Thomas was furious when he saw that all his brothers had been killed and he was the only one left. However, the most important thing now was to escape. He immediately fired a few shots in Zhao Chen's direction. Zhao Chen immediately threw Bai Lu and Shen Ge to the ground, but he was still shot in the back.
Thomas wanted to fire another shot, but he found that the supporting navy had already come ashore. He immediately took out a grenade and was about to throw it at the few people who came ashore. At this moment, there was a whoosh. A dagger slashed through the air and pierced Thomas 'wrist. The grenade was released, but it did not explode because it did not have time to pull the ring. Thomas did not stay any longer and directly plunged into the sea.
The person who threw the dagger was Zhao Chen. However, Zhao Chen had been shot in the back. The dagger had just been thrown, and he had fainted. His back was already covered in blood.
"Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen, don't die.”Bai Lu and Shen Ge were already crying their eyes out. Zhao Chen had been shot while trying to save the two of them. Otherwise, with Zhao Chen's skills, he would not have been injured.
"Hurry up and save him." Liu Xiaoshan and the others rushed over without caring about Thomas.
The few of them carried Zhao Chen onto the speedboat and quickly returned to the direction of the sea training ground. The soldiers of the Marine Corps arrived soon after to clean up Pipa Island.
Zhao Chen did not know how long he had been unconscious. He woke up in a daze and found himself lying on the hospital bed. Bai Lu was sleeping on the bed.
His body was still wrapped in bandages, but he felt that his back did not seem to be injured. He subconsciously touched it and found that it did not hurt at all.
"Zhao Chen, you're awake. That's great. How are you feeling now?”Bai Lu woke up when she felt movement. Her eyes were still red, and it was obvious that she had just cried. When she saw Zhao Chen wake up, she was delighted. At that time, Zhao Chen had been shot in the back and had lost a lot of blood, causing her to cry for a long time.
When she was sent to the operating room, the doctor found that the bullet was stuck in Zhao Chen's muscles and did not hurt his internal organs. She heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, the bullet had already injured his internal organs. However, Zhao Chen's Innate Dao Body's self-healing ability was extremely strong. When he was sent to the hospital, the internal injuries had mostly healed. However, it had consumed too much of his body's energy, so Zhao Chen had been in a weak and unconscious state.
"Are you crying?" Zhao Chen said.
"It's all because of you. If you die, then I…I... Don't do this next time. Don't make me worry again, understand?”Bai Lu looked at Zhao Chen with a bitter expression.
After spending time with Bai Lu, Zhao Chen naturally understood her feelings. In fact, he liked Bai Lu quite a bit. She had a good personality and was beautiful. However, he did not have the intention to find a partner at this moment because he did not know if he could give her happiness.
" Gulp!" Zhao Chen's stomach growled.
Bai Lu laughed and took a thermal container from the table beside her.""You must be hungry. This is the chicken soup I made.”
After opening the thermos box, an alluring fragrance filled the air. Bai Lu scooped a bowl and handed it to Zhao Chen, ready to feed him. Zhao Chen hurriedly said,"Well, let me do it."
"No, you're still injured.”Bai Lu refused.
"Then... Alright then." Although he was not used to it, Zhao Chen did not reject it.
What Zhao Chen didn't know was that the incident of him killing the pirates on Pipa Island had already caused a sensation in the army. The reporters from the military region wanted to come over for an interview, but this matter was directly suppressed by the higher-ups. Even so, the news had already spread among the soldiers.
"Ding! Quest completion rate is 90%. Kill 17 pirates and rescue 23 hostages. Reward: 2G of traffic.”
At this moment, the system notification sounded. When he heard that he had earned 2GB of data from this mission, Zhao Chen was extremely happy. Unfortunately, there was nothing to download now. If only he had a firewall, he could download it.
Zhao Chen's injuries had already recovered, but because he had recovered too quickly, the hospital did not allow Zhao Chen to leave. He had to stay for a few days for observation, which made him very depressed.
"Um, we didn't disturb you, did we?”At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.
Zhao Chen and Bai Lu looked outside the door and saw a few people peeking in. The one who spoke was none other than Jiang Xiaoyu, Zheng Deng Jiuguang, and Shen Ge. However, when they saw Bai Lu in the ward, they felt a sense of defeat for some reason.
"Come in." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong? Are you alright?”Lu Yan asked.
"Do you think Brother Chen is fine?”Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"You did well this time. You finally made Old Deng and I proud.”Liu Xiaoshan patted Zhao Chen's shoulder.
"The main thing is that the two instructors taught me well.”Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Did you see that? Jiang Xiaoyu, I'll be relieved if you have half of Zhao Chen's ability. If you dare to slack off during training in the future, I'll teach you a lesson.”Liu Xiaoshan said to Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Don't worry, Master. I definitely won't slack off in the future.”Jiang Xiaoyu said. After this experience, he realized that the war was so close to him. He also realized the responsibility of being a naval soldier. He had been idling away in the past, and now he did not want to continue like this.
"So lively." At this moment, Brigade Commander Xiao and Commissar Chen also walked in.
The few of them hurriedly saluted, but Brigadier Xiao waved his hand and said,"Everyone, please take a seat."
"You did well this time. The headquarters has just issued a document. Commissar Chen and I came to give you this.”Brigadier Xiao said as he handed a small box to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen opened it and was shocked. It was a first-class medal.
Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Jiuguang, and the others were also impressed when they saw the first-class medal. They were envious of Zhao Chen. However, Zhao Chen had killed seventeen pirates, saved a whole ship of hostages, and helped his comrades block bullets. He indeed met the requirements for first-class merit.
"Chief, this…" Zhao Chen thought it was a second-class merit badge, but he did not expect it to be a first-class merit. He knew the value of a first-class merit.
"This was personally approved by the headquarters, and you deserve it. After a while, your military rank should be changed.”Brigadier Xiao said with a smile. Zhao Chen was only nineteen years old, and now that he was valued by the headquarters, his future was limitless.
"Thank you, Chief." Zhao Chen said.
His comrades were also happy for Zhao Chen.
In the next few days, Long Baichuan, Wu Gang, and his comrades from the Beast Battalion also came to visit Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen wanted to go back early, but the hospital wouldn't let him leave. He could only stay for two more days. After a thorough checkup, he returned to the sea training ground.
Dark Cloud's training in the sea training ground had ended. He went straight to the beast camp and became the first female soldier in the beast camp. Jiang Xiaoyu, Lu Yan, and Zhang Chong were still training in the sea training ground.
The difference was that Jiang Xiaoyu was completely different from before. Her training attitude had changed 180 degrees. Although her foundation was much worse than Lu Yan and Zhang Chong's, she persisted in high-intensity training and improved very quickly.
When everyone saw Zhao Chen return, they immediately stopped training and surrounded him.
"Why didn't you rest for a few more days? Are your injuries okay?”Liu Xiaoshan said.
"I'm fine now. I've recovered a long time ago. I feel uncomfortable if I don't practice for a day.”Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"You brat." Deng Jiuguang smiled and said," That's all for today's training. Let's go. I'll welcome you tonight. You're now a first-class meritorious service. We have to celebrate. Shanzi and I have been in the army for more than ten years, but we only got a second-class meritorious service once. I really envy you, kid."”
That night, everyone drank a lot. When they woke up the next morning, the battle alarm of the sea training ground suddenly sounded. Everyone hurriedly got up, picked up their weapons and equipment, and walked out.
At this time, military vehicles, warships, and troops all rushed towards the direction of the sea training ground.
The soldiers of the beast battalion had also arrived. Only then did they understand that the drill was about to begin. Not far away, Long Baichuan waved at Zhao Chen and the others, and they quickly ran in Long Baichuan's direction.
"Hello, Chief." They saluted Long Baichuan.
Long Baichuan returned the salute and said,""The four of you, get ready."
"What? We can also participate?"
