The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: Repeatedly Switching Sides on the Acting Path

Ji You sat on a small stool, crossing his legs, keeping track of time little by little.

Estimating that Cheng Haoyue’s side had already ended, now, only a small part of the people needed to stay to guard the military base, while the others would all retreat back, taking advantage of the sudden chaos at Shaun’s base, and then launch an attack in one fell swoop.

Calculating the time, estimating that Cheng Haoyue’s party was almost there.

Ji You stood up and reconnected to Wei Yun’s communicator.

Wei Yun, who had just run a short distance, suddenly heard the communicator ringing, feeling surprised, he looked down and saw it was Shaun calling. Perhaps because he was really at a loss, when he suddenly saw Shaun’s communication request, he connected without thinking.

From the communicator, ’Shaun’s’ voice came: ”Wei Yun, where are you?”

Wei Yun said: ”I am in the southwest direction, there’s a big black stone here, and next to it...” Wei Yun simply reported his geographical location and hurriedly said: ”Squad leader, there is a problem with the signal tower, Ji You seems to have been attacked, there’s a mole in our team. How are you? Where are you?”

Ji You’s intonation rose slightly, with a hint of reproach: ”Didn’t I ask you to stay where you are and wait for me?”

Wei Yun choked.

Silence.

A moment later, Wei Yun said: ”The signal tower had issues, squad leader you...”

Ji You’s tone was low, with a hint of anger: ”If the signal tower had problems, could I still talk to you?”

Ah?

That’s true!

Wei Yun slapped himself fiercely, ”I... I was too anxious at the time, so I lost my composure a bit.”

Even though no one was around, the ’Shaun’ in the communicator was too imposing, causing Wei Yun to unconsciously lower his head slightly, adopting a reflective posture.

The next second, Wei Yun heard ’Shaun’s’ voice with a slight sigh, saying: ”Young man, be steady, never panic, and you shouldn’t panic when something happens.”

Wei Yun lowered his head, pursing his lips.

Ji Xiu’en continued: ”The main box has always been with Nina, and I also carry a secondary box. If there is an issue with Nina’s box, mine can generate a main box at any time. How could the signal tower be in trouble? I told you, the signal tower has been upgraded and doesn’t need my constant guarding. As for the mole issue mentioned by Ji You—”

Wei Yun’s heart suddenly tightened.

The next second, Wei Yun heard ’Shaun’ say: ”Ji You is the mole.”

Wei Yun: ”!!!”

The audience outside: ”!!!”

Could this... really be?

”Oh my! If I were Wei Yun, I would be confused too.”

”Every trick she pulls is mind-boggling, any normal person would be bewildered.”

”She’s exposing herself as the mole?”

”Does she not want to live?”

...

No matter what the audience outside thought, Ji You immersed herself in role-playing, feeling utterly delighted. She lowered her eyes, mimicking Shaun’s voice and tone, saying: ”No need to worry, because everything is under my control.”

Wei Yun opened his mouth: ”...Squad leader?”

Ji You said: ”Why do you think I suddenly called her back from the Seventh Team?”

Wei Yun opened his mouth: ”I thought at the time...”

”Pfft—” Ji Xiu’en snorted with a laugh, and said: ”It was just a trick to lure her back to be killed.”

Wei Yun’s eyes suddenly widened: ”!”

Ji You said: ”To be blunt, from the moment she stepped into my base, I never really trusted her, I just kept the troops still, waiting quietly for her to slip up...”

Wei Yun was somewhat speechless, as she really didn’t know what to say or what expression to make, to describe, to express the mixed feelings in her heart at this moment.

Or should she say she was too naive and simple?

Before Wei Yun could organize her chaotic thoughts, she heard ’Shaun’s’ voice come from the communicator: ”Wei Yun, Ji You’s issue is just a minor problem, don’t worry too much about it, we really have a big problem now, the enemy has launched an official attack from the Seventh Team, first contact He Zhen, Jack and others, let them rush to the Seventh Team’s base.”

Wei Yun’s fingers trembled. She wanted to say that Ji You just said the enemy’s target was the military base and Wei Yun herself thought that made a lot of sense. Now Shaun said the enemy was attacking from the Seventh Team?

My God!

If this were true, the people on her side were completely unprepared, they might be beaten to pieces in a face-to-face confrontation...

Wei Yun’s mind was a bit chaotic, then she heard ’Shaun’ continue: ”Ji You, that mole, deliberately misled you into thinking the mutation in the Seventh Team wasn’t lethal, making you complacent on the front lines, and they strike while you’re off guard. First contact He Zhen and others, and move at the speed I indicated along the path I mentioned. I’ve arranged some people there, led by Lester, and you can form an encirclement with them, just waiting for the enemy to break in.”

Wei Yun immediately said: ”Yes, squad leader!”

After cutting off contact, Wei Yun immediately contacted He Zhen. In fact, she was a little apprehensive, because she was sure the signal of the signal tower had really been completely lost earlier, the signal tower should have been broken, all connections interrupted, yet Shaun said everything with the communication was normal? She couldn’t quite believe it at heart, but now ’Shaun’ actively asked her to contact He Zhen, and Wei Yun’s doubts quietly dissolved again.

Whether the signal tower was broken can be known by whether or not she could connect to He Zhen’s communicator.

Wei Yun hurriedly dialed.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Just when Wei Yun was beginning to feel anxious, the communicator connected suddenly, and He Zhen’s voice came through: ”Wei Yun? Has the communication reconnected?”

Wei Yun asked: ”How long was the communication interrupted?”

He Zhen said: ”On my side, it was disrupted for about 7 minutes.”

When Wei Yun heard this, it was almost the same duration as her disconnection, and so, her doubts dissipated. Then, Wei Yun said: ”Our prediction was wrong, the enemy’s attack direction is from the southeast, crossing the border river of the Seventh Team.”

Upon hearing this, He Zhen felt a shock in his heart: ”The enemy is so cunning?”

”Yes.” Wei Yun said with a sullen face, her tone carrying a hint of anger: ”We were deceived, now, brace yourselves, stay alert, and don’t be misled by the enemy anymore.”

He Zhen clenched his fist tightly: ”Got it.”

Then, He Zhen followed the route instructed by Wei Yun and swiftly headed toward the Seventh Team’s base.

...

Signal tower.

Ji You was still sitting on the small stool, tapping the wall idly.

Tap~

Tap~

...

After leaving only a few steady people to guard the military base, Cheng Haoyue took everyone, along the action route Ji You had set for them, and stopped at a very concealed location.

Then, everyone followed Ji You’s guidelines, holding their breath and crawling on the ground.

About 5 minutes later, a rustling sound came from afar.
