Chapter 1023 – Border Defense Company
Lin Qiye sat at the top of the wall and witnessed Su Yuan’s leap from the mountain peak, but instead of making a move to stop it, he smiled helplessly.
”This pair of siblings …… is rare.”
He lightly chanted, and a whirlwind then supported Su Yuan’s body and slowly landed on the ground.
Upon hearing the last name, Su Zhe, who was lying on the snowy ground, violently opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
”Su Yuan? How is that possible?”
As Su Yuan’s own brother, there was no one who understood how tough this sister of his was better than him, and from the very beginning, he was convinced that these seven days of training were nothing difficult for Su Yuan …… even if she couldn’t get the first place, there was no way that she would be eliminated on the second day.
But on the contrary, her name just appeared in the elimination list.
Under the star-dotted night sky, a young girl, wrapped in a cold-proof suit, slowly walked in the wind and snow.
Boots stepped on the snow and stood beside him, Su Yuan glanced down at him and expressionlessly extended a hand to him.
”Hey, can you get up?”
”I’m not called hey, I’m your brother ……,” Su Zhe couldn’t help but spit out a sentence and spoke in confusion, “Didn’t you already roll over? How did you come back again?”
”I got lost.” Su Yuan replied indifferently.
Su Zhe: ……
Su Yuan grabbed Su Zhe’s wrist with one hand and easily pulled him up from the ground.
”I say old sister, you didn’t come back specially to accompany your brother and me, right?” Su Zhe blinked his eyes.
”? Who wants to come back specially to accompany you, dead pervert.” Su Yuan gave him a blank look, “I told you, I’m lost.”
”…… What about the night watchman? Didn’t you always want to be a night watchman to protect others?”
”It’s just an identity, it’s not that important.” Su Yuan glanced at Su Zhe, and quickly turned his head away, “Anyway, what I should have learned, I have learned in these few months, and without the cloak and medallion, I can still protect the people I want to protect.
And ……”
Su Yuan paused and looked at the figure sitting quietly at the top of the wall, “I always feel …… that things might still turn around.”
Bewilderment surfaced in Su Zhe’s eyes.
On the snowy ground in the distance, buzzing vehicles sped by, the brightly illuminated lights hitting Su Zhe Su Yuan’s siblings, causing them to squint their eyes at the same time.
The vehicle stopped beside them, and an instructor stepped out of the vehicle, holding a list of names in his hands as he calmly spoke:
”Su Zhe Su Yuan, you’ve been eliminated, come with me.”
The Su family siblings looked at each other and helplessly followed the instructor into the car.
The door of the car closed, Su Zhe sat by the window, his entire person unrivaled in fatigue.
He turned his head and was about to say something, only to see that Su Yuan was looking through the car window at the recruits on the wall who were moving forward with plodding steps, transfixed.
Su Zhe’s lips pursed slightly.
”Instructor, where are we going? Are we going to be repatriated tonight?” Su Zhe couldn’t help but speak, “Can we wait until the end of this seven-day intensive training before we leave? It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a place to eat or live, at least …… let us see the Night Watch’s swearing-in ceremony with our own eyes, okay?”
”Repatriation?” The instructor raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Who said that you will be repatriated?”
Su Zhe and Su Yuan froze at the same time.
”Being eliminated at the end of the line only means that you guys are going to withdraw from this trekking extreme overturning journey, it doesn’t mean that this seven days of training is over.” The instructor leisurely spoke, “For the next four days, you guys are going to a new place to continue completing your training.”
Hearing these words, Su Yuan’s eyes blossomed.
”A new place? Where is it?”
”The western border of Da Xia, Kayush 019 Border Defense Company.”
Jedi wall.
Lu Baoyu supported his body and climbed up to the highest point of the Jedi wall, white hot air exhaled from his mouth and quickly condensed into frost on the night plateau.
He turned back to look down, at this moment there is no other figure on the wall, those recruits who are still behind him have been eliminated, below the dark and dead silence, like a bottomless abyss of despair.
Beside him, a figure clad in a crimson cloak slowly stood up.
Lin Qiye patted the snow on his body and walked up to him, speaking calmly:
”You weren’t supposed to be in this ranking, Lu Baoyu.”
Lu Baoyu lowered his head and was silent.
”If you had listened to my advice and stopped to rest for a while before the first climb, then you would have been ahead of everyone by now.” Lin Qiye paused, “Unfortunately, your pride and arrogance caused you to miss this opportunity, and even almost caused you to be doomed.”
”I ……”
”I know that you are strong, the power contained within your body, and your amazing willpower, gives you the capital to be confident and proud …… but excessive arrogance and conceit can get people killed.
This time you can climb out of the valley with your own strength and luck, but what about next time?
If you can’t control your prideful aura, sooner or later, one day, you and your companions, will all die as a result.”
Lu Baoyu’s mouth, which was originally open, slowly closed and did not refute Lin Qiye’s words, but instead, he bowed his head in place and remained silent for a long time as he took a step into the distance alone.
Dawn.
A dozen cars drove through the barren earth, the fish-belly white of the sky tore through the darkness, and at the end of the horizon, the outlines of several buildings loomed.
It was a few small buildings painted white and covered with red roofs, not looking brand new, but very neat, the fence outside the small buildings stood tall, and on the stone monument in front of the door, a few big bright red words were engraved:Kayush 019 Border Defense Company.
The vehicle stopped in front of the gate for a few moments, and after checking their identities, it slowly drove into it with the eliminated recruits.
Su Yuan and Su Zhe got down from the vehicle and stood in formation under the guidance of the instructors, a rough-looking man wearing camouflage uniforms walked out from the small building, and after talking with the instructors for a moment, he landed his gaze on these eighty recruits.
”Is this what it says, temporary garrison volunteers?” The man spoke in surprise, “All so young? And it looks like you have the temperament from the army ah …… eh, which military region are you guys actually from? How did you think to run to such a remote place as ours to be volunteers?”
”Confidential.” The instructor smiled mysteriously, “For the next few days, they will be handed over to you, no need to be polite to them, make them do whatever you want.”
”Okay, I know.”
Soon, the instructors got into their cars and drove away under the puzzled gaze of the recruits.
The man walked up to them and swept his gaze over the crowd:
”At ease.”
”Attention!”
Looking at the recruits in neat formation, the man nodded in satisfaction and spoke:
”For the next four days, you will be participating as volunteers in the garrison life on the western border of Da Xia, on behalf of the Kayush 019 Border Defense Company, I welcome you.”
