When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 130 My class vice-president is useless?! Get out of my way!

The next day, after the reveille was blown, the four veterans and Xu Ge began to pack their things and change clothes.

Xu Ge put on the windbreaker and jeans that Thor had given him last time, and added a fleece underneath.

Niu Sanxian was cleaning out Guo Yuanshuai's belongings. He originally wanted to bring a bottle of wine, but after being persuaded by the others, he decided against it.

Kaiyoumu and Li Dongshui silently put on their hats and tied their belts, preparing to go downstairs for morning exercises.

"Damn it, with all five of you gone, it's just me and Li Dongshui left in the class!"

Kaiyu cursed, "They can't even put together a three-man tactical team..."

Boom boom boom!
The messenger knocked on the door.

"Li Dongshui, the company commander wants you to skip morning exercises today. Pack your things, and he'll take you to the regiment after breakfast!"

Li Dongshui asked curiously, "What are you going to the troupe for?"

"Join sniper training!"

"Oh, okay!" Li Dongshui unbuckled his belt and took off his hat.

"Hayam!"

Kaiyoumu flopped onto the bed: "I'm not doing morning exercises anymore! Let's do it!"

Niu San laughed first: "Do you believe that the platoon leader will come up and kick your butt later?"

Kaiyoumu got angry as soon as he saw Niu Sanxian: "No, Niu Sanxian, what right do you have to go? Wang Lin and the other two are really injured. What the hell do you have besides phimosis? Have you forgotten what your aunt said last time?"

"Let's go, someone's staying behind to be a lone commander!" Niu San slung his bag over his shoulder and strode out the door, ignoring everyone else.

Kaiyoumu followed him out and kicked him, saying, "Bring me back ten kilograms of cut cake!"

"Then just kill me now!"

"Five kilograms is fine too!"

"I have a 21-year-old bullwhip, do you want to eat it...?"

The two of them went downstairs, bickering and joking, while Xu Ge and the others followed behind.

While the rest of the Sixth Company were still assembling and forming ranks, Xu Ge and his four companions had already left the house and headed directly towards the regimental headquarters.

Before going to bed last night, Niu Sanxian had already called Deputy Chief of Staff Gao Wen to borrow a car.

When they arrived at the regimental headquarters, they saw a sergeant standing in front of a jeep waiting. Upon seeing the five of them, he immediately handed the car keys to Niu Sanxian: "The deputy chief of staff said to remember to fill up the tank when you come back. There's a gas card in the car."

"Thanks for your hard work, brothers! Please thank Chief of Staff Gao for us!"

Niu San took the keys first, opened the passenger door, and waved to Xu Ge, "Uncle, come on, sit here!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
The other three veterans chuckled and went into the back row. Wang Lin cursed, "You dog, are you scared now?"

Xu Ge, who had just sat in the passenger seat, looked at Niu Sanxian with some confusion: "What are you afraid of?"

While lighting the fire, Niu Sanxian said, "Uncle, if my aunt hits me when we get to the hospital, you have to put in a good word for me!"

Xu Ge didn't believe it: "It can't be that exaggerated. Dr. Lin must be joking when he said he wouldn't let you go!"

"No, really! You don't understand, I've been beaten since I was a kid!" Niu San clasped his hands together. "Please, Uncle, when we get to Night City, I'll take you to the bazaar, and it's on me!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get on the national highway to find a place to have breakfast!" Su Liujun urged.

Buzz!
"Yahoo! gogogo!"

Niu San shouted and stepped on the gas, and the car immediately shot off.

. . .

. . .

It was freezing cold outside, but the car's heater was on full blast, making everyone drowsy. Xu Ge had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

"Damn it! Niu Sanxian, why did you take this road? No wonder I was having trouble breathing!" Su Liujun cursed from the back seat.

Xu Ge opened his eyes and saw that the car was still driving on the gravel road, with desolation on both sides.

Feeling a slight tightness in his chest, Xu Ge quickly opened the car window, and the cold air instantly sobered him up.

Based on experience, the current altitude should be above 5000 meters!
Xu Ge turned to look at Niu Sanxian: "Where did you bring us?"

"The navigation just warned that the road to Thirty Mile Camp is closed. It snowed heavily there last night!" Niu Sanxian explained.

"So where are we going now?"

"We'll take the national highway from the Sweetwater Marine Station and have breakfast there."

"Forget it!" Wang Lin said, speechless. "There's nothing there but instant noodles!"

As we were talking, the car climbed a big hill and turned onto National Highway 219. There was a barracks not far ahead on the side of the road.

It was deep winter, and there wasn't a single car on the road. Niu Sanxian turned the steering wheel and drove the car directly to the gate of the military post.

Xu Ge looked at the five large characters "Sweetwater Sea Military Station" at the entrance and said, "Sweetwater Sea, that's a pretty interesting name!"

“Once you know the origin of this name, you won’t find it interesting anymore,” Su Liujun said.

Xu Ge: "Where did this name come from?"

“There’s no need to know. Let’s not talk about this in front of the brothers at the military post.” Niu Sanxian gestured for everyone to get out of the car. “Let’s go in and have a bowl of noodles before we set off.”

Compared to the bustling military post at Thirty Mile Barracks, this place was deserted. There wasn't a single person in the courtyard, and not even anyone was on guard at the gate.

Niu San called out a few times, but when no one came out to open the door, he climbed over the wall and opened the door, allowing everyone to enter.

Xu Ge was shocked. Could this really be done?

"I guess the old stationmaster is sleeping. Niu San, go check on the dorm first." Su Liujun seemed to know the place well and led the others directly to the canteen.

Xu Ge followed at the back, and his ears twitched as he overheard the conversation between Niu Sanxian and the stationmaster in a room in the distance.

"Old stationmaster, still asleep?"

"Who are you?" a groggy voice asked.

"I'm Xiao Niu! I came to see you with Deputy Squad Leader Guo last time!"

"Oh! You're the new recruit that Lao Guo brought last time. I didn't even recognize you in civilian clothes."

"Old stationmaster, I'm a corporal now!"

"Time flies so fast? I can't quite remember. By the way, what brings you here?"

"We're just passing by and would like to have breakfast here."

"The instant noodles are in the warehouse, and there's nothing else to eat. I'll boil some water myself. I'm not feeling well, so I'll sleep a little longer."

"Old stationmaster, why are you all alone?"

"The other one went to fetch water. Nobody wants to stay on the mountain in winter, it's just the two of us this year... Alright, you go ahead and do your thing!"

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ge suddenly realized why there wasn't a single guard at the main gate; the entire outpost only had one person!

Su Liujun started boiling water as if he knew the ropes, while Niu Sanxian went to the warehouse and brought out a few buckets of flour.

"Is the old stationmaster on duty on the mountain again this winter?" Su Liujun asked.

Niu San nodded first: "Yes, he's not feeling well, so we won't let him get up."

Xu Ge stepped forward and took the noodles: "I'll cook them!" A few minutes later, the five of them sat on stools and ate the noodles heartily.

"Why are there only two people in such a big outpost?" Xu Ge asked curiously, wiping his mouth.

“It’s too harsh here. There are only a few troops passing through in the summer. In winter, heavy snow can block the mountain for months. Who would want to stay here?”

Su Liujun explained, "If it weren't for the fact that someone had to be on duty to maintain communications along the route, this outpost could be closed for two months in winter without any problem. Sigh, at an altitude of over 5300 meters, let alone sleeping a little longer in the morning, just lying here every day is a sacrifice!"

Xu Ge was deeply shocked, as he had never known before that there were 24-hour military posts at such a high altitude.

After everyone finished eating, they cleaned up the canteen. When they left, Niu Sanxian closed the door again, then got into the car and drove straight to Yecheng along the national highway.

. . .

. . .

Drop drop!
Around noon, at the first traffic light just inside the city, the cars behind kept honking their horns.

Xu Ge looked at Niu Sanxian with confusion: "Why didn't you go when the light turned green?"

"Damn it! I haven't seen a traffic light in over a year, I want to look at it a little longer!"

Xu Ge: ...

So, he hasn't seen a traffic light since he enlisted in the army.

Wang Lin kicked the seat from behind: "Get out of here, you're driving a military vehicle!"

"Damn it! I forgot!" Niu Sanxian quickly stepped on the gas, and the car turned left into a street.

Xu Ge sniffed, the aroma of hundreds of different kinds of delicacies filling his nostrils!

"Brothers, we're finally in town!" Liu Senlin shouted. "What should we eat first?"

"Baked buns!"

"Pig rice with your hands!"

"Milk skin! The kind that Guli makes herself!"

Snapped!
Niu Sanxian snapped his fingers: "Then let's go to the Grand Bazaar and eat our way through them!"

An hour later, the five people returned to the car with their round bellies sticking out.

Xu Ge burped: "Shouldn't we bring one for the deputy squad leader too?"

"A warm greeting is enough!"

Niu San lit a cigarette, started the car, and said, "Let's go to the hospital."

The military hospital is located in the north of Yecheng. Today is a weekday and also the end of the year, so there aren't many people in the hospital.

After parking the car, the five headed straight for the hospital building, with Niu Sanxian unknowingly falling behind.

A pretty figure was waiting at the door; it was Lin Wan.

"Dr. Lin, thank you for your help!" Xu Ge stepped forward to greet him.

He felt that Lin Wan looked different today than before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

Just as he was wondering, a fragrant scent wafted to his nose, and Xu Ge suddenly realized: Dr. Lin was wearing makeup today!

"Why are you being so formal with me?" Lin Wan smiled and looked behind Xu Ge. "These are all your comrades, right? Introduce them to me."

"Oh, okay!" Xu Ge began to introduce them one by one, "This is Su Liujun."

Lin Wan smiled and nodded: "Hello, Sergeant. I've already contacted a varicose vein surgeon for you. He's free this afternoon!"

Su Liujun was completely stunned: "Th...thank you, Dr. Lin!"

"This is Wang Lin!"

"Sergeant Wang Lin, you and Corporal Liu Senlin can both go see the head of orthopedics. You can get his opinion on whether or not surgery is necessary!"

Wang Lin and Liu Senlin were also extremely shocked. This Dr. Lin even remembered everyone's name and rank!

"Who is this...wait, where did he go?"

Xu Ge looked behind him and saw that no one was there. When he turned around, he found that Niu Sanxian's ear was being held in Lin Wan's hand.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do.

"You dare disobey me now? Who sent you here?"

Lin Wan twisted her wrist, and Niu Sanxian was in so much pain he almost did a side somersault. He quickly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Uncle, save me! I'll treat you to some hand-grabbed rice!"

brush!
Lin Wan's face flushed instantly, and she scolded, "What are you yelling about? Who's your uncle-in-law!"

Xu Ge blushed deeply, but since Niu Sanxian had indeed treated him to lamb leg and pilaf, he awkwardly stepped forward and said:
"Um... Dr. Lin... could you...?"

"Fine! Then I'll spare him for your sake!"

Before Xu Ge could finish speaking, Lin Wan released Niu Sanxian and immediately turned to walk towards the elevator. "Your class monitor is on the 6th floor. Come with me."

Xu Ge could see clearly that the back of Lin Wan's ears were red.

The two elevators arrived at the first floor almost simultaneously. Lin Wan entered the left elevator first, followed by Xu Ge.

Niu Sanxian and the other three entered the right side of the road without prior arrangement.

The elevator slowly ascended, and an awkward atmosphere began to spread.

Just as Xu Ge was thinking about how to ease the tension, Lin Wan suddenly said in a serious tone, "Xu Ge, there's something you need to be prepared for."

Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Lin Wan: "What is it?"

Lin Wan: "The vice dean said that Guo, the deputy squad leader, already had a pre-existing lumbar spine injury, and the external impact made the situation even more serious. I'm afraid he will never be able to do anything related to heavy physical labor again!"

boom!
Xu Ge's mind went completely blank for a moment, his chest tightened, and his voice became hoarse from the pressure of the air rushing through his throat: "You mean, my deputy squad leader... he... he's crippled?!"

Lin Wan looked at Xu Ge, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes, and remained silent.

Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and a commotion erupted outside.

"I'm not going. I told you I'm not sick. I don't want to go into that big box for another checkup. I'm scared, and I feel uncomfortable!"

Xu Can, who was being held up by Thor and a female officer, was struggling desperately.

Thor reassured him, "Yes, yes, you just have a concussion. We'll get you checked out again and you'll be fine..."

"Hey, Xu Ge, you're here?"

Xu Can spotted Xu Ge coming out of the elevator at a glance. Perhaps he had developed a sense of dependence on Xu Ge after being saved by him, and immediately pointed at Xu Ge and said, "I can go for a check-up, but Xu Ge has to come with me!"

Thor then saw Xu Ge and Lin Wan and nodded in surprise to greet them.

Lin Wan glanced at Xu Can, then at Xu Ge, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Meanwhile, Niu Sanxian and his three companions had just come out and were all taken aback when they heard Xu Can's words.

Xu Ge remained silent with a cold expression and walked straight out.

Xu Can quickly grabbed Xu Ge's arm: "Xu Ge, you stay with me..."

"Get out of my way! Don't bother me!" Xu Ge swung his arm and roared angrily.

The entire audience was stunned!
