Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

One wrong move and you will fall into utter ruin.

"I think I'll pass the party," Long Wu said apologetically.

Despite wanting to slack off a little in response to everyone's invitations, Long Wu realized he hadn't yet mastered Hafk's movements.

This feeling of knowing there is an enemy, but not knowing where they are or when they will attack.

This made it impossible for Long Wu to relax.

“But Commander Long, if a person keeps that tension up for too long, they will become useless.”

Zhang Ning couldn't help but offer some advice.

They were among the first special personnel selected by Longwu in the operational area.

They have witnessed the changes in Longwu since its arrival.

She looks terribly haggard now.

Long Wu parted his lips slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head with a smile.

"I'm so sorry everyone, I've spoiled your fun."

"You have made great contributions to the Xia Kingdom over the past few years and deserve a good rest."

"And I didn't do any physical combat, so it was much easier for me than for you guys."

After saying that, Long Wu waved his hand and lowered his head to write and draw on the paper by himself.

The paper was covered with densely packed combat plans and personnel assignments.

Although Liu Yan's soldiers, as well as special personnel like Chen Yu, are very strong.

They don't need to develop specific plans during combat; they can accomplish what other ordinary personnel cannot by simply improvising.

But not everyone is so powerful and special.

For ordinary operatives, if proper deployment and command are not implemented...

It will definitely turn into complete chaos at crucial moments.

Although many combat commanders were also selected.

But they are responsible for commanding small-scale operations.

Large-scale planning still requires Longwu to formulate the plans, and then the orders are transmitted down and executed level by level.

"Oh well…"

"Commander Long, please take care of yourself..."

Seeing that Long Wu did not intend to join them, Zhang Ning and the others had no choice but to take their leave.

"Brother Long, take a rest." Chen Yu waved his hand.

"Ah."

"Have fun, but there's something I have to say that might spoil the fun."

"Everyone should drink less alcohol, after all, we are currently in a situation where we are in the open while the enemy is in the dark, and we are in a 24-hour combat readiness period."

"Control the quantity to ensure combat capability under any circumstances."

After listening, the group nodded seriously and then left the meeting room.

Chapter 264 The Gift of Drinks

Hafk Local Cuisine Restaurant.

"Can this shop name really be registered for business...?"

Looking at the name of the restaurant in front of him, Lin Han couldn't help but facepalm.

Fudge spoke up from the side to explain:

"Now, let alone Hafk Local Cuisine Restaurant, there are plenty of other restaurants like Longbow Noodle Shop, Asara Noodle Shop, Flamethrower Roast Duck Shop, and Zero-sized Chicken Cutlet."

“Things are different now. Since their arrival, these things have been fully integrated into society.”

"Whether you've been to the Third District or not, you can't help but go in when you see a store with such a gimmicky storefront."

"Even if it's not for the taste, quite a few people will go in to try it just because of the name."

"Over time, everyone started using that name."

Fuji spent most of his time in Xia Country training drivers, so he naturally knew more about the recent changes in Xia Country than others.

"Brother Ji, although I trust the restaurant you chose, it doesn't look very big. How about we go to a bigger one with private rooms?"

As Shen Cangsheng asked the question, he gave Lin Han a disgruntled look.

Currently, their group consists of Chen Yu, Zhang Ning, Fuji, Zhao Chuang, Shen Cangsheng, and Lin Han.

There were six people in total.

Most restaurants can accommodate this number of guests.

This restaurant also has tables for a certain number of people.

But that wasn't what Shen Cangsheng was worried about.

Instead, it was Lin Han standing to the side.

This guy has fans everywhere, and there's this fan effect.

Once one person discovers it, it will gradually attract more and more people.

We'll have a nice get-together, but this will ruin everything.

The tacit understanding they shared made Lin Han instantly understand Shen Cangsheng's thoughts.

This time, however, he didn't argue or quarrel with Shen Cangsheng; instead, he felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry everyone, there's really nothing I can do about this situation."

"Brother Ji, if you really want to eat at this place, you can wait until I'm not here."

"Let's do as Shen Cangsheng suggested and change to a room with a private room for today."

"This meal is on me."

Fudge waved his hand immediately after hearing this.

"Go away, go away, what do you mean 'you're paying'? Of course, I'll pay for this meal."

"Don't forget, in terms of rank, all of you have to take a backseat."

"And there's no need to change restaurants."

"The owner of this place is an old acquaintance of mine. I had already arranged to book the entire place with him."

After saying that, Fudge waved his hand and stepped into Hafk Restaurant.

Seeing this, the others did not refuse and followed.

Given our current relationship, it doesn't matter who pays for the meal; the important thing is to get together and relax.

After entering the restaurant, everyone began to remove their equipment, weapons, backpacks, and chest straps.

These pieces of equipment are with me almost every day.

Even if it can be placed in some special storage items, it can then be put into quantum storage.

However, its complicated operation will still take some time compared to simply picking it up and putting it on.

Fudge skillfully walked to the front desk, took the menus corresponding to the number of people, and handed them to everyone.

"Order whatever you like, let me tell you, this place is different."

"The owner isn't always open. It's lucky we caught him here today. The taste is absolutely authentic!"

Fudge covered his mouth and leaned close to the group, whispering:

"I even suspect that something was added to it!"

As he spoke, Fudge smacked his lips.

Is it really that strange?

Seeing Fudge's exaggerated evaluation, Chen Yu, unconvinced, picked up the menu, shook it a couple of times, and began to look at it.

The others also looked at the menu with suspicion.

After looking at the menu, everyone frowned, looked up at each other, and finally all looked at Fudge.

"What's going on?"

"Holy crap, this is unbelievable..."

"Dude, is this still in China?"

Chen Yu, Lin Han, and Shen Cangsheng all exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Even Zhang Ning was surprised and slightly opened her mouth.

Zhao Chuang looked at Fuji with curiosity.

"Brother Chicken, you just said you suspected something was added to it, what exactly was added?"

"Zhao Chuang, don't interrupt." Chen Yu waved his hand, then looked at Fuji.

"What exactly is going on?"

Chen Yu pointed to the menu.

The prices listed on the menu are completely different from the original prices.

For example, braised pork with quail eggs, priced as a set of level 3 bullets, or firearms of equivalent value.

Stir-fried tomatoes and potato slices, priced as a set, first-class quality.

As for some seafood, the prices are outrageous.

A giant flying crab, priced at the cost of a level 4 bulletproof vest.

Scrolling further down, you'll find that some of the restaurant's signature dishes now come with prices that include small, special items!

Fudge smiled slightly.

"You've never seen the world before, have you? Other countries haven't developed to this extent, it's normal for you to be surprised."

"Do you remember before you left, when order had just been restored, the purchasing power of cash was getting worse and worse?"

After a moment's thought, everyone nodded.

“Indeed, but what does that have to do with anything?” Lin Han couldn’t help but ask.

"Tsk, this is very important." Fudge curled his lip.

"Now almost the entire population is mobilized for war, and everyone is generally aware of the war situation."

"This kind of thing can't be hidden at all."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Having come this far, trying to keep it a secret would be treating people like fools.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to make it public.

Whether it's the full-scale invasion or the sudden appearance of zombies, both tell people that the world has changed.

“After you left, people stopped using cash as before, because it was no longer useful.”

"Although buying equipment with cash only requires one more step."

"But compared to cash, readily available equipment provides a greater sense of security."

"Aside from what's officially distributed, who wouldn't want better equipment?"

Hearing this, Shen Cangsheng timidly raised his hand and asked:

"Brother Ji, isn't the official system to centralize the equipment and then distribute it later?"

Fudge nodded.

"Of course, but there will always be people who won't buy it."
