This was the first time they faced a real battle, but they did not show any nervousness. Instead, their eyes were shining, full of fighting spirit, and even a little excited.
Being able to rank in the top ten out of more than 3,000 people in the second session, they are all competitive people. This trip to the Sankar Arsenal can once again prove their strength. Their excitement is beyond words, which is in stark contrast to the anxiety of the second-generation pioneers from other teams.
Tu Ran didn't know whether this was good or bad, but because of her responsibility as their captain, she spoke up to remind them.
"Our pioneering team is different from the executive department. The executive department emphasizes merit. The more merits you have, the faster you will be promoted. What our pioneering team needs is points. If you want to be promoted to intermediate or advanced pioneers, you need a corresponding number of points. Our points are accumulated only from the threshold and cannot be obtained from other places." Tu Ran said seriously.
She wanted to remind them that Xie Hong’s so-called “reward” was not points, and that they’d better not put too much energy into it. The right thing to do was to protect themselves.
According to Xie Xu's description, the genetic monsters in the Sankar Arsenal are definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with.
Xie Hong still let this group of people without superpowers in, but he had the idea of killing as many as possible.
Genetic monsters can multiply indefinitely, so their proliferation must be controlled as quickly as possible in order to completely eliminate them.
Although he has superpowers, he cannot kill these genetic monsters by himself in a short period of time. The pioneers and guards going out together can relieve some of his pressure. Although some people will die, he doesn't care.
But her reminder did not have the desired effect, but instead aroused their resistance.
"Tu Ran, please don't use your values to educate us. We are different. In our view, points are a byproduct of honor. The federal government has spent a huge amount of money to train us for five years. We should have the responsibility to contribute to the federation, and we shouldn't only think about points."
The speaker was a young pioneer named "Shen Yunhe".
Ranked first in the grade in the second pioneer assessment.
"We admire your abilities. You were the top graduate in the first batch of Pioneers, and you were an outstanding graduate that the instructors always mentioned. Although you are now a junior Pioneer, your outstanding performance at the graduation party showed us that you are strong enough to crush all the Pioneers of the first generation. This is why we chose you."
"But we don't agree with your thoughts. I even think your thoughts are contradictory. It seems that you do everything for points, but with your ability, if you really think that way, you wouldn't still be a junior pioneer now, so you don't actually care about points."
"The mainstream idea that dominates your behavior is your attitude towards your own life. You seek benefits and avoid harm, and put your own life safety first. This makes you seem to be neither competitive nor aggressive, and you are hesitant. You will only take the initiative when it is absolutely necessary."
Tu Ran listened quietly.
For the first time, she realized that she could be described as "not competitive" and "lukewarm".
When these two words were used to describe her, Tu Ran herself wanted to laugh.
She pursed her lips and suppressed a smile.
She couldn't laugh, otherwise the five people in front of her would think she was deliberately hurting their self-esteem and would start to give her a long and passionate speech.
Le Qin, who was watching the game, stood up. What she expressed was no different from Shen Yunhe's, the only difference was that her tone was more tactful.
"Senior Tu Ran, we will not ask you to change your profit-seeking and harm-avoiding behavior, and you should not try to use your values to educate and restrain us."
"We are only temporarily in the same team. Once the threshold gate opens, we will disperse and no longer have any intersection. So I hope that in the few days that we are in the same team, Senior Sister Tu Ran only needs to tell us what to do and how to do it, and don't instill your ideas into us anymore."
Tu Ran looked at the five young and energetic faces in front of her and sighed inwardly.
She began by giving them an unnecessary reminder.
For them, it only takes one loss for them to learn their lesson.
"Okay." Tu Ran smiled, "I won't say any more nonsense."
The five people nodded with satisfaction. They thought they had won the debate.
They condemned the previous session's No. 1 over and over again.
They are complacent and think they are standing on the moral high ground.
Little did they know that they had wiped out Tu Ran's little sense of responsibility and also lost the hand that could help her in times of crisis.
This was the scene that Xie Xu saw when he walked over.
He knew Tu Ran quite well and could probably guess what had happened.
Le Qin, Shen Yun and the other five people looked at Xie Xu who suddenly approached.
Although we don't know who he is, judging from the fact that he was able to communicate directly with Admiral Xie Hong just now, his status is definitely not low, and he may be the main planner of this action.
"Is there something?" Tu Ran looked at him expressionlessly.
"Yes." Xie Xu nodded, his eyes swept across the faces of the five people, "For this operation, everyone will be divided into four teams, led by General Xie Hong, Deputy Commander of the Pioneer Team Li Wenchuan, me, and you."
"Me?" Tu Ran frowned.
The five people behind her looked at her in surprise.
They could understand that Admiral Xie Hong, the deputy commander of the pioneer team, and the man in front of them who seemed to be of high status were leading the team. After all, the hierarchy was there. But why was it Tu Ran who was the last one?
She was just a junior pioneer.
You should know that the director of the Eden District Branch of the Executive Department and several mid-level pioneers were also present.
"Yes, you." Xie Xu gave her affirmation.
At this scene, he couldn't find anyone more suitable to lead the team than Tu Ran.
"I have already sent the area you are responsible for and the specific route of action to Zero. I have also sent you the list of your team members. You can take a look at it, but I don't think it is necessary to waste time. Admiral Xie Hong is ready to launch an attack, and Li Wenchuan is on his way to the west gate. You'd better hurry to the south gate. Attacking from all sides will make it less likely that any fish will slip through the net."
These words explained everything to her very clearly.
Tu Ran gritted her teeth and stretched her neck to look around. Li Wenchuan was indeed nowhere to be seen, and a quarter of the remaining people were gone.
"knew."
Tu Ran turned and walked towards the south gate.
Also summons Zero.
"Notify all those in charge of the South District to follow me."
One quarter of the remaining three quarters of the crowd on the wasteland moved, found Tu Ran, and followed her almost running towards the south gate.
The five second-generation pioneers led by Tu Ran looked at each other, their faces looking a little ugly.
Tu Ran was appointed as the captain of the four teams, which was like a slap in the face to them, and the sound was particularly loud.
