Commander Xie wanted to curse; looking toward Commander Zhou, he blurted out,
What are you doing? You must give the only soldier of our military region a chance to enter the top 20!
Commander Zhou glared at him.
You know we can’t contact them on the battlefield. I can’t control where or when they meet and fight.
Commander Xie:
Old Zhou, if your soldiers eliminate my Xu Cheng, I’ll challenge you right here!
Hush! I don’t want them to fight either. Let’s just watch.
Commander Zhou hushed him.
On the screen, Xu Cheng grinned at Yan Wei, Wu Hao, and Wang Ying, showing his white teeth; with dust all over him, he looked disheveled.
Yan Wei and Wu Hao stepped up to make a deal of cooperation, but Wang Ying reached out and stopped them.
Wang Ying looked at Xu Cheng and said,
You’re the only one left in your military region?
Xu Chen nodded.
Gritting her teeth, Wang Ying said,
If so, you’ll be eliminated sooner or later even if we work with you. I’d rather we don’t join forces and see if you can defeat us.
Xu Cheng:
Are you sure? I can help you enter top 3.
Wang Ying:
We don’t need you. When we invited you to join us, you refused our invitation. Today, I don’t see the necessity to work with you. Let’s fight.
Xu Cheng turned to go, but Wang Ying aimed a sniper rifle at the back of his head and yelled,
If you refuse, I’ll shoot you.
Resigned, Xu Cheng turned back and shrugged.
Do we have to fight each other?
Wang Ying:
This is a battlefield and we’re enemies. You have no choice but to fight us.
Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
How do we do it?
Wang Ying,
If you can beat the three of us, you can pass; if you lose, it means your abilities are not good enough. Even if we let you go, you’ll not be able to fight the high-level solo elites when your ammunition runs out. Since you’ll get eliminated sooner or later, we’ll just get you out ourselves.
Xu Cheng looked toward Yan Wei and Wu Hao.
What do you guys say?
Yan Wei:
Ying is right. If you can defeat the three of us, it means that you possibly have what it takes to survive until the end, or you’ll just get eliminated. Let’s do it; I’ve always wanted to see your true abilities.
In the spectating room, Commander Zhou looked toward Commander Xie in puzzlement and asked,
Is he strong? Didn’t you say his abilities decreased? I guess he has worked hard on his marksmanship after his fighting abilities decreased, right? Without a sniper rifle, he’d be at a big disadvantage.
Commander Xie snorted.
Your soldiers are shameless! Xu Cheng versus three main soldiers? Why don’t they fight him one on one? Shame on them!
Commander Zhou yelled back,
Please, you must know the situation right now is Xu Cheng facing our 11 soldiers. We’re showing him mercy by not shooting him on the spot and offering him a chance to fight the three of them. If you don’t like it, you can let him fight 11 soldiers by himself. I promise you they will beat your Xu Cheng senseless.
At this moment, Instructor Yan came back, and Commander Xie asked him anxiously,
How are Xu Cheng’s abilities?
Instructor Yan was surprised.
Why ask?
At Commander Xie’s gesture, Instructor Yan looked at the screen and saw Xu Cheng was facing Yan Wei, Wu Hao, and Wang Ying, and the 8 soldiers of their 8th MR team all stood behind their three comrades and had their gun up. At this moment, Xu Cheng, dressed in the uniform of the 5th MR, gave people the grand feeling of one man taking on an army.
They are going to fight each other.
Instructor Yan asked,
One on one?
Commander Xie,
Yeah. one Xu Cheng versus one team of their three main fighters; in other words, they will gang up on Xu Cheng.
Chapter 217 Then…I’ll make a move now! (Part two)
Instructor Yan looked toward the 8th MR.
Shameless!
Commander Zhou:
…
Instructor Yan said,
It’s hard to say. But I’m hopeful.
Commander Xie glared at him, not satisfied with his answer.
What do you mean you’re hopeful? He’s your soldier and pal; you should know him the best. Don’t be so vague.
After a moment of consideration, Instructor Yan said,
It’s hard to say because I fought him once.
Commander Xie asked,
Who won?
Instructor Yan answered,
He won.
Commander Zhou said,
Any two of my three main soldiers can defeat you with ease; even though Xu Cheng can defeat you, it doesn’t mean he can defeat my three main soldiers.
Instructor Yan looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. Commander Xie stared at him and said,
Speak your mind.
Instructor Yan said,
I said I’m hopeful because I wasn’t at any advantage at any point when I fought him. I can only say his abilities are unfathomable. Commander Zhou, indeed I can’t defeat your three soldiers, but I’m sure I can fight back. But when I faced Xu Cheng, I felt as helpless as if I was an ordinary man who was trying to bend a steel plate. No matter how hard you try, you can only hurt yourself.
Commander Zhou looked doubtful; pursing his lips, he said in disgust,
Are you serious? Yan, I find the older you are, the less clearly you are able to express yourself. I told you to read more books. It seems like you’re running out of words to describe Xu Cheng and made him sound like a monster. Do you mean my three main soldiers are not his match?
Instructor Yan nodded.
So I said I’m hopeful.
Indifferently, Commander Zhou turned his head back to the screen and saw Yan Wei, Wu Hao, and Wang Ying were closing on Xu Cheng. Strangely, Xu Cheng didn’t move a muscle, not even his eyes.
In contrast, his three opponents didn’t dare to make a move as he remained so calm.
Commander Zhou clicked his tongue.
What the heck are they waiting for?
The deputy instructor sitting beside him said,
Yan Wei was once defeated by Xu Cheng, so they know Xu Cheng’s power to a certain extent. They are very cautious with him, and I think they are testing the waters.
Five minutes later…
Commander Zhou’s jaw dropped.
Do they need five minutes to test the waters?
Even Xu Cheng finally looked up at the three soldiers who kept walking around him but didn’t attack, saying,
Do you want to fight or not? If you don’t, I’ll leave.
Yan Wei and the other two almost spewed out blood. They were trying tensely to find Xu Cheng’s weaknesses, but he just stood there solemnly; it turned out he just didn’t take this fight seriously.
Facing this insult, Wu Hao became angry and attacked immediately.
Striding over, he swept his leg at Xu Cheng.
The fight began! The two commanders watched it tensely.
When Wu Hao’s foot connected with the side of Xu Cheng’s waist, Xu Cheng didn’t dodge and took it expressionlessly as if he didn’t feel anything. Then he said,
I took the kick as my gift to you guys. Now, I’ll begin.
