Xu Le's back disappeared around the corner. The few West Woods Military Academy officers who had been staring at him all this time retracted their gazes. Their expressions did not change, but perhaps they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. At this time, they already knew that the young miss seemed to be very reliant on that youth. As soldiers of the West Woods, they naturally could not take the initiative to provoke her. Moreover, it looked like that young man named Xu Le was not a person who held grudges. But for some reason, they were still a little nervous, and a little resentful.
Officer Wang Meng rubbed his throbbing forehead and lowered his head to curse something. Five of their group had been defeated by Xu Le. This was the most embarrassing scene of the entire journey. Zhou Jin sighed. He clasped his hands behind his back by the window and said to his classmates, "There's nothing to complain about. If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. There's no point in holding a grudge."
"Yes, after all, we are professional soldiers. We don't specialize in the study of combat skills." The female officer comforted everyone softly. What she said was not wrong. Although the military academies nowadays still put a lot of emphasis on the training of combat skills in the military, what really determined the quality of a soldier was still the consideration of overall quality. For example, the skills to operate all kinds of vehicles and even aircrafts, the control of all kinds of standard weapons. When it came to personal strength, so what if you were extremely strong?
"Don't forget, he's just a young soldier who retired." Zhou Jin turned his body slightly and looked at these students who regarded him as the leader. He could not help but sigh and shake his head. "It's not just you guys. Including me, all the students from the West Woods are used to have their eyes on the top of their heads. Even the three major military academies of the Upper Woods don't look up to us. But who would have thought that with so many of us, we would actually be defeated by a young soldier who just retired …"
"What a tragedy," Zhou Jin said self-deprecatingly with a quirk of his lips.
The corner of the corridor fell silent. The female officer felt helpless and subconsciously kicked the wall with her military boots. Suddenly, Wang Meng put down his hand from rubbing his temples and said in a muffled voice, "That kid looks honest, but he's actually quite vicious. I don't believe that he's really good to the young miss."
"Don't find excuses." Zhou Jin glared at him. "If you want revenge, then you want revenge."
"I just want to get my face back." Wang Meng angrily said: "I don't believe that I can't beat a little brat! No, we're going to Upper Forest tomorrow. I'm going to look for him tonight. Don't worry, this is purely a competition. "
"Don't mess around." Zhou Jin's expression darkened slightly as he reprimanded, "Last time, you were able to make a move in the room because of the captain's tacit approval. Now, in this situation, what's the point of competing? Don't cause trouble on the ship. If you do, I won't take care of you if your credits are deducted. "
"Then this matter is over? There's a big bump on my head, your face is covered in blood, and Hailin is still wearing bandages … I won't do it. "
"We have to do it even if we don't want to." Zhou Jin's voice was very hoarse. He subconsciously touched his throat again. When he thought of the arm that had hit his throat like a piece of metal, he felt a chill in his heart. "Train yourself. Don't humiliate yourself. When you have the confidence, you can go and find him. Don't worry, I think you'll have many chances to meet him in the future. "
Wang Meng asked, "I heard that kid is from Upper Forest. The Ministry of Defence arranged for him to hitch a ride. Where can I find him in the future?"
"I don't think so. The military is in need of talents right now. The military won't let go of such an inconspicuous but powerful person like him."
…
…
Zhou Jin's judgment was not wrong. Although the fat captain had told his secretary that Xu Le was not the kind of genius he was curious about, the combat ability Xu Le had displayed, especially the mecha fragments all over the ground, had still made the captain extend an invitation to him. In a private setting, the secretary took out three documents and showed them to Xu Le. One was a special admission document for the West Woods Military Academy, one was a secondary recruitment document that did not go through the Ministry of Defence, and the last was a job application document from a company in the capital ring.
Xu Le flipped through the three documents with some confusion. Only then did he understand what the captain meant. Regardless of whether it was the West Woods Military Academy or the secondary recruitment, for a newly discharged soldier, it was definitely a great opportunity that fell from the sky. The company in the capital ring was also very generous. The company that mainly built aircraft engines could provide Xu Le with good food, lodging, and salary.
"Think about it." The secretary looked at Xu Le with some happiness. Like the young lady, he could also see the honesty in this young man's bones. He really hoped that the young man would join his side. Although his current strength was very average, and his talent in mechanics still needed to be confirmed, a rock with potential would always attract more attention.
Xu Le looked through the documents carefully and sighed regretfully in his heart. If it had been him in the past, no matter which condition it was, he would have gladly accepted it because he could leave East Woods and do what he liked. Wasn't this the reason why he took the NCO exam in the Ministry of Defence? But now he had to reject it, because he … was a fugitive. A fugitive who had to deceive the entire Federation. He did not want to have too much to do with the government.
Uncle Boss once said that the most dangerous place was also the safest place. This sentence could only be believed three times. Xu Le wanted to use up these three chances easily. Moreover, regarding the West Woods Military Region, or the 4th Military Region … Xu Le still had a strong resistance in his heart. The 4th Military Region was probably related to the boss' death. Although it was definitely an order from the Federation, and the 4th Military Region was only an executor, Xu Le still could not get along with these people. If it was not for Little Watermelon, perhaps he would not even want to talk to these people.
"Sorry, I don't want to return to the army, and the Ministry of Defence seems to have arranged a reception unit for me." Xu Le shook his head apologetically. He could see that the secretary in front of him was really thinking about him.
The secretary shook his head regretfully, but he was not too disappointed. After all, he did try his best and also tried to repay the other party on behalf of the young miss. It was just that the other party did not want to accept for some unknown reason.
…
…
The quiet and long journey in space ended. A heavy roar sounded in the huge commercial spaceship Ancient Bell. The powerful force was helping the huge spaceship to adjust its attitude and direction. Xu Le, who had already packed his luggage and carried a backpack, looked at the light blue planet outside the porthole with eyes full of excitement.
The planet was very beautiful. It had a light blue sea, light brown land, and white clouds floating on it. Outside the porthole, two small, streamlined blue spaceships were leaving the Ancient Bell's hull and heading towards the white clouds. It was really a heart-warming scene.
This was the capital ring, also known as the administrative planet of the Upper Forest Region, the center of the entire Federation civilization. The white President's Office, the gray Management Committee's Conference Building, and the legendary Bureau of Proclamation were all symbols of power that could control the entire Federation. All of these symbols of power were on this beautiful planet.
Xu Le followed the prompts of the electronic voice and suppressed his excitement. With the help of the staff, he entered the separation cabin. Since he rejected the secretary's suggestion yesterday, he had not seen anyone from the West Woods, not even little watermelon. Although it was a little regretful, he knew that with his identity as the Federation's top fugitive, he could only keep a distance from little watermelon, who obviously had a noble background.
…
…
The land-to-air transfer spaceship unfolded its alloy wings at an altitude of 8,000 meters and turned into a bird in the blue sky and white clouds. It maintained absolute stability and flew towards the surface of the planet. The spaceship flew lower and lower. Finally, it skimmed over the edge of the white clouds and plunged into the thick, almost solid clouds.
Xu Le, who had a slight fear of flying, had seen enough of the scenery outside the window and the flame-like ion current. He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the moment of landing. The waiting time seemed to be a little long, so long that he almost fell asleep. He only felt a slight vibration when he opened his eyes. Like the other passengers beside him, he heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. He looked at the flat runway outside the window and the black and white electronic command tower not far away and laughed.
Walking out of the cabin door, a gust of cold wind hit him in the face. Xu Le looked at the ground in front of him and the buildings in the distance. His expression froze and he almost could not move his legs … These white, soft, and cold things, are they the legendary snow?
He walked down the gangway under the urging of the passengers behind him, but the more he walked, the stiffer he became. It looked like he was practicing martial arts in a mine. The weather in Upper Forest was too cold. He was so cold that he wanted to stomp his feet, but he did not want to attract the attention of the people in the airport. In fact, it was impossible for him not to attract people's attention. In this area, everyone was wearing slightly thick thermal clothing, hats, and gloves. He was the only one who was still wearing the thin clothes of early autumn and carrying a broken backpack. He looked very pitiful.
Xu Le breathed into his slightly red hands. He was completely frozen. When he left Eastern Forest, it was also winter. However, the four seasons in Eastern Forest were not very different. It had not snowed for thousands of years. He did not expect the winter in the capital ring … to be so cold!
A snowflake drifted down and landed on his face, making him shiver. He wondered if he had made a big mistake by coming to the capital. This was the first time Xu Le had seen snow in his life, but he could not feel the purity of the snow. He could only feel the coldness of the snow. This was all because he was not prepared. It was a tragedy.
