The interviewer on the news didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until a blond boy suddenly broke into the picture and snatched the microphone from Shen Tingyu's hand that he said to the camera: "I'm sorry, our admiral is just too self-blaming and too nervous for his first interview, so he said nonsense."
Xie Nanjun said seriously: "So, please ignore what the admiral just said."
Xu Qingran was watching in front of the TV in silence.
Xie Nanjun was worthy of being the representative of the Golden Wing Battalion who was used to being interviewed. He quickly stabilized the scene that was disrupted by Shen Tingyu's several depth charges.
He said in a serious tone: "The treacherous whereabouts and movements of the devils have always been a difficult problem for the Empire to track, especially the three types of devils I, II and III. They have natural and excellent camouflage and can hide well in the universe. The sound waves emitted by the III type when flying can interfere with most of the existing scientific detectors in the Empire. It is still difficult to completely lock their whereabouts."
Xie Nanjun took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "No one in our Golden Wing Army wants to see any accidents happen to the Tianqin system. When the incident happened, the admiral was very responsible and led the troops to the scene to deal with it as soon as possible."
"The main reason for accepting the interview today is to inform the people of Tianqin that the group of demons that invaded Tianqin have been successfully expelled and eliminated under the command of Admiral Shen. The defenses around Tianqin have also been strengthened and rebuilt. The military is conducting strict inspections in the area to ensure that Tianqin will not become a new base for the demons."
After Xie Nanjun responded, he forced the microphone onto the host and pulled Shen Tingyu out of the news screen.
Before the live interview switched to the main screen, one could still hear the media discussing heatedly below.
Xu Qingran didn't continue reading. He walked out of the building expressionlessly, went to an empty corner and sent a communication request to Shen Tingyu.
I requested three times, but no one answered.
Xu Qingran was calm.
—Very good, then don’t answer it for the rest of your life.
Although he didn't understand the situation of the Tianqin military base, the Golden Wing Camp was so large and there were so many people responsible for its defense. It seemed that it was not Shen Tingyu's responsibility alone.
Xu Qingran got angry when he thought about how he had been working so hard for his career here, but this bastard just resigned without saying a word.
It’s best not to let him see him for a short time, otherwise he will definitely beat you up first.
In the end, Shen Tingyu failed to resign from his position as General.
The main reason was that once his interview, whose authenticity was not known, came out, public opinion quickly exploded online.
Even on the Xingya Forum, which is known as the "Xu Qingran Special", it caused heated discussions.
All major social media platforms are filled with the voices of resistance from the people of the Golden Wing.
They believed that the Golden Wing Camp put too much pressure on Shen Tingyu, which led him to make such a decision for the first time in so many years, so they were protesting to the Golden Wing Camp.
[It's poisonous, right? Can this be blamed on Admiral Shen alone? Why? Are the officers and soldiers in other camps just for show? ]
[Who doesn't know that the Admiral is responsible for Tianqin and also has to deal with all matters of the headquarters? Take the incident in the Silver Dragon area earlier, for example, he was also asked to go to support the opposing camp! Although he is an E-type, he is also a person. The Admiral was not there when the incident happened, so how can he be blamed? ]
[A while ago, a bunch of veterans of Silver Dragon resigned en masse due to dissatisfaction with the management. I advise you, Gold Wing, not to be ungrateful and also want to learn to make the people under you feel disappointed! ]
[Let me put this on record. If you, the Golden Wing, dare to expel Admiral Shen, your camp will be doomed! ]
It was not until the incident broke out that I realized that more than 90% of the comments online about Shen Tingyu, the E-type, were praise and defense.
There are also hardcore Golden Wing fans who have compiled his achievements since he joined the military. From leading a lagging team alone in his first year after graduation, fighting his way out of the siege of the Zerg who were trying to invade the border of the empire and killing their leader, to recently assisting the Sky Eagles in retaking several regions.
He worked hard all year round to accomplish important tasks, and even small matters like inspecting the evil tower had to be handled personally. He was an outstanding general with no flaws except for his achievements.
Even the Silver Dragon spectators couldn't help but join in the fun.
[Then it would be fine if General Shen 'married' to our Silver Dragon. ]
[Warm welcome from the Silver Dragon people!]
[That’s right, you can also join forces with our little madman to conquer the world together! ]
The Golden Winged People were really afraid of this happening.
After all, everyone knows that Shen Tingyu has a good relationship with Xu Qingran now.
So there was another quarrel.
The people of Golden Wings are frantically putting pressure on the camp, demanding that they come forward to explain the matter and that the people must be kept.
Finally, the official consultant of Jinyi came out to refute the rumor, saying that Jinyi Camp never put the responsibility of this mistake on Shen Tingyu, and would not give him any punishment of dismissal. Regarding Shen Tingyu's intention to resign, the camp firmly rejected this decision.
It even alarmed the royal family, who ordered their political officials to send an official letter to Jin Yi, asking them to handle the matter properly.
The meaning is very clear. If you, the Golden Wing Battalion, really take Shen Tingyu away, you will bear the consequences.
In Mu Ziyue's office at the Golden Wing Headquarters, he sat cross-legged on a dark office chair, his emerald green eyes slightly looking downward at the letter sent from the palace on the table with a cold look.
Only now did he clearly realize that the boy who had been slaughtered by him in the evil tower was no longer a nobody that he could easily kill with his power. The E-type, who should have been feared by everyone, had been doubted and insulted by many Golden Wings people when he entered the military.
Now, they all support it.
Nine years, you are really patient, Shen Tingyu.
If you dare to join the Golden Wing Camp after coming out of the evil tower, you are destined to continue to be targeted and tortured by him. But he still underestimated the determination of this E-type. For so many years, he didn't show any fox tail. His emotions were so stable that there was no flaw. He turned all the humiliation into a sharp blade that could stab him.
What Mu Ziyue hates most is this thing about Shen Tingyu.
E-type has so many flaws, why doesn't he have any? When will someone who can become his weakness appear? I thought Xu Qingran had a chance with him, but the official data on the match was the lowest.
Mu Ziyue became even angrier when she thought of this.
Shen Tingyu has really grown powerful now, and even dared to intercept the fighter plane that was about to attack Xu Qingran!
This time when the Tianqin system was in trouble, no one knew better than him how great the actual loss of Jin Yi was.
The latest spiritual weapon he had developed after spending eight years on it was all destroyed! He had invested billions of dollars in building the base, and the project was almost finished, but now it was back to the days before liberation!
But he couldn't take his anger out on Shen Tingyu!
Mu Ziyue narrowed her eyes and thought, then remembered the official letter from the palace.
Forget about other things, what made him most angry was the letter sent from the palace, which was simply a slap in the face of him as the commander-in-chief.
Thinking of this, he reached out, picked up the letter on the table, lit a lighter and burned it.
He didn't let go until the flames were about to lick the fingers holding the letter, and watched the ashes fall into the ashtray on the table.
After a few seconds, he grabbed the ashtray and smashed it hard.
The direction of the smash was exactly where Ling Yuege's desk was, and the fragments flew everywhere. One of the fragments accidentally scratched her face, leaving a shallow blood mark. However, Ling Yuege seemed not to feel the pain and did not care at all, and continued to work with her eyes fixed on the screen.
Mu Ziyue in the room murmured coldly: "This old man, why doesn't he just die?"
Are you going back on your word and breaking your promise
He thought with a grim expression, then asked Ling Yuege, "How is the research I asked you to follow up on a few days ago going now?"
Ling Yuege looked up at him, tapped her fingers on the keyboard for a few times, and replied after a while: "The people at the research institute said that the finished product has been produced and is undergoing final testing."
Mu Ziyue's stern expression finally relaxed a little.
"Very good, let them notify me immediately when the results come out."
The controller given to Minghai last time was not enough to stimulate Shen Tingyu's spiritual pool, so this time he had someone develop a stronger one. Even if there was nothing that could naturally restrain him, he would create one artificially!
·
When Shen Tingyu's "inappropriate words" fermented on the Internet, Xu Qingran also followed it while he was still in the East City Headquarters.
At this time, two days had passed since the incident.
He didn't call Shen Tingyu again, but when he was eating melons online, he couldn't help but forward the blog post with the highest number of likes, with the comment: Idiot.
After forwarding the message, he logged out of the website and left the camp in the East District.
So he didn't know that what he thought was a small account forwarding was actually the big account that was now called "Colonel of the Silver Dragon Battalion". He didn't know that not long after he forwarded it, Shen Tingyu's big account replied to him: Sorry, the communicator was accidentally broken.
The heat that was about to die down was stirred up again by these two people.
[I smell something unusual?]
[Although, hahahahahaha! ]
[So has the Admiral been in touch with our little madman? Can you please tell the little madman to start broadcasting? I really miss him! ]
[It is normal for a brother-in-law and his niece to have a good relationship. Netizens please be rational! ]
[Does the Admiral know where our little lunatic is assigned? There are rumors that he was sent to Tianlong. I can't accept this! Such a remote place, what's the difference between this and a direct disconnection? ! ]
[Okay, okay, you crazy guy, we've been tagging you for a month and you ignored us. When the admiral has a problem, you're the first to be the one to watch the show, right?]
[To be honest, the Admiral and Young Master Xu have a really good relationship, so does the Admiral really not consider switching to our Silver Dragon? ]
In the next few days, Xu Qingran helped the army in District 12 arrange the follow-up cleanup of District 10.
Although District 10 is small, it still covers an area of about 100,000 square kilometers. In fact, the real work has just begun. If you want to completely liberate this district, it will take some time given the limited manpower and military resources.
During this period, we must also prevent the rise of another super-powerful Class I overlord.
He gave Lin Xuan and Lin Ya some advice and helped them plan the cleaning route based on their personnel situation.
Things were going quite smoothly, and Lin Xuan's attitude softened slightly when facing him.
Perhaps he had initially recognized his ability. Lin Xuan had gone from rejecting him indiscriminately at the beginning to at least saying to him now: "I don't ask you to follow the latest demands. If you can really get new military resources for our South City and do what other colonels can't do, I..."
He still had a bit of a tough talk: "For my sister's sake, I'll give you a chance to govern Upper South Continent well!"
Xu Qingran raised his phone: "Okay, I recorded it."
Lin Xuan: “… ?”
In contrast, the situation is not so optimistic for Ma Biao, the leader of South City District 1-9.
After he met Xu Qingran, the defense battle of Areas 1 and 2 lasted for another half a month.
The tide of attacks in Zones 3 and 5 has not been alleviated, and the number of times that Type I sneaks into residential areas with the help of Type IV is increasing. The high-intensity workload makes it impossible for the military guards under Ma Biao to restore their mental pool to full every day, so their condition is getting worse day by day.
Every day there were guards who had to stand while entering the area and were injured and carried out horizontally from the area.
And it’s increasing day by day.
Later, even patrol guards from other stations were dispatched, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Someone suggested: "Brother Ma, why not... borrow some people from Lieutenant Colonel Lin?"
Everyone knew that Ma Biao and Lin Xuan had a bad relationship because of their different philosophies. Unless they had no other choice, they didn't want to make such a bold suggestion.
But they have heard about the recent changes in South City Districts 10-18.
First, the good news came from District 10 that the overlord had been taken down, and then they heard that they had made great progress in cleaning up other districts, and were praised by other residents of South City. It was said that as long as everything went smoothly, the group led by Lin Xuan would have a chance to take back District 10.
People in the upper part of South City were very envious of such progress.
As a fellow citizen of South City, there's nothing shameful in asking for some help from the lower half, right
"If it doesn't work, we can just bow to the new colonel and borrow some people from Dongcheng."
In addition to the military headquarters, Dongcheng also has some residential areas and disaster-stricken areas.
In addition to the patrol and cleaning teams, there are also some reserve troops stationed in the camp. However, they are all soldiers under the command of the colonel who holds the main military token of Shangnanzhou. Most of them come from other star systems and can only be mobilized by the colonel.
As for the disintegrating Upper South Continent, the other city districts had long since broken away from the control of the military and were acting freely in order to protest against the Silver Dragon and refuse to obey.
In the past, those colonels didn't care, let alone care, and in order to teach their "rebellion" a lesson, they would not send troops to them even if they knew there was trouble in their area, unless they changed their minds and decided to obey.
So Ma Biao was still very determined: "No need, we can handle the matter well, why should we show weakness to them?!"
In fact, it is just not handled well.
Especially in the past two days, he heard that the area around his house seemed to have become a place for Type I loopholes, and there were news of attacks on nearby residents' homes from time to time. Ma Biao was anxious about the bad situation in Districts 1 and 2, and put more pressure on his soldiers.
That night, a guard who was under great pressure and was scolded for not doing his job well finally couldn't help but explode.
After being scolded at the station, he started to yell and scream like crazy, then pointed at Ma Biao and angrily expressed his long-held complaints: "Enough! I can't squeeze out even a drop of mental energy to give you even if you scold me again!"
"I'm just a B-rank soldier. My mental pool isn't as deep as yours. I haven't rested for ten days and have been defending the line with all my heart! Do you think I don't want to work hard? This is my limit. What can I do?!"
"The situation is already tense, and I have to endure the humiliation every day at work!"
He cursed as he took off his heavy hat and threw it to the ground.
With red eyes, he asked angrily, "It has come to this, and you still have to care about your ridiculous face! Is it difficult to admit that you just can't do it, and admit that we in the upper half need help from others right now?!"
"Okay, since you think I'm useless, I should just die, right?" The recruit who was in a bad mental state curled his lips and suddenly raised the mental gun in his hand and pointed it at his temple, "Ma Biao, I'm going to die right now in front of you!"
A bang was heard, and before the people around could react, they saw the emotionally agitated guard falling down.
The rest of the people at the checkpoint were instantly panicked and rushed forward to help the man up and check the situation.
A senior officer shouted, "It's okay. He doesn't have much mental energy left. He's only disturbed his mental pool, not seriously injured! Send him back to the camp in Area 4 and find... I remember there are two B-level D-types in the camp, right?"
"It might be better if they cooperate and help stabilize it!"
Someone replied: "Yes, there are... However, everyone has consumed too much mental energy in the past few days. They have been helping everyone replenish their mental energy. It is said that they have fainted from exhaustion."
The person who proposed it had no choice but to say, "… It's okay, let's send it to the military doctor first!"
The unconscious guard was quickly helped into the car.
Everyone around was busy coming in and out, only Ma Biao was still standing there in a daze.
Ma Biao had a bad temper, and most of his subordinates were constrained by his ability and succumbed to his tyranny, and they always maintained a relatively distant superior-subordinate relationship with him. Therefore, he could not personally understand their difficulties, and they also had resentment under his crazy pressure.
Such an accident happened today, and some guards who had already been pushed to their limits began to want to give up.
They all looked at Ma Biao with disheartened eyes, put down their weapons, supported each other and left the checkpoint.
I don't know who it was, but when passing by, he said something intentionally or unintentionally: "I really envy my cousin who works in District 12. I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Lin is capable and not arrogant. He is easy to get along with and always gives priority to their physical condition."
"If I had known, I should have listened to him and stayed in District 12. Why did I have to fight for my ambition and be a hero?"
There were only a few guards left who had the strength to continue fighting. After holding on for a while, they fell down one after another.
The derivatives of the devil group have broken through the warning line, but Ma Biao had no choice but to announce the suspension of tonight's operation.
The checkpoint was soon deserted.
Only Sun Hongbing, who was transferred here and had a slightly better relationship with Ma Biao, said hello to him before leaving because he had served them a good meal.
"Brother Ma, if it really doesn't work, just arrange for the people in Area 1 and Area 2 to evacuate first." The senior veteran who had just helped check on the injured guards came over, patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
He exhaled and said, "I'll go back and rest first, and try to recover more mental strength."
Every time such a large-scale cleaning operation is carried out, there will be onlookers from the residential areas near the checkpoint.
After all, the place is safe, and a small number of people are concerned about their families, so they all watch at the power concentration area. Today, when Ma Biao was about to leave, he saw his familiar family in the gradually dispersing crowd.
He was a little surprised, and then he became furious: "... Why are you here?!"
"Didn't I tell you guys that this place is dangerous and not to come here?!"
Several children were frightened by his angry scolding.
I noticed that their eyes were red as if they had just cried. Tears quickly gathered in the youngest daughter's eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.
After Ma Biao finished cursing, he heard his wife say, "Grandma Zhang next door just died at home tonight."
The reason is because of Type I invasion.
Although the patrol guards arrived and killed him as soon as possible, for an old lady who was over a hundred years old and lived alone, she could not survive until that time.
But worried that there might be undiscovered demons lurking nearby, the patrol guards first sent the terrified group to the station, and waited for Ma Biao to finish his work for the day before going home with them.
Ma Biao remained silent after hearing this.
I even thought that his family must have seen him being scolded just now.
The second daughter sensed his loss and walked up to him, holding his arm and comforting him: "It's okay, Dad. We all know you've tried very hard."
Although Ma Biao was unkind, he was indeed too harsh on his subordinates.
But in front of his relatives who knew him well, he was also the commander who always tried his best to hold on to the end on the battlefield. The mental energy of others was greatly consumed, and wasn't he also exhausting himself every day
Ma Biao thought of Lin Xuan, who had been praised frequently recently, and a trace of reluctant envy flashed across his eyes.
Lin Xuan is the most talented person in their South City, and his spiritual pool level is as high as double S. It is just a psychological admiration for the strong, so there are more guards willing to serve in the other half of South City than here.
He smiled helplessly: "I am not strong enough. It would be better if my talent could be higher."
The six-year-old second daughter shook her head, hugged him and said, "The teacher said that this world is made up of people with different classes of talents, so it can function! Because everyone has something that suits them best!"
"Different talents also have different responsibilities!"
"As long as you do your best within your ability, you are the best. Dad doesn't need to compare with others!"
The eldest son also nodded: "Dad, you are already very good, my classmates are very envious of me!"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself and don't force others. The worst that can happen is that we just have to move! Even if Districts 6 and 7 are already full and there are no cheap empty houses for us to live in, we can just sleep under the bridge!" After saying this, he patted his chest.
Ma Biao laughed angrily, ruffled his hair, and urged them to get in the car: "Don't worry about it, I will solve it if I say so!"
"Go home and rest!"
The family returned to their simple little house.
After everyone in the family fell asleep, Ma Biao lit another cigarette, quietly opened the door and walked outside, then squatted down on the cracked stone pavement in front of the house.
Smoke slowly came out of his mouth.
At this time, the neighbors should be asleep. But in order to use electricity to intimidate and prevent the IV demon from approaching, the lights in the houses are still on.
Ma Biao stared at the empty street for a long time, and finally raised his hands to cover his eyes.
The eight-foot-tall strong man shed tears of unwillingness.
In the silence, I suppressed my sobs.
·
"Hmm? Tell me again, who wants to see me outside?"
In the familiar lounge at the 12th Area Camp, Lin Xuan was drinking the health tea that his sister had made for him, which could replenish his MT value. Xu Qingran was sitting on the sofa by the window opposite him, looking down at his work board, so focused that he didn't even glance at him.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside and told him that someone wanted to see him.
The soldier who reported the incident was also incredulous: "You heard it right, it's the leader of the other half, Ma Biao."
The health tea in Lin Xuan's cup was still steaming.
The person who came to report was amazed: "The brothers in the camp were also surprised when they saw him. They almost thought he was here to cause trouble! However, his attitude was not as arrogant as the previous time we met him. He seemed to be in a heavy mood..."
After a pause, he added, "I heard that the recent cleaning situation in the other half of South City is not very good."
"Especially in Districts 1 and 2 where residents gather, they may soon be unable to defend. Brother Lin, do you think that this is the reason why Ma Biao...?"
Lin Xuan frowned and said nothing.
He had also heard about this matter, and there were also brothers in the barracks whose hometowns were in District 1 and District 2, and they were all very worried about the situation. However, Ma Biao was very arrogant and xenophobic, and he was never willing to accept their cooperation and help, so everyone could only worry.
If Ma Biao really came to him for help this time, it would really be the sun rising in the west.
Lin Xuan put down the cup and decided to go out and find out the situation himself.
After Lin Xuan left, the system said to Xu Qingran: "Host, how can you be so powerful? Ma Biao really came to find Lin Xuan!"
In a previous chat, Xu Qingran accidentally mentioned to the system that he felt Ma Biao would soon humble himself and come to Lin Xuan for help.
This is normal.
Hearing that the rival half of the zone had recently achieved great success, Ma Biao, as the leader of the other half, would certainly feel anxious.
Xu Qingran glanced at the long-standing complaint file on the light board and answered the system: "As long as he still puts the people of South City first in his heart, he will let go of that meaningless face sooner or later."
In such a chaotic environment, face is the least valuable thing.
Ma Biao would rather come to Lin Xuan first than contact him, which shows that he has backbone.
But...
Xu Qingran curved his eyes slightly.
It doesn't matter, the result is almost the same.
Outside the house, Lin Xuan saw the burly Ma Biao.
It was similar to what the soldier who came in to report had guessed. Ma Biao came to him hoping that he could cooperate with him to help command the border defense battles in Districts 1 and 2. He also hoped to borrow some people from his staff to help ease the pressure on the troops in the upper half of the district.
Seeing that he was sincere and humble, with no trace of his previous arrogance, Lin Xuan felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
He thought about how he was full of vigor and vitality back then, and also had a strong desire to win. He was not completely right in the conflict with Ma Biao, so he did not make things difficult for the other party.
Instead, he reached out and patted Ma Biao's shoulder heavily, saying, "We are all from South City. I understand your concerns."
"Besides, many of my brothers are from your area. I think since you asked for it yourself, they shouldn't mind helping."
Everyone just finished the battle in District 10, and with Xu Qingran's guidance, the completion rate of tasks in each district was very high, and most people's consumption was not too great. If support was needed, they could still spare some effort.
"There is no problem with the personnel deployment. I can lend it to you." Lin Xuan paused, and then continued helplessly, "But as for your request for my help in command, I may not be able to do so now."
Just like Xu Qingran said at the beginning, there was something wrong with the way he used his mental power.
However, he was not able to adjust on the day of the District 10 battle. Even though Xu Qingran later gave him some mental power, he still almost hurt his mental pool because of overexertion. He only realized it the next day when he woke up and realized that his mental power was recovering slower than usual, and his head started to hurt as soon as he used it.
After the examination, the military doctor at the medical center told him that he needed to rest for at least a month to ensure that his mental pool could repair itself and avoid any sequelae.
After hearing the explanation, Ma Biao felt a little depressed.
He also hoped to continue commanding this battle, but as an S-level psychic, he was not as good as the double S-level people in detecting higher-level demons. If he wanted things to go smoothly and minimize the consumption of soldiers, he needed a higher-level command.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Although I can't help you now, I have someone here."
"He's probably also at double S-level spiritual level. He's pretty energetic right now. Maybe you can ask him for help."
In the lounge.
While Lin Xuan was out communicating with Ma Biao, Xu Qingran got himself a glass of water.
Just after I finished drinking and put the glass on the table, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside.
Ma Biao raised his head with a dull expression.
He didn't expect to see the person he least wanted to meet on the sofa!
The sunlight gently fell through the blinds behind Xu Qingran, diluting the color of his brown hair a little lighter, making him appear softer and more docile.
He raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and was not surprised to see that the person who came in was Ma Biao. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly as if he had expected it. He did not take the initiative to talk to him, but just gave him a look and continued to lower his head to focus on his own work.
The air froze for a moment.
Ma Biao thought of the "grudge" between him and Xu Qingran, as well as his brazen words at the rest stop in area 6/7. His expression instantly turned ugly, and the two fists hanging by his side were clenched tightly.
The next second, he walked towards Xu Qingran with a fierce look on his face.
His steps were heavy and loud, and even the scar on his forehead had a hint of evil.
Seeing that Xu Qingran was still looking at his blank board with his legs crossed as if he hadn't noticed anything, the system quickly reminded him, "Host, are you really not going to raise your head? I feel like Ma Biao's fist is about to hit you—"
Just as he was about to finish his words, he saw Ma Biao, who was looking for revenge, suddenly kneel down a few steps away from Xu Qingran.
There was reluctance and shame on his face, but more of it was the determination to protect his homeland. He said in a loud voice, "Please, help the people of Districts 1 and 2 to resist the attacks of the demons in Districts 3 and 5!"
"I was blind to the truth! If you can hold the defense of these two districts, I will call you Big Brother from now on, and I can even give you the position of leader of the upper half of the South City Division!"
Ma Biao thought a lot from that night to the time he was on his way to District 12.
I also figured out some things.
Perhaps he was not born to be a good leader, and he always puts his anxiety on others.
Look at how Lin Xuan and his army members can be brothers, while his teammates here only treat him as the King of Hell. Maybe he would care a lot before that day, but now he just hopes that his family can have food and shelter in this corner of the world that can still accommodate them.
"You can call me big brother, but you don't need to be the leader."
After a brief silence, he heard Xu Qingran speaking.
The person on the sofa put the blank board in his arms on the empty seat beside him, lowered his head and smiled at him: "I just want you to listen to me."
Xu Qingran said that next time if she wanted to ask him for help, she would have to beg for it.
Before he opened his mouth, Ma Biao consciously fulfilled this prerequisite, so he readily agreed to the request.
So, three days later, the alert zone in Zones 3 and 5, where the alert status was almost reaching the limit, started a new round of combat plan.
It was evening and the sun had not yet completely set.
The soldiers in the upper half of the South City only discovered that helpers from the lower half had been sent to help them!
They were sitting on a large military truck, and they greeted them with a cool smile: "Hey guys, long time no see!"
All the soldiers in the upper half subconsciously looked at Ma Biao, but Ma Biao remained calm and even saluted the reinforcements from the lower half: "Thank you brothers for your help."
The expressions of the soldiers under Ma Biao became even more terrified.
—Has their leader been possessed by another spirit? This is the first time I've heard him address me in such a friendly way in all these years!
Ma Biao ignored other people's reactions.
To be honest, he is still a little anxious.
Not to mention that Xu Qingran, the main commander, has not shown up yet. In the lower half, there are also work to be done in other areas, and they have just finished a major cleanup, so Lin Xuan can't lend him too many people.
There are two large areas that need to be dealt with, and he is a little worried that they may not be able to hold on.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt that the land they were on was shaking slightly, causing the sand between the bricks to roll.
Others also noticed the movement and exclaimed that some great devil had been born.
Until someone pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted: "Fuck, look over there!"
Looking in the direction he pointed, they saw rows of fighter jets flying towards them from the other side of the sky.
The closer they got, the louder the hum of the engines became. There were about a dozen of them, heading towards Area 3 and Area 5.
The source of the small ground vibration soon appeared in their sight.
Ma Biao was at the gate leading to Area 3. On the avenue connecting to the gate, large trucks loaded with guards and weapons and supplies were slowly driving towards their location.
Leading in front of them was an off-road vehicle.
As he got closer, Ma Biao saw Xu Qingran driving through the windshield. One hand was on the steering wheel, and the other hand in a black glove stretched out the window and waved at him.
This shocking scene not only stunned the people around, but even Ma Biao was shocked.
The moment the SUV stopped, the truck behind it also stopped. Then a group of people wearing Silver Dragon military uniforms, holding guns and knives, got off the vehicle in a well-trained manner.
What is this? Where did all these people and supplies come from
Ma Biao looked at Xu Qingran in surprise as he walked up to him.
Facing his question, Xu Qingran said calmly: "Where else could it be? Of course they were transferred from the East City Barracks."
Ma Biao was shocked again.
Incredulous, he asked, "How did you get the transfer? Did you apply to the colonel? And did he agree?!"
After a pause, he continued, "Let me make it clear first, my goal now is just to protect South City. I have no intention of surrendering to the Silver Dragon Camp!"
"If you agree to some weird conditions for the new colonel on behalf of Nancheng in advance, I would rather not use people from Dongcheng. This is our bottom line!"
"Calm down." Xu Qingran said, "I didn't make any weird promises for you. All I did was just apply for you."
Ma Biao looked doubtful: "And the colonel approved it?"
Xu Qingran: "Approved."
He approved it himself.
This story began two days ago.
After he agreed to Ma Biao's request, he returned to the Dongcheng camp, made a troop transfer application for them, and went to Adjutant Mao's office to get it stamped.
Adjutant Mao told him at the time: "... But according to the rules, these rebellious soldiers are not allowed to receive support from the East City main camp."
He then realized that even the military leaders in South City, West City and North City, such as Ma Biao the "Colonel" and Lin Xuan the "Lieutenant Colonel", were not officially recognized by Silver Dragon.
Only on the day they surrender will they be allowed to issue their qualification certificates and re-enter the headquarters system.
These are the rules set by successive colonels.
Xu Qingran didn't care: "You also said that those were the rules set by the previous colonel. Now that I'm in charge, don't I have the final say on what the rules are?"
"Even if the Silver Dragon headquarters doesn't agree, it's so far away, how can they control me?"
He smiled with his eyes curved, and said in a cold tone: "If you have the ability, transfer me away from here."
If he cannot be transferred, then of course he has the final say in this place.
Xu Qingran not only approved the troop deployment application, he even asked his adjutant to clear out all the weapons, tanks, fighter planes, etc. that could be deployed in the East City camp.
I have to say that Tianlong’s resources are really poor.
After he personally went to check, he found that there were only about ten fighter planes with better performance in the whole East City, and only about twenty tanks, as well as weapons such as mental guns and cannons... Anyway, when he came here this time, he almost emptied out most of the East City.
The adjutant was so anxious that he asked angrily: "Colonel, you have emptied the camp. What if the East City is attacked?!"
Xu Qingran: "It doesn't matter. We can just ask the headquarters to send someone to reinstall the network when the time comes."
Adjutant Mao: “… ?”
Is this the point
In short, under Xu Qingran's insistence, most of the people and weapons in Dongcheng were emptied out.
Ma Biao didn't know that Xu Qingran was the colonel himself. He was just impressed that his new recruit was really amazing and actually had a way to get the approval of the new colonel.
It seems that this new colonel is a little different from those fools before.
Thinking of this, he handed the communication device in his hand to Xu Qingran.
Xu Qingran didn't answer it, but asked him: "What is this?"
"The main communication channel used by the commander-in-chief to communicate with other teams." Ma Biao exhaled lightly. He felt that the moment he handed over the things, he seemed to have finally let go of his years of obsession. "The things you will need for command when the time comes."
Xu Qingran just glanced at him and asked him, "What are you thinking about?"
"This South City area is your responsibility. Those are your team members. You are responsible for how to command them."
Ma Biao looked up sharply when he heard this, and saw Xu Qingran said, "Just give me a deputy commander who can interrupt when necessary, oh, and the main bracelet that can share mental detection information."
"I am only responsible for helping to provide source crystal information to your army."
"As for the other arrangements, you can handle them yourself."
Ma Biao's command was actually quite good, but when faced with an emergency, he would become impatient and lose his composure, which in turn affected his mentality and judgment.
If he makes good adjustments, there will be no problem in being the leader of the South City half.
Of course, another main reason why Xu Qingran refused was laziness.
When he saw Lin Xuan as the main commander that day, he never stopped talking. He had to look ahead and behind, and his lips were chapped after the fight. Although he did not refuse to do such troublesome things for him, he would not do it if he could avoid it.
After Xu Qingran got the items that Ma Biao mentioned, he turned around and took out something that looked like a cannon from the SUV they came in. He carried the big thing, which looked heavier than he was, without any pressure and slowly left the interior of Area 3.
Only Ma Biao, who was still holding the main command communications device in his hand, was left standing there in a daze.
When it got dark, Ma Biao had already arranged the responsible positions of each unit, as well as the defensive and offensive tasks.
Unlike Area 10, the main goal of Areas 3 and 5 now is to clear the group of demons out of the warning range first.
Tonight's mission is mainly concentrated in District 3. Some people have also been sent to District 5, but the main purpose is to stabilize the status quo. Once the situation in District 3 stabilizes slightly, they will continue to move towards District 5.
The soldiers in the East City Camp had not been on such a mission for a long time, and they were skeptical about the main and deputy commanders tonight.
As for the original group of people in the upper half of South City, they felt a little uneasy and distrustful when they heard that the commander of sharing mental detection information tonight had been replaced by a 'new recruit'.
Until night falls, the devil wakes up.
Xu Qingran picked a nearby building with a good view, set up the only long-range mental shooting cannon he found in the camp, and fixed his sights on a group of creatures that were slowly expanding in the vast field of vision ahead.
The difference between a psychic cannon and a gun is that the attack power it delivers at one time is greater than that of a gun.
In contrast, each shot consumes a lot of mental power, and the compression and control of mental power are several times more difficult. If you don't have excellent concentration and control of mental power, you can't suppress this powerful weapon at all.
The evening breeze blew.
A clear, light-colored glow slowly emerged in Xu Qingran's eyes.
With him as the center, the first wave of mental power quickly detected the area within a radius of several kilometers. When he received feedback, the information was also shared with the soldiers in their combat zone today.
When the information about the surrounding Class I and Class II source crystals was obtained, everyone was deeply shocked by the information they read.
What a clear and definite perception this is!
It's like a person with severe myopia and astigmatism wearing glasses with a degree that perfectly matches him.
The blurry world suddenly becomes clear!
Even the reinforcements sent by Lin Xuan in the lower area were shocked.
They have been fighting in Tianlong for so many years, but have never shared such clear detection information!
You should know that information sharing will be interfered and delayed because it goes through a layer of procedures in the middle, and you can only receive about 80% of the information seen by the sharer. The more skilled the sharer is in source crystal detection and perception, the clearer the information they can obtain.
The information shared by Xu Qingran, even though it was interfered with, was still clear enough for them to have the illusion that they could perceive the source crystal with ease!
What a terrifying gift of perception! !
Everyone was still amazed at the detection information shared by Xu Qingran, when they saw a light blue beam of mental power flying quickly in the sky like a meteor, dragging a small tail.
Immediately, it hit a Type I mother organism on the field that had been bothering everyone for several weeks and was almost as big as a villa.
One hit.
The next second, the source crystal shattered, and countless chimeras fell to the ground with a crash.
Everyone was shocked again.
Who would have thought that the rope-thin beam of mental power attack actually came from the mental power cannon that was rumored to be more difficult to control than a gun!
This is a psychic cannon that is invincible if controlled well, but will be a waste of effort if not controlled well and will fire randomly. Even an ordinary double S-level player may not be able to suppress it immediately!
Ma Biao was also dumbfounded.
I remember that just before the battle began, he looked at Xu Qingran who was setting up the mental cannon on the rooftop of a tall building and asked him, "Do you have any experience using it?"
Without even turning his head, Xu Qingran said to him, "I practiced in Dongcheng for two days before coming here."
Ma Biao: “…”
Two days
Is this the effect that can be achieved in just two days of practice?! What kind of abnormal psychic power user must Xu Qingran be?!
On the tall building, the cool breeze gently caressed Xu Qingran's hair, and playfully made his black and silver windbreaker sway in disorder.
He retracted his gaze, adjusted the aiming direction of the mental cannon, and at the same time released a second wave of mental detection.
The corners of his lips lifted up slightly and he let out a chuckle.
-simple.
