Chapter 545 Captain Yun Zhao

A commotion arose from all around.

All S-class units combined?

In the event of an accident, no base could afford such consequences.

We hope the base will be the first to object.

"Xia Ming'ang has only recently awakened and has zero practical experience. Sending him to a five-star dangerous contaminated zone is no different from sending him to his death."

Xie Tu spoke up at this moment: "Xia Mingang can stay behind to provide support."

The one with the most flamboyant profile picture immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Although he lacked practical experience, he received professional training from a young age and was quite good at both theoretical knowledge and marksmanship.

And his Bixi (a mythical creature) is very strong, okay!

It was rare for Bixi to unite with him.

[Being in logistics? Why should I be held back by you?]

Minister Tang of the Dawn Base pondered for a moment, just about to speak, when Jiang Mu's voice came through the microphone.

"Interesting, I'll join."

Minister Tang was so angry that he almost cursed on the spot.

They're a nuisance who do nothing productive all day and only cause trouble at crucial moments.

Minister Bai witnessed the entire process and said gently, "It seems we still need to ask the parties involved for their opinions."

Fu Yu: "I agree too."

“Okay.” Yun Zhao had no further objections.

Xie Tu: "I second that."

Xia Mingang: "I'm going too, I won't be in logistics!"

Everyone agreed.

The leaders were so angry they couldn't speak, but they didn't want to embarrass the group in front of so many people.

Especially the base manager, Xia.

His own grandson has not yet established any authority within the base, and making him lose face in public would only make him a laughing stock.

"It's a bit too early to talk about this now. Perhaps we should discuss it later?"

A leader from the Dawn Base stepped in to smooth things over.

"Yes, let's see the voting results first before talking about anything else."

No one else had any objections.

The clerk quickly posted the voting results.

Of the 75 votes cast, only 19 were in favor of canceling the "Salvation Plan," while the rest were against it.

No one present seemed surprised by this result.

Six years of hard work, countless lives lost as a result, how can we give up so easily?

No matter the cost, this disaster must be ended.

"We don't want to cancel the salvation plan, but we can't just keep destroying contaminated areas and accelerating the pollution..."

The head of the Dawn Base adjusted his glasses. "Then we have no choice but to do as Minister Duan said, take a risky approach, and venture into the high-risk area to find the source."

According to the original plan, humans should wait at least another three to five years before venturing into the five-star danger zone.

However, the appearance of the S-level guide accelerated the entire process.

She managed to escape unscathed from several high-risk, five-star contaminated zones, and even eliminated the highly dangerous Zone 344 this year.

This boosted everyone's confidence.

If we disregard the consequences and directly send out an S-class joint team, we might actually succeed.

These words silenced everyone.

At this moment, Minister Han finally reached a place with a signal and logged into the online system.

Minister Bai sighed upon seeing this.

Old Han arrived a step too late.

The three of them decided last night to voice their objections, prompting the special guide to leave the base again.

The ancestral teachings clearly state that only a special guide knows how to end a disaster.

However, Yun Zhao's physical condition is too weak. If we release her, we need sufficient military force to support her in finding the source. The best solution is to form a joint team.

Before they could do anything, Minister Duan guessed their intentions.

Minister Duan picked up the teacup on the table, his composure unwavering: "If none of you have any objections, the joint team will be established for now. However, to avoid a repeat of the last instance where everyone acted independently, a team leader must be selected. As for the team leader's position..."

Jiang Mu interrupted casually: "Minister Duan, don't favor your own people. I won't agree to Xie Tu being the team leader."

Why should Xie Tu command them, since they are both S-class?

Fu Yu: "I disagree as well."

Xia Mingang had no say at all; it wasn't his turn to be the captain anyway.

Xie Tu remained calm throughout, as if he wasn't the one being talked about.

Discussions arose from all sides.

Indeed, apart from Xia Mingang, the other three S-class Sentinels are evenly matched.

The captain of the joint squad is essentially at the top of the four bases, wielding considerable influence, and it seems everyone has their own opinion on who should be chosen.

"Since neither of you is willing to submit to the other..."

Minister Duan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Then, Guide Yun will serve as the team leader."

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The guide is the team leader?

During dark times, guides would also go to the front lines, but only as support personnel assisting the sentinels and stabilizing their mental state.

Because the guide's physical limits cannot sustain command for extended periods.

The last guide captain to appear was more than a hundred years ago.

Red-crowned crane – Shen Ying.

Immediately, everyone's attention was focused on Yun Zhao, who was sitting in the corner.

Yun Zhao was equally astonished upon hearing Minister Duan's words. "Me?"

Captain? Did she hear that right?

“You are the most suitable,” Minister Duan said.

She is the best candidate.

Otherwise, there would be opposition to whoever becomes the team leader.

It must be said that Minister Duan is very clever.

At first, everyone thought it was outrageous, but upon closer inspection, there was no better solution.

really.

Upon hearing that Yun Zhao would be the team leader, Jiang Mu and Fu Mo immediately fell silent, and no more sound came from the microphone.

A smile appeared in Xie Tu's eyes. "I have no objection."

As for Xia Mingang, most people agreed that his ideas were no longer important.

Base Chief Shen stood up and stretched, then said with a smile, "That's settled then. Let's discuss the follow-up arrangements..."

*

The meeting lasted a long time.

Simply forming a joint team is not enough to address the issue of rising dark matter.

The collaboration and challenges in subsequent operational deployments, testing and research, resource allocation, and defense deployment all require the four bases to sit down and discuss them in detail.

It was noon when we came out of the meeting room.

After getting into the car, Yun Zhao finally couldn't help but ask Xie Tu, "Am I suitable to be the captain?"

She has very poor physical strength.

In the next battle, as the team leader, she could only stay at the rear, and her ability to predict the battle situation might not be very good.

Moreover, she had never been a team leader before, yet she was appointed as the leader of the 5S team right from the start.

Jiang Mu and Fu Heng are both used to being team leaders, and Yun Zhao is not sure if he can command them if there are disagreements among them.

Xie Tu laughed and said, "It's alright. If they don't listen, don't you still have a trump card?"

A trump card?

Price increase?

Yun Zhao hesitated, "Can I charge for counseling my own team members?"

She provided counseling to the members of Team Zero free of charge.

Now that all the suckers have become her team members, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to charge them more?

Xie Tu remained unfazed. "So what if they charge? Even close brothers keep clear accounts. They don't need those points."

Yun Zhao thought for a long time and shook his head: "No, I'm the captain now, I can't bully them."

Xie Tu laughed out loud, "Okay, Captain Yun."

He then offered another suggestion: "If they don't listen, you can summon the little bluebird to scold them."

Yun Zhao: "..."

The little bluebird gets impatient with boring meetings and always returns to the realm of the mind to play during meetings.

The little bluebird felt it was only natural that its original self had become an official.

It is the most powerful spiritual entity!

From now on, I will be in charge of the Fire Phoenix, the White Jade Beast, the Water Qilin, and the Bixi, and I can make them do whatever I want!

It's the boss!
