Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 474: Encountering "Golden Gradient" on the road!
"Squad leader, can you please let me treat you?"

After Xu Ye paid the bill again, Li Dabao pleaded in a low voice while holding a candied haws in his hand.

It was only a few days away from the Chinese New Year, and the Ice City was very lively at this time. Xu Ye, who was strolling around enthusiastically, did not hear clearly.

"What do you say?"

Xu Ye turned his head and asked.

Seeing that his squad leader was in high spirits, Li Dabao hesitated for a moment and said, "Squad leader, I said I'll help you get your things!"

But what they didn’t know was that for Xu Ye, this kind of leisurely time of strolling and eating had not been experienced for a long time.

When was the last time you had so much free time?

Even though Xu Ye's brain was working very well now, he still couldn't remember things clearly.

"Need not!"

Xu Ye waved his hand, then pointed and said, "That thing looks good. Let's go buy some!"

"it is good!"

Li Dabao hurried to catch up.

Xu Ye now has a strong physique and strong digestive ability. In a word, he can eat!
Xu Ye is a good eater, and Li Dabao is not bad either.

So, during this trip, Xu Ye and his companions tried almost all the special snacks from Northeast China.

It is only the beginning of 2003 now, and unlike later times, food streets all over the country are almost the same.

If there really isn’t, developed e-commerce and logistics will also allow us to enjoy specialties from all over the country in a short period of time.

It’s not that convenient now, but there is a good side to it, which is that it’s more authentic when you’re there in person.

"Squad leader, there's really no need!"

Li Dabao, holding a bunch of nutritional supplements and gifts, said with a sad face.

"What nonsense?"

"I've already bought it, can I return it?"

Coming out of the mall, Xu Ye, who had been nagged by him all the way, glared at him and said unhappily.

You can't just go there empty-handed, right?
"I should be able to withdraw, right?" Li Dabao said with a lack of confidence.

He came from a small city, and this was his first time visiting his own provincial capital, Ice City.

As for Chuncheng, the capital of Yunnan Province near his base, Li Dabao had never visited the city specifically.

As I said, even though Li Dabao is quite eloquent in front of Xu Ye, he is only able to speak in front of Xu Ye.

"Hmm? You squad leader, I'm not short of money!"

Xu Ye glared at him fiercely, said something, and walked quickly towards the car.

This guy, why didn’t I notice he was so talkative before!
Hearing this, Li Dabao felt helpless and quickly followed with his things in his arms.

Of course he knew that Xu Ye was indeed not short of money.

A few months ago, Xu Ye stopped receiving the 100-yuan allowance for conscripts and started receiving the salary of a major.

And this is only part of Xu Ye’s income, the other part is royalties.

A lot of royalties!

So, in comparison, as Xu Ye just said, he really has no shortage of money.

However, they don't know that Xu Ye's apparent income is nothing compared to the wealth he currently has in the system space.

"Let's go!"

Glancing at the ice and snow world not far away, Xu Ye felt a little regretful.

"You go to the back and sleep, I'll drive!"

Looking at the snowflakes starting to fall from the sky, Xu Ye walked towards the driver's seat.

It was snowing, and if Li Dabao was asked to drive, especially at night, Xu Ye would not be at ease.

In more than a year, Li Dabao is pretty good at driving an infantry fighting vehicle, but his driving an off-road vehicle is just average as he has little time and opportunities to experience the vehicle.

"good monitor!"

Li Dabao slammed the trunk shut without any hesitation.

Xu Ye taught them that they should not try to be tough when they shouldn't.

Otherwise, you will definitely pay the corresponding price.

And Xu Ye did not lie to them, he really let them experience it firsthand...

Looking at the road covered with ice and snow, Li Dabao had no confidence at all.

"Captain, I will finish my family affairs as soon as possible, and then we can go to Ice City for a good stroll!"

Li Dabao noticed Xu Ye's look just now, and felt a little guilty.

For his own sake, the monitor gave up his hard-earned vacation.

"It's okay. Business is more important. If you want to have fun, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xu Ye drove slowly out of the parking space and said casually.

Although the Ice City today is not as big as it will be a decade later, it is still not something that can be visited completely in just a few hours.

Just now they were not so much out for fun as they were just eating and shopping.

They did not visit any of the famous attractions in the Ice City, such as Central Avenue, Sophia Square, and the famous Ice and Snow World. They just took a look at them while driving by.

I have to say, Xu Ye really wants to play.

But, business is important!
Let’s deal with Li Dabao’s family affairs first, and we can deal with other matters later if we have time.

"Ok!"

Li Dabao nodded and said nothing more.

However, Li Dabao kept Xu Ye's friendship firmly in his heart.

Ten minutes later, Li Dabao looked out the window with a sense of relief.

In such a short time, he has witnessed at least three car accidents.

Fortunately, everyone was driving slowly, so there was no serious problem and they did not stop to help.

"Are you scared?"

Noticing the change in Li Dabao's expression, Xu Ye asked with a smile.

Fortunately, his driving skills have reached expert level and the car he is driving is a well-maintained military off-road vehicle. Otherwise, Xu Ye would not have driven at night.

"Report, no fear!"

Li Dabao subconsciously sat up straight and answered loudly.

Then, remembering what Xu Ye had said before, he quickly relaxed his body, "As long as you are brave and careful, most accidents can be avoided!"

"Well, you're right!" Xu Ye nodded, "Many accidents are caused by carelessness and negligence."

“But being bold and careful can only avoid most of it.”

"If you want to completely eliminate it, you have to remember one thing."

"The more skilled, the more daring!"

“Without great skills, it will be useless when faced with real difficulties, no matter how bold or careful you are!”

After a pause, Xu Ye said calmly in a calm tone: "Just like me!"

"Squad leader, I understand!"

Nodding, Li Dabao agreed with it and didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Ye's last sentence.

Because, in his opinion, no, it should be that in the eyes of everyone who knows Xu Ye, it is like that. Xu Ye's words were not self-praise or complacency at all, but a statement of a fact.

"I understand. Go to sleep. I'll call you if anything happens!"

Xu Ye slowed down the car again and urged.

Li Dabao has a strong understanding, but it was not properly developed in the past. Fortunately, he met himself.

Soon, Li Dabao's snoring could be heard from the back seat.

Being able to fall asleep quickly anytime and anywhere is one of the skills that special forces must master.

In this regard, Xu Ye is somewhat inferior to Li Dabao.

At least, Xu Ye can't fall asleep in three seconds, but Li Dabao can.

Although Li Dabao has grown a lot in the past year, his character is still somewhat pure and kind, which is in his bones.

The less you think, the faster you fall asleep!

He shook his head slightly and smiled, then Xu Ye sighed in his heart.

The further out of the city you go, the less traffic there is. Even though there is a layer of ice on the road, the speed is still faster than in the city.

If Li Dabao hadn't fallen asleep, he would have personally experienced what it means to be skilled and daring!
Relying on the map in his mind and his strong sense of direction and distance, Xu Ye was not worried about getting lost at all in an era without mobile phone navigation.

This is something that even many experienced drivers cannot do, except on routes they often travel.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people holding signs saying “Lead the Way” at the entrances to major cities.

"Ok?"

Feeling the car suddenly slow down, Li Dabao woke up from his sleep with some alertness.

"There's something going on ahead!"

Hearing the noise behind, Xu Ye said softly.

However, if you listen carefully, you will find that Xu Ye's voice is somewhat interested, as if he has discovered something interesting.

Hearing Xu Ye's voice, Li Dabao's originally tense body relaxed instantly, and he let out a breath.

With the squad leader around, I always feel at ease.

Obviously, even Li Dabao and others passed the psychological assessment.

However, to completely restore to the past is not impossible, but it is very unlikely.

All we can do is to minimize its impact.

Therefore, when Xu Ye submitted an application for giving everyone a holiday, the higher-ups approved it very readily.

I took out the electronic watch Xu Ye gave me and took a look. It was a little after three in the morning.

I glanced out the car window and saw that everything in sight was covered with white snow, which looked a bit bleak under the moonlight.

Feeling that the car was slowing down, Li Dabao slowly sat up.

"Dabao, what level of protection is the Siberian tiger?"

Seeing Li Dabao sitting up, Xu Ye was eager to try.

Golden gradient!

Super large golden gradient!

"Siberian tiger?"

“It’s a first-class national protected animal!”

Hearing this, the last bit of confusion in Li Dabao's mind was thrown out.

"real or fake?"

After realizing what was happening, Li Dabao leaned forward impatiently.

As a person from Northeast China, I have definitely seen the Siberian tiger, and more than once.

But, they are all locked up in zoos.

Wild Siberian tiger?
Or the wild Siberian tiger blocking the road, I have only heard of it!

This is not an era where short videos are everywhere. If someone encounters a wild Siberian tiger on the road, almost everyone in the country will know about it within a few hours.

"look by youself!"

Xu Ye pointed to a place not far ahead, where a huge golden tabby was walking in the middle of the road, looking very majestic and domineering.

The huge body directly blocked two lanes.

Especially now that the road is covered with heavy snow, it is difficult for Xu Ye to force his way through.

It’s not that you can’t, it’s just that you’re not good!

The main reason is that it is unnecessary. If you force your way through, your car might get scratched a few times, and you would feel a little embarrassed when you return the car.

So, let's wait and see until it passes!
By the way, you can also observe the majestic appearance of wild Siberian tigers.

Of course, while observing, Xu Ye had already put his hand on the holster.

The Siberian tiger, especially the wild Siberian tiger, is definitely not a golden shaded tiger!
Even if they were unarmed, he and Li Dabao together would not be a match for the wild Siberian tiger.

Of course, when there are weapons, that's another matter.

Besides, they are still in the car.

That's why Li Dabao looked very interested instead of wanting to run away immediately.

"How domineering!"

With the help of the car lights, Li Dabao quickly spotted the Siberian tiger not far away.

After all, he is the king of beasts, and he looks mighty and majestic.

"No, squad leader, it's coming!" Li Dabao said a little panicked.

Faced with hundreds of drug dealers who killed people without blinking an eye and did all kinds of evil things, Li Dabao was not panicked at all.

But at this moment, Li Dabao was a little nervous.

There is no way. I had a light machine gun at that time, but now I have nothing.

"It's okay, I have a gun!" Xu Ye comforted with a smile.

Not to mention Li Dabao, even if it was him, if he really didn't have a gun, it would be best for him to run away.

After all, golden shaded cats are good, but life is more important!
"That's good!"

Hearing this, Li Dabao breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed immediately.

With Xu Ye's marksmanship and a gun in hand, Li Dabao would not be worried at all even if a group of wild Siberian tigers came, let alone one.

Every one that comes dies, and every litter that comes dies.

After hesitating for a while, Li Dabao said, "Squad leader, if you can avoid killing me, it's better not to."

"After all, the Siberian tiger is a first-class protected animal in China."

As a native of Northeast China, Li Dabao has a complicated mentality towards the king of the forests in Northeast China.

The Siberian tiger is indeed powerful, but its numbers are decreasing sharply due to the relentless pressure from humans.

Otherwise, it would not have been listed as a national first-class protected animal in the 1980s and 1990s.

And Xu Ye even knows that the number of Siberian tigers today may not be as large as in the future.

"You don't have to say it!"

Xu Ye said unhappily.

Don't forget, he also has a skill, animal taming!

Thanks to Xiaotian's contribution, he has now reached the expert level.

Therefore, Xu Ye also likes some animals, especially some good-looking ones.

Looking at the Siberian tiger slowly walking towards him, Xu Ye even wanted to pet it.

"Hey, that's not right!"

At this moment, the Siberian tiger was getting closer, and Xu Ye keenly noticed something unusual.

Although the expert-level animal training skills did not enable Xu Ye to understand animal language, he knew much more about animals than the average person.

Of course, what Xu Ye is most familiar with is Gou Zi.

Especially Xiaotian, Xu Ye could understand what it meant with just one look or one roar.

"Something's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Dabao was a little confused.

However, if the squad leader said something was wrong, then it was definitely not right.

"Oh, something is really wrong!"

At this moment, the Siberian tiger came closer, and Li Dabao finally discovered something unusual.

There is indeed something wrong with this Siberian tiger. The reason why I felt it was so majestic and powerful just now was more due to the influence of my inherent thinking.

Now that we are closer, we can clearly feel that this Siberian tiger is a little listless and its walking posture is a little abnormal.

"It should be the left hind leg that is injured!" Xu Ye said, opening the holster.

Wild Siberian tigers are dangerous, and injured wild Siberian tigers are even more dangerous.

According to the short video of Professor Luo's lecture that he watched in his previous life, in this situation, Xu Ye shot and killed the wild Siberian tiger as an emergency measure to avoid danger and he does not need to bear criminal responsibility.

"It should be a trap!" Xu Ye continued.

Not to mention now, even when Xu Ye traveled through time, he could still occasionally see news about Siberian tigers being injured by traps.

"Squad leader, it's stopped!"

When he saw the Siberian tiger stop five or six meters in front of the car, Li Dabao lowered his voice.
