The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Lu Yuan hadn't expected that Shen Qiubing was also in the Special Operations Team, and even more unexpectedly, Shen Qiubing was quite famous in the Special Operations Team, to the point that Sun Baoyu was willing to be ordered around by her.

Sun Baoyu has a six-meridian cultivation level, while Shen Qiubing has an eight-meridian cultivation level. However, Sun Baoyu has a third-grade martial meridian, while Shen Qiubing is only a first-grade. If the two were to actually fight, Sun Baoyu might not necessarily have no chance of winning.

Could it be because of Shen Fuyue?

But it didn't seem like that. Lu Yuan could sense that Sun Baoyu was somewhat afraid of Shen Qiubing, not simply because he was wary of her background.

We'll ask Sun Baoyu about the details when we have the chance.

Around 1 p.m., Lu Yuan, Shen Qiubing, and more than 20 martial artists from the Internal Affairs Department drove out of the Xingchen Building's underground area in pairs in a military jeep.

The wheels rolled along for more than two hours before we arrived at the North Gate of Chongming Base City.

Looking at the massive city wall that was over a hundred meters high in front of him, Lu Yuan's expression couldn't help but become serious.

The so-called base city is a base for human survival and reproduction. In addition to a large number of martial artists and heavy firepower, it is also surrounded by three thick and tall walls.

These walls can keep most monsters out, serving as both a basic safety barrier and a source of psychological comfort for the people.

A wall can always make people feel safe.

Boom!

Around 4 p.m., with a loud bang, the heavy metal door opened under the operation of a high-powered motor.

Immediately afterwards, a convoy bearing the Star Club logo slowly drove in.

There were a total of seven heavy trucks, all covered with black cloth. Only the last truck was so loaded that a tail-like thing was sticking out from the rear.

"Oh my god."

Whether it was Lu Yuan or the other martial artists, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw these trucks.

Although no one told them what was being transported inside, judging from the last truck, it was clearly the corpse of a monster!

Such a massive creature, what level of monster must it be? And who is it, and how did they manage to hunt it down?

"Ready to go!"

While they were pondering, the team leader's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing returned to the jeep.

Soon, at the leader's command, the jeeps driven by the martial artist blended into the various trucks. Several other jeeps were positioned at the very front and rear of the convoy.

The convoy started up again and headed back to the Starry Sky Building in a grand procession.

The special operations team can participate in the work of various departments of the club to earn points. This time, Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing are on an escort mission for the internal affairs department.

Once the materials obtained outside the city are delivered to the material warehouse in the basement of the Starry Sky Building, the mission will be completed, and you will receive 20 points.

Escorting goods sounds dangerous, but this is the city. Who would dare to rob the Starry Sky Club?

So in reality, Lu Yuan and his group were just running errands and putting on a show; those 20 points came too easily.

Imagine if you had a task like this every day, you could earn 600 points in a month.

It's all thanks to Shen Qiubing's connections and background; otherwise, Lu Yuan wouldn't have been able to find such a high-quality mission.

"By the way, are you familiar with the pharmaceutical research and development department?"

Bored on the way, Lu Yuan glanced at Shen Qiubing, who had no expression on her face, and suddenly asked a question.

Do you want to buy medicine?

Shen Qiubing turned to Lu Yuan and continued.

"Using points to redeem is already the most cost-effective way; there's no need to go out of your way to curry favor with the pharmaceutical research and development department."

"No, I wanted to borrow their lab for a bit."

Lu Yuan drove and casually said something.

To prepare Wang's Meridian Opening Pill yourself, you need two things: materials and equipment.

In terms of materials, there are no particularly rare ingredients. Lu Yuan currently has over two million yuan. If all else fails, he can sell a few more perfect versions of the Qi and Blood Enhancement Potion. He is fully capable of buying them himself.

The key issue is the equipment. Let alone a complete set, Lu Yuan can't even afford one of the high-power separators right now. After thinking it over, the best option is to borrow the machine from the pharmaceutical research and development department.

They have a dedicated laboratory with a mature and complete system.

Given Lu Yuan's current status, it's basically wishful thinking for him to go and ask to borrow the laboratory.

But if Shen Qiubing helps, through her grandfather's connections, perhaps it's possible.

"What do you need the lab for?"

Shen Qiubing frowned and looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"You may not know this, but I majored in medicine in college. Recently, I came up with a formula that I want to try."

Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't tell Shen Qiubing about the perfect version of Wang's Meridian Opening Pill.

Even if Lu Yuan were to create a concoction, he would only use it himself and would not dare to sell it to others easily.

Although he made improvements, it was still based on Wang's Meridian Opening Pill. To put it bluntly, he infringed on Wang's copyright!

The same principle applies to the perfect version of the Qi and Blood Enhancement Potion. If there is no force that can counter the Starry Sky Guild to cooperate with, Lu Yuan's best solution is to enter the Starry Sky Guild's potion research and development department, and then claim that he has perfected the formula in order to gain certain benefits.

This is why Lu Yuan has always wanted to join the Xingyao Group headquarters.

The fastest way to access the pharmaceutical R&D department is through the Xingyao Group headquarters.

At least, it's much more direct than being in a special operations unit.

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability. I thought you were a computer science major. I don't know anyone in the pharmaceutical research and development department, but if Grandpa puts in a good word, the less important labs should be able to..."

"Be careful!"

Before Shen Qiubing could finish speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly shouted and shoved Shen Qiubing's head down.

Bang~!

The next moment, a muffled thud was heard, and a bullet hole was left in the car door next to it.

There's a sniper!

Shen Qiubing opened her eyes wide and instantly understood. She reacted quickly, kicking the car door open and getting out immediately.

Lu Yuan got out of the car almost immediately after him, and casually closed the car door. The two of them kept their bodies low and hid behind the wheels.

"What happened? Why did car number 3 suddenly stop?"

At that moment, the team leader's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Reporting, leader, we're under sniper fire!"

After the walkie-talkie was restored, Lu Yuan's expression turned serious as he vigilantly surveyed the surroundings.

Fortunately, there wasn't that feeling of being watched closely; the car must have blocked the sniper's line of sight.

Squeak~!

The next moment, a sharp screech of brakes sounded, and the entire convoy came to a sudden stop.

The martial artists quickly got off the vehicle and dispersed to the surrounding area.

"Number 3! Sniper's position!"

"Approximately four o'clock."

Lu Yuan replied, then slightly raised his body, wanting to look out the car window to find the sniper's position.

Bang~!

But the next moment, just as he was about to peek out, another bullet came and pierced through the car door.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was able to sense the danger in time thanks to his superior mental strength, which allowed him to escape.

"An elevation angle of about fifty degrees!"

Although I was almost hit, I also completely exposed the opponent's trajectory, which allowed me to analyze his exact location.

At this moment, the team leader personally led two skilled individuals, who had already circled around to the other side of the road and entered a building.

Based on ballistic analysis, the enemy is located between the 18th and 20th floors of that building!
