After delivering the items to the other stores, Fang Xiyue went directly to the shop with her father and met with each of her family members.

Then Fang Xiyue set off to the university town to install network equipment and utilities, and also to deliver the crystal coin exchange machine that Battalion Commander Lu had ordered.

It's been delayed for so long, it's time to send it over.

Of course, what she wanted to know more about was whether the military would give her a second mission.

Fang Xiyue drove to the commercial street first. Fang Xiyue originally thought that the commercial street would be deserted at this time, with no one shopping at all.

Surprisingly, it was quite lively. The people buying things were none other than survivors from Xiuli Star City.

This commercial street is not far from Xiuli Star City, only a 15-20 minute walk away.

This commercial street is one of the routes that people must take to get back to the Xiulixingcheng residential area from outside.

These survivors who came to shop were all survivor squads who had previously followed the military on missions.

When they returned, they found that the place had opened for business and had all kinds of shops.

Survivor teams that go out on missions generally don't lack crystals.

When they collect supplies at the end of their mission, they definitely take valuable items like food and drinks.

They try not to take anything that isn't very valuable, but some things are actually very useful, like toilet paper.

Fang Xiyue looked around and saw that everyone was adapting very well. Even Dandan and Sister Xiu were busy in their two shops, so she didn't go in to disturb them.

Fang Xiyue drove directly to the university town and installed the network device produced by the system on the existing network base station next to the university town.

Fang Xiyue's device now has internet access, allowing her to chat via voice input with other friends who have also paid for internet access.

However, no one has paid their internet fees yet, so the test cannot be conducted.

Fang Xiyue entered the university town without any hindrance and then went to Battalion Commander Lu's office.

However, before he could even go inside, he heard the sound of two people arguing coming from Battalion Commander Lu's office.

Since there were people inside, she decided to wait outside for a while and sat down on a bench outside.

Although he didn't specifically listen to the conversation inside, the sound was so loud that he heard every single word.

"They promised us 1 million yuan, and that they would provide the plane fuel and other necessities. Why are they saying they won't provide them now? How are we supposed to pick up people if they don't provide them?"

Battalion Commander Zhao's voice was so loud it could shatter the office; he was truly furious.

Their camp has a total of 270 people, and he plans to send 200 people to pick up the people. Each person can get 5,000 crystal coins, which is not much.

It was agreed at the time that they would only provide manpower, and everything else needed would be provided by the higher-ups.

Today he came to ask for a plane and a pilot, but he was stopped by Battalion Commander Lu.

Battalion Commander Zhao strongly suspected that Battalion Commander Lu was settling a personal score and was deliberately obstructing him.

"It's not that I don't want to approve it for you, it's just that we can't provide it either. Look, this is all the fuel details we've collected."

If it's approved, then basically all of these will be approved for you, and then the planes will become just decorations, right?

Do you think our leaders should be made to drive to other cities if they want to go?

"Besides, it was initially agreed that only a portion would be provided, and the extra cost would be borne by you. Now, this is all that can be provided; if you want more, you'll have to pay with crystal coins."

Battalion Commander Lu was also aggrieved, as he had already submitted Battalion Commander Zhao's review form.

He also mentioned that Fang Xiyue said it would cost 24 million crystals to accept Mission Two.

Then the approval form was returned. 24 million crystals and resources worth more than 300 million—everyone knows how to choose.

Commander Zhang has already signed off on both missions to the Peak Squad, and is just waiting for Fang Xiyue to come back and sign them.

"So you mean I'm being blocked by those above?"

Battalion Commander Zhao was furious. He had been promised to do the mission, so why did he go back on his word?

"It's not that the higher-ups are making things difficult for you, it's just that your trip consumed too many resources."

These are all non-renewable resources, and there is no way to restore their supply in the short term.

We had no choice; if there were better options, of course we'd choose the one with lower costs.

Besides, with 200 of you going on a mission, the food and drink expenses for the round trip will be quite substantial.

Battalion Commander Lu sat there patiently explaining the situation, saying it wasn't like he was stopping Battalion Commander Zhao from going.

Ever since he became the battalion commander and took charge of all supplies, he has been arguing with people several times a day.

Now he can face all the 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' with a calm mind.

Of course, they were all talking about the issue, not the person; they just wanted to apply for more supplies for their soldiers.

"How could there possibly be a cheaper solution? Asking for 1 million is practically like working for free!"

Battalion Commander Zhao is right. For such a dangerous mission, only 5,000 crystal coins per person is practically free work.

Because this mission is of unknown duration and is accompanied by immense danger.

They can earn these crystals by doing tasks locally, and the risk is lower.

They wouldn't have taken on this mission if they weren't soldiers with their own beliefs and principles.

"Well, the 1 million you asked for isn't much, but you're asking for too many resources. We have a second option."

They only want 24 million crystal coins. They don't need us to provide airplanes, resources, or even meals.

"All it takes is 24 million crystal coins. So, should we choose her or you?"
