Bulwark of Light

In the Sangzhou Grotto mission, Beizhou's energy boat finally rescued more than 6000 extraordinary people.

This relief operation can be said to have exceeded expectations, and it can also be said to be only half successful.

Because the number of surviving Transcendents in Sangzhou Grotto is probably more than [-]... Even if there are neutral people who release the news and take charge of the organization, there are only so many who finally arrive at the assembly point.

The beast tide is raging, Tan Yao erupts, and the [Tide] pushes it.

Those who survive are the lucky ones.

As for those who failed to reach the S12 area... they have been submerged in flames and sea water.

It's just that the existence of these people has proved that the awakening experiment is feasible!

Such a large number of extraordinary people, placed in the ethnic group system built by human society today, can completely change the existing world structure!
Although the extraordinary realm of these people is still very low, as long as certain resources are given, there will always be someone who can advance...

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

It's just a matter of probability.

After the results of the experiment in the Sangzhou Grottoes appeared, the second proposal on the full opening of the "Awakening Experiment" has been submitted. This time, the upper city of Zhongzhou took the initiative to submit it to the parliament. According to the old rules, this proposal will go through layers of review. In the end, the World Parliament will submit its internal discussion opinions to the Supreme Council, and the Seven Gods will make a ruling.

If the result of the discussion at the highest seat is disagreement.

Then the proposal will be void.

But who knows... what the outcome of this second proposal will be.

The camp among the Seven Gods has vaguely formed.

Shangcheng launched the second proposal, which means that this is the prelude to the extraordinary era of "full link" by the God of the Sky, and the support of the World Congress is Xizhou Guangming City. After Beizhou and Nagano joined forces, Guangming The city has moved away from its original allies and chose to change its camp again. This time's statement is the best proof.

As for Nanzhou.

The attitude of the God of Storms is not difficult to guess, he is even willing to give up the Sangzhou Grotto in his territory to support this test experiment.

But it doesn't matter.

Because among the five continents today, only Nanzhou is not qualified to be on the stage.

Before the return of the real storm, the balance of the highest seat will not be broken, and this second proposal is destined to fall into anxiety.

Because Dongzhou and Beizhou are gradually merging, the Queen and Baishu must be the opponents of the "Second Awakening Proposal".The contradictions among the top seats have long been formed, and anyone with a discerning eye can see this, and the members of the World Parliament are also nervous because of this. They don't want to see this last homeland break up due to internal strife.

War is always the worst option.

Several of Beizhou's energy boats are still parked in the northern wasteland of Dadu. The members of the recruiting team responsible for temporary rescue are also arranged to temporarily settle in Dadu to be responsible for the follow-up resettlement work.

The 24 energy boats took a total of 710 extraordinary people from the Sangzhou Cave.

Beizhou took half of it.

The remaining half is reserved for Dongzhou.

This is what Lin Lin and Gu Shen agreed in advance... There are a lot of extraordinary people left in Dongzhou. Dongzhou is different from Beizhou. It is not a strict regiment management. They want to absorb more than [-] people. Extraordinary people need Nagano to intervene in the dispatch, which is the meaning of the existence of these temporary recruiting team members in Beizhou at this moment.

After finishing these trivial matters, they will leave Dadu with the energy boat and return to the border.

"I heard that Nagano has set up an investigation team."

"This is to investigate the cause of Mr. Gu's death..."

"It's a pity that the majestic S-level genius fell like this..."

The camp of the temporary recruiting team is set up in the barren hills in the north of the capital, where the energy boats can dock easily. Several team members are chatting casually. A figure silently carries a large box of supplies and passes by behind the camp. Nothing changed, but the eyes became strangely complicated.

After Zhao Qi was busy with the work at hand, he found the head of the detachment and expressed that he would like to ask for half a day off.

The task of recruiting a team became less onerous after leaving Sang Island.

This leave of absence was approved quickly.

Having served in the Beizhou Army for half a year, Zhao Qi has gotten used to the ice and snow of the border fortress.

Now that he has returned to Dadu, he feels unfamiliar with his hometown where he has stayed for half his life... Because of the confluence, the Dadu District has produced commercial airships with high cost performance. Banner, this city is changing more and more every year.

Zhao Qi watched the glamorous passers-by coming and going on the street, and he tugged on his Beizhou military overcoat.

Nobody here pays any attention to him.

Even if someone notices...there is a high probability that he will not be able to recognize him as the former son of the Zhao family.

Zhao Qi came to Huazhi Building, looking at this very familiar tall building, he was in a daze for a while.

Just as he was about to step in, he was stopped by a baton in front of him.

The security guard on duty at the front desk politely stopped the thin man with a shabby temperament outside the building, "Sir, I'm sorry...to enter Huaqi, you need an ID card or an appointment. Do you have an appointment?"

Zhao Qi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

People without identity are not eligible to enter this building.

He can reveal his identity. When the Zhao family transferred Huaqi's financial rights to Lu Nanzhi, they still kept a part of the shares... Strictly speaking, even if he, Zhao Qi, left the stage of Dadu, he was still a Huaqi The majority shareholder of the board of directors, this is a fact that will not change no matter how poor and shabby the clothes are.

But Zhao Qi didn't do that.

He looked at the camera on the side of the building, and said peacefully: "I don't have an appointment, I want to see Lu Nanzhi or Cui Zhongzhong."

To Zhao Qi, Lu Nanzhi and Cui Zhongzhong were just common names, and he said them subconsciously.

But the security guard who stopped at the door suddenly frowned, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, we don't welcome lunatics here! Also, please pay attention to your words!"

Madam is now a symbol of free will in the metropolitan area, and she has been elected as the highest member of public opinion in the Jiangnan area for several consecutive terms.

She was respected by the entire metropolis.

How dare this downcast man call him by his first name?

Zhao Qi was stunned, he realized that his words were wrong, and just about to change his words, he saw that the complexion of the security personnel suddenly became complicated and strange.

"rustle……"

He heard a slight voice from the security guard's headset.

Apparently the order to let go was given above.

The baton blocking the door was put down, the security personnel still frowned, and said in a bad manner: "No matter what your identity is, please show respect when you mention Madam in the future!"

……

……

When Zhao Qi came to the top floor, what he saw was an empty office with huge floor-to-ceiling windows with the curtains drawn.

Standing here, you can overlook the entire metropolitan area.

Another building that is so tall that you can look at it from a distance is the Nanwan Building.

After he sat down, the secretary brought tea, and told him in a warm voice that his wife still had something to do and had to wait for a while—even the secretary didn't recognize the man in front of him as the former Mr. Zhao.

The flower flag is still the same flower flag, but this building has become unfamiliar to Zhao Qi.

It can be seen that after Lu Nanzhi accepted the group, he carried out drastic reforms.

When Zhao Qi was in a daze with his teacup in his hand, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Before you leave, Huazhi should have given you your ID card."

The lady in a white shirt returned to the highest floor alone. After she took Chu Ling to the negative tenth floor and introduced it to Qi Mo, the task at this stage was considered complete... the rest is to lead the core team of neutrals The planning has been divided, and she really can't intervene in technical research.

"Long ago lost..."

Zhao Qi laughed at himself and said, "I remember that the building used to recognize faces."

"You can't entrust all your safety to [Deep Sea]." Lu Nanzhi sat down and said calmly, "Compared with machines, I would rather trust humans...but there are some things [Deep Sea] are indeed more sensitive than humans."

She looked at the weather-beaten and unfamiliar face in front of her.

The security personnel didn't recognize him, the secretary didn't recognize him, and even he... didn't recognize him. The person in front of him was Zhao Qi from the past.

But this face was recognized by [Deep Sea].

[Deep Sea] After facial recognition, Lu Nanzhi was reminded that the interception at the door might be a misoperation.

"Many fortress gates in Beizhou are fully under the control of [Deep Sea] identification."

Zhao Qi thought for a long time, but couldn't find a common topic, so he could barely squeeze out a sentence, which was regarded as a follow-up.

"..."

The space where the two were alone was silent.

"Beizhou sent a temporary recruitment team for the rescue of the Sangzhou Grottoes. The stop is the metropolitan area of ​​Dongzhou. Almost no one is willing to participate in this kind of recruitment... You are one of the few voluntary applicants."

Lu Nanzhi told the background story of this temporary recruitment that was kept secret from the outside world, and she sighed lightly: "If you spend a lot of time and time to come to Dadu just to chat with me here, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, I'll take it There's a meeting coming down."

"All right……"

Zhao Qi sat upright and clasped his hands, "I want to confirm the part of the property that belongs to me."

Lu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Qi said sincerely: "The Zhao family left me [-]% of the shares."

"These are kept by Cui Zhongzhong." Lu Nanzhi said flatly: "The will of the old man before he left is very clear. You can't take it out or use it. You can only accept the regular payment every year, and the price is..."

"The price is that I enter Beizhou Fortress."

Zhao Qi accepted the words.

He said slowly: "Currently, I am serving in the Northwest Frontier, affiliated to Falling Silver City, and the temporary logistics team of Xinyang Fortress. I don't have any evaluation...but it has been three years since I officially joined the Fortress Legion."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to withdraw money, I just want to make sure that my part of the property is still there."

Zhao Qi said earnestly: "In addition, I will not leave Beizhou. This meeting is because I took half a day off. When the meeting is over, I will go back soon."

Lu Nanzhi was a little confused.

"You must be wondering, since I don't withdraw money, what am I going to do here?"

Zhao Qi grinned and chattered, "I heard that Beizhou and Dongzhou are converging...Xinyang Fortress recently needs a sum of money to purchase mechanical prosthetics, and is currently collecting donations locally, as you know, the Beizhou side They are very poor, and many people don’t have much money after they have cleaned their pockets, so I want to pay for it myself.”

Lu Nanzhi looked at the man silently.

Compared with this face that has been smoothed by the wind and snow.

What made her feel even more strange... was what Zhao Qi said at this moment.

For the first time, she heard Zhao Qi tell the story of Beizhou for more than ten minutes.

This unreliable mud was thrown into Luoyin City at first, but no one knew his identity as the so-called son of the Zhao family, so the simple people of Beizhou stepped on this lump of mud one after another. After the mud was stepped on, of course He didn't want to stand up...he only wanted to continue to be broken, so for a long time, Zhao Qi was in the stage of decadence and self-abandonment.

In fact, he also met kind-hearted people.

For example, a certain young man from Dongzhou gave him a cigar on a very bad day and asked him to cheer up and at least make a name for himself.

This cigar moved Zhao Qi for several days.

But if the mud can be cheered up by a few words, then the mud can't be regarded as mud.

So later he was dumped to the Xinyang Fortress attached to Falling Silver City.

It was a small fortress, the size of an inconspicuous mung bean in the vast northwestern border, and it was mainly responsible for material storage. Those who were thrown into this place to serve were basically the bottom of the Beizhou Army.

When it came to Xinyang Fortress, he was the bottom of the bottom.

What really changed Zhao Qi was those days in Xinyang Fortress.

Many of the disabled soldiers stationed in the Xinyang Fortress lost their hands and feet during the war against the Red Army and did not want to leave the legion, so they came to a small place like the Xinyang Fortress. They relied on source armor and mechanical prosthetic limbs to continue fighting Legion life... Those who choose to spend the rest of their lives like this are basically veterans who lost their families during the turbulent years in Beizhou.

These veterans were not bad to Zhao Qi.

Front-line troops like Luoyincheng have strict training and attach great importance to performance review, so a slow-footed guy like Zhao Qi has been repeatedly trampled on in the army.

But the requirements of Xinyang Fortress are quite loose. The old guys are surprised that a young man with hands, feet and limbs is so bad that he is relegated to such a ghostly place.

So this group of old guys became very interested in Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi's life in Xinyang Fortress was very hard. These veterans forced him to participate in daily training. He wanted to give up, but when he looked around, he was surrounded by middle-aged and elderly people who had taken off their mechanical prostheses and whose limbs were not sound...Seeing this After one scene, he could only grit his teeth and persist.

A day, a week, a month, a year...

The days passed like this.

Of course, Zhao Qi's energy can only be said to be slightly better than before, and he is still at the bottom of the big fortress.

"The people over there are very kind to me. Their mechanical prosthetics are generally aging, and the legion has very little funding. If they want to replace them, they need to raise funds."

"The difficulties they encountered this time can be solved with money... So, I want to take part of my money to help them."

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he said sincerely: "The total fundraising amount of Xinyang Fortress is 50. I would like to ask how much is the remaining balance in my card?"

This number is not much, and it may be the amount he spent in one night in Dadu bars in the past.

But after going to Beizhou, he had no money at all.

"..."

After listening, Lu Nanzhi fell silent.

She didn't expect that Zhao Qi came this time for this matter.

"According to your father's will, Huaqi will transfer 6000 million to your card every year."

Madam took out a black card from the drawer, pushed it in front of Zhao Qi, and said with a complicated expression: "How much is in it, you can check it yourself... This money is your property, you can manage it yourself. But you don't need to pay a salary." Yang Fortress has been established, and the two continents are currently in the stage of merging, and I will have a meeting with the central city executives next, and I will let Zhuxue send people to solve the problems encountered in Xinyang Fortress."

Zhao Qi looked at the black card in front of him.

He was silent for a moment, and instead of taking it, he returned it.

"The money just stays in the card...the numbers don't make sense to me anymore."

Zhao Qi stood up and smiled, "If you are willing to solve the troubles in Xinyang Fortress, then my purpose here will be fulfilled."
