Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 207 - A Perfect Start

Chapter 207: A Perfect Start (Part one)

Before being sent to the battleground, someone would prepare a paralyzing drug for every military region and on the ride there, they would feed the soldiers water that contained the drug which would knock them unconscious as well. Then, these soldiers would be driven to their respective lots that they picked out from the draw.

If a soldier’s will was strong enough, they would be among the first to wake up. Then, they would have a lot more time to prepare and gain a big advantage.

This test was actually rejected from being used before, but considering how it could a.s.sess the willpower of these people, it was ultimately added to the compet.i.tion.

There were cameras at the start points of all the teams, and at around 6 o’clock in the morning, the first person woke up already.

Seeing the live stream, all the commanders were a bit surprised, and they looked towards Commander Xie of the 5th MR with an odd expression.

It was because out of all the soldiers that were unconscious, the first one to wake up was actually Xu Cheng from the 5th MR!

“Who’s this guy?” immediately, many commanders asked with shock. They could only see from Xu Cheng’s badge that he was from the 5th MR, but there was no name. They were all pretty curious.

Before the data a.n.a.lyst could introduce Xu Cheng, Commander Xie said proudly, “He’s Xu Cheng. If you guys remember the past compet.i.tions, you probably know about my team’s Three Swordsmen, right? He’s their top gun.”

The other commanders tried hard to suppress their worry. “Maybe he just has a strong will. He’s in the center area surrounded by enemies, so he will be eliminated sooner or later.”

Commander Xie: “I actually don’t think so. Maybe he can take advantage of his early wakeup and escape this area to play defense elsewhere.”

In the camera, Xu Cheng got up and began trying to wake up his teammates around him. After being patted awake, Hu Bing had his initial shock and was instinctively about to fight, Xu Cheng covered his mouth and gestured for him to be quiet. Then, he whispered, “Everyone, try to be quiet, let’s pack up and try to take advantage of this time and retreat. Once the other teams wake up, we won’t be able to break out anymore.”

Hu Bing didn’t speak but he quickly went to grab his gear, bullet-proof vest, helmet, combat knife, flash bangs, pistol, sniper rifle, smoke grenades, and additional ammunition.

As everyone was getting ready, Xu Cheng activated his penetrating vision, scanned around, and said, “According to my experience of previous years’ compet.i.tion, the other soldiers shouldn’t be awake yet at this time. Follow me, I will lead you guys away from this area. We will find a place that’s good to defend and then make a gameplan after.”

At this moment, Hu Bing was angered. He looked at Xu Cheng and couldn’t help but say, “You should remember who’s the captain here.”

Xu Cheng was speechless. Right now was definitely the best time to retreat, yet this brat still had the mind to argue about who should be giving orders.

In the video-viewing area, the other commanders were just wondering if Xu Cheng could save the entire 5th MR, but upon seeing this scene, they all smiled. “Commander Xie, it seems like your team isn’t very harmonious.”

Commander Xie was so anxious. Right now, no other team had woken up yet, and the best strategy at the moment would be to retreat right away or eliminate a full team first. Yet, who knew Hu Bing would actually get into an argument with Xu Cheng. If he was at the scene, he would’ve slapped Hu Bing in the face just now.

Xu Cheng glared at Hu Bing and said, “Listen to me, after we leave this place, I will listen to everything you say, but now is not the time to say things like this. Everyone, hurry up, and follow me.”

Hu Bing directly stopped the others. “If you want to leave then go by yourself. I told you, you are not a part of our team. We have our own plan, so we are fine as long as you don’t interfere with us.”

“Hu Bing, just quit it. Right now we are already on the battlefield and we have to stay vigilant and work together. Senior Xu Cheng is experienced, we should listen to him.”

“You shut up.” Hu Bing’s eyes swept past everyone as he said, “We have our own gameplan, and he will only disrupt our rhythm. Who knows if there are already strong enemies outside waiting for us or not. We might die faster if we head out. Right now, we should immediately set up this area with traps and camouflage ourselves and camp here.”

Chapter 207: A Perfect Start (Part two)

Xu Cheng got anxious. “We don’t have time now, I will ask again, are you following me or him?”

The others looked at him, and then they looked at the angry Hu Bing. In the end, no one intended to leave. Xu Cheng disappointingly nodded. “Alright, then good luck to you all.”

As he said that, Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and picked up his equipment and left.

Commander Xie directly threw the tablet in his hand onto the ground, and the other commanders all laughed.

Instructor Yan was also sitting at the back seats nervously. Why did this Hu Bing screw up at such a critical time… It’s over, it’s over. Originally, they could’ve taken advantage of the fact that Xu Cheng woke up first and retreat safely to avoid getting besieged, but who knew that Hu Bing would drag everyone back to stay. He almost began to suspect whether Hu Bing was a spy sent over from another military region!

The other commanders all laughed, but among them, the commander of the 21st MR’s smile immediately froze and disappeared… It was because… in the video, Xu Cheng came to the area where the 21st MR team was stationed at. All 15 of them didn’t wake up yet.

Holy c.r.a.p!

That commander immediately stood up and shouted, “WHAT THE FACK IS THIS XU CHENG MOTHERFACKER PLANNING TO DO?”

He began praying in his heart nonstop while secretly cursing at his soldiers, Hurry up, wake up! You guys are about to become free food for others, why the fack are you all still sleeping?!

On the screen, Xu Cheng locked onto those 15 sleeping soldiers like a cheetah. He instinctively pulled out his dagger and slowly moved closer.

The 21st MR’s Commander directly shouted, “[email protected]! [email protected]! Hurry up and wake up!”

But his screaming was of no use, because his mic wasn’t connected to his soldiers. Xu Cheng came to a soldier and he lightly swiped the dull blade across the neck, leaving behind a faint red trail. Then, like a grim reaper, he moved from one to another, drawing red lines on their necks.

“WAKE UP! YOU FACKS!” The 21st MR’s commander shouted from the top of his lungs to the last three that remained.

But it was too late. After finishing the job, Xu Cheng disappeared into the jungle like a night walker.

Judge: “The 5th MR + 15 points, Xu Cheng personal score + 15!”

Judge: “The 21st Military Region was completely defeated. Aced!”

The commanders all turned to look at the 21st Military Region’s commander with big smiles. “Congratulations, congratulations man.”

Congratulate your azz!

The 21st MR’s commander almost fainted. This was definitely the most humiliating way to get eliminated, which was basically getting killed while still in the cradle. Looking at those soldiers that were still deep asleep, this commander really wanted to dig a hole in the ground, crawl in it, and never come out.

He angrily got up, and then he shouted at his MR’s head instructor, “When those facks come out, tell them to not come back to my region. I can’t afford to lose this much face.”

The 21st MR’s head instructor’s body shivered.

Commander Xie laughed out loud. Holy c.r.a.p was that satisfying to watch. This year, he honestly didn’t expect his team to win any top place, but seeing how Xu Cheng single-handedly took out an entire team and p.i.s.sed off another commander felt way too good.
