167: Chapter 167 Body Bag

Time flew by.

By now, the personnel in the entire square had basically gathered, and all the soldiers stood tall and proud on the grounds.

The soldiers were all in uniform white military attire, looking like a beautiful landscape.

The military region's highest Commander, the Brigade Commander, stood up and scanned the area, then slowly walked in front of everyone.

He shouted powerfully: "I believe everyone who came here today understands the reason for this assembly."

"Qin Mo, step out!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Mo walked calmly and confidently to the front of the Brigade Commander and gave a sharp salute: "Hello, Brigade Commander!"

"Hmm!"

The Brigade Commander nodded slowly.

"You are very good! With your own strength, you saved the lives of the entire New Recruit camp, and furthermore, you directly raided the pirates' Compound and destroyed their Compound."

"For Dragon Country to have a soldier like you is Dragon Country's fortune, and it is everyone's good fortune!"

"Now! Begin the medal awarding ceremony!"

As soon as the Brigade Commander finished speaking, the national anthem sounded, and the red flag in the square slowly rose.

All the soldiers saluted solemnly, their gazes fixed on the red flag.

Meanwhile, Instructor Hu walked over with a tray in large, swift strides.

Inside was a medal symbolizing the First Class Merit; the medal was entirely yellow, and under the sunlight's refraction, it was quite brilliant.

A moment later, the song stopped, and the red flag had risen to the peak, fluttering in the wind.

The Brigade Commander slowly picked up the medal symbolizing the First Class Merit and pinned it onto Qin Mo's chest, then turned to look at everyone present.

"In this sudden operation, Qin Mo killed a total of eighteen pirates and rescued one hundred and twenty-five hostages, half of whom were foreign friends, who have now been sent back to their respective countries."

"The pirate Compound has been completely destroyed. In view of Qin Mo's heroic performance this time, with the Brigade's approval, he is specially awarded the First Class Merit medal!"

"Clap, clap, clap!"

As soon as the Brigade Commander finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted at the scene, and everyone looked at Qin Mo with heartfelt admiration.

A moment later, the applause stopped. The Brigade Commander walked to Qin Mo and patted his shoulder.

"You are very good! I look forward to your future performance!"

Qin Mo stood at attention and replied respectfully: "I will not fail the Brigade Commander's expectations!"

"Very good!"

The Brigade Commander nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Return to your unit!"

Instructor Hu said expressionlessly.

Qin Mo nodded and returned to the ranks.

Next, Instructor Hu said a few more unimportant things and then dismissed everyone.

As soon as they were dismissed, those familiar with Qin Mo rushed over to him excitedly.

"Qin Mo, let me see! A First Class Merit!"

Zheng Xiaohu said, his eyes shining.

Qin Mo shook his head helplessly: "Look at you, have some dignity..."

Saying this, Qin Mo directly took off the medal and tossed it to Zheng Xiaohu.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiaohu scrambled to catch it.

"Big brother! This is a First Class Merit! This isn't trash; how can you toss it around like garbage?"

Zheng Xiaohu said while carefully stroking the medal, his eyes full of envy.

"Let me see!"

Before he could examine it carefully, Shi Hao snatched it away.

Zheng Xiaohu was suddenly furious: "Don't push, damn it! Take turns!"

"By the time you're done, it'll be tomorrow. When will it be my turn?"

"What, not convinced? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

"Oh ho? Want to try?"

"Let's try then!"

Saying that, the two started fighting.

Qin Mo, standing by, was speechless...

Is it really necessary? It's just a medal.

...

After the pirate incident, the New Recruit camp rested for a short day, then threw themselves back into training.

Everyone was tortured to the point of being miserable by Instructor Hu's various training methods...

In the blink of an eye, time flew by. Three months passed quietly, and everyone successfully transformed from a New Recruit into a true soldier.

...

Early in the morning, everyone was woken up by Instructor Hu, then gathered in the square, but he himself was late to appear.

"Squad Leader Qin, what's going on? Why gather us here? Is there some project today?"

A New Recruit asked Qin Mo curiously.

Because of his outstanding performance, Qin Mo had already been promoted to Squad Leader.

"I don't know either."

Qin Mo shrugged; he was curious too. Wasn't there no training scheduled for today?

Shi Hao, standing by, said with disdain: "Whatever training project he brings, I've survived everything before, what else could he possibly do!"

Zheng Xiaohu immediately wore a sarcastic expression: "Yeah! Is it like that time your stinky socks were thrown downstairs onto Tiger Black Face's face, causing our whole team to be dragged out for training at midnight?"

"You damn!"

Shi Hao immediately exploded.

"I've said it so many times, those were my washed socks, left on the balcony to dry, and they just happened to blow onto Tiger Black Face as he passed by. What does that have to do with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, just because of your mistake, our whole team didn't sleep all night!"

"You're just full of it! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up again!"

"Come on! Who's afraid of whom?"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Watching these two clowns about to fight again, Qin Mo immediately spoke up to stop them.

He felt a headache coming on...

Ever since they fought over looking at the medal, these two had been at odds. Every time they found a chance, they would mock each other. As their Squad Leader, Qin Mo found it exceptionally headache-inducing.

Neither of them would submit to anyone else, only to him...

Seeing Qin Mo intervene, the two snorted coldly and ignored each other.

Qin Mo shook his head, speechless...

Before long, Instructor Hu walked in with a dark face, followed by Platoon Leader Ji.

In these three months, she had also been promoted from Captain to Platoon Leader.

Instructor Hu scanned everyone present, then turned to Platoon Leader Ji and whispered: "Take out the items!"

Platoon Leader Ji nodded, said nothing, and walked towards the nearby armory.

At this moment, everyone present was confused, not knowing what kind of tricks they were up to again.

Before long, at Platoon Leader Ji's signal, several soldiers walked over carrying several huge snake-skin bags.

Every snake-skin bag was exceptionally full.

The soldiers opened the bags, took out huge black bags one by one, and handed them to everyone, then took out paper and pens from another snake-skin bag and distributed them.

Qin Mo carefully examined the items in his hands, and a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart...

Sure enough, before Qin Mo could react.

Instructor Hu said in a low voice: "I believe you must be very curious about what the things I've distributed are. Now I will tell you!"

"The black bags are body bags, and the paper and pens are for you to write your last will and testament!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted in an uproar.
