Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

An endless wilderness.

A line of more than a dozen motorcycles was speeding along.

The roar of motorcycle engines echoed across the empty wilderness, and the dust kicked up by the wheels was dragged by the wind into long, gray-yellow trails.

They were naturally Chen Nian and her team.

After resting for a night, they decided not to wait for the school's carpooling service and instead drive themselves away.

And so, this scene unfolded.

The group continued along the dirt road in the wilderness.

This is the road we came from; there are many tire tracks, so there's no need to worry about getting lost.

Along the way, they passed a large base that looked no different from the 996 base from the outside. Chen Nian and the others were in a hurry to get back, so they didn't go in to take a look.

And so it went, with stops and starts.

A few days later, they finally returned to the outside of Base 996.

When Chen Nian saw the familiar gray wall surrounding Base 996 in the distance, he unconsciously eased off the accelerator and the car slowed down.

The signal towers standing atop the high walls glowed with red warning lights in the twilight, their lights flickering like some kind of silent welcoming ceremony.

"We're here!" Su Wanqing called out from behind, her tone filled with undisguised excitement.

"Finally, I can see the wall! I feel like I've been riding for half a month!"

"That's an exaggeration, it's only five days at most." Xia Luoling's voice came through the communicator, but her tone was lighter than usual.

Upon arriving at the base's entrance, they did not go inside immediately.

The reason they did this was because Fang Anya had reminded them to wait for the school bus to return before going in together.

Fang Anya naturally had her reasons for this.

Since Fang Anya had said so, the girls didn't have any objections.

Just wait outside.

The school's shared vehicles were quite fast, even faster than the motorcycles. The reason they arrived a little later was because they had to stop at multiple bases.

After waiting for half an hour, they finally appeared outside the 996 base.

Seeing that the vehicle had arrived, everyone put away their motorcycles and walked over.

The bus slowed down and stopped at the entrance. The doors opened, and students, looking tired, got off one after another.

Their faces showed the exhaustion of a long journey and the relief of finally reaching their destination.

Chen Nian recognized several of the faces; they were students she had fought alongside on the front lines. Although they weren't close, they had at least shared the same battlefield.

They naturally recognized Chen Nian's identity.

That invincible strike left a deep impression on them, and since Chen Nian and the others were wearing black military uniforms, no one dared to question their identities. They originally wanted to go up and say a few respectful words.

But seeing her unapproachable expression, he stopped in his tracks.

Most importantly, they saw that Chen Nian had several Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars holding her arms.

He thought to himself that Chen Nian was indeed as rumored, and that he liked girls!

They immediately thought that there would be other opportunities in the future.

After gathering, they went directly into the inner city.

The group passed through the city gate and entered the inner city of Base 996. The scenery on both sides of the road was no different from when they left, and everything exuded a familiar and reassuring atmosphere of daily life.

It immediately eased the tension on the front lines.

"Finally back," Chen Nian said, her tone flat, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Su Wanqing leaned closer, looked around the interior of the base, and remarked, "When I left the temporary base, I thought this place was shabby and small, but now that I'm back, it feels quite welcoming."

"That's because you've been riding your bike for five days straight and you're exhausted, so everything seems familiar to you." Xia Luoling mercilessly exposed her.

"Shut up."

"I think you want to get beaten up. Let me tell you, my sequence transcendence is a major counter to yours."

"Haha, come on over."

The group played around on the roadside for a while before the car from Lily Girls' Academy arrived.

Chen Nian smiled knowingly as she watched their reactions.

Ultimately, they are just eighteen-year-old girls. It's normal for them to act this way at the most beautiful age.

Once on the bus, the street scenes outside the window slowly receded, with familiar shop signs flashing by one after another.

Chen Nian leaned back in her chair, gazing aimlessly out the window, but the scene from her first time on this train a few months ago involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

The last time I rode this bus, I heard other students expressing their fear of going to the front lines.

I never expected to return in triumph. Time really flies!

Once the car quieted down, that feeling of being in another world returned.

When the car stopped in front of the Lily Girls' Academy, school leaders were already waiting at the gate. Upon seeing the arrival of the group, they immediately came forward and shouted to the crowd, "Welcome back, heroes!"

Soon, some of the other female students who were still at school brought flowers up.

They made sure to put in a lot of ritual.

Chen Nian looked around but didn't see the principal. There were only a few grade teachers and the teachers who had led the team to the front line.

The students, who had survived the ordeal, felt a little unfamiliar with these enthusiastic teachers and stood there for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

That makes sense, considering they only spent a month at school before, while the people on this train have been on the front lines for even longer.

However, after being hugged by the teacher, her originally strong heart finally broke down, and tears streamed down her face.

Once one started, the other girls followed suit.

too difficult.

It was really a terrible sight on the front lines.

Only Chen Nian and a few others did not have this reaction.

They stood out somewhat from the crowd.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh awkwardly.

A senior student approached Chen Nian with a bouquet of flowers, placed them in Chen Nian's hands, and then gave her a hug.

The senior's embrace carried a faint scent of jasmine, her movements gentle and restrained, as if afraid of startling something. She whispered in Chen Nian's ear, "We understand the hardships on the front lines. It's good that you're back safe and sound."

Chen Nian paused for a moment, then gently patted her senior's back without saying anything more, only humming in response.

The senior student let go of her, smiled, and then turned to hug the next student.

Chen Nian stood there, holding the bouquet of flowers in her hands. Her gaze swept around, and more and more people were infected by that emotion. Some were sobbing softly, some were hugging each other in silence, and a few teachers were also quietly wiping their eyes.

The air was filled with a complex atmosphere that was a mixture of relief, exhaustion, and lingering fear.

Chen Nian felt that she was a bit out of place with them.

However, when Chen Nian saw Su Wanqing and the others awkwardly laughing, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Forget it, why think so much? From now on, she'll be enjoying her wonderful university life!
