Chapter 39: Honest and Trustworthy Master Wang
Chapter 39: Honest and Trustworthy Master Wang
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Ten seconds later, the old man opposite asked in a gentle tone: "Zhengde, good boy, don't be afraid. Which fortress are you in?"
"Fort 76 in the Middle Basin."
"Who is the Archon of 76? The Guard! Call him now, immediately, and ask him if he can do it. If not, get out!"
"Grandpa."
Zhou Zhengde looked at the confused Minister of Biology and said in a tearful voice:
"How about you help me ask for favors from the Thirteenth Institute? I don't dare to investigate them anymore. Their experiments on living people are for the future victory of mankind. I, I understand that the safety of mom and you is the most important."
"Zhengde, are you okay? Stay strong! You are a man!"
The old man over there cursed:
"Fuck him! I'm on the front line killing blade beasts, and you're behind me screwing my only grandson!
"Bring that bastard Zhuang Mingqi here! Beat him up first and then bring him here! Damn it! Kick his balls and give him an alloy one! He's the only one who's not active among the Dry Blade Beasts, but he's an expert at infighting! I'm going to kill him today!
"Zhengde! Tell me my name! I told you to tell me!"
beep!
The call was rudely hung up by the other end.
Zhou Zhengde put on the communicator, wiped the tears that were about to flow, and looked up at the Minister of Biology of Fortress No. 76.
He grinned.
Zhuang Mingqi, director of the Thirteenth Branch of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone, one of the true top managers of the Thirteenth Branch, and Kong Nu's immediate superior.
"you……"
Kong Nu, the biological minister of Fortress No. 76, frowned and asked:
"Who were you calling just now?"
"He's a grumpy but amiable old man. Go back and wait for notification. Your boss should contact you soon."
Zhou Zhengde shrugged and winked at the Minister of Biology:
“My family’s custom is to follow the mother’s surname. I have my mother’s surname and my mother has my grandmother’s surname. This is actually to hide my mother’s and my identity and avoid the revenge of the Mimic Blade Beast.
"Why was my mother, a professional accountant, chosen by everyone to be the Minister of the Interior of a large industrial fortress?
“Because my grandfather is the commander-in-chief of the D5 theater joint defense force.
"Yes, that old general who is known as the last hero of the Fortress Era, the first person to undergo prosthetic transformation, and the first generation pilot of the terrifying mecha.
"I really can't do anything to you, the Thirteenth Institute. You are a cross-regional organization that controls the technical patents of psychics and most of the medical resources. You are fighting openly and secretly with the United Defense Force and restraining each other.
“But at least, the thirteen units at the fortress level really can’t threaten me.
"Kong Nu, senior researcher."
Zhou Zhengde slowly stood up, holding the edge of the table with both hands, leaning forward slightly, his eyes flashing with sharpness.
"You'd better get the list and the accounts before me. If I get the list, you will have no choice but to commit suicide.
"Or, commit suicide."
Kong Nu's face turned pale and he kicked the door and left.
When the two psychics left, the man put away his dagger and saluted with a smile, while the woman lifted her skirt and performed the etiquette of a lady.
Psychics learn quickly.
Mastering human etiquette in the blink of an eye.
Inside the new dormitory.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand to support his forehead.
Lin Bo turned off the monitor, took out the vibrating communication box, looked up and said:
"Team leader, the captain asked you to rest assured and we will talk again at the party tonight."
"Well, hard work."
Wang Jixuan groaned for a few seconds:
"What exactly is the position of the theater commander-in-chief?"
"He is the highest military commander in the war zone!"
Lin Bo whispered:
“The Zhonggu Basin where we are located is a small war zone, also called a terrain war zone. Several adjacent terrain war zones form a large war zone.
"Our commander-in-chief has won many battles against the Saber Beasts. Even the United Council of Archons of the D5 Integrated War Zone dares not to dictate to the commander-in-chief.
"Our integrated war zone is also the most active and longest-lasting war zone in the world."
Wang Jixuan asked: "General...then, what does the thirteen cross-regional institutions refer to?"
"The 13th Institute of Biology is already a worldwide organization. They are also a shelter for many privileged classes in human society during the Golden Age."
Lin Bo sighed:
"The experiments of psykers are said to be dirty, but they are also necessary forces to launch the decapitation operation against the blade beasts.
"It's just that in recent years, more and more psychics have refused to go to the battlefield. They think they are a new kind of human, a great existence that surpasses the old kind of human. Well, they are just a bunch of narcissistic idiots.
"I heard that there are psychics who try to communicate with the blade beasts and advocate for peaceful coexistence with them."
Wang Jixuan asked, "Can you help me? I'm not familiar with the place."
"of course can!"
"I want to grow some vegetables. Can you help me get some of the Wanlijin Gang's formula soil and seeds?"
"piece of cake!"
Lin Bo patted his chest:
“I’ll arrange for someone to do it right away!
“Before, I always ran down to the city. In order to secretly protect the team leader, the captain also greeted the leader of Wanlijin. It just so happened that I went there!
"But I have to report this to the captain."
"Thank you, report whatever you want."
"Yes!"
Lin Bo gave a standard military salute, opened the door and left quickly.
Wang Jixuan stood there thinking for a long time.
He had a few questions he couldn't figure out.
"Ah, there's a party tonight. The parties here should be different from the brothels in the perverted area, right?"
Taoist Wang was more or less a little frightened.
……
Late night at the fort.
Bang!
Kong clenched his fist and smashed it on the desk in front of him. His face turned ashen, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes flashed with a cold light like a venomous snake.
"Contact the office of Fort 82 next door immediately!"
……
Wang Jixuan thought that the party at night would be like the one in downtown, full of bright lights, feasting, excitement, and a shock to his heart, but in reality...
Everything is so warm.
The spacious, brightly lit room was simply decorated with ribbons and colored lights.
The young men and women attending the party arranged the food and non-alcoholic drinks they bought with their respective quotas into a small mountain.
The music player was playing soothing music, and there were a mixture of meat and vegetables on the grill...
Everything is common welfare that the people of Midtown can enjoy.
Young men and women observed each other and danced ballroom dance to the music; occasionally a guy from the security team would get in the mood and perform a tap dance popular in the army for everyone.
In Wei Na's words, in this seemingly calm environment, a hormonal turmoil is brewing.
In the eyes of Taoist Wang, everything before him seemed both warm and rare.
Finally, there was some entertainment atmosphere that he could accept. Really, his poor vocabulary was almost not enough in the downtown.
Zhou Zhengde danced with several ladies, then walked to the corner where Wang Jixuan was, and said with a smile:
"Why don't you go over and talk to them? Those young girls are secretly looking at you. Wei Na specially invited them for you. They are all conservative and have good temperament and cultivation."
"Thinking about going down town."
Wang Jixuan sighed softly:
"I heard news about Ye Zi again from the Minister of Biology."
"Yes, I checked it out. Ye Zi entered the Psychic's House... What makes me feel strange is that her story actually partially matches the story I made up."
Zhou Zhengde whispered:
"Thomas killed Kong Lianmei, and this became the consensus of the three factions.
“It saves us a lot of trouble…
"It's strange that Ye Zi is covering this up for you. Why is she doing this?"
Wang Jixuan shook his head: "Who knows, she killed those dozen children."
Zhou Zhengde asked: "Do we need to continue tracking down Ye Zi?"
"If it won't take up too many of your resources, please continue to track her down," Wang Jixuan said, "I have to deal with her myself to get through this difficult time."
Kaner refers to the tribulation of the heart.
"Well, I have several times more eyes and ears in the upper city than in the lower city, so this isn't a big problem."
Zhou Zhengde glanced around, leaned closer to Wang Jixuan, and whispered:
"Didn't we agree before that we would tell each other secrets? You have to let me know what's going on.
"Mu Liang, can you explain the source of your power?"
Wang Jixuan recalled the comic books he had seen in the landlord's wife's study, and spoke nonsense in a serious tone:
"I suspect it's a mutation caused by cosmic ray exposure."
"what??"
Zhou Zhengde was a little confused.
Wang Jixuan continued to deceive: "You remember that I once committed self-harm, right?"
"Yes," Zhou Zhengde responded with full concentration.
Wang Jixuan continued:
"While I was suffocating, I saw a blurry figure. He circled among the stars, chanting the Blessings of the Infinite Heaven. Then he told me that this world was in misery, and I would gain a power to save the lives in misery and bring them peace. However, this power was too great, and I needed to accept it step by step, by sharpening my spirit and body, hunting blade beasts, and most importantly, sharpening myself here."
"soul!"
Zhou Zhengde clenched his fists, lowered his voice, and said excitedly:
"This is most likely a response from an advanced alien civilization! We had a cosmic help-seeking plan before, more than 80 years ago! It might have worked! This is a huge discovery! So cool!"
"Well, just believe it."
Wang Jixuan picked up the goblet beside him and took a sip of industrially synthesized grape juice.
He said, "If I find anything later, I will continue to tell you. I originally regarded getting rid of the Black Fire Gang as a spiritual training, but I didn't expect that Ye Zi would give me a hard blow in the end."
"How about you stop being so sad and try to date these girls?"
What Zhou Zhengde remembered:
"I also have some new information. The D5 Integrated Theater Command has issued an order to the Zhonggu Basin Theater. The Zhonggu Basin Theater Command Center has issued clear instructions to our governors and joint defense forces.
“Soon a few powerful figures will come to us, truly strong men who have come down from the battlefield, and they will probably ask us to cooperate with their investigation.
"Mu Liang, can you?"
"Do you need to accept their interrogation?" Wang Jixuan asked worriedly.
"No, they didn't have the guts to interrogate us."
Zhou Zhengde whispered:
"The core point is still the list. They may go into downtown to investigate. I think this is an opportunity."
"what chance?"
"Knock down the Black Fire Gang's illegal facilities and kill the Thirteen Kong Nu."
Zhou Zhengde muttered:
“There was a little problem with the bill I submitted, and the governor’s secretary said they needed to review it.
“I also threatened Kong Nu today.
"Now because of Ban Wenying's problem, my mother can no longer help us, otherwise I wouldn't have asked my grandfather for help directly.
"We've completely fallen out. It's either him or me. I want to go down with this investigation team. You can come with me in your current identity. We can take advantage of the cleanup troops in the lower city to change part of the ecology of the lower city... This is better than sitting in the office and doing nothing.
“If I can find that list, account, or anything else that can provoke Kong Nubing to take a risk, I can directly use this elite team to fight back against him!
“Kong Nu threatened my mother.
"I will get rid of him, even if I have to use any means to do so. I cannot let him enter the Psychic City, the headquarters of the Thirteenth Institute."
Zhou Zhengde let out a light breath, then looked at Wang Jixuan with some trepidation.
Wang Jixuan smiled knowingly and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being attacked again?"
"afraid."
Zhou Zhengde said calmly:
“Actually, there’s one more thing.
"I disagreed with my mother, but I couldn't come up with a better solution to the problems in Lower Fort.
"I want to go to downtown and find this plan. This is more important than those lists, accounts, and other political struggle props."
Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers: "Call me anytime to join the action. What I did before was too rough, and there are many things to be finished. That guy wants to slice me up, and I will find a way to kill him even without you."
"It's too rude to say kill him... Exorcist?"
"Exorcist and defender of the Way."
The two smiled at each other.
Ding ding ding.
There was the sound of glass bottles colliding.
Wei Na, sneaky and heavily made-up, walked over quickly with two older sisters in windbreakers and high heels, and opened her windbreaker mysteriously.
Three beautiful bodies wearing cheongsams and more than ten bottles of various types of alcohol appeared in front of Zhou Zhengde and Wang Jixuan.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Wei Na shouted excitedly, "Tonight, I won't go home until I'm drunk."
Zhou Zhengde frowned and said, "You let the sheriff on the thirteenth floor drink?"
"Is the wine I got myself not enough? You'd better not spoil the fun! Releasing stress is the best way to fight fortress disease!"
Wei Na rolled her eyes and then turned to look at the dance floor.
There were cheers from the dance floor.
Zhou Zhengde raised his hand to support his forehead, grabbed Wang Jixuan's arm, and said with a trembling voice:
"If I'm drunk, you must carry me away. It's okay even if I faint! Please, Mu Liang! Promise me now!"
Wang Jixuan didn't understand.
Fellow Daoist Zhou...what are you afraid of?
