When he was brought to the headquarters, Chu Tianjiang knew that the hand he showed at the checkpoint outside the city had already played a role.

Although he didn't know much about the situation on the United Continent, especially after the outbreak of war, according to the information provided by Memphis, Chu Tianjiang came to a conclusion. In this chaotic world, even the warlords of the divided side are always in danger. Whether it's for growth or self-preservation, warlords need strong men, so strong men are welcome everywhere.

The more chaotic the times, the more capable people will be valued.

In addition, Chu Tianjiang also learned some key information from Memphis.

For example, among the common people, there are some people who are born with superpowers, and among these people, some rare powerhouses will emerge. Although the vast majority of people's superpowers come from modulation, especially enhancing superpowers, or obtaining other superpowers, almost only through modulation, there are still a few people who have obtained extremely powerful superpowers through natural evolution.

These people are the targets of the warlords' search and encirclement.

In fact, this explains what you see and hear along the way.

The army sent by the warlords, instead of killing the young people, took all the young people, indicating that the warlords everywhere are doing everything they can to expand the size of the army. There may not have been a large-scale war yet, but no one would have thought that this chaotic situation would be maintained forever. As the warlords in various localities complete the internal rectification work, wars will definitely break out among the warlords, driven by factors such as interests, living space, and desires. When the time comes, whoever has the stronger military power will be able to win the war.

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth, and anyone can understand it.

It was precisely because of this that when he arrived at the checkpoint outside the city, Chu Tianjiang deliberately showed his hand.

Unlike Chu Tianjiang's expectations, the checkpoint was not aimed at ordinary people, and to be precise, it was not used to prevent ordinary people from entering the city. Anyone can enter Storm City without going through inspections. Only when a suspicious person is found, the officers and soldiers at the checkpoint will stop him and carry out the necessary search. The main function of the checkpoint is conscription, that is, to recruit officers and soldiers from among those outsiders who enter Storm City.

This is a time of war, not peace.

In times of peace, anyone, even if they do not participate in social labor, can receive the necessary necessities of life, and the Doomsday Empire does not demand anything in return. It is also easy to understand that under the rule of the Doomsday Empire, the production of materials was almost entirely done by automated machinery and equipment, and humans hardly had to participate in production work, and most people were engaged in the service industry. Because of the great wealth of society, it is possible to obtain the necessary means of survival even without having to work. If you want to live a better life, or to obtain some special rights, such as having children, you need to contribute to society and participate in necessary social work. After the Doomsday Empire began to restrict childbearing, the main reward for labor was the right to procreate.

It's a pity that this is the rule of society in peacetime.

The apocalyptic empire collapsed suddenly, and with it, the subsistence security that had been provided free of charge collapsed. In this time of war, anyone needs to work to survive, at least in Storm City. According to the rules laid down by the Legion, civilians were not required to participate in productive labor, but they were required to provide services to society as a whole. Those living in Storm City can only obtain labor vouchers issued by the Legion through labor, and can exchange them for food, drinking water, energy, medicine, clothing, and other necessities from the Legion's material distribution points.

There are only soldiers who don't have to work.

Of course, enlistment in the army itself is a kind of labor, at least in the propaganda of the legion.

According to the Legion's propaganda, joining the Legion itself is serving everyone, that is, providing the most basic and important security guarantees for everyone else.

In other words, as long as you become a regimental officer, you can get the necessary living materials corresponding to your military rank.

Even the most basic soldier can feed a family. If you become an officer, even if it is a low-ranking officer, you are richer than the vast majority of the common people.

For the ordinary people who have been suffering in the war for half a year, this is obviously a great temptation.

That's why recruits have been set up at all checkpoints outside Stormtown.

Anyone can apply to join the Storm Legion, all they have to do is fill out their identity on a form and take an aptitude test. After completing the test, the officer at the recruiting station assigns the recruitee a reserve rank corresponding to his ability based on the results of the test. Although they can only receive military salaries after passing the military examination and becoming regular officers and soldiers, as long as they are reserve officers and soldiers, they can have no worries about food and clothing.

Because they were in a hurry early in the morning, when Chu Tianjiang and they arrived, there were no civilians in the recruiting station.

Chu Tianjiang knew that the most direct way to find out what was happening on the United Continent was to contact the high-level, preferably a big person.

When filling in the identity information, Chu Tianjiang followed the set he told Memphis.

Although he was not from the United Continent, Chu Tianjiang was not discriminated against, and it seemed that the officer at the recruiting station didn't care where he came from.

Aptitude test, conducted on one device.

This is a high-tech device, at least much more advanced than the equipment Chu Tianjiang had seen before hibernation, and in addition to being able to test the genetic information of the tester, it can also test superpowers, and even the level of superpowers. Of course, this was also the first time Chu Tianjiang had heard of such a thing. Test results are displayed on a three-dimensional projection screen and fluctuate depending on the basic abilities demonstrated by the subject.

Obviously, this did not stump Chu Tianjiang.

Besides, with Iskar here, even if Chu Tianjiang didn't show superpowers, he would be able to let Iska control the consciousness of the officers at the recruiting station.

Because he couldn't predict what would happen next, Chu Tianjiang didn't let Iska do it.

Under the instructions of the officer at the recruiting station, Chu Tianjiang completed the test.

What happened next made Chu Tianjiang puzzled.

After completing the test, Chu Tianjiang was taken to a separate room, and then Iska and Soya were also sent over by the soldiers at the recruiting station. After being cold for half an hour, the officer from the recruiting station rushed over, and he was very enthusiastic, not only brought fragrant food, but also asked Chu Tianjiang if he wanted other services, such as taking a hot bath. Chu Tianjiang didn't make any other requests, and he didn't even enjoy breakfast. He was then boarded on a transport plane capable of vertical take-off and landing, a vehicle that flew through the air to be exact. The officers at the recruiting station repeatedly said that they would take care of Iska and Soya, and Chu Tianjiang did not let them go with him.

When he came to the outside of the building, Chu Tianjiang knew that this was the headquarters of the legion.

Compared to other buildings, the building is very tall, with sound defenses and a large number of military vehicles suspended in the air. What's more, the people who came in and out of the building were all soldiers, mostly military officers, and mainly high-ranking officers.

Chu Tianjiang knew that the strength he showed had already attracted the attention of a certain big man, and this big man was the commander of the legion. According to the information that Iska read from the heads of the officers at the recruiting station, it was the corps commander, Admiral Rockwell, who ordered Chu Tianjiang to be sent to the legion headquarters.

Entering the legion headquarters, Chu Tianjiang can be regarded as an eye-opener.

This is not only a building, but also a completely independent world. The building has a well-connected flight lane that connects various departments, and the air pressure in the building is significantly higher than that of the outside world, and it has an independent air purification system. At the base of the building there is also a separate energy system, as well as industrial facilities such as a sewage treatment plant, a food production plant, etc. Even when isolated from the outside world, the building can continue to function.

Obviously, this is the result of scientific and technological progress.

According to Chu Tianjiang's estimates, the legion headquarters building can accommodate at least 100,000 people, perhaps more. This building alone is the equivalent of a small town. It is precisely because of this that on the United Continent, there will be a super city like Doomsday City, with a population of more than 100 million.

The officer in charge of the reception sent Chu Tianjiang outside the commander's office, and then went in to report.

Chu Tianjiang didn't look around, and he didn't need to look around.

The building is full of monitors, and they are the kind of monitors that are so discreet that they cannot be taken lightly, such as the line light source installed at the junction of the wall and ceiling. Even a powerhouse like Chu Tianjiang has no secrets to speak of unless he uses his energy body to achieve invisibility.

Chu Tianjiang already knew that the commander of the legion was called Rockwell, and he was a typical soldier.

It's just that before getting to know this soldier, Chu Tianjiang didn't want to be too flamboyant. Anyway, he's a stranger from the New World.

In less than a minute, the officer in charge of the reception rushed back and invited Chu Tianjiang into the commander's office.

A large, and equally empty, room. Of course, it just looks empty. The facilities and equipment needed for an office are all hidden from the ceiling or under the floor, controlled by a set of intelligent programs, and only show up when needed.

The first thing Chu Tianjiang saw was Rockwell, the soldier who looked to be about fifty years old.

Of course, that's just the age it seems.

The average life expectancy on the United Continent reached one hundred and forty years, and it was only after the age of one hundred that it would age significantly, so Rockwell's actual age should be between seventy and eighty years.

Chu Tianjiang was very relaxed, and he had no reason to be nervous.

Although he only glanced at it, Chu Tianjiang had already seen that Rockwell was a modulator and had superpowers comparable to those of the elders of the church.

Obviously, Rockwell is not a threat at all, and his superpowers are nothing at all.
