127: Chapter 127 Special Rewards

The blockade of the Tianjiao Camp stretched out into the night.

Blinding searchlights illuminated the entire camp as if it were daylight.

Dozens of armored personnel carriers, painted with the black military insignia, roared into the camp area.

The vehicle doors opened.

Squad after squad of fully armed soldiers jumped off the vehicles with expressionless faces.

They exuded a suffocating aura of slaughter.

These were the disciplinary troops directly under the military command.

Lei Zhan stood before the shattered entrance of the banquet hall, his satellite phone still on the line.

The roaring from the other end of the line could be heard clearly even without using the speakerphone.

It was the voice of the highest commander of the military, filled with suppressed fury.

"Investigate."

"Investigate this thoroughly for me."

"I don't care about the mess in the Ministry of Education."

"But on my territory,"

"in a strategic stronghold like the Tianjiao Camp,"

"a Grand Deacon of the Beast God Cult actually managed to sneak in."

"And he almost took over a hundred of the nation's future pillars down with him."

"This is a disgrace."

"This is a disgrace to the entire Huaguo military."

Lei Zhan stood straight, his face ashen; this was indeed his dereliction of duty.

Although Wang Gang was the Supervisor specially dispatched by the Ministry of Education, and although he had a perfect disguise and file,

that could not be an excuse.

"Rest assured, Commander."

"No matter who is involved,"

"no matter which family is implicated,"

"as long as it is confirmed that they are associated with the Beast God Cult,"

"they will be executed without mercy."

Hanging up the phone, he turned around, his gaze sweeping over the busy soldiers.

It wasn't just the Tianjiao Camp.

The entire education system of the capital, the Logistics Department, and even the peripheral forces of certain noble families would all face an earthquake tonight.

"Report, chief instructor."

A soldier captain ran over quickly and saluted.

"The identities of the bodies in the banquet hall have all been verified."

"They have been confirmed as members of an elite Beast God Cult squad."

"Additionally,"

"we discovered three hundred tons of unexploded high-energy explosives beneath the cafeteria."

"Bomb disposal experts are currently working on it."

"According to expert assessment,"

"if this amount of explosives were to detonate,"

"the entire camp would cease to exist."

Upon hearing the report, the corners of Lei Zhan's eyes twitched violently.

Lingering fear, endless lingering fear, surged into his heart.

If it hadn't been for Lin Fan, if it hadn't been for that seemingly playboy kid who had detected it early and jammed the signal,

the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Where is Lin Fan?"

Lei Zhan took a deep breath and asked.

"Student Lin Fan is currently at the temporary medical station."

"He says he suffered severe internal injuries."

"He needs to apply for compensation."

The soldier captain's expression became somewhat strange, and the corner of Lei Zhan's mouth twitched.

Internal injuries?

That kid was full of life when he was kicking Wang Gang just a moment ago.

That's no internal injury; he's clearly trying to extort... no, apply for funds again.

"Take me to see him."

Lei Zhan waved his hand.

Inside the tent of the temporary medical station, Lin Fan was lying on a cot.

He was holding a bottle of soda in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

Qin Feng was squatting beside him, massaging his legs.

"Brother Fan."

"Is this pressure okay?"

Qin Feng asked with a fawning expression.

"It's alright."

"It's just that my left calf is a bit sore."

"I used too much force when I kicked that old bastard earlier."

Lin Fan sighed contentedly.

The tent curtain was lifted, and Lei Zhan strode in.

Seeing this scene, the stomach full of gratitude and guilt he had prepared instantly dissipated by more than half.

This kid really has a strong mentality; he just went through such a thrilling life-and-death situation.

And now he's actually able to enjoy a massage here.

"Instructor."

Seeing Lei Zhan walk in, Lin Fan had no intention of getting up; instead, he clutched his chest and coughed twice.

"Cough, cough."

"You're here."

"My body is truly too weak."

"I won't get up to salute you."

Lei Zhan glared at him indignantly and pulled over a chair to sit down.

"Alright."

"Stop pretending."

"I've seen your medical report."

"You're as strong as an ox."

"You didn't even break a patch of skin."

Lin Fan chuckled and sat up from the bed, not feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment at being exposed.

"Isn't this just to fit the atmosphere?"

"After all, I am a victim too."

"My soul has suffered great trauma."

Lei Zhan looked at the young face, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

"Lin Fan."

"This time, it's all thanks to you."

"If it weren't for you,"

"we would all have become sinners against the nation."

Lei Zhan's tone was very solemn; he was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"The military has already acknowledged your contribution."

"The commander personally approved it."

"You are awarded the 'Special Class Combat Hero' medal."

"In addition,"

"in view of the ability and contribution you demonstrated in this incident,"

"the military has decided to give you a special reward."

Hearing the word "reward,"

Lin Fan's eyes instantly lit up.

Brighter than a searchlight.

"What kind of reward?"

"Is it direct cash?"

"Or S-class materials?"

"I'm not picky."

Lei Zhan pulled a red file bag from his chest pocket.

He handed it to Lin Fan.

"Open it and see."

Lin Fan took the file bag.

He quickly tore open the seal; inside was a transfer order and a black magnetic card.

"This is..."

Lin Fan looked at the contents of the transfer order.

He was a bit surprised.

"Military Special Consultant?"

"Enjoying Senior Colonel-level benefits?"

Lei Zhan nodded.

"That's right."

"Although you are still a student at the Tianjiao Camp,"

"your abilities have already exceeded the scope of a student."

"The military has made a special approval."

"You can act as a special consultant, which is essentially a temporary status,"

"to facilitate your direct participation in some special military projects."

"That black card is your proof of identity."

"It is also your resource card."

"It contains fifty thousand military merit points."

"You can redeem any resources you need on the military's internal network."

"Including contraband that cannot be bought on the market."

Fifty thousand military merit points.

Lin Fan did a quick mental conversion. According to the black market rate, one military merit point could be exchanged for at least one thousand yuan.

That's fifty million.

Moreover, the purchasing power of military merit points far exceeds cash; many strategic materials cannot be bought with money.

"Generous."

Lin Fan put away the file bag with satisfaction.

"Thank the commander for me."

"Just tell him that I, Lin Fan, was born a Huaguo citizen,"

"and will die a Huaguo soul."

"In the future, if there are any such... tasks of eliminating evils for the country,"

"feel free to come to me."

Lei Zhan looked at Lin Fan's money-grubbing appearance.

He shook his head helplessly.

But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of appreciation.

Being greedy for money is not terrible; what's terrible is having no talent and no virtue.

Although Lin Fan is greedy, he never wavers when it comes to matters of principle, and that is enough.

"There is one more thing."

Lei Zhan's expression became solemn.

"Wang Gang has escaped."

"Although he was seriously injured,"

"he is, after all, a Grand Deacon of the Beast God Cult."

"He suffered such a huge loss at your hands this time,"

"he will certainly not let it go."

"During this time,"

"you need to be careful."

"Don't worry, sooner or later I will wipe out all these traitors to humanity; so what if he ran away?"

Looking at the cold glint flashing in the youth's eyes,

he suddenly felt that the one who should be worried is not Lin Fan, but Wang Gang, or even the entire Beast God Cult.

"By the way, Instructor."

Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.

"That purge operation."

"It's quite a commotion."

"I heard it was quite lively outside just now."

Lei Zhan nodded, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"It must be purged."

"Whether there are other moles in the camp,"

"no one can guarantee."

"This time, I would rather kill by mistake,"

"than let anyone go."

"All students must undergo political screening and bloodline testing again."

"Once any abnormality is discovered,"

"they will be executed on the spot."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully.

He thought of one person, or rather, a type of person.

Since the Beast God Cult could plant someone of Wang Gang's level into the Ministry of Education,

are there really only those dead soldiers brought by Wang Gang among the students of the Tianjiao Camp?

Perhaps there are others hidden even deeper.

"Instructor."

"When the testing happens,"

"could you let me be present?"

Lin Fan suddenly made a request.

"I want to see,"

"if there are any other 'surprises'."

Lei Zhan looked at him and did not refuse.

"You may."

"You have this authorization."

"Tomorrow morning,"

"all members will gather for testing."

"At that time,"

"you stand by my side."
