Chapter 165: Chapter 103: The Military’s Resolve!_2

Strange, where does Red Snake’s fear come from?

"Also, Wang Zheng, an instructor will arrive at your location shortly, and will be responsible for your close protection later,"

Lingtong said softly:

"He will take you to temporarily leave Fortress 76. You can discuss the next steps with him; he has authority second only to the Commander in the war zone.

"Uncle Tai and Xiao Qi will stay at the workshop, which is crucial now, but... you, who created the workshop, are even more important.

"Once the battle at Fortress 76 is over and the threat is eliminated, I will immediately bring you back for further research and development work."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments: "Instructor? Is he your master?"

"He is my biological grandfather, but my father only used his reproductive cells to cultivate me in a test tube. They have no emotional connection and he’s not really my grandfather,

Lingtong said calmly:

"He is a Second Generation Half-human Mecha, and out of his more than three hundred and thirty genetic inheritors, ninety percent died at the hands of Blade Beasts, including my father.

"I’m not very close to him either, so you don’t need to show him any respect beyond work-related manners, as he’s not very friendly."

"Understood," Master Wang simply agreed.

Red Snake frowned and muttered, "The Wang Zheng talking to Lingtong and the one who just spoke to us, are they the same person?"

Wan Xiaoqi proudly said, "That’s our commander’s personal charm!"

"Get to work! Install self-destruct mechanisms on all equipment in the workshop!" Uncle Tai shouted loudly.

Wan Xiaoqi made a face and quickly ran to the corner.

Lingtong swept her gaze over the workshop and said solemnly:

"The Commander sees this war against the Spiritual Ability Users as a test for our latest batch of Half-human Mechas.

"The nuclear bomb button under the Commander’s control is merely a deterrence, creating an order framework. Only when that framework is breached will the deterrence convert into an attack.

"Therefore, this battle is crucial! We must crush the invading Spiritual Ability Users comprehensively with the least cost and defend the autonomy of the D5 war zone!"

"Yes!"

...

’This battle, seems like it has nothing to do with me.’

On the dormitory balcony.

Wang Jixuan, now in military uniform, put his hands in his pockets and gazed at the night scene of the fortress’s seventh floor, allowing his thoughts to flow slowly like water.

The military was doing its utmost to protect him;

However, while protecting him, the military was also trying to impose some restrictions on him.

Often in life, you can’t have it both ways.

Daoist Wang understood this principle, so while he accepted the military’s protection, he also accepted the military’s arrangements.

Wu Man, the Mane Bear, was being sent to the frontline headquarters.

Wu Man was a military-protected person, while the Mane Bear remained a detained Level B Spiritual Ability User, a political pawn in the hands of the military.

Daoist Wang would temporarily leave here, waiting for the storm to pass before returning to the seventh floor of the fortress for cultivation.

He really liked it here.

The scenery was beautiful, sunny, and looking at the wind blowing through the wheat fields during breaks from cultivation would naturally ease his mind, free from the oppressive feeling inside the fortress.

Ding Ding!

The Communicator brought a greeting from Zhou Zhengde.

[Xiao Zhou: I heard, a big battle is about to break out in Fortress 76, have you left there?]

[Wang Zheng: Not yet, waiting for arrangements.]

[Xiao Zhou: Don’t be reckless, your combat ability is already at its limit against a Level C Spiritual Ability User! From the information given by Mane Bear, the Judger squad is only stronger than their reconnacian squad. From what the captain of Mane Bear’s squad implied, the danger level of the reports she submitted is below S level. However, we are prepared to annihilate a Level S if one appears.]

[Xiao Zhou: This time, whoever they send will die, regardless of how big a fuss is made or how much combat power is lost.]

[Wang Zheng: Take good care of Wu Man.]

[Xiao Zhou: Don’t worry, I will arrange for him to be in the cell next to mine. Any other instructions?]

[Wang Zheng: Have a normal male look after him, try to avoid females or perverts, this child has also had a hard time.]

[Xiao Zhou: Understood. Then, I will arrange for Zheng Shiduo to be stationed in the workshop, Uncle Tai has already reported, saying you have provided the direction for tonight’s experiment... We will quickly deal with these nuisances, to have you back at Fortress 76 soon.]

[Xiao Zhou: My grandfather has dealt with Spiritual Ability Users all his life, he knows them through and through. Only by making them hurt and cry will they be willing to sit down and negotiate. If we lose this war, we will be at a disadvantage everywhere.]

[Xiao Zhou: What can’t be taken on the battlefield, can never be taken at the negotiation table.]

[Wang Zheng: You guys push on, I’ll just quietly focus on research and development for now, acting as a technical talent.]

[Xiao Zhou: It’s great that you can cooperate. I heard from my grandfather that he sent his most powerful subordinate to your side, specifically to protect you.]

Wang Jixuan leaned back slightly, his expression somewhat odd.

He had already received much information from that old man.

Second Generation Half-human Mecha, possessing almost the same authority as the Commander in D5 war zone, biological grandfather of Lingtong but somewhat estranged, D5 war zone’s second top master.

Goodness...

[Xiao Zhou: One more thing, Wu Man was not a normal Spiritual Ability User, so his brain doesn’t have a self-destruct chip. But Mane Bear’s brain does have a self-destruct chip, according to Mane Bear’s description, the control of his self-destruct chip is only in his captain’s hands. What do you think should be done with Mane Bear, should he be let go or eliminated?]

[Wang Zheng: Let him go, he might prove unexpectedly useful in the future.]

[Xiao Zhou: How do you manage it? He seems like a changed person.]

[Wang Zheng: Alien technology, it’s confidential for now. By the way, help me get more mechanic courses, preferably in an e-book format.]

Thud, thud, thud.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense had already locked onto the visitor, it was Zheng Shiduo, now dressed in a military uniform.

[Wang Zheng: Let’s catch up later, I need to move.]

He folded up the Communicator, Daoist Wang packed a bulging large travel bag, turned off the dormitory lights, and departed with Zheng Shiduo.

There was a vehicle waiting outside.

As he got into the vehicle, Gao Huating, riding a bicycle and carrying two bags of groceries, happened to return. She looked at the scene with some surprise.

’Is the neighbor guy really a soldier?’

Gao Huating glanced twice then quickly slipped into the building, hurrying back to her dormitory with brisk steps.

Five minutes later.

The sealed military vehicle passed through six or seven interlinked checkpoints, did not take the elevator but used the military cargo lift instead, directly ascended to the third floor.

Zheng Shiduo said with a smile, "Boss, you don’t need to worry, the reason for your relocation is that there’s a very slight, extremely faint chance of an S-level Spiritual Ability User launching a surprise attack on Fortress 76, the Commander doesn’t want to risk it."

’Ah, thanks to the Commander.’

’Sigh,’ Zheng Shiduo said softly, ’Lingtong wanted to come and see you off, but her mechanical arm hasn’t been adjusted yet.’

Daoist Wang asked, ’Will I be going to another fortress for a long time?’

’It depends on how the battles here go, the pattern will generally be fighting here and negotiating there... We’ve reached the supply station, we need to avoid everyone as much as possible.’

Zheng Shiduo looked around and drove the military vehicle off the lift.

Wang Jixuan pulled down his hat brim, and once the military vehicle stopped, he followed Zheng Shiduo into the previously cleared supply station.

As they turned the corridor, Zheng Shiduo suddenly exclaimed ’wow’, and volunteered, ’I’ll wait for you up ahead.’

Wang Jixuan naturally knew who was coming ahead.

Lingtong stood quietly at the corner of the corridor, wearing an unpainted mechanical arm, hands clasped behind her back, back leaning against the wall, tilting her head as she looked at Wang Jixuan.
