Zhao Ming is from Shu City.
Because once in junior high school I glanced at a delinquent who didn't study, and that delinquent kicked me.
Later, he cursed twice.
Unexpectedly, it was these two shouts that led to the thug cornering him in a small alley after school.
Fortunately, the thug's homeroom teacher happened to be passing by and saved his life, telling him to contact him anytime if the thug came looking for him again.
He was very touched!
So, from that moment on, I resolved to get into police academy, become a policeman, and arrest all those hooligans who didn't study.
Unfortunately, after I got into police academy, I found that it seemed difficult for the police to manage those hooligans who didn't study.
But having already passed the exam, he had no other thoughts and simply continued his studies.
After that, not much changed.
Although studying at the police academy was tiring, I graduated smoothly and eventually passed the joint entrance exam and went to Shu City.
However, not long after he arrived in Shu City, he was shocked to see the news that was broadcast nationwide.
They say this world is actually being invaded by another world.
When he first saw it, he thought it was fake news.
It wasn't until the bureau's leaders confirmed the news in the group chat that he vaguely recalled some of the meaningful, yet somewhat incomprehensible, things his teachers had said during his time at police academy.
Only then did he have to believe it.
This world doesn't seem to be as ordinary as he thought.
After that, he thought that was the end of it, since such a general trend was beyond the comprehension of a trainee police officer who hadn't yet been officially appointed.
But to my surprise, a few days later, the bureau leaders were giving me a lot of encouragement.
They said the country was going to establish a reserve academy for the Supervision Bureau, and encouraged them to sign up enthusiastically to serve the people and bring honor to the bureau!
Thinking that he couldn't control those petty thugs anyway, he went and took the exam for the Supervision Bureau Reserve Academy right after graduating from police academy.
After a series of exams, he finally joined the Supervision Bureau Reserve Academy along with another officer who had also only been with the department for two years.
I originally thought that I would just keep cultivating like this until the local Supervision Bureau confirmed my identity and then I would join them.
But unexpectedly, less than two years later, another change occurred.
A Light Gate and Erosion Zone appeared.
Then, not long after, he, who was only at the Second Tier, was transferred into the Erosion Zone.
At first, I was a little apprehensive, after all, the sounds of the missile explosions and the roars of the Calamity Beast were real!
But later, I gradually got used to it.
And so, he cultivated to the Third Tier.
Afterwards, the academy sent some of their Third Tier students to the city walls to help defend against the attacking beast tide.
It's more about nurturing them than resisting them!
At least, that's how he felt.
However, thanks to this, he also killed several Calamity Beast and obtained several Origin Crystal, greatly accelerating his cultivation speed.
Now, his body is almost at the limit of the Tier 3, which means he can soon consider breaking through to the Fourth Tier, which is...
"Hey!"
Zhao Ming let out a long sigh.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pat on his left shoulder, followed by a cheerful voice in his ear.
"Ha, why are you sighing? Don't you want to go outside?"
Turning his head to look at his friend beside him, who was carrying a backpack just like him, Zhao Ming shook his head.
"No, it's just that I'm amazed that I have to collect the Origin Crystal myself to break through from the Third Tier to the Fourth Tier!"
"Ha, what can we do? There are several thousand people in the academy. If we provided each one, it would take at least tens of thousands of Tier 3 Origin Crystal. I doubt whether we've even killed that many Third Tier Calamity Beast since we entered the Erosion Zone," Kuang Jie laughed.
He paused, then added:
"Besides, the nation wants it, the base wants it, and then they want to distribute it to the warriors who killed the Calamity Beast. Even if we really killed that many Calamity Beast, none of it will go to us!"
"I know that, I'm just lamenting that I didn't live to see a better time!" Zhao Ming said.
"Well..."
Kuang Jie raised his hand and rubbed his chin twice.
"It's hard to say. If you had joined the Supervision Bureau earlier, you would definitely have been at the forefront. Let me tell you, I heard that almost half of the first batch of supervisors who came in were injured or killed!"
"Huh? This... is the casualty rate that high?" Zhao Ming's eyes widened slightly. He had considered the possibility of deaths, but he hadn't expected so many! It's only been a little over a year since he came here, right?
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Kuang Jie replied.
"But Instructor Wang Hu and the others are all fine, aren't they?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Nonsense, if something happened, how would I let you see it!" Kuang Jie looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Uh..." Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed. He was just shocked by the casualty rate and hadn't thought about it that much.
"Alright, let's hurry up. There are so many people going this time, so we need to move quickly to get a good spot!" Kuang Jie patted Zhao Ming's shoulder again, then strode forward.
Zhao Ming nodded and quickly followed.
The two traveled all the way to the outskirts of the city.
Because we arrived a little early, there weren't many people yet, but all sorts of vehicles were already parked outside the city.
Troop carriers, self-propelled artillery, and all sorts of vehicles, including those transporting weapons and equipment, construction robots, and building blocks.
Even though the team hasn't fully assembled yet, it already looks incredibly impressive.
The two walked towards the assembly area, and along the way they could see soldiers assisting in command, as well as other personnel walking towards the assembly area like them.
After completing the registration, finding a vehicle, and putting down their luggage, the two got off.
It's still early before the gathering time, and there's no need for them to just sit idly in the car.
"What is that person doing?" Kuang Jie suddenly pointed in a direction and asked.
Zhao Ming looked in the direction Kuang Jie was pointing.
A young man was standing there quietly, seemingly looking at something.
Before he could even speak, the outgoing Kuang Jie had already walked over.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming gave a wry smile and had no choice but to follow.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Kuang Jie asked as he walked over.
The young man seemed somewhat surprised that someone had spoken to him. He glanced at the two of them scrutinizingly, and then said:
"Information on the personnel and vehicles involved in this operation."
"Hmm? Did the academy send out this information?" Kuang Jie asked, leaning closer.
Zhao Ming, also somewhat puzzled, looked in the direction of the virtual image in front of the young man.
The projection displayed the personnel composition, resource arrangements, and other details of the operation.
In terms of total number of people...
Zhao Ming's gaze fell on a certain spot on the image.
5327 people!
"There really is!" Kuang Jie clicked his tongue in amazement.
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at the young man.
"Hey, does this list show who our supervisor is?"
