Chapter 223 – War Wolf Shen Xinyu and Old Luo
The southwest Wenshan jungle, the continuous mountain ranges were wrapped in thick vegetation like green tombs, even the cliffs were covered in moss. The heavy moisture enveloped this once beautiful place, and sunlight couldn’t penetrate the dense jungle. The damp and eerie atmosphere was more like a tomb burying all living creatures.
This used to be a nightmare for the troops trained in the plains, but today, a troop from Jiangnan was walking here with easy steps. Even when encountering obstacles, with tactical gloves on their hands, they could easily crawl over fallen trees like vipers without making any noise, as if they had already adapted to this climate and environment.
The lead scout raised his fist, and the scattered comrades marching behind him all became alert, holding up their rifles and paying attention to the movements around them.
“What’s the situation?” A man with the same camouflage makeup on his face lowered his voice and asked as a scout ran over.
“I don’t know yet, Dabao feels something’s wrong.”
“Be alert!” The commander nodded. He trusted Guo Dabao’s sixth sense.
However, at this moment, suddenly gunshots rang out, and one after another, leaf men1like they were covered with leaves, as camouflage. Not ghillie suit.in heavy camouflage dropped from trees like apes, their rifles spraying red flame recklessly.
Although they were already very vigilant, they didn’t expect the crisis to come from above. The soldiers from Jiangnan were covered in red lights and had no choice but to fall to the ground.
Of course, not everyone was immediately eliminated. There were a few skilled and agile individuals who immediately flipped over to find cover when they heard the sound. However, they were unable to counterattack in time as their cover was immediately blanketed by a well-trained hail of bullets, making it impossible for them to even raise their heads.
Guo Dabao was one of them. He witnessed with his own eyes one of his brothers next to him trying to raise his head to shoot, but immediately took a shot to the forehead and emitted a red light on his body, and could only lie down helplessly.
“Dmn it, War Wolf, you bst*rds are playing sneak attacks. If you have the guts, come and fight me one on one!” Guo Dabao shouted in frustration.
After a moment of silence, a playful voice came, “Okay! One-on-one, come on, throw your gun away, and if I lose, this game is considered a win for you!”
“That’s what you said!” Guo Dabao excitedly threw away his rifle and jumped out from behind the cover.
This was a special competition in this year military’s competition. The Viper Special Operations Unit of the Jiangnan Military Region had a bit of bad luck. Not only were they grouped with the War Wolf team, but also because the military competition was located in the southwest, which was the opponent’s territory, their chances of advancing were even more slim.
Originally, Viper had thought that even if they lost, they would still fight fiercely with War Wolf and not lose too badly. However, they still fell into an ambush and were almost completely wiped out… They were going to be laughed at when they returned!
But Guo Dabao still felt that he had grasped the last straw for survival. Regardless of whether the other party was deceiving him or not, at least he still retained a glimmer of hope.
Besides, in terms of jungle combat experience, several Viper were probably no match for others. But Guo Dabao still has some confidence in his personal skills.
The soldiers of the War Wolf were still standing vigilantly with a gun in their hand, and several had already dispersed to investigate. Only one guy was a bit out of place, peeling off his disguise2referring to the leaves. They were cover in leaves. and revealing a military uniform similar to that of Guo Dabao’s, except for a wolf head emblem sewn on his shoulder to indicate his identity.
Guo Dabao followed suit and threw away the cumbersome bulletproof vest, tactical suit, and even the dagger he liked to tie to his ankle.
Disdain the enemy strategically, but focus on the enemy tactically. When it was really time to fight, that guy also became serious. He stared at Guo Dabao and said in a deep voice, “Captain of the Second Squad of the War Wolf Special Operations Unit directly under the Southwest Military Region, Shen Xinyu!”
This was introducing oneself, and Guo Dabao also arched his hand with a strong martial arts style and said, “Viper Special Operations Unit of the Jiangnan Military Region, Guo Dabao!”
They didn’t talk more nonsense, and they started fighting!
After experiencing the competition with Yang Yi, Guo Dabao seemed to have improved his martial arts skills again. As soon as they started fighting, his splitting and hanging palm style made Shen Xinyu have to be on guard.3Guo Dabao was using 劈挂掌 (pī guà zhǎng) style, which can be translated as “splitting and hanging palm”.
Shen Xinyu used the martial arts of the army, but it was a top-secret and extremely lethal special version. Although it was not as powerful as the splitting and hanging palm style, Shen Xinyu was able to steadily parry and search for opportunities to counterattack, which was always a cunning and vicious counterattack, making Guo Dabao not dare to sell his flaws.
The two of them were entangled in a fierce fight, exchanging blows with each other for almost a quarter of an hour.
Shen Xinyu suddenly took a step back and grinned, “Guo Dabao, if you only have this level of skill, you’re probably going to lose today!”
Guo Dabao angrily retorted, “Don’t just talk big, come on, beat me if you can!”
He was so excited from the fighting that his sweat had blurred the camouflage on his face. The clothes that had been torn during the fight just now also revealed his dark and extremely strong muscles.
“Then I’ll have to offend you!” Shen Xinyu rushed forward, and his moves suddenly changed. Originally, it was the rigid military style fist4also translated as boxing or punching, but now it suddenly became the close-range Wing Chun Fist!
Guo Dabao recognized it, but he was a bit overwhelmed.
After Shen Xinyu got close to him, it was a bit difficult for him to find space to unleash his splitting and hanging palm, making it very uncomfortable!
However, Guo Dabao was also tenacious. He managed to block for another quarter of an hour before Shen Xinyu unexpectedly tripped him up with a foot sweep. He was then caught with a backhand and firmly pressed to the ground.
“Do you admit defeat?” Shen Xinyu was a bit embarrassed by Guo Dabao’s desperate struggles. He took a breath and asked.
Guo Dabao’s mouth was gnawing on the soil, and the decaying scent of grass and trees penetrated his nose. He snorted heavily and said word by word in a frustrated tone, “No… I don’t admit defeat!”
He could accept personal grudges, but this was related to the honor of the team. Guo Dabao was determined to die rather than surrender.
“Okay, Dabao.” At this time, the captain who had been “killed” walked out and sighed, “To honor the bet, our Viper team have fallen into the hands of your War Wolf again. Old Luo, Luo Zongsheng5this is just one person, Old Luo is what he calls him, like a nickname. Full name Luo Zongsheng, aren’t you coming out yet? Did you retire, you bstrd?”
In the crowd of War Wolf, a leaf man walked out and smiled as he clasped his fist with the captain of the Viper team. He said, “Old Li, isn’t it normal for you Viper to lose to us? Don’t be discouraged, there’s another competition coming up.”
“Motherfckr, our army has been training hard for a year just to beat your War Wolf. Next time, be careful when you face us. We won’t play around on your turf and will kill you in minutes!” The captain of the Viper team, Old Li, spat and cursed with a smile on his face.
In fact, they were all comrades-in-arms, although they rarely saw each other a few times a year. But after a few fights, they had developed a friendship.
“Dream on, even if we come to your turf, you’re still no match for us.” Luo Zongsheng smiled.
“Bstrd, Old Luo, if you’re brave enough, bring your War Wolf to Jiangnan and let’s see!”
Luo Zongsheng smiled and pointed his finger at the other party, saying, “Old Li, you are not being fair. Are you trying to provoke me and make the War Wolf fight with you for free as sparring partners?
“Bah, you’re obviously scared!” Old Li retorted stubbornly.
