Chapter 355: Another Kind of Inheritance and Continuation

The sanitation is all taken care of, right?

Report, comrade Lu Yang, the glass has been completely wiped clean.

Report, team leader, the gaps in the corridor floor have also been brushed clean with a toothbrush.

Report, team leader, the restroom inside and out has been repeatedly cleaned with oxalic acid several times; the squat toilet now even reflects light!

Early the next morning, Lu Yang looked at Ding Tengfei and the others standing in a line before him and nodded with satisfaction.

Even though they are guests, they should leave the dormitory spotless when they go.

"Let's go, Comrade Cheng, they're already waiting for us."

"Yes."

Everyone slung their packs on their backs, formed a line at the doorway, and followed Lu Yang down the stairs in order.

In the open space in front of Shushe lou stood Detachment Commander Zou Bin, Deputy Political Commissioner Xu, and the two men Zhang Long and Zhao Hu holding a box.

"You really aren't having breakfast here?"

"No, we got a call from the Company, and we have a work assignment."

"Alright then, I brought you some baozi, eggs, milk and the like; you can have them on the road back. Since you're at the age of growing, you must have breakfast and get enough nutrition."

Only then did everyone notice that the box Zhang Long was holding contained the breakfast prepared for them in advance.

I have to say, the detachment leadership really cares; they even paid attention to these small details.

"Besides that, I also have something to give you, as a recognition of your hard work over these past few days."

Having said that, Zhao Hu went up, and Zou Bin opened the box, taking out a black short rod.

The end of the short rod bore a steel stamp bearing the insignia of the Armed Police Third Detachment.

Zou Bin lifted his hand and flicked it downward; the short rod instantly extended two to three times its length.

Lu Yang and the others showed surprise in their eyes, for it was clearly a police telescopic baton.

Ding Tengfei stared wide‑eyed, even though he had foolishly brought a one during the enlistment inspection.

But that kind of defective piece bought at a cheap market would snap with a little force; it could never compare to the official telescopic baton of the Armed Police Mobile Unit—it's a difference like a counterfeit versus the genuine.

Zou Bin placed one end of the baton against his palm, folded it back, and handed it to Lu Yang, saying, "We can't just take advantage of you; these telescopic batons are for each of you. They are a testament to the friendship between our Armed Police and the PLA, and also a wonderful blessing."

"Furthermore, as regular troops, you are unlikely to be allowed to use firearms on missions; if danger arises later, this can help you defend yourselves in emergencies, especially since you've also studied staff‑and‑shield techniques."

Lu Yang took it with both hands, gratefully saluting him, "Thank you, Detachment Commander, this gift is too valuable."

Zou Bin smiled in return, "Friendship endures; whenever you have time, feel free to come back often."

"Definitely!"

Even though everyone knows that "come back often" is just a polite phrase, it still warms the heart.

Everyone, carrying their packs and two boxes, boarded the vehicle one after another.

Cheng Jun saw that everyone had received an authentic Armed Police telescopic baton and looked quite envious.

Since this was given to Lu Yang and the others, it counts as their personal property; even after they discharge, they can take it with them.

It's not only an officially approved self‑defense tool, but also a beautiful memory of their growth.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

Cheng Jun started the truck.

Lu Yang and the others all sat inside the cabin.

Everyone was like a child impatiently waiting to unwrap a gift.

At this moment, even though their stomachs were a bit hungry, no one paid any attention to the food; everyone was eager to fiddle with the telescopic batons in their hands.

"Wow, the feel is amazing, a ten‑thousand‑times better than the defective one I brought before!"

"No kidding, this is the Armed Police Mobile Unit's dedicated telescopic baton; when you go out on a mission, you bring this!"

"If you could swing three strikes in a second with this thing, that would be awesome!"

"It wasn't a wasted trip, really not. We learned something, and on the way out we even got food and gear, making me feel a bit embarrassed."

At that moment, Lu Yang felt the vehicle's speed seem to drop, and a rapid whistle sounded from outside.

Lu Yang and the others peeked outside and saw the track of the playground just beyond a railing.

The soldiers of the Special Duty Company had already assembled into a formation, waiting for their vehicle on the slanted front.

"Salute!"

Special Duty Company Commander Feng Yishan shouted with vigor, raising his right hand first.

All the soldiers of the Whole Company raised their right hands toward the vehicle with force.

Cheng Jun laughed and honked twice in response.

Inside the cabin, Lu Yang and the others all stood up, moving to the rear row to return the salute to the Armed Police soldiers on the playground.

Seeing that everyone in the Special Duty Company had already put on the new combat boots and uniforms of the Special Third Regiment, yet the patches on their shoulders were those of the Armed Police Third Detachment.

Lu Yang's mood surged, his excitement spilling over; in a sense, how could this not be a kind of inheritance and continuation?

Cheng Jun drove the vehicle, sending Ding Tengfei, Kong Long, Wan Baoshan and the others back to their respective companies one by one.

Only then did he bring Lu Yang to the gate of the Sixth Company, because he still had to return to the Tuan Bu Logistics for report, so he didn't go in.

Lu Yang lifted his pack and got off the vehicle.

It seemed to be the longest time he had been away from the Sixth Company since enlisting.

Honestly, looking at this familiar doorway, he truly felt the sensation of a wanderer returning home.

The sentinel on duty at the gate was LiMin; when he saw Lu Yang, he hurriedly ran over to take his luggage.

"Platoon Leader, you're finally back; I've missed you to death!"

"How about it, your foot doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"

It doesn't hurt anymore; it hasn't hurt for a while.

After being assigned to the lower company, are you still used to it?

I'm used to it, totally used to it!

LiMin bounced alongside Lu Yang, eyebrows animated and face lit up, chattering away: "The old soldiers are all good to me, they all look out for me, I still have a codename—Kawasaki 16!"

It's just that I've only been here a short while, I'm not yet qualified to touch the motorcycle, but I'll definitely work hard!

Just then, everyone on the training field also spotted Lu Yang.

Zhou Kaidong, Liu Ziqiang, Sun Chen, Kang Changyi and the others were the first to rush over here.

Lu Yang, Yang Brother, Platoon Leader, you're finally back—we've been dying to see you!

How's your health? Is the armed police fun? What have you learned?

I heard you've been practicing hard qigong—is this martial art real? After training to the end, can you become impervious to blades and spears, indestructible like a diamond?

Holy crap, what is this? A baton, or is it extendable, and it even bears the steel stamp of the armed police's third detachment—so awesome!

Familiar faces surrounded Lu Yang, chatting back and forth; he hadn't felt this feeling in a long time.

Although the soldiers of the third detachment are also easy to get along with, compared to the comfort and ease brought by one's own people, something is still missing.

Just then, someone ran over to say that the company commander and instructor wanted him to come over.

Lu Yang simply tossed his pack to Kang Changyi, asking him to put it back in the dormitory.

As a result, Zhang Jiaheng eagerly insisted on coming along; when the two just returned to the class, Kang Changyi couldn't wait to unfurl the extendable baton Lu Yang had brought back.

And, imitating the classic scene from the Hong Kong film 'Sha Po Lang', he began to shake his head and sway his body, learning from Donnie Yen......
