Chapter 52: The Tree Realm

It's still the same table in the dark.

This time, no chips appeared on the table, only a few golden cups of scarlet wine from the base, revealing in a patchwork of pale blue data streams.

The lights on the southeast side suddenly came on.

Gwen, who was wearing a crown, flashed in her position, took a sip from the wine glass in front of her, and as if thinking of something, stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers.

A golden spoon appeared in his hand, tapping the rim of the glass twice.

A few seconds later, several other positions appeared.

"What's the matter, it's not party time...... Gwen?"

Lilith, still dressed in a bewitching dress, stood at the table, her face still seemed to have some unrelenting pale red afterglow, and her tone was not very friendly.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I do have some surprises to tell you. ”

Gwen, who realized that she might disturb the other party's good things, said sorry, but her eyes swept back and forth on Lilith, paused, and turned her gaze to the main seat again,

"Where's Connor, isn't he with you?"

"I'm waiting for you to report back on the accident you just mentioned. ”

The grim-faced young man stood behind the chair where Gwen was sitting with his fingers crossed, and walked to his place as he spoke.

Aside from the blue rings that had disappeared around his temples, his face was the same as it had been five years earlier.

As Conrad sat down, someone appeared in the darkness opposite, pulled out his chair, and sat down in silence, Bonaparte in the southwest position had already drunk the wine in the toast at this time, and his face did not change his face to play with the butterfly knife in his hand, and the blade of Sen Leng swirled around his fingertips.

"Ouroboros asked us to cooperate with the plan, and you agreed, so I've been preparing for this, and through a couple of in-community cameras, I've found some interesting things...... I don't understand, but see for yourself, what Ouroboros has to do this time is not simple!"

With a snap of his fingers again, a screen flashed on the table, not a single screen, but a patchwork of dozens or even hundreds of different screens, each the size of a cigarette pack.

There is nothing wrong with the picture that is difficult for ordinary people to see.

Mutant monsters, the cacophony of gunfire and the ubiquitous wails of panic......

"From community 35 to community 40, there are about 136 similar pictures collected so far, this is the picture in the surveillance camera, and the number of pictures outside the camera is about to double several times, of which there are only 53 battle scenes, most of which are concentrated in the 37th and 39th communities. ”

As Gwen spoke, the images on the screen split and reassembled, and they were reclassified.

"Haha~ Those infected people still have this kind of use, I knew that the people in the Ouroboros organization were crazy, and they actually used this method to confront the government of Thousand Sails City......"

Bonaparte leaned on the bench, his right hand against his cheek, and glanced at it casually, the combat power of the infected in the picture seemed to him to be unable to last long.

"It's just that as far as I know, the Qianfan City Garrison Department has noticed the abnormality of the low-level community, since this morning, nearly 50 Raider III. type airships have entered our territory, and this number is still increasing so far, just such a few infected people, I'm afraid that they will be cleaned up by the Qianfan City government in two or three days, and they won't be able to stir up any storms!"

In order to fight against the increasing number of spiritual pollution monsters in the surrounding danger zone and maintain its own power, Qianfan City has spared no effort to establish its own armed forces in recent years, plus the government of Qianfan City itself is a government jointly established by capital oligarchs.

And the huge investment of resources has always paid off.

Although most of these troops are stationed in several affiliated industrial cities outside of Thousand Sails to fight against the monsters that constantly infest the border, the number of armed forces remaining to maintain the security of Thousand Sails City remains at around 50,000.

This figure inevitably makes people feel shabby at first glance, after all, the population of Thousand Sails City is nearly 20 million, and 50,000 permanent troops are nothing compared to it.

This is not the case.

Strictly speaking, these 50,000 people actually refer to the "public" armed forces of Thousand Sails City, excluding community patrols that are biased towards regional police and the private forces of major consortia, but elite troops dedicated to special operations, and the garrison department is part of its functions.

These people usually only stay in the base for training, backed by the three major mechanical groups of Yuanfan, Crown, and Blue Wing, the weapon configuration of this force is undoubtedly world-class, coupled with the intelligence network of the Heavenly Brain controlling the whole city, there is no doubt about the strength of the combat effectiveness.

In a way, it is even a notch higher than the troops stationed outside, after all, the area they guard also has a "city in the sky".

It is impossible for tens of thousands of terrorists or hundreds of proto-body monsters of spiritual pollution to suddenly appear in Thousand Sails City, and the city-wide supervision of the Heavenly Wisdom Brain is enough for the Thousand Sails City government to detect the signs of turmoil in any area in the shortest possible time and give a blow.

Small-scale unrest can be handled fairly safely with only a few squads, so 50,000 elite soldiers, no matter how you look at it, are enough to deal with any situation.

"You mean the Ouroboros will fail?"

Lilith was also back to normal at this time...... Well, it's just the flush on my face.

"If the current trend continues, the word 'failure' is not very accurate, and it may be better to describe it as 'fiasco'. ”

Putting away the butterfly knife nonchalantly, and raising his hand to brush his dreadlocks, Bonaparte apparently didn't care much about the success of Ouroboros' plan.

"It's too early to talk about the success or failure of the Ouroboros, it's clear that the Ouroboros' plans are at the beginning, their setup in the underlying community is not yet fully revealed, and I don't think they'd be stupid enough to use a defeat to expose their secrets that they have been hiding for years. ”

The woman sitting across from Connor finally spoke.

While she spoke, Gwen and Bonaparte, who were just about to open their mouths, chose to shut up, and Lilith half-squinted, the corners of her mouth slightly downward, but she did not interrupt her speech.

"I agree with this statement, the Ouroboros have been planning for a long time, and it can't be that it is trying to bring a worthless fiasco on itself. ”

Without waiting for the other three to speak, Connor answered first,

"If the Ouroboros can fight against the Thousand Sails City government on their own, they don't need to come to us to seek cooperation, besides, we have never been allies with the Ouroboros, and now it's just a cooperative relationship of interests, Gwen, don't worry too much, as long as our plan goes smoothly, the outcome of the Ouroboros organization will not affect anything. ”

"I understand, in that case, I will inform you when the time is right...... Heaven is not easy to deal with, and we have to cut in at the right time to find a way to get what we want. ”

With Connor's assurance, Gwen's expression was noticeably more relaxed, and she took a sip of the wine from her glass and disappeared directly into her seat.

"I continue to monitor the movement of the security department, and wait for them to send us the weapons we want, speaking of which, I haven't seen the weapons of the strips, and the things made by the crown may be even more powerful than ours, but unfortunately, they are all brainless guys...... Hey, I don't seem to have a brain, it's such a shit joke. ”

Flicking his dreadlocks, Bonaparte disappeared from the table.

"I'll go first, you talk. ”

Another person got up to leave.

"Wendy!"

Connor stopped the man who turned around and said in a deep voice,

"I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Lilith glanced at Connor, stopped talking, and finally had to leave.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Wearing a brown waistcoat over a beige turtleneck, a pair of slim trousers on the lower body, and her long hair was simply coiled behind her head, Wendy's appearance was the same.

Unlike Lilith's seductive look, her dress is ordinary, but it's also comfortable.

This is a dress that someone praised a long time ago.

She didn't want to change.

"You left abruptly because of the person Lilith mentioned, right, neither I nor anyone else have been able to reach you in the last few days...... Are you looking for him?"

"Any questions?"

Wendy didn't deny it, but asked rhetorically.

"The tree world is about to face serious challenges, and I need you to be fully prepared, and humans should not be the factor that influences our actions and judgments. ”

The conversation between them does not need to be tentative, and absolute sanity will allow both parties to arrive at the best answer.

"It doesn't conflict with what I'm doing now, he doesn't affect our plans, I went to him just to get an answer. ”

Looking Connor in the eye, Wendy's answer was straightforward.

"Next, you will be in charge of the monitoring and follow-up of Community 35, I think it won't be long before Ouroboros will ask us for help, this is their chance, and it is also a great opportunity for us!"

"Got it. ”

Silence turned, and Wendy's figure disappeared from the table.

Connor stood there and watched her leave, then turned to pick up his own glass of wine on the table, brought it to his lips, paused for a few seconds, and then put it back on the table.

He clearly knew that this good-looking drink was nothing more than a virtual product of data, and that there was no taste when drunk.

What he really wants is the desire to drink.

For Connor.

It's just too hard.
