I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 94 - Misty Town Acting Battalion Commander


"Hello, this is the Silver Gray Star Special Operations Management Office. Major Qin, according to military mission requirements and the decision of our superiors,Major Qin Tian has been specially transferred to Mist Town to serve as the acting battalion commander. Please report within three days. The specific transfer order has been sent to your personal backend through official channels. Please check it promptly."A deep, emotionless voice came from the communication device.Before Qin Tian could reply, the call was disconnected."acting battalion commander?"Qin Tian immediately opened the military's official app and, as expected, received a new transfer order in his personal backend.Special Operations Management Office, Mist Town, acting battalion commander... Qin Tian's brows furrowed slightly. He felt that this matter was a bit strange.Firstly, his file was under the purview of the Seventh Bureau. Although the Seventh Bureau was still a subordinate unit of the Special Operations Management Office, his transfer should have been issued through the Seventh Bureau.Furthermore, his identity was special; he was currently studying ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) at Xiongying Military Academy. If there were any transfers, Yan Qing would definitely notify him in advance.Despite his doubts, military orders were like mountains. Qin Tian immediately packed his luggage, preparing to leave for Mist Town the next day.Before leaving, Qin Tian sent a message to Yan Qing, informing him of the matter. However, he did not receive a reply from Yan Qing until he arrived at Mist Town.Due to military confidentiality principles, Qin Tian did not inform anyone else about his transfer order.Before arriving at Mist Town, Qin Tian looked up information about this small town. Mist Town is located in the southeastern corner of the Andes Continent. The climate is humid, and during certain seasons, the town is shrouded in fog every few days, hence the name Mist Town.Thanks to effective promotion, Mist Town became a well-known tourist town in the region, attracting many tourists and boosting the local economy.However, just over a month ago, something seemed to have happened in Mist Town. Many tourists mysteriously disappeared and have not been found since. This incident caused a sharp decline in the town's tourism popularity, but there was not much news about this matter online.Qin Tian guessed that his transfer to Mist Town was likely related to this incident.After all, his position was acting battalion commander, which meant that the former battalion commander had either been transferred or—Something had happened.The aircraft landed at the Mist Town helipad. Qin Tian, carrying a backpack like a young tourist, walked onto the town's streets.The streets were very deserted, with few pedestrians in sight. The shops on both sides were sparsely open, and when Qin Tian passed by the shops,the shopkeepers rarely actively solicited customers.Qin Tian walked around and the entire town was enveloped in a faint aura of deathly silence, completely devoid of vitality. It was impossible to tell that this was once a tourist city.The eerie atmosphere of the town made Qin Tian feel even more strongly that the incident a month ago was definitely not simple. However, he did not choose to investigate immediately but instead went to the military camp first to complete his report.The military camp was less than twenty kilometers from the town. Drones patrolled overhead, providing complete surveillance coverage.When Qin Tian walked into the military camp area, a drone overhead quickly descended, and a stern voice came out, "This is a military restricted area. Tourists are prohibited from approaching."Qin Tian looked at the drone above and said calmly:"I am Qin Tian, the new acting battalion commander of 137 Camp. I am here to report today."The drone remained still for less than three minutes. Several military vehicles quickly drove up and stopped five meters away from Qin Tian.A figure jumped out of the passenger seat, dressed in a military uniform, and strode up to Qin Tian. He gave a crisp military salute, his voice firm:"Reporting, Battalion Commander, I am Zhao Nuo, the deputy battalion commander of 137 Camp. On behalf of all the soldiers of 137 Camp, I welcome Commander."Qin Tian returned the military salute, then extended his hand and said:"Hello, Captain Zhao."Zhao Nuo quickly shook Qin Tian's hand, a hint of enthusiasm appearing on his face:"Captain Qin, hello. A few days ago, I heard from above that our camp would be getting a young and promising Commander. I didn't expect to see you today and find that you are even younger than I imagined."Qin Tian smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers behind Zhao Nuo.These soldiers were dressed in military uniforms, carrying weapons, and stood upright, showing great military bearing. However, from the eyes of these soldiers, he could see various emotions such as curiosity, indifference, doubt, and distance.With a sudden airborne leader, especially one so young, these soldiers would likely doubt his background and ability."Let's go, Captain Zhao, I'll complete my reporting procedures first," Qin Tian said."Yes, yes, please come inside."Zhao Nuo directly served as the military vehicle driver. Qin Tian sat in the passenger seat, and they drove into the military camp.After entering the military camp, Qin Tian silently observed.Several rows of neat and uniform barracks stood tall, their beige outer walls emitting a warm and solemn aura under the sunlight.The barracks' windows were sparkling clean, the glass reflecting the sunlight like many small, shimmering mirrors.In the open area in front of the barracks, soldiers were undergoing physical training. Loud and powerful shouts echoed throughout the camp."Captain Zhao."Qin Tian asked, "How many people are there in our camp?"Zhao Nuo: "A total of 835 people."Qin Tian: "How many Spiritual Energy Users and Espers are there respectively?"Zhao Nuo: "10 Spiritual Energy Users, 3 Espers."The composition of two special operations teams. Qin Tian nodded slightly and asked again:"Are they all in the camp now?"When this was mentioned, Zhao Nuo's expression suddenly became a little strange, as if he had something difficult to say."What, is it inconvenient to say?" Qin Tian asked."It's not that it's inconvenient to say."Zhao Nuo hesitated for a moment, then spoke:"To be honest with you, there are only 4 Spiritual Energy Users left in our camp now."Qin Tian frowned: "Where are the other nine?"Zhao Nuo sighed and said, "They are all missing."Missing, again missing... Qin Tian's eyes flashed. Tourists missing, the superhumans in the military camp also missing. How many secrets did this small Mist Town hide?Why would the Special Operations Management Office transfer a major with absolutely no management experience here to serve as battalion commander, and the procedures were handled so hastily."How did the superiors respond to the disappearance of these people?" Qin Tian asked again."The superiors told us to stand by. They would send people to investigate the situation, but it's been over a month now, and there hasn't been any news. I really don't know what those people are doing."Zhao Nuo's tone carried anger. At this point, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't be complaining in front of Qin Tian and quickly explained:"Captain Qin, I don't mean anything else. I'm just genuinely worried. These nine missing people are my comrades, my brothers, and our former battalion commander is also among these nine people.""You say, the Battalion Commander is missing, how can I, the deputy battalion commander, not be worried?"Qin Tian glanced at him and said thoughtfully, "Yes, you would definitely be worried."Soon, Zhao Nuo took Qin Tian to the personnel department to complete a series of procedures.From this point on, Qin Tian officially became the acting battalion commander of 137 Camp in Mist Town.
