The arrival of the second transfer convoy made Base Five crowded. Training areas were filled with sleep sacks for new recruits and wounded warriors undergoing recovery training. They bore it all as proof of their willingness to shoulder more responsibilities with courage.
Almost everyone's rooms were reassigned to accommodate as many people as possible. Ji Xinghe wasn't exempted from this, despite his high rank. He could have requested special privileges, but neither he nor Rong Xinyue agreed to such privileges.
Therefore, his two-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom unit welcomed five new guests. Lin Shu, Ma Ergou, and Wang Juntong were assigned to Ji Xinghe's bed, whilst Xia Zao and Tan Lingling shared a room with Ji Rongxinyue. Ji Xinghe himself slept in the narrow living room.
