The plan that Nio made was actually used in the implementation of the operation to capture the Mojogedang sub-district. He himself had also not expected about this before, and stared at the 1st team that set out today out of the underground city by boarding the 2 units of the transport truck with a look of admiration.

The warrior who set out today was feisty-faced for obtaining an armament that was much stronger than before. It certainly makes the soldiers feel confident, not to forget they are also very confident about the strategy made Nio will be very working in the upcoming battle.

All members of the unit in the underground city also released the departure of team 1 with hope. Although it was not the last battle, but the atmosphere was indeed like that.

No exception for Surya. He told himself to be ashamed of Nio. He felt that too much silence and did not do many things that were profitable for the troops.

Surya felt disappointed when he did not choose to join the Special Student Forces. But it was too late for Surya, he had to wait until next year if he wanted to take PPK training.

There are other things that make Surya want to take advantage of his trust in Nio.

In his heart he said with a smile of his own, “It looks like Nike is indeed not wrong to choose the guy he likes.”

**

Team 1 was commanded by Surya with the deputy commander Sima, the number of troops was 4 squads. While Team 2 who will leave tomorrow will be commanded by Herlina with the deputy commander of Nio.

The deputy commander would usually be appointed directly by the appointed commander, and that was the case with Nio. Herlina was more trusting of Nio than any other soldier in Company 406. The basic requirement for a soldier who gets this position is that the appropriate rank and experience are required.

Team 1 took off with 2 transport trucks, 2 tactical vehicles and 1 armored personnel transport vehicle. Both vehicles are armed with the latest light and heavy machine guns.

Regarding weaponry, the type of combat vehicle is not much renewal. Except in terms of the quality of protection of personnel, currently it is wearing protective armor that is stronger than steel.

In other types of combat vehicles, such as combat helicopters and types of tank vehicles are widely developed.

The soldiers belonging to team 2 who were still in the underground city were still doing all the necessary preparations.

While Nio was seen still going in an uncertain direction, he did not return to the dormitory to make preparations. He looks like he has a problem that has no answer, or looks like he is thinking about something.

He continued walking, not even realizing that some of the soldiers were giving him respect and calling out to him.

“Why Peltu Nio?”

“Now, it looks like he is thinking seriously.”

“Not that it was good, he thought of the strategy until it was very mature. Even thinking about it while walking.”

Nio did not listen to the words of his subordinates, until he did not realize that he was in front of the Warrior Health Unit.

Dina who saw Nio immediately called out to him and instantly made Nio aware of some thoughts that made him confused.

“What's up?” nio asked as he approached the soldier's health facility.

“There's something I want to talk about,” replied Dina while telling Nio to be with her.

This building is indeed fit for dozens of people with 5 outpatient rooms. All medical personnel here also have a nurse certificate or SMK student majoring in nursing and such. Medical soldiers are required to have at least treated heavy injuries and perform minor operations, such as lifting bullets that hit the soldier's body.

Because all the young women who were rescued during the mission a few days ago, it makes the medical personnel in the underground city no longer unemployed.

There are many people who need treatment, both physical and mental. But to treat mental, medical personnel only have basic science.

That's why healing mental wounds for survivors of rescued abuse will take an unknown amount of time.

Even if the person has recovered from his trauma, he may recall it and return to mental distress.

Victims of abuse were treated in separate rooms and separated from other young women.

Nio and Dina arrive in a room where several young women are rescued. They are not victims of abuse, but the trauma they experience is also the same as victims of abuse.

The abuse that young women experience is no different from gang rape.

It was seen that 6 young women were sitting on the edge of the bed and chatting with each other as usual. They were talking casually, like they were chatting with a close friend. But they may not know each other, but still need someone to talk to.

“They are fine,” said Nio with a calm face.

“Yes, from the outside they are fine. But are you thinking about what they went through before you saved?” reply Dina which made Nio speechless for a moment.

“Because they will be made sex slaves of the enemy?”

“Yes, that's right. But it's not just that that traumatized them and mentally disturbed.”

“I just know if what they're up against will be traumatizing. But other than that I don't know anything.”

Nio looked at Dina like there was a question that was not mentioned and he had to answer.

“Revenge,” said Dina who made Nio stop to think.

“What did they come to think of it?” asked Nio with a face that looked surprised.

“Yes, they will definitely not be willing if there are still enemies left. They will think there will be other victims who will have the same fate as them if the enemy continues to exist.”

Nio was silent for a moment to find the meaning of Dina's words. He thought as he looked at the young women who were laughing from behind the glass door.

“What is the best road revenge?” ask Nio.

With a smile Dina replied, “Revenge is the instinctive nature of man.”

“But, for some people revenge is not the best way.”

“Maybe there is a point too. But some people can survive after fulfilling their revenge desire.”

Nio was instantly pensive after getting an answer from Dina. He did not expect that revenge had a deep enough meaning.

Dina then continued the conversation with Nio.

On a bench placed in the hallway of the treatment room, the two of them only chatted about the mass operations carried out by the TNI to retake the enemy-held territory since the start of the war.

Today it is indeed the schedule of young women to carry out routine care since they were taken to the underground city.

The female medical soldier saluted Nio, and Nio replied to her. Then, he again led the young female line into the room for routine maintenance.

“Nio, you're Nio right..!?” ask one of the young women with great enthusiasm.

Nio instantly recognized the young woman.

“Indigenous?” nio replied with an expression of disbelief.

Finished doing routine maintenance, Nio and Indah sat on a bench placed in the hallway of the treatment room.

“I didn't expect you to join the TNI. So you saved us?” beautiful with a happy face.

“Not me, but my comrades saved you. I just rule,” replied Nio.

“Government? Are you now an officer?”

While laughing a little Nio answered the question Beautiful, “Not, I am still Bintara Tinggi. But I will strive to be a First Officer first.”

Beautiful Eyes seemed to show a look of admiration, but a moment later she looked down like she felt something.

Nio also looked like that, like feeling something when he had met Beautiful again.

Lovely was a friend at Nio High School. That means Jo and Rio also recognized Beautiful.

But they are joined into team 1 and have departed first, so they can not meet their friends on this one.

Beautiful looking Nio full of changes, ranging from appearance to ‘auranya’. In essence, Indah feels that Nio is now very changed compared to when the school used to be.

A little while later, Herlina came with Arunika.

“Your boyfriend...?” asked Herlina with a slightly annoyed look.

“Beautiful, are you Beautiful right?” arunika said with a feeling of pleasure.

“Iya, Ms. Arunika,” replied Beautifully.

Indah was one of the proud students of Arunika because of her intelligence in mathematics. Very inversely proportional to Nio who does not want to learn the subjects of that one.

“Hey, my question was when will you answer?” asked Herlina which made Nio even more depressed.

By holding back his nervousness Nio replied, “Bu-not..”.

Arunika only let her sister continue to be depressed by Herlina.

Herlina again asked as she folded her hands in front of her chest, “Then.?”.

Nio gathered up the courage to answer him, he occasionally glanced at Indah who also looked unsettled. Nio and Beautiful like having a secret that even Arunika herself does not know.

“Mantan-..,” Nio's speech stops when Herlina is very close in front of him.

“Hah..!” yelled Arunika and Herlina together which shocked everyone in this place.

“Wait a minute, I haven't finished what I know! Beautiful is my ex.” replied Nio by expending all the courage collected.

At school, Nio really liked Beautiful. In addition to looking beautiful, Nio is also often asked to teach beautiful lessons outside of mathematics.

Beautiful indeed not too mastered some subjects, history for example. Nio often taught Indah about the lesson she was so good at.

Actually Nio had harbored that feeling since the 11th grade of High School, but there were many things happening that made him unable to express his feelings. Like the incident that made Nio have a severe scar on his face. The scar is still there today.

Nio himself rarely communicates with Beautiful because he does not have a smartphone. He only got the device when he entered Class 12 High School.

But Nio was a little late, even though he was only intermittent a few days after Indah had a lover.

Nio saw Indah was very happy when he came home together with a male student next door.

Nio himself also did not know if Indah had the same feelings as him.

Then after school, Indah intercepted Nio on the road that he often went through to leave and go home from school.

“What's the matter, instead of historical pr have I told you the page that has the answer?” asked Nio who tried nothing happened today.

“Why are you so late? Why are you so cowardly?”

“So our feelings are the same huh? Well then, what you said was not wrong.”

“Hah!? Aren't you going to do something?”

“For what? Not that you're happy now. If you feel that way, I already feel like I have you.”

**

Back to previous events….

As a result of Nio's words, the atmosphere now became very awkward. There were only two people who still looked surprised, namely Herlina and Arunika.

Nio and Indah had now turned their backs on each other and did not dare to look at each other again.

“Thank God that he is just a former bully..,” said Herlina with a face that really shows a feeling of relief.

Nio just looked at Herlina with a surprised and confused face, as well as Beautiful.

Arunika who was also surprised said, “Don't-don't you too-..”.
