While Ye Zhifan was signing the document, Xia Jinyuan was sitting in a truck and riding on the bumpy road. He was unable to open his eyes due to the glaring reflection from the snow. There were two hours time difference between this place and the capital city. This place was filled with snow. When the sun shone on it, everywhere was white and glaring.
“Do you want some oxygen?” Someone beside him asked calmly. His voice was low and there were no emotions in it. “We are 5000 meters above sea level, if you want to rest, we can ask the driver...”
The sound of rolling stones interrupted him. The soldier driving the car seemed to sense what was happening and stepped on the brake forcefully. “Q Wang, the snow mountain welcomed you with an appetizer.”
The driver and the soldier sitting beside Xia Jinyuan were not strangers.
The driver was J5, someone who was lazy and carefree. As for the person sitting beside Xia Jinyuan, he was K7. He was a lieutenant who used to be a forensic expert.
Xia Jinyuan opened his water bottle and took two sips of the cold water. He looked at the weathered stones that kept rolling down in front of him and said indifferently, “What an exciting welcome ceremony. We are a few hours away from the military base. We need to repair the mountain road later too. Will we be able to pass in half an hour?”
“I’m not sure. That depends on how long the stones continue falling. Sit tight, I need to reverse for some distance.” Stones were falling down the mountain in front of them. The road behind was steep. On their left, they could see a river flowing rapidly. It was like an enormous water dragon.
The mountain road was not an asphalt road or a cement road. It was made from stones. The military truck’s engine roared. J5 maneuvered the steering wheel smoothly and managed to reverse the car a few meters back within less than 10 seconds.
J5 and K7 were all soldiers from the Xueyu unit. They entered two years before Xia Jinyuan. J5 graduated from the Army institute. K7 was a forensic expert. He made a mid-life career change and became a soldier.
After they reversed the car, they waited for the stones to stop falling. Then, the three of them took out their tool kits and started removing the stones. The stones were thrown into the river on the left. Every time a stone landed in the river, it sounded like the growl of a beast. J5 looked at Xia Jinyuan who was still calm and had no reactions on his face. He smiled and gave a look of approval.
An ace soldier who managed to become Q Wang. He was indeed a bold person.
K7 picked his pry up and threw it into the toolbox. He looked at the young major who didn’t even frown. He suddenly said, “He is stronger than you.”
This sentence came suddenly. He didn’t say who this sentence was directed at but J5 knew.
“He is stronger than you too. I remember that on your first day, you started vomiting before we reached 5000 meters above sea level. Your face was so pale then. You looked so pitiful.” J5 smiled and patted Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder. He sighed. “Q Wang, I have high hopes of you. This fellow is an arrogant person. Before our commander retired, he was able to hold him back. Now, we hope that someone powerful will come and subdue him.”
As a soldier who just came to report to the Xueyu unit, the Xueyu unit was not able to order Xia Jinyuan around even though he was a major.
Xueyu unit was a special military unit. All the soldiers inside had no name. No one knew where they came from or where they would be going in the future. Even if they die, they would become nameless heroes. Their nickname would be used until they retire from the military.
