Chapter 53: Aftermath
Is this a question despised by the system?
The key point is that the system actually has artificial intelligence! This guy hid it pretty deep.
Chang Ning: “System, come out. I know you can hear me.”
System: “…”
Chang Ning’s call was like a stone sinking into the sea; the system did not respond to him.
Seeing that the system did not respond to him, Chang Ning stopped dwelling on it. No response is fine, as long as it doesn’t affect his use of it.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?
Do young people nowadays have such poor mental fortitude?
If you’re like this, I wouldn’t dare recruit you to Wolf Fang. If you went in, you’d go crazy in two days for sure.”
Seeing that Chang Ning had been standing there dazed after being eliminated by him, the assassin thought he had accidentally hurt the guy and hurried over to check.
In the end, nothing was wrong; he just seemed completely dazed.
The assassin waved his hand in front of Chang Ning’s eyes, but Chang Ning showed no reaction.
“Weird, the information didn’t say Chang Ning is usually a fool. I wouldn’t dare take someone like this to Wolf Fang.”
The assassin decided to report to He Da Dui when he got back; recruiting someone like this to Wolf Fang would harm others and himself!
“I’m fine. Stop waving; I’m dizzy.”
Coming back to his senses, Chang Ning saw a face covered in camouflage right in front of him. Luckily, after last night’s ordeal, his mental fortitude was barely passable; otherwise, he would have been startled.
“What’s your deal? I just eliminated you. Is it that big a deal?
Let me tell you, back in the day during exercises, I eliminated tons of people. If everyone was as mentally fragile as you, why bother with exercises…”
Seeing the assassin talking nonstop like a wind-up toy, Chang Ning quickly interrupted him. What’s the point of listening to someone brag? Especially since he had just been eliminated, he had no interest in hearing it.
“Stop! Leader, I know you’re from Wolf Fang and you’re awesome. No need to emphasize it to me.”
“Tch, you little private, you’ve got quite the temper.
I won’t stoop to your level.”
After saying that, the assassin walked a short distance but came back to Chang Ning: “Since you’re not actually a fool, I’ll be waiting for you at Wolf Fang.
One more thing: when you come to Wolf Fang, remember to write a summary of our fight. I want to see it.
If you don’t write it, I don’t mind being your exclusive instructor.
Heh heh heh~”
The assassin left with a strange laugh.
Hearing that he still had to write a report, Chang Ning’s already unpleasant expression became even worse.
He didn’t mind writing reports. But there’s a difference between doing something willingly and being forced to do it.
Chang Ning was very unwilling inwardly, but thinking that he still had to go to Wolf Fang for training, to avoid being tormented by the assassin, he had to obediently hand over this report.
Who told him the next part was the assassin’s home turf?
Not long after the assassin left, Chang Ning was taken away by the “dead” troop transport vehicle, destination: Operations Department.
When Chang Ning arrived at the place, he drew a crowd. The leaders of the Operations Department looked at this young private in front of them.
They all sighed inwardly: How many years has it been? Never seen such a strong soldier.
Of course, excluding wartime. When facing life danger, who knows what potential a person might unleash, so the battlefield is full of miracles.
After seeing Chang Ning, the leaders let him go.
Among the group of officers, Chang Ning was like a reminder: The era has changed; it’s time to make way for the young people.
Making them feel like they were too old to keep up.
In reality, the oldest among the leaders was only in his sixties, and in very good health!
Actually, Chang Ning was quite unlucky. Today was the decisive match between the red and blue sides; they both chose to deploy all their forces today, going all in.
On the frontal battlefield, the rumbling of artillery never stopped. The soldiers and commanders were having a blast, while the logistics head’s face twitched with every boom, his ferocious expression clearly holding back something.
Compared to his inner cursing: This is all money!
The artillery lasted half a day. At three in the afternoon, Chang Ning and the other Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company soldiers were notified they could return to the company.
They then put down the blankets they had somehow gotten, packed their backpacks, boarded the Operations Department’s troop transport vehicle, and returned to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company’s temporary camp.
On the way back, Lao Pao, Xiao Zhuang, Xi Wa, and Chen Pai all sat with Chang Ning, listening to him brag.
“Let me tell you, I was scared to death back then. That place was really eerie, like being trapped in a ghost wall—no matter how you walk, you end up back at the start.”
Chang Ning earnestly told everyone about the strong magnetic field he encountered, of course artistically processed, omitting some details that would damage his image.
Mainly to highlight his courage in the face of danger and his cleverness.
The four listened to Chang Ning brag, each with different expressions.
Xi Wa was full of admiration, Lao Pao expressionless, while Xiao Zhuang and Chen Pai had that “I know you’re bragging but I’ll play along” look. So much so that when they cheered him on, Chang Ning could feel the perfunctory vibe.
“There really is a ghost wall!”
Xi Wa was clearly completely fooled by Chang Ning, exclaiming in surprise.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. There’s no ghost wall; the place where Chang Ning was had a strong magnetic field that messed up his sense of direction, so he kept circling in place.”
As a firm proletarian warrior, Chen Pai insisted on smashing all ghosts and demons, and believing in science.
The group laughed and joked all the way; the vehicle often filled with Chang Ning’s goofy sounds and Chen Pai’s laughter and scolding. Most of the time, everyone was laughing.
At this moment, the exercise result didn’t matter anymore; that wasn’t for them to worry about.
In the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company’s temporary camp, Miao Lian heard the vehicle and knew his soldiers were back. He couldn’t contain his inner joy.
He smiled and walked out of the tent, waiting outside for his soldiers.
Everyone got off and quickly formed up under Platoon Leader Chen Guotao’s command.
“Miao Lian, we’re back!”
Chen Pai walked up to Miao Lian, saluted him, and said.
Miao Lian returned the salute, grinning happily: “When I heard you were captured behind enemy lines, my heart skipped a beat! I thought my old face would be completely disgraced this time, letting that bastard Old Gao have his way! Didn’t expect you to turn it around for me!
You’re all great; you didn’t let old Miao lose face!
No need to be so formal; dismiss! Tonight, I’ll have the cookhouse add extra meals!”
Looking at the formation in front of him, Miao Lian felt a swell of pride.
Hearing Miao Lian say extra meals, the scouts cheered happily. There would be good food tonight; during the exercise, they hadn’t had a proper meal. They even went hungry; this time, the exercise losses could be made up.
“Miao Lian, it’s more than just one round turned around.”
Chen Pai sidled up to Miao Lian with a heh heh smile, then winked and said.
“Right, right, people get old and forget things easily.
Chang Ning, you kid really did me proud. Didn’t expect Old Gao to get eliminated by you.
Let’s see him strut in front of me again. So what if he’s special forces? Still got eliminated by my soldier!”
