Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Kiddo, is that you?
Gu Jue’s cold and detached gaze betrayed no other emotion.
To the left and right within the screen, Su Wan’s squad was handling everything with ease, facing no danger whatsoever.
White Tiger continued to whisper in the headset, "That Lin Yu, he’s the one who used to have a crush on the madam, right?"
The look in Gu Jue’s eyes remained calm.
He saw on the screen that Wanwan treated Lin Yu the same as the other squad members.
There was concern, there was care.
But there was no extra emotion beyond that for a comrade.
He was actually a bit jealous.
After all, that person had once expressed his affection for Wanwan.
Lately, he had even joined squad nine and became her subordinate.
But he was well-behaved, straightforward, never saying or doing anything out of line.
Just as Wanwan wished.
That person had retreated back into the realm of friends.
Gu Jue, "I do care, but I don’t want to break her wings."
White Tiger blinked in confusion for a few seconds.
Break wings?
That’s not right, the madam is a Mermaid, not a bird; where would she have wings?
But then, it understood.
What the master meant was, he would unconditionally support the madam in whatever she wants to do.
White Tiger murmured to itself, "Is this what human feelings are like? So, I shouldn’t insist on marrying Vermilion Bird anymore?"
Although it had been insisting for over three years, Vermilion Bird hadn’t agreed to it QAQ

Squad nine had once again successfully navigated through the Storm Zone.
Now, 20 hours had passed since they entered the assessment field, and they had encountered three types of extreme weather.
In addition, they came across three types of mutated plants, four types of aggressive Star Beasts, and two types of delicious Star Beasts... cough cough.
While everyone watching the screen was surprised at this scene,
let’s not forget that Su Wan was someone who even ate Insect Beasts.
So eating Star Beasts was not a big deal at all, okay?
Even the ways of cooking were more plentiful.
Watching the ninth squad on the screen, Eric said, "I finally understand why so many people wanted to join Su Wan’s squad. If possible, I’d like to go too!"
Look, the members of Squad Nine have all gained weight!
Following their captain, there’s meat to eat all the time; how could they not gain weight?
That girl Pandora even seems to have grown taller!
Seeing the genuine envy and jealousy in Eric’s eyes, Li Rui’s lips twitched.
"Even if you join Squad Nine, demoting three ranks wouldn’t be enough."
"Why?"
"Because by that time, they’d still think you’re old."
"QAQ..."
In fact, Eric wasn’t old; he wasn’t even forty yet.
Among the Beastmen, this was certainly young and promising.
But those Interstellar Warriors on the screen fighting with the Star Beasts were all in their twenties, full of vigor...
Eric touched the non-existent wrinkles at the corner of his eyes, suddenly feeling sentimental.
"Wuwuwu, I suddenly miss the days when we first became Interstellar Warriors."

The ninth squad led by Su Wan was now venturing into the frozen world.
Snow Domain Glacier.
This was also their final challenge.
And in terms of time, less than twenty-four hours had passed since they had entered the assessment area.
Their squad was also the fastest in progress!
Not a single member had fallen behind.
Because earlier, Su Wan had told Lin Yu and Qiao to conserve their strength,
even at this point, the two of them were still keeping up without falling behind.
They were still fulfilling their roles in the team as analysts and medics well.
Pandora was even more so; she seemed to be on an adrenaline rush, always the first to rush forward whenever a Star Beast or a mutated plant appeared.
One time, it was even more exaggerated.
Just as seven or eight rhino beasts came out, planning to attack them.
But Pandora drew her sword and charged forward, actually managing to scare them into turning tail and running!
In the end, Pandora caught up with them and chopped down two heads, which they then roasted and ate.
The ground was covered in ice, looking solidly frozen.
But every now and then, cracking sounds could be heard.
Signaling that this path was definitely not going to be smooth.
Su Wan had been reminding her teammates to watch their step, yet she was the first to halt.
Sheng An: "Xiaowan, what’s wrong?"
Su Wan clutched her stomach and frowned in suspicion, "I think I’m hungry again."
Sheng An: "I still have some nutrient supplements."
Su Wan shook her head: "It shouldn’t be, we just roasted and ate the cumin rhino beast, and I had the little cake I brought."
No matter what, she shouldn’t be hungry again so soon.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Sheng An quickly asked Qiao to come and check on Su Wan’s body.
Their team consequently took an impromptu break.
Although keeping time was important.
Su Wan’s health was more important!
The team had suddenly stopped, causing Pandora to be taken aback, "Why aren’t we moving?"
Sheng An: "Xiaowan is not feeling well."
Pandora: "Ah, then let me carry her!"
After hundreds of missions together, the whole Ninth Squad had come to regard Su Wan as their core pillar.
Hearing that she wasn’t feeling well, even Pandora was a bit panicked.
Sheng An: "Let Qiao check Xiaowan first."
Meanwhile, the people in the main control room.
They also noticed that the leading team of the Ninth Squad of the Eighth Starship Fleet had come to a halt.
Aside from leaving Alex in charge of the lookout, everyone else gathered around Su Wan.
Gu Jue’s gaze darkened.
The nearby Eric couldn’t help but speak up, "Hey, why have they stopped? Could it be that Su Wan is injured?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he got a fierce kick from Li Rui standing beside him.
Eric was just about to retaliate.
But when he turned his head, he saw the worried look in Commander Gu’s eyes.
He immediately covered his mouth.
At the same time, Adolf and others also began to get nervous.
All the examiners and staff in the control room couldn’t help but pay attention to Su Wan.
First, her squad was performing the best and was at the forefront.
Second, she was Commander Gu’s wife!
Adolf felt a bit uneasy and subconsciously grabbed at his hair.
As a result, he saw three strands fall out...o(╥﹏╥)o
Fortunately, after about fifteen minutes, the Ninth Squad started moving again.
Qiao had given Su Wan a temporary check-up, testing the various data of her body.
"Captain, there’s nothing wrong with your body. Besides being hungry, do you feel anything else?"
Su Wan carefully considered.
She said: "I also feel a bit tired."
Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, "You’ve basically had no rest for a day and a night; it’s normal to be tired. How about we stop and let you rest for a while?"
Su Wan shook her head.
If none of her teammates were lagging, how could she...
However, as Su Wan’s gaze swept over Qiao and then Lin Yu, she suddenly froze.
She was a Super S-class Beastman.
Even if she was evolved later in life, to some extent, even if all the other members of the squad were tired, Su Wan shouldn’t feel tired!
Su Wan suddenly realized something.
Cautiously, imperceptibly, she placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
Baby, is that you?
While Su Wan insisted on not stopping, everyone was still worried about her health.
In the end, Pandora, without saying a word, walked over and squatted down in front of Su Wan.
"I’ll carry you."
