Chapter 198: Withholding the Death Notification

Yingzhou suddenly frowned at this moment and immediately spoke to interrupt Li Fan's speech.

"Wait! Xu Fenqiu? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

After hearing the name Xu Fenqiu, Yingzhou felt in his mind as if he had heard this name somewhere before; after pondering for a moment, Yingzhou's brain instantly crashed.

It couldn't be, could it be such a coincidence? Xu Fenqiu seemed to be his older brother's Captain, and just now Li Fan seemed to say that Xu Fenqiu's squad had been completely wiped out!

Seeing that Yingzhou's expression had become somewhat off, Li Fan asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Do you know Xu Fenqiu?"

Yingzhou's mind was in chaos at this moment. After hearing Li Fan's question, he slowly looked at Li Fan and asked, holding onto a final shred of hope.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Li, in the Military District, is there more than one combat squad named Xu Fenqiu?"

Although Li Fan did not know why Yingzhou would ask this, he still shook his head, "No, there is only one combat squad captain named Xu Fenqiu."

Li Fan's words shattered the last line of defense in Yingzhou's heart. Yingzhou only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had lost something important.

"Captain Yingzhou, are you alright? You look very uncomfortable."

Yingzhou slowly shook his head and said to Li Fan, "Has the Military District sent the death notification to the families of the fallen?"

"It should not have been sent yet. Recently, the Military District has been busy dealing with the Zerg attacks and the matters regarding the Sixty-Sixth Corps. Fortunately, the humanoid Zerg did not appear in the areas where other Legions are located; otherwise, the Military District would likely be overwhelmed."

After hearing this, Yingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Fan with a serious gaze, and said, "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, can you do me a favor?"

"Speak, as long as it is something I can help with, just say it."

"Please have the Military District withhold the death notification for a soldier named Yingfang, thank you."

Yingzhou's voice became somewhat low. After hearing Yingzhou say this name, Li Fan also guessed the general situation and nodded solemnly.

"I understand. I will have them temporarily withhold the death notification regarding Yingfang, but you must know that this matter will eventually have to be told to the family. I can only have that death notification delayed in being sent back to the family."

After hearing this, Yingzhou replied simply, "Many thanks, may I have some quiet time?"

Li Fan walked forward slowly, patted Yingzhou's arm in a comforting manner, and then turned to leave the tent.

Yingzhou did not know what kind of experience his inner feelings were; the older brother of this body, his brother in this world, had just died like this.

"Strange, I shouldn't be this sad, right? I am clearly just an outsider, why would I feel sorrow?"

Yingzhou whispered to himself. Afterwards, Yingzhou sat in the tent for a long time, until Li Fan entered the tent again. Seeing that Yingzhou had returned to the appearance he had when they first met, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I am very sorry to disturb you, but the Regiment Commander has finished assembling the troops. The Transport Aircraft to pick you up will arrive in a moment. Let the soldiers following you see you."

At this time, Yingzhou had regained his reason, and in his heart, he had blamed Yingfang's death on the Zerg.

You filthy Alien Race, prepare yourselves to accept the judgment of death!

Following Li Fan to an open space outside the camp, he saw a troop of about 1,000 people standing in front of Yingzhou. Li Fan spoke to Yingzhou, "These are the soldiers we have prepared to support the Sixty-Sixth Corps. According to the instructions of the Military District, the number is 1,000. After all, we must also keep sufficient strength to guard against Zerg attacks. Other Legions should also be sending troops over."

"Hmm, it doesn't matter, I can't wait to go there and kill the Zerg!" Yingzhou nodded, looked at the soldiers who were about to follow him to support the Sixty-Sixth Corps, and shouted, "After arriving at the Sixty-Sixth Corps, all actions will follow my command! Our purpose in going is to kill the Alien Race and drive them out!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers in front answered in unison.

Jia Zhenliang looked up and said to Yingzhou, who was standing beside him, "Yingzhou, after you go, you must still follow the orders of Regiment Commander Xiong Zhongdao, after all, he is the Regiment Commander in charge of this battle. I understand your feelings, don't be too impulsive."

"I know, I will not act impulsively."

Soon, two Transport Aircraft suddenly appeared in mid-air and slowly landed on the ground.

"Attention everyone! Board the Transport Aircraft!"

At Jia Zhenliang's command, the 1,000-man troop split into two batches and entered the Transport Aircraft. After saluting Jia Zhenliang, Yingzhou also boarded one of the Transport Aircraft.

As the Transport Aircraft slowly took off, Yingzhou said to the soldiers in the cabin, "My name is Yingzhou. Going to that battlefield this time, I cannot guarantee that you will all survive, but I guarantee that I will never abandon you and escape alone! We will fight side by side and kill the Alien Race!"

"Yes! Sir!"

After the Transport Aircraft began to fly steadily, Yingzhou sat in the seat the soldiers had cleared for him, clicked on the System Panel, and used the random Legion summoning chance rewarded for killing the Dominator Zerg.

"System, summon a Legion."

"Summoning Legion..."

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

Ji Bu was handling affairs in his office when suddenly a familiar evil voice came into his mind.

"It seems that Yingzhou is much stronger than imagined; he even destroyed the Hatchery of the Dominator Zerg!"

Ji Bu snorted coldly and said with a dissatisfied tone.

"It seems your predictions were not very accurate. Didn't you say Yingzhou would die inside the Hatchery? How did he still come out?"

The evil voice sensed Ji Bu's dissatisfaction and also spoke up.

"There is no way around it; the feeling that Yingzhou gives us is truly too dangerous. He is full of rejection toward all living things, including the Human Alliance; this is beyond doubt."

"But, none of what you said before has become reality. How does this make me continue to trust you? If you dare to play any tricks, I will absolutely not agree to it!"

Ji Bu's emotions were somewhat agitated, and he patted his desk lightly to express his dissatisfaction.

"That was just an accident. That Yingzhou should currently be preparing to go? This war with the Zerg will soon usher in a period of rest, and your crisis this time can be considered to have passed."

Hearing the evil voice say that the Ninth Defense Zone could survive the crisis this time, Ji Bu's tone softened slightly, "Speak, what is your purpose in coming to me this time?"

"In order to solve this common enemy of ours in the future, we have decided to give you some items so that you can eliminate him! In this way, your Human Alliance will be preserved."

Afterwards, Ji Bu only felt a ripple appear in the space in front of him, and 6 stones of different colors appeared before Ji Bu.

"Just arrange them according to this method, and that trouble will be solved by us!"
