Dinner was not sumptuous, but it was very tasty, and it was Victor's favorite dish.

It is the basic duty of a secretary to know the eating habits of the commander and prepare delicious meals for the commander. It can be said that Victor's secretary knows his appetite better than his wife. If you can't even do this little thing, you are not qualified to be the secretary of the commander of the military district.

Although the commander's secretary, like the secretary of other generals, is only an ordinary soldier and can only receive the soldier's salary, but by the commander's side, he can always get some special benefits. For example, after the outbreak of war, Ella used this status to place a few relatives who failed the test into the legion, so that they could receive enough military pay to support their family and obtain privileges. Female soldiers like Ella, who don't have outstanding superpowers, all dream of becoming the secretary of the commander of the military district. If you are in other positions, it is impossible to have such an opportunity, and it is impossible to obtain the special benefits that this status can have.

It's a pity that Victor didn't have much of an appetite.

Although the body is very healthy, even according to the average life expectancy, Victor can live for more than sixty years, and he is a general, the actual life span can reach two hundred years, but he is already old, many physiological functions have been degraded, and the physical consumption has been greatly reduced, so the demand for food is not very much. What's more, he is a Level 5 modulation superpower, able to use the nutrients of food more effectively than ordinary people.

"Ella, pinch my shoulders." Victor fell backwards, then closed his eyes.

Ella immediately walked over lightly, and then pinched Victor's shoulder. For her, it's the most important thing of the day. Three years ago, after becoming Victor's secretary, Ella had to do it every day, and it wasn't just Victor who enjoyed it. Although I don't know the reason for it, every time she massages Victor, Ella always has an inexplicable urge for this old man who no longer has the normal functions of a man, and sometimes even has a physiological reaction, which makes her have a refreshing feeling that is difficult to express in words, as if just this kind of intimately act can make her orgasm.

Of course, it's not Ella who is enjoying all this, it's Victor.

What's more, while enjoying it, Victor also acquires something more important: life force.

Long before the establishment of the Doomsday Empire, scientists on the United Continent found that due to genetic limitations, it was difficult for a normal person's lifespan to exceed one hundred and forty years old. With a few exceptions, the average human life expectancy is only 140 years. To prolong life, the only way to prolong life is to replace the aging organs by cloning. Before the Doomsday Empire, it was already very common to extend life through cloning.

By the time of the Apocalyptic Empire, due to the restrictions of the fertility policy, the prolongation of life through cloning and replacement of organs was completely prohibited by the imperial authorities. The reason is simple, the space on the United Continent is very limited, and even if you don't take into account the resources consumed by cloning, everyone has an infinite lifespan, or it won't be long before it will be overcrowded. At that time, in order to compete for the limited living space, war will be inevitable.

The problem is that not everyone wants to die at the age of one hundred and forty, especially those who hold power.

As a result, the Empire's scientists have developed a technique that can be modulated to allow some people to gain a unique superpower, which is to absorb the life force of others. In this way, the upper echelons of the empire were given additional longevity, at the expense of others who did not live to be one hundred or forty years old at all. Because this involves the most basic issue, that is, equality in the right to life, this technique has not been made public, only a very few people know about it, and only after such a high position as the commander of the military region, can this superpower be obtained through modulation. In addition, in order to exert this superpower, direct physical contact is required.

Ella didn't know what to do, and while she was enjoying it, she was also losing her vitality.

It is precisely because of this that every five years, Victor will change a secretary, and every day he will have direct physical contact with the secretary in the form of massage, massage, etc. In this way, Victor accumulated at least sixty more years for himself, and he would have lived to be two hundred years old unless he died in an accident.

The floor shook suddenly, Victor opened his eyes, and the whole building began to shake.

By the time the explosion was heard, Victor had pushed Ella away and stood up.

There was an explosion nearby, and it was so violent that otherwise the building of the headquarters of the military district, with a total mass of more than 50 million tons and a height of 1,800 meters, would not have shaken.

"Go see what's going on." Victor was calm. The building didn't collapse, and even if it did, he wouldn't have died here.

Ella was nervous and hurried towards the office door, she didn't have the superpowers of Victor, she didn't want to die.

Ella pulled the door open, and a staff officer hurried in.

"General......

"What's going on?"

"Explosion...... It's your car. ”

"What!?" Victor immediately frowned.

"It was supposed to be a supercritical fusion battery, and it exploded just after driving out of the garage, killing all the people nearby, and many others were injured......"

"Call the guards."

"General, the explosion scene is chaotic, you ......"

"Do you think I'm going to be done so easily?" Victor glared at the staff officer, "Martial law immediately, forbidding anyone to leave the city, and then conducting a city-wide search, be sure to catch the assassin." ”

"Yes!"

"Also, it's a good mouth. Even if there is only one breath left, let the assassin live. ”

"Yes!"

Victor waved his hand, and the staff officer immediately went out.

The guards arrived, looked at Ella with a panicked look, and Victor left the office.

This is not the first time that an assassination has been directed against him, and it is not the first time that such an assassination method has been encountered.

Upon hearing the staff officer's debriefing, Victor immediately remembered what had happened five years ago. It was also an explosion, and it was also a supercritical fusion battery on a flying car. Although it was later found that someone had damaged the battery's control chip, causing the battery to exceed a critical point while it was running, more clues suggest that it was a targeted assassination operation rather than an accident.

At that time, the manhunt continued for a whole month, but the Assassin was not caught.

The main thing is that half a day after the explosion, it was confirmed that it was an assassination operation, and Victor did not order martial law in the whole city in time, which gave the assassin a chance to escape.

Something like this happened again, leaving Victor furious.

Although the assassination five years ago had nothing to do with the war, and could not have been instructed by others, it was very likely that it was just a personal vendetta. In any case, as the commander of the military district, Victor has enough power in his hands, and he inevitably has enough enemies. But the current assassination is obviously related to a certain separatist force, and it is definitely not a personal vendetta, but related to Victor's power.

If it was just a personal vendetta, Victor would not complain about anything.

Even in times of peace, with the exception of a few members of large families, everyone has to rely on their own strength, and they can enjoy privileges if they have the ability.

Victor could not tolerate his rebellion.

The problem is that Victor has no evidence that those deputy commanders did something rebellious.

Although the world is already in chaos, and all problems can be solved by strength, but now, Victor does not have strong enough strength to deal with the three deputy commanders. If you need to rely on external forces, such as seeking help from other military regions and asking other families to provide support, you must come up with enough evidence. What's more, the belief that is ingrained in the military makes it even more important for Victor to rely on evidence to act.

You must know that the deputy commander of the legion he is going to deal with is also a fifth-level modulation enhancer.

If there is no evidence, and then action is taken, it will give other careerists the opportunity to meddle in the Northern Military District, or even ban Victor.

The only way to get evidence is to catch the assassin.

The assassination last month gave Victor almost the opportunity to send troops to Sandcastle City. The Assassin was surrounded by the guards, but instead of surrendering, he detonated the explosive device hidden on his body in the last moments. At that time, Victor was not on the scene, and the officers of the guard did not have enough mental strength. If he was on the scene, he would be able to control the Assassin's consciousness and prevent him from committing suicide.

Missed a chance and definitely can't miss a second chance.

Instead of taking the elevator, Victor went straight downstairs. With his superpowers, he can run much faster than an elevator.

Of course, several of his guards were the same.

They are all modulators, and the captain of the guard is a fourth-level modulator, and he only accepted the modulation after the outbreak of war. The other guards who are responsible for protecting Victor are all Level 3 modulation superpowers, and they have focused on increasing their strength and speed. Even compared to those who are not the fifth-level modulation superpowers of the force and speed type, their speed and force are not inferior at all.

In fact, in the entire northern zone, there were very few people who were able to defeat the guards of the commander of the military district.

By the time they arrived at the site of the explosion, the guards of the corps headquarters had already been dispatched to blockade the surrounding city, and martial law had been issued to the troops stationed on the outskirts of the city. What's more, the city's security surveillance system has been activated and is searching for suspicious people who appeared before and after the explosion.

Victor did not bring communication equipment, and with his mental strength, he was able to obtain search information in time.

The explosion was so powerful that if it had not occurred in the air, but under the foundations of the building, it would have been able to collapse the entire building. A lot of people died, and they were all directly vaporized. There are still many wounded, paramedics have arrived, and rescue work is underway.
