Chapter 72

The survival barrier provides the most comfortable temperature and humidity for the human body, but the people in the conference room are all feeling extremely hot.

No one agreed with any of the motions, so everyone came in an hour early, checked in with one another, and voted against them.

The air was flowing, but they waited from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., a full four hours, but the damn Yuan Xu never showed up.

Four hours!

Everyone here is a local star region ruler, the local gods. Who dares to make them wait for four hours?!

But no one dared to say anything.

Because apart from Yuan Xu, the other two most important people in the military council were not there - the commander-in-chief, and the ruler of the Sirius belt, Zhen Xingchen.

Could it be that the commander-in-chief and the town commander had already taken Yuan Xu away for a private meeting?

The military council prohibited the use of any equipment. All weapons and laptops on everyone were confiscated by the secretary. They could only occasionally sneak a peek at the chairman of the military council, Leng Chengzhou, the deputy director of the secretariat.

Unfortunately, Leng Chengzhou had a poker face. For four hours, not only did he not stand, he didn't even move a muscle on his face.

Finally, a person from the secretariat hurried to Leng Chengzhou and reported in a low voice.

Those who were nearby pricked up their ears and could only vaguely catch the words "arrived at the same time".

These four words, whispered softly, quickly reached everyone's ears. One by one, the rulers turned their gaze toward the conference room door, carved with a mecha figure.

Look closely.

at the same time.

Qiao Mingjin was dressed in uniform and stood in two rows with his colleagues on the berth.

Their task was simple, to greet and guide all participants to the venue. However, only three people had not arrived at this temporary military council.

It's even simpler.

I saw two starships flying towards this side one after the other. One of them was a military starship with "Sirius" written on it, and the other was a special starship with "S" written on it. I expected that the commander of the town was sitting in the former and Admiral Yuan was sitting in the latter.

If both arrive at the same time, there will be no need for guidance - it will be much simpler.

After both starships landed and the people inside filed out, the guides in the secretariat realized that they had thought too simply.

The town commander's performance was in line with expectations. He glanced around with his usual smile, nodded, and prepared to walk towards the elevator.

Unexpectedly, the young woman behind Yuan Xu suddenly shouted, "Zhen Xingchen!"

The sound is quite nice, but it's very scary.

In such a vast galaxy, with so many star regions, who besides the commander-in-chief would dare to address the town commander by name?!

While being shocked, everyone immediately guessed the woman's identity: she was Miss Xiyuexi, the "sponsor" of this temporary military council and the instigator of pushing the supervision order to Star Network.

The secretariat had already looked through all her information and knew that she used to have a little-known nickname on Starnet - Trash Beauty.

But looking at the current situation, it might be more appropriate to change the name to "Bomb Beauty".

The guides' gazes paused on Xiyue, then turned around in unison and moved to Zhen Xingchen's face.

According to public information, Zhen Xingchen is 32 years old and was once voted by netizens as the most graceful ruler in the galaxy. At this time, he is indeed worthy of the title, and there is still a gentleman's smile in his eyes.

He turned to look towards the source of the sound.

Xiyue met his gaze without flinching. Yuanxu was unable to hold her back, so she walked over with high spirits, her skirt flying.

"Or," Xi Yue smiled, her voice a little lower, but people nearby could still hear clearly, "Should I call you Zhen Heshan?"

The smile in Zhen Xingchen's eyes suddenly disappeared, and after Xi Yue's next words, they suddenly became cold.

Xiyue smiled and looked at the guides on both sides: "Do they know that you are an awakened one?"

The Awakener... She actually knew the Awakener!

No - in a flash, Zhen Xingchen secretly shook his head in his heart. As the God of Pollution, it was not strange for him to know the existence of the awakened. The really weird thing was that she actually pointed out his identity as an awakened one!

In other words…

Zhen Xingchen swept his sharp gaze over Yuan Xu and the others, and indeed, he did not see any doubt in their expressions.

There was shock, but no doubt!

They are all awakened!

Looking at the guides at the secretariat, they all looked at each other with confused eyes, clearly not understanding Xi Yue's words. In fact, the name Zhenhe Mountain was so old that few people had heard of it.

Despite the commander's honest advice, Zhen Xingchen still had the intention to kill.

Xi Yue seemed oblivious and continued to add fuel to the fire: "You've been kidnapping and stealing for so many years, and you even brazenly conducted secret experiments on human bodies. I didn't expect you to look quite like a decent person. Could it be that when you choose your successor, you not only consider mental strength, but also appearance?"

Zhen Xingchen didn't need to do anything, two mecha soldiers jumped out of his starship, the strange gold was still flowing, and they rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

But they were stopped by Yuan Xu and Xipo.

Super S-class armor is rare, but S-class armor is not so rare. Four S-class mecha warriors collided, sparks flying.

The guides suddenly became nervous, but fortunately reinforcements arrived soon.

The sound of engines roared, and a military starship with the emblem of the Central Legion flew directly in front of Xiyue and Zhen Xingchen. The guides scattered and quickly gathered to welcome the supreme ruler of the interstellar space to walk out of the cabin.

The old man covered his white hair with his military cap, waved away the mecha soldier who tried to help him fly out of the cabin, and slowly walked down the gangway with a cane.

The first glance was given to the four S-class people, and the four of them immediately separated. While Yuan Xu turned off the mecha, he subconsciously touched his nose.

Although, the title of "Commander-in-Chief" is still quite overwhelming.

The second time he looked at Xiyue, his eyes were not kind, but revealed an indescribable meaning.

Finally, he nodded to Zhen Xingchen and said, "Let's go."

Zhen Xing's eyes were gloomy.

The commander-in-chief's appearance was so coincidental, maybe he arrived at the perfect time.

Xi Yue was thoughtful. When the commander walked to the front, she turned her eyes and found Qiao Mingjin in the crowd.

Qiao Mingjin blinked slowly.

The truth that Xiyue promised would come to light soon has already revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Xi Yue also had a clue in her mind, and exposing Zhen Xingchen's identity as an awakener in public was her way of showing her sincerity to Qiao Mingjin.

She took the opportunity to signal the guide beside Qiao Mingjin: "They all came with me to attend the meeting together."

The guide followed her gaze to Yuan Xu and the others, a puzzled look on his face. "Wait, who were you talking about attending the meeting with? Even if you are Xi Hai's daughter, the current commander of the 33rd Legion is General Yuan Xu, right?"

Xi Yue's voice was quite loud, and the commander in front must have heard it, but he didn't say anything. The guide didn't dare to stop him and let Yuan Xu and his men pass.

Yuan Xu stopped and winked at Xipo who was behind him.

Xipo gently pressed Han Yi's shoulders and said, "Let's go."

Ever since the commander left the cabin, Han Yi lowered his eyes and stopped following Xi Yue. He was always quiet, and now Xi Po felt that he was even quieter.

Xipo couldn't help but look at the commander's slightly hunched back, but felt a chill on his fingers.

For the first time, the boy took the initiative to hold his hand.

Without thinking any more, he grabbed Han Yi with his backhand and followed.

-

Conference room, everyone stand up.

The commander did not go in directly, but took off his laptop at the door and signaled the guard to search him.

With him as an example, it was difficult for others to ask for special treatment. After the body search, the commander and Zhen Xingchen walked in first. The commander took the main seat, with the meeting host Leng Chengzhou on his left and Zhen Xingchen on his right.

But Zhen Xingchen had sat down, while the commander was still standing, looking outside the door.

Xiyue and his group did not come in for a long time.

Yuan Xu gritted his teeth and only moved his lips, whispering, "What do you want to do now?"

Xi Yue pretended not to hear and glanced at the various faces around the round table one by one. Finally, she smiled and raised her voice.

“There are so many people.”

“It’s really lively.”

This caused another round of staring at each other in confusion, and attracted many disgusted looks.

Even though Yuan Xu was thick-skinned and had skilled acting skills acquired through centuries of experience, he could hardly keep a smile on his face.

Fortunately, Xiyue did not dawdle any longer. She walked briskly to the only empty seat at the round table and sat down directly.

The two rulers nearby were shocked and subconsciously stepped aside. One of them immediately reacted and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Is this a place for a worthless citizen to sit?!"

Xiyue slowly adjusted her skirt before raising her eyelids: "I am a garbage citizen. I sat down, so the answer to your question is, you can sit down."

Zhen Xingchen let out a low, cold laugh from his throat: "Well, do you want me to add a few more chairs for you?"

"As expected of a thousand-year-old dog, how considerate. But no thanks, I have the final say in this meeting regarding the 33rd Legion."

"You!" Zhen Xingchen lost all his composure and his face turned ashen.

However, the commander-in-chief spoke at the same time: "Yuan Xu, you are the commander of the 33rd Legion. Do you agree with Xi Yue's statement?"

Yuan Xu was filled with bitterness.

I had thought that no matter how turbulent this meeting was, it would proceed smoothly with the Commander-in-Chief's presence. After all, the agenda had to be approved by the Commander-in-Chief. But Xiyue didn't play by the rules at all and started to provoke Zhen Xingchen before it even started.

You know, although only Zhen Xingchen came to the Sirius Belt, he ruled over a total of 24 star regions after all!

The code stipulates that every senior officer above the rank of general has the right to vote in the military council, which means that Zhen Xingchen holds more than a quarter of the votes!

Besides, how many of the other rulers of the star belts around the table didn't act according to Zhen Xingchen's instructions? If Zhen Xingchen didn't vote, how many would dare to vote?

No matter how secretive the commander's identity is, no matter how many things he can do, in the eyes of those who don't know the truth, he is already old. And Zhen Xingchen is in his prime, and he has trained Leng Chengzhou, who is very likely to succeed the commander!

Even Yuan Xu would have to think carefully before offending Zhen Xingchen, but Xiyue just stomped on the other party's face and attacked without giving him any face at all!

A thousand-year-old dog?

She really dares to scold!

He could criticize Xiyue in his heart, but he certainly couldn't backstab her at this moment. Yuan Xu raised the corner of his mouth stiffly: "That's right, what Miss Xi meant is what I meant."

It caused a lot of contempt.

Commander: "Then sit down and start."

After everyone was seated, Xiyue complained again: "I almost forgot, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a good virtue for young people of all ages. Um, bring a chair over for my brother."

This "brother" of course does not refer to Xipo, but Han Yi.

Han Yi did not stubbornly call "Mom". With an expressionless face, he let Xi Yue pull him to his side.

After repeatedly defying the authority of the Military Council, the meeting host Leng Chengzhou could no longer maintain his poker face and frowned, shouting, "Xiyue!"

But the commander said calmly: "Add it."

The chair was quickly added, and Han Yi sat on it without saying a word, lowered his head, and held Xiyue's hand.

Leng Chengzhou took one last glance and turned to look at his subordinates standing by the wall.

The subordinate nodded, indicating that the signal and sound blockers were activated.

Leng Chengzhou looked at another subordinate, who made a gesture and several secretarial staff came up with a stack of documents and distributed them to each participant.

The highest-level meeting used paper that was extremely precious in the interstellar world.

Each person has two, one for the agenda and the other for the voting ballot.

Leng Chengzhou first said some nonsense at the beginning of the meeting, and then got straight to the point: "I believe everyone has read the agenda. Whether you agree or not, everyone should express their opinions one by one, and then vote..."

Before he could finish, Zhen Xingchen glanced at the person next to him intentionally or unintentionally.

The man immediately interrupted Leng Chengzhou and said in a very aggressive tone: "Let me say first, I don't agree! No matter which one!"

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and immediately more people jumped out.

"I don't agree either!"

"Who the hell is the 33rd Legion? They don't even take the Interstellar Code seriously, and yet they dare to threaten the Central Government?!"

"The supervisory order should have been enforced long ago!"

"Commander, everyone, once this door is opened, anyone will dare to use force to provoke internal strife and threaten interstellar stability!"

"Which legion can resist pollution peacefully?"

…

The words were heated and the atmosphere was in uproar.

Yuan Xu stood behind Xi Yue and sighed when he saw this.

Just tell me, why did you want to offend Zhen Xingchen to death? Now that the central government has fed you the meat right in front of you, you can't even bite it...

Suddenly, I heard Xi Yue slam the table.

Bang!

The whole audience fell silent.

Yuan Xu was completely stunned. Who the hell dared to slam the table in front of the commander?!

But Xiyue smiled, raised her hand, blew gently into her palm, and then opened her red lips again.

"Bang."

Everyone at the table was stunned until the most advanced and sensitive pollution detector sounded a sharp alarm.

Yuan Xu: ...grass.

No matter how much I planned, I never expected Xiyue to cause pollution in such a place and on such an occasion!

Everyone jumped off their chairs at the same time as if there were catapults under their buttocks.

"pollute!"

"Quick, get the mecha!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

In the chaotic scene, Leng Chengzhou had already jumped onto the round table and kicked open the door of the equipment room in the corner of the conference room at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

All participants' mecha boxes, weapons and optical computers are stored here.

At this point, only the gray hole was visible; the detectors detected contaminated radiation, not contaminated gases. The surroundings were clearly visible, and everyone saw Leng Chengzhou's actions and rushed into the equipment room.

There were a very small number of people who, perhaps relying on their S-level mental strength, sat in their seats without moving.

The commander-in-chief, Zhenxing Chen, and the rulers of several other star regions all focused their attention on Xiyue.

They noticed the short syllable uttered by Xiyue - "bang", and then the alarm sounded.

What a coincidence?

The three people behind Xi Yue and the boy next to her who looked only seven or eight years old did not move at all, as if they did not care about the outbreak of pollution at all.

It must not be a coincidence.

The legend of the God of Pollution wasn't widely known, nor was it widely believed, except for the few people who remained at the table. Almost simultaneously, these four words came to mind: God of Pollution.

Leng Chengzhou was the first to rush into the equipment room and the first to put on his mecha, but he was not the first to come out.

He was trapped inside by the crowd.

By the time he could no longer bear it and used the spiral cannon to clear a path and returned to the table, the extremely dense gray shadow on the round table had already exploded silently.

Special instructions, level one contamination, instantly engulfed the entire conference room.
