529: We have reached patrol position number four.

Xiao Niannian walked to the edge of the cliff and looked back at her Comrades-in-arms.

Seeing the Comrades-in-arms of the Third Team walking towards them, she thought that it would be great if this place could have iron chains fixed to the rocks, or perhaps a path built.

However, this was definitely not the time to do that.

"Are the three of you injured?"

"Reporting to Captain Lu, we are fine."

"Report, we are fine."

"Thank you, Captain Lu and Comrades-in-arms, we are fine."

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing expressing concern for the Soldiers.

Battalion Commander Wei had also been worried just now, and seeing that everyone was fine, he let out a sigh of relief.

If they hadn't saved the person, and had suffered a few more Comrade-in-arms casualties, it wouldn't matter much if he took off his uniform, but how could he face these Comrades-in-arms and their families?

After everyone had crossed the cliff, Battalion Commander Wei led the people and continued walking forward.

"There is a place ahead where we will set up camp. It's getting dark, so once we get there, we'll camp."

"Okay."

It was dark, and these places were too dangerous. If they encountered another sheer cliff, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The place they were currently staying was on a riverbank, surrounded by many stones, large and small.

Many Soldiers became busy.

Xiao Niannian got up and walked toward the forest.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jing immediately spoke.

"Niannian."

"I'm going to the restroom."

Hearing this, Lu Jing followed.

"I'll stand guard for you."

Hearing his words, Xiao Niannian smiled and nodded.

She walked inside and chose a spot.

A few minutes later, Xiao Niannian walked out.

Xiao Niannian washed her hands by the river and walked toward the camp.

"Niannian, look up."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian looked up.

She saw the starry sky like scattered silver sand, with twinkling, brilliant stars. Some stars were so close to the mountaintop that it gave the illusion that she could reach out and pluck them.

"It's truly beautiful."

Xiao Niannian looked at the starry sky and felt it was incredibly beautiful.

Having been here for two or three years, she really hadn't had much time to look at the night sky, let alone the starry sky of the Tibetan Area.

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing smiled.

"It is indeed beautiful."

It was a pity there wasn't a high-definition camera right now; otherwise, capturing such a beautiful scene would be truly magnificent.

After walking by the river for a few minutes, the two returned to the team.

The rice was almost cooked now, and the dishes included dried vegetables, radish stewed with meat, and cured meat.

"There are many fish here, but the vast majority of people in the Tibetan Area do not eat fish..."

Hearing Battalion Commander Wei's words, Xiao Niannian looked towards Xiao He not far away.

She naturally knew about this matter. These places were rarely visited by people, and no one would come to bury the dead here, so the fish here should be edible.

Including the fish they had encountered previously in the small rivers and streams in the snow mountains, those should also be fine.

She had secretly exchanged some fish before.

The fish caught by the Comrades-in-arms before were all fish she had replaced.

"Ah, so that's how it is."

"Then we'll eat less fish in the future."

"Who would come to this place? The fish here tastes delicious and is edible."

"Our camp used to raise fish, and those fish were all edible."

The Soldiers discussed amongst themselves, and some Soldiers also said they should be careful in the future, as fish from certain places should not be eaten carelessly.

Soon, the meal was ready.

Battalion Commander Wei also used the radio to contact the Commanders of the regiment.

"Reporting to the Leader, we have already arrived at Patrol Position Number Four..."

"All of you must pay attention to safety..."

After eating, Xiao Niannian sat there, looking at the beautiful Milky Way. After sitting for a while, she felt a bit sleepy.

Lu Jing and Battalion Commander Wei were holding a map and discussing tomorrow's arrangements.

After finishing their discussion, Lu Jing walked toward Niannian.

The Soldiers had just cut down some trees and built several wooden cabins here.

The speed of dozens of people was very fast.

They were built in just a few hours. In the future, when Soldiers come here for patrol, they won't have to sleep next to rocks or live in caves.

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing's voice and opened her eyes.

"Let's go, sleep in the wooden cabin."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

These trees were not large. After being nailed together, they were also tied with hand-twisted ropes, and some used bark, etc. They also used knives to carve out notches so the logs interlocked.

They didn't bring tung oil this time; otherwise, applying some tung oil would allow them to last for many years.

Xiao Niannian saw many people taking out cloth pads. She found a spot, laid the pad down, and lay directly on it.

She still had rope in her backpack. If they hadn't built this, she had planned to find two trees and imitate the style of Xiao Longnü.

Lu Jing lay down beside her. Some of the other Soldiers were chatting not far away, and some had already come inside. There were two visible sentries and two hidden sentries guarding nearby.

Xiao Niannian slept soundly until dawn.

When she woke up, seeing that Lu Jing was not in the wooden cabin beside her, she walked out.

She saw some Soldiers starting a fire to cook.

Seeing Xiao Niannian walk over, many Soldiers called out to her.

"Instructor Xiao."

"Comrade Xiao."

Not far away, Battalion Commander Wei looked at Xiao Niannian. He had been somewhat shocked yesterday when he learned that Comrade Xiao was a Female Comrade.

There was actually a Female Comrade in the Special Forces Brigade.

And she was also the instructor for these two Special Forces Members.

Comrade Xiao looked too young, yet her abilities were even greater than those of the Special Forces Members. Heavens, Comrade Xiao was truly amazing.

"Comrade Xiao."

"Battalion Commander Wei."

Battalion Commander Wei was somewhat curious about Xiao Niannian.

"Comrade Xiao, which Military Academy did you graduate from?"

"The City Name's."

Hearing "The City Name's," Battalion Commander Wei was puzzled. He had also graduated from a Military Academy, but a Northern one. Perhaps he wasn't very familiar with it; he hadn't expected the City Name to have a Military Academy as well.

"I graduated from Harbin Military Academy..."

Hearing his words, Xiao Niannian smiled.

"Then we can be considered alumni."

Seeing Battalion Commander Wei's puzzled look, Xiao Niannian smiled and explained the Military Academy in the City Name.

"So that's how it is. Then you truly are my alumna—wait, you're my junior sister."

Battalion Commander Wei was extremely happy and reached out his hand to Xiao Niannian with a smile.

"Hello, Junior Sister."

Xiao Niannian shook hands with Battalion Commander Wei.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

After Battalion Commander Wei withdrew his hand, he praised her.

"I heard the Soldiers calling you Instructor Xiao. Just being able to become a member of the Special Forces Brigade is already very impressive, and you are also their instructor. I can't even imagine how capable you are."

Hearing Battalion Commander Wei's words, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm not that capable. It's just that I know some things that the other Team Members are not very proficient in, which is why they call me instructor."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's modest words, Battalion Commander Wei laughed.

Lu Jing watched Niannian and Battalion Commander Wei chatting from afar, seeing their beaming smiles.
