NOVEL NEXT Chapter 410: Amina on the Offensive
"Quick! Send the telegram! The Black Storm has returned!"
Wang Jixuan sat in the conference room of the 'Fortress No. 76' Museum.
People kept running through the corridor.
Some rushed in from the surface, some dropped their tasks and hurried over upon hearing the news; order and hierarchy seemed to have failed at this moment, and everyone was discussing one topic.
[Ah, this is the Black Storm.]
Master Wang sat calmly there.
A middle-aged woman dressed in professional attire nervously stepped forward and softly asked, "Um, sir, do you need a drink?"
"A cup of tea, please."
Wang Jixuan instructed:
"If you make contact, please give me a sign."
"Yes, sure!"
The woman turned to the nearby makeshift water bar.
Wang Jixuan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Maybe he was moved by Beta;
or maybe it was the deep-seated guilt that wouldn't dissolve rising in his heart.
Wang Jixuan had actually been somewhat hesitant to meet Lingtong before;
though he went to heal, not for leisure, this time had been too long, long enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
Lingtong's body had been nourished and transformed by him with spiritual energy;
she would have the life expectancy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, spanning two or three hundred years.
But eighty years...
Her best years had been wasted by time, in the later eighty years, one hundred and sixty years, Wang Jixuan would never leave her again.
Suddenly.
The projection devices in the four corners of the conference room were simultaneously illuminated, the light intertwined, and a character projection appeared in front of Wang Jixuan, gazed at him for a few moments, then screamed:
"Com—mander!"
Wang Jixuan's forehead was full of black lines, he opened his eyes to glare at the fellow who'd become the largest 'warlord' in human society.
Mu Dan.
She hadn't changed at all.
Mechanical body, after all, appearance can be meticulously designed, if the body parts age they can be replaced at any time, as long as the self-awareness doesn't collapse, there's nothing wrong with her.
However, Mu Dan did have some changes.
At the moment wearing a military uniform, with light makeup, her proud posture was upright and powerful, exuding strong confidence from top to bottom.
Confidence from a mechanical body queen.
Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue: "Alright, seems like you've made some progress."
"Hehehe," Mu Dan's big eyes curved into crescents, "Please wait a moment, I need to transfer affairs to the deputy, then I'll come back to serve you!"
Serve, serve?
The middle-aged woman next to him trembled.
What's going on?
Frequently appearing in the headlines, showing extraordinary performance in every phase of the counterattack against Blade Beasts, known as the hope of human future, the only mechanical body with a soul, the extremely powerful Queen Mu Dan, actually a sex... pft! Maid of the Black Storm?!
Wang Jixuan said calmly: "Hmm, it's also good to come back, let me check your memory, see if you've done anything shady."
"Hey," Mu Dan pouted, "I haven't done anything shady, it's all according to your orders, helping humans achieve final victory."
"Where's Lingtong?"
"She's on her way back! It's coincidental, she submitted her leave application yesterday, wanting to visit Earth, and she was already halfway, so it'll take about seven or eight hours to reach Earth!"
Wang Jixuan wondered: "Where did you get your space teleportation technology?"
"The Star Sky Gate!"
Mu Dan spoke confidently:
"The Yina Civilization gave it to the Spirit Cultivation Civilization, the Spirit Cultivation Civilization gave it to the Blade Beast Civilization, and now, we've defeated the Blade Beast Civilization in local areas, well, it's our spoils of war, right?
"Moreover, sir, you don't know, this Star Domain not only has us Earth humans, but dozens of various-sized civilizations, some have already become powerful enough to occupy over a dozen planets!
"They're also affected by the Blade Beast disaster, suffering heavy losses; not to mention, there's the threat of civilization extinction.
"Fortunately, when we charged out, the Blade Beast still hadn't dealt with the Spirit Cultivation Civilization, so they didn't expand outward.
"Actually, the strategic window only lasted three to five years.
"If we had delayed our Great Victory on Mars, jumped out of Earth later, the Blade Beast would have launched a full-scale purge of this Star Domain, at that time, not only would we lose allies, but face the full attack of the Blade Beast, likely we wouldn't survive.
"Luckily, this commander's courage and decisiveness let the self-supplementing mechanical troops directly jump into the opened interstellar gate, shocking the entire Star Domain!"
Wang Jixuan chided: "Shocking the entire Star Domain, why not shock the entire universe? Come back swiftly, turn off your bragging system for me!"
"Oh," Mu Dan pouted aggrievedly but soon perked up her spirits, "Then I'll go handle matters, see you soon... Do you want your maid to wear black silk or white silk? Flesh-colored is also an option."
Wang Jixuan:...
Whizz.
He pressed the remote control, cutting off the communication.
The middle-aged woman next to him nervously approached, whispered: "Commander, are you familiar with this commander?"
"Apologies," Wang Jixuan sipped his tea, but didn't say much.
The woman sensibly saluted and withdrew.
As soon as she stepped out, a crowd surrounded her, asking questions left and right.
Wang Jixuan continued flipping through the booklet in front of him.
The book recorded the various eras Fortress No. 76 had experienced, and later much of it was authentic historical material.
The Daoist suddenly spoke as he read: "Do you intend to keep peeking at me from the corner until they return?"
"Of course not."
A clear voice like a songbird came through.
In the corner, strands of phantom light enveloped, wearing a long black gauze dress, skin so white it glowed, Amina appeared from there.
