"Have you really turned into an immortal?"
Gu Tong just gave a faint smile and said nothing.
Earlier, she had roughly observed the situation of each team. The arrangent of trainees was definitely based on combat strength. Judging from their combat position, it was the closest to the hillside.
If it were her as the officer, she would have placed the weaker teams in front. With such an arrangent, it’s not hard to deduce.
However, it’s clear that Gu Tong didn’t want to fully expose her strength. Revealing too much would only raise more suspicion.
Lan Siming was already deeply suspicious; who can guarantee others won’t be too? Among the special trainees, there’s bound to be soone like a "little devil," and she didn’t want more trouble.
The off-road vehicle passed through the front of the forest and soon reached their destination.
The driver dropped them off here and drove away, without any intention of lingering.
The stillness of the forest was disrupted only by the soft rustle of the wind through the leaves.
Gu Tong held the map in one hand, eyes sharp as she began to confirm their direction. She almost imdiately took out a compass, and said: "Northeast direction, one kiloter from the enemies’ battle territory, the probability of an attack within twenty minutes is eighty percent!"
The eighty percent she ntioned was already nearly a hundred. Given the unfavorable geographical position, there was no reason for the other squads not to take action.
"So what do we do now..." Yang Yun was completely out of ideas and quickly sought Gu Tong’s help. At so point, Gu Tong had already beco her backbone.
"Ambush!"
Offense is the best defense, but this only holds true in individual battles. In team battles, everyone has gear; even if Electromagnetic Wave is just a color bullet that doesn’t hurt, once hit, it’s declared as death and failure.
"There’s no suitable spot for an ambush around here," Geng Yifan furrowed his brow, finding it a bit challenging.
Of course, he asked this question only after affirming Gu Tong’s suggestion.
"We can hide in the trees; they would never expect soone to set an ambush at such a short range, catch them off guard and attack!"
This was indeed a good plan and doable, but...
"Why must we listen to a female trainee?" Finally, soone couldn’t hold back anymore. He was the other male in the team—Shang Qimin, saying: "Earlier on the car, I wanted to say, she’s not an immortal, nor a vanguard officer. Is her analysis undoubtedly correct? If we mistakenly follow this deploynt, who will take responsibility for the team’s loss if anything goes wrong?"
"I support Shang Qimin’s opinion. I also believe that baseless assumptions are unreliable."
The last male, Fang Liqiang, spoke up. He too had held back for a long ti, saying: "Yifan, I know why you trust her. Isn’t it just because she got an A-grade evaluation? But haven’t you thought about it? She’s a parachute trainee, definitely with connections. Don’t you have any doubts about her A-grade origin?"
His words were sowhat harsh, with a hint of personal attack.
Yuan Jianlan was imdiately displeased, angrily saying: "What’s wrong with being a girl? Can’t girls go to war? Hua Mulan was also a girl, yet she still replaced her father in the army. How can you, as a trainee, have discriminatory thoughts against won?"
"I have no intention of discriminating against won. I’m just stating the facts! If she has strong connections and can afford to lose, we only have one chance. If we have to trust a woman’s command just based on an A-grade judgnt, I don’t agree!"
"Agree or not, the minority should obey the majority. If you don’t agree, go fight alone!" Yuan Jianlan, when fierce, couldn’t be stopped, let alone when she absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to talk about her friend that way.
Indeed, though her ti with Gu Tong had been short, Yuan Jianlan had already regarded Gu Tong as a close friend at heart.
