Chapter 152 "What the heck! Bro, your welcome ceremony is watching someone get executed? That's even wilder than ours?"

That day, after a day of training, Lu Xiaoyao dragged her tired body back to her prison-chic single dorm, when she finally received another video call from her brother.

It had been almost a month since they arrived at the Sixth Legion, and her brother was finally setting off for the Third Legion.

Originally, Lu Gui had mocked Lu Xiaoyao about her experiences when they first arrived, being beaten down by veterans in the game as a show of force, saying Lu Xiaoyao was too weak to be abused like that.

He even said that if he had encountered it, he would have made the veterans suffer.

But now that they had gone to the Third Legion, there were no new recruit tests, just ordinary receptions, and Lu Gui even felt the whole process was a little bland.

Until this morning, the first day they arrived they just verified their identities, had a physical examination, and were assigned dormitories. But what they were taken to do this morning made Lu Gui realize one thing—

The people in the Third Legion were far from normal.

However, after learning about the origins of the executed prisoners, Lu Gui understood that the previous battle had been too tragic and memorable for the Third Legion.

Therefore, these veterans' first day of teaching the new recruits was extremely strict, and they even took a group of new recruits to watch an execution.

Even though these military academy students had faced death countless times in the survival game, and had experienced it themselves, they still felt suffocated when they witnessed it in person.

The execution was not humane, and Lu Gui saw several female students vomit on the spot.

Some of the new recruits even had some complaints about the death by extreme punishment, wanting to argue, but when they learned that these were the culprits who almost caused the Third Legion to be defeated last time, resulting in countless deaths, the new recruits were silent.

Although they had the compassion of normal people, they were not saints.

Especially some of the Central Military Academy students, who had attended the funerals of their seniors who had died in this war a few months ago, and many civilians had also died in that battle. Tracing the cause back, it was because these information dealers stole information and sold it to the Zerg, which led to the initial defeat of the war.

They were all human beings, betraying their own kind and doing such things for their own selfish interests. Even those with a saintly heart no longer said anything at that moment.

However, today's scene did bring great shock to the new recruits.

"No way, bro? You're new recruits, and you're going to the border defense already?"

After discussing the extreme execution the new recruits had just witnessed, the siblings talked about what position he was assigned to. Lu Xiaoyao never thought that Lu Gui would be going directly to the border defense regiment.

Lu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed at Lu Gui on the video call. The border defense was more likely to have fights, okay?

Not to mention that the Third Legion had fought against the Zerg before, the original border defense line had completely collapsed, and now it was being rebuilt. The border defense was not a peaceful place!

"I know what I'm doing. You be careful too. Is the Sixth Legion taking you all out to fight all day long?"

Lu Gui had also inquired in advance about the Sixth Legion's reputation as combat fanatics, because he had vaguely realized that the Third Legion was intentionally moving closer to the Sixth Legion.

"What are you talking about? That's someone else. I haven't even left the base yet~"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoyao was also full of resentment. Others were assigned to combat, command, or mecha maintenance, but she was assigned to logistics and transportation.

Heavens!

Logistics and transportation? Who the heck thought of that?

So cruel! Letting her go to the logistics department?

"Pfft~"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's destination, Lu Gui laughed unkindly.

Really, he really couldn't help but laugh. This was not something their family had interfered with.

"Don't laugh!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't laugh. So, what have you been busy with lately?" Lu Gui quickly changed the subject.

"Busy…" When asked this, Lu Xiaoyao stuttered slightly, silent for a long time as if she couldn't say it. After a long time, she finally said, "Taking a driving test."

Lu Gui: "What?"

"Taking the transportation starship driving test!"

Lu Xiaoyao's face flushed red. It was so embarrassing. On the first day she was assigned to logistics and transportation, her senior took her to familiarize herself with the transportation starship and accidentally discovered that Lu Xiaoyao didn't have a driver's license!

Except for the mecha and small combat starship driver's licenses that she had already obtained through military academy courses, she had never tried this kind of large starship.

Moreover, she didn't think she would use it in the future.

But who knew that karma would come so quickly? As a logistics and transportation staff member in the future, wouldn't she have to know how to drive everything?

"Have you passed it yet?" Listening to Lu Xiaoyao's complaints, Lu Gui asked her if she had passed it after so long.

"The exam is the day after tomorrow, right in the legion…"

Speaking of this, Lu Gui inexplicably felt Lu Xiaoyao's guilt.

"Have you not been practicing properly lately?" Lu Gui thought of Lu Xiaoyao's lazy nature, and her current performance made it hard for Lu Gui not to overthink.

"No, no, I practiced, but, but I see the seniors drive differently from the training videos. I always feel that they…"

Lu Xiaoyao hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say that judging from the standard in the teaching videos, these seniors' driving and operations were completely against the rules.

Should she follow the video tutorials or the seniors' experience?

…

"Why do I have to take these driver's licenses?"

Ming媚 received the next task as soon as she came back and hadn't rested for two days: taking various starship driver's licenses.

Large combat starships, transport ships, even civilian passenger starship driver's licenses all had to be taken!

"Just in case."

Duo Lun's answer was very versatile. He didn't tell Ming媚 what to guard against, and Ming媚 of course asked directly.

As a result, the answer the other party gave was that in case of an accident when fighting the enemy, at least she should know how to fly or run with anything that could fly around her.

Ming媚: ???

What kind of accident would that be? She didn't even have a mecha, and she happened to have a starship that she could drive?

Was this hypothesis based on any similar scenes they had encountered before?

Anyway, Ming媚 felt that she couldn't imagine it.

…

"Do you have to take it too?"

After being temporarily arranged with so many tasks by Duo Lun, Ming媚 calculated that she wouldn't have to leave the base for at least a few days, so she specially asked Mu Chen about his recent arrangements.

"I've taken it before."

Mu Chen was also arranged by Duo Lun this time, but hearing that he had already taken all the tests before, Duo Lun had other arrangements for Mu Chen.

Therefore, only Lu Xiaoyao accompanied Ming媚 during the driver's license exam.

Although Lu Xiaoyao hadn't passed the exam yet after Ming媚 got her driver's license =.=

After finishing the exam, Ming媚 was still worried about when the next task would start, but unexpectedly, a major event happened—the central control system of their legion was hacked.
