The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1367: Conclusion

After a brief rest, Ji You decisively said, "Everyone listen to my command—return to the camp and kill Charles and his subordinates."

As for whether to seize the Array Flag?

The entire 6th Battalion of the enemy had been completely annihilated, with only the more than 200 men led by Charles trapped on the 5th Battalion’s front. Is there really any need to seize the Array Flag?

As long as Charles and his group are eliminated, victory will naturally belong to the 5th Battalion.

Thus.

Ji You gave the command, and under her leadership, the army was rejuvenated, with everyone becoming serious and focused again.

This was not just a simple competition.

This was a war.

A battlefield of life and death, representing both destruction and hope.

On the return journey, the army accelerated with all its might and quickly arrived at the 5th Battalion’s front. By this time, Charles had successfully broken out of the trap zone and was rapidly advancing towards the Commander Base of the 5th Battalion.

However, Charles’s men were in a dire state. Originally numbering over 200, now there were less than 100, each and every one more wretched than savages due to hunger, cold, and the torture of the trap zone.

Yet, the remaining enemies who survived showed fierce resolve, cutting through obstacles and advancing as if they would soon reach the Commander Base.

For a moment, Acting Commander Cheng Haoyue felt enormous psychological pressure.

Suddenly—

A teammate responsible for relaying information came to report: "Squad Leader Cheng, the enemy is 5000 meters away and is about to enter our position."

"What?" Cheng Haoyue felt his blood pressure spike instantly, "Wasn’t it 6 kilometers a few seconds ago?"

The teammate kindly reminded him, "Squad Leader Cheng, that was 2 minutes ago."

Cheng Haoyue grabbed his hair, "How could it be so fast? Are the commander and the others back yet?"

The teammate replied, "No information has been received from the commander yet."

Cheng Haoyue ruffled his hair again, muttering to himself, "Could it be that they flipped over?"

At this moment—

Another battle report came from the front: "The enemy has entered our firing range. Squad Leader Cheng, should we start shooting now?"

Hearing this, Cheng Haoyue’s heart stirred, but recalling that Ji You had taken 400 people for the raid and left a large force with him, and considering the enemy was only a broken force, he had no reason to be intimidated by less than 100 people. So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Have the archers get ready—"

After saying this, Cheng Haoyue suddenly heard his communicator ring. Seeing who it was, he was overjoyed, "Commander?"

Ji You said, "The enemy has entered firing range, join me in a frontal and rear pincer attack, the target—eliminate all enemies."

Cheng Haoyue: "Yes."

...

As the sky over Nami Star turned the pale white of dawn, the thick black fog over the scorched, ruined, and desolate battlefield gradually dispersed, and a beam of light shone over this dark land.

It was over.

Everyone standing on the scorched land heard the system prompt: "Camp battle over, 5th Battalion victorious."

Simple words brushed past the ears of Ji You, Cheng Haoyue, Gu Peiyuan, He Nu, He Yu... They exchanged glances and all smiled.

"We won."

"We won!"

"We are victorious."

...

Students from different schools, who had initially seen each other as competitors, could not help but cheer in this victory, Liu Jia even throwing caution to the wind and lifting Wang Xin, causing Wang Xin to shout irritably, "Damn! Don’t mess around."

Cheng Haoyue slapped He Nu on the back, "Brother, we won."

He Nu smiled faintly.

Cheng Haoyue scooted over to Ji You’s side and was about to give her a playful pat, but stopped instinctively upon seeing Ji You’s gaze.

Ji You slanted her eyes at him, "Go ahead, pat."

"Ahem..." Cheng Haoyue coughed and said, "Forget it, I don’t hit girls."

Ji You grinned at him, "Are you sure you can hit me?"

Cheng Haoyue: "..."

"Damn!" Cheng Haoyue scratched his head, "Suddenly, I’m not feeling as happy."

With that, he raised his hand to cover his face and walked away, whining.

The revelry lasted a little while longer.

Soon, the clearing prompt started to play in the competition field.

Everybody was exhausted and starving, so they had no intention of lingering in the empty competition field, and thus they gathered in groups, sat on the transportation belts, and left the field.

Soon, almost everyone was gone.

Ji You stood still, unmoving.

Guan Ning glanced at her curiously before leaving, "You’re not leaving?"

Ji You grinned and said, "You go first."

Guan Ning lifted a foot to leave—

Ji You breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Ning suddenly turned back sharply, "Are you unable to walk?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You lowered her eyes, showing her teeth, "Do I look like I can’t walk?"

Guan Ning thought, with Ji You’s voice so full of vigor, it didn’t seem likely, so she nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave first."

With that, she stepped onto the transportation belt.

Whoosh—

The transport belt disappeared in an instant.

Ji You glanced around and found no one around, let out a sigh, and then her slender body trembled slightly, nearly collapsing to the ground. Just then, a hand reached out to support her.

Ji You was startled, "Damn! Why are you still here?"

He Nu stood straight, a simple and honest smile crossing his handsome face, "The commander hasn’t left, so I can’t either."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You said speechlessly, "Wake up, the match is over. I’m not your superior officer anymore."

He Nu said, "I know. But you need help now—"

Ji You interrupted him, "Shut up!"

"Nothing of the sort!"

"Definitely not." Ji You refused to admit that due to the continuous depletion of her spiritual power and Physical Strength, her body was now like a shell, ready to collapse with a slight push. She gritted her teeth and said, "He Nu, you’re an honest guy, so don’t talk nonsense."

He didn’t quite understand why she was being stubborn like a dying duck, but He Nu lifted his head, glanced at her, full of questioning.

Ji You maintained a calm expression, "I’m off."

With those words.

She lifted her foot, took one step, one step, one step, towards the transportation belt.

He Nu: "???"

A moment ago, He Nu clearly felt her spiritual power was slightly chaotic, indicating overuse with no recovery. By all accounts, she should not have been able to stand, how come she could walk now?

At this moment, Ji You, who had reached the transportation belt, suddenly turned back and bestowed a small smile towards He Nu, also seemingly smiling at all the spectators beyond the screen.

"He Nu—"

"I don’t need you to support me, I won’t fall." She looked at He Nu, her black eyes filled with an incredibly bright smile, and she said, "Because I, Ji You—am destined to be the ruler standing at the Peak of the Universe."
