Chapter 113 The Elite Team

1971 Words
"Now let me introduce a new comrade to you!" He Dong, the commander of the Eighty-ninth Army, personally brought Lu Yao and Wang Ping to the so-called logistics company's warehouse to report. "Attention!" "At ease!" "Everyone, welcome our new comrade!" After hearing He Dong's words, a young officer gathered the team immediately and waited for He Dong's instructions. "Attention!" After He Dong gave the command, he said, "Today, I will introduce a new comrade to you. His name is Lu Yao. In the next half month, he will be training with you until he finishes all the testing items." In the afternoon, Lu Yao met Huang Bingtian in the commander's office of the Eighty-ninth Army. After discussion, they finally decided to temporarily set up an elite team that was based on the logistics company to carry out a series of training activities in Yunwu Mountain for half a month, and Lu Yao also had to participate in the training. It was also Huang Bingtian's idea that He Dong should personally bring Lu Yao to report. He wanted He Dong to speak highly of Lu Yao. Thus, if Lu Yao did not try his best during the training and prove himself, he would feel embarrassed. This was an old trick used by some army leaders. It was very effective to deal with the kind of soldiers who were a pain in the a*s or came from the families of senior cadres. Although Lu Yao did not belong to either of the two types, Huang Bingtian still wanted to put him to the test. After He Dong finished speaking, he made a gesture at Lu Yao. Lu Yao understood what he meant and went forward to give a brief self-introduction. "Don't look down upon Lu Yao. Although he is much younger than you, his strength is no weaker than any of you. He has a nickname called 'the Invincible Man in Shuangta City'. If you don't believe me, you can have a friendly competition with him later!" When Lu Yao introduced himself, there were people who looked recalcitrant and eager to have a try. He Dong noticed this and he did not forget to pour oil on the fire, which made the atmosphere even more exciting. Xu Long, the captain of the logistics company, looked at his men and then at Lu Yao. He was also waiting to see the show today. "Xu Long!" He Dong shouted. "Here!" "Comrade Lu Yao is a staff officer of staff section in the military region. I will hand Staff Officer Lu over to you. When the training is over, you have to give the military region a satisfactory result, understood?" "Yes, sir!" "Alright, now you lead Staff Officer Lu to get familiar with everyone." After saying those words, He Dong whispered a few words to Lu Yao and left with Wang Ping. When Wang Ping passed by Lu Yao, he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. He patted Lu Yao on the shoulder, smiled helplessly and left without saying anything. Lu Yao knew that Wang Ping wanted to remind him because of He Dong's words. In fact, Lu Yao was having almost the same feeling as Wang Ping: he was both happy and a little helpless. It was true that He Dong had dug a pit for him, but this was also for his good. Lu Yao had stayed with Wang Ping and Buick for some days, and he knew the temperaments and habits of soldiers. Soldiers were the most straightforward group of people, and they also worshipped strength the most. Here, no matter you were a beggar or a rich young master, as long as you trained hard and had great strength, you could quickly win the recognition of everyone. However, if you wanted to play petty tricks, you would be sneered at with contempt by others. "Staff Officer Lu, my name is Gao Feng. You can call me Big Gao. I serve as a dynamiter in this team. I just heard Army Commander He say that you are known to be 'the Invincible Man in Shuangta City'. Coincidentally, I am a native of Shuangta City, so I would like to ask you to teach me a few moves. I hope that you will not reject." He Dong and Wang Ping had not walked out of the warehouse gate yet when they heard someone standing out to challenge Lu Yao. The corners of their mouths curved up slightly. Lu Yao knew that Xu Long was the captain of this team. After hearing Gao Feng's words, he looked at Xu Long. Gao Feng also noticed the expression in Lu Yao's eyes. He thought that Lu Yao wanted to ask Xu Long to come out and smooth things over after seeing his strong muscles and big size, so he said immediately, "What? Do you think I am not qualified to challenge you?" Hearing this, Lu Yao had no choice but to brace himself and accept the challenge. Seeing that Lu Yao took two steps forward, Gao Feng knew that Lu Yao had accepted his challenge. Then he took off his camouflage coat, folded it neatly, handed it to his comrade beside him, and began to warm up. In fact, Gao Feng was almost a shrunken version of Buick in Lu Yao's eyes. Gao Feng was about 1.9 meters tall, slightly taller than Lu Yao, but he was not as tall as Buick, who was more than two meters tall and gave people a sense of oppression at all times. Although Gao Feng had incomparably strong muscles, he was still much weaker than Buick, who had practiced Horizontal Training Art for many years. The only thing that made Gao Feng have an advantage over Buick was that there was a scar on Buick's chest that almost split him into two, while Gao Feng had a scar on his right eye. At first glance, Gao Feng looked fiercer than Buick. After Lu Yao cultivated Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, his muscles were strong enough to c***k stones, but on the surface, he didn't look so powerful. He looked like an ordinary fitness enthusiast who was only in good shape. As the two of them stood there, almost no one thought that Lu Yao would have a chance to win. "Guess, how many rounds can the Staff Officer Lu hold on against Big Gao?" "Two rounds!" "Two rounds? What are you thinking? With his thin frame, let alone Big Gao, even I can knock him down in one round. How dare you say two?" "What you said makes sense, but I think that his muscles are not ordinary, either. Obviously, he has trained a lot. I don't think he will be defeated in one round!" "Then why do you think he can hold on until the second round?" "I think that his footwork is steady and his muscles are well-proportioned. Besides, he is a staff officer. He may not be so brainless as to fight against Big Gao head-on. He should be able to hold on until the second round by moving flexibly and taking Big Gao by surprise in the first round!" "Well, Rat, do you dare to place a bet? I bet that Big Gao will knock down Staff Officer Lu with only one move!" The tall and thin man who firmly believed that Lu Yao would not be able to hold on for one round obviously disagreed with the other one's view and said directly. "Forget it. I don't like to do things which I am not sure of." The one nicknamed Rat hesitated and rejected the other one's proposal to bet. "Haha!" "Haha..." Although the voices of these people were restrained, everyone in the warehouse could still hear them clearly. When Gao Feng heard the words of his comrades, he looked at Lu Yao arrogantly as if he was going to defeat Lu Yao with one move as the one who wanted to make a bet with Rat said. As the captain, Xu Long was very clear about Big Gao's strength. He knew that in this team, if Big Gao claimed to be the second in terms of strength, then no one would dare to say that he was the first. He was also worried that Lu Yao would be badly defeated and would feel embarrassed in the team later, so he stood out and said, "Well, since Big Gao wanted to compete and Staff Officer Lu didn't refuse, how about the two of you doing weight lifting instead of fighting? Wouldn't that be a good way to show who is more powerful?" "Weight lifting?" When Gao Feng heard Xu Long's words, he looked unwilling. "Captain Xu, everyone gets tired of doing weight lifting every day. It's rare for us to be in a good mood today. Let's change the way!" "That's right. Besides, with Big Gao's strength, is there anything in this warehouse that he can't lift? Even if you let him lift the barbell with one hand, he can also do it. That's not cool. We want to see a real competition!" Hearing Xu Long's words, other teammates immediately understood what he meant. But at this time, everyone was in high spirits. Who would be willing to watch such a boring competition as weight lifting? For a moment, everyone was expressing their unwillingness. Xu Long was about to say something when Lu Yao spoke to everyone's surprise. "Captain Xu, forget it. Since everyone is in high spirits, I can't let them feel disappointed. Just do as they said. At worst, I will run faster so as not to be beaten too hard!" "Well... alright, since Staff Officer Lu has no objection, so be it." Xu Long glanced at Lu Yao and said helplessly, "I will be the referee later. When I call a halt, both sides should stop immediately. The person who fails to stop immediately will lose. Is there a problem with you?" "No." Gao Feng replied first. "No." Lu Yao also replied. "Can we start now?" Xu Long asked. The two of them nodded and walked towards a ring at the center of the warehouse. Everyone immediately followed closely behind them, surrounding the ring in all directions. "I'm Gao Feng, a dynamiter from logistics company of the Eighty-ninth Army. I will ask Staff Officer Lu from the military region to teach me something. Staff Officer Lu, please go easy on me!" Although Gao Feng was confident that he would not lose, he still greeted Lu Yao according to the routine. "I'm Lu Yao, a staff officer of the staff section in the military region. I am glad to learn from Brother Gao!" Lu Yao imitated Gao Feng and said accordingly. "Before you start, I'll announce the rules of the competition. In the competition, you are not allowed to..." As the referee on the field, Xu Long announced the rules of the competition to both sides and added a few more rules by the way. People who heard him immediately understood that the extra rules were added temporarily to protect Lu Yao. Lu Yao also understood it in his heart. Both sides were bare-handed without any protective gear. After they touched each other's fist, they retreated to the corner behind them, waiting for Xu Long's order. "Start!" Xu Long shouted loudly and dodged to the side quickly. With his accustomed wrestling footwork, Gao Feng protected his head symbolically with his left hand and kept throwing tentative punches with his right hand, moving quickly towards Lu Yao. He did not believe that Lu Yao would pose a threat to him, so although he made his move according to the fixed requirements during the usual training, he had no intention of defending at all. He was confident of an effortless victory.
