My Military Career in a Parallel World

Chapter 255 An unexpected discovery on the train!

"Little brother, we've arrived."

"Rich?"

"Seventy-nine dollars and a half."

"Give."

Jiang Chen calculated silently in his mind and thought he was not being ripped off, so he took out a hundred yuan and handed it over.

After keeping the change, Jiang Chen put on his backpack and got off the bus.

It might be because he had been staying in the army after traveling through time and had no place to spend money, which caused Jiang Chen's concept of money to remain in the era before traveling through time. He almost forgot that although prices in this era are cheaper, it is also more difficult to make money.

If Jiang Chen remembered correctly, in his previous life, his first job after coming to Changan was as an apprentice in a car repair shop. In addition to basic food and accommodation, he was only paid 300 yuan a month. The basic salary of an ordinary auto mechanic seemed to be just over 3,000 yuan.

And he just spent one-third of his previous life's monthly salary just on taxi fare.

With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chen walked to the gate of Northwestern Polytechnical University, and was stopped by the security guard at the gate: "Young comrade, wait a minute, outsiders are not allowed to enter here."

Although he had been away from the army for almost a month, Jiang Chen subconsciously raised his hand and saluted when he saw the sentry at the door.

There was nothing wrong with him, but the security guard was made a little flustered. He quickly raised his hand and saluted in a crooked manner.

"Master, I'm a student at Northwestern Polytechnical University. I took a leave of absence last year to join the army. I'm here to handle some formalities."

Jiang Chen didn't care about these things. He took out his admission letter and soldier's ID from his backpack and handed them over.

The security guard took the ID from Jiang Chen, looked at it carefully, and registered at the door before letting him in.

Although there are still a few days before school starts, the campus of Northwestern Polytechnical University has already become bustling.

The campus of Northwestern Polytechnical University is very large, and it is impossible for Jiang Chen to visit it all.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was not lying to the security guard just now. He came to Northwestern Polytechnical University because he really had something to do, otherwise, he would not have spent so much money to take a taxi here.

He first took out his cell phone and called his college counselor to explain the purpose of his trip.

After Jiang Chen was admitted to the Army Command College, his academic record was transferred from Northwestern Polytechnical University to the Army Command College through internal connections.

But there are still some procedures that require Jiang Chen to come in person to handle.

The procedure is not complicated, and most of the time is wasted on waiting for people and walking.

After working for more than an hour, I finally got everything done.

From then on, Jiang Chen had no connection with this famous university.

All kinds of information including his identity, home address, educational background, etc. will be hidden, and no one except the troops and military academy leaders will have the right to view it.

It’s the same in my hometown. Everyone only knows that there is a person named Jiang Chen, but if they want to check his information, they can only get the result of “no such person”.

Jiang Chen’s name will no longer appear in the household registration book.

Time was limited, and Jiang Chen had to catch the afternoon train, so he just wandered around the school, tried the cafeteria of NPU, and finally went to see the famous sculpture "Hiding one's identity, forging a sword for the country".

This trip to Northwestern Polytechnical University has come to an end.

If you are in a hurry when you get here, there is no need to spend money on the way back.

He asked the security guard at the door about the bus route to the train station, and finally took one last look at the gate of Northwestern Polytechnical University. Under the security guard's puzzled and regretful gaze, Jiang Chen left with his bag.

Indeed, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand why Jiang Chen would give up a good double-first-class prestigious university to join the army.

In fact, Jiang Chen himself didn't know.

Perhaps, everything was destined when he traveled to this world.

……

The Army Command College is located in Jinling City, Bulk Province.

It takes about 17 or 18 hours to get there by train from Chang'an.

The ticket Jiang Chen bought was still a soft sleeper.

The only difference was that this time he couldn't buy a ticket for the lower berth.

Just like before, after getting in the car, Jiang Chen lay directly on his bed and his consciousness entered the dream space to continue his training.

Although he seemed calm, Jiang Chen was actually somewhat nervous.

After all, whether in his past life or this life, the word "university" was unknown to him.

Don’t be fooled by what you read online about college life being easy and comfortable. If you don’t want to go to class, you don’t have to go to class. If you have nothing to do, you can join a club and have a little love affair that may not be perfect but will definitely be unforgettable…

In fact, the competitive pressure within a truly famous university is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If you don't kill others, you will be killed by others.

Not to mention, Jiang Chen went to a military academy.

That's where the real kings of rolls gather!

Not only do you have to take exams on cultural subjects, you also have to take exams on physical fitness and military skills...

Fortunately, Jiang Chen is least afraid of internal competition.

It's just time, it's just working hard, it's the same for everyone, can you be more competitive than me?

Jiang Chen just doesn't believe that he can't beat others even with the golden finger!

Moreover, compared with local candidates, these promoted and recommended students have obvious first-mover advantages.

At least that's the case in terms of physical fitness and military skills.

Other soldiers may have gaps in academic subjects and learning abilities compared to local candidates, but Jiang Chen does not have this worry.

No matter what, the original owner was a talented person who was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University on his own ability. Having accepted the original owner's memories in their entirety, he is no less capable than anyone in this regard.

He stayed in the dream space until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The train temporarily stopped at a train station in a small county town. Jiang Chen took this opportunity to climb out of bed and make a bowl of instant noodles.

He was sitting at a small table outside the aisle eating when he saw a couple walking over with their three children.

As luck would have it, their beds were in the same room as Jiang Chen's.

Before the couple had packed their things, a child on the bed started crying, and then the remaining two also started crying as if the start button had been pressed.

Although he knew it was normal for children of this age to cry, Jiang Chen still frowned subconsciously.

If you were to ask what people fear most when taking a train or a long-distance bus, there is no doubt that the crying of children would be among the top ones.

This is a soft sleeper car, so it's slightly better. If it were any other car, it would be a real headache.

If one child cries, all the children in the car will cry together.

That taste, that feeling, only those who have experienced it will know.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The husband picked up the child and comforted him while apologizing to the passengers in nearby carriages.

Jiang Chen waved his hands to indicate that it was nothing. It was normal for children, especially those who had not yet been weaned, to cry.

However, Jiang Chen couldn't understand why the couple would take such young children on a long journey, and there were three of them...

However, these had nothing to do with Jiang Chen. He climbed onto the bed and entered the dream space to continue his own business.

only……

Jiang Chen can also receive information from the real world in the dream space.

In the past year or so, he was either in the military camp or at home, and he would try to choose quieter soft sleeper trains when taking the train. Even if there was occasional noise outside, it would not have much impact on Jiang Chen.

But that’s not the case now.

The noise made by three little kids crying together was really too loud.

Also, don’t forget the time ratio between dreams and reality. A sound that originally lasted for one minute will be doubled to ten minutes after entering the dream space.

Although the dream space can weaken some of the interference from the outside world, it was only after the sharp cry of the child and the time that increased tenfold that Jiang Chen truly understood what the ultimate long-lasting pain was.

There is no way to study anymore, so I can only use my energy on physical training, which is relatively less susceptible to distractions.

But even so, Jiang Chen was still tortured severely.

After training for so long, Jiang Chen has long achieved the point where he is not disturbed by external factors during training.

After all, the battlefield cannot be a quiet environment. No matter what you do, you have to get used to the sound of gunfire that may ring around your ears at any time.

But no matter what, you can't stand someone bombarding your ears for hours. The key is that after one wave of bombs, there is another wave, and you have no idea when the shells will fall...

"Alas, this evening is wasted." Jiang Chen sighed and returned to reality.

At this time, the carriage was dark, with only a few lights for illumination. Jiang Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at the pair of beds opposite.

In order to take care of the child more conveniently, the couple exchanged seats with another passenger in the lower bunk.

Since Jiang Chen was sleeping on the upper bunk, he could see everything the couple did at a glance.

But it was this unintentional glance that suddenly gave Jiang Chen an unusual feeling in his heart.

He has a very good memory, and he has received professional memory training in the reconnaissance company.

Although it was just a brief encounter, he had already firmly remembered the couple's appearance.

Long-term night training also makes Jiang Chen more adaptable to dark environments than ordinary people.

Although the lighting in the car is a little dim now, it does not affect vision.

Jiang Chen glanced at the appearance of the two children at the head of the bed, and recalled the appearance of the couple. He always felt that something was not right.

Regardless of whether they look like their parents, these three children don't look like a family.

One child might grow up a little differently, but if all three children grew up a little differently and didn't look alike at all, that would be too strange.

As he was thinking, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he also thought of a very suspicious place.

Judging from their ages, the three children do not seem to have been born in the same year. Combined with their looks, we can basically rule out the possibility of triplets.

As we all know, a gestational age of ten months means that humans can only give birth to one baby a year at most.

Then the problem is coming.

Excluding triplets and twins, using the most extreme method of calculation, the age difference between the three children must be at least one year.

But the current situation is that, no matter how you look at it, these three children don’t look like they are one year apart in age.

Children change a lot. Not to mention one or two years old, even after half a year or a few months, you can see very obvious differences.

Although Jiang Chen had not received any professional training in this area and did not know how to distinguish the age of children, he could still see such an obvious difference.

"Human traffickers!"

These three words popped up in Jiang Chen's mind almost instantly.

Not to mention now, even twenty years later, after several campaigns against organized crime and when social order has become extremely stable, human traffickers have still not been completely eliminated.

Just when Jiang Chen was about to take another look to confirm the situation, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the man sleeping on the upper bunk opposite him seemed to have noticed something and was looking at him.

Jiang Chen quickly retracted his gaze and closed his eyes slightly, leaving only a slit to observe the situation.

Fortunately, because the lights in the car were dim, the man did not notice what Jiang Chen had just done.

It was the other party's vigilant behavior that made Jiang Chen more certain of his guess.

Although it was basically certain that the couple opposite were 90% human traffickers, Jiang Chen did not dare to act rashly.

Even though his fighting ability is extraordinary, if a real fight breaks out, unless the opponent has a gun, a man and a woman alone will definitely not be his match.

The reality is that, not to mention that there are so many passengers in the carriage, just the three children in the lower bunk, the oldest of whom is less than two years old, forced Jiang Chen to temporarily suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart.

He has to find an opportunity to contact the train police first, and then think of a way to ensure the safety of the three children. Otherwise, even if he has tremendous abilities, it will be useless!

Children are not adults, so don't take any risks!

……

The man sleeping on the upper bunk seemed to be sleeping, but Jiang Chen could feel that every once in a while, his eyes would sweep over him and another passenger on the lower bunk.

"I said that I had tried to give up my lower bunk but was rejected by this man. It turns out that he was waiting here..."

After using the dream space to carefully observe the two people's every move after they got on the car, Jiang Chen became more and more certain of his judgment.

If there was a slight possibility of mistake before, then now these two people disguised as a couple are 100% sure to be human traffickers.

The man seemed to have done nothing since he got on the car, but in fact he had already clearly understood the situations in the nearby rooms.

The young male passenger who was sleeping under Jiang Chen and dressed like a traveler was almost giving away all his family assets to others.

Only Jiang Chen, who was sleeping on the upper bunk with his eyes closed, did not give the man a chance to ask questions.

Otherwise, given his current state, he would only need to be slightly influenced by the man, and with the help of the young man in the lower bunk who almost had his bank card password stolen, his identity as a soldier would most likely be revealed directly by the other party.

If this is true, then it will be difficult for him to take any further action.

"I've been staying at home for a while, so it has had some impact!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly warn himself in his heart that he must never make a similar mistake again.

When Jiang Chen got on the train, he specifically looked at the stations where the train would stop along the way.

According to the previous train broadcast, the nearest station should arrive around three in the morning.

It is already one o'clock in the morning, which means Jiang Chen has two hours at most.

Obviously, this arrival time should have been specially selected by the other party.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence!

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when the train station has the least traffic, and most of the passengers in the carriage are asleep at this time...
