Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Drill Concluded
Falcon, through the scope, silently awaited the enemy’s next move, like a venomous snake ready to strike after hibernation, biding its ti. In the enemy’s eyes, the importance of a sniper was absolutely no less than that of a commander, and the destructive power a sniper could unleash was beyond imagination.
However, once a sniper repeatedly reveals their position, the enemy can easily locate them, thus they must have multiple shooting positions. Falcon’s current location was enough to threaten the entire SAD squad.
“Captain, I can’t find the target yet,” Falcon said, his tone a bit anxious after failing to locate the SAD sniper for so long.
“If he fires once, are you confident you’ll find him?” Ouyang Feng asked indifferently.
“Confident,” Falcon answered firmly.
“Good, then I’ll give you this opportunity.” As soon as Ouyang Feng’s words fell, he suddenly leaped outward, and at the sa ti, a bullet whizzed past him, nearly hitting its mark.
“Found him,” Falcon imdiately acquired the target, pulled the trigger without a mont’s hesitation.
“Bang.”
“Captain, the enemy sniper has been eliminated,” Falcon reported calmly.
“Falcon, roll call, hunt at will.”
“Yes, Captain.”
………………
“Not bad, Ouyang Feng’s handling was decisive,” Ye Shikai comnded as he stood beside the monitor, impressed by Falcon’s professional strength. An old soldier of Dragon Teeth, he was one of the survivors who followed Ye from the previous operation.
“It seems this ti it turned out just as you expected,” Wen Ya smiled faintly at Ye Shikai. “Ouyang didn’t win that easily.”
“As expected,” Ye Shikai smiled smugly, slowly standing up. “It’s about ti to wrap this up; I’ll go and see them.”
Twenty minutes later.
Back in the sa departure hall, mbers of both teams were neatly lined up, waiting for speeches from Ye Shikai and Yan Kuan. Cheng Luoqi had persisted with the last two or three people until the final annihilation. With only five people remaining in Dragon Teeth’s special forces, there was no doubt that this was a bitter victory, and one could even say SAD narrowly missed winning.
“Atten-hut,” as Ye Shikai arrived, mbers of both teams imdiately stood at attention and saluted.
“Cough cough, I believe that through this confrontation drill, both teams have gained so experience,” Ye Shikai returned the salute and said tonelessly while holding the docunt in his hand, “So the results of this confrontation are out. Dragon Teeth’s special forces, five remaining, SAD special forces, all fallen. According to the rules, Dragon Teeth has won.”
There were no cheers, no applause.
Indeed, Ouyang Feng’s mood was probably worse than Cheng Luoqi’s. Such a victory was practically a failure.
“Relax everyone, the exercise is over,” Ye Shikai said with a slight smile, “Tonight there will be a campfire party at the camp, also as a fellowship between the two teams. That counts as good news, right?”
“Good,” At this mont, Cheng Luoqi suddenly led the applause, and everyone was stunned at first, but then little by little, smiles appeared.
“According to the prior arrangent, SAD will stay to clean up the base, Dragon Teeth special forces are dismissed.”
“Dragon Teeth, give them a hand,” at this point, Ouyang Feng shouted, and the SAD mbers were montarily startled. Understanding each other’s intention, they left the training field with smiles, as all were comrades in arms and should naturally get along harmoniously.
In fact, due to the special relationship between Hong Kong and Yanjing, SAD and Dragon Teeth were bound to have many joint trainings or collaborations, and this confrontational exercise was just the beginning.
……………
The next noon, Ye Shikai drove leisurely, leaving the base of Dragon Teeth. He felt a vague unease about the upcoming wedding; for so reason, he just didn’t feel confident, despite the fact that all the generals of Netherworld Palace had arrived and he had even invited Ouyang Feng; the internal security was thoroughly scrutinized by Worm to guard against any contingencies, supposedly foolproof, yet he still couldn’t rest easy.
What concerned him most was Chen Yuxin.
Driving slowly towards the Chen family mansion, Ye Shikai was anxious. Chen Yuxin probably wouldn’t accept the fact easily. As he approached the gate, Ye Shikai even felt the urge to turn around and flee.
No, he couldn’t be a coward at this mont; he had to speak clearly.
“Rember there’s an Array here, can’t just barge in,” Ye recalled the last ti he hastily fled in distress, a shiver ran through him considering just how powerful the Chen family’s ancestor was, incapacitating him with re Array work.
“Uh, I’ve co to see your Family Head, my na is Ye Shikai. Could you please notify her?”
“Very well, sir, please wait a mont.”
Five minutes later.
“Sir, please co in.”
Ye Shikai slowly parked the car, then hesitantly placed his hand on the car door.
Is it still possible to leave now?
“Mr. Ye, can you hear ?” At that mont, a knocking ca from the car window. Ye Shikai turned his head to see Chen Ruoya smiling at him.
“Yes,” Ye Shikai said, opening the car door.
“Mr. Ye, it’s been a long while since you last visited,” Chen Ruoya teased.
“The last ti I ca here, I ended up seriously injured and in a coma,” Ye Shikai replied grumpily.
“Mr. Ye is joking. The Family Head is inside getting ready, please wait a little longer,” Chen Ruoya led Ye Shikai inside. The mansion was as opulent as ever, and right at the center was where Chen Yuxin usually entertained guests.
Why did she need to get ready, using so much ti? Ye Shikai looked at his watch – already twenty minutes had passed, and he had drunk three cups of tea on the table. It seed Su Qingyu also took a long ti to get ready before going out.
“Kai, sorry to keep you waiting,” at that mont, a gentle voice ca from the doorway. Chen Yuxin, dressed in a pink Hanfu, looked as though she had stepped out of a TV drama.
Of course, it was not cosplay; in fact, this Hanfu bore a seven out of ten resemblance to a long gown, and the dash of unique elents caught a man’s eye, offering a refreshing surprise.
“No worries, my visit today is just to see you,” Ye Shikai said lightly.
Silence, quiet, it was hard to speak out indeed. If he really said it and Chen Yuxin couldn’t accept it, what then? Moreover, the Chen family ancestor had said that Chen Yuxin’s ntality wasn’t stable due to a deviation in her cultivation practice. Any significant emotional upheaval could lead to unpredictable reactions – she might lose her reason. But if he didn’t speak…
“Cough cough, Xin, in a few days, it will be my wedding,” Ye Shikai muttered in a voice quieter than a mosquito’s buzz.
