen or because all she carried was a P308 in her hands.

Snake Head’s eyes bulged as he looked at the three people before him. “You three people have attracted all the firepower?”

Qin Fen had no choice but to study Lin Ling once more. He had believed that she was being chased by a couple of seasoned soldiers at most. He never thought that nearly half the amount of total seasoned soldiers in this exercise were conducting a pursuit of her.

Snake Head studied Lin Ling some more as well. To be able to successfully escape from a single seasoned soldier was already a very difficult task. This woman, relying only on her own strength, had actually escaped from the pursuit of eight seasoned soldiers for the time being? In addition, she looked much more relaxed than the man known as Qin Fen. Where in the world did this woman come from? How come Snake Head was unable to discover any information on her whatsoever when he was collecting information about the other recruits?

“So it turns out things are like this… then you all should…” Snake Head grabbed his two companions to turn around and leave. “I just suddenly remembered something. We started to heat up a pot of water. I think it probably started boiling by now.”

Qin Fen gave Snake Head quite the smile of respect for being able to joke around at a time like this.

“They are almost here. Adding you three, our chances of winning are still as low as before.”

Qin Fen’s voice hovered in everyone’s ears. Lin Ling was expressionless as usual. It was just that this time she faintly nodded her head, indicating that she had heard him.

Snake Head turned around once more. “Us three added together aren’t even capable of dealing with the single-season soldier that had chased us. Right now there are seventeen people chasing us all of a sudden. We won’t be of much use, you know.”

“Then do you guys want to fight?” Qin Fen slowly strode a step forward. “No matter what you guys think, I will fight. Even if we face the drill instructor, even if the ultimate conclusion is an assured loss, I will still fight! I haven’t come to this training just to admit defeat.”

“I will fight too.” Du Peng practically followed Qin Fen in sync as he took the first step. “I hate losing, but I hate not fighting and failing even more.”

“Fight.”

Lin Ling short utterance made Qin Fen think of Enzo Rota.

Right now this woman looked just like a female copy of Enzo Rota.

“Actually…” Snake Head scratched his head. “I also don’t like to surrender and admit defeat. These are quite tasteless things. In addition, my two companions have an overflowing desire to do battle.”

Big Rock gave a silly laugh. The weapon in his hand was a P308 Carbine Rifle as well. Right now its safety was already off.

Though Mute didn’t say a word, his eyes were filled with the desire to fight.

“Okay!” The warlike blood dormant in Qin Fen’s body began to awaken and boil once more in this moment. “Since things are like this, then let us give those seasoned soldiers a beautiful counterattack and fight right here in this place! Since they believe that they’ve completely controlled us, as long as one of us can break through the encirclement, it counts as our win in this fight.”

The others all nodded their heads as well. They were inferior to the enemy in terms of equipment, manpower, and strength. It was far too unrealistic to speak of a reversal that could wipe out the enemy in such a situation.

Qin Fen squatted down with his body. He used a small tree branch on the ground to quickly draw a simple topographical map. “One of my personal strengths is commanding a small team in coordinated combat. Everyone, if you have this specialty, please speak out. If not, then I will take charge in this fight.”

Everyone took half a step back. Qin Fen nodded, and he continued to draw his topographical map.

Satan brought his small team to press forward bit by bit. Since they have completed their net of encirclement, there was no need to be anxious about their opponents fleeing, unless they could stick on wings and fly away. Right now they needed to be careful around those weird and bizarre traps.

During the chase, Satan had nearly captured Qin Fen several times. However, during the crucial moments, he would always get flustered by the imaginative and bold yet not mature traps that Qin Fen had set up. By the time he expended some effort to get out, Qin Fen had already smacked his butt and ran off far into the distance.

Among them, there was a seasoned soldier whose entire face was covered with the black mud that Qin Fen had given him.

Satan knew that if this mud was swapped for a bomb, this subordinate of his wouldn’t have a dirty face of mud but rather his entire skull removed instead.

The size of the encirclement shrunk bit by bit. Satan avoided a mud pit and began to roar loudly. “Crafty kid, you should’ve joined with that girl, now that I think about it, right? What do you think? Aren’t you quite shocked? That I pressured you two together without you two knowing at all.”

….

The rainforest was a sheet of silence. It was as if Qin Fen and the others weren’t here at all. However, Satan could clearly feel the auras of several people. He knew that even though he couldn’t detect Qin Fen’s aura, which demonstrated how strong the kid’s concealment ability was, that didn’t mean that Qin Fen wasn’t here.

“Slippery little kid, you are no idiot. You should be able to see your current situation very clearly, right?” Satan yelled very proudly. “There’s already nowhere you can run now. I will use your Chinese military strategies and tactics to explain your current situation. You have already fallen into a danger zone of soldiers! Actually, your performances have already proved that you guys are trash that can be recycled and used. Just toss your weapons and come out obediently right now, and this will be an excellent chance for you to show your intelligence and wisdom…”
