Chapter 70

The Steel Seventh Company fell into complete tranquility.

Except for three people.

Feng Yuxiu, Gan Xiaoning, and Bai Tiejun stood straight at the company gate.

Soldiers passing by pointed and laughed one after another.

Shi Jin came once; his eyes were red from the tear gas, and after glaring fiercely for a moment, he never came again.

Wu Liuyi stood there smoking for a long time, then left with a smile without saying a word.

Only Ma Jun handed a cigarette to Gan Xiaoning and Bai Tiejun.

But he was kicked to the ground by his squad leader.

"How long do we have to stand for this punishment?" Bai Tiejun closed his eyes, the sunlight making his face stream with tears.

"You talk too much; sooner or later, this mouth of yours will be your undoing," Gan Xiaoning sneered.

Only Feng Yuxiu remained calm and unmoved.

He had pried open the warehouse and taken out the night-vision goggles and tear gas.

Standing in a military posture as punishment was light.

He had a premonition that this matter would not end so easily.

The company commander had to make an example of them.

Otherwise, whenever they encountered exercises in the future, everything would fall into chaos.

"Time to eat!"

Each squad assembled to go to the canteen for food; in this era, the canteen just meant a porcelain bowl, and you just had to queue up to get your food.

Feng Yuxiu closed his eyes to rest, turning a deaf ear.

Bai Tiejun swallowed his saliva, "I wonder what the kitchen squad made today; I hope it's my favorite stir-fried potatoes with chili."

"Shut up!" Gan Xiaoning's stomach growled.

It wasn't until six in the evening.

"The three of you, come with me." Shi Jin, expressionless, led the three into the assembly hall.

All the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company were seated neatly.

At the front, Company Commander Gao Cheng and Political Director Hong Xingguo sat expressionless.

The three walked onto the high platform, facing the gazes of the entire Seventh Company.

"Look, everyone take a look, these are the 'talents' who pried open the warehouse door."

Gao Cheng stood beside Feng Yuxiu, pointing and gesturing with a sarcastic tone.

"Do you feel like heroes? Very original, aren't you? How high-spirited. Fortunately, there wasn't an atomic bomb in the warehouse, or were the three of you planning to ignite it? Huh?"

"Report, Company Commander, we wouldn't dare!" Gan Xiaoning reported loudly.

"Bai Tiejun, I always thought you were quite honest, usually acting like a wilted garlic, so how did you get so bold?" Gao Cheng looked at Bai Tiejun.

"Report, Company Commander, we won!" Bai Tiejun still shouted loudly.

Consequently, Gao Cheng turned his gaze toward Feng Yuxiu.

Below, the First Platoon Leader subconsciously touched his head; the bump from being hit by the stone had not yet subsided.

"All of you, get down!"

The three returned to their places.

Gao Cheng changed his tone, "Exercises should be like this: use every available resource to maximize the chances of victory within the rules. These three are not bad, truly not bad."

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi looked at each other, both wondering if the company commander had suffered a mental breakdown.

He had just punished the three of them, so why start praising them as soon as the meeting began?

Gao Cheng smiled, "Remember, in an exercise, you must win with the greatest possibility within the rules. No matter the means, as long as it is permitted, you can use it!"

The meeting ended with this sentence.

Everyone was confused as they were led back by their respective squads.

They didn't know what the company commander was up to.

The next few days were very peaceful.

There were no more exercises, only daily drills and training.

Bai Tiejun also went from being the last-place soldier looked down upon by the Third Squad to someone people were willing to listen to.

This was status.

At noon, Shi Jin walked in from outside, frowning.

"Xu Sanduo, someone is looking for you."

Feng Yuxiu raised his head, "Who?"

"I don't know, a woman."

Boom!

In an instant, Bai Tiejun, who was polishing his shoes, Gan Xiaoning, who was lying on the bed, and Wu Liuyi, who was studying special forces manuals, all suddenly raised their heads.

"Hurry up, there are many people waiting for you downstairs!"

Bai Tiejun threw down his shoes and rushed to the window, looked down, and said, "My mother, there really is a woman. Hey, Sanduo, is she your sweetheart?"

Feng Yuxiu looked puzzled and walked downstairs.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go down and see. It's rare that a woman is looking for Sanduo." Gan Xiaoning followed closely behind.

Downstairs at the Seventh Company, a woman was surrounded by numerous soldiers.

In a place where even a female cockroach was a rarity, the appearance of such a vibrant young girl naturally made the wolves' eyes glow green.

Cheng Cai's eyes were even red with envy.

In his eyes, how could someone as unremarkable as Feng Yuxiu have such a beautiful girl looking for him?

There must be something wrong with his ancestral graves.

Feng Yuxiu saw her the moment he went down.

This woman was the one who had been doing rounds when he was hospitalized; she had been beaten by a drunkard, and he had only intervened because he was in a bad mood at the time.

"He's here, he's here. This comrade, this is Xu Sanduo." The Third Platoon Leader pointed at the indifferent Feng Yuxiu with a smile.

"Thank you for saving me."

The girl lowered her head and unwrapped the cloth strips covering her hands.

It was a silk banner.

Written on it were the words: "Courageous Act for a Just Cause."

"It was my duty; our responsibility is to protect the people," Feng Yuxiu said, having learned the company commander's rhetoric.

The girl handed the banner to Feng Yuxiu.

Staff Zhang Ganshi, who was watching the show from the side, flashed out from behind, holding a camera in both hands, "Stand together, let's take a picture!"

"That soldier, stand still, face this way for a picture!"

Feng Yuxiu felt a bit disgusted and turned to leave.

The girl was stunned and hurriedly chased after him, "Your name is Xu Sanduo, right? My name is..."

Feng Yuxiu turned around instantly, "Go away!"

The girl lowered her head, feeling wronged, but still looked up, "Can I write to you?"

Feng Yuxiu walked into the gate without looking back.

"Comrade, you should go back," the Third Platoon Leader said with a smile.

The girl lowered her head, looking back every few steps, and walked out of the barracks in disappointment.

The Third Platoon Leader's expression was somewhat ugly, "Who let her in?"

The First Platoon Leader spoke slowly, "Her father is the Battalion Commander, how could she not get in?"

The Third Platoon Leader was stunned, then shook his head, "What a pity, Xu Sanduo missed his chance."

"Heh heh..." The First Platoon Leader sneered and turned to leave.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? What do you mean? Make yourself clear!"

Staff Zhang Ganshi's face was terrifyingly dark.

A figure suddenly rushed out from behind; it was Li Meng, who had been transferred from the Grassland Fifth Squad to the propaganda department.

"What's wrong, Staff Zhang Ganshi?" Li Meng was holding a notebook, preparing to write.

"What are you good for? Why are you so slow? Get lost!"

Staff Zhang Ganshi didn't give him a good look.

Li Meng didn't dare to show any emotion; he had finally made it here from the Gobi's Grassland Fifth Squad, so how could he dare to have any complaints against Staff Zhang Ganshi?

He could only lower his head and apologize humbly.

This slightly exposed romantic scene came to an abrupt end.

Feng Yuxiu began his normal training.

He could already feel the heat of the Qi circulating within his body.

The explosive power of his legs was enough to kick an adult to death.

And he began comprehensive training in all the skills from his previous life.

Internal skills, leg techniques, fist techniques, weapons, and hidden weapons.

At four o'clock in the morning, a week later.

"Emergency assembly!"

"Emergency assembly for the whole company!"

The bugle call shattered the peace of the night.

"Emergency assembly!!!"

Shi Jin sat up abruptly and roared.

This bugle call went from the Steel Seventh Company to the Red Third Company and the First Company.

It swept through the entire regiment!

It was sudden and disturbed the entire regiment with great speed.

A major exercise targeting the 702nd Regiment had begun!

It was also a turning point that would decide the fate of the Steel Seventh Company!

They were facing a specialized Blue Army.

This Blue Army was named: Old A Brigade.
