Chapter 5 You Better Hold On

"What the hell!"

"That soldier named Qin Feng shot down the Blue Force Commander!"

"We won!"

"Amazing!"

"Truly amazing!"

Qin Feng's shot, which hit its mark perfectly, directly struck the Blue Force Commander, Gao Shiwei.

Everyone in the Blue Force Command Center witnessed this scene. One by one, they stopped moving and stood there with their mouths agape.

Shocked!

Utterly shocked!

No one could have imagined that the soldier had actually succeeded in decapitating the Blue Force Commander within the Blue Force Command Center.

This was entirely him, single-handedly, turning the tide of the entire exercise!

After a brief silence, the veteran squad leader Lao Hei and some soldiers from the Iron Fist Regiment on the Red Force side excitedly shouted.

Upon hearing this, the other Red Force members exchanged glances and then all broke into excited smiles.

In contrast to the Red Force, the mood of the Blue Force personnel was extremely low at this moment.

They had been on their own territory, only to have their commander decapitated like this, achieving a miraculous comeback from a desperate situation.

For them, this was utterly humiliating.

Fan Tianlei's face was a mixture of green and white, clearly seething with anger.

He glanced up at the smokestack and met Qin Feng's gaze through the sniper scope.

From a distance, Fan Tianlei wished he could rush forward and tear Qin Feng to shreds to extinguish the fire in his heart.

"I apologize, Commander. It was my poor decision."

"I will accept any disciplinary action."

Jiang Fan, the commander of the Guard Regiment, looked at the 'sniped' Blue Force Commander Gao Shiwei with an equally grim expression and then lowered his head to say this.

However, Gao Shiwei shook his head without a second thought and then also looked towards the smokestack.

Fan Tianlei and Gao Shiwei, despite their high positions, possessed extraordinary skills and eyesight that were beyond ordinary. They had directly pinpointed Qin Feng's location.

Looking at Qin Feng on the smokestack from afar, Gao Shiwei not only wasn't angry but instead removed his Blue Force Commander's arm patch and waved it at Qin Feng.

It was as if he was saying: "Young man, you've really got what it takes. We lost!"

"Bang!"

At that moment, another gunshot echoed from the smokestack.

Fan Tianlei, not far from Gao Shiwei, suddenly emitted blue smoke.

Qin Feng had not stopped. He intended to annihilate all the high-ranking Blue Force officers.

Seeing this, Gao Shiwei and Fan Tianlei, along with other high-ranking officers, couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

This kid had a strong killing intent!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Feng had indeed seen the gazes directed at him by Gao Shiwei and Fan Tianlei.

It wasn't that he had such a strong killing intent that he absolutely had to eliminate all the Blue Force's senior officers; it was simply that the system hadn't given him a mission completion prompt yet!

Indeed.

Only after Qin Feng had sniped all the Blue Force's high-ranking officers did the system's mechanical electronic voice finally sound.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!"

"Rewarding the host with a basic skill: Super Hacker (Beginner)."

Super Hacker (Beginner): A truly invincible hacker can solve all troubles with just one electronic device.

Instantly, a flood of knowledge related to hacking filled Qin Feng's mind.

The sheer volume of information was so overwhelming that Qin Feng momentarily stopped pulling the trigger, his entire being stunned.

Three to four seconds later, Qin Feng finally came back to his senses.

As expected, this system was terrifying.

This beginner level Super Hacker skill was already invincible!

Thus, this Red versus Blue confrontation exercise finally drew to a close.

The Red versus Blue confrontation exercise was consistently the most important event of the entire Southern Military Region for the year.

Therefore, no matter what happened during the exercise, it would quickly spread throughout the entire army.

Not even half a day had passed since the Red versus Blue confrontation exercise concluded, and Qin Feng's name had already become renowned throughout the Southern Military Region.

It could be said that because of this single incident, Qin Feng could be considered the most famous individual in the Southern Military Region.

That evening, on the same day the Red versus Blue confrontation concluded.

In the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade, the brigade commander's office was unusually lit, with many figures bustling about, suggesting a significant number of people were present.

"This kid is too outstanding. Based on his performance in this Red versus Blue confrontation, even our ace special forces soldiers could only achieve this level at most."

In the brigade commander's office, Fan Tianlei no longer wore the displeased expression from the exercise. Instead, he spoke with a serious frown.

The Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade Commander He Zhijun and the Southern Military Region Deputy Commander Gao Shiwei nodded in agreement after hearing Fan Tianlei's words.

"It's been a long time since we've seen such an outstanding young man. Zhijun, you must seize this opportunity!"

Gao Shiwei said with a faint smile, hinting at something.

He Zhijun's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he replied, "Understood, sir. I will definitely recruit Qin Feng into our Wolf Fang!"

At this moment, only the three of them were in the brigade commander's office. If anyone else heard He Zhijun's words, they would likely be astonished.

That was Wolf Fang, the most outstanding special operations brigade in the entire Southern Military Region.

The special forces soldiers of Wolf Fang were all exceptionally skilled, inspiring great confidence whether in competitions or during missions.

Such a unit was a place that ordinary company soldiers could only dream of joining.

It was unthinkable that He Zhijun would actively want to recruit Qin Feng.

Fan Tianlei, standing silently to the side, his eyes flickered slightly upon hearing the conversation between the "Wolf Head" and the brigade commander.

...

The next day, at the Iron Fist Regiment.

All the soldiers and generals of the entire regiment were gathered on the training ground in front of the national and military flags.

The Iron Fist Regiment, with its twelve companies, regimental headquarters, and logistics department, comprised nearly fifteen hundred people.

This was a standard full-strength regiment.

Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately understood, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The next second, Regiment Commander Kang Lei stood on the rostrum, in front of the three-dimensional microphone, and announced loudly:

"Today, the entire regiment has been summoned here for one reason!"

"That is to commend the meritorious individuals of this year's grand annual exercise."

"As everyone knows, our performance in this year's exercise was not good, and I was almost captured by the Blue Force."

"However, our regiment produced several remarkable soldiers."

"They not only brought honor back to our Iron Fist Regiment but also made indelible contributions to the victory of the Red Force."

"Therefore, we will award military decorations to these individuals who have earned honor for our regiment, as a form of encouragement."

"During this exercise, two individuals, though not from the same company, cooperated implicitly and together completed the final mission."

"They not only decapitated the Blue Force Commander but also decapitated all the high-ranking command personnel."

"Furthermore, they caused the entire Blue Force Command Center immense chaos and heavy losses."

"They are the pride of our Iron Fist Regiment!"

"Therefore, after deliberation by the Military Region Command and the Political Department."

"Private He Chenguang is awarded a personal Third Class Merit Citation."

Kang Lei paused here.

Then, his gaze shifted to Qin Feng, and he continued:

"Private Qin Feng is awarded a personal Second Class Merit Citation, and his rank is promoted to Lieutenant."

Upon hearing this, the entire training ground fell into silence.
