Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 78 Canteen
"The barracks we are in is the fourth squadron of Kleiner Star." On the way to the cafeteria, Sarah continued to explain the situation here to Frege, "Although the name is the fourth, this is the only one on the planet today." It belongs to the military barracks of the Galactic Federation."

"What about the other squadrons?"

As soon as the question was uttered, Frege regretted it instantly, and Sarah's eyes and tone of voice had already explained the question quite clearly.

"The Third Army Battalion was destroyed last year. They are the longest-standing position other than us," Sarah shook her head. "Now their garrison has become a military fortress of the Kingdom of Sardis, right next to us." in neighboring cities."

"The other troops have basically withdrawn from this battlefield. Our main enemy is the army in the next town."

"But there are too many enemies. If it weren't for our favorable terrain, I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold on to this stronghold until now," she said, stopping suddenly, "This is the cafeteria."

Frege looked up and found that the so-called cafeteria was nothing more than a larger tent, which was full of soldiers from the second squad that had retreated from the training ground just now.

"team leader."

"team leader!"

Frege suddenly heard movement behind him, turned around and saw eight well-dressed soldiers lined up behind Sarah.

She glanced at the quartz watch on her wrist, and the pointer pointed to "17:30" impartially.

"You guys are really on time." Sarah waved her hands weakly, "Find a place to eat by yourself. We will gather on the school field in 10 minutes. I will introduce the new team members to you."

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison, and their curious eyes fell on Frege in unison.

"Just follow me."

Sarah waved her hand to signal the team members to disband, glanced behind her and ordered.

Frege hurriedly followed his footsteps. At this moment, he was still a little curious. Is there only such a few people in the seventh team?
Sarah took the dinner plate and led him around the tent, and finally found two vacant seats in the corner. She motioned Frege to sit down with her eyes and continued, "You must be curious, why don't we just take the Nutrients instead of sitting down and eating pre-cooked food like you are doing now."

"Actually, I'm not curious about this..."

Frege muttered something in a low voice, and quickly added before Sarah frowned, "I mean, because the frontline supplies are scarce, it's too wasteful to use nutrient solution as a strategic resource necessary for protracted warfare for daily use."

Sarah nodded when she heard the words, "Your knowledge is good, did you really not go to the battlefield before?"

"No," Frege said with a wry smile, "but I tried to persist in the desert for a month with three weeks' supplies."

Of course he was referring to the time on the "Arche", he already had a personal understanding of this extreme survival.

But that situation is a bit different from the current one. To say why he can realize this, it has to be attributed to the simulation training Noah gave him on the ship.

"Well," Sarah looked more satisfied in his eyes, "It seems that your willpower should not be a problem. I am more worried about your physical fitness."

"There is no equipment for testing physical fitness in the military camp. You can tell me about your level of ability, so that I can arrange future tasks more conveniently."

"Strength D, Reaction C, Speed ​​C, Constitution D..." Frege observed the other soldiers around him, randomly selected the attributes of one of them and reported it to Sarah, "Ability is a specialty, I His cooking talent is outstanding."

"Hahaha……"

Since Frege didn't deliberately lower his voice, the members of the second team around him laughed out loud when they heard it.

Frege took a second look at the player who laughed the loudest.

——What he reported just now is actually the attributes of this person.

"Cooking...uh..." Sarah couldn't laugh or cry immediately, "Then just treat it as if you don't have any special abilities."

"Reaction, speed..." She lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Maybe you can only be responsible for the investigation work, and your attributes in combat may hold back other teammates."

What she said was straightforward, and it seemed that she was merciless, but in fact, this kind of real thing was needed in the barracks.

Face does not bring victory in war, nor can it save a person's life.

"I see."

"Investigation work may be easier...injury," she said in a somewhat cryptic manner, and Frege understood that she meant it was easy to sacrifice, "But I will take you with me. In the past, the team's investigation was done by I am alone in charge."

Frege couldn't help but look at her more when he heard the words, and Sarah's panel appeared in his mind again:
【Name: Sarah】

[Race: Human (improved species)]

【Age: 28】

【Gender: Female】

【Strength Rank: B】

【Response grade: B】

【Speed ​​grade: C】

[Physical rank: C]

[Brain development degree: 27%]

[Ability level: 2]

[Ability: Concealment]

[Concealment: Can enter a short-term stealth state, unable to be recognized by the naked eye (can be captured by thermal imaging)]

[Character evaluation: It is said that she has no interest in men]

It's actually a rare camouflage ability...

Frege still remembered several of the rarest abilities that Noah had told him, including the abilities of camouflage.

"My ability is invisibility," Sarah said without reservation to Frege. "As long as you are by my side, you and I can be invisible together, but the duration will be relatively shortened."

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, and Frege held it lightly for a moment.

Without warning, he found that his body gradually faded, and then turned into a piece of transparency. He could feel the existence of his limbs, but he couldn't observe them with his naked eyes.

This experience is almost the same as when Amrodia loaded the Sequence 4-08 crystal.

"When are you going to hold it?"

Hearing Sarah's voice, Frege immediately let go of his struggling little hand, and the figures of the two reappeared on the seat.

"What a magical power!"

Frege sighed sincerely.

Sarah didn't respond, and her face turned pale after hearing this sentence.

"Have you finished eating? Let's go to the school grounds after eating."

She didn't intend to continue explaining, but Frege had already seen something unusual in it.

Maybe there is something unknown about Sarah's past, but Frege doesn't care about that.

It was a complete accident that he came here, and his purpose was as simple as surviving.

"Squad Seven can't get permission to use the school field during the day," Sarah said in a low voice, "so we usually train at night."

"I see……"

Frege nodded casually.

At that time, he saw that there was still a large area of ​​open space on the school field. Even if Kate's second team had five or sixty people in total, it wouldn't hurt to add them to the seventh team, which had less than ten people.

Obviously, this is no longer a simple matter of rules. There are many factors related to power and status behind the allocation of resources.

Just as he was thinking like this, Sarah in front of him suddenly stopped in her tracks. Before he could react, the captain rushed to the front with a "whoosh".

"Go away!"

She pushed away a few soldiers surrounding the outside, went to the crowd and helped the soldier who fell on the ground, "What are you doing!"

Frege took a closer look and found that the man being held up by Sarah was one of his teammates who had just met at the door. He glanced at the surroundings and knew what happened.

The member of the seventh team was beaten with blood on his face. Looking at the expressions of the people around him, most of them were ridiculed and ridiculed. Occasionally, a few people who showed sympathy also stood far away from the periphery, not at all. No intention of stepping forward to help.

"Linus, how are you?" Sarah looked at her team members anxiously, "I'll take you to the infirmary right away."

Sarah seemed to have no intention of haggling with them. Frege knew that the captain was also very disturbed when he saw the blue veins on her forehead jumping back and forth.

It's just... the reason for her tolerance is easy to understand.

The situation is stronger than the people. The dozen or so people watching here are all from the second team. In a real fight, it is impossible for her to gain the upper hand.
