Chapter 384 (Catching Bugs)
What is Yunmian like at the age of eighteen?
The expeditionary forces who have not seen her fight would answer: She is confident and cheerful, like a small flower blooming freely in the sun. No one can see any shadow in her that does not belong to her, and she seems to have never experienced any setbacks.
But the expeditionaries who later saw her fight swallowed all their previous answers after the wars with the alien beasts.
Sharp and decisive, she is the sharpest sword and the most ferocious artillery fire. She seems to be born to be on this battlefield, born... to bear the heavy responsibility of protecting this star field.
It's not just her, the entire Guardian team gives others a different feeling when fighting.
They seemed to have been looking forward to this day for a very long time. Even though they were all soldiers, it was obvious that the energy in their bones was completely different.
The huge difference can be seen the moment you rush to the battlefield and kill the first alien beast.
Yunmian and Ningsang are the two most different people in the Guardian team.
The Guardian Squad gradually became famous among the expeditionary forces, among the border troops in every star field, and among the star people they protected.
But that year, Yunmian, the youngest member of the Guardian team, was only 18 years old, and the other four were only 19 years old.
"Mianmian, give it to me!"
Someone threw something over from a distance. Yun Mian subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the moment she raised her eyes, she reached out and caught it steadily.
It was a tooth of a strange beast that had been polished smooth.
It was also the tooth of the first A-level alien beast she killed after arriving at the border.
The girl in combat uniform casually put the polished fang on her wrist, then raised it and waved it at the other party, thanking him: "I will come to you next time I kill an S-level monster!"
The craftsmanship of this expeditionary soldier was well-known throughout the team. He smiled happily upon hearing this: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you then."
He knew that with the growing strength of Yunmian and the Guardian Team, this day would not be too far away.
After Yunmian made an appointment with him for future S-level handicrafts, she turned around and walked towards the cafeteria with her teammates.
The food for the expeditionary army is countless times better than that in school. It may be because there is no entertainment at the border, or it may be because the border is too difficult and barren. So in terms of food, the entire star region will give priority to supplying various troops at the border. They can't say that they can eat fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables immediately, but the dishes in the cafeteria are fresh and rich enough every day.
Except when going to the battlefield, there is basically no need to drink nutrient solution to fill the stomach at other times, and even the nutrient solution is the one with the best taste.
"We may have to go to another border star in a while." After dinner, Huo Chuyi told everyone what he had found out.
Facing the surprised eyes of his teammates, he was also a little worried: "I heard that the border planet of A9 star field encountered a large-scale attack by alien beasts, and even SS-level alien beasts appeared. The losses there were very heavy. The Federation is mobilizing enough personnel to fill the vacancies on the border. The new recruits... will also go to the battlefield in advance, and there will be no more time for training and transition."
He was not worried about leaving Xuanji Star, where he had only stayed for four months, but was worried about the current situation in the A9 star field, the SS-level alien beasts, and the large-scale alien beast waves that kept attacking the border. He didn't know what had happened to the border troops who were originally stationed there and the residents of the planet behind the border.
"Mianmian, is your mother...stationed in the A9 star field?" Ning Sang stopped and looked at Yunmian.
Yun Mian subconsciously clenched the hard animal fang that had fallen on her wrist, and nodded calmly after hearing this: "Well, when my mother calls me again, I'll ask her what's going on over there."
Their parents were not stationed on the same star border, and their military ranks and responsibilities were different, but over the years, the five children had become familiar with each other's families.
They are teammates, friends, and family members who trust and rely on each other.
Now that they know what happened to A9 star, they also start to worry about Yunmian's mother and hope that she will be safe.
Yun Mian was not too panicked. She trusted her mother's strength very much. Even if it was... an SS-level monster, it would be difficult to keep her mother.
But she would still wake up from a bloody dream at night, and would still be more fierce than usual when fighting against strange beasts during the day.
Driving the silver-white mecha, Yun Mian raised her lightsaber and cut off the head of a C-level mantis monster that pounced towards her. Then she shook off the blood dripping from the tip of the sword and looked up again. No low-level monsters dared to approach her.
In just four months, even those low-level monsters with a little intelligence knew that there was a new evil star on the battlefield that was not to be trifled with.
That silvery-white stream of light was not only the envy of the expeditionary border troops, but also the object of worship for the remaining inhabitants of the planet, and even more so the target of fear and hatred for the alien beasts.
Not far away, Jiang Yi occupied a small piece of airspace. Under the artillery fire, those low-level flying beasts that also flapped their wings to occupy the airspace and attack the soldiers below also died in large numbers. The scorching flames would even burn their corpses into a handful of ashes.
Ning Sang never uses auxiliary skills on her teammates on the battlefield, but she still holds auxiliary weapons. Every unconverted energy repair bullet will fall on the flesh and blood of the monsters. It seems wasteful, but in fact... the place where she is is always the area where the monsters die most tragically.
Huo Chuyi's stealth mecha is the sharpest blade for reaping the lives of alien beasts. He is an intangible and invisible stream of light on the battlefield, and the scythe of death that makes the alien beasts fall down in a daze until they die. Unless the blood of the alien beasts dyes his mecha completely red, no one can find out in which corner of the battlefield he is hiding with the scythe of death to send a death invitation to the alien beasts.
Tang Paopao's tank armor could never do the work of a tank armor on the battlefield. Relying on his heavy shield, he liked to rush into the group of alien beasts like a savage bull, squeezing out more areas convenient for fighting for his comrades in the rear, and then using his heavy tank armor to attack those light and flexible alien beasts. It would be a profit if he knocked one down, and it would be a profit if he killed one.
Yun Mian's eyes would occasionally sweep over her teammates on the battlefield, and her teammates would always turn their heads to pay attention to her. They were each other's shield and spear, and would always fill in each other's gaps that inadvertently appeared on the battlefield.
"Uncle, does my mother have teammates?" Yun Mian raised the thrusters of the mecha and flew towards the low-level monsters that were avoiding him. The blood-stained lightsaber in his hand could play a better role on the battlefield than guns and cannons.
"No." The system answered without hesitation and sighed: "Your mother's teammates have been separated for a long time, and two of them died in the alien beast tide at the border a long time ago. Her mecha and spirit body are her best companions."
Most of those who can allow their spiritual bodies to leave the spiritual sea and enter the battlefield to fight are peerless geniuses, such as Yun Yijin, who can drive an S-class mecha and do multiple things at the same time.
She was not even afraid of her own spirit body getting hurt, and let her spirit body take the place of her teammates behind her.
But why would she want to do that?
If I hadn't been forced...
"What happened to my mother in the original world line?" Yun Mian asked calmly, as if she was asking someone unimportant.
But when the system saw her calmly killing the strange beast, it felt a little fear for the first time and did not dare to answer for a long time.
How to tell Mianmian that her mother will die in the sneak attack of the suddenly appearing SS monster?
But it forgets that often not answering is already the most accurate answer.
Yun Mian pursed her lips tightly, with a fierce murderous intent brewing in her eyes.
The sword in her hand seemed to become even more bloodthirsty and sharp, and she killed all the strange beasts around her without leaving a single one alive.
The corpses of strange beasts piled up like a mountain. Yun Mian stood on the soft open space stained with blood. When she looked up, she saw the fearful and terrified eyes of those low-level strange beasts, and their fearful retreating steps.
But Yunmian remained calm.
She rationally let the system collect information about the war in the A9 star field, especially the information about the SS-level monster, and calmly analyzed the possibility of the new expeditionary force going to the battlefield there.
At the same time, she no longer went deeper into the group of strange beasts, but obeyed the orders of her superiors, leaving behind a mess of corpses, and drove the mecha to retreat carefully.
After leaving the battlefield, Yun Mian and his teammates were preparing to go together to wash and change their sweat-soaked combat uniforms, but they received the assembly order from their superior.
The five people looked at each other and knew that what Huo Chuyi had said the day before yesterday would probably be settled today and have the final result.
In fact, this is true. These new recruits who have just arrived at Xuanji Star for four months will support the A9 star field together with the veterans and several border troops here.
"You will be given one hour to make post-war arrangements and wartime preparations. The warship will depart in one hour."
One hour is already a sufficient amount of time, and it can be seen from this that the situation in the A9 star field should not have reached the most critical moment yet.
Yunmian, who hadn't received any communication from her mother for two consecutive days, felt a little relieved.
Before leaving, the five members of the Guardian Squad also said goodbye to the border troops they had known before and who had been stationed here. As new recruits, they received a lot of help from the military and civilians here on Xuanji Star. Everyone took good care of them whether they were on the battlefield or resting out.
Now we have to part suddenly, and perhaps we will never have the chance to see each other again.
The battlefield... is always the place where separations of life and death are the most frequent and the most unpredictable. No one can guarantee that they will be able to return alive from the battlefield.
"When you go to the A9 border planet, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to be patient. If you find good materials, send them back and I will make them for you. If you encounter danger, don't rush forward rashly. You only have one life, and you are still so young. You must know how to cherish it, understand?"
The old soldier who had helped make animal teeth before gave Yunmian earnest instructions.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his face full of worry about the children's long journey. He was afraid that Yunmian and the other children would be wronged, suffer losses and endure hardships in places where he couldn't see them.
Yun Mian just nodded obediently the whole time, not at all showing the high-spirited and arrogant look of a young man on the battlefield. She was so obedient that people were even more worried that she would suffer a loss and be bullied.
"Don't worry, I'm very fierce!" Yun Mian said seriously, but his eyes curved into crescents, and his whole body seemed to be full of harmlessness.
"Anyway, remember what I said." The old soldier said with a serious face, "Your life is more valuable than a hundred A-level beasts. Don't take it lightly. We are the ones who left Xuanji Star and we can't let others bully us. If someone really bullies you, report it to us. Even if we are across the star field, we will definitely rush over to support you!"
"I'll remember that!" Yun Mian nodded with a smile on her face, "If I'm wronged, I'll definitely complain to you!"
"Goodbye then. Live well. In the future, I will depend on you to process my S-level exotic beast materials."
"...Okay, let's all live well."
Good night, babies~
