Chapter 19: Balancing Strategies
According to the location Huang Mao said, Ling Chen came to the building where the awakened were taken, and the scene in front of him did not show the worst scene he imagined, almost everyone was unharmed, only a few people fell there on the side of the field, judging from the injuries on their bodies, they should have been injured by the ability.
Ling Chen came here by stealth, although the hall on the first floor where the awakened were located was fine, but when he came all the way, he saw a large number of soldiers with loaded guns, and there were more than a hundred people he saw along the way, and counting the other directions and hidden ambushes, I am afraid that there must be a battalion of troops.
What is this for?
If these soldiers suddenly attacked, it would be enough to bulldoze the awakened inside a dozen times, but they haven't done it yet, and it doesn't seem like they want to do it. Ling Chen thought about it for a while, and felt that it was too, such a frustrating decision, as long as the people above were not brain pumping, it should not be possible...... bar.
Taking advantage of the invisibility, Ling Chen searched above, this used to seem to be a restaurant, only three stories high, but now the tables inside have been withdrawn, leaving a large open space, except for the first floor where the awakened are fighting, there is no one on the second and third floors, so he simply hides on the second floor, waiting for the next development of things.
At the same time, in a small conference room next to the Great Hall, more than two dozen senior leaders of S City were holding an emergency meeting.
"This morning, there were a large number of awakened people collectively petitioning all over the country at the same time, including our S city. The above meaning has been conveyed and their request has been agreed, is it that in such a situation, the military still does not agree to withdraw troops? Mayor Zhou Qiang stared at several senior military officials opposite.
"The profession of our soldiers is to protect the safety of the people, and there is such a dangerous force lurking in S City, it is like a time bomb around you, and I am doing this for the sake of everyone's safety."
A regiment leader named Lu Kuang sat on the opposite side casually, as if he didn't see the pressure exerted by Mayor Zhou at all.
"You can't convict people for crimes that haven't been committed yet, a smart person like Commander Lu can't fail to understand this truth." A deputy mayor chimed in.
From their conversation, it could be heard that the political leaders seemed to be trying to keep the awakened safe, while the military wanted to eradicate them, and if Ling Chen saw this picture, he would be shocked, which was exactly the same as he expected in his heart. The picture in his imagination should be like this, the military and the government have a tacit understanding, they know each other's inner thoughts with one look, and then they want to do the awakened together, but they are afraid of the serious consequences of the matter, and finally have to make concessions......
At this time, the meeting had been held for a long time, and before the formal meeting, the six regiment commanders of the military seemed to have a meeting in advance, so they unified their voices, among which the regiment commander Lu Kuang's attitude was the most tough, and he also clearly expressed his opposition when several other regiment commanders stopped speaking at this time.
Lu Kuang and another regiment commander, Xu Fa, are from the same division headquarters, and Xu Fa is obedient to his words, so it can be said that he is currently the strongest force in the military of S City, and he also has this strong capital.
During the whole process, the division commander Li Huasheng didn't say a word, but the eyes that looked at his old subordinate Li Ming, the regiment leader, were full of disappointment, and Li Ming also turned his head to the side and didn't look at his former leader.
"Everything has to wait until it happens before it happens, and our country will always be bullied. Do you think someone else will make a move if they are not well prepared? Since you are willing to suffer your own losses, I will not stop you, and everyone will take a step back. Judging from the abilities of the awakened ones submitted in the morning, the only one who can infiltrate the building silently is this stealth ability, who is an extremely dangerous person and must be guarded immediately. ”
“……”
The government officials quickly deliberated for a moment, and then said: "Now is a society governed by the rule of law, and people cannot be arrested for no reason, and it is not good to spread the word...... And since the other party is an anomaly, the ability of stealth may not be able to be captured by the army. ”
"Since you agree, then the matter is settled. You're right, since the other party is a supernatural person, then let the supernatural person do it himself, they will always have a way to deal with their own kind. ”
The head of the regiment, Lu Kuang, got up from his seat as he spoke, walked outside, and said, "That's all for the meeting, let's all dismiss the meeting." ”
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a tiger roar came from the seat, it was the division commander Li Huasheng, everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the old man who had been silent, and even Lu Kuang had to stop under the rest of the power.
"In the future, without my orders, you are not allowed to move the army without authorization!"
Lu Kuang waved his hand back: "Okay, I know, I'll let you know later!" ”
Notifications, and just notifications......
Mayor Zhou Qiang looked at the division commander and walked out of the house in a somewhat decadent manner, and the others left in silence one by one, leaving only his secretary Xu Ming before sighing:
"Xiao Xu, how did you say that people's hearts have become so fast. It's only been a few days, and some people have jumped out to grab power, and they haven't thought about what they will do after we fight off the bugs. ”
Xu obviously looked around, and then said: "In peacetime, civil officials are in charge, and in troubled times, martial artists are in power, which is a historical necessity." And I'm afraid...... We don't have a chance to fight off the bugs, at least not for a short time. Maybe the people above knew this, but they just paralyzed themselves and didn't want to believe the facts. When in history, the side that launched the invasion was not the dominant side, not to mention that the other party was not a human at all, but a creature from another world, and if it was repelled by humans so quickly, wouldn't it become a joke? Even our own wars in the human world sometimes last for decades. ”
"You ......"
Zhou Qiang turned his head and pointed at the secretary, and put it down for a long time, "I hope we can see the day when we can see victory, these awakened people have performed well this time, and they have joined forces, and they have also shown us the way to balance the military." If the two can strike a balance...... ”
His hands were in the shape of a scale, up and down, and the light in his eyes gradually rose.
"Mayor, you are too worried, the appearance of careerists in the army is just an isolated phenomenon, isn't Division Commander Li loyal to the country? And Lu Kuang, they don't dare to tear their faces with us now, everything still has a chance. ”
"The person who claims to be a prophet on the Internet, I didn't expect to have such a big appeal, do you have any clues about him?" The mayor asked.
"No, he appears for a split second and can't be tracked. At least with our official capabilities, there is no way. Xu obviously said truthfully, thinking that if there is such a professional hacker for this kind of thing, maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
"If he can help us, I don't have to worry about coming to the military, continue to keep an eye on his movements, and at the same time send the police to collect cards."
……
Ling Chen hid at the corner of the stairs, and could only judge the situation of the competition by the voice below.
The process of the fight was not intense, it may have been warned that the awakened were killed by mistake before, and no one wanted to die here, so the competition also changed from a frontal PK between the two to a similar performance form of display ability.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to show their full strength, but it is still up to everyone to have a rough judgment on which ability is stronger, and the recognized strong will become the captain, and the controversial ones can be decided by discussion.
To Ling Chen's surprise, he actually heard Ye Yang, Liu Jing, and the people who protected him to get the card from the voice below, but thinking that the other party's school would eventually withdraw here, it was not surprising to meet them here.
But what surprised Ling Chen even more was that he actually heard Zhang Hong's voice from below! He had come in a hurry before, and he hadn't watched each of the Awakened Ones carefully, not wanting the other party to be in the crowd.
Didn't the other party faint after being beaten by me, how could he still awaken his ability?
He suddenly had an illusion of historical habituality, and carefully recalled the ability of the other party in the previous life in his mind - it was a fire-based ability, could it be said that the damage of ** had nothing to do with the awakening of the ability?
At this time, more than 90 awakened people have selected nine captains, and Ye Yang has also become one of them because of the super fast attack speed of the wind ability, and then the process of selecting team members, naturally each captain chooses his own acquaintances to form a new team.
"Each of you has been granted the status of a member of the National Special Operations Group, with the rank of head equivalent to that of the Municipal Police Chief. In a few moments, your ID card will be issued, and I hope that you will continue to work hard to serve your country and defend all mankind......"
The official representative announced loudly from the sidelines, which made everyone excited.
After all, they were only students before, and they suddenly gained the ability, and they couldn't accurately locate their position, because their bodies were too fragile to take a few bullets, which made them not very confident, and finally put their minds at ease at this time.
"Haha, that's great, the Special Operations Team can't be the legendary Dragon Team, right?"
"How is it possible, how could there be a supernatural ability ...... before"
“……”
Everyone laughed and celebrated with each other.
"So what's next?" One of the team leaders asked the official representative.
"Next up is a mission, capture the stealth Olisa! This is the first official mission, and I hope that the team leaders will complete it seriously and not let the criminals go. After the official finished speaking, he hurriedly walked outside, obviously knowing that something very dangerous was going to happen here, and he didn't dare to stay here.
"You make it clear." The officer hadn't taken a few steps before he was grabbed.
Ye Yang yelled at him: "Olisa will never do anything illegal, she has been with everyone these days, we can prove it to her." You officials don't have evidence, you can't just arrest people! ”
"Captain Ye is angry, you can tell the heads of the regiment these words, I really can't care about this." The official over there shook his hands again and again, but he couldn't shake off the arm he was holding.
At this moment, the other eight captains, along with all their team members, all looked at the masked woman in black who could be invisible, and their eyes flashed with excitement, as if they were looking at delicious food.
