Chapter 302 The Second Cataclysmic Beast Tide Arrives?
Chapter 302 The Second Cataclysmic Beast Tide Arrives?
Night is approaching.
Xian'er, whose soul had been completely integrated into the body shaped by the divine mountain's origin, blinked her bright eyes.
She sensed the divine essence contained within this body and gently clenched her fist.
"I'm still a little... not used to it."
Upon hearing Xian'er's voice, Li Jie snapped out of his daze and quickly walked to her side.
"woke up?"
"how do you feel?"
"It's okay... I'm just not quite used to it yet."
As she spoke, Xian'er's eyes also reddened.
"That's good, that's good..."
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Li Jie was relieved.
Just then, Nyx, who was dozing off under the shade of a tree, also came to their side.
After checking on Xian'er's fusion progress, she nodded in satisfaction.
"As expected of the spirit of the immortal sword, your soul is extremely stable. When you fully master this body, you might not even be able to defeat me."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie turned around and thanked Nyx.
Upon hearing this, the latter waved his hand gently.
"You're welcome, this is what I owe you."
"I'll be staying in Daxia for a while longer. Could you find me a place to stay?"
"Of course, there are plenty of empty rooms in the Special Operations Unit."
Indeed, Li Jie was absolutely right.
Apart from the garrison, the rooms in the core area of the Special Operations Unit's headquarters are basically empty.
Aside from the rooms allocated to the special team for rest and recuperation, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange a comfortable place for Nyx to stay.
"That's good."
After speaking, she turned to look at Xian'er.
"Rest well these few days and avoid strenuous exercise."
"it is good."
.........
In the blink of an eye, another half month has quietly slipped away.
Xian'er has completely adapted to this body, and under Li Jie's arrangement, she has successfully become the full-time secretary of the head of the Special Operations Department.
That's right, Li Jie's first choice for assistant was Xian'er after she transformed into human form.
Compared to others, the spirit of the Zhuxian Sword that has been with me through thick and thin is more reassuring.
As for Nyx, she seems to really enjoy her current life. During her time living in the Special Operations Unit, she even had Li Jie transplant quite a few flowers and plants for her.
This added a touch of warmth to what was originally a very serious military location.
The handover of the Special Operations Division Director's work went very smoothly, and Li Jie had already gained a pretty good understanding of the work that needed to be done next.
I've gradually started to get the hang of it over the past couple of days.
Today, at Ye Fan's instruction, Li Jie will participate in the personnel review process for the next training camp of the Night Watchers.
Li Jie had no objection to this, as it was something he had promised Ye Fan.
After finalizing the assignments for the upcoming missions with Xian'er, he arrived at the Night Watch headquarters alone.
When Li Jie entered, the clerk at the front desk greeted him with a smile as he called out, "Director Li."
After a brief moment of distraction, he nodded with a wry smile.
Now that he has decided to take on this responsibility, he needs to gradually get used to the title.
Upon going upstairs, they found themselves in the familiar conference room, where all the senior executives were already seated, except for Ye Fan and Zuo Qing, who had not yet arrived.
He glanced at the people sitting around the conference table, and seemingly unintentionally sat down next to the older executive with whom he had had a minor conflict before.
This made the latter feel extremely embarrassed.
After all, his buttocks had received special care from this young man.
He chuckled and was about to change seats, but unexpectedly, Ye Fan and his companion entered the conference room at that moment.
Having no other choice, he could only stop and sit back down, but the expression on his face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. I just received a progress report on the construction of the sea fortress, which caused the delay."
"Let's get started as soon as possible."
After saying that, Ye Fan waved to the staff around him, and a team of office staff in uniform placed a thick stack of personnel information reported from various places in front of the senior executives.
"The deployment of the existing Night's Watch has already begun, and orders will be received in various locations one after another."
"Next, we need to review the superpowered individuals reported from various places to see if they meet the recruitment criteria for the Night Watch."
"Here, I would like to make a request: even if the defense force is severely lacking, everyone must adhere to the newly established personnel standards when reviewing materials. Do not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of minor details."
"Alright, I'll give you half an hour to quickly flip through them before we go through them one by one."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Even the sound of pages turning seemed particularly jarring.
"Alright, it's almost time. Let's proceed in order."
About half an hour later, Ye Fan checked his watch and then called on Zuo Qing to officially begin today's meeting.
But at that very moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Night Watchman building.
"Emergency notice, emergency notice!"
"Strange fluctuations have been detected at the border of the East China Sea. It is suspected to be a mysterious invasion from the 'Klein' realm. The number of intruders is extremely large!"
"Repeated! An unusual fluctuation has been detected at the East China Sea border..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and Zuo Qing put down the documents in their hands and rushed to the combat research room without stopping.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the conference room.
"Judging from the scale described in the broadcast... could this be a second catastrophic beast tide?"
"No way... We just finished building our sea fortresses, and some of them aren't even finished yet..."
"I don't know. Let's just wait here for news. Our strength is insignificant; it's not something we can worry about..."
"Indeed, let's just stay here and do our job well..."
At this point, the veteran Night Watch officers couldn't help but turn their gazes to Li Jie, who was sitting there lost in thought.
"Director Li, aren't you going?"
"Okay, I'll go straight to the East China Sea."
After being interrupted, Li Jie smiled faintly, stood up, and walked towards the door.
It seems... they'll be back soon...
