Chapter 185: Chapter 111: The Investigation Team Returns Again_2

Instructor Hei: "Yo, back so soon? I thought you’d be off celebrating with a party."

"What’s there to celebrate? Just dealt with some rookies, that’s all."

Wang Jixuan pressed several buttons, and the sections of his form-fitting X armor sprang outward by a centimeter, releasing a shallow mist, allowing him to easily take it off.

While the armor was generally comfortable to wear, Wang Jixuan truly felt relaxed after taking it off.

He stretched lazily and placed the various components of the armor back into its metal box, starting his routine maintenance.

Since he didn’t have a dedicated logistics team, the back-end maintenance was still up to him to handle.

"There’s beer in the fridge," Instructor Hei yawned as he stood up, "You keep watch here for a while, I’m going to rest."

"What about my reward?" Daoist Wang demanded.

Instructor Hei was vague: "It’s on its way, arriving tomorrow, secret transports take a bit longer."

Daoist Wang asked, "Are we continuing to stay at Fortress 82?"

"Yep, according to the info we got from Spiritual Ability City, there should be more Spiritual Ability Users coming here. Keep fighting, your new gear will arrive soon. Let me see, you and this set of X armor to the limit!"

Instructor Hei stretched lazily.

The weariness in his eyes was decidedly not an act.

"The principle now is, they do their thing, we do ours, no holding back, kill anyone who comes."

"We clearly have the upper hand now."

"That van over there is your room, don’t worry, no cameras or detectors, you can reward yourself safely at night."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Wuliang, that Heavenly Venerable.

I can’t comprehend such crude language!

...

Although the cultivation conditions here are a bit rough, having Instructor Hei nearby does give a high sense of security.

Wang Jixuan took out a cushion, which concealed a Spirit Releasing Array made from Blade Beast Outer Bone. He now updated it with three high-quality Crystal Cores, spread his Spiritual Sense around, and stared at several radar interfaces, beginning to meditate.

Hours flew by in a blink.

Wang Jixuan was now absorbing Spiritual Energy much faster.

Just as he was about to change the Crystal Cores, the communicator capable of inter-district contact vibrated continuously.

[Xiao Zhou (Successfully Released): Wow! Grandfather just straight out told me to curse someone out. Awesome! I heard Black Shell Instructor spoke highly of me!]

[Lingtong (Combat Ready): That’s good.]

Wang Jixuan thought it over and decided not to mention he was at Fortress 82.

[Wang Zheng (Light of Righteous): How’s it over at 76? Any Spiritual Ability Users spotted?]

[Lingtong: No sightings yet. There’s been an emergency at Fortress 82, we assume that Spiritual Ability Users will target Fortress 82 for retaliation first.]

[Xiao Zhou: Heard it was our D5’s secret weapon X war armor that got deployed and wiped out Spiritual Ability House in Fortress 82 in no time. This isn’t confirmed yet and is still confidential, but something definitely happened there.]

[Lingtong: Huh? Seems someone is learning to use full armor.]

Wang Jixuan quickly got up, found the ordinary ’Semi-Human Mecha’ armor metal box, and sent a photo over.

[Wang Zheng: I’ve already mastered the basics of operating this device.]

[Lingtong: Keep it up.]

[Xiao Zhou: You could actually spend more time on research, that’s more important.]

[Wang Zheng: Uncle Tai and the others will contact me when they face any problems. Just waiting for their Thunder Summoning Technique experimental data, then we’ll know if mass production is viable. A mature chief designer doesn’t need to do everything personally.]

[Xiao Zhou: (^_−)☆ You’re the expert in design!]

[Wang Zheng: (￣▽￣)~*]

[Lingtong: I’ve got to start a mobilization meeting here. Be safe.]

[Xiao Zhou: She won’t even say ’you guys.’ I’m about to go curse out Spiritual Ability City, any advice?]

[Lingtong: Please master the artful charm of crude words within the human language system.]

Wang Jixuan almost laughed out loud.

But, he really did have something to advise Zhou Zhengde on.

[Wang Zheng: There are three points.]

[Wang Zheng: First, just discuss the current situation, focusing on the serious violations of the Spiritual Ability User at Fortresses 76/82, and avoid discussing historical issues; base everything on current laws and regulations.]

[Xiao Zhou: Right, you make a good point. I need to rewrite my part of the speech.]

[Wang Zheng: Second, don’t be afraid if things escalate. The higher-ups are probably looking to deliberately turn the tables. All the major war zones are tolerating the Thirteenth Institute. In our upcoming confrontations with the Thirteenth Institute, whoever wins, they’ll support.]

[Xiao Zhou: Got it.]

[Wang Zheng: Third, don’t escalate the conflict to the entirety of humankind just yet, just focus on the current real issues—unauthorized experiments, unauthorized materials, passive avoidance of combat, neglect of duty, and unauthorized training of executioners. Also, try not to involve the Mane Bear; treat the Mane Bear as an enemy, push them back to the enemy’s camp; that way the Mane Bear can be of use in the future. From the Mane Bear’s perspective, they haven’t contacted me, so don’t worry about me being exposed.]

[Xiao Zhou: Understood. I’ll rethink the logic of the presentation. Is there anything else you need to remind me of?]

[Wang Zheng: No, that’s all I’ve thought of. I’m just worried you might act impulsively and end up revealing flaws. You’ll come up with similar answers once you calm down and think about it.]

[Xiao Zhou: I’m surprised you’re also knowledgeable about these things.]

[Wang Zheng: As long as I put a little effort into it, everything is within reach. (calmly looks skyward)]

[Xiao Zhou: Uh, Black Shell Instructor is going around saying you’re still a virgin. I have a bit of an advantage there.]

[Wang Zheng: ...Don’t make me swear in front of Lingtong.]

[Xiao Zhou: I’m out of here.]

Daoist Wang’s mouth twitched severely.

He was about to continue his cultivation when the Spiritual Ability Radar control panel that his Spiritual Sense had been enveloping suddenly started to flicker.

Eh? A Spiritual Ability reaction?

Jixuan turned off the formation, swallowed the Spiritual Energy he had just released, and hurried out of the car to the supply vehicle outside.

Instructor Hei also woke up, stretched his neck, and crawled out of the other side of the supply vehicle, walking up to the radar panel to take a look.

"Three Spiritual Ability Users on board the latest model stealth fighter from Spiritual Ability City, with the shielding activated... But their shielding technology can’t block our state-of-the-art detection radar."

Instructor Hei said this as he operated the controls and quickly pulled up a holographic projection.

A photo of the night sky appeared before them, showing the silhouette of an aircraft slowly approaching Fortress 82.

Interestingly, as the aircraft was landing, it was also moving toward the center of the radar interface.

"Are they heading our way?"

"Their landing spot should be six or seven hundred meters away. The main body of the detection radar is over there. It’s indeed a suitable place for concealment, not far from 82 but outside their radar detection range."

Instructor Hei crossed his arms and thought for a moment before turning to look at Jixuan.

"Wanna hit them? Two A’s, one B."

"No," Daoist Wang decisively shook his head and mimicked him by crossing his arms, "Right now, I can at most take down that B. I’m well aware of that much."

Instructor Hei asked with interest, "Don’t you also have that ability, the one with the explosive burst?"

"That’s really harmful to the body; I need to think long-term."

Jixuan earnestly said:

"To be honest, I’m a technical talent, you can’t always have technical talent charging into the fray."

"Alright, then I’ll assign this dangerous mission to... Lingtong and Red Snake."

Jixuan silently scoffed inside, totally unprovoked by Uncle Hei’s taunting.

This old guy is sneakily crafty!

If deploying Half-human Mecha in the war zone were really so trivial, then D5 Zone would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!

Sure enough, Instructor Hei added, "Then I’ll call in a Third Generation Machine to take the lead. What do you think, Wang Xiaohuli?"

"Up to you, but... 2A1B, could this be Mane Bear’s squad? If it is, there’s no rush to wipe them out."

"Who?"

"Dragonfly Lady’s investigation team. According to Mane Bear, she’s a very fearsome Level A Spiritual Ability User, but she has one principle: humans shouldn’t fight humans."

Instructor Hei seemed to recall something, "Her capabilities are indeed terrifying. I’ve dealt with her teacher before. Let’s see if it’s her first."

...

Meanwhile.

In the transport aircraft that Instructor Hei and Wang Zheng had their eyes on, Dragonfly Lady was pacing anxiously.
