The on-site headquarters is located in the northwest of the Wenhou District Industrial Park, and there are only two other factories separated from the Longshi Heavy Industry Steel Plant. When Pei Yuanxiu answered Li Qingyan's call, he stood behind a public telephone booth, and when he put down the phone, he saw that the temporary command center not far away had been set up, and the defense front composed of police officers from the Public Security Bureau, agents from the Zongdao Bureau and the Special Intelligence Bureau, and special forces of the city defense army was also in place.

Peberu was talking to several other on-site commanders, and a dozen paces away a commando team of six monks and a team of "Iron Dragon" special combat team fighters was on standby, intending to storm into the steel mill.

There are a lot of people in the neighborhood where the promotion will be arranged. Not only did they have more powerful firepower, but there were also a dozen fifth-level monks—there should be one or two fourth-level monks. Because in the previous resistance process, someone cast several high-level spells, causing huge casualties.

At this stage, the command is a bit constrained - they have to take into account the nearby industrial buildings. Long's Heavy Industries can not have the steel mill, but several nearby factories are either the property of the Republic of China, or have shares in a certain powerful person in the capital and Beishan. In addition to directing the battle, they also had to devote a lot of energy to dealing with these things-

One after another, the phone calls that had to be answered came in through various channels, and they made it clear that they would resolutely support all the actions of the commanders and fighters at all levels in Beishan, and that they could hope to take into account the safety of the surrounding property in the course of the operation and minimize the losses. If possible, do not cause serious damage to important industrial facilities that have a bearing on the national economy and people's livelihood.

In fact, most of these calls belong to four companies: Jiang, Meng, Ma, and Cheng. These four have a pivotal position in the political and economic fields of the republic, and can easily influence the direction of domestic and even alliance policy. There are also many protégés of these four families in the headquarters, and it seems that they are also very concerned about these "instructions" or "suggestions".

Pei Yuanxiu put away his mobile phone, stood by the phone booth for a while, and saw another staff member hand the phone to Pei Bolu, who answered. He had a smile on his face when he spoke, but immediately became gloomy when he put down the phone. It is understood that this is another call to "make a statement".

Meat eaters despise. He thought, but not really stupid, just didn't care.

So he breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Pei Bolu's side: "Can you borrow a step to speak." ”

Peberu turned, a look of surprise on his face. The two have met in the past few days, but because of work. I also said a lot of things in person, but it was also because of work. Now Pei Yuanxiu was talking to him outside the work meeting, which surprised him a little.

However, after being slightly stunned, he looked at the few commanders who were still discussing and arguing over there, and nodded: "Yes." ”

After walking a dozen steps, he stopped next to a command car. Pei Yuanxiu said bluntly: "You think Li Qingyan's information is not credible, but I believe it. I've told him to go to the Academy of Sciences, and now I'm going to take a team there. ”

"Nonsense. "The operation here has been carefully demonstrated by dozens or hundreds of people, and the development of events has confirmed the accuracy of our information." Now you are going to overturn your previous conclusion because of a sentence that you heard by chance from a demon clan out of nowhere? Pei Yuanxiu, you are no longer a child, you must distinguish between public and private. ”

Pei Yuanxiu took a deep breath: "We have cut off the external power supply of the factory. But now you can still detect that the generator inside is charging. This means that Li Qingyan is right, that thing does not rely on the electricity in the factory. Of course, we can also wait, wait for the action team to find the former staff of the steel mill to verify the situation, and wait for the commando team to rush in to see if it is consistent with what Li Qingyan said - but what if his conclusion is confirmed by that time, and the Academy of Sciences really has an accident? I don't understand why you guys aren't in a hurry, why are you people not in a hurry about anything?"

Peberu waved his hand: "Now I don't want to argue with you about these things. You think we people are sluggish and unresponsive. But Yuan Xiu, when you reach this position in the future, you will understand that such a big country and alliance, if you are not careful and cautious in everything, it will fall apart a long time ago. It's not twilight, it's caution—"

"I'll go by myself!" Pei Yuanxiu turned around and left.

But he was pulled by Pei Bolu: "You dare!"

Pei Yuanxiu turned his face and glared at him. The father and son looked at each other for a moment, and Pei Boru's tone softened slightly. It seems that because this is the first time in several years that the two have spoken face-to-face in private, they don't want to end up arguing: "Okay. You send two squads over, but you stay. If something really happens over there, it's too dangerous for you to go. Moreover, Li Qingyan is a demon clan and has been in the promotion association for a year. Add to that all the things he did in training camp, can you guarantee that he's reliable?"

"I can!" Pei Yuanxiu's tone did not back down, "Actually, not only do I think I should go, but you should also go with me!"

I don't know if I was laughed at angrily, or if I really thought he was funny. Pei Bolu no longer frowned, but pulled the corners of his mouth slightly: "Oh? Why?"

Pei Yuanxiu looked at him: "Do you think I am a child? Do you think I can't see things clearly on your side? You are now the nominal on-site commander, but no one listens to you." Because a few days ago, you were the one who initiated the opening of the North Mountain Enchantment, and now everyone knows that you will be held accountable after this matter has passed. There are some people who want you to step down quickly, and now this is a good opportunity for them. ”

"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, why did you do that, why did you open an enchantment? It doesn't look like your style at all!"

Pei Bolu turned around to look at the factory with his back hand and breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, he said, "For you." ”

Pei Yuanxiu was stunned: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Since you can see clearly, how can you not know that the one who is in charge of our Beishan and Yu Peiyan of the Ministry of Defense are mortal enemies? Yuan Xiu, this is my vote. If I step down here, I can be regarded as pulling him off the horse. ”

"Then I'll stay in peace for a few years, even if it's Yu Peiyan's person. Then the matter between you and the soul is settled—and your future is secured. ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Just for the sake of you people who are intriguing for personal gain, you are joking with the lives of 20 million people in Beishan!?"

When he said this, it dawned on him, "You ...... You...... I knew there would be no danger here, and I wouldn't be the target of the Promotion Association!?You were committing a crime!!"

"It's not a crime, it's not intrigue, it's a game. Yuan Xiu, sooner or later, you will understand. If you really care about that friend of yours, tell him to withdraw it. ”

"What you have done has gone beyond the bottom line!" Pei Yuanxiu gritted his teeth and looked at him, "I don't have a mother anymore." I don't want to be without your father anymore - you can do it yourself!"

With that, he turned and walked away, pulling out his phone as he went, as if to call his friend.

Peberu looked at his back, and it took two seconds to realize that he had called himself "father" again—albeit in a fit of rage. He sighed lowly, knowing that his son, although he was growing up far faster than his peers, was not yet truly mature. It took him a long, long time to really understand that he couldn't do great things with his conscience and righteousness. Now I just hope he takes fewer detours.

As for the Beishan Academy of Sciences......

So what? He never thought it would be a success. What does it cost to do something?

He pondered alone for a moment, then walked back and picked up two more calls. Twenty minutes later, a correspondent ran over: "Chief Pei, Pei Yuanxiu left the scene with a team of people, saying that it was your instructions." ”

Pei Bolu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "When?"

"I just got the news fifteen minutes ago. ”

Peberu stood up and waved his hand to signal the correspondent to leave: "It's my order." But the matter is kept secret. ”

"Yes. ”

He stood there for a moment, sighing heavily. I haven't had any intimate contact with his son all these years, and now I realize that I am out of his control.

Yuan Xiu was not like this in the past - he also had his own rules in his heart in the past, but he understood the overall situation. Some things are emotionally difficult for him to accept for a while, but after thinking about them, he will know how to weigh the benefits and disadvantages and make the right judgment. Otherwise, even if he had a relationship, he would not have become the head of operations of the Beishan Bureau in such a few years.

But what's going on now? Emotional, extremely impulsive!

But even if he thought about it, it was difficult for him to be angry in his heart - the words that Yuan Xiu said before leaving still seemed to be in his ears: "I have no mother, and I don't want to lose your father anymore."

Both father and son are emotionally restrained, and his son has never expressed his heart so bluntly in more than 20 years, but just now, after the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point for several years, he said such a sentence.

Peberu is not hard-hearted. Even that sentence stumbled a crack in his heart. He used to think that this son was most like himself—like when he was younger. But that doesn't look like ...... He himself would not say that, and he would not let people see his heart. However, at this moment, he felt that this kind of "not like" was also very good.

He decided to go and get Pei Yuanxiu back. When he made this decision, he realized that he was also "emotional", but he didn't think it was too outrageous - his son finally released his kindness after a few years, and he didn't want to make the father and son completely strange.

......

......

Carambola has been staying overnight at the Beishan Academy of Sciences, with three classmates by her side. When they came, it was Dumfrey who led the team, reassuring them that they were only here to "train" and would not actually be involved in the action.

In addition to her and Ilya from Moscow, the two soulless beings in their team, there were also two students of the lower sixth grade. She and Ilya were slightly relieved by Dumfrey's words, but the two Lower Sixth graders looked disappointed. Young people are eager to take part in the battle, before they have seen death and blood.

The two Lower Sixth graders, like all young people of this age, felt that they were unique and different. Even if you are not the best now, you will definitely have a different life in the future, and you will do something different. or scolding Fang Xuan to point out the country, or grasping the wealth and power. The most unfortunate is also a maverick and charming existence in the eyes of ordinary people, and it will never stand out from everyone.

It will take many years for them to realize that they are just ordinary people, and the life they once fantasized about is a very small minority after all. They'll be like any living person or demon in the city who worries about bills and a lot of trivial things. Even the kind of mediocre and stable life that they now despise and despise will have to work hard to achieve.

But because of farm life, star fruit realized this a long time ago. She never had high expectations for her future, and in the past, she only wanted to come to the bustling city of Beishan to be an ordinary, mediocre person. But after meeting Li Qingyan, her future and perception of herself gradually changed.

Someone is going to kill her.

Most people would be terrified and panicked when they heard the news, and she was no different. However, after the initial panic, there was some melancholy anticipation in her heart - did that mean that she was really different and irreplaceable in some way?

Later she learned that she was a spiritless. At first lost, then abruptly. The number of spiritless beings is very small, but they are one of them. Is this a strong proof that she is "different"?

Therefore, after coming to the North Mountain Academy of Sciences, she has been expecting one thing - she may become a key part of an event. Otherwise, why did Providence make her come from the farm to Beishan, to the refresher class, and to come here today?

The five of them stayed in the security room with the security personnel of the Beishan Academy of Sciences and two security officers.

Due to the arrival of the Dragon King, most of the people in the Academy of Sciences have taken a vacation, and only some confidential departments are still left. Dumfrey took a student out on "patrol" every hour, but it was just a walk. The hospital has its own security system, and the police and they are all here to make a show and complete the task.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had darkened, and Dunfrey took the star fruit out of the guard room.

There are two main buildings of the Academy of Sciences, the front one is a "back" shape, and the back one is a "convex" shape. The fastest supercomputer in the alliance is in the convex building in the latter building, and the soldiers of the Beishan City Defense System are on duty.

The two of them first walked around the paper building, and heard a thunderous sound in the distance. Dumfrey said that it was to create a high-energy point in the wasteland to lure the desolate soul over, and the star fruit only whispered. What had happened that night before had given her an indescribable feeling about Dunfrey—she felt that the atmosphere between Li Qingyan and the teacher that night was a little delicate, and she didn't know if there was any unhappiness between the two. So she didn't want to get too close to the teacher, but she knew she had to learn under his guidance. This made her feel a little distressed and difficult to put herself in the right position.

Dumfrey seemed to see what was on her mind, and laughed and said, "It's already five o'clock." In another half an hour, I might have to quit. ”
