Chapter 535: Chapter 536 This is too unusual Chapter 535: Chapter 536 This is too unusual The arrival of the reinforcements relieved much of the pressure on the Special Combat Team at the Northern Border frontline.
Military officers from various units gathered for a meeting, then returned to their respective duties to reorganize.
Before his arrival, Qu Guoâan had been extremely anxious, worried that Tang Zelin and his team might encounter danger in the Peng Mountain region.
Unexpectedly, he saw him here, and when the two returned to the quarters of the 208th group, Qu Guoâan didnât even sit down before he began eagerly inquiring about how everything had happened.
Tang Zelin said, âWhatâs the rush? Sit down and rest, Iâll explain slowly.â
âHurry up, I canât wait.â
He was really curious about how they managed to make their way here in such a short span of time.
Tang Zelin then explained how they went to the Peng Mountain region to find someone and how they passed through a mysterious cave in Peng Mountain to reach the Northern Border.
After listening, Qu Guoâanâs face showed immense shock.
âIs that true or not?â
Such an unbelievable event, if it hadnât come from Tangâs reliable mouth, who always spoke the plain truth, he wouldnât believe it at all!
âIt is a bit beyond imagination, isnât it?â
âOf course! Try telling someone else, Iâll give you the courtesy of belief because itâs you, but if someone else told me this, I would kick them for talking nonsense.â
Tang Zelin smiled; he used to think the same.
But ever since he encountered something even more astonishing than the Peng Mountain cave â Su Shuâs âspaceâ â he felt very strong inside.
However, the matter about Su Shu was something he would not share with old Qu.
And as for what he intended to report to his superiors about that cave inside Peng Mountain, that headache could be left with those above him.
He had an indescribable feeling that there must be someone with expertise in that area among the higher-ups.
As a soldier, his duty was to defend the territory and the people behind him.
Qu Guoâan had barely managed to meet with Tang Zelin and felt a sense of security upon seeing him here.
A portion of the 208th groupâs forces, along with troops from other groups from C City, were temporarily combined to form the temporary Special Combat Team Nine, primarily defending the eastern and southern flanks of the experimental base.
Because Tang Zelin was the most familiar with the experimental base, he naturally became the group captain of the temporary Special Team Nine.
After the command was issued, the troops were to relocate to the southeastern direction.
This involved a problem: how to accommodate the kids, Peng San and Su Shu.
Now, the frontline was actively preparing for war, and since Su Shu and the others were non-military personnel, they were absolutely not allowed to go to the frontline.
This offensive operation was extremely dangerous, and its main purpose was not to wipe out the enemy completely but to weaken their forces as much as possible before winter came, so as not to escalate the situation.
A larger operation would be launched once the new weapons and equipment were in place.
Overnight, Su Shu developed blisters in her mouth.
Even after taking medicine from her âspace,â there was no improvement.
With Tang Zelinâs troops moving to the southeast, she wanted but couldnât follow; Tang Zelin implied that the border was too dangerous and from the look of things, it seemed they were planning a defensive fight before winter arrived.
Once a defensive battle started, there was no telling how long it would last.
Even if she stayed here, she could only remain behind, suffering with her condition; it would be better to take Peng San and the kids back to C City and keep the home safe.
After this mission ended, he would return.
Su Shu had a restless night, researching weapons in the spaceâs System Room.
