Chapter 188 We Unite!
Zhang Chulan scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face.
"Fourth Brother, this mission doesn't sound too dangerous, right? Let's go. With so many people from Nadutong, are we afraid of being robbed?" he said casually.
In Zhang Chulan's view, it's just protecting a dragon ball, right? With so many brothers from Na Du Tong around, what danger could there be?
Besides, when King Nathan was attacked on his way here, didn't they also manage to repel the enemy very well?
To everyone's surprise, Xu Si shook his head, pointed seriously at the members of the North China Special Operations Team inside the room, and said, "It's not us, it's you."
Zhang Chulan was stunned for a moment, then pointed a finger at his head, his face full of disbelief: "Huh? What do you mean, Fourth Brother? You mean it's just the five of us going to Nathan Island?!"
Isn't this just delivering food?!
Back in China, they could gather twenty or thirty people to attack King Nathan; who knows how many they could gather abroad.
At least they were fighting on home soil before, with plenty of logistical support. But when they go to Nathan Island to fight on their home soil, it will be the other side!
If these five people were to be surrounded by thirty or forty superhumans, they might be lucky if a few of them survived.
"Fourth Brother, why are only the five of us going? Can't the other brothers from All Directions come along? There's strength in numbers. I know the Special Operations Team is dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be this dangerous!" Zhang Chulan asked anxiously.
Xu Si shook his head and slowly explained.
“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. First of all, most of our employees at Nadutong are contract workers. We have no right to ask others to do dangerous work. But you are, after all, tenured employees, so some of the more dangerous jobs can only be assigned to you.”
Zhang Chulan opened his mouth, and for the first time, he suddenly didn't want his official position at all!
"Moreover, this mission is classified. None of us know if there are any spies among the employees of NaDuTong, so this mission can only be handled by your special operations team, which has undergone rigorous screening," Xu Si added.
Zhang Chulan scratched his head. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason.
At this moment, the five people inside the house who were about to land on Nathan Island had different expressions.
Feng Baobao continued eating her snacks expressionlessly, while Xu San's expression was stern. His past upbringing had instilled in him no fear of the dangers he was about to face! He seemed to have long been prepared to die for his country. Wang Ye remained lazily sprawled on the table, while Lu Lin, from a prominent family, calmly accepted his mission, just like Xu San.
Seeing his teammates so calm and composed, Zhang Chulan began to suspect that he himself was the one with the problem.
Dude! Am I the only one starting to get scared?
Seemingly sensing Zhang Chulan's worry, Xu Si stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him:
"Don't worry, it definitely won't be just the five of you, that would be too few! Brothers from other regions will come to our aid."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately became interested, his eyes lighting up as he asked, "Oh! Who is it!"
“The specific candidates haven’t been confirmed yet, but this mission was personally ordered by Chairman Zhao. Although ordinary employees can’t be selected, there are special operations teams from other regions that can be chosen. Tomorrow morning, members of special operations teams from other regions will also come over, and then they will form a joint team to set off for Nathan Island together,” Xu Si explained.
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said...
"Fourth Brother, you're such a scare freak! Next time you need to tell me about reinforcements earlier, you almost scared me to death!"
As long as it's not just the five of them going! Having support is good. Zhang Chulan had a deep impression of the temporary workers from the other regions; he still vividly remembered the strength of a few of them. With their help, the safety of this mission would definitely be much greater! At least it wouldn't be like delivering vegetables.
Xu Si clapped his hands and said loudly,
"Everyone, get ready. We're leaving tomorrow at noon. People from other districts will be arriving tonight, so you can meet them beforehand and get to know each other."
After saying this, Xu Si dismissed everyone to prepare.
……
The next morning, at a warehouse in Nadutong.
After making their final preparations, Zhang Chulan and the others arrived at the warehouse early to wait for their teammates for the next few days. With nothing to do, Zhang Chulan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing the Golden Light Mantra.
After all, even last-minute practice can be effective, so it's good to take advantage of the time you still have to practice a bit more.
Just then, the sound of a vehicle stopping came from outside the warehouse. Hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately snapped out of his meditation and looked towards the warehouse door. As the door opened, three figures walked in. Upon seeing who they were, Zhang Chulan immediately turned his head away in disgust.
"Hey! Zhang Chulan! You heartless bastard, you really don't like seeing us? We're old friends! If you keep this up, I'm leaving!" Wang Zhenqiu teased.
Indeed, the three who entered were Wang Zhenqiu, Ersha, and Wenshan from the Southwest Special Operations Team of Nadutong.
Upon hearing Wang Zhenqiu's words, Zhang Chulan immediately put on a smile, quickly ran to Wang Zhenqiu's side, and said with a grin.
"Brother Wang, how could I not want to see you all? Seeing you makes me so happy."
Zhang Chulan kindly took Wang Zhenqiu and the others' luggage and put it aside. He looked at the trio and asked curiously, "Hey, why are there only three of you? Isn't the Special Operations Team a five-person team?"
Wang Zhenqiu said irritably, "The three of us are enough. You can't just leave the other places to yourselves, can you? You have to leave at least a few people to keep an eye on things in the southwest."
“That makes sense, that makes sense, Brother Wang is absolutely right. It has to be you guys. The Southwest is so far away from us, yet you were the first to arrive. You really are loyal.” Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up in praise.
Wang Zhenqiu glanced at Zhang Chulan's thumbs-up and chuckled, "Actually, it's not that much of a loyalty. I was the only one who came originally, but Er Sha insisted on coming along when he heard it was about receiving the Dragon Balls."
Wang Zhenqiu was unaware that the initial draft of the plan in Na Du Tong about collecting Dragon Balls to make a wish to Shenron for a spaceship was proposed by Er Sha.
When he learned that Nathan Island had demanded the Dragon Balls from Nathan Island in exchange for establishing an overseas military base, he knew that his plan had been approved! In order to contribute to the collection of the Dragon Balls and prevent Blue Star from becoming like Katie Star in the future, Nisha had to come and lend a hand.
Zhang Chulan pointed at Wenshan in confusion: "Then why did Miss Wen come along?"
"Hey, her little lover Ersha is here, of course she has to come along, right?"
As soon as Wang Zhenqiu finished speaking, Wenshan's fist struck him hard in the face, sending him flying backward.
"Go to hell! Who's my little lover? That's camaraderie!"
