Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 673 - 678: What’s wrong with being a water snake_1
"And here I thought you really weren’t afraid of anything..." Lin Feng said to Su Zi with a chuckle. "They’re just a couple of petty car thieves. What’s there to be afraid of!"
Only then did Su Zi, slightly abashed, hop down from Lin Feng. She cautiously peeked into the Rolls-Royce to find, sure enough, only two ordinary low-level thugs hidden inside. Feeling her face heat up, she resolutely refused to admit she had been frightened. Instead, Su Zi, giving Lin Feng a look that implied *he* was the one who benefited, nonchalantly said, "Who was scared? I simply seized the chance to take some liberties with you, that’s all..."
Lin Feng was rather speechless. Who had ever heard of a great beauty pouncing on a man to take advantage of him? If this was her hobby, then by all means, she should be encouraged to pursue it!
"Zhou Yang, take care of these fellows, will you? Don’t dirty the car..." Lin Feng beckoned Zhou Yang over, then, with a grin, indicated Mr. Wu and Little Chao inside the car.
"If it gets dirty, I’ll just buy a new one..." Zhou Yang laughed dismissively, speaking with an air of extravagant wealth. You have to understand, each core member of the White Wolf Squad had accrued quite the fortune, with each of their savings exceeding eight digits in US dollars. For Zhou Yang, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was really no biggie.
"You’re pretty loaded now, huh!" Lin Feng laughed lightly, gently thumping Zhou Yang’s muscular shoulder. "Were you hurt just now?"
"Boss, are you joking? These rabble don’t stand a chance against me..." Zhou Yang scoffed, speaking dismissively. "If we weren’t in China, and I weren’t holding back, I bet none of these guys would even get within three meters of me..."
Zhou Yang wasn’t just boasting. His fighting style had always been exceptionally brutal; he reveled in the thrill of felling an enemy with a single, decisive blow. If he fought without restraint, give him a long knife, and he could cut down everyone in his path. In a small place like this, there was truly no one who could withstand a single strike from him.
Yet, this wasn’t a land of lawlessness where one could recklessly kill enemies, but China, one of the safest countries in the world. Even a fierce tiger must remain toothless here. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Seeing a hint of discomfort in Zhou Yang’s eyes, Lin Feng knew that he wasn’t keen on this feeling of confinement. He gently patted Zhou Yang’s shoulder, speaking softly, "Don’t dwell on it. With every gain, there is a loss. Our past lives weren’t even that good. Truth be told, I’m getting tired of a life tasting blood on the edge of a knife... Waking up every day worrying about whether there would be casualties who wouldn’t get up again, whether the enemy was planning an ambush, whether our various combat supplies were about to run out... Honestly, I don’t want to go back to those tense days... Isn’t life much better now?"
Zhou Yang looked at Lin Feng in surprise, as though he was meeting him for the first time. The former White Wolf King was the epitome of valor, defying death, and never succumbing to hardships. Was this Lin Feng really the same White Wolf King? Zhou Yang’s expression flickered through several changes before he finally said, somewhat helplessly, "Boss, a dragon in shallow waters can only turn into a snake. You don’t really enjoy being a ’snake’ now, do you... I’m still waiting for you to lead us into battle..."
Lin Feng quietly looked at Zhou Yang, uttering softly, "Zhou Yang, you’re still young. You don’t yet understand what’s truly important in this life... What truly matters is making sure the people around you—your companions, family, and everyone who cares about you—live a better life. That’s what’s important! For this purpose, ordinary people can find the courage to become fierce dragons, daring to face life and death on the battlefield! In other words, if achieving the goal is possible, even if it means becoming a ’snake’, what regrets can there be?"
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhou Yang’s face changed dramatically, and he fell into deep contemplation.
Seeing Zhou Yang deep in thought, Lin Feng finally smiled knowingly. He knew that Zhou Yang was different from Ling Yun. Zhou Yang was just an ordinary, hotheaded young man with no great ambitions. He enjoyed thrilling battles and sought a carefree life, hoping to constantly progress in Martial Arts. Ling Yun, however, was a smart leader who saw Lin Feng as his target, always unwilling to be subordinate to him. And in truth, Lin Feng was far more capable than Ling Yun. Eventually, due to his distorted ambitions, Ling Yun collaborated with outsiders to ambush Lin Feng in a bid to replace him. While Zhou Yang’s personal prowess might not have been much less than Ling Yun’s, he lacked Ling Yun’s cunning. Even Lin Feng had found it difficult to see through Ling Yun’s calculating nature, even misjudging him completely, which ultimately led to his own death and rebirth into another person’s body. At one point, Lin Feng had regretted teaching Ling Yun so much before understanding his wild ambitions. If he had a second chance, he would definitely spend more time cultivating Zhou Yang. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late...
Nearby, Xue Qingyi, Ning Aoxue, and Su Zi were quietly listening to the two men’s conversation. After hearing Lin Feng’s speech, Xue Qingyi’s face showed a flicker of realization, while Ning Aoxue and Su Zi only grew more puzzled.
"Doesn’t it sound like that big bad guy is lecturing Big Bro Zhou on life in an elderly tone?" Su Zi cast a glance at Lin Feng, asking Ning Aoxue with some confusion. "But he’s clearly much younger than Big Bro Zhou..."
"I’m not sure..." Ning Aoxue shook her head slightly, biting her lip as she said quietly. "It seems, just as you said, Mr. Zhou holds Lin Feng in high regard..."
"I really can’t figure it out. What is the relationship between that big bad guy Lin Feng, Big Bro Zhou, and that woman named Xue?" Su Zi’s face was filled with curiosity. Although Xue Qingyi had said she was Lin Feng’s girlfriend, Su Zi refused to believe it. Xue Qingyi, who had suddenly popped out of nowhere, obviously seemed a few years older than Lin Feng. Despite their intimate behavior, how could this woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, possibly be in a deep relationship with Lin Feng?
"We’ll have to ask Lin Feng about that..." Ning Aoxue was also curious. She could tell that Lin Feng’s relationship with Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang was complex, the kind of camaraderie that only forms after years of living together. But Ning Aoxue knew Lin Feng had been studying in Jiangzhou all this time. So where did he find such adult companions with whom he shared such a deep bond? However, Lin Feng’s father seemed to be a military leader. If he often visited his father at the barracks, it was indeed possible he had befriended his father’s guards. Could Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi both be retired soldiers from Lin Feng’s father’s unit? Ning Aoxue suddenly thought of a plausible explanation...
"Hey, Miss Ning, don’t you think Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi might be Lin Feng’s online friends..." Su Zi abruptly blurted out. "They’ve played online games together for many years, and now they’ve transferred their friendship from the virtual world into reality, which is why the older Zhou could still refer to Lin Feng as ’Boss’..."
"Exactly..." Lin Feng, who had been silently eavesdropping on Su Zi and Ning Aoxue’s conversation, suddenly turned his head and laughed. "Indeed, Zhou Yang, Qingyi, and I got to know each other while playing a game called ’Mercenary World’..."
