Seeing Wu Huan's mouth agape in surprise, Wang Zheng smiled knowingly.
"Your captain, I do have some influence in Jiangnan, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find your home. You could even call me 'sir' without feeling it's too much of a stretch. Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans for this afternoon? Are you going home or going on another mission?"
Wu Huan shook his head.
"I'm not going back. I just heard you were here, Captain, so I took a short leave to come back for lunch. I still have to go to the beach this afternoon to deal with the alien beasts."
Upon hearing about clearing out the alien beasts, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"That's perfect. Take me for a walk. I heard that strange beasts have been coming out of the sea intermittently over the past six months. I wanted to go see them when I first arrived at the harbor, but unfortunately, it's under flight restrictions."
"While we're at it, let's go see what this sea monster is all about, daring to be so arrogant!"
Although Wang Zheng's idea was spur-of-the-moment, he spoke with conviction and a serious expression.
Although he is currently severely lacking in spiritual energy, Young Master Wang does not admit that he is only doing this to earn some extra money by killing exotic beasts.
After all, the upper limit he lacks is astronomical, so what's the big deal about killing more low-level alien beasts?
Besides, Wang Shao is a major in the Jingnan Military Region. It's only natural and logical for him to lighten the burden on the border defense of the military region.
Such a level of ideological awareness... well, it really highlights a noble quality!
Whether or not Wu Huan believed Wang Zheng's nonsense, he certainly did.
However, she was still somewhat conflicted, and after hesitating for a while, she finally said:
"I'm not worried about your abilities, Captain, it's just that the military region is currently under lockdown, and ordinary people aren't allowed in."
This isn't targeting you specifically. Over the past six months, many adventurers have come to hunt these strange beasts, only to die at the hands of the sea creatures. For the safety of the general public, we've closed it off."
At this point, Wang Zheng became somewhat curious.
"What's so magical about these so-called sea monsters? They've come ashore and they're still this powerful. Surely those who dare to hunt these monsters aren't all naive newbies? And yet several batches of them still died. These monsters must be incredibly strong!"
"Their strength is just so-so, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to get involved. It's just that there are too many of them, and they can't be cleaned up at all."
Often, we'd just killed one on the shore when three or four more would come ashore from the sea; it was impossible to kill them all.
Hearing that the sea beasts seemed endless, Wang Zheng became even more excited, and asked curiously:
"Why didn't a grandmaster come and solve this once and for all? Cleaning it up slowly like this would take forever. Since they're not strong enough, why don't they just send an elemental grandmaster and bombard them with attacks? They could finish it off in less than half a day, right?"
Wu Huan shook his head.
"I don't know about that. I heard it's some kind of climate change outside the sea area. It's useless to solve the problem at its source. I don't know the specific details either."
Moreover, most of these sea creatures carry biological toxins, making them very troublesome to deal with. If you're still interested in going, how about I contact my team leader to ask?"
Wang Zheng felt helpless when he saw that the man hadn't taken his words to heart.
"Do I look like an ordinary person? Forget it, just ask. Just say that Major Wang Zheng is coming to inspect our work. Tell your team leader to get ready. She'll definitely let me go, so don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Wu Huan, still somewhat skeptical, went to the side to make a phone call to report. Wang Zheng, at that moment, also felt that the world was truly a small place.
He already knew from the information provided by Dang Liantao that the team leader Wu Huan mentioned was an old acquaintance who had been seconded to the port from the Jingnan Military Region, Yu Shaoting, a water-type awakened individual who had previously gone on a mission with Wang Zheng.
It was because she saw Wu Huan's considerable strength and remarkable resilience during the mission that she took a liking to her talent and brought her under the command of the military region ahead of schedule.
However, considering her special family circumstances and the fact that she was still in school, she was only temporarily enlisted in the army and her student status was retained. Unlike Wang Zheng, she was not permanently enlisted in the army.
Yu Shaoting planned to let her train for a while first, and then help her enlist in the army when she was a junior in college and started her internship. After that, she could naturally take over her job.
Right now, it's barely considered a trial period.
However, for a natural awakener like Wu Huan, who is also a top student at the Awakener Academy, even if he is not a military academy-related major, it is not a big problem to make an exception and recruit him through a special admission with a non-commissioned officer quota.
Not to mention she is also exceptionally talented and capable.
As one of the three top executives of their special operations team, Yu Shaoting certainly had this much power.
It was precisely because they were old acquaintances that Wang Zheng dared to speak so brazenly and presumptuously, saying that he was there to inspect the work. If it were someone he didn't know, he wouldn't have been so arrogant.
In terms of relationships, Wu Huan is now a soldier in the Jingnan Military Region, while Wang Zheng is now the young man's superior and direct supervisor.
Moreover, if it weren't for this connection, Dang Liantao wouldn't have been able to find Wu Huan's information so quickly.
By this time, Wang Zheng also learned that Captain Yu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, had been staying in the harbor for almost a year, probably because of this damned sea monster invasion...
Without keeping Major Wang waiting any longer, Wu Huan ran over excitedly.
Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Zheng's name, his team leader agreed without any hesitation.
Without further ado, Wu Huan led Wang Zheng straight to their temporary base.
As Wu Huan had said, the coastline was heavily blocked off, and soldiers from the military region were constantly patrolling the shore.
It seems that quite a few people who lacked a sense of their own strength and were blinded by greed have indeed passed away here. In order to avoid causing chaos, the beach has been completely sealed off.
Once Wang Zheng entered the entire military planning area, Wu Huan pointed to the camp closest to the sea in the northeast corner and introduced it to him.
The two walked and talked, and before they even got close, they saw a beautiful figure already standing at the gate to greet them.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Yu Shaoting, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.
Old friends gathered and were very happy. Wang Zheng was about to go up and greet them warmly when he saw Yu Shaoting turn a stern face and glare at him.
"Wang Zheng, you're really something now that you've won the championship. You even have to come and inspect my work?"
It seems my former Sister Yu is too incompetent; you probably wouldn't even consider her.
Brother Dang said before that you might come here, and that I could ask you for help if I had any problems. Now it seems I can't ask you, Major Wang, for help now.
As soon as she finished speaking, seeing Wang Zheng staring wide-eyed and mouth agape, looking just like a frog, Yu Shaoting couldn't help but laugh herself.
Then she stepped forward and gently hugged him, whispering in his ear:
"We've all seen your performance in the capital, and knowing that you're a member of our Jingnan Military Region has greatly boosted the morale of our comrades. You did a fantastic job!"
