The Favored Son of Heaven Chapter 219

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

It was early in the morning when a series of an M60's roar broke the serenity of the Emperor Military Camp.

Immediately after, at a corner of the Emperor Military Camp, nine sleepy seasoned soldiers picked up their guns at the bedside at first notice and pointed them at the black figure carrying a gun.

Qin Fen lightly blew at the faint blow smoke wafting out of the muzzle. “Everyone, it's time to get up.”

Only at this time could the nine seasoned soldiers could clearly map out that the person standing at the door was none other than Major Qin of the formal Emperor Army.

Red Eyebrows raised his head as he looked at the clock hanging on the wall and subconsciously said, “It's only four in the morning.”

“I know.” Qin Fen, reloading the bullet belt to the M60, replied, “But the Federation's special forces would absolutely not kindly discuss with you about the time.”

Red Eyebrows and the others, after taking a glance at each other, jumped out of the bed without a word and changed their clothes as quickly as possible before walking out of the room.

Looking at the stopwatch hanging on his chest, Qin Fen nodded with a satisfied look. “Efficient, you almost passed.”

Almost passed? Red Eyebrow and the others wanted to attack right away, but when they remembered Qin Fen's almost invincible marksmanship from last night, they immediately lost their fire and shut their mouths.

In the Golden Triangle, those who had the ability had the final say.

To finish off a large number of police officers, take out special forces and forcefully kill their way through the encirclement into the Golden Triangle with a woman — this was not something any of the nine could do it.

Apart from other things, Red Eyebrows knew, in just the skill of shooting with one hand, he wasn't even fit to carry the shoes of the other party. Where would they find the guts to complain to Qin Fen about his unpunctuality?

The people who lived nearby were also awakened by these gunshots. A large number of people rushed out of their rooms with guns in their hands, only to see the nine soldiers lined up in a row, standing before the young major.

There were very few people with the rank of major in the Emperor Army, and only one who held the rank of major at such a young age. Everyone might not have personally seen Qin Fen but they had definitely heard of the martial artist tearing an eight-star mutated beast apart with his bare hands.

As Qin Fen looked about at the soldiers in the surroundings and then turned his gaze to the nine soldiers before him, the corner of his lips rose up into a slight self-deprecating smile. It's really hard to predict the future. Who would have thought that someone, who was just a new recruit in Federation not too long ago, would actually run to the Golden Triangle to train special forces for a drug lord?

“Now, take out your weapons and start running around the military camp, and you can't use any internal force.” Qin Fen, carrying a whole box of bullets on his back that was half a man's height and putting the M60 back in his hand, said, “If I see anyone using internal force, I will open fire. If you think that your movement techniques are faster than my bullets, you are welcome to use your internal force. I would also like to see how fast I can shoot.”

As Red Eyebrows and the others looked down the black muzzle, they shrunk their necks one after another. Even a child, if they were carrying a gun that could fire five hundred rounds per minute, could make them feel threatened. Besides, this gun was in the hands of a super shooter.

At this time, Lin Ling jumped out of the car and stood among the nine soldiers.

Qin Fen signaled with his eyes, and the seasoned soldiers picked up their weapons before turning around and running. They could feel that this young Major Qin would absolutely not show any mercy even when shooting at his own people.

And, as Qin Fen didn't mention what speed they should be running, these seasoned soldiers didn't dare to show any slight. They immediately moved their legs and started running at their fastest speed, for the fear of bullets coming from the long muzzle.

Qin Fen followed right behind the ten people. The self-deprecating smile on his face only grew only bigger. As the soldier of the Federation, training special forces for a drug lord was a really difficult job.

If he didn't train them seriously enough, it would definitely be seen as a problem. Soldiers who could survive in the Golden Triangle all year round were absolutely not some good-for-nothings! Not to mention Wang Hao. who had once worked in the Federation.

And if he trained them too seriously and taught them the skills of special forces, it would be tantamount to helping them grow hard wings. That was even more impossible.

For this training, Qin Fen had paid a lot of attention to the thoughts of how to balance this problem.

Eleven people, twenty-two legs, silently ran around the Emperor Military Camp. Some soldiers went back to sleep, while others were interested in watching this ancient spartan training.

Running at full speed without using an ounce of internal strength could not be compared with the usual exhaustion.

Not long after, these seasoned soldiers of the Golden Triangle whose combat force was usually good had some sweat oozing out of their foreheads.

Bang!

A bullet pierced through the early morning sky as Qin Fen, who was following the team at the end, said leisurely, “What's wrong? Tired so quickly? You are even worse than a woman!?”

As Red Eyebrows and the others looked sideways at Lin Ling, who had always been on the same line with them, their eyes flickered with surprise.

This silent and cold woman was breathing in a very normal manner. There wasn't any sweat on her forehead. And she was taking every step with ease.

After about ten minutes, the seasoned soldiers were all lying flat on the ground, gasping for breath. Their clothes were already drenched in sweat, making them look like nine drenched chickens.

Red Eyebrows wasn't in too much of a mood to see that indifferent expression of Lin Ling. He was paying more attention to Major Qin who had been keeping up with them from the beginning to the end, despite not using any internal force just like them.

More importantly, Major Qin alone, carrying an M60 in his hand and an entire box of bullets on his back, was still running around the military camp with that same speed.

He wasn't panting, nor was he sweating. He still looked so relaxed.

The eyes of Red Eyebrows and the other seasoned soldiers were raised higher in shock ever before.

“Huhu…is…is he a monster?”

“That box of bullets is not much lighter than a man.”

“I…I believed that…even if somewhat was using internal force…he wouldn't be able to outrun him.”

Listening to the exchanges of his several companions, Red Eyebrows just kept nodding. Is Young Major Qin some kind of a monster?

Lin Ling didn't continue to run, but no one doubted her ability to continue running.

Those who didn't sleep and were planning to watch the fun were all shocked silly by Qin Fen's own training.

On this day, Qin Fen's title of “Monster” quickly spread to everyone's ear in the Emperor Army. Even Wang Hao was no exception.

“What!? So fearsome!?” Wang Hao's eyes left the screen of the computer on the table as he raised his head and looked at Ming Kun next to him. “Has his marksmanship really reached such an incomprehensible level!?”

“Yes.” Ming Kun nodded and said, “During the day, when he was training the nine men, he had a special sniper that he had assembled himself in his hand. From time to time, he would pick it up and rapid fire at the Thunderbirds flying across the sky.”

“Did he hit them?”

Wang Hao put down the mouse and lightly rubbed his chin.

Thunderbirds…they too were a kind of mutated beasts. Only, these birds didn't seem to be as aggressive as the other mutated beasts. They were just a group of creatures who ate the insects that flew around in the air.

The reason why they were called Thunderbird was because of their extremely fast speed. They were far faster than falcons. At their full speed, they were as fast as a lightning bolt. That was the only reason they were called Thunderbird.

These birds were vigilant, smart, and careful. They would seldom be hit or caught. Nowadays, they could be seen in almost every city.

“A hundred percent isn't enough to describe it.” Ming Kun continued with a gloomy look on his faces, “He fired sixteen times and killed nineteen Thunderbirds. It seems he is still testing out the gun's performance. When he has completely mastered the gun's capability…”

“Good!” Wang Hao grabbed the mouse with excitement as he kept on knocking on the table. “It's really good! Perhaps a sniper of this level isn't enough to take out the president, who is surrounded by experts, but it's more than enough to take out Wu Lianda!”

“General…” Shock was clearly written on Ming Kun's face. “Are you planning to make war with Wu Lianda now?”

“Do you know, when I called him today to ask for powder, he actually said that a ton of flour would only cost two thousand or three thousand bucks, so, he would just convert it into cash and give it to me.”

Wang Hao did not answer Ming Kun's question, but his eyes bloomed with a rare terrifying cold gleam as an intense bloodlust flooded every corner of the room.

Ming Kun, who has almost forgotten about the life and death principle for a long time, had chills running down his spine when he saw this kind of gleam. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Flour?”

“Yes, flour.” Wang Hao's eyes were filled with a rare grim, cold smile. “He thinks I, Wang Hao am a fool? If I swallow this provocation, will there be any room for us to stand here?”

Ming Kun's spirit rose. All the muscles in his body contracted as he shouted, “War! We go to war with them!”

“Yes, we can only fight.” Wang Hao's index finger lightly clicked the mouse. “Originally, I was still thinking about how to kill Wu Lianda and how to deal with the problem after killing him. Now, it's all solved.”

“General, you want Qin Fen to…?” Ming Kun's eyes shone up brightly as he said, “A genius like Major Qin is really hard to come by.”

“He is not a genius.” Wang Hao repeatedly shook his finger. “This man's talent had already surpassed the scope of genius. I don't know whether he is a genius or not, all I know is if we keep him and let him grow in the Golden Triangle, he will surely become a lord of a region. The Golden Triangle has been in chaos for a long time and it's time for an expert to appear and truly unify the whole place. But I don't wish for this expert to be Qin Fen. This expert should be me, Wang Hao!”

An eagle-like sharp glare burst out from Wang Hao's eyes.

Ming Kun secretly heaved a sigh and did not continue to persuade Wang Hao. However, he secretly prayed from his heart that the plan against Qin Fen would be a success, otherwise, if he was allowed to react and plot against them, it would spell no small amount of trouble.

The next morning, at 4:30 AM…

A hand grenade suddenly exploded inside the room of nine seasoned soldiers. Fortunately, the room was still strong and did not collapse. However, the seasoned soldiers, who had managed to escape from it, looked at Qin Fen, at a loss what to do.

Had the bloodlust before the hand grenade was tossed not awaken them, they might have truly died from the hand grenade ambush.

In their mind, Qin Fen's sentence from yesterday's training flashed once again. “My training is no different than life and death. So, there aren't any tricks, it's pure combat through and through. It's either live or die.”

Just yesterday, everyone still believed that this remark was a little exaggerated and there was some falsehood in it. But today's grenade attack made everyone completely give up the fantasy of any false elements.

“Very good! Pick up your guns and start running.”

Qin Fen didn't even lift his eyes but the soldiers who had rushed out of other rooms were left completely dumbfounded. A new day training began.

After the second-day training was over…

Qin Fen's reputation as a “monster” resounded even louder. He threw a grenade in the morning without even considering what the consequences would be if his men couldn't manage to rush out in advance.

On the third morning, the doors and windows of the house were reinforced with a new steel fence, completely blocking the passage out of the room.

Some busybody stayed up all night, hoping to see what new thing Major Qin, the Monster, was planning to do next. This time he saw Qin Fen carrying two barrels of gasoline, dousing the entire house, and lighting it up.

When the nine seasoned soldiers broke through the wall for air, the busybody had a nightmare for several days. How this is training? This is complete torture! Had the seasoned soldiers' strength and reaction not good enough, they would have really been turned to charred corpses.

On the fourth morning, a dozen tear gas canisters were suddenly tossed into the room. This time, the seasoned soldiers were quick enough to respond and quickly rushed out of the room one after another.

But the moment they rushed out of the room, they discovered that dozens of meters outside the door were all surrounded by smoke bombs.

Before the nine people could adapt to the smoke, they heard shouts coming from all around them as iron sticks, wooden sticks, and even baseball bats and shovels greeted them from all sides.

Today, Qin Fen had borrowed fifty soldiers from Ming Kun, gave them gas masks for them to wear and equipped them with certain weapons to carry out sneak attacks.

When the smoke dissipated, Qin Fen's nine subordinates were all lying on the ground flat. Each and every one of them was groaning constantly, their faces black and blue.

On the fifth morning, tear gas, smoke bombs and fifty enemies armed with iron weapons were added to the burning house.

On the sixth morning, it was a burning house along with tear gas, smoke bombs, and various traps laid across the area covered in smoke, while fifty enemies waited outside the smoke with an excited look on their faces.

The seventh day, the eighth day, ninth day…

At the end of every day, Qin Fen's title of Monster would resound even louder in the Emperor Army. At the same time, everyone was wondering whether his nine men were the reincarnations of cockroaches or not. To their surprise, even after the nine days of hellish training he put them through, they were still alive and well.

In addition to marveling Qin Fen's men, everyone was even more shocked by Qin Fen's strength. Many people would go and watch Qin Fen's training when they were idle.

This major wasn't someone who would stand by and direct others' training just by his mouth. Except for the brutal wake-up calls in the morning, he didn't spend time with his men. At other times, he trained together with his ten men.

Every time his nine men were too exhausted to the point where they had to be carried back by others, Qin Fen would continue to practice like nothing, just like a training machine.

Once, someone tried to train alongside him, but before the morning training was even over, he was so tired that he couldn't get back up.

When that man went to ask Qin Fen's men how did they keep on going, he finally got the reason why the other party could persevere while he could not.

“If we can't do it, he will shoot and kill us! Either we finish the training or we die! Our training every day is like a real war. We can only fight in order to survive.”

While Qin Fen's training in the Emperor Army was in full swing, the outside was in constant friction every day. Local small-scale sneak attacks were happening several times a day.

Recently, street fights had been taking place among the small teams.

On the tenth day's morning, Qin Fen appeared in Wang Hao's office.

As a major, his status was high enough to see Wang Hao anytime except for a special time.

“Major Qin?” Wang Hao's eyes left the map. “What can I do for you?”

“I heard that there are street fights or jungle fights taking place among the small teams?”

“Yes.”

“I want to take my team and participate in the battle.” After getting the answer from the other party, Qin Fen asked in a very straightforward manner, “Without any combat training, you can only train a foolish team that only knows how to march.”

“Participate in the battle?” Wang Hao interlaced his fingers as he used his chin to point at the ten men behind Qin Fen. “I heard that your training had been going pretty good, but if you take them to the battlefield now, wouldn't it be too early?”

“It's not early.” Qin Fen looked back as he looked at the men he brought with him. “I want to eliminate a few unqualified ones through combat. At that time, if my squad is lacking strength, General will supplement for me again.”

When Qin Fen's eyes swept a gaze across the nine seasoned soldiers, they all suddenly felt chills run down their bodies. After his words entered their ears, everyone's body severely trembled as bloodlust bloomed in their eyes at the same time.

Ming Kun, who had personally selected and planted these people, was shocked to see the current state of these nine people. He knew the details and the strengths of these people the best.

After having been trained for less than a fortnight, along with their pure strength, the improvement in their essence, energy, and spirit were totally different from the past as well.

From their bodies, Ming Kun could almost feel the kind of aura that he had felt when he was facing the Federation's special forces.

“Report!” A second lieutenant, who still had the smell of smoke lingering around him, stood in front of the door with a respectful salute.

Wang Hao sifted his attention from Qin Fen to this newly arrived second lieutenant. “What is it?”

“Last night, a small shipment of Wu Lianda was attacked.” The second lieutenant took out a notebook and read from it. “The opposite party's shipment was completely destroyed. In the skirmish, Private First Class Chen Feiyu killed the opposite party's second lieutenant and three other soldiers. Wu Cilin killed…”

Private first class!? Hearing Chen Feiyu's rank, Qin Fen also smiled faintly. In the few days he hadn't seen Chen Feiyu, he already was no longer a private second class.

“Very good.” Wang Hao, having listened to the other party's report, said, “According to the rules, Chen Feiyu should be promoted to a higher rank.”

“Yes!” the second lieutenant left the room.

Wang Hao focused his attention on Qin Fen, once more. “Major Qin, as you have heard, last night we destroyed our enemy's deal that was taking place. I believe Wu Lianda will be violently jumping like lightning, he might send his elites to take revenge on us. I'm afraid, going out now…”

“Playing a miscellaneous card is not in line with my elimination concept,” Qin Fen said, with no change in his expression whatsoever. “If he doesn't send his elites, I was also planning on ambushing some of his production bases.”

Wang Hao's spine couldn't help but straighten up as his pair of eyes looked Qin Fen up and down constantly.

Production base!? Their importance wasn't any inferior to the army's headquarters. Not only was it heavily guarded, but elite soldiers were also posted there. At the same time, there were many heavy weapons as well.

A dozen people ambushing the production base!? This kind of elimination process could only be described as suicide, it wasn't training at all!

“General.” At this time, Red Eyebrows, carrying his gun, stepped forward. “We also want to know who could eliminate us, who have been trained to near death every day by Major Qin.”

“General!”

Other eight seasoned soldiers also looked to Wang Hao with an extremely fervent gaze. Qin Fen's idea of the elimination process had provoked their inner battle intent.

Wang Hao, looking at Qin Fen along with Red Eyebrows and the others, gradually nodded. “Alright, I guess I also wanted to see the results of Major Qin's training…”

At this time, a phone call interrupted Wang Hao's speech as a projected image floated on the desktop. “General! Requesting backup. We are surrounded. The enemy leader seems to be the Black Panther – Wu Henfeng!”

“Black Panther – Wu Henfeng!?” Wang Hao's eyes flickered with surprise. “Black Panther – Wu Henfeng is one of Wu Lianda's retinues! He's letting you get on the phone, which means that he is deliberately trying not to fight. I think he has already made preparations and waiting for us to hastily come to your rescue. He is planning to have a big go at us, right?”

“General!” Red Eyebrows stepped forward once more. “Let us go!”

“You?” Wang Hao smiled. “Alright. But there's a premise that none of you die. Especially Major Qin, you have to come back alive.”

Ming Kun threw an electronic map at Qin Fen. “The red dot on it is the place our team is surrounded. You don't need to storm the enemy, we will send people before you.”

Qin Fen lowered his head, looking at the electronic map. Most of it is a jungle. If we use eleven Jungle Ranger mobile armors to launch a sudden attack, we can destroy the other part!?

Eleven Jungle Rangers? Qin Fen pursed his lips. This figure made him dismiss the idea immediately.

Mobile armors weren't bigger in size, it was just that they quite costly. Only a two-meter-high Jungle Ranger…this high-tech integrated suit cost much more than many large mobile armors.

In the entire Emperor Army's arsenal, there were only two Jungle Rangers. They were only sufficient to perform assault missions and provide a deterrent. But if one really wanted to use them to take out the enemy this time, they were insufficient.

Wang Hao looked at Qin Fen. “What do you need?”

Qin Fen answered, pointed at the map, “Looking at the situation, I will need to add a new weapon.”

“Ming Kun, give him a warrant.” Wang Hao said in a very straightforward manner. “You must come back alive.”

Qin Fen, having given a military salute, turned around and left the room. Wang Hao, looking at this departing back, calmly said, “You can't die now, you can't die before killing Wu Lianda. Ming Kun, you personally lead a team and follow them. If they are in danger, immediately bring them back, forcefully if you must.”

Ming Kun silently left the room and Wang Hao transferred his gaze back to the map. “I thought that small frictions would take a long time to make Wu Lianda angry. But it seems that bigger friction will appear very soon. At that time, the honorary presidential special envoy should be back again, right? When he comes, it will be Wu Lianda's time to die and this province to be mine.”

Having arrived at the armory, even before Qin Fen took out the warrant, that armorer already had the intention to open the door for him. And when he saw the warrant, he opened the doors at first notice.

Qin Fen made his way into the armory and without the slightest bit of wandering around, rushed straight to the corner of a shelf where, according to his memories, had the things he needed.

When he walked out of the room, the armorer seemed to have already done mental preparation. Yet when he saw the weapon in his hand, he jumped back with fright.

QLZ-04 grenade launcher! A grenade launcher with the weapon length of one thousand and twenty-six millimeters, theoretical rate of fire of over three hundred and fifty rounds per minute, an effective range of one thousand seven hundred and fifty meters, the total weight of twenty-four kilograms, and a full ammo cache weight of twelve kilograms.

Just two of these weighed some seventy pounds already! Even a weapon of this call looked like an individual weapon in his hand.

Red Eyebrows and the others secretly called him Monster for him to run to the armory only to take this kind of grenade launcher, which was very inconvenient to carry.

At this time, Ming Kun had also prepared two Hummers for Qin Fen. Qin Fen, getting on the Hummer carrying QLZ-04, waved his hand. “Let's go!”

The eyes of Red Eyebrows and the others bloomed with unprecedented excitement at this moment. Each and every one of them was grinning with bloodlust as they muttered, “We are the soldiers who crawled their way out from Hell. Today is the time for us tigers to be unleashed.”
