When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 87 is at least a C-cup!
As evening fell, a military jeep was traveling on National Highway 219.

Luo Shan drove, Kaiyoumu sat in the passenger seat, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui sat in the back.

Luo Shan and the other two asked Xu Ge several times on the way about his sudden inability to speak, but gave up when they saw that Xu Ge could only babble.

"Platoon leader, given Xu Ge's current condition, will he become disabled in the future?" Li Dongshui asked, still somewhat worried.

Xu Ge: ...

Luo Shan gestured for Kaiyoumu to light a cigarette for him and said in a relaxed tone, "I don't think it's a big problem. Didn't you hear what the head instructor said? He's probably just feeling a bit upset and holding it in for a moment. He'll be fine once he calms down."

Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge with a face full of guilt: "Xu Ge, I'm so sorry!"

"I should thank Xu Ge, hahaha!"

Kaiyoumu turned to look at Xu Ge and smiled, "If it weren't for Xu Ge, I wouldn't have had the chance to go to Thirty Mile Barracks."

Luo Shan smiled and nodded, "Since you're out, I'll treat you to Northeastern cuisine tonight!"

"Squad leader, is Thirty Mile Barracks the name of a military unit?" Li Dongshui asked curiously.

"Thirty Mile Camp is a place name. It was a small town. Decades ago, a sentry post was moved to a place thirty miles away, which is how it got its name."

Kaiyumu explained, "However, that place has now become the largest supply depot between the Xinjiang region and the snow region. The military depot we are going to is just behind the Thirty Mile Barracks."

"What is the purpose of the military outpost?" Li Dongshui asked again.

Kaiyu didn't know how to explain: "A supply depot is a supply depot..."

Luo Shan spoke up: "The supply depot is a place that provides logistical support for passing troops, and is also responsible for maintaining the surrounding military facilities."

"Oh, I see..."

"Platoon leader, Kangxiwa Pass is just ahead!" Kaiyu suddenly spoke up, his expression turning serious.

Luo Shan's expression also turned serious: "Shut up! Stand at attention to the right!"

Drop drop!
Amidst the car horn, Xu Ge curiously looked to his right and discovered a large cluster of low-rise buildings two or three kilometers away, with what appeared to be a very tall stone monument in the very center.

The entire complex is situated at the foot of the majestic Karakoram Mountains.

After the car passed the pass and began to descend the mountain, Luo Shan exclaimed, "When I first joined the army, nobody cared about this place. Now it's great, it's been renovated and looks impressive!"

"Platoon leader, was that a martyrs' cemetery just now?"

"Yes! The Kangxiwa Martyrs' Cemetery contains the remains of most of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the counterattack against Tiandu!"

Luo Shan's tone turned somber.

"And there are several of our Wolf Brigade's fallen heroes... They were all so young!"

. . .

. . .

Not long after we came down the mountain, the previously empty national highway became busier with vehicles.

In the distance, you can see a town that is not small in size. The national highway runs through the town. Thirty Mile Camp has arrived.

Once inside the town, traffic became congested, and various shops lined both sides of the road.

Honestly, this was the first time Xu Ge had seen such a bustling place since arriving at the recruit training camp.

Sichuan restaurants, Hunan restaurants, Northeastern restaurants, guesthouses, hotels, supermarkets, gas stations, clinics... you name it, they have it!
It was lunchtime, and various large trucks and private cars from tourists were parked in front of restaurants. The aroma of food wafted in through the car windows, whetting Xu Ge's appetite.

Li Dongshui swallowed hard: "Platoon leader, shall we eat first before going to the supply depot?"

After a day of target practice, everyone in the recruit training camp would have already eaten by now, so they must all be hungry.

"Let's go see Xu Ge first."

Luo Shan shook his head, "What if the doctor leaves when we're late?"

Xu Ge was also hungry. At this moment, he really wanted to say that we should not go to the doctor and let's have a big meal here. I can see that they sell Chongqing noodles and hot and sour noodles!
The car turned off the national highway and headed straight for the Kunlun Mountains along a cement road.

From afar, one could see huge patterns made of stones on the mountainside of those majestic, towering mountains, including tanks and armored vehicles representing different branches of the armed forces, as well as various slogans expressing determination.

After going down a slope, two rows of barracks came into view.

At the gate of the military post, the sentry stopped the car and asked what the purpose of the visit was. When he learned that Luo Shan had come to see the military doctor Lin Wan, he pointed in the direction of the infirmary.

Luo Shan told Xu Ge and the other two to get out of the car, as he was going to refuel at the gas station inside the military depot.

"You go ahead first. When you see the medic, tell him that the chief instructor sent you."

"Yes!"

The outpost was very large, with various dining and lodging areas stretching for a long distance.

The infirmary was located on the first floor of the tallest dormitory building. When the three of them arrived, they found the door closed.

"They're not off work yet, are they?" Li Dongshui asked.

Kaiyumu leaned closer to the door to listen: "No, even after get off work, someone will be on duty... Hey, someone's singing inside!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also came over and, sure enough, they heard someone inside singing a fast-paced song along with the accompaniment.

"Amidst the machine gun fire, we searched for cover in trenches..."

"The sandcastle we built as children is destroyed, so we can just rebuild it..."

"But your blood-stained, bullet-riddled military jacket..."

It must be said that the song is good, but the person singing it is really not flattering.

Not only was he off-key, but the worst part was that the singer couldn't even pronounce the lyrics clearly and often stuttered.

Xu Ge listened for a while, but the more he listened, the more familiar the voice inside sounded. Just as he was wondering about it, knock knock knock! Kaiyoumu knocked on the door.

The background music in the infirmary stopped abruptly.

blah blah blah!
The sound of leather shoes approaching.

The door opened, and a female officer appeared, wearing a military uniform inside and a white coat outside. She looked at the three new recruits and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Ge sized up the other person. He had short hair that reached his ears, and his eyes and brows exuded a heroic air, yet his oval face gave him a gentle and beautiful appearance.

Judging solely from her appearance, she is an absolute beauty, but it's hard to tell her exact age. Judging from her voice, she should be in her early twenties.

Kaiyu glanced at the medals on the female officer's chest, his expression changed, and he quickly saluted: "Greetings, Commander!"

Xu Ge didn't know Li Dongshui, but he knew that those rows of colorful squares meant that the other party was a real major!
Seeing the deputy squad leader's actions, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also quickly stood at attention and saluted.

"Reporting to the commander, we've come to see Dr. Lin Wan!" Kaiyoumu said.

"That's me. What do you want?"

Lin Wan also looked at the three new recruits. Their collar insignia were new, but their training uniforms were dirty and torn, and they smelled strongly of gunpowder.

New recruits wouldn't be sent to the battlefield so quickly, and there haven't been any recent battles, so these three should be front-line combat soldiers who have just finished target practice.

"Commander, we've come here for medical treatment!" Li Dongshui said.

Lin Wan was taken aback: "You came to see me for a medical checkup? You came by yourselves?" "Report, the platoon leader brought us here. He went to refuel."

"Then who among you will be seen by a doctor, and what kind of illness?"

Kaiyoumu pointed at Xu Ge: "Commander, he suddenly lost his voice!"

Lin Wan frowned: "How did you find this place? I'm a psychologist specializing in PTSD. Shouldn't you have taken him to the ENT department of the military hospital?"

Kaiyumu quickly said, "Commander, it was Chief Instructor Thor who sent us to find you."

Lin Wan then looked at Xu Ge: "What's wrong with him?"

"After shooting today, he suddenly couldn't speak. Thor said it might be due to some kind of psychological trauma..." Kaiyu quickly recounted the general situation.

Lin Wan looked troubled: "I still have patients here, and their treatment isn't over yet. Which unit are you from? Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"

"Huh? This... Commander, we drove over a hundred kilometers to get here!" Kaiyumu was also at a loss.

Before Lin Wan could say anything more, a figure walked out of the infirmary and looked at Xu Ge: "You?"

Xu Ge looked up and was taken aback. It was an old face with a big beard, dressed in civilian clothes. He opened his mouth and said, "Aba aba?"

Old Face: ? ? ?
Lin Wan looked at Xu Ge with curiosity, then at the old man's face: "You two know each other?"

The old man nodded and pointed at Xu Ge: "Treat him!"

Lin Wan: "Then you..."

The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him, and then pulled Xu Ge in.

"Alright then, that's enough for your treatment today." Lin Wan didn't object anymore and followed her in.

. . .

. . .

The facilities in the infirmary are rather basic and certainly not as good as those in a military hospital.

The consultation area outside only had a few stools, two single beds, a counter full of medicines, and a projector with speakers.

Lin Wan went inside to get the medical record book, while the others sat outside waiting.

Xu Ge glanced at the paused music screen on the projector and knew that the singer who had just been singing was Lao Lian.

I remembered that when Dr. Lin Wanjun introduced herself, she said that her specialty was PTSD. Could it be that Old Face also has psychological problems?
Kaiyoumu and Li Dongshui were secretly observing the old man's face. They didn't know why Xu Ge knew this bearded man, but they guessed that he was likely related to Thor.

At this moment, Lin Wan came out with the medical record book and sat down in front of Xu Ge: "Work unit, name, age, education, medical history and family history?"

Xu Ge: ...

"Sir, he can't speak!"

Li Dongshui whispered, "His name is Xu Ge. He's a new recruit in the first regiment of the Wolf Brigade. He's 18 years old, a high school graduate, and scored 623 on the college entrance exam. He shouldn't have any medical history."

Lin Wan looked up at Xu Ge's expression, wrote something in her notebook for a while, and then said, "Next is the consultation session. You may all leave!"

Kaiyu hesitated for a moment: "Chief, he can't speak..."

"Can't you speak or write? Get out of here and don't keep me from getting off work," Lin Wan said irritably.

"Yes!"

The three people, including the old man, immediately got up and left, closing the door behind them.

Lin Wan stood up, casually tossed the medical record onto the counter, took off her white coat and hung it on the hanger, then packed her bag as she spoke:

"Tell me, why were you faking illness? Was the training in basic training too tough?"

Xu Ge only realized that the military doctor in front of him was actually a major after the other party took off his white coat. He was still in shock when he heard what the other party said, and his expression changed immediately.

"Ah... Aba?"

"You're still pretending, right?"

Lin Wan turned her head and glared at Xu Ge. "You new recruit are really dishonest. Let me tell you, I'm a psychology expert. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your micro-expressions!"

Xu Ge: !!!
“I heard from your comrades that your platoon leader drove all the way here to bring you here. They care about you so much, how can you lie to them?” Lin Wanxun said.

Xu Ge looked guilty and lowered his head without saying a word.

"If you don't say anything, I'll tell your platoon leader that you're faking illness and he'll deal with you!" Lin Wan threatened.

Xu Ge knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he had no choice but to speak up: "Doctor, it's not that I want to pretend, I was forced to!"

"why?"

"Because I can't lie..." Xu Ge said, then quickly covered his mouth.

Lin Wan was taken aback at first, then looked at Xu Ge carefully and came to the conclusion that what the new recruit had just said was true.

Now she was intrigued and sat down in front of Xu Ge again: "Tell me carefully, why can't you tell a lie? Isn't it good to be an honest child?"

Xu Ge kept his mouth shut and shook his head.

"Is there some unspeakable secret?"

"Ok!"

"But your comrades said you only fell ill today." Lin Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "So, you only realized today that you can't lie?"

"Ok!"

Lin Wan's eyes lit up: "No wonder Thor sent you to find me. If what you said is true, this situation is indeed a completely new psychological phenomenon. Interesting!"

Xu Ge looked at Lin Wan, wondering what she meant.

"I can guarantee that our conversation from now on will not be leaked. You can trust me. This is a psychologist's ethical standard."

Lin Wan looked at Xu Ge, her tone gentle yet alluring, "Would you be willing to cooperate in answering my questions next?"

"I'm willing." Xu Ge nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Ge".

How old are you?

"18 is old."

How old do you think I look?

After asking two simple questions to lower Xu Ge's psychological defenses, Lin Wan immediately asked a third question that seemed unrelated to the treatment.

She wanted to test just how far this recruit actually went in his claim of not being able to lie.

Xu Ge subconsciously looked at the major in front of him, and Lin Wan sat up straight under Xu Ge's gaze.

Due to the angle of view, Xu Ge's first sight was the other person's puffed-out chest, and he blurted out:
"I think it's at least a C-cup!"
