Qin Feng and He Chenguang led their teams to the armory to arm themselves.
Two minutes later, Qin Feng was equipped with a Type 10 anti-material heavy sniper rifle on his back, a Type 92 pistol holstered on his leg, and a Type 95 assault rifle in his hand. He also carried a dagger, a tactical vest, a tactical backpack, and other gear.
He Chenguang and the others were also fully armed, each kitted out to the teeth.
On their left arms, they prominently wore the "Dark Night" armbands, their dazzling brilliance a striking sight.
As they formed up neatly, the entire team exuded a powerful aura. Just standing on the training ground, they cast an invisible pressure on observers.
Through Qin Feng's practical training, each of them had undergone a complete transformation.
This was an assault team adapted for combat in all environments, possessing not only formidable military combat skills but also immense willpower.
Just as they finished assembling, Old Gao arrived with the Lone Wolf commando unit, running out from Warehouse 026.
He Zhijun was waiting for everyone in the combat briefing room. Soon, all parties converged there.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Zhijun's expression turned grave. His sharp gaze swept across the assembled personnel.
"I've just received notification from higher command to prepare for an unprecedented military exercise."
"Our Southeast Military Region, Southwest Military Region, and Northeast Military Region, three major military regions, will be jointly participating. We will be the Red Force, while the other two major regions will be the Blue Force."
"To put it nicely, they're coming to test our mettle. To put it bluntly, they're coming to challenge us!"
Everyone was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why the other two major military regions would provoke them.
While there had been friendly competitions between major military regions in the past, a joint exercise involving three simultaneously was indeed unheard of.
Generally, it was rare for different war zones to coordinate jointly. They usually focused on their own training and internal reinforcement. Only during national competitions would such large-scale exercises involving multiple major military regions be considered.
This time, three major military regions were uniting for a cross-regional exercise. The scale was unimaginably vast!
"Sir, has our Southeast Military Region offended them?" Old Gao asked.
He Zhijun chuckled, his gaze suddenly falling on Qin Feng. "Offended them? Not at all. It's primarily because of Qin Feng. He returned from Warrior Academy with the highest honors, and his subsequent rescue mission was highly praised by the Naval commander. This news even reached the Chief of Staff, and everyone wanted to witness our capabilities."
"They want to see what secrets our military region holds to cultivate someone like Qin Feng."
*Swish!*
All eyes turned to Qin Feng. So, this kid was the reason for all this commotion.
Old Gao declared loudly, "I knew it! How did our Southeast Military Region suddenly become the focus? It's because of him. They're all targeting Qin Feng, and we're benefiting from his fame."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pursed his lips.
He Zhijun waved his hand, silencing everyone, and then activated the 3D map. "The environment for this exercise includes jungle, swamp, desert, and snowfield—four major terrains. The conditions in each area are extremely harsh, with high difficulty and significant danger. There is a risk to life at any moment, making it entirely different from previous exercises. Therefore, each of you can call for emergency rescue when facing extreme danger, but this also signifies your withdrawal from the exercise."
"Furthermore, in addition to overcoming various harsh natural environments, you will have to contend with your opponents. In my opinion, they are your greatest enemies."
"Now, I will detail the adversaries you will encounter."
Subsequently, He Zhijun switched on the projector, and four figures appeared on the screen.
Qin Feng glanced at them. Good heavens, they were all Colonels!
The first person was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, appearing refined and possessing a strong physique.
Although this man looked refined, his eyes held a fierce glint, indicating he was far from simple as he appeared.
He Zhijun pointed to the man. "Lei Keming, captain of the Southwest War Zone's Black Tiger commando unit. Cunning, brilliant strategist, a tough guy, and a combat hero!"
"Many of you are likely familiar with his exploits. In various military regions, there's a story circulating about Lei Keming, a soldier from the cultural troupe, who single-handedly killed over 40 enemy soldiers in one night, destroyed an enemy arsenal, and brought back the heads of martyrs."
"This story is true. He was once a soldier under my command, and I personally witnessed the entire event. You all claim to be heroes, but in front of Lei Keming, do you dare to call yourselves heroes?"
Old Gao and the others nodded in agreement, especially Old Gao. They all knew Lei Keming – powerful, cunning, and most importantly, possessing immense courage.
Compared to him, Old Gao felt inferior, less capable.
Qin Feng meticulously searched for information about Lei Keming. This man was undoubtedly a formidable figure!
He single-handedly infiltrated enemy positions, fighting his way out against all odds, creating a miracle in the history of warfare.
Qin Feng deeply admired the man and was unexpectedly looking forward to facing him.
He Zhijun continued, "This Lei Keming is an absolute anomaly. Foreign militaries have extensive research materials on him, filling an entire warehouse, studying his combat methods, his personality, and even his preferences! Yet, I dare say no one has truly figured Lei Keming out. His combat thinking is utterly beyond the imagination of a normal person. Even I, facing an opponent like him, wouldn't dare claim a hundred percent certainty."
"Therefore, during this exercise, if you encounter him, be extremely cautious."
"Next, this is a female general known to all, Long Xiaoyun."
The projector immediately displayed Long Xiaoyun's valiant figure.
"This is the captain of the Wolf Warriors commando unit, Long Xiaoyun. Three days ago, Wolf Warriors were transferred to the Northeast Military Region to serve as the captain. Her strength is rumored to be on par with Lei Keming's."
After introducing the second person, He Zhijun pointed to the third. "This man is Yin Kangning, captain of the Southwest War Zone's Eagle Special Operations Unit. He is very mysterious, and I don't have much information, but I've heard he comes from a martial arts family and is highly skilled. In last year's exercise, he successfully decapitated the commander of the Southwest Military Region. He is also highly educated and possesses high intelligence. His nickname is 'God of War'."
Finally, He Zhijun pointed to the last person. "This fellow is Yin Kangning's brother, Yin Kangan, deputy captain of the Northeast War Zone's Mountain Wolf commando unit. His nickname is 'Wild Wolf'. His combat style is incredibly fierce and versatile. In a national special forces competition, he defeated our Wolf Fang's Lone Wolf commando unit. He is an old rival of our Southeast Military Region."
Upon seeing the last person, Old Gao's expression turned solemn. The opponent's overall strength was superior to Lone Wolf's.
In their previous encounter, Old Gao had been thoroughly defeated and accepted the loss.
He hadn't expected to face him again. Whether he could redeem himself would only be known after the fight.
After listening to He Zhijun's introductions of everyone, Qin Feng's expression became serious, as he knew none of these four individuals.
However, he was certain they were all elites of the military, possessing both intelligence and bravery, modern legends. Engaging with such masters would be dangerous and exhilarating.
For Qin Feng, this was a challenge, not just for himself, but for Dark Night as well.
