Super Seminary: New Temple

Chapter 315 Huaguoshan Region

As Dai Wen and his group got closer and closer to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, they encountered many scattered troops on the way. These people were surprised to find that their destination was exactly the same.

In this way, like-minded soldiers gathered together to form a small unit of more than 100 people. The uniforms of these soldiers were very different, some were pilots who had been killed in the accident wearing blue uniforms, some were soldiers wearing green uniforms, and some were even wearing camouflage uniforms.

No one expected that this seemingly patchwork troop would get along so well. They came from different branches of the military, and it was the first time for the soldiers to meet each other, so no one knew each other. But the uniforms they wore immediately eliminated the unfamiliarity, and made them comrades who could confide in each other. They talked closely, as if they had known each other for many years.

Daven was secretly amazed and admired these soldiers. When war came, they were always the first to go to the battlefield. After being separated and unable to contact the main force, they still had a firm will and rushed to join the army. They really deserved people's respect.

The vast mountains and forests in the distance are no longer blurry, but become clearer.

Daven looked at the mountain. The mountain should have been covered with peach trees, but now there were only small patches of peach trees here and there. Many of the burnt peach trees had fallen down, revealing patches of bare land. It looked like a scar on the mountain, which was extremely regrettable.

"What a pity. If we just let these peach trees grow like this, Huaguo Mountain will surely be full of plump peaches next year, right?" Sitting on the tank, Daven felt a little regretful.

As the tank was moving, it shook from time to time due to the dangerous road conditions. Daven kept looking into the distance, and the soldiers thought he liked to look at the scenery. Everyone shook their heads helplessly. The war had already begun, but Daven still had an indifferent attitude as if he was traveling. He was really generous.

"Hey, Lao Chen, who is this guy? He looks like he's wearing common people's clothes, but he's always so mysterious."

Platoon Leader Ma, who had just joined the team a few days ago with a dozen privates, sat in the driver's seat of a military off-road vehicle, looking at the tank in front of him in surprise. Devin, who was sitting on it, naturally became the object of his scrutiny.

Old Chen was feeling a little bored staying in the tank these days. Fortunately, Platoon Leader Ma and his several military vehicles arrived in time. Old Chen tried his best to persuade the stingy Platoon Leader Ma to allow him to sit in the car.

When Lao Chen heard Platoon Leader Ma's question, he grinned and said, "Huh, you just noticed him now?"

Platoon Leader Ma frowned, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and then leaned out of the car window, carefully observing Dave's every move, and retracted his head back into the car after a moment. Apart from finding that Dave was a gentle and elegant young man, he could not find any military temperament in him.

Could this really be a civilian?

Platoon Leader Ma was unsure, so he pushed Lao Chen next to him and reminded him with a stern face, "Hey, Lao Chen, we are going to find the Fighting Buddha, and we are going to fight with him. This war is not a joke, and people will really die. You are taking a civilian to the battlefield like this, which is a violation of discipline."

At first, he thought that Dai Wen was a civilian that Lao Chen and his men had met, so he escorted him to a safe area. As they got closer to Huaguo Mountain, Lao Chen showed no sign of settling Dai Wen down. You know, the closer you get to Huaguo Mountain, the more dangerous it is, and there is no civilian resettlement area nearby, only scattered troops that gather here one after another.

Not long after meeting Lao Chen, Platoon Leader Ma began to worry about him.

Old Chen laughed loudly, pointed at Davey's back, and said, "Hey, you are doubting my character. When would I, Old Chen, do anything that violates discipline? Look carefully, he is the training consultant of the Xiongbing Company, a member of the Xiongbing Company. How can his skills be the same as those of ordinary consultants?"

Platoon Leader Ma's eyes widened. "What? People from the Hero Company?"

He punched the other man's chest hard, and Platoon Leader Ma scolded him with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn it, no wonder you kept his identity a secret before. It turns out you have found a treasure. Ahaha, it seems that our troops are now protected."

This conversation made Old Chen very happy, and he couldn't hide the smugness in his smile: "Haha, yes. Are you relieved now?"

"Hey, let me ask you, where did you meet him? Tell me about it." Platoon Leader Ma bumped Lao Chen's arm with his elbow and asked.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Old Chen asked back with a smug smile.

Platoon Leader Ma was stunned. Seeing Lao Chen's expression, he cursed: "Hey, you are a guy who won't give up until you see the rabbit. Forget it, I will just spend the money."

Then, Platoon Leader Ma, with a look of pain on his face, took out a crumpled cigarette box from his pocket and handed it to Lao Chen.

Old Chen's eyes lit up and he quickly took out two cigarettes, lit one and put it in his mouth, and put the other to his ear.

"Hey, I don't have many cigarettes left. Why don't you give me a few less? I've kept this pack of cigarettes for a long time and haven't smoked them all. You guys took all of them." Platoon Leader Ma cursed angrily.

Old Chen laughed dryly a few times, and very tactfully, he lit a cigarette for Platoon Leader Ma who was driving, and saw that his expression was much relieved. Then he excitedly began to tell the whole process of his encounter with Dai Wen in Tianhe City, which Platoon Leader Ma found very boring.

"Tsk, I thought your process was very complicated. Turns out it's just such a trivial matter. I guess you just got lucky?" Platoon Leader Ma pouted and said unconvinced.

Old Chen laughed out loud. Meeting the training consultant of the Xiongbing Company had always made him feel very accomplished. Old Chen kept bragging about it in Platoon Leader Ma's ear.

Platoon Leader Ma's ears were almost callused after listening to him. Old Chen finally stopped talking and started rummaging around in Platoon Leader Ma's pockets: "Hey, where did you put your cigarette just now?"

"Hey, what do you want to do? I was hoping to have a cigarette to celebrate a big victory."

Unexpectedly, when he refused, Lao Chen had already taken out the pack of cigarettes, and smiled happily like a hunter who had caught his prey: "Don't be stingy, we can't enjoy this kind of good stuff alone, we have to give some to Consultant Dai as well."

As he was talking, Lao Chen poked his head out and called out to Dai Wen, "Advisor Dai, go ahead."

Dave on the tank heard someone calling him that and laughed. He turned around and saw a pack of cigarettes thrown in front of him. Dave grabbed the cigarettes and asked curiously, "What is this..."

Old Chen leaned his elbows on the car window and laughed, "It's wartime now. If you are always tense, it will be bad for your health. Smoking a cigarette can relieve stress. It's okay. It's okay to smoke during the New Year holidays in the army. Besides, it's wartime now, no one will blame you."

"That's right. But unfortunately, I don't smoke."

Dai Wen agreed with this and threw the cigarette back to Lao Chen, who caught it accurately.

"Really? That's a shame. You know, tobacco is a very precious resource during wartime. If it weren't for Platoon Leader Ma, we really wouldn't be able to enjoy this good thing."

Old Chen turned around and asked Platoon Leader Ma jokingly, "Don't you agree? Platoon Leader Ma?"

Platoon Leader Ma gritted his teeth and glared at Lao Chen fiercely. This guy got the advantage and still acted like a good boy. It was really hateful.

Dai Wen turned around, still staring at Huaguo Mountain. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect there are so many demons around Huaguo Mountain."

"It should be Sun Wukong who attracted the attention of the surrounding demons, right? That's why they gathered here."

Devin looked around. The soldiers in the convoy did not notice the approaching danger. They remained vigilant and continued along their original route.
