“The third rule is no striking the throat or groin, including scratching or grabbing.”
“The fourth rule is no using fingers or sharp objects to attack the eyes, nostrils, or mouth.”
“Lastly, no kicking to the head with the toe. You’re all wearing combat boots, and a kick to the head with those boots could easily knock someone out. Any objections?” Zhou Chao concluded, looking at the two.
Both Lin Wu and Lev shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.
Seeing their agreement, Zhou Chao nodded and stepped back a few paces, then shouted loudly, “Begin!”
Lev and Lin Wu, who had been waiting eagerly, let out roars and immediately engaged. For a moment, it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand.
Due to the rules set by Zhou Chao earlier, the fight mainly consisted of punches and kicks, which got the onlookers fired up with excitement.
After about ten rounds of fighting, both of them stepped back a few steps in tacit agreement. Just as Zhou Chao thought they would continue, he saw them holding their arms and legs, hissing in pain.
“I didn’t expect your punches to be so powerful,” Lin Wu said, massaging his own arm and looking at Lev.
“You’re not bad either. Judging by your skills, you must have been in the special forces of China,” Lev replied, massaging his own arm.
Lin Wu didn’t deny it, nodding and saying, “That’s right, and I guess you’re the same.”
One of Lev’s subordinates proudly said from the sidelines, “Our boss is retired from the Alpha Team!”
“The Alpha Team?” Lin Wu looked at Lev across from him with some uncertainty.
Lev nodded calmly, confirming that he was indeed from the Alpha Team! “What do you mean by the Alpha Team?” Zhou Chao asked with a puzzled expression, looking at the two.
“Boss, you don’t know about the Alpha Team?” Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao with some surprise.
“I don’t know. Should I?”
“Boss, let me put it in another way, and you’ll definitely understand,” Lin Wu said mysteriously.
“Don’t beat around the bush, just say it!” Zhou Chao frowned slightly.
Seeing the expression on his boss’s face, Lin Wu hurriedly said, “Boss, another name for the Alpha Team is Alpha.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao was somewhat shocked. “Alpha, is it the Alpha I’m thinking of?”
Both Lev and Lin Wu nodded.
Zhou Tao’s heart was filled with immense waves. The name Alpha was just too famous.
Every military enthusiast had the strongest special forces in their hearts. Even military enthusiasts who were not very familiar with Russia would not deny the Alpha Team’s status in the special forces.
For anyone with even the slightest interest in military affairs, the name Alpha would not be unfamiliar. After all, it was one of the top-ranking special forces in the world.
The Alpha Team, originally formed as a special combat unit under the Soviet State Security Committee (KGB), was codenamed the A Combat Group.
Now it belongs to the A Department of the Special Operations Center of the Russia Federation Security Bureau.
The full name is the Alpha Special Forces of the Russia Federation Security Bureau.
This legendary special forces unit first appeared on the world stage during an operation code-named Storm 333 on December 27,1979.
At that time, the Alpha Team participated in the assault on the Prime Minister’s Palace and captured the Tajbeg Palace, killing the then-President Amin. This operation was considered their first real baptism of “combat.” Every member of the Alpha Team was a king among soldiers. Zhou Chao didn’t expect Lev to have such a background.
Zhou Chao carefully observed Lev, occasionally nodding in approval. Lev, feeling a bit uneasy, couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “I hope the boss isn’t into guys. He didn’t even bring a girl along for the outing, which doesn’t fit his status.”
If Zhou Chao knew what Lev was thinking, he’d probably give him a good thrashing.
“Are you two still going to fight?” Zhou Chao asked.
Lin Wu glanced at Lev across from him and waved his hand. “Forget it, boss. I’m no match for Lev.”
“Alright, you step down, and I’ll take over,” Zhou Chao said, starting to limber up.
Watching Zhou Chao getting ready, Lev scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Boss, if something bad happens later, don’t hold it against me.”
Just as Zhou Chao was about to respond, Lin Wu burst into laughter. “Lev, don’t worry. You should hope the boss goes easy on you.”
Lev, somewhat incredulous, looked at Zhou Chao calmly and then turned to Lin Wu. “Boss, is he really that powerful?”
Lin Wu chuckled mysteriously. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
He had suffered losses at Zhou Chao’s hands before. Thinking back to when he and Todd faced the boss together, they were both defeated by Zhou Chao alone. Considering Todd’s background in the SEALs, and Lev being stronger than Lin Wu, Lev couldn’t afford to underestimate Zhou Chao.
At this moment, Lev put away his disdain, realizing that his boss was not to be underestimated.
“Lev, are you ready? I’m about to make my move!” Zhou Chao said, stretching his body.
“Bring it on. Let me see what you’ve got, boss,” Lev said, assuming a defensive stance.
Before Lev could react, Zhou Chao charged towards him. By the time Lev regained his composure, Zhou Chao was already in front of him.
Lev barely had time to defend himself before Zhou Chao’s elbow strike forced him to retreat several steps, leaving his arm numb. Before he could react, Zhou Chao’s chokehold brought him down to the ground.
The onlookers were stunned, unable to believe their eyes. Especially Lev’s subordinates, who watched in disbelief as their boss was pinned to the ground by Zhou Chao in less than 10 seconds.
Lev gradually came to his senses. “I got knocked out by the boss.”
Looking up at Zhou Chao’s faint smile, he realized that his previous provocation was nothing but a joke.
“Boss, I concede,” Lev said respectfully as he stood up. At this moment, admiration filled Lev’s eyes as he recognized Zhou Chao as a true powerhouse.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao patted Lev on the shoulder with a smile. “You did well. Even my personal bodyguards can’t match you.”
Meanwhile, Lin Wu, on the side, heard the boss’s words and couldn’t help but look awkward. “Boss, why are you rubbing salt in my wounds?”
Everyone burst into laughter at that moment.
“Alright, it’s getting late, and the weather is getting colder. Let’s all go back and rest.”
As soon as Zhou Chao mentioned it, everyone felt the chill of the evening breeze and couldn’t help but shiver.
Lin Wu and Chen Nan followed Zhou Chao into the villa, while Lev didn’t think much of their behavior. After all, he wasn’t aware of how loud his snoring could be.
The night passed quietly, except for the howling wind and occasional distant wolf cries. Zhou Chao slept comfortably throughout the night.
The next day, Zhou Chao reluctantly got out of bed after sleeping until late morning. He wasn’t used to the below-freezing temperatures at night, having spent most of his time in the south. He lingered in bed for a while, as the warmth of the blankets was enticing.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
A crisp knocking echoed through the room, accompanied by Lin Wu’s booming voice. “Boss, wake up! Didn’t you say you were going to the mountains to test the guns today?”
Zhou Chao remembered yesterday’s plan and quickly got out of bed. “Got it, I’ll be up in a moment.”
Soon, Zhou Chao put on his down jacket and descended from the upper floor. He saw five or six long tables set up in the clearing in front of the villa, with many firearms placed on them. Lev and his men were inspecting the guns.
The visitors from China were gathered around, eagerly examining the various firearms on the tables, their eyes wide with excitement.
As Zhou Chao emerged from the villa, everyone stood up respectfully and greeted him, “Good morning, boss.”
Perhaps it was because of the fight with Lev last night, but Zhou Chao noticed a hint of admiration in everyone’s eyes as they looked at him..
