Chapter 210: The Most Badass Trio From Rongshu Village!
Wu Liu Yi, Xu Sanduo, and Cheng Cai, the three of them, after two days and two nights of persistence, withstood hunger and cold, pressure and tests, and finally found the reference point.
The subsequent plot was also like the original plot, but slightly different from the original plot.
In the original plot, it was also these three who walked here, and now it was also these three who walked here.
But compared to the selfish Cheng Cai in the original drama, plus Wu Liu Yi with his lumbar and leg injuries, and Xu Sanduo who had no special talents and relied entirely on the protagonist buff to shine.
The current trio was completely different, all having received all-around enhancements.
Wu Liu Yi without lumbar or leg injuries, his combat effectiveness maintained at the peak of his life; Cheng Cai, after two years of cultivation by Chen Jun, had already learned about the team; Xu Sanduo, with fewer highlights but higher quality training.
The current strength of the three of them was at least several times greater than in the original plot.
In the original plot, they could pass easily, only encountering a small problem at the end, falling behind one step because Wu Liu Yi’s injury rendered him useless.
Now with the fully upgraded and enhanced plus version of the trio, the subsequent observation had no difficulty at all.
The three, relying on the adrenaline brought by excitement, and their strong bodies honed over many years of accumulation, easily swam across the “Shuipaozi” at night.
The lake water, cold and piercing like needle pricks, could not stop their steps.
After swimming across Shuipaozi to the opposite shore, they used the cover of night for close reconnaissance, easily obtaining position intelligence and drawing a position map.
Then the three did not alert the position soldiers, quietly low-crawling to the forest on the right side.
Ignoring their drenched clothes like ice armor, freezing them so their teeth chattered, they exerted all their strength for the final sprint.
Finally, at the moment dawn arrived, when the morning light from the east sprinkled over the edge of the woods.
Xu Sanduo, Cheng Cai, and Wu Liu Yi passed through the forest and all saw the camouflaged off-road vehicle parked at the edge of the woods, with Yuan Lang standing right by the car door.
Compared to the original plot where they arrived quite late, with many others competing almost together.
Some even arrived one step ahead!
Now Wu Liu Yi and the other two were far ahead; not to mention someone arriving before them at the car, even waiting another hour no one would come.
The three, carefully trained by Chen Jun, had strength far superior to the competitors from other companies.
Yuan Lang, with a cigarette in his mouth leaning against the door, saw the three running out, exactly the three seedlings he wanted most from the beginning.
And they arrived nearly two hours ahead of the scheduled end time of the final assessment.
Yuan Lang’s mouth curved up!!
This meant his eye for people was not wrong; this time he had truly selected three good seedlings.
“Congratulations, you succeeded.”
Yuan Lang opened his arms to welcome Wu Liu Yi and the other two, then patted the car roof and said: “Get in the car, seats are full, I’ll take you back.”
“Great, haha.”
“We succeeded, haha.”
“We’re awesome, the three of us are the most awesome, our Rongshu Village team is the most awesome.”
Clenching their last breath to rush to the car, the three could no longer suppress their inner excitement and joy, hugging together and jumping excitedly.
The three young men from Rongshu Village had indeed achieved the most awesome Rongshu Village team.
Yuan Lang watched the excited trio, half-squinting his eyes.
He thought of his younger self!
…
The selection assessment for A Detachment ended successfully, and these three young men from Rongshu Village in Steel Seventh Company stood out from hundreds of people, successfully reaching the end.
They earned the chance to go to the mysterious A Detachment base to participate in the selection training camp that gathered elite warriors from the entire army.
That was a greater challenge.
Also a further exploitation of their strength.
Although Cheng Cai and Wu Liu Yi both carried orders and their aspirations were not to stay in A Detachment, they too wanted to compete with the elite warriors from the entire army there, proving themselves on a bigger stage.
Constantly seeking to prove their own value, seeking the path in life to achieve themselves.
This was the core of life!
Xu Sanduo couldn’t articulate so many great truths, but the meaningful things he held in his heart were essentially also about proving himself.
…
Yuan Lang personally sent them back to Steel Seventh Company, where Chen Jun and Hong Xingguo personally went out to greet them.
It was both courtesy to Yuan Lang, after all, a lieutenant colonel leader.
And to encourage Wu Liu Yi and the other two, who had won honor for the company again, allowing Steel Seventh Company to take all three spots, personally welcoming them back to the company.
Yuan Lang seemed quite hurried today, not even getting off the car.
He just explained two things.
First, for Chen Jun to prepare well, hand over relevant work in advance; this time going to A Detachment as teaching assistant, expected to be about three months.
Second, to tell Chen Jun and Wu Liu Yi and the other two.
In one week, he would come here again to personally pick up the three of them to A Detachment.
There were dozens of people for this training camp, and for the squadron leader to personally come to the company to pick them up was giving full face to Chen Jun and Wu Liu Yi and the others.
After Yuan Lang finished explaining and drove away, Chen Jun and the group entered the main entrance and returned to the company building.
Just as they entered the building, they ran into Company Commander Gao Cheng!
It turned out Gao Cheng had been watching here all along, but due to personal reasons, plus not liking Yuan Lang, he hadn’t gone out to greet together.
Wu Liu Yi and the other two saw the company commander and happily surged forward to report the good news.
“Company Commander, we succeeded, all three of us have been selected for A Detachment training camp.”
“Company Commander, we didn’t bring shame to Seventh Company.”
“Company Commander good, I didn’t bring shame either, hehe.”
Gao Cheng saw the three with faces full of joy, and truly didn’t want them to leave, even Xu Sanduo he was reluctant to let go.
After all, he had watched Xu Sanduo grow step by step.
There was inevitably emotion.
But thinking that Chen Jun had promised to bring them back, treating this trip as learning, he suppressed the urge to curse and barely steadied his emotions.
“Since you’re going, do well, don’t go outside and bring shame, and listen more to the deputy company commander.”
Gao Cheng said this with a stern face, then turned and left.
“Old Chen, I’ll go chat with Old Gao, the remaining work here I’ll leave to you.”
Hong Xingguo saw that Gao Cheng was in a bad mood and knew what the conflict in his heart was, deciding to go talk and comfort him.
“Okay, I’ll handle the rest.” Chen Jun nodded and said.
“Is the company commander unhappy?”
Xu Sanduo looked at the company commander’s departing back, asking cautiously.
“Our Steel Seventh Company is like one big family, you’re like the children, the company chief officers like the parents; when the kids go far away, parents will worry, the company commander is reluctant to let you go far, worried about you, it’s fine.”
Chen Jun explained for the leadership, then smiled: “In one week it’s training camp; that place, the training camp is like hell, you must be psychologically prepared.
These few days I’ll decide to give you a holiday, relax however you want, eat as much as you can, want to go play just report.”
Chen Jun knew how torturous the training camp was, also like giving the three a preemptive shot.
“Great, thanks Deputy Company Commander, I’ve been here two years and haven’t seen the capital yet, I’ll take leave to go see it.”
Cheng Cai got more and more excited thinking about it, wanting to call the two along, saying with great interest: “Squad Leader, Three Stupefied, the three of us go together, just right to have company.”
“Okay, okay, we’ll go together.” Xu Sanduo grinned showing his big white teeth, nodding repeatedly.
“Okay, then tomorrow, we’ll go together then, together ask the company commander for leave, not sure if it’ll be approved, Deputy Company Commander you have to help us.” Wu Liu Yi laughed.
“That definitely no problem, then I’ll drive you to the station.” Chen Jun agreed outright.
Although Steel Seventh Company belonged to the army guarding the capital, the barracks area was less than a hundred kilometers from the capital, but soldier characteristics restricted too much.
Most people serve a lifetime here without a chance to see the capital.
In the original plot, Shi Jin who served until third-level non-commissioned officer retirement, over a dozen years total, only saw it once at the end when retiring.
If Cheng Cai and the three wanted to see the capital, without their excellent performance plus Chen Jun’s promise.
Such a small request…
Probably could only remain a dream!
With Chen Jun personally promising to drive them to town to catch the bus, the matter was basically settled, and Wu Liu Yi and the three were so happy their eyebrows flew up.
At that moment.
Wu Liu Yi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: “Deputy Company Commander, Bai Tie Jun wasn’t feeling well last night, do you know his situation now?”
Hearing Wu Liu Yi mention it, Xu Sanduo and Cheng Cai also remembered, looking at Chen Jun with concern.
“Bai Tie Jun had a minor issue, not serious, had a small appendectomy, probably still needs to stay in the division field hospital a few days.” Chen Jun said.
In these times information wasn’t very developed, many common sense things known to later generations, many people here didn’t know.
Hearing surgery, Wu Liu Yi and the three panicked.
“Ah? Had surgery?”
“Surgery is a small matter?”
“Good thing we didn’t make him persist, otherwise probably big trouble.”
Seeing the three chattering noisily, Chen Jun couldn’t help laughing: “Appendectomy is indeed not serious, normal people cut it out fine, you three don’t need to be so alarmed.
But after all it’s surgery, and you’ve shared hardships to the end, now you have time, so I’ll make the call.
You three go back now put your things away, then assemble at the main entrance, I’ll go to the garage get a car, take you to the hospital to see him.”
Hearing Chen Jun would take them to see Bai Tie Jun, Wu Liu Yi and the three immediately got excited.
They bolted off, legs pumping, rushing to the dormitory.
At fastest speed put things away, at least meeting housekeeping standards, then the three put on winter service uniforms, straightened their military appearance.
Cheng Cai even reminded Xu Sanduo and Wu Liu Yi not to forget to bring money.
Xu Sanduo and Wu Liu Yi didn’t think much, just stuffed money into their pockets.
Hurriedly ran to the main entrance, got into the car Chen Jun drove over.
Xu Sanduo and Wu Liu Yi didn’t have that awareness, Cheng Cai understood social graces better, specially asking Chen Jun to drive to the nearby small town first.
Went to the supermarket to buy some fruit, and bone strengthening powder and such.
Cheng Cai was actually okay at being human, willing to spend on gifts, picked the most expensive things in the supermarket, spent over a thousand yuan at once.
Spent three months’ salary.
Besides daily smoking expenses, saved half a year’s salary, all spent at once without blinking.
Really generous!
Unlike before when broke and had to save, even cigarettes had to share reluctantly.
And told the socially clueless Xu Sanduo and not-overthinking Wu Liu Yi, when visiting a patient in hospital, must bring some gifts.
Wu Liu Yi and Xu Sanduo thought yes, and followed suit buying some.
But not as generous as Cheng Cai, after all their family situations couldn’t compare to Cheng Cai’s, no family support, even had to send money home.
That little salary really couldn’t afford it.
The two just bought fruit and milk, spent nearly a hundred yuan.
But even this over a hundred yuan, for Xu Sanduo and Wu Liu Yi who sent back most of their salary, leaving only living expenses and tobacco money, was still a considerable sum.
Especially for Wu Liu Yi who smoked daily, this used up all his tobacco money, until next month’s payday could only bum cigarettes.
However.
Bai Tie Jun was after all a comrade from the squad, spending this money they both felt worth it.
“Cheng Cai thinks things more meticulously, thinks problems more deeply, as long as the minor flaws are corrected, indeed promising material, no wonder Yuan Lang’s final evaluation, his future path longer than Xu Sanduo’s.”
Chen Jun sat in the car without getting out, seeing the three’s conversation while buying things in the mall, indeed very satisfied with Cheng Cai’s emotional intelligence.
In the original plot, Cheng Cai used emotional intelligence too forcefully, overdid it becoming unlikable slickness.
If used appropriately, absolutely a plus.
After Wu Liu Yi and Cheng Cai and the others bought things, Chen Jun took them to the division field hospital.
To not affect their chatting, after all as deputy company commander staying there they wouldn’t speak freely, Chen Jun left alone, giving them enough space.
Two hours later.
Chen Jun returned to the hospital, told Bai Tie Jun to rest well, not think too much, only after recovering well could he train better, contribute more to the company.
Then took Xu Sanduo, Cheng Cai, and Wu Liu Yi, left the hospital to eat at an outside restaurant.
Counted as a small reward for the three passing the assessment, gaining the chance to go to A Detachment training camp, plus sit together have some drinks, increase mutual feelings.
Chen Jun wasn’t one to put on official airs, more hoped to become brothers with the warriors.
And this meal the four ate together, one bottle of beer down, eating and drinking, feelings indeed progressed obviously.
Back at the company for the next six days, Chen Jun really did respond to every request.
Specially gave the three two days off, let them wear casual wear take the car to the capital, even allowed them to stay one night there, fully enjoy two days of fun in this guarded city,
Only after they played all they wanted to play, then could go “desperately” for Chen Jun.
