Chapter 390 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Sweeping Away the Male and Female Protagonists (42)
It's clear that the actual situation of the soldiers in the regiment seems to be somewhat different from the education she received at school.
Anning told her.
There will always be a gap between ideals and reality; you have to accept reality.
Kress could only walk over to Jin Shu and ask her in a low voice.
Do you also think winning is important?
"Yes, of course."
"Oh, but I don't think winning like that is very meaningful."
Shouldn't soldiers be brave and never retreat? What difference does it make if they retreat like this?
Jin Shu smiled.
"Then let's try a different way to win."
Kress didn't understand what she meant, but when she wanted to ask again, she remembered Jin Shu's personality and was afraid that she would find her impatient, so she silently shut her mouth and stuck to Jin Shu as they went to the Third Regiment's team.
The original team of five people has grown to ten. Ling Xiao is still walking in the middle, holding a map in her hand. Huang Zheng and Harry are now leading the way. They have taken medicine and their mental state has improved significantly.
Not long after, Ling Xiao frowned.
"We're too slow. The first team chose a different route and should be overtaking us now."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zheng, who was leading the way, increased the speed of his hands, but the team's progress did not increase much.
Ling Xiao glanced at Ke Lai Si and Jin Shu beside her.
"You two, go and help too."
Claire was about to retort, but when she saw Ling Xiao's cold and serious eyes, she suddenly became a little timid.
Jin Shu didn't say much, took out a dagger and joined Huang Zheng and Harry.
Seeing this, Kress obediently followed.
An Ning, who was left alone, naturally wouldn't stand at the back by herself, so without saying much, she joined her own team.
Behind them, the three teams chatted and laughed as they strolled leisurely along the cleared path, looking more like they were on a spring outing than on an adventure.
Kress couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"Why should we do this? Isn't this just treating us as free labor?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zheng simply replied with a single sentence.
"They gave us benefits, so it's understandable that we do these things."
"cut……"
Kress slashed wildly, glancing at Jin Shu beside her. She remained silent, her expression indifferent, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
Just then, Jin Shu stopped what she was doing, looked down, bent down, pushed aside the stone blocking her way, and picked up something.
"What's this?"
Kress quickly came over to take a look.
Jin Shu wiped the thing in her hand clean and saw that it was a pure black crystal. It was small but heavy. Kress couldn't help but gasp softly after just one glance.
"It's black crystal! It really is black crystal!"
Even though she was trying her best to suppress her excitement, she was still noticed by those around her.
Huang Zheng and Harry also turned around to look, and after noticing the black crystal in Jin Shu's hand, they stopped one by one and couldn't help but step forward to examine it carefully.
"It really is a crystal, and it's black too. These kinds of things are so rare these days. I never expected to see one here."
Jin Shu weighed it in.
"Hmm, this amount is fine."
Seeing this, Huang Zheng also wanted to test the weight, and Jin Shu threw it over without hesitation.
"I didn't expect it to be so heavy! This weight is more than enough to keep the mech charged for two hours!"
Peya, you're really lucky.
Here, keep it safe. Consider this your reward.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious, but as the team captain, Huang Zheng would never covet his teammates' things.
Several people took turns touching it all over; such a commotion was bound to attract the attention of the Third Regiment.
The deputy captain of the first team of the third regiment stepped forward and reached out to ask Jin Shu to hand him the crystal to take a look.
Jin Shu put it directly into the backpack she was carrying.
"I'm sorry, the items are too valuable."
"Would I possibly keep your things for myself?"
The other person looked furious, not expecting Jin Shu to be so wary of him.
"It's just a black crystal. You've all seen it in textbooks before. What's so interesting about it? We need to get going."
After speaking, Jin Shu continued to clear the way with a positive attitude. Kress, who had been complaining at the beginning, also shook off her previous negativity and became full of energy, wielding the dagger in her hand with great force.
"Look! I found one too! A crystal!!"
Kress's excited voice echoed throughout the team, and the members of the Third Regiment couldn't help but come over to watch. They stared intently as Kress wiped the dirty crystal in her hand clean, revealing a pure black background!
"Black Crystal!!"
"Holy crap! Another black crystal!! Is this some kind of auspicious feng shui location?!"
"Captain, we can't let them get all the benefits!"
"Sister, what's going on? How come there are black crystals here! If we hadn't taken in these people, these black crystals would be ours!"
Her teammates were green with envy, but Ling Xiao appeared calm on the surface, though her heart was in turmoil.
Before she could even speak, another surprised scream came from ahead.
"Wow!! Another black crystal!! Anning!! Your black crystal is huge!!"
Ling Xiao looked over suddenly and saw that someone in the 11th Regiment's team had dug up another black crystal, which was even bigger than the previous one!
Before she could even speak, the team members couldn't sit still any longer. They rushed forward and shoved Huang Zheng, Harry, and the others aside.
"Alright, now it's our turn to clear the way!"
With tangible benefits right in front of him, how could Huang Zheng possibly give up so easily?
"Your team leader just said that we joined later so we should do more work. What do you mean by that now?"
The other person looked completely at ease.
"What do you mean? You've already mined all the black crystals and taken our serum, and you still want to take advantage of us? Get out of the way!"
Huang Zheng retreated to the back with a stern face, his gaze fixed on Ling Xiao.
"Captain Ling..."
"If we hadn't taken you in back then, you wouldn't have gotten a single one of these crystals. Now you have three and you're still not satisfied?"
Ling Xiao's words were taken for granted, clearly indicating her intention to protect her own.
Huang Zheng was about to say something when Jin Shu grabbed him.
"Captain, you must be tired too. Take a break and let them do the work."
And just like that, the two teams switched positions.
Jin Shu and the others walked slowly behind, silently watching the people in front vigorously swinging their daggers.
Sure enough, someone was leading the way, and the damp, sultry wind carried a faint sweet scent.
And so, the people of the Third Regiment worked hard for nearly two hours, managing to travel almost five kilometers.
The people from the 11th Regiment started yawning in the back, when suddenly the person in front threw down the dagger in his hand, turned around, and glared angrily at Jin Shu.
"This is weird! Why can't I find any black crystals!"
