Chapter 795 “Training”
The black jeep sped along the road.
”Captain Lin, do you want to go back to our squad 006’s compound for a spin first?” Zhang Zhengting, who was driving the car, turned his head and looked at Lin Qiye and said, “In that battle two years ago, our squad didn’t even get to say hello to you guys head on, the guys are still quite sorry in their hearts, this time it just so happens that you guys have come to Shangjing, why don’t we have dinner together and get to know each other?
It just so happens that Captain Shao will be back from his meeting tonight, and he’s been wanting to talk to you as well.”
Lin Qiye was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, “No problem.”
Speaking of which, although he and the others had fought with squad 006 back then, they hadn’t even seen a single member of squad 006 except for Yuan Gang, at that time, even though it was just a battle of breaths, after all, they still injured someone else, so it was only right to pay a visit.
As for the captain of squad 006, Shao Pingge, Lin Qiye wanted to meet him several years ago.
From the information he had gotten, back then, this captain Shao Pingge and Chen Muye were known as the “Black and White Twins” of Shangjing, and they had a very good relationship, so he might be able to learn some more information about Chen Muye through him.
What’s more, two years ago, Shao Pingge risked his dismissal, and in the case that Lin Qiye and the others hadn’t yet registered as a special team, he gave them the nameplate left behind by the Blue Rain team without authorization, or else they wouldn’t have been able to get into the mists, much less save Zhou Ping.
This favor was still very weighty.
Seeing Lin Qiye’s promise, joy surfaced in Zhang Zhengting’s eyes as he stepped on the gas and quickly drove towards Squad 006’s location.
Not long after, the vehicle slowly stopped in front of a quaint courtyard.
Lin Qiye and the others stepped out of the vehicle and followed Zhang Zhengting to the entrance of the courtyard, where the latter opened the door, waited to the side, and made an invitation gesture to the crowd.
”Huh?” Baili Chubby just walked through the door, stepped on the brand new green bricks on the ground with his feet, and asked suspiciously, “All of your furnishings here are quite dated, it’s just that this bricks …… how come they’re all so new?”
”……”
Zhang Zhengting spoke helplessly, “That’s for you to ask.”
Baili Chubby froze, seemingly unable to understand Zhang Zhengting’s meaning, An Qingyu came to his ear and whispered, “This is two years ago, we shattered ……”
Baili Fatty suddenly realized.
Zhang Zhengting lightly coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, “This courtyard, as early as sixty or seventy years ago, the then captain of the Shangjing City squad bought this courtyard, and then it has been used as the residence of the 006 squad, and even though the personnel has been changing, this place has not been moved.
Over there is where our team members live, over there is the captain’s office area, and then over there is the place for daily training ……”
While walking, Zhang Zhengting introduced this courtyard to Lin Qiye and the others.
”Right now, Captain Shao Pingge is in a meeting, and Vice Captain Yuan Gang is also still out running around, so there are about eight or nine team members in the courtyard right now ……”
”Eight or nine team members?”
Hearing this number, Lin Qiye froze, “That’s not right, is it? Isn’t the upper limit of the Night’s Watch’s squad size only nine? And the last time we came, your squad didn’t seem to have this many people ……”
”That was already two years ago.” Zhang Zhengting explained with a smile, “In these two years, the Vigilantes have increased the number of places for recruiting a large number of new recruits, last year the number of new recruits recruited was roughly double the number of recruits in your term, and this year it seems to be expanding to triple the number of recruits ……
Recruiting so many new recruits, when they finish their training, there will be more fresh blood injected into each squad, our squad 006 in Shangjing City, right now there are five team members who are all new recruits who just came in these two years.”
”Why are you suddenly recruiting so many newcomers?” Baili Chubby asked suspiciously.
”It’s because there’s going to be a war.” An Qingyu pushed his glasses and answered the question for Zhang Zhengting, “When I was at the Sinking Dragon Pass before, I wondered how a war pass stationed at the border could only have so many Night Watchmen …… But once I did the math, I realized that this phenomenon was normal.
The number of night watchmen in Daxia was originally not much, on top of the various cities they were originally going to be stationed in, they simply couldn’t mobilize that much manpower to guard the war passes, so this definitely won’t work, so the most direct way is to rely on recruiting more new recruits to boost the number of night watchmen.
The convergence of a large number of new recruits has increased the number of Night’s Watch teams everywhere, and by the time the transfer of experience between the old and new recruits is basically complete, the twelve war passes will be just about due for completion.
If I’m not mistaken, at that time, the higher-ups will then draw most of the veterans into the war passes, leaving the less senior recruits to man the various cities.”
An Qingyu paused and continued:
”If that day comes, it also means that the …… war is really coming.”
Zhang Zhengting glanced at An Qingyu in surprise and nodded, “That’s right, that’s indeed the reason.”
While speaking, the few people had already walked outside the training ground.
”Counting the time, our players should be training now, let’s go in and take a look …… hmm?”
Zhang Zhengting had just walked to the entrance of the training ground when his entire body suddenly froze in place.
Only to see that in the training ground, a few members of the team were standing in the corners of the training ground separately, a person hugging the moss-covered wigwam with tenderness; a person squatting in front of a mouse hole under a pillar, pouring out love to a passing ant; there were also two dudes holding each other’s hands, gazing at each other affectionately as if they were going to kiss lightly together in the next moment… …
Outside the training ground, Lin Qiye and the others who witnessed this scene were simultaneously petrified.
”This ……” Baili Chubby couldn’t help but gulp down his saliva, “Are your squad’s …… usual training programs this gay? ”
It always feels like, they seem to have discovered some of 006 squad’s unimaginable hidden secrets ah ……
Should not be silenced, right?
”No……”
Zhang Zhengting looked like he thought of something, his brows suddenly furrowed, “Is it Zhen Zhen?”
Zhang Zhengting quickly walked to those few team members, stretched out his hand, and heavily knocked their eyebrows, the team member who was knocked was bewildered for a few moments, and his eyes once again surfaced.
”Zhengting?” One of the team members froze for a moment when he saw the slightly sullen Zhang Zhengting in front of him, “What am I ……”
”You guys have been hit by the True True Divine Ruins.” Zhang Zhengting’s gaze swept over the surroundings, “Where’s Zhenzhen? Where did she go?”
That team member opened his mouth, and bitterness surfaced at the corners of his mouth ……
”Zhen Zhen …… ran away from home.”
