"The wisest person in the army? What is that?" Chu Shi's eyes held a hint of confusion.
Su Han quickly said, "Well, I just thought they would send the smartest person in the military!"
Li Chengfu said, "Yes, although we don't have a ranking of military wise men. Chu Shi is considered one of the smartest people in the Dragon Country's military. The people sent out by the military are indeed the smartest."
Chu Shi did not act humble and directly said, "It's just some meaningless rankings. Lieutenant General, you should crack down on this sort of pointless competition!"
Su Han glanced at the middle-aged man standing beside him, who was not wearing a military uniform. It turned out this middle-aged man was a Lieutenant General. If he didn't wear his uniform, it was truly hard to tell! In the Dragon Country's military, a Lieutenant General held significant weight. Since the Dragon Country was currently at peace, the military had no opportunities to achieve great merits, making it difficult for military ranks to rise to General or higher.
Li Chengfu shook his head and said, "Hahaha, a little bit of competition can motivate everyone. Also, I am now a Director. You can no longer refer to my military rank."
Su Han looked around. Was Chu Shi the only person in this special operations team?
"Director, where are the other members of this special operations team?"
Given the current transmission capacity of the portal, it could only sustain 5 people on the other side. This meant that besides Su Han and Chu Shi, the special operations team should have three more core members.
"Deputy Director Su Han, the selection of other members for the special operations team is still ongoing. After all, we need to select the strongest individuals to form the strongest team!"
"So that's how it is."
Su Han felt a little regretful. He had gotten along quite well with Li Dali and the others.
"Alright, next, Chu Shi, you will take Deputy Director Su Han on a tour of our Otherworld Development Department!" Li Chengfu said and then left.
Su Han and Chu Shi were left alone.
"Deputy Director Su Han, I will now give you a tour of the surroundings."
Chu Shi turned and led Su Han in a certain direction.
"The cafeteria here is open twenty-four hours."
In the cafeteria, many staff members were dining. 138 Reading Network.
"This is the living quarters."
The living quarters consisted of rows of dormitories.
"This is the armory. All firearms are kept here."
The thick iron gate opened, revealing an interior filled with all sorts of firearms.
"This is the research area, where scientists conduct their studies."
In the research area, Su Han saw a scientist drawing blood from a captured Tree Dragon.
"This grand hall is where the teleportation portal is located. In the future, aircraft and tanks will also pass through this hall to reach the otherworld. It is the largest hall!"
This hall occupied a vast area, larger than a football field, and had no pillars inside. On one side of the hall stood a massive metal door dozens of meters high. Su Han marveled at how such a hall could have been constructed without pillars, and could only sigh at the formidable infrastructure capabilities of the Dragon Country. Just from this hall alone, it was evident how enormous the hollowed-out mountain base was.
"Furthermore, twenty-five kilometers outside the base is a military outpost, garrisoned by a division. It has numerous anti-aircraft weapons and can protect the aerial security of our secret base."
So that was how it was. There was a visible military base on the surface, drawing the main attention of enemy spies. This secret base would be overlooked. Even if enemy agents stumbled upon it, they could be apprehended through the overt military presence.
...
After the tour concluded, it was already the next day. The other members of the special operations team had been selected through some unknown method.
A stack of documents was placed on Su Han's desk. As Deputy Director, Su Han naturally had an office, and his office was even larger than Li Chengfu's.
After all, without Su Han, this department would not exist, so it was only natural that Su Han was given the largest office.
Su Han opened the remaining files for the special operations team. After reviewing them, he felt a bit surprised. He hadn't expected to see familiar faces among them.
It was a new day, and Su Han's carrying capacity had reset. Li Chengfu politely discussed with Su Han and deemed it suitable to enter the dinosaur world again today. Su Han readily agreed.
Therefore, all members of the special operations team were summoned to a conference room for a combat briefing.
The members of the special operations team arrived ten minutes early, while Su Han and Li Chengfu arrived precisely on time.
As Su Han and Li Chengfu entered the conference room, the members of the special operations team stood up and saluted.
Su Han responded in the same manner as Li Chengfu.
Li Chengfu said, "Deputy Director Su Han, these are the selected members of the special operations team."
Su Han surveyed the group and said, "Please introduce yourselves!"
The first to speak was Chu Shi, "Chu Shi, special operations team codename is 1."
Next, a handsome man of average height, about 1.8 meters tall, said, "Ye Fan, special operations team codename is 2."
Then, another handsome man said, "Lin Dong, special operations team codename is 3."
Another handsome man said, "Xiao Yan, special operations team codename is 4."
This time, a female member said, "Zi Han, special operations team codename is 5."
This time it was someone Su Han was familiar with, "Zhou Xiaoyue, special operations team reserve member, codename is 6."
That's right, the person Su Han was familiar with was Zhou Xiaoyue. Su Han only learned from the introduction that Zhou Xiaoyue had joined. When the selection for the special operations team members began, Li Dali, Hong Xiao, Qian Jiaxing, and Zhou Xiaoyue were all indignant that this special operations team didn't directly recruit them and required a new selection.
They had no choice but to participate in the selection again. After going through numerous trials, only Zhou Xiaoyue managed to pass.
The files did not specify the selection criteria, but Su Han knew that such a selection would not solely rely on combat prowess. It would definitely consider various aspects. Otherwise, why would two female members be selected for the special operations team?
"By the way, why is there a numerical codename in addition to the name?" Su Han asked, confused.
Chu Shi replied calmly, "This was my suggestion. When the portal eventually connects to other worlds, and we encounter intelligent beings, for the sake of secrecy, we will have to refer to each other by codenames."
Su Han deeply agreed. The myriad worlds contained all sorts of strange things, like those death note books that caused death upon writing a name. Therefore, using codenames for communication was indeed reasonable. If Chu Shi hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about this matter.
"Chu Shi, you really are very thoughtful!" Su Han praised.
