"I … will keep in touch with you often." Qin Fen spoke with a bit of a guilty conscience. Though he hoped to keep in touch with Song Jia often, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty when he said these words, similar to what Lin Liqiang reminded him of.
Luckily, Song Jia didn't discover Qin Fen's guilty conscience. A truly happy smile blossomed on her face. "I'm very satisfied. You need to remember what you said."
Qin Fen nodded very seriously. Though he was used to loneliness, he couldn't help but feel a bit desolate in his heart when no one sent him off when he joined the military. Song Jia sending him off gave him a special warmth in his heart.
"Remember to cultivate the Rejuvenation Art when you're tired."
"Okay."
"If you're sick, remember to go see the military doctor early."
"Okay."
"The most important thing." Song Jia stared at Qin Fen very seriously. "You need to remember to think of me."
Thirty minutes was a short amount of time. The siren of a large military transport ship anchored at Pier Three rang out.
The young recruits began to slowly climb the stairs of the military transport ship. Qin Fen pointed at the incessant siren. "I should go."
Song Jia nodded gently. Her voice turned quite a bit gentler. "Be careful."
"I will."
Qin Fen turned around, and he suddenly felt Song Jia's palm pat his shoulder. He subconsciously turned around, just in time to see that absolutely beautiful face approach at high speed.
Buzz …
Her red lips, emitting the fragrance of orchids, touched Qin Fen's face like a dragonfly touching the surface of the water. Before he could react, Song Jia had already turned around and quickly ran away. Only a few words echoed in his ears. "You need to remember to think of me."
Over a hundred envious gazes shot at him. Qin Fen's face burned hot, and his heartbeat sped up quite a bit. He extended a hand and gently touched the face that was kissed. He followed the tide of people and walked onto the military ship.
The last soldier stepped onto the military ship, and the siren immediately sounded. The enormous military transport ship slowly left the port.
Song Jia stood in the crowd, watching the departing military ship. She dialed Lin Liqiang's number. "Qiangster, the military ship has already set sail. You won't have the chance to send him off even if you want to."
"Jia Jia, men and women are different. Two grown men chattering was such an unglamorous thing. Sometimes, a good man can't be overly sentimental. Okay! That's all. I saw a beautiful woman, so I'll talk to you later. "
Lin Liqiang hung up the phone amidst the crowd that was sending him off on the shore. He, who was usually very talkative, had lost his usual interest today. He stretched his body and slowly squeezed his way out of the harbor.
Beep beep … Staring at the phone, Song Jia shook her head. "I really don't get it. He's such a good friend. Why didn't he come to send me off? Instead, he went to pick up girls."
In another corner of the crowd, Enzo Rota maintained his usual silence. He slowly turned around and walked out of the port.
Qin Fen stood on the side of the ship with a deep smile hanging on his lips. Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota were hiding in the crowd of tens of thousands of people who were sending off their farewells. Sometimes, the fate between friends was hard to tell.
The troop transport ship sailed for approximately three nautical miles. The recruits, who were silent in the beginning, gradually turned into whispers of conversation. Everyone knew that they would be eating and living in the same training camp for the next six months to a year. It was good to get to know each other a bit earlier.
Qin Fen found the position of Second Squad, First Platoon, Third Company, Second Battalion. He began to ponder quietly by himself. This troop transport ship could only transport two thousand people. It would take at least four days to transport people to Australia.
With today's technology, a large plane could accomplish this in a short amount of time. Why use such a time-wasting method to transport people?
"Okay! You bastards! Come over here! "
A rough voice suddenly rang out from the loudspeaker, interrupting quite a few recruits who were waving goodbye to their loved ones.
"Your temporary designation is on the deck. Butter soldiers, go stand where you should stand! "
The simple and crude command rang out, and a bit of chaos suddenly arose on the deck. People hurriedly searched for the positions of their squads and companies.
A group of seasoned soldiers wearing well-ironed military uniforms walked out from the ship's hold.
Compared to the recruits, who didn't have the slightest bit of military accomplishment, the seasoned soldiers used their actions to tell everyone what it meant to be fast and orderly.
"Hello everyone. From today onwards, I am your squad leader. If there's anything you don't understand, or if you have any difficulties, you can come find me at any time. Everyone can call me Squad Leader Hao."
The squad leader of Qin Fen's squad had a very amiable tone compared to the squad leaders around him, who had a fierce tone. His face brimmed with a sincere smile.
The recruits, who had been a bit nervous just a moment ago, all revealed smiles of good luck on their faces. At the same time, they used gazes of extreme sympathy to sweep over the recruits of the other squads beside them.
While the other squad leaders continued to speak with rough tones, Squad Leader Hao smiled as he continued to speak, "Everyone, there's no need to be too nervous. Come! Let's sit down and chat. "
The recruits were quite shocked at how friendly he was. They secretly rejoiced that their luck was pretty good, to have encountered such a good-tempered squad leader.
"I'm sure quite a few people are curious as to why they don't use the fast air transport, but instead use the time-wasting sea transport, right?"
Squad Leader Hao's voice just fell, and Qin Fen nodded one by one like the other members of his class. He discovered that there was a person in his class who had a disdainful sneer on his lips. He didn't nod along with them.
"Actually, the matter is like this." Squad Leader Hao didn't pay attention to the person who didn't nod his head. He extended a hand to scratch the back of his head. He spoke with a simple and honest face, "The implementation of sea transport is just for the sake of letting everyone adapt to life in the military ahead of time. Military training has already begun the moment everyone sets foot on the ship. "
The squad leader of the first squad to the side let out a rough roar at this time, "Cream of the crop! Don't think that being a soldier is a vacation! Since the higher-ups have given me the opportunity to drill you, then I will let you know what it means to be a soldier! From now on, aside from eating and sleeping time, all of your time is for training! First do two hundred push-ups to warm up. Then run twenty laps around the ship. Then …. "
Squad Leader Hao laughed awkwardly, "See? This is a mission arranged by the higher-ups."
Quite a few people revealed a hint of fear on their faces. This wasn't training at all. This was simply playing with their lives.
