139: Chapter 139 Only the Corpse
The bigwig at the headquarters on the other end of the communicator had clearly also heard the commotion on Lin Fan's side.
They fell into an eerie silence.
After several seconds.
That majestic voice sounded again, carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"Lei Zhan."
"Is Student Lin Fan next to you?"
Lei Zhan swallowed with difficulty.
"Reporting to the Chief, yes."
"Ahem."
A light cough came from the other end of the phone.
"Give the phone to him first."
Lei Zhan handed the communicator to Lin Fan, looking at him as if he were an alien.
Lin Fan took the communicator, cleared his throat, and said in a very sincere tone.
"Hello, Chief."
"I am Lin Fan."
"I am very happy to serve the country."
"Regarding the compensation for this operation, I think we need to have a serious talk."
"You see, for this operation, I can say I've poured my heart and soul into it, and faced life and death."
"Not only did I use up several of my precious blind box items, but there's also mental distress compensation, lost wages, overtime pay..."
The Chief on the other end of the phone fell silent again.
He had spent his life in the military and had seen countless heroes and talented individuals.
Some wanted official positions.
Some wanted medals.
Some wanted honors.
But to open one's mouth and ask for money, and to calculate the bill so clearly...
Lin Fan was definitely the first.
"Student Lin Fan."
The Chief's voice carried a hint of bemusement.
"The country will not treat any meritorious official unfairly."
"Rest assured, your contribution this time is enough to be recorded as a first-class merit."
"Various rewards and resources will definitely satisfy you."
"As for money..."
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
The Chief was also a straightforward person.
He knew that for a genius like Lin Fan who didn't play by the rules.
One had to communicate in the most direct way.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
But he didn't immediately name a price.
Instead, he changed the subject.
"Chief, actually, I'm not interested in money."
"I also have no pursuit for military merit or medals."
Lin Fan looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
"I did all of this for our China."
"For the future of our human race."
"Talking about money is so vulgar."
Lei Zhan listened from the side, the corners of his mouth twitching.
That wasn't what you said with your mercenary look just a moment ago.
The Chief on the other end of the phone was also taken aback for a moment.
"Then what do you want?"
This was the sentence Lin Fan had been waiting for.
He took a deep breath and said in an extremely solemn tone.
"I don't want anything."
"I only want the right to dispose of all the Sakura Country spies killed in this operation and the corpse of that Yamata no Orochi clone."
"I hope the military can hand over all these corpses to me for processing."
Once this request was made.
The other end of the phone fell into a long silence again.
Although these spies and strange beast corpses also had some value to the military's research institutions.
Compared to the merit Lin Fan had established.
It was simply a drop in the bucket.
The Chief clearly also knew Lin Fan's intention.
Lin Fan would definitely use these corpses to make his magical blind box.
"In principle, I can agree."
The Chief's voice became serious.
"However, Student Lin Fan, these corpses involve foreign spies and important intelligence."
"But I hope you understand that the processing of these things has a strict procedure."
Lin Fan smiled.
He knew what the other party was worried about.
"Chief, you should know something about my talent."
"I call it equivalent exchange."
"I can sacrifice this flesh and blood containing special energy in exchange for some... unexpected gifts."
"To me, these corpses are the best 'sacrifices'."
"Using them, I can exchange for more trump cards and stronger strength for our soldiers."
This explanation was half-true and half-false, and the Chief on the other end of the phone pondered for a long time.
Finally.
He made a decision.
"Okay."
"I agree to you."
"The right to dispose of all spoils of war belongs to you."
"I will send someone to connect with you later."
"Student Lin Fan, the country thanks you for your contribution."
"And I look forward to you bringing us more surprises."
"Thank you, Chief!"
Lin Fan beamed with joy.
Goal achieved.
After hanging up the phone.
Lin Fan was in a great mood.
With this batch of high-quality raw materials.
He could make at least hundreds of B-grade or higher blind boxes.
Even, using the corpse of that big snake, he might be able to smelt an S-grade supreme blind box.
By then, whether he sold it to the country or opened it himself.
It would be an immeasurable wealth.
Not long after.
A huge roar came from the horizon.
A fleet of over a dozen large transport planes passed through the clouds and slowly landed on Ghost Island.
The cabin doors opened.
Teams of medical soldiers and logistics personnel rushed down.
They started treating the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield.
Lei Zhan commanded the Special Forces Team members to gather all the surviving students together.
Preparing to evacuate in batches.
Students from other teams, led by their respective instructors, walked over one after another.
When they saw Lin Fan's team.
Everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
A look of awe appeared on their faces.
Although Lin Fan's four teammates looked disheveled.
But the faint smell of blood and aura of slaughter on them.
Could not be covered up at all.
And Lin Fan himself.
Was covered in blood, and there was even undried dark red blood on his battle saber.
Although most of it was snake blood.
But in the eyes of others.
This was simply an Asura who had killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Although they had also encountered attacks.
But under the timely rescue of the military Special Forces Team members, they basically didn't experience any decent battles, forming a sharp contrast with the tragedy on Lin Fan's side.
Everyone's gaze towards Lin Fan changed.
On the plane.
The students were concentrated in a huge cabin, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, and everyone was still fearful.
Lei Zhan walked to the front of the cabin.
Picked up the broadcast.
His gaze swept over all the students present, and he said in a deep voice.
"Students."
"I know you have many questions now."
"Now, I will inform you of the full truth of this trial."
"This so-called graduation trial was a scam from the beginning."
"Its true purpose was to cooperate with the military to conduct a fishing operation against Sakura Country spies lurking."
"You are all bait."
As the voice fell, the whole cabin was in an uproar.
Some had expressions of lingering fear on their faces, some had flames of anger burning in their eyes, but more people were rejoicing at surviving the disaster.
Lei Zhan ignored their reactions.
Continued to say.
"Every one of you participated in this war."
"You used your courage and lives to root out one tumor after another for the country."
"Therefore, I represent Tianjiao Camp and announce."
"All surviving students, this graduation assessment, all full marks!"
There was another commotion in the cabin.
But this time, it was cheers of excitement and joy.
Amidst these sounds.
Lin Fan sat alone in the corner, leaning against the porthole, closing his eyes to rest.
He turned a deaf ear to everything outside.
In fact, his consciousness had long since sunk into the system space.
He was excitedly checking his huge harvest this time.
