Chapter 170 Rewards Arrived!

"Squad leader, where are you going?"

Xu Ge took the weapons and equipment from Guo Yuanshuai and asked curiously, "When are you leaving?"

"We'll leave tonight and go to the surrounding villages and towns to conduct undercover reconnaissance."

Guo Yuanshuai gestured for the two men to follow him to the riverbank. "Tonight, our company will be fighting against the 75th Army. It's a good opportunity. The Tiger Brigade won't notice this side."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
Li Dongshui: ? ? ?

"Squad leader, what do you mean?" Li Dongshui asked in surprise. "Are you saying that there are already people from the Fierce Tiger Brigade watching this area?"

Guo Yuanshuai nodded: "What do you think? They must have sent people from the very first day we arrived!"

Xu Ge: "Then how come we didn't notice?"

“They are local troops, so they certainly won’t be like the 75th Army. There might even be members of the Tiger Brigade among those tricycle vendors selling things.”

Guo Yuanshuai led the two to the bridgehead. "The confrontation is over. We won. You two wait here for the main force. I'll go back and change my clothes and then we'll set off."

Xu Ge quickly said, "Squad leader, you'll definitely need money going out like this. I still have several thousand yuan in cash in my combat kit!"

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you." Guo Yuanshuai waved and left.

The two waited at the bridgehead.

Li Dongshui had been running on the mountain for so long that he was exhausted. He plopped down on the grass and started patting his legs.

Xu Ge leaned against the railing and summoned his token.

I noticed a new notification while I was in the woods, so I guess the reward has been credited to my account.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the E-level military order challenge. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Please select your settlement method: 1-10 Universal Skill Points, 2-200 Universal Proficiency Points]

Xu Ge hesitated for a moment as he looked at the token, unsure which settlement method to choose.

"Tactics: LV4 (1123/9999)"

"Bite: Superior (22/500)"

"Sniffing: Advanced (48/50)"

Mental Arithmetic: Advanced (3/50)

"Crafts: Beginner (1/5)"

Based on the data behind these skills, if you choose to settle 10 points of general skill value, you can upgrade at least two skills.

If you choose to accumulate 200 general proficiency points, you can choose one of the three skills—queueing, housekeeping, and reconnaissance—to upgrade to the next level.

After much deliberation, Xu Ge ultimately decided to settle 10 points of general skill value.

After all, the sniffing skill is only two skill points away from being promoted to the top level.

The sniffing skill played a crucial role in the successful ambush and capture of the infiltration company commander tonight, and Xu Ge also realized that this skill could indeed play a significant role in actual combat.

On the other hand, regarding the skills of formation, housekeeping, and reconnaissance, there's no need to worry about the first two. As long as you don't leave the unit, you'll reach LV5 sooner or later.

As for reconnaissance, as an important subject in the upcoming training, there will be no shortage of opportunities to gain proficiency.

After making his choice, Xu Ge received 10 points of general skill value and immediately added five points each to his sniffing and manual skills.

"Sniffing: Superior (3/500)"

"Craftsmanship: Intermediate (1/10)"

In an instant, his mind was filled with many memories about gun modification, and Xu Ge clearly felt that his sense of smell, hearing, and night vision had been greatly improved.

Although it only added 5 points, it represented a leap to a new level, and the difference from before was quite noticeable.

Wow!
It was at this moment that Xu Ge heard the sound of splashing water.

. . .

. . .

Looking in the direction of the sound, several people were swimming happily in the river a few hundred meters away, and there were several figures carrying clothes on the bank.

"Tsk tsk, people are still swimming in the river on such a cold day!" Xu Ge exclaimed in surprise.

It's mid-February now, but the temperature in the early morning is no different from that in winter.

"Huh? Someone's swimming? Where?" Li Dongshui stood up curiously, following Xu Ge's gaze. "How come I didn't see them?"

Xu Ge: "Several people are swimming this way."

Before long, Li Dongshui also spotted the figures in the water and on the shore, and couldn't help but turn on his powerful flashlight to shine it over.

Several white figures immediately appeared in the river, including one bald man whose head reflected light very clearly.

"Who is it?! Turn off your flashlight!" someone yelled from the river.

Li Dongshui was taken aback: "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

"Holy crap! It's Deputy Chief of Staff Gao!" Xu Ge recognized the voice and quickly said, "Quickly turn off the flashlight!"

"Huh? Let's run, Xu Ge!"

"Yes! Run! We're going to get hanged!"

The two immediately prepared to run up the mountain.

"Which company are those two soldiers on the bridge from?"

Another voice immediately stopped Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, who were trying to leave, "You wait there, you bastard! What the hell are you doing running around at night instead of sleeping?"

Xu Ge: ...

Li Dongshui: ...

Before long, the sound of rushing water gradually approached.

On the shore, the figures carrying clothes also came over; they were all sergeants.

"Oh no, oh no, there's someone in there I recognize, he's our regimental commander's communications officer!" Li Dongshui whispered.

Xu Ge immediately looked over and saw that the sergeants were carrying officers' uniforms, with ranks of either lieutenant colonel or colonel!
"Damn! What are these big shots doing swimming in the wild in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Xu Ge was speechless.

Click, click, click!
Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of a camera shutter, bursts of bright light appeared on the shore.

The officers who had just swum to the bridgehead immediately started cursing. "Damn it, you little brat Li, you wait till I get up here!"

"Stop fucking filming, I'm not wearing underwear!"

"Where are your clothes? Bring them here right now!"

Several messengers rushed over with the clothes in their hands.

The first one to come up was Liu Li, the brigade chief of staff. Wearing only a vest and underwear, he jumped around on the grass a few times to shake off the water before starting to put on his clothes. As he dressed, he waved to Xu Ge and Li Dongshui: "You two soldiers, come here!"

"You two are out doing this in the middle of the night instead of sleeping... Wait, you're carrying guns? Are you from the 6th Company?"

"Did the Sixth Company come down so quickly?"

Regimental Commander Fu Qiang, also wearing a vest and underwear, walked over while drying his hair with his clothes. "What's going on with you two?"

clap clap!

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui quickly stood at attention: "Greetings, Chief of Staff! Greetings, Regimental Commander! Greetings, Commanders!"

"Hey? Aren't these Xu Ge and Li Dongshui?"

Gao Wen recognized them immediately. "Why did you two come down first?"

"What? These are the two recruits who captured the infiltration company commander alive?"

Wow!
The officers immediately gathered around.

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were startled. It wasn't that they hadn't seen leaders before, but they had never seen so many leaders under such circumstances.

Swish!
Suddenly, a large number of footsteps came from the woods a few dozen meters away.

The next moment, a group of soldiers from the Sixth Company carrying guns emerged from the woods.

"Who are those people up there? What are they all doing gathered there?" Liu Guoping shouted at the top of his lungs.

Li Dongshui subconsciously replied, "Company Commander, it's me and Xu Ge!"

Li Dongshui was probably so nervous being surrounded by these big shots that he didn't even realize his voice was trembling.

To the men of the Sixth Company, this response took on a completely different meaning.

At this point, the two sides were about 20 or 30 meters apart, and it was too dark for anyone to see clearly. Then someone in the group shouted, "Holy crap, Li Dongshui and Xu Ge are being bullied!"

They're surrounded!

"Damn it, could it be one of the stragglers who slipped through the net?"

"Forget it, charge in and get them!"

Liu Guoping waved his hand, and a group of soldiers from the Sixth Company, who had just won a battle, immediately rushed over with shouts of excitement!

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Holy crap! There's a mistake! These are our regimental commander and chief of staff!"

Amidst the noise, no one could hear what Xu Ge was saying. Before the first person to rush over, Kaiyu, even arrived, delivered a flying kick.

thump!
The second regimental commander, who had just gotten ashore and was still unaware of what was happening, was kicked back into the river.

"The little rascal is quite clever; he even took off his uniform so we wouldn't recognize him..."

Liu Guoping arrived second and swung a punch at the shirtless guy in front of Xu Ge.

Fu Qiang raised his hand and threw Liu Guoping to the ground with an arm-grabbing throw: "Damn it, are you blind, Liu Guoping? You dare to hit me!"

"Stop! Stop!"

Several messengers quickly stood in front of the respective officials.

"Don't shoot! This is the Third Regiment Commander!"

"I'm Liu Li, the brigade chief of staff! Holy crap!"

"Stop it all!"

Liu Guoping shouted loudly, and everyone stopped what they were doing after hearing the company commander's words.

Fu Qiang snatched the flashlight from his hand and shone it into the river: "Where's Lao Er? I just saw him get kicked in!"

"I'm right here!"

The second regimental commander, clutching a bridge pier, shouted, "Damn it, which bastard kicked me just now?!"

Kaiyoumu quietly hid behind the crowd, and everyone tacitly blocked him without making a sound.

A dozen minutes later, the group of officers left, grumbling and cursing.

Before leaving, Fu Qiang gave a gag order: anyone who dared to spread the word about what happened tonight would be killed.

The soldiers suppressed their laughter and agreed.

Back at the camp gate, Liu Guoping gathered everyone together to briefly summarize the evening's confrontation, naturally praising Xu Ge and Li Dongshui highly.

If the elite team led by the platoon leader hadn't been eliminated, the sixth consecutive victory wouldn't have been so easy.

The recruits were very excited as they participated in their first combat exercise and won.

The veterans, on the other hand, were much calmer, and some even started yawning.

Xu Ge observed for a moment and found that about seven or eight people were missing from the company, presumably they had all left quietly beforehand, just like the squad leader.

. . .

. . .

After returning all the weapons and equipment, it was almost 3 a.m.

Only five people remained in the tent of Class 9. Guo Yuanshuai and the other two had their old military uniforms on their beds.

Xu Ge lay down on the bed and turned on his phone. Besides Guo Yuanshuai's transfer records, there were several cursing messages sent by Ao Xiang.

Kaiyoumu and two other veterans were chatting while smoking.

"Did the squad leader and the others go to scout out the Tiger Brigade's situation?"

"Not only that, we also need to figure out the surrounding area within a radius of several dozen kilometers."

"If we get spotted by their people now, we should be fine, right?"

"It's nothing serious, but it'll definitely alert them, so the ones who went this time are all veterans."

Xu Ge couldn't sleep, so he joined the conversation: "Then why did the squad leader say he was going away for a month and wouldn't be back?"

Wang Lin: "We definitely need to figure out the whole situation and draw a map. Our area is definitely being monitored by the Fierce Tiger Brigade. If we keep coming back and forth every day, they'll be alert even if we're in civilian clothes!"

"So, wouldn't it be easy for the squad leader and the others to be discovered when they come back?" Xu Ge asked.

Su Liujun: "There's no need to worry about that. When we go to the airport for skydiving training next month, they will meet up with us there."

Xu Ge was about to say that he was a little afraid of heights when Li Dongshui suddenly sat up: "What did you guys just say? Skydiving?"

The others were all taken aback: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Li Dongshui looked terrified: "I can't jump! I'm afraid of heights! Someone will die!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
Stealing my lines, right?

The three veterans laughed: "Everyone who jumps says they're afraid of heights."

"No, aren't you all afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's exciting and there are subsidies, we can't wait to jump every day!"

Li Dongshui: ...

"Can I not jump?"

"What do you say?"

Xu Ge asked, "I want to ask, what if someone is absolutely too scared to jump?"

The three veterans chuckled: "No way!"
