Chapter 76 Undercurrent

Dongzhou

The Dawn Army is busy fighting the federal government.

Occupying a territory does not mean that one has completed the rule.

As the ruling party, the federal government was naturally not inferior in combat power. Although it was caught off guard by the Dawn Army at the beginning, it quickly reacted and began to counterattack. The two sides could not determine the winner for a while.

However, in this case, the federal government has a potential advantage over the ill-named Dawn Army.

That is "orthodoxy", and deep-rooted social support.

Even if the federal government is not a perfect government, most people would not be happy with a strange organization suddenly emerging to take over the government. Moreover, underground organizations are already unknown in Dongzhou.

The longer the time drags on, the better it will be for the federal government. The Dawn Army cannot block and control the information channels of Dongzhou for a long time.

Because they did not want to introduce uncertain mass factors without having an absolute advantage, the Dawn Army controlled the interior of Dongzhou and blocked the news of their capture of the government.

At present, the ordinary people in Dongzhou only know that the federal government building was attacked late at night, and the specific circumstances are unknown. As for the occupation of the government that took place closer, they are completely unaware. The few people who know the inside story tried to stir up trouble, but they were quickly controlled by the Dawn Army.

However, this is all temporary. Once the situation drags on, it will be difficult for the public not to become suspicious and focus their attention on the government's strange behavior.

Fortunately, so far, the federal government of Dongzhou also does not want the masses to get involved and has maintained a tacit silence with the Dawn Army.

At this critical moment, the vanguard returned.

The Dawn Army's Dongzhou Headquarters counted the number of wounded and dispatched members who were still capable of fighting to provide support to various locations.

After consulting with the intruders such as Ji Weihang, they were asked to go and support the government of the continent where Ling Si was.

The black hole teleported them directly into the controlled continental government.

The provincial government is a simple, solemn and gentle off-white building. Its suburban location gives it a large area, and the green park surrounding it is a natural barrier separating the inside and the outside.

Starting from the four gates of the park in the east, west, south and north, and ending at the main gate of the government, the wide road crosses the park. Other small paths are left for pedestrians who want to visit the green tree park by bike or on foot.

At this time, outside the government area, people in the park have already plunged into the natural beauty of the park, reluctant to leave. No matter what their purpose was when they came, they have now forgotten everything.

People in the government building area surrounded all entrances and exits. The male commander at the main gate had someone use a loudspeaker to pass a message inside, demanding the release of the hostages.

"Listen, everyone inside. You are surrounded! Release the hostages, lay down your weapons, and come out to surrender! You have no chance of winning!"

Their teleportation point is set on the first floor of the government building.

The office lobby is spacious and tidy, with an overall high-ceiling design and light strips embedded in the walls that match the overall design style.

The sounds outside the building floated clearly in through the door, but the people inside ignored them.

Ji Weihang looked around.

The original office was now turned into a temporary detention center. Through the transparent glass, the slightly panicked faces and uneasy expressions of government officials were clearly visible. They were all ordinary people who were not injured.

There are several members of the Dawn Army guarding the teleportation point and the hostages on the first floor.

After learning Lingsi's current location from the guard, Selma called them, "Let's go and find our eldest sister."

This time, only the invaders and Selma came to support the Zhou government. Ji Weihang believed that the Dawn Army was very confident.

Although there were only thirty-two Dawn Army members in the building.

The group went to take the elevator. Fu Xuan approached Selma and asked curiously, "I heard that Gui Yan has made a contribution. Do you know what it is?"

As the team leader, Selma was always busy handing over prisoners, cleaning the building and other things. No one in the team would be so ignorant as to chat with her. She had never heard of this and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Shi Mingnan, who had not said much, answered.

"I heard that she used her ability as a weapon refiner to make a tool that helped Ling Si control 80% of the superhumans in the Zhou government."

"Awesome." Selma praised it when she heard about this for the first time.

If it is a superhuman ability, such an ability is at least A-level, and it will also put a great burden on the body. And Gui Yan made such an item in a short time, so of course it is amazing.

Shi Mingnan said: "She is very powerful. I heard that someone wanted to become her disciple but she refused."

Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow at Wei Hang.

Weihang smiled back.

The elevator was just in front of them. Selma held the door to let them in. Weihang was the first to stand at the corner of the elevator.

Just as Fu Xuan was about to enter the elevator and stand next to Wei Hang, Su Yunling took a big step ahead of her and stood next to Wei Hang.

Pretending not to notice Fu Xuan's look, Su Yunling said to Shi Mingnan: "Senior sister, you are well-informed. Have you made a lot of friends?"

Fu Xuan withdrew his speechless gaze and stood on the other side of Wei Hang.

Yang Xia looked at them with complicated eyes and stood next to Fu Xuan.

Entering the elevator and standing next to the button, Shi Mingnan replied, "It won't hurt to make more friends. I'm not like them. I can leave after completing the task. If I quit, of course I have to find another job, otherwise I won't have food to eat."

Shi Mingnan was originally a person who was executed, and he had been involved in cage matters in the Werner Group. He had a grudge against this group of Ling Si's "confidants". It was always a bit awkward for him to follow Wei Hang and the others in the Dawn Army, so he spoke less and did less.

After fighting side by side with the Dawn Army at the Federal Government Building, her relationship with the Dawn Army had improved a lot. In addition, she was willing to work hard to cultivate the relationship, and there were a few people who didn't mind chatting with her.

"Indeed." Su Yunling said with a smile, "What I fear most is joining a new company with unfinished work from my previous job. It would be embarrassing if my old boss came to see me."

"Haha." Shi Mingnan smiled, "Fu Zhui won't look for me."

The elevator ran quietly, and everyone present was a smart person, so they would not fail to notice the turbulent weather in the air.

The conversation between the two aroused the memory of Su Yunling in Ji Weihang's mind, and relevant information emerged.

——Shi Mingnan is an undercover agent of the Robot Faction who is waiting to be killed.

Ji Weihang seemed to be lost in thought. Did Su Yunling tell her this deliberately because she thought she should know about it?

Why does this concern her?

Thinking about Shi Mingnan's behavior when they first met... Could it be that Shi Mingnan was targeting her from the very beginning?

With a "ding dong" sound, we reached the fifth floor.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw Ling Si approaching and Gui Yan and Li Wenxin behind her.

Ji Weihang put away his thoughts and decided that Shi Mingnan’s matter could be discussed later and that he would deal with Gui Yan first.

As the two parties approached, Gui Yan stared into Ji Weihang's eyes and raised her eyebrows provocatively.

Hmm? So confident? Ji Weihang concluded that Gui Yan had done something to make him give up killing her, otherwise, she wouldn't be so confident.

Fu Xuan's attention had always been on Gui Yan. When he saw this scene, his heart tightened, but quickly relaxed.

This is fine...

When the two parties met, Li Wenxin, who was at the end, suddenly bumped into Gui Yan.

"I'm sorry." Li Wenxin apologized.

Gui Yan glanced at her and snorted coldly.

This attitude further confirmed the guess in Wei Hang and Fu Xuan's hearts that she must be completely sure of saving her life.

Otherwise, why would she have this attitude when Li Wenxin bumped into her, and not even carefully check if anything had been done to her body?

Wei Hang took the opportunity to let his spiritual sense climb up to the back of Gui Yun's neck.

Ling Si greeted them and first asked Selma about the details of the vanguard. Although he had heard the report, it was not as intuitive as what he said in person, so he gave the intruders some time to chat.

Su Yunling approached Gui Yan, who was standing alone by the window, and started chatting with her: "Sister Gui Yan, are you injured? I heard that you have made great contributions. Can you refine weapons here? Don't you need special materials?"

Glancing at Su Yunling, Gui Yan simply responded, "Yeah."

Su Yunling didn't care about her indifference and said with a smile: "Sister Gui Yan, do you know anything about artificial intelligence...?"

Listening to the conversation over there, Wei Hang also realized that Su Yunling was potentially threatening him and exchanging interests with him.

Wei Hang would not hinder her and Lilith, and she would not hinder Wei Hang and Gui Yan.

As for how Su Yunling knew the importance of Gui Yan, it could be her own guess, or she could have learned it from Lilith.

This approach also implicitly equates the two things, indicating that what she is about to do has nothing to do with the game.

Just like the grudge between Weihang and Guiyan has nothing to do with the game.

Yes. Ji Weihang smiled at Su Yunling.

Su Yunling also smiled. Following Ling Si's words, she ended her conversation with Gui Yan.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ling Si said to them, "If it weren't for your help this time, the losses would be immeasurable if the S-level fight broke out."

The two sides exchanged a few polite words. Then, Ling Si got to the point, explained the next major action, and asked about their intentions for where to go.

In order to completely occupy Dongzhou, the Dawn Army has a lot to do.

First, the combat power within the continent must be controlled, such as the superhumans who cooperate with the government and the Super Management Bureau, the gods whose positions are unclear, and the underground organizations operating secretly within the continent. This requires members with strong combat power.

Secondly, control the communication with the outside world. This requires a group of people with suitable abilities to control each channel and try not to affect the lives of ordinary people. There are already suitable Dawn Army members doing this.

Finally, we need to control public opinion and avoid mass riots. The Dawn Army does not want to have conflicts with ordinary people, but when necessary, it is necessary to use force to clear obstacles and control riots. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain daily order. Therefore, a group of people with strong reaction speed and strong control of emotions and strength are needed to work in various streets.

They all have strong combat capabilities, at least able to protect themselves, and need to contribute to improve their rankings, so they all unanimously choose to join the front-line combat team.

As for their pendants, Yang Xia and Shi Mingnan, they naturally went with them.

"You'd better separate us." Gui Yan said to Ling Si, "Otherwise, next time we meet, you will only see one of us."

Ling Si glanced at Ji Weihang and slowly opened his mouth.

Regardless of whether Ling Si was going to agree or refuse, Ji Weihang had already controlled the spiritual consciousness attached to Gui Yan, pulled her into his hands, and broke through the wall without saying a word.

Ling Si stretched out her hand, but Fu Xuan quickly stepped in front of her and said in a gentle voice, "Please do not interfere in personal grudges."

"I didn't mean to interfere." Ling Si raised his hand, revealing the small blue star instrument on his palm. "Gui Yan said before that if you catch her, she will show you this."

Most of the Blue Star Instrument is blue, representing the color of sea water, with thin red threads wriggling on the blue, intertwining and entangled into complex runes.

Fu Xuan took a look and his expression changed slightly.

"If you kill me, Lingsi will die too!" Gui Yan's voice came over, complacent.

"I have linked Lingsi's life to my own. If you kill me, the Asuka camp will lose!"

Wei Hang pinched her neck and turned to look at the Blue Star Instrument in Ling Si's hand.

That's true.

Ling Si also heard it, and suddenly realized, "I see." He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to interfere with you."

"...It's okay, it's not your problem." Although she said so, Fu Xuan actually knew she was lying. The blood curse required two people's willing blood to work. Ling Si couldn't have not known that.

But there is no need to speak out.

"So what?" Ji Weihang looked at Gui Yun in his hand and said coldly, "Can Ling Si alone decide the outcome of the Fei Niao camp?"

Gui Yan stared at her, her expression no longer calm and confident, but somewhat uncertain.

Ji Weihang ignored Gui Yun's thoughts, separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness, and forced it into Gui Yun's mind.

Gui Yan tried to resist but to no avail. She could only watch her spiritual consciousness silently merge into her sea of consciousness.

The body did not feel the slightest discomfort, as if it was extremely harmless, but Gui Yan suddenly became angry and said angrily: "What are you doing?! You can kill me or chop me up as you please, why do you mark me?"

Ji Weihang said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Gui Yan took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and said coldly: "I'm not in a hurry, we'll see who kills who when the time comes."

This is called sea of consciousness marking. Generally, it is used by elders to mark their children, or mothers to mark their sons. It can not only locate the other party when needed, but also confirm the other party's life safety.

Only extremely close people would bury their spiritual consciousness in the sea of consciousness of other cultivators.

If there is no blood relationship, this behavior will be strongly rejected. Gui Yan didn't know how Ji Weihang did it.

This behavior occurs between peers with whom they have a normal relationship, and it is like saying: I am your mother.

It is extremely offensive and condescending.

Although Ji Weihang probably simply wanted to position Gui Yan, Gui Yan was still very unhappy.

Ji Weihang let go of her hand, ignoring Gui Yan's murderous look, and prepared to go back to find Fu Xuan.

Gui Yan looked at the government officials below with murderous eyes.

They looked at them and their weapons were pointed at them.

Gui Yan turned her head and looked at Ling Si who was standing at the crack in the wall: "Do you want to deal with them?" She was not venting her anger, she just wanted to do something good before leaving, as she should.

The sound was so loud that not only could everyone in the building hear it, but the people below could also hear it clearly.

"Attack!" The male commander below was panicked for a second, but then he became confident again.

This thing is floating in the sky, isn't it a perfect target?

"Knock them both down!"
