Chapter 203: Ripples
Two flags embroidered with wings and scales were hung alternately, with a standard desk underneath. Originally this should be equipped with some auxiliary intelligent control modules, but the owner of the room prefers a more primitive way when working, so this long table was replaced with pure wooden original furniture.
"Ningtong, what do you think?"
After a long silence, the woman behind the desk finally raised her head.
The woman looks to be in her early forties and has short, ear-length hair. Anyone who sees her for the first time can feel the coldness and sharpness. A touch of silver etched circuit winds across the eye, adding a bit of neatness to it.
Shang Qiu is the nominal administrative head of the coalition government in Rokar Plain, and is also the mayor of Zhuguang City who has been in office for more than twelve years and has been appointed for three consecutive terms.
At this moment, she looked at the person in front of her.
"All reports on this joint military exercise have been submitted."
Ning Tong was still wearing the neatly pressed uniform of the Security Bureau, standing upright in front of the table.
"I have already seen it, but I want to hear your opinion." Shang Qiu casually pushed away the specially customized and highly confidential data tablet: "I am not a psychic, and in this regard you Be professional, I need professional advice ”
".The future is limitless."
Ning Tong paused for a moment, and this man of few words began with shocking words: "This 'Song Shi', I think he has the qualifications to step into the first He has the qualifications for the fifth ring. He may even become the next Chakoluo."
Shang Qiuneng noticed that the other party's tone couldn't help but appear when the word "Chakoluo" was mentioned. A little change, like awe.
"The worst possibility is that he will be the next Chacollo Vaughn? No, it's not 'bad'."
The woman pinched her eyebrows and felt her head ache again. It hurts a little.
Despite the expensive implants and various life-sustaining surgeries, despite her biological age of nearly sixty, she has excellent physical functions and can still easily tear apart a team of ordinary soldiers, while maintaining the appearance of about forty years old - relying on With cosmetic surgeries and implants, even at the age of eighteen it is easy.
But forty is the best way to be high-spirited, sophisticated and friendly at the same time.
But after serving as the mayor of Zhuguang City for more than twelve years, sometimes even Shang Qiu would be unable to suppress the thought of "whether he is really old."
Then.
Like every time in the past, this idea was quickly crushed and extinguished.
She stood up and walked slowly to the window.
The sunlight outside the window is like a waterfall, spreading freely, coating the world below with a layer of golden light.
In some specific areas, Fubo Energy has specially replaced the outer layer of the building with a special reflective material. When the warm sunlight pours down, from a distance, these areas look like a sparkling sea. The sunlight reflected by the lake is brilliant but not dazzling - the location of these areas corresponds to several high-end resorts.
Those distinguished guests lying on the artificial beach can easily appreciate the bright ripples and even the frost-covered, pale world at the far end just by raising their eyes.
No matter how sweet the wine is, it will not be as refreshing as overlooking the suffering of others.
This wonderful scene that Casting Light City is proud of has made every distinguished guest come and go full of praise.
Shang Qiu turned his head and looked in another direction.
That's the outer city area.
To be more precise, it is the third and fourth districts of the outer city. And with the enlightened people fully stationed, there must be a question mark as to whether it is still considered the "City of Light". .
“It’s so dangerous”
Shang Qiu stared into the distance. To this day, it is difficult for her to judge whether the move of secretly contacting the Enlightened One and pulling him into Light Casting City in order to get rid of the control of Fubo Energy was a good or bad move. Difference.
No one expected that Chakoluo, who had just been promoted to the fifth ring, would choose to settle in Casting Light City as the commander-in-chief of the Enlightened Ones, and lead his members in a very beautiful raid. The third area was captured at night.
The Enlightenment and the company have been engaged in a several-year confrontation over this. With more defeats and fewer wins, the authority of Fubo Energy has indeed begun to decline - and then, not long ago, they directly pulled the Groden Glory away. come over.
Fifth Ring Psyker, Space Carrier.
Today, the situation in Forged Light City has already exceeded past predictions.
Even if the General Security Bureau sensed an opportunity and chose to strongly support her, they directly dispatched several ace agents to act as her semi-private armed force, strongly consolidating their position within the government.
The overall situation in Kezhuang Light City is still out of her control little by little.
The original plan was to use Enlightenment to contain Fubo Energy and other companies, and the Zhuguang City government took the opportunity to further break away from the latter's control and seek autonomy. It cannot be said to be a complete failure, but the price paid was extremely high. .
——The tripartite separation originally envisioned was indeed successful.
But with Chakoluo and the space carrier entering the scene one after another, the government can be said to be struggling to survive in the cracks among the so-called three parties.
After years of hard work, their authority in the conventional sense is actually not too weak, but now it seems a bit insignificant in front of the two who are getting more and more ready to go. "Ning Tong." She suddenly said.
The man looked solemn: "Here!"
"Bring back all the people from the first, second, third, and fourth districts and transfer them to the fifth district. District and District 6. No matter which one of them wins in the end, as long as we control these two outer city areas, we can catch the other party's boat - Forge Light City is big enough, and they need someone to help control it."
< br>What's more, no matter how insignificant the government of Forge Light City is in front of a fifth-ring psyker and the space carrier, they are the only governing body in the legal sense.
Both the company and the Enlightened One need this name.
The former needs to use shells to make profits, while the latter needs this name to disguise themselves - if they ignore it and directly dismantle the government, announce that Casting Light City will break away from the corporate alliance and install a new set of governing institutions.
Then, the major giants will definitely start a full-scale war without hesitation and dispatch a large amount of force into Casting Light City. In this case, the "rebels" are certainly strong, but don't giant companies have a fifth ring?
Chakoro may be able to evacuate, but Forged Light City will never be able to defend it - in a state of war, giant companies would rather tear the latter into ruins than leave anything of value to the Enlightened Ones. something.
“As for the inner city, the next stance can be tougher.”
Shang Qiu pressed the edge of the window and his voice became cold: "Those guys thought that my term was about to end, so they started to make moves."
"A bunch of hopeless government bugs! The whole city might be razed to the ground! You are still thinking about fighting for power at this time!"
She sneered: "Until the next mayor is elected, I will still be from Rocal Plains. Chief Executive! You want power so much? Then I’ll let them experience it for themselves!”
Thomas walked into the room, hesitated for a while, and then spoke in a low voice: "It's a pity that Gloria died, but this time the operation failed, our stock price has been shaken, and people's hearts have been shaken. We need you to preside over it even more."
He looked quite embarrassed, with large and small scars all over his body. In yesterday's melee, as the deputy director of safety of Fubo Energy, he was the target of public criticism. Although he was not dead, he was also seriously injured. To this day Unable to fully recover.
However, compared to Nan Xin, who was hit by Chakoro and is still lying in the intensive care unit with tubes inserted all over his body and unconscious, he is already in excellent condition.
Silence.
The man sitting on the sofa was silent, staring at the alloy square box in front of him.
——The one inside this square box is Gloria Groden.
The psyker named Song Shi, after defeating Gloria, burned her completely to ashes with psychic flames. The body that was forged at the peak of the second ring [Transcendence] in the past was only a shallow layer of ash in the box.
I don’t know how long it has been.
Maybe it’s a moment, maybe it’s a long time.
“Whether the deployment of the geothermal power plant extension is successful or not is not actually important”
The man stood up slowly, his tall body casting a blurry shadow.
“Even if I give up the entire Casting Light City, I hope that Gloria can survive.” Emmanuel picked up the box and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window: “If she can defeat Song Shi, defeat this With an opponent of this level, she can break her own 'destined death' - she is expected to step into the realm of the fifth ring and become the second person in the family's history."
"Big Brother." Thomas followed. Come up.
"Unfortunately, Gloria still failed."
As Thomas watched in shock, Emmanuel suddenly opened the window and faced the drums hundreds of stories high in the sky. In the strong wind, the opened metal box was thrown out!
Those black ashes disappeared in the wind in an instant.
"As Gloria's uncle, I am very heartbroken, and as a Groden, I feel sorry."
Emmanuel turned around, his tone slightly distorted by the whistling air: "But Ge Roden’s glory will never be dimmed by a single defeat, and it will never be pinned on any single individual! It’s just a Gloria!”
“Thomas, let people make arrangements and prepare a plan for Gloria. A grand funeral."
Emmanuel walked towards the door without looking back, only his cold voice echoed in the wind.
"Since she sacrificed her life here, there is no need to send it back to the family cemetery."
"——She will witness Groden's final victory with her own eyes!"
