497 Two Good News (2/2)
He stuffed his phone into his pocket before leaving his bedroom to go to the garage.
It was October 20th and the 80 days of training were completed. Based on the agreement between Jiang Chen and Ayesha, he would personally pick her up once training ended.
To be honest, Jiang Chen missed her quite dearly after so long.
…
The vessel that carried supplies to the island didn't bring any supplies this time. Its mission was to bring back the trainees on the island.
Right now, the 110 agents were standing on the beach waiting for their last examination. Watching the outline of the vessel on the horizon, everyone had genuine excitement on their faces.
The training was finally over and the rookie agents managed to make it out alive. Because of this, they completed the transformation from a rookie to a qualified agent and warrior.
Ayesha not only taught them how to disguise themselves and collect information, but she also taught them everything she knew about combat including sniping, calling airstrikes and even individual combat, which were all part of their daily training requirements. The virtual training and live ammunition training were conducted simultaneously to engrave this information deep down into their bones like instincts.
80 days ago, they were just a bunch of girls, but now, 110 fully trained agents stood there. With the assistance of carbon Nano bulletproof vests, genetic vaccines, Ghost Sniper Rifles, Type-11 Pistols, heat sensor grenades, digitalized contacts and injected chips, the combat abilities of any one of them could compare to a fully equipped, six-man special force team.
Once Fallout Shelter 027 could produce optical camouflage and Gauss Rifles, their combat abilities could easily steamroll an entire squadron.
When he arrived on the island, Jiang Chen resisted the urge to kiss Ayesha. He stood in front of the 110 agents in formation. In front of their reserved but determined eyes, he was pleased.
He paused and spoke in a loud voice.
”Congratulations, you all passed the test. I see 110 agents and 110 warriors here. I'm happy.”
”In 80 days' time, I trust Ayesha already taught you what you need to know and what you should know.” Jiang Chen smiled at Ayesha then looked back at the 110 agents. ”I will only emphasize two words here: loyalty and bravery. I won't waste time on anything else.”
”Your work in the future will not be easier than your experience the past 80 days. Or rather, the difficult training you went through is nothing compared to what you will face in the future. Your work may be staying in Xin to conduct 'safe' counterintelligence work, or you could be sent all over the world to execute the most dangerous missions and even take on the elites from the CIB or KGB. But I promise you will be able to easily take them on. And as your boss, I will make all of you believe that your effort is well worth it.”
Jiang Chen signaled the row of soldiers by the side and they opened the ten briefcases filled with cash.
Glancing at the green paper bills, even the strongest-willed agents held their breath. Each briefcase contained at least one million in cash and there were ten of them.
On the entire beach, the only people who were unaffected by the scene was Jiang Chen, who didn't lack money, and Ayesha, who wasn't interested in money. Even the six female assistant trainers gulped at this sight.
Jiang Chen was pleased to see the expressions on the agents' faces.
”The money is all yours. You can spend it however you want.”
”Everyone is rewarded with 100 thousand USD and 10 days of vacation. This is not your pay - it is just a small bonus to you for passing the training.”
”At the same time, I want you to know that you're serving the richest man on the planet. So I hope you won't be foolish enough to be bought by some paper bills. You won't be let down materially. But to match that, I want you to feel a sense of purpose and belonging.
”Ghost Agents, this is your name.”
”I want all of you to be proud of this name. Our enemies will fear this name.”
