423: Support Shanlanzhou battlefield

So, Commander, let me state the specific plan. If there's anything wrong, please correct me, Lao Wu cleared his throat and said solemnly.

Pan Han felt that Lao Wu had changed quite a bit; the scene had suddenly become serious.

Go ahead, let me hear it.

Commander, since attacking this place yields no profit and it's such a tough nut to crack, there are only three paths to take: 1. Kill them all, leave no one behind; at worst, we just won't support these people in the future. 2. Let them pass, ignore them, and attack other prefectures first. 3. Disintegrate and divide them. With so many factions in Shanlan Prefecture, it's impossible for them to be united; there must be rifts.

Lao Wu stated three alternative plans in one breath, and Pan Han nodded as he listened.

What you said makes sense. I'll consider it, but I need to go over and take a look first. Pan Han raised his head and looked to the west, the direction of Shanlan Prefecture.

The Commander is absolutely right. My analysis at the base is, after all, once removed. Battlefield decisions are best made on the battlefield.

Lao Wu nodded, thinking that if it weren't for work constraints, he would definitely want to go to the front lines to see for himself.

Alright, let's stop here for today. I'll go tomorrow. Tell Asiba to stop the attack for now and rest in place.

Yes! Commander!

Pan Han walked out of the command room and found Lao Liu smoking at the door. Seeing Pan Han come out, he immediately walked up to him.

Commander!

What's up, Lao Liu?

Are you going to Asiba's side?

Yes, how did you know?

I just opened my divine sense and listened in. Saying this, Lao Liu looked like a child who had made a mistake, his face flushed red.

Eavesdropping on the Commander was definitely a serious offense.

Oh? You've got some nerve lately, kid! You even dare to eavesdrop on me? Pan Han said this with his mouth, but he knew in his heart that Lao Liu must have a reason, so he wouldn't truly blame him.

No, Commander. I really had no choice. Hearing Pan Han ask this, Lao Liu panicked and almost knelt down to kowtow and admit his mistake.

Alright, alright. Just tell me what's going on. Pan Han quickly helped him up.

After such a long time of contact, he knew what kind of person Lao Liu was; he would never do anything detrimental to him.

I just want to follow the Commander on the expedition. All the brothers and sisters are fighting, but I'm just a reserve, and it's incredibly boring.

Is that it?

Huh? What else?

Alright, you'll come with me to Shanlan Prefecture tomorrow! We'll go meet the warlords there. I hear they stick together well. I want to see how tough they really are. Go prepare the transport plane. Pan Han thought about it and decided that taking Lao Liu out to get some experience wouldn't be bad, so he readily agreed.

Haha! Thank you, Commander, I'll kneel to you! Hearing Pan Han agree, Lao Liu prepared to kneel again to thank him.

Hey, hey, that's enough. But after you go out, you must follow orders. Don't get itchy hands and act on your own.

Rest assured, Commander. If I cause trouble, you can cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot.

What's wrong with you, kid? Hurry back and prepare. Who would want to use such a big chamber pot!

Hehe! Lao Liu touched his head with a grin, snatched a pack of cigarettes from Pan Han's pocket, and scurried away.

Damn, this kid! Why is he getting more and more like Li Yunlong? He shouldn't have even watched Drawing Sword!

Pan Han touched his empty pocket, looking stunned!

At dinnertime, Pan Han brought the base's specialty, cockroach cakes, for Ellie.

Cheng Xiao had bought a few dishes, and seeing Pan Han's cockroach cakes, she asked in surprise: Why are you feeding Ai Li this?

Sister, it's fine! Since I am now a member of the base, I should naturally be the same as everyone else. Ellie felt nothing, picked up a cockroach cake, and ate it.

Cheng Xiao sighed. After the pilot incident, her heart seemed to have changed, and she was doubting whether doing this was right.

Forget it, since it's already here, don't waste it. Our apocalypse is not like normal times; wasting food is the most shameful thing. Pan Han gave Cheng Xiao an out, placed the food on the dining table, and they all ate together.

I'm taking Lao Liu to Shanlan Prefecture tomorrow; the war there has encountered some difficulties, Pan Han said, taking a bite of the cockroach cake.

Hmm?

Huh?

Cheng Xiao and Ellie both expressed surprise simultaneously. How could he be going out again just after returning from the north?

My Commander, you are now the number one person in Dawn Base and the Dawn Army. Can you not run around? If something happens to you, what will we do? Cheng Xiao was clearly unhappy, put down her chopsticks, and stopped eating.

Husband, I think Sister Cheng Xiao is right, Ellie quickly chimed in.

The two of you, one calls me Commander, the other calls me Husband. Who should I listen to? Pan Han ate the cockroach cake with relish, his mouth full of heads and little legs, greasy, not caring at all.

We are talking about work. You are the Commander right now, put down that cockroach cake! Seeing Pan Han still joking around, Cheng Xiao immediately snatched the food from his hand.

Look, is this the attitude to use when talking to the Commander? Pan Han spread his hands and looked at Cheng Xiao and Ellie.

This was using the identity of a wife to demand things from her husband!

Anyway, I don't agree with you going. It's too dangerous. Cheng Xiao didn't care about anything else; she refused to budge.

I'm just going to take a look, I'm not charging into battle.

That won't do either! Once you're outside, we can't control you. If you insist on charging into the front lines, who would dare to say no?

Sister, is the Shanlan Prefecture you're talking about very dangerous? Ellie asked suddenly.

Dangerous! There's a large population there, and they stick together. Your Sister Asiba is having a very hard time fighting there, Cheng Xiao nodded and said.

Then you'd better not go. Just stay home honestly. If not, I'll go help Sister Asiba. Hearing the word dangerous, Ellie immediately channeled her Knight Order member persona; the leader must absolutely not be in danger.

Pan Han's head was buzzing. He thought that he might not have good days ahead; if things went poorly, everything he did would be controlled by Cheng Xiao.

No way, I have to hurry up and evolve to a higher level. Being suppressed like this is so uncomfortable.

At this moment, Pan Han only had this thought.

You two, stop talking. I really am just going to take a look. The situation in Shanlan Prefecture is special and requires me to make decisions.

Since his mind was made up, he had to interrupt the two women's argument.

Then don't take Brother Liu with you. He can't help! Seeing Pan Han's firm attitude, Cheng Xiao could only change her angle to negotiate terms.

He insisted on coming, and I already agreed. Let's not discuss this matter anymore. Let's eat.

After saying this, Pan Han picked up the cockroach cake and continued to gnaw on it.

Sister, do you see? This is what men are like! We women can only have a say if we are self-reliant.

Seeing that she couldn't move Pan Han, Cheng Xiao could only turn to educate Ellie.

Sister, you're right. When Sister Asiba comes back, let her tell stories about the Daughter Country!

I can tell them too. Tonight, you sleep with me. Don't let that brat Pan get off easy.

Haha! Fine, fine, fine, you two sleep together. Pan Han was helpless against Cheng Xiao's teasing; as long as she stopped talking, anything was fine.

Never mind letting Ellie sleep with her, even if she told him to move out of the villa, it would be fine.

In your dreams! I've changed my mind. Sister, tonight we'll both sleep with him! Don't let him run away! After saying this, Cheng Xiao hugged Pan Han's left arm and had Ellie hug his right arm.

Hey! Let's talk nicely, don't get handsy! I have work tomorrow, tonight is definitely not possible!
