Chapter 59 Blessing

"Oh my, let me tell you, I really thought Jiang Xianchuan was so handsome when he killed that giant zombie last time! That scene, wow, he was totally a husband-level character!" A pretty woman said with a naive look on her face, her hands unconsciously clasped together in front of her chest.

The other woman beside him nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that's what I thought too! His movements were so neat and swift, and he got rid of the terrifying monster in one go. It was amazing!"

The two chatted more and more excitedly, and one of them suddenly speculated excitedly: "Hey, do you think Jiang Xianchuan will become the leader of our camp in the future? I feel that he always smiles when he sees everyone, and he is very easy to get along with."

At this moment, Gu Huaishan happened to pass by them and heard this conversation. In fact, this was not the first time he heard someone talk about Jiang Xianchuan like this. Ever since Jiang Xianchuan killed the terrifying giant zombie alone, similar voices praising him have been heard everywhere.

Although Gu Huaishan appeared calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied deep down in his heart. Fortunately, Jiang Xianchuan himself didn't seem to have any intention of competing for the position of leader, so Gu Huaishan pretended that he heard nothing and silently hid this emotion in his heart.

At the same time, Qi Xiaoyao on the other side asked Zheng Jun seriously: "Zheng Jun, how are those new recruits I asked you to train now?"

Zheng Jun patted his chest and answered confidently: "Boss Qi, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem! I guarantee that they can get started on the work as soon as possible." It turned out that Zheng Jun had been working under Shi Yi before. He was quick, diligent and down-to-earth. With Shi Yi's recommendation, he was directly entrusted with the important task this time, and was responsible for training the new members joining the camp.

When Qi Xiaoyao left, the honest and flattering expression on Zheng Jun's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by disdain and arrogance.

He cast his gaze towards the newcomers, revealing an arrogant look in his eyes, and then said in an imperative tone: "From today on, all of you must obey my orders! You must do whatever I tell you to do, and you are not allowed to have the slightest resistance or questioning. Do you understand?"

The newcomers felt speechless as they looked at the man in front of them, whose attitude changed as quickly as in Sichuan opera. After all, they had just stepped into this unfamiliar environment, and faced with such a powerful figure like Zheng Jun, they could only nod and agree helplessly.

Ever since Zheng Jun became the team leader responsible for training new recruits, the desire deep in his heart seems to have been completely ignited. The originally honest and decent him has gradually changed, and the taste of power has made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

Today, he is no longer satisfied with just doing his job well, but enjoys the pleasure of using his authority to suppress others.

In his view, everyone else should obey his orders, be submissive, and serve him willingly. Even those who once took good care of him would sometimes be treated rudely by him.

However, whenever facing someone of higher status than himself, such as Qi Xiaoyao, Zheng Jun would immediately change his face.

He will become respectful and fawning, trying his best to please the other party, for fear of making the other party unhappy by any carelessness. This kind of opportunistic and cowardly behavior makes his colleagues around him more and more disgusted and disgusted with him.

"Ah..." Gu Huaishan sighed, as if in a sleepwalking state, and unknowingly walked to the place where Zheng Jun was training new recruits. Zheng Jun was sharp-eyed and saw the battalion commander at the first time. He hurried forward with a smile on his face: "Hey, Battalion Commander Gu! Why did you come here at such a great time? Do you have any important instructions?"

Gu Huaishan looked up at Zheng Jun, feeling puzzled. He knew the man in front of him. He was the one brought back by the patrol team before. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Oh, I've been having some troubles lately that are making my head almost explode." Gu Huaishan said with a bitter face.

When Zheng Jun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Captain, if you trust me, why don't you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help you with some advice and solve your problems!"

However, Gu Huaishan just shook his head lightly and said nothing. Seeing this, Zheng Jun rolled his eyes and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Is it because someone in the camp wants to promote Jiang Xianchuan to be the battalion commander? Don't worry, battalion commander, I promise I can find a way to prevent him from causing any big trouble!" After saying that, he stared closely at the change in Gu Huaishan's expression.

Gu Huaishan remained silent, but his expression was obviously relaxed. Zheng Jun knew what was going on and thought he had guessed it right. So he continued, "Captain, even though that guy always looks like he doesn't care about the position of battalion commander, who knows if he really has this in mind?"

These words were like a thorn that pierced Gu Huaishan's heart. He was still hesitant at first, but now he couldn't help but ask, "What can you do?"

Zheng Jun approached Gu Huaishan's ear mysteriously and muttered something in a low voice. Gu Huaishan was slightly stunned at first, and then a brilliant smile appeared on his face. His laughter was hearty and loud: "Hahahaha, not bad! Then I'll leave this matter to you. If you can do a good job, the position of deputy battalion commander will belong to you!"

Hearing this, Zheng Jun's face flushed with excitement, his chest puffed out, and he responded loudly: "Okay! Battalion Commander, don't worry! I guarantee that the mission will be accomplished!"

On the other hand, Jiang Xianchuan has been feeling very confused recently. He doesn't know why, but as soon as he leaves the house, a group of girls will stare at him intently, as if they can see through him.

Not only that, some bold girls would come up to him and ask confusing questions like whether he has a girlfriend.

What made him even more embarrassed was that whenever he had intimate physical contact with his good friend Li Lingyu, he would always hear suppressed little screams from girls around him.

"What is going on?" Jiang Xianchuan really couldn't figure it out, and in desperation, he had to ask his good friend Shi for help.

When Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu appeared in front of Shi Yi, Shi Yi couldn't help but look them up and down. Seeing that the two were wearing clothes of very similar styles and colors, Shi Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, but said, "Oh, I'm not sure." After saying that, Shi Yi also winked at Jiang Xianchuan, and that expression seemed to hide some secrets.

Just when he was about to turn around, a girl with neat short hair rushed over and patted his shoulder hard, shouting anxiously, "Captain Jiang!"

Jiang Xianchuan was startled by this sudden action, but after seeing who it was, he smiled, because this short-haired girl was one of the team members he was responsible for training. He frowned slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions or don't understand anything about today's training?"

However, the short-haired girl quickly waved her hands and shook her head, and replied very quickly: "No, no, Captain Jiang, I don't have any questions about training. Actually...actually I have something to give to you and Captain Li." As she said that, she carefully handed a beautifully packaged box in her hand to Jiang Xianchuan.

Jiang Xianchuan took the box and looked at it curiously. The box was wrapped with colorful ribbons and decorated with a few small and exquisite flowers. It looked very beautiful. At this time, the short-haired girl said shyly: "What's in it is something I made by myself. Please don't reject it, Captain Li. I have been paying attention to you two sincerely. No matter how the outside world evaluates you, I will unwaveringly support you!" Before she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away quickly, as if she was afraid of hearing something else.

Looking at her receding back, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help feeling puzzled and muttered to himself, "What does this mean?" With full of doubts, he gently opened the mysterious box.

When the box lid was opened, a painting came into view - on the picture, he and Li Lingyu were standing side by side. The brushstrokes were delicate and vivid, as if they fully displayed the tacit understanding and friendship between the two.

"This painting is really beautiful! Isn't it, Yubao?" Li Lingyu turned his head and looked at the painting with admiration in his eyes, then nodded slightly and replied: "Yeah, it is indeed very beautiful."

However, at this moment, his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the girl who had just painted. Thinking of the vivid pictures she painted, and looking at Jiang Xianchuan's confused and ignorant look in front of him, he couldn't help but find it funny, and muttered to himself: This guy didn't even realize that others mistook him for a couple. His reaction is too slow.

At this moment, the people who were originally quiet around began to whisper to each other. Although the voices were small, one could still vaguely hear what they were talking about.

After Li Lingyu noticed this keenly, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He glanced at Jiang Xianchuan secretly with the corner of his eye, only to see that the other party was still confused and obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet. So, an imperceptible smile crept up the corner of Li Lingyu's mouth.

Just at this moment, someone walked up quickly, stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Xianchuan on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Captain Jiang, look at how close you and Captain Li are, I know that your relationship is really extraordinary!" Jiang Xianchuan felt more and more puzzled after hearing this, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "Oh, don't talk nonsense, we are just friends." But his words did not convince everyone. The team members looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then turned around and left one after another.

Seeing this scene, Li Lingyu's eyes turned and he suddenly came up with an idea. He wanted to take this opportunity to play a trick on Jiang Xianchuan.

He walked to Jiang Xianchuan's side in a swaggering manner, then deliberately moved his body closer to him, put his mouth close to Jiang Xianchuan's ear and whispered teasingly: "Chuanchuan, look, everyone seems to be very optimistic about the two of us."

After hearing what Li Lingyu said, Jiang Xianchuan frowned and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" His eyes, as bright as stars, flashed with doubt and confusion, as if he wanted to see through the other person's true thoughts through his smile.

Li Lingyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Nothing." However, his seemingly relaxed smile seemed a little mysterious and unpredictable.

Jiang Xianchuan stared at Li Lingyu closely, his eyes so sharp that it seemed he could see through the other person's mind. For some reason, from the beginning, he always felt that this guy had evil intentions and must be plotting something unspeakable in secret.

At this moment, Li Lingyu reached out his hand without warning and gently placed it on Jiang Xianchuan's shoulder. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said softly: "Chuanchuan, I think we should just follow the girl's wishes just now?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously, "How?" However, Li Lingyu seemed to be deliberately keeping people in suspense and replied with a smile, "Of course... Forget it, now is not the time to talk about it."

This made Jiang Xianchuan very anxious, and he hurriedly urged: "Hey! Why don't you tell me quickly!" But Li Lingyu remained unmoved and continued to shake his head in a mysterious manner.

The two of them started arguing with each other, sometimes pushing each other, sometimes joking with each other, and the whole way was filled with laughter and they walked back in a noisy manner.
