In a line at the Royal Doctor Station, hats were pressed to the lowest possible point, and masks almost covered the eyes.
Gu Xiaotong nodded in satisfaction, the formation was neat, and the disguise was consistent, simply perfect.
If anyone could still recognize her with such a facade, then that would be incredible. Thinking of this, Gu Xiaotong listened to her father’s speech with peace of mind.
The speech had now reached the latter half, with the combat strategy announced. He said, "This operation’s code name is the Minesweeping Plan! Are the special trainees of Warhawk Class 1 ready?"
Each group had a code name, Class 1 was named Warhawk, Class 2 Snow Wolf, and Class 3 Fierce Fox. However, usually, people referred directly to the numbers plus group for simplicity.
However, during missions, it was different; it still required the group’s code name.
Warhawk Class 1 was prepared, the hundred people dispatched this time were all elite, they firmly believed in the orders from above, and swore to achieve victory in this battle!
"Very good!" Gu Tiancheng praised, and then said, "Professor Li Yan will lead Warhawk Class 1!"
Li Yan’s tall figure appeared in everyone’s vision, his expression stern, and he said, "Warhawk Class 1 is fully prepared, ready to depart immediately!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
The special operation unfolded, and everyone was about to face combat. At the entrance to the academy’s center perimeter, more than ten combat jeeps were parked there, waiting for the trainees to fight alongside them.
Li Yan was at the forefront as the vanguard and the highest commander leading the trainees, standing at the front end of the first vehicle, he began arranging for the trainees to board.
The trainees boarded the vehicles in an orderly manner, one after the other with no pause.
"Earl..." A deputy hesitantly stood by the side and said, "Why don’t you get in the car first..."
He knew what the Earl was waiting for, he was certainly waiting for his wife. He had heard about what happened yesterday; the lady also wanted to go on the expedition with the Earl, but she was refused.
Presumably, she was still angry, probably wouldn’t come to see him off now.
Li Yan said so, but his pupils swept across the position of the Royal Doctor at the Medical Center. He couldn’t shake the feeling that one of the figures looked particularly familiar, even a little like an illusion of overlapping images.
Could he be so eager for her to come see him off that he was hallucinating?
His gaze fell on that Royal Doctor, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. He couldn’t help but speak, "Wait a moment!"
The Royal Doctors who were about to get on the vehicles were intercepted, and they stopped in their tracks, somewhat puzzled as they looked at Li Yan. Among them, Gu Tong’s reaction was the most pronounced, her pupils contracted in disbelief. How could she have been recognized, wasn’t that too exaggerated...
Li Yan stepped over with high-raised noble feet, his brows furrowed as he said, "Why are the people from the Medical Center so tightly covered?"
"Reporting, sir, the Royal Doctors try to avoid showing their faces to prevent danger!" the man who had been chatting with Gu Tong earlier replied to Li Yan.
That made some sense! Li Yan agreed and glanced at the Royal Doctors at the Medical Center, saying, "It’s hot, take them off first! It’s not too late to put them back on when you reach the battlefield."
Gu Tong, who wished she could shrink behind the trainees from the Medical Center, trembled. If she took it off, wouldn’t that expose her...
If her husband recognized her, he would certainly not let her participate in such a dangerous battle, he would definitely send her straight back...
However, after all, it was the Earl who said it, she couldn’t refuse.
Moreover, some of the Royal Doctors from the Medical Center had already started removing their masks, her situation was very awkward!
