Seeing Bai Zhan’s enthusiastic appearance, Xiao Tian felt somewhat helpless and simply got into the car without saying anything more.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but sigh, "The Special Military Region, huh, it’s been years since I last came here!"

**

Huaxia Special Military Region, First Ammunition Depot.

The ammunition depot serves as the most crucial part of the military and can be considered the core strength of a unit. It is heavily guarded, surrounded by sentry posts with hidden snipers.

Even among insiders, it requires complicated procedures and certifications to enter, highlighting its significance.

Bai Zhan’s two jeeps represented the fourth position of the Special Military Region. For a time, they traveled unimpeded throughout the region, receiving salutes wherever they passed.

A few minutes later, the jeep stopped at the large iron gate’s entrance.

Bai Zhan got out of the car and took out his credentials to signal the guards to open the gate.

"Commander, please come in." Once the large iron gate was open, Bai Zhan walked over and said to Xiao Tian.

However, the two guards behind them were dumbfounded. Who is this person who can command such respect from the squad captain of the Fierce Tiger Special Team?

----

The ammunition depot was divided into first, second, third, and fourth levels. The second, third, and fourth levels represent heavy to light weapons, respectively.

This first-level ammunition depot is a classified military site. It contains weapons that are either not publicly disclosed or experimental weapons that have not yet been fully developed.

This time, under Zhao Gang’s instructions for Bai Zhan not to "conceal conservatively," Bai Zhan directly led Xiao Tian into this first-level ammunition depot. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Bai Zhan turned on the warehouse lights, and in an instant, a dazzling array of weapons and equipment came into view.

Various exquisite, never-before-seen firearms and knives were neatly arranged on racks, devoid of any dust, indicating daily cleaning by designated personnel.

At this moment, Bai Zhan was carrying a black metal case. He placed it on the ground and opened it, revealing many weapons that looked extremely advanced.

Bai Zhan said proudly, "Commander, these are all the latest ones, not inferior to those from the United States!"

Coming from a military background, Xiao Tian naturally recognized the quality. These weapons in the case were advanced enough that he examined them with interest. The equipment here was rarely seen and was only eligible for the most elite forces.

Xiao Tian selected some equipment and then nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad! These will do. Please convey my thanks to District Chief Zhao!"

Bai Zhan nodded and followed Xiao Tian out of the ammunition depot.

Not far from the exit, intense discussions were heard from a nearby temporary shelter.

"The captain sent back a message just now, saying their latest assault failed, and several comrades were killed!"

"I heard it’s the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps, which is very famous in the overseas Chinese circles! They often do such black ops, using extremely ruthless tactics and having countless formidable members. No one can handle them!"

"What?? It’s the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps?? I heard several countries’ special forces tried to encircle them years ago, but they all escaped unscathed!"

At this moment, a team leader in the shelter saw Xiao Tian and Bai Zhan outside and shouted, "The captain is here!"

As Bai Zhan was mainly responsible for support operations, the entire room of special forces soldiers quickly surrounded him, each looking more anxious than the last.

One of the team leaders saluted first and then anxiously asked, "Captain, how should we reinforce? The captain’s team is barely holding on!"

Saying this, the leader handed over a casualty report. Bai Zhan received it, and upon seeing the numbers, his expression became heavy.

In just one morning, they had lost nearly ten valuable comrades!

Bai Zhan’s expression was difficult, "The Poison Fang Mercenary Corps is formidable, even those foreign peacekeeping special teams are helpless. Acting rashly could result in heavy losses!"

Bai Zhan gritted his teeth, undecided about how to reinforce. He had been pondering this all morning.

He couldn’t gamble with his brothers’ lives!

At this moment, the special forces around him grew anxious, knowing their brothers on the front line were fighting for their lives.

"Captain, let us go!"

"We must reinforce them!"

Amid Bai Zhan’s anxiety, he suddenly remembered Xiao Tian beside him.

The god of the military, Hunter, was right there with him!

At that moment, Bai Zhan turned his head, his eyes full of expectation, almost as if seeing a savior.

"Well...."

After a long pause, Bai Zhan finally opened his mouth slowly.

Xiao Tian immediately replied, "I’ll go with you."

Although he was retired!

But Xiao Tian had always been proud of being a Chinese soldier!

The Chinese military will not be desecrated!

With so many lives at stake, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Moreover, Xiao Tian wanted to test these new weapons’ power.

"Great!" Bai Zhan exclaimed in delight upon hearing this!

But those around them were puzzled. One of the team leaders rushed over and said, "Captain, this should be a new recruit, right? How can we send a newcomer at such a crucial moment? It could be suicidal!"

Bai Zhan coldly replied, "What do you know? Stop talking nonsense! That’s my order!"

Bai Zhan knew very well that Xiao Tian in front of him was likely more capable than their entire small squad combined! How could he refuse his willingness to go?

The team leader, scolded twice by Bai Zhan, felt displeased and thought coldly to himself.

"Hmph, it’s not my life on the line anyway!"

In the early hours, a military truck had been traveling on a remote mountain road for several hours. There were no houses around, only vast expanses of forest.

Inside the vehicle, Xiao Tian was sitting with his eyes closed, but he could feel everyone glancing towards him.

"Look at him, isn’t he just in his early twenties?" one of the special forces soldiers whispered.

The person next to him nodded, "He looks like a newbie, I don’t know why the captain brought him along!"

"This isn’t a game; lives could be at stake here."

"Sigh, in the end, wouldn’t he be more of a burden to us?"

Despite the skepticism and doubts directed at Xiao Tian, he remained with his eyes closed, silent.

-----

Meanwhile, in a small valley not far from the border, gunfire continued.

The special forces and the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps were positioned at opposite ends of the valley. A single assault could determine the outcome.

Yet, during this time, the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps slowly advanced, clearly not in a hurry. They pressed on bit by bit. So far, the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps hadn’t lost a single person, while the special forces had already lost several members.

At this moment, the special forces were positioned at the valley’s exit, appearing to surround the Poison Fang Mercenary Corps. However, no one dared to charge forward.

The corpses around them served as a bloody warning!
