208: Chapter 208 Amaterasu Toilet? Lin Yuan: Three days later, send it into the sea.
Early morning.
There were two people missing in the dining room.
Captain Han Xue wasn't there.
Qin Yumo wasn't there either.
Tang Qiqi bit her spoon, her eyes darted around the empty seats, and her voice dropped very low.
"Sister Yumo went to save the situation in the master bedroom last night; I'm afraid she wasn't punished as a rabbit along with the Great Demon King, right?"
Jiang Xiaowan lifted her eyes.
Feng Qingwu also looked at her.
Tang Qiqi immediately shoved the spoon into her mouth.
"I didn't say anything."
Su Xiaonuan was sitting next to the head of the table, flipping through reports without looking up.
The dining table of Tiangong No. 1 was never an ordinary dining table.
Lin Yuan hadn't arrived, so no one touched their chopsticks.
Two minutes later.
Lin Yuan walked into the dining room.
He had changed into a black shirt, the cuffs buttoned to his wrists, and there was no trace of last night's tossing and turning on his face.
Everyone stood up at the same time.
"Boss Lin."
"Master."
"Mr. Lin."
The titles were different, but the meaning was the same.
Here, he was the only order.
Lin Yuan sat down.
Su Xiaonuan immediately handed over the report.
"Boss Lin, Master Onizuka has spilled."
Lin Yuan took it.
The dining room fell silent.
Su Xiaonuan's voice was very steady.
"The Japanese Side has established a core stronghold in Shanghai."
"The name is—Amaterasu Shrine."
Tang Qiqi almost choked on her porridge.
"Isn't that name just begging to be blown up?"
Su Xiaonuan continued: "According to Master Onizuka's confession, they use some kind of ritual there to allow ninjas to acquire Superpowers."
"Currently, the number of combat personnel known to have fused ninjutsu and Superpowers is close to two thousand."
The air in the dining room paused for a moment.
Two thousand.
Not two hundred.
Not twenty.
Two thousand Superpowered ninjas.
Su Muxue put down her chopsticks.
"Master Onizuka didn't awaken?"
"No."
Su Xiaonuan flipped to the next page. "He and that squad at the water plant were not illuminated by the so-called 'Divine Light'."
"That's why his status in the organization is very low."
"Coming to Jiang City to snatch the awakening serum this time was to earn credit."
Jiang Xiaowan sneered.
"No wonder they were in such a rush to die; turns out they were corporate outsiders chasing performance metrics."
Tang Qiqi nodded.
"The Shanghai Ninja Guild, the most hardworking employees of the year."
Lin Yuan looked at the report without picking up the joke.
A Jonin like Master Onizuka who hadn't awakened could already break thirty trained soldiers.
If two thousand people all possessed Superpowers.
Shanghai wasn't just a stronghold anymore.
It was a war machine that had already started running.
Su Xiaonuan said in a low voice: "Grandmaster Ling went to Shanghai alone."
The dining room fell silent again.
Grandmaster Ling Suzhen was strong.
An Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster, a reincarnator, possibly a player.
But no matter how strong she was, she was just one person.
Two thousand Superpowered ninjas meant group combat.
Lin Yuan placed the report on the table.
"Liu Qing."
The broadcast connected immediately.
"Master, I am here."
"Use those three known jump points to send a message to Shanghai."
Keyboard sounds came from Liu Qing's side.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud.
"First, Master Onizuka has been captured alive."
"Second, Jiang City does not accept any infiltration."
"Third, from now on, if one more ninja steps into Jiang City, I will bury your stronghold in Shanghai, people and shrine alike, into the sea."
No one in the dining room spoke.
Su Xiaonuan's hand holding the pen paused for a second.
She had followed Lin Yuan the longest.
She could hear it.
This ultimatum wasn't just venting anger.
It was a probe.
If Shanghai responded aggressively, it meant the other side was confident, and Lin Yuan would strike first.
If Shanghai remained silent, it meant their 'Divine Light ritual' had flaws, or the elders didn't want to expose their trump cards.
Liu Qing replied quickly: "Message sent."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Eat first."
"After the meal, gather the core members for a meeting."
Half an hour later.
Inner Circle meeting room.
The large screen lit up.
Cloud Top Palace, Nanjiang Water Plant, the old site of Ston School, Jiang University, the ruined area of the South Suburbs, the agency area of Zhe City.
All nodes were connected on the map.
Lin Yuan stood in front of the screen.
"We go to Shanghai in three days."
With one sentence, everyone looked up.
Then he looked at Lu Yan.
"Upgrade the defenses of Tiangong No. 1."
Lu Yan immediately stepped forward.
"The plan already has a prototype."
He clicked on the fortress structure diagram.
"After the B2 nuclear reactor is connected, the external power grid can increase its power by three times."
"Add two rock walls to the north slope and bury shock mines at the bottom of the slope."
"Change the entrance of the Inner Circle to a double gate; abandon comfort for the first gate and make it a dedicated killing zone."
Fat Dragon took over.
"Evacuate all the old and weak in the outer circle to the underground passage."
"Organize those who can hold a knife into a reserve team."
"I'll burn anyone who dares to cause trouble in the chaos into charcoal."
Tank said in a muffled voice: "I'll handle the surrendered soldiers from the South Suburbs."
Sister Long crossed her arms.
"I'm responsible for the female prisoner team guarding the medical area."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Su Xiaonuan, take inventory of the expedition supplies."
"Prepare everything according to a seven-day standard."
Su Xiaonuan lowered her head to record.
"Understood."
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs.
Captain Han Xue arrived.
She wasn't walking fast.
Her black combat uniform was worn neatly, the rabbit tail had been removed, and her back was still straight.
Only her lips were a bit pale.
Tang Qiqi took a secret look and quickly looked away.
Captain Han Xue walked in front of Lin Yuan.
"Mr. Lin, I request to join the expedition team."
Lin Yuan looked at her.
"What are you going to do in Shanghai?"
Captain Han Xue pressed her lips together.
"I can command."
Lin Yuan pointed to Zhou Heng.
"Assist Zhou Heng with training within three days."
"I need three hundred logistics cannon fodder."
The words were harsh.
But Captain Han Xue didn't lower her head.
In that battle at the quarry, she lost to Master Onizuka.
But those thirty ordinary people, in her hands, had indeed bitten off flesh from the ninjas.
This was her position.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan continued: "Starting today, Captain Han Xue is temporarily relieved of command of the outer circle."
There was a commotion among the outer circle teams.
"Zhou Heng will take over."
Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, then stood straight.
"Received."
Little Li stood in the crowd and lowered his voice to ask Fat Dragon.
"Brother Dragon, is Captain Han…"
Fat Dragon chewed on an unlit cigarette and chuckled.
"Can't tell? Don't call her Captain Han anymore."
"Call her Consort Han."
Tang Qiqi's crisp voice sounded immediately.
"Fat Dragon, read more books when you have time; don't hang those harem drama lines on your lips; it makes you look very uncultured."
The people around were stunned for a moment.
Then they burst into laughter.
Fat Dragon's face turned black.
"Miss Qiqi, this is folk art."
The tense atmosphere in the hall eased a little.
Just at this moment.
Qin Yumo finally appeared.
She had changed into a clean combat uniform, her red hair tied up, and her walking posture was a bit unnatural.
But her eyes were bright.
She walked straight to Lin Yuan.
"Master."
Lin Yuan looked at her.
"Not punished anymore?"
Qin Yumo's earlobes turned red, but her neck was held very straight.
"Finished the punishment in bed."
"I'll earn it back on the battlefield."
Tang Qiqi covered her face.
"Sister Yumo, you are really daring."
Jiang Xiaowan tutted.
"Valkyrie, the name is well-deserved."
Lin Yuan didn't tease her further.
"Granted."
Qin Yumo couldn't suppress the corner of her mouth.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan turned to look at Su Muxue.
"You lead the team and take over the remaining nodes in Jiang City first."
Su Muxue lifted her eyes.
This was the first time Lin Yuan had let her independently represent Tiangong No. 1 to exercise power.
"Sister Long, Tank, you take a team to assist."
Su Muxue closed the tablet.
"Resisters?"
Lin Yuan's voice was very calm.
"Kill them directly."
Su Muxue nodded.
"Understood."
The meeting ended, and everyone attended to their duties.
In Lin Yuan's eyes, no matter how bad the relationship with the capital was, it was still a civil war within the Dragon Kingdom.
Two hours later.
Su Muxue led the team and left Cloud Top Palace.
The snowmobile drove over the ruined road.
Sister Long sat in the passenger seat, spinning an axe in her hand.
Tank sat in the back seat, like a wall.
They successively incorporated three small strongholds.
The first one knelt upon opening the door.
The second one handed over the granary.
The third one, the leader opened his mouth to tell Lin Yuan to come himself, and was stabbed in the head by Su Muxue's ice spike.
In the evening.
The convoy arrived at the last node.
Northeast Logistics Park.
The walls here had been reinforced, and a sign for the Capital Temporary Aid Station was hanging at the gate.
There were also several heavy machine guns on the wall.
Just as Su Muxue got out of the car, someone inside the gate recognized her.
"Su Muxue?"
The gate opened.
An old man walked out with a cane.
Head of the Su Family.
Behind him followed her second brother, Su Changqing.
