"We'll find out soon, everyone stay alert."
"yes."
Gu Chen stared at the warship's attack direction, witnessing the instantaneous destruction of most of the Zerg. His jaw dropped. Sure enough, he should learn to pilot a warship; it's so cool!
"Looks like they're our helpers."
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat eager to try. He saw people disembarking from the warship. Not everyone could walk and fight directly in space; most people were unable to move while wearing space capsules, like a dead shrimp floating on the sea.
However, the people who disembarked from the warship had a clear objective, and their kill rate was much better than that of ordinary recruits.
With the support of Gu Luobing and others, the small insects in this area were eliminated very quickly, 80% more efficiently than usual.
After greeting Gu Luobing and the others, they returned to the Lu family army's temporary base in this star field.
Gu Chen looked at the dashing woman who had taken off her armor, "Teacher Gu?"
"What? It can't be me? Not only me, Xiao Lan'er came too."
Lu Yuanhong glanced down almost imperceptibly, then quickly regained his composure. "The military can handle things here. You shouldn't have come here."
Xiao Wu had just changed his clothes when he heard this and immediately protested, "The military can handle it, and so can we. General Lu, don't look down on us. Back then, we were the ones who completely outmaneuvered the Imperial Guard."
Xiao Wu was very proud of himself. The skeleton patted him on the head and grinned, "Kids don't know any better and are just talking nonsense."
"We came here to earn military merits, after all, we are veterans. We hope that in light of this incident, His Majesty will grant us a small planet to live on. If our citizen information can be restored, that would be even better."
This extremely polite yet somewhat candid exchange would likely be a classic case study if written in a foreign teacher's report.
Lu Yuanhong nodded, "I will report to my superiors and fight for your rights as much as possible."
...
Lunchtime.
Gu Chen dragged a huge insect-beast corpse to stand in front of Lu Yulan and Lu Yuanhong.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Miss Lan, let's roast some insects. I've tried making them myself several times, but I can't replicate your skill. Now that you're here, why don't we..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a whole bunch of seasonings. Back then, the miracle was still around, and Gu Chen spent most of his salary on these to support Lu Yulan and to satisfy his own foodie nature.
If his family finds out, it will probably take another step further away from marriage.
Gu Chen stepped on the insect beast's compound leg. "Look, how robust this insect beast is. I specially chose it; it's perfectly intact. It must taste delicious."
Gu Luobing raised an eyebrow, momentarily speechless. This audacious yet somewhat foolish behavior was something only a second-level military officer could do.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu also started drooling. "Miss Lan, would you like to try? I'll help you. Just say the word and I'll do it."
Those insectoid creatures we retrieved from space back then, when roasted, actually tasted pretty good.
Lu Yulan: ...
He glanced around discreetly and noticed that most people wanted to do it themselves.
A barely perceptible look of disgust welled up in her eyes. Why make something so nauseating? Aren't nutrient solutions much more convenient and quick?
She gently brushed a strand of hair from her temple. "Gu Chen, I'm not feeling well today. Can we reschedule?"
