NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Not to mention that she had never seen such a scene before, even the Deputy Minister Ampa standing behind her was twitching with excitement.

"How long was the interval between the first shot and the last shot?"

"Uh……"

The girl put down her work, glanced at the data screen above, and instantly calculated the interval of the voice recording.

“...3.77 seconds, Minister.”

Vice Minister: "..."

Shafie: "..."

Two experienced route planners: "..."

The silence in the air lasted for less than a blink of an eye. Ampa, after all, was a man who earned his living in the intelligence department through sheer ability. His strong mental fortitude enabled him to quickly make the most reasonable judgment and decision.

"All data from this mission is triple-encrypted, has a destruction mechanism, and is not backed up."

"This mission has been upgraded to top secret."

"The three of you, come to my office to sign the confidentiality agreement when the squadron is resting."

After saying that, the deputy minister, with a stern face and his hands behind his back, calmly left the classified command room.

A few minutes later,

Holding a glass of champagne and wearing a forced smile, Intelligence Minister Nikolai Ye answered a call from Ampa at the Salon on the Praise ship…

"Old Ye, from now on, remember to stand up to those bastards at headquarters. Don't embarrass our intelligence department, you hear me?"

Nikolai Ye: "???"

Chapter 231 A sneak attack!

Late at night,

A small town in the K-08 district.

The lieutenant, lying in an abandoned building, was fast asleep, his backpack serving as a pillow.

As for Mihara and the others, because Niki's sleep time is very short and the intervals between sleeps are quite long, and the squadron has a total of thirteen Nikis.

To be honest, fighting such a rich battle was a first for Lhabi, who was in charge of arranging shifts and standing guard.

“The farther away the sentry post is, the better.”

If the sentry post is too far from the commander, then the circumference will be larger, and naturally, more sentry posts will be needed.

Lapi, positioned on the opposite corner from Phoenix, quietly instructed his teammates, explaining everything in detail:

"Moreover, outposts that are too far away are not conducive to assembly."

Imagine if I positioned all twelve of you 1.5 kilometers away. In the event of a Lecher encounter and a battle, the person furthest from that direction would need to travel 3 kilometers to provide support.

This effectively weakens our numerical advantage and increases the difficulty of assembling.

Therefore, with thirteen people, I think 500 meters is the best distance.

The sentry post was divided into six directions, with the remaining seven people stationed in the center. No matter which direction a problem occurred, these seven people could arrive at the scene within thirty seconds to provide support.

...If we include the commander, that makes eight people. That's equivalent to two Niki squads being able to arrive on the battlefield at any time.

Lapi spoke very seriously, and Niki, including Yuni, listened very attentively.

Especially for Mihara, as Phoenix's first wife, the best way to keep the various vixens joining the harem in the future was to constantly improve her knowledge and use her talents to leave them speechless.

"There are thirteen of us in total. Of the seven people sitting in the center, four can sleep."

In this way, a cycle is completed in three days, ensuring that everyone gets sufficient rest and avoids experiencing poor mental health.

"Lavi, do you think this arrangement will work?"

After a moment's thought, Mihara proposed her own scheduling plan, which was simple, efficient, and quite feasible.

Unfortunately, the vice-captain shook his head.

"There's no need to sleep all night. The seven people sitting in the center are divided into two groups, one resting for the first half of the night and the other for the second half, so they can take turns every two days."

Alright, it's getting late. The list of people on guard duty today is: Mihara, Yuni, Anis, Christine, Marian, and Helen.

I was responsible for instructing Helen on the precautions for standing guard, and we discussed which position each of you should go to as we walked.

Set off."

……

……

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, under the cover of night.

A graceful Eastern figure, carrying a wine jug, stepped into section K-08, seemingly drunk but not quite.

"Young master has kept his promise and arrived. Wonderful~ wonderful~... hiccup."

Sensing that her hairpin was nearby, the sleepy-eyed Honglian chuckled, seemingly thinking of something amusing. She then took off her high-heeled shoes, which were big enough to pierce through the core of the Lecher, and silently slipped into the small town.

“The sentry posts on the ground will be different from what you think of as sentry posts, Helen.”

On the top floor of a certain building, Lapi pulled out several thin-film cameras from his backpack and said:

"When you can see Lecher, Lecher can also see you, so we need to use these specially designed patch cameras. We use the camera's image for real-time monitoring."

Surveillance itself isn't difficult; what I'm going to teach you is how to place the cameras to achieve maximum coverage.

Looking at the high-tech equipment in the vice-captain's hand, Helen was momentarily stunned and asked blankly:

"If it's a camera... then, wouldn't everyone just need to set up the camera and go back to the commander to monitor everything?"

Lhabi: "..."

Seeing the noble girl's innocent expression, the vice-captain glanced helplessly at the ground.

"...Humans have no signal towers on the ground, and the intelligence agencies communicate with us through the only satellite in space."

To transmit signals to a satellite, we would need a large signal station resistant to Ivira particles, which is something we cannot carry.

Therefore, all surveillance cameras use short-range wireless signals. The kind of network-based cameras you're talking about…

It can only be used inside the Ark.

Helen: "..."

After Lhapi's simple and easy-to-understand explanation, the noblewoman finally realized how presumptuous her question had been.

"So that's it..."

Because of the awkwardness, Helen was like a student who had made a mistake and was being stared at by the teacher with a death stare, her gaze wandering everywhere, but she dared not look directly at Labi.

suddenly!

With just a casual glance, Helen, standing by the window, suddenly noticed a faint white dot flashing across the dark street in the distance.

The white dot was moving so fast that the girl was unsure if she had misjudged it.

“Lavi”.

"Ah."

"I think... I think I saw something, white, but I didn't see it clearly, and it just flashed by across the street."

Chapter 232 What's the point of him being a bird?

White point?

A white dot moving at extremely high speed?

For Lhapi, who was fortunate enough to have seen the pilgrims, the only thing she could think of that best matched Helen's description of the white creature was...

—Only Snow White, one of the pilgrims.

Niki, the one who single-handedly killed the tyrant-level Lecher "Blacksmith" and then forced another intelligent gorilla, Lecher, to run rampant through the streets.

Could it be her?

If it really is her, what is she doing here?

Are you here to redeem the promise you made to the Commander for saving Anis?

Lapi frowned in thought. She didn't think Helen was seeing things, because Niki's visual receptors were different from humans'; they only caused various terrible visual errors when they were damaged.

We should still inform Lorf and the others; it's good to be on the safe side.

Unexpectedly, just as Lapi was about to turn on his microphone to notify Lorf and the others who were stationed in the center, an angry question came through the squadron's voice chat at just the right moment.

"Answer me, all of you! Where did the wound on the young master's cheek come from?!"

……
