Chapter 768: The Story of Ling and Heng (31)
Feng Ling did not expect that it would be Nanheng.
She hadn’t seen him for almost three years and thought he wouldn’t return to the base in recent years, but she didn’t expect that he would appear in her mission.
Feng Ling turned her head and continued to look at the Tibetan mastiffs who kept barking at her. “Do I really look that ugly?”
She said as she crushed the medicine into powder and sprinkled it into the large box of food that had been messed with by the dogs.
Anyway, she was used to Nanheng’s sharp tongue, so she didn’t mind it at all.
Nanheng walked over and saw Feng Ling spread the medicine powder quickly into the dog food, so fast that those Tibetan mastiffs couldn’t keep up when they wanted to bite his hands. The Tibetan mastiffs b.u.mped their heads on the railings and barked even harder in pain.
After the medicine powder was added, Feng Ling saw that there was still more than an hour before the gangsters arrived. She took off the hat on her head and turned to look at Nanheng: “Don’t I look good? I think I look quite handsome.”
Nanheng looked at the boy in front of him, who was much taller than when he left. He was at least 1.6 meters in height but compared to him who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, he was at least one head shorter than him.
He was no longer as thin as when he first entered the base, although he didn’t look as strong as other members. He was still very thin in his eyes, and after two or three years of hard training, his skin was still fair as ever.
But his face… he pasted a big black mole to his nose and put two fake scars on his face. His eyelids were also carefully disguised and looked swollen.
Now he looked really ugly.
How could he have the cheek to say that he was handsome?
Nanheng decisively turned away from looking at her face, fearing that he would have a nightmare on the first night he had just returned to the base.
Feng Ling’s mission was not difficult this time. If it was very difficult, someone would be sent to a.s.sist her.
This was a mission a.s.signed to her by the base, and it was also a chance for her to gain experience. Nanheng looked at the surrounding environment and he had checked the situation of the gangsters before coming. Knowing that Feng Ling could handle it, he didn’t intervene but just told him, “Be careful. Don’t get hurt. If you get rabies from dog bites, you don’t have to go back to the base.” Then he returned to the black Hummer not far away and drove the car away, lest it would be found by those gangsters.
Feng Ling was speechless.
If he wanted to tell her to be careful, he really didn’t have to mention rabies.
Although these dogs were still awake, apparently their barking strength had been greatly reduced. Not long after, half of them were lying on the ground drinking the water in the basins, and the other half was still barking, but the sound was no longer that loud. Now people wouldn’t suspect that she was not a feeder.
Just when Feng Ling was about to remove the huge cage from the truck and get it into the warehouse, she put on a thick and heavy pair of gloves and protective gear in the truck that could effectively prevent her from biting and the protective gear just perfectly covered half of her face. When she reached out and touched the cage, there were still some Tibetan Mastiffs who jumped at her and tried to bite her. Feng Ling only glanced at them. Although they looked fierce, they couldn’t bite hard anymore. It seemed that the medicine worked and she had also worn gloves and protective gear. She safely removed the cage down and moved it into the abandoned warehouse bit by bit.
Suddenly, a pebble was thrown over from a distance. Feng Ling paused and looked back, only to see that K had also come. This tall and thin lad casually walked over, playing with another pebble in his hand and with a gra.s.s in his mouth. Seeing Feng Ling managed to move such a large cage and so many giant dogs into the warehouse, he raised an eyebrow. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to move so many Tibetan Mastiffs alone, so I came here to give you a hand. I didn’t expect that you can handle it yourself. No wonder you got listed in the top ten melee combat players in the United States this year. Although you’re small, your physical endurance is quite good.”
Feng Ling only glanced at him and continued to move the cage. After moving the cage to a position that looked pleasing to the eye, she took off the gloves and protective gear and said lightly: “I’m among the top ten this year and I’ll be the champion next time.”
K spit out the gra.s.s in his mouth and laughed. “Come on. The next game will be held in two or three years. How old will you be then? Twenty? In the past few decades, no national melee combat champion was younger than thirty. All of them are very muscular who have exercised for at least 20 years. You are so small and thin. They can beat you to Siberia with one fist in the game.”
Feng Ling glanced at him lightly. “Does age matter?”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
“Didn’t you say last time that no winner of XI Base’s annual training a.s.sessment is younger than 20 and none of them was lighter than 140 pounds. But who won the first place?”
K:”…”
Feng Ling’s words made a point. After all, Feng Ling had won the first place for two consecutive years. The other members who all looked taller and stronger than her were defeated by her. Feng Ling not only had up-to-standard physical endurance now, but also had very good martial skill and speed, so no other member could beat her.
Besides, Feng Ling was not even 19 years old yet.
“Ahem.” K touched his nose awkwardly and came up to help her. While helping her to handle the few Tibetan mastiffs in the cage who were still barking, he said, “You know what, Boss Li is going to return to the base recently. Have you heard of the saying that ‘shoot the bird which takes the lead’? Boss seemed not to be fond of you, so you’d better behave yourself in front of him. Otherwise, he may pick on you. You can occasionally show weakness to him. You can be arrogant in front of us, but not in front of Boss. Boss Li said he would come back two years later. Now it has been almost three years. Obviously, the old men in the Li family didn’t let him come back. Now he has finally come back and probably wants to get someone to vent. You’d better be careful. Don’t draw fire against yourself…”
Before K finished his words, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person in front of the abandoned warehouse. He paused and turned his eyes with a jerk to look at that person carefully. Then he was petrified!
Bo, Boss?
Why was Li Bo here?
K looked at the tall black figure, and realizing that Boss might have heard what he said just now, he immediately gave him a fawning smile and begged. “Boss… You…”
