The gentle sea breeze blew across the blue sea, pushing a warship slowly close to a palm-sized island.
If one didn't look down from a high altitude, it would be very difficult to discover this island that was almost parallel to the sea.
However, it was on this small island that the red flag was flying.
The warship docked at a simple dock, and a rear admiral led a group of field officers off the ship.
The entire island was clear at a glance: a simple barracks, a horizontal bar, a parallel bar, a national flag, and soldiers standing upright under the flag.
"He's that soldier?" The major general asked curiously.
A colonel beside him nodded heavily.""Yes, it's him."
"Very good, great!" The major general walked over in admiration. Before the soldier saluted, he took the lead and saluted the soldier.
Shi Lei immediately puffed out his chest." Reporting to Chief A. I am Shi Lei, the squad leader of the 6th Company, 4th Regiment, 7th Division of the Navy!"”
"I have been here for twelve years and have never left! I am the boundary marker of our country!"
Twelve years was a shocking number.
All the officers were moved. Almost at the same time, everyone raised their right hand and saluted Shi Lei solemnly.
It was hard for people living on the mainland to understand Shi Lei's suffering.
If a person's loneliness could be divided into ten levels, then a person guarding an island for twelve years would have to endure eleven levels of loneliness.
The major general walked over and carefully sized up this somewhat handsome soldier who had been tanned to charcoal.
"Comrade Shi Lei, you've worked hard!" "Thank you for guarding the farthest island for our country! The motherland and the people will always remember your sacrifice!”
Shi Lei stood proudly, his expression neither servile nor overbearing!
The major general smiled and patted his shoulder. You can go back in half a month!”
Shi Lei's face immediately revealed a surprised expression.""Chief A!"
"Half a month later, a platoon of soldiers will replace you and be stationed on this island.”
"Moreover, we will artificially reclaim the sea and expand this island by more than ten times.”
The major general patted him." As for you, not only can you go back smoothly, you can also choose your own team. Just based on your 12 years of selfless dedication, you can go anywhere you want!”
The major general took a step back and saluted Shi Lei again.""Comrade Shi Lei, thank you again for your contribution to the motherland and the people. See you in half a month!"
The leaders used two minutes to walk the entire island. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Shi Lei, they boarded the ship and left.
Shi Lei's emotions were extremely complicated as he watched the warship leave.
He was a little happy, but more than that, he felt a sense of loss!
He was not from this world. He had come to this parallel world twelve years ago.
This place was completely different from the Dragon Country on Earth. There were no powerful countries like those in his memory.
Just like the other transmigrators, he had a system.
However, the system gave him a small request and then disappeared. He had to abide by the law and moral requirements, crack down on illegal crimes, and not expose the military!
He originally wanted to come to the navy to show off his skills, but he did not expect to be sent to this island.
In the first two years, Shi Lei tried to leave the island.
Otherwise, with the system, there would be no room for him to use it.
However, this place was more than 1,000 kilometers away from his motherland. If he was unwilling to come, the others naturally would not be willing to come either.
As time passed, Shi Lei stopped struggling.
It was not that he had accepted his fate, but that he had understood some principles.
Being a soldier was to protect the country.
The land under his feet represented his motherland.
After so many years, he had long developed feelings for this small island that no one wanted.
As evening fell, Shi Lei sat alone on the roof, watching the sun slowly set into the sea.
"In another half a month, I won't be able to see you anymore!”Shi Lei looked around with a reluctant expression.
He would never eat canned food again. He would have fresh vegetables and meat to eat.
He would no longer be afraid that the house would be blown away when the storm came.
He no longer had to face the sea alone when he was in a bad mood.
All of this should have been something to be happy about.
However, when he was about to leave, his heart was empty.
Only when the darkness swallowed the last ray of sunlight did Shi Lei heave a heavy sigh.
"It's time to leave! I will be better in the future, and this place will be better too!”
Shi Lei smiled and jumped off the roof.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
There were only five days left before the new troops would arrive.
At daybreak, Shi Lei sailed the boat out to sea. He wanted to patrol the nearby waters for the last time.
Every week, he would patrol along the coastline of his motherland.
This time, it would be his last time patrolling the sea.
In the past, this boundless sea had made him want to escape countless times.
However, they were about to leave, and every drop of seawater here was so intimate.
The patrol could have been completed in three to four hours.
But today, Shi Lei had spent a whole day to slowly make a big circle around the sea.
On the way back, Shi Lei saw a school of fish swimming past and stood up inexplicably.
"It's been twelve years. When I was at my loneliest, it was you who listened to me. I'm leaving, and I might never come back!”
Shi Lei saluted them.”
Shi Lei steered the boat, following the route he had taken countless times towards the island.
The island was getting closer and closer. Shi Lei stood up and looked into the distance. This might be the last time he did this.
Suddenly, Shi Lei frowned.
The island that he had stayed on for twelve years, there was a situation at this moment!
"Enemies!" Shi Lei's eyes instantly surged with intense killing intent!
