Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 85 Pre-Battle Preparations

The three people squatted on the grass, pondering why this was happening.

"Will these bows and arrows still be distributed?"

Ouyang Nian broke the silence and asked first.

"I want to send it, but I don't dare. I'm afraid he'll use a bow and arrow to get killed by the special forces agents."

Lorraine turned to look at Platinum and asked.

"If he ambushes you in the shadows, can you kill him without getting hurt yourself?"

"It's not a big problem, but it will be very troublesome."

Bai Jin stated that if the other party were to disappear into the crowd, it would be easy for them to accidentally injure civilians during the pursuit.

"Should we pin him down beforehand?"

Lorraine thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, stating that ensuring the safety of the factory's technicians was the top priority.

"I'm going to go find Liu Yufeng and ask him what's going on with this guy."

Lorraine stood up, looked at Platinum, and said.

"Please take the Kheshig and his men and surround this area. If anything unusual happens, shoot them on the spot."

"no problem."

Platinum started recruiting people through the communication channel.

Lorraine then led Ouyang Nian to the cafeteria to look for Liu Yufeng.

As soon as the two reached the entrance of the cafeteria, they saw Liu Yufeng and Han Xiao organizing discipline at the meal distribution window.

"Wait a minute, let's not cause a commotion."

After all, Ouyang Nian, with his clean clothes and outstanding appearance, was incredibly attractive to some people with ulterior motives. Luo Lin didn't want his girlfriend to be exposed to these people.

Ouyang Nian gave a haughty snort and hid with Luo Lin in the shadow of a nearby deserted building.

Then she secretly slipped her tail into Lorraine's hand.

Lorraine released Ouyang Nian's tail and instead grabbed her hand.

The two held hands, munching on energy bars, while waiting for Liu Yufeng to appear.

About 45 minutes later, after everyone in the cafeteria had left, Liu Yufeng and Han Xiao finally came out.

Lorraine looked around and, finding no one else nearby, released Ouyang Nian's hand, stepped out of the shadows, and beckoned Liu Yufeng over.

"I have a question for you. Do you know anything about this person?"

Lorraine opened her portable terminal and showed Liu Yufeng the picture of that person.

"This is Liu Tusheng. Is there something wrong with him?"

Although Liu Yufeng had some doubts, he still introduced the person's situation.

"He was the most down-to-earth, hardworking, and fearless of death among all the retired personnel. He retired because he was seriously injured in a conflict while protecting his comrades. In addition, there was a sudden change in his family situation and he urgently needed money. After he recovered, his unit contacted many people to transfer him here."

Hearing Liu Yufeng's description, Ouyang Nian was somewhat puzzled.

"How could he be seriously injured while protecting his comrades?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ouyang Nian realized what was happening and hurriedly asked.

"Does he have any close friends or relatives at the camp?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yufeng realized what was happening and said he would find out the truth as soon as possible.

"Therefore, the training plan will be changed to a 5-day intensive training program, and it will be announced that a new patrol team will be established after the intensive training is completed, and the compound bow will be handed over to the patrol team for use."

"Good idea, when should we issue a statement?"

"Once they begin training, cut off their contact with Liu Tusheng."

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

Liu Yufeng saluted Luo Lin and then left in a hurry.

"Let's go back and find Platinum."

The two told Platinum about the follow-up arrangements and the specific details.

"I think this plan is fine. I'll talk to him after today's training."

After arranging today's operations, Lorraine told Ouyang Nian to go back to the office building to rest, while he discussed another matter with Bai Jin.

"Do you remember the ominous feeling I mentioned to you before?"

Platinum nodded and said.

"Weren't you thinking about this this morning?"

"Yes, so I need your help."

This was the first time Platinum had ever heard Lorraine ask him for a favor in such a formal tone.

"What kind of help?"

"When the time comes, help me knock Ouyang Nian unconscious and carry him off the ship."

"What is this?"

Lorraine waved her hand, stopping Platinum from asking a question.

"I'm not sure what size this thing is right now, but I don't want you to take any risks with me."

"There has to be someone on the ship responsible for repairing the hull, right?"

Platinum asked excitedly.

"After the ship was upgraded, I asked Cleveland about its ability to convert stored materials into nanobots to repair damaged hulls."

"So you're just going to be a lone hero like this? What about us?"

Platinum, her eyes red, questioned him.

Looking at Platinum's excited expression and red-rimmed eyes, Lorraine fell silent.

He replied after a moment.

"This is the only time I don't want you to take that 10% risk with me."

He then tried a different approach to argue his point.

"I'll leave a Cleveland subroutine in the server room over there. If the flagship unfortunately loses power, I'll need you to tow me back in a cargo ship."

Platinum understood his excuse, but she was helpless, since he could have Cleveland throw them onto the landing craft and control the landing craft to leave the flagship.

"Just this once. I will not leave no matter what happens in the future. As for Ouyang Nian, you can explain it to him yourself."

In the end, she accepted the fact.

Lorraine nodded and then walked toward the office building.

He stood downstairs at the office building, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed Ms. Lin Shu's number to tell her about the current situation, hoping that she could help persuade Ouyang Nian.

After listening, Ms. Lin pondered for a moment and offered a method that was not really a method.

"I can help you calm Xiao Nian down after you disembark, but I still hope you can give him an explanation in person, or at the very least leave him a letter."

"Ms. Lin, thank you."

Lin Shu gently shook her head, indicating that this was not a problem.

After hanging up the call, Lorraine composed herself before daring to go upstairs and face Ouyang Nian.

"Honestly, what are you two whispering about for so long?"

Ouyang Nian put on a fierce look and threatened.

At this moment, Lorraine did not notice Ouyang Nian's slightly reddened eyes.

"Weren't we discussing some tactical issues with her? We brought you back because we were worried you'd be bored."

Lorraine explained with a forced smile.

"Hmph, this is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time."

Ouyang Nian's words had a double meaning.

"I promise, just this once."

Lorraine successfully calmed Ouyang Nian down.

"That's more like it. Come here, let me lean on you for a bit."

Following Ouyang Nian's instructions, Lorraine stood against the wall, and then Ouyang Nian leaned against Lorraine, closing his eyes to rest.
