Although Sun Hang knew that his recruitnt plan would be approved, he never expected it to be approved so quickly.
Early the next morning, Sun Hang's phone chid with an important ssage alert. He carefully extracted his numb arm from under Wang Xiyi's head, got out of bed, and unlocked his phone.
The Dubhe Tower and the Federation Council had already approved his plan, not only without changing a single word but also seemingly urging him to implent it as soon as possible... So council mbers even suggested that the recruitnt plan be implented starting today.
In the words of those council mbers, this not only addresses the employnt issues of disaster-affected citizens but also supplents the manpower shortage in various defense departnts of Celestial City—aside from the research institute's field operations team, they suggested that the Shuzhou Military District, Tianfu City Defense Guard, and Celestial City Public Security Bureau should follow this approach and recruit reserve mbers from the disaster-impacted populace.
As for Sun Hang's plan to recruit minors, it wasn't ntioned in the ssage, but it also wasn't rejected.
"What's going on?" Wang Xiyi groggily propped herself up, the thin blanket outlining a beautiful silhouette, and mumbled, "Is there a mission so early in the morning?"
"It's not a mission." Sun Hang shook his head.
"Then stay and sleep a bit more with ."
"But it's sothing more important than a mission." Sun Hang quickly got dressed and shoved his phone into his pocket.
"Sothing more important than a mission?" Wang Xiyi was suddenly wide awake, jumped out of bed naked, "Could sothing have happened at the underground palace?"
"Relax, relax," Sun Hang waved his hand, "It's just that my recruitnt plan was approved, and the Federation Council is urging to start recruitnt."
"Tch, I thought it was sothing important." Wang Xiyi nonchalantly stretched, not minding at all that her perfect body was completely exposed to Sun Hang, "So, do you need to go with you?"
"Today, we'll first look for a smaller refugee camp to gauge the people's reaction," Sun Hang said. "Your look is too eye-catching for a pilot test; we should keep it low-key."
"What do you an by eye-catching?" Wang Xiyi turned slightly, gently flicked the hair over her shoulder, and her slender dragon tail lightly coiled around Sun Hang's ankle, her gaze almost lting.
"Wow, where did you learn that?" Sun Hang was stunned. "Mr. Wang, could it be that you've been possessed by Bao Si?"
"What's wrong? Can't I have so feminine charm?" The tail wrapped around Sun Hang's ankle tightened imdiately, implying she might fling him out with one wrong word.
"Of course not, just joking." Sun Hang awkwardly smiled. "What I an is, your dragon horns and tail are too conspicuous. I'm worried there might be extre elents among the refugees infected with hatred... Although I know they can't really hurt you, if it causes unrest, it would be problematic."
"It's not a big issue; I'll borrow a full-body Power Exoskeleton from the Field Operations Departnt. Once it's on, you can't tell if I'm male or female." Wang Xiyi said.
"And what about your tail? Power Exoskeletons designed for humans probably don't have space for a tail," Sun Hang glanced at the dragon tail still coiled around his ankle.
"That's even simpler, just find the largest size exoskeleton and coil the tail around my waist."
...
...
Celestial City, west of the city.
The convoy marked with the emblem of the Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute slowly drove into a refugee camp with about a thousand people. Sun Hang stuck his head out the window to take a look at the large tal sign standing at the entrance.
"Sixth Temporary Settlent Camp."
A makeshift podium had already been set up before Sun Hang and his team arrived. Several vehicles slowly pulled up beside it, and just as Sun Hang opened the car door, a Power Exoskeleton over three ters tall that had been clinging to the back of the vehicle landed with a thud, closely following behind him.
"How do I look in this gear, cool, right?" Wang Xiyi's voice ca through Sun Hang's earpiece.
"Cool, cool, cool." Sun Hang agreed repeatedly.
This Power Exoskeleton resembled the power armor seen in sci-fi films. However, unlike the tal can-like power armor, the Power Exoskeleton emphasized mobility and terrain adaptability over defense—after all, the defense of humanoid chas could never surpass that of a heavy tank.
Dressed in a Power Exoskeleton, Wang Xiyi carried a 20mm portable machine cannon and stood behind Sun Hang like a personal bodyguard, leaving Ye Jiu, who got off another vehicle, montarily stunned.
"Is that guy... a bodyguard assigned to you by the higher-ups?" Ye Jiu asked in confusion. "Considering your skills, is he protecting you, or are you protecting him?"
"Not a bodyguard, it's Mr. Wang," Sun Hang explained. "I was worried her appearance was too conspicuous, so she made an entrance in this way."
"This armor is also quite conspicuous."
"At least it won't attract hate from so extremists," Sun Hang whispered. "I read an online statistic before; in the eyes of Celestial City netizens, 7.1% believe the infected are no different from the mysterious creatures."
"True, makes sense," Ye Jiu nodded. "It would be a hassle if unrest leads to a pushing or stampede incident."
"Hmm."
"By the way, I thought about your plan carefully again yesterday and felt it was sowhat inadequate," Ye Jiu said. "Even with intensive combat training, it would take at least six months to train a qualified field operative from scratch... And considering the dropout rate due to deaths or injuries... Don't you think the cost-effectiveness is a bit low? In my view, the best approach is to recruit from the various military systems, at least those people have so basic training, and many basic training programs can be bypassed..."
