Chapter 598: Chapter 88

Jing Rui pointed at Gu Xiaoxi and addressed everyone present with a serious tone, "I am now officially announcing a command from the higher-ups. Gu Xiaoxi, from Liuli Country, has once won the championship in a world military competition and served as a team leader. In Dong State’s Qiwei Troops, she also served as a team leader and helped Dong State once and for all solve the issue of one of the crime lords, Kang Di..."

"I believe everyone has seen her performance in the recent Giant Rat Battle. With her excellent demeanor and agile response, she has gained the recognition of our superiors. She is now assigned as your team leader and you have all been incorporated into the 71st small unit of the International Alliance."

Jing Rui continued to look at everyone and continued, "Now, salute to your new team leader and recognize her. If anyone does not recognize her, stand out now."

The principle of the International Alliance is that if you are to be a team leader, you must have the support of every team member.

Of course, since Gu Xiaoxi is new, she only needs more than half of the votes to pass.

At this moment, every word they say in the meeting room will be transmitted to the headquarters of the International Alliance through surveillance video.

Gu Xiaoxi coughed, strode back and forth, and first greeted everyone with a military salute, "Before that, let me say something!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Xiaoxi stood there and said calmly and lightly, "As your team leader, I have only one request of you all—unity. I absolutely do not allow anyone in my team to be insubordinate or harbour independent thoughts that lead to rebellious actions. Because your immature thoughts and childish behavior can get your teammates killed."

When she said these words, she was looking directly at Kang Di, Jason, and others.

"I believe any issue can be shared among us. Since we are a team, there are no borders, no divisions. We are like grasshoppers tied to the same string, living and dying together."

Her passionate and sober words echoed in everyone’s ears.

The skepticism that everyone previously harbored against her immediately dissipated.

Whether Gu Xiaoxi was capable of being a team leader, everyone was naturally aware.

The only concern was that she was young and a woman. Lacking that carefree and heroic spirit, it made men feel that a woman could not be truly influential.

At this moment, that concern was completely gone.

When she spoke about living and dying together,

Everyone was touched by her words.

At least, in the previous battles,

She had always been at the forefront.

Even with Kate in the team, she held a very important position. Even Kate would sometimes ask for her opinion.

Immediately!

Nine people stood up and saluted Gu Xiaoxi, then together they said in unison, "Living and dying together!"

They acted in great tacit understanding, as if taking an oath.

Even Willy, who had a grudge against Gu Xiaoxi before, at this moment had to admiringly bury the hatchet.

Seeing this, Jing Rui nodded in great satisfaction, "Alright, now go get the combat suits and weapons of the International Alliance. From now on, we’re colleagues."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and also gave Jing Rui a respectful military salute.

Jing Rui nodded and said to Gu Xiaoxi, "Come with me!"

Afterwards, Jing Rui took Gu Xiaoxi to the next room.

She took out a badge belonging to the International Alliance from a delicate black box and said, "This is for you!"

"What is this?" Gu Xiaoxi had never seen anything like it.

A badge with a floral totem painted on it.

"This is the promise of the International Alliance. It is also your badge as the team leader! Take good care of it. With this badge, no matter which country you go to, you will be treated as a VIP. Whether it’s a king, a general, or aristocrats from all countries, they will all show you extra courtesy."

"That impressive?" Gu Xiaoxi was taken aback. She had no idea that a mere team leader of the International Alliance could have such amazing privileges.

By that means, could she rely on this to freeload in the future?

"Of course! That’s why so many people are scrambling to get into the International Alliance," Jing Rui explained. At the same time, she started to familiarize Gu Xiaoxi with the system of the International Alliance.

Of course, it was just a brief introduction. After all, under the current emergency, she didn’t have time to tell Gu Xiaoxi too much.

Gu Xiaoxi listened but was somewhat confused, feeling it would be better to return to the International Alliance after the Giant Rat issue was resolved and properly understand its history.

Gu Xiaoxi received her clothes.

She then changed into them along with Yun Xiao.

It was a set of black combat suits.

The design was not much different from their camouflage uniforms, but the quality of the combat suit was distinct.

The black long-sleeve combat suits of the International Alliance could be worn even in the summer without feeling hot, because they used the latest technology to add breathable factors into the cotton fiber and didn’t absorb light.

The pockets on the suit were meticulously designed to hold a lot of weapons while still allowing for easy movement.

Wearing this uniform, one’s bearing was immediately transformed.

Yun Xiao passed the earpiece to Gu Xiaoxi and said, "From now on, we stand on an international platform."

To say there was no excitement would be a lie.

Yun Xiao had always thought that only Gu Xiaoxi could stand here,

Yet now, she too was standing here.

Although she was not the strongest, with her around,

She always found various ways to let their strengths shine and allow them to showcase themselves.

With her leadership, Yun Xiao believed they would go further.

On the other hand, Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t thought that much.

All she wanted was to lead everyone to complete the mission and then live a good life.

After the team assembled, Jing Rui gave Gu Xiaoxi the orders, "Now, the Giant Rats are rampant. Your mission is to snipe the Giant Rats and protect the safety of the citizens."

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxi acknowledged the order.

Now, Yatang City was in complete chaos.

The Giant Rats had taken over the city, and large swathes of housing had been destroyed.

The citizens of Yatang City were urgently evacuating. Much of the population had already left, but a large number remained.
