Ready for Battle

Buzz~~~~~

The alarm clock on the bedside table buzzed at 4:30 a.m. sharp.

Chen Wenwen is now sharing a room with Lin Maomao, while Huan Chu is now living alone.

Not sure if it was excitement or nervousness, he didn't sleep well all night. Now, as he opens his eyes, it feels like he just took a short nap in the afternoon.

I looked out the window and saw nothing but darkness.

The air in the small town is very good, with stars scattered across the pitch-black night sky, adding a touch of brilliance.

But Huan Chu didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He turned off the alarm clock, changed into a black military uniform, and got out of bed to freshen up.

The military uniform has been washed and ironed by Chen Wenwen, with a faint scent of laundry detergent remaining on the clothes, making it look more heroic on Huan Chu.

The bathroom had already been prepared with water, and Huan Chu quickly cleaned himself up. At 4:45, he arrived at the top floor conference room with his gun slung over his shoulder.

In the meeting room, Chen Wenwen, Lu Hao, Li Feng, Zheng Zhi, Jiang He, Li Rui, and the rest of the staff from the Operations Department have all arrived, chatting and organizing their equipment. Cao He and Ye Hongbo, who are in charge of logistics, are also here, talking quietly and occasionally laughing.

Pang Le received the order to accompany the team on a mission yesterday. He was worried about oversleeping and being late, so he simply decided to spend the night in the meeting room, cuddling up with a blanket on the sofa. At this moment, he is sound asleep on the sofa.

His blanket had just fallen to the ground, and all of it was snatched up by the black dog at his feet.

Because this trip is not just about completing the task, in order to show their strength to the locals in Hanshan Town, Ye Hongbo deliberately proposed a unified dress code for this trip, and Huan Chu readily agreed.

Cao He seemed to be well prepared. Yesterday, he took out a large pile of black military uniforms and distributed them. As a result, everyone in the meeting room is now wearing the same military uniform as Huan Chu, except without shoulder insignia. Compared to the military uniforms, they look quite handsome.

As soon as they saw the boss walk in, the group of people immediately stood up straight and greeted Huan Chu.

With a glance, Huan Chu was displeased to find that Huang Yao had not arrived yet, but he checked the time and saw that it was still within the designated time limit.

Everyone sat down as Huan Chu was about to speak, but the door of the meeting room was knocked open, and instead of the expected Huang Yao, it was the parents and Lin Maomao who came in.

Because the mission was somewhat dangerous, Huan Chu did not inform his mother, but judging from the situation, it was probably Queen Chen Da who leaked the information.

With a fierce glare at the smirking Chen Wenwen, Huan Chu quickly walked up amidst a chorus of "Hello, Auntie": "Mom, why are you here?" "

Mother smiled and looked at Huan Chu with endless affection in her eyes, "Aren't you going on a mission?" I thought that everyone must be hungry getting up so early in the morning, so I brought some food with Mao Mao to share with you all. "

Thank you, aunt! With Huan Chu's permission, a group of people immediately surrounded him, took the noodles and milk from Lin Maomao's hands, and found a place to sit down.

Huan Chu instructed everyone to leave a portion for himself and Pang Le, comforting his mother, "Mom, this mission is very simple, there is no danger." "

Mother just smiled and said, "I know, I know. Focus on your work, Mom will be waiting for you at home." "

There was no trace of worry on the father's face, he patted Huan Chu's shoulder and said, "Son, we two old men won't bother you anymore." Remember, come back alive. "

"Hmm." With a nod towards his parents, watching the slightly elderly couple leave, Huan Chu turned his head and found Lin Maomao looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.

Huan Chu pinched his shoulder and said, "What are you still doing here?" "

Lin Maomao was about to speak, but caught a glimpse of Chen Wenwen eating breakfast on the side. She shook her head at Huan Chu and then ran out quickly.

Huan Chu was confused by her, but this was not the time to worry about these things. Without thinking too much, he walked to the sleeping Pang Le's side and shook him, saying, "Lezi, wake up and eat." "

Suddenly being touched, Pang Le instinctively shrank back as if to dodge, but when he opened his fierce eyes and saw that it was the boss shaking him, he relaxed.

As soon as I sat up, I felt like I was stepping on something soft and fluffy under my feet.

Pang Le was a little puzzled. He stomped hard, and heard a wail coming from under his feet:

"Woof~~~"

Until Pang Le ran to the bathroom to wash up, Hei Zi still looked at him with a face full of grievances.

Okay, okay, stop pretending. "

Huan Chu comforted Heizi for a few words, then sat down on the sofa where Pang Le had just been lying down, eating noodles and looking at everyone present.

The expressions of the crowd are all different.

Chen Wenwen sat next to Huan Chu, eating breakfast very gracefully. The queen, who usually looks like a pure female hooligan, only shows a ladylike appearance when eating.

Because she was going on a mission, Chen Wenwen tied her long hair into a ponytail behind her head. Knowing how to dress up, she didn't wear high-heeled shoes, but instead put on a pair of black knee-high leather boots. She also wore a black military cap on her head, adding a touch of charm to the military style, surpassing the female major next to Tang Zihao in both military and feminine aspects.

As he continued to read, Huan Chu felt that he was about to collapse the tent.

Sitting behind the coffee table is Lu Hao, eating noodles with a serious expression. He holds a pen in his right hand and continuously draws on the map in front of him, clearly contemplating various situations and strategies that may arise.

With someone taking care of Lu Xiaohu now, he no longer has any worries and can fully devote himself to the work of the Gun Sword Team.

Sitting beside him were Zheng Zhi and Jiang He, both of whom had already set aside their chopsticks and were focused on studying the map, occasionally offering suggestions. These two individuals also emerged from the bloody battles with Huan Chu, so they are not very nervous despite the upcoming major battle.

Li Feng is naturally nerveless, he finished the noodles in his bowl and even wanted to grab Ye Hongbo's and Cao He's.

Neither of them went on the expedition with the team. Since there was always food available, they simply gave it to this big eater and started chatting with each other. From Cao He's slightly nervous expression, it can be seen that the two of them are probably discussing about the task this time.

While the members of the operations department were quietly discussing in small groups over breakfast, the team members of the peripheral were chatting and eating together. These twenty people were carefully selected by Huan Chu and Lu Hao from the local people, each of them strong and sturdy men, now dressed in neat military uniforms, at least in terms of momentum, not inferior to regular army.

However, few of these team members have seen blood before, and their faces lack a bit of fierceness. As the big battle approaches, some are excited and thrilled, while others are nervous and fearful, showing various expressions.

They are just fledglings after all.

If it's a mule, take it out for a walk and you'll find out.

While Huan Chu was thinking like this, he completely forgot that most of the twenty people were several years older than him, and he regarded them as juniors from the bottom of his heart.

Experience determines mindset. When it comes to psychological age, he who struggles to survive in the last days may be older than his own parents.

Li Rui sat alone on the outermost sofa eating breakfast.

He did not break his promise and brought his six brothers to the Golden Mountain Hotel last night. Without waiting for Huan Chu to make a decision, he took the initiative to suggest dispersing the people he brought into different departments.

Huan Chu did not do so, but directly threw his six brothers to the security department.

Li Rui and his group make a living by assassination in the base. Although they are not very professional, it's hard to find highly skilled assassins in this post-apocalyptic world.

Huan Chu valued their experience, so these killers turned to deal with other killers, making good use of their abilities.

As for Li Rui, Huan Chu simply kept him by his side, just like Pang Le, without assigning him any position in the Gun Sword Battalion, and let him serve as his personal bodyguard.

Li Rui was quite satisfied with the arrangement, as he and his brothers were also forced by circumstances. He would rather not use his brain and just follow others' orders every day according to his own wishes.

Sitting one seat away from Li Rui were Ruan Liang and Guo Xiaoxiao. Like the others, they were dressed in black military uniforms, but what set them apart was that they were not carrying guns. Instead, they had red cross symbols tied to their sleeves and two large first aid kits placed at their feet.

Huan Chu has become accustomed to fighting without doctors, treating the medical unit he established as a regular hospital, without realizing the need for medical personnel on the battlefield.

It was Ruan Liang who heard the news and actively approached Ye Hongbo before recommending it to Huan Chu.

This is not to say that Ruan Liang is particularly selfless, but in the end times, even in the Gun Sword Team, it is a rule of survival of the fittest, emphasizing one's abilities. If you fail to demonstrate your value, being abandoned by the team is just a matter of time.

Ruan Liang is a surgeon who can hardly play his role in the hotel. Others have long been critical of his position as deputy director of the medical department. If he doesn't show some results soon, his position may be in jeopardy.

For the sake of his wife and children, he also gave it his all.

Guo Xiaoxiao by his side also actively volunteered to participate.

The reason why this female nurse actively participated in such a high-risk mission is simple, because she likes, or admires Huan Chu.

Not just her, almost all the unmarried women in the team who have heard about the boss's heroic deeds at Dongyuan Supermarket admire Huan Chu.

In the end times, the value of money has dropped to its lowest, and strength is what attracts women the most. Huan Chu not only has strength, but also has immense power and lofty status. Not many women dream of it, which seems a bit off.

Unlike other girls, Guo Xiaoxiao is so bold. After being rejected by Huan Chu multiple times, she actually followed him directly to the expedition team.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him admiringly, and Huan Chu felt a pain in his waist. He turned his head to look at Chen Wenwen, who was acting nonchalantly, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
