"Excellent! Since you devised this plan, you will be fully responsible for this mission. You must carry it out unwaveringly. Remember, time is of the essence. We cannot afford to slack off. We must recover those vital lost firearms as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Chief!"
Lu Yu stood at attention and saluted solemnly, his straight posture showing the majesty of a soldier. Then he turned around and resolutely left the command room filled with a tense atmosphere.
In his heart, there seemed to be a blazing fire, filled with an indescribable sense of urgency.
But he knew he must not panic. Only by maintaining calm and rationality could he find a glimmer of hope in this crisis that had come suddenly and without warning.
During the long and critical period that followed, Lu Yu, like a tireless steel warrior, led his group of brave and fearless comrades and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the intensive investigation and search work.
They did not miss any corner that might hide clues, and carefully searched every inch of land, as if they wanted to turn the whole world upside down, just to find the lost guns as soon as possible and restore the troops to their former combat effectiveness.
However, those brave and fearless warriors searched for their targets as persistently as stars in the darkness throughout the long night.
They shuttled through the vast night, not missing any possible corner, their steps were firm and powerful, and their eyes revealed determination and resoluteness.
However, despite their efforts, a whole night passed without them finding the desired result.
In order to maintain sufficient physical strength and allow every soldier to continue to devote themselves to the following search operation in the best mental state, Lu Yu knew that he had to make a wise decision at this time.
"Pass the order down, let all officers and soldiers involved in the search take a two-hour break!"
Lu Yu understood that sharpening the knife would not delay the chopping of wood. These two hours might be a brief, peaceful rain, nourishing the tired hearts of the soldiers.
After the order was issued, the soldiers who were originally as exhausted as statues about to collapse, walked slowly towards their respective dormitories to rest with heavy but powerful steps, as if they were under a spell.
As for Lu Yu, he also dragged his exhausted body as if crushed by a heavy burden, and returned to his home step by step, slowly and firmly.
The moment he pushed open the door with slightly trembling hands, a warm and familiar breath hit him in the face.
Qin Wan was sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, like a quiet statue, with anticipation flashing in her eyes, quietly waiting for his return.
Although the two were only separated for half a day, it seemed like a long time to Qin Wan.
When she saw Lu Yu's extremely haggard face, with even a few blisters popping up at the corners of his mouth, her heart suddenly felt like it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. A sharp pain came over her, and she was extremely worried and anxious for him.
She raised her head gently, her eyes full of concern, like two clear springs, looking gently at Lu Yu, who looked a little sloppy at the moment.
Her voice was as gentle as the breeze brushing past my ears, and she asked softly:
"Is this matter really that difficult? Tell me what happened..."
Her words contained endless worry and love, like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating the haze in Lu Yu's heart.
Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then he forced a smile and sighed softly:
"Yes, it's not easy. The troops lost their guns, but I will definitely try my best to solve it."
As he spoke, he slowly walked to Qin Wan and gently hugged her, as if drawing strength from this brief embrace, ready to plunge into the difficult battle again.
Next, Lu Yu said while changing his clothes:
"If we can find it, that's fine. If we can't, not only will the soldier be court-martialed, but the entire regiment's cadres will also be criticized."
"Is it that serious?"
Qin Wan pondered for a moment.
She put the child into the space in the middle of the night and quietly left. With the help of her mental power, she sensed what happened in the army and found that the gun was under the tools used to dig the air-raid shelter. As for who put it there, she didn't know.
But she didn't know how to tell Lu Yu. She couldn't just tell him the truth. However, if it really didn't work out, she could still confess to Lu Yu.
Seeing his wife hesitating, Lu Yu felt upset. He knew that his wife had some unknown abilities, otherwise the National Institute of Supernatural Powers would not have recruited her.
But since his wife didn't tell him, he pretended not to know. Anyway, he knew that his wife had feelings for him, and as long as he didn't do anything wrong, his wife would definitely become his last trump card.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"Wanwan, what do you think?"
Qin Wan saw that Lu Yu had asked, and she had a way out, so she took the opportunity to say:
"I think you might be blind to what's happening. Don't just keep your eyes on the outside. You can look inside, for example, for the tools used to dig air-raid shelters, or on the eaves and beams, places that are easily overlooked in the camp."
When Lu Yu heard this, a sense of urgency suddenly surged in his heart. The urgency made him forget even the most common action like changing clothes.
