H City, Luoma County, Baishan Village.
Luoma County is located in a remote area of H City, surrounded by towering mountains, with hardly any human presence and not even a decent road in sight.
Baishan Village is the poorest village within Luoma County, nestled deep within the county and only a five-minute walk from the nearby mountains.
Originally, the village was home to seven or eight households. However, a month ago, a group of wild boars suddenly charged into the village, destroying homes and scaring away all the villagers.
Upon learning about the situation in Baishan Village, the government of Luoma County promptly arranged new accommodations for the villagers. Some villagers were reluctant to leave their old homes and returned to the village after living outside for two or three days.
Once they returned, they immediately set to work repairing their houses. After two or three weeks of hard work, just as they were finishing up, wild boars once again stormed into the village that night. During this incident, one villager had his leg broken by a boar; if it weren't for the villagers banding together to help him escape, he might have met his end at the jaws of the beast.
Following this incident, the villagers dared not return to the village. Gradually getting used to life outside, no one thought about going back anymore.
A month passed, and weeds grew rampant throughout the village. Occasionally, a few wild chickens could be seen hopping around in the grass, creating an especially desolate scene.
Around six in the evening, as the sun began to set and darkness crept in, a group of individuals clad in green camouflage uniforms appeared outside Baishan Village, each carrying military backpacks. A closer count revealed there were thirty-seven people in total.
One plump young man stepped forward and quickly spotted the wild chickens in the bushes. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he swallowed hard and exclaimed, "Wow! I didn't expect there to be so many wild chickens here. You guys are in for a treat! Just watch me and give me some applause. If I'm in a good mood, I'll take care of them in no time and treat you all to a nice meal tonight."
This chubby fellow was named Hou Libang. At just twenty years old, his physique resembled that of Zhu Bajie from folklore. Strangely enough, his nickname was "Monkey Brother," which seemed entirely at odds with his appearance.
I stood at the front of the group and glanced at Hou Libang with exasperation before saying, "Hou Libang, stop posing over there. If you don't make your move soon, those wild chickens are going to get away."
Indeed, we, a group of freshmen participating in the Night Operation, all possess strong physical abilities. Don't be fooled by Hou Libang's chubby appearance; his skills are quite impressive. I had a brief encounter with him before and realized that if I didn't use my Daoist and Buddhist Powers, I might actually struggle against him.
As for the others, their strength is at least equal to Hou Libang's, if not greater. They were all selected from universities across the country, making them formidable individuals with big egos who refuse to back down from one another.
"Let's all work together; this Fatty isn't very reliable, as you all have probably seen." Just as Hou Libang was about to grab a few wild chickens, someone standing behind him bluntly remarked. Upon hearing this, Hou Libang's face turned crimson, but he refrained from retorting. After all, he had caused quite a bit of trouble along the way, and we had suffered because of it.
One incident that stands out in my memory occurred yesterday afternoon when we passed beneath a wasp nest. Everything seemed normal at first, with no issues arising.
However, no one expected that at the last moment, Hou Libang would pick up a stone from the ground and throw it at the nest, knocking off half of it and provoking the swarm of wasps.
Fortunately, I was standing a bit farther away. As soon as I sensed something was wrong, I quickly ran off and managed to avoid being chased by the wasps.
Not everyone was so lucky; five or six people were caught because they ran too slowly and ended up with swollen heads from the stings. The person who had spoken earlier was one of those unfortunate victims.
"Hou Fatty, you can take your time playing by yourself, but just stay away from us," the others warned him. They drew their sabers and quickly formed teams of two or three to surround the wild chickens.
Five days ago, I had been sent to a nearby military base by Wang Yasheng. After some incredibly tight movements, our group of thirty-seven finally gathered together.
Although we were all here for the Night Operation, the details of our mission were unclear. The only instruction we received was to investigate the unusual activities of wild boars in Baishan Village; they didn't even tell us where Baishan Village was located.
Thus, over the past few days, we had been searching for Baishan Village's location and finally arrived there this afternoon.
In front of us were only a few wild chickens in the grass. With all thirty-seven of us working together, we swiftly captured those chickens. Even when they attempted to take flight, they were brought down by stones thrown by our team.
However, the situation with Hou Libang was not looking good, as no one was willing to team up with him. As a result, he had yet to catch that wild chicken. I could see Hou Libang sweating profusely; he looked up at me and shouted, "Jiang Ling, come over and help! Don't let that wild chicken get away!"
Among this group of people, my relationship with Hou Libang was the best. I let out a cold huff, feeling a bit annoyed, and walked over to him. In a chilly tone, I said, "Hou Libang, didn't you say you could handle these wild chickens in no time? How come you can't even catch one now?"
Hou Libang scratched the back of his head awkwardly and smiled at me. "Hehe, Jiang Ling, I just wanted to give you a chance to show off. Let's chat later; we need to catch that wild chicken first."
With that, Hou Libang and I lunged toward the wild chicken, and those who were idly standing by quickly gathered around us. Together, we managed to catch the wild chicken in no time.
