291: People with different principles cannot work together.

As Xiao Niannian got out of the car, she immediately felt the cold.

The wind howled, chilling to the bone. It was at least minus ten degrees Celsius.

"We'll rest here today..."

After the team leader finished speaking, Xiao Niannian looked into the distance. The mountains here were not as high as those in the south, and now everything was a vast expanse of white. Although she had carried out missions before and seen heavy snow, the snow before her was much heavier than the snow in her original world.

In the distance, some factory chimneys could still be seen emitting smoke.

On the road not far away, there were also some pedestrians walking, and some people were pushing bicycles.

"Niannian."

Lu Jing had already arranged the others and saw Niannian still staring outside in a daze.

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing's voice and snapped out of it.

"What's wrong?"

"It's my first time seeing such heavy snow; I'm a little excited."

Lu Jing smiled when he heard Niannian's words.

"Do you want to have a snowball fight?"

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"No."

She walked towards the dormitory.

She saw someone carrying out firewood not far away. The other Soldiers had returned to their rooms, and the Soldiers on guard held their guns, looking around. There were also four sentries in the shadows.

Xiao Niannian returned to her room. She was currently in a small single room. The room didn't have heating like in her original world, but there was a heated brick bed, and the room still felt like it was around ten degrees Celsius.

It was much more comfortable than the minus ten-plus degrees outside.

This escort mission to Heilongjiang Province would take several days to get there and several days to return.

The timing was tight, but her Grandparents would have to celebrate New Year's at home in the Capital City.

Xiao Niannian felt that this urgent escort mission was probably not as simple as just escorting supplies.

After a while of daydreaming, Xiao Niannian heard someone call for assembly.

Lunch was also eaten on the road, so she was indeed a bit hungry now. However, when she came this time, her Grandparents had brought her a lot of food, and Xiao Niannian herself had secretly stocked up on some supplies a few days ago.

After assembling, Xiao Niannian and her Comrades-in-arms went to the cafeteria.

After singing a song as usual, they entered the cafeteria to eat.

Looking at the dishes in the cafeteria, Xiao Niannian blinked. How bland!

Stewed pork with Napa cabbage and vermicelli, the taste should be good, but both dishes were bland.

For the next ten-plus days, this was probably all they would eat.

As Xiao Niannian ate, she heard some people discussing.

"This heavy snow has been falling for two days straight. It won't keep falling for many more days, will it?"

"If there's a snow disaster, that would be troublesome."

"We're fine here, but for some remote units, heavy snow truly makes it impossible to move..."

"Look over there, many military vehicles came today. I wonder where they're going."

"Stop talking."

After eating, Xiao Niannian returned to the dormitory. She stood at the door, looking at the vehicles in the distance.

"Comrade Xiao, you're on guard duty at ten tonight..."

Fang Qiang said with a smile.

The guard duty from ten PM to twelve AM was alright. Although it was a bit cold now, two hours could be overcome.

When they used to train in the snow mountains, it was more than just minus ten degrees Celsius.

Time flew by, and it was ten PM. Xiao Niannian's position was a good one. Although it was cold, by the wall, there wasn't much wind, and the snow had stopped.

Xiao Niannian took out her homemade snow goggles and put them on.

The other Soldiers on guard also put on the snow goggles that Xiao Niannian had given them.

Wearing snow goggles while on guard duty would prevent snow blindness... When Lu Jing came out to inspect the guard, he saw Niannian standing there, looking around. The snow goggles she wore on her head were indeed excellent.

Earlier at the Arms Factory, Xiao Niannian had also brought out these snow goggles, saying that wearing them could effectively reduce the incidence of snow blindness among Soldiers on guard duty in heavy snow... The Old Comrades at the Arms Factory were quite surprised to hear this. After asking Niannian in detail, they understood how good these snow goggles were.

And these snow goggles were already being mass-produced. When they left, he sent someone to the Arms Factory to pick up a batch.

The effect was indeed excellent.

"Captain Lu."

Seeing Lu Jing, Xiao Niannian immediately saluted.

Lu Jing returned the salute, said a few words, and then walked forward.

Two hours passed quickly.

After changing shifts, Xiao Niannian saw that it had started snowing again. She rolled a snowball and held it in her hand.

Southerners liked snow, and Northerners liked the sea. Xiao Niannian liked both.

Xiao Niannian rolled a few snowballs and quickly made a few snowmen.

After the snowmen were built, Xiao Niannian looked at her slightly reddened hands and walked towards the dormitory.

A person walked towards her, and upon seeing Xiao Niannian, their gaze fixed on her.

Xiao Niannian noticed someone staring at her. When her gaze swept over, she saw a man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old standing not far away, looking at her.

This person was also wearing a military overcoat and a thick hat.

This person's demeanor was somewhat similar to Lu Jing's, but he gave her a somewhat dangerous feeling. Of course, his demeanor was far inferior to Lu Jing's.

And his appearance was also somewhat inferior to Lu Jing's.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her thoughts and continued walking towards the dormitory.

Qiao Yan watched Xiao Niannian's retreating figure. He already knew Xiao Niannian's background, but he was suspicious of her origins.

In this circle, the movements of the Gu Family, the Lu Family, and other families would attract the attention of some people. Similarly, if there was any stir from their Qiao Family and some other families, it would also attract the attention of many people.

Qiao Yan chuckled, then turned his head and met Lu Jing's gaze.

"Long time no see."

Hearing Qiao Yan's words, Lu Jing looked at Qiao Yan indifferently.

Seeing Lu Jing's cold demeanor, Qiao Yan's lips curved upwards.

"Why are you so cold when you see me? We've been brothers for many years..."

Lu Jing heard Qiao Yan's words and said.

"Those with different paths cannot plan together."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Qiao Yan's expression changed slightly, then he laughed again.

"Old Lu, you really have a temper. We're not children anymore. I heard you have a fiancée? Could it be that Female Comrade just now?"

Qiao Yan stared at Lu Jing, but saw that Lu Jing's expression hadn't changed at all.

He frowned slightly and continued.

"When there's good news, let your brother know..."

Lu Jing ignored him and walked forward.

Seeing Lu Jing ignore him, Qiao Yan's face darkened.

He and Lu Jing's group had been praised by everyone in the compound since childhood and were always compared to each other. Over the years, they had been in constant competition, with him having his own group of people, and Lu Jing having his own group of people.
