"Excellent, excellent! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

Just as Fang Qingdai finished speaking, a strong and resonant voice rang out.

Fang Qingdai looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person was an old man with a full head of white hair, but with a ruddy complexion and full of energy.

Behind the old man were four tall and upright young men who stood on either side of him, their steps synchronized and powerful.

Fang Qingdai's eyes flashed, and her expression instantly softened.

She looked at Lu Hai, her eyes questioning his identity.

Lu Hai's staff and patrol members mixed in with the crowd all stepped forward to greet them. Even Li Weidong's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly went to meet them.

"Base Commander, why did you come here in person?"

The old man waved his hand to interrupt the greetings and strode towards Fang Qingdai, saying with a smile, "I heard that a high-level spatial ability user has emerged in the base, so I came to see for myself."

He walked up to Fang Qingdai and carefully examined her. He saw that Fang Qingdai looked delicate and gentle, but her eyes were clear and bright, and she had a tenacity that rivaled that of men. The base commander's smile grew even more delighted.

"It's a good thing I came in person. A dual-elemental ability user with both spatial and wood-based abilities, such talent, and a heart set on fighting crime, his future is limitless!"

Seeing that the base commander greatly admired Fang Qingdai, Li Weidong frowned slightly, but immediately put on a smile and praised, "Yes, the base now has a capable person to take on responsibilities in the future!"

The base commander looked at Li Weidong, his smile unchanged, but his eyes were a little less intense: "Commander Li, you are in charge of all the superhuman teams in the base. With this girl's talent, what do you think is the best way to arrange things for her?"

Li Weidong replied with a smile: "Although Qingdai is a dual-elemental ability user, her level 5 spatial ability is only a support type, and her wood-elemental ability also seems to be still weak. In addition, she is still too young. I think she is more suitable to be the vice-captain of the team. She should gain experience for a year or two before she can be promoted!"

Above a squad is a brigade, and above a brigade is a regiment.

Fang Qingdai is primarily a space-based character and is quite young, so starting as the team's vice-captain is not beneath her.

After all, Li Weidong also said that it was mainly for training.

But the base commander was clearly not satisfied. He looked at Lu Rui, who was lying on the ground with a pale face: "Commander Li means to arrange this girl into Captain Lu's team?"

The base commander's mockery was so obvious that Li Weidong's expression stiffened slightly.

Li Weidong smirked, speaking in a tone that seemed to be for Fang Qingdai's good: "As far as I know, Lu Rui's team was once led by Qingdai's parents. Everyone in the team knows Qingdai, so her joining Lu Rui's team is somewhat of a favor."

The base commander's smile vanished, replaced by a somber expression as he stared at Li Weidong, exuding an overwhelming aura of pressure: "So, Qingdai is a descendant of a martyr?"

"Oh no, we can't call her a martyr, after all, her parents may not have died." The base commander said meaningfully.

Fang Qingdai brainstormed for a long time and gradually came to a conclusion!

The base commander is not on the same page as Li Weidong and his group, and he should know something about the underhanded things they are up to behind the scenes.

But for some reason, the base commander maintained a calm demeanor, only hinting at things indirectly, without letting the matter be exposed.

If even the leader of a base has this attitude...

Fang Qingdai's heart sank slightly.

“I just saw it all. Qingdai is quick-witted, and she uses her spatial abilities with great offensive power. She also has wood-type abilities, so her combat power will only increase. I think she is fully capable of taking on the responsibility and leading a team of ability users on her own!”

Ignoring Li Weidong's increasingly grim expression, the base commander continued, "It would be a waste to place such a talented person under someone else. What do you think, Commander Li?"

Li Weidong lowered his eyes, then raised them again with that gentle smile that remained unmoved by any change in the weather: "Base Commander, your high regard for Qingdai shows that she is indeed exceptionally capable. In that case, let her try out the position of squad leader!"

Li Weidong looked at Qingdai with a hint of regret in his eyes, and said with a forced smile, "You mustn't let the base leader down!"

Fang Qingdai met his eyes directly, a smug smile slowly spreading across her lips: "Don't worry~ I'm not even worse than Lu Rui!"

Lu Rui's face on the ground turned from black to red, then red to white, as colorful as a palette.

But he didn't dare to interrupt Li Weidong's conversation with the base commander. He could only grit his teeth and listen, letting Fang Qingdai transform into a squad leader who was on equal footing with him!

With his plan falling through, Li Weidong had no desire to stay any longer. He merely glanced at Lu Rui, then greeted the base commander and left.

Halfway up his hand, Xiao Mao, who was about to say goodbye to his father, didn't even get a glance from Li Weidong and could only lower his hand dejectedly.

The base commander looked at Qingdai and smiled heartily: "Qingdai, right? Welcome to the Xuanwu Base. I hope you can stay true to your original aspirations and do your best for the development of the base!"

Fang Qingluan chuckled, wanting to say that the Xuanwu base was already almost completely rotten, so what was the point of developing it?

But when she met the base commander's earnest and serious gaze, Fang Qingdai's smile vanished instantly.

"Excuse me, are you also a soldier?"

Fang Qingdai found the base commander's actions and demeanor very familiar, including the four guards around him, whose every move exuded an aura that ordinary people could not possess.

If the base commander were also a soldier, Fang Qingdai would understand the source of his sincerity.

The people in that team always put the interests of the people first. They genuinely hoped that the Xuanwu Base would prosper and become strong and wealthy, so that they could protect more people.

Unfortunately, the current military is not as powerful as it was in Fang Qingdai's time. Even as the person in charge of a base, there are still many concerns.

"Oh? You know other soldiers? There aren't many regular soldiers who have taken the oath of joining the Party these days!"

"It's estimated that 80% of the public doesn't even know that such a team exists!"

The base commander sighed, and Fang Qingdai noticed the sorrow in his eyes.

"I... I've heard my parents mention soldiers before, and I deeply admire and respect those predecessors who built a safety barrier with their blood and flesh for the continuation of humanity!"

The base commander was very busy and only had a brief chat with Fang Qingdai, during which he gave her a few words of advice, telling her to stay true to her original aspirations and to work hard.

Before leaving, the base chief called Lu Hai over and said, "You guys need to get Xiao Qing's superpower certification done as soon as possible. Make sure you've provided all the follow-up instructions. I want to see Xiao Qing on the job as soon as possible. This kind of talent should shine as soon as possible!"

Lu Hai readily agreed. After seeing the base commander off, he looked at Fang Qingdai with satisfaction: "You're a capable child!"

"Let's go, after I register your wristband, I'll personally take you to choose a house!"
