The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 1297: A Well-Known Opponent
On our side, Ji You managed to infiltrate and wipe out two squads and a military base, which means she must have placed some people within our camp...
Lou couldn’t guarantee whether the ’Wei Yun’ in front of him was an enemy, so he was extremely cautious and didn’t believe everything just because of a few words from the other party.
Lou asked, "Message? What message?"
Wei Yun thought for a moment, then repeated Ji You’s words verbatim, and continued, "That’s what she meant. She said she has planted many people in our camp and will definitely capture our Commander alive soon."
"Hiss~"
"What a big mouth."
"Arrogant!"
"Does she really think we’re dead?"
"Am I just decoration?"
...
The students behind Lou were all young people, top students from school, and how could young people not be hot-blooded? Hearing Wei Yun’s relayed message, they all got riled up!
"Damn!"
"This Ji You, I’ll take care of her! I want to capture her alive and then, in front of everyone, use her face as an insole!"
"Leave her to me. Not only will I use her face as an insole, but I’ll also shave her head, peel her skin, and make a ball for my dog to play with..."
"You... you guys are too ruthless, I’m more peaceful, I just want to drink wine with her blood."
"Hiss~ you guys..."
"You’re all so cruel, I’m a person who loves peace, so when you kill her, I’ll just clap on the side and cheer."
...
Lou always tried to maintain his cool and composed demeanor, rarely engaging in small talk with his teammates, and didn’t participate in their bragging and chatting. He kept a stern face, showing a cold expression, but hearing his teammates chatter behind him, his mouth twitched slightly, and a corner of his icy demeanor crumbled.
Lou slightly turned his head, subtly glanced at the few who said they’d use Ji You’s face as an insole, make a ball out of her skin for their dog to play with, and drink wine with her blood...
Lou felt a mix of emotions, thinking to himself: [You iron fools, do you even know who Ji You is? Ji You is not someone you can mess with. If she finds out, none of you will live to see the sunrise tomorrow.]
Then.
A person behind suddenly asked, "Squad Leader, what about you? If you capture Ji You alive, what will you do with her?"
Lou: "..."
Can’t this lousy topic leave me out of it?
Lou’s face turned slightly darker, then he composed himself, exuding an aura that commanded respect without anger, and said, "Put away these random fantasies, be down-to-earth, and when you catch Ji You, then talk about this."
The teammates laughed and got back to being serious.
Crouching on the ground, listening intently to Lou and the others talking, Wei Yun finally confirmed that this group was indeed from Camp 6, her own people. She felt a sense of relief, as the tension in her heart eased.
Next.
Wei Yun heard the Squad Leader above say, "Explain everything Ji You’s people did at your post."
Wei Yun immediately replied, "Yes."
Since they were her own people, she changed her previous attitude, actively cooperating and recounting everything related to Ji You, in detail.
After listening, Lou fell silent.
Others also fell silent.
Someone couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! Too cunning, isn’t she?"
"Our squad was wiped out just like that?"
"The people of the 6th squad didn’t die in vain."
"Almost all of the 6th squad are dead, right?"
"How tragic..."
...
Lou’s expression changed repeatedly. He pressed his lips and said, "This is something she would do!"
Wei Yun was slightly surprised, "Captain Lou, do you know her?"
Lou kept a straight face, expressionlessly saying, "Oh—didn’t I tell you guys? Ji You is my classmate."
Everyone: "!!!"
Students behind Lou, who greatly trusted him, only now understood why Captain Lou was so persistent in pursuing an enemy named ’Ji You’. It turned out they were classmates!
Thus, everyone suddenly had more confidence in Lou!
This Ji You is very cunning and formidable. No one knows her real situation, but since Lou is her classmate, he must know her well.
This was also an advantage for their side.
...
On the other side.
Ji You circled back to her own camp, heard Cheng Haoyue’s report, and raised an eyebrow, asking, "No one came over?"
Cheng Haoyue frowned and said, "Not a soul, not even a mosquito."
Upon retreating from the enemy camp, he noticed some spies coming to gather intelligence. According to plan, Cheng Haoyue and the others didn’t bother with them, pretending to be oblivious. The spies would certainly report the information immediately...
According to the original plan, the enemy camp would surely lead a large group to our camp to seize the signal box.
Meanwhile, on our camp’s side, while Ji You led He Yu and others to infiltrate the enemy camp and create chaos, Cheng Haoyue, along with the remaining teammates and several other joined squads, built many traps.
These traps, systematically arranged according to design, were laid out in our camp. At a critical moment, they could wipe out the enemy without losing a single soldier.
Cheng Haoyue was sure that as soon as the enemy came, they would have no return!
But!
No one!
Not a single enemy showed up.
Cheng Haoyue was so frustrated.
Ji You, upon hearing Cheng Haoyue, didn’t show any displeasure nor any trace of anxiety. She casually knocked on the stone beside her with her hand.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
...
Cheng Haoyue endured, couldn’t resist, and directly asked, "Ji You, aren’t you even a bit worried?"
Ji You looked up and asked, "Worried about what?"
Cheng Haoyue frowned and said, "Not a single enemy took the bait! Wouldn’t our traps be in vain?" These traps took a massive effort, nearly causing them to lose their hair while setting them up.
If wasted? Cheng Haoyue couldn’t fathom how heartbreaking it would be.
Ji You replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, waiting for the rabbit requires patience, don’t rush. When the time comes, the enemy will surely deliver themselves."
The original plan for over a hundred heads wasn’t delivered on time, suggesting there was a hiccup on the enemy’s side, stopping those rabbits from coming to die. Who could it be?
Hmm~
Lou was the most likely candidate.
Then, Ji You stood up and suddenly asked, "By the way, are you guys hungry?"
Cheng Haoyue shook his hand, "You still care about this?"
Ji You said, "Food is fundamental. If you don’t eat, you’ll starve. Eating is the top priority!"
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Ji You didn’t mention that the reason she wasn’t worried was because — though Lou knew her well, she knew Lou equally well.
