A large number of unmanned aerial vehicles rose from near the central area of Star City and quickly approached the Starlight Lake Bridge.
Mu Qing's punch towards the center of the lake made a huge movement.
The anomaly detection department of the Star City Military Department apparently detected huge energy fluctuations, and people near Starlight Lake who heard the loud noise also chose to call the police.
The forces stationed in the central area of Star City were quickly mobilized and launched operations.
Looking at the formation of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft emerging in the distance, and the maglev military vehicle flashing blue and red below, rapidly approaching the Starlight Bridge, Feng Qi felt that it was time to leave.
At this moment, he turned to look at the leading domain creature:
"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can contact me through the Hupo Research Institute. You can leave first."
"clear."
The leading Domain man nodded immediately, then turned around and took the other two Domain creatures along the steel cable to quickly go under the Starlight Bridge.
"Aqi, I don't think they are necessarily willing to surrender sincerely." After the three domain creatures left, Mu Qing suddenly said.
"It's not important."
"Why?" Mu Qing looked curious.
"They have no choice, as long as they are under my control, I don't really care what they think."
Feng Qi also asked an old fan about similar questions in the previous timeline.
But the words of an old fan made him understand the truth.
He said that such an opportunity is a huge temptation for the lower-level forces, and they may never encounter it again in this life.
They may not completely believe me, but this is undoubtedly an opportunity.
It's like a big gamble, with the potential for huge future gains.
All living beings, strong and weak, not everyone has the ability to dominate the world and can freely choose the future path of themselves and their people.
These weak people struggling at the bottom are destined to have no choice.
When he throws out a dream that leads to a prosperous future, they are like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, giving a glimmer of hope to the dim future.
They know very well that what they may see after landing is not hope, but a more desperate scene.
But if you miss this opportunity, a similar opportunity may never appear again.
Therefore, they will inevitably choose to take a gamble.
Through the analysis of the old fan, he understood the reason.
He later saw a similar situation with the Dark God Clan.
Faced with the resources and support provided by the Psychic Tribe, how could the Dark God Tribe not know the hidden dangers involved, let alone think that this was a simple and well-intentioned help from the Psychic Tribe.
There is clearly a hidden agenda behind the resource support.
But the Dark God Clan still chose to submit to the Psionic Clan.
This is also a big gamble, betting on the future of the Dark Gods to gain a chance of survival.
Therefore, the Lord of the Mist in the previous timeline was not worried that the top leaders of the weak alliance would betray him, because it brought hope, whether true or false.
After hearing his explanation, Mu Qing looked thoughtful, then nodded.
"Let's go." Feng Qi said at this moment, and immediately jumped off the bridge after saying that.
When Mu Qing saw this, she immediately jumped down.
…
After a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing appeared in the lakeside corridor to the east of Xingguang Lake.
Next, they decided to go to the military headquarters located in the central district of Star City.
If you want to completely control Star City, the military is a powerful force that cannot be avoided.
As Star City's only law enforcement and foreign war agency, the Military Department controls most of Star City's armed forces.
In terms of influence, the Star City Military Headquarters is relatively low-key. Except for major emergencies, it basically does not have contact with the public.
But there is no doubt that Star City Military Headquarters is the most powerful organization in Star City.
If the Dawn Organization fails to handle its relationship with the Star City Military Headquarters, it will greatly affect the subsequent advancement of the battle line.
It was already ten o'clock at night, and there was an endless stream of passers-by along the corridor along the lake.
Some of the passers-by stood outside the railings along the lake, looking toward the center of the lake, wondering what the cause of the loud noise just now was.
From time to time, a formation of unmanned aerial vehicles passed overhead, and searchlights constantly scanned the lake surface.
Feng Qi and Mu Qing were walking along the corridor along the lake, with various food stalls on both sides filled with tourists.
Smoke rises from cooking pots, and smoke from fireworks blows towards our faces.
The air was filled with the smell of various foods, arousing the appetites of Feng Qi and Mu Qing.
"Are you hungry?" He turned to look at Mu Qing at this moment.
"I'm not hungry!" Mu Qing immediately said seriously.
"You haven't had dinner yet. You must be hungry. Eat something first and then go to the military headquarters. I'll treat you to a treat. The military headquarters doesn't need much time."
With that said, Feng Qi walked towards the food stall by the lake.
After taking a look at the smokey food stall, Mu Qing's stomach made a sound, and then she decisively followed Feng Qi's pace.
After a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing sat on the seats next to the food stall and began to eat happily.
With the night wind blowing on my face, I looked at the passers-by passing by.
Feng Qi found that when he calmed down, everything around him was beautiful.
He still remembers the first time he came here with his parents.
But that memory has become blurry now, and he has long passed his carefree years.
"Aqi, are you tired?" Mu Qing, who was licking her skewers, spoke up at this moment, interrupting his thoughts.
"Tired." Feng Qi admitted without hesitation.
"Have you ever thought about giving up?"
"I hesitated, but I finally got through it, and my heart became more determined."
"What is the driving force that drives you forward?" Mu Qing's eyes were full of curiosity and she stopped eating.
Faced with the inquiry, he did not answer directly, but raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Starlight Bridge:
"Do you know the construction history of the Starlight Bridge?"
"I know that this bridge was the bridge connecting Broken Light City and Starlight City at that time. There was no city wall defense line at that time. During the construction of this bridge, it was invaded by domain forces. If it were not for the martyrs who fought to protect it, this bridge would not have been completed.
, the two cities will not be able to be connected together to form the current central district of Star City."
Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's face.
"You are right. If it were not for the bloody battle of the martyrs, we would not have a stable life in Star City."
"Every era has new challenges. Our predecessors created Star City in the face of challenges and built the security line of defense for us. This is like a legacy. We also need to face the new challenges of this era. This is the only way
Only then can our human civilization continue."
"My predecessors have taken care of me, and I will take care of those who come after me!"
Looking at Feng Qi who said this with a smile, Mu Qing's eyes flickered.
She once again felt the firmness and determination from Feng Qi, and her heart felt like a warm breeze blowing on her face.
"Aqi, I will always stand firmly with you."
"Well, let's eat." Feng Qi nodded with a smile, then grabbed a handful of skewers and started eating.
Looking at the piles of signs on the table, Mu Qing hesitated and said:
"Will I make you poor?"
"No, I have money!"
"Well, then... the boss will give you another five hundred skewers!"
…
The night is hazy.
It's close to early morning.
After finishing their supper, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived in front of the Star City Military Headquarters Base.
Compared to the Tiger Soul and Scarlet Research Institutes, the Star City Military Base did not have a towering wall, but only a barbed wire barrier.
Through the barbed wire fence, you can see a large number of weapons and equipment placed on the base square.
The military headquarters base is located in the central area of Star City, along the north side of Starlight Lake. It was established earlier than the Tiger Soul and Scarlet Research Institute.
When it was first established, Star City Military Headquarters was not called this name.
At that time, each district in Star City was a city, and there was no plan to merge them into Star City.
Facing the strong invasion of domain creatures, major cities at that time struggled to cope.
Under the huge crisis, major cities at that time began to unite their efforts and established the "Southern District Joint Operations Department", the predecessor of the Star City Military Department.
In the early days of the catastrophe, faced with the invasion of domain forces, every war would cause heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Southern District Joint Operations Department.
In order to fill up the strength, the Southern District Joint Operations Department was expanded at that time.
Include law enforcement personnel as well.
The genes at the time of its establishment were destined for the Star City Military Headquarters to become the first organization in the future new city "Star City", possessing the power of law enforcement and foreign war.
There are also 7 departments under the Military Headquarters.
They are the External Operations Department, the City Law Enforcement Department, the Command Department, the Logistics Department, the Training Department, the Communications Department, and the Intelligence Department.
Each department is under the overall management of the headquarters.
In order to deal with possible crisis situations in Star City, the military headquarters has stations in each district of Star City, equipped with advanced weapons and equipment.
As for the sources of troops for the Star City Military Department, they come from various universities.
Among them, the top universities are responsible for cultivating high-level talents for the military departments in major cities.
For example, Victory University is the main source of command talents for the front lines and military headquarters in major cities.
In addition, the military headquarters also has a complete military merit promotion system to ensure that talents will not be buried.
After walking around the barbed wire fence for a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing arrived at the gate of Star City Military Headquarters.
There are eight guard booths set up on both sides of the front, each guarded by fully armed soldiers.
Arriving at the entrance of the gate, a soldier immediately reminded him:
"This is an important military area and no one is allowed to enter at will. Do you need any help?"
"Dean Hu Po has already contacted your commander-in-chief. We have something important to come here."
The soldier who heard these words did not hesitate, immediately picked up the communicator attached to his chest and began to inquire about the situation.
After a while, the soldier put down the walkie-talkie and waved to the rear.
Immediately, the lifting column blocking the gate fell, and the railing of the second level was raised.
The soldier on duty walked down from the guard box, looked at Feng Qi and said:
"I'll take you in."
"Thank you."
"Wait a moment, I'll drive." As he said that, the soldier on duty trotted towards the military vehicle parked at the rear.
After a while, Feng Qi and Mu Qing got into the car and drove to the headquarters base.
This was Feng Qi's first time coming to Star City Military Headquarters, and he was very curious about the facilities inside.
The facilities of the headquarters are very complete, and each building has a corresponding function name outside it.
In addition, there are open-air functional venues such as battlefields and open-air weapon depots specially used for training.
Half an hour later, the military vehicle stopped in front of a tall building shaped like a fist.
After getting off the car, they were led by the soldiers on duty and entered the building through verification.
Taking the elevator to the sixth floor, they arrived in front of the "General Command Room".
"The commander-in-chief is aware of your arrival, just go in."
"Thank you very much."
The soldier on duty nodded immediately, then turned and left.
Feng Qi took a step forward at this moment, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
"come in."
Pushing the door open, what appeared in front of him was a large desk filled with various types of documents. On the left side of the monitor was a small military flag of the Star City Military Department.
Behind the desk, two flags were erected diagonally, the Star City flag on the left and the Star City Military Flag on the right.
On the left side of the room is a scaled-down Star City sandbox.
There are also many military flags on it, and each flag represents a military headquarters location in Star City.
There are many other details that can be seen from the sand table.
At this time, an old man with white hair and a majestic appearance was sitting in front of the city model sand table.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief." Feng Qi immediately said respectfully.
"Don't be formal, sit down first." As he said this, the old man stood up, smiled, and came to the sofa to sit down first.
Upon seeing this, Feng Qi led Mu Qing to sit down on the sofa opposite the old man.
"I heard that Lao Li said that you have something important to discuss with me. Now I'm very curious about what it is, but Lao Li couldn't explain clearly on the phone."
The Lao Li mentioned by the old man is the current director of the Hu Po Research Institute.
Facing the old man's inquiry, Feng Qi immediately nodded and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this matter is so important that I can't explain it clearly over the phone. I think it's better to tell it to you in person. You may not believe what I say next, but what I say is all true..."
Without much preamble, he chose to get straight to the point.
Before arriving at the Star City Military Headquarters, Feng Qi considered a question.
Is it possible that the Star City Military Headquarters has also been occupied by domain forces?
He had no way of knowing the answer to this question, and this battle line did not have a lot of time to penetrate and investigate.
Being a sacrifice line is meant for trial and error.
Before arriving, he also explained the situation to the Scarlet Research Institute. Even if he died at the Star City Military Headquarters, his head could not be brought back to the Scarlet Research Institute.
The news of his death in Star City's military headquarters will also be learned by another person from the future.
But Feng Qi feels that this worry is probably unnecessary.
The purpose of the Star City Military Department is to "protect".
Just like every organization has its own rules and regulations.
The reason why the Hupo Research Institute was infiltrated is because the doctrine of the Hupo Research Institute is to explore a new path in cultivation.
This is full of uncertainty.
That's why they are controlled and exploited by domain forces.
However, the doctrine and principles of the Star City Military Department are very clear, which is to protect Star City and human civilization.
If the domain forces want to control the power of the Star City Military to do things for themselves, they will encounter many obstacles. Even the commander-in-chief cannot mobilize the power of the military to do things for themselves at will.
For example, let Star City Military Headquarters soldiers massacre people.
Even though this order was issued by the commander-in-chief, it violated the military's code of conduct and would be vetoed by other commanders on the way.
There are only two possibilities for mobilizing military forces.
First, it is determined that this matter may endanger the development of human civilization or endanger the safety of the people of Star City.
Second, it must be approved by the highest-level meeting of the military department and approved by the heads of the seven major departments.
In addition, every military action will be supervised by the Star City Supreme Council.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult for domain forces to infiltrate the Star City Military Headquarters. Unless all middle-level to high-level managers are controlled, any tasks that are detrimental to human civilization cannot be effectively executed.
After figuring out the reason, Feng Qi came boldly.
Besides, with Mu Qing by his side this time, he felt that even if a special situation occurred, Mu Qing would have the strength to take him out of here.
The only problem is that if there are problems within the military headquarters, the subsequent development of the Dawn organization will face severe challenges.
Listening to his story, the white-haired old man's expression gradually became serious.
Especially when he heard that there were a large number of domain forces lurking in Star City, his expression was sulky, and then he suddenly asked:
"There was a mysterious explosion in Starlight Lake just now. Is it related to you?"
