Chapter 24, Non-Human
To reward the triumphant recruits, the members of the Lions prepared a sumptuous dinner for their platoon of recruits. Ranran's bonfire renders the mood of a victorious return.
"Zheng Donglin, the head of the regiment called you." The second lieutenant pushed Zheng Donglin, who was sitting in the corner and wrapped himself in an airtight airtight bag.
"Yes, here it is." I opened my eyes in a daze, and I left the lively dinner party without nostalgia.
followed the second lieutenant to the core battalion commander of the Lion Regiment half-confused and half-walked.
"Report." "Well, let him in." Captain Lu's voice came from inside.
After a few snorts, he entered the tent.
He walked through the cumbersome equipment and came to the side of Captain Lu, neither speaking nor moving.
"Yes, sit down." Head Lu found that there was an extra shadow around him, and when he looked up, he saw Zheng Donglin, who was still in a hazy and confused state. He gestured to the opposite place and motioned for him to sit down. , and then kept looking at Zheng Donglin without speaking.
"Captain, just say something." After the nth time, Zheng Donglin couldn't stand it, and Head Lu had to speak first to break the stiff situation.
"Have you been getting lethargic lately?" Captain Lu didn't change much, but his tone became a little lumpy. Staring at Zheng Donglin, Zheng Donglin, who was becoming more and more unwilling to look like a human, although he had already known the answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but be anxious.
"Well, I like to sleep more than usual." After thinking about it, what Regiment Leader Lu said was the truth, and he has always been sleepy in the past three days.
"What else is unusual about you besides this?" Head Lu was really serious this time, and his hand holding the cup was not close and a little white.
"Well, except for this. My body temperature is getting lower and lower, and my facial features are much more sensitive than usual...... "Although I am still very sleepy with my arms propped up, my mind has begun to turn and recall the abnormalities of the past few days. I don't know why, when I saw Captain Lu's serious expression, I actually told him my secret.
"I think you're going to go to the military base to adjust after the acting. Truth be told, your body is beyond the scope of a human being. Captain Lu patted Zheng Donglin's shoulder with a straight face, and there was a slight cool temperature in his palm.
"Yes, I see." After a sullen reply, he left slowly, although his expression was as unreasonable as usual, but his eyes were about to turn into swords.
The temperature of the body is getting lower and lower, the sensitivity of the facial features, and the improvement of physical fitness are all telling Zheng Donglin...... You don't belong to the category of people anymore......
Ignoring the ensign's obstruction, he came to the foot of a tree more than ten meters high, and when he put his hand on it, he could feel its pulse and its thoughts.
"Damn the Scorpion King!" Angry to the extreme, he punched the trunk of the tree and pierced it, and felt the trembling of fear coming from the tree. Zheng Donglin calmed his anger and walked in the direction of the dinner party.
Not long after Zheng Donglin left, Captain Lu also came here. Saw the hole of terror.
"Is your presence a blessing or a curse? made the Scorpion King pay so much attention to it. It has long been beyond the confines of humanity, and it seems that your time is coming. He sighed and left there.
"Hey, shemale. Come here, my brother is talking about you! Chen Hu saw someone coming over unhurriedly, and hurriedly beckoned.
"Why, tell me something." Zheng Donglin sat down with a smile, and was surrounded by several recruits with raw faces.
"We're discussing how you rescued everyone by yourself and brought the Thunderstorm Regiment to life."
"It didn't matter what I did." Zheng Donglin's face did not change and the tall image of a hero was pushed out.
"How can it be none of your business, if it weren't for your sharpshooter who gave the leader of the Thunderstorm Regiment a second with one shot, maybe we wouldn't be able to get out." The little monkey interjected at the right time, successfully arousing the curiosity of the onlookers.
"Donglin, seeing that you are only twenty years old, why don't you go to college?"
"It's been two years since I graduated before I was brought here to pay off my debts." Zheng Donglin took the soda from the little soldier and shrugged helplessly.
"What, you've graduated. What specialty? Wang Jie Erling couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the chattering conversation, he originally thought that this kid was just a mess and waiting to die, but he didn't expect that he was still a high-achieving student.
"I'm a language major."
"Wow Sese, aren't you a human translator from now on." The little monkey said teasingly. Zheng Donglin didn't refute, I don't know how they would look if they knew that I was also a mechanical expert.
"Then you said you were here to pay off the debt, but what kind of debt did you pay?" The little soldier who was watching on the sidelines suddenly interjected and asked.
"Well, that's a long story. I'm here to pay off the national debt. ”
"What? National debt! The soldiers were very surprised, you must know that in the laws of country Z, there has never been a debt to pay off the debt.
"Wait, Zheng Donglin. You stand up and are faced with me. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something terrible, one of the senior soldiers in the crowd stood up in exclamation and took out a picture of a man's back from his pocket.
After Zheng Donglin stood up, the senior soldier screamed on the spot.
"Oh Maiga, you ...... You won't be the famous monster thief Donglin! The almost unconventional tone of the voice succeeded in attracting another group of curious soldiers. Holding tightly in his hand, he held the only back photo of Donglin, a strange thief announced by the government.
"Uh...... I'm a thief, yes. At that time, I was probably not the most famous. Awkwardly drank soda to suppress the shock. When did you become so famous...... I don't know!
"What! You don't even know...... Do you know how well-known you are out there? Wang Jie also understood, it turned out that the strange thief who had been rumored in various countries was in front of him, and this strange thief didn't know his fame, so he gritted his teeth with hatred.
“…… Oh, my God! How come the God in my mind is this? Don't you really know? The senior soldier said that he couldn't calm down at all.
"Well, I really don't know." Again and again, he shook his head to indicate that he really didn't know. In exchange for everyone's endless white eyes.
"We all know more or less about you, but you don't even know about it." The little monkey didn't know where to get the mobile phone and began to search for things about the strange thief Donglin.
Thousands of posts about him, countless international news and so on made Zheng Donglin stunned again.
"Am I really famous?"
"Well, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't actually steal antiques, your current head price would be comparable to that of the Scorpion King." glanced at Zheng Donglin and began to take a photo with Zheng Donglin.
"What are you doing here?"
"Take a group photo, and when you're done acting, you can show off as you want."
