The scenery of Noah's City came into view through the front window. What attracted everyone's attention immediately was the clear blue and fresh sky, as well as the countless air defense measurable base units that resembled drones floating in the east of high-altitude red clouds.
A lengthened and modified Cadillac DeVille, all pitch black, was parked between the high-walled passage and the only road to enter Noah's City, with a tall figure leaning against the side of the front of the car. The owner in the back has silver-black hair, a strong build, and is wearing a heroic dark green military uniform. A wisp of tobacco was slowly floating out from the side of his face.
The man heard the sound of an engine coming from the high-wall passage and turned to deny the waiting General Hicks.
The heavy field vehicle turned away from the high wall passage and parked at the foot of the high wall. The car door opened, and Ye Zheng and Wu Qi walked eastward one after another. They stood still and saluted General Hicks.
Hicks put out his cigarette, returned the salute, and said, "Here we come."
"General Hicks, following your order, Ye Zheng brought Wu Qi and his team." Ye Zhengru reported.
A faint smile appeared on Hicks' face: "Okay, he will take him away. Ye Zheng and I can move freely."
"No, General."
Gao Yuan and Guo Baibo seemed a little restrained in front of General Hicks. Wu Qi walked to the front of the crowd and led everyone towards the Cadillac Regal that General Hicks was riding. Hicks specially opened the passenger door for Wu Qi. Wu Qi gratefully accepted Hicks' kindness and walked in.
Wu Qi and his party all rode in General Hicks' car. Hicks walked to the driver's seat and closed the door. As soon as he put his leg on the fingerprint recognition template on the console, the car's engine buzzed. With a kick of the accelerator, the scenery outside the car window began to move.
The car drove along the main road of Noah's City, and everyone could clearly see the scene of Noah's City on both sides of the road. There are buildings that gradually increase in height from the outside to the outside. The architectural styles everywhere you look are all in the style of the civilized era, and not a single building looks dilapidated.
Entering the outskirts of Noah's City, everyone can see the crisscrossing roads. The transportation there is developed, and all roads lead to various places in Noah's city. The street is prosperous with stores open and people coming and going.
Noah City is very big. Wu Qi learned from Ye Zheng's advance explanation that the area of Noah City is about 2.5 times that of the east city of Liming Base, which is much larger than the surface area of Liming Base. There are clear regional divisions outside Noah City, including a series of areas such as commercial areas, industrial areas, residential areas, scientific research areas, military areas, plantations, etc. The most special thing is that there are schools in Noah's city, which can provide knowledge and education for the children of the residents who have reproduced in Noah's city. This is a condition that the four satellite bases such as Liming Base do not have.
Such a city that is developing rapidly in all aspects and has accumulated abundant resources and facilities, if it is not in human territory, it will be a shrunken first-class city that can accommodate tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people without any problem. Due to the geographical factors of the occupied area, the population of Noah City is rising very slowly, and it could reach over 10,000.
The road to the center of Noah's City is quite long. Wu Qi was walking in the passenger seat and could see Hicks when he turned his head.
"General, he and his teammates are very grateful for your promotion. They..."
Hicks waved his legs: "I don't need to say more polite words. My boy doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can speak well. Like him, he is not the kind of person who shuts up and does more. They just get straight to the point. Let’s talk.”
Wu Qi was stunned for a second, his expression gradually relaxed, and his beautiful obsidian eyes showed some relief.
General Hicks appeared to be of a certain age, and his silvery hair and wrinkles showed signs of weathering. He appreciates himself very much and takes the situation of his teammates into consideration very much. He is like an elder.
When General Hicks put his right leg back on the steering wheel, Wu Qi suddenly noticed a touch of reflective metallic silver between General Hicks' right leg wearing a black leg brace and the cuff of the dark green general's uniform.
"General Hicks, your leg?"
"That's it." Hicks dragged the leg muff a few centimeters, exposing it to Wu Qi for two seconds.
His right leg is a silver-painted mechanical arm full of metallic texture, not a leg of human flesh and blood.
"Due to the side effects of the limit-breaking drug, he cannot inject cell active agents, so he temporarily uses mechanical prostheses. The technology in Buonao Noa City is very advanced, so the control of mechanical prostheses is no different from real legs. If he does not fight, it will be It's better than my own provocation." Hicks joked easily, as if he didn't treat Wu Qi as an outsider.
Wu Qi remembered the wrong fight between him and the tyrant on the roof of the No. 1 armed vehicle. At that time, he was blinded by the tyrant's black thread and could not see anything. Although he won in the end, General Hicks probably knew the final battle scene alone.
General Hicks was deprived of his right arm and left leg by the tyrant using the "Kingdom of Creatures", and was severely beaten. In other words, in the final scene of the decisive battle, if General Hicks injected a limit-breaking potion to help him, the tyrant would be accurately hit between the eyebrows by the long knife fragment blessed with 90 times the repulsion.
Wu Qi and Hicks chatted for a while about the initial decisive battle with the tyrant. The topic returned to Hicks' unusual promotion of Wu Qi and his team.
"There is no need to have any psychological burden. I feel that I have received a reward that is not worthy of the merits I have made. First, I saved the fully armed convoy of 100 people, which is equivalent to saving the Dawn Base from the loss of human resources of 100 people. Otherwise, Would that be a wound that could not be replenished for months or even a year? Second, if my all-out fighting allowed the Infernal Bones to be successfully transported to Noah City, and that would be an SS-level mission for the military headquarters in Dongda. Third, I saved him."
Hicks looked back at Wu Qi and said frankly and without any embarrassment: "I saved him and he saw me kill the tyrant with his own eyes. That's enough."
Wu Qiming turned red. Since General Hicks told him the current situation in the simplest and clearest way, he didn't need to worry too much as long as he accepted the favor.
"The place he asked to take us to when we come back to the east is the Supreme Command Building in the center of Noah City. From there we can see the 90-meter-high skyscraper." Hicks pointed to the window outside the car. One direction.
Wu Qi looked in that direction, and sure enough there was a dark glass building standing there. The almost entirely glass-free building reflects the blue sky and sunlight, looks deep and beautiful, and overwhelms the surrounding commercial district buildings at its height.
The highest authority building in five bases, including Noah Base, is concentrated, including the landmark of Noah City, the Supreme Command Building.
