Chapter 120: 'New Year's Gift' (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Su Xi certainly didn't stay at Zhang's house, a good show she had been expecting for a long time.

  In the training base in the suburbs, the orderly quantitative training is still continuing. The people in the training field are not affected by the New Year's atmosphere and are still working hard to train. Those who have become logistical support outside the training field are also not complaining.

  This month, the training base was bustling with activity, expanding from just over a hundred people to four hundred. The deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region came in person, and the virus had no temper. Su Xixi contacted Zhang Shidong and heard that it was the big shot of the Military Commission who had spoken out. Zhang Shidong also had no temper, but his lack of temper did not mean he had no demands. He directly resolved the issue of building the "Dream Palace" on the land he wanted, and still possessed the highest level of authority. The thorn in his side was directly kicked out.

  While training, a special team was building and perfecting the facilities inside the base. When Zhang Shidong returned, the outer shell hadn't changed, but the inner core had undergone tremendous changes.

  There is a virus, Down Maree is one after another, selected from the elite of the whole army, trained for 20 days and all have no temper, the despicable tactics of urban warfare virus are absolutely classic, everyone has been beaten without temper, not only that, any military skill project, you can challenge him, armed cross-country, hand-to-hand combat, firearms use, reconnaissance counter-reconnaissance.

  Viruses are all top-notch, instructing him to slightly lose to Hidden, Gou Dou Tong Tong practices with him every day and his level is catching up, the talent of Gun Xiaoyi makes people amazed, apart from this, Viruses is just the object of worship in the entire training base.

  There are still people who mention Zhang Shidong, and use his almost supernatural strength to make a point. Those new soldiers from the Bing Wang Gate don't believe it or acknowledge it, thinking it's impossible. They only recognize viruses. It wasn't until New Year's Eve that they finally submitted and witnessed the power beyond their ultimate virus.

  A truck arrived at the training base in the afternoon and remained unloaded, quietly parked there. Everyone was guessing what it was. After Zhang Shidong returned, he pulled open the tarpaulin at the back of the truck to reveal twenty boxes of Maotai liquor, three hundred soft Chinese cigarettes, various expensive snacks, new year's gifts for each person, as well as receipts for remittances sent to the hometowns of the soldiers in training. Without distinction between insiders and outsiders, as long as they were within the training base, whether they were from the logistics battalion or the guard company, everyone received a 10,000 yuan remittance.

  "This is a New Year's gift personally given by Instructor Zhang to everyone, tomorrow there will be computers and mobile phones delivered, ensuring that each person can make phone calls home, and those with conditions can also conduct video connections."

  Director Zhang personally?

  How much money will I have if I add these things to that deposit slip?

  The loudspeaker blared with Zhang Shidong's voice: "Originally, I should have accompanied everyone to spend the New Year together, but thinking about it, there's no point in being with a group of rough old men. It's better to hug beautiful women and spend the New Year with them. How about this one next to me? Is anyone feeling impulsive? If so, go find a wall corner to... Ah, want to hit me? I'm waiting eagerly, just afraid you guys don't have what it takes. As we're all instructors, we should give everyone some practical benefits. Xixi, you're in charge of using the super-large projector screen to cut and display the surveillance footage. Old Knife, can't wait, right? Today, I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you and Virus an opportunity. Aren't you two known for being the best at coordinating as a duo? Let's play a game!"

  A boorish big man and a lecherous uncle, looking at them like this, the two really have a master-apprentice style, equally repulsive.

  "Brother Dong, get the chrysanthemum ready, tonight I will make you very comfortable."

  "Xiao Dongzi, you're too arrogant, forgetting how I took you in back then."

  A simulated city in the warehouse, guns are too boring for three people, one person with a dagger, entering from both ends of the simulated city.

  Su Xi sat in front of the computer, her ten slender fingers tapping on the keyboard. On the huge projection screen hanging from the ceiling of the warehouse, three different angles locked onto Zhang Shidong, Lao Dao, and Virus. A connoisseur could tell at a glance that these three people were just moving, but their frequency of movement stunned the whole scene. Except for over a hundred people who had been stimulated by Zhang Shidong, the remaining two hundred or so people put away their discontented expressions, sitting upright and looking at the visual switch on the projection screen.

  Soon, they found out that even with super professional personnel switching visual perspectives, they would still have a dizzying feeling. This was just looking at the existing situation; what about when it came to actual combat? Every single person was trembling with fear, perhaps not even having the strength to resist. It was only then that they discovered the virus had not revealed its full strength.

  Ten minutes later, the breathing on site was in sync with a rhythm, holding back, not wanting to exhale until the body couldn't hold it anymore, afraid that the rhythm of breathing would waste the hard-won viewing rhythm. Several blocks, a city battle, originally just for anti-terrorism preparations, more for emergency response, but in the hands of these three people, everything became different, they turned fighting into art, all the soldiers watching believed that whether it was urban warfare or high mountain jungle or icy snowy land, any environment was the same to them, ignoring any environment, effortlessly mastering any environment.

  A simple wooden board, don't step on it lightly. Although many materials in this simulated city are reduced, the three of them still easily set up many traps. Some of the complex chain traps left people speechless. Outside the traps, there were countless warning devices. In the entire simulated city, any detail would be utilized by them. Watching both sides effortlessly dodge each other's traps and warning devices, Su Xixi timely presented a 3D stereo map on the projection screen. With the image, everything became simple. The three of them were desperately compressing each other's space. Now, the huge warehouse only had a small area left near the square, and the remaining areas were filled with dense devices.

  "Are you ready for the final battle?" Old Knife entered the battlefield, and with the virus in the same state, his usual slovenly and woeful appearance was gone. At this time, he was confidently prepared to enjoy the fruits of victory.

  Head-on showdown, one against two, Lao Dao is confident.

  "Let me tell you, the two of you are already dead. As your instructor, I'm taking pity on those trainees who have never seen a real fight, and giving you both a chance to show off."

  Zhang Shidong emerged from the old knife and virus calculation area, pointing to the back of the two people. The scene was filled with stifled laughter for a long time. Near the crotch of the two men's pants, there was a small piece of trainer bullet dye, which meant that Zhang Shidong could have taken advantage of them at any time.

  The virus is nothing, always following Zhang Shidong, the old knife can't hold on anymore. Although he's older and retired from the front line, he's never been lax for half a moment. Not only was the virus his apprentice, but even Zhang Shidong back then was selected by him, and he watched him surpass the peak bit by bit. He just doesn't want to admit that he can't do it anymore.

  It's finally come to this day, a face-to-face showdown where they lost, but it actually lifted the psychological burden off Lao Dao's shoulders. It wasn't that he couldn't lose, but rather that he had never lost before. Now that he has lost, it's all good. As for their reputation, it's also gone. Lao Dao and Virus exchanged a glance, and if previously their cooperation was limited to mutual support, after losing once they truly entered a master-disciple mode.

  This time, Lao Dao and Virus lost even more miserably. Although the two of them are very strong, they still haven't surpassed human limits. In a one-on-one match, Tongtong, Yin, and Niu Yeshou can all hold their own and won't lose too badly. In a 2v1 situation, there's even a possibility of winning.

  Facing Zhang Shidong, when he only needed to use his absolute strength to crush the two of them, playing a fighting game was completely incomparable. The first collision made Virus frown and retreat to the side, while the second blow directly sent Lao Dao flying backward for over a dozen steps, with his blocking arms losing sensation in a short period of time.

  "Look!" Zhang Shidong shouted.

  Su Xi's switching speed was faster, and Zhang Shidong was seen navigating through the simulated city, with the dagger in his hand like a sapper's mine detector. As he passed by, the dagger also passed by, and one by one, the traps that were quite difficult for everyone to see were easily destroyed. The largest chain trap set up by the virus and Lao Dao lost its effectiveness in front of Zhang Shidong within thirty seconds, becoming a pile of scrap metal.

  I'm thoroughly convinced.

  Putting aside his character and moral integrity, Zhang Shidong used two performances to thoroughly conquer everyone.

  Lao Dao shook his hand, rolling up the sleeves on both sides, and the red swelling on his forearm bulged; the virus lifted his clothes, revealing a large black and purple lump on his shoulder.

  "Let the beautiful woman upstairs give me a flying kiss, and set a record for you today."

  Zhang Shidong seemed to be having fun, provoking Su Xixi. Amidst the cheers of hundreds of people, Su Xixi calmly continued to operate the computer. Soon, a naked photo of a baby appeared on the projector screen.

  "Alright! I give up, I give up." Zhang Shidong repeatedly bowed and apologized. In front of a top-notch hacker, any secret was not a secret as long as it was in the network coverage area.

  "Oh!"

  The scene erupted in cheers as Zhang Shidong made an unassisted climb, his body seemingly like Spiderman's, with hands and feet that seemed to have magnetic force, grasping onto tiny protrusions to swing up his entire body, whooshing, he flipped onto the passageway upstairs, pulling Su Xixi along.

  This record, the trainees in the base know that this life is broken and hopeless, and they will never let Zhang Shidong perform anything like setting a record again, it's too depressing.

  Zhang Shidong got on the car and started it, leaving the base without caring about Lao Dao.

  The car quieted down, able to make noise in front of outsiders, but the two privately got along forever quietly, once creating a record of not speaking for three months, relying solely on eye contact.

  "Are you doing this on purpose? Lao Dao has seen it, he won't worship you like a virus and not report to his superiors. Your easy days are numbered... the country won't let you idle around..."

  The latter half of the sentence was left unspoken by Su Xixi, but Zhang Shidong understood.

  Can't let you idle away, can't let you become an unstable factor, you're too strong, strong enough to make the top wary.

  PS: Thanks for kexing's reward!
