Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1234 Be a Flag
The commander-in-chief left the headquarters with a smile, boarded the airship, and left in a clean manner.

There were no further instructions, nor were any action goals set for the members of the Yuechen base for the next period of time.

This made everyone feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

Not only the young people, but even the veterans of the first batch, such as the technical class leaders, have the same feeling.

Looking at the silent people around the table, Gordon, who had more responsibilities on his shoulders, suddenly understood the meaning of "leader" in the commander-in-chief's mouth.

There is never a shortage of capable people in the investigation team, like the leader of the logistics squad.

Her main job is to manage and coordinate materials, but if necessary, she can take on the responsibility of "general manager of Yuechen base construction."

But she needed a purpose.

Just like the simple goal the commander-in-chief gave her before she set out for the Yuechen stronghold: "Arrange the main force and wait for me to come over."

"Okay, let's get started." Gordon broke the silence and everyone's attention was focused on him.

"The second phase of construction of the Yuechen base is on track, and the number of personnel has also increased a lot.

There are two main focuses for the next work. First, continue to build the Yuechen stronghold. The construction of the protective wall, residential area, and assembly hall are all top priorities. The headquarters can be put on hold for a while, since the commander-in-chief is not here anyway."

Everyone chuckled, and the leader of the logistics squad joked, "That can't be said. The commander-in-chief has returned to Xingchen, but you are still here, right?"

Gordon waved his hand and said, "Then let's build it. After it's built, you'll be the main person to stay there anyway."

The leader of the supplies squad: “?”

"Okay, no more jokes, leader of the logistics squad, you are fully responsible for leading the construction of the Yuechen base. I have brought the commander-in-chief to help you. Is that ok?"

The technical class leader with gray eyebrows smiled and said, "If you have any needs, please let me know. The leader of the second phase group and I will do our best to assist you."

"Come on, hahahaha!" The leader of the second group laughed.

The leader of the logistics squad let out a sigh of resignation, "Well, I thought I could finally have some free time."

Gordon smiled and nodded. "By the way, are the basic supplies in the Yuechen base sufficient?"

The leader of the supply squad picked up a booklet with dense information about supplies and said, "Although we can't say that the warehouse is full, it is enough to support the normal operation of the base.

There is no longer a need to send a large number of hunters to collect supplies; we can just accumulate them slowly.

If there are new material needs in the future, they will be released in the form of collection tasks."

After saying that, she handed over several account books and forms to the person in charge of the supply department, completing the handover of this part of the work.

"In this case, the second priority of our work can be initiated. Next, we will formally begin the investigation of the ever-frost frozen soil and the abnormally migrating group of wind-drifting dragons.

Leader of the third group, Alva, please sort out the specific investigation direction and process as soon as possible, and release it in the form of an investigation task.

Hunters are energetic guys, don't leave them idle for too long.

If the investigation involves ancient dragons or certain high-risk areas, remember to mark them. There are enough high-ranking hunters in the Yuechen stronghold, so don't be reluctant to use them."

The leader of the third group smiled and nodded, and Alva completed the record quickly.

"Do you guys have any questions?"

The heads of various departments exchanged a few words in a low voice, and no one raised any questions.

"Then let's disband."

Ansel was quite surprised when he learned from Fengying that Gordon had become the head of the Yuechen base.

Do you have what it takes to oversee the affairs of a large stronghold?

But after listening to Gordon talk about his "management style", Ansel understood.

This guy is a hands-off boss.
Such practices will cause big problems in any chamber of commerce or interest organization, including corruption, power manipulation, and all kinds of troubles.

But it is surprisingly suitable to be placed in the New World Investigation Team, or in the Yuechen Base.

Corruption? In this freezing weather, you're going to find a penguin to sell the stolen goods?

Fake? Is there such a good thing?
In this way, the work of building the stronghold is under the charge of the logistics squad leader and others, the direction of the investigation is under the supervision of the third-phase regiment leader and others, and each department can operate independently.

"So what is the meaning of your existence as 'Commander Yuechen'?" An Xier couldn't help asking: "As for your 'two work focuses', weren't they arranged by the commander-in-chief just saying it before he left?"

Gordon bared his teeth, "Maybe because I'm the only nine-star hunter in the New World?"

"."

Anhil opened his mouth and closed it again.

It's true. If the commander-in-chief's goal is to establish a banner that everyone can march around, this guy is indeed the best choice.

To put it bluntly, it is to establish a backbone.

With Gordon and Silver Edge around, even if there's an alarm saying an ancient dragon is attacking, there doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of.

The sense of security given by the commander-in-chief comes from the trust he has accumulated over decades of leading the investigation team through countless storms.

As for Gordon, the title of "Nine-Star Hunter" is enough.

Relieved Ansir chuckled and said, "I'm suddenly curious, what would have happened if you hadn't joined the investigation team, hadn't come to the New World, and hadn't even become a hunter.

How can we solve this series of troubles?"

Gordon turned his head and raised his chin to point at Feng Ying who was trying to trick snacks from Fu Fu.

".As if I didn't ask."

The leader of the third group and Alva are very efficient.

By the afternoon of the day we arrived at the Yuechen base, we had already put together a preliminary investigation plan.

Alva handed the mission brief to Gordon, "After studying the existing maps and analyzing the limited intelligence, there are currently four high-priority missions.

First of all, it is the exploration of unknown areas and the creation of maps. There is nothing much to say about this part. It is a long-term task. Just send out hunters and compilers to explore step by step.

Then, we have to track the whereabouts of the Wind Dragon, contact with the unknown beastmen, and
Well, the last one is more complicated.”

After Alva sorted out his words, he said, "In fact, according to records, before the arrival of the Ancient Dragon Investigation Team in the New World, another expedition team had come to the New World.

And there is evidence that they also reached the permafrost.”

"Huh?" Gordon raised his eyebrows. "Did those explorers you mentioned go back later?"

".No, we guess they may have died in the permafrost."

"That's it, it's a pity."

"Well, all the members of the first group know about this, as does Master Yuanye. She is currently investigating on her own." Alva adjusted his glasses and continued:
“The commander-in-chief told us about this matter, and the head of the Third Regiment thought that the whereabouts and relics of the expedition team might also be a good direction for investigation.

As it happens, Master Yuanye wrote back and gave the coordinates of her current location. It would be best if we could send a few hunters to investigate with her."

“I understand. It is crucial to issue the task of exploring the surrounding environment and drawing maps as soon as possible. This is the basis for subsequent actions.

As for tracking the Wind Drifting Dragons, contacting the Orcs, and searching for clues left by the expedition team, just assign them to the upper hunters." Gordon responded cheerfully.

"that."

Alva rubbed his hands and said, "There's nothing for me to do at the Ecological Research Institute. I want to go there too."

"Then go ahead. Which mission do you want to participate in?"

“I want to participate.”
