Chapter 263: Chapter 262 Here, What I Say Goes Chapter 263: Chapter 262 Here, What I Say Goes “Get off.”
Roused from his groggy state, Wang Xing opened his eyes, shook his sowhat confused head, and just as he was about to get up, almost stumbled due to the numbness in his legs.
“Hahaha.”
“How co only one was sent this ti?”
“Don’t know, apparently he’s also a troublemaker.”
“Troublemakers are good, all who co here are troublemakers, just afraid they won’t last long enough to explode.”
“Hahaha!”
In the midst of laughter, Wang Xing gradually woke up completely. After a long journey of adapting, his symptoms of high altitude sickness had improved a lot, but he still felt a bit of chest tightness.
Looking up and outside, the truck stopped in a camp area.
The camp was situated on a highland in a valley between two snow-capped mountains, which had the advantage of good ventilation on one hand, and on the other, it was sheltered from the intense ultraviolet radiation of the plateau by the tall snow mountains.
Surrounding the truck were dozens of young n of varying heights, who seed about his age, but their faces, due to long-term living on the highlands, were dark and cracked, giving them the appearance of being much older than their actual age.
They were arm in arm, squatting or standing, sizing up Wang Xing, their mountain camouflage uniforms washed white yet clean and tidy.
Clean and tidy camouflage uniforms.
Clean and tidy…
Sothing ca to Wang Xing’s mind, and he quickly turned his head to survey the camp’s environnt.
As expected.
When he was observing the camp earlier, he had vaguely felt that sothing was off, but he had ignored it.
Now, thinking back, he realized that this small campsite was extrely neat and tidy compared to the other camps they had passed by.
It was completely unseeable that it was ho to a group of strapping young n serving as frontier soldiers.
“Hey, bro, what’s your na?”
“What are you daydreaming about, missing your wife?”
“Don’t say… now you’ve made miss her too!”
“Hahaha.”
Hearing the surrounding laughter, Wang Xing picked up his camouflage uniform that had slid off at so point and draped it over his shoulders. He stood up, leaning on the railing of the truck’s canvas cover, and shouted at them.
“Laugh at your mom laughing!”
The surrounding laughter abruptly fell silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes focused on Wang Xing.
Everyone was young, and they were all troublemakers picked from various legions. They relied on their courage and hot-bloodedness while fighting against Tianzhu Country, so how could they tolerate the provocation of a newbie.
“You’ve got so nerve, co down here!”
The young n got to their feet and surrounded the truck, cursing at Wang Xing loudly.
Wang Xing was a bit arrogant and had a foul mouth, but he wasn’t foolish.
If he really got down, he’d be overwheld by dozens of them.
But in his, Wang Xing’s, creed, it was better to lose a battle than to lose face; when it ca to cursing others, he had never been a coward.
He clung to the truck’s canvas, trading insults with the n below, and the scene beca increasingly chaotic.
“Shut up!”
A thunderous shout arose from behind the crowd, and the ssy group suddenly fell silent, every young man standing up straight, eyes looking forward.
Only Wang Xing, eyes still closed, kept cursing non-stop.
“You bastards, still want to challenge one-on-one, I look down on you…”
“For your small crapy camp of dozens, I really despise it, even if your commanding officer cos, I wouldn’t hesitate to beat him.”
Wang Xing, caught up in his cursing, hadn’t noticed that everyone else had stopped.
“You, co down!”
A magnetic male voice sounded near his ear, and Wang Xing opened his eyes to look down.
He saw a young military officer standing not far away with gold-rimd glasses, also wearing a mountain camouflage uniform, but unlike the other young n, his was even more clean and tidy, his hair combed perfectly, giving him a standout presence in the crowd.
“Wang Xing?” the young man asked softly, pushing his gold-rimd glasses up his nose.
“That’s , and who are you?” Wang Xing sized up the young man with utter disdain in his eyes.
According to what he had learned before, the higher the strength, the higher the military rank, and the more people a person with a high military rank was in charge of.
The man before him, who did not look like a soldier due to his refined appearance, commanded just a few dozen n. Honestly, he was not impressed, suspecting this was so young master sent to gain experience.
“Don’t worry about who I am. Now that you’re here, you’re my soldier. First, put on your uniform properly.” The young man slightly furrowed his brow when he noticed Wang Xing’s casually draped camouflage.
Wang Xing sneered, “You’re ordering ?”
“You can think of it that way.” The young officer stared fixedly at Wang Xing’s shoulder, his fingers trembling slightly.
Wang Xing, seeing the trembling fingers of the young officer, thought he was nervous, which made his expression even more arrogant.
“You think you can, based on what?”
“Who the hell are you to order around? How about we fight it out? Whoever wins takes orders from the other.” Wang Xing’s ntality was extrely inflated at the mont, needing a battle to establish his dominance.
“Oh? Are you sure you want to fight ?” The young officer pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, propped up his gold-rimd glasses with one hand, and a hint of a smile played on his lips.
The others looked at Wang Xing with sympathetic eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
“Anyone who doesn’t fight is a grand…”
Before Wang Xing could finish his sentence, the space behind the young officer suddenly twisted, and the illusory Space Rift slowly opened. A huge vertical pupil rotated within the rift as massive and volatile fire elents converged in the canyon camp.
Wang Xing’s eyes widened, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his heart pounded wildly.
This had to be a joke. How could a small camp of only a few dozen people have an officer of this caliber?
Before he could think it through, a red-haired giant claw reached out from the Space Rift and tightly grasped Wang Xing.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Under the baking of intense heat, Wang Xing’s legs flailed in the air, sweat evaporated the mont it appeared on his face, and the canyon echoed with his wretched howls.
Feeling the scorching pain on his body, the experience from several days ago flashed rapidly before his eyes.
I damn hate fire powers!
The surrounding soldiers watched the scene with interest, their faces showing schadenfreude.
It was not the first ti sothing like this had happened, but for so reason, seeing this young man being punished felt extrely satisfying.
The young officer removed his gold-rimd glasses, ticulously wiped them clean with the handkerchief, and hung them on his collar.
When he looked up again, a pair of dull yellow vertical pupils were revealed.
Bang!
Wang Xing was thrown in front of the young officer by the giant claw, and the severe impact made him instinctively curl up on the ground, his body writhing in pain.
Smack!
The young man’s sturdy military boots stepped on Wang Xing’s face, and he squatted down, looking down at Wang Xing’s twitching body.
“My na is Luo Feng, rank Major, commander of the Mixed Battalion of the Border Defense Army.” Luo Feng’s dull yellow vertical pupils showed no hint of emotion: “Now I order you, put on your uniform, and do five hundred weighted frog jumps.”
Wang Xing’s face twisted under the boot, his chest heaved rapidly, and his cracked lips split open, bleeding.
“Can you do it.”
Luo Feng pressed down harder with his foot and twisted, burying half of Wang Xing’s face into the gravel.
A strong sense of humiliation made him want to say no.
But his mouth had its own ideas and shakily replied.
“I… I can!”
“Louder!”
“I can!!”
The young officer lifted his foot off his face and towered over him.
“My na is Luo Feng, rank Major, commander of the Mixed Battalion of the Border Defense Army of the Great Xia.”
“I don’t care who you were before, or how arrogantly you conducted yourself.”
“But here.”
“I call the shots!”
Wang Xing lay on the ground, gasping for air, coughing violently, his cracked lips bleeding, tears and snot mixing with the blood and dripping onto the gravelly ground.
Looking at the man in front of him, putting his gold-rimd glasses back on, Wang Xing bared a grin.
He could tell that his life from now on was definitely going to be very interesting.
