After the Allied forces were routed, the advance troops that had arrived in the no man's land were left behind.
These people were subjected to fierce attacks from the local forces in the no-man's-land from the very beginning, resulting in heavy casualties. Those who managed to escape found new places to live and started new lives under different identities.
Among them was an intelligence officer who was originally part of the Alliance. Due to his identity, his real name and photo were not available in the Alliance's terminal, so he was not found when Mingyuan was searching for information.
This person is Gu Shibing, the last companion Ye Nianzhen is looking for.
In fact, Ye Nianzhen and Gu Shibing had only known each other for a short time. They met halfway through the previous world. This man was taciturn and, although he was well-mannered, he had an icy demeanor and rarely interacted with others.
Ye Nianzhen was probably the person he communicated with the most.
In this timeline, he is a secret intelligence agent for the Alliance, usually dealing with various forces and planets. Now he has come to the No Man's Land, a place full of danger and mystery.
He originally came here as an intelligence gatherer, but under Ye Nianzhen's command, the people here were already on guard against the Alliance's spies. As a result, he not only failed to gather any intelligence, but also suffered heavy losses. Almost all the outposts who were used as a decoy to bring him here were killed here.
Gu Shibing lost all his companions in the no-man's-land and was all alone in an extremely difficult situation.
He knew he could no longer act as an Alliance intelligence agent, or he would only attract more pursuit.
So he began to live in anonymity, using his wisdom and experience to find new ways to survive in the no-man's-land.
He first found a secluded hiding place, far from the crowds, where he was unlikely to be discovered.
Then, he began to try to make contact with local forces in the no-man's-land, attempting to find resources that he could utilize.
Gu Shibing knew that in this place full of danger and mystery, only by maintaining a delicate balance with various forces could he ensure his safety.
During this process, he gained a better understanding of his mission target, Ye Nianzhen.
Information about Ye Nianzhen is widespread throughout the No Man's Land, and the exile community holds her in high esteem. Her deeds of helping exiles improve their quality of life free of charge and providing treatment to those violent individuals in critical condition are repeatedly mentioned by these former prisoners of the Alliance.
Gu Shibing realized that Ye Nianzhen not only possessed superb medical skills, but also had a compassionate heart.
This stands in stark contrast to the high-ranking members of the alliance who only value interests and power.
He began to think that his years of intelligence work had made it clear to him that the alliance had strayed from its original course and was no longer worth his dedication.
On the surface, the legions act independently, but behind the scenes they seem to have countless connections, and even some unknown deals with certain high-ranking members of the alliance.
The only legion that remained steadfast and maintained its military integrity was the Seventh Legion. Now, this Seventh Legion had betrayed the alliance with Ye Nianzhen, which made Gu Shibing wonder what kind of charm Ye Nianzhen possessed.
Gu Shibing decided to find an opportunity to get close to Ye Nianzhen and get to know this legendary woman personally.
He knew that one could not truly understand a person's heart and true intentions based solely on hearsay.
So he began to plan a chance encounter with Ye Nianzhen.
Through inquiries and observations, Gu Shibing learned that Ye Nianzhen would soon be heading to a desolate, unclaimed land, where a forgotten refugee camp was located, inhabited by many people displaced by war.
Ye Nianzhen would occasionally go there in person to bring them medicine and food, and to treat their injuries and illnesses.
Gu Shibing decided to wait there for Ye Nianzhen to arrive.
When he arrived at the refugee camp, he was deeply shocked by what he saw.
The dilapidated tents, the emaciated children, and the desperate looks in their eyes all strengthened his resolve to make a change.
Finally, on a moonlit night with few stars, Ye Nianzhen arrived at the refugee camp with her medical team.
Gu Shibing watched her from afar, a strange emotion welling up in his heart.
He silently watched Ye Nianzhen's every move, seeing her gently treating the people and patiently listening to their stories. At that moment, he seemed to see the hope and light that the Alliance once had.
Gu Shibing knew he had to make a choice: continue serving the corrupt alliance or follow Ye Nianzhen and embark on a completely new path.
Moreover, he is now trapped in no man's land, and it seems that he doesn't have many options.
He secretly observed Ye Nianzhen for a long time, and when Ye Nianzhen finished her business and was about to leave, he secretly followed behind Ye Nianzhen's group.
Ye Nianzhen left on a small flying chess piece. Gu Shibing had no other means of transportation and could only watch Ye Nianzhen's flying machine take off into the sky, as if flying into the clouds, separated from him by a thick, intangible barrier.
Gu Shibing pondered to himself how he could meet Ye Nianzhen again and secure a chance to speak with her.
He understood that with his identity and abilities, he might be able to contribute to Ye Nianzhen's career and find a true sense of belonging for himself.
In the complex situation of the no man's land, Gu Shibing gradually figured out the movements of various forces by relying on his experience in intelligence work.
Using this information, he cleverly avoided danger while also looking for an opportunity to get close to Ye Nianzhen again.
Finally, on Ye Nianzhen's way to another important location in the No Man's Land, Gu Shibing found a suitable opportunity and created a "chance encounter".
