An hour later, Li Li was lying on a clean bed, with Luo Xiao, Zhang Heng and others standing beside him.

"Team Li, I have two pieces of news here, one good and one bad, you listen to that one first." Zhang Heng looked at Li Li and said with a slight smile.

"I'm a different person, I like to think about anything, the worst side, so I listen to the bad news first." Li Li looked at Zhang Heng and made a simple guess from his smile, these two things add up, and the positive and negative should be positive, that is, the combination must be a good thing.

"The bad news is that Huang Tianqiang, Dong Wei, Yang Weigang, and Wang Wei were all seriously injured and sent to Anshi Hospital, and the rest were more or less slightly injured, our squad basically lost its combat effectiveness, most of the outpost defense facilities were destroyed, and most of the personnel were lost, and now there are less than 100 soldiers who can fight, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the normal period, and news came from Anshi that a large group of monsters have not far from the Chenjiagou outpost." Zhang Heng looked at Li Li and finished all the bad news in one go.

"This bad news is bad enough, but what about the good ones?" Li Li said self-deprecatingly.

"The good news is that the Anshi Command has agreed to our withdrawal to Anshi." Zhang Heng said the exciting news word by word with a happy face, it would be safe to withdraw to Anshi, how could it not make people happy.

It turns out that this humanoid monster has been slaughtered continuously, and more than 10 temporary outposts set up around Anshi can be said to have almost destroyed all the outposts set up outside the city by the Anshi Headquarters, plus a large group of monsters slowly approaching Anshi, and the outpost has lost its original early warning effect.

This group of monsters is only the vanguard of the monster army, but it is not something that the current Chenjiagou outpost can fight, so after research and consent, the members of the Chenjiagou military outpost withdrew to Anshi.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Chenjiagou outpost, bravely fought bravely and successfully repelled the attack of the humanoid monsters, preventing the humanoid monsters from further harassing the construction of the Yingkou defense line, and the captain of the ninth team, Li Lihan, was not afraid of death and played a decisive role in this battle, so Li Li was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.

Three hours later, Li Li stood at the door of the Chenjiagou outpost, which was already empty, and the original garrison had withdrawn to Anshi one after another, and Wang Deqiang and other former commanders of the outpost returned to Anshi as soon as they received the order to retreat, and now only Li Li and these people remain.

"Let's go." Li Li retracted his gaze and boarded the off-road vehicle, and Zhang Heng and Luo Xiao also followed into the off-road vehicle.

When Li Li's military vehicle entered the camp, it was warmly welcomed by a group of soldiers, which was arranged by Chen Guibin, in order to commend Li Li and others for successfully repelling the humanoid monster at the Chenjiagou outpost, and of course this was also a means for Chen Guibin to win over Li Li and show favor to him.

In addition to Chen Guibin, there are several bigwigs in the leadership of Anshi City, Tan Zhenlin, commander of the 74th Division, and Ren Yanwu, commander of the 112th Division.

Although Li Li was not interested in these bigwigs, but in order to make things easier in the future, he also respected them, and after a long time of greetings, he finally returned to his dormitory, and when he left, Chen Guibin told Li Li that tomorrow there will be a ceremony to award the soldiers who have contributed to this battle.

Standing in the bathroom, constantly washed by the hot water flowing from the shower, Li Li likes this feeling, because this will calm his impetuous heart, and also make the tired heart be temporarily washed, after more than an hour in the bathroom, he walked out slowly, came to the bed and habitually lit a cigarette, standing next to the window and looking into the distance with deep eyes.

Early the next morning, Li Li put on a brand new military uniform and came to the auditorium of the barracks on time, the auditorium is very large and can accommodate 3,000 people at one time, and when he entered the auditorium, he was stopped by Zhang Heng who was standing at the door, and there were Luo Xiao, He Tao and some soldiers from the Chenjiagou outpost next to him, and after a while, Li Li and others were led into the corner of the auditorium by Sun Yang and sat down quietly.

About half an hour later, the leaders arrived one after another, and when the leaders came about to come, a young and beautiful, heroic, sweet-voiced hostess in military uniform on the rostrum announced the beginning of the award ceremony.

Then there is the speech of the leaders, the content of the speech is nothing more, no matter how difficult it is, we must also step forward, a series of words to inspire the soldiers, after the leaders finished speaking, officially began to award medals, Li Li and other people were invited to the rostrum to stand one by one, and then Chen Guibin personally awarded military ranks to everyone, as well as various heroic medals, and the flashes of the reporters' cameras around the rostrum flashed in front of everyone.

The deeds of Li Li and others were briefly introduced by Chen Guibin, and then an old man with gray hair and bright eyes in the center of the rostrum took the microphone and once again encouraged the soldiers in the audience in combination with the actual situation of everyone, which caused the young soldiers in the audience to boil for a while, and they wished to rush to the front line now to fight to the death with the humanoid monsters.

This kind of infectious speech has little effect on people like Li Li, whose minds are slowly maturing, although they were also shocked by this generous and passionate speech, but it was only shocked, and after the shock, there was nothing, after all, I had almost no emotional fluctuations with Cheng Xin, Ouyang Shaoyu, and other people, it was difficult to think about irrationality, and it also confirmed an old saying, what to learn from whom.

Li Li also secretly observed the expressions of everyone who was awarded military ranks and medals, Luo Xiao was ruddy, he was a hot-blooded man at first glance, and the rest of the people were almost full of fanaticism in their eyes, but when Li Li saw Zhang Heng, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, although this kid was smiling all the time, but the calmness in his eyes was real.

The reason why this award ceremony made such a big move and won so much attention from the command headquarters was that even the lieutenant generals of the command headquarters personally attended the ceremony, and Li Li knew that it was definitely not for the purpose of awarding medals to a few of them, but to carry out this award ceremony before the outbreak of the war.

After noon, the award ceremony ended, and then it was a big meal and drink according to the custom, during the dinner Li Li met a lot of military bigwigs, these bigwigs seemed to be particularly affectionate to Li Li, it seems that the incident of his battle against the humanoid monster shocked them too much.

After all, according to previous combat experience, a humanoid monster can easily kill multiple fourth-order abilities, and can kill a company's soldiers in a few minutes, and the horror of this kind of monster is almost the same as that of an alien monster, even if it is not much worse.

After the welcome banquet, Li Li quickly left the camp and came to the People's Hospital, where he and Zhang Heng made an appointment to visit the injured members of the Ninth Squad in the hospital.
