Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 55 Perilous and lofty, yet unshakeable! [Please continue reading! Please vote!]

After hanging up the phone, Tao Jianhua was about to speak when he saw his trusted lieutenant standing in front of him, bent over, rubbing his hands together, with a fawning expression.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Pengfei chuckled, took Tao Jianhua a few steps, and then whispered a conciliatory reconciliation.

"Company commander, how about... you let me take Chu Zhao back?"

"Is it really necessary to lock someone up for such a trivial matter?"

"Don't worry! I will deal with this seriously when I get back..."

"You handle this..."

Tao Jianhua glanced at Chu Zhao not far away, then abruptly stopped speaking. He glared at Ye Pengfei before continuing.

"What the hell are you going to do about it!"

"Do I know you too well? You might criticize him to his face, but behind his back, aren't you going to encourage Chu Zhao to keep up the good work?"

Tao Jianhua saw through Ye Pengfei's little scheme, and Ye Pengfei immediately showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, but he still did not intend to give up.

This is what a squad leader in the army is all about: fiercely protecting his own!

Not to mention that his conflict with Chu Zhao has already been resolved.

Even if Chu Zhao hadn't fainted, even if he hadn't received that second-class merit medal, Ye Pengfei would still have stood up without hesitation at this moment!

Regardless of his relationship with Chu Zhao, now that he's under his command, Chu Zhao is his soldier!

If a squad leader doesn't even protect his own soldiers, he can't be a squad leader!

"Company Commander..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"

"I know what I'm doing!"

Tao Jianhua didn't seem to intend to argue with Ye Pengfei much about this matter. He gave a few perfunctory words and then called out to Chu Zhao, who was standing to the side.

"Kid, come here."

"...ah?"

"Yes! They're calling you!"

When Tao Jianhua emphasized it again, Chu Zhao, who was slightly confused, realized that he was the "little devil" that Tao Jianhua was talking about.

Chu Zhao could hardly remember how long it had been since anyone had called him that.

The first person to call him that was his company commander after he joined the company in his previous life, and a fourth-term sergeant who could be called the "pillar of the company".

After Chu Zhao became a platoon leader, the company commander became a battalion commander, and the fourth-term sergeant became a sixth-term sergeant.

Chu Zhao also changed from "little devil" to "Xiao Zhao".

And the two of them... were also involved in the wildfire that led to Chu Zhao's rebirth.

I wonder how they are doing...

I took a deep breath.

Chu Zhao forced himself to pull his thoughts away from this "past event".

For him, these things are all in the past.

But for the former squad leader and sergeant, these things had not yet happened!

Chu Zhao has no reason to be sad, because he has the opportunity to save his comrades who sacrificed themselves in the wildfire, and even prevent the wildfire from happening again!

They've all been reborn, and they even have a cheat code to help them.

In the past, Chu Zhao felt small and powerless in the face of the grandeur of nature.

But starting now... no, starting from the moment of rebirth.

There was only one thing Chu Zhao had to do.

Change the future!

In an instant.

Even though Chu Zhao was standing still and didn't make any movement, both Tao Jianhua and Ye Pengfei felt a powerful aura emanating from him.

Just like the Karakoram Mountains they guard, so perilous and lofty, yet unshakeable!

"Little brat."

Chu Zhao looked up and met Tao Jianhua's gaze, who had his hand on his shoulder.

"take it easy."

Seriously.

Hearing that name again out of the blue feels surprisingly warm and familiar.

Chu Zhao sniffed, and after a long while, he answered in a muffled voice.

"I wasn't nervous."

Seeing this, Tao Jianhua and Ye Pengfei immediately exchanged a glance, realizing that something was wrong!

broken!

Were you really scared by this kid? Why did you suddenly become so listless?

Thinking of this, Tao Jianhua, the commanding officer, immediately comforted Chu Zhao, the new recruit.

Don't overthink it.

"Personally speaking, you were absolutely right to beat up that kid. I fucking wanted to punch him a couple of times myself!"

"But where are we?"

"This is the military! There's discipline! We can't act based on personal likes or dislikes!"

"Don't even mention it's you; if I got into a fight with someone, our commander would put me in solitary confinement just the same way!"

This is the military.

This is the people's army!

Just as Tao Jianhua said.

The soldiers here come from different backgrounds, have different personalities, and have different origins.

But they are united under the same banner, working towards the same goal, protecting the same land and the ordinary people living on it!

What unites them, besides their faith, is the discipline that treats everyone equally, from officers to new recruits!

"Company commander, I understand."

Seeing Tao Jianhua's nervous appearance, Chu Zhao quickly adjusted his state, paused for a moment, and then added very seriously.

"But if I could do it all over again, I'd still rush up and beat that son of a bitch to a pulp!"

"Hey! You little brat, you're a real troublemaker!"

Tao Jianhua affectionately ruffled Chu Zhao's hair, then raised his hand and pushed open the door to the solitary confinement cell.

"Come on, let's see where you'll be staying for the next few days."

"yes!"

With a touch of pilgrimage-like reverence, Chu Zhao followed Tao Jianhua into the solitary confinement room that had once housed countless troublemakers.

Behind the double wooden doors are eight separate small rooms, four on the left and four on the right. There is also a gray painted metal panel above the left side of the door, which looks like the place where meals are delivered every day.

Chu Zhao noticed that at the door of each small private room, there was a small wooden board about the size of a soapbox suspended in the air, and a key was placed on each board.

This design is clearly intended to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

If needed, the door can be opened immediately if there is someone outside the locked room, without having to go through the trouble of finding the person who has the key.

Under Chu Zhao's gaze, Tao Jianhua walked to the end of the corridor, picked up the key on the wooden board, and clicked open the door to the small single room.

Chu Zhao craned his neck, peering over Tao Jianhua's shoulder, and curiously examined the facilities in the private room.

To be honest, it's very shabby.

A small single bed placed against the wall, with a somewhat tattered mattress on the bed, a washbasin, and a squat toilet right next to the washbasin.

This is all the furnishings in this small, eight-square-meter confinement room.

To Chu Zhao's surprise, this confined room actually had windows!

It is important to know that in order to avoid accidents, solitary confinement rooms are usually not equipped with windows. Even if windows were originally installed when the room was built, they must be sealed with cement and bricks after it is designated as a solitary confinement room.

Tao Jianhua arranged this solitary confinement room for Chu Zhao, which was clearly a preferential treatment for Chu Zhao and showed that he trusted Chu Zhao very much.

"How was it, kid?"

"The training team only has this one solitary confinement cell with a window. You can look at the scenery when you have nothing to do."

"Once training officially starts tomorrow, you can practice drills with the companies near the main building..."

"Wait a minute! I almost forgot!"

"You don't need to practice your drills at all!"

At this point, Tao Jianhua's voice suddenly paused, as he rubbed the fine stubble on his chin and hesitated whether to ask Chu Zhao about the question in his mind.

For example... does Chu Zhao have any relatives in the Jincheng military district...?

But before Tao Jianhua could make up his mind, Chu Zhao, who had already surveyed the environment of the confinement room, suddenly looked at Tao Jianhua and Ye Pengfei and tentatively spoke.

"Company commander, squad leader."

"Could you get me a computer? The kind for office use?"
