Chapter 80 Chapter 80 What do I look like to you?
My room is a mess, so I might as well drink it while it's hot.
Just kidding.
The internal staff have not even started fighting among themselves before they have officially started working. Can this be considered another form of vanguard?
After hearing Kasa's blurt-out threat, I instinctively retorted, "Shouldn't I tell the General? After all, she's still my sister in name only."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at me, especially the two people who were pulling my hair just now. There seemed to be a glimmer of fire in their eyes when they looked at me.
I immediately broke out in a sweat.
You're such a jerk! Why are you trying to show off at this moment? Now, you've made the lovers unite on the spot, and given Kasa the real evidence!
After a three-second silence, I tried to salvage it, "I was kidding."
"But what you said is true." Ali said arrogantly.
I immediately covered Ali's mouth, blinking my eyelids until they were cramping, to signal her not to say anything she shouldn't.
Ali was confused, but she kept her mouth shut. Making sure she wouldn't say anything more, I let her go and turned to Kasa with a serious face, changing the subject. "Did you get the map?"
Kasa: "...For you."
So a few of us women found a bench, gathered around the small table and started looking at the map.
This was the map Kasa had taken from her office. It already had several locations marked on it. The military camp was located slightly to the right of the center of the military zone, with Shangxing City and Keya District to the top and bottom (the geographic location was based on Wuwei City, Gansu Province). The lower right corner was the area occupied by the Angsa (Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture). The large area between the military camp and the Angsa-held area was the mine (Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture). The terrain around this area was flat and was the primary combat zone for both sides.
The location of the deceased double that Kasa and Sergeant Guchiga found was in the northwest region (Qingyang City). This location, close to the sea and bordered by a remote archipelago, meant the military presence was relatively lax. Although far from the military camp, if the terrain was effectively utilized, a surprise attack could be launched. This was why Kasa and Guchiga personally headed there after receiving the false intelligence.
I took a quick look at it last time in Sergeant Guchiga's office, and now I looked at it again to confirm what to do next.
Thinking about the plan in my mind, I was worried about myself. I hadn't even started yet, but my heart was already pounding.
Bai Wuyong, Bai Wuyong, if this plan fails, he will really die without a burial place, his life and reputation will be ruined, and he will be despised by the devil even in hell.
But if I did it...
Thinking of that possibility, my breathing quickened slightly.
"Did you see anything?" Kasa asked impatiently when he saw that I was silent for a long time.
I looked up and said, "That's about it. I have some other things to prepare. I plan to personally go to the northwest where the body was found to search for clues. You will be responsible for following me."
The northwest wasn't a key area on the front line, so Kasa still had the right to go there. He nodded and turned to look at Ali next to him, "What about their mission?"
"They stayed in the barracks and waited for the signal. They would know what to do later."
I only said half of my words, which made Kasa frown tightly. "What kind of bullshit are you talking about your dad? Why don't you just tell me directly?"
"I'm afraid you've leaked information to the undercover agent again," I said.
Kasa fell silent for a moment, glaring at me again through gritted teeth. After a long pause, he uttered, "Just wait. When the general comes back, we'll go to the training ground and have a real fight."
I pondered this for a moment and then pushed Ali towards her. "Ali, she said she wants to fight you."
Ali: "Does she have it?"
Kasa: “Do I have it?”
"Yes, I heard it all." I said righteously, "Now you two go fight! Seriously, otherwise there will be no chance later!"
So, with my eloquence, I first fooled Ali into doubting whether she had said similar words, and then successfully provoked Karsa and sent them both to the training ground.
After watching the two leave, I assigned tasks to the quiet men. "Qi Yuan, take the consent form and go to the autopsy room. A Mu, you and I will go meet Sergeant Gu Qijia. As for you..."
I was stuck. "What's your name?"
Omega, dressed in a sweet nurse uniform, glared at me angrily. "Just call me Palala. You're not the only one who can remember your lover's name, are you?"
I curled my lips. "Stop pretending. Why didn't I see you calling me sister when you were helping me kill people in the slums? You should also go to the autopsy room with Qi Yuan. I need the two of you to cooperate with the military doctors in the autopsy room to study the things the organization brought here. One more thing, you must always remember that your external identity is that you entered the military zone through Kirsty Jane's relationship. You are a member of the Jane family, not mine."
"There are undercover agents from both Baidengwan and Angsa in the military zone. If you make even one wrong move, we'll all die together."
When it came to business, the three of them finally became serious.
I told him some other things and took Amu to Sergeant Guqijia's office.
When I arrived at her office, I knocked on the door and went in, only to see Gu Qijia still with a frown on her face.
When we met, I got straight to the point. I pushed Amu in front of Guqijia and said, "Kasa and I are going to the northwest to look for clues. During this time, I am very likely to encounter unexpected events, and the undercover agents in the military zone are also likely to attack Wuyin. Sergeant Guqijia, I hope you can protect him well."
Sergeant Guqijia's already furrowed brows made him want to pinch a fly to death after hearing this. "Do you have a plan?"
"Yes," I admitted. "The risk is high, but I'm certain the general is still alive. If all goes well, I'll get the rebel leader to release him."
"How can you guarantee that?"
I smiled slightly, "I can't guarantee that, that's why I'm handing Wuyin over to you."
Ah Mu, who knew nothing, was stunned. He subconsciously grabbed my hand and asked me, "What do you mean?"
I ignored Amu and continued to talk to Gu Qijia: "Come to think of it, Wuyin is still your direct junior."
"The weapons design major at the headquarters military university in Keya District has very few outstanding graduates. To this day, your photo is still hanging on the honor roll for students to admire. My younger brother Wuyin is also one of those students who admire you."
Amu's expression changed again and again when he didn't get an answer. Finally, he gritted his teeth, let go of my hand, lowered his head and took a step back.
At my introduction, Sergeant Guqijia looked at Amu with a look of vague scrutiny and thought.
She was thinking, wondering what the purpose of this councilor from the Ascending City was.
So many people graduate from the headquarters military academy, but how few rise to the rank of sergeant? He's just an obscure junior, no need to single him out for introduction. The so-called "admiration" is merely a polite gesture to build closer ties, the true purpose always being to be put in the most conspicuous place.
So after a moment of silence, Guqijia looked at the senator standing in front of the table and said, "Did he bring the blueprints?"
As soon as the question was asked, the alpha man called Wuyin took out the folded semi-finished design drawings at the senator's urging.
A design drawing that was half the size of a person was spread out on the table, with dense parameters and graceful lines spread out in front of Sergeant Guqiga.
She couldn't understand the special symbols marked on it, but as someone who had fought on the battlefield for nearly ten years, she could tell that this was an amazing work just by observing the lines drawn by the designer.
Sergeant Gu Qijia understood that the so-called protection was not to protect Bai Wuyin, but the design drawings in Bai Wuyin's hands.
"Okay, I'll make sure he's safe," Sergeant Guchiga promised.
The senator standing in the middle of the office heard this, and his formal and honest smile finally turned into a sincere smile.
The senator said in a grateful tone, "Thank you very much, Sergeant Guchiga."
They left.
"Bai Wuyin——" As soon as he left the office, A Mu couldn't wait to grab Bai Wuyin's hand, "What do you mean!"
"I thought you knew." Bai Wuyin said as a matter of course, "Didn't I tell you before I came here that this mission is very dangerous and I may not be able to return."
"Is there ever a mission the organization assigns you that isn't dangerous?" Amu retorted, "Have you ever been in charge of me before?"
"I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid. I've been with you for so long, I've known for a long time that you're a jerk who plans three steps at a time. You won't make plans for your funeral unless you're forced into a corner. What do you think of me as? A widow?"
While Amu was cursing, Bai Wuyin stood in front of him and listened quietly, just like countless times before, patiently waiting for him to vent his emotions.
But this time, Amu not only scolded him, but also kept asking what he wanted to do.
Bai Wuyin checked the time and confirmed that Karsa and Ali were almost done fighting, so he said, "I'm leaving first."
"Damn it, Bai Wuyin, if you don't say anything, I'll tell Sergeant Gu Qijia right now that it was you who got into the school, not me!"
Bai Wuyin retracted his steps.
Ah Mu's eyes were red as he cursed like crazy, wishing he could throw all his curse words at Bai Wuyin. "Scum, bastard, ungrateful wolf! Do you think I don't know that right after leaving the no-man's land, you hooked up with that person named Ali? During that time, the money for food, housing, and even the money for buying citizenship were all earned through fighting! You were working for the organization back then, and you thought you could hide it from me?"
"Do you think I don't know that you sent me to school because you were afraid that the parents of your one-night stand would come to your house for revenge? Damn it, I went because I knew! Otherwise, why would I feel comfortable pretending to be Bai Wuyin? Why would I feel comfortable enjoying the vanity brought by your first place in the exam?"
The more excited he became, the more Amu couldn't control the sob in his voice.
He grabbed Bai Wuyin's collar and said, "I almost died at the hands of the principal several times. Why do you think I insisted on living until now and coming to the military zone with you?"
"Is this how you repay me?"
Bai Wuyin calmly accepted all of Amu's scolding and complaints without even struggling.
When the storm was about to subside, Bai Wuyin finally spoke: "I will go see Angsa."
"What?"
"This is why I came to the military zone, to delay Angsa. It would be best if I could kill him, although the possibility is very low."
Amu's throat seemed to be blocked by something. "You tried twice, and you failed."
"Maybe it will work the third time?"
"If it happens three times, he will kill you." Amu retorted with his neck stiff.
Bai Wuyin suddenly gave an unbelievably cold smile, deflecting a baffling question, "Do you know why the slums exploded?"
The sudden change of topic made Amu's mind confused, and he subconsciously followed Bai Wuyin's train of thought, "Isn't Baidengwan trying to wipe out the rebels in one go?"
"That's fake," Bai Wuyin said softly. "Even if there weren't any rebels, Bai Dengwan would have blown up the slums. They want to build a new type of city and shift their base."
"They rely on ore to consolidate their rule, and the ore they stored beneath White Light Bay has run out. No Man's Land is a new address they've developed over the past twenty years. It's a massive mine, and there are slums to hide their presence. Twenty years is plenty of time for them to lay the foundation for their future new home."
"Even if there were no rebels, they would have bombed the slums, and hundreds of thousands of people would have died."
"...What does this have to do with your plan to kill Ansa?"
"A little, but not much."
"Then you still—"
"Amu, I don't want to attack you for the time being."
A Mu stopped talking abruptly and let go of Bai Wuyin's collar with some fear.
This was the true face of the woman before him. She was so cold and frightening that she was a veritable ungrateful person. Whether it was her childhood sweetheart or her teacher who had taught her for six years, she would not hesitate to take action when her own interests were involved.
Amu adjusted his breathing as much as possible, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a question from his throat: "Who do you want to attack this time?"
After a brief thought, the woman uttered a name.
Amu knew who the owner of this name was. Although he had never met him, he helped Bai Wuyin solve a very important problem.
Thus ended the brief conversation.
Bai Wuyin put on his familiar honest smile again, patted Amu's shoulder as if to comfort his younger brother, and said gently, "It's okay, Wuyin, your life is very important to many people. With Sergeant Gu Qijia here, no one can hurt you."
"Yeah." Amu agreed in a hoarse voice.
Bai Wuyin left.
Her footsteps echoed in the corridor, passing by several soldiers who had just returned from watching the excitement in the training ground.
When he said goodbye to Ali, Bai Wuyin looked at Kasa, who was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, and took a deep breath, "What kind of monster are you?"
"I'm not, I'm a human being." Ali corrected her mistake seriously.
"I don't look like one," Bai Wuyin teased, then pretended to ask casually, "Then do you think I look like an ungrateful person?"
This question made Ali confused.
But she believed that as a friend, she should answer the question seriously, so she stared at Bai Wuyin's face for a full ten seconds before concluding, "You are a human, not a wolf."
