On the last day of the inspection, Xu Yuan found Zhao Deyang at the presidential palace of the Federation of Ghana.

Seeing him again at this moment, there is no longer any decadent temperament from his body.

Dressed in a clean suit, his hair was combed into a proper appearance, and he was followed by a chief of staff.

Former President Guo Zhencun fled from the Ghanaian Federation in disgrace just after the election, leaving the country with his back to the 7th District.

He knows very well that once he loses power, Zhao Deyang, who was plotted by himself, will definitely not let him go.

And his former chief of staff was not so lucky.

Because he was two steps late, he was immediately found to have an improper transaction with Jia Tongluo, the former president of the Tongluo Chamber of Commerce, and was imprisoned by the prosecutor of the court pending trial.

The president of the court has already told Zhao Deyang that it is impossible not to sentence him to ten or twenty years.

Having tasted the taste of power, Zhao Deyang is naturally loyal to Xu Yuan.

Because he knows very well that everything he enjoys now is because of this man, and if that person wants to lose all this, it is just a matter of words.

"At present, we are discussing the proposal to join the new country economic zone, and we have explained to the people that this is not a surrender to the new country, nor is it ruled by the new country, but a means to promote cooperation between the two sides, and the businessmen of the new country will be more convenient to go to the Ghana Federation to invest, and we can no longer pay for national defense, and the saved military spending can be used to do more and more meaningful things."

"Is anyone against it?" Xu Yuan asked casually.

"Of course, but very little," Zhao Deyang's eyes rolled. Ten fingers crossed on the table and said in an affirmative tone, "We'll convince them." ”

"Don't be so nervous," Xu Yuan took a sip of tea with a smile and leaned back on the sofa, "I said that I would make you president, and now it has been realized, and I also said that as long as you are obedient, you can always sit in this position." ”

"Of course, I trust you, I'm just a little unused to it." Zhao Deyang let out a sigh, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Get used to it as soon as possible."

"I will."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked.

"Have you investigated a bit about who sent the letter?"

As for who leaked the password to the Ghanaian Federation, Xu Yuan is still curious.

If it's not Dr. Liu, who is associated with the shelter?

"We already have eyebrows, we have plucked some information from the mouth of the former president's chief of staff, and used some special means......" Zhao Deyang smiled.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to ask you about the details of your interrogation, to get to the point." Xu Yuan waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing the impatient expression on Xu Yuan's face, Ji Yucheng immediately replied.

"Someone from the first district."

"Zone 1...... Have they already reached here? Xu Yuan frowned slightly and said to himself.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was in thought, Zhao Deyang didn't dare to disturb him, so he waited silently for him to speak again.

"What about those people?"

"People?"

"People from District 1." Xu Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Deyang shook his head regretfully and said:

"I sent someone to track down their whereabouts, but the clue was cut off ten days ago, they checked out of the hotel, and no one has seen them since."

"Ten days ago, probably the second day you became president."

"That's right." Zhao Deyang nodded.

"So can we think that they took away Mr. Guo Zhencun, the former president." Xu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"My chief of staff and I think the same thing, but we can't find any evidence of a connection between them." Zhao Deyang smiled bitterly.

"Evidence is just a reference factor, I'm not a judge, sometimes I trust intuition more, just like the media can't find evidence that there is a 'connection' between us, but the continuity between us exists objectively." Xu Yuan's fingers tapped the back of his neck.

Looking at Xu Yuan's movements, Zhao Deyang swallowed and foamed.

In the same position, he has a chip on the back of his neck, and his identity has become a member of Xinguo, but it has not been disclosed to the public.

When the Federation of Ghana is officially incorporated into the big family of the new country, Xu Yuan may consider giving him a Medal of Honor.

It symbolizes the contribution made by Zhao Deyang.

Seeing that Zhao Deyang no longer spoke, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to command.

"You're closer to District 1 than District 9, and I have only one piece of advice for that, keep an eye on them, you know what I mean?"

"What do you mean...... People in District 1 will be bad for me? Zhao Deyang's face was a little ugly.

Although he had never been there, just by listening to the word of mouth of the caravans passing by, he could feel the strength of the so-called four districts.

Compared to there, these other districts, because of the devastation of war, are more like wild places.

This is also the reason why the people of District 1 claim to be orthodox.

"That's right." Xu Yuan said succinctly.

"But they are more than 2,000 kilometers away from us, and it is a question of how they can get here." Zhao Deyang smiled bitterly.

"Yes, it's only 2,000 kilometers," Xu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"I understand."

Zhao Deyang nodded with difficulty, looked at Xu Yuan who got up, and then asked, "Are you preparing to leave?" ”

"That's right, I'll be back in District 9 tomorrow, and I'll leave this matter to you."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Deyang said solemnly: "Don't worry, it's on me." ”

……

"I'm finally going home."

Standing on the steel deck of the Constraint, looking at the rising sun from the edge of this wasteland, Xu Yuan felt a little bit of excitement in his heart.

This was only two and a half months, and the expedition, which was originally planned to return in a month at most, was dragged out to September by various troublesome problems.

Of course, the harvest of the expedition was also very gratifying.

According to analysts at the Bank of Singapore, the expedition's contribution to the economic growth of the entire country is at least more than 5 million star dollars.

But at the moment, he didn't want to care about those gains and losses, he just wanted to quietly watch such a beautiful scenery.

"The weather is nice today,"

Xu Ruiwen walked behind her and gently brushed the wind-blown hair behind her ears, "There is no radioactive dust, only pure blue and white, which is the original color of the sky." ”

The rolling white clouds are like freshly picked cotton, rolling like waves, embracing each other like mountains, and the order that sails here is just like a flat boat.

Against the blue sky, beneath the steel airship were the ruins of ruined houses, broken highway bridges, tall buildings covered with green branches, and the sparse firelight......

"How much territory do we have?" Standing on the edge of the airship and looking down, Xu Yuan suddenly said loudly.

"From the new country to the Union of Ghana, the area under control is about 150,000 square kilometers." Xu Ruiwen said softly.

Because she often helps Shen Xi deal with government affairs, Xu Ruiwen still has a little hearing of these data.

New country checkpoints are already everywhere in Sector 8, and new country outposts have been established in parts of Sector 8 to supply passing caravans and provide shelter for survivors in the area under its jurisdiction.

On the contrary, it was Xu Yuan, the hand-off shopkeeper, who didn't even know how vast the territory he had laid down.

"Is that all?" Xu Yuan smacked his lips.

Hearing the greedy speech, Xu Ruiwen glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled:

"It's already pretty good, okay? Even if it is 150,000 square kilometers of land, the degree of development is less than 10,000 square kilometers, and most of them are inhabited by radiation beasts and zombies, and construction is far more difficult than invasion. ”

"That's really ......," Xu Yuan sighed.

Population is always the chain that restricts the development and growth of a new country, and even if it lays down a large territory, it will not help if there are not enough people to open it up.

But if he couldn't integrate the power of the two worlds, he really didn't have much chance of winning in the face of the invasion of visitors from outside the sky.

A hundred years means a lifetime for ordinary people and the whole world.

However, for the entire civilization, a hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

took out the thumb-sized glass bottle, and Xu Yuan pinched it on the tip of his finger to look at it.

The orange-red serum glowed strangely in the sunlight, a biocode that was enough for all the powerful to peep into, but like poison!

Walking behind Xu Yuan, Xu Ruiwen whispered in his ear.

"Brother, don't be too anxious."

"What's in a hurry?"

"Of course it's from your hometown."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan was stunned, then smiled suddenly, raised his hand and rubbed Xu Ruiwen's head.

"You're a roundworm in my stomach."

"You can't just touch a girl's head." Xu Ruiwen said with a smile, her hand lightly covered Xu Yuan's big hand, but she didn't remove the warmth.

"I'm sorry... By the way, you can't be considered a child anymore. Xu Yuan said with a smile.

“…… The sentence just now deducted 10 points. Xu Ruiwen reached out and pinched his waist in disgust, turned around and walked towards the airship.

Xu Yuan grinned and looked at her departing back, and then turned his gaze to the ground.

The translucent graphene mesh refracted like a rainbow in the midday sun, and groups of construction trucks scattered in the wasteland, together with thousands of workers, contributed to this project of the century.

There, the New Country Plantation.

The steel airship flew overhead, descended to altitude under the guidance of the navigation radar, and approached the airship harbor.

The soldiers and civilians in the camp gave these "steel beasts" who had returned from the expedition with reverent glances and enthusiastic cheers.

The reason why I chose to stop at Airship Harbor was mainly to show the people of the new country and the nomads who had passed here the strong force of the new country.

Military strength and a stable security environment are often the main criteria for the choice of settlements by wandering survivors.

Amid the cheers of civilians, Xu Yuan, wearing power armor, led more than 1,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force wearing mechanical exoskeletons to walk across the main road and walk towards the square in front of the parliament building in the inner ring.

The welcoming people in the middle of the road held flowers in their hands and threw the delicate petals.

The pitch-black polyethylene armor, bathed in flower petals and applause, all the soldiers straightened their backs with pride on their faces.

Under Xu Yuan's deliberate actions, the team walked very slowly.

These lads have been away from home for more than two months, and they have fought bloodily for the new country in a foreign land, and now they deserve the glory as a reward for that hard work.

Many enthusiastic singles not only presented bouquets of flowers, but also hugged the warriors.

It is human nature to worship heroes.

A cute little girl stopped in front of Xu Yuan, and while hugging the steel armor, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and offered him a fragrant kiss under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Xu Yuan didn't know if this was her first kiss, because the little girl buried her head in an instant and fled into the crowd like a shy deer.

Facing the cheers of the crowd around him, Xu Yuan only hesitated for half a second, then smiled heartily, raised the flowers in his hand, and beckoned to his people.
