Chapter 10 – The Military

Volume 3: Rising Winds and Clouds

"I am Sequence 2!"

As he uttered those five words, Wen Yu was no longer a lonely wanderer, nor was he the Cannon Fodder who had struggled endlessly for survival in his past life. He was a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Human Race!

Seeing the blank, confused expression on the face of the Woman in Military Uniform on the screen, Wen Yu sighed.

A concept like Sequence was far too high-level for an office-bound communicator!

"You might not understand what this title means. You can go find your superior. If your superior doesn't know, tell them to find their superior! Someone eventually will know!"

The Woman in Military Uniform looked first at Wang Zhigang standing behind Wen Yu, then at the hesitant Mudanjiang City communicator standing to the side. After a long moment, she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but this does not comply with regulations! Please have the head of your communications team come speak with me!"

This was the so-called "by-the-book" attitude. From this, one could see that even large organizations had their drawbacks!

"I killed him."

Wen Yu's calm voice was the response the Woman in Military Uniform received.

"I don't belong to your Military. Strictly speaking, I'm a lone wolf. I established this connection to discuss certain matters with the Military, but these aren't things you can discuss with me. Go find your superior."

"If you still don't understand, let me put it this way: I am very strong-Level 4! Furthermore, I currently hold the lives of all the Survivors in the Mudanjiang Central City in my hands. You can treat me as a kidnapper; I am currently negotiating terms with you. Do you understand now?"

Then, out of the camera's view, Wen Yu gave Wang Zhigang a few kicks.

Wang Zhigang was actually feeling a bit hesitant. For him, Wen Yu's words had a silver lining!

At the very least, by saying that, Wen Yu had immediately extricated Wang Zhigang from any responsibility regarding the death of the Military Uniform Man.

In truth, Wang Zhigang didn't even need to react. The moment the communicator on the other side of the screen heard the words "Level 4," she jolted visibly.

Wen Yu didn't know how high the levels of the Military's top powerhouses were, but the Woman in Military Uniform did!

The only Level 4 powerhouse the Military currently had on the books was the War God himself.

Even among the Military's Super Soldiers, not a single one had reached Level 4!

Therefore, the moment the words "Level 4" left Wen Yu's mouth, all issues regarding rules and regulations ceased to be issues!

"Please wait a moment!"

After speaking those four simple words, the Woman in Military Uniform scrambled up from her seat and ran toward her superior's office in a slight panic!

When the Woman in Military Uniform relayed Wen Yu's words to her superior, the pathetic reality was that this minor leader didn't know what Sequence 2 represented either.

However, he absolutely understood what Level 4 meant.

He immediately dialed his own superior's number.

And so, the news that Sequence 2 had initiated a communication request was passed up the chain, layer by layer.

It continued until it reached the hands of a certain individual!

Inside a luxurious conference room, a meeting of the Military's internal super-powerhouses was underway.

A massive projector nearby clearly marked the Military's offensive routes for reclaiming lost territory, featuring several large black dots.

These were the locations of powerful Mutant Creatures known to the Military.

At the same time, they were the mission objectives for the people attending the meeting.

"On the route leading to Nanjing, a Peak Level 3 Mutant Beast has been discovered. Its species is a pig…"

"Goddammit, even the pigs aren't behaving themselves these days!"

A man in a military uniform, holding an electronic pen, cursed under his breath as he reported the intelligence.

Judging by his loose, non-standard way of wearing the uniform, it was clear that he wasn't exactly a career soldier. Rather, he was one of the powerhouses recruited into the Military after the Apocalypse.

Only after he finished venting did he realize something was wrong.

The person presiding over today's meeting wasn't a fellow Military powerhouse of his own rank, but Lord War God himself!

The Military's strongest-the War God!

"Uh, haha…"

The man scratched his head awkwardly, stealing a glance at the young man sitting in the head seat.

He looked to be in his twenties, perhaps not yet thirty. For a Class Holder, the immense power they possessed brought a significant boost to physical vitality; looking younger was a simple matter.

A military jacket was draped casually over his shoulders, worn over a set of very simple leisure clothes.

Hearing the Military Uniform Man's slightly disrespectful outburst, the War God curled his right index finger slightly and tapped the table in front of him.

Knock, knock, knock…

After a series of crisp raps, the War God's magnetic voice slowly rang out.

"Relax. It's a good thing to have your own style. Besides, now that you are Military Super Soldier No. 7, there's no need to be so formal with me. I'll be your Captain from now on. I don't want my teammates to act as stiff as they do in that tomb they call the Military Headquarters when they're facing me."

Hearing the War God's words, No. 7 finally breathed a sigh of relief. He continued explaining the situation on the map.

However, the rest of his briefing was much more "official."

"At this location, the Level 4 Mutant Beast we observed last time has been confirmed dead."

No. 7 pointed to a large black dot located near the Modu1 Settlement.

"According to reliable intelligence, it was the work of Sequence No. 5. The person in charge of the Modu Settlement claims that Sequence No. 5 is currently heavily injured and is recovering within the settlement. Modu is now requesting a large amount of manpower and weapon support! More importantly, they are asking for reinforcements from the Military's powerhouses, claiming that the Mutant Beasts in the ocean have been restless lately!"

"Bullshit!"

As soon as No. 7 finished, a Class Holder sitting to the War God's left cursed in disdain.

"Heavily injured? What a load of crap. What kind of injury can't be fixed by a Healing Potion? They're clearly just shaking us down for supplies. Does that old thief Peng Jun really think we don't dare to wipe them out?"

The tapping sound on the table grew more rapid. After a long moment, the War God shook his head.

"Allocate some of the new Strong Healing potions developed by the Department of Science and Technology to them. Send a shipment of heavy weapons to the Modu Settlement as well. Then tell them that Yanjing is also short on powerhouses!"

"No. 10, you take a trip there. While you're at it, have a word with Peng Jun. Remind him to be careful-Sequence No. 5 is the only bargaining chip he has!"

"Understood."

A middle-aged soldier sitting at the end of the table nodded to the War God.

"Also, Lord War God, we just received the latest news. The team escorting Professor Bai was hijacked in CD…"

No. 7's lips trembled for a moment before he finally forced out the rest of the sentence.

"It seems… Fang Bai did it again!"
