Rumble! A clap of thunder echoed, and the earth was blown up to several meters high!

"Damn it! This is a genuine minefield, filled with ambush mines!" Su Tianming's bloodshot eyes bellowed hoarsely: "Everyone has to be on high alert! Under no circumstances can we touch the ambush mines!"

Red Flag Zhang was covered in filth and grime, his gaze viciously malicious: "They call it a mine clearance competition, but all of them were supposed to be small-scale non-lethal dummy mines. In reality They've dropped us right into a real minefield!"

In the past couple of days, one of the events in the special forces championship was a mine clearance competition. The participating special forces soldiers from various countries needed to distinguish between real and dummy mines under different environmental conditions and then approach them safely; whichever team cleared the most mines would receive the highest score. Everyone who came here was driven by national pride, wanting to be first place; thus, each team started off with high morale.

But when the first clap of thunder sounded, Su Tianming knew he had been completely wrong.

This was an authentic minefield! The sound and power of that explosion were exactly like those of a real landmine!

Because they thought it would be dummy mines, the soldier who went up first to clear the mines ended up having both arms blown off; even though he had dodged in time, he could no longer have the chance to grip his rifle!

The second attempt resulted in the same situation.

Within just two days, they had lost four effective combat personnel.

Before they entered this minefield, all their supplies were taken away, and the ammunition for their guns was limited. Originally, Su Tianming didn't think much of it, but now it seems like they fell into a huge trap!

"Damn it! Once we get out, I'm going to lodge a complaint with the organizing committee!" Su Tianming clenched his fists, feeling extremely aggrieved.

“That’s something we can discuss after we get out,” Zhang Hongqi said in a cold tone. “First, let's focus on getting through this alive.”

"Do you think the organizing committee knows that these fake mines have turned into real ones" Su Tianming's face was covered with dust and blood, making it impossible to read his expression. Over the past few days, Zhang Hongqi, who came from a similar family background, had become the most trusted person in this new team of Dragon Scale members.

“They probably don’t know. This must be a trap set by some force,” Zhang Hongqi said. “Of course, we also don't know how other countries' teams are faring; whether they're experiencing the same situation as us.”

"No matter what, we have to get out of this cursed place as soon as possible!" Su Tianming gripped his assault rifle tightly and shouted: “Everyone stay alert! Be cautious about both your feet and head! Make sure you’re looking carefully!”

Su Tianming was acutely aware that the burden on his shoulders was heavy. Bringing out such a group of elite soldiers from the national army was to make a name for themselves in this competition. The injury of any one person would be a huge loss.

At this moment, a soldier who was exploring ahead cautiously stepped forward but didn’t see that a thin wire thinner than a hair—coated with lipstick—was placed ten centimeters above the ground on his path.

This incredibly fine wire had been treated so it wouldn't reflect any light even when sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, completely deceiving people’s eyesight.

Ever since the first mine exploded, this special operations elite's nerves had been highly stretched for two days. This minefield seemed endless, and with every step taken, one had to be extremely vigilant about both head and feet, which was exhausting both physically and mentally.

This soldier had reached his limit of exhaustion and completely ignored the danger at his feet.

The next step, his leather shoes stepped on a thin steel wire. The wire was so fine that even after making contact with it, he didn’t feel anything.

But in just a few seconds, he would no longer feel anything.

A dense flame erupted from under his feet, and a sharp tearing sensation spread throughout his body. It seemed as if within an instant, his body shattered into pieces, never to feel pain again.

"Hit the deck!"

When Captain Su Tianming hit the ground, he clearly saw his teammate’s body being blown apart. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, and his gaze was filled with a desire for bloodshed!

Su Tianming had never been to war before, but these consecutive losses were already greatly stimulating his nerves.

"You bunch of scoundrels!" Second Young Master Su finally could no longer contain the anger in his heart. He punched the ground and shouted loudly: "One day, I will find out who did this! I will make you pay with your blood!"

Within two days, five people had been reduced from their ranks. Zhang Hongqi looked at the somewhat demoralized team and a flash of狠光 (fierce determination) passed through his eyes. Suddenly, his voice rose: "We are the most elite special forces of China! We are the pinnacle of Chinese soldiers! A mere area of booby traps, can it really stop our advance Can it make us hesitate and retreat This is not who we should be!"

"We are warriors, destined to go to war! And many among you have experienced combat before. Are you afraid of this one time It's merely a minefield area. Once crossed, we will step on the heads of special forces elites from other countries!"

Zhang Hongqi has the least special forces experience in this team. The others have been rigorously selected, whereas he merely joined due to his status as the South Jiang Garrison District's wrestling champion; thus, there are certain aspects where he is lacking.

However, Zhang Hongqi’s leadership skills were about to shine.

"You all entered this special forces unit through rigorous selection. You should know that casualties are expected in special forces training! Losing a few men during training isn't unusual! We must treat this battle as if it's just another part of our training! If we can't even get out of this minefield alive, then we don’t deserve to represent China’s special forces in the upcoming competition, nor do we deserve to bear the name ‘Dragon Scale’!"

Zhang Hongqi's words were delivered passionately and with great persuasiveness. This group of soldiers had no choice but to push forward.

Heavily considering Zhang Hongqi’s last remark, Su Tianming lifted his head and gave him a complicated look.

The former Dragon Scale was the nation's Dragon Scale; now, it belongs to the Su Family. Regardless of who controls them, however, these men are soldiers first and foremost. They owe it to themselves to live up to the name "Dragon Scale."

During Wang Zheng’s era, the Dragon Scale unit was a mysterious force that was powerful and flawless. The elite soldiers under his command now seem fragile like rookies who haven't been hardened by real combat.

"What would you do if you were here"

Su Tianming suddenly saw Wang Zheng’s image in front of him, then the fighting spirit began to slowly burn in his eyes.n Fuzhou ever happened to rattle him.But this time was different. He always thought that he had good control over his temper, but now he realized it wasn't about having a good temperament—it was becau...
