In the Komodo Desert in the north of the City of Stars, just as everyone was rejoicing at having survived the calamity, the bracelets in their hands were flashing wildly.
At this time, Shen Qiu's bracelet also began to vibrate continuously.
Buzz~
New messages pop up one by one.
After a while, it showed 999+ unread messages...
Shen Qiu was also stunned for a moment. At this time, he glanced at Bai Mucheng, Long Er and others beside him, and found that the wristbands of everyone present were vibrating.
Everyone looked down at their bracelets.
Shen Qiu immediately lowered his head and clicked on the unread messages on the bracelet. As a result, he found 999+ messages, 99% of which were sent to him by Huang Lang.
This guy is texting himself like crazy.
Shen Qiu's heart suddenly tightened and he immediately clicked on a random message.
"Where are you? Something happened in the City of Stars. There are disqualified people everywhere."
…
"Where are you, Shen Qiu, you bastard? Come back soon! The company has been attacked!"
…
"Brother, please come back soon. This place is in chaos."
…
"Recruitment information: The City of Stars has been attacked. The third Star Envoy Shen Qiu is hereby recruited to return to the City of Stars immediately. Upon seeing this information, execute it immediately without any mistakes."
…
After reading the message, Shen Qiu looked up in surprise and said.
"What's going on? The City of Stars was attacked by the Disqualified? And the attack reached my place."
As a result, Shen Qiu just finished speaking, but found that everyone present was staring at the bracelet with a very ugly expression. Especially Long Er and Bai Mucheng, his bracelet was still vibrating, and new information kept popping up.
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"Ryuji, what happened to you?"
"What can we do? The Red Alliance has exploded."
Ryuji replied unhappily.
"Ah? The Red Alliance exploded? What happened?"
Shen Qiu was also shocked by Long Er's words and immediately asked.
At this time Bai Mucheng said to Shen Qiu coldly.
"Super zombie viruses have broken out in all five cities of the Red Alliance, infecting a large number of people."
"Corpse virus? The one from the Eighth City?"
The virus that was spreading in the Eighth City suddenly appeared in Shen Qiu's mind.
"I don't know the exact situation, but it's probably not that simple. Sigh! I managed to escape alive, but now there are flowers everywhere in my house."
Ryuji said with a sigh.
When Bai Mucheng heard Long Er's words, her eyes suddenly changed slightly, and she reacted and spoke.
"No, where's my father?"
"Ah? Bai Lin also entered the other world?"
"Yes, my father went in with me."
"Then make a quick call and see if you can get through."
Shen Qiu immediately said to Bai Mucheng.
"No need! You just remembered me now."
At this time, Bai Lin walked over with his hands behind his back and bruises all over his face.
"Father, are you okay?"
When Bai Mucheng turned her head and saw Bai Lin, a hint of surprise appeared in her cold eyes.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Shen Qiu asked rather awkwardly.
Bai Lin looked a little embarrassed and waved his hand.
"fine!"
At this time, Long Er on the side also reacted, slapped his thigh and said.
"Oh no, didn't the Longyan Council Chairman come out?"
When Shen Qiu and the others heard Long Er's words, they were stunned at first, then they reacted and said.
"Yes, Lord Long Yan, call quickly!"
If Council Chairman Long Yan was still in that world, things would be very serious.
Long Er immediately raised his bracelet and called Long Yan.
Beep~
Two seconds later, the call was picked up and Long Yan's steady voice sounded from the bracelet.
"Ryuji, what's the matter?"
"Hey, I'm glad you're back, brother."
Long Er immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
Shen Qiu and the others finally felt relieved.
"I'm back."
"Brother, where are you? Something happened in the Red Alliance."
"I know about the Red Alliance. I'm on my way back now."
“That’s great.”
When Long Er heard that Long Yan was already heading towards the Red Alliance, he felt a little relieved.
"You should come back as soon as possible."
After saying this, Council Chairman Long Yan hung up the phone, and a busy tone sounded on his bracelet.
"Hang up?"
At this time Shen Qiu looked at Long Er and asked.
"That's right, let's hang up after we finish talking."
"Call him back."
"Huh? Why are you calling him back?!"
"Of course I have something to ask him, so I asked him to come back!"
Long Er stared at Shen Qiu with his eyes wide open and replied in disbelief.
"Are you drifting, kid?"
"Forget it, I'll fight myself."
Seeing that Long Er was hesitating, Shen Qiu made the call himself.
The call was connected soon, and Long Yan's steady voice was heard from the bracelet.
"What's the matter, Shen Qiu?"
"Mr. Council President, please don't go back yet. Come over here and let me hand in the task first! I'm in a hurry to go back."
Shen Qiu said quickly.
When Council Chairman Long Yan heard what Shen Qiu said, he immediately understood what he was talking about, so he spoke without hesitation.
"Wait a moment, I'll be there right away."
"good!"
Shen Qiu then hung up the phone.
After seeing Shen Qiu hang up the phone, Long Er reached out and patted his shoulder, saying with deep emotion.
"You have made great progress. You even got the Speaker of the Parliament back!"
"I have something important to do, and the Speaker of the Parliament is always on the move. I have no choice but to ask him to come over."
Shen Qiu explained helplessly.
"sharp!"
Wu Di also gave a thumbs up and said.
Long Xiu was even more shocked. In his impression, his father seemed kind, but he was actually very serious and majestic. Almost everyone was respectful when they saw his father and dared not even breathe.
Even I don't dare to talk to him like that.
But Shen Qiu dared to do so, and his father was extremely kind to him. To be honest, Long Xiu was both surprised and a little envious.
Bai Lin, who was standing aside, looked at Shen Qiu with a complicated look. This kid really could constantly give people unexpected surprises.
Now he is even bold enough to call back the Speaker of the Parliament.
At this time, two figures staggered towards them from a distance. Wu Di and others turned their heads and saw Qi Kun walking towards them, supporting the seriously injured General Du Qi.
Seeing this, Wu Di immediately stepped forward.
"Du Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Du Qi looked at Wu Di and replied with a wry smile.
"I was surrounded and killed by the mechanical army in another world. Fortunately, I was saved by Mr. Qi Kun at the critical moment. This time I really thank him, otherwise I would have died in another world."
"Don't say that. We are all brothers. This is what we should do."
Qi Kun replied generously.
"Thank you."
Wu Di immediately expressed his gratitude to Qi Kun. Major General Du Qi was a direct subordinate of General Lu Yang. Since Lu Yang's death, his subordinates have been taken care of by Wu Di.
At this time, after Elvis and others finished reading their respective messages, they did not say goodbye to Shen Qiu and others. They turned around and left one by one, rushing back to the City of Stars.
Only members of the Red Alliance were left at the scene.
A moment later, a figure was seen moving towards here quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Council Chairman Long Yan appeared in front of everyone.
"Longyan Council Chairman, Big Brother..."
Long Er and others greeted respectfully.
Long Yan waved his hand and then said to Shen Qiu.
"Come with me!"
"good!"
Shen Qiu then followed Long Yan and left alone.
After the two of them arrived at a distance, Shen Qiu immediately took out the celestial bracelet and handed it to Long Yan.
When Long Yan saw the celestial bracelet, his cloudy eyes showed joy. He took it and said to Shen Qiu.
“Well done.”
"Council President, this bracelet is broken."
Shen Qiu coughed and said.
"It's normal. If it wasn't broken, the thief would have run away long ago."
Council Chairman Long Yan was not surprised at all.
"Also, the thief is dead."
Shen Qiu then added.
When Long Yan heard Shen Qiu's words, he looked up at him and asked.
"How did he die?"
"He was killed by someone from the Xinghui Department, and this bracelet ended up in my hands by accident."
"What a pity, but it doesn't matter, you've done a good job. By the way, the matter about the bracelet must be kept secret, it's best to keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone!"
"no problem."
Shen Qiu immediately nodded in response.
"Okay! Then I won't say any more to you. Something happened in the Red Alliance. I have to rush back immediately. You should also hurry back to the City of Stars."
Long stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder.
Shen Qiu nodded and walked towards Bai Mucheng and the others.
He came to Bai Mucheng and asked with concern.
"Mucheng, is your injury serious? Why don't you come back to the City of Stars with me and I will treat you."
"No, my father is waiting for me there. I want to go back to the Red Alliance with him."
"Okay, then you have to be careful. The situation of the Red Alliance this time is probably very serious."
"I know."
"If you have time, you can come to the City of Stars and sit for a while."
"Okay, bye!"
Bai Mucheng nodded, turned and left.
Shen Qiu looked at Bai Mucheng's leaving back, feeling a little sad. He didn't know when they would meet again after this separation, so he opened his mouth and shouted.
“Don’t work too hard!”
Bai Mucheng looked back at Shen Qiu, smiled, and continued walking towards Bai Lin.
Shen Qiu stood there, quietly watching Bai Mucheng and the others leave.
…
Twelve o'clock late at night.
Shen Qiu and Chen Ye appeared at the north gate entrance of the City of Stars.
From afar, one can see soldiers in mechanical armor and numerous Greedy Wolf Mechas, as well as enhanced Wolf Spiders and other weapons blocking the entrance.
"Boss, we're finally here!"
Chen Ye said, patting his chest.
"Walk!"
Shen Qiu pulled Chen Ye towards the entrance.
As the two approached, they saw a fierce conflict breaking out between groups of fully armed soldiers and several people wearing Star Shine uniforms at the entrance of the north gate, with both sides drawing their weapons and pointing them at each other.
"Oh my goodness, what's going on? Why is the boss fighting with his own people?"
Chen Ye asked in astonishment.
"I don't know either, let's go and take a look."
Shen Qiu had a very bad feeling.
At this time, the captain of the soldiers, Bull, who surrounded the Xinghui personnel, said viciously.
"You'd better cooperate, put down your weapons, and put on your gene suppression rings, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"Bullshit, I'm from the Xinghui department, and you think you can control me? Who do you think you are?"
"No matter who you are, as long as you are awakened, you must accept control. If you insist on not cooperating, don't blame us for treating you as disqualified!"
Bull said directly and fiercely.
As Bull finished his words, the Greedy Wolf Mechas and Enhanced Spider Tanks around him started moving one after another.
When the Star Shine staff saw that they were serious about this, they were very angry, but they finally compromised one by one and were handcuffed with gene suppression rings.
At this time Shen Qiu and Chen Ye stepped forward.
Bull and his men stopped Shen Qiu and Chen Ye without any suspense.
"Identify yourself."
"The third star envoy Shen Qiu!"
Shen Qiu didn't hide anything and just took out his ID card and replied.
When Bull heard Shen Qiu introduce himself, he immediately spoke as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Put on the gene suppressor and send to the quarantine area!"
Shen Qiu didn't react for a moment when he heard Bull's words. Bull's subordinates immediately stepped forward to control Shen Qiu. Seeing this, Chen Ye quickly stood in front of Shen Qiu and said.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear clearly? My eldest brother is a star envoy."
"The Star Envoys must also be isolated, otherwise if they get out of control, it will be even more terrifying!"
Bull gritted his teeth and replied.
"What's going on, and who gave you the right to do this?"
Shen Qiu came back to his senses and asked with a frown.
"We are following General Hebika's orders! No matter who they are, what their identities and positions are, all awakened ones will be quarantined!"
Bull replied directly.
In fact, the reason why General Hebica issued this order was that the artificial intelligence Selney weighed the pros and cons and deduced the best countermeasures to deal with the disqualified people.
Since a number of high-level officials including Speaker of the Oroco Council have been replaced, the City of Stars is leaderless. The current supreme commander has become Hebika, so his orders are the supreme orders.
When Chen Ye heard what Bull said, he was also dumbfounded, and he asked.
"All awakened ones are isolated? Aren't many of your own superiors awakened?"
"All of them will be quarantined. Those who disobey orders will be arrested."
Bull replied firmly.
"Are you sure you have the authority to arrest me?"
Shen Qiu asked with a strange expression after listening to it.
Bull and others were also startled, and then said.
"You want to resist?"
When Shen Qiu heard what Bull said, he was also speechless.
Fortunately, at this time, a middle-aged man with dark skin and wearing mechanical armor came over and asked.
"What happened to Bull?"
"Commander Detes, we are following orders to control all awakened people. The third star envoy Shen Qiu is not cooperating!"
Bull reported immediately.
When Detes heard what Bull said, he was also stunned, and then looked at Shen Qiu.
When he saw that the person in front of him was indeed the Third Star Envoy Shen Qiu, he immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Master Shen, you are back!"
"Yeah. I'm going into town."
Shen Qiu replied directly.
"No, sir. According to the orders from above, we have to isolate him."
Bull said immediately.
Deters slapped Bull on the head.
"Are you crazy? Are you isolating Lord Shen?"
"This is an order from above!"
Bull replied aggrievedly.
"It's an order from above, but you also have to look at the person who issued the order. Does his authority exceed that of Lord Shen Qiu?"
Deters said unhappily.
Just when Shen Qiu was about to tell them to stop arguing, his bracelet suddenly vibrated.
He looked down and saw a message from the artificial intelligence Selni.
"Respected Third Star Envoy Shen Qiu, please rush to the Twin City Palace immediately. Lord Oroco will hold an emergency meeting."
After reading this message, Shen Qiu immediately spoke to Detes and the others.
"Okay, stop scolding him. He is just following orders. I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting now. Give me a military off-road vehicle!"
"yes!"
Deters immediately responded respectfully.
Not long after, Shen Qiu drove a military off-road vehicle and took Chen Ye into the City of Stars.
Looking along the way, the originally bustling streets have now become unusually deserted, with fully armed soldiers and various patrolling mechanical weapons everywhere on the road.
Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew over in the sky from time to time. Except for some essential supermarkets, pharmacies and the like, almost all the shops were closed. From time to time, you could see some damaged buildings and streets.
"Boss, the online forum is stuck and I can't access it. I don't know if it's closed."
Chen Ye's face was full of confusion.
"Forget it, we'll find out when we get to the City Lord's Mansion."
Shen Qiu replied with a headache, he was really exhausted now, he had finally come back and thought he could have a good rest, but ended up with a lot of things to do.
…
A few hours later.
Shen Qiu drove an off-road vehicle to the gate of the Twin City Lord's Mansion.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with soldiers wearing mechanical armor and protective clothing, with a guard post almost every ten steps.
Fortunately, Oroco's secretary, Mawei, was at the door. She came up as soon as Shen Qiu and Chen Ye got out of the car.
"Master Shen, you are here."
"Hello, I'm here for a meeting."
"plz follow me!"
Mawei personally led Shen Qiu and Chen Ye into the City Lord's Mansion and went to the meeting room.
When Shen Qiu and others entered the parliament room, they saw that it was very lively inside. Vice President Yunkong, Ogusa, Zhuo En and other star envoys were all there.
There were also many elderly research doctors wearing white research suits. In addition, General Hebika and important officials from the Star Department were also present.
But what surprised Shen Qiu the most was that Leader Gilravi of the Gray Alliance was also there, but his face did not look very good.
At this time, Speaker Oroco saw that most people had arrived, so he spoke seriously.
"Everyone be quiet for a moment."
The noisy conference room suddenly became quiet.
Speaker Oroko said in a deep voice.
"Selni, please briefly explain the current situation of the City of Stars to the Star Envoys present!"
"yes!"
Selni's virtual image emerged and responded.
When Shen Qiu saw Oroco asking Serni to explain, he immediately pricked up his ears to listen. He was still confused and couldn't figure out what happened in the City of Stars.
"Everyone, this is what happened. The night after the auction, the defeated cultists attacked the Starry Sky Laboratory in the City of Stars. The Pure Light Virus stored inside the laboratory exploded, causing the people inside to be infected and become disqualified. From the laboratory, the virus spread to the City of Stars."
"This virus, called Pure Light, can be confirmed through our current research that it can cause Awakeners to lose control and become disqualified, and if an Awakener who loses control attacks another Awakener, that will also cause the other Awakener to be disqualified. So far, we have very limited information on it, and we cannot determine how long the incubation period of this virus is, or how it is transmitted..."
…
As Shen Qiu listened to Selni's introduction, his heart was in turmoil.
At this time, Angie secretly poked her head out and whispered to Shen Qiu in shock.
"Shen Qiu, isn't this the virus that caused the destruction of our world? You actually brought it here."
When Shen Qiu heard Anji's words, he was stunned. He remembered that when he was exploring Anji's world, he found the information about disqualification. Anji's world was destroyed because of disqualification.
Moreover, when the tomb of the mayor of the city of Anjikara was dug up, many awakeners lost control and became disqualified. The situation is exactly the same as the current situation of the City of Stars, except that one is milder and the other is more serious.
Shen Qiu lowered his voice and asked Angie.
"Angie, do you have any way to deal with this virus?"
"If there is a way, will our side be destroyed?"
Angie replied helplessly.
"Alas~"
When Shen Qiu heard what Angie said, he couldn't help but sigh.
After the artificial intelligence Serni finished the introduction, Speaker of the Oroco Council said in a deep voice.
"Do you have any good solutions now?"
"What should I do? I have no idea."
"Shouldn't we ask those PhD researchers about this? See if they have any ideas?"
…
Everyone started talking about it.
Seeing that no one present could come up with any constructive opinions, Council Speaker Oroco turned to look at the researchers.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
At this time, Dr. Colus, who was leading the research, said very nervously.
"Master Oroko Council President, we are now doing our best to study this virus, but we cannot make any major breakthroughs in a short period of time. We only know that ordinary people are not affected. Therefore, the most effective way now is to confine all awakened people and isolate them to find out the latent cycle!"
As soon as Kolus finished speaking, Zhuo En snorted coldly.
"You mean to imprison us too?"
"I dare not, but the most effective method now is isolation. After all, we don't know which awakened person is infected, or where in the city the disease remains."
Kolus wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"Although this method is good, it also has some problems. Even among the troops, most of the officers are awakened. If they are confined, who will command the troops? Isn't this a mess?"
Vice Speaker Yunkong said with a frown.
"We also know that this is inappropriate, but besides this method, what other methods are there?"
General Hebika said in a deep voice.
At this time, one of General Hebika's subordinates accused angrily.
"You, the Red Alliance, have the nerve to say that the culprit for the current state of the City of Stars is the Defeat Church. And isn't the Defeat Church the mess that you, the Red Alliance, haven't cleaned up yet?"
"What did you say?"
The members of the Red Alliance present were immediately angered.
"I'm talking about you guys."
"Say something if you dare!"
…
Just as the two sides started arguing, Yunkong slammed the armrest of the chair, stood up, and said angrily.
"Shut up. If you really want to settle accounts like this, it was you, the Blue Alliance, who brought that can of virus into the City of Stars in exchange for the favors from the Gray Alliance. You are the ones who bear the greatest responsibility."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Commander Gilravi, including Speaker of the Oroco Council.
Commander Gilravi cursed all the ancestors of the defeated leader in his heart. It was obvious that he had been tricked.
The defeated leader used his hand to send a bomb to the City of Stars.
But Commander Gilravi would never admit it, so he spoke in a cold voice.
"This has nothing to do with me. That can of virus was a welcome gift from me to Star City, but when I gave it to you, I told you that it was very dangerous. It was you who didn't keep it properly, and it exploded in the end. This has nothing to do with me. I hope that when you are trying to pass the buck, you can see clearly who is passing it on."
"Bullshit! If you say it's okay, then it's okay. Who knows if you did it on purpose?"
Many people present accused angrily.
Although what Gilrave said was reasonable and well-founded, it can't be separated from the matter no matter what.
Oroco and others have already made a note of this account in their minds, but the most urgent task now is to resolve the crisis facing the City of Stars, so the settlement of the account can only be postponed.
Therefore, before the situation got out of control, Speaker Oroco spoke in a deep voice.
"Stop arguing."
For a moment, the angry people present could only hold back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Gilrave's face was also livid and he said nothing.
Shen Qiu watched all this quietly, with no intention of getting involved.
"Boss, do you have any idea?"
Chen Ye asked in a low voice.
"There's nothing we can do. And judging from the situation, we might be quarantined as well."
Shen Qiu shook his head and replied helplessly.
At this time, Speaker Oroco also made a decision, and he said in a cold voice.
"Since no effective plan can be discussed, I officially announce that all awakened people in the City of Stars will be quarantined regardless of their identities and positions. As for the commanders of the troops, they will all be commanded remotely by phone and video. In addition, the Star Envoys are not subject to any control, and the people around the Star Envoys do not need to be controlled. However, the Star Envoys must guarantee that they will be responsible for any trouble that occurs."
"yes!"
Everyone present nodded in response.
"Today's meeting ends here. Let's all go home."
Oroco waved his hand and told everyone to go down.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qiu and others left one after another, and soon only Speaker Oroco and Ogusa were left in the conference room.
At this time, Mawei came in. She came to the side of the Speaker of the Oroco Council and spoke in a low voice.
"Mr. Council President, the preliminary investigation results from the laboratory are out."
"explain!"
Oroko replied indifferently.
"If something like that is lost, it must have been taken away by the defeated leader."
Mawi said in a low voice.
When Oroco heard Mawei's report, a strong murderous intent burst out from his deep eyes, and a terrifying aura spread.
"court death!"
Ogusa and Mawei were both frightened and tried to persuade him in horror.
"Father/Chairman, please calm down."
After hearing the two people's persuasion, Oroco's angry heart gradually calmed down. He raised his hand and waved and said.
"All of you go down, I'll be alone for a while!"
"yes!"
Ogusa and Mawei looked at each other and finally left respectfully.
…
On the other side, Shen Qiu drove Chen Ye back to the entrance of the Sun Umbrella Company.
The entire entrance of the Parasol Company was surrounded by Taiji Xiaofu, reinforced Spider Tanks, and cylinders. It was no exaggeration to say that it was heavily guarded.
As for the Parasol Building, apart from a charred patch on the wall, it did not appear to be damaged at all.
Shen Qiu took Chen Ye in.
The entire hall was brightly lit. Huang Lang was walking around in the hall. Zhang Can and others were also there. They were all wearing protective clothing and wrapped themselves tightly.
"Fat Yellow!"
Shen Qiu shouted.
When Huang Lang saw Shen Qiu coming back, he immediately rushed over, excitedly held Shen Qiu's hand, and kissed him madly.
"Brother, you are finally back."
"Disgusting, are you really that scared?"
"As for that, you haven't experienced what happened that day. Oh my god, it was simply the end of the world! The entire Star City exploded from the inside, and then spread to every corner of the city. There were disqualified people everywhere. All the awakened ones were in danger! And there were disqualified people attacking our company. I was scared to death!"
Huang Lang said this in an exaggerated manner.
At this time, Zhang Can also stepped forward and said to Shen Qiu.
"Brother, the riots are actually okay, but the subsequent arrests are the most troublesome. Now the entire Star City is arresting Awakeners everywhere. We dare not go out, because we will be arrested as soon as we go out."
Zhang Can also said this.
Shen Qiu said after pondering for a while.
"Don't go anywhere recently. Stay in the company. The City of Stars will soon issue a stricter quarantine order!"
"good!"
Huang Lang and others responded quickly.
At this time Shen Qiu suddenly discovered that Bei Kailun, Tang Kexin and others were not there, so he asked Huang Lang.
"Where are Huang Lang, Bei Kailun, Tang Kexin and the others?"
"I don't know. Aren't they with you?"
Huang Lang replied doubtfully.
"Oh no, they're not still in that world, are they?"
Shen Qiu slapped his forehead.
At this time, a voice with a hint of complaint came from behind.
"Senior, you just remembered us now?"
Shen Qiu turned his head and saw Tang Kexin, Bei Kailun and Qi Dong walk in and said happily.
"Come back, I'm glad you're okay."
"Captain, your concern is so perfunctory!"
Bei Kailun replied jokingly.
"It was a mistake. I didn't forget it for a moment. Anyway, I hope everyone comes back safely. It's late now. Let's all go to rest."
Shen Qiu replied awkwardly.
"good."
Bei Kailun and others nodded. They had not slept a wink since they overlapped into the other world.
Even the awakened ones couldn't hold on any longer, so Shen Qiu and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
…
Late Night Twin City Lord's Mansion (Red Alliance)
In the office.
Vice Speaker Yunkong was processing documents when suddenly his bracelet vibrated and a message popped up.
He looked down at the content of the message, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he immediately replied as before, with a thoughtful expression.
…
…
The next morning.
Shen Qiu was lying on the bed and snoring.
Bang Bang
A rapid knock on the door woke Shen Qiu up again.
Shen Qiu got up from the bed, walked to the door listlessly and opened it, only to see Chen Ye standing at the door in panic.
"What's wrong with you again?"
Shen Qiu asked unhappily.
"Boss, it's bad. The company is surrounded again."
Chen Ye swallowed and said.
"We're surrounded again? Who is it?"
Shen Qiu's drowsy head suddenly cleared up and he asked in surprise.
"You'd better go and see for yourself."
Chen Ye was also a little unsure.
After listening to Chen Ye's words, Shen Qiu hurried towards the stairs in his slippers.
Soon Shen Qiu brought Chen Ye to the company's gate, which was closed.
Bei Kailun, Huang Lang and others were all there, ready for battle.
Shen Qiu felt a little uneasy when he saw this scene. Could it be that the soldiers from the City of Stars came to capture Zhang Can and the others early in the morning
But it had to happen, so he didn't say much. He just opened the door and stuck his head out to see what was going on.
When Shen Qiu stuck his head out, he saw that there was indeed a large group of people blocking the door. However, Shen Qiu was very familiar with these people, and he knew many of them.
For example, Qin Li, the head of the Xinghui department, Yan Qing, the former deputy director of the KPI department, and others.
"you?"
Shen Qiu looked at them puzzledly and asked.
"Good morning, Lord City Lord."
Yan Qing and others greeted very politely.
When Shen Qiu heard what Yan Qing and others said, his brain suddenly froze and he looked at everyone in confusion.
"What did you call me?"
"Lord City Lord."
Qin Li replied with a smile on his face.
Shen Qiu's body shuddered suddenly, he immediately retracted his head and closed the door!
Chen Ye and others all gathered around at this time, looking at Shen Qiu in shock.
"Boss, they call you the city lord?"
Shen Qiu did not reply to Chen Ye's words, but immediately raised his bracelet and took a look, only to see an unread message.
He clicked on the message immediately.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen Qiu. You have been appointed as the acting mayor of the City of Stars. This appointment will take effect immediately upon receipt of the information!"
…
After seeing this message, Shen Qiu looked extremely excited.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
"Yes, senior, what's wrong with you?"
…
Tang Kexin and others asked curiously.
Shen Qiu did not answer them, but spoke to Chen Ye and the others.
"Close the door and don't open it without my order."
Before Tang Kexin and the others could react, Shen Qiu immediately rushed towards the stairs, leaving them standing there in a mess.
At this time, Shen Qiu returned to the room, closed the door, and immediately called Council Chairman Long Yan.
Beep~
"Hurry, hurry up and connect it!"
Shen Qiu said anxiously.
Fortunately, the call was connected quickly, and the kind voice of Council Chairman Long Yan came from the bracelet.
"Shen Qiu, why did you call me so early in the morning?"
"Mr. Council President, what is going on? How did I become the acting mayor of the City of Stars?"
Shen Qiu was in no mood to joke with Long Yan, so he quickly asked.
"Oh, you mean this matter. It's like this. Didn't you complete the mission for the bracelet? The problem is that the Red Alliance is in a very bad situation right now. We are short of money and can't afford the mission reward. So I decided to give you the position of city lord as a mission reward. You can also deal with the mess in the City of Stars."
Long Yan explained amiably.
“What a bummer!”
When Shen Qiu heard Long Yan's words, his face fell.
"What did you say?"
"No, no, Mr. Council President, please listen to me. This is not possible. There is no way I can be the city lord."
"Why not?"
"Lord Long Yan, please stop teasing me. This is also not legitimate. How can you appoint a city lord like this?"
"Why not? Aren't the mayors of all the cities under the Red Alliance directly appointed by the Red Alliance?"
"I'm just a warrior. You can ask me to charge into battle and kill monsters. But you want me to be the city lord. Isn't that embarrassing for me?"
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? Besides, no one is born knowing how to be a city lord. Just learn it slowly."
Long Yan replied with a smile.
"Lord Long Yan, can you please not refuse this reward?"
Shen Qiu replied with a helpless smile.
Long Yan suddenly said seriously.
"No, this is an order that cannot be refused. Do you think this is a child's play? And didn't you say you would serve the people? Where is your consciousness? Have you forgotten what you said so quickly?"
When Shen Qiu heard Long Yan's words, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he say so many righteous words for no reason
This time he shot himself in the foot.
"All right."
"That's right, just do it boldly."
When Council Chairman Long Yan saw Shen Qiu compromise, he replied very satisfied, his tone changing 180 degrees.
Shen Qiu listened to Long Yan's words and felt resentful in his heart.
He found that the two brothers Long Er and Long Yan were simply amazing. They were really like brothers. When Long Er cheated someone, he would not pay with his life, but when Long Yan cheated someone, he would cost their life!
But now that things have come to this, he can only say this.
"Chairman Long Yan, let me say something first. I tried my best, but if I messed up, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, that won't happen. Just don't destroy the City of Stars. But I still have some advice for you."
"You say."
"Shen Qiu, listen carefully! After you take the position of the Lord of the Star City, you are no longer alone, and you can no longer act arbitrarily like before. Even if you have a temper, you can no longer lose it easily. There is a saying that goes, you should do your job and fulfill your responsibilities. After you become the Lord of the City, you will have to consider and weigh many things from the perspective of the Lord of the City, because you are no longer representing an individual, but the Lord of a city, and you are responsible for the entire city."
Long Yan taught earnestly.
"good!"
Shen Qiu was also deeply touched by Long Yan's words.
"There is one more thing. During your tenure as city lord, try not to conflict with the Blue Alliance's Oroko Council President. As long as it is not a matter of principle, you should give in to him a little. What we need now is peace. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Also, don't manage the people of the Blue Alliance. Although the laws of the City of Stars give us the right to manage them, the unspoken rule is that we each manage our own people, unless their people harm us."
Long Yan then instructed.
"I understand that."
When Shen Qiu heard what Long Yan said, he immediately understood the twists and turns.
"One last thing, be a good city lord. If you mess up, I will give you a bath myself."
Long Yan said with a smile.
When Shen Qiu heard what Council Chairman Long Yan said, he immediately cursed in his heart, what a rip-off!
If you scrub your body yourself, won’t you end up with a layer of skin peeled off
Shen Qiu was suddenly startled and quickly made the promise.
"No, I will definitely do my best."
"Very good, I won't talk to you for now, I have a lot of things to deal with here."
After saying this, Council Chairman Long Yan hung up the phone.
Shen Qiu looked at the hung bracelet and sighed. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still had to face it.
So he walked to the door and opened it.
As a result, when the door opened, Chen Ye and his companions almost fell in.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Qiu asked with a dark face.
"No, no boss, we are just passing by."
“Yes, passing by!”
…
Chen Ye and his companions replied awkwardly.
"Come on, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"Hey, Boss, we are just curious, are you really the Lord of the City of Stars?"
Chen Ye asked excitedly, rubbing his hands.
"Yes, that's right."
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"Wow, then we're going to be rich, Boss, quickly get a blank approval document and allocate a piece of land to us! No, one piece is too little, give me two! I know there are a lot of vacant land in the Red Alliance."
Chen Ye said excitedly.
"Good idea. Just scratch off a piece of it. It's worth our hard work for a long time."
Bei Kailun replied in agreement.
Shen Qiu kicked Chen Ye in annoyance.
"Chen Ye, I think you are itching to be punished. You can even come up with such a bad idea."
Shen Qiu could imagine the consequences of what he did. It would be strange if Long Yan didn't skin him alive.
