"No problem, I'll start arranging the departure as soon as it's light tomorrow morning."

Chen Zheng made no excuses.

"Xiao Chen, I'm entrusting everything to you. This matter concerns the most important person in my old comrade-in-arms, so please don't be careless."

An Yuanchao gave several earnest instructions before hanging up the phone.

Chen Zheng frowned slightly as he listened to the busy tone on his phone.

A crisp system notification suddenly rang in my mind.

"Triggered team member Meng Yi's special mission - The Hunter's Redemption".

Mission Description: Proceed deep into the Changbai Mountains to rescue trapped hostages and destroy illegal armed forces along the border.

"Quest Reward: Hunter's Heart"

Chen Zheng stroked his chin, pondering the reward for a moment.

The Hunter's Heart.

This sounds a bit far-fetched.

However, Chen Zheng firmly believed that anything produced by the system was of high quality.

Suddenly, Meng Yi's dejected look in the cafeteria flashed through his mind.

That girl is usually very independent and never panics in the face of trouble, but tonight she couldn't even eat a bite of meat.

The Greater Khingan Mountains, a hunter's daughter; Changbai Mountain, a missing granddaughter...

These clues were rapidly intertwining in Chen Zheng's mind, and his brain, comparable to a 9080ti, began to think.

Less than a second later, he made a decision, stuffed his phone into his pocket, turned around and strode back to the cafeteria.

boom.

The cafeteria door was pushed open.

The previously noisy canteen fell silent instantly, and all the female soldiers stopped what they were doing.

Guo Huaiying still had half a rib in her mouth, her face full of astonishment.

Shen Doudou opened her eyes, a rare occurrence, and stared blankly at the doorway.

Chen Zheng's eyes were sharp as he quickly scanned the entire room.

His gaze was extremely intimidating, making everyone feel uneasy.

Oh no, the instructor came back after receiving a phone call, and why does he have such a murderous aura about him?

Could someone have upset him?

Ram had even begun to pray silently in his heart.

Chen Zheng didn't waste any words and went straight to calling out names.

"Rest assured, Ram."

Upon hearing her name, An Ran, even with her right arm in a cast and sling across her chest, reflexively stood up abruptly, her posture ramrod straight.

Ram was so frightened that she almost bit her tongue. She stood up in a fluster, looking completely bewildered.

"Instructor, did I do anything wrong?"

Chen Zheng didn't say much more, and continued, "You two, go and get your full set of individual combat gear tonight, and bring plenty of warm clothes."

"Come with me early tomorrow morning. Our destination: Changbai Mountain in Northeast China."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion in the cafeteria.

"Changbai Mountain?" Ram's eyes widened in surprise. "Instructor, didn't we just finish fighting the Phoenix team? Why are we on another mission?"

"I remember Mulan used to only get a few missions a year; this is the first time I've seen one that crosses war zones!"

"Besides, it's freezing cold in Northeast China right now, are you trying to kill me with the cold?!"

Keyboard pushed up his glasses and muttered to himself.

"A cross-theater mobilization in a high-altitude, frigid region—this must be a major operation."

Song Jia's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she eagerly raised her hand.

"Instructor, Changbai Mountain is a great place! I heard it has lots of rare herbs. Can I take one with me?"

Chen Zheng ignored the noise and looked at the corner where Meng Yi had been sitting.

She has already gone back.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng turned around and grasped the doorknob of the cafeteria door.

"The rest of you, while I'm away, all of you, train like crazy at the base according to the plan I just laid out."

"If anyone dares to slack off or cheat, when I get back, I'll strip them naked and throw them into the pigsty."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and went straight towards the female soldiers' dormitory.

Before long, Chen Zheng arrived at Meng Yi's dormitory door, turned the doorknob, and pushed it inside.

The room was dark, with only the moonlight barely illuminating a corner.

Meng Yi was curled up on the single bed, her whole body trembling slightly.

Hearing the door open, Meng Yi woke up with a start and sat up abruptly.

She instantly held the bone knife horizontally in front of her chest, assuming a defensive stance.

Only after recognizing Chen Zheng did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Her eyes were slightly red and moist.

"Instructor..."

Chen Zheng casually pulled over a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"What happened?"

"He didn't even eat dinner and just hid here all by himself."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi's body stiffened abruptly.

She gritted her teeth, trying hard to control her emotions, but tears still streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Instructor... just as you went to the infirmary to treat Anran's injuries before your meal, I received a call from home."

"My half-sister has gone missing deep in the Changbai Mountains."

Chen Zheng listened quietly without interrupting, but simply handed over a tissue.

Meng Yi didn't answer, letting her tears flow freely.

"This is a family feud, a scheme set up by our greedy uncle."

"He wanted to seize the ancestral hunting grounds left by his grandfather, as well as the staggering amount of development compensation."

"They have gone so far as to collude with illegal armed groups entrenched along the border."

"They tricked my sister into going into the no-man's-land, saying that my grandfather had left something there."

"Those militants are all desperate criminals with heavy firepower. My sister is in grave danger now that she's in their hands..."

By the end, Meng Yi was crying so hard she couldn't speak.

She is a top hunter who can set up the deadliest traps in the primeval jungle and tear wild beasts apart with her bare hands.

But faced with those villains hiding in the shadows and possessing modern weapons, and with the life and death of her own flesh and blood uncertain, she felt a profound sense of powerlessness for the first time.

After hearing these words, Chen Zheng's expression remained calm, without any extra sympathy.

Compassion is the cheapest thing in the world.

He slowly stood up, took a step forward, and stretched out his large, kind hand, placing it firmly on Meng Yi's trembling shoulder.

"just."

"I came to see you about this."

Meng Yi was stunned, then suddenly looked up at Chen Zheng in surprise.

"I have accepted the mission. Elder An asked me to go to Changbai Mountain to rescue someone."

"Stop crying your weak tears. Mulan doesn't need someone who only knows how to cry."

"Go collect your equipment, and get plenty of ammunition."

"Come with me first thing tomorrow morning."

These words rekindled Meng Yi's spirits.

Yes.

Who is this man in front of me?

He is Chen Zheng, the omnipotent living Yama.

He was a devilish instructor who could train Mulan and her fellow greenhorns into the best in the entire army.

With him around, he could fight his way in and out of any kind of border militant group, let alone a real hell.

Meng Yi forcefully wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes regained their sharpness, and she nodded heavily.

"Yes, instructor!"
