Chapter 249: Successor

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

The news of Ji Bu's sacrifice made the atmosphere in the Military District feel somewhat oppressive, but it did not affect the normal operations of the Military District; the soldiers were all busy with their own tasks. After all, the threat of the Alien Race still remained, and people died every day; even Chief Ji Bu could not affect the normal operations of the Military District.

A soldier wearing a military uniform came to the Military District Headquarters, saw a soldier organizing data, and hurriedly walked up to greet them.

"Busy? Chief Ji Bu sacrificed himself in the battle against the Alien Race this time; who should these documents be submitted to for approval?"

The soldier organizing the documents replied, "Hmm, the high-level officials of the Council should resolve this issue. Of course, if Chief Ji Bu had a successor in mind, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"I remember Chief Ji Bu didn't seem to have mentioned this issue, right?"

The soldier organizing the data raised their eyes to look at their comrade and replied.

"That is really unclear. The only person who would most likely know about this is Chief Ji Bu's Guard, Lu Zhenda."

Just as the two were talking, a 2.8-meter-tall burly man and Lu Zhenda walked back to the headquarters together, not stopping, and headed straight for the office where Ji Bu had been during his lifetime.

"Is that person Lu Zhenda is bringing Yingzhou?"

"Seems like it. Originally, today was for his commendation, but Chief Ji Bu changed the location at the last minute; he must have discovered the Alien Race. However, Yingzhou should have gone there as well."

"Oh, oh, okay, then you go ahead and get busy, I still have things to deal with."

The soldier who came to the headquarters watched the corner where Yingzhou and Lu Zhenda disappeared, a trace of vigilance flashing in their eyes, and then they immediately exchanged a few words with the soldier organizing the data and entered the headquarters.

Lu Zhenda brought Yingzhou to Ji Bu's office. Spiritual Power reappeared in Lu Zhenda's hand, and ripples spread across the surface of the office door. Accompanied by a "Click!" sound, the door was opened.

"You go in. That is the item Chief Ji Bu left for you; I won't go in."

Yingzhou nodded, lowered his head and bent his waist slightly to enter the office. In the simple office, Yingzhou came to Ji Bu's desk and squatted down to rummage for the item Ji Bu had left for him.

"He said it was the bottom drawer. Let me see, oh? Is it this document bag?"

Yingzhou pulled open the bottom drawer of the desk; a document bag lay in the drawer, and apart from that, there were no other items.

Yingzhou took out the document bag and slowly stood up. Ji Bu's office was relatively spacious; even when he stood up straight, there was still a distance of more than ten centimeters from the ceiling.

"It wouldn't be his diary, would it? He shouldn't have such a weird sense of humor."

Yingzhou chuckled as he opened the document bag; inside was a certificate of appointment and a letter.

"Hmm, let me see... Effective immediately, Yingzhou will become the successor to the Chief of the Ninth Defense Zone Military Region, according to..."

After Yingzhou finished reading the certificate of appointment, he let out a heavy breath, "Good grief, he just dumped the Ninth Defense Zone Military Region on me? Isn't this too rash? Was he this rash back then too?"

As Yingzhou said this, he placed the certificate of appointment on the desk and opened the letter Ji Bu had left for him.

【Yingzhou, if you are reading this letter, I believe you must have also seen the certificate of appointment I left for you. To be honest, the situation when I became the Chief of the Military District was similar to yours. I believe in you; after you become the Chief of the Military District, you will definitely accomplish something!

Now what you need to do is take out this certificate of appointment and hand it to my Guard, Lu Zhenda; he will help you resolve the subsequent matters.

A special note: you will subsequently participate in the routine Council meeting of the Ninth Defense Zone as the Chief of the Military District. I rarely dealt with the people there; only Jack and I had interactions. He is a decent Councilor; as for the others, I will not comment. You will naturally know when the time comes.

Within the Ninth Defense Zone, I have already eliminated the hidden danger that was myself. Known Alien Races include the Demon; the Zerg might also be there.

The most important point is, if you don't have anything particularly important, don't go to the Inner City. This is a suggestion from me; the choice is in your hands.

My life has already begun its countdown. I won't be able to see the counterattack against the Alien Race, but at least before I died, I saw you. Will you be the hope that leads the Human race to turn the tables?】

After reading this letter, Yingzhou silently put the envelope away and said in a low voice, "Rest in peace, the Human race will definitely be the final winner!"

Just then, Yingzhou heard Lu Zhenda's shout from outside the door.

"No one is allowed to approach here now!"

Yingzhou put away the certificate of appointment and the envelope, walked quickly out of Ji Bu's office, saw a soldier holding a stack of data leaving, and asked.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. Did you find the item Chief Ji Bu left for you?"

Lu Zhenda shook his head and asked.

"Yes, come in and talk."

Yingzhou let Lu Zhenda enter the office, took out the certificate of appointment Ji Bu had left for him, and handed it to Lu Zhenda.

"This is the item Chief Ji Bu left for me; he said just handing this to you would be enough."

Lu Zhenda took the certificate of appointment Yingzhou handed him, looked at the name signed by Ji Bu, and said in a somewhat low voice.

"Of course, with this certificate, you are the new Chief of the Military District. I will upload this certificate to Selina of the Council. Before the next meeting begins, Chief Yingzhou, there are still many things you need to handle, such as that pile of data the soldier was holding just now..."

Yingzhou remembered the soldier he had just seen, who seemed to be holding quite a lot of data.

He couldn't help but shiver; oh my god, isn't this going to be the death of me? Is being the Chief of the Military District this hard?

"Lu Zhenda, that... uh... leave this matter to you. After all, you have been with Ji Bu for such a long time; you must be handy at doing these things."

Lu Zhenda did not notice the change in Yingzhou's tone, looked at the certificate of appointment in his hand, and nodded in agreement.

"No problem. After all, this has to be done slowly; Chief Ji Bu wasn't very accustomed to it at the beginning either, and only later did he become proficient."

Hearing Lu Zhenda say this, Yingzhou looked the Guard in front of him up and down and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, then I'll leave it to you. If there's nothing else, I'll be going first."

"Hmm? Chief Yingzhou, please wait a moment. Since you have now become the Chief, you should work here and familiarize yourself with the procedures. Now, Chief Yingzhou, you are the head of the Military District, and there are many things that need you to handle."

Seeing that he apparently couldn't leave, Yingzhou said helplessly to Lu Zhenda, "Lu Zhenda, with my current physique, I can't work here at all, and this place isn't very spacious either; I need to change to a spacious office."

"Hmm, Chief Yingzhou, what you said is correct. I will handle this problem for you right away. In a while, someone will bring over the work Chief Ji Bu left behind these past few days, which requires your opinion."

Yingzhou had no choice but to sit down on the sofa in the office that he could fit on. Accompanied by the sound of the sofa breaking, Yingzhou sat on the crushed sofa with a depressed look on his face.
