# Chapter 270: Crimson Heart Medal
Chen Xuan's scalp went numb!
He never expected a single phone call to stir up such a huge issue!
With the higher-ups' attitude being so firm, where would he dare to complain?
Whether he wanted to wait or not, he had to!
He directly replied uniformly: "Wait! Anyone who doesn't want to wait! Pack your bags and leave!"
All the association presidents were dumbfounded!
They never expected to receive such a reply, with such a firm attitude!
Everyone who could sit in the position of president was a seasoned veteran!
They naturally sensed something unusual from this!
Even if Jiangnan was a Space System user, it wasn't reason enough to delay for this!
What exactly did he have going for him?
After the reply came out, those presidents lost all their spirit and obediently waited.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan's Weibo had completely collapsed below!
"Coward! Hiding and not daring to come out? Dare to fight me!"
"You're going to lose sooner or later, why delay!"
"Is this the Rookie King? Don't even have the courage to fight?"
"I'm waiting for you in Jingdu! You little piece of trash!"
But Nan Shen's fans weren't having it, and immediately fought back!
"You think you're so tough? Is Nan Shen's blade getting dull? Or are you getting a bit cocky, old pal?"
"You obviously haven't seen the power of a humanoid Gundam!"
"Nan Shen! Go crush them!"
"Nan Shen! Come out! I know you're lurking!"
"What does the Pacifier War God have to fear?"
The war of words below grew more intense!
Everyone who came to provoke was thoroughly cursed out by Nan Shen's fans!
Comments exceeded a thousand in minutes, and no one knew how many melon-eating spectators came to watch the show!
Three days later!
Dragon Abyss Headquarters Airport!
Tens of thousands of Dragon Abyss soldiers stood in neat formation, their demeanor solemn!
And Red Dragon, straight in his Dragon Abyss military uniform, stood at the very front, his eyes full of anticipation.
A transport plane landed smoothly!
The first to come out was Bai Qianxun, followed by the Sharp Tooth Squad members!
Four had gone, only three returned, and everyone's expression dimmed!
Fang Liu and Wei Hua also landed safely!
The last to come out were Mountain Cat and Jiangnan!
At this moment, the entire venue was silent, not a sound to be heard!
Everyone looked utterly horrified!
Red Dragon's jaw nearly hit the ground!
Who was this dark-skinned old man holding a little girl?
"Damn! Is Feizhou really that terrifying? Did Nan Shen fall into an ink pool?"
"Pfft... hahaha! Was he roasted by the sun?"
"I'd rather die than go on a mission to Feizhou! Too terrifying!"
"Wait... why is Nan Shen the only one so dark? Why aren't the others?"
Right!
They all went to Feizhou, so why was Jiangnan the only one who turned as dark as this?
Seeing the horrified looks of the Dragon Abyss soldiers!
Jiangnan wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
His image of being tall and mighty!
Was completely ruined by this damn garlic!
No girl would ever like him now!
The original side effect of turning dark only lasted 12 hours before disappearing!
But Jiangnan, in order to infiltrate the base back then, had actually gnawed on ten Aihei Black Garlics!
The side effects on the others had already faded on the way back!
Only Jiangnan!
Was still dark as hell!
Red Dragon looked at Jiangnan in shock: "Brother! You..."
Jiangnan immediately started crying: "Brother Long! You have no idea! The mission was extremely tough!"
"At that time, I was surrounded by countless undead, and a ton of high-level spirit beasts were ravaging me!"
"Those fireballs even blew up the plane! Look at how blasted I ended up! Completely charred black!"
"If you don't give me a hundred or eighty catties of spirit beads and some pocket money, can you face me with a clear conscience?"
The team members looked at Jiangnan with speechless expressions!
(￢‸￢)
Can you have some shame?
Bai Qianxun: "Pfft... mmph~"
She couldn't hold it in anymore. It was obviously because he ate too much garlic, okay?
Coming back and playing the pity card!
Red Dragon rolled his eyes!
Who would believe that nonsense!
What kind of plane could blast a person so black?
Even if the plane exploded...
Hmm? Wait!
Plane? Did my Osprey explode?
Damn it!
[Left Haitang's Resentment +1000!]
Jiangnan was startled!
The system's resentment collection function was reactivated?
It stopped sulking?
Red Dragon said irritably: "Nonsense! No spirit beads and no pocket money!"
"But there's another reward for you!"
"Dark Night Army Jiangnan! Mountain Cat! All members of the Sharp Tooth Squad! Receive your honors!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Brother Long! Honors? Isn't this... a bit too much?"
You know, receiving an honor!
Was only possible for those who had made significant contributions to the country!
Even during Suka, he didn't get this chance!
Red Dragon smiled bitterly: "Kid, you really don't know what you've accomplished, do you?"
"Do you know how huge an impact destroying Dracula's nest for producing undead serum has on the international situation?"
"Stop with all the nonsense, just accept it when told to!"
"Jiangnan! Awarded the Crimson Heart Medal! Promoted to Major!"
"Everyone! Salute!"
At that moment, including Red Dragon, all Dragon Abyss soldiers stood at attention and saluted!
Solemn and dignified!
Jiangnan's mind was blank. Although he didn't know what being a Major meant!
But Mountain Cat seemed to be a Major, right?
And she was a battalion commander!
Now, Mountain Cat, Bai Qianxun, Tang Shi, and the others all stared in shock at the small medal hanging on Jiangnan's chest!
The Crimson Heart Medal?
No way!
This was almost the highest level of honor medal!
It could be said that almost no one who received this medal while still alive!
The significance was clear enough!
Meanwhile, Mountain Cat and the others were awarded Purple Heart Medals as recognition!
Mountain Cat was even promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel!
Even Wei Hua got one!
Fang Liu was still standing aside, full of anticipation!
But Red Dragon's face turned cold: "Because of your negligence, a young comrade, Rose, was sacrificed!"
"And you still expect an honor? Think about what you've done!"
"First finish your report! Your punishment will come later. Get ready to be discharged!"
Fang Liu's face turned pale. He wanted to explain something, but seeing Red Dragon's icy gaze!
He couldn't say a single word!
After the honor ceremony ended, inside the operations command room!
The disk and the remaining three generations of undead serum were handed over!
Jiangnan was now treasuring his small medal, admiring it with great fondness!
"Xiao Mila! Look, isn't it beautiful?"
Mila tilted her head without speaking, her big eyes full of confusion, but she still nodded.
Red Dragon looked at the operations report, frowning slightly: "There should be 30 vials of serum left, why are there only 29 now..."
Fang Liu's body stiffened, his eyes dodging: "I accidentally broke one during my experiment, so I didn't record it."
Wei Hua nodded in agreement, so Red Dragon didn't pay it any more attention.
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Mila.
"The backup data and serum will be handed over to the Spirit Martial Research Institute later."
"As for Mila, she still needs to be sent to the research institute for a systematic examination."
Jiangnan frowned and instinctively shielded the little girl: "How will the examination be done?"
Red Dragon shook his head with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, it's just a comprehensive check. After all, we don't know much about her ability or physical condition."
"It's also for her future development. Her current state... isn't right."
"It's best to do the examination as soon as possible."
Jiangnan nodded. After all, the little girl hadn't eaten anything for the past few days and hadn't spoken. It was quite worrying.
Red Dragon stepped forward, squinting with a friendly smile!
"Xiao Mila! Would you like to come with uncle?"
"Uncle will take you for a check-up!"
"I'll give you a lollipop!"
Mila glanced at Red Dragon, completely ignoring him. She just hugged Jiangnan tightly, burying her little face into him.
Jiangnan said darkly: "You sound like a bad guy to me. Like some old creep!"
[Left Haitang's Resentment +1000!]
Red Dragon exploded!
Where do I look like a creep?
He stepped forward and pulled Mila's arm: "Uncle will take you to eat something delicious!"
Jiangnan also softened his voice to comfort her: "Mila, be good. It's for a check-up. It's a good thing."
Mila stared blankly at Jiangnan!
Why separate?
Had big brother abandoned her?
Did he not like Mila anymore?
In an instant, Mila's big eyes welled up with tears!
Tears like broken pearls slid down her cheeks!
Her eyes even carried a hint of pleading!
As if saying!
Big brother, please don't abandon me, okay?
Mila will be good!
It took so long to find this tenderness. How could she bear to let go?
The person in front of her was the only one in this world who was good to her...
"Come! Come with uncle! It's okay! Be good!"
Suddenly, Mila violently broke free from Red Dragon's hand!
"Ya!"
She dove straight into Jiangnan's arms, holding on for dear life!
Shaking her head desperately!
"Ya! Ya! Waaah~ Ya!"
This was the first time Jiangnan heard Xiao Mila speak!
That pleading look stabbed into Jiangnan's heart like a knife!
"Brother Long! Let's skip the examination for now!"
