Chapter 0119: This play can't be performed!
The old and deserted military barracks suddenly became lively, with 11 cadets crowding into Zheng Yingqi's room to inquire about the details of Yuan Lang's kidnapping.
"Zheng Yingqi, just say something so we can all vent our anger!" Tuo Yonggang practically begged on his knees. Everyone had been pleading with Zheng Yingqi for a while, but he just wouldn't say a word.
"43, you're wrong, Zheng Yingqi. We've been through thick and thin together, so tell me why!"
The trainees pressed him relentlessly, leaving Zheng Yingqi with no choice but to confess: "This actually has little to do with me—it was this kid who did it!" He pointed at Xu Sanduo, who panicked and hurriedly waved his hands.
"It wasn't me, I just arrested... him."
As he finished speaking, his voice became barely audible, as if he was afraid that Yuan Lang would hear him.
"Grasp?"
The trainees stared at Xu Sanduo in disbelief; many of them had their mouths agape enough to fit an apple. Tuo Yonggang grabbed Xu Sanduo impatiently: "Xu Sanduo, explain yourself! You said you captured him? He's a great demon?"
A group of people looked at Xu Sanduo, hoping he would nod in agreement. Even if it was something that happened a long time ago, they could laugh for a year or two just hearing that the great demon had such an experience.
It might take longer, after all, those three months were unforgettable, and it will take a year or two to forget them.
"I don't know how it happened, but I just grabbed him," Xu Sanduo said shyly. Zheng Yingqi exclaimed and said, "Let me tell you—in that exercise, our regiment was fighting against the Old A. At that time, our regiment was an armored regiment, and our company was an armored reconnaissance company. As a result, halfway through, the tank company behind us was completely wiped out by the Old A. We were left alone and could only retreat to defend."
"The big devil killed our squad leader during his night raid, and then killed Cheng Cai during the day. Xu Sanduo was furious and chased the big devil for who knows how far. In the end, the two of them fought all the way to a cliff. The little devil wouldn't let go, and Xu Sanduo risked his life to capture him alive."
A group of people stared at Xu Sanduo in shock. Xu Sanduo scratched his head sheepishly, "I didn't think that much about it at the time."
"Awesome! Xu Sanduo, you're amazing! That was so damn satisfying!" Tuo Yonggang hugged Xu Sanduo tightly, almost kissing him, which startled Xu Sanduo, who scattered in panic. Wu Zhe said, "Keep calm, keep calm... That was so damn satisfying! Xu Sanduo, well done!"
Well, he couldn't stay calm either.
After a while, Wu Zhe pressed Zheng Yingqi for an explanation: "Then what happened with him being tied up?"
Zheng Yingqi laughed and said, "I was young then..." A group of people booed. Zheng Yingqi's face fell, looking like he was going to stay silent. The crowd quickly apologized and begged him to continue. Only then did Zheng Yingqi speak:
"Back then I was young and impulsive. I thought this guy was so arrogant, so I made up an excuse, saying I was afraid he wouldn't be safe as a prisoner, and just tied him up—yes, standard prisoner-tying method."
"Grass!"
Holy crap!
"That felt so good! That felt so good! Hahaha, I never thought the big devil could be so pathetic—it's a shame I wasn't there at the time. If I had been, I would have laughed for an hour straight."
"An hour isn't enough! It would take at least a whole day! I'd be happy to laugh until I'm hospitalized!"
The entire dormitory was filled with unrestrained laughter, so loud that it could be heard even from hundreds of meters away. Qi Huan thought the group was celebrating joining Old A, never imagining that they were laughing at their captain.
"Sorry, our training isn't over yet. I have to keep playing the bad guy for a while longer..." Qi Huan muttered to himself. He really didn't want to be a bad guy anymore because he realized he had too much talent for it and was afraid that if it went on for too long, he would actually become a bad guy...
Although it feels pretty good to be a bad guy.
Then, Qi Huan blew his whistle again. The shrill whistle had barely faded when Qi Huan roared, "Emergency assembly!"
The 11 people who were just laughing and joking in the dormitory rushed into their respective dorm rooms at a frantic pace, packed their luggage, and put everything into backpacks.
"You're all a bunch of worthless bastards! You think you're all made of gold just because you've been reborn? You're still worthless! Instead of staying in your own rooms, you're running around in other people's rooms. Do you think this is your own home? The captain just flattered you a bit and you think you're different now? Get yourselves in line! You're a bunch of stupid donkeys that won't move unless you're whipped!"
Qi Huan used his unique ferocity to make these trainees, who had experienced dire situations, realize that Old A was still the same Old A.
"Report, can we stay here?" Tuo Yonggang, perhaps because he had just burst into wild laughter, was now acting up again.
Qi Huan glanced coldly at Tuo Yonggang: "Yes—as long as you get out of here, you can stay here next time you come."
"A person doesn't need to speak to be eloquent," Tuo Yonggang thought of Wu Zhe's evaluation and immediately calmed down.
Qi Huan shouted the command: "Using Lianhu as the reference point, form a single file and turn right! Can't Song even walk properly after a day? And you call them all veterans? Stupid soldiers!"
In fact, this was Qi Huan's habitual reprimand, and those who had theoretically risen to the level of Old A were still listening in the same way.
After crossing the line that used to be an insurmountable barrier, we arrived at the newly built, bright and grand military barracks. This place was a completely different world from the old barracks. But for the 11 soldiers who had become Old A, this place was not as good as the old barracks they had just left.
The older members welcomed the newcomers in their own way, but it was anything but kind or friendly. Instead, it was full of sarcasm and ridicule. Their casual discussions, disdainful attitude, and spectator-like behavior when choosing roommates, which stung everyone.
Zheng Yingqi was chosen by a lieutenant. The moment the door closed, it stopped the ongoing mockery outside. Zheng Yingqi lazily put his bag on the ground and began to look around the room.
The dormitory, equipped with a standard computer, a private bathroom, and dedicated entertainment and learning equipment, is several times more luxurious than the dormitory Gao Cheng had in the Seventh Company.
"Pick up the stuff!" The lieutenant's voice was as cold as ice. Zheng Yingqi turned around, then suddenly smiled warmly, "Brother, stop acting—even our captain couldn't trick me, do you think you can?"
The lieutenant paused, then said in an even colder voice, "I told you to pick it up!"
"For me, the three months that required careful consideration are over. As for the remaining assessments, I'll just deal with whatever comes my way. So there's no need to pretend like this—why don't you go ask Qi Huan if it's necessary to continue acting for me?" Zheng Yingqi said with a grin. The lieutenant looked at Zheng Yingqi with a feeling of being unable to bite a hedgehog.
"Hahaha, I tricked you out!" Zheng Yingqi laughed with a wicked grin. With God's-eye view, why would he need to trick anyone? But couldn't he at least get some revenge? Let him have a little gambling fun!
The lieutenant was completely bewildered, unsure how to continue acting.
At that moment, the door opened, and Qi Huan rushed in, quickly closing the door behind him. He then habitually put on his fierce "mask," but Zheng Yingqi seemed not to notice. Instead, he looked at Qi Huan with a half-smile. The two stared at each other for a full half minute before Qi Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The captain said he probably won't be able to trick you this time either." Qi Huan smiled wryly: "Just as the captain guessed—you're too cunning, even more cunning than an old hand."
Zheng Yingqi naturally denied it: "How could I be a seasoned veteran? Instructor, is it fun to play the bad guy? I think you're really addicted to it!" Zheng Yingqi spoke to Qi Huan in a familiar manner, not at all like someone who had been tormented by Qi Huan's fierce demeanor for three months. His strong mental fortitude made Qi Huan mutter to himself.
What kind of monster is this guy?!
"I'm speechless—I've never seen anyone like you before. We were almost driven crazy by this trick back then, but it didn't work on you." Qi Huan was extremely frustrated. Zheng Yingqi felt as comfortable as drinking rock sugar pear soup on a hot day when he saw Qi Huan's frustrated expression.
"The captain instructed that if you see through it, he would explain it to you clearly, but not expose you," Qi Huan instructed.
Zheng Yingqi nodded understandingly: "I know, I'm also very much looking forward to your 'conspiracy'."
Qi Huan wanted to kick someone—this kid had only just moved over from the other side and was already acting incredibly arrogant; could it be that he'd finally shown his true colors?
"Liu Jiadong, this is your future roommate—you two should discuss it yourselves, don't bother others, you understand." Qi Huan finished speaking and tried to leave, but Liu Jiadong blocked his way:
"I don't think I'm suited for this task. This kid is too difficult to deal with. Let's find someone else!"
Liu Jiadong's frustration is beyond words. The script hasn't even been opened yet, and he's already seen through to the inside out. How can he play the game now? The key is that he still has to pretend to be stupid and act for others. It's such a loss. He finally got the chance to "trick the newcomer" by drawing lots, but he never expected it to turn out like this!
Zheng Yingqi burst into laughter, the gloom of the past three months vanishing in an instant.
(The new dungeon is coming up soon, and I'm worried about how to choose the right one—there are only two or three thousand chapters left before the new dungeon, and I'm still worrying about how to do it!)
