A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 238 The Feast of the Fifth Class on the Grassland

What grassroots units need are elite soldiers.

Special forces need weapons of war, so Gao Cheng forced out the murderous aura sealed within Yu Xiu.

At this moment, he had unknowingly transformed from a top soldier of the Steel Seventh Company into a weapon of war.

Neither the Old A Army nor the Beijing Military Region can allow the weapons of war of this era to be retired.

This is a loss for the country.

"My captain gave me a month's leave to think things over. I don't know what I'm missing."

Gao Cheng remained silent for a moment, staring intently into Feng Yuxiu's sinister eyes.

He could sense that something terrible had probably happened to Feng Yuxiu.

It's not as simple as the target being hit by mercenaries, as mentioned above.

Feng Yuxiu is currently on a delicate cusp; he may be heading in the right direction.

He might also fall into darkness, his personality becoming that of the villain.

This personality type will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

“I’ve witnessed your perseverance and determination, but seeing you like this always makes me uneasy. I’ve probably never experienced anything like this before. So, Xu Sanduo, as your former company commander, may I ask you why you’re like this?”

Gao Cheng's face was full of worry; this was the first time such a worried expression had appeared on the face of this son of a military family.

He had no idea what had happened to this soldier in front of him that would make such a top soldier, someone he never thought could show any signs of defeat, appear bewildered.

Therefore, he had to ask.

Feng Yuxiu fell silent.

So Gao Cheng stood quietly to the side and listened, waiting and listening intently.

He desperately wanted to know what had happened to this soldier.

Feng Yuxiu slowly spoke, "I'm thinking about some things. Should I kill him completely, or leave him a chance?"

"Kill others, and save yourself. Kill the perception that doesn't even exist."

Gao Cheng, the son of a military family, was somewhat dazed at this moment.

He stared blankly at the soldier in front of him. "What the hell are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?"

Feng Yuxiu began, "Right now, if anyone shows me even the slightest hostility, I want to nip it in the bud. And with this mindset, I simply can't maintain a normal rationality."

"Only in a group fight can I suppress the urge to kill others."

Gao Cheng understood now. "I understand. Paranoia is when you always feel that others want to harm you. I've heard that people who have come from war often have a sense of indifference towards life and a fear of war. They may even suffer from nightmares for a long time."

"I've never seen your kind of mentality of getting stronger after setbacks before."

Gao Cheng slowly sat down. "So, what was the reason you retired from the military? Was it because you were afraid you wouldn't be able to resist killing someone?"

Feng Yuxiu shook his head. "Revenge? To be honest, to some extent, I do have a place in this woman's heart. She almost died because of me and is still lying in bed. I can't let this grudge go unpunished."

"The rules for staying in the military are too strict, and I really don't have the patience to keep going."

Gao Cheng nodded. "It's alright. After going to Old A, at least we can have normal conversations now. You know, when we were in the Steel Seventh Company, you hardly ever spoke. I always thought you were a Tang, and I wondered why Shi Jin would recruit someone with such mental problems."

"Now I understand, you just want revenge, and hatred is a good thing."

"Huh?" Feng Yuxiu stared at Gao Cheng in astonishment. This was the first time he hadn't offered any words of comfort to himself.

Gao Cheng squatted down, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, turned his head and waved to the staff officer in the distance behind him.

The staff officer nodded and turned to say something to the communications soldier.

The armored vehicle slowly drove away.

"Well then, persuasion is done by doing, not by talking. Our exercise is over, so let's go with the vehicle."

"Maybe I can find the answer to your problem."

Gao Cheng picked up his helmet, looking somewhat agitated.

Inside the helmet was a grasshopper whose leg had been broken by the shock of a shell.

Gao Cheng flicked his right hand lightly, and the grasshopper kicked its one leg, emitting a strong, low whistle like a grenade passing by, before disappearing into the grass forty or fifty meters away in an arc.

Gao Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "See that? It has a broken leg. Are you not as good as it? Stand up and come with me."

As the sun sets, soldiers are catching grasshoppers on the grassland in the last rays of sunlight.

After the smoke cleared, everything looked incredibly beautiful, and several advance vehicles had already bypassed the small group of people and started their journey.

On the bus, Gao Cheng pondered his question carefully, the one Feng Yuxiu had given him.

If this soldier wasn't motivated by hatred, what was his reason for wanting to retire?

The staff officer sensed the awkward atmosphere and couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Battalion Commander, the mess hall truck is asking us where we're having our meal."

"Landmark 0462, it's a good opportunity to treat those guys. We have some specialties, you know. Let's roast some lamb tonight to satisfy their cravings." The staff officer nodded. "Yes, I understand. I'll notify them right away."

"Have all the good guns from our battalion come?" Gao Cheng asked.

The staff officer was taken aback. "They're here. Who are those sharpshooters planning to compete against?"

Gao Cheng looked at Feng Yuxiu and said, "I know what he's missing. He's lost his fighting spirit. He's only thinking about how to fulfill his pathetic hatred."

"He lost patience. He completely lost patience and felt that no one in the army could control him anymore."

“He feels that once he leaves the army, Chaoyang can make a name for himself. So, I’m going to find him a few people who can keep him in check tonight.”

"See? This kid's gotten cocky. Among the people I consider least frivolous, he's the first to get cocky."

Feng Yuxiu did not refute Gao Cheng's words.

In fact, he didn't know what he wanted either; perhaps Gao Cheng was right.

There was no one left in the entire Old A team who could teach him.

At the border, the entire Old A team was completely suppressed by that group of mercenaries and couldn't even lift their heads.

It's him!

He single-handedly turned the tide with 40 firepower; he saved the entire Old A team.

Therefore, he was able to fully utilize his abilities only after leaving Old A.

Only then can we find Scorpion's group.

Then they peeled off their skin and stuffed it into their ears!

The car crossed the hillside and the hill.

Finally, they left the desolation and entered an even more desolate plain.

The surrounding grasslands and herdsmen have become more numerous, and the roads have been widened by the wear and tear of armored vehicles and tanks.

Feng Yuxiu turned his head to look outside the armored vehicle, gazing at the familiar scenery, especially the five-pointed star-shaped road ahead.

That was Old Ma's way of finding what he had built.

The fifth class of the grassland has arrived.

Feng Yuxiu looked at Gao Cheng strangely.

Gao Cheng laughed and said, "Isn't it cliché? We found a soldier from the dejected Steel Seventh Company and compared him to you, an old soldier from the A-team who is planning to retire."

Gao Cheng got out of the car and looked at the Fifth Platoon on the dark grassland. "It's a cliché, but Xu Sanduo—come down and let's see if this unit really can't accommodate you."

"And I have an ace up my sleeve!"

Feng Yuxiu remained silent for a moment, then pushed open the door and went downstairs.

Then he saw the fellow villager who was under the banyan tree.

Cheng Cai carried an 81 rifle and aimed at the distance.

"Did you know? He's now the best marksman in the entire army. Since returning from the old A unit, his marksmanship has improved so much that it has shocked everyone."

"Xu Sanduo, do you even know what it means to be the best sniper in the entire army? He can suppress you, but you're still far from being a match for him."

Cheng Cai seemed unfazed, and his tone of voice was no longer as unpleasant as before.

He became calm and simple.

This quality should have been present in him from the beginning, but it's only appearing now, which is a bit late.

But it's never too late.

But when Cheng Cai saw Feng Yuxiu, his calm and simple demeanor turned into a tearful smile.

People are most afraid of comparison, especially when they see someone they used to look down on now standing higher than them.

That feeling was filled with anger and helplessness.

Cheng Cai wasn't angry, but rather somewhat at a loss.

He admitted that this soldier was a completely different person from the simpleton he had met in Xia Rongshu Village.

He felt inferior; the other guy was A.

The place he had always dreamed of staying in has now returned to his hometown in glory.

He was assigned to Feng Yuxiu's starting point.

Gao Cheng looked at the soldier in front of him with a half-smile. "Don't just stand there. We're all old acquaintances, no need for introductions. Let's eat! Cheng Cai, join us for a meal today, it's my treat!"

Cheng Cai paused, then forced a smile. "Sure, Company Commander."

Upon hearing the words "company commander," Gao Cheng's eyes revealed a strange glint.
