The sturdy young man with slightly darker skin smiled at Han Yanyan and stood up. "I am Qi Lei, the captain of a company in the Nanling Military District."
He was not alone; behind him were eight or nine similarly strong men. Each one carried a gun with a pouch of bullets at their waist. They stood tall and straight, resembling soldiers. However, the "Nanling Military District" no longer held any meaning for them. After they took off the badges from their caps, ripped off the shoulder insignias from their uniforms, and ceased obeying the orders of the former government, they had fallen from soldiers to outlaws. With home and country lost, everyone was just trying to survive for themselves.
As Qi Lei spoke, he extended a hand toward Han Yanyan. She took his hand and used it for support to stand up. Qi Lei released her hand and said, "I have heard so much about Captain Han, I didn’t expect you to be so young and beautiful."
His grip was steady and strong, like a vice. Those hands had firmly pulled the trigger to eliminate Ding Yao in their last encounter, but due to Ding Yao’s hidden advanced powers, he had narrowly escaped death.
