Chapter 271: The Secrets That You Didn’t Know
The base was situated in the highlands. In November, all that could be seen from the base was snow. No vehicles were able to come up the mountain in winter. The vehicles couldn’t even reach the military depot, much less the training base of the Xueyu unit.
It takes a lot of manpower, resources, and money to groom a special military unit like the Xueyu unit. This unit only recruited people once every three years. Each time, only two to three people were recruited.
If there was no one suitable, they would rather not recruit anyone.
The Xueyu unit was a special military unit. It didn’t belong to any military district and was so secretive even the chief of a military district couldn’t get any information about it.
Its military achievements were so great that no other military units could be compared to it.
However, it was an unknown military unit. That was because no one could find out what this military unit did or what mission it had completed.
Han Zheng was the last soldier to report to the Xueyu unit this year. He was the one who brought all the rations up too.
He was a lieutenant. He was the son of a high ranking officer. But when he came to this unit, he would have to start anew just like Xia Jinyuan.
On the way to the training base, Xia Jinyuan didn’t say much. He only reminded Han Zheng about one thing: forget his identity.
Han Zheng had made ample preparations but when he arrived at the training base, he was still stunned for a moment. He patted Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder forcefully and asked in a heavy tone, “Will we become tanned when we go back? Will sunblock help us? I brought some sunblock.”
“I don’t know if you will become tan but I know that I won’t. As for sunblock, it is more than 20 degrees below the freezing point. You can take you sunblock out and see if you are able to squeeze anything out.”
Xia Jinyuan took off his windproof mask and placed his rifle on his shoulder. He smiled at his childhood friend whose lips had turned pale from the cold. “We can’t make a fire here and there is no electricity. We only have candles. There is a hand-operated generator but we seldom use it unless we need to contact the military depot. As for warming ourselves up, we just shiver.”
“Place the rations on the shelf at the corner. Do not leak any smell out. Our wooden house is not sturdy. Besides resisting against wind and rain, it can’t resist anything else.
“Snow leopards often appear in this area. You need to be careful. Don’t let yourself become their snack. The map is made by people but it’s the newest edition. It’s handmade. Hurry up and train yourself. Z7, you must get used to this environment as quickly as possible. One year later, we will go down this mountain.”
Han Zheng, whose nickname was Z7, turned serious and said, “Don’t worry, I will not embarrass the country.
“I will take a look at what she wrote before the sky turns dark. Pack your things. The other members will come one hour later. You will be in charge of preparing the food.” Xia Jinyuan had been here for four months so he had already gotten used to the environment here. He used the temperature of his palm to warm up his eyes. His face was as handsome as before but his aura had turned more mature and calm.
The house was made from wood but it could at least block the snow and the wind. Xia Jinyuan didn’t dare to read the letter in the snow. He carefully took out the letter. The first thing that he saw was... Good Luck Cantonese Restaurant!
The little girl really used materials found on the spot. She looked like a complex person but she was very simple. She treated people sincerely and was never pretentious.
