Chapter 122 Confrontation

Lily suddenly said, "Take off their clothes."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were a little confused about what the beautiful woman was thinking. What the hell was this about taking off people's clothes casually?

Wen Le understood what she meant immediately and quickly called out to the students in the logistics team: "Come over and take off your clothes." After saying that, he seemed to feel that what he said was a bit inappropriate and quickly explained, "The clothes they are wearing are all genuine combat uniforms. Whoever can wear them later should change their clothes quickly!"

The authentic combat uniforms Wen Le was referring to were purchased through legitimate channels by individuals or organizations. Unlike those sold to ordinary people, these uniforms were custom-made and offered more comprehensive defensive features. These uniforms were typically only manufactured by military factories and not sold to the public, making them practically unavailable to individuals or organizations without sufficient experience.

So, the identities of these people were immediately apparent. Even though their uniforms were disguised, anyone with experience could still spot them. For example, Lily, having a strong mother meant she'd been exposed to these things since she was a child. Her family had everything from the original to the latest versions of uniforms, so she could tell at a glance that these people were wearing the latest models. Even disguises couldn't fool her.

When Wen Le said this, everyone understood immediately, and their eyes looking at the captives became a little meaningful.

Now, everyone knows the identities of these people.

Hello, seniors~

The thought of being able to speak frankly soon made everyone a little excited. In the past, these people relied on their seniority to order them around, calling them rookies. Even though they were indeed rookies, they couldn't be bullied like that, right? Now, there was finally a chance for revenge.

With this in mind, everyone stripped off their clothes without mercy, not giving them any face just because they were seniors. At least they left them with a pair of underwear so they wouldn't actually be naked with everyone else. Mainly because they didn't have any real deep hatred that required such extreme behavior, and stripping them naked would be too unsightly, and everyone was afraid of getting stye.

Qian Mingyu in the monitoring room burst out laughing when he saw this scene: "Now I don't need to say anything when I go back." These little kids, I don't know why they all look so smart, and each generation is smarter than the last. How could they have thought of these things back then? They only knew them after being taught by experienced seniors.

The team leader pointed at Lily and said, "If Wen Le can't give me this girl, you can at least give me this girl, right? I've reserved this girl first."

Qian Mingyu would be a fool to agree right now. He didn't even respond. He deliberately made an embarrassed expression and said, "This girl, I guess it's a bit difficult to deal with."

The corps commander couldn't help but glance at Qian Mingyu, gritting his teeth and saying, "What's wrong with her? Don't tell me she has some unspeakable background." He almost said, "Is the Imperial Capital Military Control so powerful that it's almost astronomical? Are all the people entering there treasures that no one else can touch? If that's the case, why are you still running a military academy? If it can't provide talent for the army, it will close down sooner or later."

Qian Mingyu couldn't help but smile, hearing the subtext in his words. "That's why they say the Ninth Regiment Commander has good taste. He only sees treasures. Take this girl, for example." He pointed at Lily, who was hacking into the base system on the virtual screen. "She's Weiwei's only daughter. Maybe she'll return to inherit the family business after graduation."

The legion commander frowned upon hearing this. "Weiwei? The female leader of the Rose Mercenary Group?" That woman was renowned for her fierce combat record across the interstellar space; calling her a tigress was an overstatement. Such people were also well-known within their system, the kind you didn't fear but didn't want to provoke. Who would have thought this little girl was actually her daughter?

However, Qian Mingyu's next words made him sneer. "Don't be ridiculous! Military academy graduates must serve in the army for at least ten years before they can apply for discharge. You're going back to inherit the family business right after graduation? Are you anxious to move in because the Star Prison is too empty?"

The empire spends so much resources to cultivate talents not to let them come here to gild themselves and go home to inherit the family business after graduation. Qian Mingyu's words are really not very sophisticated. He didn't even find a clever excuse to deal with him.

Qian Mingyu smiled: "You said it was only ten years, time has passed in a flash." I'm just trying to fool you. If you dare, hit me.

The legion commander gnashed his teeth in hatred, knowing he wouldn't be the only one eyeing such a treasure. He'd have to pay a heavy price to secure it. But it was too early to say anything now; there were still four and a half years left. If this girl was truly so exceptional, he'd have to get her at all costs. He also made up his mind: once this exercise was over, he'd have his adjutant keep a close eye on the situation, giving his opponent no chance. Otherwise, by the time he took action four years later, it would be too late.

While they were talking, the students had already changed their clothes. Knowing that they were their seniors and might become comrades in the future, they specially gave them their changed clothes to give them some face so that they could meet again in the future.

Then, as usual, they tied the men up, numbed them, and hid them in a secluded area. They couldn't kill them, and they couldn't hit them either, so this was the only way to deal with them. Of course, to be on the safe side, they removed their computers, fearing someone might use them to locate them. If they were rescued, they would have dozens more opponents, which was a bit overwhelming.

Wen Le and his team had already taken care of the thirty-odd people. Good news came from the other investigation teams: they had also captured someone. Although they had sustained some injuries, they were the victors in the end, so those injuries were nothing. As long as Wen Le went over to help treat them, they would be well again immediately.

…

As Wen Le and his team made gradual progress, Lily also made progress. Although they had not yet captured the base's intelligent computer, they had already hacked into their chat channel and grasped a lot of their dynamics.

The squad leader's face lit up. "Everyone, be careful when you pass through these areas later to avoid an ambush." ​​However, Lily warned him not to blindly trust the chat information, as it could be a deliberate smokescreen to lure them in. The squad leader said he'd already thought of it, but he still had to give it a try. Who knows, there might be something unexpected. If you want to quickly capture the base, you have to take some risks.

Afterwards, they reunited with the reconnaissance team and collected another batch of supplies. With weapons in hand, everyone felt more confident. At least they didn't have to fear direct confrontations like before. After all, no matter how good they were at fighting with their bare hands, they were still flesh and blood, and could not withstand the attacks of these firearms.

Perhaps because they knew this was just an exercise, everyone's original nervousness subsided a lot, and their faces became less anxious. Many people even started talking and laughing. Looking at the posture, those who didn't know would think that everyone was on a day trip to the base.

Seeing this, the squad leader roared at them with a fierce look on his face, "Shut up, everyone! Don't you think we have enough to do?" A bunch of idiots, as if they were afraid the enemy wouldn't notice them. They were still laughing at this hour. Did they really think this was a day trip to the base? Those seniors were no pushovers. They had such a smooth ride because the other side underestimated them. When they realized what was happening, they would be the ones to suffer.

As expected, the squad leader guessed correctly. The enemy's counterattack was swift and fierce. In the first encounter, they lost more than 200 people. More than 900 people were reduced to more than 700 in an instant. The loss was not small.

Now everyone stopped laughing and fully realized the huge gap between them and the other team. When the other team wasn't serious, they could still gain some advantage, but once they were serious, they really couldn't gain any advantage at all. The other team wasn't much better off, having also lost some people, but in comparison, the students suffered the greater losses, which could be said to be a crushing defeat.

Despite the heavy losses, the squad leader felt relieved. He had previously worried his comrades would become overly complacent, but this experience had made them more cautious. This was better than suffering even greater losses and setbacks. It was better than being completely wiped out in the end.

They had already guessed that this was a drill, so the injured students would definitely be fine. At most, they would be eliminated, but their lives would be safe. After all, the school couldn't just watch so many people die. If that were the case, the parents would probably tear the school down.

In this way, although I am still worried about my injured companions, at least I am not as sad as before when I thought they were all sacrificed.

…

After a day and a night of hard work, Lily and her team finally cracked the base's intelligent system. The squad leader was amazed and said, "No way, you really cracked this intelligent system here?" This is incredible. You have to remember that this is the base's intelligent system! When Lily first said she wanted to hack into the system here, although he said he was optimistic about them, he was actually just saying a few words of encouragement to avoid dampening their enthusiasm. He didn't expect them to actually succeed.

This, this, this... I guess those military engineers won't be able to sleep for the next few days. A supposedly bug-free intelligent system was hacked by freshmen at a military academy... It's quite a thrill to think about. Looking down on these students? Calling them clueless noobs? That's a slap in the face, right? Hahahahaha...

Things went smoothly afterwards. Because the base's intelligence system had been hacked, the soldiers playing the villains suddenly had no place to hide. They were all exposed and even trapped. Wen Le and his team only had to go over and harvest their heads like cutting leeks. It was so exciting.
