Chapter 1002 Suspicion Arises No matter how noble the reasons may be, they cannot change the fact of the threat! Thomas's sharp gaze swept over Diana, and he said calmly, "We need to discuss this as it concerns the outcof the competition." After Thomas finished speaking, he pulled Jessica, who was glaring angrily at Diana, and left. The other students also followed suit and left.
The people in the live broadcast room didn't see this scene, but suddenly saw several key members of the team appear on the screen with gloomy expressions, which immediately sparked countless speculations.
"Thomas and the others look really unhappy. Could it be that Selena was right?" "Their expressions might be because of the sneak attack last night. After all, their team suffered heavy losses. Don't jump to conclusions!" Thomas led Jessica into the tent and said, "She does have a point. Instead of waiting for Kevin to send people to attack us, we should take the initiative." Jessica was so angry that she was about to explode. "It's all because of her that we lost so many people. If we back down now, she'll beceven more aggressive!" A flash of cunning appeared in Thomas's eyes. "It concerns the reputation and relationship between the Research Institute and Union University. We must handle this with caution." Jessica opened her mouth to retort but ultimately shut it with a look of frustration.
Thomas leaned in close to Jessica's ear and whispered, "You'll lead the team personally. If you're caught by the other side, just let it be..." Jessica widened her eyes. "What do you mean?" Thomas's tone turned cold. "I hope I'm just overthinking things." A few minutes later, Diana received Thomas's order to send people out. A smile appeared on her lips as she led several followers from the Research Institute and returned proudly.
She smiled broadly. "Hand over all of your weapons to me. Don't worry, my firepower won't disappoint you!" Jessica snorted and remembered what Thomas had said, so she handed her gun over to Diana.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiana personally helped each of them reload their weapons and said with a smile, "I look forward to your triumphant return!" Jessica felt indignant and didn't bother to pay attention to her. She led a small team and set out.
"Did you see that? My goddess personally helped everyone reload their weapons. Who still dares to say that she threatened the team with firepower?!" "That Miss Turner is really slandering my goddess! Her heart is so dirty!" "Did | notice it alone? Miss Turner's guess was not wrong at all. Did Thomas really send someone to their death?!" On the other side, Selena was leisurely leading her team on the road, enjoying the scenery and chatting. If someone didn't know, they would think they were on a vacation.
Selena was walking in the front with a slight smile on her lips, looking very happy.
Hattie looked up and asked, "Selena, do you like being in command?" Surprisingly, Selena looked down at her and said, "No, | don't." Everyone around who heard her words turned their attention to her.
If she didn't like it, why did she fight for Thomas's command? Selena smiled and said, "Commanding is a deadly job. If you command well, you demand the lives of others. If you command poorly, you sacrifice the lives of your own people. So, no one with a heart of stone can beca commander." This statement made all the cadets present fall silent.
Union University's Commanding Department only recruits a few students every year, and most of them drop out halfway through.
Very few people can persist to the end and successfully reach that position.
They didn't know why before, and they thought it was because there were too few smart people. But after hearing Selena's words today, they suddenly understood that it wasn't because there were too few smart people, but because there were too few people who could be smart enough to ignore life and bear the burden of sin.
"But strategizing is interesting," Selena touched Hattie's hair. "And a thrilling battle and victory are even more desirable." As she finished speaking, Selena suddenly looked in a certain direction and said, "They're here." The group around her immediately becagitated and looked towards the direction Selena was staring.
Selena's expression turned cold, "Put your eyeballs back in your sockets!" Everyone trembled, remembering Selena's command earlier. They hurriedly let down their guard and followed her.
Selena spoke casually, "Whether it's infiltration or ambush, the prerequisite is to make sure the enemy doesn't notice your presence." "And on the real battlefield, with just one subconscious movement like you all just made, it is enough to scare off the fish that haven't taken the bait yet, or even to turn the tables and take advantage of your flaw to counterattack you!" A group of students who had made a mistake followed Selena, trembling and afraid to speak.
Selena casually picked a wild flower from the roadside and held it in her hand. "Well, your opponents today aren't sharp enough to notice this mistake. We can ignore it for now," she said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe group looked at her in disbelief. Was she mocking them? As the enemy drew closer, one soldier began to panic. "Commander, they're getting closer! Shouldn't we start firing? If we wait any longer, their bullets will be raining down on us!" he exclaimed.
Without turning her head, Selena flicked the flower in her hand with incredible accuracy, hitting the soldier square in the forehead.
"If | say we wait, we wait. If | say we retreat, we retreat. Follow my orders," she commanded.
The group remained on high alert, knowing that if they suffered another casualty, Selena's punishment would be severe. "If we lose anyone else, the entire squad will have to wear dresses and dance tonight," she warned.
The group shuddered at the thought and quickly adjusted their facial expressions, trying to hide their fear.
Meanwhile, across the battlefield, Jessica whispered to her companion, "Did they all get bitten by mosquitoes or something? Why are their faces so contorted?" Suspecting something was amiss, they scanned the group and noticed Selena had retreated to the center of the team, leaving Kevin and Richard at the front. Yasmin was nowhere to be seen; she must be guarding the mechanic.
Despite the strange expressions on their faces, there was nothing else that seemed out of the ordinary. But the opposing team was determined to find the mechanic hidden among them and took aim at Selena.
Twenty guns were trained on her, but just as they were about to pull the trigger, something unexpected happened...
