Chapter 987 – A New Candidate

　　”Hello, may I ask where Captain Lin is?” The man saw the cloaks of Chubby Baili and the others and recognized them as people from the [Night Curtain] squad and immediately asked.

　　”You’re looking for Seven Nights? What is it?”

　　”Oh, I’ve come to transfer this Star Ocean Medal of Captain Lin for Commander Zuo.” The man couldn’t help but feel emotional, “I’ve heard that Captain Lin has made a great achievement this time in the High Heavenly Plains in a forceful battle against the gods, I’ve long admired him for a long time.”

　　The air fell into a dead silence.

　　Fang Mo’s smile froze on his face, and even Lu Baoyu, who was silently peeling his fingers, shook his tiger’s body and accidentally cut his fingers.

　　The recruits opened their mouths wide in shock ……

　　”Oh, that’s so.” Baili Chubby opened his mouth with a smile and reached out to point in Lin Qiye’s direction, “He’s over there.”

　　”Thanks.”

　　That person’s figure shifted and disappeared in place.

　　In the next moment, the entire training ground exploded!

　　Lin Qiye received the Star Ocean Medal from that night watchman’s hands.This was the first time that Lin Qiye, had been awarded a personal Star Ocean Medal, the previous two all group medals represented the feats of the entire [Night Curtain], he scrutinized the personal medals once more, and found that apart from the fact that the back of the medals had his name engraved on it, the rest didn’t seem to be any different.

　　”Personal Star Ocean Medal?” Yuan Gang brought many instructors and smiled, “This thing, I haven’t seen it for many years …… It seems that you went out this time and made amazing feats?”

　　”Just luck.” Lin Qiye put the medallion away and smiled, skimming over the question lightly.

　　Yuan Gang didn’t ask more questions and landed his gaze on the wooden box behind Lin Qiye’s back and asked suspiciously, “Hmm? When did you, too, start carrying a black box?”

　　”There’s a sword that isn’t too good to put away, so I’ll put it in the box for now.”

　　The black box behind Lin Qiye’s back contained the divine weapon that he had snatched from the High Heavenly Plains, the Tian Cong Yun Sword.

　　Because of its “nothing can be cut” characteristic, it couldn’t be put into any sheath, so Lin Qiye could only use the black box to store it, using the metal to jam the hilt of the Heavenly Clouds Sword to ensure that the blade didn’t touch the black box as well as any objects.

　　”This morning, we received an order from Commander Zuo requesting that the recruits be finished within ten days.” Yuan Gang looked at Lin Qiye, “What do you think?”

　　Talking about the main topic, Lin Qiye’s expression turned serious.

　　”Ten days is definitely not enough time, whether it’s used to enhance physical fitness or elevate the realm, so I want to start with something else.” Lin Qiye paused, “Actually, on the way here, we’ve already briefly discussed a program ……”

　　Lin Qiye briefly told the instructors about the program the squad had discussed, and the instructors looked at each other in disbelief.

　　”This …… is a first in the history of the training camp.” Yuan Gang was thoughtful, “But under special circumstances, doing this might indeed have a strange effect.”

　　”Do you think it is feasible?”

　　”Feasible.” Yuan Gang nodded, “When do you plan to take them away?”

　　”We’ve roughly calculated that this adventure will only take about seven days combined, before that, I want to give them a vacation first.” Lin Qiye said seriously.

　　”A vacation?” Yuan Gang froze.

　　”This time, the load of the training program will be huge, and they’ve already gone through four months of intense training, so being in a high-pressure state all the time will instead have a negative effect.

　　As it happens, aren’t these two days going to be the New Year? Let them have a good rest first, and after the New Year, we’ll set off.”

　　Yuan Gang pondered for a moment, looked at the boiling recruits in the distance, and let out a long sigh.

　　”Good thing too, after all, wait until the war starts, who knows what their fate will be …… Perhaps for quite a long time to come, they won’t be able to rest.”

　　Yuan Gang’s words fell, as if he had thought of something, frowning in contemplation.

　　”What’s wrong Instructor Yuan?”

　　”I suddenly thought of something.” Yuan Gang spoke with an odd expression, “If these three days are on vacation, the …… time is a bit uncoincidental.”

　　Lin Qiye froze, “Why?”

　　Yuan Gang raised his head and looked in a certain direction with a complicated expression.

　　”Recently, Shangjing City …… is going to change.”

　　Shangjing City.

　　Squad 006’s residence.

　　Shao Pingge stood in front of the window, looking at the bare tree branches in the courtyard outside the window, and let out a long sigh.

　　He pressed the cell phone to his ear and slowly spoke, “So the war is really coming?”

　　”Uh-huh.” Zuo Qing’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “We only have ten days left, within ten days, you must take care of things in Shangjing City, and it’s best to finish it within these two days.

　　Shangjing is the heart of Daxia, and also the location where the Nightwatchman’s headquarters is located, this matter, you must be cautious and make no mistakes.”

　　”…… I know.”

　　Shao Pingge closed his eyes helplessly.

　　”I know that you have a lazy personality and don’t like those fighting and killing things, but since the war has come to us of its own accord, we have no choice.” Zuo Qing added, “The frontline, can’t be without you Shao Pingge.”

　　”Don’t worry, I can still carry the weight.” Shao Pingge shrugged, “The new candidate, have you found him yet?”

　　”Found a good one, I’ll fax you his information in a moment.”

　　”Is it reliable?”

　　”Very reliable, he’s that person’s agent, whether it’s strength, heart, or divine ruin, he’s the most suitable.” Zuo Qing spoke with certainty, “I’ve already given him a transfer order, tonight at the latest, he will arrive in Shangjing.”

　　”Alright.”

　　After saying that, Shao Pingge hung up the phone.

　　His gaze fell through the window and landed on the martial arts practice field behind the courtyard, where several members of Team 006 were practicing against each other, laughing and cursing.

　　Shao Pingge stood still, like a statue.

　　A few minutes later, the dripping sound of the fax machine sounded.

　　Soon, a document appeared on Shao Pingge’s desk.

　　He returned to his senses, took a step to the desk, reached out and picked up the document from the table, and read it carefully.

　　”Former leader of the 332nd squad stationed in Anta County, Chen Han ……,” he muttered.

　　Anta County.

　　A dilapidated two-story building stood alone before the barren jungle, the red walls had already faded extensively, and on the right side of the doorway, there was a long yellowed sign.Anta County Forest Ranger Bureau.

　　Snow drifted down from the gray sky, and in this city in the northern border of Daxia, the temperature was already as low as more than twenty degrees below zero.

　　The uneven open space in front of the door of the short house was already covered with white frost, and a young man wearing an old military coat sat quietly on the stone steps of the staircase with a rolled cigarette in his mouth, wisps of smoke rising from the burning tip.

　　He took a deep breath and slowly spat …… out in the hazy mist, his eyes flashed with a touch of ghostly color, and the whole person s temperament was suddenly deep.
