Chapter 42 Integration

After the general tactical direction was explained, the people in the irregular circle fell silent for a moment.

With the change of command, the Central Plains team has gained absolute power due to its battle record, and it seems that the time for reckoning is approaching.

When it came to personnel changes, Yu Shuang indeed looked at Jia Wenxuan first.

Jia Wenxuan was on high alert, his throat tight, but Yu Shuang asked, "Can you use all kinds of drones?"

Jia Wenxuan was taken aback, and subconsciously answered, "Yes."

“When we’re driving at night, you’ll take over for Sun Yiran in the lead car, and during the day you’ll stay in the lead car.” Yu Shuang said, then looked at Qin Tianshuo, as if to discuss it.

Qin Tianshuo was also surprised that Morning Star's vice-captain was allowed to ride in the lead car and the navigator car.

He was still a little unsure about Yu Shuang's approach, but since Jia Wenxuan could see at night, this arrangement was indeed appropriate, so he nodded.

“Don’t you have a three-row vehicle? Let’s use it as a medical vehicle, move the two wounded men in there, and let our team’s Xiao Su, Chenxing, and Liu Weiyun go up there,” Yu Shuang added.

It was a very reasonable arrangement. Liu Weiyun had only minor injuries, so while she was recovering in the ambulance, the contamination levels of the two seriously injured patients could also be monitored.

Qin Tianshuo understood somewhat and felt admiration, nodding vigorously: "Okay!"

“The medical vehicle is positioned between the trucks and will not participate in combat.” He added, “There is one combat drone in each of the three directions. My deputy will take our team’s drone to the left escort vehicle, and Chenxing Ruan Xiaoyu will join the rear vehicle.”

"Alright. Count all the remaining ammunition for each team, distribute it to each vehicle as needed, with one person from each vehicle. After each battle, tally the remaining equipment and report it to me." Yu Shuang concluded.

"Location allocation is dynamic. If there are any issues with cooperation on any vehicle, please report them promptly so that they can be resolved as soon as possible."

Our driving principle going forward is speed. There won't be long rest periods for a day and a night, or even several days and nights. Be prepared for a long haul.

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

The response was much more unified than when Li Yi gave the order, and there were far fewer undercurrents and subtle conflicts.

The air seemed to have become fresher, and when the members of Team Chengfeng 2 and Team Bei 2 worked together, they began to get to know each other and chatted and laughed.

The members of Morning Star Team 1 felt as if they had punched cotton; the humiliation and isolation they had been wary of never came. They were simply scattered and assigned to different vehicles.

However, the three teams were all broken up, and they didn't show anything special about themselves.

That evening, while moving the injured person's car, Yu Shuang chatted with Zhao Bohan, who had regained consciousness: "Xiao Qin is quite cooperative; he took the initiative to help me dismantle the car."

Zhao Bohan observed the smile on her face and said sarcastically, "If he can't even cooperate with this, he's too stupid!" Yu Shuang rolled her eyes in response.

But Yu Shuang still tucked the blanket around him, fed him warm water and medicine, and watched him fall asleep again before leaving.

The team worked until midnight packing up the equipment, and the convoy had to set off again before dawn the next day.

After resting for a few hours, everyone was no longer tired thanks to their enhanced stamina, but this was just the beginning.

After the convoy had been traveling for half a day, the drone on the left escort vehicle observed the Fallen Insects.

The fallen insects were focused and swift in their actions; they were coming for them, but they couldn't catch up.

An hour later, a second wave of fallen insects came from another direction. Half an hour later, Qi An's lead drone spotted a group of insects blocking the way ahead.

This time there were two vehicles, two dilapidated pickup trucks, the truck beds crammed full of Fallen Insects, several of which were armed!

"Right escort vehicle 1, move closer to the lead vehicle, sniper on the roof, all vehicles prepare to accelerate!" Yu Shuang's calm voice rang out on the public channel.

The right guard's car contained Zhuang Xiao, Tang Long, and Li Yi.

Tang Long was driving, while Li Yi sat silently in the back seat.

At this moment, Tang Long accelerated towards the lead car. Zhuang Xiao wanted to stick her head out of the car roof, but Li Yi beat her to it.

Sun Yiran also leaned out of the roof of the lead car. She was also a petite girl, and her posture when holding a gun was particularly contradictory and cool!

The fallen insects ahead were within 1 kilometer. The weather was clear and they could be seen. Sun Yiran raised her eyebrows in a provocative gesture at Yang Yuning, who was driving, and then shattered the windshield of the first car with a single shot, shooting into the head of the fallen insect in the driver's seat!

The car braked suddenly!

The lead vehicle, driven by Jia Wenxuan, flew over the pickup truck with its combat drone and dropped bombs.

The first car was totaled, and the second pickup truck burst out of the explosion's smoke and dust with a chorus of screaming insects!

Sun Yiran's face scrunched up; the second shot missed.

She was furious, and then fired another shot, blowing the bug in the passenger seat's head off.

Her advanced auditory evolution made her extremely susceptible to contamination when fighting the Fallen Insects. Even noise-canceling headphones could only reduce the contamination by 99%, and the remaining 1% was torture for her!

Three consecutive air-dropped bombs blasted the bugs on the first pickup truck into a bloody mess. The second vehicle bypassed it, and one of the bugs, with a sniper rifle wrapped around its tentacle, pulled the trigger.

He was killed by Li Yi the moment the trigger was pulled. The bullet was aimed at the truck, but missed.

The distance between the two sides had narrowed to 500 meters! Li Yi also sniped the bug in the driver's seat, and together with Jia Wenxuan, they blew up the second car!

Zhuang Xiao pondered, thinking to himself that this guy did have some real skills.

The road was fairly wide, and the convoy bypassed the wreckage of the two pickup trucks without slowing down at all.

There were more ahead and behind, but thanks to their reconnaissance advantage, as well as timely orders and responses, they overcame several obstacles, relentlessly eliminating insects at each one. The insects behind them were left in the dust!

Sun Yiran shrank back into the car and let Qi An cleanse her. She felt so comfortable that she wanted to rub against Qi An.

Yang Yuning felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but use the butt of his gun to push her backward with a dark expression.

Sun Yi tried to move closer to the front seat, and the struggle between the two made the car unstable. Qi An couldn't stand it anymore and stopped her.

But the atmosphere in the other cars was pretty good. Zhuang Xiao whistled, "Our captain's tactics are awesome! Those bugs only deserve to eat our exhaust fumes!"

Tang Long smiled and agreed: "Definitely!"

Li Yi, sitting in the back seat, let out a cold laugh.

Zhuang Xiao turned around angrily, actually a little afraid of this person, but still mustered up her courage and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Do you feel safe now?" Li Yi asked in return.

Zhuang Xiao was slightly taken aback. At the same time, Qi An, who had finally gotten some peace and quiet in the lead car, reported to Yu Shuang via the public channel:

"There are more ahead. My drone has captured another wave of insects coming from different directions. This wave is stopped on the road, seemingly observing."

Qin Tianshuo's voice was somewhat heavy and irritable: "Why do I feel like these insects are communicating with each other?"

"It's too densely packed. Maybe even those groups from Jade Pear Village are just small outposts in the surrounding area. They actually have a massive core outpost!"

Qi An took off the drone headset and handed it to Sun Yiran, then studied the map on the tablet:

"We'll be passing through a county town soon. We won't go through the town itself, but we'll go around it from the outskirts."
