Chapter 192: The Shadows' Residence
Legion camp.
Mitsui Tsubasa waited in front of the elevator door for ten minutes and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the hunter would not catch up.
Fighting that guy in the game is disgusting enough, and requires careful selection of the right persona.
But now... the First Emperor was weak to the Curse, which caused him to be restrained by the Hunter. He would have to find a way to overcome this weakness in the future.
After thinking for a moment, he temporarily suppressed his worries and turned to announce to his companions: "The alarm is lifted. Let's all take a rest first."
"Huh." Sakura Futaba exhaled exaggeratedly and stretched her body. "Finally I escaped. With that powerful shadow in the deep area, I might be chased by it at any time in the future."
Mitsui Tsubasa also felt that this problem was a bit tricky, and he frowned and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will have a car to get around tomorrow, and that shadow will not be able to catch up with us no matter how powerful it is."
"Car? Great!"
Sakura Futaba cheered and was very excited.
Instead, Wu Jianmiao calmly asked a question: "But... does anyone know how to drive? I have to say in advance that I have been too busy and have never had time to learn."
She looked past Sakura Futaba and landed on Mitsui Tsubasa with suspicion, "The age limit for taking a driver's license test is 18. You probably haven't learned it, right?"
Mitsui Tsubasa was stunned by her question. Of course he had learned it in his previous life, but in this life... he really hadn't had time to retake the driving test.
But who says you need a driver’s license to drive?
He answered confidently: "Don't worry, I can drive. Automatic cars are very simple. There are only brakes and accelerators!"
Wu Jianmiao immediately showed an expression of disapproval when he heard this.
Just when she was about to question it, Isshiki Wakaba came to his rescue: "Let me drive. I have a driver's license."
Mitsui Tsubasa was somewhat unwilling, but he was outnumbered and was deprived of the right to drive the car.
After chatting for a while, he took out his cell phone and checked the time - 9:45.
There's no need to continue practicing at this time. Futaba and Takemiya will have to go home in another hour, so let's find something else to do.
Before he could figure out what to do, he felt something moving in his pocket, and Xixi flew out with a dazed look on his face.
As if she noticed that the current atmosphere was very leisurely, she flew a few circles in the air and then flew towards Isshiki Wakaba's tent with a clear purpose.
Through the open door curtain, Mitsui Tsubasa watched her pick up a bag of snacks from the bedside table and start eating them.
Following Xixi's lead, Nekomata also sneaked over, and then... climbed onto Isshiki Wakaba's bed nimbly and even covered her with a small blanket.
Mitsui Tsubasa was speechless for a while, then turned to look at Isshiki Wakaba: "Aunt Isshiki, what's wrong with Nekomata?"
"Her." Isshiki Wakaba glanced at her without any surprise, as if she had expected it. "Maybe it's the instinct of cats. They particularly like beds or boxes. I won't use them anyway, so let her stay there."
Mitsui Tsubasa didn't know what to say for a moment. Shadows didn't need to eat or sleep, but they loved it.
His eyes involuntarily turned to the newly captured flower soul today, and he found that this shadow also had the intention of moving over there, glancing at him stealthily.
"This won't work."
Mitsui Tsubasa thought to himself that if all the shadows squeezed into Isshiki Wakaba's tent, it would definitely affect her research work. It seemed that she had to quickly set up a camp for the shadows.
Thinking of this, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "I remember there are a few simple tents in the supply area. Let's set up a shadow rest area. We can't let them all stay in Aunt Isse's tent."
As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was immediately passed unanimously by everyone.
The group began to divide the work and work together to assemble the tent.
With concerted efforts, it took them only half an hour to build four new small tents around Isshiki Wakaba's tent and two more at the entrance of the tunnel.
"Is it built here so that the shadows can help guard the gate?"
Sakura Futaba was a little confused about the location and looked at him curiously.
"That's pretty much what it means."
Mitsui Tsubasa said a few perfunctory words. In fact, this was the cannon fodder camp he had chosen. If he recruited a non-female shadow in the future, he would place it in a remote corner like this.
He planned to place those shadows that would affect his mood in the outer city area, and let them be the first wave in the war, just like a suicide squad.
After setting up the tents, the next task is to assign accommodation to the shadows.
There are only three shadows at present, and they can enjoy single room treatment. But if there are more in the future, this will not be possible.
He planned to order some removable panels and build a barracks further away to accommodate more shadows.
Among the three lucky ones, Hua Po was the most sensible. She walked into her empty personal room obediently without saying anything meaningful.
Nekomata was a little more troublesome. She stayed on Isshiki Wakaba's bed and refused to get up. Fortunately, there were several beds in the medical area, so Takemiya gave her one and Nekomata moved out.
The most troublesome person is Xixi. She has a special liking for a wooden box in Isshiki Wakaba's room, but the real owner of the box does not want to give it up.
"Don't even think about it! That's my strategic reserve box!"
When Sakura Futaba realized the furniture she wanted to take away, she couldn't help but scream, and then she and Xixi started to "snatch" it.
Since this was an internal conflict among the people, the other members tacitly chose to remain neutral and watched them fight each other in a dead heat.
After a while, the fight for snacks ended with Futaba wailing.
"My strategic reserve box! How did it become like this..."
Mitsui Yi went forward curiously to check and found Xixi, who had half of her body entered the box, with a gritted teeth expression on her face.
"What's going on here?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the tragic situation in the box.
This treasure chest that was once filled with snacks now only has a thin layer left, and there are also many empty packaging bags mixed in. The snacks that really survived are probably...
"I, I opened this box the day before yesterday... How come it has become like this in just two days..."
Sakura Futaba was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she pinched Xixi's belly with both hands: "Spit it out! Spit out all my snacks! Aaaaa——!"
She pinched Xixi and went crazy for a long time before being suppressed by Isshiki Wakaba who couldn't bear it anymore.
In the end, Isshiki Wakaba decided to keep Xixi. "She's so small, she won't take up much space. She'd be cute as a pet."
Sakura Futaba also received a promise from Mitsui Tsubasa to help her purchase a new batch of strategic reserves.
In this way, after a busy period of time, they finally settled the three shadows.
Chapter 193 Armament Upgrade
After solving the problem of the shadows, Mitsui Tsubasa walked into the elevator alone.
The new cars and mobile communications vehicles will arrive tomorrow, and there is clearly not enough space in this elevator.
After confirming the required space with the Oracle, he stretched out his hands and pressed them against the inner wall of the elevator.
Driven by his thoughts, the flames in his heart burst out like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting the entire elevator.
A familiar scene happened again. Under the burning of the dark flames, the inner wall of the elevator softened rapidly. He pushed hard, and the wall began to expand in all directions.
As the flame of his heart was rapidly consumed, Mitsui Tsubasa felt the emptiness in his body becoming more and more severe, and began to doubt whether he needed to use his life-saving skills to complete this task.
Fortunately, before the flames ran out, the oracle cheerfully reminded him that this size was enough.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander! Now Oracle's communication vehicle can easily drive in, meow!"
Mitsui Tsubasa was breathing heavily and took the water bottle handed to him by the drone. He drank the water while looking at the newly renovated elevator.
After his efforts, the elevator that was originally used only for carrying people has been successfully expanded to accommodate cars. If the load capacity is not taken into consideration, even a small truck can easily enter.
However, there was still a small question that bothered him.
"Oracle, are you sure you can get the car in? I'm not strong enough to move a car."
"It's okay. Oracle has made all the necessary preparations. You will know tomorrow, Captain."
Seeing that the oracle was so confident, Mitsui Tsubasa stopped asking questions.
After completing the final preparations, he walked to the center of the camp and gathered everyone together.
They used the remaining time before parting to discuss plans for the next day.
"I plan to take a leave tomorrow and go out to pick up Futaba at 7 a.m. After that, I will go to the Takemi Research Institute, where there are a batch of drones and equipment that need your help to assemble."
Mitsui Tsubasa briefly explained Oracle's large-scale purchasing plan, leaving the women present dumbfounded.
"Hundreds of drones? And mobile communications vehicles? Are we going to war?"
Sakura Futaba turned into a problem baby and raised a series of questions.
But before he could answer, her thoughts had already jumped to another question: "In this case, wouldn't the oracle become the strongest fighting force?"
"Meow, hoo, hoo! That's it, meow!" Oracle's arrogant laughter immediately came from everyone's mobile phone. "With the new equipment, Oracle will soon become the strongest person in the legion... well, the second strongest person in the legion, second only to the legion commander, meow!"
Her high emotional intelligence speech only earned her a roll of the eyes from Mitsui Tsubasa.
But to be honest, he was a little envious of Oracle's ability to become stronger by spending money. Her growth rate was really fast...
After quickly finalizing the gathering time for the next day, everyone prepared to go home.
Isshiki Wakaba offered to send Futaba off so that they could both rest early.
After they left, he immediately put his right hand around Wu Jianmiao's slender waist.
"Miao Miao, let's go to bed early too~"
"Stop messing around. I have some important things to do tomorrow. Let's talk about it another day..."
Wu Jianmiao pushed him gently, but the force was so subtle that it seemed more like flirting than rejection.
Mitsui Tsubasa originally thought so, until she blocked him outside the door, he unwillingly argued: "Is it not okay if I don't do anything and just sleep with you?"
"Do you think I will believe it? I've watched a lot of TV dramas. I'll say it again, tomorrow's battle is very important, so you have to have a good rest today, understand?"
She spoke the last three words word by word, a bright smile flashed across her face, and she quickly closed the door.
Mitsui Tsubasa was dazzled by her smile and missed the opportunity to enter the door.
"Damn Miaomiao, she actually used her charm skill. After finishing tomorrow's task, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"
Even when he returned home, he was still brooding over it, and the beautiful figure of Takemiya kept appearing before his eyes.
……
Saturday, October 5.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Mitsui Tsubasa was awakened by the music played by Oracle.
The passionate Soviet March echoed in the room, making his ears numb and his head buzzing.
"oracle--!"
He shouted through gritted teeth, and the music on his phone lowered its volume.
Oracle defended himself in a cute little voice: "Captain, it was you who asked Oracle to wake you up at 6 o'clock in the morning~"
Mitsui Tsubasa lay in bed for a long time before he sat up with great effort.
He washed his face with cold water several times and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window for a while before he regained his energy.
After that, he changed his clothes, had breakfast with Takemiya, and set out on time at 7 o'clock to pick up Futaba.
They arrived at the Takemi Institute before 8 o'clock.
Outside the underground garage of the research institute, Mitsui Tsubasa asked Kotetsu and the bodyguards to disperse and stand guard, and he only took Takemiya and Futaba in.
Under the dim light, an empty underground garage comes into view.
The air was filled with a mixture of engine oil and dust, but fortunately it was not strong, as if it had not been used for some time.
Mitsui Tsubasa looked around and soon saw a wall in the distance filled with boxes of various sizes.
There were a few cars covered with car covers parked in the empty spaces next to it.
"It looks like all my shopping has arrived, let's go take a look."
Mitsui Tsubasa greeted and walked over first.
The garage floor was smooth cement with a grayish-white sheen. The footsteps of the group echoed in the silent garage, sounding particularly clear.
When I walked to the area where supplies were stored, I saw that the express deliveries were neatly divided into several piles and carefully labeled.
