Lu Yu stood up, his straight body full of strength like a warrior about to go to war. He turned slightly sideways and said solemnly to Qin Wan who was standing beside him:
"There might be some emergency in the army. I have to go out and check it out. If you feel a little overwhelmed and can't take care of it, you can always ask Ge Xiuxiu or Luo Sulan to come and help you. They will definitely be happy to help."
Ge Xiuxiu is Qin Wan's good friend, and Luo Sulan is Captain Huo's lover. They are both very enthusiastic and have a good relationship with Qin Wan.
Qin Wan nodded gently, with a look of understanding in her eyes, and she replied softly:
"Well, I understand. Please go quickly and come back soon. Don't keep everyone waiting too long. Everyone is looking forward to seeing you."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Yu's departing back gently, and a faint concern arose in her heart.
Lu Yu quickly turned around and followed Xiao Li, and the two walked side by side, like a pair of partners with perfect understanding.
Their steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was on solid ground, carrying an unstoppable momentum.
In the evening, the breeze blew gently, blowing on their young yet extremely resolute faces, as if even the air around them became heavy because of this breath, as if an invisible pressure enveloped their hearts.
"Do you know what it is?"
As Lu Yu walked forward quickly with big strides, he cast his gaze at Xiao Li beside him. His eyes revealed an unquestionable strength, as if as long as Xiao Li knew some inside story, he must tell him without reservation.
Xiao Li frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard there was some emergency in the army, and you need to go over there and handle it as soon as possible."
Xiao Li's face didn't look good, with beads of sweat glistening on his forehead in the dim morning light. He swallowed anxiously, his voice trembling slightly, "But I vaguely heard that a soldier in our regiment's second battalion had his gun... lost."
"What?"
This sentence was like a heavy bomb, exploding in Lu Yu's heart, and he was a little bit unbelievable.
As an elite soldier in the army, he is well aware of the importance of firearms to soldiers, and he is even more aware of the serious consequences that may result from the loss of firearms.
His eyes were like two sharp swords, flashing a cold light in an instant, and that sharp light seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles in front of him.
His pace involuntarily quickened, and every step felt like stepping on a hot iron plate, filled with a sense of urgency and anxiety.
"how so?"
Lu Yu's voice was like a muffled thunder ringing in his ears, low and powerful. Every note seemed to be suppressed by a heavy stone, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of anger and helplessness.
Xiao Li sighed deeply, his expression as complex as a gorgeous yet tangled painting. He said slowly:
"I'm not entirely sure of the details. It seems to be a new recruit from the first platoon of the third company of the second battalion of our regiment. He must be feeling incredibly regretful right now, having accidentally lost his gun.
Because there are extremely strict registration procedures for both entering and exiting the warehouse, when they happily came back to register after training, they suddenly found that the quantity did not match, which scared everyone.
So we immediately organized the entire company to return to the training ground and searched carefully over and over again, turning over every inch of the ground, but in the end we still couldn't find it. We had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the truth to our superiors.
The leaders are like ants on a hot pan, running around in a panic.
Brigade Commander Chu was so angry that he slammed the table, and the table seemed to tremble a few times. His serious face was covered with gloom, and his eyes flashed with anger.
He had already issued a death order, requiring the lost gun to be retrieved as soon as possible at all costs, as if the gun was a piece of flesh and blood in his heart, and there must not be any mistake.
When Lu Yu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly into a ball, as if they were two insurmountable mountains.
His clever brain quickly constructed a series of possible scenes in his mind, which flashed before his eyes frame by frame like playing a movie.
He carefully analyzed the various possibilities of the loss of the gun and kept thinking about it in his heart.
Were the seemingly honest and reliable personnel inside stealing the guns, or were there external forces sneaking in and stealing the guns during the chaos? Or was there some unknown, unimaginable factor that led to this sudden accident?
Various thoughts intertwined in his mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.
"Has anyone outside the army noticed this?" Lu Yu's low and serious voice sounded in Xiao Li's ears, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
He deeply understood the tremendous power of public opinion. If this matter were to be spread to the outside world, the losses it would cause would be immeasurable, and it might trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions, which would have a profound negative impact on the entire army and even society.
Xiao Li nodded heavily at first, as if he was sure that someone knew the secret, but then he quickly shook his head, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Logically, some outsiders should know about it, but the armory is located in a remote area, making it difficult for ordinary people to discover its existence. Even within the military, few people truly understand its specific situation. Furthermore, before this, we had hardly noticed any abnormalities in the armory."
