Chapter 137: Cleaning the Air

As Thomas Fischer began, the room fell silent. Even Zach was shocked by the numbers. He knew that the undead invasion had some impact on both India and China, the two most populous countries before the fall, but that wasn't enough to explain so many casualties.

Six billion people have lost their lives, which means that only 20% of them are still alive after less than half a year. Zach knew that the world had not yet completed its transformation. There are hardly any E-class monsters roaming, and this will change sooner or later.

Both the mass and energy of this new planet are rated D-class by the system, meaning that it will be able to maintain D-class power and beasts. One small consolation, though, is that the animals are getting stronger. As the monsters evolved, they became more intelligent and created their own society in a sense.

They don't attack settlements at will, especially if they know that there are arrays or power station guards there. Of course, this is based on having these defenses, otherwise the town would be a fair game.

"Let's take a break. After we reconvene, we will review all the information we have gathered about the invasion and foreign invaders. There will be a lot of exclusive information out there, and I urge everyone to stay and listen. Not only will this help you survive in the future, but it may also help you on your path to power. In that regard, we welcome everyone present to participate, as we are all in this together to fight the invasion.

"After that, we will concentrate on organizing humanity. This section has little valuable information for our friends at Ishat, so we have prepared a separate location for you. Representatives of the information services of the New World Government are waiting for you, and they will do their best to help you find your brothers all over the world. ”

"I hope to see you again soon. Thank you for your interest. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights came on again, and people began to pour out. However, just as Zach and the others were about to leave, an officer ran towards their group.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Fisher said, "If only he could be available with your team.

Zach just shrugged and followed the man, and the others followed. They were left in an area of the backstage, where Thomas and several other officials were waiting.

"Mr. Munch, it's a pleasure to see you again. Once again, I would like to thank you for the information you gave us last time. It will be a great asset for humanity's future war efforts," he said with a smile. "These people with me are representatives of the other major centers of the New World Government. ”

"Joanna Yakovna," said a gloomy woman in her fifties. "Former Russia and Eastern Europe"

"Francis Giraldo, France," said a man in his sixties with a frown.

Asano Prefecture, Japan. Nice to meet you," said an Asian.

Soon, they all appeared, and even Zach felt a little scared to stand in front of so many world leaders.

"What are you thinking?" Zach asked.

"We know the cheese, but the identities of the other two are worrying," the Russian representative said, not mincing words.

"How's it going?" Zach asked, with a sinking feeling.

Another representative continued: "You, like us, should know that there is no trace of this species anywhere else. ”。 "Their origin is doubtful. Some believe that they may be alien infiltrators. ”

"Oh, isn't this our best chance to kill you all and cause chaos?" Ogras grinned, causing several of the delegates to flinch.

"Ogras was just joking," Zach said quickly, glaring at the demon. "But he's not very funny. ”

"I'm Carlin Thayer of the Thayer Consortium," the dwarf said briskly as he stepped forward. "Your eyes are sharp, as expected from those who are at the forefront of this new integrated world. ”

"You're right, I'm not from this world. I came here when Port Atwood bought a store from our consortium. Suffice it to say, I came here on a business visa. "Here's my proof that you should know that these commercial licenses are from the tutorial," the Sky Gnome continued, at which point a golden parchment floated in his hand.

"I am not a threat to humanity or any other indigenous people. I can't buy land, I can't conquer towns, I can't even attack anyone. This system forbids me to do anything that is harmful to the planet. What I can do, though, is give you a chance of a lifetime. Aren't you tired of the high prices of the stores run by the system?

"It's a great opportunity to get you ahead compared to other towns. Others pay 70 Relationship Coins for a Relationship Crystal, while in our store you only pay a measly £60. In fact, our prices are relatively good for almost all materials and treasures, and we even stock up on all sorts of things that have never been bought in ordinary stores," Carllin continued. "Your army can save millions!"

The businessman's little pitch actually generated some interest because some of the representatives looked seductive. Zach actually hopes that this will work, because a few branches will increase his income quite a bit.

An Italian delegate frowned and said: "This does not explain the reason for the devil man, in fact he has a rosary in his hand."

This allowed the delegates to recover from their own machinations, but many still cast a glance at the little gnome standing next to Zach with a smiling face. Zach understands them because he knows how difficult it can be to find a real business force in your city.

Perhaps, if you were the leader of a thriving town on a C- or B-ranked planet, many consortia would fight for this opportunity, but at this moment, the investment cost of these companies is simply too high.

"The invading forces were forbidden to use the array for a certain period of time. They can't use the Teleporter, but Ogras is clearly coming with us through the array," Zach said, gesturing Ogras not to make things worse. "Isn't that enough to prove that he's not an intruder?"

"Yes, we did read this in the information letter you provided, which seems to be consistent with our own observations. However, while we have yet to see any invading forces using arrays, that doesn't mean there are no solutions. We simply can't confirm that. ”

Zach looked at the delegates and frowned, reviewed their words again, and came to an infuriating conclusion.

"You're suggesting that Port Atwood is colluding with the invaders to help them fight their fellow citizens," Zach said, and a wave of anger began to burn.

"It is not surprising that some people betray their race for their own benefit," Francis said. "Your faction is suspicious, because even after weeks of searching and inquiry, no one has been able to confirm its existence. ”

Enough is enough. Zach felt that O'Gras was right, that there was a limit to keeping a low profile, and that sometimes that would cause more trouble. It is likely that no one has contributed as much to humanity as he has.

Not only has he put an end to an invasion, but he has also provided important intelligence. But although he fought after the integration, he was considered a traitor by some bureaucrats, who likewise hid behind the army.

Zach's towering aura was unleashed like a floodgate, drowning out entire groups of politicians. They gasped and groaned in their mouths, and a few even fell to the ground. Only a handful of people can stand, and Thomas Fisher is one of them. But even he was noticeably pale from the pressure of Zach's aura.

"You think I'm a traitor and want to learn your tactics and plans? Ogras was right about one thing. If I were an enemy of humanity, I would kill you all and seize control of New Washington. You can't stop me. But do you want proof? Okay. ”

With a wave of his hand, his aura vanished, replaced by a hint and hovered in front of them.

[Aegis Planet: The first world to stop the invasion.] Rewards: +5 for all attributes, +5% for all attributes. ]

"Do you want to know how I'm so strong, how do we know about so many invasions, and Port Atwood has been fighting with all its might since the first day of integration. "The message you received came from an intruder," Zach growled.

The delegates standing under Zach's powerful aura crawled up awkwardly, shocked when they saw the title screen hovering in front of them. There is simply no way to fake the system running screen, because the system itself does not allow it. His title is ironclad proof of his resistance to the invaders, not for them.

"We have done our part. We even defeated an invasion, and now we are brokering peace with Zhilian for the benefit of all mankind. Port Atwood is at the forefront of protecting humanity," Zach said glaring at the delegates.

"I'm shocked to hear that all of you have not been able to destroy an invasion and that our small forces have been able to do so. Maybe it's time to get moving, and not to play politics. ”

His outbursts had all sorts of effects on those present. Ogras just grinned and looked very much in favor of his actions, while Carllin looked uncomfortable. Zach can only assume that the gnome was afraid that his previous pitch was now in vain.

The delegates ranged from angry to embarrassed, some looking thoughtfully at the screen. Thomas Fischer just sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry for my colleagues' words, Mr. Munch," he said with a look of remorse. "We just need to be sure of your loyalty. If our plans don't have an impact on the future of humanity. We have been fighting the invasion on multiple fronts for months, and to be honest, it was a losing battle. ”

Zach frowned as he listened intently.

"They have gained power faster than we do. After looking at your packet, we understand that the reason is that they were much stronger than us from the start, and were only temporarily limited by the system.

"We believe that the longer things drag on, the more difficult it will be to expel the troops. Some of our analysts even believe that humanity is doomed unless we defeat them within a year. That is why we have gathered so many troops here today. ”

Zach sighed, and by this time he had calmed down. He also regretted his petty temper. Not because he acted like a brute, but because he may have leaked too much information in self-defense. He soon realized that showing the title was enough, but he unleashed his aura in anger.

"But your victory gives us hope that our task is feasible. We hope that in the coming months, we can rely on your strength and expertise to jointly destroy the invaders on this planet," Asano added behind Thomas.

"Port Atwood will do everything we can in the war, but we also have our own things to deal with. So we can't guarantee any details. I'm also sorry for the heavy rain on your march, but the invasion wasn't our only problem," Zach said, feeling tired.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Thomas asked, frowning.

"Ibutaipu, please explain the ruler to these people," Zach said, turning to Zhix, who had been standing silently until now.

Obviously, the Ten Wise Envoys were not prepared and began to interpret history. The delegates seemed to be a little curious about the history of Zhilian, but when they learned that the Zhilian Homeland already had cultivators before it was integrated, they began to frown.

When the online game shows them the level of a self-proclaimed "inevitability", they are completely pale.

Elia focused on the ashes around her, shoving it into the woman's eyes and throat as she kicked her armor-like calves with her legs. In the end, she kicked the coughing woman so hard that she lost enough stability to allow Elija to grab the silver medal with her free left arm. She grabbed the woman's arm, crushed it with all her enhanced strength, stood firmly on the ice, pulled the magician around, and smashed her on the ground she had created.

The silver around her right arm fell off, and her healing continued to fight against the ice crystals that had formed within her, the enemy's magic slowing slightly in the near-boiling blood. Elija's ashes continued to strike women with broken shoulders on the ground.

The attacks of the other two mages continued, and the Silver Mage barely managed to block the attack with her magic. Elia's left arm still holds her foes firmly hostage, most likely making it impossible for her to simply teleport out. This position didn't allow Elija to kick or knees, but her head was close enough. Her forehead slammed into the swollen silver on the woman's hair ornament, and time and time again, waves of destruction and embers destroyed her defenses as her healing resisted the spreading cold and acidic deconstruction of her cells.

The woman's gaze turned from determination to fear, for Elija did not let up, not after half a minute, not after two minutes. It was clear that the magician had a hard time maintaining his defenses when Maurice appeared in a plume of smoke, the silver blades glistening in the sunlight, and the silver expansion turned the attack around. The second knife got stuck in the metal as the metal swelled and jammed his arm as well.
