Red Eyebrows and the others helplessly let go of the weapons in their hands. Dragging their steps, they came to the Jungle Ranger like students who saw their teacher after making mistakes.
“Master…”
A soft whisper slipped out from Red Eyebrows’ mouth whereas the others bowed their heads obediently. In their hearts, Qin Fen wasn’t merely just their boss.
Although the training was strict to the extent where they were almost killed, it cultivated a special kind of emotion. That was not fear but respect.
“Wang Hao is dead.”
The words were emotionless but it brought a heavy impact that stunned Red Eyebrows and the others at the same time.
Dead? Wang Hao once experienced four to five assassinations in one day, yet managed to detect them before they happened. The Wang Hao who was able to evade a sniper’s aim easily despite being located thousands of miles away had died unexpectedly.
Red Eyebrows smiled helplessly after being dazed for a moment. Coming to think of it, it wasn’t anything too surprising. Just because others couldn’t do it didn’t mean that Qin Fen couldn’t do it either..
“General Wang…”. Red Eyebrows sighed and concluded, “He was too overconfident.”
Qin Fen was very satisfied with the reaction of Red Eyebrows. The man had been killed already. It was silly to still question the reason for killing him.
“What are your plans?”
Qin Fen broke the silence between them once again.
“Plans?” Red Eyebrows smiled and shook his head, “What plans can people like us have? You can go back and see whether Ming Kun is still alive, and see if you are interested in being the new leader of the Emperor Army. If you would like to follow him or find other forces in the Golden Triangle…”
“Don’t go back, that place is not suitable for you all.” The Jungle Ranger stood quietly, “What good is there in being a drug dealer? Be a mercenary. Your skills and cooperation between you guys are good. Even if you can’t be prestigious, it’s better than being a drug dealer.”
“Mercenary?” Red Eyebrows’ head that had just been lowered raised quickly suddenly, his eyes were glowing with hope, “Do our strengths qualify for us to be mercenary?”
“Should be enough?” Qin Fen paused for a moment, “Even if you can’t be prestigious, survival wouldn’t be a problem if you take note of the difficulty of the tasks when you’re choosing them.”
Red Eyebrows turned to look at others and found that their eyes were also filled with excitement.
The Jungle Ranger who didn’t move until just now suddenly lifted his left arm and pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, “We don’t know where these people came from. Although your strength is good, having equipment is better than strength. At first, you will also need equipment and funds if you want to be mercenary. The equipment here can help you during your starting period.”
“Their strength was not bad?” Red Eyebrows sighed and shook his head. The Tiger Army that was trained by Wang Hao could only be considered good in the mouth of the master.
Other members also smiled at each other. How could the equipment on the ground be only a little help? Wang Hao invested a huge capital on the Tiger Army. All the equipment here was a vigorous attempt to imitate the military’s a-class special forces.
For example, the twelve Impetus Fist on the ground were hard to get on the black market of the arms market. Wang Hao spent a lot of effort and only bought twelve of them. He couldn’t equip the whole team with Impetus Fist.
Jungle Ranger moved his feet. It was flexible, like the legs and feet of a real person. An Impetus Fist that was slightly larger than the human hand was in his hands.
“I’ll take one of this.”
Qin Fen glanced at the Impetus Fist in his hand. He had only heard of this toy before — he hadn’t really ever seen it. When Qin Fen saw it today, he realized that the power wasn’t small.
In a more exaggerated manner, this Impetus Fist was almost a mobile armor arm worn on the hand. Any ordinary people who weren’t martial art practitioners could wear this Impetus Fist. It could deliver the maximum output disregarding the damage on the body. A strike on a six-star martial artist could render him heavy damage like a shattered persimmon, even if it was martial artists of the Iron Mantle class.
Red Eyebrows shook their heads without any objections. Even if Qin Fen took half of the equipment on the ground, the remaining half could easily arm them to the fittest.
Qin Fen turned slowly and said to the Red Eyebrows again, “Remember, don’t stay in the Golden Triangle. There is no real future here.”
As soon as the power system under his feet switched on, the Jungle Ranger disappeared into the jungle as quickly as its name.
This time, there were no traces left on the ground.
The Redbrows looked at each other in the eyes and silently began to clean up the weapons on the ground. No one was surprised to see the mobile armor driver level that Qin Fen had just demonstrated.
After all their time spent together, the Red Eyebrows team had become accustomed to this small master’s, who was younger than them, performances of omnipotence.
Jungle Ranger quickly crossed the jungle. Qin Fen, who was in the Jungle Ranger, began to understand why so many people dreamed of becoming mobile armor drivers.
Manipulating this stuff was really powerful. The speed generated by the power system could reach the point that ordinary martial artists couldn’t.
Even the Jungle Ranger, a mobile armor that didn’t value strong firepower, was beyond the average armor.
The firepower of this first-generation Jungle Ranger was more violent than the firepower of a special class. The power exerted together was powerful to the point where it was actually somewhat outrageous.
Perhaps, only the martial artists of the Comet level with good military equipment in hand could destroy the mobile armor of an ace driver level in human form?
After a short journey, Jungle Ranger’s radar finally received a signal that was not familiar but still recognizable.
Qin Fen quickly and carefully approached the signal. It was not long before he saw Lin Ling. Chen Feiyu was also accompanied by two middle-aged men wearing something that Qin Fen did not know of. Both of them wore a shirt with a password.
Last night, Chen Feiyu walked out of the Emperor Military Camp with Lin Ling. At this time, the finger gently made a safe gesture.
“Hello.” Qin Fen did not leave the Jungle Ranger. The two men in front of him were masters of the Comet level. He learned to be careful in the Golden Triangle.
Here, one might die at any time. Lin Ling was very smart, but she wasn’t necessarily exempted from this fact. Driving the Jungle Ranger, Qin Fen had confidence in a one-on-one. Out of it, the one-on-one victory rate was low.
“Hello.” The two middle-aged men of the Comet level were careful about Qin Fen and expressed a smile of appreciation, “The plane is over there.”
A sparrow vertical hoisting fighter whirled a huge propeller.
Qin Fen wasn’t too surprised looking at the slightly aged combat helicopter. If the military’s latest combat helicopter appeared in the Golden Triangle, it was more likely it’d attract the attention of the Golden Triangle. Switching to this ancient combat helicopter, it matched the weapons of certain forces in the Golden Triangle. It would be easier to blend in.
The ground slowly distanced, and soon this view became an overlook.
Qin Fen sighed out a long breath, and if nothing unexpected, the mission was completed.
“Recruit Qin Fen.” One of the two martial artists of the Comet level took out a small DVD player in his hand and gently placed it on the cabin floor.
The projection was distorted and soon a face that Qin Fen wasn’t too familiar with appeared.
The Major General issued an order sternly with his military uniform, “Kid, when you see this, you should have completed the assignment the Federation gave to you. As long as the Federation verifies it, your military deeds and rewards will be given on time. At the request of several drill instructors, you don’t need to go back to Shenyang after you complete the mission. Head directly to the recruit camp. The Federation Recruit Tournament is about to begin, kid…”
The Major General suddenly raised his clenched fist and shouted in front of his chest, “In the contest, give me a ruthless fight! Showcase the heroic strength of our East Asian soldiers!”
Qin Fen’s chin was subconsciously lifted. The change in the last paragraph of the major was too big. It completely exceeded his expectations.
The projection distorted gradually, disappearing without a trace.
The martial artist who spoke before picked up the projector on the ground and looked at Qin Fen, “Kid, say something. Can you complete the general’s last task? I will go back and return to the general.”
Recalling the final look of the general, the pride of Qin Fen’s heart suddenly ignited. Jungle Ranger’s right arm of the steel played a military salute that was above average compared to many soldiers, “I can surely complete the task!”
“Very good.” The martial artist smiled as he raised his hand, clenched his fist and gently hammered the steel plate on the chest of Jungle Ranger, “Kid, these past few years, our East Asia military…the recruits were shamed in the Recruit Tournament. This time, even West Asia and Africa said that they want to overturn us. When the tiger doesn’t bare their teeth, it would be thought to be Hello Kitty! Give them a ruthless punch. Punch them for me.”
“Understood!”
The feeling of hope that was pinned by people made Qin Fen’s blood gradually boil.
After the fighters flew out of the Golden Triangle, they landed at the airport where two Eighth-Mach Supersonic Transport Aircraft were parked.
“Lin Ling, you are taking this. Qin Fen, you are riding that one, and you! You…” The seasoned soldier looked at Chen Feiyu with some doubts. There were only two people in his order.
Qin Fen quickly stood in front of Chen Feiyu and said, “He is with me.”
“Good! You two hop onto that!”
Qin Fen took a deep breath. He turned around and reached his hand out to Lin Ling.
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment. She stretched out her scented hand and held Qin Fen’s big hand.
“Goodbye!”
“Goodbye!”
Separating their hands, Qin Fen turned and strode towards the plane.
Lin Ling stood quietly in the same place. She stared at Qin Fen’s back for a few seconds before turning around expressionlessly toward the plane she was going to take.
The plane had just landed at the airport of the recruit camp. As the cabin door just opened, the figure of several people of Hao Squad leader has appeared in the sight of Qin Fen.
“Hey! Kid, not bad…” Hao squad leader dragged his words, “From the Golden Triangle, you’re still able to grab a Jungle Ranger and give us good reputations.”
Phoenix smiled and walked up to Qin Fen. The leg lifted and struck at a medium-sized Jungle Ranger chest plate. The powerful explosive force caused the Jungle Ranger to step back two steps before stopping.
“Little thing. You’re still not coming out.”
Phoenix smiled. Qin Fen quickly opened the Jungle Ranger and walked out from inside.
This year, no matter how powerful he was in the Golden Triangle. Seeing this future sister-in-law, he could hardly man up. His prestige of the Emperor Army’s “Monster” was long gone.
Butcher looked at Qin Fen with a cold eye, “Six-star-class? You raised your strength really fast.”
The eyes of other people were also brightened at the same time, not long after seeing six star-class. Although martial artists who passed the age of 18 enter a period of rapid growth, this speed was way too fast, right?
Gun King said, “It is a strange freak like Qin Zhan.”
Hao squad leader followed with a smile, “Freak is good! We are all freaks. If you teach a normal disciple, do you feel respectable?”
Several drill instructors laughed at the same time. If Qin Fen wasn’t a freak, they would already send him to Country Wazhua.
Boor didn’t bother with Qin Fen. He stood around the Jungle Ranger and walked a few laps around it. He pushed the eyes of Sven on the bridge of his nose and said, “It’s a pity. It’s a pity. It was preserved so completely. The steel plate on the chest was smashed, ruining its beauty.”
“What? Boor, do you have an opinion on this sister’s foot?” Phoenix saw Qin Fen come back safely. She happily patted Boor’s shoulder, “Otherwise, I am looking for someone to reshape the piece of steel perfectly. Do I move my leg to your chest?”
“This…” Boor waved his hand again and again, “Forget it, forget it.”
While everyone was laughing, Boor came to Qin Fen and said, “Yes, this trophy not bad. According to the provisions of the federal military, the seized spoils are awarded to the winners at 10% of the market price.”
Upon hearing the reward, Qin Fen’s eyes lit up again. He regretted not picking up the two most expensive equipment in Wang Hao’s arsenal.
Enzo Rota strode out from behind several drill instructors. He threw a silent gaze at Qin Fen, then came directly into a most passionate bear hug.
“How is the learning?”
“Quite good.”
Enzo Rota’s answer attracted several onlookers.
In particular, Squad leader Hao, who walked around Enzo Rota a few times. He looked at Enzo Rota for a long time, as though he was staring at an alien and said, “Are you talking again?”
Several other drill instructors looked at the expression of Squad leader Hao and they couldn’t help but laugh. Qin Fen smiled a little.
Phoenix, still laughing, bent down and said to Qin Fen, “You. In addition to learning with Cookster, there are occasional words. You usually do not say a word, acting so cool that girl soldiers scream excitedly. Old Hao noticed such a fun person, and now naturally he won’t let go. Immediately, he bet with Cookster and others, saying that he could trick Enzo Rota to speak. The result…”
Other people laughed in an even more exaggerated manner this time. Squad leader Hao, with a shy expression, also showed a hint of red at this moment.
Qin Fen watched this scene. There was no need to ask — he also knew that Enzo Rota had a mouth that was difficult to open. It even caused the psychology master level squad leader to suffer a loss.
“Ai! What a misfortune. What a misfortune.” Squad leader Hao looked up with a sad face and shook his head. He raised his hand and patted Qin Fen’s shoulder, “Your friend has good psychological quality. If you learn psychology with me, I’d immediately drive you out of the division! He is more suitable for studying psychology than you.”
Qin Fen could only nod helplessly with a bitter smile. Enzo Rota was a super versatile character who could compare with Lin Liqiang in high school. It was difficult for anyone to overthrow his calmness. It was a pity to not learn Squad leader Hao’s psychology.
Enzo Rota patted Qin Fen’s shoulder and turned to quickly push out the instructor crowd. Qin Fen knew that this good friend was eager to learn pharmaceuticals with the cook. Qin Fen was back and it was enough to make him, who indulged in pharmaceuticals, come out.
Even the palanquin with eight carriers couldn’t invite him.
Of course, if Lin Liqiang came… Qin Fen believed that Enzo Rota must be the first to appear at the airport. In the trio, Lin Liqiang’s entangling effort was superb.
Qin Fen and Enzo Rota knew that if they didn’t pick him up the plane the first time, this buddy would be sad next to them, like a wife who was abandoned and kept saying in their ear, “I am so sad, I am sorrowful. My heart, it hurts a lot…”
That sentence was a hundred times cornier than the most nauseous romance novel. Strong as Qin Fen with Enzo Rota’s psychological strength were, it was a nightmare that could wake someone up with goosebumps.
“Huh?” Squad leader Hao went and stood in the cabin. He stood in front of Chen Feiyu, who had yet to move, and assessed Chen Feiyu, “Butcher. Come! Come! Look at this man!”
Butcher stepped forward and looked at Chen Feiyu in surprise.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Fen asked. “Do you know each other?”
“We don’t.” Squad leader Hao’s head swayed like a rattle, “I just think that the aura of this person is very similar to Butcher. When he kills, it must be clean. There is absolutely no hesitation.”
“Yes.” Butcher affirmed the words of Squad leader Hao, “Unfortunately, his age is too old. Otherwise, if he learns my skills, he wouldn’t necessarily be much slower than you.”
“This…” Qin Fen said a little troubled, “Actually, I brought this friend back because there is something I want to ask from a few drill instructors to help.”
“Oh? What is the matter?”
Squad leader Hao was watching Qin Fen very keenly. This person, who almost never asks for help, actually opened his mouth. It seemed that he really attached importance to this matter.
“My friend.” Qin Fen stood next to Chen Feiyu and reached out as he continued, “There was a seriously ill sister who was unfortunately confronted with a sexual assault by a municipal officer of a Federation at that time. The municipal officer was caught and killed by him. He had to go into exile in the Golden Triangle. I can guarantee that he has never been a drug dealer. His life there always relied on the life-or-death arena.”
Butcher heard the words “life-or-death arena”. His eyes flashed the expression “I see”.
Squad leader Hao crossed his arms across his chest and smiled at Qin Fen, “What is your ultimate goal? Restore citizenship?”
Qin Fen nodded directly to the few drill instructors without any pleasantry, “If you can, it is best to arrange him into the army…”
“Entering the army?” Squad leader Hao with silent doubts, constantly looked at Chen Feiyu, “Restoring citizenship doesn’t require one to enter the army. You can survive outside… forget it! Army it is then!”
Squad leader Hao saw Qin Fen’s eyes full of pleading, knowing that there was a reason behind it. Squad leader Hao simply agreed.
Chen Feiyu was silent for a while. Then, he gently bent down and said, “Thank you.”
Restoring citizenship was a very difficult thing for many people. Qin Fen believes that even if Squad leader Hao and others did this, it wouldn’t be a simple matter. No matter what it also involved the Federation law.
“The identity of the soldiers is not difficult to get, but only the identity of the recruits can be obtained.” Squad leader Hao said bluntly, “The army is not like society. The discipline here is more rigorous. It is not the place that you just come and go. It happens to be in the Recruit Tournament, there are documents needed for the upper level or else it won’t be really difficult.”
Butcher approached the other drill instructor and whispered a few words. Everyone turned back with a variety of expressions.
This move caught the attention of Qin Fen.
He walked two steps in front and stood face to face with Butcher, “Try it?”
Butcher smiled, “What is the use of strength improvement? The important thing is whether the ability to kill people grows with the improvement of strength. This is important.”
“Alright!”
Facing Butcher again, Qin Fen’s blood in the body immediately boiled. Since the creation of his own “Martial Emperor Dragon Fists” in the Golden Triangle, he had always wanted to find a strong enough character to try it out. He could look for the shortcomings of the fist technique in the battle and correct it in the future.
Win? Qin Fen didn’t want to win.
If Qin Fen kept winning, he couldn’t stop to find his own shortcomings and mistakes.
Losing sometimes made better progress.
Drill instructor Butcher was undoubtedly a very suitable candidate. There was almost no chance of winning in a fight with him, but he could completely let go.
After the word “alright” left Qin Fen’s mouth, the aura of Qin Fen suddenly changed! Chen Feiyu’s opened his eyes wide. How long did I get to know him? How could he become stronger again? Or did he not use all his strength when he was in Wang Hao’s military camp?
Squad leader Hao and Phoenix’s eyes were filled with countless surprises. Compared to Qin Fen before he left the military camp and Qin Fen now, he was two completely different people.
“Sure enough.” Butcher appreciative gaze was filled with happiness, “I didn’t waste my effort to fight for this task for you this time. The actual strong character can only be shaped in a life-or-death battle. Kid, you can stop.”
“Stop?” Qin Fen was somewhat reluctant to put out the aura of power, “Don’t you want to fight?”
“Fight? Of course, we have to fight.” Butcherer glanced, “Just that not now.”
Squad leader Hao came to Qin Fen and stretched his finger to the right.
Qin Fen discovered that there were several people who he wasn’t too familiar with coming.
State of Korea’s Neo Taekwondo Park Jong-Hwan, State of Japan’s Neo Sumo Gangwon, Neo Muay Thai and New Karate’s Zha Can, even Kyokushin Genichi. Qin Fen had never seen them, but the face made it seem like a recruit from the state of India.
In addition to the last person, several other people had seen Qin Fen. Most of them had also involved in some sort of combat.
Even if these people were defeated, the aura of power on the face wouldn’t be too weak. There would still be a feeling of vigor.
Today, the faces of these people weren’t great. The aura that was always been in high spirits was now completely absent.
A few people dropped by in silence. Qin Fen was even more surprised. These people were injured on the face. Although they are already recovering, one could still see the signs of injury.
On the day of the match, Qin Fen knew how heavy his hands and feet were. These people had already fully recovered by the virtue of advanced medical equipment and their own strong body and high-efficiency drugs. It was reasonable to say that the injured aura should not be exposed on the surface.
“You…” Qin Fen was puzzled, “This is…”
“Being beaten up.” Zha Can said with a decisive hand, “It doesn’t matter. You’re finally coming back.”
Qin Fen was surprised by the news. The strength of these people wasn’t weak. It took a lot of strength to hurt them.
“Go.” Park Jong-Hwan thumbed his back and said, “You are the first recruit in the recruit camp. It is natural that you will give us the face of East Asia recruits.”
