Gu Zuozuo nodded, and after removing and sterilizing the last silver needle, she looked at Wang Erzhu.
"Let's go see the other injured people."
After working non-stop until noon the next day, Gu Zuozuo finally rubbed her temples wearily.
Looking at the place filled with patients lying haphazardly, I couldn't help but sigh.
The other side came prepared, using firepower and superpowers to clear a path, almost sweeping through and brazenly abducting people. No wonder so many people died or were injured; their behavior was extremely arrogant.
"Do you want to rest for a while?"
Wang Erzhu also looked pale and sickly; in just one night, the hair at his temples had started to turn white.
"Any news about Fumizuki?"
Wang Erzhu shook his head, so worried he almost scratched his head off.
"No, we don't even have a clue. If we knew which force did it, we could follow the trail and investigate further. But the other party is too cautious and is hiding their tracks, so we don't have any leads at all."
What's even stranger is that no one remembers what they looked like or what their distinguishing features were.
If Xie Jinyu hadn't been injured, he could have used his special ability to find clues. But those people were prepared and injured him so badly that he couldn't even get out of bed, let alone investigate any leads.
Gu Zuozuo paused in rubbing her temples, and her eyes narrowed.
"Commander, do I remember you once marked Cai Wenyue?"
She remembered that for a period of time Cai Wenyue clung to her very much, often ambushing her by taking advantage of her water-based superpowers.
Later, I got so annoyed with her that I had the system mark her location so I could keep track of her status at all times.
As soon as she appears within a kilometer radius of me, I immediately slip away, determined not to give her a chance to pester me.
The familiar screen appeared, and a global map slowly unfolded. Gu Zuozuo's gaze fell on the constantly flashing red dot.
[Host, the red dot is Cai Wenyue's current location. Wow! How did she travel so far in just two days?]
Gu Zuozuo stared at the red dot on the rhinoceros-shaped map, her eyes cold and deep, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips.
"Ha, I was wondering who was so heartless and insane."
So it's an old rival. This country's shamelessness is even greater than that of the island nation, especially in the decades that followed, it was truly shameless to the point of being unbearable to watch.
"Wait a minute. They don't know Wen Yue's situation yet, so they probably won't make a move against her so quickly. Let's wait and see. We'll have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with them!"
★
When he saw Xie Jinyu again, his mental state had calmed down and his body was slowly recovering.
Upon seeing Gu Zuozuo, he merely nodded and turned his gaze back to the list of fallen personnel in his hand.
Gu Zuozuo noticed his hands gripping her thigh tightly and the veins on his neck bulging from suppressed pain. Seeing the sadness all over him, she sat there silently without disturbing him.
“This time, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been careless. I shouldn’t have underestimated my opponents and given them the opportunity to collude with the traitors. It’s not them who deserve to die, it’s me.”
Suddenly, Xie Jinyu, who had been silent all along, spoke, her voice trembling with an undeniable sob.
Xie Jinyu, who was always shrewd and calculating, felt her heart was so aching that it felt like it had been ripped open, and cold air was billowing out.
Gu Zuozuo hadn't noticed at first, but after hearing him finish speaking, she glanced at the list of the fallen and was stunned when she saw that familiar name.
How could this be?!
Snatching the list, Gu Zuozuo stared intently at the familiar name on it, her heart skipping a beat.
"Have the people on this spot been confirmed as truly killed?"
Xie Jinyu, who was immersed in negative emotions, was taken aback by her question. She then looked up at her, nodded, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and her voice became hoarse.
"It has been confirmed."
Gu Zuozuo stared at the line of words and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
[Jiangbei, Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion, sacrificed.]
She had only heard the name yesterday.
Thinking back to yesterday when Meng Tian shyly and timidly told her about Jiangbei, the anticipation, longing, and joy in her eyes, it was so painful to think about now.
She was even preparing yarn, saying she wanted to knit a sweater for Jiangbei herself.
She said that the next time they met, she wanted to confess her feelings to Jiangbei.
She said that they had known for a long time that the other was interested in her.
Gu Zuozuo gripped the order slip so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and her heart began to suffocate.
Meng Tian was the girl who gave her the most gentleness and kindness when she came to this strange world. How could such a gentle person not get what she wanted!
This is the first time she has ever fallen for someone.
Gu Zuozuo's molars were practically grinding together, and for the first time, she felt an urge to tear someone to pieces.
They ruined Meng Tian's dream!
