A black Land Rover slowly stopped in front of the military zone's main gate. Yu Zhibo got out of the car and walked directly towards Lin Wanjun and Commander Yang. Between his forehead protector and black mask, only a pair of seemingly listless eyes were visible.
The next moment, these eyes curved into crescent moons. Yu Zhibo smiled and said, "Yo, Director, Commander Yang, sorry to keep you waiting!"
At this moment, Yu Zhibo's voice had completely changed, becoming magnetic. Coupled with his silver hair and the green jonin uniform emblazoned with the Chinese national emblem, he looked like a real-life teenage version of Kakashi from the anime, appearing both handsome and mysterious.
"Not at all, not at all!" Commander Yang looked at Yu Zhibo with admiration. Although the young man before him was concealing his appearance, it was understandable for him to be mysterious given his important abilities.
Lin Wanjun looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Why did you bring two ordinary people in the car?"
"Oh!" Yu Zhibo said indifferently, "I ran into two children on the road who had the potential to awaken. I thought it might be dangerous if they awakened on their own, so I brought them here directly. Director, Commander Yang, you won't blame me for being rash, will you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenbang's eyes lit up. He never expected Yu Zhibo to bring two awakening seeds along with him. He immediately burst into hearty laughter, "Of course not! Such talents are always welcome. Captain Zhang!"
Following Commander Yang's command, a military officer immediately jogged over in a standard posture, stopped in front of Commander Yang, and saluted crisply, saying with full vigor, "Commander, please instruct!"
"Send someone to take the two children in the back seat to the Spirit Array House to rest. Remember, guard the house tightly and do not give those low-level black cockroaches any opportunity!"
The Spirit Array House, as the name suggests, is a house equipped with spirit energy arrays that can isolate the prying and invasion of dark creatures. The cost of building such houses is extremely high, and there are only a few in the entire military zone. They are usually used for military meetings and are very important locations.
The fact that Commander Yang immediately ordered his subordinates to take two awakening seeds to the Spirit Array House for accommodation showed how much importance he placed on Chen Bo and Yu Xiaoying, these two awakening seeds.
Seeing Commander Yang's emphasis, Yu Zhibo nodded with satisfaction.
Behind him, the intern Liu Neng looked embarrassed. He had already gotten out of the car but dared not come forward to greet them, fearing he would disturb their conversation.
To be honest, when he first heard Yu Zhibo on the phone talking about the Director and Commander, he thought the person was showing off.
He never expected that upon arriving here, the two highest-ranking figures in Ningcheng would actually be waiting for him. He couldn't help but be greatly shocked: "What is the background of this Kaka-dian!"
It was Lin Wanjun who eased his predicament. She said, "Liu Neng, your task is complete. You can return to your unit and report now!"
Liu Neng felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly, "Yes!"
Then he turned and left quickly.
It was at this moment, as Commander Yang's subordinate, Captain Zhang, was leading two soldiers to the car to get the people, that an angry cat's meow suddenly came.
It was Mo Yu, displeased that strangers had rashly opened the car door in Yu Zhibo's absence.
Instantly, the three of them paused, looking at Commander Yang in unison.
Commander Yang also looked at Yu Zhibo with a questioning gaze.
He had noticed the cat demon in the car long ago but hadn't said anything, unsure of Yu Zhibo's intentions in bringing it along.
Yu Zhibo slapped his forehead and apologized, "I forgot to report to you. That cat is my demon pet, Mo Yu, come here!"
Following Yu Zhibo's command, the black cat leaped down from the car like a black shadow and, the next moment, perched on Yu Zhibo's shoulder.
Lin Wanjun naturally knew the origin of the black cat and did not express any particular reaction, merely nodding with a smile.
Commander Yang knew that Kaka-dian was from the Sacred Bureau. Seeing that Director Lin Wanjun had no other opinions, he naturally had no objections either, and also nodded with a smile.
Seeing his sister and good brother being smoothly escorted away, Yu Zhibo suggested again, "These two awakening seeds were brought here by my ability, but they are just ordinary people with no understanding of the supernatural and no preparation for awakening. I hope Commander Yang can send relevant personnel to do some ideological work for them, so as not to scare them."
Lin Wanjun stood quietly to the side, watching Yu Zhibo's performance with a half-smile, making Yu Zhibo a little uneasy. However, since it was a new identity, he had to maintain the facade.
"Just as it should be!" Beside him, Commander Yang repeatedly nodded upon hearing Yu Zhibo's words and called for an instructor to accompany them.
With everything settled, Commander Yang looked at Yu Zhibo with anticipation, "When can the soldiers be reviewed?"
If it were ordinary Sacred Bureau personnel, Commander Yang would have just issued orders. But the man named Kaka-dian before him could be considered a national treasure. His special abilities, if revealed, would make directors of branch bureaus in various provinces fight over him.
Now that he was willing to serve the military zone, Commander Yang naturally would not treat him as an ordinary awakened person.
Even if he was merely an E-class.
Thinking of being able to identify all the awakening seeds in the military zone, Commander Yang's fists clenched slightly with excitement.
He had stayed up all night for this review. Early this morning, he had gathered over eight thousand soldiers, excluding those on important posts, on the square, ready for inspection.
"We can go now. I apologize again for being late and making you wait so long!" Yu Zhibo said apologetically.
"Haha! It's good that you're here!" Commander Yang laughed heartily and immediately led Yu Zhibo and Lin Wanjun towards the square.
As the head of the military zone, he had a broad mind. He harbored no resentment towards the young man named Kaka-dian for being late, as neither Director Lin Wanjun nor Kaka-dian himself had specified a time to arrive; it was Commander Yang who had been too proactive.
Thus, the three of them, along with over a dozen awakened officers led by Commander Yang, headed towards the square.
As they rounded a corner, the square not far away came into view. Yu Zhibo was quickly stunned by the shocking scene on the square.
On the vast square, over eight thousand soldiers were arranged in formations. At a glance, they were dense, with straight backs and resolute faces, standing majestically under the morning sun, as if cast from iron.
Yu Zhibo felt the unique iron-blooded aura of soldiers wash over him, and his body couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Commander Yang was accustomed to this scene and led the group towards the reviewing stand on the square.
Upon reaching the reviewing stand, Commander Yang's demeanor changed dramatically.
He strode forward with his head held high, began to re-organize the formation, and his voice, like thunder, boomed across every corner of the square, "Attention!"
A crisp, unified sound echoed. Nearly ten thousand people below performed the same action, coming to a halt simultaneously, and then not a sound was heard.
"Dress right!"
A series of dense footsteps sounded, and many soldiers below turned their heads in unison, adjusting their positions.
"Forward... look!" Commander Yang commanded again.
With a rumble and a splash, nearly ten thousand people simultaneously performed the foot-stomping action, placing their palms against their thighs and looking straight ahead.
And as they stomped their feet, the ground seemed to tremble.
The black cat perched on Yu Zhibo's shoulder immediately hid behind him, wrapping its front paws around his neck.
Commander Yang's expression was solemn. After standing at attention, he turned and handed over the command of the formation to Yu Zhibo, saying, "Comrade Kaka-dian, please give the order for the review!"
