Chapter 869: Chapter 574 Rookie Special Forces Soldier’s First Task (Part 1)_2

"I’ve given it some thought," Youyou said with a smile, as Jing Youlan pondered a little more, "Qiaozi."

Thousand-Mile Eye: "...Isn’t that the name of my sister-in-law’s sea-green Qing? What’s the point of constantly squabbling over code names with someone else?" Utterly speechless. "You could choose a code name that’s a bit closer to yourself; like, for instance, I... My eyes are exceptionally good, so I’m called Thousand-Mile Eye." Wu Ya’s mouth is especially crow-like, so he’s called Wu Ya, Xigua’s head is particularly round, so he’s called Xigua... and so on.

Jing Youlan raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.

"Actually, I was just kidding," looking at him, Jing Youlan let out a chuckle, "Let’s go with Eagle then, the name seems pretty cool and it’s easy to remember." Cough cough, Jing Youlan didn’t mention that he had searched on Baidu for a long time without finding a name he liked and just randomly picked one.

Thousand-Mile Eye looked at him.

Great, why did he feel like this kid was picking a fight with Little Qiaozi? Eagle, why didn’t he just go with sea-green Qing instead, that’s a bit more handsome.

Jing Youlan implied that he really had considered it, but of course, a two-character name was more convenient to pronounce than a three-character one.

Heh, one could imagine the expressions of the others at the time. This group of kids, indeed very interesting.

"So, what code name did you pick?" asked another person beside Zhou Yicen, would this one have also picked something random? They felt like this batch of new recruits was quite a unique bunch.

However, they liked it; they liked individuals with personality. Without personality, what kind of Special Forces Soldier were they?

"Owl." Zhou Yicen said slowly.

Everyone: "...". They were rendered speechless.

Indeed, just a bunch of guys picking a fight with eagles.

These kids couldn’t be picking code names with ’eagle’ in them just because they were Ying Sun, right? They hadn’t even asked what the others were called.

Suddenly, they felt like imposters themselves.

"Alright then, Eagle, Owl, looking forward to working with you in the future," Xigua said with a smile as he looked at the two.

"Where are we headed now?" Zhou Yicen asked Xigua. They had followed along to carry out a mission, but they still didn’t know their destination or what the mission actually was.

And they were in civilian dress.

"We’re going to C Country," Xigua replied. "The mission is quite simple; we’re just going to transport an item back." It was said to be an ancient artifact that belonged to us and had been acquired by a Leader in C Country. The relations between C Country and us had always been alright, so they’re probably returning it to us.

However, the members of Ying Sun felt that things were definitely not that simple. After all, no pies fall from the sky without reason. Traps are more likely; ancient artifacts are highly popular abroad, almost universally coveted by the major foreign families. The idea that they would return such a thing with nothing in return seemed implausible; no doubt some demands must have been made.

Negotiations had surely been conducted between those at the top.

But all these, they were not their concern; they just needed to complete the mission well.

Hearing Xigua’s words, Jing Youlan and Zhou Yicen glanced at each other and nodded without asking any further.

Indeed, they had just joined Ying Sun and probably wouldn’t be sent on any particularly dangerous missions yet, as they were not yet sufficiently qualified.

They were overthinking.

The team on the mission was not large; including Jing Youlan and Zhou Yicen, there were a total of eight people—not too many, but not too few for merely transporting an item.

The reason they were chosen was not for anything special, but rather because those tasked with this mission found them the most agreeable out of the lot.

Let it be.

Group arrived in C Country and reached the prearranged meeting place, which was not a military base, but rather a villa in a Residential District.

Even in plain clothes, at just a glance, one could still see what kind of Soldier they were, the others maintained a strict demeanor.

"Hello, welcome to C Country," the person standing in front of Thousand-Mile Eye and his group said with a smile on his face, which seemed rather friendly.

Thousand-Mile Eye and his group simply nodded faintly in response, their expressions unchanged, "Where is the item?" During a mission, they didn’t like too much contact with the other party. It was not their strong suit, even if the other party shared the same status as them.

Soldier.

"It’s all ready, please follow us," the others said, leading the way after confirming their identities.

Although both parties were soldiers, there wasn’t much special interaction between them, at most, just observation, mutual observation.

In the eyes of many other nations, our Soldiers are somewhat different, very special, but they can’t quite pinpoint what exactly is different.

Perhaps, it’s faith! The faith in the hearts of Soldiers, something those from other nations lack and cannot comprehend, and it has been like this from ancient times to the present.

"The item is right here," the others led them into a room, stepped aside, and a fully sealed object appeared in front of the members of Ying Sun, about the height of a petite girl, securely packaged.

"Good." They nodded, with no questions asked. The superiors hadn’t informed them what exactly was inside, so there was no need to check. Of course, they also believed that the other party wouldn’t give them a fake to take back, to deceive their superiors.

Thousand-Mile Eye gave a brief nod and two people stepped forward from beside him, preparing to take the item. However,
