Chapter 251 Temporary Residence
Lin Xi stayed temporarily at the Iron Wolf Base.
The medical facilities here are not as complete as those at other bases, but there are still many professional doctors and a variety of basic medicines available.
Illness strikes like a landslide, but Lin Xi has maintained her fitness foundation through years of exercise, so even if she gets cold from traveling, she can recover quickly with the help of medication.
Two days after her fever subsided, Lin Xi prepared to go out for some activities.
As the three of them went out, Li Shuyi from next door joined them.
"I haven't seen so many people in a long time, and I'm too scared to go out, so I'll just wait for you all to come together."
Li Shuyi's impression of this base came entirely from Yang Yicheng and Feng Xue.
One was someone who once held a gun to her head and forced her to do something; the other was someone who sarcastically criticized her for being useless. It's easy to see they didn't have a good impression of the Iron Wolf Base.
The base's accommodation area was almost deserted during the day, except for one place where a commotion could be heard—
Lin Xi passed by the central square when she came in.
The square was practically a large open training ground, with a tall arena at the very center where two people were currently fighting each other.
Whether in the ring or in the training ground, almost everyone was shirtless, engaging in pure hand-to-hand combat, the best place to release their sweat.
To ensure that the training ground has ample space for players to perform, there are strict limits on the number of participants.
A group of people stood on the field, while many more gathered outside to watch.
Suddenly the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, and even the railings on the next floor were crowded with people.
The ring has changed.
When Lin Xi looked up, the first thing that caught her eye was his long legs and abs.
“He has eight pieces…” Li Shuyi said softly, but when she saw the person’s face, she pursed her lips uncomfortably. It was Yang Yicheng.
Lin Xi had heard long ago that Yang Yicheng had no military rank after leaving the organization, but people in the field called him the King of Soldiers.
The appearance of the King of Soldiers brought the atmosphere to a climax. Almost all the people present were young and middle-aged men who had an insatiable desire for strength.
Xiang Xin waved his hand: "So what? Our Brother Lu also has eight pieces."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the arena. Although Lin Xi had seen Yang Yicheng in action before, he mostly used guns. This was the first time she had seen a fight like this, where they fought hand-to-hand without weapons.
After defeating two powerful opponents in a row, the cheers from the sidelines continued, but no one else stepped up to the ring.
Li Shuyi commented, "That's pretty impressive."
Xiang Xin: "Our Brother Lu is even more amazing."
Li Shuyi glanced at Lu Wei, whose skin was pale, but said nothing.
Lin Xi couldn't resist her curiosity and turned to Lu Wei to ask, "Who won the last fight between you two?"
Back when they were still at the Dawn Base, Lu Wei went to meet Yang Yicheng in the middle of the night to pick up Lin Jie's zombie. At that time, Lu Wei and Liang Hui fought, and Lu Wei even had a bruise on his face, but the outcome was unknown.
Lu Wei merely glanced at her without replying.
This reaction made Lin Xi even more curious: "So, if we fight now..."
Lu Wei: "He will break a bone."
Lin Xi: "That's true."
Li Shuyi blinked at the two of them and silently shook her head. Of course, she thought Lin Xi and Lu Wei were exaggerating.
She had already labeled these people as unreliable in her mind, and after witnessing Yang Yicheng's performance firsthand, she felt even less confident that Lu Wei would win.
Lu Wei was pale, and his shirt gave him a somewhat refined look, while Yang Yicheng had normal yellowish-brown skin and was shirtless with sweat on his upper body. By all accounts, Lu Wei was stronger.
Lin Xi didn't know what Li Shuyi was thinking, but at that moment she was focusing on the same issue as Li Shuyi—skin color.
People who live in the base for a long time will have very fair skin like her. People like Yang Yicheng who often fight in the field will not be pale, but their skin color will not be close to wheat color either.
As I pondered this, the air suddenly fell silent, and a girl appeared on the field.
Unlike the shirtless man next to her, she was dressed in a striking dark red sports vest, the outline of her six-pack abs faintly visible through her abs.
It was Feng Xue. As she walked, she tied her shoulder-length hair into a high ponytail. "I'll try again."
She said "again," which means she had fought before.
"Oh!!!" Another cheer erupted from the audience, no less enthusiastic than the applause for Yang Yicheng earlier.
Lin Xi could tell that those voices were not just jeering, and the way they looked at Feng Xue was not just excitement at seeing a member of the opposite sex, but rather a sense of recognition of power.
Feng Xue must be an extremely capable person.
Indeed, those who are recruited into the Iron Wolf Base and frequently undertake field missions are, regardless of gender, among the best in terms of combat ability.
Yang Yicheng leaned against the soft railing, his gaze sweeping over Lu Wei and Lin Xi in the crowd, before walking off the stage. As he passed Feng Xue, he said casually, "Next time."
He left the training pool, grabbed a shirt and put it on, then walked up to Lu Wei and Lin Xi. "I was just about to look for you two."
Lu Wei and Lin Xi nodded in agreement; it was time to get down to business.
Yang Yicheng drew everyone's attention here. Just now, everyone's attention was on the arena, and most people had only just noticed Lin Xi and the others.
The gazes, some curious, some fixed, were somewhat unsettling. Three new female faces stood out starkly among the men.
