After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"With your respective skills and fearless courage, you turned the tide at a critical moment, successfully protected the masses, and completely thwarted the enemy's conspiracy."

As he spoke, Colonel Zhang's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces one by one, his eyes full of approval and affirmation.

"After careful consideration and evaluation by our superiors, we now officially announce that you all have been awarded First Class Collective Merit!"

Colonel Zhang raised his voice, and every word was powerful, echoing in the mountains like the bell of victory and glory.

Upon hearing the news, Nan Qiao and others were stunned at first, and then they all showed excited and proud smiles on their faces.

This collective first-class merit is not only a high recognition of their actions, but also an invaluable honor, carrying their sweat, courage and dedication.

Everyone looked at each other, tears and joy glistening in their eyes. Then, they all saluted Colonel Zhang with a standard military salute and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Colonel! We will continue to work hard and live up to this honor!"

The voice was uniform and loud, full of firmness and determination, and echoed in the sky above Lingyu Mountain for a long time.

Bird country.

Inside the heavily guarded military district office, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

The leader of the military region was sitting behind a large desk, his usually arrogant face now filled with gloom.

He tapped his hands on the desk impatiently. Why was there still no news? This shouldn't be the case.

Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the dull silence. He grabbed the receiver and listened to the message from the other end of the phone. His face turned ashen in an instant.

"What? They were all captured by the Flower Planters?!"

He widened his eyes and roared in disbelief, and before he finished speaking, he slapped the table angrily.

There was a loud "bang" and the documents on the table shook a few times.

He could never have imagined that all his carefully planned calculations would be completely ruined and would not succeed at all!

How could this happen? The information passed back by the insider made him feel that his plan was flawless, but why did it turn out like this!

He slumped in the chair, the mission assigned to him by the secret country kept echoing in his mind. It was still not even started, and now it has become like this, what should he do?

The man frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness. It seemed that he had to find another way quickly, and if necessary, he would have to use some extraordinary means.

On the other side, after receiving the medal and certificate, Nan Qiao walked straight towards his quiet bamboo house.

Stepping into the bamboo house, she took a deep breath of the air with a faint bamboo fragrance. She missed her home after not having been home for a few days, so she sat cross-legged on the cushion and quietly practiced in seclusion here.

But after a few days, a new idea arose in Nan Qiao's mind.

She flashed and appeared in front of Zhao Gang's residence, gently knocking on the bamboo door.

After Zhao Gang opened the door, she said, "Uncle Zhao Gang, I'm already at the Nascent Soul stage. The spiritual energy in our world is too thin. Even if I practice every day, my progress is very slow."

She frowned slightly, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. "It's still half a month before I report to Peking University. I want to travel through time again before then. Firstly, I might encounter something strange in another world, and secondly, I can bring back something useful for the country."

Zhao Gang nodded slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, you can travel through time in your own bamboo house. If others ask, I will say that you are in seclusion to practice, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

When Nan Qiao heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face, and she quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao Gang."

Zhao Gang nodded and smiled, "I'll have someone bring you the battle kit later. Be careful when you go to the other world, and prioritize your own safety."

"I know, Uncle Zhao Gang, you've said this so many times." Nan Qiao stuck out her tongue at Zhao Gang, "My ears are almost callused from hearing it so much."

With that, Nan Qiao ran out of the bamboo house with brisk steps.

Zhao Gang looked at her back and smiled with relief. This girl is becoming more and more lively.

Good, good, much better than before.

Not long after Nan Qiao returned to the bamboo house, he heard light footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yue's pretty figure appeared at the door.

"Ms. Nan Qiao, I've brought you a combat kit." Lin Yue said, handing over the combat kit in his hand.

The combat bag may not look big, but it contains many items that can come in handy at critical moments.

Nan Qiao took the combat bag, smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Lin Yue's shoulder and said, "Sister Lin Yue, you must practice well while I'm away. Don't slack off."

Lin Yue nodded vigorously, her eyes full of concern: "Ms. Nan Qiao, you must pay attention to your safety when you travel to another world."

Nan Qiao felt warm in her heart and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

After saying that, she put the combat bag on her back.

Although she had a space jade pendant that could store many items, which was very convenient, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought about the last time she was in the Misty Forest and her spiritual power was blocked and she suffered many inconveniences.

After Lin Yue left, Nan Qiao closed the door of the bamboo house, took out a jade slip to set up a space restriction for the bamboo house, and then contacted the system.

"System, I want to travel through time."

Then, the system's emotionless electronic voice rang clearly in her ears: "100 points of protection value have been deducted, and 250 points of protection value remain. You are about to cross over. Please prepare yourself."

Nan Qiao heard this and asked, why is it 250 again? Can you change the number?

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed before her eyes, instantly enveloping her completely.

She only felt a sudden strong sense of weightlessness in her body, as if she was floating in the void, moving uncontrollably.

I don’t know how long it took, but the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, and Nan Qiao felt grounded when his feet suddenly stepped on the bumpy ground.

Before she had time to take in her surroundings, the deafening sound of artillery fire and crackling gunfire poured into her ears like a tide.

"Be careful!" At this critical moment, a figure pounced like a cheetah.

He was a lean and tall young man wearing a slightly old green military uniform. He threw Nan Qiao to the ground as quickly as possible and used his body to build a temporary protective barrier for her.

The man looked young indeed, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. His face was exceptionally handsome, and there was a youthful energy between his eyebrows.

But he was very thin, as if he had no flesh on his body, and was so skinny that his bones were just skin and bones. When he pressed on Nan Qiao, Nan Qiao felt a chill all over her body.
