Wang Tong walked into the encirclement of the Zergs while the rest of the squad followed behind him. Immediately, five Sickle Zergs leaped into the air and swung their giant scythes at Wang Tong.
Wang Tong held the long blade in his hand motionlessly. The rest of the squad thought Wang Tong was scared out of his wits. Zhan Sining was about to make his move when the blade flashed and the five Zergs were sliced into pieces.
The Zerg's blood mist spread across the sky and landed on Wang Tong's face. The feeling and the smell were all too familiar.
Wang Tong thrust his long blade into the ground, and a puddle of blood spurted out of the ground. The Skulk Zergs' vital signs were heightened, and the signal device finally responded.
Wang Tong tightened his grip on the hilt of his blade and channeled his GN Force into the ground.
"Mission accomplished, Captain."
"Good lad, you're quite clean and nimble. Have you done this before? If you weren't only 16 years old, I would have thought that you were an old soldier."
Zhan Sining patted Wang Tong on the shoulder. Not only was Wang Tong strong, but he was also very experienced. Judging from the way he fought and the expression on his face, Zhan Sining could tell that he was a veteran.
Most importantly, Wang Tong didn't unleash his GN Force to its maximum when he was killing the Zergs. Instead, he only used a Level Three GN Force, which proved that he had a good control over his Soul Energy, and he was well aware of the Zergs' defensive capabilities.
"How the hell did you do that?" Buck-teeth was shocked. How did Wang Tong detect the Skulk Zergs at such a close distance? Even the vibrator wouldn't be able to detect the Skulk Zergs.
"Haha, I used to be a survivor of Norton, and it's not my first time killing Zergs."
"Haha, the military finally did something right this time."
Zhan Sining laughed. A comrade like Wang Tong would greatly increase the survivability of the squad.
"Captain, it was a lucky shot. I don't believe that any military academy would be as good as you." Ol 'Three laughed.
"That's for sure. Some time ago, someone was assigned to another team. I heard that he was from an S-rank military academy. His strength was not bad, but after killing a few bugs, something went wrong with his brain. He couldn't sleep every day. He said he was nervous and stressed. Damn, what a joke."
Little Ao laughed.
Ordinary students had never experienced such a situation. This had nothing to do with the school. When they found out that they had to endure five times the pressure on Norton, they also had to be on guard against the Zergs' sneak attacks. Their mental state changed. The biggest change was not the Zergs, but when their comrades died, that was the real test …
Team 9 was quite excited. At first, when they heard that they were going to send students over, they had a headache. One more burden and one more mouth to open, but now, the military actually sent them a pesticide.
Everyone was even more surprised when they found out that Wang Tong had lived on Norton for a year. No wonder Wang Tong was able to kill Zergs so easily. It was a miracle that he could live on Norton alone.
Zhan Sining adjusted the formation of the squad. Wang Tong would be the vanguard, and the rest of the squad would cooperate with him. On the battlefield, one's strength determined one's fate. With Wang Tong's combat prowess, they could attack more boldly. At the same time, Wang Tong's premonition also brought them a lot of safety. After all, not everyone could detect Zergs from two hundred meters away.
Their mission this time was a three-day mission, and they had killed a lot of stragglers in just one day. With Wang Tong's help, killing Zergs was no longer as dangerous as before. Dozens of Zergs were no threat to them at all.
Most importantly, as the battle went on, they realized that Wang Tong had a deeper understanding of Zergs than the veterans. Unlike them, Wang Tong had the experience and the formal education of the academy, which allowed him to perfectly combine theory with practice.
The process of killing Zergs had basically become Wang Tong's lecture, and the veterans were convinced.
At night, everyone set up camp. Buck-teeth set up a small camp and set up a warning line. Insects did not need to rest, but humans did. Every small team had to be equipped with basic equipment when carrying out long-distance missions. With the existence of the space crystal, human operations were greatly simplified.
Generally speaking, the soldiers of Norton were well-equipped. After all, the military wouldn't be so stupid as to leave their equipment in the warehouse to rot unless there was a large-scale battle.
"Come on, brothers, let's drink a toast to Wang Tong. Welcome to the Ninth Squad!" Zhan Sining raised his glass.
"Come on, cheers! Our squad is so lucky!"
Wang Tong was overjoyed. This was the kind of military life that he had always wanted. There were no restrictions, everyone was like brothers, and they would live and die together. Unlike Turner, who was an idiot, everyone was loyal to him, and everyone was loyal to him. This was what a real man should be like, this was what a real soldier should be like!
Tenar was just a small part of the world. Most of the soldiers were hot-blooded, and they fought for the sake of humanity without asking for anything in return.
At least, the soldiers of the Ninth Squad were like that.
"Brothers, I hereby announce that Wang Tong will be the vice-captain of the Ninth Squad. If I die, he will be the leader!"
Zhan Sining laughed after the meal.
"What the hell is the captain talking about?"
"That's right, with Wang Tong, we are much stronger than before. I think we can even defeat a Level 100 opponent!" "That's right.
"Yeah!"
"But I agree that Wang Tong should be our vice-captain. His understanding of combat and Zergs are way better than ours. Age is not the limit. I agree!"
"Me too!"
Wang Tong's performance in today's battle had truly opened everyone's eyes. Wang Tong was a veteran among veterans, and he was able to kill the Zergs like a butcher dismembering an ox. It could be described as a work of art. His control of his strength and his knife skills were perfect!
His understanding of battle formations was also quite good. Obviously, Wang Tong wasn't the type of person who only knew how to charge. The soldiers recognized him as a genius because of his intelligence and bravery.
Of course, Zhan Sining's words were a little too hasty, but no one noticed the worry in Zhan Sining's eyes.
Wang Tong noticed it. Wang Tong knew that one shouldn't treat Wang Tong like a child. Instead, Wang Tong was much more meticulous than Bighead and the others.
"What's bothering you, captain?" Wang Tong asked.
Zhan Sining lit a cigarette and didn't answer immediately. "Nothing. You should get some rest. You are tired from today's battle."
"Haha, captain, I am not tired at all. I am new here, so you don't have to …"
"Oh, then why did you accept?" Zhan Sining interrupted.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Tong would either humbly concede or be extremely excited about his promotion, but apparently, Wang Tong was neither of those.
Wang Tong smiled and said, "Captain, you have accepted me. I am a member of the squad, and I know what I am capable of. I will not back down when it is time to take responsibility. This is the trust you have in me."
One should never be hypocritical among one's own brothers.
"Brat, you're really something. During wartime, the captain can directly appoint his successor, and during dangerous missions, it's even more important to make proper arrangements. Originally, I wanted to appoint Third Bro. He's good in all aspects, but now that you're here, everything has become easier. Third Bro's strength is still too lacking. With your strength, if it weren't for special circumstances, you wouldn't have joined a small team like ours."
Zhan Sining took a puff of his cigarette. He had a point. Normally, Wang Tong would start as an officer in the army after he graduated, and he wouldn't be assigned to such a dangerous mission. Therefore, the military's plan to recruit cadets from military academies had its pros and cons. Wang Tong felt a little embarrassed after hearing Zhan Sining's words.
Wang Tong felt a little embarrassed after hearing Jansining's words. He was right. He wouldn't be here if it weren't for Samantha. Old Fart had taught him that those who liked to play the hero would die faster. That was why he wanted to work on the battleship. It had been a long time since the Zergs launched a large-scale attack, so the battleship would be safer than the ground. Even if he couldn't join the battleship, he could join the air force. After all, bombing was always safer than fighting on the ground. Wang Tong was well aware of the Zergs' pyramid.
Jansining seemed to have seen through Wang Tong's embarrassment, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be shy, kid. Everyone has their own destiny, and you are different from us. You have a brighter future ahead of you. Life on Norton is just a small part of it. I just hope that you will be able to live and die with us during your time in the team.
"Captain, since I am here, I will be a member of the squad!"
"I believe in you. You are a natural-born warrior. You didn't notice it yourself, but when you start fighting, you have the aura of a man with a sword in his hand. Even though I am weak, I have good eyesight."
"Captain, what is our mission this time?"
"Nothing much. The dimension detected a Zerg nest, and we are on our way there with other squads. We are going to wipe out the nest and kill the queen. However, this is a large-scale battle, and we will have to charge at the enemy instead of relying on the terrain. Hehe, you will understand in the future."
On Norton, it was not scary for small teams to patrol and sweep up lone Zergs. Even if they were ambushed by the Zergs, as long as they were careful, they would at most be injured. However, once they attacked the nest, the Zergs would swarm out in large numbers. Tens of thousands of Zergs were normal. At that time, there would be no need to talk about tactics. Everyone would have to rush forward, and casualties were inevitable.
