Chapter 63 You Said I Can Cultivate Immortality Now? (Please Read, Recommend, and Vote)

Ke Cheng's heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward, standing between his worker and Bian Huan.

"Young man, could you explain what a Supernatural Research Group is? My coworkers have the right to know, right?"

Bian Huan glanced at Ke Cheng, a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Don't be nervous, Director Ke." He smiled again, but this time there was a deeper meaning in his smile. "This is a good thing."

"Our initial assessment is that some individuals possess a natural affinity for magical elements from another world. This affinity may grant them... well... talents unimaginable to ordinary people!"

To put it simply, he won the lottery.

Upon hearing this, the previously flustered workers instantly fell silent. Immediately, countless gazes, a mixture of shock, envy, and jealousy, focused on the worker who had "won the prize."

The worker was stunned; it only took three seconds to go from hell to heaven.

"This...you mean I can cultivate immortality?"

Bian Huan nodded with a smile, and the young technician's face lit up with joy; he was about to speak.

boom--

A deafening roar, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens apart, suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled violently!
The workers who had just entered the other world were terrified by the sudden explosion, their hearts pounding and their faces filled with horror!
"What's the matter?"

"Enemy attack!?"

Some of the young technicians screamed and hurriedly lay down on the ground, raising their unloaded shotguns and frantically pulling the safety. Only then did they realize that the army had not yet issued them bullets since they arrived.

"Bullets, bullets!"

"Quickly move the firing line and find cover!"

Bian Huan didn't even turn his head. He simply brushed the snowflakes off his combat uniform and turned on the megaphone he always carried.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!"

"Don't worry, everyone. It's just routine operation. Our artillerymen are providing fire coverage and clearing potential threat areas. You'll get used to this sound; you'll hear it often in the future."

He skillfully closed the other party's safety mechanism, the crisp sound of the metal clips pulling the awkward situation back to reality.

"Before you came, your superiors said that this world isn't very safe! You need to stay calm in case of an unexpected event, which is why we didn't give you bullets immediately!"

Bian Huan's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Ke Cheng.

"Gentlemen, from the moment you enter here, the weapons in your hands are not just for show; they are your only means of survival. That is why everyone must pass a shooting test."

One of the workers immediately raised his rifle and asked eagerly, "When can we get the bullets?"

Bian Huan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"soon."

"It will appear when you really need it."

"Let's go, I'll take everyone to the camp first."

Ke Cheng followed behind the group.

A sense of being watched... a mysterious call... superpowers... and the distant roar of cannons, like the wrath of a god.

He gripped the cold gun barrel tightly, realizing for the first time that this expedition might be far more dangerous, and... more exciting than he had imagined!
"Although it sounds dangerous, the soldiers seem very confident. We are all non-combat personnel and should not be on the front line of combat."

"I seem to be quite safe!"

Ke Cheng thought to himself.

The mining team's employees barely slept that night.

Or rather, no one can sleep soundly.

The occasional muffled sounds of artillery fire struck a chord in everyone's hearts. Ke Cheng touched the gun, feeling its cold touch, his mind filled with Bian Huan's words, "You've been drafted," and the image of his coworker's face, which went from deathly pale to wildly joyful.

Extraordinary power...

This word, like a fire, burns in Kecheng and in the hearts of everyone, scorching their fear and longing for the future.

……

The advance team's headquarters in another world.

Su Mingjin yawned: "Commander Man, the security work for all subsequent construction teams will be handled by your department!"

"Rest assured, Deputy Commander Su, we will definitely complete the mission successfully."

"Good!" Su Mingjin looked at Brigade Commander Fu, who had come with Brigade Commander Man: "Brigade Commander Fu, the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the Southern Theater Command has been proven these past few days, and their performance has been outstanding!"

Commander Fu didn't speak, but kept a straight face.

Su Mingjin continued, "However, data collected by the General Staff and various soldier vital signs indicate that, in cold weather, Commander Man's brigade headquarters does indeed have a 'slight' advantage in cold resistance. Therefore, I'm adjusting the deployment!"

Brigade Commander Fu straightened up: "Please give instructions!"

"Your troops are required to act as the core of the Time-Space Gatekeepers, focusing on defending the surrounding 15-kilometer area and eliminating any creatures attempting to infiltrate the area around the camp!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Su Mingjin nodded: "Comrades, the score for this mission will affect the exploration of the newly discovered savage tribe on the coastline and the southern boundary two months later."

Commander Man and Commander Fu looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were filled with the desire to fight!

If the military doesn't get any missions, some people will actually start cursing.

In addition, the exploration team encountered too many unexpected problems and faced numerous difficulties in physics, so they had to adopt a steady and cautious approach to explore the various key resources of the other world step by step.

So far, the soldiers have only been able to clarify the area within a 15-kilometer radius after their forward reconnaissance. A comprehensive core defense network is being constructed using various engineering vehicles, wired surveillance, and unmanned aerial vehicle systems.

However, to completely take control of the otherworld under the snowstorm, we still need the unremitting efforts of all the soldiers and logistics personnel.

In the past few days, the patrol team has encountered several attacks from those skeleton stubble.

Even some of the elusive skeletons were almost right up to the warrior's face when they attacked.

If it weren't for the effective shotguns and modified ammunition used on the soldiers, the first wave of mass casualties would have occurred.

Because of the snow attacks and the world's hostility towards them, everyone decided that they would rather develop cautiously and stockpile food than explore rashly.

The only unexpected thing was the daily routine of intelligence gathering and reconnaissance of the southern border, as well as the reconnaissance of the cold northern regions and coastal areas.

The boundary is very close to their camp. Nine out of ten days in this other world, the weather is bad. Half a day is extremely bad, and at most half a day, the weather is relatively good.

This point in time also marks the beginning of a period when humanity engages in more intensive and large-scale intelligence gathering.

After several days of exploration, the advance team has divided the area into more than 360 regions with priority for investigation within a 100-kilometer radius of the time portal, and has also identified more than 1,000 plants and animals with extremely high scientific research value!
Among these, the most valuable for cultural research is the wild man tribe discovered 47 hours earlier.

The tribe of wild men is located about 10 kilometers from the sea, and the straight-line distance between them is 165 kilometers. The drone located the tribe and marked it.

Because of the lack of satellite support, slight differences in gravity and oxygen levels in this world, a malfunction in the atomic clock, and strong electromagnetic interference and snowstorms, Tokyo University's beyond-visual-range attack capabilities are reduced by several times.

At a distance of 165 kilometers, even precision-guided artillery shells can deviate from their targets. The treacherous roads and the undead troops that can hide in the snowstorm pose a significant threat to logistical support.

Intelligence gathered by drones indicated that the settlements of the savage tribes had no intention of evacuating, so the troops chose a cautious, step-by-step approach to minimize casualties and enhance security.

As for choosing between the two units to carry out the mission, it will naturally depend on the progress of the mission completed most recently!
Seeing the two's high morale, Su Mingjin smiled and said, "Who can be assigned tasks depends on their performance in the near future!"

The two immediately straightened up and eagerly answered, "We guarantee to complete the mission perfectly!"

"Alright, let's first talk about the various protective measures for the infrastructure construction team."
