A black jeep was speeding on the road.
"Captain Lin, do you want to go back to our 006 team's base first?" Zhang Zhengting, who was driving, turned around and looked at Lin Qiye and said, "In the battle two years ago, our team didn't get to greet you face to face, and everyone felt very sorry. It just so happens that you are in Beijing this time, how about we have a meal together to get to know each other?
It just so happens that Captain Shao will be back from a meeting tonight, and he has been wanting to talk to you."
Lin Qiye was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "No problem."
Speaking of which, although he and others had fought with Team 006 in the past, except Yuan Gang, he had never seen a single member of Team 006. Although it was just a battle of aura at that time, he still injured others after all, so it was reasonable to visit them.
As for the captain of Team 006, Shao Pingge, Lin Qiye had wanted to meet him for several years.
Judging from the intelligence we have obtained, Captain Shao Pingge and Chen Muye were known as the "Black and White Devils" of Shangjing back then, and they had a very good relationship. Perhaps we can learn more about Chen Muye through him.
What's more, two years ago, Shao Pingge risked being dismissed and gave the nameplate left by the Blue Rain team to Lin Qiye and others without authorization, when they had not yet registered as a special team. Otherwise, they could not even enter the fog, let alone save Zhou Ping.
This kindness is still very important.
Seeing Lin Qiye agreed, Zhang Zhengting's eyes showed joy. He stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards the 006 team's base.
…
Soon after, the vehicle slowly stopped in front of an ancient courtyard.
Lin Qiye and others got out of the car and followed Zhang Zhengting to the gate of the courtyard. The latter opened the door, waited to one side, and made a gesture of invitation to everyone.
"Huh?" Baili Pangpang just walked into the door and stepped on the brand new blue bricks on the ground with his feet, and asked in confusion, "Your furnishings here are all quite old, but these bricks... why are they all so new?"
“…”
Zhang Zhengting said helplessly, "I'll have to ask you guys about this."
Baili Pangpang was stunned, seemingly unable to understand what Zhang Zhengting meant. An Qingyu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "This was what we shattered two years ago..."
Baili Pangpang suddenly understood.
Zhang Zhengting coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, "This courtyard house existed sixty or seventy years ago. The captain of the Shangjing City team bought this courtyard house and later used it as the base of the 006 team. Although the personnel have been replaced, this place has never been moved.
Over there is where our team members live, over there is the captain’s office, and over there is where we do our daily training…”
As they walked, Zhang Zhengting introduced this courtyard to Lin Qiye and others.
"Captain Shao Pingge is in a meeting right now, and Deputy Captain Yuan Gang is still out on the road, so there are probably eight or nine team members in the yard right now..."
"Eight or nine team members?"
Hearing this number, Lin Qiye was stunned. "Isn't that right? Isn't the upper limit of the number of people in the Night Watch team only nine? And when we came here last time, it seemed that your team didn't have so many people..."
"That was two years ago." Zhang Zhengting explained with a smile, "In the past two years, the Night Watch has increased the number of new recruits. Last year, the number of new recruits was about twice that of your class. This year, it seems that the number will be tripled...
By recruiting so many new recruits, when they graduate, each team will have more fresh blood. Our 006 team in Shangjing City now has five members who are new recruits who have just arrived in the past two years. "
"Why are you suddenly recruiting so many new people?" Baili Pangpang asked puzzledly.
"It's because of the war." An Qingyu pushed his glasses and answered the question for Zhang Zhengting. "When I was at Shenlong Pass before, I was wondering why there were only a few night watchmen stationed at a war pass on the border... But when I calculated, I found that this phenomenon was very normal.
The number of Night Watchmen in Daxia is not large to begin with. On top of the fact that they have to garrison in various cities, they simply cannot mobilize so many people to guard the war passes. This is definitely not feasible, so the most direct way is to increase the number of Night Watchmen by recruiting more new soldiers.
The influx of a large number of new recruits has increased the number of Night's Watch teams in various places. By the time the experience transfer between new and old soldiers is basically completed, the twelve war passes will be completed.
If I'm not mistaken, the top brass will then deploy most of the veterans to the battle pass, leaving the less experienced recruits to garrison the cities."
An Qingyu paused and continued:
"If that day comes, it means... that war is really coming."
Zhang Zhengting looked at An Qingyu in surprise and nodded, "Yes, that's indeed the reason."
As they were talking, they had already walked outside the training ground.
"According to the time, our team members should be training now. Let's go in and take a look... eh?"
Zhang Zhengting had just walked to the entrance of the training ground when he suddenly froze in place.
In the training ground, several players were standing in the corners. One of them was hugging a moss-covered rockery, looking very tender. Another was squatting in front of a mouse hole under a pillar, expressing his love to a passing ant. Two big guys were holding each other's hands, gazing at each other lovingly, as if they were going to kiss each other in the next moment...
Outside the training ground, Lin Qiye and others who witnessed this scene were petrified at the same time.
"This..." Baili Pangpang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Are your team's usual training programs so gay?"
I feel like they discovered some incredible secrets of Team 006...
Wouldn't he be silenced?!
"No……"
Zhang Zhengting frowned as if he had thought of something, "Is it true?"
Zhang Zhengting quickly walked up to the team members, stretched out his hand, and knocked heavily on their foreheads. The team members who were knocked were dazed for a moment, and then their eyes showed spirit again.
"Zhengting?" One of the team members was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Zhengting, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said, "What am I..."
"You've been besieged by Zhenzhen's magic." Zhang Zhengting looked around, "Where's Zhenzhen? Where did she go?"
The team member opened his mouth, and a bitter look appeared at the corner of his mouth...
"Zhenzhen...ran away from home."
