After all the soldiers had been carried away, the two men disguised as herdsmen gave the two locals a military salute.
"Sir, thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for disturbing you."
"No trouble at all. Hey, it's nothing. Come find me anytime you need help," the old herdsman said with a smile.
"Sir, don't worry. If we need your help, we'll definitely let you know. Thank you again for this time."
"No need to thank me. That makes us sound like strangers. I've helped plenty of soldiers around here, and you soldiers have helped me plenty too. Over the years, my sheep have wandered off more than once or twice, and it was often you soldiers who found them and brought them back. If anyone should be saying thanks, it's me. All right, comrades, hurry along. Don't hold up your work." The old herdsman waved his hand.
"Then goodbye, sir!"
After saluting once more, the two men turned and ran swiftly toward the helicopter.
Soon, the last helicopter rose straight into the air.
As the helicopters departed, Jiang Yan Hai, who was at the new training base, naturally received the report.
"Reporting, Instructor! Everyone has been picked up. They all fell for it, and the helicopters are on their way back."
Jiang Yan Hai waved a hand. "As expected. All right, let them get some proper rest after they return. I'll go check on them later."
"Yes!"
About an hour later, several helicopters quickly landed throughout the training base. Some of the medical staff and logistics soldiers stationed there rushed out and carried all the soldiers into their barracks.
A bed had been prepared for each of them. Jiang Yan Hai personally went to check on everyone, though his main purpose was to scan them with the Advanced Scanning Program.
