Chapter 257: Still More?

After listening to Lu Zhenda's account, Yingzhou fell into a brief silence, then spoke to Lu Zhenda.

"I only need the 46th Legion to give me the scouts who know the location of the Zerg Breeding Ground; I will handle the rest. Since the existence of the Breeding Ground is known, we cannot sit by and watch the Humans there."

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou with some surprise and began to dissuade him.

"Chief, although I understand your desire to save those Humans, there are simply too many factors to consider for long-distance operations. Moreover, you have already sent a 500-man unit to the Production Zone; how many more soldiers can you summon to attack the Zerg Breeding Ground? As the Military District Chief, if you go directly into enemy territory and something happens, what will become of the Military District?"

Yingzhou smiled and said to Lu Zhenda, "Don't worry, I won't go that far. However, I will also send soldiers to the Zerg Breeding Ground. You just notify the 46th Legion and have them send a few scouts; I will just make a trip to the 46th Legion myself."

Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou, and after a few seconds, nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I will go notify the 46th Legion right now."

After Lu Zhenda left the office, Yingzhou looked at the Task that had just popped up in front of him.

【Task: Rescue the Humans inside the Breeding Ground.】

【Task Reward: Random Draw count +1.】

Just as Yingzhou had spoken about rescuing the Humans in the Breeding Ground, the system's Task had popped up directly.

"Hmm? System, if I hadn't chosen to go to the Breeding Ground to rescue the Humans there just now, would this Task not have been triggered?"

Yingzhou looked at his Task panel and asked the system.

"Host, the conditions for triggering a Task are not fixed. Please do not overthink it; make every decision according to your own heart."

Yingzhou curled his lip, said nothing more, and opened his System Panel.

【Host: Yingzhou.】

"Phew... Faith Value really is the most efficient way to increase Legion capacity. Let me think..."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Yingzhou made his decision.

"Hmm, let's just do it like this for now."

46th Legion Command Camp.

Regiment Commander Qi Tuowei was looking at the report in front of him with frustration. After carefully reading through it, he let out a long sigh and complained to the Deputy Regiment Commander Dong Jian beside him.

"I don't understand why Chief Ji Bu chose Yingzhou to be the new Military District Chief before he passed away. He is too young. He wants us to send a few scouts, and he will send troops to solve the rest. I know he can summon about 3,000 soldiers, but our current situation is that we need to go to a Zerg Breeding Ground 280 kilometers away to rescue the Human survivors there."

Dong Jian looked at Qi Tuowei, who was slumped over the desk, unable to complain any further, and chuckled.

"It's normal. After all, our Chief Yingzhou hasn't been the Military District Chief for long. It's normal for him to want to show his skills and realize his ambitions. Who hasn't been young before?"

"Sigh, then what do we do? Send a unit to try it? No, I can't do it!"

Dong Jian slowly stood up from his chair and said to Qi Tuowei, "Don't be anxious. Isn't Chief Yingzhou coming to the 46th Legion anyway? When he sees our actual situation and our difficulties, he might just abandon his idea."

"I hope so."

Qi Tuowei stretched out both arms, rested his chin on the desk, and looked outside the tent.

Soon, a Guard came trotting into the tent with a "thump-thump-thump" sound and saluted Qi Tuowei and Dong Jian.

"Regiment Commander, Deputy, the Military District's Transport Aircraft has arrived!"

Dong Jian walked to Qi Tuowei's side and patted his outstretched arm, "Alright, even if he is young, he is still the Military District Chief after all. Dress neatly and don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, I understand... uh... ah..."

Qi Tuowei stood up, stretched, and gave Dong Jian a "don't worry" look.

The two walked out of the Command Camp and saw that the cabin door of a Transport Aircraft in the distance had already opened.

One by one, Krieg soldiers, holding Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns, with Entrenching Tools tucked at their waists and backpacks on their backs, walked off the Transport Aircraft in an orderly fashion and stood in rows of formations.

"This Transport Aircraft can fit so many soldiers?" Qi Tuowei's eyes widened as he said to Dong Jian beside him.

"Hmm, the number is about 8,000. It's simply incredible! Are these the soldiers Chief Yingzhou summoned?" Dong Jian was equally surprised and muttered to himself.

Qi Tuowei had a moment of realization and rubbed his chin with his right hand.

"I was wondering why that Transport Aircraft had to land so far away. Good heavens, is it because they were afraid those soldiers wouldn't have enough room to stand?"

Just when the two thought no more soldiers would walk out of the cabin door.

Soldiers walked out of the cabin door again. They wore khaki uniforms with bulletproof armor over them. On their helmets was a skull between a pair of wings, along with an adjustable standard two-point suspension system and a headband. Under the helmet was a pair of lenses and a respirator.

They held M36 Kantrael-pattern Lasguns in their hands and walked off the Transport Aircraft with their heads held high.

"This unit also has nearly 2,000 men," Dong Jian whispered.

Qi Tuowei was no longer speaking; he felt a deep sense of respect for the Chief Yingzhou he had never met. The Spiritual Power storage required just to summon these soldiers was already extremely strong!

"Oh? More troops are coming out!"

Qi Tuowei's thoughts were pulled back by Dong Jian, and he saw soldiers walking out of the Transport Aircraft cabin again.

"You've got to be kidding me? There's more?"

Qi Tuowei felt that the number of times he had been surprised today was the most he had experienced in a long time.
