Chapter 4 Successful Meeting
"She's an undercover agent?" Zhang Ji asked in surprise, having not yet realized what was going on.
“Yes, I exchanged contact information with Wang Xue on the starship. Although her figure is very similar, her voice is still a bit different. Wang Xue is from Sector 10 of Star C, and her way of speaking is slightly different from this senior student,” Zhou Jiu said.
“…You’re amazing.” Zhang Ji couldn’t help but exclaim.
Zhou Jiu didn't refute it. This was a skill she had painstakingly developed. Originally, it was to study the connection between various facial features and geographical environment. One reason was to make her Yi Jing (Book of Changes) more up-to-date with the times, and the other was to make her divination business in the virtual space more prosperous, earn more money, and return to Ancient Blue Star to find her father who didn't care about her at all.
"Although the General Assembly will allow this senior student to enter the Military Base 1 safely, we will still be attacked along the way."
"Will the top pick from the Comprehensive University kill prisoners? Maybe we can take advantage of this hesitation to take down a few more from the Comprehensive University," Lin Xiu said first.
“Generally, it’s not the first choice, but if it can cause harm, there’s probably no rule that the enemy can’t kill prisoners.” Sun You said, glancing at Wang Xue’s expression. “Killing a prisoner will probably deduct points, since we’re just decorations on this battlefield.”
“You guessed right.” Sun You guessed from Wang Xue’s expression, then said, “This is our advantage. After all, although it’s a team battle, there’s still a difference between school and the battlefield. They’re here to get credits, so our advantage is even greater. But I think we should prioritize safety. While the Comprehensive University is helping Wang Xue get into the First Military Base smoothly, there are probably many ambushes along the way. Even if we exploit an intelligence gap, the four of us can only gain a temporary advantage, which isn’t worthwhile. We need to contact the First Military Base command and get help.”
Lin Xiu removed the signal communicator from the car, took it in his hand, and handed it over through the glass window.
"Bang!" Zhou Jiu slammed Lin Xiu's head down, but there was only a tiny mark on the car window. Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Ha, this thing is bulletproof. Zongda is really cunning in getting Wang Xue inside. It seems this senior is quite useful inside Zongda. This time we can't wait for reinforcements anymore." We can't take advantage of that intelligence time difference.
"Hmm~ You're right." Sun You paused for a moment while holding the communicator.
"Let's just go wherever we want, as long as we get out of the encirclement first."
Holding a gun but finding it useless, Lin Xiu looked at the hail of bullets outside and grinned, "This car is really nice. I'll buy one when I have the money."
They gradually moved away from the sounds of gunfire until they reached the first fork in the road. Zhou Jiu gripped the steering wheel with one hand and tossed and clenched a copper coin in the other, turning the car at the fork: "Friends, believe in me and you will have eternal life. Behold my divination today, and I will show you a miraculous scene."
Of course, the car stopped shortly after this happened.
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Well, it was an accident, but as it turns out, we've still managed to get out of the danger zone."
After getting out of the car, Zhou Jiu picked up his gun and fired a shot at Wang Xue's waist, marking it with a blue mark. Zhou Jiu whistled, took out his sleeve from his mouth, and put one of the keys into Wang Xue's pocket, laughing, "Senior, I'm sorry, you've been eliminated."
Wang Xue's eyes changed; her smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. She said, "Zhou Jiu, I'll remember you."
The group waved goodbye and entered the forest. Wang Xue angrily kicked the dirt under her feet, and was then led away from the battlefield by the instructors who appeared later.
The teacher from the United Nations University then said to the teacher from Military Academy 1, "The quality of the freshmen in Military Academy 1 this year is quite good."
“They still need training.” Xiao Wen glanced at the three people on the starship, but his main focus remained on the battlefield.
But then, as if suddenly remembering something, Xiao Wen asked, "Which school are they heading in the direction they're going to?"
"There are patrol teams from the First Military Medical Corps and the United Nations General Assembly in that direction."
"Not bad luck," Xiao Wen sighed with a smile, then looked away.
…
"We've made contact. The nearest coordinates are at the ten o'clock position, but I think they might doubt our identities, so the coordinates might not be accurate," Sun You said, looking at the coordinates in front of him.
“It’s alright. Once we get back to base, we can leave the battlefield comfortably. Anyway, it would be unfair for us to fight back together,” Zhou Jiu said, raising an eyebrow.
"How arrogant!" Lin Xiu continued to retort.
"So what, you want to join the counterattack? Didn't you say you didn't want to go to military school?" Zhou Jiu retorted.
Lin Xiu pursed his lips, "Who told you two to come? Although we are sponsored students and there aren't many schools we can attend, the reason you came to military academy is something I find hard to say."
Zhou Jiu pouted, wanting to utter a curse, but ultimately swallowed it back in Zhang Ji's presence.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji seemed curious and asked, "What is a sponsored student? Don't you guys think it's interesting to learn about mecha at military academy?"
Zhou Jiu rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. Sun You explained, "Sponsored students are those who are funded by the government and must serve in the military or government after graduation."
"The truth is, they're too poor to afford school, and the law stipulates that they can't drop out. Isn't that coercion? It's really inappropriate," Zhou Jiu sighed, but his face showed no sign of displeasure.
"Come on, you're such a warmonger, love-struck fool," Lin Xiu said.
Sun You was clearly used to it and never participated when the two were bickering.
"Are they lovers?" Zhang Ji asked.
"Huh? Damn it, who wants to date her (him)?"
Sun You choked for a moment, then explained seriously, "Wrong, Lin Xiu is my boyfriend."
Zhang Ji looked at the three of them with an embarrassed expression...
After successfully meeting up, Zhou Jiu and the other three were taken to the liaison room. Looking at the large screen in front of them, Zhou Jiu and Lin Xiu both looked at Sun You. It was obvious that the commander of the first-year students of the military academy had identified Sun You as the leader of this group of freshmen.
Zhang Ji, who had been ignored to the side, also silently followed the other two and looked at Sun You, listening to Sun You and the commander-in-chief of Army One begin a very official report and intelligence sharing.
"You really don't seem like a freshman," the commander-in-chief of the army praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior. May we now withdraw from the battlefield?"
"Don't you want to achieve the final victory for Army One? I think your classmates also deserve your participation."
"Excuse me, seniors, successfully rescuing the hostages captured by the enemy is the mission of the seniors. We are exhausted from being forced into captivity. We request to rest and return to our original positions so as to be good students who do not disturb the order of the battlefield. We hope that the seniors will achieve final victory with their strong strength."
"Haha, this junior is quite interesting."
