Chapter 1 Simple Tasks (I)

  "Tang Feng, Xu Qiang, Guan Zhiyong. The three of you step forward." In a certain mountainous region of Country Z, a mysterious troop was stationed here. At this moment, the warriors were undergoing afternoon training, and their leader, a middle-aged man with a major general rank, stood at the edge of the drill ground and shouted.

  "Yes." The three loud voices rang out on the empty playground. As soon as the sound fell, only the three young people at the front of the team took a step forward in unison.

  The middle-aged man sighed softly and said, "Go back to disarm and come to my office." After that, he turned around and walked towards the not-too-distant office building.

  The three young people looked at each other in confusion and walked towards their dormitory.

  After 10 minutes, the three of them had finished their baths and were dressed.

  "Feng Ge, what did the captain ask us to do? We didn't make any mistakes." The speaker was named Xu Qiang, the youngest of the three, who would turn 22 in two months. Although he was young, his body was not ambiguous, with a height of 1.90 meters and a weight of 110 kilograms, making him an absolute giant among the three.

  "Xiao Qiang, don't think too much, the captain must have a task for us," said Guan Zhiyong. This Guan Zhiyong really lives up to his name, his skills are unmatched, and in the entire base, except for Tang Feng and Xu Qiang, there's hardly anyone who can rival him, and as for intelligence, he's even more unparalleled, at least no one in the base doesn't admire him.

  The most brilliant achievement was that they had once rectified their previous instructor, just when everyone thought this guy was going to be unlucky, the result was astonishing, not only did he come out unscathed, but also became good friends with the previous instructor, unfortunately, the previous instructor died gloriously during a mission to save a comrade.

  Tang Feng didn't say a word after hearing what the two of them had to say. He just gave them a deep look and was the first to walk out.

  Xu Qiang saw that Tang Feng didn't say anything, so he quickly walked up to him and said in a muttering tone: "This is really strange, normally if there's a task for us to complete, it's not necessary for the captain to come personally. Usually, it's the team leader who gives out tasks. Could this task be extremely difficult? That doesn't seem right either, if it were that serious, they shouldn't have just called the three of us."

  After muttering to himself, Xu Qiang tapped his head and stopped thinking about it. The biggest advantage of this person is that if he can't figure something out, he won't continue to think about it. As he would say: "I'm a simple-minded person, there's no need to kill a lot of brain cells trying to figure out something I'll never understand. Besides, with Peak and Yong brothers around, I'm not afraid of being taken advantage of, they won't let me get cheated."

  Xu Qiang's words caught Tang Feng and Guan Zhiyong's attention, both of whom furrowed their brows in thought.

  The base is quite large, but there are only three buildings. One is the barracks for soldiers, one is the office and dormitory building for cadres, and the other is the cafeteria. All other areas are training grounds, and it seems that any type of training can be found here.

  He glanced up at the scorching sun in the sky, and Tang Feng let out a soft sigh, thinking to himself: "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Of course, he didn't say it out loud, because he knew that if he did, the other two would start getting all sorts of wild ideas, since he was known as the "God of Calculation" in their base.

  Maybe it's a special function, he always has some feeling before the danger comes, it is this instinct that allows him to survive safely in more than 50 tasks of all sizes, so he also becomes the most popular person in the base, who doesn't want to have a living "radar" by his side when executing tasks? Moreover, he is even better than radar, at least radar has blind spots.

  "Report." The three men stood outside the commander's office, straightened their clothes and shouted in unison.

  "Come in." The familiar voice of the leader came from inside.

  After pushing open the door, the three men walked in, while the captain stood beside his desk, and on the chair that originally belonged to the captain sat an old man with a general's insignia.

  "Blue Eagle Unit, First Battalion, Third Squad, Squad Leader Tang Feng (Squad Member Xu Qiang) (Squad Member Guan Zhiyong) reporting for duty. Please instruct, Commander." The three of them only slightly adjusted their demeanor before returning to normal, this is the quality of an excellent soldier.

  The old general nodded and said: "Do you know who I am?"

  "I don't know."

  "Then you want to know why I called you here?" The old general asked again.

  "What superiors should know will certainly be told to us; what we shouldn't know, we don't want to know."

  The old general smiled and said: "Very good."

  After finishing speaking, the old general looked up at Tang Feng, seeing that he was expressionless and staring forward, as if what he had said had nothing to do with him.

  Nodding in satisfaction, the old general continued: "Xu Qiang, from HLJ Province DQ City."

  Born on October 7, 1985, enlisted in 2002 and assigned to a certain division of HLJ as a soldier.

  In 2004, he won the first place in the national troops martial arts competition (Note: This competition does not allow special forces personnel to participate, otherwise Xu Qiang would not have been able to win first place at that time.), and was subsequently recruited by the Blue Eagle Commando Unit.

  After listening to General Lao's words, Xu Qiang still had no expression on his face, but anyone could see the hot tears in his eyes.

  "Kan Zhīyǒng, from SD Province JN, was born on December 25, 1983."

  "Am I wrong?" The old general looked up at the three of them and said.

  "No."

  "So you have considered and accepted my task?" The old general asked again.

  "As long as the country needs it, we guarantee to complete the task."

  "Don't answer so hastily, I'm asking you, if I were to ask you to leave the troops, listen carefully, not temporarily, but forever, would you still be willing?" The old general asked with a serious expression.

  As soon as they heard this, the three of them were stunned. They really hadn't thought that they would leave their unit. The Blue Eagle Unit had few people to begin with, and the entire base only had around 500 people, including 200 technical personnel and logistics department staff. There were only 300 actual combat personnel, divided into three large teams, each further divided into four small teams. It could be said that after several years of interaction, the relationships among these 300 people were like those of close brothers. After all, their friendship had been tested by iron and blood. They really didn't want to leave them.

  The old general looked at the three of them and stood up with his hands behind his back, saying seriously: "What are you?"

  "He is a soldier."

  "What unit's soldier?"

  "The strongest wilderness special forces Blue Eagle warrior of Country Z."

  "What is the warrior's primary mission?"

  "Defend the Motherland, Defend the People."

  "Well then, there's an opportunity right in front of you, are you going or not? Of course, if you're afraid to die, you can choose not to go."

  "No, we are the Blue Eagle's soldiers, guardians of our motherland. We are not afraid to die, as long as it is for our country and people. We will resolutely complete every task assigned by our superiors, even if it means paying with our lives."

  "Alright, remember as you said, you are the guardians of the motherland. For the prosperity and flourishing of the country, personal honor is not worth mentioning. Go gather your things, report back here in half an hour."

  "Yes." With that, the three of them turned around and walked out, with two of them almost shedding tears.
