My Little Poplar, Chapter 73: A Real Special Forces Soldier
There was a noise in the corridor, Yan Qiang shouted: “Hey, behave yourselves, don’t scare the newcomers.”
The two of them came out of the dormitory, a group of people had just come back from a basketball game, some were wearing wet vests in the cold autumn, some were bare chested, although they used to live and train very close to the dormitory, it was the first time they had seen so many members of the Snowleopard team since they had been cooped up in the dormitory and I don’t know if it was a psychological thing but these guys had a different vibe.
Bai Xinyu spotted a man with a sharp eye, pointing at him and shouting: “Ah, it’s him.”
Yu Fengcheng followed his finger, it was a sturdy man in his early thirties, he recognised him too, it was the same man who had beaten Bai Xinyu’s face for a god measure half a month ago during the wilderness survival training.
The man froze, looked at them and smiled, “It’s you two boys, good, I thought you’d make it in, never thought I’d see you here.”
Huo Qiao smiled and said: “Lao Sha has mentioned you a few times.”
Bai Xinyu subconsciously licks his slightly loose tooth, it feels like his cheek is starting to hurt again.
Lao Sha threw the basketball to Bai Xinyu and said, “Next time you fight with us, try to knock one of my teeth out.”
Bai Xinyu raises his eyebrows and said, “Really?”
Lao Sha laughed: “As long as you can hit me.”
Huo Qiao said: “Let me explain to you new recruits the formation of the Snowleopard Brigade, the Snowleopard Brigade has a total strength of around 600 men all year round, regiment level, we are directly under the military region, nine squadrons under the brigade, four of which are in Lanzhou and five are in Urumqi, five to six squad members per squadron, At our base are squads 7 and 8, Lao Sha is the squadron leader of squad 7, he is your superior.”
Bai Xinyu felt choked, he looked at Lao Sha, Lao Sha had a wicked grin on his face, he was surprised and said: “Are there that many people on this base?” The two squadrons together must have been over a hundred men but he didn’t feel he had seen many.
“Team 8 is out on a mission, there’s only Team 7 on base at the moment.”
Yan Shaozhen said: “When can we do the mission?”
Huo Qiao looked at him askance, “What? Are you in such a hurry to go to war?”
Yan Shaozhen laughed and said: “Sooner or later, we’ll have to try it out for real.”
“No need to rush, you’re not needed.” Huo Qiao said: “I’ll give you three days off, I’ll take you to the city for a couple of days.”
Lao Sha said: “Lieutenant, why do you always have to compete for this good deed?”
Huo Qiao winked, “Because I want to go out too, don’t shout, I’ll take you with me if I want to go.”
Lao Sha looked peeved, “I’m not going.” And with that, he slapped the basketball and went into the dormitory.
Bai Xinyu asked Chen Jing, “Sergeant, which room do you and Shaozhen live in?”
