Chapter 19: Returning to School

After Yingzhou returned to the tent, he discovered that Xun Zhe was also inside.

"Yingzhou, how was it? Have you considered the proposal Colonel Li gave you?" Seeing Yingzhou return, Xun Zhe stood up and asked.

"I politely declined. My goal is to go to the front-line battlefield and kill those Alien Races invading our world," Yingzhou answered, shaking his head.

A trace of surprise appeared in Xun Zhe's eyes; most students would surely have agreed if they heard of such an opportunity. He hadn't expected that Yingzhou actually wanted to go to the front line where there were the most Alien Races!

When it was time to leave, it was already evening, and the camp of the Thorn had returned to calm. The dead were gone, and the living had to continue moving forward.

The group boarded the Transport Aircraft again, preparing to leave this unforgettable place.

On the aircraft, Yun Shuangjin spoke to Yingzhou, "Yingzhou, I admire you a bit. If I were allowed to join the Thorn squad, I would definitely agree immediately, because emergency squads within the Human Alliance like the Thorn are considered units with relatively low casualty rates."

Yingzhou turned back and smiled at Yun Shuangjin, saying, "But if everyone thought that way, then who would go to the front line to kill the Alien Races? Someone has to face them, and besides, I don't think the front line is very dangerous."

Yun Shuangjin had black lines all over his face. Listen to that, was that something a human would say? What did he mean the front line wasn't dangerous? However, after witnessing the combat power of Yingzhou's soldiers, he felt relieved.

"Yingzhou, Back Spirits that can summon soldiers have been recorded in the database, but the soldiers summoned by those Back Spirits don't have high combat power, and after casualties exceed half, their morale collapses and the soldiers flee," Xun Zhe, who was sitting at the very front of the Transport Aircraft, said at this moment. "However, listening to your description, it seems your soldiers don't flee due to casualty issues. Is it because the casualty rate hasn't reached the critical value yet?"

"I'm not very clear on this either, but I trust them," Yingzhou answered with his mouth, but in his heart, he was thinking: Krieg soldiers would absolutely never have the problem of morale collapse due to casualty rates.

"That's also true. Your Back Spirit isn't in the database; it's a brand-new Back Spirit, so you can only rely on yourself to slowly explore and understand it," Xun Zhe nodded and said. After all, without anyone to guide you, it is still very difficult to achieve anything, but Yingzhou had this hope.

The Transport Aircraft slowly ascended. Yingzhou looked at the ground gradually moving away outside the window, carrying some regret in his heart. Regarding the squad members who sacrificed themselves this time, Yingzhou still admired them from the bottom of his heart, because they were thinking about how to complete the Task until their deaths, which made Yingzhou have to admire them.

As time passed, the Transport Aircraft flew into the depths of the clouds, and the surroundings became pitch black. Yingzhou closed his eyes and began to imagine the various situations he might face in the future. He didn't know when the system would draw the next Legion, and so far, no Task had been triggered. This Task was too hard to trigger!

I don't know how much time passed, but the Transport Aircraft finally landed on the Landing Pad of the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao. Yingzhou opened his eyes and looked at the familiar scenery outside the window. Although he had only been away for one day, he felt like he hadn't seen such a tranquil atmosphere for a long time.

"Oh roar! Finally back! I thought I wouldn't be able to come back!" Yun Shuangjin ran out of the Transport Aircraft and shouted at the tranquil night sky.

"This is the first time I've felt that a tranquil atmosphere could be so comfortable!" Su Miao said with a face full of emotion.

Yingzhou rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe it's because of the things we experienced in the Xitai District? After all, the atmosphere there was too oppressive. After returning to school, my whole nervous system has relaxed."

After Xun Zhe brought everyone back to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao, he let everyone return to their dormitories to rest first, and stated that he would report what happened this time to the principal, and they would resume normal training tomorrow.

Hearing Xun Zhe say this, everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"

When leaving, Yingzhou glanced at Helao Da and discovered that this guy had been in silence ever since they left the Xitai District. He couldn't help but think if this guy had been scared out of his wits. Indeed, Helao Da's performance in the Xitai District was truly hard to compliment; it could be said that he interpreted the four words "timid as a mouse" to the fullest.

Yingzhou and Su Miao walked into the dormitory and found that other classmates in the class were gathered together in the public living room, seemingly discussing some important matter. They looked at each other and saw the curiosity and confusion in each other's eyes.

"What's wrong? What is everyone doing here?" Yingzhou walked up and asked.

Bai Tao looked up and saw Yingzhou and Su Miao, and hurriedly beckoned them to come over. "Yingzhou, Su Miao, you're back! Come quickly and look at this news!"

Yingzhou and Su Miao walked to the electronic screen in the public living room and saw that the screen was playing a news report about the recent intensification of Alien Race activities. The news mentioned that the activities of Alien Races in the border areas were becoming more and more frequent, and small-scale conflicts occurred often. And in various areas within the Human Alliance, there were also many places where various incidents had occurred.

"Is... is this true?" Su Miao looked at the news report, a worried expression appearing on her face.

Seeing this, Bai Tao comforted her, "Don't worry, Su Miao, we are still in school now, and we will be fine for the time being."

Yingzhou said at this time, "The various signs of the Alien Races indicate that signs of division have appeared within our Human Alliance. It's possible that some people have already been eroded by the Alien Races and have become like those people in the cult organization in the Xitai District."

"What happened when you went to watch the emergency squad execute the Task this time? It looks like you seem to know something," Bai Tao looked at Yingzhou and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, tell us what it's like for the emergency squad to execute a Task?" Others also urged.

Yingzhou and Su Miao told everyone about their experiences in the Xitai District and some of the information they had learned.

"The number of Alien Races invading the interior of the Human Alliance is increasing. If this continues, there will definitely be a big problem," Yingzhou finally shared his thoughts with the surrounding classmates.

"But we are still in school now, and our strength is still very weak. Since we have thought of these problems, the high-level officials of the Human Alliance must have also noticed these problems," one classmate said.

"Indeed, I think so too. For now, we should still improve our own strength so that we can have more means when the Alien Races invade," another classmate echoed.

Yingzhou did not continue to state his thoughts; arguing about these topics here was purely a waste of time.

If the Human Alliance really realized this problem, then they would feel a real headache. The Alien Races had obviously started to divide and incite certain people in the Human Alliance long ago. Now, some people might already be in high positions, and these people were the ones providing convenient conditions for the Alien Races to invade the interior of human territory.

And wanting to quickly find those traitors would inevitably have a certain impact on the front-line battlefield of the Human Alliance, and in this way, the front-line battlefield might be seized by the Alien Races as an opportunity to push over the defensive lines that the Human Alliance had built with such difficulty.

In this situation, the Human Alliance can only let the emergency squads go everywhere to put out fires and try to stabilize the current situation.
