[Huo Xiao]: I can arrive in the fastest four days.
If he kept on traveling without sleep, Huo Xiao could only shorten his journey by three days at the earliest.
[Wei Jingzhe]: six days.
[Bai Chi Mian]: Two days later.
A piece of news exploded into two diving fishes.
There was no movement for a while, so there was probably no signal.
Jiang Lingrui didn't wait any longer. The fastest one to arrive was Bai Chimian, a fifth-level mutant snow wolf species with water-type mutant ice, which was extremely powerful in combat.
Thinking of the other party's information he just saw, he had some thoughts in mind.
[Jiang Lingrui]: Well, this time the beast tide came suddenly, I am not sure whether there will be another small beast tide or other raids later. The current situation is unclear and is not suitable for a rash transfer. Two fifth-level defenders from B22 City will arrive tonight. I will take Qian Qian to stay in the association's shelter for the next two days.
[Huo Xiao]: Hehe, people from the association, take Qian Qian to hide first. I will arrive as soon as possible. Qian Qian is waiting for me~~~
When the group was established, Jiang Lingrui enabled data sharing, and they all knew that he was an auxiliary without combat capabilities.
But being able to know this information and the contents of the order in such a short period of time shows that Jiang Lingrui's status in the association is not too low.
[Chen Qian]: Okay, please pay attention to your safety.
Not long after they finished their exchange, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Qi, who was somewhat disgraced.
"Commander Jiang, Miss Chen, sorry for the long wait, huh? Why is the window broken?"
The Mutants Association has an internal hierarchy: five presidents, 12 vice-presidents, five district chiefs in each district, 12 deputy district chiefs, and 24 wartime commanders to lead operations, followed by cities. Mayor, deputy mayor, inspector and other subdivided positions.
The commander has a special status. He has great power during the war. When necessary, he can bypass the district chief and decide wartime strategies on his own. He can mobilize defenders, defenders, and auxiliaries in the city of A level and below, and issue transfer orders and emergency mobilizations. Beast Slayer.
With such great rights, there are also more restrictions. If in the post-war data evaluation, some of his actions lead to increased war losses, then he will also be sent to the association's military court.
Jiang Lingrui is one of the few auxiliary commanders and does not need to participate in the battle, so few people know his name.
Chen Qian had not yet learned about the internal positions of the Mutants Association at this time, so when he heard about the commander, his attitude was slightly different from Zhang Qi's. He never expected that his match would be so powerful.
"It's okay. I accidentally broke it. Are you done with your work over there?" Neither Jiang Lingrui nor Chen Qian answered him, but he motioned to the other person to sit down and take a rest.
Zhang Qi got himself a glass of water to moisten his throat and sat across from them. He was quite frightened. He had never come into contact with such a high-status person. He had only seen those high-ranking people from a distance when he was in the A-level city. The mutants shouted in front of each other and obeyed the commander's arrangements honestly.
Without getting too hung up on the glass issue, he quickly asked his doubts, "Commander Jiang, was the high-level mutant just transferred here by you?"
The opponent was running so fast that no one could see clearly who was taking action.
He had just finished assigning cleaning tasks after the battle and hurried over. The signing of the treaty here by the commander is related to the subsequent series of battle deployments. It can be said to be the top priority!
Jiang Lingrui frowned slightly and replied quietly, "Well, she has a special mission and it is not convenient for her to show up for the time being. Don't worry, settle down the citizens and guards, and repair the protective shield as soon as possible."
He hid Chen Qian's specialness, and there would be no benefit in letting the association know about it.
If Chen Qian was willing to reveal his strength later, then again, now that Zhang Qi has asked, it means that Qian Qian deliberately did not expose it before, so Jiang Lingrui decisively chose to conceal it.
Zhang Qi's position was so different from Jiang Lingrui's that he didn't dare to ask in detail.
He had no choice but to change the subject, "Commander, because of your special status, you and Ms. Chen need to sign two additional agreements. You should also know this."
Jiang Lingrui nodded and watched the other party push his holographic panel over.
Seeing Chen Qian's curious expression, he helped to interpret it one by one.
The general idea is that some confidentiality regulations and private behaviors prohibited after the conclusion of the contract are different between the two agreements.
The most critical thing is that when making a choice between the life of the contract owner and the lives of the people in the city, the matchr must first overcome his instinct to protect the citizens. This is his duty as a commander! This kind of contract has energy bound in it, and it's not just a matter of signing it.
If he hadn't happened to encounter this inexplicable beast wave, Jiang Lingrui would have directly planned to resign.
He doesn't have a Holy Mother's heart. Maybe it's cruel to say that, but he has indeed made up his mind to make this choice.
The nature of the match simply cannot be suppressed.
But if he resigns now, then he will not be able to take Chen Qian into the association's underground shelter. The safety factor of ordinary shelters is too low, and he cannot guarantee the safety of the contract owner.
After listening to his explanation, Chen Qian was thoughtful, then turned to look at Jiang Lingrui and asked seriously, "Do you like being...a commander?"
This question made Jiang Lingrui fall into deep thought.
Like it?
I guess so?
Without strong combat power, he can only serve as a supporter, but he does not want to be inferior to others.
He enjoys the feeling of commanding the overall situation on the battlefield. He is familiar with all the abilities of those under his command, and can also place them in the most appropriate position to maximize their effect. I also know when to use those guardians, defenders, auxiliaries and beast slayers, how much to use, and how to use them. You can see a hundred steps at a time.
The success of every battle, the casualties avoided as much as possible, as well as those alive under his protection, those intact cities that allow humans to survive, the outward expansion of human territory, filling the gaps in sealed space.
Everything made his soul sigh.
He likes this feeling of having a winning chance.
If Chen Qian hadn't taken the initiative and won an overwhelming victory just now, he would have organized everyone outside to resist after settling the opponent.
In front of a city full of people, he had already made his choice.
Choose to stay with Chen Qian and prioritize his safety.
If a treaty had been signed before, he would have violated it long ago.
He didn't want to deceive his contract owner. After carefully thinking about his inner thoughts, he said firmly, "I like it."
"Then let's... sign!" Chen Qian did not want the other party to give up his beloved career for her.
The kind of person you are, the kind of responsibility you bear.
It is difficult to violate nature, so Chen Qian was willing to sign this word with him.
"Qian Qian..." Jiang Lingrui frowned. He could not accept that he might make the decision to abandon the other party.
Chen Qian curled his lips and finally gave a normal smile, a little proud and a little playful, "Believe me, I am strong!"
Jiang Lingrui immediately softened his heart. Yes, his contract owner was very strong, strong enough to support him in making such a decision.
With such confident eyes, he finally made up his mind to believe in his contract owner!
"good."
After the two of them signed, Zhang Qi spoke, "Please don't say anything next, just absorb the energy of the beast core when I ask you, one for each of you. First, Miss Chen's."
As he spoke, he took out two boxes made of special materials that were mailed a few days ago. After opening one of them first, there was a beast core emitting yellow fluorescence.
What a luxury, using a sixth-level beast core.
Then Zhang Qi turned the contract into a voice, and his voice entered the beast core little by little, "Are you willing to accept the above content?"
Chen Qian put her hand on the beast core, and the beast core was inexplicably absorbed by her, but there was nothing in her body, but she would not underestimate the power of the beast core.
After both of them completed the signing, Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Commander Jiang, if you resign in the future, you only need to submit an application, and the association will issue the solution stone. Because Miss Chen's confidentiality regulations are permanent, you can I also signed a confidentiality agreement before, which cannot be lifted by you."
Jiang Lingrui had known this before, and the other party was just telling them as part of routine work.
He actually knows how to remove it. As long as the level exceeds the level of the contracted beast core, he can break it, but he will suffer some backlash.
But there are only three seventh-level mutants in the entire world, so this method of resolving it is like nothing to ordinary people.
