Chapter 1041: Everyone has a choice!

Syracuse, U. S. military camp.

When Malèna arrived at the camp, looking around with a hint of fear, Zhang Cheng walked up and inquired.

"Hello, miss. I would like to ask, is there anything you need help with? I can do anything."

Looking at the very polite Zhang Cheng before her, Malèna spoke up.

【Malèna!】

"You are looking for a job, right?"

Seeming to see Malèna's embarrassment, Zhang Cheng asked her.

"That's right!"

Nodding at Zhang Cheng, Malèna kept her head lowered nervously, seemingly afraid to meet his gaze.

"We happen to be short-handed in the kitchen. If you don't mind, you can go there and help out!"

Looking at Malèna's appearance, Zhang Cheng immediately spoke.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Malèna couldn't help but become excited. She hurriedly raised her head, her eyes seemingly sparkling with light.

"Hey, James, go outside and recruit some people. Just say our kitchen needs help!"

Speaking to James beside him, Zhang Cheng then backhanded him with a slap and said, "Stop staring at people's necks!"

Turning his head blankly, James was dumbfounded and said, "Boss, I'm a vampire!"

"I know, that's why I told you not to stare at people's necks!"

Looking at James with annoyance, Zhang Cheng summoned a soldier and had him go recruit people.

If only Malèna entered the camp alone, it would, more or less, cause unnecessary trouble.

But if a group of women were helping in the kitchen, then no one could say anything.

Soon, the soldier completed the task.

After all, for the current U. S. military, what they lacked most was definitely not money.

In terms of logistics, the current U. S. military could absolutely crush any country!

And one could tell from their supplies that the current U. S. military really were the masters!

You can question the Eagle's evil, but you absolutely cannot question the Eagle's food!

By the side of the surging blue waves, a fishing rod was cast forward.

Looking at the leisurely days, Zhang Cheng was currently enjoying the afternoon.

Riding a bicycle to the embankment behind, the boys were watching Zhang Cheng.

Although they didn't get close, they were still curious about this young officer.

"Boss, Victor sent word. Your collection has been prepared for you. Here are the photos!"

Handing two photos to Zhang Cheng, James couldn't help but reveal a smile and said, "Looks really nice. Crystal skulls?"

"A superfluous act. This kind of person just needs to be stitched up with an iron plate!"

Indifferently discarding the photos, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Is there any news from the Night Squad I had you dispatch?"

"They have already arrived in Southeast Asia and will be able to act soon!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, James immediately became serious.

"Very good! The hunting dogs raised for so many years should finally be taken out for a run!"

Speaking with satisfaction, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Remember, James, if they escape without authorization, you will be held primarily responsible!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, James also became serious at this moment.

The Night Squad was composed entirely of vampires drawn from under the Far East Group.

And their person in charge was James, who was also very supportive of this plan.

But if the vampires were to go on a rampage or escape the Group's control, James would be in big trouble.

After all, Zhang Cheng had not agreed to this plan from the beginning, but in order to appease this loyal hunting dog James, Zhang Cheng had to make a choice.

He had always been very magnanimous toward his subordinates, even though James had once wanted to kill him!

James: I killed you? What the f***?

After a month of rest, all of Sicily was basically pacified.

The Allied forces were beginning their next plan, which was Operation Overlord!

As for what Operation Overlord was, it was the Normandy landings!

And the Normandy that men and women saw was not the same scenery at all!

Zhang Cheng was aware of the plan for this operation, because after occupying Italy, he would also take his special operations battalion to the European battlefield!

"Hey, you little brats over there, want to fish?"

Turning his head, James revealed a smile, looking at the boys not far away.

And seeing James's gaze, the boys were immediately scared and fled in a panic.

Looking at James behind him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Don't scare the kids, they will develop psychological trauma!"

"Hahaha! Isn't this very interesting?"

Looking happily at Zhang Cheng, James teased.

After returning to the camp, dinner had already been served.

Looking at the steak and toast, Zhang Cheng spoke, "Not staying to eat a little?"

"That, my work isn't finished yet!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Malèna grabbed the corner of her clothes with some fear.

Because after entering the camp, she realized that this young man before her was the commander of this U. S. military unit!

"Don't be afraid, let's chat!"

Signaling for Malèna to sit down, Zhang Cheng looked at her with a smile.

Sitting at the table to the side, before Malèna could speak, Zhang Cheng pushed things in front of her and said, "Eat. I know, your food is different from ours!"

Swallowing her saliva, Malèna looked at the steak and many other things on the table, feeling somewhat salivating at this moment.

After all, before the U. S. military arrived, Malèna had been nearly out of supplies, unable to even eat.

If she hadn't walked into the camp and found a job for herself, perhaps everything would be the same as before.

"I've inquired, your husband went to fight in the war, right?"

Looking at Malèna, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Yes, just married, he was conscripted!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Malèna couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness.

Handing over the knife and fork in his hand, Zhang Cheng looked at Malèna and said, "Eat. Just treat it as friends, we can talk about some different things!"

Eating the steak, Malèna thought of her husband, and her heart was filled with bitterness at this moment.

"Have you ever thought about leaving this place?"

Looking at Malèna, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Leave here, go where?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Malèna couldn't help but be shocked.

"To the other side of the ocean, a place without war, if you are willing!"

Looking at Malèna before him, Zhang Cheng made his invitation.

"I..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng hesitantly, Malèna couldn't help but waver.

Because Zhang Cheng before her was indeed very excellent, and had never even forced her.

But to let Malèna abandon everything and leave, she seemingly couldn't do it at all!

Looking at Malèna's appearance of seemingly wanting to refuse but also being very afraid, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "You don't need to be afraid. Although I am not a good person, I am an upright person!"

After the small talk ended, before Malèna left, Zhang Cheng looked at her and said, "We are leaving soon! Heading to Rome to fight. Keep this money!"

Taking a thick stack of U. S. banknotes from his pocket, Zhang Cheng stuffed them into Malèna's hand and said, "Your husband didn't die, he just lost an arm!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Malèna couldn't say a word at this moment.

And looking at Malèna, Zhang Cheng smiled, "You have a choice now!"

Watching Malèna leave, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cross his arms and say, "Fate, sometimes it's really strange!"

"You were rejected!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, James, who walked up, was touching a sore spot.

"I have the right to appreciate beauty, and she has the right to choose her life. And if you don't shut up, I will break your neck!"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at James, unable to help but raise his eyebrows.
