Chapter 193: Chapter 115: Escalation of Conflict! [Vote for Monthly Pass]

The eavesdropped call was cut off by one party.

Inside the temporary supply station.

Wang Jixuan pursed his lips, "I suddenly understand the artistry of swearing."

"They are indeed planning retaliation against Fortress 82."

Instructor Hei stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Are they going to directly destroy Fortress 82?"

"It wouldn’t be crazy enough to destroy a fortress outright, but extremists within the Spirit Management Committee likely have severe anti-human tendencies."

Instructor Hei said coldly:

"The D3 combat zone, which had a head-on conflict with Spiritual Ability City six years ago, had a fortress of five hundred thousand that was destroyed overnight by Upper City, resulting in a tragic death toll of seventy to eighty thousand."

"Moreover, the overall ecology of the fortresses is very fragile. Once an epidemic virus appears, it can easily infect an entire level and cause thousands or tens of thousands of casualties in a short period of time."

"The predecessor of the Thirteenth Institute, these bioexperimental labs, were cultivating deadly viruses during the Golden Age as the butchers for some hegemonic countries."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Daoist Wang urgently needed a term with more attacking power than ’Demon Cult’.

He asked, "So what do we do now? Evacuate the entire Fortress 82 immediately?"

"We can only try to protect the civilians, prepare for a proactive battle, and let them come at us."

Instructor Hei said indifferently:

"Even though the battlefield is on our side, it does indeed make us passive everywhere, but as long as they want retaliation, the situation can keep escalating."

"Wang Zheng, you just focus on research and development, don’t worry about these things. I will transfer enough troops over."

"The Sari Desert is a good place... a good place to bury the ambitions of Spiritual Ability Users."

Mu Dan listened carefully by the side and wisely chose to remain silent at this time.

Wang Jixuan smiled, "Then I’ll get back to research and development."

He was happy to have less to worry about.

"Mhm, if not necessary, I won’t make you take action, but with X War Armor, you are now an effective B-level combat force in this region. Be prepared for battle later."

Instructor Hei pointed at the metal box in the corner, inside of which was the weapon shipped along with Mu Dan.

Instructor Hei introduced:

"That’s the prototype for the Destruction Cannon, which can be equipped with your X armor."

"However, it won’t be as convenient to use as the mechanical arms of Deep Sea and Lingtong... but in terms of power, it’s capable... and it could also work for your wingman."

Mu Dan looked expectantly at Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang laughed, "She’s doing fine with her current work. For combat, I’ll handle it."

Mu Dan lowered her head a bit disappointedly, then perked up and made a worshipful expression: "Boss, you’re so boyfriend material."

"Your expression is too fake, practice more."

Wang Jixuan turned and returned to his supply vehicle.

Instructor Hei stretched out lazily, sat on the sofa, and turned on the holographic projection of the newspaper: "Keep working, little Mechanical Body."

"Got it," Mu Dan retorted with a pout, "Half-Mechanical Body."

"You’d better not always mock me; I am the boss of your boss."

"A loyal wingman only cares about the boss they’re bound to, all the way until their core burns out."

"Damn it," Instructor Hei muttered, "I knew I shouldn’t have created such a strong binding principle. I never imagined I’d be mocked by a loyal wingman one day."

"Mu Dan is a pearl in the crown of human technology, you would count as half a pearl. A Half-Mechanical Body being bullied by a Mechanical Body, in some ways, is also a senior offering guidance to a junior."

"Shut up!"

"Hehehe, you can still feel anger? Seems the expression of emotions isn’t so smooth in that mechanical face of yours. Do you need some oil, Half, Mechanical, Body?"

"Wang Zheng! Turn off the Poison Tongue system of this wingman of yours!"

Wang Jixuan’s voice came through: "I’m busy with research, don’t bother me, Uncle."

"Hehe, the boss is biased towards Mu Dan, obviously because Mu Dan has black stockings and a maid outfit. Do you want a set too? Half, Mechanical, Body boss?"

Uncle Hei covered his eyes with his hand.

Mu Dan hummed with pride, her nails painted in light pink varnish twinkled as she continued with the work Wang Jixuan had assigned.

...

With Mu Dan as a loyal wingman doing security, Wang Jixuan’s life and cultivation became much more convenient.

She could guard the door, cook, possessed an unknown level of combat power, could operate various scientific instruments, help maintain Wang Jixuan’s X armor, and even sew various kinds of clothing.

——Although most of them were maid outfits she wore herself.

It was clear to see that the development team that created the loyal wingman had really put thought into all aspects.

Wang Jixuan had been eating military canned food before, but after Mu Dan took over the logistics, the food quality improved noticeably...

She could even fry sugar.

Thus, Wang Jixuan spent three days at ease in cultivation.

The later stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm kept beckoning him, but cultivation was a process of gradual progression like ’watching the mountains run the horses to death’.

The Qi Sea slowly expanded;

His flesh and blood were nourished over and over;

His soul kept evolving towards the Primordial Soul.

In those three days, a continuous stream of information from various channels gathered before Wang Jixuan.

Dragonfly Lady’s investigation team was supposed to have left, but they returned just a few hours after departing. This time, they did not approach Fortress 82. Instead, they stationed themselves covertly in the desert a few kilometers away.

Clearly, the Spirit Management Committee was still trying to pressure Dragonfly Lady into action.

The D5 combat zone was not idle either.

Fortress 76 strengthened its defensive positions and detection radars, armored like a porcupine.

Fortress 82 was tightened inside and seemingly relaxed outside. The population of Upper City was temporarily moving to Middle City, trying their best not to retain any non-military personnel on the top three levels.

Over five Half-human Mecha and twelve special operations teams were positioned around Fortress 82.
