Atomic Girl? Please salute the commander!

"That's a correct answer. Don't answer like that again."

Chapter 102 The smile hidden behind the words

In the command room.

Jing Weiqiang, a major general of the military stationed in Los Angeles and the emergency commander of this emergency, extinguished the Xuanhemen cigarette in his hand and pressed the ashtray made of brass in front of him.

The powerful man who appeared out of nowhere not only killed the military personnel, but also caused a huge commotion. Almost all the green areas in Los Angeles were affected, and there were traces of fire everywhere.

The most important thing is that we have no idea where the other party came from. They once attacked a laboratory that housed people with special abilities and fought with special forces.

After thinking for a moment, he gave orders directly to everyone present.

"Collate the existing film and television footage and intelligence information on the opponent, and list him as a national S-level wanted criminal. Summon all agencies to prepare and do their utmost to gather information on him."

"Commander, isn't this too abrupt? The special forces team doesn't seem to agree yet." Someone beside him reminded in a low voice.

Jing Weiqiang shook his head and tapped on the document about Sequence Two:

"This guy is too dangerous and too spontaneous. We have no way of predicting his next move. He killed someone from the military, that's a fact. We'll put him on the wanted list first. At least this way we can get more information on him."

"As for the special forces, there's no need to pay attention to their opinions. I'm the commander of Los Angeles."

Those from the special forces team had been arguing with him for several days, always saying that the other party might have other intentions and could be won over.

But ignoring this kind of danger is definitely not what a commander who wants to maintain stability should do. At the very least, he should keep track of the other party's movements at all times and issue a bounty. Even if civilians discover it, they will report it to their superiors.

"Should we notify them?"

"Just say hello to them, nothing else is necessary."

People with special abilities are prone to losing control and causing social crises from time to time. The more powerful the person with special abilities, the more likely they are to cause such problems. Ultimately, Jing Weiqiang never trusted the special forces from the beginning.

How could a person with extraordinary powers who has awakened, thinks highly of himself and is about to lose control from time to time care about the ordinary people of Da Xia like they do?

To ordinary people, they are aliens, but to people with special abilities, ordinary people are also aliens.

Even though the country has the precedent of Valkyrie, it is only an isolated case. Successful cases are difficult to replicate, not to mention that the central government paid a huge price to stabilize her.

Putting the security of the country in the hands of people with special abilities will never provide long-term peace of mind. To truly defend Luocheng and the basic security of Daxia, we still have to rely on strictly trained soldiers.

Jing Weiqiang estimated silently in his heart.

Those who dare not show up in public must be those with unpredictable minds, strange behaviors, and who always want to kill people and have difficulty controlling themselves from time to time.

This is a ticking time bomb.

The wanted order can be issued or removed, but now it is a better choice to collect information from the public with the help of rewards.

Jing Weiqiang put aside the information about Sequence Two for the time being, pointed at the map of Los Angeles, and arranged the deployment of troops at various traffic arteries and centers where people gathered.

"Have we already placed our people in various places in Los Angeles?"

A lieutenant in the command room stood up and walked to his side, pointing his finger at several key points on the map.

"Reporting to the commander, the arrangements have been made. A total of three teams will patrol day and night in shifts."

"Not enough! We also need to deploy defenses along Chenghua Avenue westwards, connecting it to the pedestrian street. Don't assume that a place that exploded once is safe. The enemy could very well strike again after a gap in the defense. Also, we need to deploy an extra team in the core area of ​​the business district."

"Reconstruction of the ruins must also be put on the agenda. Without the army's help, the manpower and resources of a small place like Los Angeles would be completely overwhelmed."

After arranging the most basic patrol work, Jing Weiqiang paused slightly and reached out to light another cigarette. Since he was the commander and the head here, no one dared to raise any opinions.

He took a deep breath and added:

"When patrolling, you must be in uniform and pass through residential areas as much as possible so that everyone can see you are here. You must ensure a sense of security!"

"If all else fails, just shout slogans! Tell them that Daxia's soldiers are guarding this place at all times!"

The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation.

Jing Weiqiang was too disdainful to impose a city-wide martial law, ban travel, or stop New Year activities.

The people of Los Angeles are already very scared, and making things so serious will only arouse panic. We must be strict on the outside and loose on the inside, and while strengthening inspections at the border of Los Angeles, we must protect the security here as much as possible.

Moreover, with such a huge tragedy happening, the New Year is a good reconciler. I hope that the lively atmosphere can suppress the sad mood a little and avoid causing large-scale panic and fear.

This New Year must not only be celebrated normally, but also in a lively manner. He has already instructed the relevant departments to prepare some celebration activities, and even the fireworks party that violates environmental protection regulations has been put on the agenda.

Only by using the relaxed and cheerful New Year atmosphere to suppress the people's worries can we better overcome this crisis.

Of course, those participating in these activities must undergo strict body searches, and similar explosions must never occur.

"There are a few students who need special protection. I've already passed the photos to the patrol members. We must not let anything happen to them."

Jing Weiqiang reminded again that according to the instructions of the central government, it seems that these new people with special abilities will not be assigned to the special forces this time.

Since it was the Central's intention, even though he hated people with special abilities, he still had to protect them well.

Get all your tasks in order.

Jing Weiqiang cleared his throat, picked up the communicator on the table, and spoke solemnly to all the soldiers coming to Los Angeles through the military channel.

"Everyone, I'm Jing Weiqiang, the emergency commander for this incident. I know it's very tiring for everyone to be busy from morning till night in the cold weather on such important days as New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year."

"But this is a soldier's duty. To protect Daxia, we must not slack off."

"I would like to thank you all on behalf of the people of Los Angeles."

"Of course, I won't just sit in the command room. I will stick to my patrol post with everyone until the situation stabilizes."

His words were so firm that they reached the ears of all the busy soldiers.

……

"Ah-"

A loud voice came from the apartment in Xingfu Community.

Su Yi, who is described as "unpredictable in mind, strange in behavior, always wanting to kill people, and having difficulty controlling himself from time to time", is watching videos on his mobile phone.

Suddenly he felt a chill behind him, and even with his physical condition he couldn't avoid the urge to sneeze.

This sixth sense of being targeted was very strong, but since he had caused such a big stir in Los Angeles, it would be strange if he was not targeted.

To be honest, although Su Yi helped to overcome a crisis, solved the bomber, and saved all the students of Los Angeles High School, he did not have a high opinion of his appearance this time.

The reason was the last time he was with Guang Tongchen. In order to suppress the anti-energy bomb, he had to make the scene a little grand, but it was because the scene was too grand.

It is very likely that it has exceeded the cognitive scope of normal people. Once power is beyond human control, it will become terrifying. This has been the case since ancient times.

If he could get through this crisis with his swordsmanship alone, he would most likely be courted and thanked by the special forces and the Daxia officials. Jokingly speaking, he would most likely receive a medal for helpfulness and a bonus.

The situation is different now. When the other party is thinking about whether to win him over, he will recall his power in his mind.

I can't help but be afraid that such people will join my team. If something unexpected happens, no one can stop them.

When they think and weigh over and over again and still can't find the answer, they naturally become alert.

After all, no one can expect a strong person to always possess supreme morality and absolute justice.

In fact, it is the perfect knight Reinhard in a certain anime work. When he was practicing his so-called justice, he was still criticized by people around him, and even his grandfather and father parted ways with him.

Of course, Su Yi was not in the mood to be that kind of person.

"Buzz-"

The phone vibrated. Su Yi turned on the screen and looked at the white chat box that appeared. It still contained familiar text.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Have you decided whether to have dinner together?"

The last one is the question mark emoticon of a little penguin poking its head out. The person who sent the message is Mu Xiaowei again. He has been sending messages almost every day since the holiday.

Su Yi paused and felt that it was time to give a reply. He hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better not to run around when the security was so tight.

But his fingers typed the word "回".

Watching myself for the first time, my head and movements were different.

Su Yi also smiled self-deprecatingly.

In terms of his condition, he is much better than when he first came back. Some of his uncontrollable murderous aura and stress behaviors are now under control.

The side effects of the satiety period have gradually faded, and now is indeed a good opportunity to meet Ms. Xu.

So he stopped worrying about it and followed his heart to send the word out.

However, what he didn't expect was that the word had just been sent out.

What greeted him was a landslide and tsunami-like text bubble from Mu Xiaowei.

"Oh, finally agreed. I'll contact Aunt Xu right now and tell her about all the delicious food."

"Speaking of what you want to do tomorrow on New Year's Eve, do you have any ideas? Do you want to bring a card game like Monopoly? Then you can bring Aunt Xu to play with you."

"Yesterday I found a bag of delicious snacks in the supermarket. They are sweet and sour and taste great. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, we've all been staying up all night together. You're not going home in the middle of the night, are you? Should I tell Aunt Xu to prepare the room in advance?"

"But it seems that she can arrange it well without me telling her."

"Oh, by the way, Happy New Year in advance!"

"It's to wish you a happy new year, so I'll be the first one to congratulate you."

Su Yi stared at the news that kept coming in and chuckled.

For some reason, behind these paragraphs of text, he seemed to see Mu Xiaowei's sweet smile across the screen.

Chapter 103: The New Year Begins, the Year and the People Are Like First Meeting

The years have come to an end, and it is time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. It is the last day of 2024. The weather is not good today. Without any warning, heavy snow began to fall from the sky at 5 a.m. In a short time, the surroundings were covered in snow.

"It's indeed a cold winter this year..." Su Yi stood in front of the window, holding a teacup and looking outside. Ice marks as winding as branches were attached to the window glass. He pinched his chin and thought.

In the past two years, due to climate warming, the temperature has been above zero during the New Year holidays, and heavy snowfall is rare.

Of course, he had no idea what it was like before. The last time he celebrated the New Year was 10 years ago. He had long forgotten whether it snowed or not. All this news was reported on TV news.

Rumor has it that a cold wave is about to pass through and the temperature will only get lower.

"Sir, are you going out today?" Lolixi also imitated him, holding her own small teacup, took a sip from it, and then asked.

"Well, when we go out, you can choose to follow me or stay home."

Su Yi glanced to his side, where he saw someone rubbing his hands on the hot wall of a cup, feeling the warmth coming from it.

It was right to buy a small teacup for Lolisi. Tea is the most common and convenient beverage on Blue Star. No matter when you serve a cup of tea, you will appear to be well-educated.

As for the pattern of the teacup, he carefully selected it. It was from a movie called Minions. The big-eyed and cute Minions showed two teeth, which was very adorable and very consistent with the girl's temperament. In addition, in the setting, both of them are very loyal subordinates.

"Lolita has to go. Lolita has to stay with the commander." The girl raised her little head, leaned close to his shoulder, and said firmly.

At this moment, outside the window, white snow was falling. Since ancient times, it has been praised as a symbol of purity and flawlessness. Compared with his skin, it pales in comparison.

"Okay, then just follow along. Ms. Xu should be able to make a lot of delicious food, and I'll secretly feed you some when the time comes. Oh, and I still need you to test for poison."

Since having Luo Lixi by his side, Su Yi's life has become much more convenient. Before, he ate instant noodles every day and would get tired of canned food.

After making the decision, Su Yi put his hands on his waist and drank the hot tea in one gulp.

Lolisi also followed his example and drank it all in one gulp.

He picked up his dark red umbrella, put one hand in his pocket, slowed down his pace and walked out the door.

In such heavy snow, the stealth function is suppressed. Snowflakes will stick to Lolisi's body, giving her a vague outline. Therefore, it is very important to hold an umbrella to reduce the number of snowflakes floating on her body, which also makes it easier to hide.

Well, there have been a lot of people patrolling recently. The city is full of people in military uniforms, with special forces and people from the military mixed together. If you don’t know, you might think Los Angeles has become a military base.

However, Su Yi felt that the fact that all activities were not banned and travel was not prohibited was commendable. It was a bit tiring for him as there were too many things to pay attention to and be vigilant about.

Moreover, he seemed to be under special protection. Whenever a patrol passed by, someone would secretly look over here, feeling very uncomfortable. However, it was obvious that they could not see through Lolisi's invisibility. As long as he blocked the snowflakes, he would not be exposed.

As he waved the dark red umbrella, it accurately blocked every snowflake that tried to get close to them, and gently pulled the girl towards him. Under the small umbrella, the bubble space of normal distance between opposite sexes was gradually flattened.

Feeling the body temperature radiating from the person next to her, Lolixi looked up at Su Yi's clear face. Today's commander was wearing a pure white sports jacket, his bangs were slightly blown by the wind, and his eye sockets were deep and very three-dimensional.

Blown by the cold wind, she felt the temperature of her cheeks gradually becoming difficult to control.

Why did he feel this way when staring at his superior? He hadn't experienced any similar reaction when looking at anyone else. If the temperature hadn't continued to rise, he would have thought the chip was autonomously triggering its self-destruction program.

But thinking back, the first time I met the commander was also on such a snowy day. I don’t know if it was because of his injury, but he felt a little colder then than he does now, or maybe it was because he was wearing thicker clothes now.

As they were thinking this, they passed by the convenience store where they first met. The store was still the same as they remembered, but this time they didn't have to fight at the door.
