The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Lightning Raid

Ji You raised her foot and swaggered ahead to lead the way. Whether it was her walking posture or her facial expression, everything seemed perfectly normal. She was like those old gentlemen in ancient films strolling through the streets with birdcages in the alleys, her demeanor was carefree and at ease.

Almost...

Cheng Haoyue followed behind, unsure whether to step forward or hold back...

”What are you standing there for?”

”Let’s go.” Ji You suddenly turned her head back and urged.

Cheng Haoyue put his foot down again, thinking that since he was already aboard the pirate ship, it wouldn’t be easy to get off now. So, he might as well make the best of a bad situation... With that thought, Cheng Haoyue suddenly adopted a gentlemanly posture too, swaggering behind Ji You.

He Nu was the one trailing behind them, and unlike Cheng Haoyue, he wasn’t particularly worried about Ji You’s decision. As a result, his pace was leisurely, seemingly taking a stroll.

So, for all the viewers closely following this match on the screen, Ji You led her eclectic team straight into the enemy camp without any disguise.

The students conversing inside the camp stopped when they saw the newcomers.

”Someone’s here?”

”Newcomers?”

”A total of three people?”

...

Ji You flashed a smile at the group of students in the enemy camp and said, ”Finally reunited, Captain, I’m here to report.”

”Why’s our camp so out of the way? Almost got the location wrong.” Ji You had already walked up to a tall boy. He had a hint of wariness in his eyes, but mostly he seemed pleased: ”Your names?”

Ji You said, ”I’m He Yu.”

Then she raised her hand, pointing at Cheng Haoyue and He Nu behind her, ”He’s Xiao Qiang, and he’s Xiao Hei.”

Cheng Haoyue, He Nu: ”...”

The face of the enemy captain darkened slightly, and Ji You scratched her head and laughed, ”I don’t know their names either. We met on the way; they’re all from the Sixth Team. We figured we might as well travel together. Hey! You two big guys, hurry up and tell them about yourselves.”

He Nu was just about to speak up—

”Wait a minute!” The enemy captain had caught on to something: ”You’re from the Sixth Team?”

Ji You looked innocent and nodded, ”Yes.”

The enemy captain suddenly understood and smiled, ”Then you got it wrong; we’re the Seventh Team here. No wonder, He Yu? I don’t have anyone by that name in my squad.” As a captain, he had brief information about his squad members on hand, at least knowing the names of the other five students who weren’t present.

This slightly short girl said her name was He Yu, and the enemy captain was sure she wasn’t one of his team members, so he continued, ”To get to the Sixth Team, you need to follow the river upstream for about 5000 meters.”

Ji You’s eyes flickered, then she frowned, ”Huh? Went the wrong way? How could that be?”

With that, Ji You pulled at her hair, appearing quite distressed, ”And another 5000 meters? I remember after a few turns, it’s here. Our camp was supposed to be marked by a big stone.”

In the enemy camp, a girl looked at Ji You and laughed, ”The Sixth Team also has a big stone as a marker, but it’s a lot bigger and grander than ours here.”

Cheng Haoyue and He Nu had been silent. Cheng Haoyue had never experienced such a deceitful scene before, nor had he participated in it. So when Ji You casually fabricated a name, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Just as Cheng Haoyue was unbelievably tense, unsure of what to say next—

He Nu suddenly said, ”If that’s the case, I’ll be on my way.”

After that, he turned and walked away briskly.

Without any hesitation, very crisp and decisive.

The enemy captain saw He Nu’s actions and felt somewhat relieved; this group had just gone the wrong way and posed no other imminent threat. Once these three left, he would no longer worry about the security of the temporary camp.

The enemy captain did not try to stop them nor did he provide any further instructions, just watched He Nu leave.

Ji You saw He Nu’s move and stomped her foot, complaining, ”Really, what’s the rush? Can’t wait a moment, at least go together with the group.”

”Hey! Wait up.” Ji You waved in He Nu’s direction, then turned with a smile, ”Seventh Team captain, till we meet again.”

With that, Ji You turned around and followed.

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

They just... left?

Really... just left?

Cheng Haoyue was baffled; according to his plan, now was the time to start the massacre, take down these five from the enemy side.

Couldn’t.

Cheng Haoyue couldn’t figure out what Ji You and the others were thinking, fearing exposure leading to disaster, he dared not speak and followed Ji You and He Nu with a hint of frustration.

This scene unfolded in front of the five people from the enemy side, the tension within them unknowingly relaxing.

At this very moment, as they leisurely walked towards the Sixth Team, Ji You and He Nu suddenly turned back, and the enemy captain’s heart skipped a beat, instantly feeling an overwhelming pressure.

Whoosh—

An arrow suddenly shot out from Ji You’s palm.

Heading straight for the enemy captain’s forehead.

Thud!

The enemy captain fell to the ground.

He Nu leapt up, delivering a punch to the only girl in the enemy group.

Bam!

The girl’s eyes rolled back, collapsing.

In less than a second, two were taken down, and Ji You didn’t give the remaining three students any chance to catch their breath, her fingers flew, launching another shot.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three arrows at once!

The three remaining students standing in three different positions felt a sharp pain in their backs and were in disbelief!

They had actually been shot?

In the next instant.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The three dropped to the ground.

Cheng Haoyue was holding the military shovel, lifted it up, hesitating whom to hit, only to find all five enemy students were already down.

Down.

So...

What was he lifting the military shovel for?

Cheng Haoyue stiffened, put the shovel down, and said, ”So, that’s it?”

Ji You didn’t say a word. She squatted down and carefully examined the enemy captain’s body, found nothing suspicious or useful, only a small piece of dry bread in the camp.

Ji You tossed the bread to the dumbfounded Cheng Haoyue beside her, ”Eat up.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”For... for me?”

Ji You said, ”Eat up so you have strength for the journey.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”
