The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 208 Handover

"Damn it! I really don't understand what the higher-ups are thinking! We risked our lives to capture the Orphnoch, why should we just hand it over to those guys who can reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

Zhao Kai sat in the driver's seat with a face full of anger, pounding on the steering wheel and shouting indignantly.

Dai Yu, standing to the side, was also furious. With a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she took a deep drag and exhaled a large smoke ring.

He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! While we were fighting a bloody battle with the Orphnochs on the front lines, these bastards were probably hiding in the lounge, whispering sweet nothings and flirting!"

"After we wiped out the enemy, they just swaggered out and showed their faces, acting like they had done a great service. It's utterly shameless!" With that, he glared disgustedly in the direction the convoy had gone.

Just then, with a "whoosh," the car door was suddenly pulled open, and Zeng Qixia walked in expressionlessly.

She glanced at the two people who were still angry and said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop complaining. This is a decision made by the higher-ups. We just need to obey orders and carry them out. Other things are not our concern."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Qixia closed the car door.

Then, she turned to Dai Yu, frowned, and said, "And you, Dai Yu, put out that cigarette right now, I can't stand the smell!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yu hurriedly stubbed out the cigarette she hadn't finished smoking and quickly turned on the car's ventilation system.

Immediately, the roar of engines filled the air as Zhao Kai skillfully started the vehicle, and the entire Special Operations Bureau convoy sped off towards the base once again.

On the bus, everyone was talking about it.

"If you ask me, Sister Zeng, your Deita team is the most comfortable."

"Although they occasionally assign tasks from above, at least they have their own independent authority to execute them," Zhao Kai remarked.

"Exactly! And even when facing those arrogant guys in the military, if they don't like them, Deita's team can give them a piece of their mind without hesitation, and those guys won't dare to utter a sound! Unlike us..."

Dai Yu kept complaining.

"If I were in this situation today, the director would just keep telling me to consider the bigger picture and to put up with everything. Sigh... when will this ever end!"

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Hearing this, Zeng Qixia couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and gently rubbed Dai Yu's head, teasingly saying, "Haha, how about this?"

"Why don't you just apply to be transferred to work under me? I'll make you the deputy captain. That way, you'll have a more comfortable life, and I can take the opportunity to relax and have some free time."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yu looked surprised and gazed expectantly at Zeng Qixia.

"However... in my opinion, Director He definitely won't agree to this request, so you'd better stay put and do your job well, and try to get promoted as soon as possible, preferably with your own special operations team!"

After saying that, Zeng Qixia looked at Dai Yu with a mocking smile on her face.

After hearing Zeng Qixia's words, Dai Yu's expression changed instantly, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

"How could such a good thing happen to me?"

"The Special Operations Bureau has a limited number of armored vehicles to begin with, and currently, apart from the Kaixa armor, all the other armored vehicles already have designated users."

"How could someone as insignificant as me possibly have the chance to use them!"

However, Zeng Qixia smiled slightly in response to Dai Yu's negative attitude.

"Hehe! That's not necessarily true!"

Harbin.

Special Affairs Bureau.

Medical Department.

Ma Tao lay quietly on the hospital bed, his head slightly turned to the side, his right hand casually holding a big, bright red apple, taking a bite every now and then.

His left hand was flipping through a thick stack of documents that Hong Tao had brought him.

"So, during the few days I was unconscious, you successfully found the most suitable summoner for the Nava Armor?" Ma Tao asked expressionlessly, his tone unusually calm.

"Hey, senior, you can rest assured about how I handle things!"

“We didn’t just send anyone to fob us off. I assure you, this summoner will absolutely meet your requirements and tastes!”

Then, Hong Tao seemed to remember something important and excitedly added, "And also, senior brother! When he summoned the Nava Armor, the compatibility of the fire element with his body was simply astonishing!"

"The compatibility rate soared rapidly from the very beginning and has been steadily approaching perfection!" Hong Tao couldn't help but pat his chest proudly as he said this.

However, Ma Tao did not show much surprise or excitement about Hong Tao's description.

He placed the apple, which was still mostly in his hand, on the bedside table, then sat up.

"Alright, whatever, I'm too lazy to go through the trouble of finding suitable candidates one by one."

"Since your Special Affairs Bureau has already found the person, I won't waste any more words."

"I need to be discharged right now, is that alright?"

Hearing Ma Tao's resolute words, Hong Tao looked troubled and hurriedly waved his hand to dissuade him, saying, "Hey... Senior brother, this really isn't feasible!"

"The doctor repeatedly warned you that your injury was caused by overexertion and that you need to rest and recuperate properly for a while!"

This is the third time Hong Tao has prevented Ma Tao from being forcibly discharged from the hospital.

It's worth noting that when facing Oukser last time, Ma Tao chose to transform into Nava Armor.

Although it ultimately ended with Ma Tao successfully eliminating Oukeser.

However, it also caused Ma Tao to remain unconscious for several days before he woke up!

Moreover, in the current exploration and research of the mysterious field of elemental energy, it is truly impossible to find anyone as authoritative as Ma Tao.

That is why the top brass of the Special Affairs Bureau absolutely cannot allow Ma Tao to make any further mistakes.

Otherwise, who will deal with the Oxens that have been popping up so frequently lately?

After all, the Masked series armor is not very effective against Orcs; it is better suited for dealing with Orphnochs and Zerg!
