Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 149 Farewell at the Station
Fortunately, the three reacted quickly and were fast enough that they soon spotted the high school team leader in the Wolf Fang parking lot, who had just opened the car door and were about to get in.

"High school team, wait a minute."

Seeing that Gao Zhong had already stuck one foot into the car, Chang Ning panicked and quickly called out to him.

Hearing someone call his name, Gao Zhong pulled his leg back, stood beside the car, and turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Upon seeing that the visitors were Chang Ning and his two companions, he immediately realized why they had come to find him.

Today, Lao Miao is being demobilized, and three special forces soldiers from my Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company came to find me, clearly intending for me to take them with me to Lao Miao.

"A clever kid!"

Upon seeing the three, the high school team almost instantly grasped the cause and effect of the matter, and inwardly gave Chang Ning a thumbs up for her composure.

Given Xiao Zhuang's personality, once he learns that the company commander he respects is about to leave the army, he definitely won't think to report it. He will definitely try to leave the garrison as quickly as possible and do whatever it takes to see Lao Miao as soon as possible.

For this purpose, he certainly wouldn't submit a report; instead, he would choose to climb over the wall and quickly meet with Lao Miao.

Lao Pao is calm and composed, but his ability to handle emergencies is not outstanding; in other words, his adaptability is inferior to Chang Ning's.

Two of the three are already "incapacitated," making it easy for the high school team to pinpoint the "culprit" behind this incident.

"I guess you're looking for me because of Lao Miao, right?"

After the three of them had caught their breath, they spoke.

Seeing the three people's astonished expressions, he didn't give Chang Ning and the others a chance to speak and continued, "But I can't take you with me to find Lao Miao."

After saying that, he reopened the car door and got in.

"Wait a moment!"

When Xiao Zhuang can't control his emotions, his actions always outpace his thoughts.

Seeing Xiao Zhuang holding onto the car door to stop himself, Captain Gao's face visibly darkened.

He didn't have time to waste here with the three of them; Lao Miao's train wouldn't wait.

"Let go! Do you know what your actions mean, Private!"

The high school team leader scolded.

"Team leader, you have to tell us the reason."

Chang Ning and Lao Pao walked up to Xiao Zhuang and asked him to open the car door first. While talking to Gao Zhong, they opened the car door again.

"Old Miao won't let you go see him off."

Seeing that the three of them were determined not to let him leave until he explained himself, Gao Du, who was in a hurry, decided to explain the situation.

If it were just Chang Ning and Lao Pao here today, Gao Zhong wouldn't have explained so much. Chang Ning and Lao Pao are much calmer than Xiao Zhuang.

After hearing the reasons given to them by the high school team, Xiao Zhuang looked incredulous; he couldn't believe that Miao Lian had said those words.

Xiao Zhuang is a very self-centered person. When he is emotionally agitated, he rarely listens to advice and often uses his own imagination to numb himself.

Just like now, he insists that Old Gao the Doghead pretended to use Miao Lian's words to deceive them in order to stop the three of them from sending Miao Lian away.

"Team Leader Gao, the three of us are Miao Lian's ideal of the special forces, and Xiao Zhuang is also a soldier that Miao Lian has high hopes for."

They had a deep bond, and if Xiao Zhuang wasn't allowed to see off his beloved company commander at this time, not to mention what outrageous things he might do, this would become a regret in his heart later.

Moreover, Miao Lian probably won't blame you for bringing the three of us along, since we were all soldiers trained by Miao Lian, and he understands our personalities.

He'll understand you when he sees Xiao Zhuang.

In an attempt to persuade the high school team, Chang Ning made a small joke about Xiao Zhuang at the end.

With the stubborn Xiao Zhuang staring at him from the front, Chang Ning trying to persuade him with reason and emotion from the back, and Zheng Sanpao, who was there as a "substitute," also eager to make a move.

Gao Zhong felt that, given the current situation, if he didn't agree to the request from these three people, Xiao Zhuang, that hothead, wouldn't let him leave so easily.

This kid has no concept of hierarchy at all; he's full of youthful impulsiveness.

It's not that he's deliberately putting others down; compared to Chang Ning, Xiao Zhuang is far inferior to Chang Ning in both military skills and interpersonal skills.

Sometimes the difference between people is just that great.

After glancing at the time, the high school team leader agreed to the three's request and took them all up to deliver the package to Lao Miao.

However, even if the three of them get on the bus, it doesn't mean the matter will simply be swept under the rug.

The high school captain driving the car still had a cold face. He was also losing face because his own soldiers had treated him like this.

Knowing they were in the wrong, Chang Ning and his two companions obediently squeezed into the back seat, none of them willing to sit in the front passenger seat and face the angry Gao team leader alone.

The atmosphere in the car began to become oppressive, and no one sitting in the car felt comfortable. Fortunately, Gao Zhong was able to control his emotions and keep the car speed within a relatively acceptable range.

Otherwise, this would probably be a scene from "Fast and Furious," with the narration saying "See you again."

Fortunately, the train station was far from the city center, which shortened the journey, and the four of them arrived at their destination quickly.

Upon arriving at the platform, they saw a middle-aged man of medium build, wearing an unmarked military uniform, carrying a bag and sitting upright as if waiting for someone.

Decades of military service have imbued Miao Lian's body with an indelible military aura.

"Seedling……"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Xiao Zhuang couldn't contain his excitement and was about to shout.

Chang Ning reacted quickly, covering Xiao Zhuang's mouth and, together with Lao Pao, dragging him to a corner.

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Zhuang glared angrily at the two people who had organized him.

"What's the rush? Captain Gao and Captain Miao have been comrades-in-arms for decades. Let them meet first."

The old man's eyes were even bigger than Xiao Zhuang's, and since he was Xiao Zhuang's old squad leader, he was naturally at a disadvantage in terms of presence.

"Xiao Zhuang, now that we're here, Miao Lian will definitely see us."

Chang Ning also tried to persuade them.

"Okay, okay, just let me go."

Although Xiao Zhuang is easily swayed by his emotions, he has one advantage: he listens to advice, especially from people he is close to.

The three people hiding in the corner had no idea that Miao Lian had already discovered them, and were now complaining to the high school team leader.

"Why did you bring them here? Didn't I tell you before not to let them come?"

Mentioning this incident immediately made Gao Zhongdui unhappy, after all, being blocked from leaving by his own soldiers was not something to be ashamed of.

"Ugh, don't even mention it, they caught me red-handed..."

Then, Gao Zhongdui told Miao Lian the details of what had happened with a wry smile.

After listening carefully, Miao Lian was bound to make a joke about the high school team.

"Hahaha, there are soldiers you, Lao Gao, can't handle? How are the soldiers I sent? Not bad, right!"

"Putting everything else aside, Lao Miao, you're a master at training soldiers, and they're all promising talents."

With their separation imminent, Gao Zhong had no interest in arguing with his old comrade. Putting aside the various shortcomings of the three new recruits, Gao Zhong did not deny their talent.

"That's right, this is a skill I honed in the army!"

Miao Lian said smugly that being able to get the "Number One Warrior on the Western Front" to admit that he was inferior to him in some aspect would make Miao Lian happy for a long time.

As they talked, their eyes reddened.

"Have you decided on your new unit yet?" Captain Gao asked. "I decided a long time ago, in the Judicial Detachment. When they heard I wanted to transfer, the director personally came to talk to me."

"As soon as I heard that was where we fought back then, I agreed," Miao Lian replied.

"That's good. We're going back to reconnaissance, back to our old ways. Maybe we'll even have a chance to fight side by side again."

"The high school team said with a smile."

"The car is about to leave. Could you bring those three boys over for me?"

I'll give them a few more instructions, so they won't cause you any more trouble.

Miao Lian glanced at his watch and realized there was still some time, so he asked Gao Zhongdui to call out to Chang Ning and his two companions who were hiding not far away.

Seeing the high school team waving to them, Xiao Zhuang, who had been waiting impatiently, ran towards Miao Lian.

Miao Lian~
Miao Lian~

Seeing Xiao Zhuang's excited expression, Miao Lian laughed and scolded, "You brat, you're just embarrassing me!"

Xiao Zhuang was still the same as before. The first thing he said to Miao Lian was, "Miao Lian, can you not leave?"

They were all leaving, and Miao Lian's temper wasn't as volatile as it had been in the company. However, he was still a little unhappy when he heard what Xiao Zhuang said.

"Do you think the military is your private property, where you can do whatever you want?"
Xiao Zhuang, remember this: a soldier's duty is to obey orders.

The army remains but the soldiers come and go. I'm already an old guy, and I'm still injured, so I won't shamelessly stay in the army and add to its burden.

Xiao Zhuang, you are a soldier I have high hopes for. You must do well in Langya and not let me down!
Don't act impulsively when things happen. Talk to Chang Ning, Lao Pao, and Captain Gao more often. Don't always let your emotions control you..."

"Woo~"

The train whistle sounded, and white smoke enveloped the locomotive.

"We're about to depart, that's all for now."

After saying that, Miao Lian quickly boarded the train under the guidance of the flight attendant, walked to her seat, and drew the curtains.

He didn't want his soldiers and comrades to see him in tears.

"Miao Lian!"

The train started moving, and Xiao Zhuang began to chase after it, shouting and yelling all the while.

Chang Ning and Lao Pao, seeing this was serious, quickly chased after them to stop them.

Chasing after a train is too dangerous. What if he gets pulled onto the tracks? They won't even have a chance to rescue him. Besides, he can't catch up with the train anyway.

Xiao Zhuang struggled with all his might, but when he realized he couldn't break free from Chang Ning and Lao Pao, he slowly stopped resisting.

He stared at the receding train, and regardless of whether Miao Lian could hear him, he shouted loudly in the direction the train had gone: "Reconnaissance Company!"

杀～

杀～

Kill!

Three shouts of battle rang out, their voices hoarse and strained, until Xiao Zhuang's throat was completely hoarse.

Chang Ning felt a chill run down his spine; he certainly couldn't express himself as genuinely as Xiao Zhuang.

No wonder he's an artist; his empathy is much stronger than his.

After shouting, Xiao Zhuang collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Xiao Zhuang in this state, Chang Ning frowned deeply, her brows furrowing so deeply they could trap a mosquito.

"Get up! Everyone's gone. What are you doing? Miao Lian doesn't want to see you like this either!"
He just said he wouldn't let you embarrass him. Do you think what you're doing now is embarrassing him?

When Chang Ning said these words, Lao Pao was reminding her not to be too harsh, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

It gave him the feeling that his child had grown up and he couldn't control him anymore.

"By the way, I can't let Miao Lian down."

As if waking from a dream, Xiao Zhuang hastily wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, quickly got up from the ground, and then tidied her clothes.

"Let's go back."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuang had calmed down, Chang Ning and Lao Pao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. They were also quite helpless when faced with a comrade like Xiao Zhuang who was so easily emotional.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuang remained calm during the mission, otherwise they could have been wiped out.

Chang Ning and Lao Pao, along with Xiao Zhuang who had tidied up his clothes, found Gao Zhongdui leaning against the hood of a car at the train station exit.

He had a cigarette between his fingers, but he wasn't smoking it. Instead, he was watching the cars coming and going on the road, seemingly lost in thought.

When he came to his senses, Chang Ning and the other two had already appeared in front of him.

Has Lao Miao left?

Seeing the three of them come out, Captain Gao knew that Lao Miao had left, but he still asked that question unnecessarily.

"Well, let's go."

Seeing that the high school team was not in good form, Chang Ning didn't say much.

"I haven't smoked in a long time, and I'm not used to it."

Gao Zhongdui held the cigarette between his fingers and took a deep drag. As a large amount of air entered the pipe, the tobacco instantly glowed with a bright orange-red light, before turning into ash along with the cigarette paper and being flicked off by Gao Zhongdui.

After the smoke passed through their lungs, the high school team members coughed incessantly due to the irritation.

"If you don't know how to smoke, then don't smoke."

For some reason, looking at the somewhat dejected high school team, Chang Ning felt a stirring in her heart.

He had never seen this kind of emotion in this man before.

"Back in Laoshan, Lao Miao and I were the most aggressive smokers in the whole company."

I haven't touched this thing in a long time, and I'm actually not used to it anymore.

Hehehe~"

After taking a few deep drags, the cigarette was reduced to just the butt.

"Get in the car and go home!"

The cigarette butt traced a graceful parabola in the air before landing headfirst in the trash can, where the person who threw it away had already driven off.

By the time we returned to Langya, it was already dusk, with a few fiery clouds still lingering on the horizon, foreshadowing a sunny and perfect day for training the next day.

Miao Lian had a very close relationship with the four men, and his departure from the army had a great impact on their emotions, so they didn't eat for a whole day.

After getting off the bus, I realized I was starving, but the canteen was already out of food. Only the guesthouse where I stayed could still serve meals.

"Alright, I'll treat you to dinner today."

The high school team led the way to the guesthouse.

Someone's treating me to dinner, so why not go? Besides, I'm hungry too.

Chang Ning has never been one to stand on ceremony with people. Why should he stand on ceremony when the leader is treating him to a meal? That would be disrespecting the leader!

The remaining two people saw that Chang Ning had taken the lead, so they followed suit. Now they didn't have to think about anything else; filling their stomachs was the most important thing.
