410 The second weapon finally gets unlocked! (1/2)

When Zhang Jinglin heard Ren Xiaosu's reply, he burst into laughter. ”Well said! Same goes for bravery, huh?”

In reality, Zhang Jinglin did not know that for Ren Xiaosu, ensuring the survival of all his Razor Sharp Company's comrades had become an obsession in the course of his revenge. That obsession dictated whether he was qualified to protect some things.

The things Ren Xiaosu wanted to protect in the past had been destroyed by the Zong Consortium. This led to Ren Xiaosu looking back on his beautiful vision from before and thinking about whether he could protect anything in this chaotic world.

As a result, he had even taken on the survival of the Razor Sharp Company as his personal mission. Only by ensuring that the Razor Sharp Company remained intact could he have the right to go to the Central Plains later to search for his family and friends to continue living in this chaotic world.

”I can sense conflict within you.” Zhang Jinglin said calmly, ”It's exactly the same as when I was young. Back then, everyone wanted me to pick up a gun, saying how the battlefield needed soldiers who could fire a gun, how it was no place for a useless medic. Sometimes, even I wondered if my persistence was correct, and whether I should also pick up a gun and attack alongside them?”

Zhang Jinglin continued, ”At that time, I was thinking about bending to the will of this chaotic world. Only that way could I live a better life.”

”What happened?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

”Persistence is persistence. Being correct doesn't matter.” Zhang Jinglin said, ”Never deny yourself. Life should be a candle, burning brightly from tip to end.”

Ren Xiaosu silently muttered the words to himself. ”Life should be a candle, burning brightly from tip to end.”

He suddenly realized Zhang Jinglin might have called him over because he saw the conflict inside him, so he wanted to tell him these words.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and said, ”Where do you plan on going after destroying the Zong Consortium?”

”To the Central Plains.” Ren Xiaosu said with certainty, ”I want to find Big Sister Xiaoyu, Yan Liuyuan, and the others and bring them back.”

”Hm.” Zhang Jinglin asked again, ”Will you return to Fortress 178?”

”I'm not sure.” Ren Xiaosu could not answer that question.

”You should know why I had you join the Razor Sharp Company. I won't stop you from going to the Central Plains, but if there's something you wish to protect, then Fortress 178 is your best choice.”

Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone, ”Commander, if you don't let me go and eat now, there won't be any food left.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered he had just come out of the shower and had not eaten yet.

…

When Ren Xiaosu arrived at the chow hall, Zhang Xiaoman was already on the verge of blacking out.

Ren Xiaosu sat nearby and ate the food everyone had left for him. However, they had kept so much food for him that it felt like they were afraid he wouldn't have enough to eat.

Zhang Xiaoman dragged Ren Xiaosu to drink with him, but Ren Xiaosu refused to drink anything at all. When Zhang Xiaoman realized he could not persuade Ren Xiaosu, he turned around to look for someone else.

While drinking, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly hugged Jiao Xiaochen and said, ”Wei Yunlin, I missed you.”

Jiao Xiaochen quickly pushed Zhang Xiaoman off and chided him with a laugh, ”You miss your wife now?”

Someone laughed at Zhang Xiaoman while drinking and said, ”Your wife getting married to you is like sticking a flower in a cow pie!”

Zhang Xiaoman sobered up a little and said unhappily, ”If she's a flower, then cows ain't gonna shit anymore!”

”Stop acting like it was a pity to marry her. You don't know what kind of a treasure you've picked up. All you know is how to pretend to be tough when you're outside,” Jiao Xiaochen said with a laugh.

Ren Xiaosu was an outsider in the noisy chow hall. He might be obsessed with keeping the Razor Sharp Company alive, but even now, it was very difficult for him to feel like he truly belonged in the Razor Sharp Company.

And he had the same feeling for Fortress 178 as well.
