The location of the mission is a very lush jungle, there is a small village near the forest, the people in the village are plainly dressed and look very closed off.
Qin Li rubs his eyes furiously: “This is near B city, right? Why does it look like a wild mountain? No way, housing prices in the surrounding cities of B City have skyrocketed, there shouldn’t be such a desolate place, how could the developers let it go?”
He has never talked much, and it is a little uncomfortable to say so much word all of a sudden.
Liang Xian whispered in Tan Yan’s ear and laughed, “Housing prices are Qin Li’s heart disease, he will talks a lot when it comes to the current housing prices.”
Even they are elites, and may have high wages in the future, but they still can’t afford to buy a house in B City.
Tan Yan silently remembered his two sets of stores in the tourism development area, plus the savings from his work over the years, it seems… after selling the store, he could buy a house in B City.
But this thought disappeared in a flash. Tan Yan had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, so he didn’t have much obsession with the house. And think about the ‘void’. In case the expansion of the void can’t be controlled and the house is swallowed, Tan Yan is confident that the void will disappear, but the people and things swallowed by the void will enter another world. He don’t want the house he bought with his life savings ended up the same as Minister Yu’s small electric police vehicle.
“The secret base is near B city, right?” Qiu Qizheng said, “The kind that are not shown on the map, we have quite a few secret bases like this, not everyone can use them.”
“We can use a base of this size in one military training?” Cui Heyu doubted, “Before the military training, I checked the situation in the past. Basically, they were taken to the border by planes for joint training with the garrison. Why did they use a secret base around B City this time?”
Tan Yan’s eyelids twitched slightly when he heard Cui Heyu’s words, maybe… it was for him.
He couldn’t leave Ping County and the Minister had no choice but to open the base.
“I’ve heard things here before,” Liang Xian said with a frown, “Our mission is dificult this time, go into the village first, stay vigilant.”
“Since we have to go into the village, it’s not necessary to go to Ping County to buy supplies.” Cui Heyu couldn’t help but want to clash with Liang Xian whenever he had a chance.
“Are your brains on your waistband? Will the people living in this kind of village near the base be as simple as they appear?”
Before Liang Xian finished speaking, Tan Yan suddenly covered his mouth and made several gestures to everyone.
[Silence, someone is coming, 1 is running ahead, and 3 people are chasing behind.] Tan Yan expressed with military hand signals1行軍手勢 xíngjūn shǒushì: military hand signals..
Where is the people? The hearing and intuition of several people are also quite sharp, but this is not the time for question, the four of them followed Tan Yan and hid behind some tall trees, didn’t go deep into the jungle, but only spying at the edge.
After a full 10 minutes, a young man in a camouflage uniform ran over breathlessly. It was Liu Tianhui from the third group.
Liang Xian and Tan Yan hid behind a tree. He saw that Liu Tianhui was in a mess. The clothes on his arms seemed to have been cut by a sharp object, the clothes around the cut soaked through, obviously injured.
He remembered that the third group were the first to grab the modified car, which had weapons on it and was the most advantageous of all groups.
Several people behind the tree exchanged glances, none of them wanted to make a move. They are rivals with the third group, so now they shouldn’t…
Without waiting for the few people to discuss the results, Liang Xian felt a whirlwind blowing in his ears, the people around him disappeared.
Tan Yan didn’t rush out rashly, he jumped onto the tree. Although Liu Tianhui eyes full of reluctance, he still hadn’t given up. If he wasn’t stupid, he would definitely hide in the jungle. Only in this way would he have a chance to escape.
Sure enough, Liu Tianhui burrowed into the jungle as soon as he saw it. Tan Yan was wearing a black T-shirt, and even his trousers were black. Liang Xian instructed several people to choose dark-colored clothes, so that it would be more convenient to move at night.
Tan Yan was like a black panther walking silently on the tree trunk, jumping on top of Qiu Qizheng without even alarming him. He quickly caught up with Liu Tianhui, who had just entered the woods, and jumped down from the tree, covering Liu Tianhui’s mouth before he could scream, and dragged him up the tree.
Liu Tianhui was also professionally trained, and at a glance, he recognized that it was the transfer student Tan Yan. He didn’t struggle and was carried by Tan Yan as he flew through the trees.
When he jumped to the tree where Qiu Qizheng was hiding again, Tan Yan directly threw Liu Tianhui to Qiu Qizheng’s side, and he returned to Liang Xian’s side without stopping.
Liang Xian: “…”
Qiu Qizheng: Why give it to me…
At this time, the three people who were in pursuit had already reached the edge of the woods, they didn’t enter the woods, they left after discussing for a while, their voices were very faint that even Liang Xian, who was the closest, couldn’t hear them clearly.
Hearing the people really walked away, the six people found a place to have a discussion, Liu Tianhui took out a bandage from his pocket to stop the bleeding.
“You guys still have bandages?” Cui Heyu asked jealously.
“The car is fully equipped, with plenty of weapons and a lot of portable food. How about you?” Liu Tianhui doesn’t seem to know that this kind of behavior is called pulling hatred.
“Squad leader, let’s just throw him away.” Cui Heyu said, “He’s useless.”
Qiu Qizheng understood Tan Yan’s meaning at this time, so he followed Cui Heyu and said: “First search his belongings and then throw him into the village. Tan Yan was dressed in black, he made no sound at all when he moved, and he probably wouldn’t be found if he disappear at night.
Liang Xian was even less polite and said directly to Qin Li: “Tie up!”
Qin Li, who has a strong execution power, immediately took action.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t you have any love for your classmates?!” It was only then that Liu Tianhui realized that he was the meat on the chopping block in ‘To be the meat on somebody’s chopping block’2人為刀俎我為魚肉 rénwéi dāozǔ wǒ wèi yúròu: lit. to be the meat on somebody’s chopping block (idiom); fig. to be at somebody’s mercy., and this piece of meat even rubbed itself under the blade to show its fatness.
Liang Xian grabbed Liu Tianhui’s hair with his left hand and smiled wickedly: “You have classmates love, why didn’t you give us the car back then? Where’s your car?”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll confess.” Liu Tianhui said helplessly, “Our navigation position is the village chief’s house, with the identity of the village chief’s college son’s classmates, just finished the military training, and go to the classmates home to play. When we arrived at the village chief’s house, we didn’t even have time for a sip of water when we heard someone calling for help in the firewood house. Our ‘classmate’ the village chief’s son said that his sister was mentally ill, and now she was ill, so he dared not let her out to hurt others.”
Liu Tianhui and the others know that things are not that simple. This must be a clue. There is something wrong with the ‘classmate’, and the mentally ill sister may be a hostage.
So they sneaked into the woodshed and saw a girl who was tied up. They rescued her and found out that she was trafficked. There are four more girls like her. She doesn’t know where they are locked up, but know that there are young and unmarried men in their homes.
Liu Tianhui and others put the ‘sister’ in the car, and the village chief’s son led people to chase them, as a new student, the village chief’s son is quite strong, he can knock down the two of them in the same group alone.
The people brought by the village chief’s son were armed with guns, and they shot through the engine, so Liu Tianhui and the others could only run away desperately.
“In the end, I was the only one who escaped.” Liu Tianhui speaks with excitement and pull the wound, he grimaced painfully, “This group of grandsons3In China culture, they show respect to the older generation, since grandson is low on generation, it’s used as a cuss. On the contrary, if one wants to show respect, they may call the other person big brother (哥哥/大哥), or other older generation. is attacking for real!”
“Skin trauma,” After Liang Xian examined the wound, he said, “Clean and tidy, no after-effects. The other party keeps their hands, otherwise you won’t be able to escape.”
“Where are the others now?” Qiu Qizheng asked.
“They were knocked out and dragged into the village.” Liu Tianhui said, “I don’t know where the rest of the groups are, I haven’t seen them.”
“Each group set has a different location…” Liang Xian analyzed, “Our speed is already quite slow, and we were delayed on the way for a while. Except for the group that had to install the tires, the rest of the group should have arrived. But we only saw you alone… Looks like they were either sent straight into the woods or was caught like you.”
“Ah! I’m the only one left, it seems that there is no hope for the mission.” Liu Tianhui said cheekily,
“Boss Liang, let me mix with you guys, I’m injured now, I can’t move around, maybe I’ll get caught at some poing, I might as well follow you guys to be safe.”
Cui Heyu sneered: “Heh, you want to follow us deep into the enemy’s lair to rescue your companions, and also provoke our relationship by the way, you think too beautiful!”
Liu Tianhui was dumbfounded: “I just want to rub a wave of protection, where do I to provoke the relationship?”
“You call Liang Xian boss, don’t you just want me to fight him over who decides who’s the boss?” Cui Heyu gave a look of I see through you.
Liu Tianhui: “…”
No, I didn’t think you guys would be so naïve, but I didn’t expect you to be so naïve.
“Don’t embarrass people.” Qiu Qizheng presses Cui Heyu’s head down, “Let’s do our own thing, you can act on your own later.”
“No, we have to save people!” Liang Xian and Tan Yan said in unison.
Liang Xian heard another voice synchronized with his own, and couldn’t help but glance at Tan Yan again. The new classmate is very calm, contrary to the slightly childish face, he had an aura of composure around him, which makes him a bit mysterious.
“Why?” Qiu Qizheng didn’t get angry at Liang Xian for refuting his words, “What did you guess?”
“The mission was for us to successfully rescue the ‘hostage’ and find ‘criminal evidence’. I’ve been wondering what this ‘hostage’ refers to. Liu Tianhui and others identity is ‘the village chief’s son’s classmates’, if we think beyond military training exercises, when they really encounter this kind of situation, are they counted as ‘hostages’ or not?”
“Counted!” Cui Heyu lowered his face, “Really know how to play dirty, telling us to compete while taking our competitor as ‘hostages’ at the same time.”
“It doesn’t count as playing dirty.” Liang Xian patted Liu Tianhui’s head, “Letting this guy out is already a reminder. The wound on his arm was cut by a dagger at close range, and he was able to take down two of our classmates with his own strength, he were so close to him, can he still let him escape? This is simply pouring out the water of the entire Pacific Ocean4放了整個太平洋的水 fàngle zhěnggè tàipíngyáng de shuǐ: Releasing/pouring out water means giving advantage or not doing their best to win. So pouring out the water of the entire Pacific Ocean roughly means giving huge advantages to the opponent.!”
“Those people should know our assembly location and deliberately drive Liu Tianhui here for us to rescue.” Cui Heyu immediately understood, “If Tan Yan hadn’t made a move just now, we would have missed this clue. Really if we were a little careless, we would’ve failed.”
“This is how the actual combat is.” Liang Xian looked at Tan Yan, “Why did you risk exposure to save him, and why did you support me to save him?”
“Why not save?” Tan Yan asked back even more puzzled.
Why not save? There are many answers to this question. For Liang Xian and others, they are competitors, this is just an exercise, rescuing the opponent is tantamount to adding trouble to oneself.
But what if this really happened? Why don’t you save your companions who have the same purpose as you, are in a competitive relationship, as well as being comrades-in-arms?
“You’re right, there is no option of ‘not saving’ at all.” Liang Xian said seriously.

Instructor Zhou: Hehehe, I just wait for them all to come back after failing their missions and be slapped in the face by me. Just thinking about it makes me happy, Hehehe~~~
Tan Yan: Did you see it? This is the wrong way to teach, come see my way.
