Chapter 245 Mission and Teammates 1

Lan Ximeng came to the opposite side of the mission building, which was a points redemption mall.

There were quite a few students inside picking out items.

The mission hasn't officially started yet, so these people should have prepaid points in advance.

Lan Ximeng did not go in, but sat down on the lounge chair in front of the door.

While entering the information, Lan Ximeng and her teammates were pulled into a group chat.

The notification bar of the chat group reads "Nicknames will be uniformly changed to school name-major-name."

After changing her group nickname, Lan Ximeng posted a "Hello everyone" cat emoticon on it.

Not long after, the other five people posted similar emoticons in the group.

Tianquan Star Military Defense University-Special Operations Department-Lan Ximeng: Hello everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time.

Tianquan Star Military Defense University - Long-Range Combat Department - Ma Qianqian: I just arrived today too.

Tianquan Star Military Defense University - Command Department - Niu Lai: It’s okay, we are all from the same school. Now that we are all gathered together, we should meet up.

Tianquanxing Military Defense University - Command Department - Niu Lai: Everyone, let's gather at the exchange building opposite the school's mission building.

Tianquan Star Military Defense University-Long-Range Combat Department-Ma Qianqian: Received!

Tianquan Star Military Defense University-Special Operations Department-Lan Ximeng: Received!

Tianquan Star Military Defense University - Mecha Department - Ding Xiahe: Received!

Tianquanxing Military Defense University-Logistics Department-Chu Dongyi: Received!

Tianquan Star Military Defense University-Close Combat Department-Li Fan: Received!

After seeing this series of “received”, Lan Ximeng realized that the team she was assigned to was full of people from her school.

"I wonder if there is any work of ours here." Lan Ximeng turned off the computer and opened the survival manual of the planet Laka that she had obtained earlier.

The first page of this manual records the history of the planet Raqqa in detail.

From the rampage of interstellar pirates to the heroic rescue of the soldiers, and then to the gradual control of the planet by humans, every word is full of traces of battle and the tenacity of life.

Lan Ximeng quickly browsed through a page and then turned to the second page - this was a map of the planet Laka.

She lightly pressed the scan button on the map, and the detailed information of the map was instantly scanned onto the optical computer.

The next moment, the three-dimensional topographic map of the planet Laka appeared clearly in front of her.

Lan Ximeng looked at the map carefully, and the overall picture of the planet gradually became clear in her mind.

The planet Laka is a world full of wilderness. The vast wilderness covers most of the planet's surface. Vegetation grows wildly, lush but disorderly.

Lan Ximeng gently slid the map on the computer.

The rugged mountains stretch across the surface of the planet like the back of a giant dragon; the vegetation in the vast wilderness is in disarray, like an endless green ocean; the broken plains are covered with rocks and cracks, appearing fragmented; and those mysterious swamps are like huge black spots, exuding a suffocating breath.

When these landforms are combined together, it doesn't look like a planet suitable for human habitation at all.

She raised an eyebrow and turned to the next page.

The manual focuses on describing the climate and time information of the planet Laka.

Lan Ximeng's eyes fell on a line of words: "One day on Laka is equivalent to three days on Tianquan." She couldn't help but frowned. This information reminded her of similar content mentioned in the illusion, but it seemed to be five days at that time.

"When the sun is at its highest point, the surface temperature soars to 68 degrees Celsius."

"At night, the temperature drops dramatically, down to -50 degrees Celsius."

This is similar to the one in the fantasy.

The remaining pages are devoted to describing the various weather and geological disasters on the planet Raqqa.

Lan Ximeng took a quick look at it and put the manual in her hand back into the space.

An hour has passed since we arrived at this planet.

It is now twelve o'clock noon on Tianquan Star.

Lan Ximeng touched her hungry stomach and wondered if they would have a meal together after the gathering.

After thinking about it, Lan Ximeng decided that she didn’t want to be hungry, so she drank a nutritional supplement to fill her stomach.

She clicked on the computer and saw the locations of several teammates, who were not far away from her.

"Xiao Meng!"

Hearing someone calling, Lan Ximeng looked up and saw Zhou Miao and others from the opposite side.

Lan Ximeng stood up and watched them crossing the street.

"Where are you going now?"

Zhou Miao pointed to the people standing behind him and said, "I have already gathered with my teammates and am going to the exchange building to see if there is anything I need."

Following the direction Zhou Miao pointed, Lan Ximeng saw that there were quite a few strangers behind them.

The school badges on their uniforms are all different, indicating that they are students from different schools.

"Why did you gather so quickly?" Lan Ximeng's teammates would not arrive for a few minutes.

"They have been gathered together waiting for me." Zhou Miao looked embarrassed and said to Lan Ximeng with a smile: "I will go in with my teammates first."

Lan Ximeng nodded, "Go ahead."

Sitting back in her previous seat, Lan Ximeng looked at the people walking around on the street.

There are not many people dressed as refugees that I saw when I first entered the base now.

Now walking on the streets are students and patrol teams.

Feeling a little bored, she turned on her computer and started sending messages to her family.

Lan Ximeng: I’ve arrived at the assessment point.

Lan Guoqiang: Be careful and don’t be too aggressive.

Chen Chuntao: Don’t get hurt.

Lan Ximeng: Got it.

During the chat, Lan Ximeng's teammates came over one after another.

A tall and thin boy with a middle-parted hair walked not far from Lan Ximeng, leaned forward slightly, and blocked the sun.

Lan Ximeng looked up and made eye contact with the boy.

The boy grinned, his small eyes curved into a smile, revealing a row of neat teeth. "Hello, I'm Niu Lai from the Command Department." The boy's voice was gentle and polite.

When Lan Ximeng heard the name, she immediately realized that this was her teammate.

She quickly put away the laptop and replied with a smile: "Hello, I am Lan Ximeng from the Special Operations Department."

"I know you. Alice and I are in the same class." Niu Lai explained.

He often saw Alice and Lan Ximeng eating together, and after so many times he memorized Lan Ximeng's face.

"Ah, really?" Lan Ximeng didn't have any impression of this boy, but she still smiled and responded, "What a coincidence."

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward and the two chatted awkwardly for a few sentences.

Not long after, the other four also arrived. Lan Ximeng and Niu Lai both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's not stand here. Let's find a place to sit and discuss our mission together." Ma Xixi, who had short hair, said with a smile. She pointed to one side and said, "I found a good place here before. Shall we go?"

The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"The place I found is a snack bar. You can use federal coins to make purchases there now, but you won't be able to do so once the mission starts tomorrow." Ma Xixi led the way while introducing the place she was going to take everyone.

The six people came to a shop called "Auntie Zhang's Snack Bar".

The shop was not big, with only six tables inside. Each table was filled with soldiers, who must have just finished their shift and were taking a break.

As soon as Ma Xixi entered the door, she shouted, "Boss! A table for six, please!"

"Okay, this way." The boss was a thin middle-aged woman with patched clothes, but she looked very energetic.

She enthusiastically led the six people to the second floor. They didn't expect that such a small shop had a second floor.

The second floor was also filled with tables. Just as a table of guests had just left, Lan Ximeng and the others had a place to sit down.

"Although this place is small, the food is pretty good." After sitting down, Ma Xixi looked around and said to everyone, "We can eat something here first and discuss the mission by the way."
