After a brief conversation, Wang Jun stepped back tens of meters and gave up his position.
Ye Zhen led the members of Chiqi's command and passed through the light gate one after another.
Seeing this scene, more than 400 captured Federal Army soldiers gave up the idea of escape.
In a certain nook, a simple white tent was set up.
There was a stretcher on the ground, and the adjutant who was knocked unconscious by Situ Jie was lying on it, and Yuyou woke up.
Feeling the gauze wrapped around his cheek, he looked around in disbelief, and his eyes finally locked onto an intellectual woman wearing a doctor's white coat.
The woman turned around, her eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost, and she said with a hint of coldness: "I have simply treated your facial wound, but now I have to ask you something."
"Who are you?!" The adjutant recognized the woman and exclaimed: "The blade of life and death in Black Front Alley - Leng Qingning."
"It's me, don't be too nervous." Leng Qingning nodded slightly, not surprised that the other party called out her name.
Is it possible not to be nervous? The blade of life and death governs life and death. The scalpel on the fingertips can save your life, or it can kill you... The adjutant nodded repeatedly, covered the leaky half of his face, and said in clear words as much as possible: "You ask
.”
…………
Lost City, Western Capital.
This magnificent city covers an area of nearly 8,000 square kilometers.
The divisions of the city are arranged in a grid-like ray pattern.
The central area is about 800 square kilometers. Looking down from the air, it is a perfect circle.
The periphery is divided into eight areas, each occupying the four positive positions of east, south, west and north, and the four offset positions of southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest.
The Western Capital Governor's Mansion is located in the central city, just like the core compass that governs the eight surrounding areas.
There are eight towers standing on the compass, corresponding to the eight directions.
At this moment, on the tall tower facing due south, a noncommissioned officer wearing a black and red uniform closed his left eye and opened his right eye, leaning against the mirror hole of the high-tech telescope.
It is said to be a telescope, but it is actually not a hand-held telescope as humans conventionally understand it, but a heavy-duty device that requires eight soldiers to use individual exoskeleton devices to withstand it.
Standing around the sergeant were more than a dozen elite soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Their expressions are solemn and full of discipline. If someone observes from the side and takes a closer look, they will find a "Zhao" character with flying dragons and phoenixes tattooed on the corner of their collars.
These people are not the federal army, but the elite combat unit directly under the Zhao family - Izumo Ryūji.
Since the entire Western Capital has not yet fully awakened, the functions of most buildings are not fully open.
The southern observation tower in the central city is supposed to have the function of monitoring the entire south direction, but it cannot be used by others.
Izumo Ryūji sent a team and set up
The forbidden object a098 is this high-tech telescope.
The telescope came from a scientific geek who devoted his whole body and soul to astronomical research. The biggest technical obstacle that troubled him was that humans could never see through the ancient starry sky with the naked eye.
All telescopes on the market cannot meet the requirements of science geeks.
Therefore, he researched like crazy, and finally combined technology and faith, making a wish towards the ancient starry sky, longing to have an "eye" with extremely powerful insight, which could be near, far, or large.
It is small and can observe the majestic starry sky, as well as carefully examine the dust particles in the distant starry sky.
That day coincided with a blood moon lunar eclipse, and the scientific geek's wish came true.
However, no one knew what he actually saw. In just a moment, the flesh, blood and spirit of the scientific geek were all integrated into the telescope in front of everyone.
Not only him, but all the staff of the entire astronomical research station at that time were swallowed up by the vast and greedy starry sky.
In the end, the flesh and blood of hundreds of people and the Astronomical Academy funded by the Zhao Family Foundation were condensed and reconstructed, resulting in the current a098 Astronomical Telescope for Science Geniuses.
Its effect: various levels of observation, and it contains the mental thinking of a scientific geek. It can complete autonomously and directionally assign tasks, and present them on the instrument screen panel of the telescope. It can also be remotely linked to smart devices.
Share live footage.
Its price: for every month of use, one person needs to accompany it to observe the stars for a day. Anyone who accompanies it to observe the stars will have their spirit and flesh melted, and will be sent by a098 to the ancient starry sky that it longs for most.
"Not good!!!" the noncommissioned officer suddenly exclaimed, took a step back, and ordered: "Go and report quickly. In the far edge of the city due to the south, the vanguard of the federal group army under the control of the Situ family is engaged in a firefight with unknown forces."
The communications soldier nodded and immediately turned around and left.
The sergeant closed his left eye again and placed his right eye against the observation hole again. Less than three minutes later, he raised his eyebrows: "There is no movement. Is the fight over?"
The telescope has a certain degree of self-awareness, quickly presents images, and magnifies many times.
12 men attacked the 500-man Federal Army, and it took less than five minutes to complete the beheading and kill nearly a hundred soldiers.
Such a time and such battle losses are too terrible. It can only mean one thing - those 12 people are all extraordinary beings with extremely strong combat capabilities.
"Come here, report again!" A faint trace of cold sweat penetrated the sergeant's forehead.
The signal corps had just left, and no one was there to deliver the order.
A voice reminded: "Report, the signal soldier has not returned yet."
Er, yes... the sergeant wiped his forehead and said, "Then you go and report the results of the battle between the two sides."
He briefly explained the report matters, and the soldier who made the noise took note of it and left quickly.
After some time, the messengers and soldiers came back again to report the news.
The sergeant stood there, motionless, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Sir, sir..."
The signal soldier stepped forward and poked his lower back.
The sergeant came back to his senses and said: "Go and report again. There is a light gate standing in the south area. It seems that someone else has invaded the Western Capital."
The corners of the communications soldier's mouth twitched slightly, without saying anything more, he turned around and left.
"No, it's not someone else, boss," the talkative soldier stared at the display screen equipped with the telescope, his fingers trembling, "I saw Boss Ye Zhen from Black Front Alley among that group of people!!!"
As an invincible being at the peak of level 4, Ye Zhen has a strength comparable to that of some early level level 5, so he has no reason to be famous.
Not only inside and outside City 36, but even across the entire federation, his name can be called "resounding".
Red Flag, Black Front Alley... two terms flashed through his mind. The sergeant wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face showed a little but no trace of worry.
He had heard from people above that the family intended to form an alliance with Red Flag, but due to the obstruction of the Leon and Kobe families among the nine major chaebols, it had never been formally reached.
Nowadays, the reputation of the Leon family and the Kobe family is so bad that it is too late to deal with the follow-up matters and there is absolutely no way to cause trouble.
Furthermore, excluding the two major families of Kobe and Leon, the remaining seven major families are currently holding a meeting.
The sergeant didn't know the specific content of the discussion, but he heard a lot of rumors - the remaining seven of the nine major families intended to eliminate those two major families.
Once this happens, it will definitely cause a bloody storm inside and outside the Federation.
It is definitely a great good thing that Chiqi can become an ally of the Zhao family!
The sergeant waved his hand and said: "Come on, come on..."
At this time, a soldier frowned and said, "Boss, should we evacuate back?"
"Evacuate? Evacuate for what?" The sergeant widened his eyes and gave him a fierce look. "Stick to your post. I have to report this important news."
"No, you are the captain, you can't just walk away."
"Yes, yes, among everyone present, you are the only one who knows the effect and cost of a098. If you leave, we are afraid..."
The soldiers were talking all over the place, and their words were all on point.
The sergeant rolled his eyes, "I understand what you mean."
He walked quickly to the window sill and shouted to the communication soldier who came downstairs: "Additional news, Boss Ye from Black Front Alley entered the Western Capital through the light gate, with a lot of people accompanying him, and a steady stream of people are still pouring in.
"
…………
Zhao Xiuhe, the head of the Zhao family, got the news immediately.
"Let's go! We must see Ye Zhen first."
Afterwards, he took the sealed suitcase that he had prepared long ago and issued an order - all teams of Izumo Ryuji were dispatched to suppress the news of Red Flag's entry into the Western Capital and gain some time.
About two hours later, in the Zhengnan District of Xidu, in a civilian shopping area, there was a small shop that looked like an open-air teahouse.
There is a fence at the entrance of the store and an outer courtyard surrounded by flowerbeds. Three slightly larger parasols are opened, and tables and chairs are placed below.
Next to the table and chair closest to the flower garden, Zhao Xiuhe, who has white eyebrows and a face like a jade, sat face to face with Ye Zhen, who had a serious poker face.
"It will be a pity that the flowers will not bloom for thousands of years." Zhao Xiuhe lamented and tapped the table with his index finger.
"Time is precious, we two don't have to play tricks," Ye Zhen shook his head, "Master Zhao, there is no need to beat around the bush, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
After half a second of silence, Zhao Xiuhe nodded and said, "Okay."
He retracted his index finger and pointed it at the sealed suitcase on the table. Two glimmers of light flashed out from his fingertips and accurately hit the two locks of the suitcase.
Click~~~Click~~~
The lock of the sealed suitcase was moved to the correct position, the password was correct, and the lid automatically popped open.
"What a big deal." Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with light, he stared at the items in the suitcase and chuckled.
Zhao Xiuhe said: "It has to be like this."
Ye Zhen glanced at Zhao Xiuhe's face, trying to get some clues.
Zhao Xiuhe's face was gentle and it was difficult for outsiders to notice anything strange about him.
Stretching his left hand two inches forward, almost reaching into the suitcase, Ye Zhen asked: "Is it okay?"
"Of course." Zhao Xiuhe smiled and nodded, "This item is suitable for Boss Ye, and it should be handed over to you."
Ye Zhen smiled and said nothing, put his left hand into the suitcase and picked up the metal heart.
After weighing it twice, Ye Zhen said: "Why?"
"I'll tell you the truth." A hint of loneliness flashed through Zhao Xiuhe's eyes, "This matter will take some time. Please listen to me, Boss Ye."
Ye Zhen hummed, "Go on, I'm listening."
Zhao Xiuhe said: "There are two demigods in the Governor's Mansion of the Western Capital, namely Chen Zizai and DJ Max."
"The former likes to be free and does not want to be restrained by others, nor does he like to restrain others. He does not have the posture of a leader."
"The latter is not the case. They have a lot of fun every night. They even held a concert in the Western Capital Governor's Mansion and forced the seven major families to send enough important people to listen."
With a wry smile, he continued: "The so-called sufficient weight falls on the head of the other six major families, that is, their respective leaders. But here in the Zhao family, it has to fall on the head of me, Zhao Xiuhe."
"I heard that the godfather of electronic music's concert was full of passion. It is suitable for the elderly to listen more and regain their youthful enthusiasm." Ye Zhen joked.
Zhao Xiuhe rolled his eyes, "This rumor is indeed true, but this is what worries me the most. DJ Max's concerts are always full of passion, and they will infect the audience and make them his loyal listeners."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ye Zhen noticed the meaning behind the words and became interested.
Zhao Xiuhe said: "After listening to the concerts for several nights in a row, I noticed a change in my self-awareness, as if I had been given special guidance. Many times, DJ Max would give seemingly casual instructions. As Zhao Xiuhe, I
The head of the family actually subconsciously wants to help."
"I realized something was wrong with me at that time, and used the deep knowledge of the Zhao family to temporarily resolve the mental impact. Otherwise, I would have completely become a loyal listener of DJ Max."
Ye Zhen lowered his jaw slightly, nodded, and said: "After such subtle control, your Zhao family leader must have realized that DJ Max's purpose is not simple, and it is not like he looks like a fanatic who only pays attention to music.
In fact, this guy is very scheming and has a profound plan."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Xiuhe frowned slightly, "After all, my ancestor of the Zhao family was deeply involved in it and could not wake up. The other major chaebols did not have lv5 combat power to enter the Western Capital. Mr. Sun Lutang left early, Kobe Wudao, Elizabeth, Chen
Yuan and the person he brought disappeared without a trace, and various conditions were added up. Then, how could he, DJ Max, not covet the West Capital Governor's Mansion?"
"It makes sense, but what does this have to do with the Metal Heart being handed over to me?" Ye Zhen smiled and put the Metal Heart back into the suitcase.
Zhao Xiuhe squinted his eyes slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes - Ye Zhen's attitude towards Metal Heart was too calm.
"Boss Ye is a smart man, why should he pretend not to know?" Zhao Xiuhe asked back, and continued: "Not to mention that going to the concert is very social, DJ Max used the concert to develop the top executives of many of our families to become his loyal listeners.
This has impure intentions. In other families, its purpose may only be the gain or loss of a few masters of a team, but for my Zhao family, it is a matter of life and death."
"So, you want to take a gamble?" Ye Zhen remained calm.
"Unique SSS-level materials like Metal Heart only deserve to be prefixed with two words."
Zhao Xiuhe added, his palm slightly moved forward, and the suitcase was pushed in front of Ye Zhen.
"I also ask Boss Ye Zhen to accept it. You will be promoted to level 5 as soon as possible, and on behalf of Red Flag, we will become allies with my Zhao family and protect our Zhao family from being controlled by DJ Max."
Snap!!!
Ye Zhen pressed the lid of the suitcase and threw the box containing the metal heart behind him.
There seemed to be only air there, but the air seemed to be moving slightly like a curtain. Su Qinjue stepped out and firmly caught the suitcase.
It's done... Zhao Xiuhe's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say anything.
"Madam, what do you think?" Ye Zhen turned around and asked.
Su Qinjue shook her head slightly, "I also brought someone here, and his opinions are more effective than mine."
Ye Zhen already knew who the visitor was and nodded: "That's true."
Zhao Xiuhe raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart who could convince both Ye Zhen and Su Qinjue.
"Master Zhao, don't be offended." Su Qinjue made a seal with both hands.
Zhao Xiuhe nodded, raised his hand, "Please!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Qinjue summoned a formation on the ground, and the air above the formation slowly overflowed, like broken bubbles.
A figure appeared there, but it was Wang Jun and not someone else.
So young? He seems familiar... Zhao Xiuhe stared at Wang Jun's face and was about to speak.
With the help of Su Qinjue's magic, Wang Jun took a step forward and flashed in front of Zhao Xiuhe.
He put his two fingers together, a blue shimmer appeared on his fingertips, and accurately pointed the center of Zhao Xiuhe's eyebrows. Then Wang Jun said: "The sword of wisdom cuts the heart!"
