Chapter 2733 - Tang Ka's Commander

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After destroying the Imperium people’s evil statue, all the young people dispersed under Chu Zhiyun’s command and searched for dangerous items on the street.

Of course, they were not searching randomly. They were using special magic equipment that could capture the traces left by intense brainwaves. If an item was haunted by too many brainwave residues, it would most likely be dangerous and must be purged mercilessly.

In only half a day, they had found plenty of dangerous items from stores and museums. Most of them were fancy and useless. They were heaped up into a hill of garbage.

None of those was of any value to be collected, and they were best to be burnt up. When the fire rose to the sky, all the young people seemed to be basked in holy light like lambs and servants.

The mission became trickier next.

. 

With a few students, Tang Ka discovered a small store that sold books, but the books in the store were actually kept in jade chips.

Tang Ka hated the enemy’s jade chips more than anything else because a jade chip could contain too much information. For the lambs and servants of the gods, ignorance was often the greatest bliss, and more information meant more thinking, which might lead to more dangers and disloyalty.

Thinking was the right of the gods. Mortals like them really shouldn’t think.

However, Tang Ka couldn’t just destroy all the jade chips. First of all, jade chips were one of the steadiest kinds of magic equipment. Neither wave attacks nor fire could entirely destroy the information they contained. Dire consequences might be caused if someone picked up a jade chip that was not completely destroyed.

On the other hand, the Covenant Alliance also needed the information in the jade chips to obtain political, economical, cultural, geological, and military intelligence on the Imperium.

In the war of intelligence, 99% of the intelligence was acquired through public channels, and the jade chips from the Imperium on shelves were an important source of information.

Furthermore, after the information inside was erased, most jade chips could be reused. In the Covenant Alliance, which had a shortage of resources, it was forbidden to simply destroy these jade chips.

Tang Ka could only frown and scan the jade chips one by one while fighting against the temptation of extraterrestrial devils. Even though he had no time to read every jade chip, he had to skim through one jade chip from each category.

While Tang Ka was focused on identifying dangerous information from the Imperium, his wrist crystal processor buzzed.

His monitor was calling him.

The Holy Light Academy was a half-military school, and the students, including him, were half soldiers. His monitor was his boss. It was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to her.

Tang Ka immediately dropped his work and ran to the coordinates that his monitor gave him.

His monitor had entered a four-floored building ahead of most students.

A bomb had obviously exploded in the southeast corner of the building before, but it was still mostly intact. Even the lady on the advertisement on the outer wall was still vivid. When Tang Ka approached, the lady’s movement changed accordingly, and she winked at Tang Ka.

“What a shameless woman!”

Tang Ka snorted and quickly strode into the building called a “supermarket”.

This was really not a great supermarket by the standards of the Imperium of True Human Beings. After all, it was in the frontline of a war, and the goods inside were not as plentiful as those back in the capital.

However, for the young man of the Covenant Alliance who was used to abstinence, he was shocked and provoked when he saw a myriad of goods that were mostly wrapped beautifully. They were still glowing even after half a month of war.

Tang Ka had never seen a real supermarket in his entire life.

He had only seen supermarkets in simulation training in his class. No matter how vivid the simulation training was, it was not nearly as shocking as what he saw in reality.

“They wasted so many precious resources to make those useless items, and they even displayed the items in the windows to invoke the greed of human beings.

“What a nefarious crime! How greedy, wasteful, and sinful!

“No wonder many mentors say that supermarkets are the enhancers of human desires and the origin of sins. Even I feel tempted after I come to this place!

“Are the Imperium people idiots? They’re in a war against the Covenant Alliance, but they wasted so many resources making those useless items and even shipping them to the frontline at the cost of tremendous fuel! They’re really crazy!”

Tang Ka stared at the shelves warily, as if the goods on the shelves were hibernating extraterrestrial devils that would bite his throat aggressively at any point.

“Hey, why are you standing there? Come and purge this place with me.”

A familiar yet strange voice came from ahead. It was calm, cold, and irresistible.

It was exactly from Chu Zhiyun, his monitor, or the woman who had been sitting on his neck all the time.

Tang Ka had known Chu Zhiyun since they were born.

It was said that when they were sent to the nursery to be raised together after they left their gene providers, Chu Zhiyun was in the cradle right left to his.

After they grew up, Chu Zhiyun showed the domineering side of her character. Her gene providers were both excellent commanders. Absorbing their essence, she became a natural-born leader. But Tang Ka, on the other hand, was more accustomed to being led and the work that was more direct.

Therefore, Chu Zhiyun became the first and probably the only commander for Tang Ka, and Tang Ka became Chu Zhiyun’s first but certainly not the last soldier.

From the nursery to the ascetic school to the Holy Light Academy, they had never left each other, like how a hand and a finger connected to each other.

But they were not exactly deeply bonded. After all, feelings did not have a place in the Covenant Alliance, and Chu Zhiyun had been the standard and excellent citizen of the Covenant Alliance since childhood. At least, Tang Ka had never seen the loss of control in Chu Zhiyun’s eyes. She had always been a cold machine.

Sometimes, Tang Ka would think that Chu Zhiyun was probably long used to commanding him like waving her finger, just like he was used to being commanded by Chu Zhiyun.

He thought that their relationship would never change and that he would always be the commander’s soldier.

But things started to change a year ago.

Chu Zhiyun grew.

Girls grew earlier than boys in the first place, and Chu Zhiyun had excellent genes. So, when she was only thirteen, she bulged quickly like a balloon. Tang Ka even heard cracking noises in her limbs as if she were growing like bamboo. After each day, she would have a new strange scent, but all her scents were very enjoyable.

After a year, Chu Zhiyun was already one foot taller than Tang Ka. When they stood face to face, Tang Ka would be confronting her bulging breasts, which was a change that Tang Ka was unused to. He did not dare to look at Chu Zhiyun in the eyes anymore, because every time he looked at Chu Zhiyun, he felt that he would be drowned in the rising ocean on her chest.

“Mr. Tang Ka, what are you doing exactly?”

Chu Zhiyun’s voice was still as cold and hard as ice. Other people would’ve been chilled to their bones when they heard her, but Tang Ka was used to it and simply turned around.

He could hardly breathe after he turned around.

Chu Zhiyun had taken off her mask, revealing her cold but pretty face. She was so tall and athletic that even the largest suit available for students seemed to be too tight for her, which highlighted her body parts that were completely different from Tang Ka’s. The glittering items nearby illuminated her clothes and made the gray suit even more beautiful than it actually was. She appeared even more…

“Cut the extraterrestrial devils! Cut the extraterrestrial devils!”

Tang Ka gritted his teeth and walked to his monitor-cum-commander in pain like a machine.

He did not dare to look at Chu Zhiyun, but he didn’t know where he should focus his eyes either. When he finally approached her, he finally noticed that something was wrong. Chu Zhiyun was chewing a long, thin stick.

“What’s that?”

Tang Ka did not remember such an odd food among the rations that they were given.

“Don’t move. Open your mouth.”

Chu Zhiyun took off Tang Ka’s mask and helmet before she forced him to open his mouth and stuck a gigantic lollipop into it.
