Chapter 338 S-Class Sentinel
Yi Shenshou helped Yan Shupei to the car and whispered, "I'm sorry, teacher. The Academy was so chaotic yesterday. I shouldn't have left."
Yan Shupei waved his hands weakly: "Shen Shou, it's right for you to leave. You are still a student. The teachers will handle the affairs of the Academy of Sciences. Don't take on responsibilities that don't belong to you."
"Besides, you are not the kind of person who acts impulsively. I think you have your reasons."
Yi Shenshou lowered his eyelashes: "Teacher, I have undergone a second evolution."
Yan Shupei was shocked, and he held Yi Shenshou's shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked anxiously, "What happened? You were covered in blood yesterday. Is this related to this?"
Yi Shenshou briefly told Yan Shupei what happened yesterday after they parted, how he was knocked unconscious by Sang Mingying, taken to the underground laboratory safe, and contaminated by the meteorite culture fluid, causing a secondary evolution.
However, he quietly concealed the fact that he was tortured by Sang and Pang, lost his sanity, and was rescued by Ai Wanxin.
Yan Shupei closed his eyes in pain: "Shen Shou, is the teacher really bad at teaching students? Why did both students go astray?"
Yi Shenshou said gently: "Teacher, you just taught me not to take on responsibilities that do not belong to me. Everyone must be responsible for the path they choose, instead of blaming others."
Yan Shupei didn't know whether he had listened or not, but on the entire journey from the headquarters building of the Guards to the Academy of Sciences, he did not ask about the whereabouts of the meteorite, and Yi Shenshou did not bring it up on his own initiative, as if the meteorite and the evil monster were destroyed in the flames together.
Han Ce stood behind the one-way glass door of the hall, watching the car carrying Yan Shupei and Yi Shenshou go away.
Just now, he asked Yan Shupei over and over again about what happened last night, but basically got nothing out of him. Few people can keep a clear head under the high-intensity interrogation of the Guards. In other words, Yan Shupei did not know Ai Wanxin's true identity and purpose.
Han Ce sneered and said, "You are so blind and deaf. What kind of acting dean is this?"
At this moment, he had completely forgotten that Ai Wanxin and his group had sneaked into the city without their guards noticing anything.
Han Ce returned to his office on the second floor of the General Administration Building. Before he opened the door, he heard an unpleasant breathing sound in the room.
Han Ce rolled his eyes and pushed open the door. His immediate superior, Dai Qun, was sitting in his office chair with a sullen look on his face, staring at the light screen projected in the air.
What was playing on the light screen was the video of him personally taking Yan Shupei's statement.
The Glorious City Guard has a special department called the Special Intelligence Department, which is mainly responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence. Dai Qun was the original director of the Special Intelligence Department.
After the end of the world, the top leaders of the Guard were unfortunately wiped out, leaving only him, a colonel from the Special Affairs Department, alive to temporarily lead the Guard.
Han Ce disliked him very much. He felt that people who worked in intelligence had an indescribable sinister and vicious aura.
"Lieutenant Colonel." Dai Qun paused the video on the screen, raised his eyes and asked coldly, "A night has passed, and I haven't seen any reports of the riot at the Academy of Sciences or the destruction of a drone patrol team."
Han Ce pulled out a chair on the side of the solid wood desk, sat up with his arms and legs stretched out, and said with an unruly smile: "Colonel, when we came back from patrol last night, it was already daybreak, and then we interrogated Yan Shupei non-stop, without eating a single bite of food or drinking a glass of water. We just sent him away, and you asked me for a report. You don't think that an S-level sentry has the ability to clone himself and do so much work at once, do you?"
Dai Qun didn't bother to be polite with him. He sneered and said, "Perhaps the ability of S-level sentinels is inferior. Unlike SP-level sentinels, they not only have dual abilities, but can also travel thousands of miles a day. They just escorted important supplies back from Fengcheng thousands of miles away, and they have to set off for Zhangcheng for a mission again."
Han Ce's face fell. Of course he knew who Dai Qun was talking about.
He and He Yang have been compared since they were young. It would have been fine if his advancement speed was not as fast as He Yang's before the end of the world, but that guy inexplicably possessed the superpower of flying. Is it so outrageous?
After the end of the world, he finally evolved into one of the very few S-level sentinels and made a big splash in the battle to defend the Glorious City. However, that guy was not inferior to him and managed to defend Maple City.
What’s even more infuriating is that after the mental power measuring device was sent to Fengcheng, it actually reported back that He Yang’s mental power exceeded S level and reached SP level.
God knows he even bit the bowl into pieces while eating that day!
Dai Qun didn't care how ugly Han Ce's face was, and continued to stab him in the heart: "There are only a few SP sentinels in the whole Yan Kingdom. He Yang was the youngest lieutenant colonel in the entire army before the end of the world. In fact, he has made great contributions in defending Fengcheng. Logically, he should be promoted to the next level like you. It was his father who suppressed this matter in order to let him keep a low profile."
"Later, He Yang went to Frost City. Although the mission content of Frost City is still confidential and has not been disclosed to the public, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the zombie crisis in Frost City has been resolved. In addition, the base has been built very well and has begun to accept survivors from surrounding towns. It will surely become a large base in time."
"Now, the base executive officer in Zhangcheng has asked He Shifeng and the Security Bureau for help again. There was no big fanfare at this time, and few people knew about it. He Shifeng should have directly assigned the task to his son. If He Yang makes another contribution in Zhangcheng, then his father will have no reason or necessity to continue to suppress his merits."
"Captain Han, we are colleagues. Although you always have many prejudices against me, I have to remind you that Glory City is the safest place in the entire Yan Country. If you just stay in Glory City to gain experience, then the gap between you and He Yang in rank is the smallest now."
Han Ce lowered his razor-like eyebrows, which revealed his undisguised ruthlessness. He said in a bad tone, "Colonel, you don't think that if you say something about comradeship, I will believe that you are telling me so much just for my sake, okay?"
Dai Qun stood up, straightened the hem of his uniform, and switched the screen in midair to a partial map of the Evernight Basin. He looked at the Zhangcheng base highlighted by the aperture and said, "We haven't found out why the executive officer of the Zhangcheng base asked He Shifeng for help. Captain Han, forgive me for being blunt, unless you have a father like He Shifeng, the credit will only be delivered to you. For everyone else, if you want to climb up in this apocalypse, you have to grab opportunities by force."
"I wonder if Team Han is interested in going to the Zhangcheng base?"
