Volume 2 The Frontline Chapter 47 Old Friends
Shi Jianjun and the others hurriedly went over, and indeed saw a cluster of light moving towards the mountain.
The light was moving slowly, which meant that it was not the beast soldiers attacking, it might be other students or soldiers coming, Shi Jianjun and the others let go of their worries.
When the light got closer, it became clear that it was three soldiers.
"Instructor, what's the matter?" Dana Li looked down and shouted.
The soldier wearing a helmet and painted camouflage climbed to the top of the mountain, and the leader said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I saw that your bonfire here has been lit for a long time, and I specially came to remind you that in the outer land, you can't burn an open fire in the resting place for too long at night, because it will attract the beast soldiers to gather after a long time, and if the beast soldiers gather too much, it will seriously threaten your safety and increase the difficulty of our rescue work." β
"Okay, I'm going to put out the fire, instructor, the fire was just made for barbecue." When Dana Li heard this, he left and turned around to put out the fire.
"There's no rush for a while, just remember to put out the fire later."
"Okay, instructor." Dana Li nodded repeatedly. "By the way, instructor, there's still a little barbecue left, do you want to eat it?"
"Nope." The leading soldier said, "We're going to go somewhere else to warn the trainees, but don't bother you too much." β
"Haizi!" At this moment, one of the three soldiers suddenly shouted, "Why are you here?" β
Just as the leading soldiers were about to lead people away, Ling Hai, who was standing behind Patton, showed his face at this moment, and everyone heard a voice of surprise and surprise.
Ling Hai was stunned for a moment by this vaguely familiar voice, and looked at the soldier who made the voice with a frowning forehead.
"It's me! Liu Song. β
The soldier hurriedly took off his helmet and approached Ling Hai.
Ling Hai's body shook suddenly, and he said excitedly: "Liu Song! Why are you here? β
Since the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Ling Hai had never seen Liu Song again, and he couldn't get through several phone calls, so that Ling Hai had been worried about Liu Song's safety during this time, and Ling Hai really didn't expect to meet Liu Song in the outer region.
So, Ling Hai hurriedly asked, "Didn't you go looking for a job?" How did you become a soldier? β
Liu Song on the other side also asked eagerly at the same time: "Haizi, why are you not going to college and coming to the outer land?" βγ
"Haha."
As soon as the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"I'll start with that." Liu Song said: "I ......" Suddenly, Liu Song's words stopped at his lips, he looked around, obviously not wanting to talk about his affairs in front of so many people.
Ling Hai was very tacitly aware of this, and immediately turned to look at Shi Jianjun. "Squad leader, can we go and talk to the side?"
"Go, it's rare to meet friends in the Outlands."
At the same time, Liu Song also asked the captain for a while.
So, the two of them walked to the corner one after another.
Stopping, Liu Song restrained the smile on his face and said with emotion: "Let me talk about my situation first...... I knew I wouldn't be able to get into college before my grades came out, and then I went looking for a job. At that time, I thought that I could find a satisfactory job on my own, but unfortunately, I thought too highly of myself. β
"With a high school degree alone, 90% of my jobs wiped me off. The rest of the work is either over-squeezing labor or the internship period is too long, and the key point is that I may not be able to stay at the end of the internship period, which is not suitable for me. That's when I realized how naΓ―ve I was when I left school, fantasizing about finding a job that combined bread and poetry. During this period, he held on for half a month, but he was still beaten into a grandson by the reality of society. β
"In the end, I really had no choice, I thought I had to find a place to eat, and then I happened to see the announcement of the army's recruitment. Thinking about it, I didn't have any family to worry about, so I became a soldier. β
After Ling Hai heard this, he finally knew why he couldn't contact Liu Song before. Then, he said with some concern: "One military service is ten years, Liu Song, can you survive it?" This is not a trick. β
"If you come in, you don't want to do that." Liu Song resumed his unstingy appearance and said: "What's more, in the army, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the treatment is very good, and now I am almost used to the life of the army, and there is nothing to endure." β
Thinking that Liu Song came out of the outer realm earlier than himself, and that he would continue to fight against alien creatures for ten years in the future, a dark cloud floated in Ling Hai's heart.
"Alright, I'm done. Tell me how you came to be a mercenary? Liu Song asked with a look of confusion and regret: "You are the top student in the college entrance examination!" It's not good to go to college for further study, what kind of mercenary are you going to be? β
Speaking of himself, Ling Hai's expression suddenly showed helplessness.
"My dad owes more than 1.9 million to the family, and if they want to come to the house, they will cut off my dad's hands if they can't come out. I don't want to make my mother sad, and I have no other way but to borrow money from Jian Hao......"
"After that, in order to repay the money as soon as possible, I asked Jian Hao to introduce me to the job...... You know, if I go to college, the burden of paying off the debt is all on my mom, and I can't do that. You know I don't like to owe favors, and the only thing I can do to pay it back as soon as possible is a mercenary job......"
For Liu Song, Ling Hai had nothing to hide, so he told Liu Song about everything from entering the laboratory to being a mercenary.
After Liu Song heard this, he pondered: "A few million is indeed just a trivial favor for Jian Hao. But Haizi, have you ever wondered why it was such a coincidence? Why did that happen just before you were about to apply for the exam? I heard that Jian Hao has competed with you for a special recruitment place at Jingbei University, and the matter of your entry into the laboratory will not be a bureau for him to find someone, right? β
"It's not as complicated as you think, and Jian Hao is not that kind of person." Ling Hai immediately shook his head and replied, "He asked me to enter the laboratory for other reasons. β
"Then tell me, what other reason do you have for Jian Hao to help you like this?"
Ling Hai hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Because of my reagent utilization rate, you should know what the reagent utilization rate is, right?" β
"Of course I know, speaking of which, I'm still your senior, haha! I've been remodeling for over a month now. What, do you have a high utilization rate of reagents? β
"I've reached 200 percent reagent utilization." Ling Hai said slowly: "At the graduation dinner, Jian Hao knew about the performance of the two of us in the capture glove experience room, and he estimated that my utilization rate reached 200%, and then let me enter the laboratory. β
β......β
When he landed, Liu Song's mouth opened wide into a European shape, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"! Haizi, you don't have to study well, why is your talent in this area so perverted! I've been in the army for so long and haven't heard of a reagent utilization rate of more than two hundred! You're too violent, aren't you? So how much time did it take you to reinvent yourself? β
Ling Hai replied quietly: "Nine days." β
Liu Song: "......"
"Don't ask, don't ask! Comparisons are odious. Liu Song suddenly slapped Ling Hai's shoulder and said, "You are still the Haizi who attracts the hatred of mortals!" β
Just when the two were talking about Shenghuan, the leading soldier suddenly shouted at them: "Liu Song, hurry back after chatting!" We still have a task to do. β
"Okay, Captain, I'll come right over." Liu Song responded, then turned around and said, "Haizi, let's talk in detail another day, I still have an inspection task, so I'll leave first." β
"Well, then you should be careful and protect yourself." Ling Hai said.
"Haha, have you forgotten who you are now? Make it clear, you are just students, we are serious warriors, you have to be careful of yourself, don't ask us to come to the rescue when the time comes. Ha ha! β
Ling Hai said solemnly: "In short, be careful, I heard Jian Hao say that the casualty rate of the front-line army is quite high." β
Liu Song turned his back to Ling Hai and waved his hand, "Got it, see you later!" β
The re-encounter with Liu Song made Ling Hai's previously calm state of mind also fluctuate. To be honest, Ling Hai was more worried about Liu Song than himself.
It's not because of the secret that his body has been getting stronger, Ling Hai is not worried about his safety, but because of the difference in the identities of the two.
As long as Ling Haidang's mercenaries regularly complete the tasks entrusted by the consortium, they can return to society and enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life. But Liu Song, as a soldier of the alliance, does not have the freedom of Ling Hai.
Without the appointment, Liu Song would have spent the next ten years on the front line. Surviving outside the hood is like dancing on the tip of a knife. If you've been dancing on a blade for ten years, how can you not have an accident. And in the outer lands, accidents often mean casualties.
However, Ling Hai also knew that worrying would not help the current situation, and the only thing he could do now was to work hard to enhance his strength, and at the same time protect his own life, and then find a way to help Liu Song.
Ling Hai watched the back that was gradually submerged in the darkness, and the determination in his heart became even stronger.
