Chapter 1271: The New Recruit (2)

The previous batch wasn’t like this.

They had single-handedly destroyed the whole troop with a single man-made smoke bomb.

That was why he had boasted in front of the captain that it would be enough for the two of them to come this time around and show off to these new recruits.

He hadn’t expected that the sneak attack would fail and that he would actually be threatened with a gun.

In fact, the five of them were quite easy to deal with.

Except for the one in front of him..

Thinking of this, the cannoneer narrowed his eyes and said to the youth, “Since you know that we are veterans, why don’t you put away your gun quickly? I’m afraid that you will misfire!”

Hearing this, the youth’s thin lips curled up. That smile more or less looked like the beginning of winter snow, so handsome that it was somewhat unreasonable.

He turned his head and exerted force on the gun. Then, everyone saw that there was not a single bullet in the clip.

When the cannoneer saw this, he cursed in a low voice again!

Damn it! He had been tricked! Where did this scourge come from! How could he be so scheming? There weren’t any bullets in the gun, yet he was still so stubborn! He really could act!

The other person did not speak because he noticed that there was a thin layer of cocoon on the youth’s hand. Although it was not as obvious as the belly of his index finger, if one looked carefully, one could see that not everyone would leave a cocoon mark on the tip of their thumb. That was a mark that could only be left on the hand of a person who was used to using a long-range spear.

Could it be that this was a sniper?!

“Alright, keep that gun yours now.” The cannoneer had a carefree personality. “Your batch has passed this test. There’s no need to be sent back to the original unit. Hey, those few over there? Have they been blown up? If not, then immediately line up and report! ”

Hearing this, the other five people also understood what was going on. It turned out that all the ambush attacks just now, including the sudden bombing, were testing their reaction and observation skills!

However, they didn’t notice those little signs at all. At the moment of the explosion, their minds were blank, and they thought that they had encountered some foreign invasion.

One of the five felt as if someone had punched him in the face, and his face was burning with pain.

They could not say whether they were ashamed or what, but the depression in their chest was stifling.

If it were not for the fact that the youth he had mocked had extraordinary agility, all of them would have died in battle.

Not only that, they might even be sent back to their original troops.

This made them feel lucky and embarrassed at the same time.

Even now, they still did not believe that this youth had been selected based on his own strength.

In the end, he was lucky. Perhaps he had already discovered the people hiding in the jungle, but he did not tell them. Perhaps he wanted to show off.

With that thought, the man took a step forward and saluted the two people who greeted them, his voice loud and clear. “Reporting, Lin Te, Navy, number 114, reporting for duty!”

“You are only asked to report your number. No one asked you to report your name, and no one asked you to report your service.” The cannoneer looked at him. “We all heard your self-introduction. Number 114, right? When you introduce yourself in the future, you can just say your code name or your number, but there is one thing you must remember when you come to Liren. Don’t say your own name. Because a name could leak too much information. Moreover, you even said the original unit. This would make people wonder if you have undergone professional secret training.”

Lin Te’s felt ashamed. He had revealed his identity as a Marine in order to let others know of his achievements.

However, he had not expected that he would be lectured like this.

He was one of the best elites in his original unit and had always been praised. It had been a long time since he had been reprimanded like this.

Moreover, the cannoneer had even repeated the incident. Was he trying to curry favor with the youth?

Lin Te was very unconvinced.

But this was Liren, so he had to obey. “Yes.”

The cannoneer glanced at him again and didn’t say anything else. Anyway, after a few days of grinding like this, he would become obedient so that he would not be sent back to his original unit.

“What about you guys?”

He turned his head and continued to ask.

The other people all reported their numbers, together with the youth.

“Very good, now form a line.” The cannoneer lifted the long gun in his hand. “We still need you to run for a bit.”

Lin Te thought about it and still felt uncomfortable. After all, he had just arrived and had already lost face in front of so many people. How would he be able to survive then.

Thus, after forming a line, Lin Te opened his mouth again. “Report!”

“Speak.” The cannoneer frowned.

Lin Te glanced at the youth, intentionally or unintentionally, he continued, “Sir, I heard that there are no special conditions in Liren. No matter how powerful one is, one will not be selected. Everybody must go through a strict selection process. Under normal circumstances, those who can be selected are all over 23 years old. They must have astonishing results in their original unit. Even their mental quality and professional knowledge must be strong to be selected. But now, I want to ask if the selection of the Liren is still the same as before? “…”

The cannoneer stopped walking and turned back to look at him. “Are you questioning Liren?”

“No!” Lin Te shouted and then looked at the youth. “I just feel that some of my comrades are too young.”

Anyone who heard this would know who he was referring to.

Because it was too obvious.

Both age and family background had been brought forward.

When the youth heard this, the smile on his lips did not reach his eyes. Instead, it was still cold and languid.

Upon seeing this, the cannoneer also laughed. “What’s wrong with you? If it wasn’t for that too young comrade of yours, this batch would have returned long ago. Would you have stayed until now? None of the five of you reacted fast enough. How dare someone like you say that you’re from the Navy? You don’t even have the least bit of alertness. Are you suspecting Liren? If you don’t want to come, then get lost! This isn’t a day care center!”

Lin Te’s face was completely drained of blood. He seemed to be extremely angry, and his chest heaved. “I didn’t mean anything by these words. I just wanted to ask clearly. Could it be that Liren could not be questioned at all?

“Liren is not something that can be understood by someone like you who likes to judge other people. What’s going on with the Navy this year? They have recommended a person who likes to gossip. Didn’t your original army tell you that you have to stop gossiping at Liren?”
