Chapter 1226 Farmers, Team Up to Run Dungeon and Boss

"What exactly happened in this match?"

"Why are there so many strange rules now?"

"What era are we living in? There are no bandits left here. It's not like before liberation!"

The people from Sirius were completely devastated.

Victory was almost within reach.

Suddenly, a side quest appeared, forcing the team members to give up the chance to sprint to the finish line and choose to go around in circles instead.

However, the leaders of Wolf Fang, Thunder Leopard, and the Airborne Brigade held completely different views.

"Helping the weak and punishing the strong is the true mechanism of balance."

“I’ve always felt that the competition format is a bit too monotonous, but I could never figure out exactly what the problem was. Now it’s clear at a glance.”

"Chief of Staff Zhao, your team could have chosen to sprint straight to the finish line; there was absolutely no need for them to come back. With Sirius's points, they would most likely still be firmly in first or second place."

Zhao Yun's eye twitched slightly.

He can accept maintaining his first-place position.

But don't even think about securing second place!

"Despite the new side quests, Sirius remains the strongest fighter!"

"Oh? I don't think so."

At this moment, Lei Kaiwen became somewhat smug: "Right now, we Lei Bao have the most people, so we have a great advantage in terms of numbers."

The others gave forced smiles while secretly cursing him as shameless.

They've kept their strength hidden all this time.

Despite this, no one believed that Lei Bao could catch up with Tian Lang and compete for the number one spot.

In fact, Lei Kaiwen never even thought about taking first place; he just wanted to maintain his previous ranking and take another step forward.

People should be realistic and eat only what they can handle. When Qin Feng initially formulated the training plan, he never thought that Lei Bao could surpass everyone and take first place in a short period of time.

But if we get a good ranking, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At this point, the major from the airborne battalion raised a question.

"Captain, I have a question. Isn't this mechanism of suddenly introducing new missions during the competition a bit too unfair to Sirius? Also, everyone else has said that bandits have long since disappeared in this era. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

"You haven't been on a mission before, have you?"

The airborne battalion commander replied casually, which completely stunned the major.

He shook his head, saying he had only participated in some exercises and combat missions.

The captain smiled and asked Yu Nian'an to explain it to him.

"Special forces soldiers can never simply work in a single line when carrying out a mission."

"For example, our mission is to penetrate deep into the enemy's stronghold, lie in wait and infiltrate, eliminate the enemy's leader, destroy important facilities, and then withdraw."

"But if, during a mission, we are suddenly attacked by rioters who massacre our civilians, calling for backup will not be timely. We must immediately terminate the initial mission to protect the civilians."

The major pondered, "What if the enemy leader notices something and takes the opportunity to escape?"

Yu Nian'an: "Usually, people are divided into two groups; a small number of people continue to carry out the plan, but the risk factor will increase greatly and the difficulty will also increase, while the other group is sent out to protect the people."

"On the battlefield, different adjustments need to be made according to different situations; there is no such thing as a perfect solution, and missions are not pre-written scripts, so all sorts of unexpected events are possible."

The major understood, and his gaze towards the other person changed completely.

He wanted to ask out of curiosity whether Yu Nian'an had ever participated in actual combat missions.

But saying that would make me seem particularly cheap.

Therefore, he could only emphasize that he served as the head of the tactics club during his time at military academy and led the team to victory on several occasions.

But his so-called achievements were selectively ignored because, in the eyes of these combat-oriented special operations leaders, they were nothing more than child's play.

......

On the big screen, the perspective has now been completely switched to that of Shinian Village.

From an aerial view taken by a drone, the village is laid out in an irregular circle, with a small river flowing along its side.

The village looks like a stone mill used for grinding soybeans in the countryside, hence the name Shi Nian Village (Stone Mill Village).

At this time, the competition organizers' staff had already moved into the village and installed cameras in designated locations.

The footage shows special forces soldiers rushing towards the village from different locations.

Among them, some were covered in dust and dirt, some were covered in mud, and some were exhausted and panting.

The competition and intense chases over the past few days have taken a toll on all the participants.

In particular, there are a number of female soldiers known as "Black Phoenix" led by Tan Xiaoqian.

Their physical strength was already weaker than that of men, and the long-distance march and combat almost broke the bodies of every female soldier.

"Captain, no, I can't go on!"

Within the Black Phoenix team, some members have begun to fall behind.

Tan Xiaoqian looked back and ordered everyone to rest for ten minutes.

How many bottles of nutrient solution are left?

"There are only two bottles left."

"Share some drinks, then eat something to quickly replenish your energy."

"it is good."

Several female soldiers, looking like mud-covered monkeys, sat on the ground and shared their food.

The two bottles of nutrient solution were passed from one person to another, and by the time they reached Tan Xiaoqian, there wasn't much left.

But she didn't hesitate and drank it all in one gulp; it tasted extremely sweet, like drinking a high concentration of glucose and Red Bull puree.

But the energy boost from this product is definitely the best among all the similar nutritional supplements that Tan Xiaoqian has ever tried.

As the competition progressed, even she had to admire Qin Feng's foresight.

If it weren't for using a honey trap, and if it weren't for going to the Central Plains war zone to get nutrient supplements...

Based on past experience, by this stage of the competition, Black Phoenix would have been almost completely wiped out.

This time, however, they still have two-fifths of their fighting strength remaining, making them almost the team with the most remaining fighting strength besides Lei Bao.

Although the process was not honorable, isn't that what war is all about—using all sorts of tricks?

"Captain, Shinian Village should be just ahead, a maximum of twenty minutes' walk."

"Notify the others later to split into pairs and fight a guerrilla war on the perimeter, without going in."

"Huh? Aren't we going in to kill the bandits?"

"We won't go in for now; let other units take the lead."

"Then, can we snipe from behind?"

"No."

"What?"

"Because fighting bandits is to protect the people, we must unite unless the bandits are eliminated."

At this point, launching a sneak attack would truly mean having absolutely no bottom line.

Even if you win the game, you'll still get bombarded with criticism.

"Okay, that's almost it."

"Let's go."

Just as Tan Xiaoqian was about to lead her team forward, two more teams appeared on her flank.

They are Liu Yan, the sharp sword guarding the war zone.

And Li Jiasheng from a special operations company in the Southwest Theater Command.

After the three met, they were initially a little stunned, then looked like they wanted to laugh.

Why does it give me this strange feeling of farm buddies getting together and getting ready to team up to fight a boss?

"Team up?"

Do we need to team up to fight bandits?

"Actually, I also think it's unnecessary. We have our own tactical ideas."

"What if I said there's a high chance that the bandit leader will be my brother Feng?"

Li Jiasheng's bold guess sent chills down the spines of the two women, and a strong sense of unease gripped their hearts.

It felt as if I had returned to the sweltering heart of Lop Nur, gripped by the fear of the man with the white goat mask.

This guy is really aiming to defeat the boss!
