Chapter 1550: Chapter 1550: Courtyard Life (2)

All along, he thought his team was quite impressive. Compared to other units, they were much better.

But unexpectedly, it was just an old man who had left. The team initially thought Huo Cong was just playing around when they saw him crossing the obstacles.

However, to their surprise, he actually was faster than them, which made the teammates who ranked first in various skills extremely dissatisfied.

They even thought Huo Cong must have been lucky; otherwise, how could he be better than them?

Gong Bei saw the dissatisfaction in his men and then looked at Huo Cong asking, "Huo Cong, do you want to compete with my men?"

"Sure!" Huo Cong gladly accepted the challenge. He hadn’t felt this fighting spirit in a long time, reminding him of when he was working before.

Originally, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were strolling around, but they stopped upon seeing the commotion here. They directly came over to watch Huo Cong and the brothers compete.

In fact, Mu Qiancheng had brought Huo Cong here with such a thought, but was afraid Huo Cong wouldn’t be willing, so he didn’t mention it. Now that they voluntarily wanted to compete, he naturally had no objections.

Mu Qiancheng understood his subordinates well. Having won first place in recent competitions, they had become somewhat arrogant.

It was just right for Huo Cong to curb their arrogance and let them understand that there’s always someone better.

Soon, everyone decided on the competition items: boxing, target shooting, obstacle course, and weighted running. Mu Qiancheng didn’t say much about this, but Jiang Xue expressed some concern, saying, "So many events, can Huo Cong handle it?"

"Don’t worry, he can do it." Huo Cong had once been under Mu Qiancheng’s command, and he was fully aware of Huo Cong’s capabilities. Otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to the competition.

Since Mu Qiancheng said so, Jiang Xue couldn’t say much more. Soon, she too was infected by the atmosphere and wanted to try her skills.

However, she ultimately suppressed this thought.

The competition soon began, starting with martial arts. Gong Bei called out the brother who was best at martial arts, rumored to have practiced hard skills since childhood. In the entire team, and even the unit, he was unbeatable.

Huo Cong didn’t care if the opponent was unbeatable within the unit; he just wanted to spar and didn’t mind winning or losing.

As soon as they got on stage, they quickly started fighting. The young comrade’s skills were indeed good, but his practical experience was a bit lacking.

While Huo Cong had left long ago, whether in the unit or with Jiang Xue, he had experienced all sorts of challenges, so his experience was naturally incomparable to someone within the unit.

In the end, they tied.

For the first time tying with someone, the brothers from the unit felt a setback, but they admired Huo Cong immensely.

After the martial arts contest, they took a short break and started the second contest. The targets had long been prepared, ready for competition at any time.

This time, they used three types of guns for target shooting: pistol, machine gun, and sniper rifle. First was the pistol, then the machine gun, and finally the sniper rifle.

This round was between the unit’s sharpshooter and Huo Cong. Although Huo Cong wasn’t a sharpshooter, his shooting skills were good in the army. However, in recent years he retired and hadn’t used guns much.

Otherwise, when he got the urge to shoot, he would even go play with air guns at roadside stalls. Of course, air guns were naturally incomparable to these unit guns, but something was better than nothing.
