Chapter 533: Chapter 528: Captain, Is There a Chance for Me to Join the Security Department After Retirement?
Two months later—
The warship representing Hua Continent’s maritime territory sailed into Beizhou waters.
In addition, warships from South Continent, West Continent, Jiazhou, and other continents gradually arrived.
The International Space Research Center, initiated by Hua Continent and South Continent, was officially established, with its headquarters set up in the public area—Beizhou.
The research center specially invited top researchers from Jiazhou, West Continent, and other smaller continents to join, working together to explore extraterrestrial civilizations and the study of mutant species in pollution zones.
Hua Continent and South Continent will also grant research center researchers access to their respective continental pollution zones.
It is the first time in over 100 years since the chaos began that the major continents are once again cooperating to revisit the research on extraterrestrial civilizations and mutant species.
All major continents will also send personnel to Beizhou to establish larger and more complete research bases near the existing bunkers.
And special operations teams from the major continental bases will be stationed there long-term to ensure the personal safety of each top-level researcher.
As the captain of the first group of Hua Continent’s special operations team to enter Beizhou, Fu Yuanxuan was looking ahead with binoculars.
With the help of the special potion brought back by Ji Ning, he and Mantis safely awakened their superpowers.
Immediately afterward, they received this task order.
For this reason, his grandfather specially had a heart-to-heart talk with him, looking complicated as he urged him to do well. His father even jealously remarked that he was lucky.
It was not until they were about to depart that he confirmed Ji Ning’s true identity.
Hua Continent’s former highest commander, the female War God who established the first safe zone, Ji Ning.
When the speculation became reality, he felt much calmer instead.
"Captain, did Sister Ning really become one of the leaders of this newly established Space Research Center?"
Mantis still couldn’t quite believe it.
Wasn’t she an agent of the Security Bureau?
How did she end up as the head of an international organization?
The leap is so big...
Fu Yuanxuan gazed at the sea ahead, responding calmly, "She is a high-level superpower user with abilities in multiple series, and she holds an SSS-level researcher certificate issued by the Huazhou Research Institute. Naturally, she was recommended to be one of the leaders of the research center."
After becoming the highest honor commander, Ji Ning did not publicly announce her identity. She still held an A-level investigator position in the Security Department, but she has since been promoted to an S-level investigator.
The B-level investigators who were once in her investigation team have all been promoted by one level, transferred laterally to the Security Department, and have now become members of the S-level special investigation team within the special department of the Security Department, specifically handling the most challenging superpower cases in all of Hua Continent.
This time, a few of them came along as well, specifically to attach monitoring devices to the special criminals within the research center.
The members of the special operations team stationed in Beizhou also have a special responsibility to guard these special criminals and prevent them from escaping Beizhou to commit greater crimes.
"Captain, look, is that Sister Ning?" Mantis’s sudden shout brought back Fu Yuanxuan’s wandering thoughts.
He immediately followed Mantis’s finger with his binoculars and saw a person like a small black dot standing on the highest peak of Beizhou.
The binoculars could only give him a rough outline of Ji Ning, but Mantis’s "Hawkeye" superpower could see it clearly.
"It really is Sister Ning. She’s so awesome. Look at the others around her wearing such heavy clothing and still shivering from the cold, while Sister Ning is in a single garment, unfazed. Captain, does Sister Ning have an ice ability too?"
Fu Yuanxuan wanted to say he saw nothing.
But upon hearing the question, he pressed his lips and said, "Her talent is very high. She can replicate a superpower’s control method after seeing someone use it once."
Mantis was shocked, dumbfounded as he looked at Fu Yuanxuan, "Then she’s basically an all-series superpower user?"
"You could understand it that way." Fu Yuanxuan nodded slightly.
Mantis studied him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Captain, after I retire, do I have a chance to join the Security Department?"
Fu Yuanxuan: ...
On the other side, on a medium-sized ship following Hua Continent’s warship, You Le was helping Grandma sit and enjoy the sea breeze on the deck.
The weather was nice outside, just a bit cold, not as warm as Hua Continent.
A week ago, they received a phone call, made especially by Le Wuyou.
It turned out that over the past ten or so years, she and You Tianming weren’t dead but were brought to Beizhou in secrecy to conduct scientific research.
Now that the research center has finally come to light, they are also able to contact their family members.
So she invited You Le and Grandma to Beizhou, in the name of a family reunion.
You Le didn’t originally want to come; she had vague and even some resentful memories of her parents.
But Grandma Youle was extremely saddened to hear that her son had turned into a cyborg for research purposes.
She cried for several days, insisting on bringing You Le to Beizhou to see her son.
You Le, helpless, had to agree to go to Beizhou with her grandma, albeit with a worried heart.
"Grandma, it’s windy outside, let’s go back."
"You Le, look ahead, aren’t we about to dock?"
You Le looked ahead and replied, "Yeah," "We’re lining up to dock. Grandma, we should go back and pack our things, otherwise Teacher Xiao Mu won’t be able to find us later."
When Grandma Youle heard the mention of Teacher Xiao Mu, her eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile. She decided to get up, supporting herself on You Le’s arm, preparing to head back to the cabin.
"You Le, does your Teacher Xiao Mu have a partner?"
You Le, feeling exasperated, responded, "I don’t know."
"Help Grandma ask when we return..."
"Why? Are you trying to play matchmaker again?"
Grandma Youle playfully slapped You Le, but it actually hurt her hand.
She couldn’t help worrying whether her granddaughter would become stronger and stronger in the future, to the point of not being able to marry out.
After hesitating for a while, she said, "It’s just for the granddaughter of your Grandma Liu down the street."
An image of a woman flashed in You Le’s mind, and she quickly shook her head, "Grandma, give it a rest. Teacher Xiao Mu definitely isn’t suitable for her."
"You’re talking nonsense, they haven’t even met. How can you say they’re unsuitable? Young people just need a contact number and more conversations to get to know each other..."
As she was speaking, Agent number 106, who had changed his name to Du Mu, approached from inside the ship cabin.
"You Le, Grandma Zhao, the captain notified us to bring our luggage to the deck for assembly in half an hour, we need to hurry back to pack and prepare to disembark."
Du Mu dared not look at You Le, still having the illusion that the girl in front of him would suddenly become Leader Ji.
You Le had noticed this habit of his, assuming he was just introverted, so she joked, "Teacher Xiao Mu, how did you have the courage to be an NPC at the training camp back then?"
Thinking of his embarrassing past, bronze-skinned Du Mu blushed, "Well... it was... the high pay..."
"Hahaha..."
Grandma Youle couldn’t bear to see her granddaughter bully the young teacher, especially when her granddaughter standing next to Teacher Xiao Mu gave off an impression of bullying.
She tried to wedge herself between the two to separate them and change the subject, "Teacher Xiao Mu, do you have a partner?"
"No..."
"That’s wonderful."
Du Mu: ???
You Le sympathetically looked at him, causing Du Mu to feel even more flustered.
Before Grandma Youle could question him further, Du Mu’s communicator suddenly rang.
Du Mu’s shy demeanor vanished in an instant, and he walked away holding the communicator, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Seeing this, Grandma Youle tugged on You Le’s arm and whispered, "Is your Teacher Xiao Mu really a teacher?"
You Le, seeing her grandma finally catching on, teasingly said, "Being a teacher is just his side job."
"Then what is his main job?"
"B-level investigator in the Security Department."
Grandma Youle: ...
This granddaughter of hers is becoming more and more troublesome.
After the call, Du Mu returned, glancing seriously at the grandmother and granddaughter, his eyes flashing with some sympathy.
Le Wuyou is also one of the special criminals with monitoring devices this time.
