Huang Qianyan spoke so loudly on the stage that most of the people in the audience listened attentively. Only Chen Yin became more and more bored as he listened. He yawned, pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair, and a straw came out of it.
, he put it in his mouth.
"The council's calculations are very loud. They have done nothing in the past six months and allowed the major urban areas to fend for themselves. Now they suddenly want us to do something... They want to order us without saying a word. Isn't it crazy?
Bar?"
While sucking the unknown liquid from the straw, he thought generally, "There are definitely not a few people who think like me. The parliament should not do such stupid things. Except for Xue Hongyu, all the important figures in the parliament are at this time
The collective disappearance...could it be said that they are preparing something?"
At this moment, a voice beside him interrupted his thoughts.
A middle-aged man in a suit smiled and asked: "Excuse me, what are you drinking?"
"Juice." Chen Yin also smiled back, handed out the straw, and said enthusiastically, "Would you like a sip?"
"No, no." The man waved his hand.
"How about a cigarette?"
Chen Yin pressed another button on the armrest. The next second, part of the shell on the armrest popped open like a flip, revealing a row of beautifully crafted cigarettes inside. He took out one and handed it to the man.
The man looked at the cigarette for a moment and said in surprise: "This is a specialty cigarette bar from a third-rate town. I heard it is rare."
"It's really rare, so I brought some out just to make friends."
The man put away his cigarette and chuckled: "As expected of the second young master of Xinhai Group, he is very similar to your father in that he likes to make friends."
He obviously knew Chen Yin and was intentionally making acquaintance with him.
"You know my father?"
"We've met several times." The man smiled and then introduced himself, "My name is Han Hai, the conference representative of Ziliang City."
"Chen Yin."
Chen Yin stretched out his hand towards him, and as the two shook hands, his expression suddenly became a little more serious, and he whispered: "You made a mistake just now, but it's normal, after all, it happened recently.
"
Han Hai was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"I am no longer the second young master of the Xinhai Group..." Chen Yin said with a sad expression, "My brother unfortunately died yesterday, so now I... am the sole heir of the Xinhai Group."
He held his chin with his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were quietly raised.
…
The meeting is still going on.
"The above is about this joint action plan to clear the restricted area. Do you have any questions about it?"
Huang Qianyan looked at the people in the audience and said, "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward. As I said, this is a major event about the future of mankind. This meeting is more of an exchange of information and mutual benefit.
I hope you won’t hide anything deliberately.”
Yawen Library
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at He Shang and Yan calmly.
There was a noise in the audience, as if they were discussing the feasibility of this plan. At this moment, a person suddenly stood up and said: "There is nothing wrong with the plan itself. If everything is as expected in the parliamentary plan, then in this joint operation,
We shouldn’t have much loss..."
After a pause, he continued, "But there is one thing I'm curious about - most of the forces here have their own tasks, so what is the parliament responsible for? I just didn't seem to hear the responsible part of the parliament in the plan.
"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone in the audience had very exciting expressions.
In fact, the prestige of the Parliament has been declining in recent years. Leaving aside other forces, many urban areas have long been dissatisfied with the Parliament. Especially in the past six months since the restricted area was expanded, the dissatisfaction of the major urban areas has reached its peak. If it were not for
Knowing that this meeting is of great importance, many urban areas may not send anyone here at all.
——In the eyes of many people, the biggest problem in parliament today is the lack of morality.
Yes, as the most powerful force in the entire safe zone today, it is also the official organization that has taken over the control of each city district since the arrival of the restricted area and is responsible for managing the entire safe zone. The actions of the parliament in recent years have increasingly made it difficult for them to do so.
People are disappointed.
If the parliament is compared to the imperial court and the major urban areas are compared to the local governments, then it can be said that the imperial court has completely failed to fulfill its responsibilities in recent years and has completely left the affairs to the various local governments without interfering with them, without providing reinforcements, and without
The directive...whether it exists or not will have no impact on the future of the urban area.
Although the realization of regional autonomy is what major urban areas have always pursued, this does not mean that they do not need the help of the parliament. Especially in the six months of the expansion of the restricted area, due to the inaction of the parliament, many urban areas have fallen, and the rest of the urban areas have also fallen.
They are relying on their own strength to hold on, and it is still full of dangers.
Today's parliament is very well preserved, and there doesn't seem to be any danger around it. This shows that they are fully capable of doing more. If they had taken action in time, the situation might not have become what it is now, and many urban areas can still continue.
If it continues to exist, there will never be only a mere thirty or so forces present.
As the leader of each urban district, this is the responsibility of the council.
In everyone's memory, the past parliament was not like this. The reason why major urban areas were established, and were able to gain a foothold in the safe zone, and even gradually gained the ability to explore restricted areas, was basically inseparable from the help of the parliament.
And it was precisely in this way that the power of the Parliament was able to take root in the hearts of the people, and its status and prestige became unshakable.
However, now, the prestige of the Parliament is even far less than that of Huangquan.
It is said that the ten Yamas of Huangquan are unreliable, but they have been doing practical things recently and are very active in the buffer zone. On the other hand, the current parliament, although it was still announcing plans for the benefit of all mankind just now,
However, they didn't even intend to contribute to the plan, which naturally aroused everyone's disgust and disappointment.
However, disgust comes from disgust, and I am afraid that it is not an ordinary person who dares to speak out such a thing directly. Everyone turned to look and found that the person who just spoke was actually Han Hai, the representative of Ziliang City, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.
Many people know this guy. They know that this guy has always been smart, smooth and doesn't like to offend others. Why would he suddenly show up to expose the shortcomings of the parliament?
Fortunately, they had actually wanted to ask the question just now. Since someone is willing to come forward, they can just see what the parliament will answer.
Facing pairs of scrutinizing eyes, Huang Qianyan's expression changed slightly on the stage, and she replied with a smile: "It's not that I won't participate in this plan. Of course, the parliament has more important things to do."
"Is there anything more important right now than the future of humanity?"
Han Hai said reluctantly, "Even if it is a secret, I still hope that the parliament can give an explanation - you just said it, don't deliberately hide it from everyone."
Next to him, Chen Yin was holding a straw in his mouth, like a passerby who had nothing to do with him. He looked at Huang Qianyan on the stage with a playful expression, while the expressions of the other people in the audience were a little strange.
"This guy is so brave to say it." He Shang said in surprise.
Yan Jingping said: "Isn't what he said exactly what you feel?"
He Shang was noncommittal and shrugged, "That's what you feel too, right?"
"That's not true."
Yan shook her head and said, "The guy on the stage didn't lie. I'm afraid that the council does have more important things to do now. Moreover, although the other party's plan just now is a bit hasty, it is still feasible on the whole - as long as everyone is willing to work together."
If you cooperate."
Yaya looked at the two of them blankly.
At this moment, Lu Zhan, who had been silent, said: "I agree with Second Yama's view. The leader of the council is still Mr. Huang. As long as Mr. Huang is still there, the original intention of the council will not change. He is not
The kind of person who lets others charge while standing back."
Yan took off her hood, her long black hair shawled over her shoulders, and two star-shaped earrings hanging from her fair earlobes, adding a bit of charm to her. Although her face was invisible, she still attracted the attention of many people in an instant.
"That's right."
She has dealt with Mr. Huang. That guy can be called a living fossil of the restricted area era. He has been living since the beginning of the restricted area. He has been fighting at the forefront when opening up the restricted area. He is testing the rules with his life. He has been affected both physically and mentally.
suffered considerable damage.
Mr. Huang has made outstanding contributions to mankind. It is said that even the emergence of the Huangquan Organization had a lot to do with him. If stone statues are to be erected for the great men in the safe zone in the future, then there will undoubtedly be a place for him.
No one was dissatisfied.
People like this obviously have nothing to do with the word "retreat", and there must be a reason for their dormancy in recent years.
At the same time, Huang Qianyan on the stage was still explaining hurriedly: "Please believe in the parliament, we will also take action in the next operation to clear the restricted area..."
"That's not the answer we want to hear."
Han Hai interrupted him and said with a serious face, "Although I don't want to admit it, the current parliament is really not qualified to make us believe it... If we really want to organize everyone, we should let us see the actual things.
.”
Huang Qianyan's face darkened: "Real things?"
"Yeah, actual stuff."
Han Hai suggested, "The Parliament has collected a large number of taboo sequences, many of which must be able to effectively enhance our strength and greatly reduce the risks in our process of clearing restricted areas."
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that this guy was planning on the forbidden sequence. However, they quickly became jealous. I have to say that this proposal was very good. The forbidden sequence is a double-edged sword. As long as it is used properly, it can definitely help them.
You can do a lot of things without having to pay them back...
"It is indeed more effective to pay troops before going into battle than to shout slogans in vain." Chen Yin agreed unhurriedly.
Han Hai hesitated: "The taboo sequence is very risky, and I have no right to make the decision..."
"Then find someone who can make the decision."
Han Hai is aggressive.
Huang Qianyan pushed up his glasses, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Xue Hongyu, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and said: "The person who can make the decision is not here for the time being. If you are dissatisfied with the council's decision, you can leave now. No one will keep you. As for the taboos."
Let’s stop thinking about the sequence—Qian Yan, let’s move on to the next topic.”
Although Xue Hongyu is not known for her strength, she is still quite prestigious. After all, most of the world's current understanding of the restricted area comes from her. As she spoke, the audience suddenly became quiet.
Huang Qianyan was stunned, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes
He knew that he had messed up. His superior tone from the beginning aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. He steeled himself and said, "Okay, the next topic is related to ruins..."
remains?
As soon as these words came out, a few people who were angry and ready to get up and leave quietly sat down again - there was relatively little information in this area, and they planned to leave after hearing this.
This scene was caught by Xue Hongyu's eyes.
Huang Qianyan got straight to the point: "Everyone must have discovered that in addition to the restricted area, there is also a kind of existence in the buffer zone that is different from the restricted area creatures - now there are many occupied urban areas, most of which are theirs.
Handwriting."
"These existences are not as murderous as the creatures in the restricted area, nor are they full of malice towards humans. They are more purposeful in doing things. For this reason, some have already achieved peaceful coexistence with humans - such as the current Lord of Wuji City."
"According to the parliament's understanding, the Lord of Wuji City first appeared in a cemetery. At that time, he was just a mutilated corpse. As he approached Wuji City, he killed a large number of forbidden creatures, but he did not deliberately kill humans."
After a pause, Huang Qianyan continued, "After occupying Wuji City, although the rules of Wuji City have become very weird, the lord of Wuji City has indeed protected the safety of the people in the city."
He Shang suddenly thought of the eyeball outside Wuji City not long ago, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"There are many similar existences. Some of them walked out of the mines, some woke up from the tombs, and some emerged from the stones... In a place like this that is outside the restricted area but can breed special existences, we will
It's called a relic; and we name this special and powerful existence the Awakened."
Awakener...
There was an uproar in the audience, and most people felt that this name had a special meaning.
As expected, Huang Qianyan continued: "According to the understanding of the parliament, the awakened people are most likely survivors from different eras in the past. We cannot trace that period for the time being, but according to speculation, they should have encountered an extremely terrible doomsday.
Survived to this day through various methods.”
"And now, they are waking up at this recent time in unison."
"Past times..."
Chen Yin murmured in his heart, and his expression suddenly became serious.
The meaning of these four words can be said to be very heavy. If there have been many eras in the past, and now there is no trace of the past, it undoubtedly means that something extremely terrible happened in the past, so that the entire civilization was completely cut off.
Completely disappeared into history...
This was the first time for many people to hear about the information about the ruins and the awakened people. They all thought of various bad situations and suddenly became worried.
At this moment, Huang Qianyan's next words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"The positions of awakened people and humans do not seem to conflict, so it is possible to unite. We once had a brief conversation with an awakened person and learned a very important piece of information——"
Everyone held their breath.
"According to what the awakened person said, his era was not destroyed by natural disasters, but by man-made disasters. The opponent was an existence that was so powerful that it should not exist in the world. It itself meant despair. He called it...
"
Huang Qianyan took a deep breath and slowly spit out two words.
