Chapter 209 - 142 Hunter
Chen Zhigang had just received the order and quickly assembled the Vanguard troops, before addressing them, "Soldiers are trained for years to be deployed in an instant, and now there’s a mission to be carried out. Therefore, I hope those capable will volunteer for combat."
Chen Zhigang didn’t specify the mission, but the crowd below was stirred with fervor, "We are willing to exert ourselves for our country and fight with our blood."
Listening to everyone’s passionate speeches, Chen Zhigang’s gaze swept over the squad leaders in the front row, then he spoke light-heartedly and cheerfully, "Now, each squad will choose one person to participate in the mission and get a chance for real combat experience."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t wait for Li Jing to speak and volunteered immediately, "Reporting to the company commander, Song Jingyi and I are willing to join the team and complete this reconnaissance mission."
Song Jingyi’s face darkened upon hearing this; she had no such willingness to undertake the mission.
Her physical fitness was limited, so she didn’t consider herself one of the elite soldiers of the company and thus didn’t dare to speak rashly.
After all, going on a mission was extremely dangerous, and she might even hinder her comrades-in-arms.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi interrupt, Li Jing looked displeased and said to Chen Zhigang, "Squad leader, I wish to participate in this mission. There’s no need to dispatch anyone else. The others are not strong enough. If we encounter the enemy, it will only be a fearless sacrifice."
Implicit within her words was the suggestion that Gu Xiaoxi and Song Jingyi were unqualified.
Gu Xiaoxi sneered and called out to Chen Zhigang in a loud voice, "I ranked first in the drills, if I am not qualified for the mission, then even less so are the others."
