Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Cannon Fodder Ji You?

...

Underneath the charred stone, He Yu, with a layer of ash smeared on her cheek, exposed two round eyes. Behind her was Liu Jia, also staring wide-eyed.

At this moment, the two looked at each other in surprise because, less than 10 centimeters behind them, a person was curled up, eyes closed, mouth slightly open, sleeping soundly!

This person was still the Boss they had acknowledged themselves.

He Yu hesitated for a long time, finding it very difficult to speak: "Um..."

Liu Jia straightened his face: "No ’um’, wait, wait until she wakes up."

He Yu raised her hand, wiped her face, and the ashen face was quite uncomfortable. She really couldn’t understand why she followed Ji You’s lead and smeared ash on her face so irrationally.

At the time, He Yu asked Ji You why. What was Ji You’s answer again? Ji You said: "I am afraid someone might recognize my face, just in case, better cover it up first."

Liu Jia quietly complained on the side: "What’s the point of covering it? On the battlefield, people shorter than you are rarer than dinosaurs, even if you cover your face, people who know you will still recognize you."

Ji You said: "You don’t have to cover if you don’t want to; I didn’t force you to smear your face with me."

Then—

Then, He Yu and Liu Jia, watching Ji You smearing joyously, couldn’t resist following along and smeared their faces with ash.

Uncomfortable.

He Yu raised her hand again, scratched off a layer of ash with her fingernail, and said to Liu Jia with a sigh: "Speaking of which, Ji You is really something, sleeping and so talented at it. To fall asleep in 1 second and still sleep so soundly at a time like this."

She was truly envious.

They had entered the arena almost four hours ago, and her mind had been tense the entire time, never relaxing. He Yu was also feeling a little sleepy, but she just couldn’t fall asleep.

In this environment, at this time, this... how could she possibly sleep?

Liu Jia felt the same.

As time quietly passed, they had already spent 10 minutes, all was calm, and Ji You had slept for the full 10 minutes!

minutes!

Liu Jia tugged at his short hair fiercely and said: "I also want this special ability to sleep!"

"Sob~" The manly Liu Jia cried!

Once Ji You wakes up, she will be a fully energized powerhouse in both spirit and physical strength!

So envious~

Outside the screen.

Audience: "..."

"Do we really have to watch her sleep?"

"It’s been 10 minutes now."

"And still nothing is happening outside..."

"Is the big battle not going to break out?"

"Impossible."

"Cheng Haoyue has already led the teammates, gathered on the opposite side of the border river."

"Behind Cheng Haoyue, there are two large teams."

"Each of these two large teams has 30 people, one targets squads 1 and 2 of the 6th battalion, and the other targets squad 6."

"What are they planning to do? Surround the 6th battalion, catch them all, and then seize the signal tower?"

"That’s the estimation."

...

Inside the arena, Shaun listened to the intelligence from Wei Yun: "Enemy traces detected. Currently, we have two routes, one on our side and the other in the direction of the base of squads 1 and 2."

Upon hearing this, Shaun’s face remained calm.

Wei Yun continued: "Our scouts have found signs of these two groups converging, maybe attacking squads 1 and 2 is a ruse, the real purpose might be to hit us from two fronts."

Shaun’s expression slightly darkened: "Two-front assault?"

"Heh—" His tone was slightly disdainful, saying: "Just right, I also want to wrap them up like dumplings."

"Are squads 4, 5, 8, and 9 ready?"

Wei Yun felt a bit excited inside: "They are all ready."

Shaun nodded: "Very good."

After thinking about it, Shaun tightened his heart, asking: "And the military base?"

Wei Yun smiled: "Our people have successfully led them into the base area."

Shaun immediately laughed, the corners of his mouth rising a bit: "Good!"

"Very good!"

"Extremely good!"

He used three goods in a row to express his happiness.

Wei Yun lowered her voice, saying: "They also brought 5 crossbows!"

"Good!" Shaun clapped his hands hard!

Then, Shaun made great efforts to tighten his smile, letting himself become a bit more calm and composed, saying: "According to my idea, let them hide carefully."

Wei Yun spoke softly: "It’s already been arranged."

Shaun rubbed his fingers, looking into the distance, although he already felt victory assured, he still wanted to perfect everything, so he said: "If necessary, let Ji You lead her people to break through the front!"

Wei Yun was shocked: "Squad leader?"

This meant letting Ji You be cannon fodder?

Shaun squinted his eyes: "She’s strong, fighting into the enemy can attract a lot of firepower."

Having a formidable combat power attract most of the fire can reduce the pressure on others, allowing our side to gather more resources for victory.

Wei Yun pursed her lips, and in the end, she did not refute.

Listening to Wei Yun’s suddenly heavy breathing on the other end of the communicator, Shaun knew she might not be able to accept it for a while, he couldn’t help but sigh, saying: "That’s how war is, the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. If it weren’t mandatory for me to stay in the back, the first one to rush to the front line would be me."

Wei Yun was silent for a moment: "I understand."

Shaun said: "How about this, before Ji You takes action, I will explain everything to her."

"I believe Ji You will be very willing," Wei Yun said: "With her character, she will be happy to help us."

Shaun: "Mm."

Thus, both felt a little better, and then Wei Yun whispered: "Over at the military base, He Zhen wants our communication equipment, what do you think?"

"Give it to him." Shaun decided very generously without thinking: "Maintaining contact with the military base over there is beneficial for both parties."

Wei Yun thought the same and said: "I checked the distance, if we lay the signal to the military base, we probably need to build at least 3 base stations along the way."

Shaun furrowed his brows.

Because the communication equipment is of the simplified type, both receiving and sending require a signal tower to complete. If the distance is too great, base stations are necessary for relay... It’s indeed a bit troublesome, more troublesome is not the construction, but the materials needed.

However, maintaining seamless communication with the military base is very necessary, plus, Shaun has even bigger ambitions—

—The position of the military base is the best site for encampment, for defense, recuperation, attacking the enemy, storage... it’s much, much better than the current location.

Therefore, if possible, bringing both the people and the land of the military base under control is Shaun’s current most wanted goal to achieve.

Shaun, full of determination, said: "Build! Collect all the materials in our hands, open the connection with the military base."

Wei Yun: "Okay."
