Chapter 315 He Believes in Me!
"The Heart of the Creator is pieced together from fragments I collected from multiple ruins."
"The function has not been fully restored, but it is already able to suppress the lower-level familiars of the Ruins."
Qin Changfeng remained silent for a long time.
Zhang Yan did not urge him.
In the reception room, only the second hand of the old-fashioned wall clock was ticking.
"...How long?" Qin Changfeng asked.
"How long?"
"You said the seal is weakening. How much longer?"
"More than seven months."
Qin Changfeng leaned forward slightly.
"Seven months?"
"The true form of the Ruins will fully descend within eight months at the latest."
"At that time, its capabilities will be beyond the capabilities of any conventional weapon."
"Even nuclear weapons won't work—it's not a physical life form, and physical attacks are ineffective against its body."
Qin Changfeng stood up.
He did not move around in the room.
He just stood there, his hands supporting him on the table, looking down at the photos.
"How long have you been carrying this alone?"
Zhang Yan thought about it.
"More than half a year."
Qin Changfeng looked up at him.
Zhang Yan understood that look in his eyes.
It wasn't anger, it wasn't resentment; it was something very complex.
It's like an old soldier seeing another person holding the position alone for half a year before he thinks to call for reinforcements.
"You brat..." Qin Changfeng's voice was a little hoarse, "more than half a year."
"He traveled all over Changbai Mountain, the East China Sea, the Golden Triangle, and Siberia, fighting countless battles with these things. Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"The timing is wrong. Even if I had said it before, you wouldn't have been able to help; it would only have added another person to worry about."
Qin Changfeng sat down again.
He tapped his fingers rapidly on the table a few times, a habit he had when making decisions.
"I must report this."
Zhang Yan was not surprised.
"But not to everyone."
Qin Changfeng said, "Once this kind of thing goes through the formal process, the moment the document leaves my hands, it becomes uncontrollable."
"Some people will want your technology, some people will want to dismantle your mech, and some people will question how a civilian like you can possess this level of weaponry."
He looked at Zhang Yan.
"So I only reported one person, my old superior, who could suppress all the voices below."
Zhang Yan nodded. "Okay."
"What do you need from the military?"
"Three things." Zhang Yan held up three fingers. "First, intelligence."
"A global network for monitoring unusual events, including missing persons, mass animal deaths, magnetic field anomalies, and large-scale electronic equipment failures."
"The military's satellites and intelligence systems are far more effective than my few reconnaissance robots."
"second?"
"Strategic contingency plan".
"In case the disaster strikes and I am unable to contain it immediately, we need a nationwide emergency evacuation and defense plan."
"There's no need to specify the reason; just say it's a 'special military exercise plan' so that all military regions have a plan in advance."
"third?"
"The Land of Cherry Blossoms"
Qin Changfeng's eyes sharpened.
"Takehiko Ito".
Zhang Yan said, "The deputy chief of staff of the Maritime Self-Defense Force was recently promoted two ranks to the position of interim operations commander."
"He has most likely been controlled by the high-ranking members of the Ruins."
"The energy monitoring data across the entire Sakura Country is unusually clean, not because there is no pollution, but because someone is deliberately blocking the signal."
"That place is a ticking time bomb."
Qin Changfeng remained silent for five seconds.
"You mean... Ruin infiltrated the upper echelons of the Japanese military."
"Not just the top management."
"That thing that got close to Ito is at least an A+ rank or higher familiar."
"It's not just about finding someone to control it; it's about building a military force that obeys the ruins."
Qin Changfeng's face darkened completely.
He picked up his phone, hesitated for a second, and then put it down.
"I can't make this call here." He stood up, picked up the documents and teacup on the table, paused at the door, and turned back.
"Zhang Yan".
"Um."
"Back with the Dragon Scale Squad, you wrote me a note—'Wear this and bring everyone home.'"
Zhang Yan remembers.
"I knew you were no ordinary person back then," Qin Changfeng said, "but I never imagined things would escalate to this extent."
He opened the door.
I will get back to you within two days.
The door closed.
Zhang Yan sat alone in the reception room and finished the cup of tea that had gone cold.
The phone lit up.
News about Nie Qingcheng.
"Are you done talking?"
"We've finished talking."
"What was his reaction?"
Zhang Yan put his phone back in his pocket, stood up, and walked out of the guesthouse.
The sun is shining brightly.
He squinted at the top of the steps, took out his phone, and replied with four words.
"He trusts me."
……
Two days later.
At 6:12 a.m., Zhang Yan's military satellite phone rang.
He opened his eyes.
Nie Qingcheng was still asleep beside him, breathing evenly, her right hand resting on his arm.
Zhang Yan gently pried her fingers apart, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and walked to the living room.
"Uncle Qin".
"That's the report." Qin Changfeng's voice sounded like he hadn't slept much for two days. "The old commander listened for forty minutes without saying a word. After he finished, he was silent for ten minutes."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
"Then he said, 'I trust Qin Changfeng's judgment, and Qin Changfeng trusts this young man's judgment, that's enough.'"
Zhang Yan leaned back on the sofa armrest, a weight lifted from his heart.
"What are the specific arrangements?"
Three things.
"First, establish a special operations coordination group, with me as the direct contact person, without any formal staffing."
Its code name is "Great Wall".
"There were only six people in the group: me, my adjutant, a reliable section chief from the General Staff Intelligence Bureau, a technical director from the Strategic Support Force Network Center, and two staff officers directly under the old commanders."
"No one else, including the commanders of the major military regions, knows about this for the time being."
"Simple enough."
"I have relayed your first condition verbatim."
"It was personally approved by the old commander—the state will not touch your equipment and technology."
"Apply when you want to use it; whether you use it or not is up to you."
"And the second condition?"
"Command of operations is yours."
"The coordination team only provides support, it does not issue orders."
"But there's one condition—if it involves the military directly participating in combat, the authorization for troop movements must go through me. You should understand that."
"Can."
"Article Three..."
Qin Changfeng paused for a moment, a hint of a smile in his voice, "When the old commander heard you say 'she's one of my people,' he was stunned for two seconds."
"Then they said, 'This kid is pretty protective of his own.'"
"Don't worry, no one will touch Nie Qingcheng."
Zhang Yan's lips twitched slightly.
"Let's get down to business now."
Qin Changfeng switched back to military mode, "I will report on the progress of the three things you requested one by one."
"First, intelligence monitoring."
"I have already instructed the head of the intelligence agency to access the military's global satellite remote sensing system and add four anomaly screening dimensions to the existing natural disaster monitoring model."
"Magnetic field distortion, cluster failures of electronic equipment, regional animal deaths, and abnormal population fluctuations."
"Coverage is currently limited to East Asia and Southeast Asia; global expansion will take about a week."
"That's enough."
Zhang Yan said, "If you open the data interface to me, I have a program that can perform secondary screening, with an accuracy several orders of magnitude higher than your model."
