"How's the situation?"
Inside the Inspection Department base, Zhang Changming stared at the lab personnel before him, his expression extremely cold. So many of his subordinates had died; he naturally had to take this seriously. This was no longer just an issue for his Guixi District; if it escalated further up the chain of command, it would be considered a provocation against the Imperial authority. Zhang Changming had already submitted his report, and the Imperial headquarters' stance was simple: he was to handle it. If he truly couldn't manage, the Imperial forces would send someone to take over.
Zhang Changming understood perfectly what that implied. If the Imperial forces really sent someone, his tenure as the head of the Guixi branch would almost certainly be over.
