"Don't wind him up," Li Chang'an said with a smile. "If he's late again, he'll have to face the consequences!"
"Aw, Captain, you're so heartless!" Sun Yang said, feigning a pitiful expression.
Just as they were joking around, a communicator suddenly rang. Li Chang'an picked it up and saw it was a message from Commander Liu Na.
"Li Chang'an, get your squad ready. The command center has an urgent mission. Assemble immediately!"
Li Chang'an's expression darkened. He immediately stood up. "We've got a mission. Everyone, get ready and assemble now!"
Han Ruoxi and Shen Qiuyue immediately dropped their playful expressions, stood up, and began to organize their gear.
"Captain, what's going on?" Sun Yang hurried to catch up, clearly not having fully processed the situation.
"An urgent mission!" Li Chang'an said grimly. "We'll get the details when we reach the command center!"
