Chapter 546 You're hiding something
The four bases did not disclose the content of this meeting.
People would think that the need for several S-class destroyers to be deployed together indicates a serious situation, and prematurely disclosing the situation would only cause panic.
—After all, we haven't reached that point yet.
However, those inside the organization heard some rumors about the outcome of the meeting.
Team Zero has moved to the indoor training ground today.
Jiang Mu and Xia Mingang were both present and participated in the entire online meeting, so everyone received the news immediately.
"Yun Zhao became the captain?" Tao Haohao shouted in his loud voice, and everyone looked over.
Zhou Tianqi looked at Jiang Mu in shock, "The captain actually agreed?"
Jiang Mu leaned against the window, his posture languid: "Why wouldn't I agree to free counseling for children from now on?"
How many points will be saved?
Wang Jiayu was very happy. "That's great! With Sister Yun Zhao as the team leader, everyone will definitely not quarrel, and it won't be like the last joint mission where everyone went in and did their own thing."
Duan Xi agreed and said with relief, "Finally, I can have a long vacation."
"uncertain."
Song Liangdao said, "The minister is very likely to ask us to enter the Samsung contaminated area to find resources and gatekeepers."
As originally planned.
The four bases need to find enough supplies in the contaminated area to cope with the predicament of insufficient resources.
If the 5S team does find the source, local operations departments will have to speed things up and try to clear out as many contaminated areas as possible.
Upon hearing this, cries of agony erupted from the crowd.
"Holy crap! We still have to carry out the mission without a captain and guide???" Duan Xi asked in disbelief.
Tao Haohao cried out, "I can accept the captain not being here, but I can't accept Yun Zhao not being here!"
Being separated from Yun Zhao means that he can no longer use his abilities freely in the contaminated area and has to return to the old combat mode.
That would be so frustrating.
He didn't want to rely on inhibitors to complete tasks all day.
Wang Jiayu suddenly remembered something, "What about Qi Ling? Sister Yun Zhao isn't here, he might be controlled by the gatekeeper."
Qi Ling was not at the training ground today; she went to the Institute of Biological Sciences with Professor Qi.
They probably don't know this news yet.
Duan Xi shrugged. "I don't know. Let's see if the research institute can find a solution."
Not far away.
Xia Mingang lay lazily on the training mat, his long legs casually crossed, a book he had found somewhere lying crookedly over his face, rising and falling with his exaggerated breathing.
The communicator on my wrist kept vibrating.
Xia Mingang sighed and sat up. He glanced at the group of people chatting animatedly, then got up and went to the hallway to answer the phone.
"This young master is really something, starting his mission right with a five-star level contaminated zone..."

Yun Zhao did not go to the training ground.
After she went home and had dinner, Xie Tu drove her to the inner city traffic control center.
Yun Zhao quickly calmed down about being the team leader.
Just as Minister Duan said.
Everyone had objections to whoever was the captain among the other S-class Sentinels; only she was the most suitable.
The next task has not yet been decided, so she simply went about her own business first.
Yuan Lan and Qin Zhiyi are both in the inner city today. This afternoon, they have a training session on mental barriers.
Yun Zhao had already checked the base's database in advance; the guide's mental training system was far more rigorous than outsiders imagined.
This is especially true for guides who lack combat awareness.
Improving mental strength and resistance to interference may not show significant results in the short term.
Yuan Lan is doing a little better.
She is a healing guide who has been practicing medicine for a long time and has experience dealing with sudden situations such as sentinel rampages.
Qin Zhiyi, however, was a complete blank slate.
She had only been at the base for a short time and didn't know much about the relationship between the contaminated area and the sentinel, nor was she very familiar with the construction of basic barriers.
Not to mention maintaining multi-threaded barriers.
Yun Zhao didn't quite understand why she applied to join the Operations Department.
Since they're not very familiar with each other yet, she shouldn't ask too many questions.
In a real battlefield, you can't just protect yourself.
Yun Zhao pondered that Qin Zhiyi should choose a sentry team with a high compatibility.
There were attentive sentries in the group who could take care of her.
Yun Zhao was lost in thought when he waved to Xie Tu, "I'm going to get busy." Then he got out of the car carrying a pile of documents.
Xie Tu watched her enter the relief room before driving away.
The afternoon sun was scorching.
The central square was empty and quiet. Xie Tu drove by and glanced out the window.
The statue of the girl in white robes has a serene expression, gazing upwards into the distance.
Beside her, a red-crowned crane, poised to take flight, moved gracefully, its red crest as dazzling as a flame.
Sunlight streamed obliquely from behind the statue, casting long, thin shadows across the square.
Xie Tu averted his gaze.
The scenery outside the window rushed past, and soon the car was gone from the square.
Ever since learning about the Red-crowned Crane team's deeds, he has made a point of avoiding the central square whenever he drives Yun Zhao to the inner city.
I didn't want to inadvertently stir up Yun Zhao's thoughts when I passed by.
The fate of the red-crowned crane team was truly terrible.
The car was parked downstairs in the operations department building.
Xie Tu entered the elevator and arrived at the underground command center.
The elevator doors slid open silently, the cold, mechanical hum instantly swallowed up by the heavy atmosphere in the command center.
Staff members sat in front of computers, the screens in front of them constantly refreshing data from various contaminated areas, the sound of keyboards clicking incessantly.
Xie Tu's military boots slammed on the metal floor. He glanced at the busy crowd, turned left into the dark corridor, and arrived at the door of an office.
"Come in."
Minister Duan sat alone in the room, seemingly knowing he would come and not at all surprised to see him.
"You want to talk about the joint squad?"
Xie Tu nodded and sat down opposite Minister Duan. "I've come to get the information about the first joint mission."
Minister Duan looked up at him and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Xie Tu's brow twitched slightly: "What does the minister mean?"
Minister Duan opened the drawer on his right, took out several reports and placed them in front of him. “I have carefully read every one of the dozens of mission reports submitted by the Operations Department every year. I have a very good understanding of the combat style of each team. I can tell at a glance if there are any problems in some of the reports.”
The three reports on the table were numbered 249, 111, and 320.
"You're hiding something," Minister Duan said with certainty.
Xie Tu remained calm. "Report No. 249 is from last year. Since the minister has discovered a problem, why doesn't he directly ask Song Liang?"
Minister Duan said irritably, "What's the use of asking? Song Liang is just a logistics team member, and he still acts according to your orders."
She didn't ask too many questions because she understood the character of her subordinates.
Xie Tu is steady and won't act recklessly.
If there's something he's hiding, it's because he assessed it himself and decided it wasn't the right time to report it.
Previously, the base commander had revealed some information to her, implying that the operations department had entered a state of combat readiness.
Based on subtle clues, Minister Duan realized that the matter might involve the red-crowned crane, and... Yun Zhao.
Now that dark matter is rising and a united team has been formed, the safety of all humanity is at stake.
She had to find out.
