52: You are the battalion commander, I will follow your orders.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph."

"Mmph, mmph."

Xiao Niannian heard the cries of the two people and looked at them.

When the two saw Xiao Niannian looking at them, they were extremely excited.

They blinked their eyes desperately, wanting Xiao Niannian to save them, to untie the ropes on their hands and remove the cloth gagging their mouths.

Xiao Niannian raised her finger and gestured at them.

"Do not speak. I will deal with the other person first. You are not in any life-threatening danger right now."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, one of them nodded and quieted down.

The other person, however, kept making "mmph, mmph, mmph" sounds. His eyes were full of tears, and he was terrified. Why had this Female Comrade subdued this person but still not come to rescue them?

Xiao Niannian dragged the tied-up person to the corner and gagged his mouth with a cloth again.

Just as she finished dealing with him, she heard footsteps.

These footsteps were somewhat familiar.

Xiao Niannian recognized them as Lu Jing's footsteps. Her heart filled with joy; had Li Le managed to contact Lu Jing?

This was truly great.

Lu Jing heard that Xiao Niannian had followed someone into the room. After scouting, he chose the same method as Xiao Niannian.

He moved to the hole and met Xiao Niannian's gaze.

Xiao Niannian spoke up.

"Come down."

Xiao Niannian lowered her voice, but Lu Jing still heard it. He quickly jumped down and stood in front of Xiao Niannian.

"There is another enemy who went to the restroom and will be back soon. The other one has already been knocked unconscious and tied up..." Xiao Niannian continued. "There are two pre-installed timed landmines over there..."

"Good."

Lu Jing was somewhat surprised; Xiao Niannian had actually scouted the entire situation in the room, knocked out and tied up an enemy, and was able to describe the situation outside in detail.

"Fang Qiang, He Yong, and Xiao Cui are outside."

Lu Jing added.

"When the person enters, we will capture them. I will dismantle the landmines, and you go outside to scout..."

"Good."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian heard footsteps outside, and they instantly separated to hide.

The person who had been clutching his stomach earlier walked back in. As soon as he stepped into the room, he realized something was wrong; his accomplice was missing, and he turned to leave.

"Bang."

Lu Jing immediately struck, kicking the man toward Xiao Niannian.

The man was kicked in the head by Lu Jing and instantly fainted. Xiao Niannian stepped forward quickly, threw a few punches, and kicked him in the head again; the man collapsed immediately.

The accomplice hadn't even reacted before he was knocked out. The weapons and other grenades in his pockets were quickly taken by Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.

After taking the items in his hands, Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian. He felt that these movements of Xiao Niannian's were too familiar.

It was as if she were a Comrade-in-arms who had been trained for several years. Such reactions, such movements—if she weren't one of them, it would be impossible to be this sharp.

"I have a gun in my hand, and there might be more than four people outside. You are the Battalion Commander; I will take your orders."

Hearing Xiao Niannian say she would take his orders, Lu Jing grunted and said.

"Tie him up and gag him. You go out first to check the situation and support them. I will dismantle these two landmines."

"Good."

Xiao Niannian quickly picked up the rope and wire, tied the person up, and gagged him.

Lu Jing had originally intended to help tie him up, but seeing how swift Xiao Niannian was, he turned to dismantle the landmines.

Xiao Niannian, with the gun in her pocket, walked outside without a moment's hesitation.

At a time like this, Lu Jing said he would dismantle the landmines, which meant he was very familiar with such things. Although they weren't explicitly called Special Forces Soldiers right now, privately, the Production Brigade that Lu Jing and his men belonged to was a Special Forces Brigade, and what they learned was all for special military branches.

Xiao Niannian decided that she would work hard to join the Special Forces.

She couldn't just waste her life here when she had been an excellent Special Forces Soldier in her past life.

As for this system, other than the occasional "+1" sounds in her mind, she didn't usually summon it.

Xiao Niannian listened to the movements outside and discovered that, besides the few rows closest to her, hundreds of people were already sitting in the front. The crowd was noisy, with all sorts of sounds.

"Why hasn't the movie started yet?"

"It's almost time."

"I bought some food. Let's eat while we watch later."

Xiao Niannian looked toward the door and saw that at the left entrance, the man was being patted on the chest by Fang Qiang. Soon, this man was dragged out by Fang Qiang and another person.

On the other side, Xiao Niannian heard Li Le slap that man across the face.

"Slap."

"You actually dared to cheat on me with other women! How could you do this to me?"

Before the man could react, he was slapped a few more times.

Listening to the "slap, slap, slap" sounds, Xiao Niannian couldn't help but give a mental thumbs-up. If it were her, she would probably use the same method: take the person away first.

She looked elsewhere and noticed someone who had seen that scene immediately stand up from their chair. Immediately, his gaze swept around, and he started running toward her direction.

Was this person's target the projection room?

When this person passed by Xiao Niannian, she struck.

Xiao Niannian attacked him with a kick, and the man immediately fought back. Xiao Niannian's movements were faster than his, and she kicked him right in the crotch.

"Augh!"

The man crouched down in agony, veins popping out on his face, the pain almost making him explode. How could the woman in front of him be so vicious?

His eyes were filled with hatred, and he reached toward his pocket.

Xiao Niannian grabbed his hand, threw him over her shoulder, slammed him heavily onto the ground, and then tightly gripped his neck with her hand.

The man struggled desperately, and Xiao Niannian struck him again.

"Xiao Niannian, are you crazy? How can you hit the Masses?"

Xiao Niannian heard someone exclaim.

"You are a Soldier, yet you hit the Masses! You will be expelled for this."

Hearing the two loud voices, Xiao Niannian's expression turned cold.

It was Hu Ping and Yang Fang, who had just run over and were loudly berating Xiao Niannian.

"Shut up."

Xiao Niannian raised her voice, warning them.

Hearing Xiao Niannian's warning to shut up, Hu Ping was furious; how could Xiao Niannian be like this at a time like this?

Xiao Niannian applied force and knocked the person unconscious, took out the rope from her pocket, tied his hands and feet, and stuffed a cloth into his mouth.

Seeing that Xiao Niannian ignored them, Yang Fang was even more displeased.

"You actually dare to commit assault in public! How can a person like you be worthy of being a Soldier?"

"Idiots, he is an enemy agent! Shut up."

Their loud shouting had already alerted the enemy.

Xiao Niannian looked around and saw Zheng Si and Qian Wu fighting with someone.

"Niannian, he just pulled out a knife..."

Zheng Si shouted loudly.

Xiao Niannian rushed toward Zheng Si's direction.

Her gaze swept around, and she saw another woman staring in her direction.

Gunshots rang out at that moment.
