Chapter 870 - Little Black Book (1/2)

Perhaps Liang Ce was thinking that the two of them were moving too fast, so he personally poured a bucket of cold water over his relationship with Meng Nan.

As the convoy leisurely drove north, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that he had not given Liang Ce any advice this time. Liang Ce was self-taught and purely gifted.

When they passed by Mt. Dashi, the large convoy took a break there and got reorganized.

The camp where they rested was the site where P5092 had set an ambush for the barbarians to attack. Ren Xiaosu was very familiar with this place, but he wondered where all the barbarians’ corpses had gone.

After getting out of the vehicle, everyone could hear the Pyro Company’s soldiers discussing as they smoked, “I heard that Commander P5092 killed over a 100 barbarians here. Apparently, the barbarians were in such despair. I didn’t expect Commander P5092 to have anticipated an attack by them on the camp.”

“I would rather know what those two snipers look like…”

Ren Xiaosu and the others did not get out of their vehicle. However, the Qinghe University students could not wait to get out of theirs to move around. When one of the students heard the Pyro Company’s discussion, he suddenly said, “I wonder where I can receive sniper training at. I’d like to become a sniper too.”

But when a Pyro Company soldier heard that, he laughed. “If you want to become as good as those two snipers, you’ll have to be blessed by Heaven. It’s not something you can become just because you want to.”

The Qinghe University student was a little annoyed. “Can’t I just train harder? I can take hardship too, y’know!”

“You don’t understand.” The Pyro Company soldier shook his head with a smile. However, he did not explain any further.

Only those who had truly fought in battle and received military training would understand that hard work alone was not enough.

The reason why those two snipers were able to control the battlefield was due to their combined talents across many aspects. They were not only accurate in their sniping but also able to predict where the barbarians would appear each time. This secretly surprised all of the Pyro Company’s soldiers, and they felt this was what true skill was.

The forward operating base was only about a 100 kilometers away from the front lines. After traversing a small section of mountain road, they would reach the highway the Pyro Company had built. As such, the convoy would reach the front lines within a day.

When they set off, P31921 told Ren Xiaosu they would get to the front lines by that afternoon.

If that small section of mountain road was repaired, it might even be faster and they could get there within two hours.

In the late afternoon, before the sun could set, Ren Xiaosu could already see from afar the towering New Great Wall in front of him.

The Great Wall meandered along the horizon towards the east and west until its ends could no longer be seen. It was such a magnificent sight that it made people feel a sense of pride.

Within the Great Wall were military encampments that joined up like vast oceans. The Pyro Company soldiers were moving around while countless “civilian laborers” continued building the defensive line below the Great Wall.

Tower crane after tower crane rose into the clouds while laborers used the incomplete scaffolding outside the long walls to navigate along the cliff walls.

Ren Xiaosu had never seen such a magnificent sight before in his life. He suddenly felt that the “miracles” he had seen in the past paled in comparison to this front line and the military bases at the Great Wall.

If one did not see such a magnificent structure rising from the ground with their own eyes, it would be very difficult to believe that this was built through the power of humanity.

Actually, there wasn’t much technical skill involved. It was just a defensive fortification purposely built for the threat of the barbarians. It was just that the collective will of this project was astounding.

When he arrived at the base, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see P5092 waiting at the entrance. Initially, Ren Xiaosu thought he was here to receive the supplies. But later, he realized P5092 did not even look at the supplies and was heading straight for him instead.
