255 Chapter 255. Squad Monitor Protecting His Children
After Luo Fei spoke, he couldn’t be bothered to look at Ye Xin’s reaction. He lifted his hand and glanced at the time on his watch. He let out a soft sigh and scanned his surroundings as if he had made a tough decision. He then turned to Zhuang Xian and said softly, “Right now, two students in our group are injured, and their injuries are not light! I plan to let everyone rest for the night and continue to rush to the target location tomorrow morning! The place you’ve chosen is quite suitable!”
When Zhuang Xian heard squad leader Luo’s words, she already understood what he meant. She thought for a moment and said, “None of the students have any experience in cross-country hiking. It’s already so difficult to travel during the day, let alone continue at night! Squad leader, your decision is very wise. I also thought so just now. The terrain here is relatively flatter and suitable for setting up tents and resting!”
Luo Fei nodded and added, “The view here is also splendid. If there’s any sudden situation, we can also notice it immediately!
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian curiously. He asked the question that had been bothering him the whole day, “I see that you’re very familiar with the military field training and some of the soldier’s combat methods. Did you serve in the Army before? ”
Luo Fei had already wanted to ask this question when he and Zhuang Xian had rescued the student who had accidentally fallen into an animal trap. From Zhuang Xian’s decisiveness and intelligence, she was a soldier with individual solid combat experience and strength!
However, when he looked at Zhuang Xian’s young and beautiful face, Luo Fei was not sure. Zhuang Xian seemed too young. If she had military experience, how old was she when she joined the Army?
Zhuang Xian knew that she could not hide her abilities and was prepared to be questioned by outsiders. She looked at Luo Fei and explained, “I’ve never been a soldier. I have a Grandpa who’s a soldier. He likes to train us like this, so I know more about it.
Li Qin quietly listened to the conversation between sister Xian and the squad monitor. It was only when he heard Zhuang Xian’s last sentence that he couldn’t help but look up at her. The cunning in his eyes was almost out of control.
Zhuang Xian glared at him without saying anything and let the squad monitor look at her.
After half a minute, Luo Fei reluctantly nodded, showing that he had accepted Zhuang Xian’s explanation. He turned around and climbed up the tree beside him. He said to the students around him in a clear voice, “Everyone, set up a tent on the spot. We’re going to rest here for the night! It’s getting late, so we have to move quickly. The tents in your military backpacks are the simplest and easiest to unpack. If you don’t know how to unpack them, you can learn from each other! If you can’t solve it, you can come to me! Now, move!”
Everyone, including Li Qin, was pleased with Luo Fei’s order. After a long day, no one would not want to rest.
Lin Feng and Ye Xin, whose argument had been interrupted by the squad monitor, had also given up and began to throw themselves into their group’s tent-setting operation. However, the two of them didn’t like each other.
Ye Xin squatted on the ground and looked at the tent stands scattered all over the ground. She heaved a deep, relieved sigh, feeling helpless and angry. The feeling of being in someone else’s palm all the time made her feel uncomfortable!
Zhuang Xian and Li Qin were not the only ones who were not on good terms with her. The four in her group seemed to dislike her, including Zhang Yang, who had risked his life to save her. He appeared to be dissatisfied with her because she argued with Lin Feng. Now, he was no longer giving her a good look.
Ye Xin was sulking as she looked at the ground when she heard a voice calling her from her left. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhuang Jie acting suspiciously!
“Student Ye Xin! Ye Xin? Ye Xin!” Zhuang Jie called out softly as she looked at Ye Xin’s back. When she saw her turn around, she immediately tiptoed to Ye Xin!
Ye Xin looked up at her but didn’t say anything.
Seeing Ye Xin’s neutral expression, Zhuang Jie immediately put on a flattering smile and said to Ye Xin, “I am Zhuang Jie; thank you for speaking up for me just now! Zhuang Xian has always been a lunatic.”
When she heard Zhuang Jie’s resentful tone, Ye Xin felt she could roughly guess why she had come to find her!
A light flashed across Ye Xin’s mind. She smiled gently and said, “You’re welcome; I’m just saying what I have to say!”
