Qiu Zijun said somewhat embarrassedly, "At that time, I was anxious for them to tell me the whereabouts of my comrades, so I used the rocket launcher to clean the ground first..."

Xia Chujian laughed. "Using a bazooka is a good idea! I never thought that you, Lieutenant Qiu, who looks so gentle and refined, actually suffer from a phobia of insufficient firepower! We have the same problem! We have the same problem!"

Qiu Zijun observed Xia Chujian carefully, and only felt relieved when she was sure that he was really not angry.

Xia Chujian never changed the way she spoke, so Qiu Zijun always thought she was a man.

The three people stood in front of the burnt thatched house. Xia Chujian asked Mao Yonggui to give her the identity plates that had melted into a ball and were difficult to distinguish from each other.

She planned to let Qilu use his incredible forging ability to see if he could restore the various nameplates.

Then bring it back to Beichen Empire and hand it over to the Special Security Bureau.

Qiu Zijun watched Mao Yonggui and the others busying around and asked quietly, "You brought so many genetic evolvers with you?"

Xia Chujian looked down at her: "...How did you know that?"

Her words were actually a question, asking why she came to this conclusion.

But it is also an ambiguous sentence.

As expected, Qiu Zijun understood it in the ambiguous way.

She said: "Those hundreds of mech warriors are proof of this. Ordinary marines cannot wear mechs."

This is the established rule of Starfleet. Everyone thinks so, except Xia Chujian, who disagrees.

She still didn't agree and said, "You guessed wrong. That's my Space Marine."

"On my starship, every marine is equipped with a mecha."

"Also, in the environment of Morisawa Planet, if you don't give ordinary people mechas, do you want them to die?"

Qiu Zijun seemed to have never thought about it from this perspective.

She murmured, "But combat uniforms and military exoskeletons are also radiation-proof... Why do we need mechas?"

Xia Chujian said, "That's a matter of opinion. Besides, can the effectiveness of combat uniforms and military exoskeletons in shielding against radiation be compared to that of a fully protective mecha?"

Qiu Zijun nodded in agreement: "Of course not."

She looked at Xia Chujian calmly and said, "But those space marines have never come into contact with mechas. They won't be able to operate them smoothly in a short period of time."

Xia Chujian asked back: "Have you let them try?"

Qiu Zijun shook her head blankly. "Of course not. In Starfleet, no one would risk violating military discipline by letting Space Marines learn to operate mechas."

Xia Chujian smiled and was about to say that this rule was not clearly stated in military law and discipline.

Because this is just the so-called "unspoken" rule.

If someone else said this, Xia Chujian would definitely retort.

But Qiu Zijun left such a good impression on her that she didn't want to embarrass the girl.

And in Xia Chujian's opinion, Qiu Zijun just wasn't as good at finding fault as she was.

He is serving in the army in an orderly manner, why should she argue with him?

Xia Chujian calmly changed the subject and said, "Second Lieutenant Qiu, what mission are you carrying out on Morisawa Planet?"

Qiu Zijun immediately said, "Catching the longevity flying fish. What about you guys?"

Xia Chujian said, "...same. But we've been here all day and haven't even seen the shadow of the Wanshou Flying Fish."

Qiu Zijun couldn't help but laugh at this moment and said, "I've only been here for a day, there's no need to rush."

"We were lucky enough to catch a longevity flying fish on the second day!"

Xia Chujian seemed very interested in this matter and asked with interest: "Really? How did you catch it? Can you tell me in detail?"

Qiu Zijun spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't know how they caught him."

"I was collecting inspiration from the coral trees at the time and took a lot of photos."

"When we returned to the airship in the evening, they said the mission was complete and we were going back."

"Then I'll go find Sister Zhang and Xiaohui and the others, planning to have them have dinner with me."

"But I can't find them in the lower cabin of the airship..."

"They are not to be found in any compartment of the airship."

"Later, when I asked other people, they said that these Space Marines were ambushed by the Shang people..."

"I begged them to rescue us, but they said there was no need to fight to the death with the Shang people..."

"They won't save you, so I'll do it!"

"So I found a small combat aircraft and sneaked off the airship."

Qiu Zijun continued, "At the time, I just thought this planet wasn't that big, and I should be able to find it after searching for a while."

"As soon as I got out of the airship, it flew away."

“I sent them a message, but no one replied…”

"I made up my mind and thought, if I can't find Sister Zhang and the others, I won't go back!"

"My family members are very concerned about me. Once they find out I'm missing, they will definitely not let it go."

"These people will still have to come and get me when the time comes."

After hearing this, Xia Chujian thought to herself, it turns out this person has someone to rely on.

Her family loves her and will not let her disappear in vain.

In fact, I am the same!

If she suddenly disappeared, not only the people at home, but also her master Su Buyan and her leader Meng Guanghui would not ignore her!

But those Space Marines also have families and friends...

Just because their family members and friends are ordinary people and don’t have as much power as her and Qiu Zijun’s family members and friends, can they be sacrificed in vain?

Xia Chujian suppressed the anger in her heart and asked calmly, "Second Lieutenant Qiu is a kind-hearted person. Who is the person in charge of your military operation this time?"

Qiu Zijun said, "It's Major Rong Zhongruo."
