Chapter 475 A Busy Day (Part 1)
Li Chenglong was very busy yesterday and yesterday, and he was busy until midnight. So today, he slept in late, which was unusual for him, and didn't get up until 8 a.m. As soon as he woke up, he felt something on his chest. When he looked closely, he found that Li Yunxi was sleeping on his chest. He kissed his daughter's little face gently, and then slowly put her into the stroller next to him.
The baby Li Yunxi inherited some of Li Chenglong's features, such as her light blonde baby hair, fair skin, and red pupil in her right eye. It's worth mentioning that after Li Chenglong became an Awakened One, especially after reaching level 12, his skin became very fair, even fairer than Yunlan's.
However, he was somewhat satisfied that his skin wasn't pale; otherwise, it would have looked too strange, even a bit ugly. The postpartum nanny, Song Yixin, is currently living at home to take care of the little one. Su Xi is currently looking after Li Yunhao, while Song Yixin helps care for Li Yunxi. Li Chenglong told Yunlan yesterday that since he's back, she should get some rest so she can spend more time with the children.
It's worth mentioning that, with Erica's help, Yunxi also temporarily sealed some of her abilities. As she grows up, these sealed abilities will gradually be unlocked.
After quickly washing up and chatting with Li Yunhao for a while, Li Chenglong left home to go to his office. Yunlan had just gone to her parents' house; since both families lived on the same floor, she would be back soon.
Entering the city lord's assistant's office, Li Chenglong greeted Wang Jie and Pei Ji, telling them to bring him any matters that needed handling immediately, and he would take care of them right away. His schedule was quite full today: handling affairs in Dawn City in the morning, testing the latest weapons and equipment produced by the space factory with the special forces at noon, attending a meeting at headquarters in the afternoon, and then having a video conference with the highest-ranking officers of several major bases afterward.
With the help of Wang Jie and Pei Ji, Li Chenglong handled various affairs while using his personal Noah 01 notebook computer to contact the heads of various departments in Dawn City, promptly informing them of his responses to some departments.
Three hours later, after finishing his work here, Li Chenglong hurried to the Central Information Management Department located on the 8th floor of the Dawn Tower. Zhao Liying, Lü Xin, Chen Xiaoke and Qin Mengyao were the four people working here during the day.
Upon seeing Li Chenglong enter, the four women stood up and saluted in unison, saying, "Good morning, Section Chief!" Li Chenglong gestured for them to continue their work and then went to the main computer, Lilith. As soon as he sat down at his desk, Lilith's figure appeared beside him, and various kinds of information appeared on the large screen of the main computer.
Besides these things, there were some matters that required his personal attention. Li Chenglong didn't waste any time and discussed them with Lilith and Deputy Section Chief Zhao Liying while dealing with these matters. By the time they were finished, it was already 12:20 PM.
Zhao Liying glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Captain Li, it's past lunchtime now. We just ordered food from the canteen. Would you like to eat together?"
Li Chenglong glanced at the crystal watch on his left wrist and shook his head: "No, the special forces and I arranged last night to test the new weapon at 12:30 today, so I don't have time to eat with you. You can eat by yourselves. I have to leave now."
Chen Xiaoke stopped Li Chenglong: "Section Chief, this is a pancake with exotic beast meat that the four of us ordered for you. It's very nutritious. Since you can't sit down and eat with us, just take it and eat it as you walk."
Li Chenglong looked at the four women staring at him, nodded vigorously, took the two meat-filled pancakes, and then said with a smile, "Then I shall accept your offer. Alright, you all finish eating and get some rest. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he walked out of the central information management department, eating a meat-filled pancake as he went downstairs; it tasted quite good. Currently, for security reasons, a shielding system has been installed inside the Dawn Tower, preventing any spatial jumps. This is mainly to prevent dimensional beings from directly entering the Dawn Tower via jumps. Therefore, Li Chenglong must now leave the Dawn Tower before he can use spatial teleportation to reach the rendezvous point.
His agreed meeting place with the special forces was the mecha testing ground. This testing ground was very large, covering a full 30 square kilometers, where the mecha troops conducted training, weapons testing, and performance testing. Moreover, it was located in the northwest of Dawn City, far from residential areas, so it would not affect the production and lives of ordinary people.
The special operations team currently consists of 50 members, all of whom are level 11 ability users. The team leader is Yang Liu, the deputy leader is Wang Shuang, and the instructor is Jin Mengqi. Wu Ruilan was transferred to the First Army by Yun Lan for certain reasons and is now serving as the deputy commander of a regiment in the 1st Division of the First Army.
It's worth mentioning that the special forces now also have a level 12 ability user, namely Liu Ruyan, a level 12 triple ability user of water, fire, and earth elements. She is 36 years old this year. Before the apocalypse, she was a high school principal. After the apocalypse, she was bitten by a student while leading the students to evacuate, and later became a triple ability user.
For the past two years, she has been at the Clearwater Base, gradually becoming a strong member through her strong personality and continuous efforts. A few months ago, after the Clearwater Base was destroyed by the Void Creatures, she and the others came to Dawn City and, after passing the screening process, joined the Special Forces team, where she has now become an indispensable member.
When Li Chenglong arrived at the entrance, the entire special forces team was already lined up to welcome him. He greeted each member of the team, and Yang Liu gave brief introductions to some of the unfamiliar faces.
In the past six months, the special forces team has suffered considerable losses in the battle against the void creatures, with fifteen soldiers sacrificing their lives on the front lines. To ensure the special forces team's strength and facilitate the execution of special missions, Yunlan provided them with certain conveniences in many aspects.
After greeting each of them, Li Chenglong gave a brief speech before beginning the testing of the new weapons. A total of three weapons were to be tested: the Type 27 energy weapon, the ion sword, and the Type 25 combat suit.
Thankfully, it's a cloudy day today; otherwise, Li Chenglong wouldn't have scheduled the testing of the new weapons and equipment for noon. It's early August, and the weather is extremely hot. Although those with superpowers might not care much about the weather, being constantly exposed to the sun is still quite unbearable.
Li Chenglong took out his Level 2 multi-functional all-terrain tactical command vehicle and gave each of them a set of women's combat uniforms, telling them to change in the vehicle first. The Level 2 command vehicle used space technology and had a very large interior, making it easy for them to change clothes.
Yang Liu saw that Li Chenglong was handing out the clothes to everyone without caring about their size, so she asked, "Captain Li, everyone's body shape is different, some are tall and some are thin and some are fat. You're not even looking at them, is it okay to just hand them out like this?"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Apart from the male and female versions, there is no difference in the Type 25 combat uniform. It uses high-grade alien silkworm silk and high-grade alien spider silk, and also incorporates the latest alien-made special metal fibers, so it can change with the wearer's body."
"Not only that," Li Chenglong continued, "this Type 25 combat suit can effectively block the corrosive acid and beam attacks sprayed by void creatures. It's comfortable to wear, breathable, warm in winter and cool in summer, and easy to clean. Furthermore, this combat suit is a complete set. The men's version includes underwear of the same material, while the women's version includes a bra and underwear. In addition, the women's version also has some shaping effect, so it will definitely surprise you."
He continued, "There is a third advantage, which is that it has a built-in sterilization effect. And if there is any damage, due to the material, as long as the damage is not serious, it will slowly repair itself and return to its original state. In addition, the colors of the combat uniforms are different for different units, and the women's underwear also has different patterns and colors, while the men's underwear only has color differences."
Upon hearing this, the women's eyes lit up, and they lined up to get onto the command vehicle. Yang Liu was the last to get on and locked the door.
