<h4>Chapter 1827: Chapter 1828: Strength Determines Status</h4>


    Xiang Yu sat in the car for about four hours, and along the way, they could hear the sound of gunfire everywhere.


    Moreover, the road was nked by destroyed buildings, with children ying inside them.


    Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but sigh, how fortunate it is to grow up in China.


    The base here was built on a Gobi Desert, surrounded by hastily erected tents.


    "Damn, this base is so rundown," Tie Zhuzi said as he got off the car.


    "Don’t talk nonsense," Xiang Yu reminded him.


    Tie Zhuzi quickly shut his mouth and stood behind Xiang Yu.


    "Follow me," a person in front called out, leading Xia Cheng and the others toward a tent.


    Entering the tent, it was somewhat dark, and it took a while for them to get used to and see the people inside.


    "Are you Xia Cheng?" a person in front looked at Xiang Yu and asked.


    This person had a shaved head and was very brawny, his muscr body looked intimidating.


    "I am, I’m Xia Cheng," Xia Cheng quickly stepped forward and said.


    Xia Cheng seemed like a child in front of this person.


    "I’m Satman, the captain here," the man introduced himself. "You only brought three people?"


    There was disdain in Satman’s eyes. He had received orders from Commander Cao, saying a colonel-level figure would be arriving from Kaba, and he should arrange them as he wished.


    Xia Cheng quickly said, "I have a team in Kaba, Commander Cao said the situation here isplex, so he sent me to assist you."


    Xia Cheng didn’t want to lower his status, so he lied.


    Satman sneered, full of disdain, "Don’t pretend in front of me, you may be a colonel over there, but your men were all wiped out."


    Xia Cheng felt a bit panicked inside, realizing the other party knew his details.


    "I was assigned by Commander Cao, he sent me to lead you to be stronger," Xia Cheng said confidently.


    Satmanughed heartily after hearing this, and so did the others around.


    "Are you joking? My orders were just to arrange you arbitrarily," Satman turned and looked, "Sirvi, have them join your Team Ten, and keep a close watch on them."


    "Yes," a young man in his early twenties quickly agreed.


    Sirvi stepped forward and looked at Xia Cheng, "From now on, the four of you will follow mymands. There’s just a task this afternoon, you will join."


    "What, you’re having me follow him?" Xia Cheng couldn’t ept this fact and red at Satman.


    Satman ignored Xia Cheng and waved his hand, "You all can leave now."


    "You can’t treat us like this, I was a colonel in Kaba," Xia Cheng was a bit anxious.


    "But here, you’re nothing," Sirvi said and dragged Xia Cheng outside.


    Tie Zhuzi nced at Xiang Yu, only to see Xiang Yu’s calm expression, without any change, and he turned to follow them out.


    Sirvi pulled Xia Cheng to a tent and said, "This tent will be for the four of you from now on. Get familiar with the surroundings, I’lle call you this afternoon."


    Sirvi left after speaking, and Xia Cheng sat there, looking frustrated, saying nothing.


    "Ahem, ahem, Xiao Xuan, don’t be afraid, with Lord Xia Cheng watching over us, we won’t be bullied," Tie Zhuzi said loudly.


    "I know, with Lord Xia here, I feel assured," Xiao Xuan cooperatively responded.


    Xia Cheng’s face turned red, he hadn’t expected things to turn out like this after arriving here.


    "I want to call Commander Cao," Xia Cheng said with anger in his heart.


    He made the call, but no one answered on the other end, fueling his anger, he called again.


    "What’s the matter?" When the call connected, Commander Cao sounded impatient.


    "Commander Cao, I have arrived at the base, but they only arranged for me to be a small soldier," Xia Cheng said with some resentment.


    "Everything has to be done step by step, start from the grassroots without being impatient," Commander Cao perfunctorily said.


    "But..."


    "No buts. If you have the ability, you can disy tremendous capability, even as a small soldier. Work hard there, and don’t call me unless necessary, I’m very busy," Commander Cao said, then hung up.


    Xia Cheng stood there, holding the phone, stunned for a while, then got up and yelled, "What the hell, if I had known, I wouldn’t havee."


    "Hello, why such an explosive temper?" Just then, nine people entered from outside.


    These nine were all strong and looked very formidable.


    Xia Cheng saw them enter and was a bit impatient, "What are you doing, get out."


    The burly man at the frontughed, "I heard there was someone called Xia Cheng in Team Ten, just wanted to see."


    "I heard this person was a colonel-level figure in Kaba," another said mockingly.


    "So we wanted to see what skills this colonel has, we’ve never seen someone of that level,"


    The nine people stood there andughed heartily.


    Xia Cheng knew they were here to provoke trouble, or perhaps to bully the neers, and felt somewhat scared, so he turned to look at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu and the others sat there, having a quiet conversation, ignoring the others.


    "Since you’re a colonel in Kaba, you must have great skills, right? Come on, let’s spar outside," the burly man at the front came forward and pulled at Xia Cheng.


    Xia Cheng knew he was no match for them, so he quickly refused, "A leader relies on wit, not brute force."


    "That’s Kaba. Here, whoever has great skills leads," the burly manughed proudly.


    "Come on, let’s drag him out for some practice," one shouted.


    They all surrounded and dragged Xia Cheng, who was a bit scared, to Xiang Yu and said, "Xiang Yu, hurry, help me."


    Tie Zhuzi stood up andughed, "Since they’re so weing, go out and y with them."


    The othersughed and dragged Xia Cheng outside.


    Hearing that there were neers, people from other teams also came out of the tents, and soon hundreds of people gathered outside to watch the spectacle.


    "Let’s go take a look too," Xiang Yu stood up and headed outside.


    Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, worried about Xiang Yu, followed him out.


    "Come on, let’s spar."


    "Let’s see the skills of the colonel from Kaba."


    "Hurry up, stop stalling."


    The crowd, having finally found entertainment, shouted loudly.


    Xia Cheng stood in the middle, somewhat bewildered, with the burly man from Team Ten in front of him,ughing and ready to make a move.


    "Kid, what are you looking at? Come on, let me test your skills," the burly manughed and lunged at Xia Cheng.


    Xia Cheng was terrified, the man in front of him had a wild look and was strong, not much different from Tie Zhuzi, which frightened him greatly...
