98: Chapter 98 Rank Promotion! Latest Weapon Blueprints

Platoon Leader Long Zhan's face turned incredibly ugly.

He knew that no matter how skilled Qin Feng was, he was still just one person.

Faced with this kind of carpet bombing, once his position was locked, he would surely die!

"Second Squad, follow me!"

Platoon Leader Long Zhan gritted his teeth, preparing to lead his men in a charge.

"Platoon Leader! Wait!"

Just then, Tiezhu suddenly pointed in a direction inside the village and exclaimed in shock.

"What... what is that?!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

They saw that in the center of the village, the two-story building serving as the enemy Commander's headquarters suddenly erupted in a blinding flash of fire!

Immediately after.

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar, enough to shatter eardrums, echoed across the entire Gobi Desert!

That two-story building seemed to have been forcibly erased from its foundation by an invisible giant hand!

Bricks, steel bars, and human bodies were torn to shreds in the terrifying explosion, shooting into the sky and raining down as a shower of flesh and blood!

The firepower across all of Yangjiao Village ceased instantly at that moment.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden explosion, which was comparable to a heavy aerial bomb.

Platoon Leader Long Zhan, Chen Mo, and the others also stared blankly at the rising mushroom cloud, their minds completely blank.

"He... he blew up their... ammunition depot?" Chen Mo muttered to himself.

No.

That's not right.

Platoon Leader Long Zhan's pupils constricted sharply.

He remembered.

When Qin Feng rushed out of the ammunition depot, he was carrying two ammunition boxes in his hands!

Those weren't ordinary ammunition boxes!

That was C4 explosive!

This madman!

He wasn't surrounded at all!

He had been aiming for the enemy's headquarters from the very beginning!

It was a decapitation strike!

That kid Qin Feng had been planning a decapitation strike from the start!

The previous harassment and explosions were all feints!

It was just to attract the enemy's attention, making everyone think he was trapped on the perimeter!

And he himself, taking advantage of this opportunity, carried two boxes of C4 and snuck into the heart of the enemy!

What a ruthless method!

What a vicious strategy!

What a... Chef!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host, mission completed, military rank upgraded.]

[Host: Qin Feng]

[Rank: Private First Class (military merit 90/3000)]

[Destroyed enemy headquarters, killed enemy Commander Captain Bach!]

[Obtained fixed military merit: 600 points]

[Obtained reward: Random weapon blueprint x1.]

[military merit points: 100]

In the chaotic ruins, Qin Feng, covered in dust and blood, slowly stood up.

Listening to the series of system notifications in his mind, he didn't feel as happy as he had imagined.

He just crouched in a dark corner, silently loading bullets.

One!

Two!

Three!

"Huazi, and all the brothers who died in battle... the Chef has avenged you!"

Qin Feng's gaze was cold as he pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one.

Insert! Bolt! Chamber!

All in one fluid motion!

...

The aftershocks of the explosion still echoed over the Gobi Desert.

Yangjiao Village fell into an eerie silence.

Communications were cut, and the Commander, along with the entire headquarters, had been physically erased.

The remaining Yang Country soldiers and Bear Country advisors became completely headless flies.

They held their guns, huddled in their respective bunkers, staring in terror at the giant crater in the center of the village that was still billowing black smoke, not knowing what to do.

Panic, like a virus, spread rapidly among them.

That invisible enemy, like the Grim Reaper, loomed over everyone's heart.

They didn't know who the opponent was, how many there were, or where they came from.

They only knew that if they popped their heads out, they would die.

Hiding, perhaps... they could live a little longer.

Behind the sand dune.

The men of the Falcon Reconnaissance Platoon were still immersed in immense shock, unable to recover for a long time.

"Pla... Platoon Leader... should we... still go up?" Tiezhu's voice carried a hint of tremor and awe.

Go up?

Platoon Leader Long Zhan gave a wry smile.

Go up, my ass!

A Chef, dragging a kitchen knife and carrying two boxes of C4, single-handedly took out the enemy's headquarters.

If they charged up there now, would they be going to steal the credit, or to clean up the battlefield?

"This kid..."

Platoon Leader Long Zhan put down his binoculars, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his eyes were extremely complex.

"He's just a monster."

"I've been a soldier for over a decade, and I've never seen anyone fight like this." Chen Mo also sighed with emotion.

He touched the Type 88 sniper rifle in his arms, feeling for the first time that this thing was a bit redundant.

In front of the man named Qin Feng, precision shooting and stealth camouflage all seemed so ridiculous.

He simply flipped the table.

Simple, brutal, and unreasonable.

"Everyone, hold your position."

Platoon Leader Long Zhan ultimately issued the safest order.

He dared not act rashly now.

It wasn't because he was afraid of the enemy, but because he was afraid of that "friendly force."

God knows what earth-shattering thing that madman would do next.

If they rushed up and were mistaken for enemies and wiped out in one go, that would be a huge joke.

"Chen Mo, you are responsible for vigilance. Everyone else, replenish ammunition and prepare to provide support at any time."

Platoon Leader Long Zhan's voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

He felt that his role as Platoon Leader was becoming more and more like a logistics supervisor.

...

In the ruins.

Qin Feng was not in a hurry to leave.

Like an experienced hunter, he patiently cleaned up his "prey."

Captain Bach's body had been blown to pieces, but the officer's uniform that represented his identity was still somewhat intact.

Qin Feng tore off his rank epaulets from it, and from his pocket, fished out a map that was scorched black but still barely recognizable.

On the map, a location was circled in red pen.

It was exactly Yangjiao Village.

And on the cross-section map of the underground of Yangjiao Village, a terrifyingly huge black mineral vein mark was clearly labeled.

Beside it, there was a line of small text written in Russian.

"'red giant' project, phase one, estimated extraction volume, three million tons."

Qin Feng's pupils constricted slightly.

A super-giant iron ore vein!

Just as expected!

The Bear Country people had launched a heaven-defying major project here!

He carefully put away the map and epaulets; these were all military merit, capital to claim credit from his superiors.

After finishing all this, he finally turned his attention to the random blueprint that the system had just rewarded him with.

"Open."

[Ding!]

[Random weapon blueprint obtained!]

[Congratulations to the host, obtained military k38 sniper rifle blueprint!]

The next second, all the manufacturing principles regarding the k38 sniper rifle entered his mind.

Qin Feng curled his lips, a bit disappointed.

He had thought he might get a blueprint for something like a high-tech electromagnetic cannon, but he didn't expect it to just be a sniper rifle blueprint.

Although in the world of his previous life, this kind of sniper rifle had long been eliminated.

But now on Blue Star, the k38 was definitely an epoch-making advancement.

Not only was it lightweight, but it also had low recoil and extremely high stability.

The most terrifying thing was that its sniping range and high-magnification scope far exceeded this era.

It was absolutely an essential weapon for home travel and killing people for supplies.

Just as he was complaining to himself, he suddenly heard a suppressed, painful groaning sound from not far away.

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he silently crept over.

Under a bunker that had been half-collapsed by the explosion, a soldier wearing a Yang Country military uniform was clutching his mangled thigh, writhing in pain.

His leg had been pierced through the inner thigh by an exposed steel bar, and blood was gushing out; it was clear he wouldn't survive.

Seeing Qin Feng, the Yang Country soldier's face was filled with despair.

He struggled, trying to reach for the rifle beside him.
