The frequent life-and-death experiences and fighting side by side have boosted Chen Yingjie’s prestige as the fourth captain, to the point where even the other three captains speak of him with admiration and respect.
The person who had been resting with closed eyes suddenly opened them. Xu Qigang’s deep eyes, tinged with blood, flashed a mont of confusion as he looked at the multitude of lights before him.
"Captain!" Chen Yingjie excitedly grasped his hand, "Captain... we... we all must take care of ourselves."
The two of them have been inseparable during this period. Mainly, Xu Qigang was worried that Chen Yingjie might do sothing foolish out of guilt and remorse, so he kept him close at all tis.
In fact, how could Chen Yingjie not be worried about Xu Qigang? After ng Fan’s death, he beca the person who understood Xu Qigang the best, and the more he understood, the more he worried.
This kind of pain, as if carrying a mountain on one’s back and walking on a blade, where every breath of air is a tornt, would cause anyone to collapse.
Yet the captain is steadfastly holding on, though it’s uncertain how long he can continue to do so.
So initially, it was Xu Qigang watching over Chen Yingjie. But this situation has long since quietly reversed, becoming Chen Yingjie watching over Xu Qigang.
Xu Qigang remained silent for a long ti and did not respond to Chen Yingjie’s words.
"Captain, everyone is waiting for you!" Chen Yingjie was extrely anxious. He constantly hoped for a promise from his captain, but each ti he was disappointed.
From the driver’s seat, Renault drove with teary eyes, gritting his teeth and pressing the accelerator more fiercely.
Finally, the jeep made a drifting stop at the entrance of the headquarters.
"Captain, we’ve arrived!" Renault, like an agile monkey, suddenly leaped from the driver’s seat to the back door of the vehicle, helping Xu Qigang open the door.
"Captain..."
"Captain..."
In front, Zhou Hong and others stood, their excited hands clenched into fists. They, the ones who stayed behind in the group, had not seen their captain for a very long ti.
Since the sister-in-law was kidnapped, they heard the bad news...
Suddenly, Li Duoxi greeted them with a commanding presence, "War Wolf Rescue Team Third Squad Captain, Li Duoxi, awaiting the return of the captain."
"War Wolf Rescue Team First Squad Captain, Wu Houhai, awaiting the return of the captain."
"War Wolf Rescue Team Second Squad Captain, Chen Baoshan, awaiting the return of the captain."
"War Wolf Rescue Team Administrative Director, Shangguan Tao, awaiting the return of the captain."
"..."
Each greeting was powerful and resonant, their montum surging like a rainbow, with each movent and voice causing a sharp wind sound. Looking up, the comrades who should have been asleep were already neatly dressed, standing in a column in the training grounds inside the gate, waiting for their captain’s return.
The hearts that had been tightly strung finally relaxed.
Since Xu Qigang took Chen Yingjie to the Southern Border, the comrades of the War Wolf Rescue Team had never had a day of peace.
The land of the Southern Border, for the comrades of the War Wolf Rescue Team, was different; it’s where they shed blood and sacrificed.
Xu Qigang stood against the light at the front of the car, the jeep’s headlights forming halos behind him. He silently gazed at everyone, his limbs feeling as heavy as a thousand jin.
Even though he was exhausted and in pain, his posture remained upright and sturdy, like a millennium-old pine, like an unsheathed legendary sword. He slowly raised his right hand, solemnly returning the greeting.
"I’m back." Perhaps due to his lack of words, his voice was low, hoarse, bearing a trace of the vicissitudes of life.
"Oh! The captain is back, the captain is back..."
In an instant, the entire headquarters was engulfed in thunderous cheers.
Zhou Hong smiled wryly; they had originally agreed to keep it low-key, not to spread the news for the ti being. Now that’s ruined, and before dawn, the whole Northern District will probably know the captain is back.
