5th Battalion.
A heavy guard has been placed at the military base of the 5th Group, but Lou was sowhat uneasy after thinking it over, because the opponent was Ji You. So... Lou imdiately said, "I’ll go personally."
Wei Yun was stunned: "Squad Leader, you’re going personally?"
Lou nodded: "I must personally oversee."
Wei Yun looked around and said, "Then what about here?" The food is hidden in the military base of the 5th Group. This is a top-secret piece of information, even Wei Yun had just heard Captain Louis say it himself. Others are even less aware. Guarding the food is, of course, important, but the current location has a crucial military strategic position. If this place is lost, then it would an losing a natural military fortress for our side.
Lou was decisive, without hesitation or explaining the sinister nature of Ji You to Wei Yun, he said: "I must go and check personally. You stay here to guard, rember, once you notice anything unusual, or if any situation arises that you can’t handle, fire the signal flare imdiately." This signal flare is not the commonly used equipnt weapon of the interstellar era, rather it was custom-made by Lou because limited materials were available. They only managed to create sothing similar to Ancient Earth’s fireworks—the flaw being that it’s highly visible and not discreet. But the prominent advantage is the loud explosion sound and vivid fireworks in the dark night.
He instructed Wei Yun this way, hoping Wei Yun could alert him at the first opportunity.
Wei Yun heard this, responding solemnly: "Squad Leader, rest assured."
She had suffered a loss at Ji You’s hands once and would not be deceived again. Ever since Ji You personally freed her and then departed, Wei Yun had prepared herself for their next encounter—to take Ji You’s head.
Wei Yun clenched her fist secretly: Certainly!
After arranging other matters, Lou was unwilling to delay further and quickly set off. At this ti, the temperature had dropped to minus 22 degrees, still bearable by the human body. Those who accompanied him had weaker Physical Strength than Lou, shivering throughout their swift journey. Lou himself was not much better off, with the wind painfully cutting his face, and the cold creeping up from his soles, continually attacking him...
The cold wind continued to blow...
Despite their efforts to accelerate, limited by the extre cold, their advance was slow. A girl gritted her teeth, shivering, and couldn’t help but voice, "Squad Leader, why do we have to go out in such weather? The enemy you ntioned might not co out now."
"No," Lou asserted firmly, "She will definitely co out."
Saying this, Lou added, "Even if others can’t, she definitely can."
Captain Louise Carter was wary of this girl nad Ji You to such an extent the girl found it hard to understand: "Even if she endures the extre weather herself, can her teammates do the sa? She must also consider others’ circumstances, right?"
"Ah?" Lou’s deanor hardened, his tone raising slightly as he replied, "My classmate often turns impossibilities into possibilities. What may seem unfeasible inside, she can transform it, altering various impossible outcos."
After hearing this, the girl couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, "In that case, what chance do we have to defeat her?"
Lou suddenly froze.
With one sentence, the girl verbalized his hidden concern—could it be that he really cannot surpass Ji You?
Perhaps not?
But never before succeeded.
Moreover, the gap between them was becoming wider and wider.
How could he catch up to Ji You?
...
Many thoughts and chaotic emotions flickered incessantly in his mind, yet Lou’s footsteps didn’t stop, the cold wind still stung his face, leaving bloodstained marks...
The uncertainty, lack of confidence, and bewildernt in Lou’s eyes grew clearer with the gusts of wind and the body’s chill:
Don’t admit defeat.
Never admit defeat.
No matter who Ji You is.
Just charge ahead.
If fear of Ji You as an opponent leads to self-doubt, then one shouldn’t have boldly stepped onto the battlefield...
Ji You is strong, so strong that even going all out seems to be beyond catching up, but no matter! What Lou must do is surpass himself, break through himself, and steadily tread each step on the path ahead.
Lou reaffird his conviction, looked at the girl, and smiled: "She’s human, not a god, and not sothing to be afraid of. As long as we believe in ourselves, we can certainly defeat her."
The girl hearing Lou’s words also smiled and said, "Exactly. I always believe in us."
Since following Lou’s ’rebellion,’ Lou’s team had expanded from an initial small team of a few people to several squads, with hundreds of people, having the power to openly challenge the 5th Battalion’s Commander Charles!
Now, they just need to follow Lou’s pace to achieve victory.
It wasn’t just the girl; others also solidified their resolve.
Within the expected ti, they arrived at the military base of the Fifth Group. Here, defenses were extrely tight. Lou and his team were discovered from 5000 ters away.
This pleased Lou because, even as he sped toward the 5th Group with a squad, they were careful to conceal their presence. The closer they got to the military base, the more cautious they beca. Yet, despite this, they were still detected by the guards, indicating the guards were doing a good job.
Lou revealed his identity and entered the interior of the military base. After listening to the student in charge at the base report on the work, Lou frowned and said, "So within the monitoring range, no trace of the enemy was found?"
The one responsible was a male student, who nodded imdiately and said, "Yes, everything is normal, no signs of anything amiss." Inside the entire military base and within his jurisdiction, he had been watching vigilantly. Under his surveillance, even if a mosquito flew in, it would pass under his gaze...
Enemy?
No.
Suspicious personnel?
None.
With one hand, Lou tapped the table and said, "Continue to keep a strict watch."
The base person in charge said, "Yes."
After speaking, this male student responsible at the base looked at Lou with a slightly hesitant expression, to which Lou said, "Speak."
The person in charge said, "Before you ca, Commander Charles sent soone over to see , offering a chance. As long as I and the 5th Group under return, he will overlook everything that happened before."
Upon hearing this, Lou’s face remained unchanged as he replied, "Oh—then you may leave."
Responsible person: "!!!"
