Chapter 282: Special Security Team Review Meeting
Winter had long since arrived, and people throughout Kyoto were dressing in increasingly thick layers.
Huang Jiutian stood high up in the Special Security Team building. His powerful eyesight let him see the pedestrians coming and going on the distant streets.
Across the capital, preparations were underway to put up lights, flowers, and festive red decorations.
Many people hurried along, and quite a few were already dragging suitcases, setting off early for train stations and airports.
"It's already late January..."
"Yeah, New Year's almost here."
Liu Yue sighed beside him.
"So much has happened this year. Far too much! Who knows what next year will bring?"
Liu Yue was a veteran who had followed Tao Xingzhi since the Special Incident Emergency Response Security Group was first established.
Even counting from the moment its crucial founding principle, "The tenth man theory," was proposed, the department had existed for less than two full years.
They had started by feeling their way forward, then searched anxiously for direction, before gradually finding their footing.
It was only this year that they had truly begun operating efficiently-this year by Huaguo's lunar calendar.
After the rat infestation in Shencheng and the battle of Kyoto, no one in the Special Security Team, aside from the new recruits still training at camp, believed the global status quo could last forever.
Even the greatest optimists were on edge. Some experienced agents were constantly traveling deep into every corner of the country, taking shifts to secretly monitor all abnormalities.
Now, with the year drawing to a close, the Special Security Team and the military units on combat-readiness duty were busier than ever.
"At least this year, we're still absolutely confident we can give everyone in the country a good New Year!"
Liu Yue
