?

Hearing Li Zhen's order, the soldier asked in disbelief, "Captain, are we really leaving the First Army?"

Li Zhen clenched his hands and fell silent for a moment before saying, "There is no more First Army."

The soldier lowered his head at his words and said nothing.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Zhen asked, "Still not going?"

The soldier, remembering Li Zhen's order, hurriedly said, "Yes, Captain."

As the soldier ran off to inform the others, Li Zhen returned to his tent. He took a satellite phone from his bedside table, dialed a number, and waited.

When the call connected, Li Zhen said, "Brother, our Captain agreed to let us join his team. Quick, go and tell the others."

On the other side, the man exclaimed excitedly, "Really?! Great! I will let everyone know the good news!"

After his excitement calmed down, Ding Jianfeng became anxious. "But Li Zhen, we don't have a place after leaving the barracks. Should we look for one, or...?"

Reassuring him, Li Zhen said, "Don't worry. Our sister-in-law offered to let us stay with them in the villa area. She said there are plenty of empty rooms, and we can take care of each other."

Delighted, Ding Jianfeng said, "It seems our sister-in-law is very kind."

Li Zhen chuckled. "Of course. Do you doubt her personality? She is the one our Captain chose, and I trust his judgment."

"You are right. I will contact the others and tell them the good news. Let's meet at the entrance in forty minutes," Ding Jianfeng said.

"Alright."

After the call ended, Li Zhen hurriedly packed his belongings, grabbed his weapon and backpack, and left the tent. While he gathered his men, Ding Jianfeng contacted the other brothers from the special forces team.

Half an hour later, over fifty people gathered at the entrance of the First Army's barracks.

Seeing everyone present, Li Zhen looked back at the First Army's barrack for the last time before saying, "Brothers, let's go."

Equipped with night-vision goggles and weapons, Li Zhen and his brothers-in-arms left the barracks without looking back. Their pale, thin faces were now lit with excitement and hope.

When Li Zhen and the others arrived in the villa, the bedrooms were ready, and Yao Ran and Long Yu were busy in the kitchen.

Li Zhen took out his satellite phone and called Long Yu to inform him of their arrival. After hanging up the call, he waited only a moment before seeing Shi Xuan walk out of the villa.

Shi Xuan opened the metal gate for Li Zhen and the others and was very happy to see them. He hugged them one after another, exchanged greetings about their health, and led them inside with bright smiles.

"Captain, A Zhen and the others are here. I will help them settle down first," Shi Xuan announced as he led the way to their bedrooms.

A moment later, Long Yu's voice came from the kitchen. "Alright. Lunch will be ready in ten minutes."

"Got it."

After saying that, Shi Xuan led them to the bedrooms on the first floor. "Let me show you the rooms."

He opened the first bedroom on the first floor and said, "There are three bedrooms on the first floor, two more empty bedrooms on the second floor, and five bedrooms on the third floor."

"I live alone, so if the rooms aren't enough, some of you can stay with me. Oh, and our Captain now stays with Yao Ran, so his bedroom is also available."

Ding Jianfeng hesitated when he heard this. Lowering his voice, he asked, "This... isn't right, is it? Won't Captain get mad if we take his room?"

Shi Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "You don't understand. If you take Captain's bedroom, he will reward you instead. Just don't offend Yao Ran, and he won't have a reason to beat

you."

Hearing this, Ding Jianfeng thought for a moment before saying, "Got it. Thanks for the reminder, Brother."

Shi Xuan gave him a knowing smile and continued to show them the other bedrooms. There were eleven bedrooms available in the villa. After some consideration, they decided to allocate five people per room while Li Zhen and Ding Jianfeng would share a room with Shi Xuan.

While helping them settle in, Shi Xuan said, "Fortunately, we have enough rooms. It might be a bit cramped for now, but we won't stay here forever. Once we return to our place, each of you can have your own room."

Hearing this, the others looked at Shi Xuan in disbelief and skepticism.

As soldiers, they never had their own rooms. The best treatment they ever received was when they were on the Special Forces Team. However, even then, they still had to share a room with another teammate.

Seeing their expressions, Shi Xuan chuckled. He didn't explain further and just said, "Just wait until you see that place."

After saying that, he helped Li Zhen and Ding Jianfeng make the beds and rearrange the room to make it more comfortable for the three of them to live together.

Ten minutes later, Long Yu called from downstairs, "Guys, come down and eat first!"

Shi Xuan smiled when he heard what Long Yu's said. "Oh, the lunch is ready. You guys must be starving. Let's eat first, then you can take a bath. Seriously, all of you smell awful."

Leaving those words, he left the third floor and headed downstairs.

Feeling unconvinced by Shi Xuan's words, Li Zhen sniffed his shirt and asked, "Do I really smell that bad?"

Ding Jianfeng smirked and asked him back, "Don't you always smell like that?"

The group exchanged amused glances before heading downstairs.

When they arrived at the dining room, Li Zhen and the others were stunned by the variety of dishes and the amount of food on the table. After not seeing fresh meat and vegetables for months, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the delicious meat and vegetable dishes.
