“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?”

“Lao Fu, I’m just a guest today. The real guest of honor is the gentleman beside me!” Wen Bin didn’t fall for it, pushing Zhou Chao forward to shield himself from the bullet.

Hearing Wen Bin’s words, Lao Fu also happily extended his right hand towards Zhou Chao, “Hello, Mr. Zhou, we’ve already been informed from above. Today, you can do whatever you like!”

“Sorry for the trouble!” Zhou Chao smiled and shook hands with Lao Fu.

“Alright, Mr. Zhou, I’ll have Xue Li take you around. Wen and I haven’t seen each other for a while. We plan to catch up. I hope you don’t mind!” One of the men standing next to Lao Fu stepped forward.

“No problem!” Zhou Chao shook his head lightly. After all, Wen Bin couldn’t do much following him around. It was better to give face to Lao Fu.

Then, the group split into two. Zhou Chao, accompanied by Lin Wu, followed Xue Li towards the training ground, while Wen Bin followed Lao Fu into the three-story building.

Arriving at Lao Fu’s office, Wen Bin skillfully took out a box of good tea from Lao Fu’s cupboard and brewed himself a cup.

“Wen Bin, you’re something else, coming here and immediately thinking about my tea leaves. Yet, I don’t see you bringing me any!” Lao Fu said with a smile, watching Wen Bin’s skilled demeanor.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“So what if I come here and use a bit of tea leaves? Lao Fu, I didn’t expect you to become so stingy!” Wen Bin said with a laugh, enjoying the aroma of the tea.

“Alright, alright, in the end, it’s always my fault, isn’t it!”

“That’s not me saying it, it’s you!”

Lao Fu shook his head helplessly, then walked to Wen Bin’s side and sat down, cautiously asking, “Lao Wen, what’s the background of Mr. Zhou? The higher-ups actually called personally and instructed us to treat him well.”

Hearing this, Wen Bin paused for a moment, put down his tea cup, and said with a serious expression, “I can’t tell you the specifics, but I can only say that this person’s identity is quite extraordinary. Don’t ask too much, it’s not beneficial for you!”

Seeing his old friend’s serious expression, Lao Fu also understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and decided not to dwell on the issue, promptly changing the subject.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and his companions arrived at the training ground. Seeing many people engaged in shooting practice, Zhou Chao also stopped curiously.

“Want to try it out?” Xue Li smiled and asked.

“Will it disturb them? How about we wait until they finish training?” To be honest, Zhou Chao wanted to try it out, but he hesitated due to concerns about his reputation.

“It’s fine!”

With that, Xue Li waved to the person in charge of training, and the person quickly ran over to salute Xue Li.

“Commander, any instructions!” The person in charge also noticed the presence of Zhou Chao and his companion beside the Commander, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Set up two shooting ranges for these two to experience.”

“Yes!” With that, he turned and quickly ran to the training ground, soon setting up two shooting ranges.

The soldiers who were training also noticed the presence of Zhou Chao and his group, showing curiosity in their eyes. However, none of them whispered to each other, indicating the strict discipline of this unit.

Zhou Chao was not polite, directly walked to the shooting range, checked the gun, which was the domestically developed Type 95 automatic rifle, and then fired a few shots at the target one hundred meters away.

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!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

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!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“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.
