Chapter 2006 - 1996: Missing
The Double Island Special Combat Reserves appearing before them didn’t seem much older than Tan Xiaoning and Yan Cheng.
At most, just a year or two older.
Yet their strength was far superior.
Among these youths, only a few emanated an aura, indicating they practiced Cultivation Fruit Martial Arts.
The rest hadn’t formally trained at all!
But the murderous aura and sharpness they exuded were like the gleam of a sword, intimidating all who looked upon them!
Of course.
Lin Tian was naturally not afraid.
But if faced with an ordinary person, they’d surely be terrified.
In front of him, many in the Reserve Team seemed uneasy when facing them.
As for the leader, Wu Feng, he was an authentic Martial Artist!
Moreover, he was an Earth-level Early Stage Martial Artist!
This kind of strength, in a place like this camp, was extremely formidable.
"Commander Ying, what do you think of my suggestion just now? A jungle combat exercise is the best way to showcase one’s military skills and teamwork! We are just reserves, while you are the best of the best in the Reserve Team!"
On the opposite side, Wu Feng, the instructor of the Double Island Special Combat Reserve, spoke again, looking at Ying Suxiang, "Of course, Commander Ying can refuse, and that’ll count as your loss! I’ll reluctantly take over the management of this Demon Cloud Ridge Reserve Team Camp!"
"Wu Feng, how dare you!"
Ying Suxiang’s face turned fearfully dark, and he shouted through gritted teeth.
"Commander Ying! Don’t be angry, we are just following orders! Here is the military order! I cannot defy it, and you cannot stop it!"
Wu Feng raised the military order in his hand, sneering, "So, why don’t we conduct a jungle combat exercise? You have three chances, as long as you win one, it’s considered our loss!"
With these words, members of the Double Island Special Combat Reserve opposite all showed mocking smiles.
They looked at the Reserve Team members with disdain on their faces.
On this side, everyone was filled with anger, glaring, faces full of resentment.
What are these guys up to? What’s their purpose here?
Lin Tian frowned as he watched Wu Feng and the others on the opposite side, quietly puzzled.
In Team Ten, Class Three, Lin Tian walked over.
Lii You had already called Class Three together.
If the confrontation match wasn’t conducted, it might have nothing to do with them.
But at this moment, Lin Tian noticed something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "Where is Tan Xiaoning? It seems like a few other girls are also missing! Where did they go?"
"Instructor Lin! Because of the arrival of the Double Island Special Combat Reserve, I haven’t had the chance to tell you!"
Lii You’s face turned extremely unpleasant, full of anxiety, "Tan Xiaoning and a few other girls are missing! Last night they were still sleeping in the camp, but this morning they were gone! I asked the guards and checked the surveillance room, but didn’t see any trace of Tan Xiaoning and them leaving the camp! In other words... they mysteriously disappeared!"
Beside them, Yan Cheng and the other people were also becoming uneasy.
Tan Xiaoning and the others suddenly vanished.
Too strange!
Lin Tian was also quite taken aback, frowning, "Are you sure Tan Xiaoning and they were in the camp last night?"
"Yes! Before bed, I even checked the rooms! Talked with Tan Xiaoning for a bit!"
Lii You nodded vigorously, very certain, "I haven’t mentioned this to Ying Suxiang yet, we need to deal with Wu Feng and the others first!"
"Could it be related to Wu Feng and his group..."
Lin Tian murmured softly.
But Lii You quickly shook her head, saying, "No, Wu Feng and the others only came after we discovered Tan Xiaoning and the others were missing this morning!"
Hearing this, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.
He extended his Divine Sense, scanning all around the Reserve Team Camp.
In less than two minutes.
Lin Tian retracted his Divine Sense.
He revealed a slight cold smile and then said to Lii You, "I’ll find Tan Xiaoning and the others after this matter is over here! They should be fine for now!"
Lii You looked at Lin Tian in surprise, then nodded.
The feeling Lin Tian gave her was extremely mysterious and immensely powerful!
Since he said so, he must have a way.
Moreover, Tan Xiaoning and her friends are not ordinary people. Any common villain encountering them would have to count themselves lucky!
So Lii You felt that their safety shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.
"Alright! Let’s consider it a gamble! Since it’s arranged by the higher-ups, let’s let them try! After all, I don’t have many years left before retirement!"
Ying Suxiang said with a grim face to Wu Feng, and then turned to Wei Chen, "You make the arrangements! Select the most capable fighters for a session of the exercise! This time it’s barehanded, in the training jungle within the camp, there won’t be any casualties, at most some minor injuries!"
The Reserve Team Camp has an area designated for combat exercises, roughly the size of two football fields.
The forest is very dense, filled with foliage as tall as two people and Primitive Forest.
Two football fields might not seem large, but each side only fields five people in a confrontation!
That means a total of ten people go in!
Thus it’s more than sufficient for combat exercises.
Wei Chen, his face equally somber, nodded at Ying Suxiang.
He was the chief instructor of the Reserve Team, the strongest in power, with the most formidable background!
The Special Team from the Guang Han Continent intends to seize the management rights here, and he was furious beyond measure.
Not to mention the enormous benefits this Reserve Team Camp brings.
The issue of face alone was intolerable!
In the entire Eastern Mountain Land, and even the whole North Continent, the Demon Cloud Ridge Reserve Special Team was renowned!
Many children of wealthy merchants or descendants of top families were eager to gain entry.
Once inside.
Even if they couldn’t join the Sky Dragon Martial Arts School or the National Security Bureau, they were considered prestigious, able to pursue any path more smoothly!
This reflects how famous and important the Demon Cloud Ridge Reserve Special Team is!
For Wei Chen, becoming the chief instructor of the Reserve Team wasn’t easy!
Moreover, soon he might become the general commander of the Reserve Team!
Because Ying Suxiang won’t hold his position for much longer, at most a year or two!
Then, when he advances further, he could reach the upper echelons, perhaps even directly into the National Security Bureau, who knows!
The National Security Bureau!
It’s one of the core agencies of Huaxia!
Yet now, Wu Feng and his team want to take over, how could he accept? The fury in his heart was nearly uncontrollable!
After which.
He began selecting people.
Led by Hua Zerong, they were the strongest and had the best teamwork!
Wei Chen confirmed this lineup and then looked at Lin Tian, coldly saying, "Previously, I remembered the matter! Today’s confrontation wouldn’t proceed, so you’re lucky! But next time..."
"No need for next time!"
Lin Tian smiled calmly, shaking his head, "The people you’ve chosen are just showy without substance, not their match! Aren’t there three chances? When you lose, I’ll have my trainees face them! If our side wins, doesn’t that mean your side is weaker than ours? That means you’ve lost! Remember... you’ll have to kneel and apologize then!"
Showy without substance?
The expression on Hua Zerong and others changed, turning extremely dark, and each of them glared at Lin Tian, gritting their teeth.
