Chapter 4

Hastily returning home, the items in the rented apartment were clearly disturbed.

Anyang fell onto the sofa with a sigh of relief, recalling the reminder his phone had issued on the street. He hurriedly took out his phone again to check, which was also the reason for his hurried return.

"Escape from Amazon!"

Anyang repeated these words. This domestic film was probably known to few, especially students, as it was almost always shown during high school and college military training, promoting patriotism.

He didn't have many impressions of the movie, but one of them was the inhumane training that the special forces from various countries endured, seemingly challenging the limits of the human body every day.

"System, do you think that as an ordinary office worker who has never even served as a conscript, I can handle this elite special forces training that is almost inhuman? Aren't you afraid that you will kill your only chosen one?"

The phone remained silent for a moment, then a line of text appeared, and a cold voice sounded.

"Chosen One, Basic Combat Proficiency grants professional-level combat skills, Basic Firearms Proficiency grants professional-level firearm control skills, and Basic Military Proficiency grants special forces-level military skills. You also have two unassigned skill points and three unassigned physical attribute points, as well as a one cubic meter personal space. According to the system's judgment, the difficulty of Prelude 2 is also simple. Please allocate the points appropriately."

"Uh... Okay."

Anyang put down his phone, but picked it up again after a short while.

"System, what does 'Prelude' mean? Is it like a prelude?"

"Yes."

"Then... you don't plan to explain it further?"

"Prelude consists of three simple tasks, mainly to give the chosen one abilities and adaptability beyond the norm, laying the foundation for future time travel."

Anyang nodded and put down his phone. He walked to the study, turned on the computer and browser, and quickly typed in "Escape from Amazon," reading it very carefully.

The plot of "Escape from Amazon" is actually very simple, with no particularly outstanding points. It mainly emphasizes patriotism and military honor, with all the plot elements serving to build up these two aspects.

After finishing "Escape from Amazon," Yang thought for a moment and decided on the allocation of the points. He took out his phone and said:

"Allocate the skill points evenly between Combat Proficiency and Firearms Proficiency, do not draw new skills, and allocate the physical attribute points evenly between Constitution, Speed, and Strength."

"Allocation complete."

"Whoa~"

Anyang felt an unprecedented surge of strength in his body, feeling as light as a feather and as strong as a bull. These improvements brought a deep sense of comfort.

Immediately after, a flood of knowledge surged into his brain, enhancing his Combat Proficiency and Firearms Proficiency, causing intense pain that left him dazed for a long time.

After a long while, Yang's body was drenched in sweat. He took off his clothes, revealing a well-defined, steel-like, yet aesthetically pleasing set of muscles. The extra fat around his waist had completely disappeared.

These muscles were not intimidating, without large biceps or prominently defined abs and chest muscles. They were almost unnoticeable under clothing, but no one could underestimate their explosive power.

Strength and speed are complementary; strength can bring speed, and speed can enhance strength. With strength and speed twice that of an average person, the physical attributes were astonishing.

Intermediate Combat Proficiency included many more powerful techniques, most of which were used to deliver fatal blows, incorporating the essence of known and unknown combat techniques. In this regard, he had surpassed a large part of the elite special forces and could compete with professional fighters. Intermediate Firearms Proficiency emphasized gun sense and intuition, making him feel like a seasoned veteran who could often hit the enemy's head without aiming.

Combined with strength, speed, and physical attributes twice that of an average person, in terms of firearms and combat, he could now easily defeat elite special forces. However, in other aspects, he was far inferior, as special forces are all-around, not focusing on a single ability like professional shooters or fighters, but prioritizing battlefield needs.

Anyang took a deep breath, and his tense muscles relaxed. He picked up his phone again, and a line of data appeared, as if the system was in perfect sync with his thoughts.

After watching the movie again, Anyang took two ten-thousand dollars to the Bank of China and exchanged them for RMB, totaling a little over 120,000.

Considering the plot, he specially went to the supermarket to buy a lot of canned beef, luncheon meat, and other items, all of which he put into his personal space, filling the one cubic meter space to the brim, ensuring he was well-prepared.

Three days later.

Anyang called Ji Weiwei, telling her he was feeling down and wanted to go on a trip, and that he would be back in ten days or, at most, a month. He then entered the world of "Escape from Amazon."

August 1999, South America.

An armed helicopter roared forward. Anyang slowly opened his eyes, seeing several European special forces soldiers chewing gum, fully armed, with strong engine noise in his ears. Through the window, he could see the rapidly receding scenery.

Looking down, he saw himself in a camouflage uniform, wearing a helmet, holding an M16 assault rifle, and carrying a heavy tactical backpack. A pistol and various equipment were attached to his belt, and a number tag on his chest read "6."

"Isn't this the number of Lieutenant Michael of the Leopard Paratrooper Cross-Country Assault Team? Did I replace him?"

Anyang gradually understood. This was the beginning of the plot. He was on the armed helicopter, representing the Chinese special forces, and his two teammates, the main characters of the original plot, were Yang Hui and Hu Xiaolong.

The Amazon was hot, and with full gear, all the special forces were sweating profusely. Anyang closed his eyes and began to recall the plot.

The plot of this movie was terrible, and the system's main purpose in bringing him into this world was to temper his will. With his knowledge of the plot, he could avoid most crises, except for the daily painful training.

A rough voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Time is up."

Anyang opened his eyes to see a face full of stubble, with skin tanned to a bronze color.

"Prepare to rappel, get your gear ready, stand up, quickly."

Anyang quickly stood up and walked to the door with the special forces from various countries.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The crocodile instructor kept urging.

Anyang, Yang Hui, and Hu Xiaolong shook hands, grabbed the rope, and rappelled down, landing in the Amazon River, which submerged their tactical boots. They followed the crowd forward.

The armed helicopter followed them, and the crocodile instructor, holding a megaphone, shouted from the air:

"You must reach the assembly point within two hours, or you will be considered to have given up."

Two hours later, the trainees from various countries' special forces arrived at the Hunter School and began to assemble.

A group of soldiers in white ceremonial uniforms stood straight, holding the flags of various countries. A black car drove in, followed by a review by General Cody Ross.

"Attention!"

"At ease!"

Following the crocodile instructor's commands, Anyang mechanically performed various actions, exuding a strong military presence. No one would have guessed that he was an office worker who had never received military training.

General Ross, in his major general uniform, stepped out of the car, his boots making a dull sound on the ground.

The crocodile instructor turned to face General Ross and saluted sharply.

"All personnel assembled!"

"Begin."

"Yes, sir!"

The crocodile instructor turned back, his voice booming.

"Begin roll call."

Anyang, replacing Lieutenant Michael of the Leopard Paratrooper Cross-Country Assault Team, stood at the front and was the first to step forward.

"Reporting, Lieutenant Anyang of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Special Forces."

"Lieutenant Rossini of the Alpine Royal Navy Amphibious Assault Team."

"Lieutenant Joseph of the Red Beret Lightning Field Assault Team."

When the main character, Wang Hui, stepped forward, he loudly said, "Lieutenant Wang Hui of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Special Forces."

Next was the second main character, a small but highly skilled fighter, Hu Xiaolong: "Reporting, General, I am Lieutenant Hu Xiaolong of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Special Forces!"

Following this, General Ross gave a speech. Only Anyang knew that the big boss of the international drug organization had already entered the no-fly zone set up by the Hunter School, but facing a special forces soldier who could predict the future, he would be powerless and relegated to a supporting role.

During the physical examination, Anyang, as he wished, met the female lead, Medical Officer Lina, who shared the same birthday as him and was the daughter of the founder of the Hunter School, General Hunter Ross.

When he took off his clothes, Anyang's muscle lines were much more defined than those of the special forces who mainly trained for endurance, making Medical Officer Lina's eyes shine.

After the physical examination, the crocodile instructor began to assert his authority and form groups.

Anyang was number 6, Hu Xiaolong was number 5, Yang Hui was number 7, and the team leader was number 8, with number 13, a black man named Joseph, forming the second group.

The team leader originally looked down on the two Chinese, but with Anyang's addition, three out of five team members were Chinese, so he looked down on the three Chinese.

In the original plot, he requested that Yang Hui and Hu Xiaolong leave his team. At this point, he still requested that the three Chinese leave his team, but as expected, he was rejected.
