"I thought we were only fighting those fifty-odd pirates this time, but I never expected that there was such a large pirate organization behind us! I never imagined that you could wipe out nearly four hundred pirates all by yourself!"

"You know, this pirate gang has been a problem for our country for many years. Every time we discover the pirates, they disappear without a trace, which is a real headache for the country."

"I never expected that you would wipe out all these pirates in one fell swoop this time!"

"Our Wolf Fang has truly gained a fine soldier." He Zhijun looked at Tang Ming with a face full of satisfaction.

"You flatter me, sir. It's just that the pirates are a bit weak."

Tang Ming waved his hand and said, "If I stand still, these pirates probably won't be able to hit me. But this is also good. Although these pirates are not very strong, they are all armed with real guns and ammunition. This is a good opportunity for the team members to experience the cruelty of the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Fan Tianlei's lips twitched involuntarily.

This kid, he gets all cocky after just a couple of compliments!

Pirates were weak?

If they were weak, how could they have been so domineering at sea for so many years!

Seeing Tang Ming's expression, Fan Tianlei couldn't wait to slap him in the face.

"Would you die if you didn't keep a low profile?"

Fan Tianlei was speechless for a moment, then said, "I'm not going to talk about this with you anymore. Let's get the founding ceremony organized tomorrow."

Subsequently, He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei once again discussed with Tang Ming the commendation meeting and the establishment of the two special teams.

During the conversation, Tang Ming made it clear to the two of them that some of the team members might choose to give up voluntarily tonight.

After hearing Tang Ming's explanation, Fan Tianlei and He Zhijun couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After a night of arduous struggle, some newbies eventually chose to quit because they couldn't bear the cruelty of the battle.

Although there were no casualties in this operation, it left a shadow on their hearts to some extent.

Watching the rookies take off their helmets and walk out, Tang Ming didn't feel too sad. If they couldn't even get past this hurdle, then it proved that they were not cut out to be special forces soldiers.

The next day, the red blood cell team had five members remaining.

They are He Chenguang, Li Erniu, Wang Yanbing, Song Kaifei, and Xu Tianlong.

The Phoenix team has eight members remaining.

They are Tan Xiaolin, He Lu, Ye Cunxin, Shen Lanni, Ouyang Qian, Tian Guo, Tang Xiaoxiao, and Qu Bi Azhuo.

Tang Ming was very familiar with the remaining people; they were all main characters from the movies and TV dramas of his previous life.

The founding ceremony was not as grand as the previous commendation ceremony; in fact, it was rather uneventful, as no outsiders were invited to this ceremony.

The two teams of team members stood on the playground, while the members of the Lone Wolf Commando stood aside and watched. Fan Tianlei, He Zhijun, and Tang Ming stood in front of the team members, their eyes solemn and serious.

He Zhijun stepped forward, coughed a few times, and said, "Before the inaugural meeting, I must first commend Comrade Tang Ming! As the commander-in-chief this time, Comrade Tang Ming fulfilled all his responsibilities! In the end, Tang Ming almost single-handedly lured out hundreds of pirates and successfully killed them! He covered your successful rescue of the hostages and completed the mission perfectly!"

Fan Tianlei, watching Tang Ming from the side, chuckled and said, "This time, you'll definitely get a third-class merit! Once the application is approved, I'll personally deliver it to you!"

Tang Ming smiled, his expression neither arrogant nor haughty, humbly accepting the honor he deserved.

He Zhijun then continued, "Congratulations to each and every one of you for withstanding the most severe test. The female soldiers, whom I initially had the least faith in, have now successfully proven that you are no less capable than the male soldiers!"

"After the last mission, you have clearly understood the cruelty of the battlefield! Those of you who chose to stay after being baptized by the battlefield are worthy of the title of special forces members!"

The team members stood up straight, and the female soldiers, in particular, couldn't help but show a hint of pride on their faces.

But more than anything, it is the resilience and killing intent that remain after experiencing the battlefield!

He Zhijun surveyed the team members and solemnly announced, "I hereby declare! The Red Cell Team and the Phoenix Team are officially established!"

"Congratulations on officially becoming a special forces member of Wolf Fang!"

"Serve the motherland and the people!"

The male and female soldiers stood tall, their expressions revealing a fierce determination.

The high school team members standing to the side looked at these already mature rookies and were all inwardly full of admiration.

They are completely different now than when they first arrived here.

"Congratulations on successfully persevering! After this incident, given your excellent performance, you can relax a bit."

Fan Tianlei stepped forward and said, "The higher-ups have seen your performance and decided to give you a week's leave! You should also go back to your original units for a transfer."

"A...a holiday?!"

Ye Cunxin's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.

After six months of intensive training, they have fully adapted to this training mode. As for a vacation?

They never even considered that!

Everyone looked on in disbelief.

Fan Tianlei glanced at the team members and said, "If you don't want to, I can apply to the higher-ups to cancel the seven-day holiday."

"No! We are willing, very willing!" Wang Yanbing immediately stood up and shouted.

Looking at Fan Tianlei's expression, it turned out that he really wasn't joking.

The team members were so excited they almost jumped up.

During these six months, did they ever take even half a day off?

Training begins the moment you open your eyes; even when you sit down, you have to memorize various theoretical concepts.

Even in their dreams, they would dream that they were training!

After such a long period of high-intensity training, both their bodies and minds have reached their limits.

It's time they got a good rest.

Of course, Tang Ming was also on this holiday.

Having been in the military for so long, it's time to go home and visit!

"Chief Instructor, what are you planning to do for the next seven days?" At this moment, the female soldiers surrounded Tang Ming and chattered away.

"I plan to go home and spend time with my family. I haven't seen them for a long time," Tang Ming said.

"Hey? Where does the head instructor live? Can we go out and play together?"

"Let's skip going out for fun for now, we can talk about it later."

Tang Ming politely declined and then said goodbye to He Chenguang and the others.

There was nothing much going on at the military base, so Tang Ming didn't linger and headed home.

Tang Ming's hometown is very close to Langya; it only takes half a day by car to get there.

Upon hearing the news that Tang Ming was coming home, Tang's mother got up early in the morning to go to the market to buy chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and prepared a table full of dishes to wait for their eldest son to return home.

"Honey, call our kid! See how long it will take him home? I'll time it and stew the old hen! It's our kid's favorite!"

Tang Ming called out to his father as he worked in the kitchen.

“It’s only 10:30. Our child is so grown up, and a special forces soldier at that. You’re worried he’ll get lost? We just called him a dozen minutes ago. You…”

"Look at this huge table of food, how can our family possibly finish it all? It'll all go to waste."

Mr. Tang replied with a helpless expression.

Since learning that Tang Ming was going home for the holidays, Tang's mother has been bombarding him with more than a dozen phone calls this morning, afraid that if she doesn't call him soon, Tang Ming will be lost.

“Our eldest son hasn’t been home for so long, what’s wrong with making him something nice to eat! Besides, he’s our only child, whether you miss him or not, I do!

Tang's mother glared at Tang's father, "This whole table is full of his favorite dishes! If you're not going to help, then don't stand there causing trouble. Go watch your TV!"

Mr. Tang shook his head with a wry smile and continued watching TV.

At this moment, Tang Ming had already gotten off the high-speed train and was preparing to take a taxi home.

"Driver, to the entrance of XXX residential area."

Wu Feng put the suitcase in the trunk and said to the driver in front.

"Alright! Buckle up, buddy, safety first."

The driver readily agreed, and soon the car drove away from the high-speed rail station.

"Dude, are you on leave from your military service?"

Soon, the taxi driver began chatting enthusiastically with Tang Ming.

How did you know I was a soldier?

Tang Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

"Whether someone is a soldier or not can be seen at a glance; your temperament is different from others."

The taxi driver chuckled, "Soldiers have a certain capable air about them; I doubt I'd be wrong about that, hahaha..."

Tang Ming smiled and said, "When it comes to judging people, you have to be a taxi driver."

Having met countless people every day, my eyes are truly sharp!

The high-speed rail station isn't far from home, and especially at this time of day, it's not affected by the morning, noon, or evening rush hours.

But the roads inexplicably became congested.

Finally, the taxi came to a complete stop, unable to move forward even half a step.

"What's going on up ahead? There shouldn't be a traffic jam at this time of day."

The taxi driver rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and looked ahead with a puzzled expression.

Tang Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled.

If he had known he would have to hold it in for so long, he would have just run home.

But just then, the taxi driver's exclamation suddenly rang out.

"My goodness! There's such thick smoke coming out from over there?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming, who was already puzzled, suddenly felt uneasy.

Looking in the direction the taxi driver was looking, sure enough, an explosion had occurred at a chemical plant not far from them!

Thick smoke continued to rise, and the entire chemical plant was engulfed in flames.
