Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Suicide Squad
Celestial Net patted the table, and everyone finally quieted down.
"Indeed, it’s true, and the site of the fall is right here!"
The screen behind changed again, showing a map with a red dot on it.
The location on the map was outside this country, directly to the east.
"According to the information from Wind Charm, the place is desolate, covered in yellow sand, yet lush vegetation grows on top of the sand. We shall temporarily call it the Land of Sand Wood, and classify it as a Level Two danger zone."
Celestial Net said in a low voice, obviously feeling regretful about Wind Charm’s death.
"From now on, everyone, it’s better not to venture into those unknown areas. After all, no one knows the highest level of the creatures there. Before Wind Charm died, he didn’t even send a distress signal or final words, clearly indicating he died very swiftly!"
Bai Ye, Hei Ye, and Ye Chen exchanged glances.
It seems that Wind Charm might have encountered a formidable being like Orn.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to even send out a message before dying.
Everyone remained silent, both regretting Wind Charm’s death and fearing the unknown region.
Seeing the group’s low spirits, Celestial Net spoke up: "Alright, it’s inevitable in such matters. Everyone should be more careful in the future. The second piece of news is promising: we have developed more efficient thermal weapons using the Heart Core, naming the series X. Currently, a laser cannon has been developed, made with Heart Core and energy stones.
Thankfully, many treasures and resources that descended this time can be used for development, allowing ordinary people to exert combat power. The X-1 Laser Gun is also notably powerful, and some places have begun establishing defense lines, deploying the X-1 Laser Gun. Our Seventh Region’s S City is on the list, and the training of ordinary people and handling of laser guns shall be managed by the Vanguard Army.
The person responsible for this matter will be Elder Sea Tyrant! A new department, called the Mortal Army, is to be established!"
A man stood up, nodding to everyone.
The rest also applauded, congratulating him.
This was the person Ye Chen encountered in the elevator.
It turns out his name is Sea Tyrant, and it seems he knew about this arrangement beforehand, hence his arrogance.
With the title of an elder and head of the Mortal Army, he indeed has the capital for arrogance.
Sea Tyrant said with a smile, "I feel deeply honored to serve as the head of the Mortal Army, and I’m grateful for Celestial Net’s trust. I will certainly manage the Mortal Army responsibly, and not let you all down!"
Sea Tyrant wore a humble and amiable expression, a stark contrast to his previously arrogant demeanor.
Seeing the disdainful looks from others, it’s clear that the other military departments also despise Sea Tyrant.
This indicates that Sea Tyrant is good at acting, appearing amicable and responsible before superiors.
Bai Ye huffed coldly: "What a ridiculous pretender!"
After Sea Tyrant sat down, Celestial Net continued, "The third matter is, after 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 Eighteenth Military Departments will send two people, all must be above Level 30! Moreover, they must be core members! This is a mandatory requirement, and notifications have already been sent to your respective department heads.
You can discuss privately who to send. The purpose is to survey the terrain and explore key features, with departure set for seven days later!"
The screen refreshed again, a red dot marked on the map.
The location appeared to be in the country’s north, enveloped in darkness, with unknown terrain.
"Celestial Net, isn’t this too sudden!"
"Yes, Celestial Net, you just said not to venture into unknown areas, why enforce this now!"
"Celestial Net, isn’t this reckless? Isn’t this akin to sending us to our death!"
Everyone clamored.
"Silence!" Sea Tyrant glared at Celestial Net’s displeased expression and slammed the table.
"This is for the alliance, the country, contributing for everyone, in any matter, there must be pioneers. You’re fortunate to be sent, your names will be remembered by all. Have the consciousness, have the spirit, daily the Law Enforcement Alliance provides for you, gives you resources, Gold Coins, did you not speak then? But when it’s time for action, you all have complaints, what’s with all this nonsense?"
Sea Tyrant roared at them.
No one spoke further.
Celestial Net said: "This is mandatory. Go back, decide well on who to send, and do not complain to your masters. This is Supreme Master’s order, no objections allowed!"
Finishing his words, Celestial Net stood up and left.
Sea Tyrant followed quickly.
The rest remained in the meeting room, lamenting loudly.
"What is this, sending us to our deaths?"
"Ugh, such crap, what a load of bull!"
"What to do, we have to go if we’re told, who’ll go!"
"Whoever wants to can go, I don’t want to!"
Bai Ye looked at Ye Chen and the others, sighed, and said, "What do we do? We also have to send two people out."
Black Tea swallowed nervously, and said, "We now have only ten core members, exactly missing two, maybe we can ask master to recruit two more, and send those two!"
Black Tea’s suggestion brightened the eyes of Huang Cha, Green Tea, and Hong Cha.
"No! That’s unethical, new core members haven’t even enjoyed the benefits, sending them first is really inconsiderate!"
Ye Chen said with an expressionless face.
"Then who should go?"
Hong Ye stood up and sighed, "Alright, stop discussing, master should be back this afternoon, let’s decide when he returns!"
"Okay!"
The people in the meeting room gradually left, each with an extraordinarily unpleasant expression, like they had just eaten something vile.
Ye Chen and the ten others also stood and left the meeting room, heading to Hao Sheng’s courtyard, waiting for his return.
Sitting in the courtyard, Bai Ye sighed, "It’s like destiny can’t be avoided, the storm can’t be stopped!"
"Sigh, what now, do only people from the Seventh Region handle this? The other regions just sit back? Can’t we have people from other cities? Just using people from one place is just!" Hei Ye also complained from the side.
Ye Chen sat quietly, not speaking.
Truth be told, this time he wanted to go, danger and opportunity coexist.
He had many cards to ensure his safety.
This region is relatively safe, but resources are scarce, having been scavenged by others, leaving little.
Better to venture out, he still needed many things.
There might be unexpected gains outside!
