Zhao Zilong’s expression was as cold as frost, standing in front of the woman whose delicate features and straight spine, slight chin lift spoke of an indomitable pride. Her glistening black eyes shone like jewels, at this moment, brimming with seriousness.
Staring at her, Zhao Zilong suddenly curled his thin lips into a smile, "Who gave you such courage to think that you could still beat me after three months?"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips in a smile, her charming face becoming even more beautiful and captivating.
Zhao Zilong’s gaze deepened, he looked away and snorted. If it weren’t for this ’deep hatred’ between them, perhaps he might actually admire her intelligence and cleverness.
However, she dared to pull the tiger’s whiskers, then all he had for her was the desire to defeat her thoroughly and then make her realize what strength is.
In the world of Martial Arts, it’s impossible to surpass in just a short time. Three months, huh?
Zhao Zilong scoffed, "Fine! Three months, I’ll remember that."
Gu Xiaoxi shrugged indifferently, three months was enough for her to enhance her strength and compete with him.
The exercise came to an end.
Although the Blue Army’s mission failed, the Red Army was still considered to be in a state of failure because the majority didn’t complete their missions, with only a very few who actually did.
In the women’s dormitory, Qin Chu silently packed her things and turned to Gu Xiaoxi, "It’s a pity, I didn’t complete my mission."
Her mission was to find the hidden Communicator based on the map and report her reconnaissance results to the headquarters.
In the end, she didn’t even find her own Communicator.
Gu Xiaoxi stood up and patted her shoulder, "The notice hasn’t come yet, don’t worry for now. Many people failed to complete their missions this time. I heard there’s going to be another assessment."
"I know, I can’t keep up with your pace anymore. It’s okay to be eliminated, after all, the army needs the strong. It’s just that I’ll miss you all," Qin Chu grasped Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, grateful for her companionship along the way. That made the military life seem not so dull.
There were many memorable things for the three of them along the journey.
"Qin Chu, do you know about the Special Forces? It’s normal for personnel to be reassigned in the military, I may not always be here. Whether you stay or go, let’s make a pact, we’ll meet again in the Special Forces!" Gu Xiaoxi patted her shoulder, comforting her. They had been together for more than half a year, from new recruits to reconnaissance soldiers. Their iron triangle always had a good relationship.
Song Jingyi sighed, stepped forward, and held their hands, encouraging each other, "Actually, I don’t even know if I can make it, but Xiaoxi is right. As long as we are still in the army, as long as we keep trying. One day, we will meet in the Special Forces."
Qin Chu smiled gently. She was not one to smile often, so this smile was particularly cherishable and signified her determination.
They were sure that they would meet again in the future.
In the final elimination, Qin Chu left and went to the Mech Armor Troops.
Gu Xiaoxi and Song Jingyi stayed behind.
This seemed hardly surprising.
Na Feng and Zhang Jingyue had also been reassigned to other units.
The top ten fighters all stayed. Even though they had lost, their abilities were not to be underestimated, far stronger than the new recruits by several times.
Na Qi chose to discharge from service.
Once the reorganization was completed, the regiment was merged into three battalions, nine companies.
Gu Xiaoxi and Song Jingyi were assigned to the Ninth Female Reconnaissance Company.
And their squad leader was Li Jing!
What puzzled Song Jingyi the most was why Gu Xiaoxi, the top fighter in the company, was made the squad
