Lian Qing automatically ignored the question and said indignantly again, “So your behavior is unfilial.”
“…” Xiao Jing finally understood why she always talked to herself in a mysterious way before. It turned out that she was infected by the words and deeds of this former captain.
Lian Qing narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Jing. From his eyes, he saw disgust, yes, naked disgust, absolute disgust.
Outside the dormitory, the bugle sounded.
Both of them knew that this was the signal to turn off the lights, indicating that the curfew had begun.
Xiao Jing stood up, walked to the door, opened the door himself, and said, “Captain, please be safe along the way.”
Lian Qing pouted his lips in grievance, gently tugged at the corner of Xiao Jing’s clothes, and whispered, “Can you bear to let me walk alone in the dark in the middle of the night?”
“Captain.” Xiao Jing softened her tone and called softly.
“Yes, I’m here.” Lian Qing blinked, full of expectation.
“The captain often taught us that everyone will die one day, and we will be brave men again after eighteen years.” After saying that, Xiao Jing raised her hand and grabbed Lian Qing’s shoulder. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she pushed him out of the door with force, and then closed it with a snap.
Lian Qing stood outside the door, as the cold night wind blew past. He turned around and raised his hand to knock on the door, but he heard a series of orderly footsteps coming from the corridor. He hurriedly looked for a place to hide. Finally, he found that there was no escape. He had to climb up the railing and jump down from the second floor.
Lin Qi went up to the second floor and heard a thump outside the dormitory building. He instinctively looked downstairs. His vision was blocked at night, and he did not observe anything suspicious.
Xiao Jing sat back on the bed, sniffed the stench on her body, walked to the closet, rummaged through the clean military uniform, and decided to take advantage of the night to sneak to the bathhouse for a hearty bath.
“Lieutenant Xiao?” Lin Qi called out from outside the door. Seeing the clothes in his hand, he smiled and said, “Going to take a shower?”
Xiao Jing smiled awkwardly, “Is there something wrong with Lieutenant Colonel Lin?”
“I heard that you were not feeling well. This is the stomach medicine I brought from home. You will recover soon after taking some.” Lin Qi stuffed the medicine box into his hand.
Xiao Jing nodded, “Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant Colonel Lin.”
“Don’t call me Lieutenant Colonel anymore. Those ranks have no effect in the special operations team. There is only the determination of everyone to serve the people against the common enemy. Call me Lin Qi from now on.”
“Well, if you are okay, then I will leave first.” Xiao Jing hurriedly walked towards the stairs holding her clothes, fearing that this stubborn Lin Qi would follow her again.
Lin Qi looked at his back, that was eager to leave and did not follow him stubbornly. He just stood in the corridor for a long time. For some reason, he always couldn’t help wanting to get closer to Xiao Jing, as if seeing him would make his heart full.
Xiao Jing entered the bathhouse and locked the door carefully. The lights in the bathhouse were turned off. It was pitch black. She could only walk forward by feeling around.
Xiao Jing blinked her eyes. It seemed that she touched something with her hand. She touched it again tentatively. It was a little cold and hard.
“Have you touched enough?” A cold voice sounded faintly from above Xiao Jing’s head.
Xiao Jing took a step back reflexively. The bathhouse was very dark, so dark that the sound just now was like a ghost’s howl.
“What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Shen Chengfeng turned on the shower head again. The cold water flowed down and began to boil instantly. However, he seemed to be used to it and continued to wipe his body without paying attention.
Xiao Jing was so stiff that she didn’t even dare to breathe. She hesitated whether to turn around and run away.
“You seem to like locking the door very much.” Shen Chengfeng raised his eyes. He looked at the door with a faint light, then moved his eyes and stared at the small figure who was motionless by feeling.
Xiao Jing was cautiously on guard against whether he would rush over and take off her clothes again if she disagreed with him, and replied carefully, “Isn’t there a separate shower room in the captain’s dormitory?”
“I accidentally corroded the water pipe yesterday.” Shen Chengfeng said it calmly, as if he didn’t care what his hands did.
“…”
“What are you standing there for? Take a shower while there is still some hot water.”
Xiao Jing moved to the corner, and after making sure that the two of them couldn’t see each other in the dark environment, she slowly took off her clothes.
Shen Chengfeng listened to the light sigh coming from the air and turned off the faucet.
Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and the whole bathhouse suddenly became quiet. What was even more terrifying was that she was not sure where her captain was now.
“There will be a training session tomorrow, and we will fight against the Tiange Team of the 238th Regiment.”
Xiao Jing’s body straightened up involuntarily. She could feel the man’s breath very close to her, as if he was only one step away from her.
Shen Chengfeng poked the unresponsive body based on his feeling, and then said: “Have a good rest, tomorrow will be a wonderful day.”
“Yes, Captain.” Xiao Jing did not dare to move when she felt that her captain’s hand was poking her spine.
Before leaving, Shen Chengfeng glanced at the intermittent sound of water flowing from the corner again, and after making sure that there was nothing suspicious, he left the bathhouse without looking back.
Xiao Jing patted her chest with lingering fear, hurriedly wiped her body casually, and couldn’t wait to escape from the bathhouse without even drying the water well.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the bathhouse, her body hit a person’s back heavily.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the man standing three meters away with an expressionless face.
Xiao Ye was about to step forward, but after seeing Xiao Jing following Shen Chengfeng in a hurry, he became speechless.
He pointed at Xiao Jing, whose hair was still dripping with water, in surprise, and then looked at Shen Chengfeng, who was also evaporating water. And for a moment, he felt a lump in his throat.
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and got straight to the point: “What are you doing here again?”
Xiao Ye covered his mouth and coughed lightly, “Did you just take a bath together?”
“Does it matter?” Shen Chengfeng asked back.
Xiao Ye couldn’t catch his breath and was almost scared to death. What should he do? Looking at the situation, could it be that this King of Hell Shen knew Xiao Jing’s identity? Being together with each other in a closed space like a bathhouse, were they doing something unspeakable?
“Yes, can’t we take a bath together?” Xiao Jing followed his words and asked.
Xiao Ye clenched his fists. Sure enough, things had developed to the point where he could not reverse it. Since it was irreversible, he naturally had to think of another way, so he might as well make it bigger.
“Hahaha, of course there is no way. We are all comrades-in-arms. Let alone taking a bath together, even sleeping together is normal.” Xiao Ye walked in with a smile and smelled the strong jasmine scent in the air. “Even the soap smells the same.”
“Fifth Master Xiao should know the rules of the army. After the lights are turned off, no one is allowed to enter or leave the camp without permission. General Xiao Ye knowingly violated the rules.” Shen Chengfeng’s eyes fell coldly on the figure who approached with ill intentions and raised a hand to stop him from getting closer.
“Don’t, we are all from the same country.” Xiao Ye watched Shen Chengfeng deliberately take off his gloves and did not dare to approach him any further.
Shen Chengfeng automatically ignored this unnecessary Xiao Ye and said to Xiao Jing behind him: “You can go back and rest.”
Xiao Jing hugged her clothes and trotted all the way to the dormitory building.
Xiao Ye looked at her fleeing back and smacked his lips, “It’s really like spilled water. With the captain present, even one’s brother is not taken seriously.”
“Are you done talking?” Shen Chengfeng asked.
Xiao Ye didn’t react, then he saw that Shen Chengfeng had already walked away, and his back was full of pride.
Xiao Jing returned to the room and lay back on the bed exhausted. What kind of life had she been living.
The sun shone brightly on the window lattice at dawn, and the sound of car horns continued to blare outside the window.
Xiao Jing sat up reflexively when she heard the sound. She looked out the window sleepily and heard the loud military song. She hurriedly got up from the bed, and then she remembered the training the captain had mentioned last night.
Standing in the center of the playground, Qi Yue saw the late figure, raised his mouth and joked: “Has Lieutenant Xiao gotten enough sleep?”
Xiao Jing stood up straight and replied in a sonorous voice: “Report to the instructor, I was careless and overslept.”
“I thought Lieutenant Xiao was going to miss this training. Why do I see that our Lieutenant Xiao has achieved a little success and started to get arrogant?” Qi Yue circled Xiao Jing twice and pointed to the horizontal bar not far away, “One hundred pull-ups.”
“Yes, instructor.” Xiao Jing stood in front of the horizontal bar, jumped up, and held the bar tightly with both hands, one after another, completing it at a high level.
All the members of the 238th Regiment’s Tiange Team lined up, staring at Xiao Jing who was being punished.
Qin Xiao, the captain of the Tiange team, stomped out the cigarette butt and said with interest: “We can’t just stand there and watch. We should practice what we should practice. We will be in actual combat soon. This is not a joke. This time we are fighting against the powerful Iron Eagle Special Forces.”
“Captain Qin, you are joking. Although the Tiange Special Forces has just been promoted to a higher level in the past two years, it is still an evenly matched opponent. It is hard to predict who will win or lose in this training camp.” Qi Yue’s mouth corners rose slightly in a joking manner. He looked through the list of participants in the training camp and said, “I forgot to say that our captain is also going to participate this time.”
“…” Qin Xiao frowned, “This is bullying.”
“Captain Qin can of course participate. After all, when leading troops to fight, a general cannot just hide behind his troops.” Qi Yue said.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and didn’t say anything more. He turned around and discussed with his deputy captain in a low voice.
The helicopter hovered high in the sky. The entire Iron Eagle team was fully armed, and each of them looked serious, as if they were really going into battle to kill the enemy.
“Everyone remember, the 238th Regiment is famous for its cunning tricks. They are good at sneak attacks from behind and are mainly defensive. So when we attack, in addition to being careful of their baits, we must also be careful of our own backs.” Qi Yue spread out the map and gestured at several dangerous areas that need to be paid attention to. The places Qi Yue pointed to were all densely forested areas that were good for defense but not good for attack. Each place used nature as the most perfect cover, which could almost hide a person impeccably.
“Pay special attention to their snipers, the brothers Zhu Hong and Zhu Qi. They are currently ranked in the top five in sniping ability in the entire army and can easily shoot enemies within 500 meters.” Qi Yue said again.
“Lang Cheng and Jin Shan are also sniper experts. Although they are not as good as the two brothers, they should not be underestimated.” Mu Xichi said.
“I have studied this. In terms of comprehensive ability and combat ability, I am not as good as the two brothers of the Zhu family, but I can give it a try. After all, snipers rely too much on environmental factors. As long as there is a slight deviation in the environment, the direction of the bullet will be affected.” Lang Cheng gently wiped his sniper rifle, but the flames of war had spread in his eyebrows and eyes.
Lin Qi touched Xiao Jing’s hand imperceptibly, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, “Wait a minute, act with me.”
Xiao Jing nodded, “This training seems to be different from usual.”
“You have also seen the ability of the War Wings Team. The special operations team is not the small-scale training we usually deal with. I heard that this time the Tiange came with great force. They have carefully studied our Iron Eagle’s fighting style. Maybe they will take two heads from our two recruits first.”
“Although this is a bit presumptuous, we are now a regular team member after all. It is not an easy job to kill us.” Xiao Jing smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.
The helicopter slowly descended and landed on the tarmac. Everyone entered the deep forest in an orderly manner.
This was the Liaoshan Plateau in the northeast. Although it was summer now, the plateau was always cold.
Xiao Jing shivered as she entered the forest. She looked at the humid forest and panted a little too much.
“This is a plateau. If you feel you can’t stand it, take some oxygen and don’t be too stubborn.” Lin Qi put his gun back into the holster and prepared all the weapons.
Xiao Jing finally understood why everyone carried an oxygen bottle in their backpack. It was to prevent emergencies.
Lin Qi handed the assembled MP5 submachine gun to Xiao Jing and said, “This is a burst submachine gun. It is shorter and lighter than a rifle, has a higher rate of fire, fierce firepower, and a lighter support force. It has better combat effectiveness within 200 meters and is more suitable for you than a rifle or a sniper rifle.”
Xiao Jing picked up the weapon and studied it carefully. It was indeed light and more flexible than the weapons she usually carried. She smiled, “As expected of someone from the 118th Regiment, I really made a big joke with my faux pas.”
“You will do better than me in the future. Let’s go. It’s time for us to set off.” Lin Qi carried his backpack and moved quickly into the combat zone in pairs.
The whole forest was dead silent. Even the falling leaves would not make a sound, not to mention the earth-shaking bombing sound when the war spread.
In a quiet environment, everyone would remain fully alert. In such an atmosphere, it was easiest to accidentally expose your position.
“Bang!” The bullet came out of the muzzle like a poisonous snake that suddenly opened its bloody mouth and broke through the air with cold air.
Xiao Jing cautiously jumped forward, avoiding the sudden attack from behind.
Lin Qi crawled forward and successfully found a place to hide. He set up his sniper rifle, aimed at the bushes where the gunshot had just been fired, and with a click of his index finger, the bullet flew out with a bang.
The ambushed members of the Tiange team rolled several times and disappeared from the exposed bushes without a trace.
Xiao Jing carefully crawled towards Lin Qi and whispered, “Sure enough, they are not small characters.”
“The Tiange team is defensive and not offensive. They ran away when they were exposed, looking for the next opportunity, so they will come again.” Lin Qi patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder and motioned him to follow him.
The sunlight squeezed out from the gaps between the trees little by little and fell on the mud as brilliantly as starlight.
“Wait.” Xiao Jing grabbed Lin Qi’s arm and sniffed the air. There was a faint smell of tobacco.
Lin Qi looked around, and the whole forest was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
“Seven o’clock in the southwest direction.” Xiao Jing shouted.
Lin Qi raised the sniper rifle alertly, and with a click of his index finger, the bullet flew out as if wearing wings.
“Bang.”
The bullet landed on the stone, and at the same time a bullet flew out from the crack of the stone, aimed directly at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing pulled the trigger, and a bullet shot out of the muzzle. The two bullets touched in the air and suddenly exploded.
“Hide.” Lin Qi rolled on the ground twice and successfully found a bunker to cover himself.
Xiao Jing gestured to him, “I’ll be the bait.”
Lin Qi shook his head, “Too dangerous.”
Xiao Jing nodded affirmatively, “Your shooting skills are better than mine, it’s up to you next.”
Lin Qi frowned. Although the forest was a little damp and cold due to the heavy yin energy, sweat still oozed out of his forehead involuntarily. He pointed his gun at Xiao Jing. As long as there was any disturbance, he would do his best to protect his comrade.
Xiao Jing moved through the grass carefully, which was one person tall, successfully hiding her small body perfectly.
Time passed very slowly, and the whole space seemed to be on the freeze button.
“Stupid.” The abrupt voice of the third person sounded from the big tree.
Xiao Jing instinctively raised her head and saw a man falling from the sky in the sun. The muzzle of his gun was facing her, but the next moment he turned the muzzle of the gun, and with a bang, the bullet shot out and penetrated the two-finger-wide stone crack.
The person hiding behind the stone let out a shrill cry, and then a white smoke spread from his body. According to the rules, he was killed.
Before Xiao Jing could react, her body paused, one hand hugged her waist, and then the two of them entangled and rolled into the bushes. She heard the sound of compact gunfire in the air and felt the vibration caused by the bullets penetrating her eardrums. She was startled and realized that the other party had also used himself as bait.
Shen Chengfeng grabbed Xiao Jing and protected her behind him. He turned his head and his eyes became focused. Bullets flew away one after another, like a giant dragon swallowing up mountains and rivers, swallowing up the entire enemy area in one breath.
