"Oh my god, I was just promoted from the 11th Regiment to the 9th Regiment last year, and now they're telling me the 11th Regiment has formed a combat readiness group? Is it too late for me to go back now?"

The 11th Regiment actually has a combat readiness group! After all, combat readiness groups are only found in the top five regiments. I never expected that the 11th Regiment, which has always served as the logistics and reserve force, would suddenly be promoted to a combat readiness group.

The soldiers who had gone through so much trouble to get out of the 11th Regiment were almost in tears.

As long as you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and take on missions, you will have the chance to level up and increase your rank. Only by making military contributions can you escape the tragic fate of being just a lowly soldier for the rest of your life.

As soon as the day passed, the 11th Regiment became a hot commodity.

In addition, Frant Paya, a member of the group, donated a total of 173 rare black crystals to the group!

With so many black crystals, the battle armor of the 11th Regiment, which had been unable to be deployed due to insufficient power, was instantly injected with new vitality. Without any other modifications, it gained super endurance, super mental combat power, and full fuel power. There was no longer any need to worry about running out of fuel midway and wasting time supplying fuel!

"Those black crystals are real!!"

The members of Team 1, Regiment 3 were so regretful they wanted to bang their heads against the wall.

Watching helplessly as the 11th Regiment's land, sea, and air armor were upgraded simultaneously, more than a hundred black crystals directly transformed the once weakest 11th Regiment into the top-tier force and equipment of the Alliance Legion!

"These black crystals should have been ours!"

Even though the team members were intimidated by Ling Xiao, they still couldn't help but complain.

"I wanted to keep digging! But now I'm just watching so many black crystals go into other people's pockets!"

Ling Xiao sat to the side with a tense face and remained silent. Although she didn't speak, her expression was cold and repressed, and no one dared to go up to her and provoke her.

But the thought of the readily available black crystal made him feel like a million ants were crawling all over him.

After all, those are treasures you can pick up just by bending down! Each one is priceless! One can increase the mech's endurance and greatly improve the win rate in battle!

At this moment, the group leader walked over, and everyone immediately stood up and withdrew, sensibly leaving the two of them alone.

After everyone left, Ling Xiao, who had always been cold and stubborn, finally took off her mask. As she slowly raised her head, two lines of tears fell from her cheeks.

"I was tricked by her."

Ares felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he saw the wronged and stubborn expression on his beloved woman's face.

I will get justice for you.

"Frant Paya, she came for me. Although I don't know what grudge I have against her, she is hostile towards me."

Seeing that they were in trouble, I wanted to help them, but when I woke up again, I was left on the shore of a swamp with nothing on me.

Although I don't know exactly how she did it, that woman was definitely after me.

Ling Xiao spoke very quickly, her voice trembling.

"You still have me, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. I just didn't expect to be tricked by such a nobody. Her background is not simple. She is definitely not an ordinary person from Little Blue Star."

Find out more about her background for me, and also, I want her dead.

I won't let this go until she's dead.

Ares stepped forward and embraced her, holding her protectively in his arms, his voice gentle yet cruel.

"Fine, since you want her dead, then she is doomed."

No one in this world can bully you, not even me.

"Also, go and find out why there are so many black crystals in the rainforest. Is the commander deliberately suppressing us?"

Ares stroked her hair and whispered.

"I've already asked around about this. This isn't your problem. Anyone would think that woman is deliberately causing trouble."

However, this time the division commander deliberately sent people to bury black crystals in the rainforest to test your ability to distinguish them.

Because there are so many, many people would think they're fake even if they saw them. That Peiya was just lucky; don't overthink it.

Ling Xiao remained silent, lost in thought. The sense of crisis and pressure emanating from Frant Peya grew stronger and stronger, to the point that she could not eat or sleep.

In this situation, she would do anything to solve the problem, even if it meant going without food, drink, or sleep.

"Frant Paya will be participating in the Zerg extermination campaign soon, and I must take this opportunity to kill her."

"Leave this to me, don't get your hands dirty."

"No, I want to do it myself. I want to watch her die in front of me."

At that moment, Jin Shu, who was undergoing stress training in the training room, suddenly sneezed.

This was quite rare for her, given that she was now as strong as an ox and wouldn't sneeze for no reason.

I suspect someone is plotting against her again.

As for who this person was, Jin Shu knew very well.

She never took such things to heart. Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless people have tried to take advantage of her. If she had been trembling with fear and anxiety every time, she would have been scared to death by now.

These are all minor matters; we can't let them interfere with her training.

Her current record in the space simulator has exceeded six hours.

His mental strength level has also broken through to S level, and is only one step away from SS level.

As she endured the pressure of the space capsule for longer periods, the space available for enhancing her mental strength during periods of stillness became smaller and smaller.

The training was too slow, so Jin Shu decisively chose another training method: gravity chamber pressurization training.

Three thousand kilograms, five thousand kilograms, eight thousand kilograms...

She took on the challenge one by one. Although this method was twice as painful and made it extremely easy to be crushed into a pile of minced meat, the effect was quite good. When the gravity approached 9,000 kilograms, Jin Shu could feel that the flesh and blood all over her body were about to be squeezed to burst. This feeling of being on the verge of destruction was the best, because mental strength often surges with the edge of destruction.

And so, overnight, Jin Shu's mental strength successfully broke through to the SS level.

Even though she hadn't slept all night, she was still full of energy as she followed the team leader to select the mechs to wipe out the Zerg.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the armory, the white-haired man guarding the door slowly rose, opened the door, and quietly glanced at Jin Shu.

Jin Shu was also looking at him.

The man in front of her had the exact same eyes as the original owner of this body; even a stranger would be able to recognize their father-daughter relationship at a glance.

When Jin Shu saw him, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Commander, this must be the young hero of the 11th Regiment. He's truly living up to his reputation."

The regimental commander was quite polite to him, after all, they were comrades-in-arms back then.

"Peiya, this is Jin Yao, Commander Jin, our former heroic commander of the 11th Regiment." (End of Chapter)
