Chapter 25 Establishment of the Pasifica Federation Xu Lingzhao established the federation; ...

When Xu Lingzhao entered dressed in the uniform of the commander-in-chief, she could clearly feel the stagnation in the air and the surprise and anger of her former "old friends." She calmly sat down in the main seat, her gloved fingers crossed in front of her chest, and scanned everyone with her golden eyes. The mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of evil and imposing authority.

Seeing this, Huo Qingshan first looked at Ji Yao's reaction, but she drank her hot tea without any reaction. Everyone immediately realized that this was a trap.

Chu Jingyi tried to stand up and leave, but found himself unable to rise due to the pressure of mental energy. The others, on the other hand, also had flushed faces. This show of force made everyone present look grim. However, it also gave them time to think.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Lingzhao reduced the pressure of her mental energy. She looked at everyone and spoke in an absolute leadership manner: "I believe everyone is clear about the purpose of this meeting. I am here not for infighting, but... to end infighting."

"During our endless infighting, the Zerg have quietly grown in strength, and some Zerg have even developed intelligence and mental abilities. If we continue like this, there will only be one outcome. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. You all understand this better than I do."

After speaking, Xu Lingzhao gestured to He Zaining beside him to send the data to their personal computers. His clear voice then reached everyone: "This is a set of data I compiled. Each person's is different. Please take a look."

Huo Qingshan opened the encrypted document on his personal computer. Inside, he found scandalous secrets that the Huo family must never reveal. He straightened his clothes, picked up the water glass beside him, and took a sip. He didn't even notice his trembling fingers. He lowered his head and glanced at the person next to him.

Without exception, they all put on a show of feigned composure, and after a long while, they all turned off their personal computer screens.

Mo Zhang, the head of the Mo family, had a gloomy face. He leaned back in his chair, snorted coldly, and looked at Xu Lingzhao: "You think you can threaten me with just a document of dubious authenticity? You're delusional." He swung the water glass on the table to the ground, and the ear-piercing sound of shattering glass echoed in the meeting room. The sound of the glass shards pierced everyone's hearts like needles.

Seeing this, the others also adopted a disdainful attitude: "I've been through so much in my life, I'm not afraid of this stuff."

"......"

"Is that so?" Xu Lingzhao raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not refute their words, but continued, "Whether the document is real or fake, everyone here knows better than I do. However, at the same time you received this document, your bases and families have already been protected by Pasifica and Sitias."

"Whether they live or die is uncertain; I cannot guarantee it."

Just as Mo Zhang was about to get angry, his personal computer received another communication, which was a photo—his family members were sitting on a sofa with guns pointed at them by fully armed planetary soldiers.

"You're shameless!"

"Xu Lingzhao, you despicable scoundrel!"

"Don't get so excited. I'm just learning from the seniors." Xu Lingzhao stood up, left the main seat, and slowly walked to Mo Zhang's side. He placed his hand on Mo Zhang's shoulder and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Of course, there are other options."

She raised her voice: "If you don't want to cooperate with me, I won't force you. It's just that the Zerg's power is growing, and Hiteas, who controls the core technology, will no longer provide you with any assistance."

“Similarly, your weapons bases will be destroyed the second after you step out of this conference room,” Xu Lingzhao said with a “bang.” She continued, “

Faced with the blatant threat, the anger on Chu Jingyi and the others' faces disappeared, replaced by contemplation. He Zaining distributed a draft alliance contract to everyone present, and Xu Lingzhao returned to the main seat. She glanced at Ji Yao sitting on her left, who looked drowsy.

Xu Lingzhao kicked her, and Ji Yao opened her eyes, yawning, "Is it over? I'm going to be with my wife." Meeting Xu Lingzhao's deep gaze, she touched her nose and muttered, "It's not over yet, why did you kick me?"

Chu Jingyi flipped through the paper document. The content was roughly about joining Xu Lingzhao's Pasifica Federation. There was a small note explaining that, for ease of future management, the political system would remain a federal system.

Not signing means certain death, signing means being half-dead. Chu Jingyi weighed the options in his mind, knowing there was always a chance to make a comeback in the future. For now, he needed to back down. He glanced inadvertently at the blonde female Alpha sitting in the main seat. In just four years, she had risen from a second lieutenant in the East District to this position.

He underestimated her; he should have killed her back then.

Chu Jingyi turned to the last page of the document, and the "click" of him opening his pen cap was particularly clear in the quiet meeting room, drawing everyone's attention.

After he neatly signed his name at the signature line, he closed his pen and looked calmly at the person in the main seat. Seeing this, the others who were still hesitating signed their names one after another.

This is a battle without gunfire. From any perspective, cooperation is the best option to maximize benefits. Under the Zerg invasion, no individual or organization can remain unaffected.

Today, even without Xu Lingzhao, there would be Li Lingzhao and Chen Lingzhao, and there would be a massive and brutal civil war. At that time, even the victors would not be able to avoid huge losses after the war. How could the devastated Federation after the war possibly have the strength to fight against the evolved Zerg?

Civil war is nothing more than a product of power struggles, but in the current situation, civil war should not occur; cooperation is the only viable outcome.

After watching them sign the documents, Xu Lingzhao revealed a faint smile. This was an initial victory, but she could not afford to be complacent: "Signing the contract is equivalent to acknowledging that I, Xu Lingzhao, am the supreme commander of Pasifica. Welcome to Pasifica. However, anyone who violates the terms of the contract will be executed without exception."

"Yes, Commander." Chu Jingyi took the lead in standing up, placing his right fist above his left chest, bowing his head, and adopting a posture of absolute submission.

"Yes, Commander." The others all stood up and saluted, facing Xu Lingzhao with the same unwavering composure.

Xu Lingzhao also stood up, placing his left fist above his right chest in response.

With this, Xu Lingzhao officially became the commander of the Federation.

At the end of the meeting, the attendees briefly discussed future goals, and Xu Lingzhao also proposed that their families be released after the enthronement ceremony.

"By the way, everyone, I have already planted a mental imprint in your minds. I hope you will take care of yourselves. Meeting adjourned." Xu Lingzhao said these chilling words with a half-smile.

A spiritual imprint is extremely difficult to implant, yet she did it silently! But no one dared to object, and they left the conference room as Xu Lingzhao requested.

After they left, Xu Lingzhao rubbed her temples: "I'm really tired." She looked at the ceiling, which was covered with intricate patterns. Busy days were about to begin, and the power structure within the Federation urgently needed to be reorganized.

After He Zaining deactivated the signal jammer, Xu Lingzhao's personal computer displayed a communication message from Lu Qianxue: "You can take a look at the details first. Attached: Test report."

Xu Lingzhao's finger hovered over the light screen before finally clicking on the test report about Chu Jingze.

Inside the starship.

Xu Lingzhao sat on the soft seat, one hand supporting her forehead. She needed to get to Pasifica as quickly as possible to find Chu Jingze, and also... to settle accounts with Pei Zhenwei.

She never expected that Pei Zhenwei would reveal Chu Jingze's exact location, leading to his kidnapping. During the kidnapping, Chu Jingze injured his head, and the powerful mental suppression further damaged his mental strength, causing him to lose his memory.

Xu Lingzhao closed her eyes and sighed silently. What she cared about most were those three words: depression. She regretted not discovering it sooner and not spending more time with him.

Xu Lingzhao recalled the details of their time together, remembering how Chu Jing would often lie quietly in bed, always shedding tears in her arms, and only speaking after she had comforted him for a long time.

Xu Lingzhao recalled that it always seemed like she had to guide Chu Jingze slowly before he would express his displeasure. She blamed herself for not giving Chu Jingze enough time.

Putting yourself in her shoes, if her lover were away for several years and only came back to spend a few days with her before leaving again, with no idea what he was doing or who he was meeting, she would also feel insecure and suspicious.

Xu Lingzhao felt guilty towards Chu Jingze. She had forcibly kept him by her side without giving him the companionship and love he deserved. Especially since Omega's heat cycle was very difficult, Chu Jingze always used suppressants to get through it. He was a sensitive person, and at this moment she just wanted to get to Chu Jingze's side as soon as possible.

She missed him terribly.

Inside the villa.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Chu Jing felt somewhat lost. Ling Qianzhu had left in a hurry after bringing him here, leaving behind many planetary guards at the villa.

He looked at the captain of the guards beside him and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Madam, my name is Bai Feng."

"Please sit down." Chu Jing sat down on the sofa, and Bai Feng sat down opposite him with a restrained expression.

"Do you know Xu Lingzhao?" Chu Jing looked at the male Alpha opposite him. He should know him, right? Based on his guess, Ling Qianzhu and Xu Lingzhao should be very close. And the person who asked Ling Qianzhu to stay behind to protect him should know something about Xu Lingzhao, right? He didn't know why he was so eager to learn about the person who was called his partner.

Bai Feng was somewhat surprised that he would ask these questions. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell Chu Jingze everything he knew about Xu Lingzhao: "Well... Speaker Xu... Pasifica wasn't called that before, it was called West District. Speaker Xu and Minister Ling came to West District four years ago. They started from the bottom and did the most dangerous jobs. The mortality rate was very low, so at that time, everyone was happy to deal with Speaker Xu. She is very strong."

"Later, after gaining the appreciation of the former West Commander, she quickly rose to the rank of colonel. However, during one mission, out of 300 Planetary Force soldiers, she was the only one who survived. Everyone thought she was dead, but not long after, she returned. She killed the West Commander, seized power, and founded the current Pasifica. I was the first person to stand up and support her!"

"......"

Bai Feng recounted Xu Lingzhao's story in detail, and finally, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Back then, I also saw you at the headquarters of Pasifica, but you were there as an adjutant next to Speaker Xu. Everyone was very surprised, as Speaker Xu never gets close to any Omega, and you were the first."

"After that, I never saw Speaker Xu again until I saw you just now. It suddenly dawned on me that you were not the adjutant but Speaker Xu's wife."

Chu Jing listened attentively to Bai Feng's story. Xu Lingzhao was very strong, and seemed to treat him very well. "Wife..." he murmured. Seeing his thoughtful expression, Bai Feng quietly withdrew.

After a long while, Chu Jing got up and went to the master bedroom on the second floor. He pushed open the door and went in, and found a small red box on the bedside table. He walked over and opened the box.
