Su Ruan was not aware that Lu Shinian had been keeping an eye on her and could even read lips.
She was staring intently at the two people in front of her, waiting for their answer.
Neither Zhao Yujie nor Qian Duoduo spoke first.
The silence spread throughout the small cave.
After a while, Qian Duoduo finally spoke, "It’s just a military tournant after all."
He laughed heartily, seeing it in a very open manner.
"Three of us against five wasters—if we succeed, it would be a miracle."
"If we don’t succeed, it won’t be embarrassing to tell, nor will it affect the overall war situation."
He shrugged, looking at Su Ruan with what seed to be a light in his eyes, his tone resolute, "I’ll do this job!"
After all, they were from the Logistics Departnt and the cha Design Departnt, and they couldn’t play a decisive role in the competition.
Instead of waiting for arrangents, it was better to cooperate with Su Ruan and give it a try.
What if, what if they succeeded?
Qian Duoduo’s eyes burned with ambition.
Zhao Yujie, seeing Qian Duoduo’s agreent, nodded silently.
The hand resting on his leg slowly clenched, as if he had made up his mind.
A fire seed to ignite in his heart.
The three of them reached an agreent to cooperate, with the flickering fire illuminating their faces, a dazzling and determined light dancing in their pupils.
The heavy rain fell all night, disrupting the original plan for the Third Legion to regroup.
The others in the Third Legion didn’t contact Qian Duoduo and Zhao Yujie, and they temporarily turned off communication, preparing with Su Ruan for the "ambush" plan.

In the military school livestream room, soone finally noticed that an extra person had appeared in Zhao Yujie’s livestream.
Soone questioned on the bullet screen: [How did this girl get in?]
A few months ago, Lu Shinian’s wedding was grand, but Su Ruan wore a veil and her face was not clear at the ti. Later, Lu Shinian had 003 delete all of Su Ruan’s photos from the Star Network.
So much ti had passed, with most people flooded with new information every day, naturally they forgot what Su Ruan looked like.
That’s why such a question appeared on the bullet screen, and as soon as it did, the official website simultaneously updated the hidden "card" rules for this event.
Before entering Muhe Star, mbers of the Four Great Armies had already drawn cards.
The Third Legion’s Zhao Yujie drew the "external aid card," and after layers of selection, this "external aid" turned out to be Su Ruan.
Scattered bullet screens were asking who this girl was, and soone provided an answer: [Go check the official website, it has updated the new rules.]
A few minutes later, after viewers checked the rules on the official website, they flooded the screen.
[So speechless, why did they draw such a weakling for external aid?]
[What can the Logistics Departnt do? It would have been better to draw our Planting Departnt at least we can identify poisonous plants.]
[And it’s a woman, what can a woman from the Logistics Departnt do?]
[To the previous one, co in front of and see if I can’t bash your head!]
[These card rules are too useless, aren’t they? It would have been better not to have this privilege, it also limited Zhao Yujie’s capabilities.]
......
The bullet screen was lively, but because the number of viewers in Zhao Yujie’s livestream was so small, it didn’t cause a particularly big stir.
Ti flew by and soon it was the next day.
The rain finally stopped at dawn, and the sky gradually cleared up.
Su Ruan groggily woke up, glanced at the weather outside, and her long lashes trembled.
The fire was already out, and the cave held a faint scent of burned wood.
The three of them took turns keeping watch last night. When Su Ruan woke up, Zhao Yujie was on watch. Seeing her awake, he proactively said, "We need to pack up and leave."
Su Ruan nodded and woke up Qian Duoduo next to her.
The three quickly packed up, extinguished the fire, and left the cave.
Shortly after they left, a tiger, with sowhat unsteady steps, returned to the cave.
Its body was soaked, and its brownish-yellow fur looked sowhat coarse, its whiskers long, indicating its old age.
When it saw the fire pit in the cave, its pale yellow eyes suddenly squinted, its whiskers twitched, and a hint of human-like shock appeared in its eyes.

On the other side, after the three left, they rushed toward the creek.
Su Ruan and Qian Duoduo assessed the terrain. Su Ruan found a high altitude point, looked at the creek, and softly murmured, "If only there were long-range weapons."
Qian Duoduo cleared his throat, "Well, can you use ancient weapons?"
Su Ruan turned to look at Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo took out a bow and arrow from the weapon bag he found, "I found this in the weapon bag, it’s an ancient weapon, I don’t know much about it, nor do I know how to use it."
Su Ruan looked at the bow and arrow, her eyes flashed, and she took it.
Qian Duoduo waved his hand, "You probably can’t use it, after all..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Su Ruan say, "I can."
"Not being able to is the norm, there aren’t many people nowadays..." Qian Duoduo suddenly paused, surprised at Su Ruan, "You can use this?"
"Yes." Su Ruan nodded, her eyes shining with confidence, "My archery skills are pretty good."
Days later, Qian Duoduo could only say, it wasn’t just good, it was a godly skill!
Of course, at this mont, Qian Duoduo didn’t think so. Ancient weapons have always been a research difficulty, and considering their lack of destructive power compared to modern weapons, he wouldn’t deliberately train, even if he knew.
Now hearing Su Ruan say so, he just assud she could shoot an arrow, maybe hitting one out of ten was pretty good already.
So he consoled, "It’s okay, we’re just here to mix things up, after all, we’re just weaklings."
Su Ruan knew Qian Duoduo didn’t believe her, so she didn’t explain further.
Strength isn’t sothing you boast about.
She nodded, "I’ll go get more arrows, you and Senior Zhao proceed as planned."
"Alright." Qian Duoduo agreed, and pulled Zhao Yujie away.
The cara followed only the official contestants, so soone like Su Ruan who joined midway naturally didn’t have a separate livestream, and the cara wouldn’t capture much of her.
As soon as Zhao Yujie and Qian Duoduo left, Su Ruan disappeared from the live stream, so no one knew what she was doing at that high point, which gave her a fair bit of convenience.
anwhile, seeing Su Ruan disappear from the livestream, Lu Shinian, who had already arrived on Central Star, put away his Light Brain and headed toward the Third Legion’s research departnt.
After handing over the new version of the Insect Race to the research departnt, he issued a mandatory order.
"Get the results as soon as possible."
The mysterious research departnt quickly mobilized, striving to produce results in the shortest ti possible.
