Chapter 135 I Will Follow You
This was the first time I met her, on a sunny afternoon.
The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves onto the training ground of the "garden", and she stood in the light and shadow.
This is a young girl who seems mature beyond her years, exuding a calm temperament that goes beyond her age.
I have read her information. Her name is Jiang Lingyin, she is eighteen years old and her family has some background.
Oh yes, this is my tenth year in this world, and I am already twenty-one years old.
In these long yet short ten years, I have experienced countless ups and downs.
Because of my outstanding performance, I was appointed as the leader of the Dragon Country's first special agent team three years ago.
I completed one difficult and dangerous mission after another.
However, behind the glory and responsibility, I also deeply realize that it will probably be impossible for me to return to my original world throughout my lifetime.
This time, I returned to the "garden" and to the nursery camp.
This is the cradle for training future agents. I once lived here for five whole years.
And now, my identity has become the chief instructor of a new batch of "seedlings".
Not only do I have to train them and make them excellent agents, but I also have to select suitable Dragon Team members from the new "seedlings" entering the park.
Among the many "seedlings", Jiang Lingyin successfully caught my attention.
There was determination and stubbornness in her eyes, as if there was an invisible force supporting her.
The scenes of agent training are extremely cruel.
Every morning, before daybreak, they have to gather quickly at the sound of a shrill whistle and start a ten-kilometer cross-country run with weights.
The road is bumpy, full of gravel and thorns, and you can easily fall and get injured if you are not careful.
Jiang Lingyin carried a heavy backpack and walked with firm steps. Even though her clothes were soaked with sweat and her feet were covered with blisters, she never slowed down.
After physical training, high-intensity combat training follows.
The opponents were merciless, punching hard and each strike was delivered with full force.
Jiang Lingyin was knocked to the ground again and again, but she got up tenaciously again and again. Her body was covered with purple bruises, but her eyes were always full of fighting spirit and she was fearless.
In the simulated combat, the scene is even more thrilling.
There were gunshots all around and smoke filled the air.
Jiang Lingyin shuttled through the complex terrain, dodging bullets that might fly at any time.
Once, she had just hidden in a bunker when a bullet grazed her scalp. It was extremely thrilling.
There is also the daunting psychological stress-resistance training, where one is locked in a dark, small, enclosed space with all kinds of horrific sound effects ringing in one's ears for hours, which is enough to cause a person to have a mental breakdown.
Jiang Lingyin remained calm despite such torture.
While other "seedlings" tried to escape from the "garden" because they could not bear the pressure of training, she never did so.
She is like a small tree that stands firm in the wind. No matter how fierce the wind and rain are, she is firmly rooted in the land.
Her persistence and tenacity made me look at her with new eyes.
It also made me firmly believe that she has the potential to become an excellent agent.
Of course, she graduated with honors from Nursery Camp.
So, I chose her.
Let her join my special agent team.
Later, we carried out many difficult and dangerous missions together.
In a counter-terrorism operation, we faced a group of extremely vicious and well-equipped terrorists.
They occupied a stronghold that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was surrounded by traps and surveillance equipment.
Jiang Lingyin relied on her keen observation and excellent analytical skills to quickly find the enemy's defense loopholes.
In the fierce firefight, she was not afraid at all. She nimbly moved between the hail of bullets, accurately killing one enemy after another, and opened a key breakthrough for our operation.
That assassination mission was even more dangerous.
The target person is surrounded by heavy guards and the security measures are extremely strict.
Jiang Lingyin cleverly disguised herself and blended into the target's location.
At the critical moment, she acted with lightning speed, completed the assassination mission cleanly and neatly, and successfully escaped before the enemy noticed.
Another time when we were escorting scientists back to China, we encountered attacks from multiple hostile forces along the way.
There are cunning snipers lurking in the dark and crazy biker gangs trying to ram the convoy.
Jiang Lingyin always remained highly vigilant. She used her precise shooting skills to repel wave after wave of attacks and her calm judgment to resolve one crisis after another.
During the escort, the convoy was suddenly attacked by a bomb. The road was blown beyond recognition and the team was dispersed.
Jiang Lingyin acted promptly, commanded his teammates to move quickly, and personally stayed behind to ensure the safety of the scientists.
In every mission, Jiang Lingyin demonstrated extraordinary courage, wisdom and decisiveness.
She is always able to step forward at the most critical moments, turn danger into safety, and become the key force in our mission completion.
Until... that time, when the hostages were rescued.
The hostages are family members of a Dragon State politician.
In order to successfully rescue them, our superiors decided to send us out.
But unexpectedly, a traitor appeared inside this seemingly indestructible team.
Because of Leng Shuang's betrayal, we fell into an abyss from which there was no escape, which ultimately led to our total annihilation.
Who could have thought that Leng Shuang, who fought side by side with us and shared the joys and sorrows with us on weekdays, would turn against us at the critical moment.
Perhaps it was the temptation of profit, or perhaps it was the threat, she chose to betray us.
While carrying out that crucial mission, Leng Shuang took advantage of our trust in her and leaked key intelligence to the enemy.
The enemy was therefore fully aware of our action plan and set up a tight net early on.
When we acted according to the predetermined plan, we realized that we had fallen into a trap carefully set by the enemy.
The enemies coming from all directions caught us off guard, and we were surrounded by gunfire and bullets in an instant.
We fought hard and tried to fight our way out, but the enemy's strength and weapons were far beyond our expectations.
Leng Shuang, our former teammate, was now standing in the enemy camp, giving us a ferocious smile.
Her betrayal dealt a heavy blow to our morale.
In the end, under the fierce attack of the enemy, we were outnumbered and fell one by one in a pool of blood. Our entire army was wiped out.
That tragic scene is still vivid in my mind and has become a pain in my heart that can never be erased.
Especially after she was shot, the blood mist that sprayed out really stung my eyes.
It also hurt my heart.
I looked at her face in the last moments before she died.
I said to her: "I'm sorry that I can't take you to see my world."
She said, "I will follow you wherever you go, instructor..."
The world fell into darkness.
