The two parted the vines at the entrance of the cave, and Su Tian took out a flashlight from her spatial storage and carefully walked inside.
Has someone been here before?
"Yes, that's true."
They walked for a short while before arriving inside the cave, where a table was placed in a spacious hall of several square meters.
On the table were some telescopes, eavesdropping devices, and other tools, all covered in dust.
"It seems these things have been sitting here for a long time; the table is even moldy."
Following Su Tian's words, Song Zhe said, "It has been a long time, quite some time now."
They were probably trying to gather intelligence on our troops' deployment, equipment movements, and training status.
"What about all these people? All the equipment is left here, but they've disappeared."
"It's possible it's dead. There are plenty of wild boars in these deep mountains, otherwise it wouldn't have dug a pit near this cave."
"It's better if he's dead. Let's look around and see if we can find any clues."
After Su Tian finished speaking, she opened the drawer and found a notebook inside.
She opened the notebook; the pages were a little yellowed, but the writing, though somewhat blurry, was still legible.
"Ah Zhe, is that a map of your camp?"
Song Zhe leaned over and took a look. "Yes, it's brief, but it's not very useful. They can't find out what's inside."
Su Tian handed him the notebook and continued to search carefully inside the cave.
"I haven't found anything else. Is there anything else I found in the notebook?"
"No, they should have been at this cave entrance for only a few days before they disappeared."
This notebook only contains two or three chapters of useless information. Let's go out first.
"Okay, let's bring the binoculars and listening devices too."
The two men left the cave with the tools, and soon they heard a rustling sound coming from the grass.
"Could it be a wild boar? Are there so many wild boars around here?"
“Yes, sometimes when these wild boars rush down the mountain, we catch one or two.”
"Then why don't you organize people to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars?"
"The higher-ups won't allow it. We're here to protect our country, not to hunt wild boars."
Moreover, villagers near the military base rarely venture up this mountain. It's deep in the forest, steep and high, and one wrong step could send you tumbling down the cliff.
"Hey, Ah Zhe, wild boars are here! Two big wild boars! Let's each take one down and bring them back for your extra meal."
"Haha... okay."
The two gripped their tools tightly, preparing to deal with the wild boar that was about to charge.
The wild boar was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Su Tian and Song Zhe.
Song Zhe seized the opportunity and smashed the wild boar's head several times with an iron rod. The wild boar was in pain and became even more enraged.
Su Tian nimbly dodged the wild boar's charge, then slashed it several times with her large machete, and the wild boar fell to the ground.
Su Tian quickly came over to help, and the two of them worked together to finally subdue the wild boar.
"Susu, let's drag the wild boar down the mountain."
"good."
So each of them dragged a wild boar, and soon they reached the foot of the mountain.
"Put away your knife and iron rod, and stand here without moving."
I carried this wild boar to the camp gate, then came back to carry the other one.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Song Zhe was afraid that Su Tian would attract the attention of those above her. In this era, being too capable was not necessarily a good thing; one might even become a victim of their power struggles.
He only wanted to protect Su Tian as much as possible, do every task well, and climb to a higher position so that he could protect the person he loved.
Let's go.
Song Zhe once again carried the wild boar, with Su Tian following along. The two arrived at the camp gate again.
There was a handcart in the camp. He put the wild boar on the handcart and pulled them toward the mess hall.
As they passed the training ground, the soldiers' eyes lit up.
"Look, what are the Great Demon King and his girlfriend holding hands with?"
"I have good eyesight, let me see... Oh my, is it a wild boar? A big wild boar?"
"Hey, training's started, what's all the noise about?"
"Squad leader, we want to go check out the wild boars. We can practice later. Besides, we've been practicing for so long, it's time to rest."
After thinking for a while, Squad Leader Wang agreed, since he also wanted to go see it.
As soon as he nodded, the soldiers rushed over and surrounded Song Zhe and Su Tian.
"Hello, Battalion Commander! Hello, Sister-in-law!" the soldiers greeted Song Zhe and Su Tian in unison.
"Hey, hello there." Su Tian wasn't embarrassed at all when she heard them call her sister-in-law; she greeted them with a generous smile.
"Wow, this wild boar is really strong!" A young soldier couldn't help but reach out and touch the wild boar's fur, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Hey, Battalion Commander, look at these tusks, they're really sharp!" another soldier exclaimed, pointing at the wild boar's tusks.
Squad Leader Wang walked over and asked happily, "Battalion Commander, is this wild boar being sent to the mess hall? Can we eat it today?"
"Yeah, I ran into it while shopping with your sister-in-law, so I just grabbed it and bought it for you guys as an extra treat."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers cheered, "Great! We get to eat wild boar meat!"
"You guys take the wild boar to the canteen, your sister-in-law and I will go back to the dormitory first."
"Alright." The soldiers helped pull the wild boar back towards the mess hall.
Along the way, they chattered excitedly about how to cook wild boar meat.
Some said they wanted it braised, some said they wanted it stewed in soup, and others said they wanted it roasted. Laughter echoed throughout the training ground.
"Susu, let's go back to the dormitory first. We'll leave the wild boar to them."
"Good, you soldiers are so cute and lively."
Am I cute?
Seeing that Song Zhe wanted to be praised, Su Tian decided to tease him.
"I think I heard them calling you the Great Demon King. You're not cute at all."
"They're just talking nonsense. Am I being mean?"
"You're not fierce, you're very gentle and considerate, that's exactly what I like about you," Su Tian coaxed with a smile.
They walked down to the dormitory building, washed their hands, and went upstairs.
When they got back to the dormitory entrance, Song Zhe opened the door, pulled Su Tian inside, and closed the door behind him.
He pinned Su Tian against the door and pecked her with his lips. "Am I fierce?"
"fierce."
"Where have I been mean to you? I've never yelled at you, Su Su, don't scare me."
Su Tian pinched Song Zhe's chin and teased, "You were too fierce the first time."
At this point, Song Zhe couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at Su Tian with affection and said, "I saw that you were enjoying it very much. I controlled the intensity very well."
Moreover, I did ask you, and you were the one who told me to use more force and speed up, and I did as you said.
Su Su, you're being unreasonable and wronging me. Were you just trying to fool me back then? Did you like weaklings?
Su Tian blushed and desperately covered her eyes.
"It's been quite a few days, how do you still remember?"
