"Obeying orders?" Chen Tian Ling sneered, "Whose orders? Your orders? Are you qualified? "
Xiao Jing put the black stone back into the chess box and looked at Elder Xue without saying a word.
Old Xue glanced at the arrogant Chen Tianling and emphasized, "Colonel Xiao is right. Special teams are special teams. No matter what, since you"ve joined them, you have to obey orders."
"Old Xue, I"m a great general listening to a colonel"s words. If these words are spread out, what is my prestige?" Chen Tian Ling arrogantly raised her head, "Could it be that my ability still needs to be tested?"
"That sounds familiar." Xiao Jing smiled and spoke casually. "I think that General Hao Ji Yue, who was introduced to me by Elder Xue, also said those words in high spirits. It seems he didn"t even pa.s.s the first selection."
"No one knows if the one that came out was a phoenix or a pheasant before the phoenix egg broke out of its sh.e.l.l." Chen Tianling said sarcastically.
"What General Chen Tianling said does make sense. I wonder if your phoenix egg is truly a phoenix." Xiao Jing stood up and saluted. "Sir, sorry for the embarra.s.sment."
"If I lose to a kid like you, I"ll probably be mocked for my old face."
"You were distracted." Xiao Jing looked at the time on the wall. "It"s time for morning practice. I"m going to the sports field first."
"Go on, it"s time for you to do your own thing." Elder Xue drank a mouthful of tea and stood up as well.
Chen Tian, whose heart was filled with unwillingness, followed behind the old man and muttered, "Old Xue, look at her att.i.tude just now. Do you think she will listen to your orders?"
"Whether she listens or not is not up to her. Go back and pack up. We"ll stay here tonight. We"ll start training tomorrow."
"Do you really want me to train with them?"
"Could it be that you want Xiao Jing to give you her seat?" Elder Xue asked.
Chen Tian Ling was at a loss for words. It was indeed inappropriate for her to s.n.a.t.c.h the position of captain right after she arrived, but was she really going to throw her own reputation as a general to become a small soldier?
"What is right and what is wrong is right. We have to focus on the big picture." Old Xue walked down the stairs.
Chen Tianling lowered his head maliciously, not saying a word.
She was ambitious. How could she be willing to be a small soldier that was being held down?
"Old Xue, Old Madam Shen has arrived." A guard walked forward anxiously.
Elder Xue stopped and looked at Gu Qingcheng, who had similarly led a group of people, and couldn"t help but frown.
Old Mistress Shen glanced at Old Xue, who had a lofty expression on his face. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she took a step forward.
The surrounding people all retreated four to five meters away, as if they understood that no one was allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the leaders.h.i.+p conference.
Old Mistress Shen held a small stove in her hand and said with a smile, "Old Xue is really interested. You"ve travelled a thousand miles to specifically come visit this junior."
"Old Madam Shen came really quickly. The moment I arrived, you already arrived. Those who don"t know what"s going on might think that your Shen family has set their sights on me."
Old Xue really knows how to joke around. Although I also want to have a very long telescope that can reach inside of Old Xue"s home, when I think about how Old Xue is such a highly respected old leader, how could I dare to do such a foolish thing like going overboard with my status.
"If your Shen family really does that, who will discover it? Or who has the ability to discover it? " Old Xue placed his hands on his cane, his long and narrow eyes fixed on Gu Qingcheng. He could clearly see the intentions in his eyes.
Old Madam Shen did not avoid the offensive gaze. She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Tian Ling, who was silent at the side. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said, "I think I understand Old Xue"s motive."
"What does the madame want to say?"
"It should be because everyone knows of Elder Xue"s heart, so I don"t have to waste my breath to say it."
"Old madam, you"ve misunderstood. I"m just leading the way for the juniors. At the end, it"s just a microphone." Old Xue walked down the steps step by step. "I"m already old, so it"s inconvenient for me to get involved in these things. If this child enters the Red Eagle, he"ll have to rely on himself or himself in the future."
"Do you want me to tell you the truth?" Old Mistress Shen stared at the silent Chen Tianling.
Chen Tianling could not help but tighten his body. Who didn"t know that the old mistress of the Shen family had such a sharp eye? In front of her, he was like a person wearing a transparent robe.
Old Madam Shen continued, "If you don"t have the ability, then don"t take on this porcelain work. At the end, what you lose is your own face."
"Does madame think that a dignified general is not qualified to join the special forces?" Old Xue asked.
Old Mistress Shen nodded with certainty. "Yes."
"You"re looking down on the soldiers of our Flower Country."
"Could it be that Elder Xue thinks what I say is illogical?" Old Mistress Shen approached Old Xue step by step, her eyes unblinking, as if she was spitting poison into Old Xue"s scarlet eyes at night, causing fear in those who saw it.
Elder Xue snorted coldly, "Someone who can achieve the position of general is no ordinary person. Whether it is in terms of military merits or rank, her joining the special task force is a great thing that brings glory to those who dare to show up."
"You need to have the ability to do that. The ma.s.sive Hua Country Military Department has at least tens of millions of people, but why are there only a few hundred people in the special team?" "Special teams are not as simple as they seem to be. They put their lives on the line when it comes to examinations and missions. They may be reduced to a pile of bones at any time."
"Old Mistress Shen is overthinking it. I quite believe in this child"s abilities."
"Therefore, when we were in the meeting of the military, we proposed a special privilege, which is not to accept the military"s transfer orders." Old Mistress Shen interrupted Old Xue"s words.
Old Xue paused for a moment before he frowned without a trace. He said, "Old madam, do you mean that you"re objecting?"
"Do I look like I agree?"
Old Xue narrowed his eyes. "I am only suggesting. Of course, any decision is in Xiao Jing"s hands."
Old Mistress Shen looked at the guard at the side and said, "Go call my little sister over."
"Yes, madame."
When Xiao Jing heard the news, she left the sports field. From far away, she saw two figures fighting each other. She ran up to them like a meteor and stood up straight, saluting.
"Old Xue had just said that he would respect your decision. Do you think General Chen Tianling is suitable for the special task force?" Old Mistress Shen spoke bluntly.
Hearing that, Chen Tianling almost lost his composure and charged forward.
However, facing the two great leaders, she could only silently swallow her resentment.
She spoke with an unquestionable tone, "In terms of rank, General Chen Tianling is fully qualified to enter the special task force. However, the rules are the rules, and anyone who enters will have to undergo the test. If she pa.s.ses, I have no objection."
"It seems that Colonel Xiao still understands the bigger picture." Elder Xue smiled complacently.
However, Xiao Jing continued, "However, the time limit for the special team"s a.s.sessment is limited. Not just anyone can enter the a.s.sessment at any time. I had just completed the a.s.sessment two days ago, so the next a.s.sessment"s time is uncertain."
Old Xue"s face sank. "Colonel Xiao"s words mean that General Chen Tianling has to wait?"
Xiao Jing nodded, "That"s what you mean."
"Xiao Jing, you should know your ident.i.ty." Elder Xue took into account Old Lady Shen who was present. He had originally wanted to reprimand her, but he had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to reach his mouth.
"Old Xue, I"ve already explained it to you before, I"m willing to give anyone a chance, but without the rules, there is no scope for it. The special team"s a.s.sessment has stages, it"s not like you are going to come today, it"s going to be a waste of the country"s human resources and the time the special team has to produce their members. Thus, generally speaking, the interval between each a.s.sessment is around half a year."
"She is a general. Her status is different." Elder Xue said again.
"All are equal." Xiao Jing saluted again. "If there"s nothing else, I"ll need to go back and train."
After saying this, Xiao Jing didn"t wait for Elder Xue"s approval as she turned around and ran towards the field.
Old Xue"s hand uncontrollably shook the staff, as if suppressing some kind of anger.
Old Madam Shen coldly glanced at the green veins on the back of his hand and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Old Xue also understood what Little Jing meant, right?"
"It seems that I have thought too highly of myself, and have deluded myself to think that with my old face, the juniors would at least give me some face."
"This is a public matter, private is private. Does Old Xue intend to mix it between the public and the private?"
Elder Xue was disheartened. He glanced at Old Lady Shen expressionlessly before taking a step down the stairs. He then led the group of people away in a grandiose manner.
Not far away, Xiao Jing looked at the group of people as they left. Her heart that was hanging high in the sky slowly relaxed.
Gu An Cheng rubbed his hands together and sneered. "What a bunch of old fogeys."
"It was my aunt who informed me?"
"Even if I inform the madame right away, do you think it would take less than an hour to get from the Shen family to Red Eagle?" Gu An Cheng asked instead of answering.
From the distance, it would take at least three hours.
"It"s a mistake, a mistake. Thanks to these old fellows, I should learn to be smart." Gu An Cheng patted her shoulder. "Old madam Gu, you came over. Go speak to her, I"ll stop talking. Otherwise, if she sees me, she"ll ask me if I"ve found a handsome and capable grandfather."
Xiao Jing covered her mouth and smiled. She looked at the figure that had blended into the crowd and turned around, waiting for the old man to approach.
Old Mistress Shen sized Xiao Jing up from top to bottom with a few glances before nodding her head, "Her complexion is not bad. It seems that this Iron Eagle Mountain Rivers is rather well-nourished."
"How did Grandmother know Elder Xue was here?"
"What are the plans these old fellows have in mind? I am very clear on the fact that this girl"s special team you"ve just acquired is like a piece of cake for everyone who wants to interfere."
"Even if I chase them away today, what should come will still come." Xiao Jing said.
What you said is right, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, we are only afraid of thieves missing, but our Shen family is not that easy to bully. If they want to come, we can do it, but if we don"t get rid of a piece of their meat, I will not be able to vent my anger. Old Mistress Shen pa.s.sed the small stove to the guard behind her.
Xiao Jing felt that there was something wrong with the elder"s way of looking at her. She anxiously caressed her face and asked, "Grandmother, are you saying something to me?"
Old Mistress Shen shook her head, "I just feel that a girl like you has the grace of a great general like me when I was young."
Xiao Jing couldn"t help blus.h.i.+ng. "Grandmother is such a heroic hero. How could I dare to compete with you?"
"A hero comes out of a young man. It won"t be long before all of you are under the rule of a young man. It"s time for us elders to let go, to retreat and to die."
"Grandmother is just as high-spirited as before."
"Girl, don"t pick on those nice words. If you"re old, then you"re old. You can"t refuse to be old." Old Mistress Shen looked at her hands again and again. "It"s hard work in the military camp. You have to take good care of yourself."
"I know what"s important."
"I"m just afraid that you don"t know. Charge forward with all your strength." Old Lady Shen sighed. "This special team is hundreds to thousands of times stronger than the average camp. If they don"t have that capability, they would be asking for trouble just by coming in. You may be used to it, or you may have forgotten, but you are also mortal. You will bleed due to the pain, so don"t push yourself too much. "
"Grandma, I know my limits."
"I won"t say much more about that. Go back to your work." When Old Madam Shen saw that she was about to leave, she hurriedly added, "Don"t forget to come home this weekend."
"Yes, I will remember."
The sun shone down onto the field. A light breeze blew past, sweeping up leaves and causing them to fall silently. The leaves covered everything, layer by layer.
There was no light on the highway in the Northern Hemisphere. The entire road was pitch black as a car sped past the ramp.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the time, it showed two o"clock in the morning.
It was dark, the neighborhood was dark, and the whole town was quiet.
"Dong, dong, dong." Rumbling sounds came from the surrounding machines as rocks on the ground were shaken and dispersed.
Shen Chengfeng walked out of the car, his eyes were blazing as he looked at the small stones on the ground, this formation should be the operation of a big weapon.
"Captain, I"ve observed the surroundings. It should be here." Cheng Chen jumped down from the high wall.
Shen Chengfeng looked around, the rumbling sound had stopped, he lowered his voice and said, "You stay here, I will take a look."
Cheng Chen did not dare to act carelessly. He was looking for a place to hide his body.
Shen Chengfeng"s figure disappeared into the darkness, he was standing at the corner of the factory, the cameras could not catch any trace of him, he looked at the 10 meter tall wall, it would be extremely difficult for a normal person to climb up with their bare hands, of course, he was not an ordinary person.
The dust on the wall in front of him started to fall, Shen Chengfeng had successfully dug a hole that was half the height of a man and entered it through the hole. He looked around and found that the needle was still so still that it could be heard.
This was a Flower Country factory, and there were all sorts of patterns of Flower Country elements hanging inside, including signs that were also in Flower Country script.
Shen Chengfeng carefully climbed up to the second floor. With his hands covering the gla.s.s bed, he opened the lock on the window and entered it effortlessly.
"Tell me, where is he?" A furious roar came from the inside of the factory, followed by a burst of gunfire.
"Ah, ah." Uncontrollable screams mixed with the smell of blood dispersed from within.
Shen Chengfeng entered from the second floor, successfully avoiding the attention of everyone on the first floor. He carefully moved to the surveillance dead angle and looked down at the ma.s.sacre that was happening on the first floor.
State of W is currently in a white-hot phase. The outbreak caused human nature to be in turmoil, and this factory was able to produce antiviral vaccines on a large area, which was considered appropriate to slow down the spread of the epidemic.
However, once internal strife broke out, it was clear that the factory was the best place to fire.
"Speak, where is he?" The man roughly grabbed a man in a white coat.
"I don"t know. I really don"t know where the professor is." The man begged.
BOOM! The bullet pierced the man"s forehead and he fell to the ground.
The entire hall was filled with the fear of death.
"I"ll ask you one last time, where is he? If anyone says anything, I"ll let them go. If no one says anything, I"ll kill them all." The man circled everyone in his military uniform.
A total of 20 researchers were captured, and all of them covered their heads with their hands.
"Looks like no one said anything." The man"s fingers lightly rubbed across the spear shaft, causing a series of creaking sounds that were neither light nor heavy but were very threatening.
"I, I"ll say it." A man around fifty years old stood up.
"Li Jiang, you can"t say it." Another man was about to stop him.
BOOM! The bullet landed on the man who tried to interrupt their conversation.
The uniformed man was very satisfied with the man called Li Jiang, so he hooked his fingers at him. "Come over here and let"s talk."
Li Jiang walked over shakily, "I already said that you"re really willing to let me go."
"I am a person who values peace. If I can use peaceful means to settle things, I won"t use such a crude method anymore."
Li Jiang swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes, "He"s —"
"Li Jiang, you ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d." The group of people were so excited that they wanted to pounce on him.
The uniformed man"s face turned ugly: "You made a terrible noise. Kill them all. Now you can say what you want."
Shen Chengfeng grabbed a chair, without hesitation he threw it down from the second floor. The chair shattered the gla.s.s and pieces of gla.s.s fell onto the floor, breaking into pieces.
"Someone"s invading." Before the man could finish his words, a hand had already grabbed his throat.
With one hand, Shen Chengfeng broke the opponent"s neck, and with the other hand, he grabbed the AK in his hands, turning and shooting at the enemies that did not have enough time to react.
