I returned to my hometown adorned with military medals, and the whole city erupted in celebration.

Chapter 16: Fan Tiankeng's Self-Doubt: This is definitely not Li Erniu!

"Erniu?! What's he doing there? And he's carrying an 88 sniper rifle?"

Wang Yanbing rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief. "Shouldn't he be chopping cabbages in the kitchen?"

He Chenguang was also stunned. He looked at the figure in the distance who was rapidly pulling the bolt of his gun. The extremely standard and experienced shooting posture was even more ruthless than his own as a sniper genius.

"No, that wasn't an ordinary shot."

He Chenguang stared intently at the hilltop. "That's suppressive blind sniping. He didn't even glance at the scope, just kept picking off targets while moving at high speed. That marksmanship... he was definitely faking it in recruit training!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three more crisp gunshots rang out.

The Wolf Fang Fourth Squad, which had originally formed a fan shape to surround the enemy, had three members killed in just three seconds.

Because Li Erniu occupied an absolute high ground, coupled with his inexplicable camouflage that seemed to blend into the color of the stone, the Wolf Fang special forces were unable to find a point of counterattack for a while.

"Concealed! Suppressive fire from elite snipers!"

The leader of the fourth squad of Wolf Fang roared in frustration. He never expected that his group of professional snipers would be pinned down by a "cook" and unable to lift his head.

"Ding! Extreme shock from Gong Jian, shock value +1000!"

"Extremely shocked by Conley, shock value +1000!"

"The collective bewilderment and shock from the fourth squad of Wolf Fang has reached +2000!"

Li Erniu sat on the ridge, listening to the rapid-fire system notifications in his mind, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

"Wow, these points are accumulating faster than water is being released from a dam! Little Gong, am I qualified to be your third uncle?"

Li Erniu patted the sniper rifle in his arms.

Actually, he didn't use the scope just now because he had activated the "Individual Radar Scan".

In the 3D projection in his mind, the special forces soldiers hiding behind the bunkers were as clear as lice on a bald man's head.

"Commander! Don't just stand there! Retreat!"

Li Erniu shouted down to the crowd, his voice booming like a bell.

Kang Lei finally snapped out of his daze, and looking at the imposing figure on the hilltop, his previously gloomy face broke into a look of wild joy: "Good lad! The Fourth Sharpshooter Company is indeed full of hidden talents! Gong Jian, you've trained excellent soldiers!"

Gong Jian smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "Commander, this really wasn't trained by me. This is my 'ancestor' descended to earth!"

"Retreat! Move towards reserve point number three!" Gong Jian waved his hand.

……

Blue Team Command Post.

Fan Tianlei stared at the live feed on the big screen, his breathing becoming unusually heavy.

In the video, the figure carrying the iron pot is facing away from the camera. Although his face is not visible, the iconic pot is the biggest mockery of him, the "number five".

"Who is this? Who is the person carrying the blame?!"

Fan Tianlei pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling.

"Report to number five, after comparing the database, that's Private Li Erniu from the cookhouse of the Red Army's Fourth Company..." a technical officer replied cautiously.

"Li Erniu?!"

Fan Tianlei jumped up abruptly, "You're talking nonsense! I tricked Li Erniu out of the construction site. Besides being stronger and a better cook, he's slower than everyone else at disassembling rifles! He can suppress my special forces team with a sniper rifle? He can do acrobatics on a 90-degree cliff?!"

"Number Five, but the fact is... he is Li Erniu. Moreover, the fourth group just reported that not only is his marksmanship superb, but his hand-to-hand combat skills are also extremely bizarre; he even used sweet potatoes as bombs..."

Fan Tianlei slumped into a chair, his eyes glazed over.

He felt that his "judgment of people," which he had been so proud of all his life, had been completely overturned.

Could it be that Li Erniu has been putting on an act since the first day he joined the company?

Or is it that Fan Tianlei was the real "sinkhole," deceived for half a year by an honest peasant soldier?

"On the fifth, Captain Chen has led his team to the outskirts of Luanshigang. He has requested permission to launch a full-scale assault."

A ruthless glint flashed in Fan Tianlei's eyes.

He didn't believe it; he didn't believe that Li Erniu could turn the world upside down on his own.

"Chen Shanming! Take two squads and charge head-on! I don't care if he's Li Erniu or Li Jinniu, I want to see him captured alive! Also, stop using conventional tactics, that kid doesn't fall for them. Use stun grenades and chemical smoke directly, I want him rolling down that hill!"

"yes!"

……

Rocky hills, the exit of the valley.

Li Erniu, carrying a pot on his back and a sniper rifle in his hand, was preparing to retreat.

Suddenly, his ears twitched.

[Ding! Warning! Individual radar has detected a large number of high-energy reactions within a 100-meter radius, indicating that twenty elite special operations personnel are rapidly encircling them. Leader: Chen Shanming.]

"Oh, Chen Shanming is here?"

Instead of running away, Li Erniu took the iron pot off his back and slammed it on the ground.

"System, redeem [Basic Crisis Warning]!"

[Ding! Redemption successful.]

In an instant, Li Erniu felt as if the flow of time around him had slowed down.

Every gust of wind, every sway of grass, was full of information in his eyes.

"Erniu! Why aren't you leaving yet?"

He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, who hadn't run far, turned back and shouted from behind a rock.

"Chenguang, Yanbing, you escort the commander away! Leave this to me!"

Li Erniu didn't even turn his head.

"You're all alone? There are more than twenty of them!" Wang Yanbing exclaimed anxiously.

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys go first."

Li Erniu waved his hand, "If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Gong Jian also ran over, looking at Li Erniu with a complicated expression.

"Erniu... be careful. If you get caught, I... I'll go back and write you a commendation letter."

"What documents do you need to write? Just have Guifang send two jin of local specialties from your hometown to your third uncle later."

Li Erniu chuckled, "Let's retreat!"

Gong Jian's face twitched, thinking to himself, "Even now, he's still trying to take advantage of me."

But he knew that the current Li Erniu was no longer someone he could understand.

"retreat!"

Just as Kang Lei and his group disappeared into the depths of the forest, Chen Shanming's special forces team sneaked up on them.

"Attention, target spotted! He's sitting behind that pot!"

One of the team members shouted.

Chen Shanming cautiously made a hand gesture.

He didn't rush to charge.

With the lessons learned from the Ninth and Fifth Groups, he dared not be careless.

"Li Erniu!"

Chen Shanming, hiding behind a tree, shouted, "Stop hiding! There are over twenty of us. You're out of bullets, aren't you? Come out and surrender. Number Five said that if you surrender, he'll make you the head chef at Wolf Fang!"

"Become the head chef? That's a demotion!"

Li Erniu's voice drifted from behind the pot, "Captain Chen, you brought so many people to arrest a cook like me? Is that old fox Fan Tianlei about to have a heart attack?"

Chen Shanming was speechless.

"Li Erniu, you've truly been hiding your true strength; even Number Five was fooled by you. But today, you can't escape. Firing! Bombshell!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two stun grenades traced arcs and landed precisely around Li Erniu.

"Close your eyes!" Chen Shanming shouted.

"Boom! Boom!"

A blinding flash and a deafening roar instantly engulfed the small hill.

Taking advantage of the flashing light, Chen Shanming led his men down the mountain like tigers, charging madly upwards.

"Take it down!"

However, when they rushed to the large black pot, everyone froze in shock once again.

The pot is still the same pot.

But there was no one under the pot.

"There he is! He stole our SUV!"

The stray dog ​​suddenly pointed to the road a hundred meters away.

Li Erniu had somehow managed to get behind Wolf Fang and was now sitting casually in the driver's seat of Chen Shanming's SUV.

[All-Round Special Driving] Activated!

"Captain Chen, this truck has great horsepower! I'm taking it to haul grain! See you later!"

Li Erniu floored the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle roared like a wild beast. Right under the noses of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, it performed an extremely stylish drift in place, then disappeared into the end of the mountain road amidst billowing smoke.

"Captain... the car, he stole the car." A team member muttered.

Enraged, Chen Shanming slammed his helmet to the ground and roared into his headset:

"Number Five! Number Five! Stop arresting Kang Lei! Block all roads leading out of the mountains! That Li Erniu... he drove off in my car!"

Inside the command center, Fan Tianlei listened to the roaring voice in his earpiece.

This time, he wasn't angry.

He stared blankly at the screen.

After a long pause, he revealed a smile that was more like a grimace:

"Li Erniu...you little brat, just what kind of deity are you?"
