Chapter 919 Flames in the Rain (please vote for the big chapter)

The silent night was so silent. Those suspended mechas did not put down their cannons, but they did not fire either.

And He Ao, who was standing at the cabin door, stopped talking and just stood calmly in the night wind.

I don't know how long it took, but a dragoon fighter slowly approached and hovered next to the floating fighter.

The hatch at the top of the Dragoon fighter plane opened, and an old man wearing a military uniform, with a tall figure and a resolute face walked out of the hatch. He looked at He Ao who was standing at the door of the floating fighter plane, and said with a smile, "Why is Mayor Lin En doing this today?"

Are you coming to Nancheng?"

His eyes swept over He Ao's neat suit, and his eyes paused slightly.

"Because people keep mentioning Nancheng to me recently, so I just happened to come over and take a look."

Holding the cane in his hand, He Ao also smiled and replied, "I just want to hear you talk about the current situation in Nancheng, General Covey."

Hearing He Ao's words, the old man's expression condensed slightly. He glanced at He Ao, then nodded with a smile, "I'm very happy."

Then he raised his head and glanced at the sky that was vaguely flashing with electric light, and said slowly, "The environment here doesn't seem to be very good. How about we go to my command center?"

"sure."

He Ao nodded calmly.

Covey returned to the Dragoon fighter, and Ho turned his head and looked at Fine, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Mr. Mayor,"

Watching the Dragoon fighter planes sail into the depths of those shimmering mechas, Fan's voice paused and looked back at He Ao, "Do we really want to follow in? That's General Covey's lair. Let's go

If it’s gone, there’s really no life left at all.”

"But that is also the strongest shield guarding Yilan City, so go ahead."

He Ao held the brass cane in his hand and did not close the hatch. Instead, he sat directly on the chair near the hatch.

Fine glanced at the huge mechas around him, was silent for a moment, and then activated the floating fighter.

As the slightly cool night slowly retreated, the mechas in front also separated to both sides, making way for the dragoon fighter planes in front and the floating fighter plane where He Ao was.

He Ao turned his head and looked through the open car door at the huge mechas standing in the darkness, looking at the cockpits on the chests of those mechas.

Vaguely, a pair of invisible eyes seemed to pass through the heavy cockpit door, staring at him sitting at the door of the cabin.

The towering mechas and densely packed dragoon fighters, with the eyes of the soldiers behind them, made way for a long road in the darkness.

The night has become a blanket for this long road, and the war machines are the resolute guards waiting on both sides of the blanket.

The speed of the floating fighter plane is not slow, and the distance left to He Ao is not long.

Under the gaze of these 'eyes', He Ao, led by the dragoon fighter planes in front, arrived in front of a tower-shaped building on the inside of the high wall.

This is the ground command center of the Nancheng City Defense Army, which is the core of the Nancheng Army in peacetime.

There is also a high-wall command center on the high wall, but it will only be activated when it is attacked by foreign enemies.

As the two flying machines approached, the side walls of the towering tower-shaped building opened to both sides, revealing a long and narrow opening. Behind the opening was a deep flat land, which seemed to be an urban parking lot.

Fine controlled the floating fighter plane, followed the Dragoon fighter plane in front of him into the opening, and then slowly landed on the city parking lot.

The folding ladder at the edge of the floating fighter unfolded naturally. He Ao stood up from his seat and slowly walked down the folding ladder down from the floating fighter.

Fan glanced around, hesitated, and finally slowly stood up from the driver's seat and followed He Ao out of the fighter plane.

At this moment, the old man in military uniform had stepped down from the Dragoon fighter plane and was standing between the floating fighter plane and the Dragoon fighter plane, waiting for He Ao.

"This seems to be my first time here."

He Ao looked around at the city parking lot. The entire airport was round in shape, and the walls seemed to be made of pure metal, reflecting a silver-gray luster. The overall appearance was very simple, without any unnecessary design.

"It's rare that a mayor comes to the city wall,"

The old man in military uniform stood beside He Ao, "They are always more interested in going to bustling venues to give speeches to their supporters, or playing golf at gorgeous indoor golf courses."

He raised his hand slightly, motioning He Ao forward, "In the twenty years I have been working here, you are the first to come here."

"People always like the bustling city,"

He Ao slightly raised his brass cane and walked forward with Covey, "But the prosperous city is built behind us, isn't it?"

Covey looked up at He Ao, smiled and said, "Of course."

The two stopped in front of the elevator door.

At this time, Faen had already followed, and several powerful and extraordinary-looking soldiers were with him, following behind the two old men in front.

He glanced at Ho Ao and Covey who were chatting and laughing, and then at the murderous soldiers beside him. His eyes were a little confused for a moment.

Ding--

The elevator door opened naturally, and the empty elevator appeared in everyone's sight.

The two walked into the elevator naturally, followed by Faen and the soldiers.

Then the elevator door closes and the elevator moves upward.

"Mayor Lynn seems to be injured? Do you need a doctor?"

Standing in the ascending elevator, Covey raised his head and looked at He Ao's cheek.

Although there were not many scars on He Ao's face, they were relative to his body. Even if he washed away the blood stains, the small wounds on his face were still clearly visible.

And even after he was washed, there was still a faint smell of blood lingering on his body, both his own and that of others.

"I ran into a little trouble when I came here,"

Holding his cane, He Ao replied naturally, as if talking about a trivial matter, "It's all been resolved."

Then his eyes fell on Covey's military uniform, "Is General Covey getting ready to go out?"

At this moment, Covey was not wearing formal clothes, but simple wartime military uniforms.

"There's a drill,"

Covey withdrew his gaze and slowly explained, "Even in peacetime, we have to be prepared to deal with all problems, so necessary military training is essential."

He paused slightly, "You saw it when you came here just now. We have many soldiers who are ready. They are all brave soldiers."

He Ao nodded slightly, "I have never doubted our heroic Yilan soldiers."

Ding--

The elevator door opened and the two people walked out of the elevator.

The first thing that caught He Ao's eyes was a wide hall. A huge electronic screen stood at the front of the hall. Small tables with computer screens were arranged like desks in a classroom. Starting from the electronic screen, they were arranged backwards.

.

Figures in military uniforms were constantly controlling computers at small tables.

But there were not many people, only about one-fifth of the tables were filled.

"This is our staff."

Covey said, "They are doing exercise planning."

He Ao's eyes stayed on the electronic screen at the front of the hall, which was currently displaying a huge map of Yilan City.

Routes leading to somewhere northeast of Yilan City are being quickly drawn on the map.

He Ao looked at the end point planned on the screen, turned around and said with a smile, "You guys are going to the Mayor's Mansion for this 'exercise'?"

"We don't know if the mayor will encounter an accident. Sometimes appropriate drills can increase the stability of Yilan City."

Covey also answered calmly, then he seemed to remember something and asked with a smile, "Mayor Lin En wants to come to Nancheng to visit. Is there any place you want to visit?"

"Is there a place high enough to see far away?"

He Ao also responded with a smile.

"It really does."

Covey raised his hand and pointed to a side road, "There is a garden over there."

He Ao walked that road with him.

Faen, who was standing at the back, stared at all this with his mouth open. He glanced at the two old men who were both smiling as if they were old friends for many years, and then looked at the marching route planned on the big screen in front.

It's almost like "I'm going to carry out a coup" written on their faces. How can these two people still chat like this normally?

Seeing this scene, the soldiers beside Fawn were also a little confused, and their eyes quickly looked between the two old men who were talking and laughing.

"Are there many outsiders running here recently?"

Ho and Covey walked towards the corridor together and asked slowly.

"Of course, there are many,"

Covey nodded lightly, and he led He Ao forward along the corridor. The two of them had gradually distanced themselves from the people behind them, "Some people who contacted me through the lobbying group, you know, these people are like rats.

It's the same, it can never be cleaned up.

"They told me that I had to do something for the stability of the city, and they would help me solve the troubles coming from the federal center."
