I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

"Cough cough cough! Ugh!"

Meng Xue gagged twice, then suddenly raised her head, her once clear face now filled with anger.

She kicked aside the unconscious mercenary at her feet and unleashed a barrage of attacks:

"These damned bastards! How dare they kidnap me, their scum?!"

"And that old man Li! My grandpa was sworn brothers with him! When he encountered these bandits, he just rolled his eyes and pretended to faint!"

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

Meng Xue grew angrier as she spoke, and stood up, kicking the mercenary on the ground twice more.

"Ouch..."

Ram watched with amusement, "I didn't realize this girl was interesting at the ancestral hall!"

"That fiery temper is just my type!"

"Yiyi, are you sure this is your real sister? She's nothing like you, you quiet, reserved person!"

Meng Yi was still holding the cut rope in her hand, and she froze on the spot as she looked at her cursing younger sister.

All the scolding words he had prepared were now stuck in his throat.

Looking at Meng Xue's face, flushed with anger, her hand gripping the bone knife trembled slightly.

Because she saw her younger sister, her eyes also filled with tears.

Clearly, this girl wasn't as fiery and strong as she appeared.

But he did this in order not to cause trouble for everyone and to alleviate his grief over losing his second uncle.

In the end, all of Meng Yi's emotions turned into a soft sigh.

"Alright..."

She wanted to reach out and pull her sister, but she didn't know what to say.

Just then.

A hand was extended in front of Meng Xue, offering her a stainless steel thermos lid containing a little hot water.

Meng Xue was in the middle of her rant when she suddenly saw the cup in front of her. She paused for a moment, then looked up along the arm and met Chen Zheng's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Have a sip of water to moisten your throat."

She instinctively took the cup and held it in her hands.

"That's a good voice, full of energy. He's a good prospect to be a striker."

As Chen Zheng spoke, he glanced at Meng Xue and said half-jokingly, "How about considering further training in the military?"

This interruption instantly dissipated most of the tense and awkward emotions that had arisen during the sisters' reunion.

Meng Xue took a sip of hot water, wiped her mouth somewhat embarrassedly, secretly glanced at her older sister, and then looked at the strange man.

"Um... thank you."

Her voice softened, and she finally sounded a bit like a girl.

After saying that, Mengxue looked down at her tattered down jacket.

Her already ample figure was further marred by the constant binding with rope, leaving several noticeable red marks.

Large swathes of fair skin were directly exposed to the cold air.

Ram leaned forward, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over Meng Xue's chest, making a swallowing sound.

"Hey girl, your meals are really something else!" Her tone was full of envy, and she kept pouting. "This is way more impressive than our captain's! Did he grow up eating papayas?"

An Ran's face immediately darkened. He gripped the pistol in his left hand and slammed the butt of the pistol hard against Ram's tactical helmet.

"Enough with the nonsense!" She glared at Ram, then turned and strode toward the entrance. "Come with me to set up the outer perimeter security, and while you're at it, strip those Northerners of all their gear. Don't embarrass yourselves here."

Ram covered her head, looking aggrieved as she followed An Ran, muttering to herself that God was too unfair in distributing body types.

Meng Yi squatted down and carefully examined the remaining hemp rope on Meng Xue's wrists and ankles.

"Instructor Chen," Meng Xue said, rubbing her reddened wrist as she was being examined, her face slightly flushed, "thank you so much for what you did earlier."

Chen Zheng waved his hand:

"No need for thanks. If you really want to repay the favor, come and report to our base later. As for the training intensity, just run 20 kilometers of cross-country with full gear and weights every day."

Meng Xue shrank back in fright.

Dating is fine, but joining the army is a different story.

The crisis is temporarily over.

Meng Yi threw away the last piece of rope and was about to check if her sister was injured when her gaze suddenly stopped behind the chair.

There was a ventilation duct that was blocked off by an iron fence.

The plaster on the edge of the fence had long since peeled off, revealing the bricks underneath.

On the mottled wall, there is an inconspicuous scratch.

Meng Yi was completely stunned.

Familiar simple cartoon figures.

That hairy potato that my father used to complain about so much twenty years ago.

Meng Xue also came over with a curious expression, and with the help of the flashlight, she saw the pattern clearly and opened her mouth slightly.

"Sis, isn't this the dad you drew when you were little?"

Meng Yi ignored her and continued to gently stroke the engravings in front of her.

The edge of this engraving has not been completely smoothed out by time.

Compared to the marks on the ground that have been eroded by wind and snow, the marks here are much newer.

The meaning behind this is self-evident.

After leaving behind that final letter on the ground, Meng Lin, the father, did not immediately meet with misfortune.

He ventured deeper and deeper, eventually reaching the bottom of this sealed underground research institute.

Not only that, but they also left a secret code at the opening of the ventilation duct.

We're just waiting for the day when Meng Yi can come here and uncover its secrets.

"There's still a way." Meng Yi gritted her teeth, stood up abruptly, and kicked the iron fence hard.

boom.

The dilapidated fence crashed to the ground, revealing a dark hole.

Hearing the noise, Chen Zheng slowly walked forward, carrying a thermos.

"Your dad's counter-surveillance skills are far superior to those useless guys with guns outside."

Upon hearing the commotion, Anran and Ram also quickly retreated from the perimeter.

"The perimeter is set up. No other survivors have been found. The surrounding area is temporarily safe," the former quickly reported to the leader.

Without any hesitation, Meng Yi held the bone knife horizontally in her mouth and, using both hands and feet, was the first to crawl into the ventilation duct.

Seeing this, Meng Xue quickly followed her sister's steps and forcefully squeezed her body into the narrow entrance.

Ram glanced at the narrow opening, so narrow that it was difficult to even turn over, then looked down at his heavy polar cold-weather suit, and his face instantly fell.

"Is this place even fit for people to climb?" she complained as she struggled to squeeze in, her face turning red.

An Ran followed closely behind and went inside.

Chen Zheng naturally ended up at the very back, at the bottom.

Inside the narrow pipe, the five people could only move forward slowly and awkwardly.

Meng Yi took the lead, gripping the seam inside the pipe tightly with both hands and struggling to pull herself forward.

His previously steady breathing became erratic, and noticeable panting could even be heard.

That was the fear and anticipation that came with getting closer to the truth.
