Chapter 490 Drill the Troops
He used several common herbs, mixed them together and concocted an extremely poisonous venom!
He easily bent a small tree with a fishing line, fixing a poisoned scalpel blade on it!
With mud and fishing line, along with a cigarette, he created a timed explosive device!
A small twig coated with poison, hidden in dense grass, could pierce through an enemy’s feet!
...
A series of master-level trap-making techniques left everyone gaping in awe. Only when they saw what Lin Feng had arranged did they realize that the traps mentioned in the jungle warfare manuals were utterly misleading! Lin Feng’s unheard-of set-up methods for booby traps filled them with such admiration that they were practically prostrate with respect. They had never even dreamed of such silent and invisible methods of killing!
Everyone also carefully noted down all Lin Feng’s set-up methods. Such techniques were not something one could learn at any time. And now, they finally understood why Lin Feng had brought scalpel blades and fishing line when they departed—the scalpel blade made no sound as it flew, catching people completely off guard, and the transparent fishing line was virtually invisible in the dim jungle...
Most importantly, everyone noticed a critical aspect: Lin Feng’s grasp of human nature was simply otherworldly. He even anticipated when and where the enemy would arrive if they detected any traces, calculating the enemy’s potential hiding spots and then setting new traps there!
Every time they saw Lin Feng set up a new type of trap in a matter of seconds, the members of the squad couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. After being led by Lin Feng for several kilometers and setting up hundreds of various traps, everyone was drenched in sweat!
Now, every member of the Vanguard Squad looked at Lin Feng as if they had seen a ghost, hardly believing that these super master-level traps had been set up by a man in his twenties. How could he possibly know so many incredible life-threatening techniques? These weren’t just imagined out of thin air; they were definitely accumulated through genuine wartime experience. If every member of the Vanguard Squad mastered these techniques, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they could confidently slaughter a thousand, even several thousand people, with ease in the jungle...
"Instructor Lin, where did you learn all this?" Captain Xia Yong finally couldn’t hold back and asked Lin Feng directly, beyond shocked by what he saw, puzzled by how someone so young could know such unconventional things.
"Yeah! Instructor Lin, please tell us!"
"We all want to learn!"
"We..."
...
The rest of the Vanguard Squad couldn’t contain their excitement any longer. Hearing Captain Xia Yong speak, they all eagerly followed suit, expressing their astonishment. Coming to the Golden Triangle with Lin Feng, they had never dreamed of learning so many inconceivable things, which left them all overwhelmingly thrilled.
"It’s nothing, just something I saw online before, plus killing a few people and getting hold of some of their personal notes. I just browsed through them casually. Today is actually the first time I am trying these things out myself," Lin Feng said nonchalantly. Indeed, these were all things he had tried for the first time today—if not for these nine people with him, he wouldn’t have bothered with any of it.
"Who did you kill? To have such twisted personal notes..." Xia Yong was stunned upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, not because Lin Feng had killed—someone as abnormal as Lin Feng not having killed would indeed be odd—but wondering who Lin Feng had killed, as such extraordinary, inconceivable, and unconventional techniques could only come from someone with divine experience.
"I forgot who exactly, but they were mercenaries, assassins, and the like. Though, one of them seemed to call himself ’Green Ghost,’ I wonder if I remembered correctly," Lin Feng spoke calmly. Those people had caused him some trouble at first, but now they had joined the ranks of the dead under Lin Feng’s hand, with ’Green Ghost’ somehow still in his memory.
What Lin Feng didn’t know was that his words instantly sent the entire Vanguard Squad reeling! Everyone stood there petrified, some so shocked that they hadn’t even noticed their guns slipping from their grasp!
"Green... Green Ghost!"
"Oh my God!"
"Instructor Lin, you..."
...
The members of the vanguard squad could never have dreamed that the Green Ghost, hailed as the God of the Jungle, would die at the hands of Lin Feng. Back in the day, when this Green Ghost was in Europe, he was besieged by over a dozen French mercenary groups, and yet he single-handedly dragged them all to their deaths in the jungle. This incident had always been circulated like a mystery, and even special forces soldiers from all over the world wanted to know how the Green Ghost managed to achieve something so unbelievable!
But now... now this formidable Green Ghost was killed by Lin Feng, how... how could that be possible! Even though they now knew Lin Feng was a freak, they never imagined he would be freakish to this extent. He was truly defying the natural order. Compared to him, everyone else felt so disheartened that they wanted to die.
However, after the shock subsided, their conviction to follow Lin Feng strengthened even more. They believed that in their time with Lin Feng, they would definitely become stronger, much stronger!
"Stop daydreaming. If I’m not mistaken, a lot of people will be chasing after us. The stuff I’ve demonstrated earlier, you can use it at your discretion in the days to come. I won’t make a move anymore. It’s up to you guys to handle it." After saying that, Lin Feng walked in a certain direction, completely ignoring the vanguard squad members who were still in a daze.
"Everybody, ****** follow Instructor Lin!" Xia Yong was the first to snap out of it and yelled, closely following behind Lin Feng.
Hearing Xia Yong’s words, the other members of the vanguard squad also came to their senses. They quickly adjusted their gear and started to jog, catching up with Lin Feng and Xia Yong.
The members of the vanguard squad knew that from this moment on, their real training had just begun...
...
The reason Lin Feng brought these men to the Golden Triangle to assassinate Ruan Tiansheng was because he felt they were true soldiers with the blood of real soldiers—fighting to death for their country. He rather liked such people, and since they were the sharpest blades under his senior brother’s command, Lin Feng decided to help his senior brother sharpen these blades even further. That way, after their mission in the Golden Triangle was over, they could still bring back more elites. In doing so, he would also be doing his senior brother a big favor.
Lin Feng led the members of the vanguard squad through the jungle, where traps they had set up were everywhere. What pleased Lin Feng even more was that two of the men had even managed to creatively come up with more methods, immensely enhancing the already formidable traps with numerous additional danger factors, and Lin Feng was very satisfied with their learning outcomes.
He then successively taught them how to push their physical abilities to the limit, some lethal techniques of hand-to-hand combat, all the unconventional methods of wilderness survival, how to identify medicinal herbs for first aid...even how to concoct poisons. He explained each topic, substantially improving their overall skills. Now, their military quality had gone through a qualitative leap in a short time. Their skills in both killing and saving lives on the battlefield had reached unprecedented levels.
Putting aside physical fitness and combat skills—two areas that required long-term practice to improve—the squad had become walking encyclopedias of wartime knowledge. Now, in the jungle, they had absolute confidence that they could wear down all their pursuers!
Now, when the squad looked at Lin Feng, it was as if they were looking at the War God. Their eyes shone with limitless admiration. They did all sorts of unfathomable tasks in the jungle, abiding by Lin Feng’s directives. Many times, they worked until they passed out from exhaustion. But until the moment they lost consciousness, they were filled with smiles, for in their hearts, Lin Feng had become divine. They knew that by following his instructions, they would far surpass their former selves. This feeling made everyone utterly addicted!
And from the first day Lin Feng entered the jungle, he began to torment these excited, smile-filled, lovable soldiers...
...
But what Lin Feng didn’t know was his senior brother, Shang Yi, was extremely worried for those who had entered the tiger’s den.
"What exactly did my junior brother do with those nine kids?" Shang Yi muttered to himself, frowning as he looked at a special piece of intelligence that had just come from an inside source, causing him a headache.
The message was brief, just a few dozen words: "Golden Triangle, Ruan Tiansheng in turmoil, facing oppression from many sides, and all troops have been mobilized for assembly. Situation unclear. Be prepared for early action as a precaution."
Reading this message, Shang Yi could no longer stay calm because these few dozen words had been verified with multiple parties. Everything clearly spelled out one thing—that Ruan Tiansheng in the Golden Triangle was being cornered by various forces, in a state of furious danger. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gathered his troops together. It was obvious that this was a preparation to fight a decisive battle against someone. Ruan Tiansheng was now a raging tiger; anyone who touched his whiskers would undoubtedly get bitten to death.
What puzzled Shang Yi even more was who exactly had provoked Ruan Tiansheng, causing all forces—good, bad, and in-between—to set their sights firmly on him. Moreover, it was astonishing that not only were other drug lords in the Golden Triangle coveting Ruan Tiansheng’s position, but there were even reports from within the military. The air force had recently set their live-fire drills right over Ruan Tiansheng’s territory, and the artillery units were also conducting live-fire training during this period, targeting Ruan Tiansheng’s territory and bombarding it with dozens of shells every day...
