Chapter 0105: The End and the Beginning

Zheng Yingqi dragged Xu Sanduo to the guard company and they spent the night there.

Xu Sanduo was genuinely envious of Zheng Yingqi's popularity in the guard company—almost everyone said goodbye to Zheng Yingqi with reluctance, and the whole company even held a farewell dinner for him.

"Back then, these guys would have loved to tear me apart and skin me alive." Zheng Yingqi saw Xu Sanduo's melancholy and whispered to him, but his tone was just as melancholy. Now, the guard company was reluctant to part with him, and he was also a little reluctant to part with them.

"Don't forget that the guard company is your home base when you go to the Old A unit—be careful next time we meet on the training field, don't let our guard company chase you like a dog!" Du Jianguo patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder and said with great pride. He was also very pleased that his soldier had stood out among the many elites in the entire division, which was indeed a source of pride.

Although it is very unpleasant for one's own company's best soldiers to be taken away like peaches being picked from a tree!

Meng Jianguo never drinks, but that night, he surprisingly clinked glasses with Zheng Yingqi and said, "Very good, very well done."

He spoke very well. This included not only Zheng Yingqi's successful selection into the Old A team, but also Zheng Yingqi's unwavering commitment to never giving up on him. This is what Meng Jianguo's apprentice truly deserves!

These are the soldiers of the Republic!

Zheng Yingqi saluted Du Jianguo and Meng Jianguo solemnly, promising, "I will definitely not let the guard company be disgraced!"

"I know! I've always known!" Du Jianguo said with a smile, taking a big gulp of beer.

The next day, when they were about to leave, the three soldiers from Group A said they wouldn't see them off, but they still escorted them all the way to the old Seventh Company.

"Don't act like a girl—I'll be waiting for you in the Old A. I believe you will definitely come to the Old A, and I will treat you well then!" Zheng Yingqi told his three comrades to "get lost" and said with a smile as they parted.

"Boss, it's a deal—when we storm into Old A, you'd better take good care of us!" Wang Hui and his team said earnestly.

Zheng Yingqi nodded solemnly, but inwardly he was wryly smiling, thinking that he wouldn't be able to avoid treating them well later.

"Boss! Take care! Wait for us!"

Meng Kai and the others turned and left.

The distance between them continued to widen, but they believed that soon, the distance between them would shrink again until they could fight together once more.

"Yingqi, I really envy you. You can adapt to anywhere... I can't... If you weren't here, I don't know how I would adapt to Old A." Xu Sanduo said with a simple smile. Zheng Yingqi shook his head: "You, you're no longer the country bumpkin you were in recruit training—Comrade Sergeant, have confidence, you're now a top soldier from 702!"

The two walked into the old Seventh Company's barracks, chatting and laughing. The Seventh Company's barracks, which should have been deathly quiet, was bustling with activity. Gone was the loneliness and despair of the past; it was as if it had been reborn.

"This is..." Xu Sanduo stared blankly at the seemingly transformed base. Zheng Yingqi calmly said, "The Seventh Company is alive."

While Xu Sanduo was still lying in the tent in the oak forest, a group of college students walked in with curiosity. They thought that a barracks that had been empty for half a year would be a ruin covered with cobwebs. Unexpectedly, what came into view was the benchmark of the medical company.

"It's gone... This place no longer belongs to me." Xu Sanduo said sadly as the soldiers who rushed into the barracks wiped away his last traces here.

"Let's go for a run around the playground—consider it a final farewell." Zheng Yingqi looked out at the playground. In the old Seventh Company, the playground was what he was most familiar with. He spent most of his time in the Seventh Company on the playground.

Xu Sanduo nodded, and the two slowly went to the playground. Then, in a familiar place, they started running. They had agreed to run a lap to say goodbye, but once they started running, they forgot what they had said and just kept running and running until they couldn't run anymore.

An officer walked over as they were panting heavily, and only then did they notice that a large group of soldiers were gathered not far away, watching them.

The two struggled to their feet, straightened their uniforms, and then saluted the officer.

"Xu Sanduo, Zheng Yingqi, say something to everyone," the officer said to the two after returning their salute.

Xu Sanduo was stunned for a moment, then said, "I can't speak, let Zheng Yingqi speak."

"Just say whatever you want. They're all from academies. You two can give them a lesson," the officer said in a low voice. "I've already told them about your situation. They really admire you."

Zheng Yingqi stood at attention, nodded, and agreed. "Xu Sanduo, come with me—they are from the 7th Company."

They are from the 7th Company. Let's go and talk to them, tell them how proud the 7th Company is, how honored the 7th Company is, and how great the 7th Company is!

However, when Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo stood in front of these people, he suddenly realized that what he wanted to say was actually useless.

The Steel Seventh Company was made, not just talked about!

"Welcome to the 7th Company, the Steel 7th Company." After a long pause, Zheng Yingqi said, "I used to hear people say that the future belongs to you, and also to us, but ultimately it belongs to you. The 7th Company used to belong to us, but now it belongs to you."

"I am the 4937th soldier of the Steel Seventh Company. My proud Seventh Company has a company song without sheet music because all the people who knew how to sing it sacrificed themselves in a battle. The lyrics were found in blood and fire, so we have been singing this song all the time."

Looking at this group of future backbone members of the 7th Company, Zheng Yingqi roared out the battle song belonging to the Steel 7th Company:

A thunderclap, a sword, a pack of fierce tigers, the Steel Seventh Company;

With an iron will and iron will, we defend our country and protect our homeland with our blood and sweat.

The battle cries terrified the enemy; his reputation for invincibility spread far and wide.

We will surely conquer in attack and defend with unwavering resolve! We will triumph over the enemy's corpses!

Xu Sanduo, who once stood helplessly by this battle song during his induction ceremony, is now shouting the same battle song as Zheng Yingqi, a song that has seeped into their souls.

These educated soldiers, listening to this roared battle song, seemed to see the martyrs charging into battle. Their blood boiled with excitement, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo saluted them, a solemn salute, as if they were performing a handover ceremony—this battle song belonged to the 7th Company, and the motto "Never abandon, never give up" was the name of the 7th Company. They would take over these responsibilities and allow the 7th Company to rise from the ashes.

The two left without looking back, because they believed that the future 7th Company would shine just as brightly as they did.

Just like when they were here.

As they were leaving, the two saw Cheng Cai. Judging from the footprints he left while walking back and forth, he must have been waiting for a long time—he didn't come in, even though the soldiers at the entrance of the 7th Company's garrison wouldn't stop him.

"I..." Cheng Cai opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. The roar he had just heard was still echoing in his ears, but he couldn't roar out this song.

Zheng Yingqi understood Cheng Cai's feelings, so he didn't bring it up. He said, "Let's go see Wu Liuyi—did you go to Class Five to say goodbye?"

"No, I swear I'll never go to that godforsaken place again," Cheng Cai said.

Zheng Yingqi gave Cheng Cai a deep look. He found that Cheng Cai was still the same Cheng Cai. Cheng Cai felt a little guilty under Zheng Yingqi's gaze. He always felt that Zheng Yingqi could see through him.

"Let's go."

Wu Liuyi was staying at the Army Hospital. Before the three of them arrived and went inside, Cheng Cai ran to a shop at the entrance of the hospital and bought a bunch of things in a lavish manner, including whole packs of Hongtashan cigarettes, fruits that are rarely seen locally, nutritional powder, and juice.

In the original story, Cheng Cai ran away on his own, which made Xu Sanduo very angry because Cheng Cai's actions made him feel betrayed. But now, Cheng Cai was being directed by Zheng Yingqi and was running away with everyone's hopes, so Xu Sanduo couldn't understand Cheng Cai's wasteful behavior.

"That's 1,420 in total," the sales clerk said with a smile.

Xu Sanduo was startled: "Chengcai, there are too many... there are too many."

For Xu Sanduo, who was frugal and thrifty, 1,420 was an astronomical figure.

Zheng Yingqi smiled and said, "Let's split it evenly."

"Ah? Okay." Xu Sanduo quickly took out his money, but he only had a few dozen yuan on him.

Cheng Cai declined, saying, "No need, I can do it by myself."

"Those are our comrades, not just you," Zheng Yingqi said softly. Cheng Cai was stunned for a moment, then acquiesced.

When the sales clerk finished collecting the money and handed over the goods, Zheng Yingqi noticed the cigarettes inside and suddenly said, "Take the cigarettes away and replace them with a few boxes of beef bone-strengthening powder."

"Wu Liuyi is a heavy smoker," Cheng Cai said, puzzled.

"It's time to quit." Zheng Yingqi was adamant on this point, and Cheng Cai shrugged and did as Zheng Yingqi suggested.

Several people carrying gifts entered the hospital. Cheng Cai rushed to the information desk and asked blankly, "702 Regiment, Wu Liuyi."

"1022," the nurse replied indifferently.

"Thank you." Zheng Yingqi thanked the nurse brightly. The nurse's expression immediately softened, and she said, "You're welcome." Xu Sanduo asked blankly, "Why is she like this?"

"You've been spoiled by everyone." Zheng Yingqi suppressed a laugh as he looked at Cheng Cai, who looked puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

Zheng Yingqi was speechless. He had regretted it after realizing that the wish given by the system had been "ruined" by Wu Liuyi. Why didn't he ask for a wife? That would have proven that he wasn't destined to be single. Looking at Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo, they were definitely destined to be single.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'After serving in the army for a long time, even a sow looks handsome'?" Zheng Yingqi asked with a smile.

It took them a while to realize that they had been too direct in their questioning earlier...

"The soldiers here are all handsome enough to look at a sow, and who doesn't look like a warm and sunny guy when they see a woman? Look at you, tsk tsk..." Zheng Yingqi mocked Cheng Cai, who was speechless, not realizing that Zheng Yingqi had this side to him.

(As usual, you'll definitely see an update when you wake up tomorrow—since a 4,000-word chapter doesn't count as two updates, then from now on...)

Yes, I haven't stopped updating. You can check all the dates. I haven't missed a single update in over a month. If anyone calls this a discontinued project, I'll send them razor blades! I'll send them!

Lastly, just wanted to brag a little: how were the rewards for those who bet correctly? (Hahaha!)
