The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

After each class took turns completing one round of training, it gradually got dark.

Chen Gang checked the time and was about to announce the end of the mission.

A soldier on duty suddenly ran over from a distance.

"Report!"

"A fellow villager is asking for help at the entrance of the camp!"

He said two members of his family went into the mountains and haven't returned since!

The smile on Chen Gang's face vanished instantly.

"What's going on?"

"The fellow villager spoke rather quickly, and his accent was quite heavy, so there were some things I didn't understand."

"He's right here at the gate of our company's camp!"

Chen Gang did not hesitate.

"Luo Zhiyong, Shen Yan, Ga Wa!"

"arrive!"

"Come with me!"

The group immediately left the training ground.

When the rest of the class heard that someone had come for help and saw Shen Yan being called away by Chen Gang, their ears immediately perked up.

The remaining students from each class exchanged glances.

A single sentence simultaneously appeared in their minds.

Follow Shen Yan, and you'll be rewarded for your service!

Wei Shanjia has said this more than once before.

If you want to make a name for yourself, who knows when you'll be able to achieve it?

The simplest way is to cling to Shen Yan's coattails!

At the time, everyone thought he was just bragging.

But now that I think about it carefully...

This kid just brought the drone back to the elite unit yesterday.

This evening, a fellow villager came over for help!

What does this tell us?

He presented himself with another opportunity to make a contribution, and then he himself ran up to Shen Yan!

Without any hesitation, the group chased after them.

When Shen Yan and his group arrived at the entrance of the camp.

A herdsman in his fifties was pacing anxiously back and forth outside the sentry post.

His trousers and shoes were covered in mud, and his face was covered in sweat.

Upon seeing Chen Gang and the others emerge, the villagers immediately came to greet them.

"Comrades in the People's Liberation Army, please help me!"

"Please help me find my child!"

"Neither of them has come back yet!"

The villager was very emotional and spoke very quickly, interspersed with a lot of local dialect.

Chen Gang listened for a long time, but could only understand the gist of it.

He turned to look at Gawa.

"Little boy, come here!"

"yes!"

Ga Wa quickly stepped forward and comforted the other person in the local dialect.

"Adasi, don't be in such a hurry."

"Take your time."

"You need to clearly state when the person disappeared, where they went, and what clothes they were wearing!"

Hearing the familiar accent calmed the fellow villager down a bit.

After Ga Wa repeatedly questioned them, everyone finally understood what had happened.

My fellow villager's youngest daughter is seventeen years old this year.

This morning, as usual, she herded the sheep to graze in the mountains northwest of her residence.

Normally, I should be home by 6 p.m.

But today, even after sunset, the girl and the sheep did not return.

What's even more worrying is that more than a dozen sheep ran back to the village on their own before dark.

But the girl was nowhere to be found!

The villager's eldest son noticed something was wrong and rode a black motorcycle into the mountains that afternoon, following the route his sister usually used to herd sheep, to search for her.

Before leaving, he said he would call home after finding the person.

However, there is no signal in many parts of the mountains.

Several hours passed, and the eldest son's phone remained unreachable; he had not returned.

The villager led a few people from the village to search the area, but they found no trace of him.

As it grew darker, he had no choice but to run to a nearby military unit for help.

"What color clothes are you wearing today, young lady?"

Shen Yan immediately asked.

Gawa translated the question.

The fellow villager quickly answered.

"A red coat!"

"He's wearing black pants!"

"My son was wearing blue clothes and riding a black motorcycle!"

"Where do they usually graze their sheep?"

"Over there in Heishigou."

The villager pointed to the distant mountains.

"But recently there's been less grass there, so sometimes we continue heading west."

"There are too many gullies in the mountains, I can't find it!"

"It gets cold in the mountains after dark."

"What if my daughter falls and gets hurt..."

The villager's voice began to tremble as he spoke.

The excitement that had initially appeared on the faces of the group members due to the possibility of participating in the mission quickly vanished.

It's true that they want to make a name for themselves.

But nobody wanted anything to happen to their fellow villager!

Ga Wa's expression also turned serious.

He grew up in a village in Xinjiang and knows very well what the mountains mean after nightfall.

Temperatures are dropping rapidly, and the terrain is complex.

In some of the mountain valleys, even moonlight cannot penetrate.

If the girl is truly injured and unable to move on her own, the danger will increase with every additional hour she stays outside!

Moreover, it's not just girls who have gone missing now.

The brother who went in to look for someone also did not return!

"Company Commander."

Ga Wa turned to look at Chen Gang.

"Adasi said that some of the sheep had run back on their own, but the people hadn't returned."

"This is definitely not right!"

Chen Gang nodded, then took out his phone.

He did not arbitrarily relocate personnel, but instead reported the situation to his superiors immediately.

At the same time, the staff on duty contacted the local police station and the search team in the village.

A few minutes later, the order from above came back.

We agree that the Sharp Knife Company may send some personnel to assist the local search and rescue efforts!

Chen Gang put away his phone and immediately began making arrangements.

"Luo Zhiyong!"

"arrive!"

"Choose three people from your class and get ready to go into the mountains!"

"Bring lighting equipment, stretchers, winter clothing, and first-aid supplies!"

"yes!"

Luo Zhiyong just agreed.

Wei Shanjia was the first to step forward.

"Report!"

"I'm applying to participate!"

"I'm physically fit; if we really need to carry a stretcher, I can do the work of two people!"

Du Chengwu then stepped forward.

"Report! I'd also like to participate!"

"I've participated in mountain reconnaissance and am quite familiar with the complex terrain in the area!"

The Ma Hui Army was not lagging behind either.

"Report!"

"I can handle map marking and location recording!"

Xu Guodong, Liu Kai, Song Yuan, and Wang Guoqing panicked when they saw that the three spots were almost gone.

"Report! I can go too!"

"I can carry the equipment!"

"My physical fitness isn't bad either!"

"You can leave the lighting equipment and ropes to me!"

"Company commander, I want to go too!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the class stood up.

Chen Gang: "..."

I clearly only allowed Luo Zhiyong to choose three people.

How come the whole class signed up in the blink of an eye?

This is a mountain rescue operation!

If you didn't know better, you'd think the cafeteria was serving extra food in the evening and you couldn't get a seat if you went late!

"Shut up, all of you!"

Chen Gang looked at everyone with annoyance.

"I told Luo Zhiyong to pick three people, not for your entire class to sign up!"

Wei Shanjia immediately explained:

"Company commander, it's getting dark soon."

"The roads in the mountains are difficult to travel, so every extra person means extra strength!"

"Moreover, our class has been conducting mountain reconnaissance training recently, so we are quite familiar with each other's coordination."

"If we find the wounded, taking turns carrying the stretcher will be faster!"

"right!"

Du Chengwu said earnestly:

"Company commander, this is about saving lives! It's a matter of life and death!"

"Let's send more people; it'll be easier to handle complicated situations!"

Ma Huijun and others nodded in agreement.

Chen Gang looked at the group of people and knew exactly what they were thinking.

They probably all want to follow Shen Yan and get a chance to make a name for themselves!

"How could I not know what they're thinking?"

Chen Gang glared at Wei Shanjia.

"Do you think you can just reap the credit by following Shen Yan?"

Wei Shanjia's expression stiffened slightly.

broken.

How does the company commander know what they're thinking?

Does becoming a company commander automatically grant one the ability to read minds?

Wei Shanjia initially wanted to deny it.

Seeing Chen Gang's ambiguous smile, he could only answer honestly.

"Report."

"A little bit!"

"But our main goal is still to save lives!"

"Whether it's merit or not, it's not that important!"

Ga Wa couldn't help but add from the side:

"Company Commander, Wei Shanjia's eyes were practically glowing when he said that!"

"This is because they are desperate to save lives!"

Wei Shanjia gave Ga Wa a thumbs up, which was a rare occurrence for him!

This kid is finally able to utter some human words!

Chen Gang turned to look at Luo Zhiyong.

"What did you say?"

Luo Zhiyong thought about it carefully.

"Company commander, I think we can have the entire first platoon participate."

"Nighttime mountain search and rescue requires sufficient manpower."

"Besides, the local police station and villagers will also search from other directions. Our team is mainly responsible for the Heishigou direction, so there aren't many of us."

"After the wounded are discovered, personnel are needed for staff rotation, road lighting, and stretcher transport."

"Instead of temporarily drawing students from other classes, it's better to have Class One act as a whole."

Chen Gang remained silent for a few seconds.

Luo Zhiyong's words do make sense.

Entering the mountains after dark with too few people can be unsafe.

The squad has recently participated in mountain reconnaissance training, and their teamwork has become more familiar.

If the wounded are found, they can be transferred as soon as possible.

"OK!"

"Then let's send the entire class!"

"However, I'm warning you upfront!"

"This is a search and rescue mission, not a chance for you to go into the mountains and steal credit!"

"Everyone must obey orders, no one is allowed to leave the group without permission, and no one is allowed to act recklessly in order to show off!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey orders, I'll deal with them personally when I get back!"

The eyes of everyone in the class lit up instantly.

"Yes, sir!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized and even more powerful than during regular training!

After shouting, the veterans of the first squad looked at each other and saw the corners of their mouths that couldn't be turned up!

Wei Shanjia was right after all!

Want to make a name for yourself?

Then we have to cling to Shen Yan's coattails!
