Chapter 0007 The First Friend

"On what basis?" With that, she shook the Wangwang snow cake off the ground and glared at Xiao Yuanchao, saying: "I won't play with a crybaby"

"How shameless, the boy is still crying." While gnawing on the stolen Wangwang snow cake, Baobao pouted and reprimanded, "Crybaby, I have already told you my name, why haven't you told me yours? The teacher said that children should be polite, do you understand?"

With a sharp sound, Xiao Yuanchao stood up straight and cried out loudly to the male and female officers in front of the vehicle: "Teacher, boo hoo... I want to go home, I want to go home, boo hoo..."

A hint of unusual color appeared in the eyes of the female officer as she glanced at Xiao Yuanchao several times, drawing a thick red line under his name.

A child's nature is such that it is easy for them to shift their focus, behavior, and mindset due to a sudden event.

The child, sitting beside Xiao Yuanchao, fell silent instead, her small face raised in anger, breathing heavily through her nose, yet occasionally glancing sideways to steal a look at Xiao Yuanchao, who was staring blankly out the window

In addition to these three types of troops, there is also a little-known unit: the Special Forces.

Class A, Class B, and Class C troops are distributed across the country based on their functional tasks. However, regardless of which of the three classes of troops one belongs to, being able to join the special forces signifies being among the elite of the military.

From a categorical perspective, they can be divided into Class A troops, Class B troops, and Class C troops

Of course, not only are we good friends, but we are also good comrades and brothers

Staring blankly at Xiao Yuanchao, the male officer quietly said to the female officer: "He is only afraid of his father"

The children in the car, although very frightened, have more or less gotten used to it along the way, and not a single one of them has cried out to go home like Xiao Yuanchao did.

Indeed! The male officer nodded affirmatively.

"Are you afraid or not afraid?" the male officer asked in a deep voice, his piercing eyes fixed on Xiao Yuanchao's eyes

In the vast Wanshan Mountains, a medium-sized passenger bus swiftly spirals down the winding mountain road. With each turn of the bus, the tires create intense friction, clearly indicating that it is fundamentally unsuitable for high-speed travel on such terrain

Under the gaze of the male officer, Xiao Yuanchao wiped away a tear and said: "Teacher, please take me home, sob sob... If I don't go home, my father will beat me to death, sob sob..."

"No way!" Baby firmly rejected, reaching out to grab Xiao Yuanchao's ear and threatening, "Not only the Wangwang snow cakes, but everything of yours in the future will be mine, and what is mine will still be mine. Otherwise, I will hit you and won't play with you."

Hehe... the male officer smiled and said: "Don't worry, your father will never hit you again. Once you truly walk out of here, no one will dare to hit you."

With a loud "whoosh," the baby once again shook the snow cake onto the ground

Specialized military units recruit members aged 7 to 16 from across the country every year. After a rigorous selection process, candidates may either become logistics personnel for the specialized units, join one of the three battalions, or be eliminated from the selection.

The other children in the car burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Yuanchao's words, their gazes fixed on his face, and the fear of the cliff outside the car window vanished completely in an instant

Xiao Yuanchao nodded, tears streaming down even more violently

These children display a variety of facial expressions, the vast majority of which are fear, while only a few remain calm, staring out the car window; although surprised, they are not afraid

In the central part of the front row of the carriage, there are two soldiers, a man and a woman, sitting side by side facing the children, intently focused on a laptop in front of them while writing and drawing on a folder.

After Xiao Yuanchao's earlier crying and fussing, the children in the car suddenly became lively, chattering incessantly and munching on various snacks.

What are you doing! The baby called out impatiently, and in an extremely rude manner, shook the Wangwang snow cake down.

Such a speed, spiraling downwards, is simply treating human life with utter disregard. Once an accident occurs, it is bound to lead to an irretrievable situation.

Xiao Yuanchao stood there in a daze for most of the day, timidly asking, "Is it true?"

Xiao Yuanchao shook his head, but immediately nodded again

In his consciousness, his father is terrifying, while Uncle Changsheng is trustworthy. The male teacher said that once he truly walks out of here, he will never be beaten again, and he believes it. Because the male teacher is a friend of Uncle Changsheng, he certainly would not deceive him

The composition of Class B troops is maintained at seventy-five to eighty-five percent of full strength, equipped with standard equipment, and they do not undertake combat duty, primarily responsible for garrison tasks in various regions and cities. Due to the relatively fewer logistics and equipment, they possess better mobility compared to Class A troops; they also include reconnaissance units and all-weather rapid response forces

"You guess." The baby's eyes rolled around, laughing while tearing open a Wangwang snow cake to nibble on.

Are you afraid of your father? the male officer asked

Two people repeat this action, again and again

"Why are you hitting me, Dou Baobao?" Xiao Yuanchao turned his head and asked

Xiao Yuanchao immediately bent down to pick up the Wangwang snow cake and placed it back into Du Baobao's arms once again

"Hehe, this is more like it." The little girl snatched the snow cake and, acting like a grown-up, patted Xiao Yuanchao's head twice, saying: "My name is Du Baobao, and from now on, you will follow me. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name."

The female officer opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Yuanchao for quite a while, pausing her pen over his name for a considerable time, contemplating whether to strike it out.

"If I don't go home soon, my dad will beat me to death." Xiao Yuanchao wiped his face vigorously, his expression full of pleading as he said, "Teacher, I want to go home. I don't want to play hide and seek with you anymore. If you see Uncle Changsheng, please tell him that I have dug a very big hole, and I invite him to come to my house to play hide and seek."

More than twenty children were sitting inside the bus, the youngest being around seven or eight years old, and the oldest no more than ten or so. They looked outside in terror, some shivering, while others began to cry outright.

Once he solidified this belief, the fear instilled by his father was suppressed, allowing him to take the first step in human social behavior—making friends—with a relaxed mindset

The regular armed forces of China are composed of two main parts: the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force. According to the classification by military branches, they can be further divided into the Army, Navy, Air Force, Second Artillery Corps, and Armed Police.

Oh. Xiao Yuanchao let out a sound, handed all the Wangwang snow cakes to Du Baobao, and timidly said: "Du Baobao, you, you... can you play with me?"

Xiao Yuanchao stared blankly at Du Baobao for a while, then bent down to pick up the Wangwang snow cakes one by one and placed them back into Du Baobao's arms. Afterwards, he looked at the other person with a face full of hope, his lips moved slightly but he did not speak

The special forces are the highest-rated units and are also the most mysterious, primarily tasked with national missions. Their special forces are organized in the form of three companies: the Martyrs Company, the Special Operations Company, and the Red Flag Company

Xiao Yuanchao was unsure how to get outside, but he knew that as long as he walked out with the picture book by himself, his father would never hit him again

The female soldier glanced up and her gaze fell upon a delicate little girl, unable to help but smile. She took a pen and wrote a line on the folder: All babies, A +.

Xiao Yuanchao smiled broadly and nodded vigorously

"Why are you still crying?" The baby scrunched up his adorable little nose, reached out to grab both of Xiao Yuanchao's ears and pulled them outward with force, laughing as he said: "Crybaby, scaredy-cat, if you keep it up, your arms will break and your legs will snap, hehe... Tell me, sister, what is your name? If you don’t say it, I will turn you into Zhu Bajie."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yuanchao sat down abruptly, vigorously wiping his tear-streaked face, and stared blankly at the cliff outside the window

The nearby baby pouted her lips, her chubby little face full of disdain. She shifted her bottom to sit outward, tossing all the Wangwang snow cakes in her hand to Xiao Yuanchao, displaying a proud little demeanor

The personnel of Class A troops are fully staffed, with an average presence rate exceeding 97% during peacetime, equipped with advanced weaponry, and ready to be deployed for large-scale warfare at any time. They typically exist in the form of group armies, such as the 1st Group Army, the 13th Group Army, and the 38th Group Army, among others, and also include independent special forces organized by various military regions, such as the Eastern Divine Sword and the Southwest Falcon

Willing! The baby crossed his arms and propped his legs up, making a disdainful sound with his mouth

"So are you good friends with Uncle Changsheng?" Xiao Yuanchao pressed on.

The selection of personnel is extremely stringent; in addition to the third-generation political review, certain specialized skills are also required. Typically, the focus is on individuals from revolutionary families, but recruitment is also open to civilians

"Hee hee hee..." When this action was repeated for the thirteenth time, the baby began to laugh heartily, finding this crybaby quite amusing

Xiao Yuanchao turned around to face Du Baobao and said very seriously: "Du Baobao, you are my first friend, and from now on, I will give you all my Wangwang snow cakes"

Hmph! The baby poked Xiao Yuanchao hard with his elbow, and then looked proudly at the top of the car.

Xiao Yuanchao nodded awkwardly, reaching out to wipe away a tear

The narrow mountain road has no guardrails at all, and directly below the road surface lies a bottomless cliff; falling down would result in certain death.

"Little baby," Xiao Yuanchao said with a yearning tone, "Can you play with me? Can we be good friends?"

Xiao Yuanchao, why do you want to go home? Are you afraid?" The male officer halted the actions of the female officer and inquired.

Xiao Yuanchao bent down without hesitation to pick it up and placed it in Du Baobao's arms, only to have it shaken off again by Du Baobao, who then picked it up once more

Sitting there, nibbling on Wangwang rice crackers, Xiao Yuanchao blinked his tear-filled eyes and obediently handed the Wangwang rice crackers in his hand to the little girl

The personnel of Class B troops account for approximately only 40 percent of the authorized strength, primarily focusing on internal stability maintenance. They are generally stationed in secondary areas, the most interior regions, and border stability maintenance areas, predominantly consisting of armed police forces. There are also well-equipped counter-terrorism special operations forces, notably including the SPC special forces, internationally referred to as the "Red Elite".

"Give me all your Wangwang snow cakes! Otherwise, I will hit you!" The girl placed her left hand on her hip and raised her right fist, threatening the boy sitting next to her

Du Baobao was the first person to speak to him, so he wants to become friends with Du Baobao

The computer displays a dynamic video composed of twenty-four segments, each featuring a close-up of a child's cheek. There are a total of twenty-four children on the bus, corresponding to the twenty-four segments of the video.

Upon seeing the appearance of Xiao Yuanchao, the female officer furrowed her brows and wrote down a line: Xiao Yuanchao, E
