The Military Queen-Chapter 43 - 35 Rand Private First Class

Until past 6 in the evening, like a spinning top, Lin Yi finally got some free time after several urgent meetings. The thing he most wanted to do now was to return to his office, turn on the computer, and share everything that happened today with Xianxian.

There was no reliable information proving that Lu Xun leaked the project. The internal test news about "Military Road" posted on multiple military networks was also confirmed to be true.

Luckily, unlike the Hua Country Military District that knew the inside story, most military intelligence agencies of major military powers still treated "Military Road" as a regular game. For the moment, the secrets hidden within "Military Road" would not be discovered.

When Lin Yi returned to the tracking room of the National Security Department, Xia You was still there.

Their eyes met.

"Is she still waiting for him?" The stifling pressure in his chest vanished—unexplainably, it disappeared in the moment their gazes intersected. Lin Yi coughed softly, and only then did the several lieutenants react.

"Major, she has finished, and done a very good job," said a senior secretary who was responsible for drafting documents under Lin Yi. Lin Yi had left in a hurry earlier and had not specified how to handle Xia You.

So after she finished sorting out the documents within the allotted time, she sat quietly at the side. Near the end of the normal working hours, when the lieutenants around her had finished their tasks, they realized she had been waiting there for nearly half a day.

During that time, she neither stood up for water nor asked softly; she did not impatiently check the time but sat like a decorative chair in the tracking room, waiting almost touchingly. When Xia You was rediscovered, the lieutenants were too embarrassed to tell her that, due to the leak incident with "Military Road," she was no longer of use.

Compared to the narratives of the previous players, Xia You detailed her past sixty days, from the first dark seventy-two hours, calculating time, to entering unfamiliar environments and integrating into society at that time. Every day’s work details, and the gaining and losing of military merits, were all clearly noted.

Her thoughts were clear, her memory was astonishing. The entire document was precise without any missing symbols or text. Even the veteran secretary who had handled military documents for years couldn’t find any errors in her work.

Lin Yi, like Xia You’s earlier move, silently flipped through that document. While browsing, Lin Yi deliberately slowed his pace. Xia You frowned as she hadn’t eaten for half a day, cursing in her mind at the workaholics of the National Security Department.

"Name, age, previous work experience?" Lin Yi gave no final answer.

"Xia You, 22 years old, recent graduate." A simple three-sentence reply, "You ask, I answer; what you don’t ask, I don’t elaborate."

The senior secretary almost cried out. This junior secretary, so foolish; she should have seized the chance to highlight her experience. Simple answers like hers couldn’t showcase her strengths. A minute, over four hundred words entered, literally electronic hands, a robust international secretary certificate, and more...

His thick eyebrows raised again, the fewer the answers, the fewer the loopholes to exploit, no unnecessary description, no fawning or submissive attitude, very good. "Xia You, now go to the logistics department to collect your access card and uniform. Rand welcomes you," Lin Yi extended his hand.

Rough hands reached out, Lin Yi looked at Xia You’s hands—slender but not smooth, unbecoming of her clean face.

Smiling spread across Xia You’s lips, their hands clasped together, Lin Yi felt a sensation stroke his fingertips, reaching deep into his heart.

"Rand, here I come," Xia You couldn’t help stroking the Private First Class uniform in her hands. As compensation, any player who came out from "Military Road" and got employed by Rand enjoyed one rank promotion.

Previously, Xia You was a newbie with no military experience, but now, thanks to her treatment in "Military Road," she had become a Private First Class.

Exiting the Rand Military District, the mountain wind blowing in her face made Xia You realize she must be in some deep mountain area.

The day she came to Rand,>tag< it seemed like a long flight, but in fact, the Rand Military District was not far from Bazhou City. The flight that day was specially manipulated, circling in the sky for a long time before descending.

Rand’s military personnel did not use planes to enter and exit Rand but relied on a military bus that traveled via a dedicated military vehicle lane, which could directly reach Bazhou City in two hours, all kindly reminded by the logistics department staff.

Besides two sets of blue-grey uniforms, she also received a military ID, an access card, and an introduction to Rand Military District.

She had just walked a few steps when a military bus resembling a fire truck drove up. Its body painted with camouflage, the bright lights from the front of the vehicle were blinding. Insects hit against it, dazzled by the lights.

When the door opened, high up in the driver’s seat, the driver did not even glance down at his new passenger. Only half of his side face visible, he looked ready to fight, with a military uniform tossed on the seat. The rank on it showed that this driver was a Sergeant.

Her feet had just stepped onto the bus when she heard a sweet notification tone: "Please scan your military ID."

There was no other sound in the bus, the commuting soldiers either resting with their eyes closed or looking out the window at the military region, already enveloped in nightfall.

"Xia You, National Security Department." After reading the information, the card reader flashed a green light, confirming Xia You’s identity.

The relatively spacious aisle was illuminated by warm lights, several seats still empty.

There were several empty seats in the front row, but unfortunately, they all had items placed on them, either handbags or a file bag.

Feeling the bus start to.move, Xia You looked around and could only head to the very last row of seats.

A man whose face was obscured by a newspaper sat in the last row, asleep. He was the only one on the bus not wearing a uniform. Under the light, what could be seen clearly were the worn white legs of his jeans and the long legs stretched out to the side of the front-row seats.

As Xia You approached the last row, suddenly a face popped out from the second-to-last row. freёwebnoѵel.com

A female soldier with cheeks full of light freckles enthusiastically extended an invitation, pointing to the empty seat next to her, "Sit here, are you a new colleague? I’m also from the National Security Department, Mo Xixi."
