Receiving the list brought by Feng Ling, Han Jin glanced at the names above and nodded. “Feng Ling’s idea is similar to mine. Although these members perform well in the team, they’re quite opportunistically. They really need to go out to that kind of place to exercise well to cherish life in the base. Although Feng Ling is always quiet, he is a man of insight.”
Xiao Xu, who brought him the list, sat on the chair next to him and glanced at the list in his hand. “I am curious why Boss wants Feng Ling to go to the remote Rogers Pass, where there aren’t any cell phone signals. Even the US military isn’t willing to send people to the station in that kind of place. No one will know even if someone freezes to death there. Why does he want to send Feng Ling over?”
“Who knows, do you dare to ask him why?” Han Jin glanced at him.
Xiao Xu’s mouth twitched. “Of course not. Boss Li is quite grumpy these days. I dare not even get close to him. But I heard from the sniper team that the day before yesterday, something seemed to happen between Feng Ling and Boss.”
Han Jin raised an eyebrow. “Do you mean that Feng Ling pointed his gun at Boss Li?”
Xiao Xu patted his thigh. “Yes, the guys in the sniper team have their lips sealed and never gossip with others outside their team, but Lin Cheng and Tam chatted about it while eating in the canteen. I happened to overhear it. It seems that this is the case, but I didn’t ask them.”
Han Jin raised an eyebrow, put down the list in his hand, and smiled again.
It seemed that something happened that night, but he didn’t know what exactly happened to piss off Boss like this.
Han Jin was very clear about Boss Li’s capacity for liquor.
So he was quite sure Feng Ling couldn’t get him drunk.
But according to the current situation, did Boss bang Feng Ling on the spot that night?
But when he saw Feng Ling at the base in the past two days, his walking posture was very normal and didn’t seem to be… by Boss… and that shouldn’t be possible…
Gee, he wanted to promote the relaxation of their relationship. However, now he didn’t even know what exactly happened between the two of them. His heart was itchy, but he didn’t know whom to ask.
Feng Ling always kept her mouth shut, so he could not get any information from her. As for Boss Li… if he didn’t want to die, he dared not to ask him.
The guys of the sniper team probably didn’t know what happened that night because they were away.
Oh, there was a sweet, juicy gossip in front of him, but he just couldn’t taste it happily…
…
“Feng Ling, you’d better think over. The conditions at the Rogers Pass are awful. You may not even be able to come back.” Qiao Fei dragged Feng Ling outside after training in the morning and looked at her solemnly. “Before you set off, you can discuss with Boss. In the three months, your training in the sniper team will have to be postponed. Besides, if you are frostbitten, you may not be able to take a sniper rifle for a long time.”
“Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, this matter has been decided, so there is no room for change, and this is the punishment I received after I made a mistake, so I don’t want to request any change.”
“If you don’t want to go there, I can talk to Boss. For the sake of the relationship between the Qiao and Li families, he will give me some face.” Qiao Fei looked at her. “Don’t be impulsive. You can’t go to this kind of place because you may not be able to return.”
“We’re all members of the base. If others can go there, I can go too,” Feng Ling said firmly. “Isn’t the base supposed to treat all members the same? When faced with danger, Boss Li can rush to the front regardless of his life. How can I hide in the base, waiting for others to protect me?”
Qiao Fei was a little helpless. “Maybe I’m selfish, but I don’t want you to go to that kind of place.”
“Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, you have your family, backers, and connections outside the base, but I don’t have anything. All I have is XI base, so it’s my home. Now the base assigns me a task. I don’t want to escape. Please don’t decide for me,” Feng Ling said and took a step back. “Thank you for your care, but I’ll decide on my own business.”
Qiao Fei froze. Looking at her alienated expression, he knew that what he just said sounded too selfish. Feng Ling, a person who loved the base, might be unable to bear those words.
He didn’t want her to take risks or get in trouble, but she didn’t know that he was just worried about her.
He even wanted to apply to go to Rogers Pass in Feng Ling’s place.
But Feng Ling’s attitude was clear. She would go there by herself.
He sighed. “If you have to go there, the sniper team will consider temporarily transferring the others back to Team One. After all, it is the five of you who receive training. They’ll resume the training when you return, so I’ll be free during this period, and I can apply to accompany you to Rogers Pass.”
“The list has already been submitted, and I will leave tomorrow. Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, you don’t need to accompany me. I am a person of no concern. It doesn’t matter even if I can’t return. But you are placed high hopes by your family and can leave the base to inherit the family business. Many people love and care about you, so you can’t go with me.”
“Feng Ling.” Qiao Fei sighed. “I’m really worried about you.”
“I will take care of myself.” Feng Ling nodded at him, not going to say more, and re-entered the training ground without looking back.
This was the last day of training before she set off for the Rogers Pass. She still took the training as seriously as always. In the evening, she returned to her residence and began to pack up what she would take away tomorrow.
Each member who would go to the Rogers Pass would be given two large-capacity suitcases. They could put thick quilts, cold-proof clothes, and a variety of cold-proof medicines into the bags. These items alone could fill the bags.
Feng Ling didn’t need much stuff, and she heard that electronic communication there was not very convenient. The cell phone signal was poor, and the internet wasn’t available there, so there was no need to bring a computer. She would just bring a cell phone with her.
She would go there without any burden, so all she needed was cold-proof stuff.
