The Telegram from Base Seventy-Three was quickly received by the Command Center's war room.

However, upon learning of this news, the personnel in the war room were momentarily stunned, followed by some disbelief.

Although there was no need to fake such a thing, as its authenticity could be verified with a simple check, the Iron Demon had indeed troubled them for quite some time.

In the past, it wasn't that they hadn't sent out strong teams to encircle and suppress them, but the opponent always managed to escape through loopholes in the encirclement, wasting a lot of manpower and resources without achieving any substantial results.

This time, the Iron Demon had chosen an excellent time, right when the rear was undefended. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent in the only team that had just entered the Convergence Zone and hadn't fully adapted.

They didn't expect this team to do much. They only hoped they could keep an eye on the Iron Demon, posing a threat to prevent them from recklessly causing damage to the rear.

But now, only a few days had passed, and they were saying that they had annihilated most of the Iron Demon's forces?

After discussing it, they decided not to report it immediately. Instead, they sent a telegram back in a serious tone, demanding confirmation of the telegram's reality.

Although Consultant Rao quickly replied to the telegram, they still didn't report it. They waited until the evening when Chen Chuan returned to Base Seventy-Three with the spoils of war and the Iron Demon's head. Only then, after reporting it in the name of the Base, did they truly confirm the matter and send the news up.

And within minutes, it was presented to Qiao Weiting, the head of the Command Center. He first noticed that this team had been there for less than seven days.

Typically, such a team should be on an adaptation mission and wouldn't be sent out at all.

He said to his adjutant, "I remember, isn't this the team that Commissioner Liang requested to form?"

The adjutant replied, "Yes, Director, it is."

"So it's them."

Qiao Weiting nodded. This was a team that had been specifically requested by the higher-ups and formed by drawing in capable individuals. He roughly knew what the team was for.

He said, "Executive Officer Chen is now a First-Class Executive Officer, right?"

"Yes."

Qiao Weiting clicked on the Boundary Token and looked at the resumes of Chen Chuan and his two teammates, mainly focusing on Chen Chuan's.

He said, "Hmm, according to his file, he has accumulated quite a few merits before. Adding them up, he can be promoted by one rank. According to the Command's reward and punishment standards, he can be promoted to Executive Captain this time, and his two team members can be promoted to Second-Class Executive Officer in order."

The adjutant reminded him, "Director, Executive Officer Chen was already promoted by one rank as a matter of routine after joining the defense plan. It hasn't been long since then, and he's being promoted again... Wouldn't that be a bit fast?"

Qiao Weiting said, "Merit is merit, there's no such thing as early or late. If a comrade who has made such a contribution isn't promoted, no one will work hard in the future.

Also, for solving a problem that the Base hasn't been able to solve for a long time with just one team, once the procedures are completed, issue a commendation in the name of the Command, and have someone bring my Sidearm over to encourage them to continue their efforts."

"Yes!"

On the other side, Chen Chuan stayed at Base Seventy-Three for one night, then said goodbye to Haicheng and others, and returned to Base Four, where they had originally set out, with the Iron Demon's head and spoils of war.

Officials sent by the Command were already waiting here. They inspected the heads and armor Documents of the Iron Demon and others, confirmed that it was the Iron Demon himself, completed the handover procedures, and finally shook hands with them, smiling and revealing some news about their upcoming promotions before leaving.

Since they had only attended classes for two days before, and some essential information had not been clearly explained, they took the opportunity to catch up on these course while resting after returning here.

Apart from what they had been told before, the rest was mainly some basic knowledge about the creatures in the Convergence Zone. In fact, this is the danger that the garrison in the Convergence Zone faces daily.

The places where the garrisons are stationed now have all been carved out from the territories of these Convergence Zone creatures. Although hot Weapon can effectively deal with most creatures, the Convergence Zone is, after all, the Convergence Zone. Many creatures here have Mutated Tissue almost like a Martial Artist, which caused them great trouble during the earliest development.

The larger these creatures are, the harder they are to deal with. Contact should be avoided as much as possible. Originally, they wanted them to clear out some dangerous creatures to adapt, but they have now skipped this stage.

Five days later, Yuan Qiu Yuan was on the phone in the public telephone booth of the Base fortress. A female voice came from the phone: "Your Captain is very capable, you have to follow him closely."

"I know."

"Oh, our little brother has become obedient now. It seems that sending you to the Base was the right thing to do."

"Okay, do you have anything else to say, sis? If not, I'll hang up first. The Captain and the team are waiting for me."

"It's good to emphasize unity. When you're outside, the only ones you can rely on are your teammates. You have to build good relationships."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Qiu Yuan came out of the phone booth, put on his hat, and walked towards the restaurant. As he walked along the way, the personnel in the Base would stop to greet him and salute him, and he would return the salute in a proper manner.

He was very happy in his heart. Although the official order had not yet been issued, it had been confirmed that he would be promoted to Second-Class Executive Officer. It had only been a few days. His sister's promotion wasn't as fast as his back then. If he continued to work hard, surpassing his sister wouldn't be difficult. Then it would be his turn to show off at home in the future!

When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw that Chen Chuan and Qin Qing Que had already arrived. He quickly walked over, quickly ordered food, sat down there, and after taking a few bites, he asked, "Captain, when will we carry out another mission?"

Qin Qing Que looked at him and said, "We've already been promoted by one rank. It's impossible to be promoted again in a short period of time."

"Hey, I'm not thinking about getting promoted. I just want to follow the Captain out on missions. It's so boring to be stuck here watching those random things all day long."

Chen Chuan said, "There will be missions. You guys should prepare first."

Hearing him say that, the two knew that he must know something. Yuan Qiu Yuan was immediately relieved and began to eat heartily.

After Chen Chuan had lunch, he left the restaurant and went to the aisle. A quartermaster saluted him and said, "Executive Officer Chen, please come this way."

Chen Chuan nodded and followed him to a reception room. Councilor Pei was already waiting for him. Seeing him come in, he asked the quartermaster to leave, and smiled as he extended his hand, "The order from above has been issued. Someone will come today to officially announce that you are an Executive Captain. Congratulations, Captain Chen."

Chen Chuan shook his hand. "Thank you."

Executive Captains are not so easy to become. Generally, capable people usually have to be around thirty or forty years old to reach this rank, because this is a threshold.

In terms of identity, it can be seen as transitioning from a simple combatant to a military officer. At the Base, they are qualified to attend military meetings.

And in terms of rank, even if they are not here, but transferred out to work in Central City, they can directly hold key positions in some violent agencies.

Although he felt it was good, at least his salary and benefits had increased, he knew that all of this was brought about by force. So he knew that this was the root. Without force, there would be nothing.

Councilor Pei then asked him to sit down, and brought over a can of tea, smiling and saying, "Everything is simple here at the Base. It's not easy to transport things up from the rear. This tea of mine is still old tea that I brought when I came before, and no one drinks it for me. Today, please have Captain Chen taste it."

He personally poured tea for Chen Chuan. As the tea leaves floated in the water glass, a fresh tea fragrance filled the air.

At this time, he said, "Captain Chen, do you know that the Convergence Zone actually has many unique products that can bring us a lot of benefits? Many Companies have some factories and research institutes set up in the far rear."

Chen Chuan asked, "Do we have any here at the Base?"

Councilor Pei shook his head and sat down, saying, "Although we are also considered the rear here, it is relative to the first half. In reality, it is also a battle zone. As you can see, it is not very stable here. Those research institutes are in even safer places, with defense levels much higher than ours."

At this time, he reached out and took a box from his feet and placed it on the table, "This time, what Captain Chen and your team did solved a problem for the higher-ups. This is the Special drugs that the Command has allocated to your team. The higher-ups have spoken and allocated them to you in advance. As for how to distribute them, you can discuss it with your team members."

Chen Chuan understood that the so-called discussion was actually a default that the Captain would distribute them. This was the Captain's power.

So within the team, if the team members didn't listen to the Captain, they would often be deducted from Drugs, or you would be sent to carry out dangerous missions. In the end, you would either give in or find a way to transfer yourself.

This was still good. Some people would deliberately find excuses to make things difficult for team members in order to get more Drugs.

However, he would not use these to target his teammates. Not to mention that he had Drugs provided by the Fusion Boundary Company, even if he didn't, he wouldn't take things that didn't belong to him.

He said, "Thank you, Councilor Pei."

Councilor Pei smiled, and then said, "This time's commendation for you should have come down earlier, but some people, insisted on making an issue of the procedure, reviewing and verifying it several times before finally releasing it to you on the last day."

Saying that, he gestured towards the box in front of him, "And these Drugs, if there is no nod from above, and it is stuck in a certain procedure, you may have to wait a few months to get them."

Although he didn't name names, Chen Chuan knew when he was urged by some people that day that there must be factions at the Base.

Because he was brought in by Councilor Pei, he was naturally divided together. And some people may be intentionally putting pressure on him and making trouble for him. This has nothing to do with good or bad, it's just a matter of standing in line.

This is unavoidable.

However, he always firmly believes in his own Strength. As long as Strength reaches a certain level, external constraints and shackles can be slowly broken free.

Councilor Pei said a sentence and didn't mention it any more. He said, "Also..."

He glanced outside, and moved his body sitting on the sofa slightly forward, and said in a low voice: "That person, although he cleared his suspicion on the surface, he was still forced to take a vacation. He will pass by here in the next two days, and may stay for a few days. Captain Chen, remember to pay attention..."
