After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they soaked their clothes in a basin and scrubbed them clean, then fell asleep immediately, sleeping until the sun climbed onto the windowsill.

Dr. Rongsheng deciphered the data on two hard drives and, following the clues, found the long-lost submarine 303.

A large number of national treasures have returned to their homeland. At the award ceremony, Lin Quan received a first-class merit medal.

Time waits for no one. After a year in the army, he was promoted from private to corporal.

"Now I earn 5,500 yuan a month, which is almost nine times more than when I first joined the army."

"Jiang Xiaoyu, Lu Yan, and Zhang Chong are still stuck at the rank of private first class."

On the day of his promotion, he dialed his home phone.

Upon hearing that their son earns over 5,000 yuan a month, Lin Weijun and Zhong Yunxia couldn't stop laughing on the other end of the phone.

The joint Sino-foreign exercise has begun. Jiang Xiaoyu, quick-witted as ever, first tricked Ma Mingliang and his gang, who were being held captive, and then joined forces with Lu Yan and Zhang Chong to capture three members of the F country's "Wild Wolf" squad alive.

Wu Gang and Long Baichuan wanted to see for themselves just how tough Lin Quan was as a lone soldier, so they gave him a solo mission.

Last year, he single-handedly destroyed a pirate stronghold, killing over a hundred enemies and capturing the leader, Thomas, alive... This story had already spread throughout the training base.

The two men, filled with questions, stared at the training ground map.

Lin Quan received his equipment: one Type 95 assault rifle, three full magazines; two Type 92 pistols, four pistol magazines. All were blanks.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring more... If he were allowed to take as many as he wanted, he could carry twenty magazines.

After landing, he didn't go straight ahead, but took a shortcut and cut diagonally into the heart of the territory.

With steady breathing and firm map coordinates, the gun barrels were raised, and one shot at a time, white smoke rose from the chests of the "Wild Wolves" team members.

He's fast, quick to change positions, and even faster at finishing off enemies.

"At 400 meters, I can maintain my position while firing in bursts. If you get hit, you're out of luck. At that distance, every shot hits its mark; basically, no one can dodge it."

With its high rate of fire and deadly accuracy, the "Wild Wolf" team members didn't even have time to react.

For them, sniping at 400 meters is already a highly difficult task.

Lin Quan advanced, using the same ammunition as everyone else. He would take down an enemy and pick up their magazine for a resupply.

……

"How much has this kid cleared this time?" Long Baichuan stared at the counter, his eyebrows twitching.

"One hundred and thirty-two," Wu Gang replied confidently, staring at the tablet.

"At this rate, half of the 'Wild Wolves' will fall into his hands." Long Baichuan shook his head.

"I never expected that his individual combat skills have reached this level." Wu Gang's tone was no longer questioning, but genuinely astonished.

"I went to the sea training ground a couple of days ago and saw him carrying three logs and running ten laps around the track," Long Baichuan said softly, watching the figure speeding away in the distance.

"Carry three logs?" Wu Gang raised an eyebrow, his tone full of surprise.

"He tied the three logs together side by side with ropes..." Long Baichuan briefly recounted the events.

"A log soaked in seawater must weigh at least a thousand pounds. Even the strongest men of ancient times couldn't have done that much," Wu Gang sighed, shaking his head.

"Once the joint military exercises officially begin, Lin Quan will definitely get a chance to shine." Long Baichuan had already made up his mind.

Shen Ge stood to the side, her eyes fixed on Lin Quan on the screen, her eyes shining like fallen stars.

"Officer Shen, your eyesight is truly remarkable," Long Baichuan joked with a smile.

"When will the banquet be held?" Wu Gang asked casually.

"It's not decided yet." Shen Ge's ears turned slightly red, but the corners of her mouth quietly lifted up.

The camera cuts back to the dense forest... Lin Quan is walking through it, his Type 95 rifle firing swiftly. As soon as the Wild Wolf team members peek out, a puff of white smoke rises from their bodies.

"It seems like he knew where the person was hiding beforehand." Long Baichuan narrowed his eyes.

"They can pinpoint locations by the sound of the wind, and even catch their breath," Wu Gang nodded in agreement.

"At this rate, the Wild Wolf Command Post will have to move to a different location in another hour or so," Long Baichuan said with a smirk.

"It's not enough for one person to be tough; the real skill lies in the entire team stepping up." Wu Gang paused, then continued, "Once the Mars Scout Competition is over..."

"If our brigade could gather two or three like that, no, even one and a half, we would really feel at ease." Wu Gang's voice was lower, but his eyes were burning with fire.

Breathing-sensing map, covering a radius of one kilometer.

With a single raise and lower of the gun barrel, the Wild Wolf team member was "killed in action."

He knew exactly how many breaths were behind each bunker, and which shadows concealed the panting sounds.

The wolves want to surround them? They can't keep up with their pace, so the encirclement is just empty talk.

Lin Quan didn't stop, heading straight into the heart of the enemy territory... He took down all those on guard at the command post, those monitoring maps inside, and those shouting from the communications station, one shot at a time, cleanly and efficiently.

As soon as the exercise whistle blew, both sides returned to their camps.

Lin Quan first gave a brief report to Wu Gang and Long Baichuan, then exchanged a few words with Shen Ge before turning back to the sea training ground.

Zhongjia Village, Baoshan Town.

The group, carrying a plaque covered with red silk, went straight into the Zhong family courtyard.

Lin Weijun's heart sank as soon as he saw the three gold-plated characters "First-Class Merit".

The old folks in the village who had served in the military often said: "Third-class merits are received standing up, second-class merits are received lying down, and first-class merits... must be received by family members on your behalf."

When the plaque was delivered to his door, his first thought was that something had happened to his son.

Only after confirming over the phone that the person was safe and sound did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief. His hands trembled as he touched the corner of the signboard, his throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a single coherent sentence.

This time, 50,000 yuan in cash was deposited directly into the account.

The standards vary from place to place; in some places, the starting amount for a third-class merit is two thousand yuan.

With an additional 20,000 yuan in military dependent subsidies, Lin Quan's family has earned a solid 71,000 yuan since enlisting in the army.

During the initial recruitment phase, military dependents can receive 45% of the previous year's disposable income of urban residents... This money was deposited into Lin Quan's salary card long ago.

For saving Shen Ge for the first time, he was awarded a third-class merit and a reward of two thousand yuan.

He recovered the hard drive a second time and captured Thomas alive, earning him a first-class merit and ten thousand yuan on the spot.

Back at the sea training ground, Lin Quan threw himself back into his daily training.

With less time spent shooting, physical fitness became the main focus.

After practicing diligently for more than ten days, he tied the four logs tightly together, and with a slack on his shoulders, he steadily lifted them up.

In the morning, we ran and climbed on the mudflats with heavy loads, and in the afternoon, we plunged into the sea to catch fish.

The Qi-Qi-Shen breathing method should be practiced daily without fail... Nourishing Qi, concentrating the spirit, and strengthening the foundation, combined with adequate nutrition, will yield much faster results.

He eats the equivalent of two and a half meals of Zhang Chong in a day.

Throughout the entire sea training ground, Zhang Chong had the second largest appetite; no one dared to challenge him for first place.

Even with the terrifying intensity of the training, Lin Quan's abdomen still showed no distinct ridges.

With each breath, the lower abdomen rises and falls like waves, but the abdominal muscles don't stretch out at all.

To be precise, his muscles were taut but not exposed, hidden beneath his skin, as still as a deep pool.

"Brother Quan, you brought back another basket of fish today. Are you planning to fatten us up?" Lu Yan said with a smile, wiping his mouth.

"Eat a lot and train hard, you won't get fat or thin." Lin Quan carried the bucket towards the kitchen.

"Brother Quan, how long can you hold your breath underwater?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, leaning closer.

"Longer than you." Lin Quan didn't even turn his head.

"I just broke 19 minutes and 20 seconds!" Jiang Xiaoyu straightened her back.

This kid's talent is undeniable... In the later stages of Fire Blue Blade, he dragged Torras into the sea and held his breath underwater for over twenty minutes. That's how it was portrayed in the show, so it's not surprising that he can reach nineteen minutes and twenty seconds now.
