New Century Swordsman

Chapter 2 Military Invitation

I will take the train back today, so tomorrow's chapter may be later. Let me tell you in advance here.

-----------

The sun is still in the sky. The two stood on the grass and looked at the city less than five kilometers away, which was already faintly discernable. They sighed deeply. A simple sigh contains too much, nostalgia, relaxation, excitement...

After nearly five years of isolation in the deep mountains and forests, no matter how lonely and indifferent people are, there will be more or less a little expectation and throbbing in the hearts of the returning crowd.

"Let's go! Go back and take a hot bath first..." Ling Yu opened her mouth to remind Xiuxiu and walked away.

Xiuxiu was still stunned there. Seeing that Ling Yu had gone far in a few steps, she trotted to catch up and shouted, "Wait for me! I have to eat after taking a shower. I don't want to eat any forest-related food anymore..."

With the departure of the two, the voice full of longing gradually faded in the air. The hot sun dragged the thin figure out of the long shadow, but it could no longer drag their pace...

The distance of five kilometers is only a few seconds for Ling Yu, but it will be much more troublesome to bring Xiuxiu, not to mention that she refuses Ling Yu's kindness.

"This girl..." Ling Yu shook her head helplessly. Anyway, the two of them now have no shortage of time, and they let her go.

In this way, when the two arrived at the periphery of Moben City, it was almost afternoon, and even the hot sun did not have the previous flame and became a little depressed. However, when Ling Yu thought that they had completed a great deal and could return to human society to have a good rest, they encountered another big "trouble"...

"Can't confirm your identity?" After passing through layers of security checks, Ling Yu suddenly learned the news from the young military population. He pointed to his face and said, "My name is Ling Yu, a native of Kunlun Shu City. I went abroad five years ago... Can't you find any of these?"

The young soldier in front of him looks like a man in his early 20s. It is estimated that he has just joined the army and is not qualified to go to the battlefield. He looked at Ling Yu suspiciously and then entered Ling Yu's name on the projection that popped up from the watch.

"I found..." He grinned and was about to say something to Ling Yu, but the expression on his face suddenly froze when he saw the content displayed on the projection. He raised his eyebrows and closed the projection. He looked at Ling Yu and said, "Brother, aren't you here to make use of me?"

"What do you mean?" Ling Yu also heard the strangeness from his tone, and other soldiers nearby also looked over. It was suspicious to return from this position during the war, but now it seems that there is still some identity problems.

"Is it Noah's spy? But this also... Isn't it too lame?"

Everyone can't help but float three dark lines on their heads. While doing their own work, they also pay attention to the situation here. New recruits like them have no chance to go to the battlefield. In addition to watching the battle video, their only job is to do chores at ordinary times.

For these newcomers who have not experienced the cruelty of war, their work is really boring. And now it seems that Ling Yu has become their new "le"...

However, the little soldier on duty didn't think so. He frowned and said, "My meaning is obvious - Ling Yu died five years ago, and only his death list can be found in the national personnel database. You are not this warrior named Ling Yu at all, so before judging your true identity...

You have been arrested. I suspect that you are Noah's spy. You and your partners are not allowed to leave the third barracks until a thorough investigation..."

"Bang!"

A big hand suddenly patted the young soldier on the back of the head without warning, and his 'righteous words' trial declaration had to be interrupted.

"Which eye can tell that they are spies? You are paranoid every day!"

The rough voice has a smell of vicissitudes. Ling Yu has always looked at a man about 35 years old. His face is full of beard and scars at the corners of his eyes, and his wrinkled military uniform fully reflect that he is different from the young man in front of him. He is a complete veteran.

"Good sir!!!"

The new recruits around suddenly put down everything in their hands and shouted at the sloppy man in front of them. But he waved his hand casually, scanned it for a week, and suddenly roared--

"How many times have I told you, don't call me officer, call me Brother Xiao!"

"Yes, sir! Hello, Brother Xiao!"

The man nodded with satisfaction, and the scene suddenly eased after a farce. He turned his head and looked at Ling Yu.

"My name is Xiao Da, and we soldiers are also rude people and don't know any etiquette reception. If you don't mind, you can go to the barracks dormitory for a while and have a casual meal together in the evening. It's not too late to leave when you come out.

Ling Yu has already heard the meaning of the words, but he also understands that the other party has given him enough face, not to mention that no matter how arrogant Ling Yu is, she does not believe that she can fight against the world's largest violent machine. Although she knew that the other party was a naked stick and radish, Ling Yu could only accept it silently.

Just as Ling Yu was about to leave with Xiao Da, she was suddenly stopped by him. He pointed to the metal box behind Ling Yu and said, "It is forbidden to carry any weapons in the military rest area, which is the first article of the military region decree..."

"Can..." Xiuxiu, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward to hear Xiao Da's words and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ling Yu.

Seeing Ling Yu's firm eyes, Xiuxiu curled her lips and retreated back with her pink mouth.

"I don't want anyone to see what's in here..."

"That's natural! Please!"

Looking at Ling Yu, who was only two steps away in front of him, Xiao Da gently put down his hanging heart.

"Too strong... The hidden pressure just now is at least the strong man on the second floor!"

He silently thought that maybe these recruits could not feel it, but every veteran like him crawled out of the pile of dead, and his perception of power was far greater than that of ordinary people. Just now, when the recruit said that he was going to detain the two of them, Xiao Da, not far away, immediately felt the strong and majestic pressure on Ling Yu's body, as if it would tear him up the next second!

Ling Yu did not consider Xiao Da's idea, but Xiuxiu was anxious. She came to Ling Yu's side and asked quietly, "Brother Ling Yu, didn't you tell you to leave when the boss gave you the sword?"

"BOSS..." Ling Yu said the name, and her body couldn't help shivering. That pervert..." Ling Yu closed her eyes and took a deep breath before suppressing all kinds of emotions in her heart. Of course, this simple action also made Xiao Da's scalp numb and faintly swallowed a mouthful of foam.

"I can't help it. I admit that I am much stronger than before, but no matter how strong I become, I can't compete with the army. What's more, with that box, no matter how strange the sword is, it can't do anything.

The life of soldiers has always been synonymous with simplicity, and the military lounge that Ling Yu saw is indeed the same. There is nothing but a few beds and a pair of coffee tables on the table. However, even this makes Ling Yu feel extremely comfortable. After all, there will never be a bed in the deep mountains and forests.

After agreeing on dinner time with Xiao Da, Ling Yu and the two finally had a moment to rest.

Lying on a **, Ling Yu stared at the snow-white ceiling. After a long time, she seemed to make up her mind and said, "Xiu, you have suffered a lot in the past five years... Five years ago, if it hadn't been for you, I might have died somewhere on the earth...

I don't know how the Shenpang Company is, whether the woman named Su Zixuan is still alive, and I have a faint sense of danger from the first step out of the forest, far and near, I'm really afraid...

I'm afraid that you will suddenly die in front of me like the snake spirit boy, so..."

"Brother Ling Yu!" Xiuxiu suddenly interrupted Ling Yu's words. She sighed a long breath, and her white arm blocked her eyes.

"If you can't protect me as a strong man, who else in the world can protect me!"

"But..."

"Since the death of the snake spirit five years ago, although Ling Yu, you have not shown it, I can see the change in mentality - but you have to understand that you are not a god, and it is impossible to let everything end in a perfect state."

For a moment, the whole lounge was extremely silent, and only Xiuxiu breathed gently, reminding that time was still passing. After half a sound, Ling Yu slowly opened her mouth.

"Sorry, I'm still too weak..."

At the same time, in a secret conference room of the military region.

"Captain Xiao Da, have you found out the origin of these two people in the end?" In the dark conference room, the projection of Ling Yu and Xiuxiu floated in mid-air.

Xiao Da immediately stood up, saluted all the people present, opened the documents in the watch, and distributed them to everyone before saying, "Ling Yu, 25 years old, martial artist. The battle of Shenpang's headquarters five years ago was carried out under his leadership. It was also after that battle that he completely disappeared and did not reappear until today five years later.

The martial artist's strength level in the data is nine levels, but obviously this information is completely inaccurate. I initially estimate that his strength is two levels, or even stronger! It is worth mentioning that he has many charges, the most serious of which is a kidnapping case..."

"Ling Yu..." The man sitting in the center muttered in a low voice. The second floor of the stairs was a good strength even in the army, and he even had the idea of pulling Ling Yu to the barracks. However, calmly, he still suppressed this idea, looked up at Xiuxiu's picture and asked, "Where is this little girl?"

"Reporter, this girl doesn't show anything in any information..."

"Unknown population..." The man rubbed the scum on his chin and thought about something. Suddenly--

"Boom!!!"

Endless terror and pressure broke out in the distance, and the force was mixed with suffocating darkness and blood, and even the senior officer who was thinking couldn't help but think for a moment.

"This is..."
