Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Four: Powder Keg!
Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Four: Powder Keg!!
As the saying goes: one person counts short, two people count long!!
Stop......
That night, after Zhang Hui's analysis, Xia Jian really sorted out that during this time, many things that bothered him were intricate and intricate, making people confused......
It was also on this night that Xia Jian finally recalled something......
Something that was almost forgotten in the depths of his memory by himself!!
I want to ......
When Xia Jian broke into the inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan by chance, he inadvertently obtained the inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan......
Belch!!
To be precise, it's not just about inheritance!!
Instead, it should be said that this guy Xia Jian has served all the inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan in one pot!!
And this inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan, under normal circumstances, will have a similar effect of spiritual hypnosis and suggestion, so that everyone who successfully accepts the inheritance of the Jiaoyang clan will be assimilated by the divine thought in the inheritance, and become the kind of puppet who maintains his personal thoughts on the surface and does not see any problems, but in fact, he has completely become the puppet of the most loyal defender of the interests of the Jiaoyang clan!
However, because of Xia Jian's own particularity and Xia Jian's own alertness, in the process of inheritance, he discovered this divine thought in advance and successfully resisted this assimilation process......
Not only that, but when Xia Jian himself broke free from this divine thought, he even helped Shi Huan!!
And this, except for Xia Jian and Shi Huan. And no one else knows!!
In a nutshell......
In the eyes of the people of the Jiaoyang clan, Xia Jian and Shi Huan are not outsiders at all!!
In today's situation, this. For Xia Jian, it is an extremely huge advantage......
…………
After recalling this incident, Xia Jian suddenly understood why the attitude of the Traceless to himself today was so strange......
You must know that this traceless has always been the leader of the Sun Clan. It can be said that it is the highest force of the Jiaoyang clan, but now, there is such a freak as Xia Jian!!
A man who is no longer under his rule. He actually has the strength to almost compete with him! And he is extremely trusted by the high priest (among the Sun clan, only a very few people know all kinds of secrets in the inheritance process!) And among these people, there is no such thing as the Great Commander of Traceless! ）
(Think about it too.) Normally. I believe that no one will be willing to be manipulated in their own brains!! I believe that there is no trace, if you know this secret of the inheritance of the Sun clan that day, whether you will accept the inheritance is not certain!! ）
Belch! Continuing with the topic above......
With Xia Jian, a special existence that is deeply trusted by the high priest, this makes Traceless, who is almost alone in the Jiaoyang clan. How can a great ruler above ten thousand people be happy......
Meantime......
Xia Jian also suddenly understood. Why did that high priest, since he wanted to win himself over, but he simply passed a few messages to himself, and he was not afraid that he would not cooperate at all!!
Because the high priest thought that he would not do anything to damage the Sun clan at all......
Xia Jian sometimes even thinks that the high priest is very likely to have delivered the news to more than just himself! You must know that in addition to himself, who successfully received the inheritance in the land of inheritance that day, there was also Shi Huan, who is now in the military and has a heavy army!!
With himself and Shi Huan, with such two dark piles, it's no wonder that the high priest is so confident!!
There is one more thing that proves this......
I think that in the underground fortifications of the southeast military base, when Qin Xiaotian said that he wanted to target himself, that terrifying woman didn't just say that she was a pawn planted in advance by their allies!!
Now think about it carefully......
It's not because that woman knows this too!!
However, it was also from this woman's words that Xia Jian heard that the alliance between the Jiaoyang clan and these "judges" should not be so close!!
Otherwise......
I won't say the sentence "I can't touch his ...... yet"!!
…………
Xia Jian actually doesn't have many advantages......
In addition to knowing people and making good use of them, not having a strong desire for power, and not taking power, what has always been the most talked about by those core people in Pangu City and Nuwa City is that when encountering problems, Xia Jian is an extremely calm and decisive person......
For example, when it comes to escalation......
In the face of the fact that if you continue to rise like this, you will not be able to break through the bottleneck of the imperial level when you know that there is no hope of promotion......
Xia Jian decisively gave up and continued to upgrade!!
Instead, he put most of his experience into improving various skill levels!!
But......
When Xia Jian obtained a copy of the energy stock solution from his sister-in-law with a mysterious identity, which provided great help to break through the bottleneck of the imperial level......
Xia Jian, who had a chance to advance to the emperor level, immediately changed his practice of giving up leveling some time ago and concentrating on improving various skill levels, and once again devoted himself to the crazy cause of leveling......
Even if Xia Jianming knew that the chance of using the energy stock solution to advance was actually very slim!
Even now, there has not been a single case of complete success!
Even if Xia Jianming knew that after using the energy stock solution, the probability of death was extremely high, if he really used it, he would most likely die......
But even so, although Xia Jian didn't say it explicitly......
But in the depths of his subconscious, he had actually made the decision to use the energy essence!!
This is because ......
Xia Jian has deeply realized that in the end-of-life environment, where strength is respected, he must improve his strength as quickly as possible and as much as possible......
Moreover!! Xia Jian has never been proud of his current achievements!!
On the contrary, because of the inheritance of the profession. Whenever compared to some other king-level powerhouses, Xia Jian always felt ashamed in his heart......
And in essence, Xia Jian is a person with strong self-esteem! I never want to be compared to others......
And that's what happened. In terms of strength, Xia Jian has never relaxed!!
Xia Jian is such a person......
I'm scared of death though!! But in his bloodline factor, there is actually no lack of gambling!! Especially when he has identified something......
And that's the same now......
Since the problems that have been bothering me have gradually become clearer, I understand that I have no way back and must choose a side......
Xia Jian almost didn't think about it, and he had already made his own decision!! And this decision. It will not be easily changed by the will of others!!
…………
Early the next morning......
The morning light is faintly bright, in the whole ancient city. Before I could wake up from my slumber......
Xia Jian and Zhang Hui have already gone one after the other. Arrived at the Pangu City Command Center!!
Five minutes later......
A command. At the fastest speed, it reached the ears of every core high-level person located in Pangu City and Nuwa City......
Suddenly......
In the eyes of those ordinary survivors who were originally in the city, they were high above and rarely appeared in the city, and the strong people and core management that everyone rarely saw on weekdays came out from all corners of the two cities......
At breakneck speed. Gather at the Pangu City Command Center......
See this scene......
Everyone knows that something big is about to happen!!
Half an hour......
All Pangu City and Nuwa City. The core management of the two cities excludes a small part of the very few who are not in the base now because of something and can't really get in touch......
The others, as long as they were qualified to participate in this meeting, the people who were notified by Xia Jian, without exception, all rushed to the command center located in the center of Pangu City in the shortest possible time!!
The atmosphere of the scene was unusually dignified......
After a night of fermentation, yesterday afternoon, Xia Jian received the news of Nie Han, a military representative, and it has completely spread in the two cities......
Even......
Even a series of favorable conditions proposed by Nie Han have been spread in private!!
Among the many survivors, there are a few people who can climb to this position under Xia Jian, and there are a few people who are not active!!
Xia Jian's order was issued......
Everyone has basically guessed what Xia Jian is calling everyone together for today!!
There are even some people who are more concerned about this matter, and they were already waiting for Xia Jian's summons last night!! Just so that when Xia Jian gave the order, he could come over as soon as possible!
And that's not all......
After some consideration, many people have even made a choice for Xia Jian by making their own cleverness!
And I don't blame everyone for that......
After all, on the surface, the strength of both sides is there!! Moreover, in addition to a limited number of people, more people didn't know that before Nie Han came over, the other party had actually sent someone to find Xia Jian......
…………
But in fact?
Xia Jian's decision this time was beyond everyone's expectations......
Though......
The military represented by Nie Han, in order to win over Xia Jian, put forward a series of conditions, which in everyone's opinion, are already very generous......
You know, according to Nie Han, when the battle is over, Xia Jian's subordinates will be sitting in three large military bases! If this matter is realized, to a certain extent, most of the entire southeast region will be reduced to Xia Jian's sphere of influence!!
But Xia Jian didn't accept it, in everyone's opinion, it was like a pie in the world! !
Of course......
Although Xia Jian didn't accept it, he didn't directly refuse!!
It's just that I can't make up my mind for a while, and I need time to think about it......
Although Xia Jian didn't use any special tone when he said this......
But for some reason, it always feels like Xia Jian is not satisfied with the conditions that the other party is offering now. I want to use this as a threat to fight for more benefits from the major military bases!!
And on that basis......
It seems to be to put pressure on the major military bases. Xia Jian also issued a supreme mobilization order!!
From today onwards, the survivors who have sheltered under Pangu City and Nuwa City must put aside their own affairs, return to the city, obey the unified distribution and command, and be ready to participate in the war at any time......
……
As this series of orders continues......
Although this time, Xia Jian gave instructions. It's hard to understand!!
But this does not prevent the entire Pangu City and Nuwa City from being under the command of core management such as Liu Li and Xu Reni. Like a machine, it is running at the most efficient speed......
But......
Xia Jian is still just one person after all. And not an all-knowing and all-powerful God......
And as long as it's human......
There will always be omissions and oversights......
For example, this time......
Although now two cities. It's all still under Xia Jian's control......
But after all, these two cities are no longer what they used to be, with millions of people, which can be called a huge population base!!
And human beings are the most complex and selfish creatures in the world......
Throughout human history, there has been no shortage of them. It is those who are selfish and selfish, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Or maybe it's ambitious!!
On weekdays......
There is no crisis when this complexity of human beings may be suppressed and not reflected!
But once Xia Jian's order is not in the interests of most people, and everyone feels the crisis, there will be so many people, their originally suppressed side, will jump out uncontrollably......
In addition, there are people who are encouraging on the side......
These sparks are likely to develop out of control!!
And this, even if Xia Jian has a god-level skill similar to mind reading like "Spiritual Revelation", he is helpless!
After all, people's hearts are changing all the time!!
And now, there are too many survivors in the two cities, Xia Jian doesn't have the time or energy to do everyone, every day, check it with "Spiritual Revelation"!!
So......
In Pangu City and Nuwa City, all the staff are busy and making various preparations for the upcoming war......
In those dark corners of the city, there is already an undercurrent!!
A force opposing Xia Jian is slowly gathering......
………………
All right......
The eyes first moved away from the ancient city of Pangu and put it on a national scale......
Now......
If Pangu City and Nuwa City are already turbulent, then from a nationwide perspective, the situation at this time is completely turbulent......
Over time......
The alliance composed of various large military bases, and the contradictions with the "Inquisitors" and the Bright Sun Clan, are becoming more and more clear!!
The most direct consequence of this contradiction is ......
The two sides have gradually lost patience, and when they win over the small forces and small bases around them, their means have become more and more direct......
In this environment......
In the past year, the kind of atmosphere that has been formed in China, where everyone is relatively safe and sound, working together to deal with demons, blood clans, and mutated creatures, and trying their best to fight for living space, will soon disappear......
Instead......
It's a mutual attack! The smell of gunpowder on both sides is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more small clashes and frictions are being staged every day and intensifying......
In this big atmosphere, the most unlucky ones are those small bases and forces!!
They don't have a choice......
Whether it is the major military bases, or the "Inquisitor" and the Sun Clan, none of them can afford to provoke them at all......
If they don't join, what awaits them is a ruthless purge......
But even if you join a certain party, the final result may not be much better!!
The biggest possibility is to be used as cannon fodder, and in the process of fragmentary temptation, it will be completely wiped out by the hostile side!!
It feels ......
At this time, the domestic environment seems to have become a large powder keg!! It only takes a little spark to ignite this powder keg completely!!
…………
It is in this big atmosphere that ......
Northwest China ......
In a desert that is deserted by no people......
Not long since......
This was once a military exclusion zone!!
It is an area that other countries and satellites focus on......
Once off the beaten track!!
Once upon a time, the climate was hot, and all year round, it was shrouded in heat......
But now......
A year after the Day of the Apocalypse, this once inaccessible military exclusion zone can now be seen from time to time with heavily armed survivors, in the wilderness where there is not a single inch of grass and gravel and sand, people come and go......
And that's not all......
Now, a year later, the climate here has changed dramatically!!
After daylight hours......
The climate is pleasant, neither as cold and snowy as other places, nor as hot as it once was!!
And once it is night, the temperature in the desert will drop sharply, and the little water vapor in the air will quickly condense into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye......
It wasn't until the next day, when the blood-red sun rose, that the crushed ice melted again, evaporated, and melted into the air......
It's in such a wilderness......
As the flow of these people went deeper and deeper, you could soon see a city that stretched for miles......
That's right!!
In this once inaccessible desert, to a certain extent, it has now become a paradise for mankind!!
Because of the inaccessibility of people, after the Great Apocalypse, there are not many dark chasers here at all!!
The limited Shadow Chasers will also be quickly eliminated by the survivors who have succeeded them!!
And as more and more survivors gathered from all over the world, a number of humble bases rose from the ground......
Until one day......
A military base that was originally located under the desert has come out of the ground......
Take the entire desert under your control......
