Early morning.

While eating breakfast, Lin Lichuan flipped through the newspaper that Yiji bought from outside, and his eyes casually swept over the eye-catching black font on it.

'A large explosion accident occurred at the city research institute late yesterday night, causing many casualties, and after investigation, it was caused by the operation error of the researchers, and the officials are currently holding the relevant personnel accountable......

"The federal authorities are still the same old routine. Lin Lichuan couldn't help but sigh.

Characterizing the supernatural as an accident in order to conceal the existence of supernatural power is a common method used by the White Crown Federation to deceive the general public.

It is also thanks to the fact that there is no Internet in this world, and the transmission of information is restricted, so the official can act in this way.

However, the so-called cover-up is only for ordinary people, but all elites with some social status are probably more or less aware of or aware of the existence of the transcendent world.

"I don't know if it's the same in other countries. ”

Talking to himself, Lin Lichuan took a bite of bread, turned to the political page, and looked at the news about the war.

In the past half a month, the war with Tania and Qianyuan can be said to be the most high-profile event in the Federation, and countless people are paying attention to the progress of the war.

However, there were very few war-related news in the newspapers, and the few reports that were insignificant such as official clichés were insignificant, and the discerning person could tell at a glance that the situation in the Union was not good.

It is obvious that in the current situation of the Federation, even a small victory will definitely be brought out and reported in the newspapers to appease the people's emotions.

But the fact that it didn't speak for itself.

It took a long time for Lin Lichuan to put away the newspaper and turn on the monitoring screen.

On the screen, Lu Gang is eating breakfast in a small restaurant on the side of the road, looking haggard and his face is extremely gray.

These days, Lin Lichuan occasionally turns on the light screen to pay attention to Lu Gang's dynamics, but the latter spends most of his time in the room cultivating, as if he wants to try to force out the rotten poisonous insects in his body, but he doesn't succeed depending on the situation.

At the moment of a thousand annihilations, even if Lu Gang was willing to return to the organization at the risk of being severely punished, he would not be able to do it, without an antidote, the rotting poisonous insect would die out on its own in a few days, and he would also die tragically under the violent poison of the rotting poison.

Originally, Lin Lichuan kept Lu Gang to see if he could use it as a chess piece to attract more members of Qianzhong, but now with the demise of Qianzhong, this chess piece has also lost its original role.

"Speaking of the surveillance bacteria on this guy's body, it seems that the expiration date will be until tomorrow night, just in time for the New Year. ”

There is no new lunar calendar in this world, the New Year refers to January 1 every year, and today is December 30, and in two days, it will be Lin Lichuan's first New Year in this world.

"New Year's ...... I don't feel like it's real. ”

Turning off the light screen, Lin Lichuan got up and prepared to leave the apartment, looking for a place to continue practicing the Lingzi Stasis Technique.

The righteous corpse waiting on the side immediately stepped forward and put away the tableware and newspapers on the table.

Time passed quickly in cultivation, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the night of the 31st.

On the way home from the abandoned factory, Lin Lichuan found that the streets were deserted, with few pedestrians, and he did not remember the lively atmosphere of the previous Chinese New Year.

However, when I think of the current situation of the Federation, I am relieved.

Back at the apartment, Lin Lichuan had just landed on the balcony when he heard the sound and walked out of the bedroom and handed over his mobile phone.

"I didn't answer my aunt's call. ”

Lin Lichuan put Tian Ta Xuan into his backpack, took the mobile phone casually and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a missed call from his aunt, so he immediately called back.

"Li Chuan?"

"It's me, auntie, I was busy just now, I didn't see the phone, do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's not a big deal, I'm going back to Linyang next week, I'll talk to you in advance. ”

Lin Lichuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you done with your work?"

"Sort of, you can rest for a while. ”

"What time will you be back?"

"Number 3. ”

"Okay, I'll pick you up at the station. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two chatted a few more words and hung up.

Looking at the gradually dimming mobile phone screen, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

When my aunt came back, it would be very inconvenient for her to want to cultivate or carry out some secret actions in the future.

And as a relative who is most familiar with him, it probably doesn't work to replace most of them through righteous remains in front of his aunt, and it is very likely to be recognized.

"Fortunately, my aunt should stay in Linyang City for a short time, and she will probably go back after the New Year's holiday. ”

After settling down, Lin Lichuan turned on the monitoring screen again, wanting to take a final look at Lu Gang's condition, but the picture flashed, but he was surprised to find that the latter was lying motionless on the ground, his eyes were round, he had lost his breath, and the red blood under his body gathered into a pool of blood.

Through the moonlight shining through the window, you can clearly see the frightened and desperate look on Lu Gang's face.

Looking at this scene, Lin Lichuan's eyes suddenly froze, and then he heard a faint sound of conversation coming from the light screen, so he immediately turned his perspective.

Soon, two figures appeared on the screen.

The upper bodies of the two were hidden in the shadows of the room, and they could not see their faces clearly, and they could only be vaguely distinguished from the figures of the two men.

"Why do you want to kill him? It's a black iron rank combat power, let him participate in it, and contribute to the next action. ”

"He has rotting insects in his body, and he will be poisonous in less than two days, and I have no antidote on him. ”

"Tsk, rotting insects, you Chiju really like to make such cruel and vicious things. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

After a pause, the low, indifferent voice continued, "How are the manpower arrangements for the answer?"

"It's almost there, what's the matter, are you in a hurry? Hehe, but also, this thousand heavy fiasco has brought immeasurable losses to the above, and the adults are extremely dissatisfied with your performance, if you don't make some results, you are afraid that you will have to sit on the cold bench for seven or eight years after you go back." ”

Hearing this, the deep voice was silent for a few seconds, and then said coldly: "You don't need to be cynical, your operation to kidnap Lin Zhenyi's nephew has also failed, and you have also lost two members of the silver rank, if you don't make up for it, I'm afraid you won't get good in front of the adults." ”

“...... Well, it's true, we're grasshoppers in a boat now, and all in all, this operation must be successful. ”

The other voice didn't answer, but seemed to just nod slightly, and turned to leave the room.

When he passed through the door, his figure was finally revealed in the moonlight, but he was thin and thin, his face was narrow and thin, his cheeks were fleshless and collapsed, looking at his unattractive man, but his eyes wandered, and occasionally a ghostly light like a poisonous snake passed under his eyes, and his body was full of cold and penetrating aura, which made people's hearts palpitate.

Through the light screen, his eyes fell on the man in the picture, and Lin Lichuan felt a faint sense of threat in his heart.

"Golden Tier!"

A thought crossed his mind for a moment.

"This guy's bio-energy level is definitely over level 15. ”

Although he hadn't really met a golden-rank transcendent yet, Lin Lichuan's intuition at this time told him that this man who exuded a cold aura like a poisonous snake was undoubtedly golden-level.

In contrast, the other man of medium stature looked very ordinary, his whole person was restrained, and he couldn't see the specific level of strength, but since he could talk to the cold man on an equal footing, he thought that his strength should not be worse than the latter, and most of them were also gold-level transcendentals.

"Two Golden Steps......

On the screen, the two had left, the room returned to dead silence, and Lin Lichuan stared at Lu Gang's corpse, and his face couldn't help but be solemn.

Obviously, these two gold-level transcendents are plotting something, and it seems that most of them are related to Night Song, and it may even be aimed at him, and the ultimate goal is for his aunt.

"One is a Qianzhong person, it should be the Qianzhong remnant party that Zongye said, a leader or deputy leader level figure, but aren't they being chased and killed by Yege in Ning'an City, how did they come to Linyang?"

"The other guy is supposed to be in the same force as the two who tried to kidnap me earlier, but which organization are they?"

Lin Lichuan frowned lightly, as soon as Lu Gang died, the monitoring he buried inside Qianzhong suddenly collapsed, and there was no way to track their movements, and those two were both gold-level transcendents, even if they wanted to use surveillance bacteria to monitor them, they couldn't do it.

"I don't know if Yege knows that Qianzhong's people are coming to Linyang, if you don't know, you have to find an opportunity to remind them. Lin Lichuan thought secretly.

Whether it's the relationship between my aunt and Night Song, or for the sake of my own safety, I learned about Night Song about this matter, so that they could prepare early, and if they could annihilate the conspiracy of Chiju and the mysterious organization in the cradle, it would be the best.

"However, the improvement of strength cannot be left behind, after all, you still have enough strength, so that no matter what conspiracy and trickery, you can directly crush it with your strength. ”

Coming back from his contemplation, Lin Lichuan let out a long sigh of relief and opened his personal panel to take a look.

After these days of accumulation, the enhancement points have reached 3011 points, and as long as you wait for about half a month, you can make up enough points to upgrade the spiritual pressure.

Spiritual pressure Lv6 is undoubtedly an important joint point.

As long as you break through to this level, the first solution can become a regular combat method, and the power can also be greatly increased, officially breaking through level 15 and reaching the gold level.

Judging from what he had seen and heard in the past, the Gold-Tier Transcendent could be called a figure in any country, even in large transcendent forces such as Chiju and Night Song.

At that level, you can be regarded as truly gaining a foothold in the transcendent world, right?

Lin Lichuan was pondering, and was suddenly awakened by a violent roar, and hurriedly walked to the balcony to take a look, and found that a thick column of smoke in the distance went straight to the sky, and the surging firelight illuminated the night sky red, as if a very violent explosion had occurred.

"That direction...... I think it was like a port?"

At the same time, there was a small, rhythmless, strange sound in the distance.

Lin Lichuan suddenly became curious in his heart, hesitated for a few seconds, but took out the Tiantao Xuan and the mask, put them on his body, and the whole person immediately jumped out of the window and flew away at great speed in the direction where the sound came from.

Flying over the gates of the community, across the streets, and past rows of houses of varying heights, it was not long before he saw the source of the sound.

As far as the eye can see, armored vehicles painted red and brown are slowly but surely driving into the streets of Linyang City.

On the wide streets, all the cars blocking the road were forced out of the way by armored vehicles and pushed aside to clear the way for the large army of soldiers behind.

Bands of soldiers in red-brown uniforms, wearing helmets emblazoned with the Gripen logo and armed with advanced submachine guns, quickly and accurately flowed into the city like ant colonies, killing the few protesters hiding in the dark corners, sporadic gunfire and brief grenade explosions echoing far away in the night.

Looking further back, there are tanks with a heavy and murderous atmosphere, huge tracks rumbling and turning, rolling over the concrete floor.

On the first tank was a banner flying in the air, and the golden lion, which symbolized the ruling authority of the Tania Empire, roared in the sky, exuding a breathtaking sense of oppression.

The houses on both sides of the street were dark, the lights were out, and people hid behind the curtains, staring blankly at the army outside, stunned and speechless.

When!

In the distance, the bell of twelve o'clock came from the direction of the tower, and the distant and loud bell echoed over Linyang City for a long time.

On the first day of the new year, the army of the Tania Empire captured the city of Linyang.

Shortly thereafter, the White Crown Commonwealth formally surrendered, and the territory was incorporated into the Tania Empire.
