Infernal Hero

Chapter 144 Whoever Messed Up His Mood

The highest realm of acting tough is not to point at everyone around the table and say that you are all trash, but to let others say that you just need to look over and everyone wants to admit that they are trash.

About three months ago, 21-year-old Di Haoran was selected as an elite member of the 722 team to join a combat team that was about to perform a special mission. He followed Chief of Staff Lin Cihu and old squadron leader Xu Xiaofeng to the Golden Triangle. This was his first overseas mission, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The Chief of Staff had described the mission to death, but in the course of its actual execution, he realized that this statement was not exaggerated at all. If it weren't for the support of a strong local force, he believed that this was impossible to accomplish.

With the help of the armed forces, the mission was carried out. The battle was very intense. During the mission, they were ambushed. At that time, they came out of a building. The first person to open the door was actually this young fellow who had left the country for the first time. At that moment, the old squadron leader stood in front of him. At that moment, when he thought he was going to feel guilty for his entire life, a figure accompanied by gunshots suddenly appeared in front of him. Big Brother Gu, who was on an undercover mission, saved the old squadron leader. And saved his first overseas mission. He followed the team to earn first-class merit once for the group and second-class merit once for the individual.

This person was right in front of him. He wasn't sure how strong this person was, but he was sure that the old squadron leader was the strongest. However, the old squadron leader said that if this person went all out, the old squadron leader known as the Lightning Fist would not be able to throw twenty punches. Di Haoran firmly believed in this.

Gu Tianyou had already recognized Di Haoran, but he didn't expect to encounter a comrade who had lived and died together on this occasion. Brother Tianyou's thick skin actually blushed once in a blue moon. He rubbed his nose and said, "It's not me."

Di Haoran said, "May I shake hands with you? Nothing else. I just want to pay my respects to you personally. Last time, it was our Chief of Staff who represented all of us and was unable to shake hands with you to say thank you. I have always regretted it." Gu Tianyou stretched out his hand. Di Haoran walked between the broken lenses on the ground and his chin that he couldn't pick up. He respectfully extended his hands from the bottom of his heart and held Gu Tianyou's hand.

This was respect from the bottom of his heart, both gratitude and admiration. Only soldiers who have passed the test of life and death can understand this respect. In that moment of life and death, Gu Tianyou's courage and selflessness made him respect him, while the man he learned from the old squadron leader's mouth made him admire him. He knew that he was the best at the student level, but he was far from being the best at Xu Xiaofeng's level.

Gu Tianyou leaned his head close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, do me a favor and keep a low profile. Otherwise, if the old horse stumbles tomorrow, he won't be able to afford to lose that person."

Di Haoran saluted, "Yes!"

… … … …

In individual events, 20 kilometers of armed cross-country training tested physical fitness. There were long-spear precision shooting and short-spear application shooting. The former was accurate, while the latter was speed and reaction. There were also ten kilometers of swimming crossing connected to a five-kilometer mountain march to test the athletes' ability to cope with the complex terrain. The hardest part was that the mountain range was five kilometers long. This was because during this journey, the contestants would encounter hidden lightning, sly lightning, forest traps, enemy ambushes, and when guns were ineffective, they could only rely on a dagger and a bare-handed fight to complete the mission.

All subjects are carried out consecutively. From morning to night, the first to complete within twelve hours is the winner. If completed at the same time, the scores of each link are compared. The scores of the higher ones are the winner.

When Sun Jingxiang introduced the content of his personal project, his eyes never left Gu Tianyou. His gaze was even more eager than seeing his long-legged sister not wearing clothes.

The room for four people was originally spacious, but it was crowded with eleven people.

Gu Tianyou didn't seem to have done anything today, because he had already done it a few months ago. All the trials that he was going to undergo today were merely preparations for that moment. Di Haoran had gone through such a moment, so he was the most awesome here. Gu Tianyou led the operation, so he was even more awesome than Di Haoran.

The atmosphere in the room was lively. Everyone knew that as long as he could enter the arena, Brother Tianyou would definitely be the first to pass all the tests in the individual events.

However, Gu Tianyou's heart was very calm. He thought to himself, The Principal has been gone for more than an hour, and the news hasn't come back yet. What happened in the cafeteria should have entered the ears of the members of the organizing committee. There is no doubt about my strength. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they have more reason to refuse me to participate in the competition.

Zhang Yan's mouth was the fastest, "Boss, stop seeping. Don't you feel sorry for these brothers, or at least for your big niece. The smell of this room full of smelly men has almost smoked our long-legged sister to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to inquire about your amazing past, she wouldn't be able to stand it anymore."

Gu Tianyou thought for a moment and sighed. He seemed to have no choice but to say something. In the end, he threw out a sentence, "It hasn't been decrypted for a long time, so I can't say anything."

Everyone was very disappointed, but no one thought that Gu Tianyou was pretending to be mysterious. There was only discussion left in the room, and none of them had recovered from what happened in the dining hall just now. There was nothing left to discuss, so he began to look forward to tomorrow. If the Principal can apply for a spot, they will have a chance to enter the second stage of the selection. They would add one more item to their resume. They would participate in an international Fox Hunt Selection Competition somewhere in a certain year and month, and enter the top ten of the country.

Kong Xiandong could touch his beloved sniper rifle again, and the White East Congress continued his son's dream of becoming the special police captain of his father's business. Mu Changbin added another story that he boasted to his senior sister … Everyone was looking forward to it, but Gu Tianyou was worried that this spot would not be easy to come by.

… … … …

In the other room, Di Haoran said the same thing to Xing Zekai. I just added that I will try my best to win the second place tomorrow. Xing Zekai asked unwillingly, "Don't you have a chance of winning first place?" Di Haoran said, "In a fight, the old squadron leader can't take 20 punches from him. I've seen his pistol shooting skills. There were two long spears at the scene, one super-class sniper, and one person in the room. The two of them locked onto each other. Then, he shot the person in the room, dodged the sniper and saved the old squadron leader's life."

Xing Zekai was instantly more interested, "What was the situation at that time?"

Di Haoran shook his head and said, "I can't talk to you anymore. Anyway, you saw him wrestling with Zhou Dachui. He's a fellow from the weightlifting family. He even practiced the Bazi Fist. He has already put in all his effort and still has no hope of winning."

"There's no need to be too pessimistic," Xing Zekai said. "After all, he hasn't gone through systematic training. I admire his shotgun for being powerful, but I don't believe it when it comes to sniper rifles being more accurate than you."

Di Haoran smiled bitterly and said, "That's all I have. Unfortunately, this is not the only subject in my personal program."

Xing Zekai was a little depressed, "We've been preparing for three years, and you're so willing?"

Di Haoran shook his head and said, "Of course I am, And I'm not going to lose faith, "Because I have you teammates. You are already at the top. Our team is much stronger than theirs. A BUG level existence like Big Brother Gu won't be of much use in the team. Don't forget, this team project is attended by ten people. The reliance on individual abilities is much lower than the five-person team."

He did not intend to give up. He had no reason to give up on a team that had worked hard for three years. Even if the opponent was a man that the old squadron leader admired.

The sharpness of a hunting knife lies not in the amount of manganese steel and the number of sharpening stones used, but in the courage of the wielder of the knife! This was what the old commander said when he was transferred to the deputy chief of general staff and left on the wall of the squadron's honor room. At that time, the old squadron leader was still a recruit. At that time, the Armed Police Force could participate in the Three Armed Forces Tournament. It was at that time that the old squadron leader became famous.

This era belonged to him and his teammates!

Xing Zekai still couldn't let go of Gu Tianyou's sudden appearance. He felt that it was unfair. Why would a man who was comparable to or even more victorious than the old squadron leader want to participate in such a competition? Just like the big eagles in his hometown that had already killed wild wolves, how could they still be interested in the competition to fly high and chase after the rat and rabbit?

"Perhaps he might not have a chance to participate in the competition?"

… … … …

Zhou Yi'an was still massaging his injured wrist because of his excessive strength. He couldn't figure out what kind of person it was that would make a man like Di Haoran so humble and even excited. He clearly remembered the first time he saw Di Haoran two years ago. That year, he participated in the Hunter Academy's public selection. There were only two spots. One was old and the other was new. The old one had already chosen the famous Madman Xu, and the new one would be selected from their group of new students.

Under the starry night sky, he looked at Di Haoran's back without any hope of catching up. He couldn't help but sigh, "Zhou Yi'an and Di Haoran are already alive." The figure that had been chasing after him for two years was becoming increasingly blurry. He thought that there would be no one stronger than him, but today, he realized that the words "beyond the horizon" were not spoken. If that person's strength was desperate, then Di Haoran's reaction made people's hearts go dead.

There was no need to think about individual projects, and the only thing left was to fight for team honor. The laptop contains a large number of videos of teams that have achieved impressive results in previous fox hunts. After opening one casually for a while, he felt a little distracted and couldn't bear to continue watching. What lingered in his mind was that person's condescending gaze as if he was looking down at a child.

"Boss, good news!" Teammate Li Hailiang rushed in from outside and said, "There's good news. Do you want to hear about that person in the cafeteria?"

Zhou Yian was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What news?"

Li Hailiang proudly said, "The dean of Jianye Police Academy went to apply for a spot for that fellow. Guess what?"

Li Hailiang was too free-spirited. To the team, he could easily become an unstable factor. Zhou Yi'an frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Li Hailiang smiled and said, "Comrade Captain of the reporting area, just received the news, the organizing committee rejected the application of Jianye Police Academy and refused to allow that person to participate in the individual project!"

Zhou Yian let out a long sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel deeply regretful.

In another room.

Xing Zekai was also announcing this news excitedly, but Di Haoran's face did not have a trace of happiness. Instead, he angrily scolded, "These bureaucratic bastards!"

In Gu Tianyou's room.

Sun Jingxiang had a face full of regret and unwillingness as he called out to find a relationship. Gu Tianyou stood up calmly and said to Ding Mosi i, who was about to curse, "I'm going out for a while. I'll be back in a while. Tomorrow, the two of us will go on stage together!"
