Chapter 7 was eliminated right after it was completed.
The three men dodged the shots in a very shady manner, clearly demonstrating their coordinated actions and the tacit understanding honed from frequent combat.
The fourth shell fired a blank, and the cannons ran out. Lin Xiu and Zhou Jiu switched positions in an instant. Zhou Jiu took up a machete and led the way, fighting alongside Sun You.
"Letting a commander do it personally means that she and Lin Xiu aren't capable enough," Zhou Jiu thought to herself as she rapidly changed commands. As she gradually became more familiar with the mecha, Zhou Jiu regained the feeling of using the scavenging mecha. She started handling one mecha by herself, giving Sun You time to observe the overall situation and command the other mechas. Whoever seizes the initiative first will have the command. This was Sun You's chance.
Xiao Wen zoomed in on the military logistics area, a hint of surprise on his face. "Military First Division has students like this? Their mech operation is very smooth, and such postures actually require a high level of skill in mech operation commands, unlike second-year students." In fact, Xiao Wen had already spotted who it was.
Ye Yang's operation was more accurate and concise, which Xiao Wen appreciated. He had performed exceptionally well during the summer camp, but he didn't say this to the instructors from the other military regions.
“They are the three freshmen from Star E who escaped the trap of the Comprehensive University on their own,” Liu Shan said to Xiao Wen.
The group's gazes turned to the instructors from the United Nations University. As everyone knows, Star E is a newly administered area of the Third Military Region.
“Our Third Military Region will not restrict the rights of every citizen. If possible, we would certainly like them to enter our General Assembly, but if they wish to be in the First Military Region, we cannot disregard human rights. What do you think?” Officer El of the Third Military Region said with a smile.
"Yes, they performed really well. If they perform exceptionally well upon graduation, my Second Military Region will invite a few of them to the First Military Region."
"No need," Xiao Wen said politely. "Our students from the First Military Academy will receive better futures and resources from the First Military Region after graduation."
The group laughed it off, and the topic was over. Xiao Wen had achieved his goal and switched the monitor interface. However, there was one particularly outstanding freshman whose gaze did not linger for long. But what this implied was something only they knew.
The sparse group had already emerged. Zhou Jiu led the way, tossing a copper coin to confirm a direction. "Let's go, classmates, let's ambush each other and regroup at headquarters."
As Zhou Jiugang watched the second copper coin fall through the gap, before he could say anything, the word "eliminated" appeared on everyone's screen.
"The headquarters has been taken down."
Xiao Wen still had a smile on his face, but Liu Shan, who knew him well, knew that Xiao Wen was very angry.
After the group exited the mecha, Zhou Jiu pulled out her copper coins from the mecha and slowly walked out as well.
"This is terrible. The army has lost. Our new recruit training is going to be tough." Zhang Ji leaned close to Zhou Jiu and sighed softly.
“But I think Instructor Xiao will deal with you first,” Zhang said to Zhou Jiu in a low voice. He was a clear troublemaker, the kind of student the instructor loved to discipline.
"I'm behaving myself, why are you punishing me? If I lose, I'll still be easy prey for Da Er." Zhou Jiu muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jiu heard Sun You cough. Taking Sun You's hint, he said, "The United University and the Comprehensive University are really insidious. They actually cooperated to attack us. The senior students in the second year must have worked really hard."
"No need to say anything more, we've already heard it. We hope the new recruits have a smooth orientation," a senior student said expressionlessly.
"Junior, what's your name?" Another senior asked, his voice tinged with anger. He was being pressed down on the shoulder by another senior, and it was clear that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
"My name is Lin Xiu, Lin as in double wood, and Xiu as in ornament."
"What?"
Seeing that the other party did not understand, Zhou Jiu did not speak in words, but said again: "Mecha operation major, Lin Xiu, the Xiu of repair."
"See you at our academy's mecha competition." After saying that, the group walked forward.
Seeing that the others hadn't followed, the expressionless senior student said, "Lin Xiu, aren't you coming?"
Real Lin Xiu was clearly used to it and didn't move next to Sun You. Fake Lin Xiu nodded to Zhou Jiu, then walked to the senior's side and said with a smile, "Senior, what's your name?"
"Dora".
"Senior Dora, how long will our new recruit training last? When does it start?" Zhou Jiu asked with a grin.
Dora looked at Zhou Jiu questioningly before saying, "Lin Xiu, you're really shameless."
Zhen Linxiu's face stiffened. Zhang Ji looked at Zhou Jiu, who showed no signs of lying, and asked Linxiu, "Has she never been beaten like this before?"
Sun You smiled, as if he had remembered something funny.
Lin Xiu's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "The rumors have spread, and then all the sophomores will know it's Lin Xiu. In the military academy's mecha virtual machine, everyone uses their real name and can't use an alias. In the end, I'll be the one who suffers."
"Then why didn't you expose it?" Zhang Ji asked curiously.
Lin Xiu wanted to roll his eyes, but remained silent.
Sun You chuckled, "This is their fun."
"Brother and sister?"
“It’s like a sibling relationship.” Sun You recalled what Lin Xiu had told her before. “Zhou Jiu recognized Lin Xiu as his older brother when he was in elementary school. He kept fooling Lin Xiu for a long time and did a lot of things. Lin Xiu took the blame for a long time. But actually, Zhou Jiu is a month older than Lin Xiu by his birthday. But maybe because he was used to it, Lin Xiu always felt that he was older than Zhou Jiu and treated himself as the older brother.”
Lin Xiu looked at Sun You without speaking. Actually, it wasn't like that. He and Zhou Jiu were children kidnapped together on a starship seven years ago. Because the starship was attacked by alien beasts, they suffered an accident, and their mental energy was damaged, resulting in memory loss. The E-Star rescue team believed the memory loss was caused by mental energy disorder. Although he didn't quite believe it, no family came to pick him up afterward, and his chip was damaged. He only knew his name was Lin Xiu; he couldn't remember anything else.
After that, he and Zhou Jiu stayed in the same orphanage, went to school together, and were forced to join the Volunteer Army. Later, they met another comrade, Sun You, in the Volunteer Army. Because of their suspicions about the starship accident, he and Zhou Jiu never told anyone about it.
Zhou Jiu, unaware of Lin Xiu's thoughts, would surely say, "You guessed right," if she knew his intentions. Initially, they were all exchange students sent from Ancient Blue Star. However, due to the presence of those within the Central Star who were unwilling to allow Ancient Blue Star to enter their territory, their plans were nipped in the bud. Furthermore, a master of mental power artificially hypnotized their memories. If it weren't for her connection to the divination body, and the fact that seeing the copper coins gradually and slowly destroyed the memory barrier constructed for her by the master of mental power as her mental strength grew, she wouldn't have survived.
On the surface, Senior Dora didn't seem to mind Zhou Jiu saying that their second-year students were mediocre, and she introduced the new recruit training traditions of the military academy to Zhou Jiu.
