Chapter 51: Code Name Massacre!

"Gude!"

"From today onwards, you're mine!"

Buck nodded in satisfaction and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder heavily.

The Hunter Corps had received a big mission a few days ago, and the entire unit had been deployed to the isolation zone. While the task was completed perfectly, there were casualties during the process, and even his direct subordinates had lost one person.

Zhou Yuan, this monster, could now join his direct team!

Although it sounded a bit heartless to say so, what had happened could not be changed. However, accidents that might occur in the future could be avoided. As long as the team's combat strength was strong enough, any unexpected events could be dealt with by smashing them with a single shot!

"Well, don't be so serious."

"There are a few new recruits coming later, and I will assign you to different teams then."

"Before that, let me show you around the Hunter Corps and introduce you to your future comrades."

Buck placed Zhou Yuan's suitcase on the empty bunk opposite him and led him around the dormitory, greeting the resting teammates along the way.

When greeting them, Zhou Yuan did not wear his usual cold expression. The reason why he had put on a cold front when he entered the dormitory was not to show off or cause trouble. It was to make himself look more like a "soldier" and make the veterans treat him as an equal "veteran," rather than a rookie who knew nothing.

Now that Buck was introducing him, he naturally needed to get to know his teammates better.

As it turned out, none of the people here treated him like a rookie anymore. And because of his improved attitude and warm greetings, his teammates were no longer tense, and expressed their eagerness to fight alongside him.

After getting to know the team and his teammates, Buck led Zhou Yuan out of the dormitory.

"Senior, are we going to the armory?" Zhou Yuan asked as he saw Buck lead him to the right side of the dormitory.

"Yes, you need to register your arms."

"Special Operations Forces are different from ordinary infantry regiments. We can customize arms and even take an extra set of arms with us," Buck explained, with a hint of pride.

This was the privilege of the Special Operations Forces that other regiments did not have!

"However, you need to be careful. During non-mission periods, it is best not to load your firearms so as to avoid accidentally injuring yourself while you are sleeping."

Buck chuckled as he explained, still feeling a little proud.

This was the Special Operations Forces, and they had privileges that other regiments did not have!

"Understood!" Zhou Yuan nodded. He had already asked Turner about this in advance.

Special Operations Forces carried live ammunition with them, which was said to make soldiers more familiar with their weapons and improve their readiness for combat. However, this set of arms was not for use during missions, but only for training purposes.

When going on a mission, the armory staff would prepare new arms on the transport aircraft, just like any other regiment.

Sure, if there is an urgent mission and I happen to be wearing combat gear, I can just board a transport plane directly. After all, it's all real stuff.

"By the way, what code name do you want to use?"

"Some people have names that are so long that they can't be said in three seconds. Actually, your name is quite difficult to pronounce, so everyone needs a memorable code name."

"I suggest you don't choose a spoof code name, because the code name needs to be registered and engraved on the gear, becoming your new name in the Hunter Corps."

"Code name... Massacre!"

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and blurted out a somewhat edgy term.

He felt that "Massacre" was very cliché and edgy, but he liked it. Massacring insects suited his style.

Besides, it's just a code name now, but it will be the name of a special operations unit in the future!

"Massacre, that does suit young people indeed," Buck chuckled and shrugged.

As the captain of a special operations unit, he had heard countless nicknames. "Massacre" could only be considered ordinary.

...

"Hey, Brady, you've got work to do!"

"Get this kid a top-notch set of gear, or I'll kick your ass hard!"

Buck was very familiar with the folks at the armory. As soon as they entered the door, they found a lieutenant.

"Shet, this kid looks really young."

"Kid, come over here and take off all your clothes."

Brady glanced at Zhou Yuan and then pulled him to a workbench, motioning for him to take off his clothes and lie down.

Without a second word, Zhou Yuan immediately stripped down to his underwear.

"Wow, wow, wow~"

"Kid, you're almost as well-endowed as me."

Seeing that Zhou Yuan had hidden a baton somewhere, Brady sarcastically muttered, even Buck beside him couldn't help showing envy.

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything.

Having a good endowment is a good thing, but he didn't want to be scrutinized by two men.

"Alright, get up now."

Brady activated the scanner and collected Zhou Yuan's measurements. Then he asked, "What I'm going to make for you now is armor. Do you want to use the template of Buck's squad, or do you want something unique?"

Was there a choice in this?

Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised. He knew that special operations units could customize their gear, but he didn't know that each team member could do so. He thought it was unified for the entire unit.

"Captain, is the gear I saw that night the squad's gear?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yuan looked at Buck and asked.

Buck nodded. "What you saw was my direct squad. The gear of other squads is different."

"I hope my soldiers can use gear they are satisfied with, but the guys in my direct squad insist on using the same as me."

"You could have seen it in the dormitory, but we just came back from a mission and didn't want to wear such thick stuff."

"So, choose gear that will put you in a good mood. That's an order."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhou Yuan saluted and began to consider what kind of gear he should use.

Actually, the performance of the gear was the same, only the appearance looked different.

But Buck was right, wearing gear customized for oneself would indeed put one in a good mood. Just wearing it would feel awesome.

"Let's use the squad's skull gear template, but I want to change the color scheme."

"Pure black background with blood-red vertical stripes and spots on top, the whole set should be like this, including the weapons."

"By the way, can I have two main firearms?"
