Chapter 184: Chapter 111: The Investigation Team Returns Again

"War?" Wang Jixuan thought he had heard wrong.

"Yes, war."

Instructor Hei said with a raspy voice:

"Humanity can’t afford internal strife—this has become a restrictive principle that constrains every major battle zone, allowing Spiritual Ability Users to devour fortresses unchecked."

"After over fifty years of development, Spiritual Ability Users have been secretly controlling one fortress after another, causing local Defense Armies to be perpetually on the defensive, and the influence of the Thirteenth Institute is growing ever larger."

"This contradiction has actually reached a moment where we must break the cauldrons and sink the boats."

"The Commander’s life has already exceeded by two or three decades, and his endpoint is near."

"Even if we don’t want to break this bondage, we must make a choice."

"Humanity must embrace a new era, whether it is good or bad."

"In the past, every time we wanted to break the cauldrons and sink the boats to deal with the troubles of Spiritual Ability City, the Blade Beast Group would always stir... Under the high pressure of the Blade Beast Group, we found it difficult to confront Spiritual Ability City with full strength, and then many thought of enduring them, for the greater good, for the continuation of humanity, resulting in the Dominion Faction Spiritual Ability Users getting an inch and taking a mile."

"This time is a great opportunity, because of two factors."

"First, because Spiritual Ability City has been continuously collecting materials, the resentment index of the major battle zones towards Spiritual Ability City has reached a critical point."

"Second, there’s a strange fellow who has brought out Crystal Core Weapons capable of overturning current Spiritual Technology, breaking the Thirteenth Institute’s monopoly on Spiritual Energy."

Wang Jixuan revealed a bit of a forced smile.

Instructor Hei continued speaking, his expression carrying a bit of helplessness:

"It’s miraculous, even ordinary humans can now utilize the Spiritual Energy in the air, no longer needing to endure those damned Spiritual Ability Users."

"So even I, this longtime companion of the Commander, have been assigned to closely protect this strange guy."

Wang Jixuan seemed somewhat hesitant to speak.

Instructor Hei continued to sigh:

"Let Zhengde handle what comes next."

"I’ll write a report recommending him immediately."

"Zheng De will soon be standing on the stage addressing commanders from the various battle zones, detailing the current situations of Fortress 76 and Fortress 82, then there will be a supreme judge from the military court publicly sentencing those Spiritual Ability Users."

"Once this step is taken, we will be able to completely seize the initiative."

"Thank you, Wang Zheng, for giving us the confidence to maintain the current front without being overwhelmed by the Blade Beasts after turning over the tables."

"Instructor Hei, the people who underwent the surgery with local anesthesia have been brought over," Wang Jixuan changed the subject calmly.

He disliked being morally blackmailed; he also sensed that Instructor Hei, while speaking sincerely, was seizing the opportunity to ’bind’ him with righteousness.

Cultivators may enter the world to save the common folk, but ultimately they must return to the mountains to follow the Immortal Road.

Wang Jixuan said, "I’ll go help you inspect their surgery skills."

Instructor Hei teased, "You really are slippery! Shouldn’t you be making some concrete promises at this time?"

"I deserve credit, why should I make promises? It should be you preparing rewards for me."

Wang Jixuan ended the conversation, looking up at a young soldier approaching.

This was a logistics soldier, carefully asking while holding a tray:

"Commander! Which number... motor oil would you like to drink?"

Wang Jixuan’s forehead was covered with black lines.

Inside the supply truck next to the fortress, Instructor Hei couldn’t help but frown thoughtfully, appreciation apparent in his eyes.

’Such a clever fellow, not the kind of passionate young man you can fool with a few words.’

’Rewards, how do we reward him? He should be after tangible benefits... what more can we give him as a reward, didn’t we already get him several thousand crystal cores...’

The old Instructor obviously faced a new problem.

...

The surgeries on these officers had been very successful.

Hiding within his Full Armor, Wang Jixuan frowned and took several photos for Instructor Hei, then had these guys carried away with a look of disdain.

The follow-up went quite smoothly.

The Governor of Fortress 82 hadn’t been harmed; those Spiritual Ability Users, to save their lives, didn’t hesitate much in choosing to surrender.

Even if they faced the risk of having their brains directly exploded by Spiritual Ability City, it was still better than being killed immediately.

Better to live wretchedly than to die gloriously.

They were only cannon fodder within Spiritual Ability City, only qualified to be security guards at some facility, and were not willing to ’keep their integrity’ for Spiritual Ability City.

While waiting for the emergency management team dispatched by the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone to arrive, Wang Jixuan chatted with the old Governor who had specifically come to the third level.

The old Governor had already decided to resign due to taking the blame.

Although the Governor had been controlled by Spiritual Ability Users because his family’s information was exposed and he lost his military protection barrier after the general commander of the 82 garrison was controlled by Hamanaka Natsuki;

the old Governor’s dereliction of duty was indeed present; there was no reason for acquittal.

Once the emergency team arrived and started to reorganize the garrison of Fortress 82, Wang Jixuan quietly slipped away, still leaving through the ventilation ducts of Fortress 82, turning on optical invisibility, and wandered back to the desert supply truck nearby.

A new supply truck had arrived there.

Instructor Hei had already set up a supply station covered up by sand — essentially an ’shipping container’ made of alloy sheets, linked on both sides to the supply trucks.

With both supply trucks entering semi-submerged sand mode, opening the doors revealed two simple rooms; inside the supply station, various living facilities such as a refrigerator, projector screen, inflatable sofa, and small coffee table were all complete.

It was clear that Instructor Hei understood how to live.

When Wang Jixuan returned, Instructor Hei was disassembling the armor on his thigh, with two maintenance robots working at his side.
