Two days have passed since the end of that war. But all the humans and wild creatures who survived eastward know that this is not the true end.
When several Hanging Eagle Jiuhui knocked down the physical wall composed of countless plague species, and no one was found in the Emperor's Throne or Shimoji, the information that the Emperor's Throne was not dead was almost confirmed.
The emperor did not "die" in Xu Fang's sneak attack. On the contrary, he took advantage of the slightest contempt caused by the outside world, killed the carrier of the divine vessel "Roulette", and took away and collected all the Four vessels of God. And after that, the Emperor's Throne forcibly sacrificed the lives of the Thirteen Thrones, erecting thirteen bright red and eye-catching sky-reaching light pillars of Ye Yi on the battlefield outside the Fearless Barrier. Moreover, the thirteen sky-reaching light pillars stand in place without any reaction. Any matter or quantity will directly pass through the light pillars without any influence on their composition.
But after doing that series of things, the throne mysteriously disappeared. The Apocalypse Abyss Army brought by him, the Thirteen Thrones were forcibly sacrificed for unknown purposes, and all the remaining hundreds of thousands of Plague Soldiers were abandoned.
The hundreds of thousands of plague species left behind from the east were not exterminated by the armies of humans and the Wilderness Empire, because the military budget consumed for this purpose was too large and meaningless. It would very likely make the corpses of plague species filled with crazy alien viruses completely Ruined the environment near Dreadnaught Bulwark.
Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of captives of the plague species were first sealed in place by Zhang Hao of Xuanying Jiuhui with the fourth-level special power "Space Confinement", and then were later captured by Lieutenant General Nankong Hao, the commander-in-chief of Xuanying's southern military region. Then, he used his fourth-level special ability "Alien Travel" to lock the hundreds of thousands of plague-species troops outside the alien space and turn them into prisoners.
The affairs of Chengdong are much more complicated. The cruel reality has never been to unite the Wilderness Empire and the Supreme Court to deal with post-war matters before. Based on each other's battle losses, the interests in the temporary armistice and alliance treaty were distributed, and they were eager to collude with each other in the post-war plan to fight against the Apocalypse Abyss.
Even excluding the head decisions of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Pioneer Committee such as Monarch Macdonald and Wu Jun, as soon as the news came out, it aroused a huge wave of opposition and opposition from within the Wilderness Empire and the Supreme Court.
On the side of the Wilderness Empire, due to the destruction of the "Mother Stone", the divine vessel, four generals of the Eight Wilderness Ministers, and nearly 100,000 Wilderness Empire soldiers. MacDonald naturally seeks to increase the part of the "Treaty" that supports the actual interests of the development of the Wilderness Empire by the Supreme Court, including the expansion of the territory of the Wilderness Empire officially recognized by the Supreme Court, and the reduction and restriction of human beings in cities, bases, safe zones, etc. The hunting volume of wilderness creatures outside the surrounding radiation range, the division of prisoners of the Apocalypse Abyss Army, and the output of technologies in fields such as biotechnology and scalable applications, etc.
Naturally, the Supreme Court cannot agree so easily. Most members of the Supreme Herald Council believed that their losses in this battle were greater. Not only were two members of the Standing Committee who were of infinite value to mankind sacrificed, a divine vessel 'Roulette', and a divine vessel 'Arrow' were sacrificed, the western wall and military facilities of the Fearless Barrier were almost completely destroyed in the fierce war. What's more, if the joint army of Noah City and the Wilderness Empire originally aimed to attack Xinjing, they just happened to encounter the invasion of the Apocalypse Abyss Army.
Noah City is not a third party force participating in the formulation of the "treaty". Although after the deaths of Ruorong and Lu Chaoqi, Dongwu Qi was the only top strongman backing Noah City. However, with Macdonald and Xu Xinsu stepping up to support Noah City, Wu Qi’s strength has already ranked among the top. As the second-largest player in the three-party camp after Macdonald, Noah City certainly could not let go of the opportunity to open up a path for its future.
It was noon, outside the Supreme Conference Room of the Central Political Court. Wu Qi stood leaning against the wall outside the conference room, with his arms folded in front of his chest, and his legs and fingers kept hitting his arms, as if he was thinking about something.
Wu Qi should have been the negotiator of Noah City, but Wu Qi was really unwilling. In addition, he believed that Commander Hicks was the best person to handle the matter, so he handed over the negotiations to Commander Hicks. Fully managed.
When the negotiation progressed to the point where Li Indeng was arguing with each other, Wu Qi found a reason to leave and went outside to get some air.
Just when Wu Qi was alone, Brigadier General Wu Yang suddenly walked over from the other end of the corridor. Wu Yang saw Wu Qi, who was worried, and then glanced at the door of the conference room where the sound of a fierce argument could be heard coming from outside. He thought about it and knew what it was like outside the conference room, so he walked up to Wu Qi and handed Wu Qi a cigarette.
"calm down?"
Wu Qi declined Wu Yang's kindness, and Wu Yang didn't insist. He lit the stick for himself and leaned next to Wu Qi.
The gray smoke was puffing out endlessly. Wu Yang looked up at the ceiling in the smoke, his eyes seemed to penetrate time and space and see the past.
"Two days ago, he knocked me down without any explanation. Sorry."
Wu Qi suddenly spoke when Wu Yang begged to shut up. Wu Yang was slightly surprised, and then said: "It's not a big deal, he has forgiven me."
"Thank you." Wu Qi said.
"Well, how should I put it? If Madam is wrong about his nurturing grace, he has watched me grow up, and Senior Ruorong... Or maybe he has watched him grow up..."
Wu Yang glanced at Wu Qi secretly, and seeing that Wu Qi didn't react much, he continued cautiously: "Senior Ruorong, he also feels the same way as me about her sacrifice because he is the target of his admiration."
After Wu Yang finished speaking, Wu Qi didn't react at all. However, the quieter he acted at that time, the more uneasy Wu Yang felt.
"Wu Qi, am I... really okay?"
"If something happens to him, it won't be time for him to take action."
Wu Qi said coldly, as if his emotions had been frozen.
"The bodies of Guo Baibo and Sister Ruorong are now being kept by his mother's group of people. The Third Court of the Supreme Court asked whether he could be controlled by the most ruthless people who killed him, and Zhao Yuanlang, the leader of Ye Xiao and other culprits of the organization plan They are all no longer alive. Ru Ming, they can't tolerate Dongfang, but no one can take revenge on the other. So the best solution is for him to take the bodies of Guo Baibai and Ruorong after finishing the crusade against the throne. Leave. Go back to where he belongs."
After hearing Wu Qi's words, Wu Yang couldn't help but feel his heart twist. He asked tentatively: "What about Mrs. Ruo and Wu Standing Committee? Do I really have the heart to be separated from my two closest relatives in this life?"
But Wu Qi’s answer is very clear.
"Senior Wu Yang, that's what he got after careful consideration. His parents have been fighting for the development of the Third Academy of the Supreme Court and the cause of human survival for half their lives, and they will also contribute half their lives. If the Standing Committee of the Ming Dynasty died, only three people were left. The one he continued to take revenge on and destroy was the Third Supreme Court, which they were so ruthless about. But no, he couldn't help but regard the Third Supreme Court as his enemy. From his birth, recording, adventures, until now, the Third Supreme Court has almost run through his entire life. Life, and its role, is never a 'villain'."
Wu Qi turned around and showed a relieved smile to Wu Yang: "He likes the Supreme Third Courtyard, but he doesn't like the humans it protects. He also hopes that the human race can survive in that world. Wild creatures and plague species have prospered. The Supreme Court protects its pioneer in the open, and he protects the pure human beings in the dark. He will spend his whole life to protect Sister Ruorong's Noah. city."
Wu Yang pursed his lips, looked at Wu Qi's bitter smile with a hint of disdain, and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, then wish me good luck. After I return to Noah City after conquering the throne, he will visit me often." Wu Yang patted Wu Qi on the shoulder.
"Um."
At that time, the door of the conference room opened with a creak, and members of the three delegations walked out of the conference room one after another. It was not because of anything else, but simply because it was time for dinner and the meeting was suspended.
Wu Qi ignored everyone in the delegation from the Third House of the Supreme Court and walked directly in front of Hicks and McDonald.
Wu Qi asked: "How?"
"Continue at Dongwu." Hicks said calmly, holding a thick notebook.
Since Ruorong passed away two days ago, Hicks has shown strength and determination that is unimaginable to ordinary people. He took charge of all the affairs of Noah City, and was responsible for the internal and external affairs of Noah City alone. He handled everything in an orderly manner, just like a perfect new city lord.
But Wu Qi knew that the old general who had been with Sister Ruorong for half his life had turned red overnight because of Ruorong's death.
Without Hicks, there would be no Noah's City, which is now functioning normally. Therefore, Wu Qi respects Commander Wuxian wholeheartedly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Qi nodded politely.
"It's not their duty." Hicks said.
During the break in negotiations, Wu Jun, one of the five standing committee members, personally came forward to receive the negotiating delegation from Noah City and the Wilderness Empire in a luxuriously decorated banquet hall. Outside the banquet hall, there was a dazzling array of high-end gourmet buffets and unlimited amounts of expensive red wine. While everyone was enjoying the fine wines and delicacies, and temporarily freed from the troublesome negotiations, Wu Jun made a speech in Taiwan about the three parties working together to seek a future together. gorgeous speech.
No one can refute whether Wu Jun's speech is extremely contagious and mobilizing. Under the "curtain" he described, the three forces of the Supreme Court, Noah City, and the Wilderness Empire will work together to eradicate the evil from the throne. Help that world create a glorious and beautiful future. Among them, the Noah City delegation can feel respect, the Wilderness Empire delegation can feel equality, and the delegation of the Supreme Court has naturally gained more confidence in the success of negotiations.
"Wu Qi, my father is full of talents as a ruler in Dongdu."
Outside the area where most of the Noah City delegation members were, Hicks and Wu Qi suddenly talked about that point.
Wu Qi does not deny that. Although Wu Qi remembers Wu Jun's poor performance as a father deeply, it does not affect Wu Qi's belief that Wu Jun is an outstanding ruler. And if the direction of the future is really what Wu Jun said in his speech, and the three parties work together to create the final piece of the puzzle for a glorious future, then will his father Wu Jun, his mother Ruo Lin, and his uncle Ruo Shi'an all be able to reach the senior year of high school? Among the senior officials of the hospital, there are people who are pro-Noah City.
Thinking about it that way, Wu Qi felt more relieved.
"Would his father be so capable? The death of those two old men Zhao Yuanlang and Chen Zhen are 'indispensable'." Wu Qi shut up, not hiding his hatred for those two enemies.
Hicks sighed: "But if the two members of the Standing Committee, Zhao Yuanlang and Chen Zhen, had guarded the 'arrow' of the divine vessel and not let the 'arrow' fall into the lap of the throne, the current situation might have been better."
No, maybe that way, Sister Ruorong can survive.
Wu Qi did not express his innermost thoughts. He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject with Hicks.
As time went by, the banquet gradually came to an end. At a certain moment, Zhang Huanling, the son of Standing Committee member Zhang Yuyu and a student of the dean of Academia Sinica, entered the banquet hall without anyone paying attention. He found Wu Jun and whispered a few words.
Just by saying those few words, Wu Jun's face became visibly serious.
Outside the banquet hall, Wu Qi, Macdonald and Xu Xinsu were contacted by the same spiritual message at the same time. The three of them each found excuses to interrupt the conversation with the people around them, and secretly walked out of the banquet hall.
At the corner of the corridor outside the banquet hall, Wu Jun and Zhang Huanling were standing there waiting for the three of them.
Wu Qi, McDonald, and Xu Xinsu looked at each other, and then walked to Wu Jun and Zhang Huanling together. McDonald asked: "Is there anything wrong with contacting the three of them secretly?"
"A major event that concerns all mankind and the creatures of the wilderness." Wu Jun said seriously.
"Is it related to the throne?" Xu Xinsu said keenly.
Wu Jun replied: "I'm not sure, but apart from him, there should be no one else who can do it."
Wu Qizhi said: "It seems that there shouldn't be a place to discuss things. Let's take them there without further ado."
"Well, please follow him," Zhang Huanling said.
Zhang Huanling led the way, and the five of them soon arrived at the research building of the Eastern Branch of Academia Sinica.
The research building is quite large. From the outside, it looks like a triangular pyramid-shaped glass building with a height of 120 meters. There is also a huge triangular area in the center of the outside of the building. The triangular area is 40 floors above the ground and is transparent and not layered. Outside the area stands a model of a manned space rocket, symbolizing the furthest step forward in human technology in the civilized era - Aerospace Science and Technology.
Wu Qi followed the others and took the elevator to the top floor of the 40th floor. At the height of the 40th floor, standing next to the glass wall, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire Eastern Branch of Academia Sinica; looking up, you will feel that you are much closer to the sun.
Zhang Huanling led everyone to the astronomical observation room. When the face authentication door opened to both sides, dozens of researchers working nervously outside the astronomical observation room were revealed.
Zhang Huanling led everyone into the Astronomical Observation Department. At that time, the director of the Astronomical Observation Department came over and greeted Zhang Huanling. After Zhang Huanling explained his intention of bringing Wu Qi, McDonald and others here, the minister immediately asked Bu Dong to switch the main control screen and personally explained to Wu Jun, Wu Qi, McDonald and Xu Xinsu.
"My lords, please take a look at the unidentified flying meteorite observed by their No. 13 'Watch' space station at 13:45 on the bright moon. According to the latest calculations, it turns out that the meteorite is about 48.7 meters high and is currently traveling at a speed of 46,027 kilometers per hour. Flying towards the earth. Converted into time, the meteorite will fall on the earth 122 hours later, that is, five days later at 16:00 Eastern Noon! Once the meteorite hits the ground, it is estimated that it will create a local impact that is 150 times equivalent to the civilized era. The explosive power of the atomic bomb! No matter what kind of buildings or creatures there are near the meteorite landing, everything will be destroyed in an instant."
The minister solemnly told everyone about the recent situation analysis. Everyone fell into silence for a long time as they looked at the various analysis data and flight trajectory diagrams of the "unidentified meteorite" displayed on the main control screen.
At the same time, Xu Xinsu had closed her eyes, meditating and using "Predict the Future".
She wanted to know whether the meteorite would fall on the earth in 122 hours!
The process of "spiritual separation from reality and communicating with the future" was very difficult. After an unknown period of time, Xu Xinsu suddenly saw a giant meteorite in the darkness that created the world! The meteorite gushes out from the dark clouds surrounded by 13 sky-reaching red light pillars, burning with the bright red fire of destruction, and slowly descends from the high altitude with the pressure to burn out everything!
The terrifying destructive pressure and heat of the meteorite that fell that day seemed to be real. While it shocked Xu Xinsu's mind, it also frightened Xu Xinsu's consciousness the moment the meteorite landed.
Xu Xinsu suddenly opened her eyes. I don't know when, cold sweat had covered her forehead and face, and her back was completely soaked with sweat. She was breathing heavily, her expression full of panic and fear, as if she had just emerged from a giant that destroyed the world. It’s like running out of a disaster on foot.
The eyes of Wu Qi, McDonald, Wu Jun and others were all focused on her at this moment.
"Xu Xinsu, what did I see?" McDonald patted Xu Xinsu's shoulder with concern and asked.
"He, he saw the meteorite. The meteorite would land. Although he didn't see the ground where it landed, he saw 13 red light pillars standing in the sky there. It was absolutely true!"
Everyone present knew exactly where the 13 red light beams were pointing.
"What?" The expressions of the minister, Wu Jun, and Zhang Huanling all changed drastically. The minister couldn't believe it, but the data on Ma Zai's main control screen was updated.
"Minister! There is a major intelligence update!" a researcher shouted.
Everyone quickly turned around and saw the main control screen displaying a line of latitude and longitude data predicting the impact point of the meteorite. The place where the data is wrong is Xinjing in the center of the mainland!
Nadong, the minister no longer had an excuse to refute Xu Xinsu's prophecy of destruction. He even bowed deeply to Xu Xinsu to show his respect.
"Perhaps, they can try to intercept the meteorite." Zhang Huanling suggested seriously.
Wu Jun nodded and said: "That's right, even if the meteorite falls somewhere other than Xinjing, they can still rely on long-range interception missiles to destroy or miss the meteorite. You don't have to be so pessimistic."
At that moment, Wu Qi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute. Can we guess what the true identity of that meteorite is?"
No one present felt unhappy. Wu Qi reminded them, and everyone became a little more conscious.
The landing point of the meteorite corresponded to the location of the 13 red light pillars, and those 13 red light pillars were created by the Emperor's forced sacrifice of the lives of the thirteen Thrones in some way. The light beam does not affect anything nor is it affected by anything. The purpose of being here is unusual in the first place!
"Whether it's based on Xu Xinsu's 'predicting the future' or the data we analyzed, they all understand whether the landing point of the meteorite is related to the 13 beams of light, or to put it more simply, the 13 beams of light exist here , can you guide the direction of the meteorite's landing!" Wu Qi said categorically.
"So what I mean is that the meteorite is also the leg pen of the emperor?" Wu Jun said.
"Um."
The minister thought for a moment, and then said: "Qi is a human being's intuition, and he also agrees with my guess." But he doesn't want me to give more evidence. "
"Yes, there," Wu Qi pointed to his brain. He, Macdonald and Xu Xinsu all took a wrong look, and then said: "We all know that he had a survival experience in the Apocalypse Abyss. In At the bottom of the Black Source Sea of the Apocalypse Abyss, there is a place that even people at the level of the Thirteen Thrones rarely know. That place is the 'end of the earth'. If the Apocalypse Abyss has ever been a deep pit created by a meteorite, then' The end of the underground is the center of the strange meteorite explosion! He has explored there and experienced nine deaths. He has gained a lot of information about the fifth level. And his qualifications for observing the fifth level divine vessel cannot be obtained from the end of the underground. It will be there later.”
Wu Qi calmly stated the information that would cause an uproar at any time, and everyone listened attentively.
"And at the 'end of the earth', there is not only a massive amount of information, but also the remnants of the fifth-level power, and a consciousness that calls itself a 'god'. It once mistakenly said to him, 'Wu Qi, go harvest the divine vessel. Wait for me. When I hold the Divine Vessel on my legs, I can observe the power of the fifth level. Control it and then dominate that civilization!' It said very much, 'If I harvest all the Divine Vessels one day and send them to him, he will give me the previous Inspiration.'"
Wu Qi's short few sentences contain a huge amount of information, and when several core keys are connected in series, a conclusion will be logically drawn.
Wu Jun took a deep breath, then looked at Wu Qi with burning eyes, and said: "The Emperor gathered all the divine vessels, and then rushed back to the 'end of the earth' as soon as possible, triggering the previous revelation. No?"
MacDonald also said: "If I hadn't mentioned the 'exotic meteorite' just now, he really wouldn't be able to remember it."
Having said that, everyone has already realized it. The worst thing about the meteorite that will land on Earth and hit Xinjing in 122 hours is the second strange meteorite!
By then, even if the Supreme Court bets on all long-range interception missiles, destroying the meteorite before it lands in Xinjing will be of no avail. Because when the second meteorite full of alien viruses falls on the earth, the "Dawn Age" human civilization built with the pioneers as the core will completely regress back to the "Dark Age"! Even except for the top fourth-level pioneers, the third-level and eastward pioneers will degenerate into plague species!
And that time, mankind will not have another chance to usher in the 'dawn'.
