"Hey, have you heard? ZY Base is going to take some psychics away from our base."

"What's going on? Why are they taking people away from our base? Is there no one

in ZY Base?" "What? You don't know? The base is going crazy. It's said that ZY Base is doing some research. That scientific research center needs some psychics to cooperate with the research, and every base needs people."

"Really? What kind of research is it? Will the people who go there be in danger?"

"I don't know who the psychics who are selected to go to ZY Base are? Will everyone have a chance? If so, I would like to try."

...

Discussions like this were widely circulated in H Base.

After Xiangdong sent the ZF people away, he sat in the living room with a serious face.

The monkey came up and said, "Boss, this opportunity is so rare, you must agree!"

Li Xuepeng and others also looked at Xiangdong expectantly.

Xiangdong glanced at a few people but said nothing. Those ZF people just came to him and said that they wanted him to go to the ZY base to cooperate with the research of the scientific research center there. To be honest, he didn't really want to go.

The ZY base is far away from the mountains and rivers. He probably won't be able to come back for more than half a year. Li Xue is here and he doesn't want to go anywhere.

"Boss, please say something!" The monkey scratched his head anxiously. According to reliable sources, the research we went to ZY Base to cooperate with was to develop potential-stimulating potions. If successful, the ability will be greatly increased. Many people with special abilities who have connections are trying their best to get these places.

Xiangdong still said nothing. He knew what Monkey was thinking, but he really didn't want to go. He wanted to stay with Li Xue and protect her. It had only been a few days since Wang Feier's incident. How could he feel at ease to go to ZY Base?

Monkey looked at Xiangdong's expression, and there was something he didn't understand. He couldn't help but think in his heart, Li Xue again, Li Xue again! For Li Xue, the boss has sacrificed too much. Is he going to give up this opportunity because of her?

No, he must prevent this from happening again.

But how could the boss listen to him? He had to find a way to make the boss willingly go to ZY Base!

Oh, old general! Let the old general take action, the boss will definitely listen.

So, Monkey stopped trying to persuade Xiangdong, which made Li Xuepeng and the others very anxious. The boss and Monkey have the deepest relationship. If the boss doesn't listen to Monkey, then their words will be even more useless. This monkey is really something, why doesn't he persuade the boss more?

Just when a few people complained that Monkey was not strong enough, Monkey said to Xiangdong with a sly look on his face: "Boss, the old general wants to see you for something, you should go quickly!"

Xiangdong looked at Monkey steadily, he probably guessed why the old general wanted to see him.

Monkey was stared at by Xiangdong's eyes that saw through everything, and turned his head away uncomfortably.

Since it was the old general who wanted to see him, Xiangdong didn't delay and immediately went to the old general's house in District A.

The old general was sitting in the living room with his legs crossed, listening to an opera. When he saw the guard leading Xiangdong in, he turned off the recorder, sat up, picked up the teacup beside him, and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"General, I haven't come to see you for a long time. How is your health recently?" Xiangdong asked respectfully.

"Very good, I won't die for a while." The old general's voice was like a bell, much more energetic than before.

Xiangdong was relieved to see that the old general was still strong.

"I heard that the base sent you to ZY base, but you don't seem to be willing to go?" The old general went straight to the point and pointed out the purpose of looking for Xiangdong.

Xiangdong paused for a moment, but didn't hide it. He nodded and said, "Yes, general, I don't want to go."

"Why?" The old general frowned.

Xiangdong hesitated for a moment, then said, "ZY base is too far away. It will take at least half a year to go there and back. If I leave, what will happen to the Dawn Team?"

"Huh, don't tell the truth!" the old general shouted, "Xiangdong, Xiangdong, tell me, how come you have become so sentimental?"

Xiangdong said subconsciously, "General, I'm not."

"No? Do you dare to say that you don't want to go to ZY base, not for that girl named Li Xue?" The old general's eyes rolled wide and he started to curse, his voice echoing from far away. "Xiangdong, you are so promising! You are willing to give up everything for a woman! The military was like this back then, and now even your own future is like this. For her, what else can't you give up?"

A look of shame flashed across Xiangdong's face, and he whispered, "General, I'm sorry. Xiangdong has failed your expectations."

"Don't tell me you're sorry! The person you feel sorry for is not me, but yourself!" The old general got angry when he saw Xiangdong's expression. "No one objects that you want to be with that girl surnamed Li, but you can't give up everything because of her. Xiangdong, even if you don't plan for yourself, you have to plan for those brothers who are willing to go through thick and thin with you. Do you plan to keep on doing these petty things?"

Xiangdong felt even more ashamed. To be honest, he really felt sorry for Monkey and the others. They all wanted to follow him and do something big, to turn the Dawn Mercenaries into the most powerful mercenary organization in H Base. However, this wish has not been realized so far. This time, they are probably going to be disappointed again. They all hoped that he could go to ZY Base to cooperate with the research and upgrade his abilities as soon as possible.

In fact, his ability has been upgraded very quickly. Li Xue often gave him some of that magical water and fruit. With these two things, his ability is almost at level six. However, like Li Xue, he has not revealed his ability level to anyone except the monkeys.

The old general turned his head and looked at Xiangdong, then asked a question that made Xiangdong dizzy, "Do you want to return to the army?"

Xiangdong answered without thinking, "Yes! But General, can I go back?" He was expelled from the military, how could he go back?

"If it were in the past, you would never have dreamed of returning to the army. However, things are different now. In order to stabilize the regime of the base, the military across the country has begun to absorb various talents and will grant official military titles to outstanding personnel. In the past, the military also recruited people with special abilities and formed special ability teams, but you also know that those people have no military titles and are not even considered soldiers." The old general patted Xiangdong on the shoulder: "If you want to return to the army, then go to ZY Base, and I will write you a letter of introduction. I have an old comrade in ZY Base, and I will let him help you find a way to resume your military status."
