Chapter 17: Refusal to go to war
Speaking of which, we have to mention the difference between the Eastern and Western continents and some historical issues.
As I said a long time ago, although the Federation is very large, there are many cities, and there are both Eastern and Western continents, but Mingyang City is the core of the Federation.
It is also the core of the Eastern and Western continents. Although it is impossible for people from the Western Continent to return to the Eastern Continent most of the time or even for a lifetime, for the people of the Western Continent, the only capital city of the Federation is also Mingyang City.
It's just too far away to get there.
Speaking of the Eastern and Western continents, this has to mention the events after the end of the world.
In the era of Great Nirvana, the whole earth seemed to be shrouded in the ruins of the frenzied growth of alien plants and the current ruins of the former cities.
Until the era of Nirvana, the earth underwent a series of crustal movements, and after the vicissitudes of life, the continental plates almost completely merged together and became a continent of Rum.
However, if the continent is divided in detail, it is also divided into east and west.
Between the Eastern and Western continents, the narrowest point is only about 100,000 kilometers.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost cut off at the waist.
Originally, among the human survivors who had begun to consciously gather together at the beginning of the Great Nirvana Era, because there were more people in the East, and relatively speaking, the Eastern Continent was safer than the Western Continent, at least in the process of the Eastern Great Road's crustal movement, the volcanic eruption area was only concentrated in a specific place, and other places were less than the Western Continent.
So when they gathered, intentionally or unintentionally, most of the human survivors gathered in the eastern part of the continent. And wait until the end of the Great Nirvana era. When humanity began to rebuild the city-state with difficulty surrounded by alien beasts and alien plants, it was natural to take the first city. That is, the current capital of Mingyang City was chosen in Dongdalu.
It's just that at the beginning, the people who managed to survive the catastrophe were not easy. As the flame of hope for human beings to enter the village, in order to survive, everyone can also support each other and abandon some interest disputes and other negative influences.
But gradually, as the living conditions of human beings gradually stabilized, and as the city-state became stronger, the contradictions between people became more and more numerous.
Especially between the East and the West, there are differences in ethnicity, differences in skin color. The environment in which you grew up and the habits that are engraved in your bones are different, etc., etc., etc......
All of them have become ignition points that cause unhappiness between the two sides.
And with the emergence of friction again and again, the gap between the two sides will inevitably become larger and larger.
In addition, among the ancestors of the nine hidden families who faintly became the head of the supernatural at that time, there were suddenly only two Western superpowers, and because of the different directions of the awakened abilities of the two sides, the main work they did was not to attack, but to assist.
This is undoubtedly an even worse thing for them.
In the end, the people of the Western Continent still chose to leave, although it is getting better and better to leave this area. But it seems to be less and less suitable for the land they live in, and they return to their own continent to adapt and survive again.
So far, the people of the Western continent have firmly established themselves on the other half of the continent, and even have their own independent culture and education system.
After all. The cultivation methods and advanced directions of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent are different, and even some of the thoughts and habits engraved in their bones are different, so there is really nothing to teach.
So there was silence on both sides. On the premise of indifference on the premise of one side, the difference between the Western continent and the Eastern continent. It has grown larger and larger as the millennium has passed.
This is also the reason why Chu Ci and Chu Dian's parents were sent to the Western Continent as "members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Western Continent" and have not returned.
Today's nine hermit families. Except for the two Western families, only the heirs of each generation of the family head stayed in Mingyang City to receive education, and the rest were all Orientals.
In fact, the situation in the Western Continent was much worse than that in the Eastern Continent, and it was only because the Western Continent was suitable for their cultivation that they had to move to another continent.
So in fact, although the Western Continent is nominally equal to the Eastern Continent, in fact, it has always been led by the Eastern Continent.
In addition, because of the gap in the cultivation direction of the supernatural beings in the Western Continent now, and the reason why there are fewer people6, in fact, the Western Continent has declined in recent years and is even more powerful than the Eastern Continent.
Therefore, compared to the Eastern Continent, which is full of infighting, the Western Continent has been very calm except for sending a small number of garrisons to participate in the war.
Even, after the emergence of the new cultivation method of the energy-transforming golden pill, because the abilities of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent were in the same direction, they wanted to transform the Golden Pill, and the success rate was lower than that of the Eastern Continent, so they were even more low-key.
People who don't have the strength and don't know how to keep a low profile are purely looking for death.
This is the rule of survival that almost everyone in the Western continent has implemented.
Therefore, although the current Western Continent is at least developing very well in its own Western Continent, in fact, it still has to bow its head in front of some people in the Eastern Continent, especially in Mingyang City.
Therefore, when receiving the request of Dongda Road to close all the entry and exit ports of the mainland on both sides, the other party almost couldn't wait to agree.
Especially when he heard that Chu Ci cut off the communication between the two continents at this time, in order to arrest the group of guys accused of betraying the Federation on Dongda Road, the other party not only did not have the slightest anger, but was very grateful.
After all, if these people really wandered to the Western Continent, it would be a disaster for them.
After going through a series of events, the Western Continent needs peace and recuperation more than the Eastern Continent. These civil strife, whether they have the heart or not, they are not capable of participating in it now.
So right now, it's just perfect for them.
"Mr. Xu, what should we do now?" Seeing that all the retreats had been closed, these people panicked.
Originally. They envisioned it beautifully.
After kidnapping Charlene, she smuggled into the Star Alliance. Send it to those people as their "sincerity" and bargaining chips for cooperation with the other party.
Of course. Since it is cooperation, then under the premise that they are showing weakness now, the other party must of course give them enough benefits as an "ally".
For example, some powerful weapons.
And with these, after they return to the Federation, when the Interstellar Alliance launches a large-scale attack on the Federation, attracting most of the forces of the Federation Military Department to be transferred to the interstellar battlefield, they can also cooperate with the outside and launch a rebellion when the Federation is empty.
Until that time. As long as it works well, there is no possibility that they will rebel.
But who would have thought that Xia Lin, a woman who is not even the most ordinary soldier, at best just the adopted daughter of the Chu family, would have a micro and nano signaler on her body?
Shouldn't this thing be one of the top secrets of the federal military, and only a very small number of people who have been on special missions are eligible to obtain it?!
Even with the identity of the Chu family, it is not impossible to get one of these things, but. Who would casually use something so important on a woman of little value?
Or is it true that the Chu family already knew what kind of secret Xia Lin had in her body a long time ago, right? Thinking like this, Xu Qing's face became even more ugly.
Although it was finally confirmed that Charlene really had a secret, what if there were more secrets? If you can't get out of the predicament in front of you. The more secrets Charlene has, the more dangerous it is for them.
"Damn it! Shi Yue. Let me find a way to contact the people in the Star Alliance and pass on the news that Charlene is now in our hands. Sue them if they don't find a way to help us escape, be careful that we die in the net! When the time comes, this woman named Charlene died. They don't regret it! ”
Xu Qing's words came out, and the originally panicked people instantly looked at a very ordinary-looking thin man called Shi Yue as if they had found a way to be saved.
"Yes, big brother!" However, few people knew that this young man, who looked very inconspicuous and even a little sickly, was a fifth-order pure spiritual power.
Don't look at the strength of the fifth order. Pure psychic abilities are different from ordinary abilities.
Originally, the Federation's pure psychic abilities were very rare, and because they couldn't rely on any external things to improve their ability level, even the power stones were not very useful.
And as a pure psychic ability with a waste of martial arts, you expect him to go hunting in the jungle to increase the level of his ability? Let's not talk about whether this is reliable or not, just talking about safety is a big obstacle.
The only way for them to do this is to cultivate their spiritual power through guò to reach the advanced level.
It's a very long thing and a test of one's perseverance. In addition, they use very little energy when fighting, and more often use mental power, so their mental power is generally much higher than that of other abilities of the same level.
Therefore, among those with pure spiritual power, even if it is a fifth order, it is already a very high level. Although it is much worse than the eighth-order ability among the superpowers, there are still seventh-order abilities.
Of course, it does not refer to combat effectiveness, but to the value of Cheng dù.
And in order to cultivate Shi Yue, a person with pure spiritual power, the Xu family spent a lot of strength and materials, in order to be able to better use the value of the other party, and it is best to make the best use of the other party.
And being able to contact the "receptionist" of the interstellar alliance on a planet that is far away in the interstellar world is enough to prove that the other party's strength is true.
After contacting the other party, Shi Yue did not hesitate to tell the other party that they had the "precious item" of Charlene in their hands, and also spied on a trace of the secret that it is not convenient to say now and can only be told in person, as well as the dangers they are facing now.
It seems that he is not afraid of the other party's face at all.
Of course, in fact, those guys in the Interstellar Alliance who were obviously ready to give it a go didn't hesitate for long when they heard that Xu Qing had Xia Lin in his hands, a person who obviously had nothing abnormal, but was deeply favored by the undead, and agreed to the other party's request.
Of course, as for the cooperation in other aspects, this is not in a hurry, of course, it is practical when it comes to your own hands, isn't it?
"Report!" Standing outside the office where Chu Ci and Chu Dian worked, the hedgehog stared at this guy who looked neat and strict a few hours ago, why did he look so wolf now, and shouted a report.
The process of these two brothers causing trouble is really ......
It's an equal sign with their intelligence.
"What's the matter?"|Raising his head from the pile of materials in front of him, Chu Ci looked at the hedgehog almost expressionlessly.
The hedgehog hesitated for a moment, but still handed his wrist instrument directly to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci and Chu Dian were all focused on other things, but they didn't notice when there were more than a dozen call requests on their wrists.
Chu Ci & Chu Dian: ......
This time, they were innocent.
However, the two hesitated for a moment, and Chu Ci clicked on the call request. It's always about knowing the other party's intentions, isn't it?
The search operation has only been going on for eight hours, and seeing that the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and they may be able to catch that damn guy after more than one level, and clean up those scum who show off their power in Mingyang City, the battle situation on the interstellar battlefield has changed suddenly.
Originally, because of the addition of a murderous team like Jindan Ability, the team of Ability, which had become "weak", really achieved a counterattack reversal, and the battle situation was suddenly reversed with the people of the Interstellar Alliance.
It is an exaggeration to say that it is an exaggeration to beat the warships of the Interstellar Alliance, but even this group of Jindan soldiers, who are probably less than one percent of all the soldiers, did succeed in slapping their faces, but it is true.
But it seems that this is only temporary?
Receiving the news that the Interstellar Alliance had suddenly increased its attack and invested a new batch of trained soldiers, as well as a group of fighters with various attack performances, and began to launch a large-scale onslaught against the warships and soldiers of the Federation, and the interstellar battlefield was in urgent need of reinforcements, Chu Ci, who was staying in the study with Chu Dian and waiting for news, squinted his eyes slightly.
"Oh? Has it already begun? Chu Dian raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, as if he was not worried about the other party's actions at all.
"Ahh Both of us are currently injured, and although we want reinforcements, we are not enough...... Really...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”
Chu Dian smiled and said to the person on the other side of the virtual screen, but with that straightforward and bold look, how could he be the slightest bit sorry? (To be continued......)
