Chapter 71: Death Jungle (Part 1)

  When the first ray of dawn shone on General Abruzzia's mansion, Mai Mai and Aza were already waiting in the courtyard with a relaxed expression. They had received a phone call from General Abruzzia at 11:20 last night, so they rushed to his mansion early this morning.

  It must be that the leader has a reward to bestow, for last night they received word that the leader had summoned General Abruscia to discuss matters, and after the general returned he telephoned them to come to his palace early tomorrow morning.

  The two were lost in thought when General Abruzzi emerged from the inner room.

  In their eyes, General Abruscia's face was always so calm that you couldn't read the slightest hint of what was going on from his expression. Unable to fathom his intentions, it was even more impossible to predict what he would do next.

  Perhaps this is what they call the "great general's demeanor, unmoved by the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him". No wonder he can be a general, deeply trusted and appreciated by his leader. Mai Mai Ti and Aza thought so.

  "General, good morning!" Seeing Abusiya come out, Mai Mai and Aza stood up at the same time and said respectfully.

  "Take a seat! Please sit down!" Abruscia said with a smile as he took the first seat.

  "Today, I have called the two of you here for an important matter. Last night, the leader summoned me, so today my main task is to convey the leader's orders. Before conveying the orders, I need to ask you both some questions." Abrosia's tone was still as calm and peaceful as ever.

  "Please, General, show us your intention, we will speak without reserve and say everything that needs to be said."

  "Alright. So, where are the people you were looking for last time now?"

  "Report to the general, everything is in place. With just one order from the general, we can launch an attack on the Hunter School." Buymete and Azha said in unison.

  "Alright, but it's not time yet, tell them to wait a few more days. Also, for the next few days, it's best if they don't go out either, just stay at home. Don't attract the attention of the Hunter School. The leader has received intelligence that some mercenaries among them like to wander around the outskirts of the Hunter School. If we arouse their suspicion, it'll be troublesome." Abruscia took a sip of the strong tea served by the attendant and continued: "You go back and tell them that we will gather information about the internal situation of the Hunter School and deliver it to them in advance. What's most important for them now is to hide themselves well, they absolutely cannot expose themselves before launching an attack on the Hunter School. This is the leader's order."

  "It's an order! Let's go at once." Maimaiti and Azha saluted Abulisia, about to turn around and leave.

  The severity of the situation was well understood by them. Fighting against the world's most elite special forces, the chances of winning were not high to begin with. If they allowed the Hunter School to find out about their plans beforehand and have the special forces make a move ahead of time, then the over 1,000 people they had spent a large sum of money to gather would be killed without leaving even a single piece of armor behind.

  Their advantage lies in the dark, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, and only sneak attacks can succeed. It is necessary to know that mercenaries are strong, but compared with active special forces soldiers, their combat effectiveness is still slightly worse.

  "Wait, also you have to arrange a field commander, he will issue orders and be responsible for the specific attack action. This way even if any unexpected situation occurs, it won't affect us."

  "It's General!"

  "Go." Abruscia raised a hand, indicating they should leave. The two bowed and withdrew to make arrangements.

  "Boss, those guys who came to find you last night actually wanted to learn our Chinese Kung Fu. It seems that your aerial strike yesterday had a great impact on them." Chu Lei said in Zhang Hang's ear as they marched through the heavy load.

  "Chinese Kung Fu is famous overseas, they are also seeing it for the first time, of course they're surprised. Wanting to learn a few moves is a very normal thing." Zhang Hang said, wiping away his sweat.

  "Boss, you just spoke a few words and they were all stunned, I didn't expect them to actually believe it. If in the future, every morning at Hunter School's playground, there are people standing there foolishly practicing qigong, that would be one of the school's characteristics. Who knows, maybe that crocodile will even be introduced as a training subject, haha, just thinking about it makes me laugh."

  "This can't be blamed on me, they wouldn't believe me if I told them there's no such thing as Chinese Kung Fu, so I was also forced to do this. I followed the martial arts book and told them to absorb the essence of nature every morning, concentrate their minds and cultivate their energy. At least this way, it won't harm their bodies, on the contrary, after they develop the habit of getting up early every day, it will be beneficial for their health."

  "Shut up!" The crocodile's fierce gaze immediately killed: "Is this intensity too easy for you? You still have the energy to chat. Alright, 111 and 120, you two will add 5 kilometers of cross-country running today."

  "Damn crocodile!" Chu Lin muttered in hatred, and could only run 5 kilometers with Zhang Hang.

  ……

  Two days later.

  "Two hundred meters ahead, there is a forest, three hundred meters deep. I don't even know how many landmines are buried inside the forest, but one thing I can be sure of is that if you're lucky enough to walk out of the forest unscathed, you'll have collected all types of landmines in this world. I must remind you that so far, this forest has completely eliminated eighteen special soldiers, disabled thirty-two special soldiers, and injured one hundred eighty-six. So, it's a real death forest! Your next task is to pass through this death forest within the allotted time. The route for each team will be decided by drawing lots by the team leaders. Whoever passes through in the shortest time will be the first place winner of this subject. I'll remind you again, there are thousands and thousands of iron fragments waiting to drink your blood inside the forest. Hope you'll proceed with caution! Of course, our medical team is happy to serve you!

  The instructor scanned the students with his eyes once more and shouted loudly: "Remember, if you want to stay alive, you must learn to give up! In front of life, face is dispensable. Giving up is your right, it's not shameful. What's shameful is losing your life because of recklessness! Then you're a complete fool! Team leaders, come forward and start drawing lots!"

  As the fifth pair in line, Zhang Hang didn't have a choice. After the first four teams drew their lots, he simply had to reach out and take his turn.

  Zhang Hang opened it and said: "It's route 'C', a middle route, not bad!"

  This time, five teams set off together, whoever reaches the finish line first will be the first.

  The crocodile looked at its watch with a serious expression and suddenly let out a loud roar: "Start!"

  The five teams of people and horses sprang into action, almost simultaneously entering the jungle.

  Principal Okada sat in his chair, watching every move of the people on the closed-circuit television screen.

  The closed-circuit television is very clear, dragging the mouse can clearly see the sweat on everyone's face.

  At first, the five teams advanced smoothly for 15 meters. They were serious and cautious as they continued to advance forward. However, as they went deeper, the five teams were no longer advancing in unison, gradually pulling away from each other.

  Luo Lie adjusted the screen to Zhang Hang's team and immediately heard a sentence in Chinese: "Boss, this doesn't seem to be too difficult! They even call it the Death Jungle, but it seems a bit exaggerated!"

  "Don't be careless! In any case, the minefield that took out several special forces won't be so simple! We can't let our guard down!"

  "Alright, have it your way!" Chu Li replied casually, glancing back at the landmine he had just set up. But in his heart, he didn't think it was a good idea and continued to move forward with both feet.

  "Everyone be careful!" Zhang Hang loudly reminded each team member: "Watch your step!"

  "Alas, another one!"; Chu Lei stopped in his tracks, slowly crouched down, looked around and said: "This time it's a bit impressive, I was taken aback. This Brei person is quite skilled too! Guilei has appeared, everyone be careful, ahead entering the Guilei area!"

  "Chu Li, want some help?" Zhang Hang asked.

  "No need, I'll handle it myself!"

  "Alright, be careful not to make any mistakes!" Zhang Hang reminded him.

  Chu Lei had already crouched down, his hands deftly removing the sand from beside his left foot.

  "I'm sure this guy has been buried for some time. Must have been from the previous special training session. The soil on the side is so hard and solid, no wonder I stepped on it!"; Chu Zhan muttered to himself, carefully scraping away the hard earth with his military knife.

  Before long, the hard earth beside the landmine was all cleared away, revealing the top of the mine.

  Chu Lei smiled slightly and performed a series of skilled movements to defuse the bomb, then used his military knife to carefully remove the detonator from the landmine.

  "Pediatrics! If I were to bury this treacherous landmine, I would definitely put another one underneath..."; As he said this, Chu Lin's right hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the landmine in his hand had not yet completely left its nest. Cold sweat instantly broke out.

  "What I can think of, others may not have thought of! A careful sailor sails a thousand years!"; Chu Sai let out a sigh and squatted down again, using his hand to feel the bottom of the landmine.

  "What a close call! It was indeed a mother-child thunder, almost got struck by it! Chu Sai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and once again skillfully cleared away the hard soil underneath."

  "Indeed, a strong general has no weak soldiers! There are not many special troops who can detect and resolve crises in the nick of time!" Principal Ochiai sighed.

  Chu Lei pulled out a string of child and mother thunderbolts from the pit, and Zhang Hang's smile grew thicker.

  "From now on, everyone must check carefully for landmines in each row to prevent misfires, chain reactions and mother-child explosions!"

  "It seems that this minefield can't stop him either! He's truly a born professional soldier material!" Principal Ochiai exclaimed, and then immediately said: "I hope the minefield ahead will give them big trouble and block their advance!"

  "Boom!" A loud explosion came from another track next to it, and finally someone triggered the landmine and was blown into the air.

  The medical team, which had been waiting on the sidelines, skillfully entered the danger zone and carried out the wounded. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and after a period of rest, he would recover and it would not affect his military career.

  Zhang Hang glanced sideways with the corner of his eye and saw that it was not one of his own teammates, so he put his mind at ease.

  "Keep going!"
