Gao Zhixian's face lit up. "Well done! Ask Xia Ming to find someone trustworthy to send it over immediately. I'll be waiting in the lab."

"I'll send someone to deliver it." Wu Anbang spoke at the right time. He also looked at the man next to Gao Zhixian and said, "I didn't expect that Captain Wu is back. If Captain Wu doesn't have any missions recently, why don't you come to Jinling to help?"

Seeing that everyone except herself seemed to know each other, Lin Manman just shut up and observed.

Gao Zhixian was reminded by Wu Anbang and remembered that there was someone beside him. He patted his forehead.

"Manman, I forgot to introduce you. This is our senior brother, Wu Jingfeng, the captain of the alliance expedition team. Didn't the teacher tell you before that the senior brother went to the secret realm? He happened to come back today. If he hadn't come back and interrupted my research, I wouldn't have discovered the news Xia Ming gave me."

Lin Manman's eyes widened in shock again. This hairy, unkempt, and extremely burly man turned out to be the only senior brother she had never met?

"Hello, Senior Brother!" When Lin Manman heard that Senior Brother was the chief of the Alliance Expedition Team, she was in awe. She felt that this Senior Brother could send her away with just one punch without any special abilities.

Lin Manman held Xiao Qi in her arms and looked around secretly. Those present were either high-ranking military officials or important members of the alliance. She was an ordinary professional who was still growing up, and she felt uneasy being caught in the middle.

"How old is junior sister this year?" Wu Jingfeng saw Lin Manman when Gao Zhixian made the video call. She looked a little dazed as she chatted with Gao Zhixian.

Lin Manman was stunned by the question, "I just turned 15 this year."

Weren't we just talking about business? How did the topic get to her age?

Wu Jingfeng nodded and said nothing. Seeing that he had no intention of saying more, Gao Zhixian started to learn about the news about the spirit beast with Lin Manman again.

Lin Manman repeated to Gao Zhixian what she had just said to Wu Anbang.

Gao Zhixian frowned, and although his expression was not good-looking, it was not as gloomy as Wu Anbang's. Wu Jingfeng, however, snorted and laughed.

"It's because China has been silent for too long that these snakes and rats dare to come out to the surface again."

Seeing that Lin Manman looked confused but dared not say anything, Gao Zhixian wanted to clear her confusion. "Although illegal research on spirit beasts is strictly prohibited in China in recent years, there are precedents outside China. Even some official forces of some countries are involved. More than 20 years ago, there were attempts to use the deformed spirit beasts they had researched to launch a beast attack on Chinese cities."

"Unfortunately, the beast tide was wiped out by the alliance's strong men before it even approached the city's high walls. This battle has intimidated the surrounding areas for more than 20 years, and until now, no country dares to go to war directly with China."

Lin Manman listened quietly, and her inner blood seemed to be stirred. At this moment, she was proud of the powerful China in this world.

Information in this world is also obtained based on strength. In the past fifteen years of her life, she has been an ordinary person, receiving the most basic information education.

After becoming a professional, she discovered that there was more information for her to learn in the professional world.

What she saw today was just the tip of the iceberg of China's many pillars. The information they possessed and the responsibilities they assumed were far beyond what she could imagine now.

She was like a small boat that accidentally entered the ocean, marveling at the vastness of the ocean but also fearing its unpredictable changes.

While she was distracted, Wu Anbang took advantage of her phone call to discuss things with her two senior brothers.

"Everything else is easy to deal with, but if there are a large number of spirit beasts that can attack souls, then we'll be in trouble. You two look relaxed and don't seem to be taking it seriously. Is there something good in your capital that you haven't shared with us?"

Wu Anbang acted like a superior in front of Lin Manman, but when he was in front of her two senior brothers, he changed his face.

"The Mage Tower has indeed made some breakthroughs in its research on the soul, but it can only be used for defense, not healing." Gao Zhixian nodded in acknowledgment.

"I knew it. You guys in the capital love to play this game. It will take generations for us to get any good stuff." Wu Anbang relaxed when he saw that the most difficult defense measures had been solved. He looked like a soldier, and he was completely different from when Lin Manman first met him.

Lin Manman was a little shocked when she heard that there were mages specializing in the study of the soul in the imperial capital.

The soul is not like mental power which can be projected externally, nor like qi and blood which can be observed with the naked eye. It is recognized as the most difficult ability to study, and both the means of attack and treatment are very rare.

Gao Zhixian saw through her expression, chuckled and spoke again to explain her confusion: "There are not many public soul attack methods at present, but it does not mean that no one will study soul attacks. In order not to be controlled by others, China started to study souls very early, but the objects that can be studied are really limited, so there has been no outstanding research results."

"Okay, you brothers and sisters can discuss these topics later. I will have someone send the bodies over after I return. I don't care whether it is protective gear or something else that can defend against soul attacks, you must at least prepare enough for two hundred people for me, and bring back the people you give me." Wu Anbang interrupted him. The most urgent task was to deal with the unknown force in Jinling City first.

"The news about the soul protective gear is still confidential. I will escort it personally. You have to choose equipment from a team you trust enough." Wu Jingfeng said. His voice was deep and steady, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Also, Junior Sister was not killed today, and she even took away the corpse of the spirit beast, which may have aroused the other party's vigilance. You should act as soon as possible. I will be there in five hours at the earliest with protective gear."

"Before I arrive, you are responsible for protecting the safety of our junior sister. Manman, you can continue to participate in the subsequent competitions. I will protect you in secret."

"Yes! You are their target now. If you continue the game as usual tomorrow, you will definitely interfere with the opponent's judgment." Wu Anbang slapped his thigh, as if he was awakened by Wu Jingfeng and thought of this.

Lin Manman pursed her lips, having a premonition that the incident she had gotten involved in was definitely not something that a small person like her could participate in with her current strength. She really didn't want to risk her life and continue to participate in the competition.

"If you can help the military eliminate the hidden dangers in Jinling City, I will award you the third-class merit medal. With this medal, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask the military for help." Wu Anbang saw her hesitation and tempted her with benefits.

Lin Manman's eyes flickered for a moment. For her now, the financial reward was not very attractive. But could she get help from the military in the future? It seemed worth a try.

"I am also from Jinling. It is my unshirkable responsibility to help the military eradicate bad forces! Besides, won't Senior Brother protect me in secret? Right, Senior Brother?"

Wu Jingfeng's face, which was mostly covered by a beard, showed a faint smile. "Yeah."
