Watching the car drive away, Chu Xingyue turned her head and exchanged a glance with Chu Xingyue in the back seat. Both of them had a somewhat solemn expression.
Yang Run, who was driving, didn't understand Rossi's words, but from the looks in the captain's eyes, he could roughly guess that things weren't as simple as they thought.
The car stopped at the castle, which was dimly lit, not brightly lit at all.
No one rested; they were all waiting for the two in the study. Yang Run opened the door and came in, followed by Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci.
"Captain, you're back!"
"Sister, brother-in-law, you're back?"
The group, some sitting and some standing, stood up and addressed the three people who had entered.
"Yes, please sit down, no need to stand up."
The door closed from the back.
Gu Yanci didn't say anything, and led everyone directly to the underground via elevator.
In the small conference room, Chu Xingyue sat in the head seat, her fingers rhythmically tapping the table. Her expressionless face revealed something different to the rest of the team.
The group glanced at Yang Run, who had come out with them. Yang Run shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know, and gestured for everyone to remain calm.
Gu Yanci brought Chu Xingyue a glass of water and gently placed it opposite her.
"We just received news that our mission this time may be a bit tricky, and the previously formulated plan may need to be changed."
Everyone looked at Chu Xingyue, who was sitting at the head of the table, with a puzzled expression.
Chu Xingyue frowned, looking at the young faces below who were looking at her with eager eyes. She decided to tell everyone the news she had just received.
"I went out this afternoon and received some news that wasn't very friendly to us."
Chu Xingyue paused.
"Captain, just say the word, we'll all follow your orders."
"Yes, Captain, we will all follow your instructions."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
"What I didn't expect was that there were still messages I couldn't detect. I was originally very confident about this mission, but now I'm not so sure anymore, especially since the people we're about to deal with aren't the normal people we know."
"What do you mean by not being a normal person? Does it mean you have superpowers?"
Zhou Yu's words instantly drew everyone's attention to him.
Even Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci were looking at him, which made Zhou Yu feel a little uneasy.
Could he have been right?
"No way?"
"Is that really the case?"
All eyes turned to Chu Xingyue.
"Your understanding is not wrong. I don't know the specifics yet, so I'm not sure. If they are all normal human beings like everyone else, I'm not worried at all. We are all quite strong. But if we encounter people like that, our chances of winning are really small."
No one spoke; they all seemed lost in their own thoughts.
"Now that I've brought you all out, I'm thinking of bringing you all back safely to our motherland."
"Sister, I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with you, I have nothing to be afraid of."
Chu Xingyue, who had regained her senses first, looked at Chu Xingyue with a determined gaze and said.
"Captain, we have nothing to fear."
Me too.
Me too.
“Sister An’an, I have nothing to fear.”
Seeing everyone looking at her with unwavering eyes, without even the slightest hesitation, Chu Xingyue felt even more reluctant to let them go with her.
Although this mission was ordered by higher-ups, her volunteering was partly due to personal reasons. If what happened later hadn't been revealed, she would have been confident in bringing them all back safely. Now, she truly has no confidence at all.
She couldn't be so selfish. Chu Xingyue was lost in her thoughts, unable to make up her mind until she felt a touch on her hand and looked in the direction of the hand that was grabbing hers.
What came into view was Gu Yanci's encouraging gaze.
Without saying a word, he completely trusted his own eyes.
Yes, there was some personal motive involved, but it wasn't entirely for her own benefit. There was also the task assigned by her superiors, which she had to complete.
Now there are difficulties they are unaware of. She cannot give up just because she doesn't know what difficulties lie ahead. She can't know she can't accomplish it before she's even started.
How much humanity can a research institute capable of conducting human research possess?
She's not a saint. Now that things have come to this point, she doesn't want to back down before she's even moved forward; that's not in her nature.
Having figured this out, Chu Xingyue looked at the wholehearted trust in her from everyone in the seats, and she felt even more determined not to back down.
"I'll give you five minutes to think it over. If you want to withdraw, I won't pursue the matter or blame you."
After saying this, Chu Xingyue looked at the rest of the team.
No one in the team spoke; they just looked at each other.
"Is no one quitting?"
"We swear to follow our captain to the death!"
"We swear to follow our captain to the death!"
"We swear to follow our captain to the death!"
These words weighed as heavily as a thousand pieces of gold on Chu Xingyue's heart, making her feel suffocated for a moment.
The surge of energy in her chest rushed to her nose, making Chu Xingyue's eyes a little moist.
He slowly took a deep breath.
"Alright, now that you've all made your decisions, I'll start by creating a new plan."
Everyone who heard this sat up straight without pausing, not wanting to miss a single word Chu Xingyue said.
"We know the specifics now, but we only know that a super soldier has been developed inside the research institute. We don't know how strong it is, so we can't act rashly."
"The previous operation time is cancelled. I will arrange the specific operation time."
They planned to discuss it all night.
"To ensure everything goes perfectly, we'll have to adapt to the situation."
"Aci, Jiaojiao, you two will come with me. The rest of you, after dealing with the personnel at the outer nuclear facility, will all be outside to meet us. No one is allowed to make any moves without my orders."
"yes"
"yes"
"yes"
One command after another was given.
It was already bright outside, but the meeting in the small conference room was still going on.
While everyone was still discussing something, a piercing alarm suddenly woke them all up.
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yanci stood up, opened the conference room door, and asked the person at the door.
"what happen?"
"Okay, I understand."
The sound in the headset stopped.
"Boss, we received a report from District 4 that the gun we just improved last night exploded."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanci's lips curled into a smile. "The rat came out on its own?"
Turning to look at Chu Xingyue sitting in the main seat, his wicked smile sent chills down the spines of those who saw it, but Chu Xingyue understood.
