Chapter 11: The Fatal Disease (Part 11).
The Imperial City is located at the far end of the capital, and behind it is the sea as far as the eye can see. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.. The villa when Ye Zifeng got up was on a small island just behind the imperial city, only a few hundred meters from the mainland. The Imperial City is a huge castle, Ye Zifeng doesn't know how he built it, but it looks like it should have taken decades. From the outside, it looks like a huge Gothic church, but the windows on it are not narrow gaps, but large floor-to-ceiling windows, which gradually rise from the outside to the inside, and he was originally built on a hill. In the middle is the cathedral in the Imperial City, the white tower can be seen in any corner of the Imperial City, it is a symbol of the empire.
The imperial city is divided into two layers, the outer city is the residential area of the nobles, but no nobles will really live there, they have territories and private armies, and it is impossible to live under the emperor's nose without scruples, unless it is those self-made nobles, who have been in the family for a shallow time, or are low-ranking lords and knights. The inner city is the territory of the imperial family, covering an area of only one-third of the outer city, but it is stationed in the most elite forbidden army of the entire empire, and the troops of a full 5,000 people are more than enough to guard the inner city with a wall of twelve meters, and the emperor's family also lives in the inner city. The inner city is the political core of the entire empire, the emperor and the cabinet live in the inner city, and the twelve cabinets are divided into twelve directions in the inner city, and each cabinet has the full strength to mobilize one-twelfth of the forbidden army, but only the emperor can mobilize the entire forbidden army. Then now this emperor is Ye Zifeng.
Beyond the imperial city is the capital, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians live on nearly 20,000 square kilometers of the battlefield. Ye Zifeng didn't know what was going on in the capital city now, but judging from the black smoke rising from afar, the war had not spread to the city now, but the soldiers receiving medical treatment in the inner city square made Ye Zifeng a little incomprehensible. However, Ye Zifeng's top priority now is to understand the current situation. Along the way, you could see many heavily armed soldiers of the Prairie Legion and the Town Legion running in the direction of the outer city, and no one stopped to salute Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng didn't have too many objections to this, and after turning a corner, Ye Zifeng came to his destination.
This is a forbidden place in the castle, and the forbidden level is only ranked after the Central Cathedral and the Royal Villa. No one was allowed to enter, except for the cabinet and ministers above the marquis. Even at such an urgent moment now, there were still two pale soldiers guarding the door, and they saw Ye Zifeng walking over quickly. Immediately, a soldier trotted with a spear in his hand to stop Ye Zifeng, and another soldier picked up the flintlock pistol in his hand, and it was obvious that a bullet had been loaded.
"Stop, military important places, idlers are not allowed to enter!" The soldier shouted loudly. At the same time, he turned the spear in his hand sideways, trying to block Ye Zifeng's way.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Zifeng didn't have time to argue with him, and immediately responded with a shout, "See who I am?" Mine is the Emperor! β
After Ye Zifeng finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, as if he was catering to Alice, didn't Alice just call herself the emperor. Shabu shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts in his heart, and Ye Zifeng's face returned to seriousness.
"What nonsense are you talking about." The soldier was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Zifeng's shout, and then showed an angry expression, "My Majesty the King is seriously injured now, where did you come from?" How dare you pretend to be my king! β
"Injuries won't get better?" Ye Zifeng pursed his lips, "You should let me get out of the way, delay military affairs, and I'll behead you!" β
Ye Zifeng said threateningly, but he also felt that he had no confidence. What happens when you get hurt? If you really want to connect it, it should be a guy named Yuji Yamamoto who injected himself with amnesia caused by intermittent nerve atresia caused by KS drugs, but because he was in a dream at the time, the effect did not affect reality, and even the dream was not affected, and now Ye Zifeng can still maintain the coherence of memories in the dream. He knew that the last time he saw a statue of a dragon in the orc camp on the other side of the Moss River, he fainted. Ye Zifeng didn't feel that his fainting had anything to do with the sculpture, but it just happened to be at that point in time. Yuji Yamamoto injected himself with KS potion, and the auxiliary ingredient in the potion, he just returned to deep sleep.
The soldier did not flinch because of Ye Zifeng's threat, but took a step forward, the spear he was originally holding in his hand was held at his waist, and the tip of the spear was pointed directly at Ye Zifeng. The soldier with a flintlock pistol behind the guard instead put the butt of the rifle against his shoulder and aimed at Ye Zifeng.
"What are you doing? Idiot! An angry roar came from behind Ye Zifeng when the two were at a stalemate, Ye Zifeng and the guards were stunned at the same time, Ye Zifeng turned his head to look behind him, and Pendes, who had changed into a battle line armor, strode towards this side at the entrance to the council hall.
The guards, too, saw Pendes, and immediately stepped back, holding the spear in his hand to his side, and standing up straight.
"General." The guard shouted. The guards at the door lowered their flintlock pistols and stood up straight as well.
"Get out of the way." Pendes didn't say much to reprimand the guard, as if he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the guards were doing. Ye Zifeng frowned, but didn't say anything, and followed Penders through the long corridor leading to the council hall, Penders pushed open the door and let Ye Zifeng walk in first.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not the right time for you to wake up." Pendes's expression was a little gloomy, and the words he said stopped in Ye Zifeng's ears like stagnant water.
No, Ye Zifeng didn't blame Pendes, walked to the conference table and leaned on the table, looking at Pendes, the expression on his face was as serious as Pendes.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"It's serious, Your Majesty." With a blink, Pendes strode around the conference table and walked over to the bow behind the top leader, and lifted the curtain that covered the map, revealing the entire map of the empire painted on the wall.
"It's a conspiracy, a conspiracy under the cover of war." Penders picked up the long wooden stick next to him and swung it vigorously on the map on the wall. Turning his arm, one end of the stick swapped out a large circle on the map, enveloping the entire empire except for the imperial capital. Ye Zifeng's face sank when he saw Pendes's action. Penders then continued, "This is a shameless sneak attack, in which the barbarians beyond the Allah Pass have colluded with the forsaken race to instigate the race to war against us, while they themselves are following the race and encroaching on our land." The empire is now in danger, Your Majesty. β
Pendes' voice trembled a little as he spoke, and the seriousness he had had been a faΓ§ade. In fact, there is already a mess in his heart, even if he is the Minister of War, Pendes has nothing to do now, and there are very few soldiers in his hands. And the race has already come to the city, and Pendes has already prepared the consciousness of destroying the country before Ye Zifeng wakes up.
"Now that the walls are still intact, it is impossible for the race to storm the city for a while, we have plenty of ammunition, but there are obviously not enough soldiers. A corner watchtower in the eastern part of the city has been destroyed. However, the temporary defense line is still able to hold and is now being repaired with all its might. β
Penders took the stick and tried to tap the watchtower in the east of the city, but with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the stick was deflected.
Ye Zifeng listened carefully to Pendes's words and couldn't help but think for a while.
"How many combat troops do we have?"
Ye Zifeng opened his mouth and asked, knowing oneself is the first priority in combat, and it is impossible to defeat the enemy without a clear understanding of oneself.
"Counting the fifteen thousand people of the forbidden army, and now scattered on the outer walls of the imperial capital, we are considering whether to withdraw to the imperial city for defense."
"There must be no withdrawal." Ye Zifeng got up and shook his head. "I still understand the truth that once the withdrawal is slow, we will be dragged into street fighting. The outer walls must be defended. Ye Zifeng walked to Pendes's side and said sternly, "My injuries have not healed, and I may faint after a while, but I will give you advice when I am awake, and you must carefully consider it before commanding." β
Penders looked at Ye Zifeng with some concern, but still nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Penders knelt on one knee facing Ye Zifeng. Pose like a general leading the order.
"Are there any ships left in our harbor? Any boat will do. β
"There will be five hundred and eight ships in total, plus cargo merchant ships and barges, a total of more than two thousand." Pendes looked up at Ye Zifeng with some confusion, "But the battle took place on the edge of the imperial capital. Even the longest-range cannon could not bombard the outer walls. β
"No need to attack." Ye Zifeng shook his head, then sighed, "Let's retreat." β
Then he picked up the stick and pointed to the faint outline at the edge of the map.
"This is supposed to be a place for navigators to explore, transporting the city's inhabitants in batches, telling civilians that they are only allowed to carry three kilograms of goods per person. How long will it take to complete this? β
"......" Penders looked at Ye Zifeng with complicated eyes. However, I still made a brief calculation in my heart.
"If it takes an hour to transport 5,000 people in each batch, it will take about a day."
"Then we'll stick to it for a day!" Ye Zifeng slammed the map on the wall with a wooden stick, "Inform the nobles to send out the private army in the city, collect as much as you want, and send them all to the city wall for defense, all sections of the city wall are commanded by the nobles, and there is a nobleman who dares to withdraw and wants to get on the boat before the commoners, all of them are thrown into the sea for me to feed the fish!" β
When Ye Zifeng was unconscious, an aura emanated from his body, and Pendes lowered his head deeply after listening to Ye Zifeng's words, sweat dripping from his forehead. At this time, Ye Zifeng is like a king, with infinite charm, which makes people subconsciously want to surrender to it.
"If there is an airship, let the airship take off immediately and send the airborne troops to the various walls that need support. Use cannons to cover the racial units outside the city, shoot as far as you can, and shoot wherever it is important. In addition, all men in the prime of life between the ages of 25 and 40, who have no physical or mental disability and have a certain degree of physical training, were conscripted into the army, and immediately armed and sent to the city walls. I don't know how many people will die in this battle, but I do think that even if all the soldiers die, it will be worth it to keep the fire of this empire alive. Ten warships were assigned to each batch to transport scientists from the Imperial Academy of Sciences. β
Ye Zifeng thought about what else he had missed, and nodded.
"That's all, let's do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Pendes bowed his head to Ye Zifeng and then quickly got up and ran out of the council room.
Ye Zifeng looked at Pendes's back and sighed.
"There's only so much I can do, and if I succeed or not, I'll have to leave it to fate."
Ye Zifeng pulled out a chair - that was the first place reserved for Ye Zifeng - and sat down, looking at the map in front of him, his eyes were full of endless emotion.
It didn't take more than half an hour. All the orders given by Ye Zifeng were conveyed, because there was no way out, the nobles did not all flee, and the hawkish nobles had even led their private troops to rush to the front line. After the emperor's order was issued, the imperial capital began to boil, first the temporary troops were recruited, and even some women in the prime of the city were scattered in the armory offices throughout the imperial capital to receive equipment and prepare for battle, while the remaining old people and children took their belongings and lined up in a long line towards the ten harbors on the left and right sides of the imperial city. All the ships were called up, but the rest of the ships, except for the navy, were not guarded by military personnel, and a single call order mobilized the shipowners to begin receiving refugees after the ships had enough food and fresh water. Forty minutes after the order was given, the first fleet had set sail, and on the city walls, the 10,000 soldiers of the garrison regiment braved the arrows that fell from the sky. Wielding the sword and spear in his hand, he kept tearing apart the corpses of the orcs who climbed the wall.
Everyone is in a race against time, and no one is idle. This can't help but remind Ye Zifeng of the Dunkirk evacuation in World War II.
A shadow suddenly flashed through the dark passageway, and with a click, a can of iced coffee appeared in the vending machine's pick-up slot. A slightly disheveled researcher bent down tiredly, pulled open the clear plastic lid in his mouth, and pulled out the canned iced coffee, then stretched wide. Instead of rushing to pull the tab, he looked at the bottom of the coffee can.
"Damn it." He cursed indignantly, "I didn't win the lottery again." β
Two clubs, a spade and a heart were printed at the bottom of the cafΓ©, and he almost won the lottery. Although there are no great prizes. But when you go back to the dormitory to show off, you will still be impressed by your roommates.
Rubbing the back of his aching neck, the researcher turned to think about the dormitory. But as soon as he turned around, a pair of hands grabbed his face hard. The researcher's eyes widened, and his right hand holding the coffee loosened. The coffee can fell to the ground. There was darkness in front of him, followed by a flash of silver light, and the researcher felt a chill on his neck, and then blood sprayed like tap water from a water pipe. Grabbing his hand and letting go, the researcher quickly stepped back and slammed into the vending machine behind him. He wanted to scream. Someone was called to save him, but he suddenly found that the air squeezed out of his lungs had leaked before he could vibrate his vocal cords. The researcher's eyes revealed a deep despair, and he desperately smeared his hands on his neck to stop the bleeding from the ruptured wound, but the excessive blood loss made his eyes darker and darker, and eventually, the researcher's hands slowly drooped, and his wide eyes were completely white, obviously showing signs of loss of life.
Blood turned the ground in front of the vending machine red, and the black man looked down at the researchers on the ground, his eyes fanning up with a cold light. Then, the man in black turned to leave.
"The C-171 passage is cleared, the barricades are gone, and the advance continues." A green light suddenly lit up in the dark passage, like a ghost fire, and then the sound of leather boots hitting the ground sounded, and a large number of armed men rushed out of the passage, the automatic rifles in their hands flashed with hideous light, and the heavy body armor on the body was full of spare magazines, and the night vision device hung on the helmet had been activated, and the green light was emitted from the night vision device.
Armed invasion, an unknown armed force invading a research institute in the research area, is the only information that is known so far.
The black man strode forward, the dagger in his hand glittering with cold light, and he shook the dagger, brushing the blood stains on it.
Taking another step forward, an incomprehensible infrared ray was cut off by the leather boots for 0.01 seconds, and in the next moment, the entire research institute showed that it was alive, and the piercing alarm buzzed throughout the research institute, and the lights in all the rooms turned on at the same time, the automatic defense system was turned on, and the entire research institute instantly entered a state of A-level alert.
The black man in black looked up and around as he drew the pistol at his waist. It was quiet, but he was still standing there, his eyes slightly closed and listening carefully, when suddenly, a faint sound of mechanical transmission came into his ears, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked diagonally towards the ceiling in the passage, and his right arm, which was holding the pistol, quickly raised and flicked, and pulled the trigger at the same time. A bullet out of the chamber. At that moment, the ceiling she was staring at suddenly cracked, and an automatic six-barreled machine gun descended from the ceiling and sped towards the black man. Without waiting for the automatic machine gun to fire, the bullet from the pistol in the black man's hand penetrated through the muzzle of the automatic machine gun. The machine gun inside is shattered, and the metal parts inside the machine gun made by stamping are vulnerable to high-powered pistol bullets. The black man followed and pulled the trigger, and another shot shattered the mechanical arm connected to the automatic machine gun, and the machine gun, which had lost its effect, fell to the ground with a click, and the automatic machine gun, which had already lost its tightness, fell into a pile of parts the moment it hit the ground.
The black man withdrew his raised right hand with a blank expression. I didn't even look at the automatic machine gun that I had killed, but I still strode forward, stepping over the top of the machine gun, as if I had a target, thinking of a direction and moving forward.
"What's going on?" Genji Toyama quickly got up and looked at the passage with a flashing red light, and couldn't help but get a little nervous, this was a team of heavily armed guards rushing past the door of the laboratory, leaving the sound of footsteps gradually moving away. Genji Toyama walked away from the lab quickly, looking in the direction the guard had left. However, a corner blocked his view, and the whole institute screamed, thinking that an intruder had invaded the institute.
"Director Toyama!" It was a shout coming from the other end of the passage, and Toyama Genji quickly turned his head to look back, and a young researcher in a white robe ran towards Toyama Genji, who didn't stand still for a moment and almost hit Toyama Genji.
"What are you panicking about! What's the deal with holding a rifle? Toyama looked at the researcher leaning against the wall and couldn't help but say angrily.
"This is something that every researcher has to receive, and as soon as it was discovered that a researcher had been killed, the institute's alarm was sounded. Now the entire research institute has entered a state of A-level alert. The director ordered all the researchers to immediately put down their research work and stay in the research room and not go out. As he spoke, the researcher handed a rifle to Toyama and loaded the rifle in his hand.
Every researcher here has simple shooting training. Although they are all fixed targets of 25 meters, in a narrow passage, such training is sufficient.
"And what's the matter with you?" Genji Toyama took the rifle and did not rush to load the bullet, but pulled the researcher by the shoulders and pulled the researcher closer to the A13 research room behind him. After the two entered, the automatic door closed. Genji Toyama was not at ease with the single-sided glass door, but now there were more effective defenses. Ye Zifeng has been in a coma for two and a half hours, and as long as he insists on holding on for half an hour, he can leave by helicopter.
"I came here because I was worried about the director's safety." The young researcher lowered his head in embarrassment and scratched the back of his head, but Genji Toyama glared at him angrily.
"You stupid boy, what if you run into an enemy, do you think you can beat the enemy who is still active with your three-legged cat shooting skills?" Toyama Genji looked at the wall clock in the laboratory, the time shown on it was 5:20 p.m., Toyama Genji deliberately wrote down the time, a total of two minutes and fifty seconds have passed since the alarm sounded, and the intruder who can hold on to two minutes and fifty seconds in the A-level alert state of the institute is definitely not something that these researchers can deal with. Holding a rifle in his hand is just a psychological comfort, and Toyama Genji knows that even if tens of thousands of bullets are fired, it will not necessarily hurt the intruder, no, it will definitely not hurt the intruder.
Genji Toyama put the rifle on the sofa in the room, and the young researcher sat down and took aim with the rifle in his hand, while Genji Toyama did it in the triangular chair.
"Hey, don't mess with the gun, turn off the safe, and we'll be all done with the fire." Genji Toyama said, pointing at the researcher. The researcher snorted, skillfully flipped the safety, and with a click, the rifle's trigger locked.
"Director, what do we do now?" The researcher asked, setting the rifle aside.
"What else can I do, wait, the test is not done yet." Toyama Genji stared at the control panel on the side, showing stable data on it, the blue light point is cooling down the red area, Toyama Genji can even see from the outside, the scar on Ye Zifeng's waist is like a tree root coiled like a small snake for you to buy, the muscles inside grow wildly, and the coiled scar gradually disappears.
Genji Toyama breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the initial production of the potion was successful, and the next step was to improve the potion, he needed an elixir that could accurately locate and deliver the target even in the case of an injured person's irregular heartbeat. It sounds a bit like a biomissile, but Toyama Envisioned It. At a very low cost, it is possible to make an effective treatment that completely surpasses that of biological missiles, although he said that the envisaged means can only treat trauma.
Time ticked by and the room was filled with nothing but ticking device indicators and a constantly turning wall clock. Another twenty minutes passed. There are still ten minutes left before the end of the test, and the internal wound on Ye Zifeng's waist has healed, and all that remains is to restore his appearance.
But at this moment, a dense burst of gunfire came, and bullets whizzed through the passage. The clanging sound of a ricocheting projectile against a metal wall immediately alerted the two men in the lab. The young researcher grabbed the rifle next to him and threw it to Genji Toyama, while he picked up the loaded rifle and unlocked the trigger. Toyama grabbed the heat pipe of the rifle, pulled the bolt quickly, and with a click, a bullet was loaded. Genji Toyama hurried to the door and leaned against the wall next to the glass door.
The gunfire became sparse, and it appeared that there were casualties on both sides, when suddenly a vibration was heard. The loud boom really hurt Toyama Genji's eardrums, and a black figure slammed into the glass door, scattering glass shards all over the ground. Toyama Genji subconsciously hugged his head and looked out from the gap, a guard who had been shot and killed had several metal shards stuck in his chest, fell to the ground on his back, blood soaked in black body armor, and the rifle in his hand slipped to the ground.
Toyama Genji's heart tightened, and he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation, but he didn't wait for him to stop it. The young researcher, crouched behind the recliner, immediately stood up, picked up the rifle in his hand, and swept towards the door. A clanging sound came from behind Genji Toyama, and an intruder who didn't have time to dodge was immediately knocked to the ground, but the counterattack that followed was extremely accurate. A gunshot rang out, and the researcher's shooting immediately stopped, and a bloody hole appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and the researcher's eyes widened, and his body went limp.
There was a clattering sound, not the sound of the rubber soles of leather boots on the ground. Genji Toyama held his breath. Took a deep breath. The Adam's apple floated up and down, and a grunt came from Toyama Genji's throat.
The black man walked in through the broken glass door of the research room, and with a cold expression on his face, the light flashed, and the black man quickly found Toyama Genji hiding behind the door.
"Mr. Genji Toyama?" The black man asked suddenly. Toyama Genji took a step back, his eyes staring at the black man, this black man brought a very strong sense of oppression to himself, Toyama Genji clearly knew that he would never be able to beat him.
"That's right, that's me." Toyama Genji forcibly suppressed the tremor in his heart and tried to pretend to be calm.
"The mission says you're an important person and don't need to be killed, so when my mission is over, please come with me, okay?" The black man asked, still without a hint of emotion. Toyama Genji's breathing became heavy, it was obviously the equatorial July, but Toyama Genji felt that this laboratory was like an ice cellar at minus 25 degrees Celsius. Genji Toyama shuddered.
"Why, I'm going with you?" Genji Toyama asked this sentence with difficulty, and he felt that he should not question him. Sure enough, the next moment when Toyama Genji asked this sentence, the black man quickly raised the pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was fixed on the bridge of Toyama Genji's nose, and Toyama Genji's eyes widened.
"You only have two choices, one is to follow me, and the other is that I will take your body away." The black man said in a colder voice, "Choose one of your own." β
"What if I don't choose either?" Toyama Genji didn't know why, and for a moment, the fear in his heart dissipated invisibly, and he lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his face. The black man frowned and took a wary step back. The guards at the door were all on standby at the entrance of the passage because they were not allowed to enter the laboratory because they were ordered by the blacks, and no one noticed the anomalies in the laboratory. Taking advantage of the moment when Kazuto turned his head to look in the direction of the door, Toyama Genji shook his hand and threw out the rifle in his palm. The black man gritted his teeth and quickly pulled the trigger towards Toyama Genji, and a bullet pierced Toyama's left shoulder. Genji Toyama screamed and fell backwards, smashing the bonsai in the corner.
Then the black man quickly turned around and looked in the direction where Toyama Genji threw out the rifle, but as soon as he turned his face, the muzzle of a black hole covered his right eye, and the muzzle of the gun hit his black super, and the black man subconsciously took a step back.
"I'll give you two options. One is one step back, after which I shoot, and the other is two steps back, after which I shoot. A voice came from the other end of the gun. The black man suddenly felt that he had to make a choice for this option, and the third option was none.
"If you don't choose, I'll choose it for you." The voice came again, sounding extremely young. The black man saw a slightly pale face with his left eye.
"I'll choose ......," the young man smiled grimly, "Three." β
This was the last sound the black man heard, the young man quickly pulled the trigger, the fire only flashed in the black man's eyes for a moment, and the next second, the black man lost consciousness. The bullet pierced his brain, shattering the negro's soft brain tissue, squirting blood clots from the back of the negro's head, and the shattered black supersound fell off the negro's face. His left eye widened in disbelief. Then there was a thud, and the black man fell to the ground on his back, his body convulsing twice before he stopped moving.
"As soon as you wake up, you are so violent, it seems that I will stay away from you in the future." Toyama Genji struggled to get up from the ground, leaning against the wall, his face pale, but still showing a smile, "Welcome back, Ye Zifeng." You're a big boy. β
"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Zifeng nodded, "What's the situation now?" β
"Someone has hacked into the institute, and it looks like you're the target." Genji Toyama covered his wound to prevent the blood from flowing out, and staggered to Ye Zifeng's side. He took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Ye Zifeng's hand.
"The helicopter must not be able to fly, drive my car, the second-floor underground parking lot, there is an automatic security system that is open 24 hours a day, and it will not choose where to invade."
"What about you?" Ye Zifeng looked at Toyama Genji with some concern.
"You don't have to worry about me, there are enough guards in the institute. They will protect me. Toyama Genji lowered his head and waved his hand, motioning for Ye Zifeng to leave, "Remember to help me bring peace, you should know who to say." β
"I see." Ye Zifeng no longer hesitated, nodded and got up quickly, but after thinking about it, he handed the rifle in his hand to Toyama Genji, "You can use this for self-defense, I don't need it." β
Ye Zifeng bent down and picked up the pistol that the black man on the side was searching for, withdrew the magazine and looked at the number of bullets left in it, then pushed the magazine back into the grip and left the laboratory quickly.
However, the two intruders discovered Ye Zifeng's figure the moment Ye Zifeng left. Quickly raised the rifle in his hand and fired at Ye Zifeng, the small passage did not have much room to dodge, but Ye Zifeng had his own methods. With one foot on the ground, his right leg was violently forced, and the reaction force bounced Ye Zifeng high, and Ye Zifeng crossed the bullet. The two intruders reacted immediately, raising the rifles in their hands to chase Ye Zifeng and shoot. With his left foot on the wall, he pushed his body to the left, Ye Zifeng pulled the trigger at the two intruders while falling in the air, and the two intruders hit the target with two bullets in a row, and the two intruders fell backwards. But the gunfire drew more intruders into. Ye Zifeng did not stop, and after landing, he quickly took a step forward and rolled, and at the same time pulled down the flashbangs pinned to the chests of the two dead intruders, and the safety bounced off, Ye Zifeng threw the flashbangs out with a flick of his hand, and he was lying on the ground with his head in his arms, and a burst of white light flashed. Such low-light flashbangs are not enough to temporarily blind the enemy, but the intruders used are all carrying night vision devices, which is tantamount to enhancing the effect of the flashbangs, all night vision devices are short-circuited because they can't withstand the high-voltage current, and for a while, all the intruders are caught in a situation of temporary blinding and the failure of auxiliary tools. Ye Zifeng naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so he quickly picked up the two rifles on both sides of his body, and swept them towards the intruders, the ballistic trajectory was dense like locusts, covering all the intruders, and the intruders were like wheat that had been cut, and they were swept by the rifles when they were blinded and did not reply, and within a few seconds, all the intruders were shot and fell to the ground. Ye Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, threw aside the two rifles with white smoke emitting from the muzzle of the magazine punch hole in his hand, and picked up a rifle from the ground as he walked forward.
"Most of our time we are bound by the theory of the 'existence fleet', and our thinking is conservative and old, without a trace of innovation." A man dressed in the white uniform of the Admiralty fleet stood on the podium gathered in the hall and kept yelling into the microphone, as if to emphasize something, "But in the final analysis, it is the extreme lack of self-confidence that has led us to the current field. We can only cower here, because of the wrong decisions made by the previous senior staff. β
"But may I ask, is it also a mistake that we have survived so far?" Another fleet officer asked. As soon as the question came out, all the participants in the room began to talk.
"Quiet and quiet!" Standing on the podium, the top of the fleet shouted, "I can't deny the merits of the previous high-level decisions that made us live without the control of the pilgrims, but have you ever wondered what we are here? It's a beast raised in the back garden of the pilgrims! It's not that they don't have the ability to slaughter us, it's that they feel too troublesome to do so, and they just don't bother to do it. β
"And what do you mean?" Someone else asked.
"We need to change our strategy, our fleet is not an ornament, it is not a vase where the presence is greater than the reality, and we should not make pilgrims think that the existence of the 'Ice Sea' fleet is nothing more than a plaque, with or without any real difference." The man on the rostrum was a little excited, and his voice became louder and louder, "We have to take the initiative." Let the pilgrims realize that we are capable of fighting them. The latest batch of five Pterosus II destroyers has been completed and is fully capable of confronting the pilgrims. β
"You will only anger the pilgrims and make them no longer too lazy to come and slaughter us brutes." A gloomy voice rang out from the back of the room, and all the participants looked at each other at the same time. Feng Fengxiang stood at the door of the conference hall and looked at the man on the rostrum, "Your rank is the highest here, but this does not mean that you have the power to act arbitrarily, the meaning of the existence of a leader is not to satisfy one's own selfish interests but to think about everyone." β
"But Mr. Feng ......," the man immediately retorted, "our reserves of resources are nearly depleted, and our morale is declining. Only one win can lift everyone back together. β
"That's just your subjective opinion, and it doesn't speak for all of us." Feng Fengxiang walked forward, and at the same time turned his head to look at the captains' seating area on the side.
"How's it going, ladies and gentlemen. Now is the time for democracy, and it is up to you to decide which side to choose which side to support. β
"I chose not to participate." Ye Shi immediately raised his hand to say, "The 'Bloody Hand Crown' is in the 'Saint. Thomas' shipyard for refitting. β
"I chose not to participate." Another captain raised his hand, and it was clear from the badge on his chest that this was the captain of the destroyer "Flat Top".
Two captains in a row immediately rejected their opinions. It made the man's expression distort slightly.
"I don't do anything." A shrug of the captain of the frigate I-012 "Gettysburg".
"Abstain." He was the captain of the frigate I-008 "Golden Fleece".
"I'll participate." He was the captain of the frigate I-006 "Morocco".
"I'll see." He was the captain of the frigate I-009 "Wraith".
"I'll participate." She was the captain of the frigate I-010 "Lucky".
The three captains in a row chose to join, which made a smile appear on the man's face, and a provocative light appeared in his eyes when he looked at Feng Fengxiang.
"I don't participate." Ning Jiayi, the captain of the destroyer I-002 "Rose", spoke in a deep voice.
"I do the same, and at the same time represent his opinion." The captain of I-005 "Atlantis" opened his mouth and pointed to the captain of the frigate I-011 "Orion" sitting next to him.
"I abstain." The captain of the frigate I-007 "Dominia" raised his hand and said.
The situation was reversed in an instant, and now it was 5:3, except for the three captains who abstained, there was only one captain left who did not vote, because the number of captains was even, so the captain of I-001 had two votes, and the five newly built ships did not even have a crew, let alone a captain, so now everyone's eyes in the room were focused on one person.
The white Admiralty fleet uniform on his body was propped up by the bulging muscles below, his hands rested on the grip of a long knife, and the military hat on his head was pressed so low that it was impossible to see his expression.
"What do you think?" The man asked anxiously, but his voice was still respectful, once the captain chose to support him, the decision was in the hands of the supreme commander in the case of a tie, even if it was the fleet commander Ye Shi, he had to obediently obey his orders, not to mention, Ye Shi had damaged the "Bloody Hand Crown" and was now suspended.
"Hmm......" The captain let out a generated sound, and then slowly raised his head, a hideous scar directly plowed through his right eye, but the hideous light of the swollen and flickering refining eye still made those who saw it shudder.
"I abstain." So said the captain of the cruiser I-001 "Throne".
"In that case, the end is decided. Mr. Minister, please leave the rostrum. β
The man's eyes were full of resentment, and he looked at Feng Fengxiang as if he was going to tear him apart. But in the end, the man sighed, stepped down from the podium, and left the conference hall directly.
"Alright, let's stop the meeting." Feng Fengxiang clapped his hands, "I hope no one will mention this matter again in the future, and there is ......"
Feng Fengxiang looked at the three captains who had just voted in favor.
"I hope that in the future, everyone will not be estranged because of this incident, it is good to have courage, but it is really unacceptable to isolate yourself because of courage."
The three captains nodded after hearing this.
Feng Fengxiang's expression is very clear: If you dare to join him again, then I will take back the captain's position, and at the same time make corresponding punishments.
Everyone in the fleet left the conference hall one after another, and Feng Fengxiang also sighed and turned around to leave.
"Please wait, Mr. Feng." Ye Shi hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Feng Fengxiang.
"What's the matter?" Feng Fengxiang stood and turned his head to look at Ye Shi.
"I want to know, how is my brother now?" It also seemed a little hesitant, but he still asked what was in his heart.
"It's going well, and in two days' time, the operation will begin, and they will start after the expiration of the temporary residence permit, so that it will not be detected by satellites."
"That's fine." He also breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Then let's do it first, goodbye Mr. Feng." β
"Goodbye." Feng Fengxiang nodded with a smile and watched Ye Shi leave.
"Is it really good to lie to her like this?" The generated figure sounded from behind Feng Fengxiang, and he didn't need to look back to know who said it.
"Harold, you should know, I can't distract him, even if the minister is too radical, but the situation is indeed very clear, our supplies are indeed insufficient, if she knows the real situation now, I am afraid that she will leave the fleet and go to the ground by herself."
"Then it's none of my business." Captain Harold walked past Feng Fengxiang, "It's good that you can decide this matter yourself, it's useless for me to say more." β
Feng Fengxiang watched Captain Harold leave the conference hall, and Feng Fengxiang was the only one left in this huge conference hall.
"Do you decide for yourself, I hope Ye Zifeng's success is all I can do."
Feng Fengxiang's muttering didn't spread far before it dissipated into the air.
