CHAPTER XVI
"Why did you come to me to discuss such a thing? It's not my responsibility. www.biquge.info I'm just a temporary acting squad leader, and all I need to do is do what I'm supposed to do. You can't afford to expect a grassroots commander of a field unit to do ...... This kind of work of a defensive nature. β
If Ge Chengzhi had really been a grassroots soldier, he would surely realize how incompatible his current words were with the "grassroots commander" he emphasized. If he really has the quality of a part of the "grassroots commander", it is impossible for Mianyue Yiji, who is much higher than him in the command level, to say such things in the face of this important VIP who needs to be escorted now. It is a pity that he is only a person who has been engaged in relevant "special work" for a long time, and it is clear that the understanding of "loyalty" in that department is different from that of the army.
"Don't pretend to me anymore, Ge Chengzhi. You and I both know who you really are. With a look of intent on a complete showdown, Mianyue Yiji used the scalpel in her hand to play a trick as a sign of some kind of threat, "I don't know your mission, and I'm not too interested. But, I know you're good at that. I want you to plan a route for us to get to the target location. I don't want any more turmoil on the road - like what happened here today. β
Speaking of what happened today, Ge Chengzhi also felt very surprised. He could not imagine a man who could come and go at the temporary location of the troops and successfully carry out the assassination of one of the four main escorts...... Female Assassins, that sounds like some kind of story from an ancient novel. If it weren't for Mianyue Yiji suppressing the matter and letting the company commander and the higher-level commanders know about this matter, many people might have to be punished for this, which is also unfavorable to Ge Chengzhi's work......
"Can I leave this to you? I want a clear answer. β
ββ¦β¦ Sorry, young lady. With a regretful expression on his face, Ge Chengzhi shook his head, and then opened his individual combat unit, "This is really not my responsibility. If you need help, the nearest staff is located in ......"
"That's enough, Ge Chengzhi!" slammed the table, making everything on the table tremble twice, and Mianyue Yiji's anger was obvious. Soon, however, she suppressed her anger again, "...... You know, it's not without benefit to do me this favor. In any case, I am also the supreme commander of the Lunar Capital Defense Force. What are your requirements...... If you have any requirements, I can assist you with them. β
I finally waited for what I wanted to hear. With a slightly straightened face, Ge Chengzhi put down the individual combat unit in his hand and put on a serious thinking look: "Even if you say so...... It's still difficult for me to do things like route planning. You see, it was under my command that this situation came into being. This gave me a full and deep understanding of my own level......"
"What do you mean?" Sensing that although his tone was a little looser, Ge Chengzhi still bit some ambiguities to express his attitude of refusal, Mianyue Yiji's eyebrows furrowed more and more fiercely, "What do you want to do?" I'll put it on the table and explain it clearly, otherwise I won't understand anything!"
ββ¦β¦ I would like to be granted the right to meet with Commander Ouyang Pingshui alone. I can assure you that there is no threat to the Commander's safety, and I just wish to hear something from him. Feeling almost, Ge Chengzhi closed his eyes and said to Mianyue Yiji in a very small voice, "I hope you can fight for this opportunity for me." β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't this your official mission?" Soon, Mianyue Yiji, who was relatively sensitive to this aspect, immediately understood what Ge Chengzhi meant, "What do you want to do?"
"No, of course it's our official task. But this is on the territory of the moon capital, and the people who are responsible for guarding it are all the people of the moon capital. Shrugging his shoulders, Ge Chengzhi told a lie very dryly-anyway, with the information that the other party has obtained now, this lie is impossible to discern at all, "This is China's own internal business, so we don't want Yuedu to get involved." β
"Hmm, it's your own business......
Ge Chengzhi dared to pack the ticket, and the female leopard on the other side, who seemed to be eyeing her prey, would definitely find a way to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and Commander Ouyang. Licking his lips, he waited patiently for Mizuki Yiki's answer. Finally, the other party still compromised: "Okay." However, I hope there will be no more accidents along the way - and if they do, you will have to deal with them as quickly as possible. β
"I want you to be reassured about that. Although I'm not a professional," making his eyebrows raise a little funny, Ge Chengzhi accentuated the five words "not professional" in a deliberately lying tone, "However, I will definitely do my best." β

ββ¦β¦ You've been saved by him again. β
Under Marisa's correct emergency treatment, Ouyang Pingshui seemed to be out of the most dangerous situation, but he was still in a coma. In order to cooperate with the corresponding treatment, Marisa had to run with the first responders to a nearby field hospital to explain the condition of the wounded. When she came out of the ward, she was already a little tired, but suddenly saw Reimu and Sanae outside. Because she didn't expect the two of them to follow her, Marisa was stunned for a moment, but when she was about to step forward to say hello, she heard Reimu say this coldly.
This made her subconsciously hide. After all, the current atmosphere between those two people really didn't look like they could come up and say hello happily.
"Well, yes. β
Sanae's answer was still powerless, and the expression on her face was as if she was having a stomachache. Throwing herself into the other party's position and pondering it carefully, Marisa immediately understood Sanae's pain, and began to secretly blame herself for why she hadn't noticed these things earlier: Sanae's feelings for Xiaowei were a bit extreme, and now that Xiaowei has disappeared from her side, and there is such an admirer who has almost given her life twice, no matter what she chooses, it seems to be extremely cruel......
"It's really a situation that can make people's stomachs hurt unbearably......" Sensing that Sanae was a little pitiful, Marisa lowered her head and muttered to herself.
"I feel like you should try to pick him up. At the very least, stop putting on this cold rejection. It just means that you don't have confidence: you can't trust yourself to hold on to the relationship. Sighing, Lingmeng said slowly, "This is really unfair, whether it is for Ouyang Pingshui or Xiaowei." You shouldn't be afraid of this opportunity to test your feelings. β
"I ......" seemed to be speechless, Sanae moved her lips, and finally only spit out a word, and then closed her mouth again without saying a word. After a long silence, she shook her head and turned around, as if intending to leave.
"At least wait until he wakes up and says thank you to him before leaving," compared to Sanae's limp steps, Reimu's steps seemed extra firm, and easily surpassed the former, leaving only this sentence with his back, "It should be regarded as a charity for that man." β
Sanae was shaking, shaking so badly, Marisa could clearly see that. A tangled uncomfortable mood slowly surfaced: she didn't know if she should stop Sanae from sticking to her attitude of ignoring Ouyang Pingshui. Marisa knew that for the puritanical religious love that Sanae had, once it began to break up, it would eventually become nothingβa feeling that was extremely strong and extremely fragile. In other words, Reimu's words were clearly "bewitching" her......
But at the same time, it will certainly be able to free her from pain. Maybe it can make her happy. Happiness......
For a moment, Marisa suddenly felt the strangeness of these two words and made her yearn for them. Looking back on her past experience, these two words are obviously getting farther and farther away from her: after the outbreak of the war, she felt that it was a kind of happiness to go to the shrine every day to eat and meet Xiaowei by the way; after arriving in Sydney, she felt that although there was a war, it was really happy to be able to fight side by side with Xiaowei, and there was a place called "Gensokyo" waiting for her to go back; and now, she even felt that no matter how hard the previous days were, at least she could still see that familiar figure. Now, even that person is gone.
"It's really worse than one day......" Finally, the words of discouragement that she had been desperately trying to avoid all this time still leaked out of her mouth. Sitting down against the wall, Marisa scratched her hair, which seemed to be soft and beautiful even though it hadn't been taken care of in a while, and felt particularly distressed, "It's really not getting worse by the day......
But I have to pick myself up. Slapping her cheeks with both hands, Marisa tried to recover from her depression through this external stimulus. There is still a long way to go, if it really stops because of this incident, Xiaowei will not let me go. Okay, first of all, I'll have to ask Reimu. What exactly does she want to do?
Moreover, her eyes, which showed a completely different marksmanship and knife skills from those on the surface of the moon before, seemed to mean something......
"Isn't it true that I'm the only normal person out of the three now?" Saying this to the wall, Marisa suddenly shook her head again and laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's not right, I'm not a normal person...... I can't even cry, how can I be a normal person?"
As she said this, as if she was unwilling, Marisa clutched the bottle of eye drops that now kept her eyes from going blind from damn dry eyes.

In any case, the guard work of the third shift this time will not be as hard as it was in the moon table before. For the sake of having reached the safety zone, they managed to get the support of three armored vehicles, and the one sandwiched in the middle was specially used to transport the important people. It's just that for Ouyang Pingshui, what makes people happy is not that he is about to meet his grandfather and grandmother, who he hasn't seen for a long time, nor that he has enough space for three people in the car because of his injury, but just after he woke up yesterday, it seems that - he can't be sure - Sanae, who has been sitting next to the hospital bed, finally said something to him that he didn't even dream that he could not hear:
"Tomorrow...... It's going to the most prosperous area of the moon capital, right? Can you take me for a walk?"
This seemingly insignificant gift alone was enough to make the Heavy ecstatic. And Ouyang Pingshui is not the kind of person who will hide his emotions, whether it is Juniper or Shen Donghui today, the first thing he said when he saw him was:
"Why are you so happy today? Is it because you're going home?"
β¦β¦ If you insist on saying it, going home will make Ouyang Pingshui feel a headache. He felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of what might happen when he got home. If he could not go home, he might have preferred to stay on the battlefield: to outsiders, this may only be seen as a rebellious mentality of young people, but this is not the case at all.
After all, Ouyang Pingshui's home is really special......
"Obviously I was very happy yesterday, why do you suddenly sigh again?" Looking at Ouyang Pingshui's appearance, Shen Donghui smiled and patted Ouyang Pingshui's shoulder, "If you let me guess...... Last night, that goddess of yours promised you to go on a date with you, so you were so happy, and today you start to worry about what to wear on a date, so you start sighing?"
About...... Isn't that a date? She's probably just trying to say thank you in person because I saved her twice!
His face turned red all of a sudden, Ouyang Pingshui hugged the machine gun in his arms tightly, and shook his head desperately without saying a word. At the same time, Juniper, who was sitting on the other side, buckled his nose with his little thumb: "I don't think it's very likely." If Pingshui still doesn't reveal his identity, it will be absolutely impossible for the person who wants to have a figure, a figure, a look, and be so capable of fighting. Although it is said that Pingshui gave up his life to save her twice, but what a beautiful woman...... Maybe it's time to look at Pingshui as a spare tire for good calling. β
"Don't be so sinister, I don't think the other person is quite kind. β
"Hey, now that the army is in chaos, stupid people basically can't survive, how can there be such a good thing. Waving his hand to show disbelief, Juniper said, "By the way, if you want to see the commander today, how about you introduce me to Pingshui?"
"Grandpa's words......" After thinking for a while, Ouyang Pingshui glanced at Shen Donghui, and then nodded, "I should also let him get to know my friend......
My friend...... But friends should help each other, but now I just accept help from others every day, and I have never done anything myself. It feels really guilty.
"In this case, what kind of person is Commander Ouyang?" As soon as he heard Ouyang Pingshui agree to his request, Juniper immediately smiled, "How about telling us, Pingshui?"
"You've asked more than thirty times......"
Just when Ouyang Pingshui rarely expressed his dissatisfaction head-on, the Type 04 armored car they were riding in suddenly began to fire, which startled the people in the car and immediately picked up their weapons:
"What's going on!?There are enemies!?"
"Don't panic, don't panic! The convoy should start to accelerate now, and if necessary, it may enter 'submarine' mode or get off the car halfway through!" At the same time, the voice of the squad leader Gedai came from the microphone inside the vehicle, "Everything is in the predetermined plan...... Well, the suspicious target has been expelled. Keep moving. β
"So fast?" Juniper couldn't help but ask in surprise at the sudden words of the squad leader just now, "Isn't the convoy attacked?"
"The current route of the convoy is ...... The safest one. Regarding Juniper's words, Ouyang Pingshui shook his head and expressed his opinion, "Without a suitable place to lay a bomb, it is also difficult to sneak attack...... It's all, an open place...... It's just going to be a little far away...... I've been protected a lot and I'm familiar with the neighborhood...... Forced by that woman...... So know. β
"Originally, this was within our control, so it was safe enough, but did we choose the safest road in the safe zone?" Touching his chin, Shen Donghui asked thoughtfully, "But, what about this road...... I feel that even if you are as familiar with the neighborhood as Pingshui, it is not easy to think of this road as a 'safe route', after all, the first impression is that it is 'too far away', but in fact there are many ...... in the close route."
"That should be the route that Yuedu asked their team to design. Juniper didn't pay much attention to this, just shrugged his shoulders, "Adopt the absolute principle of putting safety first." β
"Well, I guess so...... There are hidden dangers on the nearest road. Only those who are more familiar with security can see it all......"
"In other words, it's an expert who is doing it, an expert in security. Nodding, Shen Donghui suddenly smiled, "It seems that you don't have to worry about the safety of your goddess this time, Pingshui." β
