94: Training camp, delayed graduation! (Additional update 5/8 for those who are idle listening to books)
During this period, the 136 Squad members were not idle, besides handling daily affairs.
Wu Xiangnan specifically led people to search the streets and alleys of Cangnan City.
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan had already prepared dinner at the office.
Soon, Wu Xiangnan, bringing Wen Qimo and Hong Ying, pushed open the door and returned.
"How was it? Any clues today?" Si Xiaonan asked.
Wu Xiangnan shook her head.
Leng Xuan then said, "We've been searching for two months. Could it be that the person who sent the message has already left Cangnan City?"
Although Wen Qimo and Hong Ying didn't speak, their thoughts were similar to Leng Xuan's.
Ever since the Ancient God Church's conspiracy was resolved, everyone had focused their attention on the Mysterious bat that delivered the message that day.
That bat had already been dissected by Si Xiaonan.
Surprisingly, some tissues inside that bat were highly similar to the Nanda Snake Demon's.
This caught everyone's attention. Could it be that the Nanda Snake Demon didn't die completely and changed its species in the process?
However, what everyone cared about more was the note.
The handwriting on the note was crooked, clearly having been tampered with by the informer.
Throughout the entire incident, the other party left no useful clues, showing that the informer was very cautious.
"I'm wondering, who exactly is this informer? It's clear that he knows Lin Qi Ye very well, and he knows us very well too," Wu Xiangnan pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything useful.
"Yes, and not only that, he also possesses an unknown Forbidden Territory, and he holds goodwill towards us, or rather, towards Lin Qi Ye," Wen Qimo analyzed.
Hong Ying furrowed her pretty brows, thought for a long time without coming up with anything, and finally said,
"Oh, forget it, I'm hungry, let's eat first."
Suddenly, Hong Ying noticed that Chen Muye wasn't there and asked, "Where's the Captain? Why isn't he here?"
Si Xiaonan shook her head, "He went out. Recently, the Captain has been distracted, and when I ask him, he says he's fine."
Wu Xiangnan heard this and said, "Don't worry, the Captain is a steady person. He knows what's important better than any of us."
At this moment, Chen Muye was strolling along the Cangnan River.
He looked at the text message on his phone, lost in thought.
"The Training Camp isn't over yet, I will fulfill my promise." The sender was Song Zhong.
As for the matter of rescuing the snake girl, Song Zhong didn't explain a single word.
Chen Muye sighed, looking towards the river, "He's still in Cangnan. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the end of the Training Camp was drawing near.
After this period of training, the young Night Watchers made rapid progress.
And after completing the simulated Mysterious attack drill, these newcomers gained a clearer understanding of the enemies they would face in the future.
Lin Qi Ye performed exceptionally well in this simulated drill, leading the recruits to successfully resolve the Mysterious invasion.
His Mental Hospital of Gods also welcomed two new orderlies: Soul-Weaving Spider and Chaos Cube!
Yuan Gang and Instructor Hong, sitting in the office, were in a good mood.
"Old Hong, this year's batch of Training Camp has given me too many surprises!"
"Haha, indeed, the unprecedented Double God Agent, Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu, and Molly, these people are all excellent," Hong Hao said.
"Haha, of course, but what surprised me the most was actually that little fatty from the Baili Family. I originally thought he wouldn't last half a month," Yuan Gang took a sip of tea, "Looking at them, I seem to recall my own memories of participating in the Training Camp back then."
"Haha, Chief, I heard that the Phoenix Team has already started to set their sights on Lin Qi Ye."
"Oh? I'm afraid Xia Simeng's wishful thinking will fall through. The higher-ups have other arrangements for Lin Qi Ye."
Hong Hao suddenly thought of something, "Chief, do you mean that Lin Qi Ye might become the fifth..."
Yuan Gang smiled and waved his hand, "Old Hong, tomorrow morning, announce the final results!"
...
The next morning, all the recruits gathered on the training ground. Everyone was very concerned about the final assessment results.
As expected, the top three were, predictably, Lin Qi Ye, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu.
"So powerful! According to custom, they will definitely be assigned to the top Night Watcher teams."
"However, Lin Qi Ye, who ranked first, seems to have a two-way choice!"
"Then he'll definitely choose Shangjing City!"
"I don't think so. There have been examples of the top-ranked Training Camp participant choosing a city closer to the edge of the mist before."
"Hey, why are you guys worrying about this? How can we understand the thoughts of a Genius? Just worry about your own rankings."
The recruits chattered, and although the discussion was lively, a sense of parting sorrow lingered in everyone's hearts.
Perhaps after the Training Camp ended, some of them would never see each other again in this lifetime.
Bai Li Pang Pang leaned towards Lin Qi Ye, "Lin Qi Ye, Lin Qi Ye, you should choose the 010 Team then, and come back to Guangzhou-Shenzhen with me. I'm the one who calls the shots there."
Lin Qi Ye shook his head, "If I can choose, I will stay in Cangnan."
"Ah?" Bai Li Pang Pang was puzzled, "Cangnan is too small a stage. You should go to a bigger place."
"But my family is here, Pang Pang. If I get the chance in the future, I will definitely go to Guangzhou-Shenzhen to find you," Lin Qi Ye said with a smile.
"Alright!" Bai Li Pang Pang was a little sad, "It's okay, I can also come to Cangnan to see you. I'll tell you a secret, our transfer orders should arrive tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the Training Camp's graduation ceremony."
"Time flies so fast, it's ending so soon!"
The sky was overcast, it was going to rain.
Crack!
A thunderclap echoed through the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
The recruits immediately returned to the dormitory.
Rumble!
Outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Under the strong wind and heavy rain, it seemed like something was brewing.
Suddenly, Lin Qi Ye felt the dormitory light flicker, and then the water glass on the table began to shake...
Just as the Training Camp was about to graduate, an earthquake actually occurred in the nearby Jin'nan Mountain.
Yuan Gang's expression was grave; he had just received a phone call from his superior.
A sudden earthquake in Cangnan City, coupled with continuous heavy rain, could easily trigger geological disasters.
And nearby, the only force that could quickly mobilize rescue efforts was their Training Camp.
Beep beep beep!
A sharp whistle sounded, and all the recruits, despite the heavy rain, gathered completely.
Yuan Gang looked at their determined faces and said loudly,
"An earthquake has occurred in Jin'nan Mountain. The situation in the six nearby villages is critical, and we are the closest rescue force. You are still soldiers of Great Xia."
"Next, I announce that the Training Camp's graduation will be delayed."
"We must race against Death!"
