He suddenly brought his legs together, raised his right hand, and saluted Lin Yi with a Chinese military salute.
His dark face was full of solemnity and immense respect.
Lin Yi looked at Andre's serious look and was slightly startled.
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and then he solemnly raised his hand and gave Andre a standard military salute.
At this moment, no words are needed.
Andre then put down his hand, took the box ecstatically, and said loudly, "Thank you, Chief Instructor, this is my great honor!"
He hugged the box and almost jumped off the stage, eliciting a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.
Subsequently, the other foreign students' names were called one after another and came to the stage to receive this unexpected and precious gift that represented recognition and commemoration.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and the warmth of being part of the group.
The ceremony continued and the atmosphere became more harmonious and warm.
When the last student returned to the queue with his equipment in his arms and his own instructions, the setting sun just outlined a golden outline for this new force.
Lin Yi returned to the center of the rostrum, and his eyes slowly swept across the young, resolute, and more tempered faces in the audience.
He did not continue the long speech, but directly said with a smile, "Exchange the contact codes of the portable Detector in your hands."
"From today on, you are not only comrades-in-arms, but also a whole, and each other's most trustworthy back. When encountering problems, discuss them with each other first. The collision of ideas can often produce the most brilliant sparks."
Then, Lin Yi paused and raised his voice a little, "Of course, if you really encounter a problem that cannot be solved"
All the students raised their heads and looked at him expectantly.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said his code, "You can also ask me. My contact code is: 08060910."
The audience immediately burst into excited murmurs and quickly recorded sounds.
The chief instructor actually directly disclosed his contact number.
The graduation ceremony ended when the sun was about to sink completely into the horizon.
The trainees held the red boxes containing the equipment in their arms. Their excitement could not be calmed down for a long time. They gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging contact codes and discussing future plans. They did not board the train until the instructors urged them to return.
The setting sun casts its last light on the ruins, shining on this group of young Yuan warriors who have just graduated and are newly equipped. After tonight, they will return to their respective places and take Eastern Edge's Spark to various places.
The short training has ended, but their journey has just begun.
That little East Peak Emblem will serve as their common mark, accompanying them on the thorns and Road of Glory of the future.

After the ceremony, Lin Yi also returned to the camp with the large group.
In addition, there are more than ten students selected by him.
These people were basically students who, based on his observation, were more suitable to stay in school as instructors. After all, everyone had their own strengths, and not everyone was suitable for taking the combat route.
Lin Yi had previously asked their opinions privately about these people's stay in school, and they all agreed happily.
At this time, the old plaque of "East Peak Training Camp" has been quietly taken down at the base.
Although the new "East Peak Source Martial Military Academy" sign has not yet been put up, a brand new atmosphere is already filling the air.
When the vehicles drive in, you can see that many engineering vehicles and technicians have already begun to enter the site, measure and plan, and make preliminary preparations for the installation of the three newly acquired Deep Space Source Energy Condenser.
According to the emergency plan issued by General Staff, the expansion work will start immediately.
The original second batch of 800 Training Camp trainees will arrive here tomorrow and will be directly transferred to the second batch of trainees of the military academy.
The 2,400 trainees for the emergency expansion of the national army will also complete the preliminary screening within three days and report one after another.
By then, this Training Camp, which was just born in the flames of war, will rapidly expand into a military academy that is beginning to take shape.
"The efficiency is pretty good."
Lin Yi looked at the busy scene outside the window and nodded secretly in his heart.
The determination and action capabilities of the top management are clearly demonstrated through this vigorous and resolute arrangement.
He got out of the car and gave a brief explanation to the dozen or so new "teachers" behind him, asking them to familiarize themselves with the environment and prepare to start participating in some basic tutoring work tomorrow.
Everyone followed the order and left, all looking nervous and excited.
After dealing with these, Lin Yi is thinking about it--I am idle anyway, why not go find the 800 second-term students who have arrived and are settling in, serve them some appetizers, and experience Eastern Edge's teaching style in advance?
However, at this moment, there was a sound of slightly hasty footsteps.
He saw Nie Chang walking towards him quickly, with a trace of solemnity on his face.
"Principal Lin." Nie Chang used a new title, with a formal tone, "I just received an emergency communication from General Staff. Jinling City, a large settlement, sent us a message for help through the General Staff contact channel."
"Sure enough, you can't say that you are idle right now, otherwise something will happen."
Lin Yi complained in his heart, then turned around, "Jinling Settlement? What trouble did they encounter?"
He knew that Jinling City, as a provincial capital city, had always been under considerable defensive pressure around it.
"Here's the thing."
Nie Chang pondered for a moment and organized his words.
"There is a large Abyss Beast Nest close to the large settlement in Jinling. When we originally selected the location of the settlement, we did not know that the scope of the nest territory was expandable."
"Today, the nest's territory has expanded to the vicinity of the settlement's defense circle. Recently, there have been several instances of high-level Abyssal Beast wandering to the edge of the defense line and attacking the fortifications. Jinling is under great pressure."
Lin Yi frowned slightly. "The nest will expand. General Staff has known about it for some time. Didn't Jinling make any attempt to eliminate it and contain it on its own?"
Nie Chang showed a wry smile on his face, "Of course I have thought of a way."
"The armed police and troops in the settlement have sent elites to proactively enter the nest territory to clear out Abyssal Beast. However, within the scope of large nests, the density of powerful Abyssal Beast is very high, and the clearing effect is not good, but rather compromised."
He paused and his tone became more solemn.
"Furthermore, because of the previous "Dawn Plan" and subsequent nest extermination operations on our side, the large-scale settlement in Jinling also fully supported it, and a lot of ammunition reserves were allocated to support, so their own ammunition reserves, especially heavy weapons and ammunition, are not sufficient."
"With this ebb and flow, the speed of elimination cannot keep up with the speed of Abyssal Beast, which leads to the territory of this large nest continuing to spread towards settlements."
"The Jinling Command originally planned to bite the bullet and give up Outer Defense Line in that direction and try its best to evacuate some of the population in the settlement to the surrounding areas, but..."
Nie Chang looked at Lin Yi, "They just happened to know that the military academy is going to select the second batch of cadets, and you may be temporarily unavailable, so I thought I would ask your opinion through General Staff first to see if there is a more appropriate way to deal with it to avoid being forced to move."
"After all, other settlements are also overcrowded. It is estimated that only our newly recovered area Helu City is capable of receiving a large number of people."
"But to come to Helu City, you need to pass through a territory of Medium Nest. It's easy for a small number of people, but the migration of so many people is quite troublesome."
Lin Yi fell into deep thought after listening.
The oppression of a large nest, the shortage of troops and ammunition, and the huge cost of migration are all intertwined. It seems that it is indeed a bit tricky.
I heard that if you can live for ten thousand days, even if you have some minor problems, you will be forgiven by generous book friends. I don't know if it is true or not...
