Chapter 275: Appearance of Thunderstorm

Qin Fen is injured! Qin Fen is injured!


The hottest East Asian recruit in the recruit tournament, Qin Fen, was injured.


Like a whirlwind, the news spread quickly within the military camp of the recruit tournament.


The most discussed recruit had been ambushed during the beginning of the martial art tournament, just when the prologue curtains were opening and the recruit tournament was entering the climax.


For such a thing to occur at this timing… it was something that was hard to be accepted as a pure coincidence by anyone.


As the news of Qin Fen’s injury spread, various speculations started going around the audience as they became concerned about the tournament.


The European general wanted revenge so he secretly hired an a.s.sa.s.sin to ambush Qin Fen.


The American general wanted to prevent the champion throne from being taken away by the East Asians, so he secretly hired a hitman to ambush Qin Fen.


The speculative rumors spread quickly at the breakfast tables. The audience members who had seen the tournament schedule were more concerned about whether or not Qin Fen would be able to partic.i.p.ate in the sniper tournament.


With a curious mindset, a large number of spectators had eaten breakfast inattentively and rushed to the location where the sniper tournament was taking place. Some of the audience members had no intention to witness the sniper tournament, but with the rumors of the Qin Fen’s ambush going around, they grew interested in the sniper tournament that they previously had little interest in.


The audience stand of the shooting range was packed with people for the first time. The number of people was even more than the number of people who had attended the advancement of the top thirty-two recruits from the top sixty-four of the martial art event. This was all because Qin Fen was ambushed.


Will Qin Fen appear today?


Does he need to be in the hospital to be treated?


Who was behind Qin Fen’s ambush?


The tournament slowly began as the audience were making speculations, with a huge projection screen appearing on the top of the audience.


Qin Fen! It is Qin Fen!


The crowd immediately noticed Qin Fen from the huge projection screen. He was in a green East Asian military uniform with his right arm bandaged in front of his chest. His face did not have the glow he used to have, replaced with a little hidden gloomy expression.


Tens of thousands of viewers gasped at the same time, which made a ” si ” sound, with a touch of pity in it.


The European and American recruits who stood near the East Asian recruits looked even paler than Qin Fen.


With the news of Qin Fen’s injury surfacing, both the European and American recruits began to worry about whether someone would aim malicious accusations towards them.


The leading generals of major military regions also did not sleep last night because of this sudden incident.


A recruit being ambushed, should it have happened any other day or to any other recruit, it would have probably been ignored. But this had to happen to the most discussed recruit in this recruit tournament, making it difficult for others not to speculate rumors towards a malicious direction.


The generals from the West Asia and Africa military regions also had headaches.


Just the night before, Qin Fen used an extremely violent method to eliminate the American mobile armor team from the tournament. As the next contender, it would take a miracle for them to defeat Qin Fen, or unless the fabled G.o.d Buddha appeared. Or perhaps, there was something wrong with the mobile armor pilot, and Qin Fen’s health caused him to be unable to maneuver tough combat methods while controlling the mobile armor.


Serious injuries? Direct death? Both were good methods!


Except for the East Asian military region, it could be said that all the other four major military region had different motives to commit the crime. As for who the person behind it was, no one was able to tell immediately. They were only able to cooperate with Zhao Huzi’s investigation to prove their innocence.


The sniper tournament was very different from the first two pistols and semi-automatic rifle tournament.


To be a first-cla.s.s sniper, shooting a long-range moving target or a static target was nothing. The real challenge was that the person must be able to a.s.sa.s.sinate the enemy in real life.


A sniper is different from an ordinary soldier. Their targets are not ordinary semi-automatic rifle holding soldiers, but more authoritative commanding officers or talented people.


People who had the potential to be commanding officers often had keen instincts to a.n.a.lyze complex and volatile battlefield situations. Similarly, the person who can become a commanding officer, regardless they are from the federation or a terrorist from the anti-government armed forces will also be equipped with more valuable martial art skills.


With keen intuition and the higher martial art values, the commanding officers were more sensitive to the presence of danger and killing intent compared to the ordinary soldiers. Upon being locked on as a target, the commanding officer would have sensed it and evade immediately.


In this sniping tournament, the target was no longer moving cardboard, but living human. A group of commanding officers that served the military for years from all sorts of ranks with the ability to hide, camouflage and even counterattack.


In previous sniper tournaments, the recruits were often completely eliminated from the tournament through “death”. From these various ranked officers, it was natural to have a small group of people who were from special forces. Amongst them were individuals with special expertise in anti-sniping.


Qin Fen looked carefully at the rules of the tournament. Based on the difference in the distance between the target and the ident.i.ty of the target, the scores would be different. The person with the highest score acc.u.mulated would be the winner.


Note: In order to fully test the quality of the sniper, a fake military uniform could sometimes be put on the commanding officers. There were cases where low-ranking officers pretended to be senior officers, and senior officers used junior officials’ clothing to hide their ident.i.ty.


Qin Fen nodded slowly. The sniper tournament seems to be more formal than expected, even using methods to confuse the sense of sight and hearing of a sniper.


“Now may all the contestants please choose the weapon that you need.”


From the loudspeaker, a cold synthesized sound started to ring. The recruits from different continents quickly dashed towards the temporarily built a.r.s.enal.


The three commentators also voluntarily came to do free commentary because of Qin Fen’s injury to liven up the tournament atmosphere.


“The recruit Qin Fen seems to have no spirit today.”


“Of course. If you were ambushed during the night and had your arm broken, you might not even have the same amount spirit as the current Qin Fen.”


“But will a Qin Fen who has no spirit continue to maintain his momentum?”


“To be honest, I am a little grateful to the person behind the Qin Fen’s ambush.”


“Why do you say so?” The other two commentators asked in unison. It was a question that the majority of the audience was curious about.


“Think about it, if recruit Qin Fen was in his perfect condition, who would have the biggest chance of winning today’s tournament?”


“This…I believe it would be Qin Fen? Although I had not seen his level in sniping, based on his previous performance…”


“Exactly! If Qin Fen is not hurt, there would be too little suspense in this tournament. Now… ouch! Who threw something to my head?” The commentator who was seated in the middle looked around.


“Jia Jia…” Lin Liqiang looked excited while he stared at the stadium and whispered in Song Jia’s ears, “Gentle lady, pay attention in maintaining your gentle lady aura. You throwing tomatoes towards people will easily destroy your impression of a beautiful, kind, and gentle lady in Qin Fen’s heart.”


“Hmph! Who asked him to thank the person who is behind Qin Fen’s ambush. If he continues to talk, I will no longer use tomatoes to express my dissatisfaction, I will use …” Song Jia gently turned the red apple in her hand, “..this apple to tell him. I am very unhappy.”


Lin Liqiang squinted at the tender red apple in the Song Jia’s hand. It would be painful even if it was thrown by a normal person. For Song Jia, a woman with good martial arts foundation skills to throw this apple, even if it might not be comparable to being hit by an iron ball, it could cause swelling to the size of a bun. The commentators better learn Iron Head or tenacious arts like the Golden Bell s.h.i.+eld, or else with this one strike to the head, he would probably end up in the hospital.


Song Jia pouted cutely with her lips as she turned the apple.


A pomegranate appeared in front of Song Jia.


Song Jia slightly opened her lips and looked toward Enzo Rota who threw the pomegranate. This man who didn’t like to talk, also took action in a style which was totally his. It was really cool!


Lin Liqiang sighed towards the sky. This Old Enz who took day and night to produce the medicine before rus.h.i.+ng here was really a man of action.


“Thank you.” Song Jia took the pomegranate, peeled off the skin and took out a handful of arils, and smashed it in the palm of her pale hand.


Lin Liqiang watched Song Jia, sighed and shook his head repeatedly. This girl couldn’t investigate who was behind the ambush on Qin Fen because of the existence of Song Wendong. Her mood is currently at its worst.


“To be honest, I’m most worried about recruit Qin Fen’s martial art tournament after the sniping tournament.”


“Yes, that’s right! It is rumored that he not only suffered a broken arm, but also internal injuries. The strengths of the top thirty-two martial artists are obviously much stronger than the top sixty-four recruits.”


“Yeah, it is rumored that he is the East Asia’s top pick for winning the champions.h.i.+p. It seems that the luck of the East Asian military is really bad. First, they had lost the well-trained elite warrior Du Zhanpeng, and now it is Qin Fen’s turn…”


There were sighs of disappointment in the audience.


“Enzo Rota…”


A voice filled with doubts rang from the side. Lin Liqiang turned to look at the European recruit who was standing not far away – The “Great Emperor” Caesar.


Caesar’s usual calm eyes showed unbelievable surprise for the first time. “You…?”


“That’s my friend.”


Enzo Rota pointed towards Qin Fen who was entering the a.r.s.enal.


“Three words?” Caesar showed a shock-filled smile. “You can actually say out three words? Solomon, did you hear that? Enzo Rota said three words.”


Solomon flashed his green-crystal eyes and stared at Qin Fen’s back before he entered the a.r.s.enal, “He said Qin Fen is his friend.”


“Enzo Rota also has friends?” Caesar stared at the a.r.s.enal with his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with some curiosity. “Qin Fen, you can even get Enzo Rota to recognize you as a friend?”


“The person whom Caesar pays attention to…”


Yang Lie, who was separated by a dozen rows, re-examined Enzo Rota, who emitted an aura that was almost isolated from the world. This is the first time I’m seeing this man. I only can sense that he is a very strong opponent. It seems like I underestimated this person.


“He is known as “Thunderstorm” Enzo Rota. One of the three European current generation genius. But since he is a low-key person, he isn’t famous.”
