In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 28 My Boss is Lü Jinshan

Lin Zhiyan stared at the helicopter overhead, and for a moment she felt as if she had returned to the lecture hall in the capital, witnessing the legend of the Department of Mental Health for the first time.

That year, he took to the stage with a level of telekinetic control that no one could comprehend.

Now, he has reached a higher level of mental development.

As someone of the same kind, Lin Zhiyan could clearly see a spiritual force carrying a bullet hitting the Green Bandit.

The special operations team members were the most astonished.

Everything happened too fast for them to observe, but one fact was certain: the most dangerous superhuman was shot dead by a sniper in the helicopter.

The green bandits ran as soon as they saw the helicopter. Their supernatural abilities were still working during their escape, but suddenly stopped working after a gunshot. They were then shot dead.

The whole thing lasted only two minutes, with no confrontation in between.

"it is good!"

Only Zhang Like paused for a moment, then shouted through the channel with a flushed face: "Hahahaha, this kind of mission really needs you, Lao Lu! If you had been here from the beginning, so many people wouldn't have died."

Counterterrorism operations are most vulnerable to urban warfare. Even a special operations team with an average health of 20 can suffer casualties in the complex terrain of urban combat. The power of modern firearms is far beyond what their few dozen health points can withstand.

Those with a score of 50 or higher in the superhuman category cannot all be used for counter-terrorism, nor would they appear in remote and impoverished areas like the South China Sea West Road.

This is the Achilles' heel of counterinsurgency operations.

Lu Zhao is a special case, and logically speaking, he shouldn't be staying at Ant Ridge either.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The special operations team's faces immediately darkened when they heard Zhang Like shout that on the channel.

11:05
After the battle ended, the fire department and local police entered the battlefield and skillfully cleaned up the mess.

The helicopter slowly landed on the open ground.

As soon as Lu Zhao stepped off the plane, he immediately felt countless eyes on him from all directions.

Zhang Like immediately came forward and said, "If you hadn't come, we would have really been done for today."

He then lowered his voice and said, "Six of the special agents have died, and they're furious. When you speak later, remember to shift the blame to Lü Jinshan."

Following the other person's gaze, Lu Zhao saw the limping special counter-terrorism team.

The elite armed police officers looked extremely disheveled, all bearing injuries, with only a few still able to move freely. Even without Zhang Like's prompting, their resentment was already written all over their faces.

A man with the rank of major walked over.

At this moment, surrounded by his assistant and several special task force members, Lin Zhiyan took the lead in standing between Lu Zhao and the special counter-espionage company commander.

"You deserve the credit for quickly eliminating the ringleader and stabilizing the situation in this operation. I will report this to the county government to claim credit for you."

Lin Zhiyan's delicate features were still slightly disheveled, but the gratitude in her tone was undeniable.

Although he was a bit arrogant, he was at least fair.

Lu Zhao's opinion of her changed slightly, and he raised his hand in salute, saying, "Thank you, sir."

Lin Zhiyan then asked, "Your abilities are excellent. It's a waste for you to stay at the border station. Would you like to join the special task force to assist in the investigation?"

Lu Zhao looked thoughtful, while Zhang Like winked and gestured, eager to agree on his behalf immediately.

If they had been able to join the special task force, they would have been able to escape Lü Jinshan's influence, and this situation would never have occurred.

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "I still have a position to hold, so I cannot hold multiple positions at the moment."

The flood season is just two weeks away, and the flash floods will bring in the monsters from the Miye, Sanjiang, and Meihe rivers.

There are only about a hundred each year, and half of them are aquatic.

The western part of the South China Sea is characterized by eight parts mountains, one part water, and one part farmland. Agriculture relies heavily on waterways, and if any fish escapes the net, people will inevitably die.

Joining the task force would be great, but as long as I'm still in my position, my primary responsibility should take precedence. Rejected again, Lin Zhiyan frowned slightly.

But unlike the last time when things ended badly, the outstanding will naturally be treated well, and Lu Zhao just happened to demonstrate his irreplaceable abilities.

She compromised and said, "What if it's just a temporary position as a staff officer?"

Lu Zhao replied, "I will obey the organization's arrangements."

This answer wasn't exactly a refusal, but it wasn't a yes either.

Zhang Like and the task force assistant breathed a sigh of relief.

The former was glad that Lu Zhao wasn't his own father; he was just stubborn in some ways, but usually knew how to assess the situation.

The latter was surprised by the young lady's unusually high tolerance for Lu Zhao.

If it were someone else, the response would basically be, "If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will."

This isn't an overbearing statement; with the resources the Lin family can mobilize, they could easily find high-level superhumans.

However, this would be a stain on Miss Lin's resume, affecting her future entry into the Nankaido political arena. Under the current federal system, while one's background can certainly lead to rapid advancement, it is limited to those below the rank of Martial Marquis.

If you want to get into the core decision-making level, your resume must be spotless.

For example, assigning it to extraordinary individuals who are above their level.

Such things are usually not investigated or managed, but if you're fighting against an equal power, they can easily become weaknesses.

If someone falls from grace due to issues with their conduct and discipline, it's because someone wants them to fall.

"Cough cough cough."

The special operations company commander, who had been standing to the side, coughed lightly, then stepped forward and said with a gloomy face, "Team Leader Lin, we need an explanation."

He didn't lash out at Lu Zhao, which was his intention, but upon seeing the other's military rank, he shifted his focus.

A lieutenant has no decision-making power, so he should not be held responsible.

Lin Zhiyan raised his chin slightly but had not yet spoken.

Before she could get angry, the assistant quickly interjected, explaining, "Company Commander Xu, we applied to deploy Platoon Leader Lu before the mission began, but the border station didn't approve it."

Why didn't it pass?

This is what Xu Zhenhua wanted to ask. He pointed at Lu Zhao and said, "If he had been there from the beginning, would so many of us have died? I lost six soldiers, half of my platoon!"

If Lu Zhao hadn't shown up, they would have suffered heavy losses, and Xu Zhenhua probably wouldn't have held a grudge. They were completely outmaneuvered by the Green Bandits; their mission failed due to insufficient manpower.

But Lu Zhao's appearance caused the resentment of the special operations team to explode, and they suspected that the Ant Ridge border station was doing it on purpose.

If someone is this good, why didn't you call them over sooner?

If it weren't for the strict federal system, the special operations team, which had just lost many of its members, would have already started beating people.

Just as the conflict was about to escalate, the task force assistant was still organizing his thoughts when Lu Zhaoyi said in a serious tone, "The dispatching procedures are completely compliant."

He took a half step forward and blocked Lin Zhiyan's path, which surprised the latter.

"Border troop movements require the station chief's approval. The leadership believed that the regular police force was sufficient, so they did not agree."

"Sir, please don't be unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted in various ways.

Zhang Like initially thought Lu Zhao had finally figured things out and was now playing the hero, but then he realized there was another ulterior motive.

Xu Zhenhua was even more furious and asked, "Which leader?"

“Lu Jinshan, station chief of Ant Ridge Border Station.”
