Just Out for a Stroll?

Xiao Zhengyan gave a perfunctory explanation and then quickly left, leaving two secretaries with tablets to assign tasks to everyone.

The people present were all shrewd individuals. Although Speaker Xiao was trying his best to conceal it, everyone present could guess the gist of it.

After all, if it's official business, there's absolutely no need to hide it from them.

However, as long as it didn't affect them, no one present said anything.

The Baldy casually ignored the incident and gestured to Xiao Zhengyan's two secretaries to quickly assign tasks.

That being said, rather than assigning tasks, these two secretaries were more like explaining things on behalf of Xiao Zhengyan.

Apart from Li Shan and Feng Yixuan, who had sneaked in with the Team Six Captain, the rest of the people in the lounge were all deputy Captain of a certain squadron of City Direct Military.

There's no need for the city council to tell them exactly what to do; just explain the situation and let them do as they see fit.

Everyone knows this perfectly well.

"Leave the riots in the Fourth Livability City to our Sixth Team to quell."

The Team Six Captain handed the tablet back to his secretary and said calmly.

Before the words were even finished, a woman in a white suit stood up. She spoke quickly, her words carrying a decisive air. "Alright, then the First Livability City will be taken over by the Yuji Campus Field Affairs Department."

"I heard that your Yuji field operations department suffered considerable losses in the attack. Do you still have spare resources? I hope nothing goes wrong."

Originally, everyone was choosing their own tasks, but upon hearing this, they seemed to smell something interesting and all turned their gazes towards it.

The person who said this was also a woman, but she had a slightly harsh appearance and a "don't approach me" look. "It just so happens that my Chuzhong school campus is also in First Livability City, so it's more prudent for our school's field service department to take over."

"There's no need for Vice Minister Lei to worry about Yuji's matter," the woman in the white suit replied calmly.

Noticing the identities of the two people arguing, the others in the lounge looked away, unfazed.

As mentioned before, unlike Zudian, which is consistently at the bottom, the three campuses of Chuzhong, Yuji, and Zhaoxiku in the Underground City's deathmatch campuses are all in the first tier. It would be strange if they didn't have some conflicts with each other.

It's just that there weren't any students from the Zhaoxiku Campus in the lounge right now, otherwise the argument could have been even more intense.

While the two women were arguing, the Baldy sneakily moved closer to Lu Bai and forced a friendly smile.

"My surname is Jiang, and I'm the Captain of our Team Ten. You can call me Old Jiang."

Lu Bai was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the Baldy.

The Baldy seemed to have completely forgotten what he had said before, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. "It's like this, I haven't contacted you before because I wanted you to have more freedom, it's not that I don't value you..."

Lu Bai adjusted his posture. "What does Captain Jiang want to say?"

"Here's what I'm thinking. After all, you're the Captain of our Team Ten. Let's work together on this mission to suppress the riot in the Seventh Livability City. It'll be a good opportunity for you, as the Captain, to meet your team members."

The Baldy paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you think?"

He adopted a very humble posture, not at all like someone seeking the opinion of a subordinate.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit Smiling Face. Since the Captain himself had no shame, Lu Bai naturally couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.

"Can."

Since I'm pretty free right now, I might as well go for a stroll.

In fact, more than 90% of the assigned tasks were to suppress riots in various places.

After all, the main anti-government fighters in the Underground City all come from the Can Society.

Now, the Can Society's leader and hideout are gone, leaving only a handful of small members causing chaos. At most, there's a Vice President who hasn't been arrested yet and we need to be wary of him.

For everyone present, this task was indeed no different from going out for a stroll.

Lu Bai greeted Pu Xueli and the others, then followed the Baldy out of the lounge.

The two walked side by side, took the elevator downstairs, arrived at the parking lot below the City Hall building, and got into their car.

Throughout the journey, the Baldy was extremely attentive, as eager as if he were playing some kind of otome game where you need to build up favorability.

This forced Lu Bai to directly remind him, which made the Baldy tone it down a bit.

Incidentally, after the Baldy drove his compact electric car out of the parking lot, Lu Bai noticed that the crowd that had gathered near the City Hall building not long ago had been evacuated.

Instead, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers surrounded the entire city hall with a density of almost one guard every five steps.

Noticing Lu Bai's gaze, the Baldy initiated the conversation. "These soldiers haven't wasted taxpayers' money, after all. What kind of talk is it if people are stuck in traffic like before, unable to even get a car through?"

Lu Bai fell silent, finding too many things to complain about to say.

Squeak~

The Baldy slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to screech as they rubbed against the pavement.

He quickly rolled down the car window, stuck his head out, and started cursing at the girl in the long dress who was only two meters away from the hood of the car.

"Sun Wei! Do you fucking want to die? What are you trying to do, suddenly jumping in front of my car?!"

The girl called Sun Wei didn't explain, but instead anxiously shouted, "Captain, you're finally here! Something's happened to Director Shen!"

Before the Baldy had even pulled Lu Bai away from the City Council building, he notified the members of Team Ten, instructing them to head to the Seventh Livability City to take control of the situation.

In his mind, the Seventh Livability City was not dangerous at all. Even if there were some capable fighters among the ordinary rioters, the ten teams were more than capable of handling them.

Unexpectedly, what he considered a "team building" activity turned out to be an unexpected surprise.

The Baldy's face immediately darkened. "Get in the car first, and tell me slowly, what exactly is it?"

After getting into the car, Sun Wei naturally noticed Lu Bai sitting in the passenger seat. However, due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't have time to ask about Lu Bai's identity. She gave the Baldy an address and then quickly began to explain the situation.

Listening to the girl's urgent explanation, Lu Bai understood what had happened.

It turned out that the members of Team Ten received a notification from Baldy and quickly assembled in the Seventh Livability City.

To maintain control over the entire Seventh Livability City, the team members chose to disperse and each take charge of a specific area.

At first, there were no major setbacks. A large number of special agents were patrolling the streets to maintain order. Only when the special agents encountered rioters they couldn't handle would they be notified to take action.

However, not long ago, a special operations team reported that a violent group of fighters had appeared at the E3 intersection. The team members who went to deal with the situation lost contact without making a ripple...
