Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Vacation Visit

In a vast and dense mountain forest, there is a deep, winding path that twists and turns in the lush greenery.

Wang Jia Bao had been lying in a clump of weeds for two days and nights without moving, and there were nine other soldiers like him, lying in ambush around the path, ready to pounce on the prey when it arrives.

In a blink of an eye, he had been enlisted for more than two years, evolving from a passionate, reckless, and ignorant lad into today’s elite special forces iron-blooded warrior. His mental journey is really indescribable.

This was not his first mission. He had experienced killing and death, and fully understood his responsibility and mission.

Following the leadership of the Communist Party of China, serving the people wholeheartedly, obeying orders, strictly observing discipline, being brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, rigorously training to kill the enemy, always ready to fight, never betraying the army, vowing to defend the motherland to death. The enlistment oath is never just a slogan.

“Zzzz… notice, small fish in the net…”

A few words came into Wang Jia Bao’s ears, waking him up from a bit of drowsiness.

This wait had lasted for two days.

This mountain range was a gathering place for many large wild animals, with no shortage of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. To avoid exposing themselves, they had to find ways to blend into this piece of nature.

Wang Jia Bao had personally seen a venomous snake swagger past him, and he had to hold his breath as if it didn’t exist.

At this moment, another voice came to his ears, the voice of the speaker was a bit anxious, “Not sure if the target is a big fish, what to do?”

“Where is the uncertainty?”

Upon hearing this message, everyone became serious and tense. After all, they had been guarding for two days. In this uncertain situation, should they strike or not?

“Three donkeys, four men; here, it’s two men and two women, and one is suspected to be pregnant. Also, there is no red cloth strip or bell on the donkey.”

Wang Jia Bao listened silently to his comrade’s analysis and then saw the target appear in his sight.

This is… a big-bellied woman? Why does it feel particularly awkward to him?

Wang Jia Bao stared closely at that pregnant woman, and suddenly realized, he said in the channel, “The pregnant woman is a man in disguise.”

Then someone else in the channel said, “I see the red cloth strip on the third donkey, used to tie the basket.”

“Do we attack?”

At this time, the big fish had already entered the encirclement. It’s a fleeting opportunity that must not be missed. The situation was critical.

“Attack, act according to plan. Three, two, one…”

“Whoosh whoosh…”

As the bullets flew out, the sound of donkey braying followed.

In an instant, there was chaos among the donkey team, and that originally big-bellied woman had already drawn a rifle from the basket and hid in the small forest nearby.

Wang Jia Bao was constantly watching him, seeing him draw the weapon and his agile movements, not daring to be careless, he kept a close eye on his location, looking for a flaw.

Fortunately, from his angle, he could see an exposed arm of that man; he didn’t think further, a shot had already been fired.

The man, in pain, staggered slightly, and Wang Jia Bao seized the opportunity for another shot; the bullet flew into the chest, and the man fell to the ground…

All four bandits were ambushed and taken down, and the warriors who had been lying in the grass for two days finally could stand up.

Everyone carefully and vigilantly surrounded from all sides towards the center.

Wang Jia Bao directly approached the man disguised as the pregnant woman whom he had taken down. He carefully approached him, seeing him lying motionless on the ground, but did not relax his vigilance, checking around and discovering the opponent’s long gun dropped not far away.

Wang Jia Bao put away his gun, crouched down to check the man’s condition. Grabbing the man’s shoulder to force him over, the man moved, lunging at Wang Jia Bao with a dagger.

Wang Jia Bao raised his hand to block, the dagger left a cut on his arm. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, not minding this small injury, and with a reverse pinch, had subdued the man.

The mission was successfully completed, the captain called the headquarters, ready to fully close the net. Consequently, accomplices in the small town on the alert were also rounded up.

After completing each mission, the army had a humane side, allowing a few days of rest. Wang Jia Bao was slightly injured, and having not had a leave for a while, he took a leave and went straight to Wang Miaomiao’s house to relax.

Previously, they had no permanent residence in Beijing, so even when on leave, there was no place to go. Now that his sister Wang Miaomiao has a home here, Wang Jia Bao also has a destination for leisure as her brother.

Wang Miaomiao, hearing from Jiang Yan that her brother Wang Jia Bao was coming, was very pleased. Nearing the end of the year, they were busy preparing to open a factory and store, so they didn’t plan to return to J City.

“Sis, I’m here.” Wang Jia Bao arrived with a bag of groceries. He got off the bus and had passed by a marketplace, so he went in to shop around.

Being in the army, in a closed environment, he surprisingly didn’t know the outside world had undergone such drastic changes—free trade, shops everywhere, men and women on the streets lively and beaming—it seemed like a relief after repression, such a scene was a breath of fresh air.

In the past two years, Wang Jia Bao had grown rapidly, shooting up tall and with a physique that was incomparable to before. Indeed, a man emerging from the army is different.

Wang Miaomiao looked at the tall and strong handsome boy before her, and a typical aunt’s smile appeared. The boy in our family is finally grown up.

“Why did you still bring groceries? I already bought enough.” Wang Miaomiao welcomed him into the house, seeing the things he brought left her speechless. Bringing groceries as a guest visit? Seems there’s nothing wrong with that, huh?

Wang Jia Bao came in and unceremoniously looked around, casually explaining, “I passed the market on the way, so I went in to shop around. Sis, they have so much stuff there. Oh wow… Sis, you’ve bought a TV set at home?”

Wang Jia Bao excitedly rushed over, fiddling to turn on the TV. The sound of speech mixed with static crackled through.

This was a 14-inch Panda brand black-and-white TV set Jiang Yan had bought. With little entertainment available now, having this TV could help pass some boring time.

It was cold outside lately, and the time Wang Miaomiao spent going for a walk after dinner was shortened. Coming back, they could snuggle together and watch some TV, a nice way to bond.

Wang Miaomiao saw him eagerly flipping through TV channels, knowing this novelty wouldn’t wear off anytime soon.

She helplessly smiled and shook her head. Oh, he might have grown taller, but his mind was still the same. He is indeed her brother.

However, you couldn’t blame him. Even she had spent a long time excitedly exploring when the TV set was bought home.

Wang Miaomiao went to pour him a glass of water, then headed to the kitchen to deal with today’s lunch ingredients.

She knew yesterday he would be coming, so she got up early to buy quite a lot of groceries. With what he just brought over, there was a lot to sort through. Fish, meat, chicken, all needed to be prepared.
