Colonia Storm Tour

This time, Hua Zhizi was completely speechless, her eyes wide and mouth agape.

The most surprising and unexpected thing is this: it is already a miracle that a survivor could survive the Eurasian space disaster with his own machinery. Now, a deputy leader of Project 9991 has survived with the last fortress base of the Foehn wind main body. He has also appeared in the almost isolated Antarctic plateau and underground in the Antarctic mountain range, and has even made contact!

"This is the miracle brought about by our profound spacetime technology. There are flowers, so we are not wandering aimlessly at sea after leaving our homeland, but heading to a paradise where we will not be threatened by memory manipulation. That is the Antarctic underground base of the last fortress. There, Alice will build an underground city for us to welcome us, the survivors from 4V."

Lin Haiyuan explained.

"…………Uh-huh."

Gardenia nodded with some difficulty, as if she didn't understand, then remembered that she shouldn't have heard foreign names in a Chinese secret project.

"Please wait, Chief Lin. Alice is the surviving deputy head of Project 9991 that you mentioned, right? This name is clearly used by a foreign woman. Why would a foreigner's name appear in China's top-secret project?"

You Huazhizi found it very strange. Logically speaking, any secret project would undoubtedly select people of the main ethnic group of the country to ensure their loyalty and prevent leaks. Foreigners, who are not entirely trustworthy, even a woman, could not possibly be involved in the project, let alone become the deputy head of the project who was almost on par with him. It all seemed very strange.

"It is indeed strange to have a foreign name, but that's the name she changed after surviving the Eurasian space disaster. Her original name wasn't Alice; she uses Alice now to commemorate a close friend."

Lin Haiyuan told a clever lie for Alice here.

"Um……"

Only after hearing Lin Haiyuan's explanation did Hua Zhizi understand. If the name was changed to commemorate a friend, then this explanation makes perfect sense.

"When you see Alice, you might not think she's Asian. That's because her mother is of Russian descent, so she has Russian blood, which makes her look quite different from typical Asian women."

After covering up the lie about Alice's name, Lin Haiyuan naturally had to cover up the lie about her appearance as well.

"The mother is Lucia? Won't the selection process exclude people whose parents are not of the Lucia ethnicity?"

Gardenia's questions were naturally numerous. As a Japanese person born in Japan who places a certain importance on lineage, and having been instilled with knowledge such as secrecy regulations, she was very sensitive to these issues.

"After a rigorous political review and investigation, it was confirmed that her mother was not a KGB spy, but a genuine young lady from a fallen Moscow noble family... At that time, the Soviet Union's attitude towards these class enemies, the Tsarist nobility, was well known, so it was impossible for her mother to act as a spy and leak the secrets of Project 9991."

Lin Haiyuan realized at this point how troublesome it was to create an identity and resume that seemed to be without problems.

"I see."

You Huazhizi felt that everything made sense now.

"Youhua, have you sorted out what's happened recently?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"Hmm, please give me a few minutes to organize the information in my mind, Chief Lin."

After Hua Zhizi finished speaking, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and seriously considered and recalled the information she had just received from her.

Lin Haiyuan didn't say anything, just watched Hua Zhizi, who had her eyes closed and was thinking, for a few minutes.

"Alright, I've understood the logic of those intelligence reports. What should we do next, Chief Lin?"

Gardenia asked with a serious expression.

Lin Haiyuan tapped his temple with his finger: "Since we plan to have our own team of magicians in the future, we must have a method to train magicians. Now that I have merged with the soul of Artemisia, I have the SSS and DEM methods to train magicians, while Youhua has the AST method. Now I plan to combine the two to form a magician training method suitable for our Burning Wind."

"So you mean we need to discuss and finalize a training program for magicians belonging to the Foehn style? No problem! So where should we begin our discussion?"

With the gardenia in bloom, she became full of energy.

"In the command center, let's start with a theoretical discussion."

Lin Haiyuan replied.

"Then, Commander Lin, let's go to the command center now."

Gardenia seems to have forgotten a fact about herself.

"Phew... You're still completely naked, even though you're covered in flowers."

Lin Hai subtly reminded her that she wasn't wearing any clothes.

"?!"

Upon hearing Lin Haiyuan's words, Hua Zhizi immediately realized that she felt too cool all over, and then looked down.

Just as Lin Haiyuan said, completely naked...

"ah!!!!"

You Hua Zhizi immediately screamed and covered her private parts with her arms. With a "plop," her fair face turned as red as a boiled lobster.

I don't recall you having any airheaded tendencies. After all this time, haven't you realized you've gone too far into hiding...?

Lin Haiyuan shook his head slightly as he got off the rail transport bed and said, "Walker.com AI will send you up after you get dressed. I'll be waiting for you up there."

"yes…………"

Gardenia responded to her in a weak, almost delirious voice.

Later, while traveling to the command center in the Commander-type Jackal mobile vehicle, Youhua Zhizi couldn't help but feel curious as she looked at Lin Haiyuan, who was sitting naturally in the driver's seat in a female posture.

"Commander Lin."

She first called out to Lin Haiyuan beside her, without directly stating the problem at once.

"what's up?"

Lin Haiyuan turned his head away.

"Why can you sit so naturally in a woman's posture, Chief Lin? Didn't you feel awkward when you were a man before?"

Gardenia looked at her with a strange expression.

"Regarding this issue, you need to remember that there are two types: is it a physical discomfort or a mental discomfort?"

Lin Haiyuan thought she had asked an interesting question.

"Emmmmm...both body and mind."

When she heard Lin Haiyuan divide the issue into two categories, spirit and flesh, her curiosity was piqued. After all, this was the first time she had ever witnessed a man transforming into a woman.

She was eager to know and understand what kind of confusion and discomfort this gender and physical change would cause men, especially since the person in question was Lin Haiyuan.

"Let me explain the physical aspect first. First, there's no way you'll feel awkward physically because the action has become a conditioned reflex and is remembered in the cerebellum. It's perfectly natural. Second, as for feeling awkward mentally, it will only be a slight sensation and then it will disappear."

Lin Haiyuan's last words seem to be a disregard for or a misjudgment of his male consciousness.

Why is it that it only lasts a tiny bit and then disappears without a trace?

With wide eyes, Hua Zhizi asked curiously, her voice tinged with childlike curiosity as she leaned closer to ask.

"I mentioned earlier that I have integrated everything about Artemisia and that her personality cannot affect me. But that doesn't mean that her memories and body are completely unaffected by me. If it were just a matter of memories affecting me on a psychological level, I wouldn't be able to sit in a female posture so naturally. But what about with her body? Artemisia's memories and her body make me subconsciously feel that this posture is normal and there's nothing wrong with it. Then, because of the chaotic connections in my memories, I associate it with the fact that I used to be a man, and it's strange to sit in a female posture so naturally."

Lin Haiyuan continued, "Then it depends on how an individual thinks about the fact that they are now a woman. If they have a resistant attitude, they will definitely feel that this is very abnormal, and then this abnormal thought will be amplified to the limit. If they do not have a resistant attitude, it will be like I just feel a little psychologically strange and uncomfortable, and that's it."

"Oh, so that means Chief Lin Haiyuan, you don't object to becoming a woman!?"

Youhua Zhizi stared in utter shock at Lin Haiyuan, who was using Artemisia's body.

"Phew... Youhua, you must remember my situation. My original body is still sitting on the life support toilet, clinging to its last breath. I can't return to my original body anytime soon, so I can only temporarily accept the fact that using Artemisia's body is a woman's. And when I meet with Ratatosk next, I can't just openly tell my ally Woodman that this Artemisia is actually Lin Haiyuan! So I can't resist or feel disgusted by maintaining the proper etiquette and manners for Artemisia. You know, the story we prepared for Ratatosk was that we discovered the lies and false dreams woven by DEM through political and ideological work, and decided to leave DEM to join either the Fenfeng or Ratatosk DEM magicians. If I do that, my ally Ratatosk will definitely see through my act."

It's important to understand that Lin Haiyuan doesn't not want to return to her original body, but the current situation simply doesn't allow her to waste time on that. There are still a lot of things waiting for her, the leader, to decide, whether it's negotiating with the ally Ratatosk or commanding the evacuation operation.

"That makes sense. So Ratatosk will figure out something about our mind technology."

Following Lin Haiyuan's line of thought, Hua Zhizi realized that it made a lot of sense.

At this moment, the Commander-type Jackal mobile vehicle stopped; they had reached their destination.

"We have arrived at the door of the command center. Let's get out of the car."

As he spoke, Lin Haiyuan opened the hatch and left the Commander-type Jackal mobile vehicle.

"Ah."

The hatch on the side with the gardenias had already been opened automatically by Walker.com's AI. She left her seat and followed Lin Haiyuan into the command center.

And so, the clockwise hand completed a full rotation as time passed, and the next day arrived.

Location: Underground meeting room of the Fenfeng barracks

When Lin Haiyuan, using Artemisia's body, entered the conference room, Xingfeng Shiyu, Xiao Yuanxun, Yuwen Fei, Xue Lianshan, Dai Hong, and Ling Yunrong all stood up and saluted her.

Lin Haiyuan nodded and extended his right hand to press down, gesturing for them to sit down. When Ling Yunrong woke up in the hospital yesterday, she only realized that the person in front of her who had assassinated Chief Lin Haiyuan, Artemisia, was indeed Chief Lin Haiyuan himself, thanks to the memories obtained through the memory recorder and the corroboration from the Fenfeng high-ranking officials. Although she found it hard to believe, she accepted the fact.

"Comrades, when you talk to Woodman, when my nanobots start talking, make sure you don't look at Artemisia, understand?"

Lin Haiyuan didn't want this small detail to give Ratatosk away any clues.

"It's x6!"

They answered in unison.

"Very good, there's another surprise coming your way. Remember what I just said: don't focus your attention on Artemisia, understand?"

After giving the Fenfeng executives another warning, Lin Haiyuan stood down, ostensibly as Artemisia, who stood to his left, like a secretary's left and right hands.

Another surprise is coming our way? What surprise? The other high-ranking members of Fenfeng were all wondering to themselves.

After Lin Haiyuan arrived, Hua Zhizi followed. After exchanging a glance with Artemisia, she stood on the right. All the precautions had already been explained in the command center yesterday.

Once everyone was in place except for Kaul, who had been transferred to the underground Antarctic base, the nanobot "Lin Haiyuan" began to speak under his control.

"Walker AI connects you to a video call with Woodman."

"Yes, Master."

After Walker responded to a procedural question, eight holographic projections appeared on the holographic projection device in the center of the conference table, facing different directions.

The holographic projection displayed "Connecting..." A few seconds later, Elliott Baldwin Woodman, sitting in the captain's seat, and Karen Mira Messer, standing behind him, appeared on the holographic projection.

They seem to be on the warship, every video call is from the warship. Are they worried about their base location being detected? Lin Haiyuan wondered to himself.

"General!"

Elliott was quite surprised to see Lin Haiyuan sitting unharmed in his seat. Not only did everyone in the 4V under the control of the Burning Wind know about Lin Haiyuan's assassination by Artemisia, but even his ally Ratatosk had been informed of this fact.

"Hello, Mr. Woodman, you didn't expect to find yourself sitting in your seat, completely unharmed, talking to you, did you?"

Lin Haiyuan said with a beaming smile.

"Ah...yes, General, I admire your vitality and the skill of the Burning Wind technique. I never imagined that you, who suffered a fatal wound, would be completely unharmed in just a few days."

Woodman’s words came from the bottom of his heart: such injuries to the heart cannot be easily healed even by a display device, and usually there is not enough time for treatment.

Now, the foehn wind has not only accomplished what the display device could not, but it is also a miracle in the history of modern medicine!
