Chapter 28 Wings of Steel

Black chains spread from the glove, slowly binding the steel wings. The steel wings, which were still struggling, lost their vitality after being bound by the black chains and could only be dragged into The Disaster Containment Facility.

Then, the cold and pleasant mechanical voice that Wen Wen had been eagerly awaiting rang out. Wen Wen couldn't stop smiling; this metal wing would be much more useful than the ghost Qin Shuang.

'Hazardous item detected for containment. Proposed designation zh-0001. To be placed in the containment warehouse of the disaster zone, Room 1 for safekeeping.

The Disaster Containment Facility, disaster zone containment warehouse, has been activated…

Disaster Containment Officer Wen Wen granted access to the containment warehouse…

Awarded the position of 'Disaster Zone Warehouse Manager.'

Please collect your credentials and accompanying equipment from the Disaster Zone Hub.'

Hmm…

“It’s not in the prison within the containment facility, but in a warehouse. It seems monsters and contained items are calculated separately.”

Although it was a bit different from Wen Wen's expectations, gaining new permissions for The Disaster Containment Facility was an unexpected delight.

After tonight’s operation concluded, he would head to The Disaster Containment Facility to see what this so-called containment warehouse was all about.

Having made up his mind, Wen Wen called an assistant and told them to quickly send Wilson for treatment.

Then, Wen Wen made a phone call.

“Hello, Mrs. Wilson? Your husband has been found, but he cannot return home for a while. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

At noon, all capture operations had concluded.

Both capture attempts had failed. Mr. L had not engaged in any direct confrontation, ultimately disappearing with his freakish speed.

As for the pale clown Grendy, although he was severely wounded by the combination of Lin Zhe Yuan and Lin Lu, he eventually used a strange move and disappeared.

These members of clandestine organizations were all highly skilled at escaping.

However, Lin Zhe Yuan deduced that even if he could escape, he would be unable to act for a while.

“Where are Wilson’s steel wings?” Lin Zhe Yuan asked Wen Wen.

“After I dealt with him, I wanted to remove the wings, but as I was halfway through, they just disappeared. I don’t know what happened,” Wen Wen said with a serious expression.

Lin Zhe Yuan gave Wen Wen a deep look. There were traces of cutting on Wilson’s back, and Wen Wen had no place to hide the wings.

But no one had witnessed their battle, and the events could only be recounted by Wen Wen. Therefore, he suspected Wen Wen was lying.

However, even if Wen Wen was lying, he had no proof, so he shook his head and led his team back to the psychiatric hospital.

In the following days, the entire Furong River branch of the Hunter Association was in a state of busyness. The reappearance of clandestine organization members twice in a short period was not a good omen.

Especially Mr. L, who had remained in Furong River City after the previous incident, was causing Lin Zhe Yuan so much worry that he couldn’t eat. Therefore, they had to focus on tracking the clandestine organization’s movements during this period.

Thus, the Hunter Association entered a phase of intense activity, and their management of freelance hunters like Wen Wen was relaxed.

This suited Wen Wen’s expectations perfectly. At least during this time, he could focus on perfecting his abilities.

Sitting on the toilet, Wen Wen’s figure vanished and reappeared inside The Disaster Containment Facility.

Seeing Wen Wen, the female vampire immediately rushed to the front of the cell. However, Wen Wen shook his head at her. It had only been two days since her last feeding, and it wasn’t time for another.

Knowing there would be no blood, the female vampire sat on the ground in anger, her cheeks puffed out.

Wen Wen ignored her. He needed to go to the central hub first to collect the warehouse manager’s equipment and credentials, and then head to the disaster zone containment warehouse to see how the wings were being kept.

“Hello, Hub,” Wen Wen greeted the Disaster Zone Hub.

“Hello, Containment Officer Wen Wen, number 72580. Congratulations on obtaining the position of Disaster Zone Warehouse Manager,” the Hub replied, appearing in the image of a man in a suit.

“I already have a containment officer position, so why am I being given a warehouse manager position as well? Can I handle two roles by myself?” Wen Wen complained, feigning dissatisfaction, though he was pleased with the new acquisition.

“I apologize, I do not have the authority for personnel appointments, so I am unaware of the reason for your appointment. Please cherish your position and fulfill your duties,” the Hub replied, shaking its head.

No authority for personnel appointments…

So…

There was something else controlling this containment facility!

Wen Wen narrowed his eyes. Previously, it could have been explained as the artificial intelligence within the facility awakening and choosing him as the key to its revival.

But now, it seemed there was at least one other entity, unknown to Wen Wen, manipulating everything!

Wen Wen did not linger here. After obtaining the crucial information, he arrived at another side of the central hub. Similar to his previous entry into the central hub, as soon as Wen Wen stood there, the door automatically opened.

This was a place Wen Wen had visited before, but at that time, the door had shown no reaction. It seemed that only by acquiring the corresponding permissions could one further explore this Disaster Containment Facility.

Like the places where monsters were imprisoned, the containment warehouse was also divided into individual compartments, stretching as far as the eye could see.

But the cells here were not iron bars but transparent glass rooms.

At the entrance was the first containment room. Looking through the glass, he didn’t see the steel wings, only a white cube two meters square.

This white cube was likely the containment measure implemented by the facility for the steel wings.

As soon as Wen Wen approached Room 1, a sign at the entrance chimed, and a mechanical female voice said:

“Warehouse Manager Mr. Wen Wen, please complete the information for zh-0001 to improve containment management.”

A luminous screen appeared on the outside of the sign, with a slender pen below the screen. The screen displayed some information about the steel wings.

“This is another piece of technology I haven’t seen before. Where did the containment facility come from? Aliens?”

Wen Wen picked up the pen and began to ponder as he looked at the luminous screen.

There were many things he needed to complete on it, such as the name of the steel wings, their characteristics, the time and location of containment, the personnel involved…

After thinking, Wen Wen began to write: “Name… I can’t be bothered to think too hard about the name. Let’s just call it the Wing of Steel.”

“The containment location is Furong River City. I also need to write down the specific containment process… Well, I’ll just write something casually, no one’s checking anyway.

Characteristics… The characteristic is that it attaches to a person, can assist in attack, is very sharp, and very fast, but lacks strength and has a certain degree of autonomy.

Containment Officer and Administrator… Of course, it’s this detective.”
