099 Rejection (Third Update!)

Time stretched on like an elongated image, the scenes in the brain gradually beginning to blur.

That bizarre system had disappeared!!!

It was really gone!

Li Jiangchang felt with utmost clarity that something seemed to have been pulled out of his body, yet he didn't feel empty; instead, there was an abnormal swelling, a sensation that was quite strange.

The ceiling was a sheet of white.

Consciousness gradually returned.

Only when a voice sounded near his ear did Li Jiangchang's thoughts slowly come back.

"Doctor, doctor! He seems to be awake!"

The door was pushed open.

The two doctors in white coats quickly rushed into the emergency room, lifted Li Jiangchang's eyelids, listened to his heartbeat and blood pressure, then looked at each other.

"It seems there's nothing serious!"

"Yeah!"

Li Jiangchang's whole body felt somewhat weak, but his eyes could still move. When he saw the female doctor raise a finger towards him and ask "This is how many," he still couldn't help wanting to curse.

But this wasn't over!!!

"If you understand, blink once. If you don't understand, blink twice. If---"

"No ifs needed! This kid wasn't fainted at all, I told you, right?"

Confused!

Xiang Guofang didn't know when he had already stood behind the two. Li Jiangchang saw the soldier suddenly appearing at the bedside, his eyes immediately widened.

If his eyes weren't deceiving him, this seemed to be a general!!!

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

Gesturing with a hand, Xiang Guofang and Hu Dayou directly bypassed the two and walked to stand in front of the bed, their gazes sweeping up and down over the Li Jiangchang lying on the bed, with no expression visible on their faces.

At this moment, the most uneasy should actually be Li Jiangchang!

Two generals!

Two living generals standing right in front of him!

However, hearing the words from the general whose face had extremely sharp angles, he immediately became embarrassed. After all, Li Jiangchang was still just a nineteen-year-old young man. Even though he had been washed by blood and war, his heart refined, his will honed, it still couldn't change the fact that he was a young man, and had a nature.

And the straightforward nature was precisely a person's most precious quality, especially important for soldiers. Only those with less scheming could charge forward on the battlefield without moving in small ways, greedy for life and afraid of death, nor digging deep for advancement, all day long only knowing plotting and scheming.

Soldiers are soldiers.

They should have a full heart of blood.

They should act with restraint, with obedience to commands as their heavenly duty.

So seeing the expression of crying and laughing appearing on his face, Xiang Guofang and Hu Dayou immediately burst into laughter.

This kid is almost good material!

Of course, also a good soldier!

"Enough, you kid continue lying down. This time bringing you from thousands of miles isn't urgent, wait until you recover and then we'll talk, now there's plenty of time."

Actually, seeing Li Jiangchang, Xiang Guofang's pressure in his heart suddenly reduced by half. He feared most not being unable to find Li Jiangchang, but fearing Li Jiangchang being found by the Americans first, if that were the case then things would be serious. Not only would they be at a disadvantage, Li Jiangchang's secrets on his body would definitely never be known.

After speaking, the two left the ward.

Li Jiangchang naturally closed his eyes without more words.

Instead, the two doctors looked at Li Jiangchang lying on the bed with some puzzlement, then looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking, with some doubt on their faces.

They had to be puzzled.

What kind of place this was, they knew best themselves. What kind of people those two commanders were, they weren't unfamiliar with. What kind of person was this young man? His background? His identity? These were all worth curiosity.

Two days later.

At a very concealed training ground on the edge of the valley's green shade.

Li Jiangchang was seeing for the first time standing in such a position watching soldiers perform daily training, but he knew very well that these soldiers were definitely not ordinary warriors.

An ordinary force would never conduct high-intensity combat training subjects in temperatures of thirty plus degrees, not just the training intensity, but this willpower alone was not something ordinary soldiers could possess.

"How is it? Don't you feel this is very cruel?"

A somewhat familiar voice entered his ears. Li Jiangchang was startled, turned around, and saw the person nod to him.

"Cruel?" Li Jiangchang seemed somewhat at a loss.

Cruel?

If this was called cruel, then what about war? What was war? What was it called when in the midst of gun forests and bullet rain? Hell? Grave? Or something even more cruel than cruel.

Li Jiangchang didn't know how to answer.

He had experienced war, knew the pain of bleeding, knew what it felt like to be hit by bullets, also knew the great terror of walking on the edge between life and death, absolutely not the romantic "dancing on the tip of a knife" described in the books.

War!

Would only be more cruel than imagined, there was no most cruel war.

Luo Qing looked at Li Jiangchang beside him with some surprise.

He was a student who graduated from the Northern Military Medical University, also one of the excellent talents selected for this batch of special operations hospitals, but Luo Qing had not experienced real war, and did not know that the so-called cruel in front of him in Li Jiangchang's eyes was only a kind of training, nothing more.

War is irreplaceable.

Only those who had experienced war were sufficient to become the elite in the army, the most powerful warriors, rather than these bunch of greenhorns of his age.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

Following the communications soldier carrying a lieutenant colonel's shoulder insignia, Li Jiangchang entered a very empty underground building interior, very spacious, but soon his eyes brightened.

This was actually an indoor shooting training range!

Through those high-intensity military special glasses, Li Jiangchang could clearly see many soldiers conducting shooting training, but besides the slight sounds, there was actually no intense gunshots at all.

"How about it? Interested in joining this unit?"

Right after Xiang Guofang said this, the lieutenant colonel standing behind him immediately looked towards Li Jiangchang.

Who was he?

To actually have the commander personally invite him to join this unit.

But the more surprising thing was still behind.

The seemingly unremarkable young man didn't directly agree as he imagined, but shook his head and uttered a sentence that left him dumbfounded.

"Thank you, Commander, but I don't fit here!"

Although he didn't directly reject this general's invitation, Li Jiangchang's meaning was expressed very clearly.

He did not want to join this unit!!!

Even if not unable, but not suitable!!!

The starry sky in the depths of the Gobi Desert was always clear and fascinating, the desert, the night wind, and the suddenly lowered temperature, all these would make Li Jiangchang slowly lose his mind.

Apart from the night wind not having the Mediterranean's salty and fishy taste, all of these were astonishingly similar.

And far away in ten thousand li.

At the US military base in North Africa located within Egypt.

Sitting in the position of the previous North African Headquarters Commander Sloan Allen was a completely new face, but compared to the somewhat unlucky Sloan Allen, this white officer with an eagle-like hooked nose seemed even calmer, and also more restless.

Knock knock knock!

"Ein!"

"Sir, do you have something to tell me?"

The one knocking was suddenly a very young lieutenant officer.

"Sir, this is the intelligence just sent back by our spy in Libya, he has already found the position of the Chinese!"
