Chapter 0104: This place is not safe to stay.

Inside the tent, Zheng Yingqi slowly opened his eyes, assessed his physical condition, and then smiled wryly—every cell in his body was complaining, resulting in excruciating body aches.

Even his head felt dizzy, a feeling that he, who was used to controlling his body, found very uncomfortable.

After several futile struggles, he finally accepted reality and, like someone waking up from a hangover, began to recall.

Memories slowly surfaced: the assessment, Old A, the oak forest...

Like a movie playing in his mind, Zheng Yingqi's mind flashed through all the previous events, finally settling on the oak forest—did he pass the test?

Zheng Yingqi smiled bitterly as he thought about it. Wu Liuyi's leg was still having problems, just like in the original story. Had that guy who was stubbornly holding on finally reached the last step?

Ok?

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled some scattered images.

Mission accomplished? Precision? Reward? Make a wish?

As he pondered this, he gave a wry smile, muttering to himself, "What a dream..."

He naturally assumed that everything he remembered was a dream; otherwise, how could he have made a wish like "May there be no more war in this world"? If he were to make a wish, it would at least be "Give me a wife"...

As Zheng Yingqi mocked the saintly sentimentality in his dream, the tent flap was lifted, and Yuan Lang walked in, bathed in the setting sun.

"woke up?"

"woke up."

"Not bad. I thought you'd have to wait another day to wake up." Yuan Lang tossed an apple to Zheng Yingqi. Zheng Yingqi caught it casually and looked at the bright red fruit. His stomach growled involuntarily, and he didn't stand on ceremony, taking a bite right away.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Yuan Lang looked at Zheng Yingqi curiously, guessing that Zheng Yingqi must have a lot of questions right now.

As Zheng Yingqi munched on an apple, he said, "You'll definitely tell me what you need to say."

"The candidates have been chosen." Yuan Lang watched Zheng Yingqi's movements, and sure enough, Zheng Yingqi stopped after hearing this. "Cheng Cai, Zhao Zhiyu, and Xu Sanduo will take those three spots."

Zheng Yingqi stared blankly at the apple for a long time before asking, "So, I'm the one who's already chosen?" The fact that Yuan Lang was here to say these things to him proved that he had the weight to warrant Yuan Lang's presence. Apart from being selected for the Old A, Zheng Yingqi couldn't think of any other ability he had that would make a dignified lieutenant colonel lower himself to his post.

"Um."

"What about Wu Liuyi?" Zheng Yingqi looked at Yuan Lang unwillingly.

He's eliminated.

Why?

"His leg is broken, and the doctor said he needs at least three months to recover—we don't have enough time to wait for him." Yuan Lang said frankly and then waited for Zheng Yingqi to question him. From the fact that Zheng Yingqi was able to help, carry, and drag Wu Liuyi to the finish line from such a far distance, he could guess the deep friendship between them.

But the expected furious questioning didn't come. Instead, Zheng Yingqi asked with a look of surprise and shock, "Leg...leg broken?"

What he really wanted to ask was, "Did your bare leg break?"

Yuan Lang nodded and said, "Don't worry, the fracture caused by the violent impact won't leave any aftereffects."

Zheng Yingqi listened in a daze. If Yuan Lang hadn't been there, he would have kept exclaiming "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!" over and over again. So it wasn't a dream after all—this…

This……

This……

He was shocked by the system's wish, and also felt a bit amused and exasperated. He had waited so long, only to have it all go to Wu Liuyi in the end—well, it wasn't a loss if Wu Liuyi benefited, but damn it, it was this kind of job where one had to keep their merits hidden, it was really...

Yuan Lang, observing the constantly shifting expressions on Zheng Yingqi's face, assumed he was struggling to understand and was brewing anger. However, after waiting for a while, he saw Zheng Yingqi let out a long sigh and mutter to himself:

"This is fate..."

"You're all quite good," Yuan Lang said, feeling a little "disappointed" before Zheng Yingqi could erupt in anger. His well-intentioned but ultimately unsatisfying remarks had been rendered useless. Composing himself, he patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder.

"I had someone listening in when the maintenance station was running—your performance didn't disappoint me, it was very good."

"monitor?"

Zheng Yingqi's eyes widened; this didn't seem to happen in the plot!

"The only jewel in the war zone, the only place where you can get 'illegal supplies,' do you think I would overlook it?" Yuan Lang said with a smile, "It was a trap, but unfortunately, we didn't catch any prey there."

Yuan Lang expressed his disappointment, but he was actually very happy. Such a self-disciplined soldier is what makes an excellent soldier!

"Alright, I have to go now. Tomorrow afternoon I'll take you to where you should go," he glanced at his watch. "You have 21 hours to remember this."

Yuan Lang finished speaking and left, leaving behind a dashing silhouette. Zheng Yingqi chuckled coldly. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been fooled by you. But who am I? How could I be fooled by you?

Ha ha!

Forcing themselves to get up, enduring the excruciating pain, they enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the division's reconnaissance battalion. After reuniting with the equally pitiful Xu Sanduo, the two said goodbye. However, their comrades from the division's reconnaissance battalion inquired about them:

"Hey bro, are you guys familiar with the examiners from 703?"

Before Zheng Yingqi could speak, Xu Sanduo honestly replied, "Not familiar with him."

"Oh, that's strange... how come they just vanished without a trace like they've disappeared into thin air?" The soldier from the division's reconnaissance battalion muttered as he left, having heard this answer many times before.

Zheng Yingqi only showed a strange expression after everyone had left, as if he was trying hard to suppress a laugh, or perhaps he was constipated. Xu Sanduo hurriedly asked, "Yingqi, what's wrong with you?"

"No...we're professionals, we never laugh when we're not supposed to." Zheng Yingqi said, and just like before, he casually put his arm around Xu Sanduo, acting like a soldier without any semblance of military bearing. The soldiers of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion, however, seemed not to notice and ignored their lack of military discipline.

Seeing Zheng Yingqi pull him away, Xu Sanduo asked curiously, "Aren't we going to say goodbye to the company commander?"

"What are you saying goodbye for? Let's go! I, Zheng Banxian, have calculated that this place is not safe to stay any longer!" Zheng Yingqi chuckled. He wouldn't dare to go to Gao Cheng now, let alone go to Gao Cheng with Xu Sanduo—what if Gao Cheng saw the two of them and brought up both old and new grudges? Before, he would just kick them, but what if he used weapons now?

Xu Sanduo scratched his head, feeling that it was too much not to say goodbye to the company commander...
