After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Thorn Ship Canteen.

The third-year students quickly formed teams and left the cafeteria, also managing to rescue fellow third-year students Shen Junhan and Lu Haoyu, and together they went to rescue Zhou Rui, who was being held in solitary confinement.

They still have some conflict of interest with the first-year students, since the team that completes the rescue mission first will receive a higher score reward. Of course, the senior students also believe that the difficulty of their mission is greater than that of the freshmen.

Once the freshmen calmed down, they quickly remembered their main task: "The upperclassmen have all left, so what should we do now?"

"Go rescue them! Isn't there another brother locked up?"

After witnessing Leng Ran's complete rampage, the greatly inspired soldier, standing on a chair, exclaimed, "Let's go! Charge those machine guards! We soldiers will do it without hesitation!"

The freshman commanders shouted: "A bunch of reckless brutes! What's the difference between you charging in like that and just feeding the enemy?! We need to form a team too!"

The soldier scoffed, "What's the use of a squishy commander? Just now, my brother single-handedly fought his way through!"

The commander angrily retorted, "Do you think you're all Mo Li? What normal soldier could twist the heads off fifteen robots with his bare hands?!"

Mecha designer: I dare not speak, I dare not speak at all.

“Classmates, I have a good suggestion.” Zhao Yuheng stepped forward, “Forming teams is still necessary, so why don’t we elect a temporary team leader who can be respected by everyone?”

All eyes turned to Leng Ran, who was drinking an energy drink.

Leng Ran: ...Why am I being forced to work today too?

She swallowed the last sip of her drink, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up: "Fine, I only have one requirement. Anyone who wants to work for me must obey my orders unconditionally!"

"Then we have to listen to Brother Li!"

"Brother Li, please help me out! I want points!"

“Not bad.” He nodded coldly. “Then, I’m going to issue the first order!”

"Ten minutes to form teams freely. Each team consists of one commander, two to four single soldiers, and one mech designer. The timer starts now! If you can't form a team... then don't follow me."

Upon hearing this, even if the commanders and individual soldiers disliked each other, they were forced to shake hands and make peace, obey Leng Ran's orders, and start looking for teammates who were still acceptable.

The ten-minute countdown ended, and Leng Ran surveyed the area, seeing that everyone was already lined up in their respective teams, a total of ten teams.

Leng Ran: "My second order is that I will hand over the overall command of this hostage rescue operation to Zhao Yuheng, who will be responsible for developing the specific rescue plan."

Zhao Yuheng was singled out, and the freshmen all cast curious glances at him. They had heard of Zhao Yuheng as one of this year's special admissions students, and his distinctive silver hair had left a deep impression on them.

Some of the commanders whispered among themselves: "The Zhao family has very strong command genes. It's said that Zhao Yuheng is already a level five commander!"

Leng Ran naturally heard it too.

However, Zhao Yuheng's command level is higher than his, probably by more than five levels.

Zhao Yuheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mo Li. Now, please follow my instructions."

He used his mental power to ask Leng Ran, "Mo Li, should I consider your combat strength?"

He replied coldly, "What? What was your original plan?"

Zhao Yuheng: "If you participate, the tactics are very simple, just charge in. If you are not interested, then we will have to take a more roundabout approach."

Leng Ran: "Guess why I gave you command?"

Zhao Yuheng: "...Understood."

Zhao Yuheng summoned ten commanders and shared his observations with them in a telepathic manner.

"As you can see, the hostage is currently being held in his dormitory, room 190. There are two routes from the cafeteria to the second floor, one to the north and one to the south. The southern route passes through the virtual pods and is heavily guarded by about thirty robots. The northern route is relatively more relaxed and passes through the training room, but it is a longer route and is the choice of the senior students."

"There are two paths from the second floor to the first floor, one going north and one going south. But the most troublesome part is the dormitory area on the first floor. Our target is in the south corridor, where there is only one path to choose from, and it is crowded with robot guards."

"The senior students are in the north corridor, and so far we haven't seen any robots."

One of the commanders asked, "That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, the defense against the senior students should be stronger than ours."

Zhao Yuheng smiled gently: "That's right, but don't forget about the gray fog."

The questioner immediately realized: "So, it's highly likely that the instructors are wearing gray fog masks and personally guarding the area!"

The gray fog can block mental detection, and when the instructors wear it, it's like putting a cloth over the eyes of all the commanders.

Zhao Yuheng: "So, I have reservations about whether the defense of the northern route is really as loose as it seems."

The second squad leader said, "Shall we choose the south? With Mo Li around, we should be able to force our way through."

Zhao Yuheng: "No, we will split into two groups."

The fifth team commander said, "Two routes? We already have so few men, wouldn't splitting them up make us even less likely to win?"

Zhao Yuheng explained, "The reason for splitting into two groups is not to pass the test, but to recruit people from the training room and the virtual pod. If we don't gather as many new students as possible in advance, even with Mo Li there, it will be difficult to break through the first-floor corridor area full of guards."

"In addition, the third and second floors are the sections that the third-year students and we can pass through together. Only the first floor is the battlefield that truly belongs to us alone."

"What we need to do is to conserve our strength as much as possible on the second and third floors, follow behind the third-year students to gain their advantage, and then fight them to the death on the first floor!"

Team Two Commander: "I think it's feasible! Let the senior students explore the road ahead first."

After discussing the general direction of the operation, Zhao Yuheng meticulously arranged the division of labor for each team, but he did not mention Leng Ran's task, which puzzled the freshmen.

As the nominal leader, if Leng Ran does nothing, the morale of the entire team will be dampened.

One soldier asked, "Then what is Brother Li doing? Isn't he leading us to fight our way up?"

"Of course I'll stay behind to protect you from any surprise attack." Leng Ran cleared his throat and raised his voice, "Comrades, you lead the charge, I'll cover the rear. Please entrust your backs to me!"

Freshmen: Oh, I see. I'm so touched and relieved. Is this what they call boyfriend material?

Leng Ran: I can slack off again, yay!

Thus, both sides got what they wanted.

Zhao Yuheng roughly read her thoughts from her cold expression and spoke up in time to shift everyone's attention to him.

"I will adjust the action plans of each team according to the situation on the ground. Now, let's get ready to go!"
