After personally demonstrating his CQB strength to the S.A.S rookies, Lu Qi said goodbye to everyone, returned to the barracks, and returned to his own room.

It’s so exciting to just show off and run away!

Looking at the almost unchanged room furnishings, as well as the spotless sheets and tabletops, it can be seen that the logistics cleaning staff in the base did not relax at all during Lu Qi's absence.

Bang!

Without even taking off his shoes, Lu Qi jumped onto the soft bed. Lu Qi rested his head on his arms and looked at the snow-white ceiling. He couldn't help but think of everything that had just happened.

Lu Qi suddenly participated in the CQB test. Apart from being a whim, Lu Qi wanted to take the opportunity to show off his muscles in front of these future backbones of S.A.S.

The army is a place that emphasizes the whole. At the same time, it is also a circle where the strong are respected.

Lu Qi did this just to tell these newcomers who had just joined S.A.S. that he was much stronger than he looked!

In fact, there is another reason why Lu Qi suddenly participated in the CQB test, and that was to test the power of his skills.

As early as when Mao Guo was recuperating, Lu Qi discovered that after more than half a year of frequent use, his special skill [Bullet Time LV3] had been upgraded to [Bullet Time LV4]!

After testing, he found that the time that [Bullet Time] could be maintained increased from three seconds to four seconds.

In other words, after he turns on [Bullet Time], he can have a longer reaction time.

Don't underestimate this extra second. There are a lot of things that can be done in one second.

This is why Lu Qi was able to break his own test record just after recovering from his injury...

...

After returning to Credenhill, Lu Qi began physical training, trying to restore his physical condition to the peak state before the injury.

Participate in obstacle courses with the new members of S.A.S., practice shooting at the shooting range, and lift weights together...

Soon, the physical fitness that had declined due to injuries and vodka slowly recovered with a lot of training.

As for missions, perhaps because the big trouble of Zakayev has just been solved, the extremists in Mauritius are busy with political struggles and are not causing trouble everywhere, so the frequency of S.A.S missions is not high.

In fact, staying at the base, training day and night, and then waiting for orders, ready to go out at any time, is the daily life of S.A.S.

For example, Lu Qi and Soap had to participate in a series of actions on the first day they joined. This is extremely rare and can be considered a bit unlucky.

Three weeks after returning to Credenhill, Lu Qi took his first S.A.S vacation...

At Price's suggestion, the four members of Team B made an appointment to go to Hereford Racecourse to watch a horse race.

The British are very fond of horse racing.

Everyone from the queen and the royal family to ordinary people like this event very much, where they can enjoy the sun and beer and socialize.

Price also made no secret of the fact that he loved horse racing.

When Price arrived at the racecourse, he suddenly seemed to be a different person and became talkative.

Not only did he enthusiastically introduce the rules of horse racing to Lu Qi and Zao Zao, who were new to the racecourse, but also encouraged them to place bets and experience the charm of horse racing for themselves.

As for Gates, he put on an expression like "I knew it would be like this" and shrugged at the two people who looked at him for help, saying that he was helpless.

Since it was a rare trip, Lu Qi followed Uncle Pu's advice and randomly picked a horse that he liked and bet ten pounds on it, just as a small bet...

Brother Soap, on the other hand, picked a horse named "McGregor" and placed bets.

It is worth mentioning that they have a teammate with the same name as this horse!

This may be why soap chose it...

"Hurry! Baby, hurry up! Catch up!"

"Please! Haven't you eaten? Hurry up and pass it!!"

When the game started, a more interesting scene appeared:

Price, who was dressed in casual clothes and staring closely at the racecourse, cheering for his horse, looked almost the same as the bald uncles with big bellies and beer in his hands around him.

The same goes for Gates, who sits next to Price.

Noticing how devoted the two of them were, Brother Soap, who was sitting with Lu Qi, picked up his beer, took a sip, and said casually:

"To be honest, even if it wins, jumps over the fence, does a 360-degree somersault, and then kicks the queen in the face, I don't care at all..."

Glancing at the bustling auditorium, Brother Soap continued:

"I just saw someone saying hello to the horse racing. It's so damn weird... They invested so much emotion and got so little in return. Why are they still so obsessed with this gambling?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi also picked up the beer, took a sip, and then said:

"Perhaps, what they want is not a reward, but a channel to vent their feelings..."

Looking at the roaring, blushing and thick-necked spectators around him, Soap couldn't help but think deeply:

"A channel for catharsis..."

...

After watching the horse racing, the four of them went to a bar called "Heart of the Wilderness" in the city.

"Four glasses of dark beer."

Price, who had just placed an order with the bartender, stopped Lu Qi from taking money out of his pocket and said:

"As usual, the first round is mine. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but shrugged, spread his hands, and said nonchalantly: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

The four of them had just sat down at a booth in the corner of the bar. Soon, four cups of brown, room-temperature dark beer were brought to them by the waiter.

After three rounds of drinking and several glasses of wine, Price seemed to remember something, and then he said:

"By the way, there is one thing that I might want to tell you in advance."

After waving his hands and waiting for the three of them to move their heads closer, Price said in a low and hoarse voice:

"I was told by superiors that the Americans are very interested in the joint action group we temporarily formed last time. They also specially proposed a cooperation plan to Downing Street, intending to formally form a special force composed of British, American and allied countries.

, a temporarily formed operational task force."

"Operation Task Force? Why?"

"In order to deal with the threat of super terrorists like Zakayev, after all, those damn bastards cannot be solved so easily..."

Unlike Soap and Gates' confusion and surprise, the moment he heard the news, Lu Qi had only one thought in his mind:
Chapter completed!
