844: Orders were received to kill Xiao Niannian.

Another two hours passed, and the scores of all Team Members who participated in the quiz were released.

Military Doctor Shen and Political Instructor Qin both answered ninety-eight questions correctly. Additionally, Meng Ning, Lin Shi, Shen Yan, He Rui, and more than ten others answered ninety-five questions correctly, while some others answered more than ninety questions correctly.

"First place: one extra-large exquisite Lantern Festival lantern, a reward of one hundred yuan, one fountain pen, one notebook..."

"Second place: one medium-sized exquisite Lantern Festival lantern, a reward of fifty yuan, one fountain pen, one notebook..."

"Third place: one small exquisite Lantern Festival lantern, a reward of twenty yuan, one fountain pen, one notebook..."

The others received lucky prizes, some of which were lanterns, some notebooks, some enamel mugs, and some other gifts.

These were all New Year's goods sent by Uncle Wang.

"For other activities, everyone can continue to participate. There's 'Throwing Pots,' archery, and other events..."

Xiao Niannian couldn't participate in the quiz, but she could participate in archery and 'Throwing Pots'.

"Captain Xiao, do you want to participate in 'Throwing Pots' or archery?"

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian smiled.

"Archery, of course."

Hearing Captain Xiao say she wanted to participate in archery, many Team Members also wanted to join and see Captain Xiao's archery skills.

"Archery is a twenty-meter distance. We're at twenty meters now; next time it'll be fifty meters..."

Lu Jing walked towards Xiao Niannian.

"Captain Lu, which event are you planning to participate in?"

Lu Jing held a large bag of prizes in his hand. He handed the prizes to Xiao Cui and said,

"Archery."

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, a bold Team Member among the onlookers immediately asked,

"Captain Lu, who do you think will win?"

Hearing this, Lu Jing smiled.

Xiao Niannian also smiled when she heard this.

"Come on, come on! For archery, if you hit the bullseye with three consecutive arrows, you get a prize. If all ten arrows hit the bullseye, the prize is even bigger..."

The instructors and officers at the archery event shouted.

The other Team Members who were shooting arrows had already finished.

Some hit the bullseye with three arrows, while others hit it with two.

Xiao Niannian stepped forward, picked up the bow and arrow, and quickly shot.

An arrow flew out and hit the bullseye.

"Good!"

The onlookers cheered loudly.

Lu Jing took his shot, and an arrow hit the bullseye.

"Good!"

The Team Members also cheered loudly!

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, a smile playing on her lips, and shot her arrow.

"Zheng."

Seeing the arrow hit the bullseye, the Team Members cheered again.

Xiao Niannian took down the third arrow and shot again.

"Captain Xiao is amazing."

"So amazing."

Lu Jing followed, and two arrows hit the bullseye.

"Wow! Captain Lu is amazing."

"Both Captain Lu and Captain Xiao are amazing."

"Is it a tie now?"

"Captain Lu, why don't we shoot seven more arrows? Maybe we can decide the winner."

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian took the arrows, shooting them one after another.

"Another hit."

"Captain Xiao is truly amazing."

"Look, Captain Lu hit it too, so fast."

After ten arrows, all their arrows hit the bullseye; not a single one missed.

"Oh my god, I witnessed a spectacular match today."

"This competition was truly wonderful."

The Team Members ran to the target, observing carefully, and realized how skilled both of them were.

"These arrows truly pierced deep into the wood."

"So impressive! I'm truly amazed!"

"Should we also learn archery in the future?"

"I heard we also need to learn crossbows, so we can use cold weapons in the mountains..."

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li arrived just as the competition began.

Now, seeing the results of the competition, Captain Chen applauded happily.

"Not bad. This archery skill, back in our day, was also like this..." Captain Chen raised his hand.

"I'll give it a try too." Captain Chen picked up a bow and arrow.

Political Commissar Li also picked up a bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrows flew towards the bullseye.

Both arrows hit the bullseye.

"Good!"

The Team Members all cheered loudly.

Captain Chen put down the arrow and said with a smile,

"This is a good activity. This type of training should be added to our monthly routine training..."

Captain Chen looked at the other Team Members.

Political Commissar Li also smiled.

"When we were fighting wars, let alone bows and arrows, many of our weapons were homemade. Later, we seized some from the enemy, and then conditions improved, and we got new equipment..."

Political Commissar Li's gaze turned to the Team Members again.

"You have such good conditions now, you must cherish them..."

"Yes."

After Political Commissar Li finished speaking, the Team Members shouted loudly.

"The first place in the archery competition goes to Captain Lu and Captain Xiao, tied for first, with one prize each..."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing did not participate in some of the other competitions.

Soon, the lively day came to an end.

As long as they participated, they received a participation award. All Team Members could participate in four activities, and each Team Member received at least four awards.

After singing a military song at the entrance of the cafeteria, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing led the Team Members into the cafeteria.

"Time to eat."

Today's cafeteria food was also delicious.

Each table had a large bowl of tangyuan and dumplings. At this time, these were all handmade, and the taste was exceptionally good.

Xiao Niannian scooped out some tangyuan and also tasted the dumplings.

The cafeteria had an extra dish today: maocai, with many kinds of vegetables, pork, beef, and mushrooms... "So fragrant."

Everyone quickly ate their meal.

In a village in Yangcheng.

"What? The higher-ups demand that we find a way to kill Xiao Niannian of the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade?"

"How could the higher-ups issue such an order?"

"She's in the Special Forces Brigade; how can we kill her?"

"Before even entering the Special Forces Brigade, we'd be shot full of holes, wouldn't we?"

This person called his subordinates to discuss.

"Boss, what did the higher-ups say?"

"The higher-ups said to find a way to kill a female military officer from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade..."

The subordinates were stunned when they heard their boss's words.

"What? The higher-ups actually told us to kill a female military officer from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade?"

"How are we supposed to kill her?"

"Are they telling us to go into the Special Forces Brigade to kill her?"

"This is a bit too much to expect of us."

"Exactly, if we go to the Special Forces Brigade, we'll be shot full of holes before we even enter the gate..."

Hearing his subordinates say this, the boss frowned and said displeased,

"Naturally, they want us to find a way. People from other places will also cooperate with us..."

"Do you have a photo of that female military officer?"

"Not yet! But they said they'll bring us a portrait in a few days..."

"A portrait? That would work! Otherwise, we wouldn't know who to kill."

At the same time, people in several other places also received notifications from their superiors, some with the same order.
