Chapter 70 Mission in Progress
“Received.” Sun You was not surprised at all that Zhou Jiu had dealt with a level 6 alien beast.
"The water-fetching unit's mission is progressing smoothly and is nearing completion," Sun You said, describing the progress of the water-fetching mission.
"What? Did I hear that right?" Zhang Ji was the first to speak. He must have heard correctly.
The strange beasts near Suhu Lake began to scatter like birds and beasts, suddenly losing their overall coordinated movement. Some scattered, some separated, and some continued to attack each other with the other members of the two teams.
"I heard it too." Chu Ming was the most composed person besides the calm Sun You and Lin Xiu.
"Lin Xiu, what about you? Did you hear that? I find this so unbelievable!" Zhang Ji didn't get any response from his other friends, so he continued to ask Lin Xiu.
"It's normal, Zhou Jiu! Anything that happens to her is normal." Lin Xiu's tone was indifferent, but inside the mecha, he grinned, very happy that his friend had single-handedly dealt with the level six alien beast.
"What a miracle!" Zhang Ji finally accepted the incredible fact that his teammate had killed a level six alien beast, repeatedly exclaiming "miracle!" and "Awesome!"
“When Zhou Jiu was twelve or thirteen years old, she was already able to kill a level three alien beast directly, without relying on guns or cannons, but only with her own fists and feet. So this is not surprising; she herself is a miracle.” Sun You seemed to be revealing Zhou Jiu’s past unintentionally.
However, Zhou Jiu and Lin Xiu, who knew Sun You well, knew that this was an unusual thing. Sun You rarely revealed her past to others directly, especially pasts that did not belong to her.
Zhou Jiu's lips twitched slightly. To be honest, she really didn't know what Sun You was thinking. Judging from her tone, it seemed like she admired her, but in fact, Zhou Jiu had a feeling that she had already fallen into the trap set by Sun You.
Lin Xiu looked thoughtful. If anyone knew Sun Youren better than Zhou Jiu, it would be his wife. He suddenly wanted to talk to Sun Youren after the competition.
"Just like in the video?" Zhang asked curiously.
“No, it’s even more shocking than in the video,” Sun You said, her eyes shining brightly.
"Hey, where is Zhou Jiu from your team right now? How come our team members were eliminated? Was it Zhou Jiu who did it?" Qin Fengfeng from the Academic God team continued her shouting.
"How would we know? After all, Zhou Jiu is very powerful. Did your team members get killed by the little alien beast?" Although the attacks on the alien beasts by both sides on the battlefield were generally peaceful, there were still occasional minor skirmishes. Lin Xiu started his taunting mode.
“Yeah, yeah, didn’t you guys see that Zhou Jiu is already number one on the individual popularity chart? That’s something you can achieve by killing a mech pilot, don’t talk nonsense.” Zhang Ji and Lin Xiu worked together.
Chu Ming also smiled slightly. The members of the half-baked team were quite interesting, and he also felt a bit of fun in them.
"Hmph, you'd better be careful, or you'll get pecked blind by the strange beast!" Qin Fengfeng said indignantly.
"Should we take advantage of Zhou Jiu's absence and launch a full-scale attack?" Qin Fengfeng discussed with her team members in the internal communication.
"We haven't killed all the monsters yet, let's wait a bit longer."
"The rest of them are also very capable. Let's not try to be brave. Let's finish the mission and then retreat."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of with just a few freshmen? The strongest one, Zhou Jiu, isn't even here yet. If we don't take this opportunity to make a move, are you all going to get wiped out one by one? Don't forget, Zhou Jiu is still alive. It's five against four. Who do you think will win?" Qin Fengfeng said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, while Zhou Jiu is still away, let's take care of these people first. Now that the beasts have all retreated, we don't have to worry about being attacked from behind."
"Why are you all so afraid of Zhou Jiu? I heard she's only been involved with mecha for a few months. I watched her mecha arena matches, and she wasn't that strong!" Another member of the Academic God team was puzzled by the fact that his teammates were so afraid of Zhou Jiu.
“Yes, she’s only been learning for a few months. So, which part of those months do you think her mecha arena competition is?” Qin Fengfeng didn’t want to dampen her team’s spirits, but she also needed to face up to her team’s shortcomings.
The half-baked team gradually began the final stages of their work.
"Captain, when exactly are we going to start playing against the Zongda team?" Zhang Ji couldn't contain himself.
"wait."
"When?"
Just as Zhang Ji asked the question, Sun You saw the Academic God Team enter their range, and the furthest range of their long-range shooting overlapped. He immediately said, "Now, move out. Chu Ming, Zhang Ji, seven o'clock."
"receive!"
Lin Xiu and Sun You coordinated their movements, simultaneously moving to the side to disrupt the enemy's firing range and begin firing.
Upon hearing Sun You's voice, Chu Ming slammed his shield down even harder on the beast behind Zhang Ji. After dealing with the beast, he and Zhang Ji worked together to run towards the ranged attack of the top student team at Zongda University.
"You guys are so cunning, launching the attack first." Qin Fengfeng from the Academic God Team knew that they were going to attack first, but she didn't expect that even while the other side was fighting the alien beast, they had never let their guard down.
"The wicked accuse first, turning the tables on you, tsk tsk, this is the style of your 'Academic God Team'! We really understand now. What a fine 'Academic God,' how about calling him 'Academic Scoundrel' instead?" Lin Xiu didn't hesitate, cursing through the loudspeaker.
Zhou Jiu was still inside the cave. Her fingers moved across the keyboard as she listened to Lin Xiu's voice coming through the communication device, and continued to explore, taking pictures of everything inside.
[Haha, Lin Xiu's verbal skills are truly impressive.]
Haha! The members of the "half-baked" team are all so funny!
I think Sun You is the least noticeable character, and I don't know why she became the team leader.
[Could it be because of her relationship with Lin Xiu that the three of them decided to make Sun You the team leader? Otherwise, why would Zhang Ji and Chu Ming choose Sun You? It seems like the two of them have hardly interacted with Sun You at all. Of course, we'll ignore any interactions related to missions.]
[But I also noticed something: Lin Xiu himself has never called Sun You "Captain." Everyone else has called Sun You "Captain" to some extent, but he hasn't. Is it possible that Lin Xiu doesn't approve of it, but can't go against his girlfriend's wishes?]
[I'm telling you guys, you're so boring. Why is he calling his girlfriend "captain"?]
But public matters should be handled publicly, and private matters should be handled privately!
[Your discussion is meaningless, isn't it? Have you really not watched much of the half-baked team's coordinated battles, or are you only interested in Zhou Jiu? Didn't you notice that Sun You spoke up at every crucial moment, and that all her arrangements were predictable? I feel like she has a fighting style similar to Homo sapiens!]
