312: Chapter 313 Fatty: Seventh Brother, are we still hiring security guards for our lab?

Lin Qi's words made the atmosphere on the scene become somewhat peculiar.

The shock on the faces of Zhang Wei and Instructor Su Qing had not yet completely faded before they were left utterly confused by this sentence, "We have new neighbors."

New neighbors?

Where?

In this radius of dozens of kilometers, aside from the three of us living people, aren't the rest just corpses and vegetables you've beaten down?

Zhang Wei swallowed hard, cautiously leaned forward, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi... where are the neighbors? Why didn't I see them? Could it be... that kind of unclean thing?"

As he spoke, he nervously looked around in all directions, as if a Shadow Assassin would crawl out from some corner at any second.

"Pretty much." Lin Qi weighed the pinch of badge powder in his hand and tossed it away with a flick of his wrist, letting it be washed away by the rain.

"It's just that they are more Advanced and more troublesome than what you're talking about."

That strand of intent locked onto him was full of malice and rage, but in Lin Qi's perception, it felt more like an impotent, raging coordinate marker.

It was just like in a game when you kill a certain boss's messenger and a red debuff icon pops up on the screen saying, "You have been targeted by XX faction."

Annoying, but useless for the time being.

"Advanced? Troublesome?" Zhang Wei's fat face crumpled into a ball. "Even fiercer than those three just now?"

One could make people vanish into thin air, one could kill from the shadows, and another could open a spatial Formation.

In Zhang Wei's eyes, this combination was already at the level of gods fighting.

There was something even more troublesome than this?

"Those just now could at most be considered small mobs coming to scout ahead, or rather... people handing out flyers." Lin Qi's tone was very flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Now, I've torn up the flyers and beaten up the person handing them out. I expect their big boss behind the scenes has already received the complaint."

Zhang Wei: "..."

Instructor Su Qing: "..."

This metaphor... was truly easy to understand, yet it made one's heart skip a beat.

To call a 'Scourge' level Assassination Squad people handing out flyers—in the entire Federation, only his boss probably had that kind of confidence.

Instructor Su Qing's reaction was more direct. She took a step forward and said in a heavy voice, "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

There was no fear in her eyes, only absolute execution.

Since the boss said there was trouble, then they would solve the trouble.

If the sky fell, the boss would hold it up. What she needed to do was handle all the miscellaneous matters for the boss that didn't require his personal intervention.

"Mm, there is indeed work to be done." Lin Qi nodded approvingly.

He looked at the four black totem poles that had already dimmed, then looked at the devastated ground.

"Fatty."

"Here! Brother Qi, your orders!" Zhang Wei immediately stood up straight.

"Is the money still enough?"

"Enough! It must be enough! Even if I have to sell Huichun Hall, it'll be enough!" Zhang Wei patted his chest with a heroic look. Although he had just experienced a life-and-death situation, as long as he was by Lin Qi's side, his sense of security instantly peaked.

"Good." Lin Qi's expression became serious. "From now on, the construction of D-3 Region enters the highest priority. All Materials, no matter how expensive, no matter how rare—one word: buy!"

"I want to build this place into an absolute fortress that not even a needle can pierce or water can leak into in the shortest time possible!"

He paused and added, "All procurement lists are to be moved to the highest priority. Additionally, purchase three times the amount of energy cores and Law stabilization Materials."

The original plan was to take it steady and build slowly.

But the appearance of the Church of Calamity was like a starting gun.

The game had begun early.

"Understood!" Zhang Wei nodded heavily and immediately pulled out his encrypted communicator, starting to arrange things with a flurry of taps. His business sense told him that every word from Brother Qi meant a world-shaking change.

Lin Qi turned to Instructor Su Qing again: "Instructor Su, your task for the next phase is also very heavy."

"Please speak, Boss."

"I will give you a basic Formation map. You are responsible for directing the engineering team to complete the foundation and main frame construction according to the blueprints at the fastest speed. Meanwhile, your Shadow Power is very suitable for handling some 'scraps,' which you can use to stabilize your Realm."

Lin Qi pointed at the fallen assassins.

"As for them, you handle it. Scour everything that should be searched, and then... clear them out."

"Yes." Instructor Su Qing did not hesitate for a moment. With a flick of her wrist, a pitch-black short blade appeared in her hand, and she walked toward the assassins with crisp efficiency.

Seeing the two of them quickly enter their roles, Lin Qi nodded with satisfaction.

A perfect logistics manager and a perfect execution captain.

The team was small, but reliable enough.

He slowly looked up at the gloomy sky.

That 'marker' was like a GPS attached to him. Although it was quiet now, it would eventually attract more 'flies.'

However, who said a GPS could only be used for passive tracking?

It could also be... a signal transmitter.

A signal transmitter he could control to broadcast to the outside world at any time and place: "Gods are fighting here, keep out."

Just then, Zhang Wei's communicator suddenly rang with a sharp alarm.

"Brother Qi! This is bad!" The fatty's face changed as he held up the communicator and shouted.

"The high-altitude airspace control System of D-3 Region has detected an unauthorized fleet entering! The quantity... one Formation!"

"It's the highest identification code of the Federal Military!" Instructor Su Qing also received the information at the same time, adding with a solemn expression, "The lead ship is flying... the badge of the Federal Academy of Sciences!"

Just as she finished speaking.

On the distant horizon, the thick clouds were pushed aside by an invisible force.

Over a dozen silver-gray warships flashing the Federal Military emblem, forming a strict Formation, slowly sailed into the sky above D-3 Region.

The leading one was the most massive. The huge badge of the 'Federal Academy of Sciences · Law Exploration Department' on its hull was exceptionally eye-catching under the gloomy sky.

A massive and solemn pressure descended from the sky.

Lin Qi looked at the fleet, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"They've arrived just in time."

He said softly.

"I was just worried about having nowhere to test the signal strength of my new toy."

"It seems the first batch of spectators has delivered themselves to the door."
