Thunderstorm Asthma? I’ll Just Drain the National Power Grid!

”So... this mission, is it considered a business trip? How are the travel allowances calculated? And, the most crucial question, what’s the power grid coverage like in Black Stone Town? Are there high-power charging stations?”

Su Wanqing: ”...”

She silently turned her head, not wanting to admit she knew the money-grubbing person beside her.

Zhou Weiguo was momentarily stunned by his questions, then became somewhat exasperated.

Throughout the entire Dragon Shield Bureau, Lin Yuan was probably the only one who would inquire about such matters before accepting a special mission.

He didn’t answer directly, but his deep eyes quietly observed Lin Yuan.

”With your current clearance, this is all you can know.”

”Once you’re there, your primary task is to ensure your absolute safety.”

Zhou Weiguo said, enunciating each word.

”Secondly, it’s to investigate the truth behind The Explorer’s disappearance.”

”I don’t care what methods you use, whether you dig three feet deep or turn the entire town upside down, I want a result.”

Having said that, he clicked on the light screen again.

Two electronic authorization documents were sent to Lin Yuan’s and Su Wanqing’s terminals respectively.

”This is...?”

Su Wanqing’s pupils constricted as she saw the authorization information pop up on her terminal.

Mission Authorization: On-site Decision-making Authority

Clearance Level: Below A-rank

Description: During the mission, the authorized holder has the right to make independent judgments and handle any unforeseen events Below A-rank (excluding A-rank) without reporting. This includes, but is not limited to... activating tactical-level weapon deployment protocols.

Activate tactical-level weapons?!

This was almost equivalent to handing over wartime command of a small city to the two of them!

One C-rank, and one... D-rank.

Su Wanqing looked at Zhou Weiguo, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Lin Yuan wasn’t very familiar with the Dragon Shield Bureau’s rules and regulations, he could tell the weight of this authorization from Su Wanqing’s reaction.

On-site decision-making authority Below A-rank?

Didn’t that mean he could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn’t encounter a monster of Monarch Rank?

This power... was a bit terrifyingly huge.

This also indirectly indicated... the potential danger of this mission was unimaginably high!

”Director, this...” Su Wanqing wanted to say something.

”This is an order.”

Zhou Weiguo interrupted her.

His gaze swept over the two of them.

”Su Wanqing, you are one of our Jiangcheng branch’s aces, with rich combat experience. You will be in charge of leading the operation.”

”Lin Yuan,” he looked at Lin Yuan, ”your ability is very special, extremely special. In certain critical moments, you might play a decisive role.”

”Remember, you are partners; you must entrust your backs to each other.”

Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing exchanged glances.

Both saw an unprecedented solemnity in each other’s eyes.

Despite the numerous doubts.

Despite the unknown path ahead.

Despite the town named ”Black Stone Town” waiting silently like an abyssal beast with its jaws wide open.

But, as agents of the Dragon Shield Bureau.

They had no retreat.

”Yes!”

Both stood up simultaneously, responding in a deep voice.

A new storm was quietly brewing in the distant ”Black Stone Town.”
