Vroom, rumble, rumble—
Above the azure sky, several heavy armed transport helicopters slowly descended, their rotors whipping up a fierce wind that stirred up sand and dust from the ground.
On the other side of the tarmac, several men in military uniforms stood firm against the strong wind, like statues that never fall.
The helicopter door slowly opened, and Yuan Gang, dressed in military uniform and carrying a black box on his back, stepped off the helicopter.
Clap—!
The soldiers waiting on one side saluted in unison and shouted in a powerful voice:
"Greetings, Commander!"
Yuan Gang strode over with a serious expression, the wind whipped up by the helicopter behind him making his clothes flutter loudly!
"Is the training camp all set up?"
"Report! The training camp is ready!"
"Okay." Yuan Gang nodded. "By the way, give me a list of the new recruits for this training camp."
"Yes sir!"
With the black box on his back, Yuan Gang turned and walked towards the training camp that had sprung up overnight.
The training camp is located in a deserted suburb within the territory of Cangnan City. It covers a huge area and is surrounded by checkpoints within a ten-mile radius, with the defense level of a military base. No one but the new recruits who came for training can reach this place.
"Commander, this is the list of new recruits for this year." Just as Yuan Gang and the instructors were touring the training camp, a soldier ran up quickly and handed the list to Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang took the list, glanced at it, and froze on the spot.
The instructors behind them also stopped.
Yuan Gang rubbed his eyes, looked at it carefully twice, and muttered to himself, "Damn it... what kind of lineup is this this year?"
"What's wrong, sir?" The instructor behind him asked curiously as he stepped forward.
"The young master of the Guangshen Baili Group? Is it... is it that Baili Group?" The instructor behind him glanced at the first line and was stunned.
"The Baili family, the number one family group in Great Xia, the second largest sponsor behind the Night Watch after the government, known as the Museum of Forbidden Objects?" Another instructor couldn't help but ask, "This...this is the young master of our Night Watch's owner's family?"
"Why would a perfectly good young master like you become a night watchman? To experience life?"
"Maybe so. We don't understand the minds of the rich."
"What will we do during training? What if we hit him too hard and he gets angry... won't he retaliate?"
"They dare?" Yuan Gang's eyes narrowed slightly. "The Night Watch is a national organization. It's true that the Baili family sponsored a lot of money, but the Night Watch is not their backyard!"
"Once you're in our training camp, everyone is equal. Train like crazy! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
"Yes sir!"
The instructors nodded solemnly.
Yuan Gang's gaze fell back on the list in his hand. "This year, another agent of the gods has appeared. Not just one, but two—and they are twins."
"Two Gods' Agents? Which gods?"
Yuan Gang looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Codename 003, Seraphim Michael... And Codename 004, Fallen Angel, Lucifer"
"Seraph?! And Lucifer!??"
"When did Lucifer get agents!?"
"Good thing they're on our Night Watcher side..."
"It's been so many years since a divine proxy has appeared, let alone two in one year! These kids has a bright future ahead of them!"
"The last god's agent to emerge from basic training... wasn't that one from the special squad [Masked]?"
"Right."
Yuan Gang looked at the list in his hand, circled a few names with a red pen, and sighed helplessly.
"A young master from the Baili Group, an agent of the Seraphim and finally an agent of the Fallen Angel are already enough of a headache for us..."
"This time, three more owners of ultra-high-risk forbidden ruins have appeared at once, one of whom is in the top 50!"
"In addition, there are inheritors of the Baguazhang style from Beijing, inheritors of the Mo family spear style from Hebei, and active-duty special forces soldiers…"
Looking at the dense red circles in Yuan Gang's hand, the instructors behind him felt a little uneasy.
"Commander... these are tough opponents. Can we handle them?"
Yuan Gang remained silent for a long time, then put away the list in his hand and calmly spoke:
"Contact the [Masked] squad and have them come and keep things under control for me..."
"Only a monster can subdue another monster"
...
Outside the training camp.
Inside the military checkpoint, a special forces soldier holding binoculars frowned slightly, looked into the distance for a long time, slowly put down the binoculars, and took out a walkie-talkie.
"Report: Someone has been spotted approaching from ahead."
"Report on his situation."
"A young male, who looks like a high school student, is dragging a pink Hello Kitty suitcase and a Peppa Pig suitcase. And the other is a young female looks exactly the same as the male with two large suitcases"
"It's not visible whether they're carrying any weapons."
"High school students?" The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie paused. "Are they new recruits reporting for duty? The notice was only sent out this morning, and they're already here by noon? What kind of speed is that?"
"They're still approaching this way, please advise!"
"Stand by, I'll go meet him."
A short while later, a military off-road vehicle drove out from behind the checkpoint and headed in the direction the boy had come from.
The sun was blazing.
At this moment, Lin Qiye was dragging two suitcases along a rugged, muddy road, a few drops of sweat sliding down his cheeks.
"This place...is there really a training camp?" Lin Qiye looked around and muttered to himself, "Is the captain playing a trick on us because we didn't return the goods?"
"Maybe... Ugh... Just dragging these suitcases to these muddy place..." Lin Xi Chen grumbled and wiped the sweat from her forehead as she leaned against her suitcases.
Having just received the exact address of the recruit training camp this morning, Chen Muye urged him to come over. After yesterday's awkward send-off ceremony, the entourage wasn't as grand today. Wen Qimo drove him to the vicinity and then let him walk there by himself.
After learning that Lin Qiye was training in Cangnan, everyone seemed less worried. Perhaps, as Chen Muye said, if something really happened to Lin Qiye, everyone could come over with their swords, unlike when they were in Shangjing, where they were so anxious.
No matter what, Cangnan City is their 136th Squad's own territory.
Vroom—!
Just as Lin Qiye was dragging his suitcase forward, the roar of a car sounded from afar. Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and stopped.
A camouflaged military off-road vehicle, kicking up dust, screeched to a halt beside Lin Qiye.
An officer poked his head out from inside, carefully scrutinizing Lin Qiye and Lin Xi Chen. "What are you doing here?"
"For the training."
"New recruits?"
"Um."
"You guys got here so fast?!"
"We're from Cangnan."
"...Let me see your ID."
Lin Qiye and Lin Xi Chen both handed the documents that Chen Muye had prepared for them to the officer, who examined them carefully for a long time before returning them to Lin Qiye and pointing behind him.
"Get in."
Lin Qiye put his luggages and help Lin Xi Chen put hers in the trunk, they both got into the SUV, and the officer drove them directly through all the checkpoints, finally stopping the car at the gate of the training camp.
"We're here. Go in yourself." He gestured with his chin towards the large gate in front of him.
The twin jumped out of the car, Lin Qiye's dragging two pink suitcases, and stood in front of the huge iron gate, looking up at it.
——039 New Recruit Training Base.
This is where they will spend the next year.
He was the first new male recruit here and Lin Xi Chen was the first female recruit here!
