145: Chapter 145: Fierce as Wolves and Tigers (Added for Alliance Leader Bing Shan Mu Xue) (49th Update) 145: Chapter 145: Fierce as Wolves and Tigers (Added for Alliance Leader Bing Shan Mu Xue) (49th Update) Su Mo was very uncomfortable in responding.
At this moment, Lin Zinuo stood guard in front of Su Mo.
“Sister Sun Li, what are you trying to do?
You’re not planning to poach him, are you?”
“Zinuo, don’t make it sound so estranged.
We’re all in the same legion, and internal personnel transfers are quite normal, aren’t they?”
Sun Li grinned as she took Zinuo’s hand gently, her demeanor nothing like the oppressive aura she had when she banged on the door.
It was as if she were a completely different person.
No wonder they say a woman changes her face as fast as flipping a book.
It’s not surprising at all.
Lin Zinuo naturally wouldn’t fall for it, though she also wouldn’t offend Sun Li too much.
Although Sun Li wasn’t in her group, the woman was the Deputy Legion Commander, which made her essentially Lin Zinuo’s superior in a sense.
“Sister Sun, your team has plenty of talent, it won’t be short of this one.
Just remembered, Su Mo just arrived, and I haven’t yet arranged a resting area for him, plus there are many things I haven’t explained to him, so we’ll take our leave first.”
After saying this, Lin Zinuo quickly dragged Su Mo away.
Sun Li didn’t get angry, watching the two leave.
Chen Xijie asked curiously, “Sister, it looks like Zinuo won’t let him go easily.”
The more they fight side by side, the more familiar they’ll become, and then it will be easier to poach him.
Such a strong recruit must be snatched up; otherwise, if Tang Yao gets to him first, we’ll be in trouble— that guy is quite slick, not many men can resist him.”
Sun Li became quite annoyed at the end; their group was always precise in recruiting, but Tang Yao solely targeted the people she had her eyes on, snatching them right from under their noses.
Chen Xijie looked around and quickly reminded Sun Li.
“Sister, better keep it down.
If someone hears this, Sister Xue will be scolding you again.”
Meanwhile, Lin Zinuo led Su Mo toward the sleeping quarters.
The whole area was bustling, with girls chatting and laughing.
“This ship is so advanced, each room can adjust its temperature, and there’s even a TV.”
“This is what a real ship should be like, too bad it’s not ours.”
Getting to ride and fight on such a ship is a good opportunity.”
As they walked, Lin Zinuo cautioned Su Mo, “This time The Crane Orchid is fully staffed, so there are no spare rooms.
My room is quite large, so you’ll just have to room with me for now.”
The reason Lin Zinuo did this was simple.
Most of the Sea Battle Group members who came on board were girls.
Many of them were pretty too, and it wouldn’t do for Su Mo to be lured away.
Otherwise, Lin Zinuo would lose more than just face; she had to keep an eye on him herself.
Su Mo didn’t seem to mind too much.
“Quick, quick, is that Su Mo?”
The high-skilled one?”
It’s unclear which girl shouted, but instantly, many girls poked their heads out of the restrooms.
“Wow, it really is Su Mo.”
If Lin Zinuo hadn’t been right by Su Mo’s side, they would have probably surrounded him by now.
The reason the personnel of group twelve held back was because initially Su Mo had caused the deaths of many of their friends, which made them very resistant to him.
Now that Su Mo had gained fame and achieved merits, they felt embarrassed about being openly hostile.
Su Mo noticed how excited the girls were, which made him look even more uneasy.
He felt somewhat glad; choosing to remain in group twelve was indeed a wise decision.
Lin Zinuo glanced at the girls who were like hungry tigers and quickly pulled Su Mo inside.
Soon, the two reached the designated resting room.
Lin Zinuo quickly shut the door and then let out a long sigh of relief, finally escaping the clutches of those love-struck girls for the moment.
Su Mo looked around; it was a double room with two beds, two desks, and it even came with an ensuite bathroom.
“Make yourself comfortable,” she said.
Lin Zinuo sat in a chair, leaned back, and stretched lazily.
She was indeed a bit tired; the sudden mission had caught her off guard.
“What’s our mission this time?
It seems quite serious.
And what exactly is Sky Dragon Guild?”
Seeing a moment of downtime, Su Mo began asking Lin Zinuo.
“Sky Dragon Guild is an organization formed by the Military Department, with the Council President acting as the president of the guild and all council members serving as the cabinet of the guild.
Our Dawn Guild actually serves the Sky Dragon Guild; of course, it’s not just us.
The other top four guilds do the same.”
Lin Zinuo started to explain some secrets to Su Mo.
“You mean we are on a military mission?”
Su Mo asked, somewhat moved and feeling it exaggerated. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⸺fire.net
“Success is the only option.
If we succeed, we all get credit for our efforts.
If we fail, we might all have to appear before the inquiry board.
See how good I am to you, waiting for you at the risk of my own life.”
Lin Zinuo said with a sly smile.
Su Mo was speechless.
“No, but let’s not joke around.
They asked for our assistance.
Even if we fail the mission, they probably won’t trouble us.
After all, they must be lenient with non-professionals, or else it’ll dishearten us.
Who would bother participating after that?”
Lin Zinuo laughed heartily.
“What’s the mission?”
Su Mo nodded, continuing to inquire.
“This mission involves going to an island base to provide support.
It’s likely we’ll need to battle on the island.
But let’s not worry about that right now; we have to get there first.
According to Sister Xue’s intelligence, there’s a high chance we’ll be ambushed en route.
However, don’t be overly concerned.
We aren’t fighting alone; many fleets are with us.
Though not united in spirit, at least on the surface we’re together.
You rest for now, I’ll send you the details via the bracelet later.
I need to head to the control room.
No matter what, as the Deputy Captain, I must fulfill my duty,” Lin Zinuo said earnestly.
Su Mo couldn’t help but shake his head.
Two days later, Su Mo stood on the deck of The Crane Orchid, gazing at the distant seascape.
The scenery was quite pleasant, except for a slightly odd smell of the seawater; there was nothing else.
However, Su Mo wasn’t really interested in the scenery.
After a while, he turned his attention to the fleet surrounding them.
Dawn Guild really had deep resources; they managed to assemble such a fleet at short notice.
Excluding The Crane Orchid, there were a total of nine ships.
Regardless of their combat capabilities, the presence of these ships was undeniable.
However, there was one concerning thing: these ships were not leading in front of The Crane Orchid but slowing their pace and following behind it.
As Su Mo stared somewhat distractedly, Qian Chengxue walked over to him unannounced and spoke softly while gazing into the distance.
“Do you know why I decided to turn back to pick you up?”
