Chapter 98: Night Party(1/3)
The dark world is undercurrent.
Middle-earth is also not peaceful.
Throughout late June, in a hidden place unknown to the world, countless things that seemed accidental but were inevitable in combination were operating in an intense and orderly manner.
Central Continent, Eastern Island, Northern Europe, North America...
In a tense atmosphere where a storm is about to come, the entire dark world seems to have formed an overall situation and a general trend.
Unfathomable, impossible to grasp.
For those in Central-Continent, most of the entire second half of June is spent in meetings.
Decision-making bureau meetings, military meetings, Kunlun City special operations meetings, internal meetings of major combat organizations, and joint meetings of multiple organizations...
busy!
Under the surface calm, everyone is busy.
chaos!
Obviously nothing happened, but everyone felt an extremely uncomfortable sense of chaos.
But there is order in the chaos.
After almost every meeting, Zhongzhou's entire plan will move forward. Under the hustle and bustle, every step forward is extremely clear and stable. Although the situation is chaotic, everyone in Zhongzhou is confident.
Complete.
The entire Central Continent's special operations forces seem to have fallen into an extremely crazy state. For the wonderful future prospects, Central Continent has used all its resources and suppressed all possibilities of failure to a minimum.
Then there's the investment.
Keep investing.
In this nationwide effort to seek the East Island, when it comes to craziness, Admiral Ning Zhiyuan, commander of the Eastern Theater Command of Central Continent, is undoubtedly the craziest one.
His actions even surprised and even stunned everyone in the country who knew about it.
As the staunchest supporter of this conspiracy to overthrow the country, among the first batch of nearly two thousand special warfare elites from Zhongzhou who infiltrated the East Island, nearly five hundred of the most powerful elites came from the eastern theater.
Among the five theaters, Kunlun City, major special warfare agencies, and two major special warfare academies, the Eastern Theater Command directly dedicated a quarter of its manpower.
Just when everyone thought this was crazy enough, the list of the second batch of elites who had sneaked into the East Island was also sent to everyone in the game.
Everyone's first impression when they saw this list was that Ning Zhiyuan was crazy.
There are 600 Burning Fire Realm masters, 118 of them from the Eastern War Zone!
The total number of Burning Fire Realm experts in the entire eastern theater seems to be less than 130.
What do you want to do?
Including the first batch of 500 elites sent away, at this moment, the combat effectiveness of the elites in the eastern theater can be said to be at a low state that has never been seen in decades.
Among the five theaters in Central Continent, the Eastern Theater has always been recognized as a large theater with comprehensive strength second only to the Central Theater. However, with Ning Zhiyuan's two decisions, the status of the Eastern Theater plummeted, and it almost immediately reached the end of the five theaters.
And this kind of strength is destined to be irreparable in a short period of time.
After all, this is not as simple as sending people to the East Island. When sending people out, the files of the elite soldiers belonging to the Eastern Theater Command will also be destroyed in the Eastern Theater Command database.
From this perspective, every elite in the eastern theater who enters the East Island can actually be regarded as a member of the Snow Dance Legion.
Even if the Southeast Group wants to use this power to control part of the Xuewu Legion's voice, there is no need for them to rush in when such a war is about to break out. After all, the Xuewu Legion still relies on the will of Kunlun City.
, when the war started, Kunlun City could inflict heavy losses on hundreds of elites belonging to the eastern theater with just a little thought. The Southeast Group would not understand this truth, but why did it act this time?
If you say that all this is just about Ning Zhiyuan being selfless and dedicated to serving the country, then even a fool will not believe it.
But after everyone in the game has observed the major groups in Central Continent, it is difficult to detect any undercurrents.
Although people intuitively feel that this is a game between the Southeast Group, the Special Operations Group, and even more groups, at least on the surface, it is that the major groups are united and working hard for the Central Continent conspiracy.
At the very least, President Li Huacheng has praised Ning Zhiyuan on more than one occasion for his dedication to the country and his lack of mountaineering spirit.
But Ning Zhiyuan’s boss behind the scenes, Wang Tianzong, the head of the Beihai Wang clan, has remained silent.
Wang Tianzong became more and more silent.
Gradually, the attention of some interested people shifted to Ning Zhiyuan.
The dark world is experiencing ups and downs, but Central Continent is completely normal.
But this seeming normality is the biggest abnormality.
When the general trend in the distance attracts everyone's attention, there will often be some quiet overturns happening around us, which are not obvious, but may be extremely important.
More and more people are starting to study Ning Zhiyuan.
Low-key, silent, tolerant, kind, tough externally, weak internally, good at compromise and giving up, good at handling complex situations...
This is the Ning Zhiyuan in everyone's impression.
He has been like this for many years.
And now...
It seems to be the same.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts the last trace of light and shadow on the horizon.
The bright moon rises, but the setting sun has not yet faded.
Darkness and dusk spread as they advanced and retreated.
In the ancient capital Jinling, in the courtyard of the Eastern War Zone, Ning Zhiyuan, dressed in a straight military uniform, walked quietly to his small building No. 3.
Occasionally, patrolling guards passing by would salute him along the way. Ning Zhiyuan always responded meticulously, with no trace of perfunctoriness in his movements.
This general, who can be said to be the top figure in the Central Continent military, has an ordinary figure and an ordinary appearance. In the trance of the approaching night, the military uniform he wears with his military rank does not seem to enhance his aura, but makes him look...
Going up there is more low-key.
Most of the time, Ning Zhiyuan's expression is calm, not serious, not deep, and can't be said to be kind or ordinary. Instead, it gives people the feeling that he is thinking seriously about something. The outside world's evaluation of him or
Weak or low-key or disdainful, there has never been the slightest doubt about his control over the eastern theater.
In the many compromises over the years, the powerful figures from other groups in the Eastern Theater Area have been changed again and again, but no one has really made Ning Zhiyuan suffer. Even a powerful general of the Prince Group like Tan Qinghua has been fighting against Ning Zhiyuan.
He didn't take any advantage in the battle, even though his son died, he was forced to leave the eastern theater alone that he had been operating for several years. All the results were achieved through Ning Zhiyuan's seemingly step-by-step compromise.
Such a method can be called wisdom.
This military general who is deeply trusted by Wang Tianzong is definitely a powerful figure worthy of careful study by anyone, but invisibly, he has become a figure that everyone will subconsciously ignore.
The night is spreading, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Ning Zhiyuan passed by the patrolling guards and continued walking towards his residence.
The guard stood there and looked at Ning Zhiyuan for a long time, then shook his head and continued patrolling.
The transfer of a large number of elite experts from the Eastern Theater Command is no secret. Although ordinary soldiers do not know where these people have been transferred, their departure from the Eastern Theater Command cannot be hidden from everyone.
In the last few days of June, not only the upper echelons of Central Continent were studying Ning Zhiyuan, even the guards in the eastern theater were also very curious about Ning Zhiyuan's series of actions.
Ning Zhiyuan reached out and opened the door of Building 3 and walked into the lobby.
His wife is not here usually, and his son has already fallen out with him, and he seems to have stayed away from each other for a long time. He usually lives alone in this two-story wooden building, which is so clean that it is almost cold. Ning Zhiyuan has long been used to this.
In this state, when you walk through the entrance, you will turn on the light.
"The light is too bright, it's glaring."
A voice suddenly sounded from the living room. It was light, soft and gentle. The other party's control of the voice was simply superb. The voice floated into Ning Zhiyuan's ears and stopped spreading backwards.
Ning Zhiyuan's palm that pressed the light switch paused slightly.
The last ray of the setting sun outside the window completely dissipated.
The hall was dimly lit and silent.
Ning Zhiyuan walked into the living room with a calm expression. Through the light and shadow, he could vaguely see the outline of a human figure sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He just sat quietly, not drinking water or touching the fruit plate in front of him, just sitting.
"This is not where you should be."
Ning Zhiyuan walked over and sat down opposite him, frowning.
In the darkness, the shadow that had been doing this for who knows how long laughed silently, with unknown meaning.
Ning Zhiyuan also seemed to feel that his words were a bit inappropriate. He blew down his eyelids and said calmly: "At least now, this is not the place you should come to. If something happens, we can contact you through emergency channels, or we can meet at other places.
It’s safer than here.”
"I know you've been busy recently. And I don't know how many people's eyes are staring at you now. I'm afraid that every time you go to the toilet, you will be recorded in the book, right? How about it? It's a lot of pressure? Can you still resist it?"
The shadow chuckled, and in the darkness, his voice became softer and softer, with a warm and friendly feeling.
"good."
Ning Zhiyuan sighed, shook his head and said: "There is always pressure. But you have to do what you have to do."
He reached out and rubbed his temples, then took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the black figure in front of him: "I have a headache. I hope I can have a good sleep at night. If nothing happens, just leave as soon as possible. Whenever you are here,
