Chapter 1376: Chapter 1376: Misunderstanding
Boom——
Rumble——
Hearing the explosion behind them, Yue Qiguang, Xia Dandan, and everyone else behind them couldn’t help but turn around, instantly stupefied!
Behind them, less than 1000 meters away, the originally very flat main road was the exact center of the explosion. Affected by the explosion, countless dust soared into the sky, along with flying yellow sand and rubble, and a massive deep pit appeared.
This deep pit was very long and wide, directly isolating the army led by Yue Qiguang.
After a brief moment of being stunned, the 7th Battalion quickly realized something:
Bad news!
Their retreat was cut off!
In an instant, chaos erupted within the team!
"What do we do?"
"The supply team is still behind!"
"The logistics team are all behind, they didn’t come through!"
"Commander!"
"What do we do?"
...
In the blink of an eye, the scene turned noisy, with various jumbled voices flooding into Yue Qiguang’s head, and countless pairs of eyes around were all staring at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Yue Qiguang’s face turned dark!
He finally understood what the vague sense of something being off was all about earlier! It was all here!
That fool Sheng Qingyan was actually waiting for him here!
What to do?
For a moment, Yue Qiguang was a bit bewildered, but he tried hard to stabilize his emotions, telling himself to stay calm and quickly calm down!
Amid the billowing smoke and dust, Yue Qiguang stood with his hands behind his back, his slightly arched eyebrows now knitted, taking away some of the fierceness from his handsome but rebellious face.
Xia Dandan and the others did not make a sound.
They were waiting.
Waiting for the Commander’s final decision.
By now, having seized the Northwest Station, which was an ideal location for garrisoning troops, as long as they used this as a base, they could advance north and strike directly into the enemy’s heartland!
However, the enemy’s sudden move had directly severed the retreat of the 7th Battalion, leaving them with no choice but to advance. Retreating could possibly mean facing a fierce attack from the enemy.
Now, should they continue advancing?
Or should they just set up camp here and make a move after they’re ready?
On the screen, everyone was waiting; outside the screen, countless viewers were also waiting for Yue Qiguang’s final decision. For a moment, even the constantly flashing bullet comments fell silent.
Inside the contestants’ dormitory.
Lou sneaked a glance at Ji You, who was sitting quietly, seeing her face devoid of expression, as if totally unfazed by Sheng Qingyan’s surprising move.
Then.
Lou sneaked another glance.
Ji You suddenly said, "If you want to say something, just say it, don’t make it seem like you’re secretly adoring me, it’s creepy."
Lou: "..."
Lou pouted, "Just look at your face, who would have a crush on you?"
Ji You raised her hand and gave him a smile, "Lou, I think your head is a bit big, how about I chop it down a bit?"
Lou’s fingers trembled, and he quickly said, "Forget it, your face is not ugly at all, it looks really nice."
After casually appeasing, Lou quickly said, "Ji You, you actually predicted the same thing as Sheng Qingyan, did you know in advance that Sheng Qingyan would suddenly pull such a move? This is shocking!"
Ji You shook her head, saying, "I didn’t know he would have this move, but if I were him, since I want to lure the enemy into a trap, I would definitely have a plan in place. In such an original battlefield, what’s more effective than directly cutting off the enemy’s retreat?"
"But—" Lou frowned, "This level of explosion, the explosive device used must at least reach the level of a Particle Cannon, when did Sheng Qingyan’s team manage to come up with this?"
Ji You chuckled, "What’s so strange about that? What this world lacks the least is talent and creativity. Your camp’s Sean Bark, have you forgotten? The communication system he came up with, how useful it was! And it was created despite a lack of materials, tools, and equipment."
Hearing this, Lou’s face turned dark.
That thing, their camp didn’t even benefit from it; Ji You ended up getting it. Sean Bark himself must have been furious.
Ji You seemed not to notice Lou’s constipated expression and continued, "And Xie Kui, the talented person who came up with the bomb, if Xie Kui could do it, why couldn’t Sheng Qingyan?"
Lou: "..."
Ji You chuckled, "Speaking of which, your camp is full of technical talents, it’s a pity you lost this time."
Lou: "..."
Lou’s face turned dark again, "Enough already, keep showing off and I’ll beat you to death."
Their camp indeed had many talents, communication base stations, signal towers, bombs... all invented and created by their camp, but what happened?
Everything benefitted the enemy camp in the end.
Thinking about it, Lou could only feel heartbroken.
If only Commander Charles of the 6th Battalion slightly reorganized their forces, put talent to good use, and prevented the team from splitting and segmenting, the 6th Battalion wouldn’t have lost so disastrously.
It’s tragic.
Looking back now, everyone in the 6th Battalion seemed foolish, and Lou felt that he himself looked stupid and dumb in front of the camera.
Ah!
Lou didn’t want to bring it up anymore, glancing sideways at Ji You, he huffed, "I just didn’t expect Sheng Qingyan to have such capabilities!"
As a team commander, Sheng Qingyan seemed like he was doing nothing, always slacking off and taking naps, but his control over the team had not a single flaw.
On the contrary, after eliminating those who didn’t listen or follow orders, he even used them to weaken the enemy’s strength, buying himself time to plan and arrange various matters.
Ji You asked, "You think Spicy Eye has no capabilities?"
Lou froze, "Not exactly, but he’s too lazy. I always thought he was just a tag-along at school."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You said, "You misunderstand Spicy Eye too much, not just you, Yue Qiguang and others, our Combat Department students too all think he’s a person who only moves with a kick, right? Naïve! So naïve! Do you really think he landed a spot in the school’s strong list with Double A Talent, including top ten in last semester’s online competition, just casually?"
Lou opened his mouth: "...But...but he is indeed lazy."
Ji You snorted, "Maybe he secretly works harder than all of you behind the scenes."
Arena.
"Achoo~"
"Achoo~"
"Achoo~" With a sweeping dismissal of his laziness, the now sharp and decisive Sheng Qingyan suddenly sneezed a few times, took a while to steady himself, knit his eyebrows, and pouted, "Who? Who’s so nasty, quietly gossiping about me?"
Beside him, his assistant asked, "Commander, we have successfully cut off the enemy’s retreat, now what should we do?"
Sheng Qingyan pinched his nose, muttered a few words, then upon hearing the assistant’s question, he said, "Ah Guang is so eager to come up and die, let’s grant his wish."
