As the time of departure approached, the training became more frequent and the content became more detailed. Apparently, not only Luo Yuan, but also the reconstruction area was under a lot of pressure for this mission.
However, no matter how worried they were, time still passed.
On the third day of departure, a prestigious award ceremony was secretly held in New Capital City. All the leaders of the High Committee were present and they personally awarded the award. Luo Yuan was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General during the ceremony. At the same time, he was relieved of his position as the Deputy Captain of the Firearms Bureau and was appointed as the Deputy Minister of the Firearms Bureau.
The Deputy Minister was the highest position an evolved human could reach in the Firearms Bureau. He was on par with the previous Deputy Minister, who was only known by his name but was never seen. He could be considered as one of the important leaders of the Reconstruction Area.
However, he would have to wait for Luo Yuan to return.
After the meeting, a staff member accompanied Luo Yuan to visit the underground warehouse. Before entering the warehouse, both of them put on their protective suits.
The warehouse was very small and there were only 12 shelves. Each of the shelves was filled with all kinds of rare treasures and weapons that the Reconstruction Area had collected over the years.
Some of the high-level materials that were emitting strong energy waves were covered with glassware.
The glass was made of high lead content which could isolate the radiation and terrifying aura of the materials.
Luo Yuan was secretly appraising the weapons as he walked. None of the weapons on the shelves were lower than level six. Most of them were level seven and a few of them were level eight. However, all of them had been made into weapons.
Luo Yuan could basically see the pictures of the weapons on the internal website of the Firearms Bureau.
Level eight weapons that used to cost at least tens of thousands of trading points were now given to Luo Yuan as long as he needed them. He would not hesitate even if he had to empty the warehouse.
To put it bluntly, Luo Yuan and the Reconstruction Area were like Jing Ke and Prince Yan Dan. Under the pressure of life and death, he would not be stingy as long as it was within his means.
"Open all these glass covers!" Luo Yuan said calmly.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Luo!" The staff member said in awe. He nimbly stepped forward and pressed the switches one by one. Then, he immediately retreated. As the glass cover was opened, countless energy waves instantly spread throughout the warehouse. Even the air began to fluctuate like ripples, like circles of fine fish scales.
He identified them one by one, and the information that came to his mind made his expression change. Finally, he carefully picked up a long sword that was as black as ink. The hilt and the blade were one, and the surface was dyed with a halo. Under the incandescent light, it shone with a misty luster. Then, he gently waved it in the air!
"Let's go!" Luo Yuan held the black knife and walked towards the door.
The voice seemed to have an irresistible majesty, and the clerk subconsciously hurriedly followed, even forgetting to close the glass cover. He had only taken two steps when there was a sound of shelves falling to the ground behind him. He looked back in confusion and saw that three or four shelves in a row had been split in half and fell to the ground. The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
He peeked at the black knife in Luo Yuan's hand and his body trembled.
…
On the last day of their journey, dinner was half an hour later than usual.
The atmosphere was a little quiet during dinner. Other than the sound of chopsticks hitting each other, no one spoke.
Luo Yuan finished the last bite of his food and put down his chopsticks. He sighed and said, "You should know that this temporary transfer may only come back after a few months. Please take good care of yourselves. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, please advise Shishi not to act rashly. You can go to the Firearms Bureau and look for Fang Peibin or Chen Xinjie. They will help you."
Wang Shishi pouted and said unhappily, "Brother Luo, when did I act rashly?"
Luo Yuan stared at her and thought to himself, "Don't think that I don't know that you killed Sun Youde."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family." Wang Jing quickly said.
Wang Jing represented the High Committee Office, and with her taking care of them, he could rest assured. He nodded at Wang Jing and said, "That's good."
Luo Yuan, who had always been cold to her, suddenly nodded and praised her. Wang Jing felt flattered, and she was a little excited.
Huang Jiahui had lost her appetite as well. She was worried and reluctant to let Luo Yuan go. She even forgot to doubt the name of Chen Xinjie, which was obviously a woman's name. "Can't we go with him?" she asked.
"It's the mining area. It's too dangerous. I'll be worried if you guys go with me." This was the excuse that he used to inform his superiors. Firstly, it was to keep it a secret, and secondly, it was to prevent his family from worrying. Although the mining area was not safe, it was much safer than traveling across half of the world to investigate the aliens in the South China Sea.
"Moreover, I won't be able to take care of you guys when I patrol the mining area every day. Staying here is better than anything else. Maybe we can come back in a month or two when the danger level decreases. "
"Then you have to take care of yourself. At least make a phone call every day!" Zhao Yali said. She was very sensitive, and her eyes were already red.
Luo Yuan secretly gave Wang Jing a look. Wang Jing already had a plan, so she said slowly, "There's a magnetite mine there, and it's very disruptive to the signal. I don't think you can make a phone call, but you can still write a letter. The mining area is difficult, so there's usually a postal service."
Of course, the letters were not written by Luo Yuan, but by some professionals who imitated his handwriting. Wang Jing had been living there for almost a month, so she was very familiar with the three girls. Plus, there might be a mastermind behind them, so they would not make any mistakes in a short period of time.
"What kind of place is this? I can't even make a phone call," Wang Shishi mumbled. Wang Shishi grumbled. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not doubt him. "Then don't forget to write letters. At least once a week. You can't write only one letter at a time. Also, the contents of each letter should be different. We will miss you, and I will miss you very much."
Wang Shishi's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
Luo Yuan felt sad, but he still forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll write every day."
He was not the one who wrote it anyway!
...
The sky was getting dark, and the women started to clean up the dishes. Wang Jing did not accompany them this time, but when they walked into the kitchen, she whispered, "The equipment you need is here, it's under my bed. When do you leave tomorrow? I'll give it to you."
"Early in the morning, around 3 o 'clock!" Luo Yuan said after some thought. He hated to face the sadness of leaving, so it was better to leave quietly.
"Okay!" Wang Jing quickly answered and quickly walked into the kitchen.
Luo Yuan walked into Huang Jiahui's bedroom and started to pack his luggage. In fact, all the necessities had been prepared for him, so he only needed to bring a few things. One of them was the Green Hidden Man's Sharp Horn.
"Rarity: Light Green"
"Additional Abilities: 1. Absorbs all kinds of energy waves; 2. Creates visual illusions."
Luo Yuan had no idea how to create visual illusions with the horn, but its ability to absorb energy waves made it worthy of being called a treasure. Other than shielding the senses, it could also shield long waves such as radio waves and infrared rays. With the level of technology on earth, even if it was placed in front of a radar, it would not be able to detect its existence. Luo Yuan was not sure if it would be effective against an extraterrestrial civilization with a higher level of technology.
Then, he looked at the two soul-eating beast's eyeballs that were placed next to it.
Since the two eyeballs were brought back, they had shrunk rapidly. They were originally the size of a washbasin, but now they were the size of a fist. However, their weight had not changed at all. Such a small bead weighed 2.3 kilograms, and its density was comparable to steel.
The bead had the ability to enter one's dreams. Luo Yuan had tried it a few times, but it was not very effective. Ordinary people's dreams were not stable, and they were constantly changing. They could only be observed passively, and the dream would collapse if there was any interaction.
However, it might be useful for investigating the aliens.
…
Late at night, Luo Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the time. He wanted to get up quietly. Wang Shishi seemed to dream that Luo Yuan was leaving. She suddenly shivered and grabbed Luo Yuan's arm tightly. She muttered, "Brother Luo, don't go!"
Among the women, Wang Shishi was the one who was most attached to him. Compared to Zhao Yali and Huang Jiahui, who were gentle like water, Wang Shishi seemed to be passionate and obsessed with him.
Luo Yuan sighed and carefully moved Wang Shishi's arm away. He got up and put on his clothes. He then took the Zhanmadao that he had just synthesized yesterday and opened the door gently.
Wang Jing had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa. However, looking at her bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that she had not slept at all. For a woman who woke up late every day, it was hard for her to not sleep in the middle of the night.
When she saw Luo Yuan coming out, she stood up and said, "The bag is here, what else do you need?"
She could not help but yawn after she said that, but she still stayed by his side.
It was a multi-purpose bag that was more than a meter tall. It was not made of cloth, but some kind of tough animal skin. It was waterproof and not easily damaged. It was bulging inside, so Luo Yuan opened it and took a look.
There were five sets of clothes and two custom-made leather tents. Luo Yuan identified them out of curiosity and found that they were light green level.
It also contained 20 kilograms of salt, a small sewage purifier, three bottles of emergency drinking water, a folding pot, a military shovel, a box of lighters, a compass, a waterproof map, and even five bottles of insecticide.
Other than that, there were some daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and even a shaver.
"Some things are extra, but I have everything I need. I'm leaving." He closed the bag.
"That's good!" Wang Jing said with a serious face and changed to a respectful tone, "Lieutenant General Luo, I wish you all the best!"
Luo Yuan nodded calmly. He carried the bag on his back and opened the door. He turned around and looked at the living room before he turned around and left.
