Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

Inside the Earth Defense Force's operations room, Zhang Chen was unconsciously shaking his leg.

As the backup progress bar gradually reached its maximum, he quickly unplugged the device from the host and casually tossed it to Luo Xi, who was not far away.

"With this little information, we probably won't be able to deal with that monster. If we can't get accurate information about the Ultra Brothers' legacy, it will be difficult for us to carry out our next operation," Luo Xi said with some worry as he put away the device.

"I know, but we can't let that put us in a dangerous situation."

Zhang Chen rubbed his chin with his fingers. "At least for now, I don't want to deal with the officers of the Earth Defense Force, much less expose myself to them."

"That's true, but how do we infiltrate a research lab with an even higher level of security?"

Hearing Luo Xi's question, Zhang Chen sighed. Then he raised his head, his eyes darting around unconsciously. Finally, his gaze settled on the corner of the ceiling in the operations room, where a camera was quietly flashing red light.

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Perhaps we don't need to dive that deep."

"What do you mean?" Luo Xi was taken aback.

Zhang Chen didn't explain, he just smiled mysteriously.

"Besides the research labs, the computer system in the Earth Defense Force's Supreme Commander's office should also include a comprehensive internal network module, right?"

"You mean..."

Luo Xi finally realized what was going on. She blinked, pondered for a moment, and then spoke uncertainly.

"But I can't guarantee that the door can be opened with a bank card."

"You have to give it a try, I believe in you."

"Tch, all you do is say nice things..."

...

About twenty minutes later.

The door to the operations room opened again; Chu Huai had returned.

As soon as he entered, Chu Huai smiled at Tang Yu, who was yawning.

"Sister Tang, thank you so much this time! You have no idea, I've never taken down a monster so easily before, especially one that was so powerful!"

"...Thanks to me?"

Tang Yu rubbed her temples. She felt dizzy and disoriented, as if she had forgotten something, yet nothing seemed to have changed.

"Of course." Chu Huai pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Tang Yu. "If you hadn't told me about that monster in time, this battle would have been much more difficult."

He let out a long sigh of relief after saying this.

"Luckily, I knew beforehand that this was a speed-type monster that could also spray corrosive liquid, otherwise it would have been really uncomfortable to get hit by it. You didn't even see the ground that was sprayed with corrosive liquid; even the rocks were corroded. Ugh... that's disgusting."

"Is that so...? I think so..."

Tang Yu shook her head in confusion, but she didn't think much of it.

Her task had always been to provide logistical intelligence to the action team members in the operations room. What Chu Huai was talking about was indeed her job, but strangely enough, she had no recollection of it at all.

"By the way, Sister Tang, how's Captain Wang doing?" Chu Huai asked, glancing at the empty operations room.

Wang Kui and the rest of the team were in charge of another battlefield. Chu Huai was still worried about them because, in some ways, dealing with the mastermind was more dangerous than dealing with the monsters.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu raised her hand and brought up the previous communication information, and also saw the action briefing sent remotely by Wang Kui.

"The operation was a success. Captain Wang and his team wiped out the nest built by the Spelians and left one survivor. Chen Mo and Yang Tianyu have already taken him to Hanshan Prison, and the interrogation is being arranged, but that's not our responsibility."

Hearing Tang Yu's response, Chu Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."

Then he noticed Tang Yu's unusual behavior.

"Sister Tang...are you alright? You don't look too well."

"I'm fine. I probably just didn't get enough rest or had low blood sugar. I think I fainted a moment ago, and my mind is still a bit foggy."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huai immediately jumped up from his chair.

"You've fainted? What are you still doing here? Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary right now."

"No need, no need, I've just been too busy lately, I'll be fine after a rest." Tang Yu waved her hands repeatedly. She hadn't finished her work yet, and she still needed to send the report to the commander-in-chief. How could she go to the infirmary at this time?

But Chu Huai was anxious. "What are you saying? Your health is the most important thing! You've fainted, you definitely need a full checkup. What will we do if you collapse?"

"I'm really fine, look at me, I'm perfectly alright."

Tang Yu smiled and continued.

"And I just checked the security footage; I really did faint from being so busy. But luckily, I fainted after your mission was over, hehe..."

"You're still laughing? How can you even laugh at this?"

Looking at this gentle older sister who had always been so kind to him, Chu Huai gritted his teeth, lifted her up, and dragged her outside.

"No! No one can help you. You have to come to the infirmary with me today. If there's anything wrong, have them come to me!"

"What do you want?"

squeak--

The door to the operations room opened again, and Chu Huai and Tang Yu stopped what they were doing.

The two looked up at the same time and saw that it was Commander-in-Chief Long Tian walking in, with the action team leader Wang Kui and deputy leader Yan Su behind him.

"What's going on here?" Yan Su frowned slightly when he saw Chu Huai and Tang Yu. "Why are you pulling and tugging at each other? We're working!"

"Deputy Yan." Startled by Yan Su's expression, Chu Huai explained, "Yes, Sister Tang's body couldn't take it anymore. She even fainted just now. I wanted her to go to the infirmary for a check-up, but she refused to come with me and said she wanted to continue working."

"What?" Wang Kui's eyes widened upon hearing this. "It must be because you've been working too hard on your research these past few days. You too, Xiao Tang, Chu Huai is just looking out for you."

"Captain Wang, I'm really, really okay..." Tang Yu wanted to say that she was fine, but with so many people watching her, she didn't know if she was really okay or not.

After all, she hadn't had a proper rest these past two days.

"Alright, I'll make the decision." Wang Kui interrupted Tang Yu and spoke to Chu Huai beside him. "Comrade Chu Huai, take Xiao Tang to the infirmary for a full check-up. Xiao Tang, please cooperate. I'll take care of your work."

"Yes!" Chu Huai responded, then grinned at Tang Yu. "Let's go, Sister Tang, Captain Wang has agreed."

"Okay... thank you, Chu Huai, thank you, Captain Wang."

Since that's what they've said, Tang Yu didn't insist. Long Tian, ​​Wang Kui, and the others stepped aside and watched as Chu Huai helped Tang Yu leave the operations room.

The door closed, and the operations room fell silent once more.

But the silence didn't last long before Wang Kui spoke up. "Commander-in-Chief, this operation went very smoothly. We wiped out all the Spelians, and seized the large equipment they brought. As for the location and purpose of their spaceships, I believe we'll be able to find out soon."

"Hmm, well done." Ryuta's expression remained unchanged as he simply nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Kui's smile faded somewhat. "What's wrong, Commander-in-Chief? Has something happened?"

I guess so.

Longtian pondered for a moment, then turned around and beckoned. Yan Su immediately understood and took out the folder from his arms, placing it in Longtian's hand.

"I went to a meeting this time, and the higher-ups issued the latest mission changes regarding the escort of supernatural objects, which also includes the Ultra Brothers' legacy."

"what?"

Wang Kui's expression changed several times. His gaze first fell on Yan Su, then shifted to Long Tian's face, and finally landed on the folder.

"Task changed..."

Turning to the first page, a line of large text was marked on the document.
