Death Squad

Tian Luo tapped on the table, and the crowd finally quieted down.

"Indeed, he has fallen, and the place where he fell is right here!"

The projection screen behind him changed again, displaying a map with a red dot on it.

The location on the map was outside this country, directly to the east.

"According to the news sent by Feng Zhi, the place is desolate, covered in yellow sand. Yet, above the yellow sand, lush vegetation grows. We shall provisionally call it the Sand Wood Land, and it has been classified as a Level 2 danger zone."

Tian Luo said in a low voice; clearly, he also felt deep regret over Feng Zhi's death.

"In the future, it is best for everyone not to go to those unknown areas. After all, no one knows what the highest Rank of the monsters is. Before Feng Zhi died, he didn't even manage to send a distress signal or final words. Clearly, he died extremely quickly!"

White Leaf, Black Leaf, and Ye Chen exchanged glances.

Clearly, what Feng Zhi encountered was likely a powerhouse like Aoun.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to even send a message before dying.

No one spoke; they felt both regret for Feng Zhi's death and fear of that unknown area.

Seeing the crowd's low spirits, Tian Luo spoke up: "Alright, such things are unavoidable. Everyone should be more careful in the future. This second matter is some good news. We have used core nuclei to develop more efficient thermal weapons, named the X-Series. What has been developed so far is a laser cannon, crafted using core nuclei and energy stones."

"Fortunately, many of the treasures and resources that descended this time can be used for research, allowing ordinary people to also exert combat power. This X-1 laser gun has impressive power. Some places have already started establishing defense lines and putting the X-1 laser gun into use. Our Seventh Area, S City, is on the list. The training of ordinary people and the mastery of the laser guns will be handled by the Vanguard Army."

"The person in charge of this matter will be Elder Hai Ba! A new department will be established, named the Fan Army!"

A man stood up and nodded to the crowd.

The others also applauded, expressing their congratulations.

This person was exactly the man Ye Chen had met in the elevator.

So this man's name was Hai Ba. It seemed he had known about this arrangement beforehand, which was why he was so arrogant.

The status of an Elder, combined with the title of person in charge of the Fan Army, certainly gave him the capital to be arrogant.

Hai Ba said with a chuckle: "I feel deeply honored to serve as the person in charge of the Fan Army, and I am very grateful for Lord Tian Luo's trust. I will certainly manage the Fan Army with dedication and responsibility, and I will not let everyone's trust down!"

Hai Ba wore a humble and kind expression, looking like a completely different person from his previous arrogant and domineering self.

Seeing the displeased expressions on the others, it was clear that the other military departments also held Hai Ba in contempt.

Precisely because of this, it indirectly showed that Hai Ba was a good actor; in front of his superiors, he would pretend to be a kind, responsible, and friendly person.

White Leaf snorted coldly and said: "What a hypocrite, trying to pass off a pig as an elephant!"

After Hai Ba sat down, Tian Luo continued: "The third matter is that, based on our research, we plan to send a team to investigate the new northern region. The Vanguard Army will send twenty people, and each of the eighteen military departments will send two people. Their Rank must be LV30 or above! And they must be core members! This is a mandatory requirement, and the notice has already been sent to the heads of your respective military departments."

"You can discuss privately who should go. The purpose of the trip is to investigate the terrain and explore its characteristics. The departure is set for seven days from now!"

The projection screen behind him refreshed again, with a red dot marked on the map.

Judging by the location, it was in the north of the country. It was pitch black on the map, and no one knew what it looked like or what the terrain was.

"Lord Tian Luo, isn't this matter too sudden!"

"Yes, Lord Tian Luo, you just said earlier not to go to unknown areas, why are you forcing us to go now!"

"Lord Tian Luo, going there so rashly, what is the difference between this and going to our deaths!"

The crowd began to speak all at once.

"Shut up!" Hai Ba looked at the displeased Tian Luo and slammed his hand on the table.

"This is for the Alliance, for the country, for the contribution of everyone. Every matter needs pioneers. Letting you go is your blessing; your names will be remembered by the world. You must have awareness and the bigger picture in mind. When the Law Enforcement Alliance supports you, gives you resources and gold coins, you don't say anything, but as soon as there is something that requires your effort, you all have so many complaints. Where do all these damn problems come from!"

Hai Ba roared at the crowd.

The crowd no longer spoke.

Tian Luo said: "This is mandatory. After you go back, think carefully and discuss who should go. Do not complain to your Master; this is the order of Lord Supreme, and it is not allowed to be refuted!"

After saying this, Tian Luo stood up and left directly.

Hai Ba trotted along to follow him.

The crowd remained in the meeting room, lamenting and complaining.

"What kind of business is this? There's actually a call to go and die!"

"Sigh, this is so damn fucked up. What kind of person is he? A dog!"

"What should we do? Even if we don't want to go, we have to. Who should go!"

"Whoever wants to go can go, I don't want to go!"

White Leaf looked at Ye Chen and the others, sighing: "What should we do? We also have to send two people."

Black Tea swallowed her saliva and said: "We only have ten core members right now, exactly two short. Why don't we ask Master to recruit two new people, and just have those two go!"

Black Tea's suggestion made the eyes of Huang Tea, Green Tea, and Red Tea light up.

"No! Doing this is too unethical. They haven't enjoyed the benefits of being core members, and to send them to their deaths right away is truly unrighteous!"

Ye Chen said with an expressionless face.

"Then who among us will go?"

Red Leaf stood up and sighed: "Alright, stop talking. Master should be back this afternoon. Let's wait until Master returns before discussing this further!"

"Hmm, that's fine too!"

The people in the meeting room left one after another, each with an extremely ugly expression, as if they had eaten shit.

Ye Chen and the ten others also stood up and left the meeting room, arriving at Hao Sheng's courtyard to wait for Hao Sheng to return.

Sitting in the courtyard, White Leaf sighed: "Some things are just inevitable; when they come, you can't stop them!"

"Sigh, what can we do? Does only my Seventh Area have to do this? Do the other areas not have to? Can't they transfer people from other cities? But to use people from just one place, really!" Black Leaf also complained from the side.

Ye Chen sat to the side without speaking.

To be honest, he wanted to go this time; danger and benefits coexist.

He had many trump cards to protect himself, enough to ensure his safety.

Although it was safer within this area, there were too many monks and not enough gruel; many things had already been scavenged by others, and there were basically no good things left.

It would be better to go out and explore; there were still many things he was lacking.

Perhaps there would be unexpected gains outside.
