Chapter 5 Activating Special Project Contingency Plans

After listening, the sentry said, "Hello, I suggest you hand over the antique to the museum."

Zhou Jue: ...

System: ...Hahahahahaha!

"Hello, it's not actually an antique, it's a military shovel, but it's different from ordinary ones, so I want to hand it over to the army. Please wait a moment, I'll show it to you."

Zhou Jue returned to the car, leaned over the driver's seat, and took out a military shovel from the system.

"Look!"

After Zhou Jue took it, he looked at the boundary-breaking shovel, which looked no different from an ordinary military shovel. Fearing that the sentry comrade would not believe him, he gritted his teeth, took the shovel, and swung it at the ground in front of him.

"!!!"

When the sentry saw the asphalt road in front of him being dug up like a block of tofu, he instinctively picked up his gun and aimed it at Zhou Jue.

"Don't move! Drop your weapons!"

Zhou Jue obediently put down the shovel and even raised his hands, just like in the TV shows.

"Look, I'm here to hand over [something], could you help me contact a leader?"

Fearing the sentry would detain her, Zhou Jue quickly added, "I still have some at home!"

The sentry slowly approached, kicked the shovel at Zhou Jue, and seeing that Zhou Jue was behaving obediently, he told Zhou Jue to squat down against the wall, and then took out the communicator from his waist.

"Is this Staff Officer Chen? This is Post Number 1. There's something I need to report..."

Five minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard.

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked briskly, followed by several soldiers with live ammunition.

"Hello, I am Chen Jianguo."

The middle-aged man walked up to Zhou Jue, his face kind but his eyes sharp. "I heard you're going to hand over some special items?"

Zhou Jue stood up. "Yes, hello, Staff Officer Chen, this is the military shovel."

"Let's go inside and talk," Chen Jianguo said, pointing to the gate of the military base.

"Xiao Wang, wrap that military shovel in cloth and be careful."

"yes!"

"Xiao Li, the entrance to our unit hasn't been repaired in years. Find someone to redo the entire ground in front of the entrance, and finish it today."

"yes!"

"Xiao Zhou, you were on duty as usual today. Nothing else happened. Remember that? Contact the person who will be on shift. Come find me after the shift ends."

"yes!"

"Miss Zhou, come on, let's go inside and talk."

Zhou Jue sat in a small conference room with a cup of hot tea in front of him.

Chen Jianguo sat opposite her, holding a small notebook in his hand. "Miss Zhou, you said that shovel was dug out of your yard?"

"Yes, it's right in my backyard, buried in the ground."

Zhou Jue decided to tell part of the truth first: "I think this shovel is unusual, so I want to hand it over to the state."

"Besides this shovel, do you think there's anything else in the house?"

Chen Jianguo narrowed his eyes. "Could you explain in more detail?"

Zhou Jue took a deep breath. "Officer Chen, what I'm about to say might be a bit far-fetched. Please be prepared."

"you say."

"Actually, I didn't dig this shovel out of the yard, but rather I dug out the system. The system took me to another world, and the military shovel was brought back from that world."

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Chen Jianguo put down his pen. "Miss Zhou, what did you say?"

“I know it sounds absurd, but I can prove it.”

Zhou Jue stood up. "I can bring out other things from that world."

"What is that?"

"Plants, and water."

Zhou Jue reached into the Starry Secret Box and took out a Purple Light Grass.

"!"

Chen Jianguo suddenly stood up. The purple grass emitted a faint glow under the conference room lights.

"What's this?"

"This is a type of grass from that world called Purple Light Grass. You can have it tested."

Zhou Jue touched the tea in front of him and found it wasn't too hot anymore. He drank it all in one gulp, then drew out a cup from his spatial storage. "This is water from that world. Drinking it can relieve fatigue."

Chen Jianguo stared at Zhou Jue's hand. "Where did you take that from?"

"I have a portable space."

"Portable space?"

"Yes, just like in the novel."

Chen Jianguo sat back in his chair and rubbed his temples. "Miss Zhou, wait for me a moment."

He picked up the phone on the table. "Hello, is this the old commander? This is Jianguo... Yes, there's an emergency... Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianguo said to Zhou Jue, "Ms. Zhou, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and ask my superiors."

"no problem."

Chen Jianguo walked to the door and said to the soldiers outside, "Xiao Zhou, you guys stay here and guard this place. No one is allowed to enter."

"yes!"

Two hours later, Chen Jianguo returned, followed by an elderly man with gray hair.

"Miss Zhou, this is our leader."

The old man walked up to Zhou Jue and said, "Young lady, my surname is Zhang. You can call me Grandpa Zhang."

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang."

“Jianguo just told me about your situation, and we also tested the items you brought.”

Commander Zhang sat down. "It is indeed not one of our existing plants."

"So you believe what I said?"

"Dubious."

Commander Zhang smiled and said, "However, if what you say is true, then this matter is extremely important."

“I can prove it again.”

Zhou Jue took out a Silver Flower Fruit. "This is a fruit from that world; it has very high energy."

"energy?"

"Yes, eating it can strengthen the body and soul."

Commander Zhang looked at the silver fruit and asked, "Have you eaten it before?"

"I ate one and almost died."

Zhou Jue smiled wryly, "But my health is much better now."

"Will you time travel again next time?"

"Yes, there are 2 days, 20 hours and 15 minutes left until the next crossing."

Chief Zhang and Chen Jianguo exchanged a glance. "So, are you willing to cooperate with our work?"

"Of course I'm willing."

Zhou Jue nodded, "That's why I came."

"Alright, Jianguo, activate the special project contingency plan immediately."

"yes!"

Chen Jianguo picked up the phone and said, "Attention all departments, activate the special project contingency plan, and all relevant personnel must be in place immediately."

"Ms. Zhou, from now on, you will be our special advisor."

Commander Zhang stood up. "We will arrange the best conditions for you."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

"You're welcome, we should thank you."

Commander Zhang patted Zhou Jue on the shoulder, "If what you said is true, then you are a hero of our country."

"I am not a hero, I am just an ordinary person."

Zhou Jue shook his head, "I just want to make a contribution to the country."

"That's enough."

Chief Zhang turned to Chen Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, call Cheng Gan and Sun Jiuchou over as well."

"yes!"

"Ms. Zhou, let's talk somewhere else."

“Okay, Grandpa Zhang, you can call me Xiao Jue.”

"Haha, good boy, let's go."

Zhou Jue followed the two to a larger conference room.

Over the course of half an hour, many people gradually entered the conference room. After the last two people arrived, the conference room door was closed.
