Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Exercise Concluded

How did you get in?" the Brigade Commander asked, giving up resistance after seeing himself'sacrificed'.

"We walked in fair and square, of course," Lin Mu replied.

The Brigade Commander clearly had a look of disbelief on his face; the outside of the tent was fully guarded by his Missile Brigade Soldiers.

"Commander, all your subordinates outside have been eliminated by us and are currently playing dead," Lin Mu explained, seeing his expression.

The Brigade Commander's face darkened, and he sat down on the chair without saying a word.

Seeing that the Brigade Commander stopped talking, Lin Mu signaled Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby to start looking for what they wanted.

Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby nodded, took out Tactical Flashlights, covered them with their hands, and began searching the tent.

The Brigade Commander, sitting on the bed, watched the three of them searching for something, and a terrifying thought involuntarily arose in his mind: "They aren't looking for the computer that controls the missiles, are they?"

"Don't waste your energy. Even if you find it, it's useless. You can't get in without the command codes," the Brigade Commander said.

"Found it! Lin Mu, come take a look," Zhuang Yan whispered.

"The Brigade Commander doesn't need to worry about that. I'll give the Brigade Commander two pieces of information for free."

"First, I studied three subjects in college: Information Technology, Network Security, and Software Engineering. I ranked first in every one."

"Second, I followed my supervisor and developed quite a few systems for your military. This is one of the works my supervisor and I created."

After checking the relevant systems on the computer, Lin Mu pointed at the computer on the desk, looked at the Brigade Commander, and said with a smile.

The Brigade Commander felt a buzzing sound in his head, followed by a rush of golden stars before his eyes, and he muttered.

"It's over! Everything is over!"

At six o'clock the next morning, Lin Mu, who was already awake, kicked Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby to signal them to get up quickly.

"Time to work." Lin Mu woke up Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby and took out the computer.

He took a look at the Blue Army Troop Deployment Map that Happy Baby had found last night, and his hands began operating the keyboard rapidly.

Zhuang Yan stood behind Lin Mu and saw lines of complex code appear on the computer screen.

About ten minutes later, Lin Mu hit the Enter key, and the screen displayed an equal number of blue and green dots of light.

Red lines connected the two types of light dots.

"What do these dots of light mean?" Happy Baby asked curiously.

"The blue ones are the Blue Army troop distribution, and the green ones are the missiles," Lin Mu said without lifting his head.

He then typed away on the computer again, finally hitting the Enter key hard.

"Let's go. Our mission is complete." Lin Mu put down the computer, slung on his backpack, grabbed his weapon, and darted out of the tent.

Following Lin Mu's reminder, Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby closely followed behind him.

They didn't stop until they reached a small stream. Lin Mu took out the pre-mixed Potion from his bag and handed it to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Hurry up and use this to wash off your makeup."

Zhuang Yan grabbed it, poured some into his palm, and handed it to Happy Baby beside him, saying, "If we had known this, we wouldn't have put on makeup."

"I only suddenly thought of this plan after finishing the makeup. Besides, the makeup was already set, and it was too late to wash it off," Lin Mu said helplessly.

After finishing the makeup for Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby last night, Lin Mu suddenly remembered the plot in *Special One* where the Medic and the Pilot wiped out the Eagle Division at night.

Combining that with the situation the three of them were in, they decided to go all out and simply imitate the original plot.

Honestly, Lin Mu's move was incredibly risky.

A large part of the success of the Throat-Slitting Operation was pure luck.

If even one Soldier had woken up during the operation, they would have been immediately eliminated from the exercise.

Fortunately, those who woke up were already eliminated Soldiers.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan and Happy Baby had finished washing up, Lin Mu stood up from the ground and said, "Let's go. We can head back now."

"Lin Mu, aren't you afraid someone will crack your program?" Zhuang Yan asked on the way back.

"There's no time for that immediately. If they touch the computer and can't crack it within five minutes, they can only watch helplessly as the missiles launch," Lin Mu said calmly.

"Secondly, I set up many traps in that program. The final result is still that they can only watch helplessly as the missiles launch."

"Company Commander Miao will be ecstatic if he finds out we managed to end the exercise on the second day," Zhuang Yan said.

"Do you think the Private rank on our shoulders will be changed?" Happy Baby asked.

"It will definitely be changed," Zhuang Yan said.

"When that happens, I'll take a picture and send it to my mother," Happy Baby said excitedly.

While Lin Mu and the other two were on their way back to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company garrison, the Blue Army was already in chaos.

Blue Force Command Headquarters

"Look over this deployment. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

"I think the defense of the Missile Brigade must be strengthened. After all, this is our ultimate weapon. Why don't we let the Wolf Fang people..." said a Colonel.

"Hmm, you have a point. Go tell He Zhijun to send people... What was that sound?" he asked, frowning.

"I'll go check." The Colonel was stopped just as he finished speaking.

"No need to go. That sharp whistling sound is coming from a missile."

"Did the Red Army use missiles to attack us?" the Colonel asked doubtfully. "But how did they know we were here?"

"Regardless of how they knew, this exercise is over. Staff Officer Li, go find out what happened."

"Report."

"Speak."

"The Wolf Fang Command Headquarters has called to report that they were attacked by missiles," the Radio Operator said.

"Report."

"Speak."

"The Electronic Countermeasure Regiment, Tank Brigade, Artillery Brigade, and Airborne Division have all called to report that they were attacked by missiles."

"Are there any telegrams from the Missile Brigade?"

"No, they haven't sent any telegrams yet," the Radio Operator confirmed.

"Call them and ask what's going on. Are their air defense systems just for show?"

"I suddenly have a bad feeling," Staff Officer Li, standing nearby, said.

"Tell me."

"If it really was the Red Army launching the missiles, the Missile Brigade would be one of the key targets. They should have sent a telegram to our Command Headquarters just like the other units."

"But since we haven't received a telegram from the Missile Brigade, there's only one possibility: the missile just now was launched by our own Missile Brigade," Staff Officer Li stated.

"Report, the Missile Brigade has replied," the Radio Operator said.

"Read it," Staff Officer Li said.

"Our unit was 'throat-slit' by three Privates last night. Control of the missile system was seized by a Private named Lin Mu, who claimed that the missile control system we used was his work."

After the Radio Operator finished reading the contents of the telegram, the entire tent fell into a silence so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"I want the file on this Soldier. Also, call Liu Qingshan here. I want to ask him how he managed to have three New Recruit Companies wiped out by one Brigade."

he said, slamming his hand down on the table
