"I think they'll all choose to stay," Dog Head Old Gao answered without a second thought.
"Even though I think the same, there are seven of them. That's more than a standard team size," Gray Wolf said, scratching his head.
"Let's see what they choose. If they all decide to stay, we'll fight for it with the higher-ups."
Standing at the entrance of the Wolf Fang Memorial Hall, Dog Head Old Gao looked at the appointment letter in his hand and said, "Whether this appointment letter can take effect depends on their choice."
Wolf Fang Memorial Hall
"Everyone, speak up. What are you thinking? Staying or leaving?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"If you're going to be a soldier, be an elite. I choose to stay," Old Cannon was the first to speak.
"You're all a bunch of people whose heads have been caught in a door. If I don't stay, who's going to save you?" Medic Shi Dafan said with a laugh.
"I'm staying too. I want to see how the Medic is going to save us," Ostrich followed immediately.
"I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to tell my girlfriend when I see her that I'm the King of Soldiers among Kings of Soldiers." Zhuang Yan glanced at Lin Mu as he spoke.
Seeing Zhuang Yan look at Lin Mu, Ostrich teased, "Why are you looking at him? Don't tell me you two..."
Lin Mu glared at Ostrich and said, "Be serious. Look at where we are. This isn't the place for your antics."
"Captain, I've decided. I'm in," Geng Jihui said, looking at Lin Mu.
"Qiang Zi, you're the only one left. Are you coming or not?" Lin Mu asked Qiang Zi, who hadn't spoken yet.
Everyone looked at Qiang Zi, making him a bit embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "I was just wondering, if I join the Lone Wolf B Team, can I transfer to the Public Security Bureau after I'm discharged?"
"No," everyone said in unison.
"Then I... join," Qiang Zi said.
After the deliberation time was up, Dog Head Old Gao walked in just in time to hear Qiang Zi's answer. "Have you all decided? Does anyone choose to leave?"
"Report, no one," Lin Mu said, standing up.
Dog Head Old Gao nodded in satisfaction. "Very well. I will now announce the appointment letter."
"In view of Comrade Lin Mu's comprehensive performance in exercises, training, and actual combat, after careful consideration by this department and approval from higher authorities, Comrade Lin Mu is hereby appointed as the Team Leader of the Lone Wolf B Team, and Geng Jihui is appointed as the Deputy Team Leader."
After reading the appointment letter, Dog Head Old Gao handed it to Lin Mu.
Taking the appointment letter, Lin Mu and Geng Jihui said together, "Thank you to the organization for your trust."
"Alright, you're Wolf Fang men now. Give yourselves code names," Gray Wolf said.
Zhuang Yan: "I'm Siberian Wolf."
Old Cannon: "I'm Mountain Wolf."
Qiang Zi: "I'm Vicious Wolf."
Ostrich: "I'm Big Tail Wolf."
Medic: "I'm Bald-Tailed Wolf."
Geng Jihui: "I'm Forest Wolf."
Seeing Lin Mu hesitate to speak, Dog Head Old Gao couldn't help but ask, "Your code name?"
"Squad Leader Gao, to be honest, I haven't really thought of one," Lin Mu said helplessly.
"When you walked out of the woods that day, I saw you standing before me covered in blood," Dog Head Old Gao said.
Lin Mu thought for a moment after hearing Dog Head Old Gao's words. "Covered in blood... reporting, I'll be Blood Wolf."
"Alright, now follow Gray Wolf to the 026 Logistics Warehouse."
"Yes, sir."
Screech!
A military vehicle stopped in front of a massive building painted in camouflage.
"Gray Wolf, is this the legendary 026 Logistics Warehouse?" Ostrich asked curiously.
Gray Wolf just smiled without a word, walked to the main gate, and pressed his finger onto the fingerprint scanner.
"Beep! Fingerprint verified. Please enter the password," an electronic voice sounded.
"Password correct. Welcome, Gray Wolf."
As the electronic voice faded, the door in front of them slowly rose.
"Welcome to the Lone Wolf Special Commando Unit," Gray Wolf said as he led the way inside.
Everyone followed Gray Wolf through a long corridor, then turned left, and a massive complex appeared before them.
Gray Wolf pointed at the building in front of them and introduced it, "This is the most mysterious place in the Lone Wolf Commando Team: the Anti-Terrorism Training House."
"Gray Wolf, is this place entirely filled with anti-terrorism training facilities?" Lin Mu asked.
"Not entirely. There are Field Command Posts, Radar Bases, Airport Towers, and other military facilities here," Gray Wolf said.
After the introduction, Gray Wolf pointed to one of the rooms. "Go in. Find a place to sit or stand."
"Gray Wolf, what are you..."
"Ostrich, you talk too much. Just get in there," the Medic said, pulling Ostrich along.
Once inside, Lin Mu sat directly on the sofa facing the door. Geng Jihui and Qiang Zi joined him.
Old Cannon sat on a chair in front of the television and used the remote to turn it on.
The sound from the TV caught the Medic's attention. He turned his head and said in surprise, "Crayon Shin-chan."
After saying that, he pulled a dummy over, placed it on the floor, and plopped down on it to watch.
"Team Leader, what do you think they mean by this?" Geng Jihui whispered to Lin Mu from the sofa while watching the other members.
Lin Mu looked at the Medic, who was still watching TV, and said mysteriously, "We're on their turf now. Do you think they'd let us in without a welcoming gift?"
"A welcoming gift? What kind of gift?" Ostrich's eyes lit up as soon as he heard 'welcoming gift'.
Everyone looked at Lin Mu in unison. Even Qiang Zi, who was about to pour water, stopped and waited for the Team Leader's answer.
Bang!
A flash of white light streaked across.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Five consecutive gunshots rang out.
"Clear," Gray Wolf said.
As Gray Wolf's voice sounded, the white light dissipated.
The rest of the B Team remained in their positions, looking at Lin Mu. Qiang Zi stiffly turned his head to look at the kettle in his hand, which was splashing water everywhere, and unconsciously swallowed.
Old Cannon, who had been about to change the channel, stared blankly at the shattered remote in his hand, unable to speak.
The Medic reached out and touched the forehead of the dummy beneath him, then jumped up abruptly and set the dummy upright.
After a moment to process, everyone understood what the Team Leader meant by a "welcoming gift."
"Welcome to the Lone Wolf Special Commando Unit. Lin Mu was right; this is the welcoming gift Lone Wolf prepares for its new members," Gray Wolf said with a smile as he removed his balaclava.
"This will also be one of your future training exercises. From now on, you'll take turns playing hostages and rescuers. Remember, rescue operations must succeed; failure is not permitted."
"I just want to know, how long did it take you from entering the room to finishing?" Ostrich couldn't help but interrupt Gray Wolf.
"Three seconds!"
"Because the effect of a Flashbang only lasts for three seconds," Lin Mu said, standing up from the sofa.
"Three seconds?"
After Ostrich spoke, he looked at the various props around him that had been hit by bullets and fell silent.
"Yes. In the future, every one of you must be able to go from entry to completion in three seconds." Gray Wolf glanced at Lin Mu with some surprise.
