"...In the previous battles against the Blade Beasts, the Spiritual Ability City often played a negative role. Their starting point was mostly personal interests rather than the survival of the race and the gains and losses of the collective."

Lingtong was dressed in a light blue uniform, with her right mechanical arm resting on the edge of the square table, and her left mechanical arm swinging naturally.

Her voice was gentle with a touch of firmness, and her beautiful face, adorned with the simplest light makeup, was full of seriousness and earnestness.

Her perfect fusion of beauty, elegance, and heroism was particularly striking, especially after she had equipped new synthetic skin. Although the visual impact of the mechanical arms had somewhat diminished, it also made her appear slightly less aggressive.

In the blink of an eye, she had already become an excellent spokesperson.

Wang Jixuan stood with his arms folded, leaning against the door frame, just watching Lingtong.

In front of her was a studio, and diagonally opposite to her was a host. This was a recording, using a Q&A format to convey the D5 Military's political views internally and externally.

On his way there, Wang Jixuan saw many screens in the military fortress, which alternately played speeches by Lingtong, Dongfang Zhenghong, and several other frontline commanders.

These should all be successors cultivated by Fu Jian.

Lingtong's recording session was nearing its end. Her voice became more solemn, and she looked firmly into the camera equipment, speaking calmly yet powerfully:

"The offensive we launched in the D3 Combined Combat Zone is both a direct intervention against the Biological Institute Thirteen's evil human experiments and a resolute counterattack against Spiritual Ability City's decades of trampling on human civilization's dignity!

"The flame of human civilization will continue to burn on this planet.

"We will defeat the Blade Beasts and all enemies who attempt to extinguish the flame of civilization!

"The conspiracy of Spiritual Ability City to seize the power of human civilization and oppress all of humanity will ultimately be crushed by our iron fists!

"Humanity will prevail!"

Lingtong stood still for three seconds.

The camera equipment beside her flashed slightly and then turned off its indicator light.

"The effect is good! Thank you, Major!"

"Hmm," Lingtong sighed lightly, lowered her head to organize the documents on the table, and she seemed surprised at what she saw. She looked up.

Wang Jixuan stood leaning against the door, smiling.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and she instinctively wanted to step forward but restrained herself. A hint of a smile appeared on her brows as she briefly assigned tasks to the waiting camera assistant.

Lingtong's gaze couldn't help but drift over.

Master Wang, of course, did not urge; he patiently waited beside her.

Finally;

"How come you are free to come over?"

"Stealing some leisure time from my busy schedule to visit my long-lost girlfriend," Master Wang said easily, "and also to complete a task I set for myself."

Lingtong clicked her tongue lightly: "Did you get the consent of the one you call your girlfriend?"

Wang Jixuan feigned astonishment: "Does she not agree?" M|V|L*EM%*@P&YR is the h$ome of thi@s c+h*a@pt-er.

"She's still considering it."

Lingtong took the initiative to grasp Wang Jixuan's wrist, clearly having many things she wanted to say;

but in her military uniform, it was inappropriate to express tender feelings publicly, so she said:

"Wait for me a bit, I'll go change clothes."

"Alright, then I'll wait for you to come back, and then we'll go in for the recording."

"Record what?"

"It's a secret."

Although Lingtong was a bit puzzled, she wasn't the type to press on, so she just looked at Wang Jixuan, took two steps back, turned towards her resting room, and quickened her pace before long.

She probably wanted to come back soon.

Sitting on a bench not far away, Mu Dan quietly opened the combat camera on her shoulder, sharing the footage with her secret comrade.

Mu Dan did not speak — she had great confidence in her commander's hearing.

"Sister Wan, calling Sister Wan, Number One and Number Two have successfully met, please respond, over."

"Received, we have already started arranging a candlelight dinner. I'm going to get a soft bed for my Tongtong; she's finally going to experience the joy of indulgence!"

"Uh, is that not too aggressive?"

"What era is it now, dear, the Fortress Era!" Ms. Wan sighed over the intercom, "No one knows if they'll live to see the next full moon, so why be so reserved?"

"I mean, my commander said he can't break the ban until he gains enough power, and he's deeply conservative at heart."

Ms. Wan: "You mean he's still a virgin?"

"Blunt but true."

"Ah," Ms. Wan thought for a moment, "I actually have to prepare some movies for them... really, I have to identify which films are more educational without leading them astray, oh my, I'm old, I better not awaken my own desires!"

Mu Dan blinked.

This situation, where she didn't quite dare to reply, only occurred with Ms. Wan.

A mechanical body and a senior engineer had a slightly natural opposition.

However, soon Mu Dan and Ms. Wan found out they were clearly overthinking.

When Lingtong reappeared in her classic outfit — tight jeans paired with a light gray bat shirt, with a bouncing ponytail — in front of Wang Jixuan, Master Wang indicated they should sit on the bench outside the studio.

Then, Master Wang said seriously:

"I've refined Xing Dian into my puppet, but when I control the puppet, I need to shift all my mind over, and my main body will be near comatose and need guarding.

"I'm going to use Xing Dian to give a speech and persuade the D2 Combined Combat Zone to surrender. My body here needs care... Can you look after me?"
