67: Chapter 67 You little brat, you got specially recruited!

The day of parting came faster than expected.

Three days later, the first list of personnel transfers was released.

Li Qingxue's name was prominently on the list.

Jingzhou University, sophomore student, Life Sciences major.

Reporting location: Northern Theater Command, First Group Army, University Student Military Training Camp.

At the camp entrance, a military off-road vehicle with Northern Theater Command license plates was parked quietly.

Li Qingxue had changed into a brand-new combat uniform and cut off her waist-length hair, transforming it into a neat, short style.

She had lost some of her usual softness, but gained a heroic, spirited air.

She didn't bring any luggage, just stood by the car with a simple marching pack on her back.

Qin Feng, Zhao Hu, and Li Lang came to see her off.

"Classmate Qingxue, once you get there, remember to let us know you're safe." Li Lang's eyes were a bit red.

"Yeah, sister-in-law... I mean, Classmate Qingxue, if you get bullied, just tell us. Once we get over there, we'll help you get back at them!"

Zhao Hu patted his chest, speaking with absolute certainty.

Li Qingxue looked at the two of them, and a warm smile appeared on her usually cool and detached face.

"Okay."

Finally, she looked at Qin Feng.

From beginning to end, he hadn't said a word, just watched her quietly.

The two locked eyes, and the surrounding noise seemed to vanish.

"Qin Feng." Li Qingxue spoke first.

"Yeah."

"What about you? What do you want to do in the future?" she asked.

She had asked this question before.

Qin Feng's answer was exactly the same as last time.

"Enlist early, achieve merit and build a career."

His voice was calm, but carried a resolute power.

Li Qingxue looked at him and suddenly smiled.

She knew it would be this answer.

This man was born for the battlefield.

"Good."

She nodded and didn't say anything else.

Some things didn't need to be said out loud.

She turned, pulled open the car door, her movements crisp and efficient.

Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly turned back and looked at Qin Feng very seriously.

"In the future, we will meet again."

This wasn't a question, but a statement of fact.

Like an agreement, and also like a promise.

Qin Feng's heart felt like it had been gently bumped by something.

He looked into those bright eyes and nodded heavily.

"Goodbye."

The Military vehicle started, kicked up a cloud of dust, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Li Lang and Zhao Hu were still there waving, sighing.

"It's over, it's over. The goddess is gone. I feel like my youth has ended too."

"Brother Feng, how come you don't have any reaction? Aren't you sad?" Zhao Hu turned his head to look at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng didn't speak, just watched the direction the car had disappeared in until it could no longer be seen.

Sad?

Perhaps a little.

But mostly it was a kind of anticipation.

Anticipating that on some future battlefield, he would reunite with her.

By then, he should already be a real soldier.

He withdrew his gaze, and a feeling of unprecedented ambition surged in his chest.

This world, it really had become as crazy as his previous life.

But that was fine too; he was born for the battlefield!

For him, it wasn't a crisis, but an opportunity!

The best stage for him to fully display his ambitions and realize his value!

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Qin Feng."

It was Company Commander Zhou Hailong.

He didn't know when he had already stood behind the three of them.

His expression was more serious than ever before.

"You two, return to your unit." Company Commander Zhou Hailong first ordered Li Lang and Zhao Hu.

The two didn't dare to delay, immediately saluted, and ran back to the ranks.

On the scene, only Qin Feng and Company Commander Zhou Hailong were left.

"Company Commander." Qin Feng stood at attention.

Company Commander Zhou Hailong looked him up and down, his eyes carrying a complex meaning.

There was appreciation, expectation, and a trace of hard-to-detect... excitement.

He took out a document sealed in a kraft paper envelope from his briefcase and handed it to Qin Feng.

On the envelope, two bright red characters were printed.

"Top Secret."

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Opening the file, the words "Special Recruitment Approval Letter" on the document inside made his heart stir slightly.

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's voice was extremely low.

"This is your special recruitment approval, it has passed."

"Your recruit military training ends here."

"From now on, you are no longer a recruit in the training camp; you have officially enlisted."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong looked at him and said, enunciating every word.

Qin Feng was stunned, feeling that happiness had come too fast, it felt a bit unreal.

"Wait, Company Commander, my file is still at Qingteng University."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong smiled mysteriously, patting his shoulder.

"Let me tell you some good news, Qingteng University is now under the jurisdiction of the Southern Military Region."

"Enlisting early, you don't want to? You want to refuse? Do you want me to shoot you?"

As he spoke, Company Commander Zhou Hailong actually reached for his gun.

Qin Feng's hair stood on end, and he quickly laughed it off.

"Company Commander! Don't be impulsive. I'm overjoyed, I can't be happier! I'm willing! I'm absolutely willing."

He just didn't expect Qingteng University to be incorporated into the Southern Military Region so quickly.

That was fine too!

Studying and being a soldier, both can be done!

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to go back to the New Recruit Training Camp."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's voice was steady and powerful.

"Your file transfer is being processed. For the next few days, just rest well in the camp and adjust your physical state."

"Tomorrow, go report to the company first and familiarize yourself with the environment. I've already made arrangements in advance; someone will guide you."

"Once your file is fully transferred, training will officially begin."

Seventh Reconnaissance Company!

This was the sharpest blade in the Group Army, an ace unit with glorious combat achievements.

During the years when the Southwest Border conflict was most intense, the Seventh Reconnaissance Company infiltrated behind enemy lines, conducting decapitation strikes, demolition, and intelligence gathering; they were capable of everything.

They forged the fearsome reputation of the "Ghost Seventh Company," striking terror into the enemy.

Instructor Ma Zhe came from this unit.

"From now on, you are my soldier."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong added, as he was the current company commander of the Seventh Reconnaissance Company.

...

When Qin Feng returned to the dormitory, it was already completely dark.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was terribly oppressive.

Li Lang was sprawled on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Liu Wei was sitting at the desk, wiping his phone screen over and over, seemingly waiting for a call.

Only Zhao Hu was still huffing and puffing while doing push-ups, sweat soaking the floor.

Seeing Qin Feng return, the three had different reactions.

"Brother Feng, what did the Company Commander want with you? He didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

Zhao Hu stopped his movements and asked in a muffled voice.

Qin Feng placed the approval letter on the table.

Three heads immediately leaned in.

"Spe... Special Recruitment Approval Letter?"

Li Lang's voice changed pitch.

"Holy crap! Brother Feng! You... you've officially enlisted just like that?"

Zhao Hu grabbed the document, flipping it back and forth to look at it, his eyes full of envy and excitement.

"Awesome! Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to hide it from us and pull off something this big!"

Liu Wei also leaned over to take a look, his eyes complex—there was envy, but more of an indescribable sense of loss.

"Brother Feng, congratulations..." his voice was very small.

"Alright, it's just a document." Qin Feng sat down. "Let's all talk about it, what are your plans for the future?"

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a silent lake.
