It was late at night, and most of the soldiers of the Suzaku War Dance Troupe had fallen asleep. As they were about to prepare for the nest battle the next day, they had to get enough rest.
But when many soldiers were resting, there was only one person who could not fall asleep.
At this moment, Mingxi was wearing a light pink ice silk suspender pajamas and a military jacket. She was standing on the balcony of her bedroom, looking at the scenery outside the window.
The soldiers on duty were constantly patrolling, and searchlights flashed from time to time. Even though it was already night, a tense atmosphere still spread within the regiment.
After all, the war was about to begin the next day, and it might be another brutal battle.
Whenever Mingxi thought of that battle, her heart ached. She gently covered her chest, closed her eyes, and calmed her inner fluctuations.
As the leader of a group, she cannot show any weakness at this moment. She must fulfill her responsibilities as a group leader.
The lives of thousands of war dancers are in her hands, and she cannot let her command go wrong because of her emotional fluctuations.
As long as you are a little careless and negligent, countless lives will be lost because of your mistakes.
Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't help but think of the dancers who had fought bloody battles with her.
Every year, Mingxi goes to the martyrs' cemetery on time to sweep the graves of her deceased comrades, bringing them flowers to commemorate their souls in heaven.
If they are lucky, their parents may be able to hold the body and talk to it. If the goddess of luck is not on their side, they can only place their belongings in front of the memorial tablet to comfort their loved ones.
She stood in front of the balcony and prayed for Wu Jie and his group.
She knew that reconnaissance missions were the most dangerous ones, and she felt relieved to let Wu Jie complete it, but she was also worried.
Through the time spent at the base and all that Wu Jie had done for Zhan Wuji, Mingxi thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
Just when he came back yesterday, Wu Jie found some free time and gave himself a list and a blue gem.
Mingxi knew very well how valuable that blue diamond was, and he gave it to her without any selfish motives.
At the same time, Wu Jie also asked the three generals for a large amount of military supplies as necessary to support Zhuque in completing the nest battle.
The supplies listed on that list are all what the Suzaku Group needs most urgently.
Ammunition, new equipment, medical supplies, and more...
Mingxi certainly knew how Wu Jie got it, and for this, she was particularly grateful for everything Wu Jie had done for Suzaku.
Looking at the scenery of the military camp outside the window, Mingxi felt a little complicated at the moment.
"If one day I die on the battlefield, will anyone visit my grave?" Mingxi laughed to himself.
I don’t know what’s happening with Wu Jie’s reconnaissance team now.
It has been two hours since they set out, and they should have been in regular contact, but half an hour ago, the contact was suddenly interrupted, which made Mingxi alert.
According to Wu Jie's discipline, this situation should not have occurred.
Did something happen?
Thinking of this, her heart began to tighten.
How about sending another team out to investigate?
As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. Mingxi's worries are not unreasonable.
According to the rules, if the reconnaissance unit fails to reconnect within two hours after being disconnected for no reason, it will be deemed that an accident has occurred.
The regiment would have to re-strategize, either deciding whether to send out a rescue force or cancel the next day's battle plan.
These are all crucial.
But the disconnection has only been going on for half an hour, which is not even the required 2 hours.
It would be a lie to say Mingxi wasn't worried.
But Wu Jie took away the three strongest teams in the group at once, so nothing should happen, right?
And there are two powerful dancers in Liquid Dancer and Crystal Dancer...
Mingxi picked up her coffee cup, looked at the liquid in the cup, and suddenly smiled. She was about to go to bed, but she was still drinking coffee, so she put the cup on the table.
But at this moment, the coffee cup made a "click" sound, and the originally intact coffee cup actually had a crack!
Mingxi, who has never been superstitious, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
What's going on?
An ominous premonition came over me.
Mingxi became nervous, her eyebrows slightly raised as she paced back and forth on the balcony.
No, no, no.
We must send more people to investigate, just in case something goes wrong...
Mingxi called out, "Suzaku..."
Then, the lights in the room came on, and a gentle motherly voice slowly rang out: "Good evening, Captain Mingxi."
Suzaku is the super-intelligent AI in the base, responsible for all automatic defense tasks in the base, as well as scientific research calculations, military calculations and other functions.
"How long has the reconnaissance team been out of contact?" Mingxi confirmed again.
"Captain Mingxi, based on the last contact time, we have been out of contact for 37 minutes."
Mingxi continued to ask: "What is the statistical probability of survival?"
Suzaku was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, Captain Mingxi, but the survival rate is extremely low. Do you want to continue confirming?"
Very humane, this is the current super AI.
Mingxi still nodded.
Suzaku then replied, "According to the calculations, the survival rate is 0.37%..."
Mingxi was completely silent...
Then she raised her head sharply: "No more waiting! Immediately wake up the fourth, fifth, and sixth combat teams, form a rescue force, and set off immediately!"
Suzaku: "Instructions received, wake up the members immediately."
After a pause, Suzaku suddenly replied, "Sorry, Captain Mingxi, the order to wake up the members has been canceled."
Mingxi was stunned, this was the first time Suzaku had disobeyed his orders.
She was a little angry. It turned out that AI was not smart enough and could not execute her orders as thoroughly as a soldier!
"Suzaku, don't you understand my orders? I told you to wake up the fourth, fifth, and sixth combat teams and form a rescue force!"
Mingxi was now completely focused on Wu Jie's reconnaissance team. She glanced at the cracked coffee cup and for some reason felt a palpitation.
She could only pray desperately in her heart that her fantasy would not become reality.
Suzaku still replied, "I'm sorry, Captain Mingxi, I can't carry out your orders."
Mingxi immediately put on his clothes and said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "Can't execute it? Fine, I'll go wake him up myself!"
At this moment, Suzaku said, "Captain Mingxi, Commander Wu's reconnaissance team just sent back new contact information, so I canceled your order for the additional rescue team. Please forgive me."
Mingxi was immediately furious when he heard this. "You idiot, could you please stop panting when you speak?"
