Chapter 39 I Apply for Discharge

  The team has no chance, Chen Yang's body suddenly turned around, using the momentum of his body, one elbow heavily hit the principal's face. Bang! A dull hum, the principal stumbled and knocked over the table, the guards standing around the house rushed over, amidst the sound of guns being cocked, the dark muzzle pointed at Chen Yang's ferocious face.

  "Don't move! Chen Yang, calm down!" He Qiu's heart rate soared. In this situation, if Chen Yang were to make another move that endangered the officer, these guards would not hesitate to open fire. Even if Chen Yang died, it would be a meaningless death, and he would still have to bear the burden of a great injustice.

  Chen Yang smiled, silently sweeping his gaze across the faces of everyone present. For some reason, no one could meet Chen Yang's eyes. He pointed to Sun Erpao on the ground behind him and said with a smile, "Good, very good." From his body, he pulled out a small package tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, and Chen Yang slowly squatted down, placing the package on the ground. Then he said, "I'm applying for discharge from the army." After speaking, Chen Yang ignored the gun pointed at him, gritted his teeth, and once again hoisted Sun Erpao onto his shoulder.

  A rough push from a soldier pointing his gun at him, Chen Yang struggled to move his feet. The pushed soldier was somewhat bewildered and didn't know how to stop Chen Yang, while the school officers standing behind Chen Yang had complex expressions on their faces. Was Chen Yang wrong? Yes, Chen Yang was wrong, as a soldier, the mission always takes precedence over personal gains and losses. But did Chen Yang really do anything wrong? That act of disregarding everything for his comrades was enough to earn him the respect of everyone present!

  "Stop!" A guard was the first to come back to his senses, and he poked Chen Yang with his gun. Unexpectedly, Chen Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and Hei saw that something was wrong, so he hurried forward, grabbed Chen Yang, and said: "Don't move! Be honest, Sun Erpao is fine." His body just happened to block the guard, and he said on the side: "Everyone, don't move, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding."

  The guard hesitated for a moment.

  Some dizzy and confused senior officers have crawled up, roaring towards Chen Yang. As a commander in the army, military orders are everything to him, and Chen Yang's actions are enough to drive him crazy. He pulled out his pistol and put it on Chen Yang's forehead, roaring: "Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

  Chen Yang's gaze turned even colder, and He Qun's heart had already jumped to his throat. He hastily said: "Chen Yang, I order you to apologize immediately!" While using his body to block the furious General. The General roared: "This has nothing to do with you, He Chun Guang! Get out of my way!" He Qun hastily blocked Chen Yang and the General, saying urgently: "Wang Li Guo! He was just momentarily impulsive, a bit rash..."

  "Rubbish!" The big school's fire became even more intense: "He Chun Guang! Let's not talk about our private friendship now, we're discussing official business, you get out of the way! Is this the kind of soldier you've brought up? They treat military orders as nothing, do they still have any concept of military discipline in their eyes? If war really breaks out, how much damage will soldiers like him cause us? Don't you know? Don't you understand? You've wasted your whole life being a soldier, protecting your own skin, that's all you know...!"

  Hei's gaze gradually changed, and his tone became somewhat harsh: "Wang Ligu! Listen up! This is no longer the old mountain front line of ten or twenty years ago! Don't forget, if it weren't for Old Squad Leader protecting you back then, you would have been dead long ago. Look at this era! These times! He, Chen Yang, is just a big kid in his teens or twenties! What do you want him to do? Be like you? Shot! You only know how to shoot, don't you know the taste of stepping on the bones of the dead to climb up? Pat your conscience, your son, what is your son doing now? Is he about the same age as Chen Yang? Do you have the guts to go home and point a gun at your son's head?"

  The atmosphere on the scene suddenly solidified, and the principal roared: "He Chun Guang! What the hell are you talking about?! Since you chose to join the army, you need absolute obedience!"

  He's forehead bulged with blue veins, and he bellowed back without taking a step: "Soldiers are also human!" For a moment, He and the general's eyes met in mid-air, giving people a sense of explosive illusion. At this time, the lieutenant general who had been watching coldly stood up and shouted: "Attention! Everyone has had enough!"

  Ignoring the stunned school officials and security guards, the lieutenant general walked up to Chen Yang's side, took a closer look at him, and said: "Put him down. If you trust me, let me take a look." Chen Yang stared intently at the lieutenant general in front of him, with a pale face and no beard, his slightly plump body gave off an air of wealth, and his somewhat humble-looking face gave people a trustworthy feeling. Chen Yang gradually relaxed, putting down the heavy Sun Erpao behind him. The lieutenant general examined the unconscious Sun Erpao while talking to Chen Yang: "Is he your good friend?"

  Chen Yang didn't say anything.

  The lieutenant general continued to examine Sun Er Hao's body, and said: "Relax a bit, just treat me like your neighbor's uncle. I want to ask you, what is most important in your eyes? Is it friendship?" Before Chen Yang could answer, the lieutenant general added: "I can understand your feelings, but have you thought about this - if this were real war, doing things your way would compromise military strategy and many people would die, so many that you can't even imagine. Not just your friends, your family members, your compatriots, even yourself might be killed."

  Chen Yang remained silent, staring intently at Sun Erpao on the ground. The lieutenant colonel didn't hear Chen Yang's response and couldn't help but glance at him, smiling: "This kid doesn't know how to speak up. Think carefully, if you had to choose between sending intelligence and saving a comrade, which one would you choose? Would you save your comrade or send the intel to save more people first? And during battle, with such a burden, do you think you could save him? The result would only be putting yourself in harm's way..."

  The lieutenant's words were a bit like pulling the family together, easing the atmosphere greatly. The big school and He team were still staring at each other, but no one spoke up. Indeed, the lieutenant's words were correct. If they really went to the battlefield, with such a small mountain of waste people, even if it was Iron Man, he would probably only be able to sacrifice himself. But who can say that abandoning comrades is okay?

  After a moment, the lieutenant general who had finished checking Sun Erpao's body furrowed his brow, looking very unsightly. Sun Erpao on the ground was convulsing like a large shrimp on a stove, spitting out white foam nonstop. Chen Yang looked at the lieutenant general with some indifference, and seeing his expression, he knew that Sun Erpao's situation was already extremely critical. For a moment, his mind kept turning, and when the lieutenant general saw that Chen Yang didn't respond, he turned his head to look at him: "How is it? Have you thought of an answer?"

  Chen Yang, however, said somewhat incongruously: "How did you get here?"

  The lieutenant was taken aback and then said, "Of course I'm driving."
