Green Snake?
Hearing this name, Qin Feng and Green Dragon instantly looked up in shock. They glanced at each other in disbelief, and then went straight to the c.o.c.kpit, Qin Feng supporting the struggling Green Dragon.
Qin Feng put on the radio headset and anxiously responded, "Green Snake, is that you? This is Qin Feng, over. Come in, Green Snake."
A male voice came through the speakers: "This is Headquarters, over. Give us a situation report!"
Qin Feng almost tore the headset off his ears and smashed it to bits.
"Is this a joke? Green Snake is not your codename!"
The guys at Headquarters were usually the children of senior state officials and high-ranking military commanders. Their greatest skills were boasting and exploiting their families' wealth and power to their own advantage, and they hardly gave a rat's a.s.s about regular people in the military. "What's that?" the voice sneered, "Do I need to ask your permission to use a certain codename? Codenames are just a way to prevent the enemy from eavesdropping on our plans. What do you even know about that?
"Hey, wasn't Green Snake the girl from your Golden Four team? Hey, how long has she been missing? Probably dead, isn't she? Bet you're just too afraid to report it and take responsibility. Anyway, I have orders from General Gu to give you a message, otherwise I wouldn't give a c.r.a.p whether you're alive or dead out there."
Qin Feng became instantly furious. "What? We're out here risking our necks on a mission and we don't need your bulls.h.i.+t! You're Li Jian, the 29th Division Commander's kid, aren't you? You think I'm afraid of you just because your daddy's a general?"
"And what are you gonna do about it?" Li Jian responded angrily. "Come on! The Special Forces are better than everyone, right? Bah! One word from my father and ten thousand men will drown you in their spit."
"We'll see about that." Qin Feng yanked the headset off and threw it on the control panel.
"Who was that idiot?" Green Dragon grumbled behind him. "When we get back, we should go find him and teach him a little lesson. What the h.e.l.l - we fight on the front lines while they enjoy the good life in HQ, and they still have the gall to make fun of us? Screw that!"
At that point, Lei Ming and Zhang Shan came up together. "Captain Qin, we'll deal with this. When we land, you should get some R&R. What was the name of that guy on the radio? We'll find him right away and deal with him for you."
Qin Feng sighed. "Oh, don't go looking for trouble. The world is full of parasites like him - deal with one, and two more take his place. Can we fight them all? They just mess around in HQ, without ever having the opportunity to touch a gun or do anything important. They feel that answering phones is a waste of their lives and a waste of their talent, but if they ever find themselves under fire, they'll p.i.s.s themselves in terror. What can we do with people like that? Just forget it. If you ask me, as long as we can return home safely, we should count ourselves lucky. This mission was harder than usual, but we still all got out in one piece, didn't we? We've earned a good rest."
What he wanted to do now was sleep it all off, and then contact Sister Flower and find out how she was doing. He wanted to get together and enjoy the rare good times.
Everyone reluctantly agreed with him. After all, everyone on the plane was tired and exhausted after the hard fight, and no one had the energy to go looking for trouble again.
It was dusk when they returned to headquarters.
After taking Green Dragon to the regional military hospital, Qin Feng went to his barracks, took a shower, and skipped dinner to lay in his bunk, playing with his mobile phone.
Green Snake.
After being teased by Li Jian, Qin Feng's thoughts were roused again.
"Girl, where the h.e.l.l are you? It's been months. If you're still alive, why won't you contact us? I never thought you could be dead. With your skills, you wouldn't be caught that easily!" Qin Feng thought to himself.
His phone rang.
It was Green Snake's number.
Qin Feng didn't even know how many times he'd dialed that number over the past few months. He kept hoping for a miracle, but every time he got an automated 'The number you dialed is unavailable' message.
He almost dropped the phone as he scrambled to hit the answer b.u.t.ton, almost screaming, "Green Snake, is that you?!"
"Qin Feng, it's me."
The voice was faint, but it was truly the voice of Green Snake.
Qin Feng sat up excitedly, and then stood up again, walking back and forth in his single apartment, excitedly. "Where are you? f.u.c.k, I thought you were……. Where are you? You're alive. Great, that's great!"
"I'm in Tianhe City," Green Snake said cautiously. "You're at headquarters, aren't you?"
"Tianhe? How did you get there? I've been in Tianhe this whole time! When did you get there? I'm at headquarters now, I just got back from a mission with Green Dragon. He's in the hospital, but he'll be perfectly fine. What.... What the h.e.l.l is going on with you? Where were you this whole time?"
Green Snake's voice was barely above a whisper: "Let's meet and talk. I'll wait for you in Tianhe. Don't tell anyone I'm back, though. Your ears only!"
"Okay, fine, I'll hurry back."
"I'll wait for you." Green Snake hung up.
Qin Feng sat on his bed, deep in thought.
The universe works in mysterious ways. Just hours ago, he'd heard Li Jian posing as Green Snake. Now the real Green Snake was back.
He didn't know why she was being so secretive, but he was just happy she was alive.
After a while, he picked up the phone and called Xiao Jinhua.
"Sister Flower, how are you?"
This was the first phone call that Qin Feng made to Sister Flower in three days. She couldn't even count how many times she wanted to call him herself, but as soon as she thought of his advice before leaving, she stopped herself. "Oh, I can't believe it!" she cried excitedly, "Finally! Where the h.e.l.l are you?"
"Haha, I just finished!" Qin Feng laughed. "How're things? Did you have fun on your solo trip? I've just looked at your Moments, looks like you've having fun. Haha, I'm really happy for you. It's very beautiful there."
"How can I be happy, since I lack a certain person around me?" Xiao Jinhua sighed. "Are you done? Can you come join me?"
On the second day of separation from Qin Feng, Sister Flower felt increasingly uncomfortable. In Tianhe, she could see him every day, and she did not expect what being without him would feel like.
This was their longest time apart ever since they met, months ago.
Earlier that day, Sister Flower couldn't help herself and dialed Qin Feng's number, but his phone was off. Her nervous heart said, 'it's good, it's good the phone was off, otherwise Qin Feng would be angry'.
Sister Flower was very curious about what Qin Feng was off doing; he certainly had something to hide from her. He was not just an ordinary wage earner, but she knew how to respect a person's privacy. If he did not want to tell her, she wouldn't pry. Qin Feng was not a bad person, and he was good to her, which was enough. As for his secret, she would leave it up to him to find the right time to tell her.
"I, uh... not yet. But don't worry, I can call you again later or something. I'll come see you in a couple days, okay?"
