Chapter 169: I’m Back! (Part two)
The soldier that was just about to change shift was a veteran, and he curiously looked at Xu Cheng’s back image and said, “That guy looks quite familiar.”
A rookie curiously asked, “That guy?”
Veteran: “That seems like Xu Cheng from the special ops department.”
Rookie: “Xu Cheng?”
Then, immediately, his eyes opened up wide. “Captain, isn’t Xu Cheng the top of the Three Swordsmen?”
Veteran: “Yeah, but I heard he became pretty ill with something and had no choice but to leave the army. From what the instructor said, he didn’t seem to be coming back. Did I mistake someone else for him?”
Rookie: “Capi, is Captain Xu Cheng very strong?”
Veteran: “Of course, other military regions are usually very strong overall as a group, but in our camp, no one could catch up even remotely to the level of the three Swordsmen. It could be said that every year, those three carried our azzes in the annual drill competition, and this year without them, we will probably be brutally beaten up.” The veteran sighed, “This also has something to do with the poverty level of the location of our region. Every year, the new recruits are all weaker than average, so the comprehensive military region’s strength can’t be compared with other regions. Also, unlike other regions, we have less funding, so we couldn’t invest more in training individual elites. Thus, the training strategy of our military region had been taking on the collective and general approach.”
Xu Cheng walked on the road in the military region. Although he left for a few months, coming back now after experiencing the dark baptism of capitalism in the society, he was much more calm and sophisticated than before.
The other camps’ people were dining in the cafeteria at the moment, and upon seeing him passing by, the veterans were all stunned as their chopsticks stopped. “Isn’t that Captain Xu?”
“It’s him! It’s really him! Is he really coming back?”
“He’s carrying a big piece of luggage, so that should be the case.”
