After Xia Chujian finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

They were mentally prepared, knowing that Chu Qingchen's noble students had betrayed them when they were ambushed by the enemy.

But they never expected that this betrayal had been going on since the beginning of this operation.

Xia Chujian turned off the surveillance video and put away the virtual display screen.

The hall was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Then, everyone started chatting in groups of three or four.

Everyone's face showed a serious and solemn expression.

From the teams of Marines to the student pilots at the base, they were all talking and confirming one thing.

Finally, Mao Yonggui was pushed out by everyone to ask Xia Chujian: "Captain Xia, do you think the military knew about Chu Qingchen's plan?"

"Or was this mission designed from the beginning to send us to our deaths?"

For these soldiers, it is normal to sacrifice due to unexpected situations during war.

Especially for those in the Fifth Star Fleet, they are all mentally prepared for this.

Because no matter how well prepared you are, once you are on the battlefield, the enemy will not fight according to your preparation.

So for them, sacrifice is sacrifice, which is part of the professional requirement of being a soldier.

But they couldn't bear it, and the military sent them to their deaths!

It's one thing to let them die if they can't win, and another to not prepare for a fight at all and just give them to the other side as trophies.

Looking at the suppressed emotions in the crowd, Xia Chujian said frankly, "I really don't know."

"Maybe just a few people are sending us to die for their own selfish interests."

"It may also be that it was indeed a military decision."

"But I don't have enough information to tell what went wrong."

"But what I want to tell you is that because I have already executed Chu Qingchen and his men, there is basically no evidence against them."

"So, for now, let's assume Chu Qingchen and his men are the culprits."

"We have successfully completed the mission and will return to the Beichen Empire with the Wanshou Flying Fish."

"You will have a better future and a better life in the future."

"But I hope you will never forget what happened today."

“Don’t forget how many people are buried here and can never return!”

"Don't forget the original intention of joining the army!"

These people were originally just ordinary space marines, but suddenly they became genetic evolvers. Their future in the army is completely different!

After hearing Xia Chujian's words, they were all silent for a few minutes.

Then they started shouting one by one.

"Captain Xia! I will apply for transfer to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet!"

"I only obey Captain Xia!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

…

At this moment, more than two thousand Space Marines shouted in unison: "...Me too!"

Chen Yansheng said excitedly: "Captain Xia gave us our lives! She also gave us our future! We will never and cannot forget our roots!"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and she felt that they were exaggerating a bit.

But since so many people were full of fighting spirit, she didn't discourage them.

She was very clear that these people might not all truly believe in her at this moment.

But they all need a spiritual pillar to make them believe that this military and this world can still be saved...

What worries Xia Chujian is that she will soon have to go back to fill out her application form and go to college in September.

When these people really apply to be transferred to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, and then find out that they have nothing...

Tsk, I can’t even imagine that scene.

Xia Chujian silently wished her well in her heart, and decided at the same time that if possible, she would join the Fourth Interstellar Fleet after graduating from university!

If the Fourth Star Fleet still wants her then...

Xia Chujian waved to everyone and said, "Now everyone go back and rest. We will leave here immediately to complete the mission!"

After Xia Chujian finished speaking, he returned to his captain's room.

She secretly hid several cups of Blood Kirin Kongsang water, intending to try it herself.

After all, so many people over the age limit have achieved genetic evolution, which has ignited the hope that has been hidden in her heart for a long time.

But she drank a glass and waited for a long time, only to find that nothing happened.

Then I had another drink and waited a while, but still nothing happened.

Finally, he drank up all the remaining fresh blood Qilin boiled mulberry water, but there was still no movement.

She refused to give up and quietly asked Qi Lu, "...Does it require poisoning first and then detoxification before genetic evolution can be achieved?"

Qi Lu's childish voice said clearly, "Master, no! The Blood Qilin doesn't have the ability to evolve genes, only Kongsang has that!"

Xia Chujian was puzzled: "But you also saw that those marines and pilots below, they were all poisoned, and after detoxification, they achieved genetic evolution."

Qi Lu tried to explain this problem from a scientific perspective.

"Master, that little bit of fresh Qilin blood is not enough to detoxify."

"It's because Kong Sang first allowed them to achieve genetic evolution. Their own qualities have undergone a qualitative change, and their gene chains have also mutated and strengthened. Therefore, even if the amount of fresh blood Qilin is insufficient, they can still detoxify."

Xia Chujian: “…”

She hasn't given up yet.

I plan to go back and "bribe" my little dog Si Xi, and ask him to get some mulberry leaves, so that I can try eating fresh mulberry leaves directly.

…

Five interstellar airships quickly took off and headed for the South Pole.
