Fangs

Fitness trainer Lin Feng is slick-tongued, cunning, and full of hot air. His mother forces him to enlist, and he plans to coast for two years before getting out. Squad leader Zhou Yi says, “That mouth of yours is going to get you into trouble one day.” Company commander Lei Ting says, “Second place is just the top loser.” Team leader Old Eagle says, “A special forces soldier isn’t a one-man hero. He’s a screw in a machine.” From the Beast Camp company to exile at a grassland observation post, from hellish selection trials to life-and-death battles against overseas mercenaries, he pushes past his limits, sheds blood, and lets his comrades drag him through the final kilometer. He thinks he can protect everyone. Until his childhood sweetheart falls on the border and tells him, “Live well for me.” Until his best brother retires on crutches and curses him: “You’re a decorated special forces soldier, and you’re going to lay bricks? What a disgrace.” Lin Feng takes off his uniform and slips alone into the jungles of Southeast Asia. Not for revenge, but to keep a promise. Five hundred chapters tell half a man's life. There’s the fire of an underdog rising to the top, the steel of “never leave anyone behind, never give up,” and the tears that come after battles fought through ice and fire. At last, he stands on the training ground and says to the old comrades beside him: “We’re old now.” “But the troops will always be young.” Dedicated to everyone who left their youth in the barracks.
