The next morning.
The second Corps Task officially began.
The steam locomotive team set out from the Legion Fortress, moving along the road amid the ruins.
The carriage swayed from side to side.
Noland Lee’s body oscillated slightly.
He glanced at the carriage window behind him and sighed silently in his heart.
The past few days of vacation were really exhausting.
Not only did he spend several days going to the Medical Department for his health, but he also had to coax Sully to sleep as soon as possible last night.
No matter how sulky Sully looked, Noland had not crossed the line. When he returned to the camp last night, it was already late.
Truthfully, the views on men and women in this world are quite peculiar.
Both conservative and unrestrained.
If two people don’t like each other, everything is in vain.
But if they are in love, things can become serious just the night they establish their relationship.
It’s as if the suppressed feelings and desires suddenly found an outlet, becoming strong and uncontrollable. This may be due to the barrenness of the spiritual world and the long-term unsatisfied psychological needs.
The original master’s parents were like this, as were the couples he knew.
As Noland sat in the carriage thinking about it, he found it difficult to say whether his great self-control or his animal instincts were more impressive.
The steam locomotive gradually moved away, and the Legion Fortress turned into a shadow, standing at the edge of the horizon.
Noland looked back in through the carriage window.
“What, are you thinking about Sully?” Corporal Mars leisurely wiped his gun oil and teased.
Noland nodded slightly:
“Yeah, I hope we can come back safely this time… Chief Officer, has your hair grown back?”
“Hmm, yes. Last night Sergeant Alvin Stafford brought a Health Potion. After we drank it, our exhausted life force was restored. As for Private Second Class Corbin and the others’ potions, I’ve already exchanged them for New Solon
Currency, and Melinda will help me send them to their families.”
Upon the mention of the comrades who had sacrificed themselves during the previous Corps Task, Corporal Mars’s expression darkened, but he quickly recovered. It was unclear whether he had become accustomed to the pain or if it had made him more resilient.
He scanned the people in the carriage, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
“Alright, mates. You’ve all met each other in the past few days, but I’ll repeat the names here just in case anyone forgot them.
“I am Lulenna Mars, commander of the reconnaissance squad. Sitting to my left is Sergeant Mike Adams, the deputy team leader. When I’m not around, he’ll be in charge.”
