Chapter 32 - Five Star Brigade

The next day was a cloudy day, large overcast clouds stretched across the sky, and after the clouds it seemed as if a heavy rain was brewing, which would fall before it fell.

Gu Ning left the dormitory with his gun on his back after inquiring from Zhang Yang about the residence of the third brother.

The third brother brought out more than thirty soldiers when he escaped from the army, and now, including him, there were only twenty-three left.

They occupied the first floor of the teacher's building.

Even at this time, there were still two soldiers with guns standing guard at the entrance of the building.

Before Gu Ning had time to introduce himself, a young soldier in his twenties with particularly white skin who was standing guard lit up his eyes and looked at Gu Ning and said, "Are you Gu Ning? Here to see our third company?"

"Zhang Xiaobai, how many times have I told you to call Third Brother! Third Brother!" Another slightly older soldier who looked about 25 or 26 years old said with a helpless face, and then turned to Gu Ning with glowing eyes and asked, "Are you Gu Ning?" But looking at Gu Ning's dress, a sports uniform, topped with blond hair, a very white face, carrying a gun with him. These points were all reminded by the third brother. It should be right.

"You came at the right time, if you come a little later, we will have to leave!" The soldier named Zhang Xiaobai said.

"Depart?" Gu Ning asked.

Zhang Xiaobai said, "Yes. We have a squad that goes out every day, we have to go out and look for other survivors." Speaking here he gave a slight beating and looked at Gu Ning gratefully and said, "We all heard Zhang Yang say that if it wasn't for you yesterday, not only Zhao Jie and the others, but even Third Brother and the others might not have come back."

The slightly older soldier also cast a grateful glance at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was somewhat silent.

Although they are out of the army, they have been trying to find survivors and bring them back safely to the gathering place, for them, this matter has no benefit to speak of, just still holding on to their vocation as a soldier defending the people before the end times.

Gu Ning looked at the soldier in front of her, who looked younger than she was, and said that he didn't complain about going outside to look for survivors, but only felt that it was a matter of course.

Gu Ning suddenly had some respect.

"Let me take you in." Zhang Xiaobai said enthusiastically, and then took Gu Ning inside the corridor: "Zhang Yang said you learned to shoot temporarily, shooting accuracy than Luo Long! Zhang Yang said I did not believe it, he likes to exaggerate, and then Luo Long also said so I believed it. How did you do it?"

Gu Ning felt some surprise is that this layer of soldiers live in only two rooms, the other rooms are living in some children, the floor is covered with a mess of quilts or clothing, children sleep on this, a room with almost 20 to 30, most of the children are asleep at this time, some woke up early, but also unusually well-behaved did not cry, just open a pair of black bright eyes curiously looking at Gu Ning, a stranger.

"These are the orphans who have no father and no mother." Zhang Xiaobai took the initiative to introduce: "Third brother said that children are the seeds of the world, save one more, the future of the world will be one more hope. I think what San said is quite right. Anyway, we have a place here, so these children are placed here, but these children are very good, never give us trouble. Children, eat not much to eat." Here he said a slight beating, frown slightly knitted, said: "is now the day is getting colder and colder, the real winter, these children have no clothes to wear, do not know if they can survive this winter."

Gu Ning looked at the pairs of curious but quiet dark eyes, listening to Zhang Xiaobai slightly heavy words, do not know what to say.

Used to seeing the indifference of people after the end of the world, used to seeing people facing the numb and cold faces of women and children, Gu Ning for the first time to see such people who are still full of enthusiasm for the world. This enthusiasm, so Gu Ning inexplicably feel ashamed of themselves.

But at the same time feel very confused, she naturally did not forget yesterday morning, the man was delayed because of a gunshot to the head, although I do not know if that person is not the third brother of their people, but at that time can be so decisive shooting people, in Gu Ning's level of understanding should be a ruthless person, more definitely will not be the placement of orphans.

Gu Ning really can't see through the third brother.

When Gu Ning was taken by Zhang Xiaobai to see the third brother, the third brother was checking the guns and ammunition.

Third Brother was slightly surprised by Gu Ning's arrival, but he didn't stop what he was doing, he just asked, "Gu Ning? Something wrong?"

Gu Ning first took a glance at the environment here, which was no different from the place where the children lived, even the clothes and blankets spread on the floor were not as thick as the place where the children slept.

Ten or so soldiers crowded in a room, the room can move things are moved to the aisle in order to free up more space. The soldiers are mostly young men in their twenties, who have heard of Gu Ning's "heroic deeds" and are now staring at him with some curiosity.

Gu Ning gave them a slight nod as a greeting before answering Third Brother's words and saying, "Well, there are a few important questions I would like to ask Third Uncle."

Gu Ning looked so solemn, which made Third Brother also solemn, put down the gun in his hand, stood up and said to Gu Ning: "Come on, go out and talk."

The two walked to the other end of the corridor, a small balcony, San pulled out a small metal box from his inner pocket, there are about ten cigarettes in the box, he took out a half-smoked cigarette, lit it with a lighter, intoxicated after a puff and put the cigarette back in the small metal box, let the smoke stay in the mouth for enough time before puffing it out of the nose. He squinted his eyes with an expression of enjoyment on his face before cursing, "Damn, cigarettes are harder to get than drugs these days." After cursing, he asked, "What is it? Say it."

Gu Ning had already thought of the wording on the way here and asked, "I want to ask a question. It's if, now that it's not the end of the world, you're still in the army, Third Brother. If I want to go to the army to learn fighting skills, what can be done to get me in?" Gu Ning emphasized the word if.

Third Brother froze for a moment at Gu Ning's very strange question, then said, "Is this the very important question you're talking about? What kind of a question is this? Are you joking with me?"

This is not to blame for this reaction of the third brother, it is really Gu Ning this question is really too strange and boring no matter in anyone's opinion.

Gu Ning couldn't explain anything to Third Brother, so he could only emphasize, "Third Brother, I'm not joking, this question is very important to me."

Seeing that Gu Ning's expression did not imply a joke, Third Brother then believed that Gu Ning was seriously asking himself this very boring and strange question, and his answer was, "Difficult." After he finished this sentence, his voice paused slightly, then said: "But seriously, if I was still in the army, know you this good seedling, will certainly help you to introduce to the five-star brigade. Tsk, it's a pity, if it's not the end of the world, another week or two is when the five-star brigade comes to the army to pick people." He said with a raised eyebrow, "then also let that bunch of eyes above the last year to a company of my son of the turtle to see what is called a sharpshooter. Hey, hey!" He stopped laughing when he gave Gu Ning a look and said, "Tsk, it's a damn shame! Can't watch the Five Star Brigade gang get defeated."

Gu Ning was silent before asking, "What is the Five Star Brigade?"

Originally these are confidential, but now that the world has ended, San is interested in declassifying with Gu Ning: "Five Star Brigade is the code name of a special force in our country. Every year, these people have to recruit the top talent in the country's various forces, and their recruitment is not limited to troops, not limited to men and women, young and old, their recruitment conditions are only one, that is, to defeat them. The only condition for their recruitment is to beat them. Gunnery, close combat, as long as you have the same into the eyes of the gang, you can become one of the five-star brigade. Although I don't like their overbearing look, but you can't help but say that the ones who can get in are the top talents. Those of us who are in front of those of them, that is scum. I believe that even today, these people are the ones who can survive to the end."

From San's words, one could hear his complex emotions of love and hate for that five-star brigade.

Third Brother gave Gu Ning a final look, then said, "If it were still the old peaceful times. You have this talent, plus I then systematically train to train you, maybe you can really be selected into the five-star brigade to go." He sighed again, "What a pity."

Gu Ning is because of the third brother these words listened to the heart longing, and the most let Gu Ning moved, is undoubtedly he said that even today, they are also able to live to the end of those people.

And this is also Gu Ning's ultimate goal in this world.

After Gu Ning obtained the important information from San, he said goodbye to San and then walked out of the teacher's building.

Only just after he walked out, Gu Ning was stopped by someone.

Gu Ning looked at the person who stopped in front of her in surprise.

The little girl who had seen her in the back playground opened her hands and stopped in front of her, not knowing if it was because of lack of oxygen due to running too much, a small face was white, which set off the pair of black eyes like a deep pool, she tilted her head and looked at Gu Ning, although the pair of ink-like eyes could still remain calm, her voice could not be contained with some trembling cries, said:" Please save my brother! Please save my brother! He's about to be killed!"

Perhaps it was because of the unusually well-behaved and quiet children she had just seen in the teacher's building, or because of this little girl's "specialness", Gu Ning only hesitated for a moment before following this little girl and running towards the back playground.

The brother she said was about to be killed is helpless on the ground, the thin body curled up in pain, but at this time no one is beating him, because the group is beating a ... A black man?!

Gu Ning looked at that wearing a clearly out-of-shape shorts body-shirt body tall, mouth still wow black, there is a moment of trance.
