At around 0:04, Li Wen, standing on the wall of Zion, took a pack of cigarettes from Secretary Liu's pocket and lit one for himself.
Secretary Liu looked at him but said nothing.
Until the first ray of light in the darkness fell at the end of their vision.
boom!
The bombardment of this energy weapon, the explosion, shock wave, and the shocking effect on the surroundings made Li Wen feel an unprecedented satisfaction.
This kind of satisfaction is called power.
"The truth is only within the range of the cannon."
Secretary Liu at the side twitched his mouth. The minister was not like this before, and would never say such words.
It’s Xu Le’s fault that even the minister was led astray by him.
The shock wave from the powerful explosion took a while to reach the high walls of Zion. The wind ruffled Li Wen's hair and made the other guards standing on the high walls feel a little uncomfortable.
The power of the weapon is really outrageous.
Even the extremely strange ghost species were completely disintegrated into particles under this violent psychic energy explosion.
Li Wen was watching the space-based artillery washing the ground outside the city of Zion, and for a moment he was distracted. He took out his communicator and dialed Xu Le's number.
"Xu Le."
"What's the matter, Uncle Li?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you the same question you asked before."
"What's the problem?"
"Is space-based cannon damage physical or magical?"
"..." Xu Le was speechless. Li Wen asked this question during this dark time. He must be seriously ill.
"What did Uncle Li eat tonight?"
"Beef and potatoes."
“Is it delicious?”
"To be honest, it's a bit salty, but it still tastes good."
The two chatted loudly, and there were law enforcers or soldiers around them. Such a conversation seemed out of place in the dark night.
It's not that we can't joke around or chat about family matters, but the Kuroshio has always been a very serious matter in the past.
Now, that’s a little weird…
…
On the sky platform, Xu Le stood with his hands behind his back, at the very edge of the platform.
This position looks a bit scary. If you are afraid of heights, you may not like it very much.
Ai Li was still directing the battle, and the only guard beside Xu Le was Wang Shu.
There are also some law enforcement officers who were transferred over.
Of course they knew the young congressman Xu Le. After all, Xu Le has become an idol for many Zion people.
Li Wen’s deification movement was still effective.
A very thoughtful female law enforcer took the initiative to come over and remind:
"Councilman Xu Le, isn't it a bit dangerous to stand here? If your safety cannot be guaranteed, we will be blamed."
Xu Le was still swaying in the cold wind, especially since he was wearing a long windbreaker today, which fluttered in the wind.
Wang Shu curled his lips. He didn't know whether Xu Le was pretending to be cool or was really thinking about something, so he didn't bother him.
The female law enforcer was standing behind Xu Le. She suddenly noticed the black spot in the distance and realized that something strange might be coming. She immediately shouted to Xu Le:
"Councilor Xu Le, be careful, there is an enemy attack."
Xu Le, who had been silent all this time, opened his eyes at this time. It was unclear whether he had finished thinking or his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the female law enforcer.
He glanced ahead, and the shadows of a group of level 3 night crows appeared in the ancient sound multi-vision.
A group of ghost species and deformed species combined, there are quite a lot of them.
Xu Le gently raised his hand with his palm facing up.
A black ball appeared in his hand.
He took out the black stick with his right hand and knocked on the ground of the platform. The black ball in his left hand immediately spread outwards.
A dark fog enveloped the entire area.
The night crows that shuttled through the dark fog did not care about the darkness around them. It was not until they were close enough to Xu Le that the dark fog turned into particles and entered their bodies.
Then, these dark forces began to rapidly drain the vitality of these night crows.
Their bodies quickly shrivel up, and their life energy is devoured by the darkness in a short period of time.
Soon, this group of night crows turned into a pile of mummies and rotten bones and fell from the sky.
The result is naturally crushed to pieces.
The female law enforcer witnessed this scene with her own eyes. She was deeply shocked by the evil and shocking way of killing.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She and Xu Le were very close, and this was the first time she saw that the usually gentle and polite Councillor Xu Le was actually a warlock with such evil abilities...
Not only was she evil, but she was also… but she also had a very elegant vibe to her.
The sound of swallowing and spitting made Xu Le laugh. He seemed to know what the female law enforcer was thinking and said softly:
"Don't be surprised, because elegance never goes out of style."
"Um, sir."
Unconsciously, the female law enforcer changed her way of addressing Xu Le from "councilor" to "sir".
This change happened silently, but its meaning was obvious, that is, the strong shock and the personal worship hidden in the heart.
Xu Le stood above Zion, observing the war from a better angle than Li Wen.
This can no longer be considered a war, but rather it is Zion's venting of the weirdness that has occurred over the past year or so following the sudden increase in pressure from the black tide.
The close-in defense guns were hardly used, but the space-based artillery was still diligently cleaning the ground.
This was what Xu Le had told Ai Li in advance, not to worry about the issue of resources.
Give the soldiers confidence, the confidence to fight against the extraordinary people, the confidence to fight against the black tide and the monsters.
So in this battle, the gunners of the space-based cannons had a great time, but as for the city defense soldiers, they felt a little bored at this time.
Xu Le's action of releasing darkness just now was actually a test.
He wanted to know whether Zion's military system could accept someone like him who possessed evil power.
If you can't accept it, you will have to pretend more in the future.
If he wants to be the will of Zion, he needs a city to run for him and enough resources to do something big enough.
Therefore, you still need to preserve your bright and just side.
The ability leans towards the dark side, and it is very likely to cause psychological discomfort to some people.
However, judging from the expressions of these law enforcers and soldiers, he was completely worrying too much.
Even though these soldiers are Zionists, they also have a worship of strength.
"It's simply a miracle... This is the change you have brought to Zion." Another law enforcement officer confided.
Xu Le smiled:
"Aren't you afraid of this dark power?"
"Your power has dispelled the darkness and the black tide for Zion. This is the power of justice. Why should we be afraid
The light and dark of power lies not in the power itself, but in its user."
“Yes, it is you who brought this change to Zion…”
"I am willing to serve Master Xu Le."
The words of these law enforcement officers already represent the thoughts of most people.
After hearing what they said, Xu Le felt more at ease. It is very important to gain recognition from the public.
"Very good, then let's go all out and let the monsters of the Black Tide feel the power of Zion."
"yes."
After Xu Le gave the order, he injected spiritual energy into his black ball again.
The dark aura continues to expand.
Xu Le's spiritual energy can almost be said to be endless, so he doesn't care about the consumption at this time, he just wants to spread the range of the black fog as much as possible.
As long as the black fog continues to spread, it will cover the entire Zion sooner or later.
Only then will Zion truly belong to him.
…
Intense beams of light continued to wash over the ground, with explosions and flames raging.
Two old men who had been floating in the sky were observing all this. They knew the changes in Zion best.
For they have been in the land since the founding of Zion.
Although they are not the creators of Zion, they are indeed the ones who witnessed Zion's growth bit by bit.
"Hehehe, Zion has changed. Such a powerful weapon is really an incredible invention."
Yi Xiaoya laughed loudly and drank a lot of wine.
She looked a little drunk, but that didn't stop her from being in a good mood.
Watching a large number of monsters turned into ashes under the artillery fire might be a very happy thing for Yi Xiaoya.
"Master Yi Xiaoya, are you still in the mood to joke here? Now that Zion has mastered such a powerful force, it is already dangerous.
This kind of thing must be reported to the Temple."
The old man who spoke was a little short, and his eyes were full of worry. He was far from being as calm as Yi Xiaoya.
Seeing the old man's behavior, Yi Xiaoya smacked her lips a few times:
"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao An, you are over 100 years old, why are you still so immature? Our mission is to monitor the growth of Zion and provide them with a safe enough environment.
What else do you want to do? You're almost dead, don't get too excited or you'll have a heart attack.
Come, I have a few more glasses of wine here, would you like some to calm you down?"
"Master Yi Xiaoya, we are the messengers of the Red Moon Temple. We have sworn an oath to the Red Moon Temple..."
"Hey, what did Xu Le say... Take it easy, I've been here for over 100 years, and the head of the Red Moon Temple has changed eight times. Is it that serious?"
The corners of old man Xiao An's mouth twitched. This old man in front of him... Never mind, he is quite old himself.
“I still think that Xu Le’s behavior is too dangerous. After he became a councillor, the entire Zion is changing, and these changes are very risky.
He is an uncontrollable person for both the Red Moon Temple and Zion. If he continues like this, no one knows what will happen.
I think we should arrest him and send him to the Red Moon Temple, and let the people of the temple deal with it. This is our responsibility."
Bang! ~
Yi Xiaoya slapped the old man Xiao An directly, making his head buzz.
"Xiao An, you are really getting more and more outrageous. Our duty is to be a guardian, not a destroyer.
You see Zion is thriving now, so why do you want to destroy it? What kind of logic is this
You should have heard about the situation of Dengta and Tianrui Lifeng, right
So what? Too much intervention will only lead to various unpredictable situations, or even more terrible results, such as Tianrui Lifeng, which has now been pushed to the opposite side of the Red Moon Temple.
Xiao An, do you want Zion to become like that? "
"Uh... I didn't mean that." Xiao An was a little hesitant after hearing what Yi Xiaoya said.
He wanted to fulfill his duties, but he also didn't want to cause too much interference as Yi Xiaoya said, so that the entire Zion would stand against the Red Moon Temple.
"If you don't mean that, just be honest. Isn't Zion fine now
Look at these young guys, they are so brave when fighting monsters. They are the future of the entire human race. We should bless them and help them instead of becoming obstacles to them.
Do you understand? "
"Okay, okay, anyway, I can't beat you."
In the end, Xiao An chose to give up. It would be better to observe the problem between Zion and Xu Le for a while longer.
In fact, the relationship between Xiaoan and Yi Xiaoya is equal.
They are both guardians of Zion sent by the Red Moon Temple.
However, out of respect for Yi Xiaoya, Xiao An obeyed her and tolerated her in everything.
If he insisted on taking Xu Le back to the Red Moon Temple, Yi Xiaoya would not really fight with him.
Xiao An stared at the sky platform for a while, and finally just sighed and left.
Yi Xiaoya grinned after Xiao An left.
“Hahahaha, kid, I can only help you up to this point… hahahaha.”
…
At the same time, the lighthouse.
Compared to Zion's fireworks and various light sticks crushing the black tide, the situation at the lighthouse was much weirder.
Jin Mingzhu and Zhou Bi made a lot of preparations for this black tide.
But the current situation is... the black tide weirdness did not appear.
Not only them, but also the guards and militiamen who were temporarily recruited had strange expressions at this time.
Kuroshio, gone
"Hello, Lao Liu?"
"What is it?"
"If Kuroshio doesn't come today, will the money promised by the two leaders still be paid?"
"I don't know!"
In order to deal with this black tide, Zhou Bi promised a large sum of money.
Many untrained civilians in the lower city were forced to become militiamen and join the battle against the Black Tide.
This seems a bit stupid.
Because civilians have no way to control their mental energy.
Once they generate a lot of fear, it will only lead to worse results.
But Zhou Bi had no other choice.
If the militia is not mobilized, Lighthouse may not even be able to fully deploy the city defense team. Once the civilians of Lighthouse lose confidence, the entire city will collapse.
This was a result that neither he nor Jin Mingzhu could bear.
Moreover, Xu Leyun brought a lot of new weapons. They have already tested their power and found them to be very powerful. This is also the reason why Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu have the confidence to defend the city.
But the current situation is so weird...
"What to do? Do you want to go out and take a look?" Jin Mingzhu looked at Zhou Bi.
"Let's wait until daybreak." Zhou Bi rejected the idea of going out to explore now.
The Kuroshio Current is dangerous.
At this time, at the outermost edge of the lighthouse, a large amount of flesh and blood and branches were crisscrossed together.
A thick root pierced the giant's chest and skull, killing him on the spot.
The roots were also torn off by the giant's powerful force.
A scene of tragic plants fighting animals.
It's happening now.
The result of this performance was a river of blood.
