The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Mobilization

He Nu hasn’t returned?

Ji You’s eyes flashed, but she didn’t show any sign. As everyone gathered around Cheng Haoyue, Ji You asked, ”Zhang Jian, what’s the situation over there?”

Having just climbed out of the river, Cheng Haoyue had no reason to hide his wet clothes because it was justified. His short black hair was still dripping with water, indicating how hurriedly he had rushed.

Hearing the words ”Zhang Jian,” Cheng Haoyue’s mouth twitched, and he said, ”I stealthily moved about 1000 meters, but didn’t find any signs of life.”

Yu Cheng from the enemy camp was a bit anxious and asked, ”What’s the difference between the enemy camp and our place?”

Cheng Haoyue turned to Yu Cheng, the boy with thick black hair, whose head kept bobbing in front of Cheng Haoyue, making his hands itch!

This is a head! A head!

Just a light tap, and I would have 1 point.

Ahem...

Cheng Haoyue tried hard to suppress his excitement and said, ”Not much different, pretty much the same as here, it’s all scorched earth and black ash, not even a proper tree.”

Yu Cheng felt a bit disappointed hearing this and said, ”I thought the enemy camp would be somewhat different.”

Cheng Haoyue asked, ”Do you want to go over and have a look?”

Yu Cheng raised his hand and ran it through his shiny black short hair and said, ”Yes, I do.”

”After all, we have to push our way to the other side.” Yu Cheng ran his hand through his hair again while speaking. He was always proud of his thick, shiny black hair and liked to show it off in front of others from time to time, running his hand through it.

Cheng Haoyue didn’t even glance at Yu Cheng’s hair, but hearing the word ’want,’ his eyes immediately lit up, ”I’ll take you there!”

”Alright.” Ji You glanced at Cheng Haoyue, interrupting his little thought, and asked, ”Did you find the enemy camp? What’s the situation?”

It couldn’t be brought back for execution. Cheng Haoyue was a bit regretful and said, ”I found an enemy team, but didn’t dare to get close. They seem not to be fully staffed, I vaguely saw 5 people.”

”Oh?” Ji You feigned a bright-eyed look.

Not only He Yu, Liu Jia, Wang Xin from their side, but also Xia Bingbing, Yu Cheng from the enemy, and a newly arrived male and female, all were watching Cheng Haoyue.

Xia Bingbing asked, ”Really discovered something?”

Cheng Haoyue curled his lips, slightly annoyed, ”Can I lie to you then?”

Just lying to you!

Somehow, thinking about Xia Bingbing and Yu Cheng being like a flock of ignorant little lambs stepping into a wolf’s den without realizing, Cheng Haoyue felt secretly delighted!

At this moment, Cheng Haoyue felt Ji You’s gaze revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and then heard Ji You say, ”Who’ll have the last laugh isn’t decided yet! What’s there to be so smug about?”

Cheng Haoyue’s face froze, and he muttered, ”Alright, I got it. I’ll be very cautious.”

Ji You said, ”Explain the specifics.”

So, Cheng Haoyue diligently recounted the intelligence, and the others listened attentively.

Ji You touched her chin and said, ”Based on the scouting situation, from here, stealthily moving over would take about 5 minutes. The enemy only has 5 people at the moment; if our squad all strikes, if we can finish in 5 minutes, there’s a chance!”

As Ji You spoke, her eyes grew brighter. The others, especially Yu Cheng, Xia Bingbing, and the other four, had increasingly bright eyes too; while the enemy was unsuspecting, they could launch a fatal strike and flee! It sounded so cool!

The reactions of Yu Cheng and the others were all seen by Ji You, who gave a look to He Yu. He Yu looked a bit bewildered; Ji You helplessly raised her hand to her forehead:

This was like a comic dialogue without a tsukkomi or boke, lacking any atmosphere.

Really—

Such teammates!

Ji You had to keep a serious face and applaud herself, saying, ”But we must also see hidden dangers besides benefits. There’re 5 enemies now; what if reinforcements come during our stealth? We don’t know the specific capabilities of the enemy members... Are there other enemy forces nearby the enemy’s camp?

...

These are what we need to consider.” At this point, Ji You loudly said, ”Yet I believe opportunity comes after crisis! If we don’t take the risk, we’ll always be at the bottom! You, all of you... feel your hearts and ask yourselves—are you willing to be left behind?”

She asked loudly.

No one made a sound, but everyone’s eyes were full of light.

Cheng Haoyue witnessed all of this and couldn’t help but secretly think that it was no wonder this scene felt familiar; earlier, when he ran to the enemy’s stronghold, a similar mobilization occurred!

Ji You said, ”How can we win without fighting?”

”Comfort only leads to death!”

”Fighting might lead to death. But not fighting definitely leads to death! And a death without any value!”

”Don’t you feel suffocated?”

”I feel suffocated.”

”In my opinion, what’s to fear about death? It’s just a competition! No real life would be lost. If some of you are still afraid even if that’s the case, then—

Tell me now, and I’ll send him on his way!” Ji You finished speaking, releasing her aura abruptly.

BOOM—

An overwhelming pressure swept over everyone present!

It was overwhelming!

Dark clouds hung low.

Xia Bingbing, Yu Cheng, and others started feeling breathless...

This!

This terrifying spiritual power!

So strong!

In an instant, Ji You said nothing more, but had already conquered everyone’s hearts.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

This powerful sense of oppression seemed to last long and also seemed to be just a moment. The next second, the intangible pressing fear haunting everyone receded like a tide.

As everyone felt relieved, they heard Ji You firmly say, ”In the eyes of us warriors, there’s no competition, only battle! As long as it’s a battle, it must be all-out!”

”Everyone—are you ready?” Ji You asked Yu Cheng, Xia Bingbing, and the others.

Motivated by the atmosphere, Yu Cheng, Xia Bingbing, and others shouted, ”Ready!”

Xia Bingbing’s heart surged!

She strongly agreed with the monitor’s words: arena, arena, front-line battlefield... they’re all battlefields! Just battlefields!

Friendship first, competition second, absolutely impossible! Stepping in here, there’s only one purpose:

Win!

By all means, win!

Xia Bingbing said, ”I am willing to fight!”

Her strength, her school’s strength, is among the weakest among all schools and students.

This time, Xia Bingbing actually prepared to score zero, yet just as the monitor said, why resign to fate?

Just sitting and waiting for failure, are you willing?

Of course not.

After Xia Bingbing, Yu Cheng withdrew the hand running through his hair and said, ”I’ll go too! I haven’t seen the enemy camp, haven’t smelled their air yet, don’t know if their air is sweeter?”

The other two also scrambled to express their willingness to fight.

Ji You smiled and said, ”Rest assured, follow me, I’ll lead you to victory.”
