"This is a bit difficult for us. There are so many people here, and we only have 40 people. How can we possibly bring them all back?"
Gao Qi's face scrunched up like a bun. How many zombies would so many survivors attract by wandering the streets together?
What if they can't bring the people back and their entire army is wiped out?
"Company Commander Lu certainly knew that this matter was a bit difficult for us."
So he proposed sending two companies of soldiers to take over the task of bringing the survivors back, and that we only need to take the factory.
It's likely that Fang Xiyue's tone wasn't very good at the time, and Company Commander Lu sensed it, so he immediately suggested changing the plan.
Fang Xiyue has her own principles for doing things. She will do her best to do what she is willing to do, but no one can force her to do what she is unwilling to do.
She couldn't possibly disregard the safety of everyone on her side for the sake of these 800-plus survivors.
What Fang Xiyue didn't tell everyone was the first plan that Company Commander Lu mentioned, or more accurately, the plan that the higher-ups came up with together.
She was afraid that her other teammates would feel disheartened, so she told them, which was implied as gossiping, since the plan had been changed later. However, she used her mental power to tell Jun Nanxuan.
When the call came in, Company Commander Lu and his team were in a meeting.
After learning about Fang Xiyue's situation, they discussed a plan together, which was then relayed to Fang Xiyue by Company Commander Lu.
The plan is to give 500 crystal coins for each person brought back. That means if these 800+ survivors are brought back, they can get more than 400,000 crystal coins, which means each person can get 10,000 crystal coins on average.
Fang Xiyue got a little angry at that time. It was not worth it for them to risk their lives for 10,000 crystal coins.
Of course, she knew this was the most crystal coins that Company Commander Lu could get, but they could choose not to accept it!
It wasn't that she was disrespecting Company Commander Lu, but rather that the lives of her comrades who had risked their lives alongside her were more important.
She didn't mean to target anyone by making this decision; she was simply unhappy.
After she expressed her unwillingness, someone on the other end said that Fang Xiyue was too arrogant, and Company Commander Lu even had an argument with the other party because of it.
No matter what others say—whether they say she's too arrogant, too cold-blooded, or disobedient—she doesn't care.
She wasn't a regular soldier; she was just a specially appointed staff member. If the military couldn't tolerate her, she could leave with her people!
She directly proposed to leave with her people and not continue the military's mission; making things difficult for people shouldn't be done like this.
However, it was clear that the military was reluctant to let her go, and that person also said that he did not mean to look down on her, and that they had seen everything she had done.
They remember her contributions, but she was a bit careless with her words at the time.
The other party had already apologized, and she wasn't an unreasonable person, so the two sides calmly discussed other solutions afterwards.
In the end, the plan proposed by Company Commander Lu, which involved sending two companies to pick up the people, was chosen.
"Yueyue, don't be angry. If you're unhappy working in the military in the future, we'll leave together."
Jun Nanxuan ruffled Fang Xiyue's hair, indicating that he would always stand by her side.
"Mmm." Fang Xiyue nodded, finding Jun Nanxuan's words quite agreeable.
Zhao Liang used a loudspeaker to tell Zhu Guizhi the solution.
When the employees heard that it was just a matter of moving the cotton mill to a different location, and that they could continue working in the mill in a very safe environment, they all agreed and urged Zhu Guizhi to agree.
Zhu Guizhi immediately agreed; as long as the factory was still hers, changing her position was no big deal.
"In that case, you can wait here for rescue."
This made Fang Xiyue unhappy, so she directly put the cotton mill into her space.
Then, using his wind-based abilities, he swept the survivor through the window and carried him into the safe staff dormitory, all in less than five minutes.
She didn't kill any of the zombies in the courtyard; she left the bus with the Forward Squad and the Multi-Squad, letting them wait there for army support.
She led her elite team of 20 people onto a newly released bus and left.
The Forward Squad and the Multi-Squad also wanted to follow Fang Xiyue, but they didn't dare to mention it, hoping there would be another opportunity next time.
The forward team was quite anxious because they were in debt to crystal coins.
The bus drove away from the cotton mill, and everyone on the bus noticed that team leader Fang Xiyue was unhappy.
They didn't dare ask Fang Xiyue, so they all turned their attention to Jun Nanxuan.
Jun Nanxuan could only silently reply that they were alright.
Originally, Fang Xiyue was going back to Spruce District to turn in her mission, but now she doesn't plan to go back directly.
She decided to complete the Bauhinia and Bodhi districts before returning, hoping to finish this intermediate mission as soon as possible to obtain the location teleportation program, and then rest for two days.
She dialed Company Commander Lu's number again.
"Xiyue, what's wrong?" Company Commander Lu's kind voice came from behind.
"Company Commander Lu, I've finished taking over the cotton mill. I've left 20 men from the Forward Squad and the Multi-Squad waiting here at the cotton mill."
I plan to stay put for now and head straight to the Bauhinia and Bodhi districts. I'll finish the missions there and then go back.
Fang Xiyue's voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
“Xiyue, are you still angry? Uncle Lu knows that we have gone too far.”
At first, we agreed to only transfer supplies, then we asked you to help collect supplies, and today we're asking you to help escort survivors.
It's understandable that you're angry. You can't let people think you're too easygoing, otherwise they might take things even worse in the future.
Now they know your attitude and bottom line, so this kind of thing won't happen again.
They're not bad people, and they're all thinking about the country. They just underestimated the task you were doing.
I know you agreed to help collect supplies because of me, and I'm very grateful to you.
But Uncle isn't ungrateful, nor is he a pushover; how could he possibly let you suffer any injustice?
Trust me, if you ever encounter someone who upsets you, just come to me and I'll help you resolve it.
"Uncle has been promoted to battalion commander today. He'll have more say now. Uncle will always stand behind you."
Commander Lu's detailed analysis moved Fang Xiyue.
"Okay, Uncle Lu, please guide me in the future."
Fang Xiyue finally smiled, and the air pressure in the car finally eased.
"It's fine if you don't want to come back. We can communicate directly through a medium now, which is quite convenient."
There aren't any supplies to bring back from the Bauhinia and Bodhi districts. You can come back after you collect the supplies. I'll tell them to change the route to pick you up in a bit.
Battalion Commander Lu looked at the maps of the two districts and finally told Fang Xiyue.
"Okay, Uncle Lu."
After hanging up the call, Fang Xiyue told everyone to head directly to the other two districts.
Everyone agreed that this would save a lot of time.
The bus changed direction and headed towards the Zijing District.
On the way, Fang Xiyue also discovered a pet hospital by the roadside, and she checked in there.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received one infinitely refreshable pet hospital.]
