“That’s great! You have been a.s.signed to the third section of the Fox Platoon. This is your military badge. Do not lose it. These are the rules and regulations of the base. I will give you one day to memorize them…”
As he explained, he brought w.a.n.g Zheng to the Military Logistics Area.
A military quartermaster appeared and said with a smile, “Aiyoh, Old Man Wen, I heard that the unlucky guy from the Solar System didn’t die! Has he reported for duty?”
“Stop your nonsense. This is that guy. I will leave him with you.”
Second Lieutenant Wen turned around and left after giving some instructions.
“Unlucky guy, my name is Wu Fufeng. I will spare you the nonsense. To keep things simple, I am the boss of the Military Logistics Area. Remember me and do not mistake someone else as me. Which platoon are you a.s.signed to?” Wu Fufeng seemed old to w.a.n.g Zheng. The old man was examining w.a.n.g Zheng and was curious. Just how did this unlucky guy survive?
“Sir, you can call me w.a.n.g Zheng. I was a.s.signed to section 3 of the Fox Platoon.”
“The third section? Hehe, you are quite lucky. The third section is quite famous here. Go and collect three sets of military uniforms, one set of living amenities, and pa.s.s me your military badge.”
The badge that Second Lieutenant gave w.a.n.g Zheng was without any details. Soon, Wu Fufeng had entered data about w.a.n.g Zheng on it. Solar System Federation, the third section and etc…
w.a.n.g Zheng followed the procedures and collected all the items. Under the guidance of a private, he arrived at the bunk area for the soldiers.
When he just entered the room of the third section, he saw a muscular man who was doing a handstand push-up. He looked a little fierce. He wasn’t using his palm but 10 fingers for the push-ups.
Several of the section mates were gathered together and watching a video. When they saw w.a.n.g Zheng walking in, they only raised their heads and took a look before refocusing their attention on the video.
w.a.n.g Zheng walked around the muscular guy and found an empty bed. He threw all the military items on the bed. Just when he was about to sit down, the muscular guy who was doing handstand push-ups stood up. “Wait!”
w.a.n.g Zheng smiled and said, “I’m the new recruit, w.a.n.g Zheng. Please take care of me in the future.”
The muscular guy shrugged his shoulders and said, “It would be the same if I took care of you or not. For your own good, choose another bed.”
w.a.n.g Zheng was taken aback. Just when he was about to change to a new bed, he could hear a soft and flirtatious voice saying,” What is the matter? Are you afraid that I would eat him up? Rookie, I dare you to change your position.”
There was a curtain at the most inner corner of the bunk. At this moment, it was lifted aside and a beautiful lady with a hot body walked out from it. w.a.n.g Zheng looked across. He did not have the time to take a good look at the appearance of the woman as his eyes had uncontrollably fixed on the pair of gigantic b.o.o.bs. Oh my G.o.d! Was that the legendary 36D? It could even be F!
“Is it nice to look at?” The beautiful lady winked and swayed flirtatiously. It seemed that she wanted to let everyone know that she was a ripe peach and could make a man feel great or like dying.
“It’s nice…” w.a.n.g Zheng nodded his head subconsciously. However, he soon realised that it wasn’t right. “Cough, cough, Leader, w.a.n.g Zheng reporting here!”
“The response of the rookie isn’t bad, but he seems to be too young. Sister likes it. Where are you from? You do not have to be restrained in the bunk. I am s.h.i.+yue, but I’m also known as the Red Fox,” said Xin s.h.i.+yue flirtatiously. She examined w.a.n.g Zheng with a gaze that seemed to pa.s.s right through him. She was impressed with the observation skills of this guy as he was able to identify her as the leader of the section.
The beautiful lady sat on the bed that w.a.n.g Zheng had chosen.
w.a.n.g Zheng took a look at the muscular guy. The other guy gave him a “you’re on your own look” and smiled. w.a.n.g Zheng gave a self-introduction, saying, “I’m w.a.n.g Zheng and I’m from the Solar System Federation.”
“Solar System Federation? Why would you be sent to us?” The other members stared at w.a.n.g Zheng with unhappiness. The Solar System Federation has been weak for a long time. “It must be the plot of the Silver Fox to send this useless thing over!”
w.a.n.g Zheng didn’t know if he should cry or laugh. This was beyond his control. The Solar System had become synonymous with weaklings. Moreover, the Solar System rarely partic.i.p.ated in international matters.
“What do you know and what are you good in?”
The muscular guy also frowned. The Solar System Federation did not have a good name in the Milky Way Alliance. Only the Solar System Federation would have incidents where they accidentally shot down a transport s.h.i.+p.
“I know a little of everything. I can also do repairs and operate mecha.” w.a.n.g Zheng was still very confident with mecha.
w.a.n.g Zheng’s reply immediately led to laughter. It wasn’t ridicule, but due to the fact that they felt that this student soldier was very childish.
“This little guy has quite an imposing tone! I am Jing Long, the deputy leader of the third section.” The muscular guy flexed his chest full of elastic muscles. “It seems that he has gone gaga over our section leader. Where have you served before this?”
“I have not served before. I am from the Ares College on Earth, where I was in the second year of my interns.h.i.+p to be a soldier.”
“Second year? Student soldier?”
Clearly, no one had seen his information and were stunned when they heard this. This was because although they had soldiers from different countries for various reasons, they all had unique points. This was their first encounter with a student soldier.
“Being a student is great. How youthful and full of dreams. Look at you guys, just ambling through life. Other than muscles, your brains are all hollow. Let me tell you that no one is to bully him!” teased the Red fox.
“Red Fox, we are still within our teenage years. Why would we bully him?”
Red Fox took another glance at w.a.n.g Zheng. The truth was that she felt a little helpless. The compet.i.tion between the different sections had been intense recently, and everyone was trying to grab the highly-skilled people. She was too slow and had been thrown such people.
“Alright, muscular man. Bring this student soldier around to familiarize himself with the environment. Re-examine him and see if you can pa.s.s him any mission that you have with you.”
The Red Fox looked at her Skylink from time to time. Clearly, there was something important as she pa.s.sed command to the muscular guy. She left the bunk in a hurry after waving to the rest. She was only here to take a look but was more disappointed than expected.
Jing Long coughed a few times and said, “Let’s go, student soldier. Brother shall bring you around to familiarize you with the base.”
w.a.n.g Zheng smiled and nodded. He felt that the people here were actually rather nice. Although they were belittling him a little, at least they weren’t thinking of bullying him. He had heard in the past that pranking and punis.h.i.+ng rookies was a tradition in the army and that it was the only way to be included in the team. Student w.a.n.g had already made preparations to be bullied, but he did not expect his captain to have the lethal 36D as weapon.
After bringing w.a.n.g Zheng around the camp, Jing Long explained, “It is simple. The buildings of the base can be separated into three colors: red, yellow and green. The red zones are restricted zones and no one is to enter without the orders of the captain. It would be best for you to stay away from them. The yellow zones are weapon armories. One could enter based on the permission on the military badge. The mecha garage of our team is part of it too. As for the green zones, they are entertainment areas. The conditions here are not too shabby. We have a swimming pool, a gym, and other basic stuff. Oh yeah, the t.i.tat.i.tan Star is currently under communication restrictions. If you want to communicate with the outside, you can use the communication platform over here… Also, the most important point is that you are part of the Red Fox Team. The Red Fox is our only boss. If there is anyone who would vilify the Red Fox Team, you have to screw him even if he is just a broom. We only have one requirement for our team, and that is not to be a coward. Do you understand? ”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Do not address me as ‘Sir.’ You can call me ‘Jing Long’ or ‘Hercules,'” said Jing Long with a smile. He did not have any intention to bully a student soldier. The style of the Red Fox was that they were more interested in troublemakers.
The entire base occupied a huge area. In addition to the main fox squadron, there were also multiple different types of soldiers, such as communication soldiers and maintenance soldiers. Among which, the majority were infantry troops that specialised in mobile armor. Different types of squadrons would have different a.r.s.enals based on their number.
After roughly introducing w.a.n.g Zheng to the different places of the base, Jing Long brought w.a.n.g Zheng to a yellow garage. At the front of the garage was a picture of a flaming red fox with a burning fire as its tail. At the bottom right corner was a “III”, symbolising the third section.
“Remember clearly that we are the third section, also known as the Red Fox Section. This is because the nickname of our captain is Red Fox. ”
Dudu…
A sensor light suddenly shot from the device at the side. A warning sound was issued. Jing Long raised his military badge and scanned it. The light faded away and the huge door started folding up gradually. Ka-cha ka-cha. The lights in the garage turned on one after another. Instantly, the garage had become well-lit.
Over 10 mecha were arranged neatly at one corner of the garage. At the other side were three mecha cranes arranged in a pyramid shape. Those cranes were specifically used to equip the mecha, maintaining the mecha, and repairing the mecha.
“This is the mecha garage for the Red Fox Section. For mecha warriors like us, the mecha are as important as our sons…”
Just as Jing Long completed his sentence, his face turned black. Under the scorching white light, it was clear that the 10 mecha weren’t very clean. Some of the depressed surfaces even had mud stains. Clearly, someone had only done a simple cleaning of the mecha after their training. No one had completed a full cleaning seriously. Lucas, the lazy b.u.m, was known to always slack off. If it was discovered during checks, they would be scolded by the captain.
“Cough, your mission for the next few days is to clean the mecha thoroughly and complete regular maintenance. I believe you should have learned about the basic maintenance of mecha?”
w.a.n.g Zheng nodded and said, “I have some interns.h.i.+p experience in a mecha repair shop.”
“Haha, that’s great, Brother. I didn’t expect you to be an all-rounded talent. You will have a bright future. I will leave this place to you. This is your first mission from the great Red Fox Section. You must complete it seriously.”
“Yes, Vice Captain!”
“You do not have to be so serious. It’s more important to complete your task seriously.” Jing Long smiled and patted w.a.n.g Zheng.
To have a silly free laborer, Jing Long was ready to offer a few comforting words. However, a voice from outside rushed him. “Are you done, Jing Long? Hurry up or the car will leave.”
Jing Long took a look at w.a.n.g Zheng and said, “Alright, you can familiarize yourself first. I still had some matters to handle… You brats, wait for me!…”
Jing Long rushed out of the garage while cursing.
w.a.n.g Zheng took a deep breath and turned around. Looking at these mecha, they were truly different. This was because huge modifications were done for the t.i.tat.i.tan Star. The most unique point was that there were no energy s.h.i.+elds or laser-series weapons. The armor was especially thick, with menacing-looking spikes. Clearly, it was designed in response to fight the people of t.i.ta.
However, those mud stains were really eyesores. A mech should be bright and s.h.i.+ny!
