In the conference room with only two people left, An Jingtian looked at Lin An nervously. With the burden in his heart, he subconsciously only dared to stand.
Brother Lin suddenly asked him to stay, why?
Ever since Lin An entered the third level, he had almost no time to see Lin An.
As the gap between strength and status became wider and wider, it was difficult for him to describe his feelings towards Brother Lin.
"What are you doing standing around? Sit down."
With a smile on your face.
Changing from his usual calm mood, Lin An had a rare smile on his face, as if before the end of the world, and gently greeted An Jingtian to sit down.
"Brother Lin, do you have something to tell me?"
After hesitating and sitting down, An Jingtian was still a little embarrassed, even though Lin An looked extremely easy-going at this time, just like Brother Lin in his memory.
but
When Lin An was about to enter the fourth level, he always felt that Lin An in front of him was constantly exuding a huge sense of oppression that far exceeded his life level.
Just like human beings facing mountains and seas, facing ferocious beasts
"Before I returned, there was an invasion in the outer city, right?"
"Someone sneaked into the material warehouse, burned the materials, and wanted to take the survivors hostage."
The words just fell.
An Jingtian was suddenly startled, and his face instantly turned pale.
Brother Lin, you still know!?
Sure enough, he shouldn't have listened to the squad leader! For him to suppress this matter, in a sense, what's the difference between it and deception!?
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry. Me!!"
Lin An was obviously still smiling, but with a strong sense of guilt, An Jingtian subconsciously wanted to explain.
In his opinion, Lin An must be deeply dissatisfied if he left him behind.
Taking hostages
No, this is already a nice statement. In fact, the other party almost threatened An Xia.
If An Xia was just an ordinary person, something might have happened.
Looking at An Jingtian, whose face suddenly turned pale, Lin An raised his hand to press it down without changing his expression:
"It's nothing, I don't mean to blame you."
"It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong in Long'an. Nothing happened before. That's just luck. The problem is not yours alone, but the whole of Long'an."
Speaking calmly, Lin An recalled the scene at the conference.
In fact, as Long'an has developed to this day, many problems have begun to arise internally. It didn't break out because it has been developing rapidly.
Things like this will only happen more often in the future.
Corruption of power, collusion between internal and external parties, factions, bullying of superiors and flattery of subordinates are inevitable.
This is how human nature is.
In fact, Long'an has not become like other safe zones until today, largely because the resources are still sufficient, and when he built the city, he planted a "shadow" in the hearts of the first batch of members.
.
But if you want to continue to maintain it, you will definitely need rounds of cleaning.
He didn't have much time to do this before, but now it's different
In other words, we must clear out a group of people as much as possible before expansion.
"Jingtian, starting from tomorrow, you will resign from the Armed Forces Ministry. Huang Haitao will take over your position by then."
His whole body was shaken, and An Jingtian opened his mouth. After a moment, his heart felt bitter.
Brother Lin, are you disappointed in yourself?
Yes, he is actually not suitable for this position. There are too many people in the base who are more suitable than him.
However, before he could bow his head and agree, the next second, Lin An said calmly:
"I plan to form a special force to supervise various departments in Long'an. Compared with the previous supervision department, the newly established department will not be open to the public and will enjoy special rights."
"Anyone who violates the regulations is allowed to be executed on the spot without review."
"When the trial is over, I will arrange for about eighty third-level people to be handed over to you."
While talking, Lin An handed over a card and pushed it in front of An Jingtian.
He's already thought about it.
There are actually only two people in Long An who are worthy of his trust the most. One is An Jingtian, the two of them grew up together. The other is Zhang Tie, that fool is not afraid of death.
For Long Anhe to "handle" high-level affairs externally in the future, it is obvious that only An Jingtian is suitable.
He looked up suddenly.
An Jingtian stared blankly at the card handed out by Lin An, and instantly understood what he meant.
This is!?
Knowing the function of the card, looking at the silver card in front of me, an indescribable shock and panic surged out of my heart instantly.
Brother Lin is letting himself retreat behind the scenes!?
A few minutes later.
Standing alone in the empty conference room, An Jingtian clenched the card in his hand tightly and looked at Lin An's leaving back in a daze.
In silence, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of determination.
Maybe he can't help Lin An on the surface.
But in the dark, he can be that knife.
"Chu An, why didn't you attend the meeting?"
In Long'an's underground core, a faint blue light filled the entire underground hall.
Lin An frowned, looking at the dim environment around him, and looked up at Chu An, who seemed to be doing another experiment.
For some reason, he always felt that Chu An liked to stay underground, just like the villain in the movie, unable to see the light of day.
"As long as you convene the meeting, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."
Taking off the rubber gloves in his hands, Chu An walked out of the laboratory with a stiff smile.
It's like sensing something.
He looked silently up and down at Lin An, and after a few seconds, the smile on his face became even bigger.
"very good."
"The progress is faster than I thought."
"In about three days, you will be able to reach level four."
Listening to Chu An's quick judgment, Lin An glanced at him in surprise.
Although Colonel Chu could see where his strength had reached, he was not surprised. What was strange to him was that even though he was about to enter the fourth level, he still couldn't see the specific strength of Chu An in front of him.
Yes.
From the first meeting, Chu An seemed to be a first-order person forever.
The psychic power in his body is weak, just like ordinary people, but even if he beat Lin An to death, he wouldn't believe it. Chu An is only at the first level.
Not paying attention to the strange look in Lin An's eyes, Chu An put away the smile on his face and spoke softly:
"The Capital Military District has suspended all external communications four hours ago."
"To be precise, it's three hours and forty-nine minutes."
"Electromagnetism, systems, props, and even permissions are unable to convey any message."
"If nothing else, it should have been done by a different species."
After the words fell, Lin An's expression suddenly darkened.
In fact, he also learned the news just now.
That's right.
The current capital war zone seems to be plunged into darkness, and no information has been transmitted.
Obviously, it cannot be actively cut off.
Then the only possibility is that special means were used to forcibly cut off all connections. The meaning is self-evident.
"They took action."
"Those alien species revealed their identity during the competition."
The meaning was brief, Lin An's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"When do you think they will attack us?"
"Or rather, me"
"Is it possible for the Capital Military District to hold on?"
Facing Lin An's question, Chu An slowly spoke in silence for a rare moment.
"The time to take action depends on how long it takes for them to eat the capital."
"As long as a month, they will wait until the carrier reaches the third level, that is, after the trial."
"If it's quick, maybe three days later."
"The fastest speed for heterogeneous humans to fuse is three days."
Listening to the approximate time given by Chu An, Lin An's head sank.
Three days at the earliest?
Fortunately, he reached the fourth level at about the same time.
As long as the aliens don't send out too many level four aliens, he may not be incapable of fighting.
In fact, if it had been delayed longer, the situation might have been worse.
It's just that he hasn't waited for him to say anything else.
Chu An, who was standing in front of him, suddenly took off his glasses and spoke again.
"Lin An, actually there is something I haven't told you."
