Chapter 131 The Stories Between Hong Yan and Xu Long

When everyone arrived at the destination indicated by the detector, they were somewhat stunned by the scene in front of them.

Judging from the four consecutive pictures taken by the small detector, the bear clearly jumped down from the place ahead, but when the team members arrived, they found that it was a cliff ahead.

Moreover, it was a cliff that was more than ten meters high. Below the cliff was flat ground. Not far away, there was a lake. Strictly speaking, it should also be a barrier lake formed from rainwater.

"Lu Yao, perhaps this bear has jumped into that lake?" Wang Shi was a very experienced member of the special assault team, but what happened in front of him was too incredible. Now he thought only Lu Yao could explain these things, therefore he immediately asked Lu Yao.

Lu Yao did not directly answer his question. He picked up a watermelon-sized rock from the side and threw it towards the bottom of the cliff.

After thirty seconds, the team members heard the sound of the stone falling to the ground. Xu Long picked up the observation device in his hand. Wang Shi raised the sniper rifle and looked in the direction of the sound.

The other team members gathered around the two of them, eager to know what was going on below.

"Xiao Lu, even with your strength, you can't throw a watermelon-sized rock into the barrier lake. Therefore, it is impossible for the bear to jump into the lake from here. It seems that your previous deduction is completely correct. It is not just a bear!" Xu Long handed the observation device in his hand to the person next to him. He pulled Lu Yao to the side and whispered, "What do you think we should do next?"

"Captain Xu, I think that bear must be the one who has been following and observing us. Although I don't know why it is doing this, I think it will definitely come back. Rather than going to find it, it is better for us to..." Lu Yao laughed and told Xu Long what he was thinking.

After listening to Lu Yao's plan, Xu Long thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he followed Lu Yao's advice.

He gathered the team members and they continued to rush to the designated location.

The Falcon Assault Team was in a much smoother situation than Lu Yao and his team members. Under Hong Yan's lead, although the route they chose was rugged, it was safe and they could hide themselves well.

However, they also encountered something unexpected. Half an hour ago, they found two soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and camouflage makeup in a cave. If Hong Yan had not reacted quickly, Eagle and Vulture would have almost attacked them.

At that time, the two soldiers must have not noticed that some people had come near them. Just as Eagle and Vulture were about to attack, Hong Yan suddenly imitated an ear-piercing cry of a falcon, which prevented Eagle and Vulture from making a move.

"Captain, it was so dangerous just now. If you hadn't warned us in time, we might have already been sitting in the military truck and sent back to the camp!" When he recalled what had just happened, Eagle felt a lingering fear in his heart. He patted his chest and said, "Captain, how did you discover that something was wrong with them?"

Vulture looked at Hong Yan curiously as well.

"I have already reminded you that there are ten ordinary soldiers participating in this drill. Just now, you were only four or five meters away from them and they did not notice a thing. What does this mean?" Hong Yan asked Eagle and Vulture with a serious expression.

"That's right, why didn't we think of it!" The two of them weren't fools. When Hong Yan said this, they instantly understood and spoke in unison.

Su Li, who was following behind Hong Yan, interjected, "Do you really think that the members of the elite team of the Eighty-Ninth Army are a bunch of good-for-nothings? If they are useless, will the instructor send us to carry out the confrontation drill with them?"

"But I read a brief report about them. This so-called elite team is basically made up of the candidates who were eliminated in our selection process at that time. In just a few years, it's hard for me to believe they will become much stronger!" Vulture was still not convinced.

Hong Yan stopped and patted Vulture in the head. He laughed and said, "As you said, they are basically the ones who were eliminated in our selection competition. That means that there are some people who are not. You all know Wang Shi. Although his shooting skills are not as good as Tie Feinan, he is also an expert among experts. Otherwise, how could he be valued by Army Commander He of the Eighty-Ninth Army!"

"That's true. If Wang Shi hadn't been injured and was forced to quit the selection competition, he would be one of us now, and Commander Huang of the Xindu Military Region wouldn't have been lucky to have Wang Shi." Tie Feinan echoed.

Su Li and Tie Feinan followed Hong Yan side by side. Tie Feinan had a long sniper rifle on his back. He asked Hong Yan in front of him, "Captain Hong, we all know about most of the members of the elite team. But there are two people whom we are unfamiliar with. Tell us about them, especially the captain, Xu Long. I once heard our instructor mention him. It seems that you met him once?"

"Alright, I was going to tell you guys about it when we camped tonight, but now that everything seems normal around and Feinan has asked, I will tell you now about Captain Xu!" Hong Yan let out a long breath and said to his team members.

"I don't know what Xu Long's code name is now, but I remember his former code name. Sea Hawk!" After Hong Yan finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

"What? Captain Hong, you are joking, aren't you? You told me that in the past fifteen years, only one person in our team had Hawk in his code name." Hearing Hong Yan's words, even Su Li, who was usually calm, was surprised.

"That's right. In the past fifteen years, I was the only one who used the word hawk in the code names. My code name was Golden Hawk. The others have never used hawk in their code names. However, Xu Long's code name was indeed Sea Hawk. I will never forget this." For a moment, Hong Yan seemed to be lost in thought as he slowly recalled the scene when he first became a member of the Falcon Special Assault Team.

Back then, Hong Yan was a soldier who always caused trouble for the company he was in at that time. The leaders locked him up and threatened to give him a demerit in his archives, but he would make mistakes again and again.

If it were not for the fact that the trouble he caused was because of his "good intentions" and that he had superb military skills at that time, the company commander would have made him leave the army and go back to his hometown. Later, there was a leader of the Falcon Special Assault Team who inadvertently discovered him when he inspected the company. If Hong Yan had not been discovered then, he might have retired from the army by now.

Some leaders of the special assault team said that they liked soldiers who always caused trouble. This perfectly matched the temperament of Hong Yan.

In the Falcon Assault Team, Hong Yan met Xu Long, who joined the team one year earlier than him.

At that time, Xu Long was not a formal member of the Falcon Assault Team, but a temporary staff member. He was selected by the navy army headquarters and sent to the Falcon Assault Team to participate in the training there.

Although he was an outsider, he was an excellent soldier at that time, and he was making preparations to establish the Seal Assault Team. Therefore, the Falcon Assault Team's captain made an exception and gave him a code name, Sea Hawk. By doing so, the captain was trying to help Xu Long get along well with his teammates.

Before Hong Yan came, no one was a match for Xu Long in the free wrestling training. Even the instructor at that time only fought him to a draw, so the team members usually gathered around him, asking him to teach them some of his wrestling skills.

However, at that time, Hong Yan was young, energetic and kind of arrogant. He dared to do anything. He did not believe that Xu Long was invincible and he disliked Xu Long somewhat. The second day after becoming a member of the Falcon Assault Team, he wanted to compete with Xu Long.

At first, Xu Long did not agree, so Hong Yan blocked Xu Long's door and kept asking Xu Long to fight with him. Later, the captain made a decision for them, and they agreed to have a competition in which the two of them wouldn't go too far.

This matter was known to everyone in Xijing Military Region at that time. Even the soldiers who cooked food in the logistics company knew about this. The reporters of the military newspaper even interviewed Xu Long and Hong Yan separately and published their interviews in the military newspaper.

Hence, a private competition turned into a sensational competition in the military region.

"Our competition was arranged to be on a sunny day. At that time, some of Xijing Military Region's leaders also came. Hundreds of soldiers gathered around the martial arts arena. However, most of them were Xu Long's supporters. After all, they had heard about Xu Long's strength. However, I was just a rookie who had just become a member of the Falcon Assault Team." The corners of Hong Yan's mouth curled up. He revealed a slight smile and said, "But I didn't care about that at the time. I just wanted to defeat him."

"Not long after the martial arts competition officially began, the clear sky was covered by dark clouds. Thunder and lightning appeared in succession. Soon, there was a downpour. Xu Long and I had already been engaged in the fight. No one was willing to stop. Besides, the army leaders instructed us to continue fighting. In such weather, we had a lose-lose competition."

"Perhaps in the beginning, both of us were somewhat reserved. After all, the leaders were all there. But later, for some unknown reason, we fought fiercely. Our fists were numb and our legs were bruised. Our noses and faces were covered in blood. If not for our comrades rushing up the stage to separate us, we wouldn't even know who would be the first to fall!"

As Hong Yan spoke, his voice became much softer, and the expression on his face changed, as if he was very unwilling to recall the situation at that time.

"Captain Hong, what happened after that?" Everyone asked in unison.

"After that, he and I stayed in the infirmary for a whole week before we could barely get out of bed. However, it was from then on that he was called back and he returned to his old team, and I no longer heard any news about him. If I hadn't seen his photo today, I wouldn't have believed that he, who was from the Navy, would actually be in a frontier corps like the Eighty-Nine Army." Hong Yan told his comrades without holding anything back.

"Is Xu Long very strong?" Tie Feinan was the Falcon Assault Team's number one sniper. He usually spoke very little. But today, he asked a lot of questions.

"Right now, I don't know. He should not be much weaker than me!" In fact, Hong Yan did not know how Xu Long had gone through these years. Hong Yan only inferred based on the recent situation over the years.

"It seems that this confrontation drill is not a boring thing. At least we are really looking forward to seeing Captain Xu!" Su Li said.

Hong Yan did not continue, but as his comrades who usually spent the day with him, the other team members all knew what he was thinking. In fact, Hong Yan also hoped to have a new contest with his old opponent, each carrying their team members.
