“Vacation?”

Wang Congshan tilted her head, thinking. “I haven’t decided yet.

Right now, everywhere is issuing safety warnings about abnormal events. Some scenic spots are even closed. There's nowhere I particularly want to go...”

She paused, hesitating. “Maybe I’ll go to the Special Affairs Bureau’s base for an internship?”

“Eh?”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows. “Why?”

“I'm bored anyway.”

Wang Congshan spread her hands, saying helplessly, “I’m not like you, with a stable tutoring job.

Now my parents are telling me to stay home and not go out if I can help it. It’s best to stay home.

If I intern at the Special Affairs Bureau, my cousin can take care of me there, and they can feel a little more at ease when they're not home.

And I can get paid for interning at the Special Affairs Bureau...”

Li Ang clicked his tongue. The salary for an intern at the Special Affairs Bureau was considered generous, even in Yin City.

If this internship wasn't limited to high school students, college students, and recent graduates, many people would be tempted, since the Special Affairs Bureau base is probably one of the safest places—compared to other locations.

“It seems like the Special Affairs Bureau is expanding more and more.”

Li Ang said casually, “City high-rises, street patrols, community security, it seems like the Special Affairs Bureau's employees are everywhere, but I haven't seen them hiring on a large scale...”

“They definitely prioritize recruiting from other departments.”

Wang Congshan curled her lip. “They select elites, train them, and then put them to work. I heard from my cousin that employees from other departments have to go through looooong tests if they want to enter the Special Affairs Bureau.

Written tests, interviews, physical tests, psychological measurements, willpower assessments, and the like.

Uh…”

After speaking, Wang Congshan thought for a moment. This information seemed to be available on the Special Affairs Bureau's official website and shouldn’t be considered leaking secrets.

“My dad’s superiors recently suggested he take the exam,”

Wang Congshan placed her hands on the chair and stood on her toes. “Officially joining the Special Affairs Bureau would be different.

The targets they face would change from criminals to demons and monsters, goblins and spirits.

And if he joined the Special Affairs Bureau, he would definitely spend less time at home. My cousin is like that now...”

Wang Congshan shook her arms, looking a bit troubled. As family members, she and her mother would definitely support Officer Wang's work,

but emotionally, it was really hard to feel comfortable letting Wang Fengnian actually join the Special Affairs Bureau and face abnormal events on the front line—even if it wasn't directly facing the mutations, but assisting in investigations.

Recently, the internet has been flooded with sensational news from abroad.

Like, a mutation occurred in a German town. After a carnival night, the villagers and tourists were all trapped in the mud, merging with the buildings;

A mutation broke out in an American museum. In broad daylight, several tourists viewing oil paintings had their heads explode;

A series of disappearances occurred in a certain area of ​​Japan. The Japanese officials who tracked and investigated died one after another, with smiles on their faces at the time of death;

And these are developed countries with comprehensive news media.

In those remote and backward areas of Africa and Latin America, sometimes when mutations break out, there aren't even local official supernatural agencies that can come to support and solve them.

They can only rely on the Global Supernatural Alliance and the European Heavy Industries Group.

The Global Supernatural Alliance has naturally been extremely busy during this period.

The already strained manpower became even more insufficient after other organizations obtained the Gateways (Menfei) and reduced their support for the Global Supernatural Alliance.

Money in the real world can be obtained by selling game points,

but manpower, especially high-end talents with unique skills, is needed by every organization.

The Global Supernatural Alliance, which holds the moral high ground, is sometimes unable to do anything, while the European Heavy Industries Group takes the opportunity to supplement and occupy the former's share.

After merging Prometheus Labs and Gen-Sys Biotech, the scale of the European Heavy Industries Group reached its peak in a short period of time.

Accepting the personnel and territory of these two companies,

expanding rapidly with lightning speed,

Establishing large-scale industries in Africa and Latin America—including but not limited to office buildings, hospitals, schools, power plants, construction companies, mining companies, energy extraction and transportation companies, and private military and security consulting companies,

with its own airports, military bases, and experimental centers.

And the American officials maintained a strange silence regarding the large-scale expansion of the European Heavy Industries Group,

making players on the forum even more convinced that the European Heavy Industries Group's network of interests has penetrated into the upper echelons of America,

or, more accurately, the European Heavy Industries Group, which is too large to be summarized by Konzern, trust, or other monopolistic organizational forms, is itself an organization jointly and tacitly promoted by the European and American officials.

The interests involved behind this are so great that ordinary people cannot imagine,

but one thing is certain, if the European Heavy Industries Group is willing, it can destroy a small country at any time.

“The Special Affairs Bureau doesn’t seem to be doing anything big about this. They’re just watching the other side expand.”

Li Ang chatted with Wang Congshan casually, thinking about the international situation in his mind. “Generally speaking, shouldn’t they use some tricks to secretly damage the opponent’s strength, or divide the opponent's internal interest groups?

Could it be that something went wrong with the Qiumo Ku (Demon Imprisonment Cave), causing the Special Affairs Bureau to focus all its efforts on defense, unable to spare any manpower to restrict the European Heavy Industries Group;

Or does the Special Affairs Bureau have to ensure that no mutations occur locally before setting its sights further;

Or did the Special Affairs Bureau get something very good from this Menfei (Gateway),

so it is no longer so concerned about the international situation, or the Earth itself,

outside of its own territory...”

Menfei (Gateway) is indeed a good thing.

Li Ang observed the Xingmen (Stargate) last time. The Zerg were expanding smoothly there.

The native species on the island were fierce, violent, and extremely dangerous. Some species even had abilities that could be called "superpowers" by nature,

but in the face of the Zerg's mass-produced and increasingly powerful biological weapons, the native species couldn't afford it at all and could only be蚕食(eaten away) step by step.

In a few more days, the Zerg would probably occupy the entire island and spread the creep to every inch of the ground.

Li Ang leaned back, against the back of the chair, watching those outstanding students who were simulating combat with the instructors.

He casually thought, “If things can’t be done, and a high-intensity interdimensional war breaks out on Earth,

maybe I can let the Zerg designate a representative of the Earth’s humans and, as an alien race, negotiate with the Earth about migrating some of the Earth’s population to the Xingmen (Stargate) world...

But wouldn’t doing that be too obvious?

Well... but when the Zerg can appear in front of the Earth openly and honestly,

the Zerg and I should no longer be afraid of any schemes or conspiracies, right?”

As he was thinking, the familiar system notification sounded in his ears again.

Li Ang’s expression remained unchanged, his breathing steady, his gaze deep.

The script mission has finally come again.
