369: First time in the Special Service
"This is the Special Operations Department of our GTI."
Roy walked in front, introducing the various departments of GTI to Liu Yan one by one.
"Yo, a newcomer?"
On a chair not far away, a burly man with a Big Beard took a sip of beer and jerked his chin at Roy.
Roy nodded at him, then looked at Liu Yan and introduced him:
"This is David Ferrer, codenamed Uluru."
After speaking, Roy leaned into Liu Yan's ear and whispered:
"But we usually call him Niao Shou Shou, haha."
Then Roy smiled and patted Liu Yan on the shoulder.
"Don't let his looks fool you; he doesn't look like a good guy, but he's actually a very good person, and he really likes animals."
"You damn quack, stop talking nonsense to people." David Ferrer glared at Roy with dissatisfaction.
Immediately after, he looked at Liu Yan and smiled.
"Hello, newcomer. Once you're familiar with this place, I'll take you out for a drink tonight."
Liu Yan smiled and nodded in response.
Afterward, Roy pointed to a big man not far away who was busy repairing things using various welding machines.
"This is Terry Miusa, codenamed Shepherd."
"Just call him Old Black. Usually, our helmets, armor, and equipment are all repaired by him."
After Roy finished the introduction, the busy Terry Miusa looked up and showed his white teeth to Liu Yan.
Immediately after, a sweet female voice reached Liu Yan's ears.
"Oh my, finally met you in person."
Liu Yan looked in the direction of the voice, and a slim young girl wearing tight leather pants, short silver hair, and a mask walked out.
At the first sight of her, Liu Yan was slightly stunned.
Just like Wang Yuhao on the plane earlier.
This girl was also speaking in Chinese, which he could understand.
Unlike the subtitles that appeared for David Ferrer earlier.
"Ni hao, I am Mai Xiaowen, codenamed hai zhua."
"Ahem—" Mai Xiaowen coughed awkwardly twice, then said again:
"Hello, my name is Mai Xiaowen, codenamed hai zhua."
Before Liu Yan could speak, Wang Yuhao, who was behind him, teased first:
"Haha, Xiaowen, you've been speaking English so much you've forgotten how to speak Mandarin."
Wang Yuhao was also speaking in Chinese.
Seeing this, Kai Silva coughed lightly to remind them:
"Mighty Dragon, the base has a rule: everyone must speak English."
After hearing this, Wang Yuhao frowned slightly and retorted in fluent English.
"Don't always use the base rules I hate most to pressure me."
"In my unit's rules, everyone must speak Mandarin."
Kai Silva sighed helplessly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"But the reason everyone speaks English is to facilitate communication, isn't it?"
"If everyone spoke Chinese, we wouldn't have to do anything; we'd just spend every day learning your language, which is the hardest in the world."
After Kai Silva finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.
"That's because the Chinese language is profound and vast." After saying this, Wang Yuhao found a chair and sat down.
At the same time, he pointed at Liu Yan, refusing to be outdone.
"Besides, hasn't he been speaking Chinese the whole time?"
As soon as Wang Yuhao said this, everyone present, except for Liu Yan and Mai Xiaowen, was stunned.
"Wait, when did he speak Chinese?"
Facing their confusion, Wang Yuhao rubbed his forehead.
"Hasn't he been speaking Chinese the whole time?"
Several people shook their heads.
"I heard it as my local dialect."
"I heard him speaking my country's language."
Everyone's answers were surprisingly consistent.
For a moment, they looked at each other in confusion.
And Liu Yan, who was being watched by everyone, also realized something was wrong.
He had indeed been speaking Chinese from beginning to end.
On the way here in the helicopter, he had been communicating with Bee Doctor and Red Wolf without any barriers.
It turned out that the words he spoke turned into English or other languages when they reached others' ears.
Conversely, he could crudely see subtitles for the languages they spoke that he didn't understand.
Are transmigrations this advanced now?
Just as Liu Yan didn't know how to explain this situation, the sound of Wang Yuhao laughing in frustration came out.
He said in fluent English:
"No, why are you all so stubborn?"
"Come, record this."
Wang Yuhao immediately took out his phone, placed it on the table, and turned on the recording.
Seeing this, Kai Silva sighed.
"Look, Mighty Dragon, don't you know our level of Chinese?"
"If he were speaking Chinese, how would I communicate with him normally?"
Kai Silva was completely reasonable, but Wang Yuhao, whose competitive spirit was flared up, couldn't listen at all.
"Don't talk."
"Come on, fellow countryman, speak into the phone now."
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Liu Yan sighed helplessly.
"Hello."
Beep—
After Liu Yan finished speaking, Wang Yuhao pressed save.
Then he turned the phone's volume to the maximum and pressed play.
"Hello."
Liu Yan's voice came out of the phone.
Everyone pointed at the phone at the same time.
"See, what did I tell you?"
"I said it was Chinese, right? And you guys were arguing."
"Isn't this English?"
Even the busy Terry Miusa couldn't help but stop his work, look up, and smile helplessly at everyone:
"I'm asking, is this funny, playing pranks here?"
"Isn't this English?"
Wang Yuhao took a deep breath and pressed his temples with both hands.
"I'm so pissed off."
"Can't you even tell if it's your own country's language?"
For a time, everyone was arguing until their faces were red about which country's language Liu Yan was speaking.
Liu Yan stared blankly at the people laughing, scolding, and arguing.
He fell into a trance.
It seemed like he had experienced something similar to this scene before.
And... it seemed like a long time ago.
But in his memory, no similar images appeared at all.
But I have to say, this feeling... is quite nostalgic.
Liu Yan stood to the side, smiling as he watched the few people arguing until their faces were red.
If he could work with this group of people, it might actually be quite fun.
But the premise is that he can pass the assessment here...
Liu Yan scanned the group.
Except for Bee Doctor and hai zhua, who didn't look like they had much combat power.
The other four looked stronger than the last.
Especially Mighty Dragon and Red Wolf.
Although they weren't as burly as Niao Shou Shou and Old Black.
But the feeling they gave Liu Yan was significantly stronger.
However, Liu Yan couldn't judge who was stronger between the two.
"Just got back and I hear you arguing here. What are you arguing about?"
"I really envy you for having no missions."
Just as they were arguing, two female figures walked in from the door, yawning.
"Golden Luna? Zoya, you've returned just in time."
"Come, come, listen to this recording and tell us if it's Chinese or English."
Seeing the two, Wang Yuhao hurriedly tossed the phone through the air towards them.
Liu Yan keenly noticed that Wang Yuhao's action of throwing the phone wasn't a slow, deliberate toss to let the other party catch it.
It looked more like a fast throw, prioritizing speed.
But the latter didn't even look at the arc of the phone in the air; she casually raised her hand and caught it steadily.
What a tacit cooperation...
Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart; they were worthy of being comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the same organization.
If he could luckily pass the assessment.
He hoped he wouldn't hold them back.
"What boring game are you playing again? It was little sister Xiaowen's idea, right?"
After taking the phone, Golden Luna raised it and looked at hai zhua with a smile.
"Sister, it wasn't me. They were the ones playing a prank on purpose."
"They insist this audio is English, but in reality, it's clearly Chinese."
Hearing this, Golden Luna and Zoya looked at each other and rolled their eyes at the same time.
"Aren't you bored?"
After speaking, Golden Luna pressed play on the phone.
Liu Yan's voice rang out at this moment.
"Hello."
After listening, Golden Luna pouted, looking at the crowd as if they were idiots.
And Zoya, who was on the side, also rubbed her forehead.
"I really don't have time to mess around with you guys."
"Isn't this Korean?"
"Isn't this Russian?"
After speaking, the two looked at each other sharply, their eyes full of confusion.
"Are you as bored as them?"
