Chapter 48: Chapter 39 Honest and Trustworthy Master Wang

The other end of the communication fell silent.

About a dozen seconds later, the elderly man on the other side asked with as gentle a tone as possible, "Zheng De, good child, don’t be afraid. In which Fortress are you located?"

"Fortress number 76 in the Middle Ages Basin."

"Who is the Governor of 76? Security team! Now, right now, this instant, call him and ask if he can do his job. If he can’t, he can roll out!"

"Grandpa."

Zhou Zhengde looked at the bewildered Biological Minister, his voice quivering as if he were about to cry:

"Or maybe you could plead with the Thirteenth Institute on my behalf? I dare not investigate them anymore. Their live experiments are for the victory of the human future. I—I’ve realized that the safety of your life and mom’s is the most important thing."

"Zheng De, are you alright? Be strong! You are a man!"

The old man on the other side burst into curses:

"Fuck his grandfather! I’m out here fighting Blade Beasts on the front line, and you’re screwing with my only grandson in the rear!

"Drag that bastard Zhuang Mingqi over here! Beat him up first then bring him here! Damn it! Bust his balls and give him an alloy replacement! When it comes to fighting Blade Beasts, he’s inactive, but he’s a master at internal strife! I’m going to end him today!

"Zheng De! You give them my name! I told you to do it!"

Beep!

The call was rudely disconnected from that end.

Zhou Zhengde closed the communicator, wiped away the tears that almost spilled, and looked up at the Biological Minister of Fortress 76.

He gave a twisted smile.

Zhuang Mingqi, head of the Thirteen Institute’s branch in the D5 Combined Combat Zone, one of the true high-level managers of the Thirteenth Institute, and Kong Nu’s immediate superior.

"You..."

Biological Minister Kong Nu of Fortress 76 asked with a frown:

"Who were you just on the phone with?"

"A hot-tempered but affable old man. Go back and wait for a notification; I suppose your superior will contact you soon."

Zhou Zhengde shrugged his shoulders and winked his left eye at the Biological Minister:

"The custom in my family is to follow the maternal surname. I take my mother’s surname, and she takes my grandmother’s. This actually conceals the identity of my mother and me to avoid retaliation from the Mimic Blade Beasts.

"Why would my mom, a professional accountant, be cherished and appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs of a major industrial Fortress?

"Because my grandpa is the Commander of the United Defense Army in the D5 Battle Zone.

"Yes, the last hero of the Fortress Era, the first person to undergo limb prosthetic transformation, the pilot of the first-generation Horror Mecha.

"Indeed, I can’t do anything about your Thirteenth Institute; you are a cross-regional organization, holding the technical patents for Spiritual Ability Users and most of the medical resources, engaged in an open and covert struggle with the United Defense Army, mutually restraining each other.

"But at least, the Thirteenth Institute units at the level of a Fortress, really can’t threaten me."

"Kong Nu, senior researcher."

Zhou Zhengde slowly stood, his hands bracing the edge of the table, his body leaning forward slightly, his eyes gleaming with a sharp edge.

"You’d better get that list and accounts before I do. If I get my hands on that list, you’ll have no choice but to take your own life. Or, be taken."

Kong Nu’s face turned ashen, and he stormed out the door.

As the two Spiritual Ability Users left, the man put away his dagger with a smile and saluted them with a military gesture; the woman gathered up her skirt and performed a lady’s curtsy.

Spiritual Ability Users learn quickly.

They grasped human etiquette in the blink of an eye.

Inside the new dormitory.

Wang Jixuan rested his hand on his forehead.

Lin Bo turned off the monitor and took out the vibrating communicator, looking up to say:

"Squad leader, the team leader says you can rest easy and talk later at the party tonight."

"Hmm, thank you for the hard work."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment:

"What exactly is the position of Battle Zone Commander?"

"It is the highest military office in the Battle Zone!"

Lin Bo muttered softly:

"Our Middle Ages Basin itself is a small combat zone, also known as the geographical battle zone. Several neighboring geographical zones form a larger battle zone. Our Commander has won many battles against Blade Beasts, and even the Council of Governors in the D5 Combined Combat Zone doesn’t dare to criticize the Commander.

"Our combat zone is also the most active and enduring in the world."

Wang Jixuan asked, "The Great General... then, the Thirteen Institute being cross-regional refers to what?"

"Biological Institute Thirteen has become a worldwide organization, and they are also a haven for many privilege groups from the Golden Age of human society."

Lin Bo sighed:

"The experiments with Spiritual Ability Users are said to be dirty, but they are also an essential force for the decapitation operations against the Blade Beasts. However, in recent years, more and more Spiritual Ability Users are refusing to go to the battlefield. They think they are a new type of human, a great existence that transcends old humanity, huh, a bunch of narcissistic idiots.

"I even heard that some Spiritual Ability Users are trying to communicate with Blade Beasts and advocate for peaceful coexistence with them."

Wang Jixuan asked opportunistically, "Could you do me a favor? I’m not familiar with everywhere here."

"Of course!"

"I want to grow some vegetables; can you help me get some formula soil and seeds from the Wanli Gold Gang?"

"No problem!"

Lin Bo patted his chest:

"I’ll make arrangements for it right away! I always used to run down to the Lower City, and to covertly protect the squad leader, the team leader had already made contact with the heads of Wanli Gold, so it’s best I handle this!

"But I need to report this to the team leader."

"Thank you, feel free to report."

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Bo saluted military style and quickly left the room.

Wang Jixuan stood there, deep in thought for a while.

He had several questions he couldn’t figure out.

"Ah, there’s a party tonight; surely, the parties here are different from the reigning champions of the freak zone brothels, right?"

Daoist Wang was somewhat apprehensive.

...

In the depths of the night at the Fortress.

Bang!

Kong Nu clenched his fist and slammed it down on the office desk before him, his face livid, his breathing short, his eyes flashing with the cold light of a venomous snake.
