My wife is the stand-in.

Li Junzi continued in his trance: "Eek! Great! Jiajia and I are married!"

His hands even started swinging uncontrollably.

The hysteria worsened further.

After listening to Zeng Aman's words, everyone looked at Amanosaki.

"Great hero, you have the strongest grip in the expedition team, please do your best!"

Seeing that Li Junzi was gradually losing control, Amanosaki and Hinata exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, told everyone to stay away while they assumed a horse stance and held their breath.

"Enhanced Magic Activation"

"Skin structure remodeling".

"Strengthening of reflex nerves."

"Muscle strengthening."

"Bone hyperdensity".

As the magic patterns penetrated deeper into the bones from the skin, Amanosaki's entire arm became especially heavy.

He took a deep breath and struck with a furious roar!

"You damned beast! What have you done?!"

Li Junzi was sent flying backward, breaking a support leg of the military camp, tearing apart a sturdy military tent, skipping more than twenty stones in ankle-deep water, and crashing headfirst into the nearby mess hall!

"Oh shit!"

Cao Yuanhang's shocked scream echoed throughout the military camp.

Chapter 220: The Big Plan!

The heroes sat around a huge low table made of dozens of ammunition boxes, each with a few bottles of wine on it.

This kind of incessant, awful weather makes you want to have a drink even with a heater on.

The sun has a vital impact on human health and well-being. According to Amanosaki, there is a significant difference in mindset between people living in Northern Europe where it is dark for most of the year and people living in temperate or equatorial regions.

The most striking example is the extreme indifference in daily relationships between people.

But delving deeper reveals that rock culture is prevalent in Scandinavia, and in the past, Scandinavia was also known for its passionate pirates.

This is probably because everyone's usual passion is overshadowed by the gloomy weather and the endless white snow. It is the reason why seemingly contradictory elements such as indifference and intensity, which are difficult to coexist in normal people, can coexist in Scandinavians.

Nowadays, even the heroes have taken up their wine cups.

Amanosaki stood next to Li Junzi, who was covering half of his face, which was so swollen that he could barely see, and used a broken wooden stick to gesture on the projected electronic map.

He is currently in a state of enlightenment, full of energy and with a clear mind.

He was introducing everyone's tasks for the next step.

The investigation team's test on Amanosaki lasted only about twenty minutes. Because the battle at the Hongdu branch was urgent, all available resources had to be utilized, so the number of ordinary people was relatively insignificant.

After Amanosaki removed his beard and announced that he would need to stay in bed for a long time and step down from the front line, Cao Yuanhang confirmed that he was mentally sound and had not fallen into depravity. He then arranged for the fastest possible testing, conducting multiple physical fitness tests at the same time and re-entering his data.

Next came the mission guide released by the capital city.

"We need to cooperate with the Third Army Group of the C-class, including the infantry units."

Amanosaki's announcement caused an uproar among the martial arts enthusiasts.

"What's the point of cooperating with these people!"

"They are our defeated opponents!"

"We heroes are all the ones who need to deal with the King Fish. Mortals should just stick to dealing with the Four-Clawed Scaled Fish!"

Amanosaki gave a wink, and Li Junzi raised an arm, which transformed into a giant megaphone. A loud roar was heard, drowning out all the discontent.

He took out his phone and placed it on the ammunition box; the word "Top Secret" was printed in bright red on the phone's screen.

"I will only say what I am about to say once."

"Our subsequent mission is related to the previous incident at the Fengdu branch. It not only concerns the Yangtze River basin, but also the face of the nation."

He beckoned: "Come in!"

Cao Yuanhang, accompanied by a group of men in suits, entered the military tent and distributed confidentiality agreements to everyone. Amanosaki explained coldly:

"After several hours of preparation, the international press delegation led by the Chinese government has arrived in Hongdu Province and is now on standby at the military headquarters. The mission for today and the next three days is a special combat mission that is the first time that China has carried out a large-scale mixed operation between knights and the military. It is also the first large-scale mixed operation against evil forces in the entire world, except for the World War."

"At that time, not only will our country's journalists follow and produce a documentary, but journalists and generals from other countries will also come to follow and learn."

"Before we proceed with further explanation, everyone needs to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his words, Amanosaki paused for a few seconds and then added, "In fact, it's not just our expedition team; teams composed of heroes below the branch level drawn from all over the country have also arrived at the Hongdu branch... Yes, just like the Wudang branch. Even we ourselves will receive support from the heroes provided by our respective branches."

"We need to compete with all the chivalrous organizations, gentlemen. This is a great honor, and those who participate will be remembered in history."

Amanosaki's voice carried a hint of seduction: "Faced with such an important mission, our previous trespassing into the military camp can be treated as nothing happened. The army and the government will remain silent."

"Of course, you may refuse. If you do, we will have to ask you to leave the extermination team and return to your own branch to continue investigating a demon, asking the police to let you participate in supernatural crimes, wasting your time in endless official documents and applications, and then watching us move towards glory."

It was quiet, so quiet that the only sound could be the whistling of the wind and rain outside.

Amanosaki certainly bears the main responsibility for leading the charge into the military camp, but the other heroes in the expeditionary force are not innocent either.

Besides standing up for loyalty, people also have the mentality of taking advantage of their own weakness to make a scene and vent their dissatisfaction.

Although everyone was certain that Qunxia Mountain would stand up for them, they all knew they would be punished to some extent.

Today, Nozaki tells them that there is no punishment, but an opportunity.

One can completely shed the status of a lowly knight-errant, become a formal knight-errant, and even gain glory and the love of the masses, and even have the opportunity for superpowers to increase with reputation.

This is something no ambitious knight-errant who joins the expeditionary force can refuse.

After Amanosaki, Li Junzi, and Zeng Aman signed the pledge, all the heroes signed their names.

Cao Yuanhang's men quickly spread out maps on the ammunition boxes and distributed materials. Dense footsteps could be heard from the outside; the army had surrounded the area to prevent anyone from approaching.

Amanosaki adjusted his headset and turned the sound on speakerphone. Lin Shuyu's clear and crisp voice came through the channel:

"I am delighted that you have all signed the pledge and joined this great cause."

"In the time to come, I will continue to serve as the leader of the extermination team and advance with everyone until the extermination order is completed."

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business..."

-------------------------------------

After finally finishing explaining all the task details, Lin Shuyu took off her headphones and took a sip of rock sugar flower tea to soothe her throat.

She was utterly exhausted. Today, she was first kidnapped by Zheng Lun, then rescued and had a passionate encounter with Amanosaki, then met her third and fourth aunts and grandfather, and now she's been dragged back to the General Staff to organize the specific project planning for the punitive expedition.

All of this was unplanned.

Lin Shuyu hated all plans except for the time she spent with Amanosaki.

This includes the engagement that was forced upon him by his grandfather.

It was too hasty and rushed, leaving Lin Shuyu at a loss.

To make matters worse, Spielberg's signature ringtone has been ringing on my phone for dozens of times.

If it weren't for indulging myself with Amanosaki today, and if Amanosaki hadn't been there for me on the missions to come...

Lin Shuyu has probably already quit.

After replenishing her tea polyphenols, Lin Shuyu rubbed her temples, recalling the scene of Amanosaki embracing her. Her skin still faintly retained his body heat. A faint smile of longing appeared on her lips as she opened a stack of documents, looking at them while answering the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Spiegelberg? I was in a meeting and couldn't bring my phone. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Chapter 221: This is Revenge

Spiegelberg is very anxious.

Because something unexpected happened.

His drone filming team was blocked.

After the heroes defeated the elite infantry and drove into the military camp, the drone refused to go any further.

As soon as you approach the military camp, the camera will display "No-fly zone for drones ahead" and then hover in the air.

These drones were all provided by China. He only had the right to use them; he did not own the underlying hardware and software. Therefore, he could not allow anyone to bypass his access and follow Amanosaki.

This made him very angry.

He urged Bona to contact the Chinese government, but all he got were vague responses like "Please wait patiently," "We are discussing it," and "No results yet."

About two hours later, he received news from the shareholders' meeting of the "Player One" movie in America.

Huaxia plans to invite journalists from renowned newspapers around the world to form an international press corps to travel to the Hongdu branch to participate in filming Huaxia's efforts to eradicate a special species—the four-clawed scale fish.

Spielberger could tell with his own eyes that this must involve dodging the game.

This includes the opinions of international environmental protection organizations, biological research institutes in various countries, and sovereign states. Among them, America will inevitably clamor for nonsense such as "human rights" and "animal rights" in an attempt to interfere.

As an insider, he knew that China was planning to use this extermination campaign as a military exercise to demonstrate its national power.

His translation team has reported that, with the release of the trailer he spearheaded, the Chinese people are becoming increasingly curious about the extermination order, and the demand for more footage and news is growing louder.

From a film director's perspective, this is an excellent opportunity.

As long as he continues filming, he can produce a third and a fourth high-quality trailer.

But now, not only has he lost track of Amanosaki, but even the footage of the chivalrous warrior beating up the mechanical exoskeleton team that was filmed earlier has been forcibly deleted by the military surrounding the film set.

"This is a military order," the leading soldier said.

"Screw military orders! The movie's at a crucial moment!"

Spiegelberg was furious.

"We must produce as many trailers and prepare the movie as possible before these shitty reporters get their hands on the inside scoop! Right now, we are the exclusive, unofficial source! Exclusive! Exclusive on the military operations of a nation of over a billion people! Do you understand the weight of that, Bona!"

"I understand, I understand, but they still refuse to let the drone in!" Bona was also anxious, his hands trembling as he recorded the information, and he even yelled at his superior.

Spiegel sat slumped on the ground, muttering incoherently, listening to Bona's repeated, humble pleas for permission. His mind was filled with images of Amanosaki, dragons, lightning, boiling river water, and zombie-like fish.
