Gu Qiongsheng was awakened by the alarm at two o'clock in the morning.
Outside the window, the sky was overcast, and outside the door, hurried footsteps could be heard. After this period of training, Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing had also learned the soldiers' exceptionally high level of discipline. They both got up and quickly dressed.
Just three minutes later, Zhou Feng knocked on their bedroom door.
"Something's happened on Xiling Star," she said sternly and concisely. "I've been urgently assigned there to participate in the garrison mission, protecting the local people and evacuating them. Your training ends here."
"The spaceship that will take you back to Tianyuan Star has docked at the airport and will depart in an hour. Hurry and pack your things."
At this point, Zhou Feng's face flashed a gentle smile: "Thank you for this period of time."
Although it was only a short month, during this month Zhou Feng gained a deeper understanding of the two girls' personalities.
She had no doubt that the two people in front of her were the most precious uncut gems, and sooner or later they would leave a resounding name in the history of the Federation's interstellar space.
But when Gu Qiongsheng heard the news, his brows suddenly frowned.
"Wait, Sister Zhou!" She grabbed the corner of Zhou Feng's clothes and asked doubtfully, "Is this a Zerg invasion? Or is the underground Zerg bloodline reviving?"
"What about us? Aren't we going?"
Zhou Feng stroked her still slightly messy hair and smiled, "I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely related to the Zerg. This is just a notification, and we still have to wait for further orders from the military."
"But you definitely can't go. It's too dangerous. Especially you, Jonson. You're such a hot commodity in the military right now. How could they possibly let you go to the front lines?"
Gu Qiongsheng's brows knitted even tighter: "...But, what if I want to go?"
What she had been worrying about these days finally happened - after showing her abilities to the Federation step by step, the Federation would most likely restrict her actions for her safety.
This is completely contrary to Gu Qiongsheng's wishes.
Moreover, she had been running around these days, treating the soldiers' old injuries, and her skill proficiency had increased rapidly, but the speed at which she gained experience was far less optimistic than she had expected.
At this rate, when will she be able to reach level 30?
"The current situation on Xilingxing must be very dire, right?"
Gu Qiongsheng lowered his eyes and said worriedly, "With me helping everyone with treatment, we have a better chance of repelling the bugs, and the people can evacuate faster and more safely."
...The most important thing is, this is a great opportunity to gain experience!
As long as she sets the system to "team up" with Zhou Feng, the other party's experience in killing enemies can be shared with her. By then, the mountains and seas of insects will become a vast ocean of experience.
Gu Qiongsheng thought for a moment, then pulled Zhou Feng aside and talked to him for a few more words.
Of course, she couldn't say directly that killing Zerg would level up, so she could only vaguely say that if she killed more Zerg, her own healing ability would gradually increase.
This statement was obviously not very convincing. Zhou Feng himself did not believe it. After hearing it, he frowned and shook his head repeatedly.
Finally, Gu Qiongsheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "No, I must go."
"If they don't let me go, I won't obey any arrangements made by the Federation anymore. I won't take the place in the military academy anymore. I'll go home and become a cook instead."
What's the point of being a canary kept in a glass house?
If she continues like this, she will always be just a healing tool in the hands of the Federation, trapped in the rear forever, and her will will gradually be worn away. How can she uncover the truth about the Legion of Dawn?
"I'm an adult now. I'll protect my own safety," she insisted. "Besides, Yalan Star is so close to Xiling Star. Brother Kun and the others will surely be recruited, right?"
"Do you want me to hide in the rear alone, waiting until one day I suddenly hear on the news that he, Cao Xinming, or even you, Sister Zhou... have died?"
…
Under Gu Qiongsheng's insistence, the federal top leaders finally gave in.
She and Zhou Qing finally got what they wanted and boarded the spaceship to Xiling Star with Zhou Feng.
Along the way, Zhou Feng muttered helplessly: "Alas, you have hurt me so badly."
"The military thought I was the one who gave you the idea, and they gave me a good scolding."
Gu Qiongsheng blushed slightly: "Sorry, Sister Zhou, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
"It's nothing. I'm tough, so a little criticism is nothing to me." Zhou Feng smiled and patted her shoulder, his voice particularly serious. "I just want to say that when you two go to Xiling Star, you must obey my instructions and stay close to me at all times."
"Please, please, remember this, if only to justify the criticism I've received."
Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.
This time they boarded a real military spacecraft, which was traveling at a very high speed. After only three hours, they received the news that they were about to land.
At this time, looking out the porthole, you can see the entire picture of Xiling Star.
It was a planet with a high water content, and its azure color was very bright. Most of the surface was submerged in water, with only scattered land at the equator - but at this moment, looking from the sky, those lands had already been covered by thick clouds.
"Anti-silence blockers are in place!"
"Safety signal received!"
"No abnormal life activity on the surface. The area around the airport has been cleared. Landing is possible!"
Mechanical sounds came from the radio, and the footsteps of the soldiers coming and going became more and more rapid. Gu Qiongsheng, who was following closely behind Zhou Feng and wearing protective clothing, was also affected by the tense atmosphere, and his heart gradually rose to his throat.
And when the hatch opened and the soldiers filed out—
A thick, pungent air instantly engulfed Gu Qiongsheng in the flames of war.
There was debris everywhere.
Buildings collapsed, dust filled the sky, and the once prosperous streets and residential areas were reduced to ruins. The smell of gunfire and blood mixed tightly together, making people almost suffocate.
The wind was filled with roars and screams, and faintly there was the hoarse crying of a child. Gu Qiongsheng felt that her head was about to explode. Her innate vision was automatically activated without being activated, and a large area of colorful bubbles spread out in front of her eyes.
The Zerg were filled with malice, the warriors were overflowing with anger, and the sad and terrified blue were the residents of the Western Antelope Star who had not yet evacuated - there were too many stars to recapture, and the Federation had tried its best to evacuate only a few top talents, and the vast majority of citizens were still stranded on this planet.
Many people were injured in the earthquake, and then they encountered a fierce attack from deep underground. This attack from within was hard to defend against. Almost after only an hour, the Federation gave up the possibility of expelling the Zerg and saving Xiling Star, and instead set its goal on rapid evacuation.
Gu Qiongsheng stood there in a daze.
The strong smell of blood, fishy smell, gun smoke and death, as well as the overwhelming malice and despair in her gifted vision, instantly overwhelmed her, making her ears buzz and her head "clang" for a moment under the heavy burden.
A pair of warm hands suddenly fell and covered her ears and eyes.
"Don't look, don't listen." Zhou Feng's soft voice sounded, "Take a deep breath, don't be afraid."
Gu Qiongsheng took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.
She held Zhou Feng's hand and said softly, "Sister Zhou, I'm fine."
She immediately turned around and pointed southeast, her voice calm and decisive: "At four o'clock, there are ten Zerg underground."
Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and winked at the soldier behind him.
The soldiers coordinated tacitly, several of them immediately charging southeast, their mental energy rippling through their bodies. "Bang, bang, bang!" After a burst of intense gunfire, large, dark blue blood splattered beneath the ruins, accompanied by the sharp screams of injured Zerg!
"hiss!"
Zhou Feng smacked his lips and said with emotion: "Your reconnaissance ability is as strong as ever."
She suddenly realized that Gu Qiongsheng's persistence was correct.
This girl not only possesses excellent healing skills, but also countless other magical abilities. On the battlefield, she is a bug-like existence that defies the heavens!
Gu Qiongsheng was also amazed in his heart.
On the one hand, after the soldiers killed the Zerg, her system background prompted that a large amount of experience had been recorded, pushing the experience bar forward a little bit.
On the other hand, after sensing the large number of Zerg and refugees, her mind buzzed, and a prompt window popped up in front of her:
[Beep, special dungeon · Battlefield smoke detected, talent · Healing Soul passive effect has been activated! ]
[The proficiency gained from treatment has been greatly improved...]
[The duration of talent vision is greatly increased...]
[Temporary mental resistance buff has been added...]
The moment the prompt sounded, Gu Qiongsheng's innate vision changed again.
Large pieces of mixed bubbles were separated. At this moment, she seemed to have gained a thinking bonus, and was able to quickly and accurately determine the people, quantity, and direction corresponding to the soul bubbles, and give Zhou Feng more precise prompts!
How convenient! Gu Qiongsheng secretly sighed in his heart.
If she had this clear innate vision on the planet Weilun, would she still be afraid of the rift worms lurking underground?
But it didn't matter. It was good to have it now. The system was really considerate and knew what she was missing. Otherwise, when she opened her eyes, she would have seen a mess of bubbles. Gu Qiongsheng would have gone crazy before he could even get treatment.
But after thinking about it, Gu Qiongsheng had an idea in his mind - could such a change occur because the system has also absorbed enough energy?
The energy absorbed from the underground insect blood has been missing. What if the system has stored it all and is preparing to use it to upgrade the system panel?
The truth is still unknown, but Gu Qiongsheng already felt a little excited.
If it is really as she thought, then perhaps there is room for improvement in her skills?
But now is not the time to explore.
Gu Qiongsheng closed his eyes slightly, taking in the situation. His slender white fingers suddenly turned and pointed to the left: "One hundred meters away, there are three Zergs behind the ruins!"
"Two hundred meters ahead, at one o'clock, there are people hiding under a building, probably in a basement or something. One, two... sixteen people in total!"
The Federation also has life detectors, but firstly, they are affected by the Silent Field and sometimes work and sometimes don’t. Secondly, detection also takes time, unlike Gu Qiongsheng’s fast and efficient detection.
Zhou Feng led the soldiers to fight wherever they were directed, cutting a bloody path out of the airport. When they accurately rescued the wounded from the rubble for the third time, the soldiers looked at Gu Qiongsheng with different eyes, each of them glaring, as if Gu Qiongsheng was a true god who had descended from the sky.
More importantly, the most difficult part of rescue and evacuation missions is not the search and rescue, but the follow-up after finding the injured.
Many ordinary citizens were seriously injured, and some even lost too much blood and fell into a coma, unable to move at all.
Under normal circumstances, under the Zerg's insidious and ferocious, seamless and tight offensive, the soldiers would either have to retreat with the wounded on their backs, taking higher risks due to the weight, or they would have no choice but to abandon some of the seriously injured.
It's helpless, realistic and heavy.
——But in front of Gu Qiongsheng, these sorrows do not exist at all!
After a few healing skills, the wounded's bleeding stopped and their wounds healed. In just a few seconds, they crawled up from the ground vigorously, and hid behind the soldiers with nimble legs and feet, as obedient as a group of children holding onto their adults' clothes.
Even if someone was mentally traumatized, for example, someone's legs went limp with fear at the sight of blood and death, they would stand up dazed after being hit by Gu Qiongsheng's skill.
The power of her talent, the healing soul, was brought to its fullest at this moment. Almost everyone felt as if they had seen their backbone the moment they saw her. The fear of war and the terror of death in their minds faded away, and what remained was only infinite faith and hope in survival.
On the Xiling Star, which is filled with despair and killing, their team is like a breath of fresh air.
After walking a little further, Gu Qiongsheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a building not far away.
It seemed to be a landmark building of a certain group. The defensive measures were extremely thorough. It still stood firm amidst the landslides and sinkholes, becoming a particularly eye-catching existence among the ruins.
It’s a pity that this kind of brilliance not only attracts humans, but also Zerg.
"There are still quite a few people in there."
Looking at the high-rise buildings from afar, Gu Qiongsheng frowned slightly and whispered, "But there are also many Zergs surrounding outside."
Zhou Feng asked seriously, "How many are there?"
Gu Qiongsheng closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment before he said, "At least fifty."
"There are still some wandering around the periphery. If you count them all, there are almost a hundred of them."
