Chapter 329: Chapter 252 Malnutrition_2

"This time it’s a direct combat test, the opponents are foreign mercenaries, their objective is to conduct reconnaissance on our project’s secret base."

Chen Xuantian flipped through the photos of over twenty targets disguised as climbers and local guides,

"In this day and age, they’re still sending mercenaries to infiltrate? Why don’t we send the Dragon Team or something to take them out?"

Duan Tie quipped,

"Why not send, we are the Dragon Team after all."

"Oh, that’s right..."

Wang Wei explained with a smile,

"They sneaked in from no man’s land, even if apprehended, they could claim to be lost. Moreover, the opponents seem to have some special equipment that allows them to move at speeds far beyond normal, the border troops simply can’t catch up with them, the local environment is complex and the weather is harsh, the satellites can only confirm general areas.

It’s possible they also have weapons, so there’s a certain level of risk in this combat test, we’ve also arranged for local units to support you, and you can call for fire support if necessary."

Duan Tie looked at the fire support list and whistled,

"Bringing an entire synthetic brigade here is really overkill, right? Just bomb it flat, wouldn’t that solve it all, what do we need to do then?"

Wang Wei explained while opening a tablet to play a video,

"Their equipment iteration is faster than we imagined, already being applied in small-scale combats, so we hope you can capture a few alive, or at least leave a complete corpse, to gather intel and conduct tests, we may not be able to reverse-engineer it, but at least we should know our enemy."

Chen Xuantian and Duan Tie leaned forward to view, only to find it’s their testing video, two men in lab coats, wearing glasses, sneakers, jeans — the same engineers who had previously measured Chen Xuantian’s height, weight, and arm span.

The two looked like they were enacting a pantomime, one raised a vest, displayed it, then put it on over his lab coat, just like the kind fishermen often wear, with many pockets for holding bait, hooks, phones, etc.

The other pulled out a semi-automatic pistol that looked very much like a big black star, no, the design was unmistakably so, probably camouflaged this way due to its large local presence, specially modeled to blend in. The bullets in the magazine were obviously customized, shimmering with a bright silver glitter.

Then, you saw them standing ten meters apart, the man with the gun casually aimed at the man with the vest, covering his face with one hand and firing with the other, "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang," a burst emptied the magazine.

The vest man was unharmed.

Then there was a multi-angle replay.

Wang Wei smiled, "Not bad, right?"

Chen Xuantian, "Ohh... not bad, indeed..."

Duan Tie looked left, looked right,

"No, what am I looking at?"

Chen Xuantian pointed to the end of the test field, at an almost invisible target,

Wang Wei also switched the video to the high-speed camera view, only to see the eight bullets flying in an S pattern, bypassing the man in the vest, piercing through a target a hundred meters behind him with pinpoint accuracy through the same bullet hole.

"The pistol uses the Quantum Communication System for real-time network correction and adopts Fang Su Sixth Zeng’s shooting parameters, automatically correcting the trajectory, the bullets are also improved Quantum Navigation Flying Swords, capable of maneuvering for two trajectory changes, sixteen were urgently made, can ensure accuracy within a hundred meters, beyond three hundred meters requires visual navigation, this gun can fit various 7.62 mm cartridges, other firearms and ammunition are on board, choose whichever weapon suits you best."

Duan Tie asked,

"What’s the vest for?"

"A quantum signal amplifier, even if you fall unconscious or in shock, it can amplify the Quantum Chip signal, the flying sword will circle around, and shrapnel will deviate, like a magnetic field.

Wearing this, we can locate you anytime and maintain contact through quantum communication, and if you can get close to the target, we might even try to hack into their channel to listen in.

In the pockets are some survival items like maps, compasses, water purification tablets, and anti-inflammatory Medicine, of course, we will have a logistics team following, hopefully, you won’t need them."

Looks like they’re pretty well-prepared.

"Anything else you need? You can bring it up now. Once you’re in the combat zone, there’s no turning back."

Duan Tie asked,

"Can I have a sword?"

Wang Wei was curious,

"A sword? What kind of sword?"

Duan Tie said,

"Any sword will do, preferably not a dagger, longer, heavier, sharper. Also... uh, one that’s seen blood?"

Wang Wei made a call on his phone, and showed him a Kurkha knife, a practical chopping and hunting recurve knife.

"Chopped through people, four dead, seven injured, how’s that?"

"That’s perfect, that works."

Wang Wei looked at Chen Xuantian,

"And you?"

Chen Xuantian smiled wryly,

"Sword? Never mind, I’ve got a pen."

"That’s not a big issue, if you prefer using melee weapons, we can arrange customized ones for you.

First, pay attention to safety, there’s no need to engage in close combat unless absolutely necessary.

Second, try not to damage the precision devices, we need samples for reverse engineering."

"Got it." "Understood."

So a special vehicle took them straight to the airport, where they boarded a military transport plane that arrived just on time. This transport plane was practically an armory, and the cabin was empty, clearly an airborne fortress at their disposal.

They quickly changed their clothes, putting on the vest and taking the guns, dressed like a pair of backpacking hikers, then sat face-to-face waiting for express delivery, mission guaranteed...

Duan Tie asked, "Are you nervous?"

Chen Xuantian shrugged,

"It’s okay, first time is new, second time you’re used to it. What about you? Have you done this kind of... test mission before?"
