Sou~

The military shuttle plane landed at the military airport on the outskirts of Taipei, Li Yi did not expect that the headquarters of the Ranger Regiment was actually located here, and he thought that the shuttle would send him to some remote place.

Stepping off the shuttle, he saw Zhang Jindong and Otto waving to him from a distance, Li Yi smiled slightly, walked out of the airport and met the two masters.

Otto sighed, "We woke up this morning to find that you were gone, and we thought you didn't even want to say goodbye, but who would have thought that we would see you here in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Jindong patted Li Yi on the shoulder, "Good boy! I happened to be in the regiment commander's office when the personnel department sent the dispatch order, and when I saw your name, I almost stared out my eyes. ”

Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't it equivalent to going through the back door to tell you in advance, after all, I don't know if Lu Dao will pass the review." ”

Zhang Jindong and Otto both smiled bitterly, and Zhang Jindong said: "Audit? Since the beginning of this year, you are the first to take the initiative to apply for transfer to the Ranger Unit, and the Personnel Department approved you without even blinking an eye, and then immediately sent it to the Ranger headquarters, just for fear that you would change your mind temporarily. ”

"Others desperately didn't want to think of the Ranger Legion, but you took the initiative to apply to come here, I really don't know what to say about you."

Otto raised his chin, motioned for Zhang Jindong to pick up the car, and said, "Let's go, take you to the camp first, have you told him about Lao Hei?" ”

Li Yi shook his head, "No, Jacob should agree with my choice, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Odo said in a deep voice: "Old Hei knows what the Ranger means, if it is really good for you, he will definitely stop you." ”

Li Yi followed Zhang Jindong and Otto on the road, and all the vehicles encountered along the way, all the military vehicles with the word Ranger printed on them all avoided from afar, and the passage was smooth and unimpeded, not to mention, and even the people saluted the military vehicles with solemn expressions.

Probably these people also know in their hearts that the Ranger Legion is known as the Legion of Constant Defeat, but their efforts to defeat the darkness cannot be erased, so they respect the Ranger in their hearts.

The camp of the Ranger Regiment is actually in the city, which is quite a prosperous place, surrounded by taverns, restaurants, and even a dance hall.

Zhang Jindong said with a smile: "Gain knowledge, as long as our Ranger Corps does not go out of the task, we can play as much as we like, even the gendarmerie pretends not to see, and the military camp is specially applied for by the regiment commander to have fun." ”

The Ranger Regimental compound is said to be an important military institution, but it does not even have a single guard, and anyone can enter and exit at will.

On the basketball court, a group of local teenagers were playing basketball, and two men wearing army vests mingled with the teenagers.

A middle-aged soldier rode a big horse with his son on his shoulder, held his wife's hand, and the family walked out happily, and did not forget to say hello when they saw Otto and Zhang Jindong.

Can this also be called a barracks? It was more lively than the compound of the machine factory, full of children, a group of wild dogs from nowhere stole the meat and bones of the canteen, and the angry fat master yelled and scolded.

In confusion, Li Yi was taken to the regiment commander's office by Otto and Zhang Jindong, only to see several middle-aged people dressed as officers playing chess together, and there were beer bottles on the table, apparently several people drank two glasses at noon.

Syllable~

Li Yi stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and said in a deep voice: "Li Yi, a recruit of the Ranger Legion, come to report!" ”

Swish~

Everyone raised their heads and stared at Li Yi, while Otto and Zhang Jindong laughed evilly behind Li Yi.

"You are Li Yi?" A middle-aged man wearing only a vest leaned back and asked.

"Yes!"

"Well, let's put the chess away first, this is the first fighter we have taken the initiative to apply this year, and he is also a commander." The middle-aged man said.

So everyone put away the chessboard, and the middle-aged man came to Li Yi's side and said lightly: "The old ghost and the fox have told me about your affairs, in the Rangers, there is only one thing you need to remember, there is no commander in the legion, only brothers!" ”

"My name is Xiao Chen, the seventeenth generation of the Ranger Legion, that is Lin Feng, the commander of the first battalion, the bearded one is Howard, the commander of the second battalion, the black and thin is Toure, the commander of the third battalion."

"If I die one day, even if Lin Feng sits in this position, you will still be his brother." Legion Commander Xiao Chen seemed to regard death as a kind of child's play, and his words were light.

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Whoever likes to do this errand with the black cauldron!" If you're dead, I think I'll let Toure take over. ”

The black and thin Toure was furious, pointed at Lin Feng's nose and said, "The surname is Lin, how can you play a fool!?" Drawing lots is obviously catching you, okay!? You have to carry this black pot if you don't want to! ”

Lin Feng naturally sighed, Li Yi was a little stunned when he heard it, the emotional corps commander can also catch lots? What kind of legion is this!?

Xiao Chen laughed heartily, ignored the group of interesting battalion commanders under him, put on his coat, and took Li Yi out of the office.

"Boss, don't you have a mission these days? I promised to take my girlfriend to Yilan for a few days. A curly-haired young warrior asked.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get a car for logistics, take your girl a little as far as you want! If the money is not enough to spend, go to the property to withdraw the subsidy in advance, and send you a year's worth first? Xiao Chen said happily.

"That's enough, I don't need so much, I've already advanced the subsidy for several years." The curly-haired young man touched his head in embarrassment.

The old ghost interjected on the side: "Liuzi, you will take it if you give it to you!" Who did you learn from so hypocritically? Our Rangers don't want this set! ”

Soon, Liuzi advanced a year's subsidy from the treasury, drove the legion bus, left the legion station with a very shy girl, and someone mischievously stuffed him with a few boxes of condoms...

Passing by the basketball court, Xiao Chen was pushed onto the court by several subordinates to play basketball for a while, and when they heard that Li Yi was new, they pulled Li Yi down.

Although Xiao Chen is the commander of the legion, he is obviously not proficient in basketball, after Li Yi made the captain fly with a block, everyone actually unanimously ridiculed Xiao Chen's level is too bad, but praised Li Yi.

"No more playing! Don't play anymore! You boys know how to bully me, and you have the ability to compete with Lao Tzu in football!? Xiao Chen waved his hand and jumped out of the circle.

In this way, Xiao Chen took Li Yi all the way, and was stopped by all kinds of inexplicable people all the way.

A soldier's newborn son even peed Xiao Chen's pants, and he didn't see him angry, and bluntly said that this child has a kind of dare to pee on the corps commander, and he must be better than his father when he grows up.

A few hundred meters away, Xiao Chen took Li Yi for more than an hour, and he kept talking to others along the way, sometimes with a straight face, sometimes with a big smile, it seemed that everyone recognized him, even the children who lived nearby.

Pointing to a six-story military camp, Xiao Chen said, "This is your dormitory." ”

Li Yi was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "All? ”

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "The Ranger Legion is a standard five-thousand-person system, and now there are less than a thousand, whatever you want, these dormitories are empty, at least now they are empty..."

Zhang Jindong turned his head to the other side, as if he didn't want to see the empty barracks, and Odo sighed deeply.

"Li Yi, what do you think of the Ranger Legion?" Xiao Chen asked.

"I'm not the same as I thought, there are many rules when I was in school, such as subordinates must obey their superiors, salute when they see the leader, stand up when they are sitting in their positions, and sit down when the leader leaves..."Li Yi thought for a while and replied.

"Fuck the rules." Xiao Chen pursed his lips, glanced at the barracks where his brother used to live in him, but now it was as quiet as a tomb, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said hoarsely: "Remember, there are no superiors and subordinates in the legion, only brothers!" ”

"And to be a brother, there is this life, and there is no afterlife..."

……

Perhaps because he was afraid of touching the scene, no one accompanied Li Yi into this barracks.

Pushing open a door casually, Li Yi saw that it was a folded quilt, half-eaten chocolates on the table, a freshly cleaned military uniform, and a photo taken with his family.

Apparently, the owner of the room had already left, and the family had not yet had time to go to the barracks to collect his belongings.

I don't know who put a bouquet of small flowers on the bed, just picked in the morning, exuding a faint fragrance, and the green branches and leaves still have the morning dew left.

Pushing open another door, it was still the same, and the bright flowers added a little life to the lifeless barracks.

Finding an unoccupied room, Li Yi put down his bags and lay on the bed, looking at the empty ceiling.

I don't know who the owner of this barracks was in the past, and what kind of story does it have?

Since the establishment of the Ranger Legion, more than 100,000 soldiers once lived here like Li Yi, and now there are less than a thousand left...

Hundreds of thousands of stories don't know where they begin, but they all end here.

Before you know it, it's already dark.

Li Yi suddenly felt a huge depression, he hurriedly walked out of the room, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a deep breath.

Downstairs in the six-storey dormitory, I don't know who lit candles to pay tribute to the brother who had just lost.

Hundreds of candles are like stars in the sky, and the red flames are blown by the wind, as if they will be extinguished at any time, but when the wind passes, the candles burn tenaciously again, reflecting the six-story barracks into the color of the setting sun, which is beautiful from a distance.

Unlike during the day, the whole barracks was surprisingly quiet.

These Ranger Legion guys, they have no heart or lungs, but after witnessing countless laughter and parting, they are more accustomed to burying their thoughts in their hearts.

Spit out a smoke ring, Li Yi leaned on the railing, looking at the candle lit for the brothers at his feet, he seemed to suddenly understand what Xiao Chen said today.

"Be a brother, there is this life, there is no afterlife."
