71: Chapter 71: Arrival at Falcon Base! Wang Yuanchao: I'll be the little one's wet nurse!

The jeep drove into the mountains, with dense jungle lining both sides of the winding road.

Xiao Budian leaned against the window, her large eyes curiously taking in the scenery outside. "Great-grandfather, this place is so remote, there isn't even a convenience store!"

Su Han smiled and rubbed her little head. "This is a restricted military zone, so of course there aren't any shops."

The car rounded a bend, and the view ahead suddenly opened up—

High barbed-wire fences, sentries with live ammunition, and the prominent "Restricted Military Zone" warning signs all highlighted the special nature of this place.

"Wow!" Xiao Budian pointed excitedly into the distance. "Great-grandfather, look! Big planes!"

Several attack helicopters and transport planes were lined up neatly on the tarmac, their cold metallic luster glinting in the sun.

The car slowly came to a halt in front of the base gates.

A sentry stepped forward to check their IDs. Upon seeing Su Han's military credentials, he immediately snapped into a standard salute. "Greetings, Chief!"

Su Han returned the salute, but his gaze drifted past the sentry and into the base—

Zhou Mo was there with the entire War Eagle Squad, lined up and waiting!

"Squeak—"

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Budian shot out like a little cannonball. "Uncle Zhou! Uncle Big Bear! Uncle Monkey! Uncle Bobcat!"

Zhou Mo scooped her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Did Xiao Budian miss her uncles?"

"Yes!" Xiao Budian hugged Zhou Mo's neck and turned to the others. "I missed the other uncles too!"

Big Bear approached with a grin. "Xiao Budian, I brought you something tasty this time!"

He pulled a pack of chocolate from his pocket, and Xiao Budian's eyes instantly lit up.

As the jeep drove further into Falcon Base, Xiao Budian pressed against the window, her eyes wide and her little mouth forming an 'O' shape.

"Great-grandfather! This place is much, much bigger than Uncle Wang Hao's place!" She waved her little hand excitedly, pointing at the training grounds. "There are so many uncles climbing high walls over there!"

Su Han looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a team of Special Forces Soldiers undergoing obstacle training, moving as agilely as leopards.

He smiled slightly. "That's the daily training for Special Forces Soldiers. You'll see even more in the future."

The car stopped in front of the base's office building, and Wang Yuanchao strode forward to meet them.

"Su Han! I've finally been able to welcome you!" Wang Yuanchao laughed heartily, shaking Su Han's hand firmly. "I'm counting on you for the formation of the Womens Special Operations Team!"

Su Han nodded. "Don't worry, Captain. I'll do my best."

Just then, Wang Yuanchao's gaze fell upon Xiao Budian standing by Su Han's leg, and he paused for a moment. "And this is..."

Xiao Budian looked up, blinking her big eyes, and said clearly, "Hello, Uncle! I'm Xiao Budian!"

Wang Yuanchao was delighted and knelt down. "Oh, what a sweet-talker! What's your name?"

"My name is Su Xiaoman, but everyone calls me Xiao Budian!" She puffed out her little chest, looking very proud.

Wang Yuanchao burst into laughter and rubbed her head. "Good! Xiao Budian, welcome to Falcon Base!"

"Captain," Su Han said. "Xiao Budian needs to stay at the base for a while. Is that convenient?"

Wang Yuanchao waved his hand dismissively. "Of course! We might not have a kindergarten here, but I guarantee she'll have a great time!"

He then teased, "I'll even be her nanny and carry her around the base on my back if I have to, haha..."

Seeing Wang Yuanchao's suck-up behavior toward Su Han, Zhou Mo and the others immediately showed looks of utter disdain.

To keep Su Han at Falcon Base, the Captain was truly throwing his dignity out the window!

Su Han was also left speechless by the comment.

Big brother, you're a Colonel!

A dignified Colonel carrying a subordinate's great-granddaughter around the base—does that seem right to you?

But Wang Yuanchao didn't seem to notice their expressions. He smiled and said to Su Han, "Come on, let me show you the surprise I've prepared for you."

————

Deep within the base, they stood before a brand-new three-story building.

"This is your new residence." Wang Yuanchao pushed open the courtyard gate. "Since you're bringing a child, this detached house is perfect. It's only a hundred meters away from the selection training base."

There was a small yard in front of the building with a few fruit trees, and there was even a swing hanging from the second-floor balcony.

Xiao Budian cheered, wriggled out of Zhou Mo's arms, and ran toward the swing. "Great-grandfather! This place is even more fun than home!"

Su Han frowned slightly. "Captain, isn't this standard a bit too high? I'm only a Captain..."

"Wrong!" Wang Yuanchao interrupted him. "You are now the Chief Instructor of the Womens Special Operations Team, enjoying Battalion-level benefits."

He lowered his voice. "Deputy Commander Zhao personally approved this, saying we must provide the best conditions for our 'National Treasure'."

Su Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How did I become a National Treasure?"

"The All-Army Grand Competition champion, a man who took down a transnational kidnapping ring on his own..."

"If that's not a National Treasure, what is?"

Hearing this, the members of the War Eagle Squad all looked curious.

"Brother Han, I heard you took down over a dozen armed kidnappers by yourself?" Monkey leaned in, his eyes full of admiration.

Bobcat couldn't help but ask, "Is it true what Xiao Budian said? You just went 'bang, bang, bang' and knocked them all down?"

Su Han looked helplessly at Xiao Budian, who stuck out her tongue and pretended not to notice.

"Alright, enough gossiping." Wang Yuanchao stepped in to save him. "Su Han just got here; let him get settled first. Zhou Mo, take them to see the training grounds."

————

On the special training grounds, all kinds of high-difficulty facilities were available.

A 400-meter obstacle course, Climbing towers, Tactical shooting ranges, a Combat hall... there was even a complex of buildings simulating an urban battlefield.

"This will be the main training ground for the Womens Special Operations Team," Zhou Mo introduced. "According to your requirements, all facilities have been upgraded and modified."

Su Han nodded, his gaze sweeping over every detail. "How is the selection process coming along?"

"The application forms from the entire Military Region have already filled two large crates." Big Bear gestured exaggeratedly. "When they heard a Womens Special Operations Team was being formed, the female soldiers went crazy."

Monkey added, "More than twenty nurses from our Military Region Hospital alone have signed up."

Su Han: "...Isn't that a bit ridiculous? Even the nurses are coming?"
