Chapter 338 Emergency Assembly Su Tang returned to her dormitory and pulled the faded old military cloth bed curtain shut, completely isolating herself in that small space of less than two square meters.
She leaned against the cold wall, exhaled a long, slow breath, and felt her nerves, which had been tense all afternoon, finally relax a little.
Dealing with Wang Xiaoya and her group's gossipy interrogations, which were comparable to interrogations, was more tiring than fighting an exercise with those incompetents in Battalion No. 2. Defused a time bomb would have been easier on the brain.
With a thought, she took out the neatly wrapped kraft paper envelope from her storage space. By the light of the cool moonlight filtering through the cracks in the window, she gently stroked the strong and powerful handwriting on it.
Thinking back to that afternoon, he was like a god emerging from hell, taking only three seconds to knock Zhang Kui, who was as strong as a bull, to the ground with that ruthless and decisive force, treating human life as worthless...
Then I think back to that small home in the family compound, where he would clumsily warm up milk for her, and secretly, after she fell asleep, he would rest his chin on her head like a large dog, rubbing against her contentedly and peacefully...
Su Tang felt as if her heart was being gently grasped by a warm hand, both sore and tender.
How many facets does this man have?
One second he's a terrifying devil who can scare people to death, the next he's blushing and so nervous he can't even speak coherently.
She pressed the envelope tightly to her chest, savoring the unique and irreplaceable peace that belonged only to her.
Fine, let them come. The so-called "long-term classified mission" means coming to her as an instructor, which is better than going to some godforsaken border region to eat sand.
At least, he was right in front of her. The fact that she could see him was more important than anything else.
…
4:50 a.m.
The entire camp was still shrouded in darkness, and all was quiet except for the occasional chirping of unknown insects in the distance.
Su Tang's biological clock promptly woke her from her light sleep.
She sat up quietly, gently put on her training uniform that smelled of soap, and quickly folded the quilt into a perfect, angular "tofu block" in less than three minutes.
She gently pulled back the bed curtains, and the dormitory was filled with the sounds of snoring. Wang Xiaoya was sleeping the most freely, sprawled on the bed with one leg dangling off the edge, making smacking noises as if she were dreaming of something delicious, her drool almost dripping onto the pillow. Liu Landi slept the most properly, like a straight piece of wood, completely still. Chen Xiaocao, the most timid of them all, was curled up in a ball, like a kitten lacking security, with only her furry head showing.
Su Tang didn't turn on the lights; to her, this darkness was no different from daytime. Using the faint light seeping in from the window, she moved silently, like a nimble cat, to the open space in the center of the dormitory and began her warm-up exercises.
Leg presses, chest expansions, high leg raises, wrist and ankle exercises… every movement was silent and minimal, yet precisely stretched every muscle and joint. Her bones emitted soft, audible clicks, as her body, dormant all night, was gradually and efficiently awakened.
She knew that when Qin Ye said they would meet at five o'clock, it definitely wouldn't be exactly five o'clock.
He will definitely arrive early.
This is a standard procedure in the selection process for all special forces: using the most unexpected raids to disrupt everyone's physiological and psychological rhythms, and under extreme chaos and pressure, to select those who can remain vigilant at all times and react quickly and correctly.
This was also his first warning to the soldiers of Battalion No. 3, who had just won a battle and were somewhat complacent.
Sure enough, the clock had just struck 4:55.
"Beep—Beep—Beep—!!!"
