Chapter 769: Chapter 377: Nothing But Some Small Fry

"The situation in the border region is complex. There are many unknown factions, so patrol missions aren’t easy!"

Bai Lin said.

"How complex can it be? They’re just a bunch of small fry!"

Sun Yang was still dismissive.

"Sun Yang, don’t underestimate any mission!"

Li Chang’an said grimly.

"Yes, yes, you’re right to lecture me, Captain!"

Sun Yang quickly replied, but his tone was still perfunctory.

Liu Na looked at them and said in a serious tone.

"This patrol mission is not as simple as it sounds!"

"According to our intel, there have been some recent anomalies in the border region, suggesting large-scale illegal activity!"

"So, for this patrol mission, your objective isn’t just to patrol. You also need to investigate these anomalies. If necessary, you are authorized to take action!"

"Understood, Commander!"

Li Chang’an nodded in response.

"This mission won’t be easy. You need to be mentally prepared!"

Liu Na continued.

"Don’t worry, Commander. The Insect Hunter Squad will not disappoint you!"

Li Chang’an said with a determined voice.

"Good. I have faith in you!"

Liu Na nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"The detailed information for this mission is in the briefing. Go back and review it carefully. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Li Chang’an saluted again.

"Go on!"

Liu Na waved her hand.

Li Chang’an led his team out of the command center.

Back in the barracks, Sun Yang was still grumbling.

"I’m telling you, Captain, doesn’t the Commander look down on us? Giving us a mere patrol mission?"

"What’s wrong with a patrol mission? All missions, big or small, serve the Combat Group!"

Shen Qiuyue retorted.

"That may be true, but patrol missions are so boring! There’s no challenge at all!"

Sun Yang was still not happy about it.

"What kind of challenge do you want? Do you want to go head-to-head with the entire Insect Race army?"

Shen Qiuyue’s tone was laced with sarcasm.

"Well, no, but a patrol mission is just so..."

Sun Yang trailed off, at a loss for words.

"Alright, that’s enough complaining!"

Li Chang’an cut Sun Yang off.

"If the Commander assigned us this patrol mission, she must have her reasons!"

"Besides, the briefing said the situation in the border region is complex—not as simple as we think!"

"So, we have to take this mission seriously and not let our guard down!"

"Fine, fine, I get it!"

Sun Yang sighed and fell silent.

"Everyone, review the mission briefing. Get familiar with the specifics!"

Li Chang’an said.

The team members all took out their light screens and began to review the mission briefing.

The briefing detailed the topography of the border region, as well as the situation regarding the recently emerged unknown factions.

The border region was a vast wasteland with complex terrain, a harsh environment, and all sorts of dangerous creatures roaming about.

The recently emerged unknown factions were mainly scattered Alien Martial Artists and Rebel Army groups. They often operated in the border region, conducting illegal trades or carrying out raids.

"These guys have some nerve, daring to operate in the border region!"

Sun Yang said, looking at the briefing.

"They must be taking advantage of the chaos and complexity of the border region to hide and operate!"

Bai Lin analyzed.

"Hmph, just a bunch of clowns. Nothing to be afraid of!"

Shen Qiuyue said arrogantly.

"That may be true, but we can’t let our guard down. We still have to take this mission seriously!"

Li Chang’an reminded them again.

"Don’t worry, Captain. We know what to do!"

Shen Qiuyue nodded.

"Good. For this mission, our primary focus is reconnaissance. We’ll avoid direct conflict with these unknown factions as much as possible!"

Li Chang’an said.

"If we encounter any of them, observe their movements first, gather intel, and then report back to command!"

"Do not act on your own unless it’s an emergency!"

"Understood!"

The team members responded in unison.

"Alright, everyone get some rest. We set out first thing in the morning!"

Li Chang’an said.

"Yes, sir!"

The team members dispersed to get some rest.

「The next morning.」

The Insect Hunter Squad was geared up and ready to go.

They boarded a military hover car and left the base, heading for the border region.

The hover car sped across the wasteland, the surrounding scenery desolate.

Yellow sand filled the sky and loose rock littered the ground. The occasional withered plant was a testament to how harsh the environment was.

"This place really is desolate!"

Sun Yang remarked, looking out the window.

"This is what the border region is like. Harsh environment, scarce resources—that’s why it’s been neglected!"

Bai Lin said.

"Neglected? Isn’t that perfect for them? Those unknown factions can operate freely here without worrying about being discovered!"

Sun Yang said.

"That’s also what makes the border region so dangerous!"

Li Chang’an said.

"The more a place is neglected, the more easily it becomes a breeding ground for evil!"

"The Captain’s right!"

Shen Qiuyue nodded.

"Our mission this time is to clean up this evil and maintain peace on the border!"

"A nice way to put it is ’maintaining peace.’ A blunter way is ’taking out the trash’!"

Sun Yang said with a scoff.

"Taking out the trash is also about protecting more people!"

Han Ruoxi said softly.

"Alright, alright, whatever the young lady says!"

Sun Yang quickly changed his tune, not daring to argue further.

The hover car continued on, moving deeper into the border region.
