Chapter 599: Wind and Rain
Song Lan never expected that the curse of the consciousness aggregate would take effect so quickly.
The next morning, he experienced the taste of self-inflicted suffering.
Even Lu Xiang, who had returned to the hotel after going out, looked at Song Lan with suspicious eyes, sat on the chair next to the bed with his legs crossed and asked him, "What did you do to Heliface and the commander of the First Army, and why are the streets and alleys of Antigang now full of missing person notices?" ”
It was the first time she had seen a battle that looked like a city-wide wanted notice.
The followers of the Eclipse Cult fully exert their cohesion, and every corner of the city is filled with people looking for "office workers".
What they were looking for was a man in a crisp black suit, carrying a briefcase, and dressed as a company person.
Although there is a certain discrepancy between the face on the portrait and Song Lan, Lu Xiang is very sure that this is Song Lan's ghost.
When the Archbishop and the Commander of the First Legion returned to Antigan last night, a meeting was held overnight, and after a long war, the two incompatible forces were once again allied.
The arrival of the Rite of the End made them aware of the existence of a real enemy, and they did not have the time and energy to waste their time and resources on endless infighting, and this strategic alliance would remain in place until the day the war with the Consciousness Aggregate ended.
They then began to work on the reconstruction of the Third Neutral Country.
The loss of control of the "Pit" caused the Third Neutral to lose almost half of its population in a short period of time, and most of the cities outside the core cities were destroyed by the distorted structures, and they all had to work to eliminate the threat posed by the mutants in each city for a long time to come.
And under this tense situation, Archbishop Heliface still has the leisure to mobilize a lot of manpower to find people.
Although the Barossa group did not do so obviously, in just one morning, the airboats of the First to Third Legions were constantly patrolling Antigan and the outskirts of the city, and it was not surprising that they were looking for the whereabouts of the "office workers" like the archbishop.
Song Lan said that he had simply implanted an idea in the brains of Heliface and the First Legion, which was necessary to expel the imprint of the Consciousness Aggregate from their bodies.
But judging from the current situation, this "simple idea" does not seem to have dampened their fanaticism, but has slid their fanaticism from "God the Father" to the other end.
The side effects of this thought even made them temporarily forget about the threat of the swarm.
"It's really just a simple idea."
Song Lan said.
But as he thought, after being implanted in his ideas, Heliface and the First Legion Commander "Destiny" began to move on a different path.
Its influence on people is beyond Song Lan's imagination, it is even more ingrained than the consciousness of the Devourer, and it is probably the most convenient tool for those who control this method.
He can do the same to anyone's brain at any time, and then their lives will undergo drastic changes, and under its influence they will become puppets of "fate", and those upper life forms seem to control the fate of this human and the world in this way.
This feeling of arbitrary control and change of "fate" made Song Lan experience the feeling of looking down on the world from another dimension, but he was also aware of the extent of its evil, and the free will of human beings would disappear in front of it.
Again, this is an ability for him without any learning costs.
After he met the potential new friend of the Consciousness Aggregate, he was completely grasped after just thinking about it.
However, Song Lan is an upright and sunny person.
He decided to drag this dangerous and evil ability out of his skill bar.
"How's the battle going in the outlying cities?"
He digressed from the subject.
Lu Xiang looked at him for a moment before he said, "The rescue work is going very well, the Barossa Group has kept the agreement and helped, and now we have withdrawn the swarm troops from the city, and the soldier named Cuenca has become the commander of the expeditionary force." ”
Over the past few days, Cuenca has shown remarkable command skills, not only cooperating with the swarm in an orderly manner, but also establishing enough prestige among the expeditionary force that even the lawless criminals active in the border cities regard Cuenca as their commander.
This is the general who came into being in the war, and if he is promoted by the coalition government, he will definitely be able to do something, but after understanding the despicable behavior of the coalition government in sending them to the front in exchange for intelligence, Cuenca decides to consolidate the remnants of the expeditionary force to form a new army.
They now have basic equipment and a large amount of supplies collected during the rescue process, and are fully self-sufficient in the harsh "outside" environment.
"The Barossa Group has given them a new place to go, and their current plan is to build a military fortress in the coastal zone between the Third and Fourth Neutrals, and Cuenca says that they will send reinforcements as soon as the swarm needs help."
After the war, the swarm had an ally of nearly 10,000 men equipped with military-grade exoskeleton armor.
"The coalition government became the only loser in this war."
Lu Xiang said mockingly, "It seems that the law that the coalition government is always the winner has been broken this time." ”
While the Eclipse Cult and the Barossa Group ended the civil war, representatives of the extended families and corporations in Far Sector 1 were still engaged in a boring and inefficient battle over which troops to send to the front.
Now, they don't have a chance to be ashamed.
It will be remembered that the war ended with the defeat of the coalition government expeditionary force on all fronts and the end of the civil war among the people of the Third Neutral Nation.
Moreover, with the technology displayed by the Eclipse Cult and the Barossa Group in this war, the coalition government may not dare to start a war with them easily in the short term.
After suffering such a dumb loss, Lu Xiang could think of the scene where the faces of the commentators were distorted, but for a long time to come, they all had to focus on appeasing the people, and the negative emotions brought about by the defeat at the front line would inevitably spread to every city, and the contradictions that were temporarily suppressed by the pre-war mobilization would become unprecedentedly intense.
For the empire that has controlled the world since the war, a turbulent era has arrived.
And now, Lu Xiang is also facing a serious problem.
"What are you going to do with this little girl?"
She looked at the night heron, still asleep on the couch, her will was far less powerful than that of Heliface and the First Legion, and she passed out not long after running to the archbishop.

Song Lan used her spiritual energy to lift her out when her flesh and blood were spreading, and Lu Xiang carried the sleeping night heron all the way back to Antigang's residence.
According to their original plan, they had planned to bring the Night Heron and the Angels of Death back to the swarm, but that was based on the death of Archbishop Heliface.
Now that others are still alive, this kind of blatant digging may be suspected of unfair industry competition.
"When she wakes up, let her choose."
And in the face of this turbulent era, Song Lan must also push her plan to the next step.
"Lao Lu."
"Huh?"
After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "I only have one question now, where is the nearest shoe store from here?" ”
