148: Chapter 148 Team Reunion

After hanging up the phone,

Shangguan Yue's expression was somewhat complicated.

She had to maintain border security, and since a major war was likely to break out soon, she had to stay here; she couldn't return to China's interior to clear out the enemies.

"Chen Feng, I hope you can survive this ordeal!"

Shangguan Yue stopped dwelling on the matter.

Although it was true that the War Department had brought trouble to Chen Feng, the situation had already happened. Talking more was useless; everything would have to be settled with fists.

"Long Yi, what's the status of the wounded?"

"Commander!"

Long Yi quickly reported, "Three members are dead, eleven are seriously injured, and the rest are fine. They can fight again after a few days of recovery!"

Shangguan Yue's expression was cold and indifferent, showing no emotion.

In her years on the battlefield, she had witnessed far too many sacrifices.

She had even become somewhat numb to it!

She was originally just a young woman.

For the sake of so-called responsibility and faith, she had no choice but to put on a combat suit, come to the battlefield, and become the leader of the entire War Department.

Enemies had once mocked her.

Asking if all the men in China were dead, since they had handed the power of the entire War Department to a woman in her twenties.

In the end,

Shangguan Yue used her fists to ensure those enemies who mocked her could no longer laugh!

China had its men!

Even Heavenly King-level experts who surpassed Five-Star Generals were not few in number!

It was just that Shangguan Yue was born into a military family.

She had possessed a talent for fighting since childhood and had undergone training far beyond that of ordinary people.

She was stronger than the average Heavenly King-level expert!

Now at the border,

she had at least six Heavenly King-level experts under her command guarding all sides, maintaining the safety of the border!

Now that her body was having problems,

she originally needed to find a future successor. Although those Heavenly King-level experts were quite strong, they didn't meet her requirements.

Shangguan Yue hoped the future Commander's strength would be able to completely crush the enemy!

Just like how she had killed those four enemies just now, leaving the opponent with no power to fight back.

Only in this way

could fewer comrades die!

Pulling back her thoughts,

she glanced at the combat suits on the off-road vehicle again and said calmly, "Take count. Everyone at or above the level of Four-Star Warrior, put on the combat suits.

There should still be people infiltrating near the border; follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Now with the Commander presiding and Heavenly King-level experts assisting at the four corners of the border,

dealing with a few intruders would be no problem!

Long Yi also quickly counted the escorted combat suits; not a single one of the two hundred sets was missing.

He quickly reported, "Commander, the number of combat suits is accurate, two hundred sets exactly!"

Then he looked at the corpses on the ground and said with a calm expression, "Xiao Wu and the others' remains..."

"Take their ashes back. Go comfort their families once we return and see if they have any difficulties. Compensate them as they should be compensated; after all, they sacrificed themselves for China and the War Department."

Shangguan Yue sighed.

Normally, according to the rules, she would visit them one by one herself.

However, she couldn't get away.

"Understood!"

Long Yi quickly made arrangements.

Only the dozen or so people Shangguan Yue brought weren't wearing combat suits.

After they put them on, the remaining three hundred-plus sets were transferred to Shangguan Yue's off-road vehicles.

Once everything was ready,

just as they were about to leave, a convoy slowly approached.

There were forty or fifty people in this convoy, including Four-Star Warriors, Five-Star Generals, and even Three-Star Generals.

This was precisely the team Zhang Tianxiang had gathered to rush to the border to protect Shangguan Yue.

The convoy quickly arrived before them.

Huan Zi jumped straight down and called out, "Commander!"

Shangguan Yue noticed they also bore injuries.

Her willow-like brows furrowed slightly. "Did you encounter enemies on the way as well?"

"We encountered three infiltrators, but we've already taken them out!"

Huan Zi clenched his fists, clearly somewhat excited.

At the same time, it was clear that the enemies they encountered weren't too strong—at least weaker than the four from earlier.

Shangguan Yue nodded.

Suddenly, she saw General Yu Batian in the crowd, and a cold light flashed across her face.

An aura instantly erupted.

"Who told you to come?!"

General Yu Batian was so scared he fell to his knees with a thud. "Com... Commander, I know my sins are inexcusable, but now is a time when we need people.

I only hope to make a contribution to the War Department. I beg for the Commander's fulfillment!"

By now, he already knew it was because he had offended Chen Feng that the Commander was displeased.

And Chen Feng...

was someone the Commander valued!

He was even the Commander's future successor!

At the thought of this, a faint fear lingered in his heart.

Shangguan Yue said coldly, "Remember what you said. Huan Zi, keep an eye on him. If you discover he has any crooked thoughts, execute him immediately!"

"Understood!"

Huan Zi nodded.

If General Yu Batian truly intended to work for the War Department, the Commander might spare him. But if he had other intentions, he likely wouldn't leave this place alive.

At that moment,

Huan Zi suddenly walked up to Shangguan Yue and whispered, "Commander, Minister Zhang said a major war will break out in ten days. He also said your chronic condition will flare up that day.

He said it's best if you don't go to the battlefield that day. Our coming here this time is also to protect your safety!"

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Yue's heart skipped a beat.

She had just killed four of the enemy's Heavenly King-level experts; this would definitely become a fuse.

It was a foregone conclusion that war would break out in ten days!

Including her own chronic condition...

Calculating it now...

it was indeed in about ten days!

She suddenly looked at Huan Zi, her cold face finally showing a trace of change. "Minister Zhang..."

Huan Zi seemed to have known what she was going to ask and quickly whispered, "I heard Minister Zhang take a phone call before he ordered us to rush over.

From his tone, it sounded like Chen Feng was the one calling..."

"Chen Feng again!"

Shangguan Yue's feelings were very complex.

She understood that this Chen Feng must have some secret; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know so accurately.

Forget it!

I'll get through my own crisis first!

...

On the other side,

after receiving Shangguan Yue's call, Zhang Tianxiang quickly mobilized all the experts in China.

At the same time,

he also activated the Skynet system, using satellites and cameras in all public areas to find the hidden enemies.

As the representative of the War Department within China, Zhang Tianxiang had also kept some cards up his sleeve.

As the orders were issued,

members across China began to take action.

There were also a small number of Heavenly King-level experts performing missions inside China.

In a dark alley somewhere, a tall figure quickly killed two people, then cleared the bodies and left rapidly.

In an underground garage, a man killed three people...

In a rental house, two corpses were discovered...

Most of these infiltrators were found, but a few were specially trained and could avoid all cameras.

They left almost no traces where they passed.

They were difficult to track!

Zhang Tianxiang thought for a long time; as long as he couldn't clear everyone out, he couldn't guarantee Chen Feng's safety.

In desperation,

he dialed Chen Feng's number.

(I've returned home today and didn't have time to write during the day. I'll post one chapter first, and there will be two more tonight after I write them.)
