Chapter 23: Long Zhongtian Meets Long Xing and Returns to the Team

  "In the end, I don't know how many of you are left, but remember this: you were once members of an independent squad, even if you've been eliminated."

  Long Zhongtian's voice suddenly boomed like thunder. "Yes!" The twenty-five warriors' morale was boosted, and they responded loudly like lions.

  "Load the bullet, look at the mountain peak in front, rush forward at the fastest speed, return within an hour, turn right and depart."

  After the order was given, Long Zhongtian was the first to run out. Although he was a soldier king in his previous life, Long Zhongtian knew that this life he had to start anew. Their training had begun, and so had his own.

  When Long Zhongtian had just started training and ran out of the base, a spy from the Long family walked into the 15th Brigade base. He happened to see Long Zhongtian leading his soldiers in a run and immediately followed them, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with Long Zhongtian's speed. Helpless, he stood at the gate of the base waiting.

  The warriors closely followed Long Zhongtian's footsteps, but no matter how they rushed forward, they were always behind Long Zhongtian. At this moment, the warriors had a different look in their eyes towards the young man in front of them.

  "He may not be a young master after all."

  Time passed bit by bit, and Long Zhongtian was still the same as before, his running speed didn't slow down in the slightest, but the warriors were getting farther and farther away from him.

  。

  The warriors were already panting at this moment, the weight on their bodies getting heavier and heavier, pressing them to the point of being out of breath. But looking at Long Zhongtian's back, this thirteen-year-old officer was still running, gritting his teeth, straightening his body, and running forward.

  Unfortunately, the speed has started to get slower and slower.

  Long Zhongtian was running and calculating the time, there were still 500 meters to reach the top of the mountain, and his target was still 15 minutes away.

  Half a time ran to the mountain peak, half a time back to the barracks, at this moment for the thirteen-year-old him, this load had already exceeded his physical limit.

  But he must persevere and get it done, not just complete the task but do it well. He believes in himself to tap into his physical potential and strive not to slow down.

  Climbing a mountain with no load is one thing, but this group of climbers knew the road well, having run it just three days prior. However, climbing with a heavy load was an entirely different story, and they soon realized that the difficulty level was many times higher than without any load.

  In less than half a time, Long Zhongtian arrived at the mountain peak and turned his head to look at the warriors. At this moment, these warriors could no longer be described as running, but only as walking, step by step climbing up, having only covered two-thirds of the distance.

  Twenty-five warriors, only now fully understood Long Zhongtian's words, what is the real training that starts now, and what is true training.

  If the first three days were called devilish, then what kind of training method would today be described as? What is the standard existence of a soldier in this officer's mind?

  Long Zhongtian bent over at this moment, using his gun to prop up his body. After glancing at the soldiers, he panted heavily and suddenly raised the machine gun in his hand, firing a burst into the sky.

  "Soldiers value speed, a true soldier will tell his general that there is no mission they cannot complete as long as they are still alive."

  After Long Zhongtian shouted, he grabbed his machine gun and rushed down the mountain. At the top of the mountain, in an instant, he saw a person, a figure waiting at the gate of the base, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of Long Xing.

  When Long Zhongtian ran down the mountain, when he met these twenty-five soldiers, his body had already exceeded its limit of endurance, and he involuntarily trembled. Long Zhongtian's trembling hands raised the machine gun.

  Upper bounce...

  Pull the bowstring

  。

  Dada...

  A burst of gunfire.

  "I'll be waiting for you at the base."

  Long Jia An Ding saw Long Zhong Tian running over, immediately went to greet him, and before Long Zhong Tian could speak, Long Jia An Ding was already impatient.

  "Long is seriously injured and is in a warehouse, the master wants you to go there once."

  "What? Seriously injured!"

  Long Zhongtian was taken aback, his trembling body immediately returned to normal. He thought that there wouldn't be many people who could hurt him, and since he had been seriously injured again, he must have encountered big trouble.

  "What's the situation now?"

  "There is no immediate danger to life."

  An Ding replied.

  "So I'm at ease now."

  Long Zhongtian had just lifted his spirits and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

  "Wait a minute, let me finish this thing."

  The dragon looked at the warrior who had already climbed to the top of the mountain and was walking back step by step.

  "Not bad at all, their physical strength is much better than I imagined."

  Long Zhongtian nodded secretly in his heart. Half an hour later, the twenty-five warriors returned to their camp one after another, lined up in a row and stood upright.

  But each warrior's body was trembling, and they were panting heavily.

  The dim nail beside him flashed brightly, and he secretly admired: "It seems that they have received special training. Their bodies are already close to collapse, but they haven't fallen yet. They're indeed excellent."

  When his eyes saw three more female soldiers, an unusual light appeared in his eyes.

  Twenty-five warriors had just gathered when Long Zhongtian came down with an order: "Target, 1 Town, advance in lockstep.

  。”

  Long Zhongtian led twenty-five warriors towards the town.

  "Master, let them go together."

  An Ding stopped Long Zhongtian, thinking that it was unnecessary for him to go to the warehouse.

  "This is all the family property that this young master has now. Can't I just throw it away here? Besides, their captain is still waiting for them."

  Long Zhongtian's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, causing An Ding to involuntarily take a step back and shut his mouth.

  Looking at Long Zhongtian's back, this dark nail had a lingering fear in his heart: 'Is he really thirteen years old? His aura is even more terrifying than Long Xing.'

  Recalling the faint tone of Long Zhongtian's voice in his mind and the aura that appeared at that moment.

  A warehouse, twenty-five warriors stood motionless at the entrance, attracting strange glances from passersby.

  It's not unusual for soldiers to come to this warehouse, but what's strange is that among these twenty-five soldiers, there are two female soldiers who are also very beautiful, which makes passersby feel surprised.

  Long Lin knew of Long Zhong Tian's arrival, and immediately walked out of the inn to greet him: "Hehe, Young Master has arrived, it's truly an honor. Please come in, please come in." "Uncle, you're being too polite."

  Long Zhongtian walked into the warehouse accompanied by Long Lin. As he stepped into the warehouse, Long Zhongtian also found something wrong, but recalling the sign hung outside the warehouse, he immediately understood.

  "Military warehouse supplies, no entry for non-internal personnel."

  "Where is Long Xing."

  Long Zhongtian asked lightly, without a hint of tension in his voice. Long Lin smiled slightly, knowing what Long Zhongtian was most concerned about: "Follow me."

  In a secluded corner of the warehouse, Long Lin opened a hidden door and walked in with Long Zhongtian.

  Under the soft light, Long Zhongtian saw Long Xing, who was lying on a bed and unconscious at this moment: "You didn't protect him well, I need an explanation."

  "Let me finish what I have to say, and then you can ask for an explanation if you want."

  Long Lin saw a hint of displeasure on Long Zhongtian's face and immediately explained.

  。

  "Hmm, anything else? Speak up, you also know that although we're uncle and nephew, we also have an employer-employee relationship."

  "Not bad, even if we put aside our relationship, just for the sake of justice, we won't stand idly by."

  Suddenly, Long Xuan felt that Long Zhongtian was very unfamiliar, and he was a bit uncomfortable with this feeling.

  At this moment, he had a kind of illusion that the person standing in front of him was not his nephew, nor a young man, but an old hand who had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years.

  Long Zhongtian fell silent, waiting for Long Lin to finish speaking.

  After a moment, Long Lin recounted everything that had happened over the past few days, whether he knew it or not, in great detail.

  "I don't know what you've been hiding, but it's clear that you've cultivated a high level of skill that I couldn't possibly match, nor could an ordinary person."

  Dragon scales eyes stared at the silent Dragon Zhongtian, sharp eyesight, as if wanting to see through the person in front of him immediately.

  "Don't look at me with that kind of gaze, you should know that the master led us in and cultivated personally, but the changes in Long Xing over the past three days have left me both shocked and saddened."

  Long Zhongtian spoke as he touched the sniper rifle on his back.

  "Dragon's path, dragon's path, it seems you are destined to be its partner."

  A ruthless killer, a cold-blooded existence, methods that have tormented people, it seems I underestimated you.

  "You didn't bring me here just to tell me these things, did you?"

  Long Zhongtian looked at Long Lin, he felt that something was coming out, and Long Lin wanted to know some things from him.

  "Not bad, you're clever. As the dark leader of the Long family, I have the right to know everything about the Long family. I also saw your value and what kind of existence the team you want to establish is. So, I want to know the purpose of creating this team."

  Long Lin said seriously, his expression very solemn.

  "Do you really want to know? I'll tell you, but can you understand?"

  Long Zhongtian smiled and looked into Long Lin's eyes: 'This uncle is too curious'

  。’

  "Not bad, I want to know, if you don't say, how would I know I don't understand."

  Long Lin suddenly felt like he was talking to a stranger, and looking at his nephew in front of him made him feel very uncomfortable.

  "Alright, I can tell you, it's for resisting Japan." Long Zhongtian suddenly spoke with a tone of hatred.

  "Anti-Japanese, fight against Japanese people?"

  Longtan didn't quite understand it, after establishing this troop, they could resist all of Japan and even if beaten to death he wouldn't believe it.

  "This is impossible, no force can stand up to a whole nation."

  "I've said it before, you won't understand today, but one day you will. Alright, Uncle, let's not get stuck on this issue anymore. I just want to know what the current situation with Long Xing is." Long Zhongtian said.

  "There's no danger to his life, but he was severely injured and hasn't rested for several days, so his physical strength has been severely depleted. He also fainted for a while, but big brother will wake up tomorrow."

  Since he couldn't figure it out himself now, Long Lin also stopped thinking about it. He knew that Long Zhongtian wouldn't tell him in detail either.

  The next morning, Long Xing regained consciousness. In his conscious mind, he first felt pain, then his limbs, and slowly opened his eyes.

  The blurry vision cleared up under the soft light, and the first thing he saw was Long Zhongtian, staring at him with unblinking eyes: "Young Master."

  A warmth spread through his entire body from within.

  "You're awake, we've all been waiting for you, I need you."

  Long Zhongtian's tone was gentle and he tightly grasped Long Xing's hand.

  Outside the warehouse, twenty-five warriors stood still for a night. The order they received was to stay in place and wait for Long Zhongtian to come out. Without a second command, they didn't dare move.

  Because they remembered Long Zhongtian's words, they also remembered the soldiers in Long Zhongtian's mouth.
