Chapter 707: Return in Disappointment (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Boss, this thing is only for looking, not for shooting. It’s not as fun as ‘pew pew pew’!” Lin Wu also wore a distressed expression. After all, even if one had a gun in China, it was mostly for decoration. The chances of actually using it were few and far between.
Seeing Lin Wu’s eager eyes, Zhou Chao nodded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll let you play with it tomorrow!”
“Thank you, Boss!”
The next morning, Wen Bin showed up at Zhou Chao’s doorstep.
Seeing Wen Bin arrive so early, Zhou Chao was a bit surprised.
“Brother Wen, did you have breakfast? Sit down and have some with me!”
“No need, I had a little something on the way here.”
“Alright, just wait a moment for me, I’ll be done eating soon!” Zhou Chao said, hastening his pace of eating.
After breakfast, Zhou Chao changed into light clothing, mainly to ensure he could move freely later on!
“Mr. Zhou, you don’t need to drive. Ride in my car!” Wen Bin suddenly suggested.
Zhou Chao was momentarily stunned but quickly understood Wen Bin’s intention.
“Thank you!” Zhou Chao said with a faint smile.
As soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw two Hongqi cars parked in front of their house.
Zhou Chao followed Wen Bin into the second car, while Lin Wu tactfully got into the first one.
Zhou Chao had always been curious about the garrison. After all, it was the elite of the elite in China, especially the famous military honor guard, which was also stationed there. He wondered what interesting things he would encounter on this trip.
Soon, the car drove out of the city and headed towards the outskirts. As the population outside dwindled, Zhou Chao knew they were nearing their destination.
“We’re here!”
A cluster of buildings appeared in Zhou Chao’s sight.
After a brief stop at the entrance and inspection of relevant documents by the guard, the vehicles were cleared to pass!
As they drove into the camp, they saw many people training. Zhou Chao even spotted the familiar military honor guard among them.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a three-story building. Zhou Chao also noticed three middle-aged men standing at the entrance, their shoulders gleaming with gold stars, which surprised him a bit.
Following Wen Bin out of the car, Zhou Chao saw the three men smiling and approaching, especially the one in the front, who laughed and said, “Lao Wen, you’ve finally come. We’ve been waiting here for quite a while. So, how do you plan to compensate us?”
Soon, Zhou Chao emptied the magazine, and at the same time, the soldiers at the target one hundred meters away raised flags, all hitting the bullseye.
This scene stunned Xue Li. He didn’t expect Zhou Chao, who appeared so gentle and refined, to have such good marksmanship. Even their elite soldiers in the garrison might only reach this level!
At this moment, Lin Wu also quickly emptied all his bullets, but unfortunately, most of them were nine rings, with only a few ten rings!
Although his performance was not as impressive as Zhou Chao’s, it was still pretty good.
Brushing off the dust on his knees, Zhou Chao felt no surprise in his heart. This was all basic operation.
“Let’s go check out something else!” Zhou Chao said to Xue Li.
Xue Li was taken aback for a moment, muttering to himself, “Doesn’t this gun have any appeal to him?”
“Alright, let’s go somewhere else!”
With that, the three of them left under the gaze of the soldiers, chatting as they walked about the composition of their garrison.
It was only then that Zhou Chao realized that the garrison was different from the war zones he had in mind. He had originally wanted to experience something exciting, like firing some artillery, flying a helicopter, or parachuting, but unfortunately, none of that was available here.
Instead, there were various kinds of training!
Although he felt helpless, Zhou Chao still followed Xue Li around, seeing many curious things.
They even tasted the garrison’s food at noon, which, to be honest, was quite good!
Staying until three in the afternoon, Zhou Chao bid farewell.
After a brief chat with Old Fu and the others, the three of them got into the car and left.
On the way back, Wen Bin noticed that Zhou Chao seemed unenthusiastic.
“Mr. Zhou, didn’t you have fun?”
“Sigh, it’s completely different from what I imagined. I thought I could fly helicopters, fire artillery, and so on, but it turns out there’s nothing like that here!”
Zhou Chao didn’t hide his disappointment and said it outright.
Hearing this, Wen Bin paused for a moment. “Mr. Zhou, most of what you mentioned is in other war zones. You know that garrison areas are different from other war zones!”
“Yeah.” Zhou Chao knew that Wen Bin was right and nodded faintly.
They soon returned to where Zhou Chao was staying. After Zhou Chao got out of the car, Wen Bin reported the situation to Wang Lao and hung up after receiving a “I got it” in response.
Wen Bin glanced at where Zhou Chao was staying and gestured for the driver to leave.
