Otherworld Advance Team
Chapter 609 - 602

Chapter 609: 602

"So, you think we should bypass the Church Court and independently conduct the relevant reconnaissance and actions?" Li Si asked, looking at him.

"Of course," Luo’er nodded, then counter-questioned, "Don’t you think the Church Court is superfluous in our action system? Compared with us, their only advantage is that they have more people, but at most they can help us guard the base. Apart from that, I don’t think they’ve made any significant contributions. Indeed, the Church Court’s army, with the enhancement of Earth’s protection technology, has drastically increased its combat power. But what about it? Don’t forget, the reason why this epidemic has lasted so long is because the Church Court is unable to resolve the infection. As long as the infection is not resolved, they cannot end this catastrophe."

"Makes sense..." Li Si nodded in appreciation.

"So, we all have our own tasks, which do not overlap at all, we do not need to rely on their numerical superiority to accomplish our mission objectives. Instead, we should leverage our own mobility advantages and carry out relevant exploration and sampling tasks," Luo’er continued.

"You’re not wrong," Li Si nodded, then lowered his head and said somewhat shamefully, "It seems I misunderstood the target before, thinking I could rely on the Church Court’s numerical superiority to cover you guys completing the mission. But now it seems that we really don’t need to rely on Church Court, or else we’ll be easily influenced by their own mistakes. I am ashamed. This is my second time leading such a mission, and I didn’t expect to make such a naive mistake."

"This..." Luo’er coughed awkwardly, ready to save some face for Li Si.

"Oh, you don’t need to console me. I am not that thin-skinned. Being lectured by you is much better than being punished after a mission failure," Li Si waved his hand, saying nonchalantly.

"Well then, I will not say anything redundant. I just hope that you, Brother Li, can think it over and not put the advance team in danger because of your mistakes," Luo’er said.

"Yes, I accept your criticism. I will consider the future actions carefully. You guys go rest for now. Once I’ve planned, we’ll have a meeting and discuss, giving you a more reasonable target," Li Si said.

"Then we’ll go for now, don’t work too hard," Luo’er said, lightly waving his hand and beckoning his team to leave the office.

"Damn, the boss criticized Brother Li a lot, so cool!" leaving the office, Hu Daoke couldn’t help but exclaim, putting his arm around Cheng Ziang’s shoulder.

"Fortunately, he’s not much older than us. If an old stubborn man were in charge, he’d probably be fuming at Luo’er by now," Cheng Ziang looked back at the office, shaking his head.

"Don’t you find that Brother Li seems a little out of sorts," Hu Daoke thought for a moment, and couldn’t help but whisper in his ear, "When we were in the south last time, Brother Li never made such a basic mistake."

"Probably..." Cheng Ziang said, coughing slightly, a subtle smile showing on his face. Then he whispered a few words in Hu Daoke’s ear.

"Really?" Hu Daoke widened his eyes, a gleam of gossip shining in them.

"Guess so," Cheng Ziang smiled lightly and said casually.

"Hey, you are pretty good at this, a better gossip than mine," Hu Daoke slapped him on the shoulder laughing.

"I’m just observant," Cheng Ziang replied, rolling his eyes.

"What are you guys talking about?" Seeing the two’s smiles, Wu Tairan couldn’t help but lean over and ask.

"Let me tell you..." Hu Daoke began, whispering a few words in his ear.

"Really?" Wu Tairan asked, eyes bulging.

"Don’t go spreading this around, and don’t say I told you, got it!" Hu Daoke warned.

"No problem," Wu Tairan waved his hand, then turned and whispered to Xuzhong Qi, "Old Xu, heavy news, want to hear?"

After closing the office hatch, Luo’er felt much more relaxed and couldn’t help but take a breath.

"Luo’er, thanks for this time," Murong said sincerely, looking at him.

"Thank me for what?" Luo’er was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"It seems that my experience in dealing with such unexpected situations is still lacking, you saved us this time, otherwise I really don’t know how I would have brought all the members back safely." Murong said sincerely, looking at him.

Although at the start, the Number One Reconnaissance Team led by Luo’er and the Number Two Reconnaissance Team led by Murong were on an equal footing, once in a combat state, Murong’s squad would easily follow Luo’er’s commands directly, making the Number Two Reconnaissance Team effectively Luo’er’s subordinate, even Murong was no exception.

This is not because Luo’er is used to overstepping his authority, but because his command skills and on-the-spot performance abilities far exceed Murong’s. Murong initially had some advantages, but they were quickly defeated by the increasingly complex sudden situations, and he had to obey Luo’er’s commands.

"Enough with the courteous talk, I don’t like flattery." Luo’er said indifferently.

"This isn’t courtesy, it’s what I truly feel." Murong replied.

"Alright, I accept your goodwill, but let me remind you." Luo’er patted his shoulder, then said earnestly, "Next time, if I’m not around, you must remain calm, don’t let sudden situations confuse you like they do others. Remember, you are the captain of the reconnaissance team, if you mess up, the entire team will suffer with you. If you don’t want the members to get hurt, try to stay clear-headed as much as possible."

"I’ll remember!" Murong nodded firmly.

"Remembering is enough," Luo’er sighed, then continued, "No one is infallible, I’ve also learned from my mistakes. Remember, if you have to back down, then back down, the mission can be abandoned, but everyone must be safe. Any action must be taken under relatively safe circumstances."

"Yes, thank you." Murong looked at him gratefully.

Luo’er patted him on the shoulder again and then walked alone towards another corridor, deliberately avoiding the members. Arriving at a dead corner, he looked around to make sure no one was following, then started to call Fulajie’er.

"Fulajie’er, are you there, please show yourself!" Luo’er took out a pendant and called to it in front of him.

"Hmmm, what’s up?" Soon, the magic in the air fluctuated, and then Fulajie’er’s figure appeared in front of him, looking at him with a confused face.

"Thank goodness, I thought you wouldn’t show up." Luo’er let out a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so worried about me?" Fulajie’er floated around him, couldn’t help asking.

"During the mission this time, I might have been in a bad temper, so some of my words might have been harsh..." Luo’er said, lowering his head somewhat guiltily.

"Oh, you think I’m angry because of that and decided to ignore you?" Fula’er floated in front of him, lifted her head and looked at him with a smirk.

"You’re not angry?" Luo’er asked somewhat jubilantly.

"Of course I am! Who said I wasn’t!" Fulajie’er said, feigning annoyance and puffing out her cheeks.

"But..." Luo’er seemed at a loss in the face of Fulajie’er’s sudden change.

"If I’m angry, you’ll definitely try to appease me, right?" Fulajie’er said, circling around his neck.

"Of course." Luo’er nodded.

"So, you’ll agree to any request I make, right?" Fulajie’er wrapped her arms around Luo’er’s neck, staring at his face as she asked.

"Er, as long as it’s not too unreasonable." After a moment of hesitation, Luo’er replied.

"Then, you need to spend more time talking to me!" Fulajie’er declared.

"Is that your only request?" Luo’er asked, somewhat surprised.

"What else do you think I want? You’ve been so busy this whole time, you haven’t had any time to talk to me. I don’t dare to go and find anyone else, I almost died of boredom." Fulajie’er rested her chin on Luo’er’s shoulder, and grumbled.
