Chapter 438 - 437
What’s even stranger is that people usually take photos of scenic spots and beautiful landscapes, but this godforsaken place has nothing but sand and dead grass. What’s there to photograph? That new recruit was too green to be scared, thinking back to the patriotic education he had received in the training battalion and his knowledge about enemy spies, he acted on the principle of ’better to mistakenly kill than to let go’ and charged forward. Bullets were loaded, and the bolt of his rifle made a loud rattle of noise, followed by shouts of "the Liberation Army treats POWs kindly." According to his own account, he truly prepared himself for death at that moment, having watched too many Hollywood blockbusters and thinking that spies are equipped with 800 different weapons, capable of killing with a mere glance.
The process isn’t important, but the result is that the new recruit ended up being awarded the First-class Merit, and his career path smoothed out from there.

Wu Wenjun wore a face full of worry, "Such messed up stuff happens every year, we’re used to it, but with Huzi, it feels like it’s going too far."
