Chapter 001: No Enemies Would Meet By Chance

  The scorching sun was like a fire, baking the Zhan River. Under the cloudless sky of thousands of miles, several silver eagles whizzed by, leaving only a rumble for Sun Qifan.

  It is now 1:30 pm, and there are still thirty minutes before the report, but not a single taxi has appeared outside Zhanjiang Railway Station.

  Sun Qifan raised his hand to shield his forehead and gazed up at the pale sun in the sky.

  "Damn it! This place is so crappy, and they still make us come here to die!" Complaining, he glanced up and saw a taxi slowly approaching, Sun Qifan quickly raised his hand to hail it over.

  He threw his luggage into the trunk and opened the car door but before he could get in, Sun Qifan felt a black shadow flash by...

  "Hey! Who are you? Don't you know this is my taxi?" Sun Qifan didn't swallow his pride just because the person who snatched his cab was a girl. Instead, he reached out and grabbed her hand, trying to pull her down from the seat.

  The girl, however, lifted her foot and kicked it straight at Sun Qifan's lower body. Fortunately, Sun Qifan was quick-witted and swiftly dodged to the side, narrowly escaping disaster.

  Sun Qifan let out a bitter laugh, his heart racing with the thought that he was doomed to have bad luck from the moment he graduated. First, his evil uncle had altered his graduation assignment wish, changing it from Shensheng Bay to this small town of Zhanjiang where only one train passed through. Now, due to the train delay, the registration time was looming ahead, and after finally hailing a taxi, it was snatched away by a woman!

  What's even more infuriating is that the girl directly used her luggage to occupy a seat!

  How could Sun Qifan feel so unlucky?

  He glanced at the time displayed on his wristwatch and was startled to find that there were only twenty minutes left before roll call, so Sun Qifan didn't bother with the car anymore and got on directly.

  Jiang Yuruo thought he had managed to grab a car and arrive on time, thinking that as a man, the other person would be gentlemanly and let him go first. But unexpectedly, he encountered someone who was very petty!

  Anyway can't be late on the first day!

  "Master! The South Sea Fleet!" Before Sun Qifan could even open his mouth, Jiang Yurou had already stated her destination and glanced at Sun Qifan sideways.

  Sun Qifan couldn't help but smile when he heard his destination.

  After listening to the girl's words, the driver asked Sun Qifan again, "What about you?"

  "Let's send her off first, I must have quality!" As he spoke, Sun Qifan smiled at Jiang Yuru through the rearview mirror.

  Looking at Sun Qifan's complacent appearance, Jiang Yurou slightly raised her hand to smooth out her bangs and turned her head to look out the car window.

  Zhanjiang, South Sea Fleet. One is a Southwest University graduate who was forced to come here as a national defense student, another is a Tsinghua University graduate who volunteered to come here as a national defense student, and many others came from all over the country like Sun Qifan and Jiang Yurong.

  It's just for the selection and training of the country's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier pilots!

  Outside the car window, fighter jets whizzed by under the azure sky. The air was filled with a hint of sea flavor. Before my eyes was an endless expanse of emerald sea, and in the distance, I could hear the melodious calls of seagulls accompanied by the busy horns of ships.

  After passing an intersection and walking more than 200 meters forward, the gate of the Southern Sea Fleet Flying Shark Trainee Base stood before Sun Qifan.

  Jiang Yurou was taking out the money when Sun Qifan got off the car, took his luggage from the trunk and stood outside the base gate, looking at the world inside.

  In front of a five-story building, there is a concrete square without tiles. In the center of the square, two flags are flying in the wind. On the right side is the national flag and on the left side is the military flag.

  On both sides of the base gate were two armed soldiers, standing guard with stern expressions and sharp eyes at the first entrance to this world.

  Jiang Yurou saw a young man standing in front of her, still holding the luggage, and suddenly felt an inexplicable anger. She walked up to him and asked Sun Qifan directly: "Are you also coming here?"

  Sun Qifan smiled and replied lightly: "You're right!" Then, he took out his military ID and walked towards the gate guard.

  Jiang Yurou only reacted now, wondering why this petty man suddenly became a gentleman after she mentioned her destination. She didn't expect that he was thinking of taking advantage of her. Thinking about it, Jiang Yurou got so angry that her small hands clenched into fists with a cracking sound, and she wished to flay and torture this low-quality petty ghost on the spot!

  Turning back, Sun Qifan saw the girl staring at him angrily, but he was secretly delighted. As he put away his military ID, he asked, "What? You're not going in?"

  "Mind your own business!" she retorted, then gave Sun Qifan a cold glance and dragged her luggage to the gate.

  She reached into her pocket and found it was empty. Jiang Yuru was stunned. She quickly opened her luggage and rummaged through it, but still couldn't find the military ID.

  Sun Qifan saw this and couldn't help but feel anxious, rushing forward to ask: "What's wrong?! Did you... drop your military ID?!"

  "Shut up!"

  "Hmm, you're quite bold. Or should I say, can I suspect that you're a spy who casually found a fake ID manufacturing company to forge an officer's certificate, but didn't expect it to fall out?" Sun Qifan couldn't help but smile smugly as he carried his luggage inside.

  Jiang Yuruo was frantically searching for her military ID, rummaging through her clothes pockets and luggage like an ant on a hot pot.

  After searching for a long time, Jiang Yurou still couldn't find her military ID. She involuntarily stopped and stood in place, her small hands clenched into fists, tears suddenly falling from the corners of her eyes.

  Jiang Yurou silently sobbed for a little while before turning her head to look inside the base.

  It wasn't until they finally arrived here that something unpredictable happened at this critical moment, a sense of grievance and disobedience arose in Jiang Yurong's heart.

  At this time, no one can comfort their own sorrow.

  Turning back, Jiang Yurou glanced at the gate guard, "Uh... I dropped my military ID, can you let me in to report first?"

  "Sorry, without an officer's ID or soldier's ID, you have no right to enter this place." As he spoke, the guard raised his hand in a gesture of prohibition.

  Looking at the gatekeeper's expressionless face, Jiang Yurou could only take a deep breath and glance again at the training base in front of her before pulling up her luggage to leave.

  "Hey!"

  The voice behind her made Jiang Yurou stop and turn around, it was that narrow-minded and unrefined man again.

  "Next time, don't drop your officer's badge in such a hurry that you don't even know it's gone. Luckily I picked it up, otherwise..." Sun Qifan said with a light hum, handing the officer's badge to the gate guard.

  The guard took a closer look, then looked at Jiang Yuruo again. The person and the documents matched, so he returned the military ID card and saluted Jiang Yuruo with a military salute before opening the door.

  Seeing Jiang Yurou still in a daze, Sun Qifan had to remind her: "Roll call is about to start, if you're late and become the first person to be eliminated, I'll be delighted to gloat."

  At this moment, Jiang Yuru looked at Sun Qifan again, and suddenly had a warm feeling in her heart. This feeling made Jiang Yuru feel a little ridiculous. However, being late for roll call would indeed result in elimination, so Jiang Yuru immediately transformed from a pitiful little girl back to her usual tomboy self, snatching the military ID card from Sun Qifan's hand and stepping on his heel at the same time.

  A sharp pain shot up from his foot and struck Sun Qifan's brainstem.

  Jiang Yurou smiled slightly and leaned in close to Sun Qifan's ear, saying: "In the future, if you take advantage of me again, I'll make sure you die with a good rhythm!" As she spoke, Jiang Yurou twisted her foot on top of Sun Qifan's once more.

  As soon as Jiang Yurou's foot left, Sun Qifan quickly lifted his foot and rubbed it with his hand in pain, thinking that he would be better off staying away from this girl in the future, after all, life only happens once.

  Limping and hobbling, he walked into the grand hall of the academy building. At this moment, it was just an instant before roll call, all students including Jiang Yurou had already lined up, with only Sun Qifan missing.

  Sun Fan couldn't help but glare at Sun Qifan when he saw how disheveled he looked.

  Watching his uncle being so displeased with himself, Sun Qifan also let out a light hum, but still put down his luggage and said: "Reporting for duty, Southwest University 2016 psychology graduate and national defense student Sun Qifan has arrived!"

  Zhuo Yi, who was standing on Sun Fan's left side, smiled after hearing this and walked down from the high platform to come before Sun Qifan.

  "Sun Qifan?"

  "Arrived!"

  "Not bad!" said Zhuo Yi, glancing at the time, "Not a minute early or late, strictly according to plan, perfectly completed the task!"

  Sun Qifan wasn't a fool, especially since he studied psychology and knew that Zhuo Yi's words were sarcastic, but he could only be a mute eating bitter melon, and replied: "Thank you, instructor."

  "You're welcome. For your excellent performance, I'll take good care of you in the future." With that, Zhuo Yi gave a cold smile and turned back to stand behind Sun Fan.

  Sun Fan looked at Zhuo Yi and said without looking at Sun Qifan: "Enlist!"

  "Yes!" answered the voice, Sun Qifan limped into the ranks and stood beside Jiang Yurou.

  Looking at the 25 students already in place before him, Sun Buran said nothing, not even a word of welcome, he just raised his hand and snapped his fingers once, the entire hall suddenly went dark, pitch black.

  The sudden darkness made all the students feel uneasy.

  "Quiet!" In the darkness, Sun Fu's shout was what made the atmosphere quiet down once again.

  Everyone was unaware of what would happen next, the quiet atmosphere, the dark environment, like a world after death, suffocating.

  Slowly, a bright spot appeared in the hall, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

  That was the roar of a fighter jet, the sound growing louder and the bright spot also getting bigger. When the bright spot grew large enough to be discernible with the naked eye, everyone discovered it was a missile!

  It was at that moment when the fighter jet whizzed over their heads, a missile exploded among all the students, followed by a hail of bullets sweeping across all the students.

  "Save me! My arm is gone!" In the darkness, a sudden voice rang out, causing everyone to look in the direction of the sound. On the ground, a soldier was rolling around with a gruesome face, his right arm severed by shrapnel from a missile, leaving it a bloody mess.
