NOVEL WEB Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Flying Dragon Special Forces
The second platoon leader, Gao Jie, was the youngest in the entire company. Although young, he had always put on a frosty face, and it was rare for everyone to see him smiling.
Seeing him laughing from the bottom of his heart always felt unreal. Chen Ming also looked over. It was indeed Gao Jie, the second platoon leader himself. At this time, he was talking and laughing with the opposite person and still smiling happily.
Who could make the platoon leader show such an expression?
Chen Ming looked at the man opposite Gao Jie in surprise. It was a burly man also wearing a military uniform, but his military uniform was a bit special.
He is wearing a starry sky camouflage combat uniform, a beret on his head, and a pair of particularly cool sunglasses, or goggles, to prevent direct ultraviolet rays from shining on the eyes and protect the eyes with special glasses. Although he was standing with the platoon leader, his aura was completely different from the platoon leader’s.
This kind of aura is indescribable. If he stands in the crowd, even with the most amiable smile, it will be difficult for ordinary people to approach him. Because the aura on his body is too strong, it’s not the leader’s aura. It seems more like a murderous aura…
Chen Ming didn’t know what a murderous person was like, but the moment he saw this person, the first thing he thought of was this word.
Now is a time of peace, except for some border guards and armed police soldiers, very few ordinary troops are on the front line, and murderous veterans are very rare. There will also be faint exudations of aura among the army veterans, as if they will become solemn unconsciously when they get close. But he is different, after seeing him, he is scary!
“Who is this person?” He Dong stood beside Chen Ming, looking at the person opposite Gao Jie.
Chen Ming also said, “I don’t know, but it’s not an ordinary person who can make the platoon leader laugh like this.”
Chen Ming looked at that person and had a faint intuition that he might not be in a regular unit.
Suddenly, Chen Ming remembered that while looking through Gao Jie’s materials, he saw that Gao Jie had published a paper titled “Research on the Tactics of the British Special Forces in the Falklands War” during his college days.
Why does the platoon leader have such a soft spot for research on special forces?
Coupled with that person’s clothes, Chen Ming subconsciously thought that that person might be from the special forces!
Chen Ming was surprised that the platoon leader still had contact with the special forces. People in this era, because the Internet was underdeveloped, most people might not know what special forces are. However, as a reborn, Chen Ming had watched too many videos and films related to special forces.
They know not only the special forces but also that they can complete almost impossible tasks for ordinary people!
Thinking of this, Chen Ming’s subconscious heart beat faster, and the specific reason could not be explained. It might be because of excitement, curiosity, or desire…
While Chen Ming was meditating, several people were still chatting and discussing.
He Dong nodded, “I like his glasses.”
“I think that that is also good.” Yu Jun stared at the man’s hat.
“Superficial, that suit is the most handsome!” He Xue squinted, staring at the starry sky camouflage combat uniform.
Listening to their discussion, Chen Ming couldn’t laugh or cry.
After chatting with the platoon leader for a few words, the man left, and the platoon leader withdrew the smile on his face, returning to his usual indifferent appearance.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw Chen Ming and his group stopping not far away. After thinking about it, he waved his arm and let Chen Ming and the others go up.
Chen Ming and the others hurried up.
“Why did you guys go?”
The squad leader looked at the group and asked indifferently, unlike when he talked to that person just now.
Chen Ming smiled and said, “Can’t sleep, going for a walk before dinner.”
After a pause, he gathered courage and asked, “Squad Leader, who was that person you were chatting with? I haven’t seen him in the barracks.”
Gao Jie was surprised that Chen Ming dared to ask. Normally, recruits either salute officers or quickly avoid them, praying not to be noticed.
The squad leader thought for a moment and replied, “He’s from the Feilong Special Forces, just passing by. You wouldn’t have seen him naturally.”
“Special Forces?” He Dong looked puzzled, and others were equally clueless. In this era, information about special forces was not easily accessible.
The squad leader explained, “Special Forces are elite soldiers, undertaking almost impossible missions on the front lines.”
Chen Ming nodded, having some prior knowledge about special forces. He asked, “How do you know them, Squad Leader?”
Before his rebirth, Chen Ming knew that even family members often didn’t know about a soldier’s specific role in the military.
Looking at a withered tree, the squad leader reminisced, “When I was 18, a mudslide hit my hometown. The special forces saved many villagers, and I dreamt of joining them.”
Knowing the squad leader’s past, Chen Ming understood the connection. The squad leader continued, “I almost died, but the person you saw saved me from the mud.”
As the recruits learned about the squad leader’s encounter with the special forces, they gained newfound respect for him.
He Dong, not fully understanding, asked, “Did you join the special forces, Squad Leader?”
Everyone rolled their eyes at He Dong. Joining special forces meant leaving the current position.
The squad leader explained, “I’m still working towards it.”
Then, turning to Chen Ming, he said, “With your abilities, you could become a special soldier. Have you considered it?”
Chen Ming thought for a moment, intrigued by the cool appearance of the special soldier he had seen earlier. Being part of a unit doing meaningful work appealed to him.
Perhaps that was exactly what Chen Ming desired the most.
