Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Changing Vehicles

For a man, feelings are never just spoken; they are more often kept in the heart.

After packing his things, Lin Mu gave a salute to his dormitory.

After taking a careful look at the dormitory where he had lived for a while, he turned and walked out of the room, heading downstairs.

Coming downstairs, he saw that Company Commander Miao was already waiting. He quickly walked to the queue and stood at attention.

As time passed, the group going to the Wolf Fang Training Camp had finished gathering and stood before Company Commander Miao, waiting for the final briefing.

"Company Commander, the members of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company participating in the training camp have assembled. Please give your instructions."

"At ease!"

After giving the command, Old Cannon returned to the queue and looked at Company Commander Miao.

"comrades, at ease."

"The annual Military Region Special Forces training camp selection is about to begin. These ten comrades before me will represent our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company in even more brutal training and selection. Being a Special Forces Soldier is the supreme honor for us Scouts."

"comrades, the honor of the Special Forces is waiting for you, and an even tougher military career is waiting for you."

"I wish you a safe journey!"

The moment he finished speaking, Company Commander Miao saluted the ten men standing at the front.

After lowering his hand, Company Commander Miao said directly, "Depart!"

"Yes, sir!"

Once the order to depart was given, Old Cannon, who was at the front of the line, stepped out and gave the command.

"Right face! Left-back turn, double time, march!" After giving the command, Old Cannon ran straight ahead.

Everyone else, including Lin Mu, followed Old Cannon. Only Zhuang Yan stepped out of the line to chat with Company Commander Miao for a few moments.

Zhuang Yan didn't stay long either. After saying what he needed to say, he arrived at the transport truck.

"Half-arm interval, left face!"

"Salute!"

"Ready, front!"

After everyone lowered their arms, Company Commander Miao looked at Lin Mu and the others and shouted loudly, "Reconnaissance Company!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Once everyone was on the truck, Old Cannon's voice rang out: "Everyone take one last look. I hope this is the last look!"

Although these people all had feelings for the Reconnaissance Company, no one wanted to return here again. After all, no one wanted to be the one who was eliminated and sent back.

Hearing Old Cannon's words, everyone, including Lin Mu, looked at the flag of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, the company headquarters, Company Commander Miao, Platoon Leader Chen, and their comrades.

*Thud, thud, thud!*

"Depart!"

As Old Cannon pounded his fist against the truck several times, the driver in front received the order, started the vehicle, and slowly left the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

Since they were on the way to the Wolf Fang Training Camp, the atmosphere in the truck was a bit strange.

Lin Mu saw some who were excited, some nervous, some expectant, and some uneasy.

Lin Mu glanced at Old Cannon and said, "I'll tell you guys something now. Based on the news I heard from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Soldiers during the exercise, the Wolf Fang selection and training camp starts with a 'Show of Authority' at the beginning."

"Although I don't know exactly what it is, one thing is certain: you must stay alert. After getting off the truck, use all your skills."

"If they start catching people, make sure you're the last one caught."

"Everyone, remember Lin Mu's words. I don't want any of you to be sent back just after leaving the camp, understand?" Old Cannon followed up on Lin Mu's words.

"Understood!" everyone replied.

Although Lin Mu knew what the Show of Authority was, he wouldn't tell them.

If he told them, but Wolf Fang didn't follow the plot of the original show...

Not to mention whether these people would resent him, even Company Commander Miao would likely beat him to death.

"By the way, once we get to Wolf Fang, I don't care how you run, but don't stay near me." Lin Mu looked at everyone solemnly.

"Why? You're so strong; staying by your side should be the safest, right?" Happy Baby asked, puzzled.

"Are you stupid? Lin Mu wiped out the Wolf Fang members who were hunting him during the exercise and even took down the Blue Force Command Headquarters. Do you think they won't give him a hard time under these circumstances?"

Before Lin Mu could speak, Old Cannon, who was sitting next to him, answered Happy Baby's question. After hearing Old Cannon's words, Happy Baby nodded in understanding.

"But... if that's the case, shouldn't we stay by Lin Mu's side even more?" Happy Baby scratched his head.

"Happy Baby, you have to remember that Lin Mu doesn't need our help at all. If we do that, we'll only be a burden to him and might even drag him down."

Zhuang Yan's words were met with agreement. After all, Lin Mu didn't need their help at all; in fact, they might be the ones needing Lin Mu's help!

Seeing everyone starting to chat quietly with the comrades next to them, Lin Mu smiled and leaned against the truck, closing his eyes.

To others, it looked like Lin Mu was asleep, but in reality, he was talking to his system.

Because the Genetic Modification Liquid he got from the morning's Scout lottery hadn't been used yet, he wanted to use it now while he had time. If he waited until they reached the Wolf Fang Training Camp site, there wouldn't be any time left.

"System, I want to use the Rapid Environmental Adaptation Modification Liquid."

"Using it for you now, please wait," the system said.

At first, he didn't feel much, just a bit of heat throughout his body. In the next moment, Lin Mu changed his mind because a tide of pain caused him to lose the ability to think.

"Ugh..."

Instantly, under the impact of the Rapid Environmental Adaptation Liquid, Lin Mu's body lost all sensation almost immediately.

He couldn't do anything except breathe and blink.

After ten minutes, Lin Mu's body gradually regained sensation.

Before fully recovering, Lin Mu almost roared, "Why did using the Rapid Environmental Adaptation Liquid hurt so much this time? And you didn't even give me a warning!"

In truth, Lin Mu couldn't be blamed for questioning the system so angrily.

He could guarantee that after experiencing the pain brought by this Rapid Environmental Adaptation Liquid, even if the Wolf Fang assessment involved the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, he wouldn't make a sound.

"Host, the last time was a pure physical modification. This time, it's changing information in your genes and cells, so the two cannot be compared," the system said.

"However, Host, rest assured. Because it's the first time, it hurts this much; it won't be like this next time," the system added.

Lin Mu: "..."

"All training camp members, get off the truck and change vehicles!"

After several hours of driving, just as the truck Lin Mu and the others were in stopped, a voice rang out from outside.

Happy Baby and the others looked nervous. After all, they remembered the Show of Authority Lin Mu had just mentioned.

So, hearing these words, they thought this was the start of the Show of Authority.

"Don't be nervous; they're just having us change vehicles," Lin Mu consoled Happy Baby, seeing his nervous face
