Chapter 769: Chapter 768 Training Ends_1 Chapter 769: Chapter 768 Training Ends_1 36th Division–
Deep in the night, within the dense jungle of Jilan Mountain, a significant force emerged. Each person was indistinguishable from their original appearance; their clothes were filth and some were even torn and tattered. Their faces were smeared with paint, and they had mud from rolling in the dirt.
Under the dim moonlight, all anyone could see were pairs of bright eyes and white teeth gleaming when they laughed.
“Good grief! Are we still alive?”
“Give me a smoke! Any kind-hearted person, give me a smoke!”
“Get lost! Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
“When did the 36th Division take in a beggar? Scram, no good Samaritans here.”
A group of people chattered and howled all along the way, their voices echoing into the distance. Some were even too exhausted to walk and had to be dragged along, tumbling down on occasion.
Suddenly, a vicious roar echoed, “All of you shut up!”
The crowd instantly fell silent.
“Yizhong!” Huo Beijiang’s indifferent voice echoed in the crowd, “Training is over, don’t take it so seriously.”
Lin Yizhong was exasperated; wasn’t he just concerned that the Division Commander was in a bad mood and that everyone would become his scapegoats?
“Move it! Go back and take a shower.”
As the crowd reached the gate to the base, they all scattered, fearing that if they arrived too late, there would be no spaces left in the bathhouse and they’d have to queue.
After everyone had left, Huo Beijiang and Ning Di stepped out from the crowd. Huo Beijiang was wearing a tight sweatshirt, hugging his body, revealing tantalizing muscular contours and obliques. Every inch was just right.
“Boss.” Lin Yizhong ran up to Huo Beijiang, grinning, “So, was the training good enough during this period?” Although he acted strict and fierce during training, he was fairly satisfied with the results, deep down.
These were all men he had personally selected, and after this period of training, each one had improved significantly.
Huo Beijiang knew Lin Yizhong all too well, and immediately gave him a scornful look. “Huh, what a load of crap! Wasted my time just to train them to this level?”
Ning Di touched his nose and gave Lin Yizhong a sympathetic look.
“What’s not to like?” Lin Yizhong was not pleased, “I think it’s quite good. If you think it’s not good, it’s because you are comparing them with the Snow Eagles! Can these rookies really compare? They never even held a gun before.”
“You think you have a reason?” Huo Beijiang glanced at him, “Ning Di, hit him.”
Ning Di immediately rolled up his uniform sleeves. He had not participated in the training but came to pick up the commander, so his outfit was clean and neat. To be asked to hit Lin Yizhong now, he was displeased that it might soil his outfit.
Lin Yizhong immediately ducked and ran, “Boss, I’m already about to pass out from exhaustion, you can’t let Ning Di take advantage of this.”
“Even when you’re at your best, you still can’t beat Ning Di, right?”
“…” Lin Yizhong wanted to burst into tears, “Boss, don’t put it that way!”
“Then how should I say it?” Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow then feigned a realization, “I see, I should say that you have never beaten Ning Di.”
As expected, the Boss’ barbs were as sharp as ever. If words got out about this, how would he ever lead soldiers or train them?
“Commander, the car is ready! Are you going to see the lady?” Ning Di asked on his own accord.
Huo Beijiang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Forget it! I’ll see her tomorrow.”
“Huh?” Ning Di was quite surprised that he could actually restrain himself from seeing her. Had he not held him back, he would have set off to see her long ago.
