Chapter 374: Director Lu, you must hold on

In the afternoon of the day that O'Bernard's body was returned to the core, an emergency meeting of the Council was held.

Originally, sacrificing a four-star rescuer was not enough for the coalition government to attract the attention of the council, but O'Bernard brought back a series of important information.

In fact, the recent events in the 17th arrondissement have completely disrupted the Council's strategic deployment.

After the Foster family withdrew, they also secretly withdrew their investments from large corporations in the 17th District, strategically treating it as an outpost against the Resistance.

Everyone knew that sooner or later a war would break out between the coalition government and the rebels, but who would have thought that this war had not yet started, but out of nowhere, a mysterious force from the Void suddenly appeared, but District 17 still seems to have some kind of close connection with the Void.

The withdrawal of MI7 agents, the intellectual crisis, and the death of O'Bernard-Lionheart have brought this poignant question to the table, forcing the Council to confront it.

A number of evidences suggest that most of the coalition government's intellectual crisis is related to a phantom named "King" in the void, whose will turned into a virus and affected the impersonants in the factory, before this vigorous artificial intelligence strike broke out.

That's the crux of the matter.

The previous cold treatment method had proven to be a failed decision, and the idea of kicking the Void to the rebels as a ball seemed like a good thing, but they ignored the subjective agency of the Void.

Whether it is the crisis of intelligence or the fog that swept the entire Seventeenth District the day before, it proves that if corresponding measures are not taken, the impact of the Void on the real world will continue uncontrollably, and today it is artificial intelligence, and God knows what will be "polluted" by the Void tomorrow.

According to this momentum, before the rebels can deal with the Void, they will first be overwhelmed by the "pollution" of the Void.

But here comes the problem again.

Who to send to deal with it?

Faced with this tricky question, the delegates of the Council looked at each other.

According to the information they have so far, almost none of those who have anything to do with the void, who die or run, will have a good ending.

The death of O'Bernard-Lionheart is bad news, and he brings even worse news.

Most of the "zealous citizens" also died in the battle with the Void.

At the mention of this name, the delegates were furious—this man had made such a big storm in the seventeenth arrondissement when he was alive, and had become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many families and companies led by the Foster family; Now that he himself is dead, he will not let the whole coalition government live in peace!

In the past few months, the intelligence services of the coalition government have been secretly investigating the "zealous citizens", and combined with the deep pit that the other side kicked out in the Barossa branch that is comparable to the power of tactical nuclear bombs, they have determined that the combat effectiveness of the "zealous citizens" is at the level of the six-star rescuer, and even the destructive power of its ability can be among the best among the six-star rescuers.

In other words, even those families and businesses that hate him to the bone have to admit one thing - this person can really fight.

This is also the real reason why the Foster family never dared to send anyone over after withdrawing from the Seventeenth District, although their mouths did not stop.

A person who can kick out a tactical nuclear bomb crater, if he really pushes him to a hurry, the nuclear explosion "Libra" is not a plot that only appears in movies.

At the same time as the investigation, the coalition government was ready to engage with "enthusiastic citizens".

But before this matter could be brushed up, the "enthusiastic citizen" died in the process of investigating the void first.

You're dead, the question is who else can they send to District 17?

They originally felt that the defeat of the desolate bones was full of strangeness, and now with the death of the "zealous citizen", it became a sure fact that the six-star rescuers could not deal with the void.

To make matters worse, after losing two six-star rescuer-level combat powers, they still didn't know anything about the enemies in the void.

This made the council realize that no matter who was sent over next, the outcome would probably not be any different from that of the desolate bones and the "enthusiastic citizens".

The Six-Star Rescuer is an extremely scarce resource even for the coalition government, and it is also an important combat force used to maintain the balance between the resistance and the rebels, and it simply cannot withstand such an unexplained act of giving away heads.

The delegates of the council brainstormed for a morning, and no one could come up with a practical plan.

Even if multiple six-star rescuers are to be dispatched, they must at least find out the truth of the void and clarify the specific enemy before considering the problem.

"Lu Xiang."

In the midst of silence, the name was proposed, "Regardless, she's the only one who's been in contact with the Void for so long and hasn't been killed, and from what O'Bernard has investigated, she's known that the Void existed even longer than most of us here." ”

"But she's only a one-star rescuer."

Soon doubts were raised.

Isn't it self-deception to hand over the void that even a six-star rescuer can't deal with to a one-star rescuer to deal with?

"It's true that she doesn't have a very impressive performance at the level of combat, but it just means that she has found some kind of means to survive the influence of the Void, and O'Bernard also makes it clear that the 'Eager Citizen' found her privately before she disappeared, and she should still have some information that we don't know, and this information is the key to helping us understand the Void."

"Of course, she alone is not enough, and we can send someone to keep her safe and make up for her shortcomings in combat...... If protection is the first priority, rather than investigating the Void, there are quite a few suitable candidates. ”

……

In this afternoon, Lu Xiangyi, who was in the office dealing with the files that had accumulated in the past few days, connected to several phone calls.

First of all, there is a personal call from the presiding officer.

This was the first time she had spoken to the Chairperson, who had greeted her on the phone, and even made her wonder if it was a phone scam.

She had just inexplicably listened to the compliment from the Speaker himself, and then received a notice from MI7.

After detailed discussions in the organization, MI7 decided to make an exception to admit her to the organization, and all future matters concerning the 17th district will be reported directly to MI7's intelligence center.

Yin Wan once said that this is a privilege that only a very small number of agents can enjoy.

Later, there was a call from the Core District Rescuer Administration, due to the accidental death of Director O'Bernard, the position of the head of the Seventeenth District Rescuer Department was vacant, and they thought that Lu Xiang, who had performed well in recent events, was the best candidate, and even the Administration considered that the identity of a one-star rescuer might be difficult to convince the public, so Lu Xiang was promoted to two levels in a row and directly awarded her the three-star rescuer medal.

From this series of phone calls, she not only felt the high expectations from the coalition government, but also heard their worries about herself.

Lu Xiang, you have to hold on, don't die!

Hanging up the last call, Lu Xiang's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

She didn't know if the council had misunderstood something, but she was never prepared to die.
