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

three days later.

Rose: "Dear students, the Thorn has landed at the Anning Star Base. This trip has ended. Please disembark in an orderly manner and proceed to the accommodation area according to the instructions of the base's artificial intelligence, 'Anning'."

Leng Ran had already packed everything into compressed packages, held them in her arms, and set foot on the land of Anning Star.

Because most of Anning Star is covered by desert and living conditions are harsh, the Anning Star headquarters uses an energy shield that can isolate sandstorms to ensure the normal life of the people in the base.

Beyond the protective shield lies a yellowish-brown sky, with sand swirling in the wind. When not in mecha combat mode, special protective masks that filter air impurities are required for movement.

This is a planet with a harsh environment, extremely unsuitable for human habitation, yet it has stood firm in a fierce battle against alien beasts for over a century, making it an impregnable military fortress.

Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives in the endless sandstorms, all to protect the safety of the thousands of residents behind them.

They had no choice and no way out.

-------

Accommodation area.

Some freshmen are queuing up to wait for the robots in charge of logistics to distribute their dorm rooms.

Gao Xiao: "I heard that the dorms here are all four-person rooms. I wonder if we'll be assigned to the same room?"

He Xiting clasped his hands together: "Let's split it up together..."

Zhao Yuheng: "Statistically speaking, it's unlikely. To help the new students integrate quickly, this time everyone drew a number, which was completely random."

As one freshman after another was assigned a dormitory and left with their belongings, it was soon Leng Ran's turn.

She took the display screen from the robot, pressed a button, and countless numbers flashed by quickly before finally settling on 301.

The robot next to him handed over a card: "Mo Li, congratulations on drawing a single room. This is your access card, please keep it safe."

Looking coldly at the access card in her hand, she didn't think it was really just luck.

It is highly likely that Uncle He pulled some strings for me, making me the lucky one to have a single room.

But this is good too. Living alone means I don't have to worry about my identity being exposed, and I have much more freedom of movement.

He Xiting exclaimed enviously, "Wow, a private room!"

Zhao Yuheng: "Military bases should all be four-person rooms, but there's an extra person, so they're forced to stay in a single room?"

Robot: "That's right. Apart from room 301, all the other students' dormitories are on the fourth floor. The rooms on the third and second floors were originally prepared for the border guards and instructors."

He Xiting leaned closer to Leng Ran: "Ali, how's it going that your brother is living with you?"

Before I could even give a curt reply, the robot stopped me: "According to the rules, dormitories cannot be changed."

He Xiting said dejectedly, "Alright."

"What a pity," Leng Ran said, feigning regret. "It's alright, although we can't live together, you're welcome to come and visit."

He Xiting: "Ali is the best!"

Gao Xiao pulled He Xiting away: "Alright, alright, stop being so lovey-dovey. Ali, go pack your things first."

Leng Ran: "Okay, I'm leaving now."

She carried the supplies bag toward the dormitory, and just as she reached the door, she bumped into an old acquaintance coming out of the next room.

It was Instructor Lin.

She hadn't seen Instructor Lin since the hostage game ended, and she never expected to run into him here.

I heard that Instructor Lin was seriously injured after being beaten up, and was eventually carried away by the other instructors.

Looking at the person in front of her, the image of Instructor Lin with a black eye involuntarily flashed into her mind, and she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"Instructor Lin, how is your injury?"

"Hmph, it's all thanks to you." Instructor Lin rolled his eyes at her. "You're so happy? Your smile is harder to suppress than an Ak."

Leng Ran would never admit it, and replied quite naturally, "Oh, you misunderstand. I'm just genuinely happy for you that your injuries have healed."

Instructor Lin was speechless. Although he knew the person in front of him was talking nonsense, he couldn't find any fault with it on the surface.

He waved his hand: "You can save your breath, go back to your dorm, and it's best to stay as far away from me as possible."

“Okay, I’ll go back to the dorm.” Leng Ran readily complied and swiped the swipe card to open the door to room 301 in front of Instructor Lin. “However, for the next two weeks, we’ll be neighbors, Instructor Lin.”

Instructor Lin suddenly felt a headache, and his chest, which had been coldly kicked earlier, seemed to be throbbing.

Having such a troublemaker among the freshmen is not easy to deal with.

Unlike Instructor Lin, Leng Ran in the dormitory was in a good mood.

The room in front of me is a standard four-person room with two bunk beds, a private bathroom, and a window with a view of the outside scenery.

Yangon flew out, his eyes flashing slightly: "Scanned, no surveillance or eavesdropping devices have been installed."

It must be said that Yangon is still very cautious, even though it is territory belonging to friendly forces.

She opened the wardrobe with a cold expression, and a section of handwritten small characters in a different font on the wardrobe door caught her attention.

"Good luck, my comrades."

"-The same to you."

"Live on, comrade!"

"I miss home, but I can't go back."

Although I don't know if the person who wrote these words is still alive or has returned home safely, seeing their dialogue across time still evokes many emotions in me.

For the border guards, stepping onto Anning Star means that they will not be able to go home for a long time to come.

They might even perish here.

Just as Leng Ran finished packing her luggage, An Ning broadcast a message.

Anning: "All first-year and third-year students, please proceed to the viewing platform at the open-air training ground."
