Chapter One (12)

  Wu Dafu said he was acting on behalf of Lian Chang.

  Ma Cheng walked over and the cat looked down to see that it was indeed Xiao Hei lying on the stretcher, seemingly asleep.

  "What's wrong with him?"

  Wu Dafu handed a small medicine bottle to Ma Cheng, "This is the tranquilizer prescribed by the medical team for him. I reckon he took too much of it. From the start of the exercise till now, he hasn't woken up."

  "What the hell is this, still taking tranquilizers? If you want to die, can't you choose a better time? Are you intentionally trying to harm our Second Company?" Ma Cheng said, throwing the medicine bottle into the roadside bushes in annoyance.

  "This is what he ate this afternoon, the medicine hasn't worn off yet." Wu Dafu added.

  "Are you going to carry him like this to participate in the exercise?"

  "We don't know either," Wu Dafu stared at Ma Cheng. "Instructor, what do you think we should do?"

  Ma Cheng really wanted to get rid of Xiao Hei, but he couldn't just abandon him. As the nominal second company commander, if he were captured, it would be a shame for the entire second company. That little bastard Xiao Hei had only been with the second company for less than half a day and had already caused trouble, dragging down the third platoon and bringing bad luck to the second company.

  Ma Cheng waved his hand impatiently, "You guys carry him and hurry up to catch up, I'll go find the squad's medic to see if there's a way to wake him up."

  Ma Cheng finished speaking and glared at Xiao Hei on the ground, muttering as he walked away: "What kind of thing is this? Not even better than a cripple."

  Wu Dafu was stunned and stared blankly at Ma Cheng's back.

  "The waste" this word, in the special forces is exclusive to Wu Da Fu. Wu Da Fu was a first-class officer transferred from another unit, a typical rich kid, it's said that his father had so much money that even after several lifetimes he wouldn't be able to spend it all, and specifically used connections to let his son come to the special forces for training. Who would have thought that Wu Da Fu's first time running five kilometers in full gear would result in a score of thirty-nine minutes, creating the record for the slowest run by an individual since the establishment of the Wild Wolf Squad.

  At that time, the squadron leader Wan Ba Tian, who was in charge of assessment and training, pointed at Wu Da Fu on the track and scolded: "The Wild Wolf Squadron doesn't have a waste like you. Thirty-nine minutes, do you know what that means? Even the tortoise of the Wild Wolf Squadron runs faster than you. I'll give you one month's time. If you can't make it, get out of here."

  Wu Dafu was notorious for being scolded by Wan Ba Tian, and some people even gave him the nickname "Wu Canfei". Wu Dafu's wealthy father's company and the regiment were joint venture partners. This billionaire came to the regiment and donated two plastic basketball courts, greatly improving the cultural life of the grassroots soldiers. As a result, Wu Dafu, this bird soldier, ran five kilometers in a month, still not passing, but didn't get kicked out, instead becoming the clerk of the second company.

  Wu Dafu gazed at Ma Cheng's back, indignantly saying: "After all, I'm also going to be a billionaire in the future, you should give me some face..."

  Ma Cheng caught up with the company when they had already successfully passed through Area No. 1. Ma Cheng asked the medic to go back and pick up Xiao Hei. Not long after, the medic returned to report to Ma Cheng: "The entire rear is filled with Blue Army, all roads are blocked, it's impossible to get through, Dai Lianzhang and the others must have been captured."

  The Blue Army's speed was faster than Ma Cheng had imagined. It seemed that the Blue Army had also risked their lives, wanting to capture more prisoners and gain merit, Xiao Hei and others were undoubtedly in a precarious situation.

  It's said that someone was captured, and many people in the second company were somewhat discouraged. They didn't expect that the first one to be captured would actually be Xiao Hei, the deputy company commander who they had previously thought of as a hero and idol. Xiao Hei's performance in the second company for half a day was really far from his reputation.

  Time did not allow the second company to worry too much about Hei's fate, and a row of guards led by He Dajun came over to report the latest enemy situation to Ma Cheng. The Blue Army had blown up the only bridge leading to the No. 2 area, and the troops had to change direction, cross a big mountain, and enter the No. 2 area in a roundabout way.

  Ma Cheng took out the map and found that the nearest route to the second district was to cross a large mountain, which was called Zhao Gong Mountain, with an elevation of 563 meters.

  Before departure, Ma Cheng stood in front of the troops and said: "I want you to remember these few captured people, they are the shame of the second company. Where did the Wild Wolf Brigade come from? It was only after we had our 'Lone Hero Wild Wolf Second Company' that this unit came into being, what is our tradition?"
