Xiao Jing walked back to her dorm room, put down her backpack, and took off her already soaked military boots. Her entire body was lying on the floor, and she looked up at the ceiling, like a deflated balloon. She felt extremely comfortable.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The sound of footsteps approached from afar.
Xiao Jing sat up straight like a carp, her eyes bright as she stared at the door of her room. After she was sure that the people outside had left, she lay back down and loosened her clothes that were also wet.
"Knock, knock."
The sound of the door being opened could be heard. In the next moment, the person pushed the door open and entered.
Xiao Jing hurriedly buttoned up her clothes, pretending to be calm as she stared at her uninvited figure.
Shen Chengfeng went straight to the point, "Pack up your things and come with me."
Xiao Jing stared, confused, "Depart?"
"What happened?"
"Mission assigned."
Shen Chengfeng replied concisely.
Although Xiao Jing didn't know what the quest was, she still quickly changed into clean clothes.
Shen Chengfeng stood in front of the SUV with an unspeakable seriousness on his face.
Xiao Jing walked up to him, straightened her body and replied, "Captain, I'm ready."
"This task requires the writing of a will."
Shen Chengfeng handed over the paper and pen that he had prepared earlier.
Xiao Jing's expression turned cold as she looked at the white and clean A4 paper. When she raised the pen, it was a bit heavy. She asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"No one can guarantee a safe escape."
Xiao Jing lowered her head and looked at the spotlessly clean white paper. However, she found it difficult to write. What should she write?
Or what?
In the Xiao family, her status was a little awkward. All of her father's wives were married off and returned home. Her mother was the only reason she had to rely on alcohol to wash away her worries after her father lost his second wife.
The Matriarch had never admitted to them from the start, but due to the dignity and glory of the soldiers, she had half-heartedly welcomed her mother into the Xiao family.
So she never saw her father for a year.
She had never thought that she would one day return with glory. Relying on her own ability and her secret of not being able to see others, she had always been able to hide in the smallest dust. This way, she would be able to continue staying at the Xiao family with her mother without worry.
However, ever since she had come to the Special Forces, she felt the unyielding spirit in her body ignite. She would rather die fighting than live like this.
Perhaps this was the spirit of the Xiao family that big brother always mentioned.
She wrote a line of words on the letter and folded it up before placing it in an envelope and handing it to Shen Chengfeng.
Shen Chengfeng looked at him and said, "You can ask not to do any missions. After all, you are still a recruit in the Iron Eagle and you need training time. I will allow you to quit."
"I won't quit."
Xiao Jing looked at Shen Chengfeng with firm eyes, as though a fire was burning in her eyes, gradually extinguishing her fear.
Shen Chengfeng opened the car door, "Get in."
Xiao Jing walked around the car and sat in the passenger seat. She asked, "Where are we going?"
"The border."
Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. She asked in surprise, "The border?"
"Now you know fear?"
Shen Chengfeng stepped on the gas pedal, apparently, he was not prepared to give her any chance to change her mind.
Xiao Jing buckled her seat belt in fear. In the years she had been in the army, the most she had heard from the captain was that if you had nothing to do, don't slip away to the Muji district. There were a few fugitives on the edge of the sabre that had been stationed there for many years, especially one of the three greatest mercenaries in the world, Viper.
Viper had over a hundred armed men. They were all valiant fighters and bloodthirsty like devils. No matter who they were, once they stepped into their territory, they would not rest until they were dead.
"This time, the orders issued by the higher-ups were to rescue Professor Zhao Fangyi, but who would have thought that on the way back, Jiang Shi would be discovered. Now that they have lost contact, I'm afraid their future is bleak."
Shen Chengfeng handed the information to Xiao Jing.
When Xiao Jing heard the familiar name, she was stunned. "Colonel Jiang?"
"Yes, Jiang Shi."
Shen Chengfeng repeated the name again.
Lin Qi stood in front of the dormitory building, watching as the SUV sped away in the direction of the camp. He lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand, and could not help but mock himself by tapping his own head.
He seems to have been very absent-minded lately.
"Lin Qi, why are you standing here in a daze?"
Jiang Xin came down the corridor after showering and carrying a basin.
Lin Qi shook his head, "I saw the captain leading Second Lieutenant Xiao away. I heard that the 118 troops just arrived, could it be that they have a mission?"
Jiang Xin gently nudged Lin Qi's chest with her hand and said with a faint smile, "Do you want to go with me?"
"I just thought that with Second Lieutenant Xiao's stamina, wouldn't she be unable to take a mission the moment she returns?"
"Why do I feel like the captain intentionally not sent us but Little Eighteen to go."
Jiang Xin raised his eyebrows.
Lin Qi did not understand what he meant. "What do you mean by that?"
"I heard from Cheng Chen that the captain is intimate in the woods."
"Cough cough, I will only tell you this. You must not speak carelessly."
Jiang Xin looked around. After making sure that there were no random people waiting for him, he leaned forward and whispered, "Did you see that red mark on the captain's neck?"
Lin Qi carefully recalled the captain's exposed neck. There was indeed an imperceptible red mark.
Jiang Xin smiled. "I heard it's the Small Eighteen."
"Impossible."
Lin Qi blurted out in surprise.
Jiang Xin smacked his lips. "How is that impossible?"
"Cheng Chen and Xia Chen saw it together, and both of them told me so."
"In any case, that's impossible. Captain, captain and Second Lieutenant Xiao are impossible"
"What's impossible in a place like the barracks that's full of men? I'm not sure if our captain is going to make a move on the Red Luan this time?"
Look at when did the captain take such a fancy to you?
"Not only did he personally train Xiao Jing, he even went on a mission with her. This is different."
"What I said isn't impossible. The captain used to do quests before, but his quests are all SS grade, so there's no need for him to go there himself. It's just that he gave this mission to Xiao Jing."
Lin Qi secretly clenched his fist. He didn't know what was going on with him, but at this moment, he was very angry and wanted nothing more than to smash something.
Jiang Xin patted him on the shoulder and joked, "I know you're the most outstanding recruit this year, but there are plenty of opportunities for you to do so. Next time, maybe you'll be on a solo mission tomorrow."
"I'm a bit tired, so I'll be going back first."
Lin Qi turned around and ran towards his own dorm, not even looking back.
Jiang Xin watched his fading back and sighed, "Captain, we're obviously being biased. Look at our comrade Lin Qi, he's a little mentally unbalanced, but think about how the captain felt. Forget it, wait a minute. Why do I have the feeling of a ten-year wife turning into a wife?"
As expected, I'm more worried about our captain's life than anyone else.
It was all thanks to Second Lieutenant Xiao.
That's not right. Jiang Xin was shocked. He finally understood why Lin Qi had such an expression when he saw a ghost. Wasn't his own captain and Second Lieutenant Xiao also a man?
He seemed to have discovered some shocking secret.
"Vice Captain Pei, I have something to tell you. You can't tell the third person."
Jiang Xin saw Mr. Pei walking over from the direction of the bathhouse and hurriedly ran over.
In a corner that no one noticed, there was a strange glint of light under the sunlight.
The man's hand couldn't help but clench into a fist. It seemed to be very hard, and the veins on his fist were popping out.
He tossed the fully packaged roast duck into the trash and walked quickly out of the camp.
The scorching sun suddenly burst forth with a strong gust of wind. Dark clouds covered the sun, and the entire campsite gave off a desolate and desolate feeling.
The SUV parked in front of the helipad. The huge wind created by the wings caused everything around to shake. Xiao Jing walked down from the pa.s.senger seat with a serious expression.
In front of the cabin, Xu Fu faced Shen Chengfeng and stood in a military posture. With a sonorous voice, he said, "Sir, are you going in person?"
Shen Chengfeng took the transfer formalities and with a wave of his pen, he placed his name in front of Xiao Jing and said, "Signature."
Xiao Jing picked up the pen and without looking at the words on it, she quickly wrote her name.
Xu Fu looked nervous as he watched the plane soar into the sky. He raised his head, straightened his chest, and saluted.
Inside the cabin, Xiao Jing could not help but break the heavy atmosphere. She asked, "How are we going to sneak in next?"
"Someone will guide us in."
Shen Chengfeng replied without raising his head.
Xiao Jing opened the blinds and looked at the rolling white clouds outside the window. She said, "Captain, this mission is very dangerous, right?"
"It's even more dangerous than the last time I met those rebels."
"Then why did you send me?"
Xiao Jing asked hesitantly. Logically speaking, regardless of talent or ability, she was inferior to others in the special team. Even if she wanted to train the recruits, Lin Qi was more qualified to participate in this task than she was.
Shen Chengfeng closed his notebook and looked at Xiao Jing with a long and deep gaze. It was as if he could see through the unreality in the depths of her eyes. It was as if he was in a dream.
"Captain, did you open the back door for me on purpose?"
Xiao Jing lowered her head, her two fingers twitching in embarrassment. Other than this, she couldn't think of any other reason. The Captain giving her a chance over and over again was simply placing high hopes on her.
"I know very well the overall quality of everyone in the special combat team, I will use their abilities well, not blindly sending out a strong esper. A powerful esper that thinks he has the power to attend the mission, every mission is not child's play, I will definitely not open the back door specifically for anyone."
Xiao Jing embarra.s.sedly rubbed her head. She raised her eyes with confidence and said, "So, captain, you mean that you think that I am qualified for this mission?"
"There's never been any waste in the SWAT team."
Xiao Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "Captain, you didn't deliberately open the back door for me?"
"I treat everyone the same."
Shen Chengfeng opened his notebook once again, "Sleep then. There are still four hours until the border of the country."
Xiao Jing, on the other hand, stared fixedly at his side.
Shen Chengfeng noticed his sharp gaze and glanced at his eyes that seemed to have some special intention. He placed one hand on his notebook and asked, "Do you still want to say something?"
"No, I just think the captain looks good."
Xiao Jing smiled.
Shen Chengfeng did not say anything. He stared at her without blinking. The two of them did not know how long they had been in silence.
Xiao Jing's eyes were somewhat sore. She could not help but rub her eyes tiredly.
Shen Chengfeng silently threw the blindfold over.
She lowered her head and said to herself, "Captain, I don't think that your looks are shabby. No matter how strong your family or ability is, you will definitely find a beautiful wife in the future, so you should try to leave the camp. Don't stay here all day, it's easy for you to go astray."
"Pah!"
Shen Chengfeng closed his notebook and the entire cabin suddenly went silent, as though it had dropped by a few degrees.
Xiao Jing instinctively shivered. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly. "I think I said too much."
"No, you didn't say too much, and you weren't wrong. A place like the military camp is indeed prone to suffering from mental disorders, especially when it comes to making a normal person turn into a lunatic."
Was he scolding himself for overthinking things?
"I don't know where Xiao Ye knows that I'm abnormal, but I'm sure he won't be calm these days."
Shen Chengfeng stared straight at Xiao Jing.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange. It was as if something was staring at her, as if a knife was stabbing into her spine.
Xiao Jing quickly averted her gaze, her gaze erratic as she looked at the cabin. She said, "I suddenly feel so tired, I'll go to sleep first."
Shen Chengfeng did not say anything else but was still staring at her with a burning gaze.
Xiao Jingjing turned her body to the side, facing the outside of the aircraft cabin, carefully sneaking a peek at the big Buddha behind her. After sensing the powerful attacking power of his dead fish eyes, she resentfully closed her eyes, pretending to be dead.
Dusk. The sun was setting in the west. The entire sky was dyed crimson by the red frost.
Xiao Jing is right behind Shen Chengfeng and along the way are the troops stationed at the border of the city.
The 105th Regiment of Garrison is currently the largest border patrol in the country. Sun Qi stood in a military posture and saluted, "Sir."
"What's the situation now?"
Shen Chengfeng took off his military hat and went straight to the point.
Sun Qi led the two into the camp and said, "We've already sent three elites out to search, but unfortunately, we haven't received any news so far."
"Where was the last place you lost contact?"
"Here."
Sun Qi pointed at a city on the map and said, "This is a hidden city, occupied by a bunch of desperate criminals. Almost everyone here has guns, and there are even powerful artillery shells."
"I see."
Shen Chengfeng turned around and looked at Xiao Jing, who was focusing on listening to the news behind him. He said, "Get ready."
Sun Qi's heart was hanging by a thread, "Currently, it is unknown whether Professor Zhao's group is alive or dead. His family members requested that the corpse be brought back as well."
Shen Chengfeng checked his weapon and said coldly, "You have to know that in a place like that, casualties cannot be brought out."
Sun Qi wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Of course, he knew that under those circumstances, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to escape, not to mention carrying out the corpse.
Shen Chengfeng tidied up his gun and intentionally threw a bulletproof vest on Xiao Jing. He said, "Put it on."
Xiao Jing obediently put on her body armor. She tightly held onto the AK as she followed her leader out of the camp area.
"We've already prepared enough ammunition to place under your seats in the car. If we encounter an ambush "
"There are uncertainties in any assignments, and I know that better than you. Don't say any of those unnecessary words. Buckle up and let's go."
Shen Chengfeng closed the door.
Sun Qi saluted the car as it sped away. "Please leave safely, sir."
Hidden City was a city that turned around day and night. Here, the night noise lit up the night sky, and there were groups of people playing around. However, there was one thing that everyone had in common: there was a gun on their waist, in their hands, or on their backs!
It was as if the barrel of a gun were more common here than in cigarettes, almost essential to everyone.
Xiao Jing sat in the car, constantly paying attention to the movement outside. She asked in a low voice, "Captain, what should we do next?"
Looking around? '
"I came here on a mission last year to meet a big boss here."
Shen Chengfeng drove the car into an unlit alley.
"Big Boss?"
"This place is called Big Boss and Little Boss. Each Little Boss is in charge of a different area. Every ten Little Boss will have a Big Boss supporting them. That is to say, snare them. What we need to do now is to lure them out."
Shen Chengfeng stepped on the brakes and parked his car in front of a bar.
The flirtatious woman in the sexy and seductive dancing dress walked over with a sway of her snake-like waist.
"Gramps, do you want to go in and take a seat?"
The woman raised her hand and swept it across Shen Chengfeng's chest.
"Tell Master Qin that someone is here to ruin the situation."
Finished speaking, Shen Chengfeng led Xiao Jing straight in.
When the man called Master Qin saw him staring at him without blinking, he closed the door behind him with a hypocritical smile on his face and said, "Why is Master Shen here?"
"Do you think I'm here as a guest?"
Shen Chengfeng asked.
Master Qin personally opened a bottle of red wine and smacked his lips. "Guest! Master Shen, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me."
"This Concealment City has been quite chaotic lately. A group of well-trained and fully equipped mercenaries have arrived. I'm afraid that Master Qin won't be able to carry out his business."
Master Qin's hand trembled as he hurriedly said, "How come I don't understand the meaning behind Master Shen's words?"
Shen Chengfeng held down the bottle of wine without saying a word. In the silence, the bottle slowly dissolved and the wine was spilled onto the table.
