Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Military Consolation
The two men's facial features are exactly the same. Even Cang Chen himself would occasionally feel dazed when looking at Cang Hao.
But Cang Hao——
Hou Lin looked over curiously when he heard this. "Aren't you twins? How come you haven't seen each other for so long?"
Cang Hao smiled and said, "My physical fitness is average, so I've been studying in schools in the Federal Territory."
Hou Lin: "How long has it been since you last met?"
Cang Hao: "The last time we met was probably two months ago."
Cang Chen nodded silently.
Hou Lin was even more puzzled. "Does the Federation know you're from the Wandering Alliance?"
Cang Hao laughed again, "I didn't know before, but I should know now."
“They were also surprised that I got first place in this interview.”
So, he actually stayed in the Federal Territory alone for a long time?
Hou Lin's eyebrows jumped and he immediately became wary.
Cang Hao noticed the subtle change in his expression and asked, "Are you worried that I will hurt Master Ye Ning?"
Being asked so directly by Cang Hao, Hou Lin didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
Cang Hao suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Don't worry. As a member of the wolf clan, I guarantee with my life that I will be loyal and devoted to Mistress Ye Ning for the rest of my life. I will never do anything to harm or betray her."
He was extremely serious in making his promise, and he and Cang Chen seemed to be cut from the same mold, which made his credibility soar.
After Cang Hao finished speaking, he turned and looked at Cang Chen with a smile, "Brother, what do you think?"
Cang Chen felt extremely uncomfortable hearing him call him "brother." But since trust was a concern, he nodded immediately and explained, "The Alliance will arrange for members of the tribe with strong learning abilities to further their studies in different fields."
"Don't worry, we will never do anything to betray Master Ye Ning."
Hou Lin trusted Cang Chen very much, because with his strength and identity, it was almost certain that he would be the next leader of the Wandering Orc Alliance.
This is also the reason why the Wandering Orc Alliance sent him to Ye Ning. They also wanted to use Ye Ning to find out the cause of Lord Hu Yue's death.
Moreover, there were no pure humans left in the Wandering Orc Alliance, so supporting Ye Ning was their best option. Their agreement to let Cang Chen come was a symbol of the sincerity of their cooperation.
A crisis of trust was temporarily resolved.
After that, Cang Hao did not leave here, but waited at the door with them.
He was even calmer than the others.
Finally, Ye Ning finished raising the seedlings and asked him to have a good rest, so he left.
At night, Cang Chen was about to go find Cang Hao, but unexpectedly, he came to him first.
Cang Hao looked at where Cang Chen lived and said, "I thought you would be very close to Ye Ning, but I didn't expect you to be on the periphery."
Cang Chen frowned and looked at him, "Cang Hao, don't get close to Master Ye Ning."
Cang Hao smiled, "What qualifications do you have to say this to me?"
Cang Chen's expression hardened a bit. "If you do anything that makes Lord Ye Ning uncomfortable, I will ask the leader to transfer you away."
Cang Hao sighed and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I like Ye Ning even more than you think."
Capital District.
Feng Yue looked at the strange orc beside him, extremely unhappy, "Where's Gu Su? Why hasn't he shown up in the past two days? He didn't even reply to my messages. Even if he's sick, he can't even reply to a single message?!"
The new orc hesitated, "Gu Suta..."
He seemed to have something to say but didn't dare to.
Feng Yue looked at him coldly.
The man felt a surge of pressure. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "He was sent to the Xisha area by the Tiger Tribe."
The gift box that Gu Yu sent back last time not only contained a rich variety of plants and fruits, but also a pot of osmanthus. The plant scent on it was extremely strong, and it was obvious that it had been carefully prepared by Ye Ning.
The Tiger Clan, who were originally hesitant, completely tipped the scales towards Ye Ning when they saw the osmanthus tree. This was enough to prove how much Lord Ye Ning valued the Tiger Clan and Gu Yu.
If the Capital Region will lag far behind the Xisha Region in the next ten years, then it would be a joke for them to fight for power in the backward Capital Region.
Gu Yu was right. As the only tiger in the Xisha area, it was best for the tiger tribe for him to stay in the Xisha area.
Therefore, when Gu Su said that he also wanted to go to the Xisha area, the leader of the Tiger Tribe agreed without any hesitation.
With Gu Yu's endorsement, and Gu Su's strong spiritual level and combat capabilities, He Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.
The Tiger Tribe's actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of the Capital District, and immediately drew strong condemnation from the others. However, the reasons given by the Tiger Tribe were irrefutable.
Ye Ning was in the Xisha District, and even if she wanted to cooperate, she wouldn't prioritize the Capital District. In this case, proactively going to the Xisha District and establishing contact with her would be the most beneficial option for the long-term development of the Capital District.
Moreover, only one person from the Tiger Tribe went there, while the rest remained in the capital area. It would be an exaggeration to say that they had betrayed him.
Everyone was arguing with each other, but in fact, many people came to the door that day, hoping that the Tiger Tribe would help introduce them and take their people to the Xisha area.
The Tiger Tribe accepted all offers and readily agreed to them all. This left no reason for the others to object.
So in the end, not only did Gu Su go to the Xisha area alone, he also brought a group of members from other tribes who had been following the Tiger Tribe for a long time. The number of people was not too many, but not too few either, a full twenty or so.
He Yang was happy in his heart, but pretended to be very embarrassed on the surface. After pulling it a few times, he finally accepted it all.
The fact that they were assigned here means their abilities and skills, while not top-notch, are definitely not bad. Putting so many of them in the military will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the Xisha region.
And last time, they said that it was because of Gu Su that they were able to find Ye Ning in time through the underground passage. He also knew about Ye Ning's growth from a cub to an adult. But the Capital District still made such a reckless move, proving that he had never told anyone about Ye Ning from the beginning to the end.
The Tiger Tribe has arranged so many people to come here, so they must show their sincerity.
So the next morning, Ye Ning saw Gu Su at the door.
When Ye Ning saw Gu Su from afar, she thought she was dazzled.
After Gu Yu said that, Ye Ning realized that the Tiger Tribe had sent him to the Xisha area.
Ye Ning: "Is it because of the gift you sent?"
Gu Yu nodded.
In fact, those gifts were prepared by Gu Yu, but when he was about to give them away, he asked her if he could cover them with some innate power. Otherwise, how could Ye Ning know that his mother was going to have a birthday?
However, after learning about this, Ye Ning specially prepared a potted sweet-scented osmanthus tree for him. She also put some special fresh fruits that were definitely not available on the market in the gift box.
After all, it was Gu Yu who saved her in the first place.
Ye Ning whispered, "But he has always been with Yan Gang and Feng Yue. Is it okay for him to follow me like this?"
Gu Yu nodded and said, "They will send someone else over there, and he would rather be with you."
"Gu Su's strength is superior to mine. You will be safer with him around. But if you don't like him, you can let him take turns guarding with other orcs."
Ye Ning: "It doesn't matter, just make the arrangements."
The fact that Gu Su can appear here must be something that all parties have discussed.
And Feng Yue, Ye Ning thought, and walked towards Gu Su.
"Lord Ye Ning." Gu Su said respectfully.
When Gu Su saw Gu Yu and Ye Ning talking from afar, he was already feeling nervous. After seeing Ye Ning's surprise when she saw him, his nervousness reached its peak.
He stayed with Yan Gang and Feng Yue. Once, Yan Gang told her to get out, and once, Feng Yue destroyed her planting area. All of their encounters were bad experiences. She might also think he was a very annoying person and would not be willing to accept him.
Gu Suqing let out a breath. Even if he couldn't stay with her, he could only protect the planting area at the outermost edge.
Ye Ning hadn't expected him to be so cautious and respectful. She felt as if her anger had been completely wiped out.
She also remembered that he had been of great help when they were in the East Star District.
Ye Ning smiled at him and said, "I'll leave it to you from now on."
Now that there is one more person, Le Song and the others can split up and go out to do other tasks.
Gu Su's expression brightened instantly, and the lifeless feeling on his body completely dissipated.
Ye Ning sensed his change and asked again, "Is Feng Yue okay now?"
Gu Su: "I've almost recovered."
Ye Ning nodded, "Then I'm relieved."
She had asked other pure humans before, and they said that although they woke up, their faces were still a little pale.
Ye Ning just happened to see him and thought of Feng Yue, so she asked this question casually.
She later joined the Pure Human Association, and they finally elected Hu Xin as the president of the association.
There was nothing special going on usually. Most of the time, everyone was just chatting inside. Ye Ning would only glance at them occasionally and basically didn't say anything.
It was very strange. Even though they spoke such horrific words to her, the group was peaceful, as if nothing serious had happened.
However, Hu Xin would come to check on her situation every now and then. Ye Ning didn't have time, so she basically asked Hou Lin to reply to her messages.
Another day passed, and finally it was Ecological Education Day.
In the morning, Long Qi also appeared.
After seeing him, Hou Lin asked Ye Ning, "Why did he disappear these days?"
Long Qi hasn't appeared since their last conversation in the room.
Ye Ning handed the information in her hand to Hou Lin, "He has something important to do recently."
Still about the restricted area.
The last resistance to the tide of pollutants can be said to be very successful, so until now, there is no sign of a new tide of pollutants.
If they want to leave the Xisha area later, they will definitely have to continue to deal with the pollutants in the restricted area.
So, these days, Long Qi took her plants back to the restricted area.
This matter was done in a very secretive manner, and no one except He Yang and Hou Sen knew about it. If she had not appeared in public today, Long Qi would not have returned from the battlefield.
He must have taken a shower, as his hair was still a little wet.
Ye Ning threw a large amount of superpowers at him, then carefully observed his condition, "Are you okay?"
Long Qi nodded slightly.
When there is no pollution tide, the level of pollution will be much lower.
Over at Hou Sen's end, the development of plant-based weapons was proceeding smoothly. Here, with Ye Ning's plants and the intermediate insecticide she had secretly added, the killing effect was excellent.
In the past, after killing the pollutants, it was necessary to use fire or other corrosive solvents to quickly decompose their bodies, otherwise the remaining pollutants would continue to devour their bodies and generate new high-level pollutants.
But now, Long Qi clearly feels that the overall danger level of pollutants is decreasing.
In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that Ye Ning relies on plants to absorb pollutants.
Planting areas in various regions have been invested and built one after another, so global pollutants are being absorbed rapidly, and the ability to remove pollutants is naturally decreasing.
The ribbons in the planting area were fluttering, and the volunteers who had been trained in advance were wearing their own volunteer badges and standing in their own positions.
Their main task today is to popularize ecological and environmental protection knowledge to everyone and help organize some activities.
Ye Ning handed over the responsibility of this Ecological Education Day event to her subordinates. She only looked at their plan at the end and made some suggestions.
The activities for the Education Day were very tightly scheduled, as this was the first time the planting area was open to the public, and its importance was self-evident.
And for the first time, choosing the right person is also very important.
During the last round of open houses, only the top 100 players were allowed in. This time, if the opening was too casual, it wouldn't be appropriate either.
Therefore, this Ecological Education Day is mainly open to schools.
Students from all schools in Xisha District will come here for free visits within three days.
For the rest of the Xisha District residents or ordinary tourists who want to visit, they will be selected through a random lottery.
In addition, the Botanical Garden in Xisha District will also launch the Education Day activities at the same time, so she will also go to the Botanical Garden this afternoon to meet everyone.
This is for diversion purposes. If you want to see her, you won't be able to see her even if you come to the planting area specifically, because she won't be here these days.
The overall activity design is also very good.
With so many people, it is impossible to hold lectures for them here, so the professors have already carried out the preliminary educational work at school.
Today's activity is to visit the entire ecological restoration area in the morning. In the afternoon, after the students return to school, derivative activities such as ecological knowledge competitions and plant photography competitions will be held.
After the event, a questionnaire survey will be conducted among teachers and students to collect feedback.
Ye Ning was about to leave a long time ago, but today, Feng Qi was also one of the volunteers.
She had been too busy lately, and for safety reasons, the two hadn't seen each other for a while.
It’s not that he was afraid that she was unsafe, but that Feng Qi was unsafe around her.
There was someone nearby, Feng Qi waved happily to Ye Ning, not daring to call her sister loudly.
Ye Ning took advantage of the crowd and a group of orcs blocking the way, ran over quickly, and gave her a big hug.
Feng Qi sniffed it vigorously, and it was still that fresh and pleasant plant scent.
She patted Ye Ning's back gently.
The next second, Feng Qi felt that there were a lot more things in the pockets on both sides of his clothes.
Feng Qi blinked.
Ye Ning whispered, "I've prepared something delicious for you."
She asked the chef to make these elephant cookies, and Feng Qi would probably like them very much.
Feng Qi quickly handed over his gift, "I have a gift for you too."
Ye Ning looked down and saw a medal.
"You're great! You won first place."
Feng Qi nodded happily, "First place in the plant knowledge competition."
She said last time that she would give the first place medal to her younger sister, and she finally did it today.
Feng Qi actually had a lot more to say, but she knew now was not the right time. She patted Ye Ning on the shoulder and said, "Sister, go now. I'm going to be a volunteer. We'll talk later."
Ye Ning suddenly felt that Feng Qi seemed to have grown up a lot.
She hugged Feng Qi again and then said goodbye to her.
After Ye Ning got in the car, she looked back and saw Feng Qi standing there straight.
Hou Lin: "If you miss her so much, ask her to stay with you at night."
Ye Ning shook her head. Feng Qi would be safer if he stayed away from her.
Gu Su and Ye Ning discussed the next steps.
"This morning, you need to visit the military to express your condolences. In the afternoon, you need to give a ten-minute ecological speech at the Botanical Garden. The manuscript has been prepared in advance. The day after tomorrow morning, the Xisha District will host a global climate conference. You can choose to attend..."
Ye Ning nodded.
These were all arranged long ago, and since they were going out for activities these few days, they might as well do everything they needed to do at once. Gu Su was just reminding her now.
She probably won't be going back to the planting area to rest these days.
After the educational day, the planting area will have to undergo a comprehensive inspection before she can move back in.
But she will not be idle either. The research institute in the Xisha area is also operating, and she can take time to go there to grow seedlings.
Although she went to the military headquarters several times, she didn't seem to see large numbers of soldiers.
Gu Yu: "Because you went to the military office area, and the troops are stationed in another area."
The soldiers in the Xisha area had already reached a point of being short of young soldiers, with the new soldiers getting younger and younger, and their numbers decreasing. But now, thanks to Ye Ning, many soldiers from other areas have been transferred here.
Maintaining personnel was certainly expensive, but Heyang kept them busy. He assigned them to small-scale pollution control missions and urban construction. Their main focus during this time was cleaning up garbage areas.
The garbage area is a historical problem that has existed for hundreds of years and cannot be cleaned up in one go.
In addition, many injured and disabled soldiers had to continue fighting on the battlefield, but now because there are more people, they can finally retreat.
However, today, because Ye Ning planned to visit the army to express condolences, the retired soldiers also returned to the barracks.
The sun is shining brightly today, neither too hot nor too dry, which is one of the rare good weather conditions in Xisha District.
As soon as the car arrived nearby, Ye Ning heard loud military songs.
With the passionate melody and inspiring lyrics, Ye Ning felt that she had become more powerful.
Feng Qi used to love singing military songs at home. When Ye Ning listened to them now, she felt very familiar. She even hummed a few lines along unconsciously.
When Ye Ning realized that she was the only one singing in the car, she stopped immediately.
Hou Lin looked at her, "Why don't you sing anymore?"
Seeing his expression, Ye Ning moved closer and said, "We want to hear you sing. Come sing for us."
Hou Lin flatly refused, "This is the Xisha District military song. You have to ask Gu Yu, Long Qi and others to sing it for you. I can't sing it."
Ye Ning really looked at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu smiled at her, and then really sang the military song in tune.
He always spoke gently, but when he sang military songs, his tone changed.
Ye Ning inexplicably heard a sense of sadness in the clanging voice.
She suddenly thought of the little crocodile.
On the battlefield, they must have experienced countless separations and deaths from their comrades.
Sacrifice is inevitable, but the spirit is immortal. Only by living better can we live worthy of the sacrifice.
After Gu Yu finished singing, Ye Ning applauded him sincerely.
Their car can drive in directly, but no one else has this privilege except Ye Ning.
It was only after Ye Ning entered and didn't see any other cars that she realized she had received this preferential treatment.
After the car stopped by the roadside, the military officers and reporters who had been waiting nearby since early morning immediately came over to greet it.
After a few greetings, Ye Ning went to the training ground under the guidance of the officer.
On the training ground, soldiers were undergoing rigorous training. Their movements were in perfect unison, and their voices were quite impressive.
Hou Lin whispered, "The actual training is much more complicated than this. This is mainly for the sake of looking good in photos."
So that's how it is. However, even if it was just for taking pictures, everyone's movements were very vigorous.
Today is not only a time for commendation, but also a time for reviewing history and remembering our ancestors.
Ye Ning was the last to appear.
When she came on stage, the soldiers below immediately burst into thunderous applause.
The huge crowd of soldiers was actually some distance away from her because there were soldiers and her orc guards between them.
However, Ye Ning still compressed his supernatural power into an extremely thin piece and released it.
After presenting the awards to everyone, Ye Ning began his consolation speech to the troops.
"Hello everyone! I'm Ye Ning. The district chief just said I'm a hero of the Xisha District, but in my heart, everyone here is the hero of the Xisha District. Without you charging into battle, the Xisha District wouldn't be as safe as it is today..."
The soldiers below did not expect that today they would not only be able to see Ye Ning with their own eyes, receive awards personally presented to them by Ye Ning, but also hear Ye Ning say with their own ears that they are heroes!
If it weren't for Ye Ning's plants, many of them would have been killed by pollutants long ago.
The weapons lack firepower, medical resources are insufficient, and there are no plants to purify the pollution in the body.
All of this was brought to the Xisha District by Ye Ning, but she actually said that they were the heroes.
The surrounding cameras had already started live broadcasting, so Ye Ning's words were also broadcast live on the Internet.
"Woo woo woo, it's worth it to be a soldier in the Xisha area in this life."
"I was waiting for Lord Ye Ning at the Botanical Garden, but I didn't expect Lord Ye Ning to visit the army."
"The soldiers are truly great, salute them!"
"We should pay tribute to Lord Ye Ning. I'm about to cry."
…
Gu Su looked at the speech manuscript in the bracelet and said, "What Ye Ning said is not the content of the speech manuscript."
Hou Lin: "Because she is speaking from her heart. An orc who writes speeches can't write these words."
Gu Su nodded, and his eyes looked at Ye Ning more focused.
At the end of Ye Ning's speech, she looked at Long Qi standing beside her.
Long Qi was just a little below her, and almost the moment Ye Ning looked over, Long Qi noticed her gaze.
Ye Ning looked at him and said with a smile: "Finally, I would like to especially thank Long Qi for his efforts for us."
