NOVEL WEB Chapter 284 Fire
"Sir Speaker, have these five base cities been decided a long time ago? Have they been decided when I was still serving as the chief minister of the Daxia Cabinet?"
In the office of the Speaker of the Federal Parliament, Fang Xuanming looked panicked and full of exhaustion, and asked behind Zi Shou.
Although Zi Shou's expression was not as panicked as Fang Xuanming's, his eyes were full of unconcealable worry.
The seal of the Holy Mountain was destroyed, and the devil's blood sea returned to the world.
According to the energy detector of the federal military, the energy level of the Demonic Blood Sea is constantly rising.
At first, it was only at the level of a seventh-level human warrior.
Now, it has broken through the eighth level and is approaching the ninth level.
What is the concept of ninth level?
This is a state that few people in history can achieve!
There is no ninth-level warrior alive in the world today!
The appearance of the demon servant is already the worst possible situation.
However, a space-time wormhole appeared that could lead directly to the demon world. From the demon world, the winged army began to attack the human world on a large scale.
The sea of blood spreads on the ground, and the winged men invade from the sky.
This is a desperate situation for everyone.
According to the latest news, the Sacred Mountain Province of Daxia has been captured by the Yiren army.
All this seems to have been planned in advance.
Zishou was able to make a plan to activate the Iron Curtain in the shortest possible time, and his foresight cannot but be admired.
Because of Zishou's decisive response, all countries have now sent powerful troops to rescue the young warriors training in the Holy Mountain!
The provinces of Daxia have also launched rescue operations and quickly established the [Final Defense Force] to ensure that those who have obtained the quota can be transferred to the base city smoothly and safely!
In fact, more than a hundred years ago, when Zishou proposed the "Hundred Years War" plan, he boldly predicted:
Because of [The Great Emperor's] weak policies, sooner or later the demon world will invade the human world on a large scale.
Now, Zishou's prediction has come true, but the reality is even more desperate!
"Xuan Ming, what do you think is the first advantage you must have if you want to become a base city?"
Zi Shou suddenly spoke.
Fang Xuanming was stunned when he heard this and said:
"Is...is he a human?"
Zishou nodded and said:
"What you said is good, but it's not quite accurate."
“If a city wants to become a base city, the first thing it must have is the carrying capacity of a high-quality population!”
"The so-called high-quality population, simply put, is warriors."
"Powerful warriors, talented warriors, warriors with potential..."
"If we want to continue the fire of human civilization, we must rely on the power of warriors."
Zi Shou looked out the window and saw countless aircraft flying rapidly across the sky with warning lights flashing.
"Land, food, energy, various mineral materials..."
"If you want to become a base city, you must have a lot of resources to be able to bear the heavy consumption of the warrior population."
“But fundamentally, it’s all about serving people.”
Zishou paused for a moment and then said:
"In other words, everything is to serve the warriors."
When Fang Xuanming heard this, his eyes trembled slightly:
"However, warriors only account for less than 10% of the total population of the Human Federation!"
Zishou was silent after hearing this, and finally shook his head and said:
"Not 10%."
"It's 10% of the 10%."
Fang Xuanming's expression froze, and he froze on the spot.
…
Jiangnan Province, Jinning City, Provincial Military Department.
"Now I finally understand why the imperial capital has a policy of restricting entry."
In the imperial capital, warriors below the third level cannot enter alone.
"It's actually preparing for the Sky Iron Curtain Project."
Luo Shi stood in the middle of the combat command room and spoke slowly to the other soldiers.
They haven't slept all day and night.
At this time, a middle-aged soldier approached Luo Shi holding a screen.
"Old Chief, the list of qualifications for our Jiangnan Province to enter the imperial capital was announced yesterday."
When Luo Shi heard this, his eyes trembled slightly and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
The other military warriors in the combat command room tensed up unconsciously.
Cold sweat broke out on the palms of the hands, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
The qualification list determines whether one's family can enter the imperial base city.
The middle-aged soldier approached Luo Shi and whispered:
"Old chief, you have obtained the qualification."
"And you can bring one relative with you without any conditions."
"You and your granddaughter are saved!"
When Luo Shi heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but staggered.
The middle-aged man quickly supported him and then said:
"Old chief, military helicopters have been prepared and evacuation work has begun."
"I have also sent someone to pick up your granddaughter. You should leave as soon as possible."
Luo Shi nodded at this time, suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"How is the final defense force organized? I'm going to meet them."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he shook his head and refused and said:
"forget it."
Luo Shi said firmly:
"I am the Minister of Military Affairs of Jiangnan Province!"
"I must know who is guarding the last Jiangnan Province!"
The Central and Southern soldiers smiled bitterly:
"You have retired, just let me do these jobs."
"I heard that the sea of blood has spread to the eastern part of Sichuan Province. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Jiangnan Province is attacked."
"You'd better take your granddaughter and leave quickly."
"You have to think about her. What will she do without you?"
When Luo Shi heard this, he glanced at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression.
The middle-aged man named Xie Min is Luo Shi's successor and the new Minister of Military Affairs of Jiangnan Province.
Luo Shi closed his eyes and sighed, saying:
"Okay...it's up to you, I'll leave now."
At this time, countless helicopters had docked at the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"Without further delay, although the Wingman's advancement speed is not as fast as the spread of the demon servant's blood sea, we must start the transfer work immediately!"
"Citizens who have obtained the quota to go to the Imperial Capital Base City, please line up in an orderly manner and take the rescue helicopter to leave!"
Although people who got the quota were anxious, they were eager to board the plane as soon as possible.
However, under the command of military warriors, the most basic order was maintained.
At this time, Luo Shi had already brought his granddaughter to the airport.
The little girl opened her eyes wide, as if she still couldn't understand the situation in front of her.
Luo Shi held the little girl's hand and, led by a military warrior, came to a helicopter.
At this time, a voice came from behind Luo Shi:
"Minister Luo?"
Luo Shi turned around and saw a boy with fair skin and a military uniform looking at him.
"Young man, are you...Yunchen's?"
Luo Shi suddenly remembered. The boy in front of him was Yunchen's classmate.
Lu Yingcai nodded and said, "My name is Lu Yingcai."
Luo Shi nodded and said:
"I remembered that you were from No. 1 Middle School in Suhai City. When you took the independent martial arts exam, your scores were pretty good."
"You can get a place to go to the imperial base city. It seems that you have worked hard after going to college."
Lu Yingcai was about to answer when suddenly, a signal flare rose in the distant western sky!
Across the province, sirens are sounding!
The expressions of Luo Shi and Lu Yingcai changed!
"Has the blood sea of demon servants approached Jiangnan Province?!"
Jiangnan Province combat command room.
"Report! The power system in Jiangnan Province has been completely paralyzed!"
"Use backup power!"
The middle-aged soldier, the new minister Xie Min, was sweating profusely at this moment and commanding:
"Let all units fight with all their strength!"
"We must buy enough time for the rescue operation!"
"Order the final defense forces on the front line and all units to report the situation!"
In the combat command room, Xie Min said loudly.
"Report, the first unit has lost contact!"
"..."
"Report, more than half of the 2nd unit's casualties!"
"..."
"Report, the 4th Unit has been in contact with the Sea of Blood..."
"..."
"Report, the second unit has lost contact..."
The destructive power of the blood sea is beyond everyone’s imagination!
Big beads of sweat broke out on Xie Min's forehead. His brain was on the verge of shutting down and he didn't even know what to do next!
"Minister Xie, please give instructions on the next step!"
"Thank you, Minister!"
Xie Min seemed to be unable to hear the outside world, and his whole body was stiff.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the combat command room, walked directly to Xie Min, and took the communication machine from his hand:
"All the Final Defense Forces will be reorganized and deployed in accordance with the following orders..."
Xie Min looked at Luo Shi who was calmly issuing military orders beside him, and said with a surprised expression:
"Minister Luo, what are you doing..."
Everyone in the combat command room was stunned.
After issuing a series of military orders, Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the table with some exhaustion, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter smile:
"It's really tiring to say so much in one breath. People are old and no longer useful."
Xie Min finally came to his senses and said loudly:
"Old chief! What are you doing?!"
"Let's go quickly! Go to the Imperial Capital Base City!!"
Luo Shi looked at Xie Min and smiled:
"Xiao Xie, don't get excited."
"An old guy like me will only become a burden to young people even if he goes to the imperial capital."
"It's my job to stay here and buy time to rescue more people."
After saying that, Luo Shi patted Xie Min on the shoulder, smiled relievedly, and said:
"Besides, I can't leave you behind."
Xie Min's lips trembled slightly at this time and he said:
"But, your granddaughter..."
A trace of wavering flashed in Luo Shi's eyes, and then he said in a firm tone:
"I'm relieved. When she arrives in the imperial capital, someone will take care of her..."
At this time, the lights in the command room suddenly flickered.
"The backup power supply is almost exhausted!"
After Luo Shi said this, he immediately turned to face the big screen in the command room, and used the communication machine to say to all the final defense forces in Jiangnan Province:
"I am Luo Shi, Minister of Military and Armed Forces of Jiangnan Province!"
"To all members of the Jiangnan Provincial Military and Armed Forces Department, the rescue operation is underway! Please follow the deployment plan and do your best to gain time."
"What we want to preserve is the hope of civilization and the fire of civilization!"
"I will fight side by side with you until the last moment!"
"Backup power is about to be depleted and this order will not be repeated."
“Thank you again for your decades of sincere cooperation!”
"Gentlemen, we are destined, see you again..."
