Lu Weiliang kissed Sha Ling haphazardly for three minutes until Sha Ling's eyes were glazed over, then she quickly pulled away.

I quickly washed up and got dressed.

She dared not delay any longer and turned to board the aircraft that would return to the evacuation station.

Sha Ling was still eager for more, but had no choice but to obediently follow.

Along the way, Lu Weiliang buried herself in carefully reviewing the documents Zhao Fu had sent.

Three days ago, an explosion occurred in the sewers within the jurisdiction of Station 076, and one of the cracked pipes connected to a contaminated area in the suburbs. At the time, two SSS-class aberrations took advantage of the chaos to burrow into the underground pipes and abducted 28 sentries and two A-class guides, whose whereabouts remain unknown.

Lu Weiliang closed the light computer, her brows furrowed.

Abnormal variants are advanced products of pollutants, and mature forms are more capable of independent thought.

Especially the SSS-class, whose intelligence is almost equivalent to that of a human in their teens.

The aberration kidnapped the guide, which can be understood as plundering mental power, but why did it take away so many sentinels?

Want some?

With this question in mind, she opened the door to the 076 VIP conference room.

At first glance.

Wow, that's quite a complete lineup!

Xize Lu, Pa Baobao, Mai Qingfeng, and more than a dozen senior generals from the Central Military Region...

There were even three light screens floating in mid-air, which looked like the station managers of other traffic control stations.

Zhao Fu was sitting near the entrance. When he saw someone come in, he immediately stood up to greet them: "My lord, please take a seat." As he spoke, he helped pull out a chair.

Lu Weiliang sat down steadily and cast a puzzled look at Xize Lu, who was in the main seat.

Why is he here?

Once everyone had arrived, Yan Zhigao turned on the 3D projection screen in the middle of the conference room.

Xize Lu's eyes darkened, and he said seriously, "Everyone should know why I'm here. Those two A-level guides belong to the Central Military Region."

Lu Weiliang nodded knowingly.

"This situation is rather tricky."

Papa blinked: "How tricky is it?"

Xizelu said in a deep voice, "We have found that in the past three days, there have been ten cases of mutants stealing guides within the Empire, involving four military regions: east, west, south, and north. We reasonably suspect that this may be a joint incident by mutants."

Lu Weiliang raised her hand and asked, "Can mutants combine?"

Yan Zhigao opened an old document and projected a screenshot into the air.

"I have a report from three thousand years ago that records how sixteen mutated aberrations joined forces to kill more than three thousand sentinels for some unknown purpose. Although the report does not specify the motive, it is not difficult to see from the details that the advanced aberrations already possessed the thinking ability of an adult, and were definitely not just pollutants that simply devoured life."

With a flick of his left hand, the projection in mid-air instantly switched to a map of the mountains in the polluted area.

"This is a thermal image taken by a drone."

He pointed to a wreck halfway up the mountain. "Our analysis suggests that the sentry is most likely in this abandoned church. As for the guide... there are no infrared signals, so its location remains unknown."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked worried.

The aberration is adept at plundering the spiritual power of the guide. If the location cannot be detected, then most likely, the two people have already met with misfortune.

Xize Lu unfolded the mission briefing, his voice steady: "The objective of this operation is now announced—to rescue two guides and twenty-eight sentries. The Central Military Region will be the main force, with the three evacuation stations 076, 077, and 079 providing flank support."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and swept them over the crowd, then spoke again: "Directors first!"

The people from the Central Military Region were well-trained. As soon as Xize Lu finished speaking, everyone shouted, "Roger that!"

076 was quite lazy, since none of them had ever been on the battlefield.

Moreover, their guidance station is a private enterprise, so it doesn't have much of a corporate culture.

Lu Weiliang and Pa Baobao followed suit and also replied, "Received."

Xizelu raised his hand and projected the mission sheet into the air, scanning the entire room: "Prepare your equipment today, and depart promptly at 6:00 AM tomorrow. Each evacuation station must send at least two guides, with no limit on the number of sentries. After the meeting, immediately coordinate and report the numbers."

He withdrew his hand, decisively announcing, "Meeting adjourned!"

As soon as everyone left, Pa Baobao immediately moved over, grinning and acting spoiled.

"Sister, please have mercy~ Please make an exception for your Xize Road, the mutants are terrifying, I'm scared, I don't want to go."

Just as Lu Weiliang was about to say that she didn't want to go either, Zhao Fu suddenly walked over with a stern face.

He waved everyone away, then bent down and coaxed them like children, saying, "You two, stop fooling around. One is the Marquis of Moon Deer, and the other is the apple of the Duchess's eye. If you don't go, people will definitely accuse me of abusing my power. Besides, you two are the best performers in our station. If you don't go, who will?"

"Besides," Zhao Fu said in a low voice, looking distressed.

"You sentries are all highly capable. Look at the other guides at the station; the highest-ranking sentry is only A-level. They can barely protect themselves, let alone the guides. This important task is best left to you!"

"cut!"

"We're going to take risks just because the whistleblower is strong?" Pa Baobao pouted, threw down a sentence, and turned to leave.

She wants to go back to her mom and get in through connections.

Zhao Fu was so anxious he was about to cry, and could only place his hopes on Lu Weiliang.

"It's a little chilly, how about you?"

Lu Weiliang smiled slightly: "I'm fine with anything."

Actually, she didn't want to go either, so why did she agree? She just suddenly thought of an excuse to "get closer" to Xizelu.

……

After dinner.

Lu Weiliang sent a message to Sha Ling.

[Honey, there's something I want to do with you. Come to my room.]

Three seconds later, Sha Ling stood at the doorway wearing a loosely wrapped bath towel.

Lu Weiliang reacted quickly, pulling the person in and, before the other could react, touching the person's forehead with her fingertip to gently guide their thoughts.

Sha Ling was still immersed in the joy of making rice when she realized that she was trying to cheer herself up, and her face instantly turned as long as a donkey's.

Five minutes later, Lu Weiliang finished absorbing the spiritual energy, left Sha Ling alone in the room, and rushed out in a flurry, heading straight for Xize Lu's room.

When Sha Ling saw this, she thought she had fallen out of favor and quickly sent a message to Luo Ren for help.

Lu Weiliang straightened her clothes and gently knocked on Xize Road's door.

A cold, detached voice came from inside: "Director Lu, is there something you need?"

She rolled her eyes inwardly, utterly speechless.

He's all lovey-dovey and affectionate outside, but at home he's like a stranger to his enemies.

After calming myself down and softening my tone, I said, "Ah Lu, we're going into the contaminated area tomorrow, and I'm worried your futuristic tendencies might flare up. I wanted to help you clear your head tonight. Open the door."

"Okay, the door isn't locked."

Lu Weiliang pressed the doorknob, and the door opened a crack, releasing a pleasant, wild, and intense fragrance of trumpet creeper.

This guest room is only 30 square meters. Besides a bed, there is only a set of desk and chair, and a fat chicken on the balcony.

At this moment, Xizelu stood by the bed, as reserved as a soldier being inspected.

"It's a bit messy, don't mind it."

"How could that be?" Lu Weiliang sat on the edge of the bed, but before she could speak, the fat chicken started clucking loudly!
