Chapter 533 – Walkie Talkie

　　Shangjing City.
　　Vigilante headquarters.
　　The crisp ringtone of a cell phone rang in the office, attracting everyone’s attention, and Ye Fan, who was sitting in the very center of the conference table, frowned and looked down at his cell phone, a puzzled look appearing in his eyes.
　　After a moment of contemplation, Ye Fan took the cell phone and slowly got up.
　　”This meeting, it’s been nine hours, it’s time to have a final result ……
　　The stakes involved, I think I’ve made it clear, so let’s go straight to the final vote below.”
　　Ye Fan’s gaze swept over the crowd and spoke calmly:
　　”The final vote on whether or not Ye Fan, the commander-in-chief of the Vigilantes, has the absolute right to command, control, and mobilize all the resources of all the living fighting forces of all the Vigilantes of Da Xia in the upcoming Da Xia crisis begins.”
　　In the silent conference room, the other seven senior members of the Night’s Watch pondered for a moment and slowly raised their hands.
　　Five votes in favor, one vote against, and one abstention.
　　Ye Fan nodded slightly and spoke in a deep voice, “In that case, in the next period of time, I will take over the Vigilantes with full authority, and all personnel and resources will need to unconditionally follow my deployment ……
　　Dismissed.”
　　Ye Fan walked out of the conference room with his cell phone and documents, came to the window in the corner of this floor, and picked up that phone.
　　”Hello?”
　　”Commander Ye, this is Lin Qiye.” On the other end of the conversation, Lin Qiye’s voice came out.
　　”Hmm.” Ye Fan looked up at the time, “You guys should have already arrived in Shangjing, right?”
　　”We’ve arrived.”
　　”The 006 squad stationed in Shangjing City still has a lot of things to deal with on their hands, you guys are free to move around Shangjing for a day, and the final confrontation will take place tomorrow morning, as for the form of the confrontation, the 006 squad side should send someone to notify you.”
　　”Commander Ye, I’m not calling for this matter.”
　　Ye Fan’s eyebrows raised, “Then what is it about?”
　　”I want to know where Senior Sword Saint has gone.”
　　Ye Fan was stunned in place.
　　”Why are you asking this?”
　　”For some reason, I got a precognition about his future ……,” Lin Qiye paused and spoke in a deep voice, “His situation is dangerous, he… . could die.”
　　Ye Fan’s hand holding the cell phone trembled, his pupils contracted, like a stone statue standing in place.
　　After a long period of silence, he slowly opened his mouth and
　　”He …… is in the mist.”
　　”Mist?” Lin Qiye’s voice raised a little, “Why would he go to the mists?”
　　Ye Fan briefly told the story over the phone.
　　”Wind God, Anta County, Fengdu, Misty ……,” Lin Qiye muttered, “How long has he been there?”
　　”32 hours.”
　　Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “Commander Ye, can we …… postpone the last examination?”
　　”Postpone the examination?” Ye Fan’s brows furrowed, “Then what, what do you want to do? Go to the mists to save the Sword Saint?
　　Antar County has been in the mists for 32 hours, do you know where it is now?
　　Even if you know its location, how are you going to survive in the mists?
　　How will you catch up with it? Can you be faster than the Sword Saint?
　　And after catching up?
　　With your strength, what can you do to help him?”
　　”…… “Lin Qiye was dumbfounded.
　　”This matter, it’s far more complicated than you guys imagined, it doesn’t just involve a city …… Behind this matter, it’s also related to the safety and security of the entire Grand Xia.
　　Don’t say that you guys aren’t a special squad yet, even if you’ve become a special squad now, you may not have the ability to participate in it.”
　　Ye Fan’s voice was incredibly serious.
　　”You guys aren’t the top combatants of Da Xia, you are the seeds of Da Xia’s top combatants.
　　And the seeds …… are the future.
　　All you guys have to do now is to grow under our protection, and one day, you’ll replace us and become the umbrella of the entire Grand Xia…
　　But never now.”
　　Ye Fan hung up the phone.
　　He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, his eyes falling towards the city outside the window with a complicated gaze.
　　Zuo Qing, who had been standing silently by his side, sighed and
　　”Although what you said makes sense, the tone is a bit too heavy.”
　　Ye Fan gazed out the window for a long time and shook his head, “I just don’t want them, to follow in the footsteps of the [Blue Rain] squad …… They are too young.”
　　”No matter what, the absolute command you wanted has been obtained.” Zuo Qing shrugged, “Are you really sure?”
　　”Maybe.” Ye Fan said indifferently, “The current Da Xia has no other choice.”
　　”What about Zhou Ping’s side, then?”
　　”Do you trust Zhou Ping?”
　　Zuo Qing froze, “He is the Sword Saint, of course I believe him, but ……”
　　”Then do you trust me?” Ye Fan turned his head to look at Zuo Qing, in his eyes was an unprecedented seriousness.
　　”Believe.”
　　Zuo Qing didn’t have the slightest hesitation.
　　”Good.” Ye Fan nodded slightly, “Then listen to me, there’s no need to mobilize any battle force to rescue Zhou Ping ……”
　　”But in case ……”
　　Ye Fan glanced at him, and Zuo Qing obediently shut his mouth.
　　”You go to the central engine room and send a message to Guan Zai, telling him to come out immediately.
　　Notify all the human ceilings except Zhou Ping to head to the border of Da Xia immediately.
　　Also.
　　Wake up Special Squad 001.”
　　Ye Fan gave several orders one after another with a serious expression.
　　Zuo Qing’s expression changed slightly when he heard the last order, “Have things reached such a serious point?”
　　”The fate of the country is at stake, we must prepare in advance.”
　　”Yes.”
　　Zuo Qing nodded and quickly walked towards the distance.
　　Waiting for Zuo Qing to leave, Ye Fan stopped in place for a moment, as if pondering something ……
　　Finally, as if he had made up his mind about something, he took a step toward the other side of the corridor.
　　He pushed open the door to the room of the Commander-in-Chief’s office and walked in, backhandedly locking the door behind him before walking over to the office chair and sitting down.
　　He bent down, pulled a key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole of the bottom drawer of his desk, turned it gently, and then opened it.
　　Inside the drawer was a palm-sized mini-safe.
　　He placed this safe on the desk, entered twelve passwords one after another, and only heard a soft sound, the safe popped open automatically.
　　He took out a walkie-talkie from the safe.
　　This walkie-talkie wasn’t big, but the modeling style was very peculiar, from the appearance, it looked like a piece of miniature pixels spliced together, rather than a walkie-talkie, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a building block made of Lego.
　　Ye Fan slightly adjusted the walkie-talkie, and a zippy current sound came out from it.
　　This pixelated walkie-talkie was actually able to work properly.
　　He gently pressed the intercom button.
　　The red indicator light lit up.
　　Ye Fan held this walkie-talkie in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:
　　”The favor you owe me, it’s time to return it ……”
