Chapter 616 Chapter 618 Crisis in the Dead Forest
No one has seen Ning Qingyun since he appeared in the mercenary center. The rumor circulating outside is that Ning Qingyun was seriously injured and needs long-term rest, but the exact extent of Ning Qingyun's injuries has not been determined.
Ning Qingyun has never received any hospitalization treatment, and all the rumors from the outside world are just speculation.
"Commander, if we really do this, I'm afraid it will attract criticism! What if Rong Xianxian refuses to carry out the order..."
A conscription order is a call to recruit certain people in the name of the country to perform special tasks within a specified period of time. No matter how dangerous it is, anyone who receives a conscription order must obey unconditionally.
Of course, this kind of compulsory conscription also has many restrictions. The most basic one is that the selection of executors must be reasonable and well-founded. At least the executors have a certain chance of success or objectively have the ability to perform the task.
"No, she is rich and powerful in the capital now, she is not alone. She always has to consider her subordinates. What's more, capable people are generally conceited. Gong Hanyu clearly set a trap for her, but she still jumped into it. Now she is just carrying out an official mission. She will not take the risk of going against the military for this." Rong Xianxian was not very smart, so it was impossible for her to know that he had dug a pit in the dead tree forest area to bury her.
Chairman Jingyuan has left Beijing for important matters. Now, Vice Chairman Shang and Vice Chairman Gao of the United Front Committee are acting as interim chairman.
Vice President Shang and Cheng Ying's faction are in cahoots with each other, and Cheng Ying wants to take advantage of Jing Yuan's absence to clip the wings of Jing Yuan's faction.
"Captain, although President Jing is not here, Minister Yan Cheng and Commander Zhu of the Fourth Army are both in the capital. They have both come forward to take care of Sibaolou. If they disagree, this recruitment order cannot be signed!"
"Just don't let them know. Speed is of the essence in war, so do this right away and try to send the conscription order to Rong Xianxian tomorrow." Cheng Ying ordered.
"Yes, Commander." The secretary took the order and left.
After the secretary left, Guo Yao, the leader of the Sword Mercenary Group, knocked on the door and walked in. "Uncle, didn't you say that if Rong Xianxian accepted the rescue mission in the Gushizhai area, she would definitely die there? How could she leave Gushizhai alive?"
"Who could have expected that the red straight knife in Rong Xianxian's hand could actually restrain the black fog? Rong Xianxian's trip to Gushizhai instead allowed Jingyuan to gain the upper hand. Let's not talk about this. How are the three tasks you have been assigned doing?" Cheng Ying suddenly asked him.
"I have completed one, but the other two are a bit troublesome and will take more time." Guo Yao said irritably. He had only completed an S-level mission, but his mercenary group had suffered heavy losses. As for the other two, he would delay as much as possible.
"Take your time, don't rush." Cheng Ying had a general understanding of the current situation of the Sword Mercenary Group and comforted him.
"Uncle, is the current situation in the capital not very good for us?" Guo Yao asked after a brief silence.
"You don't have to worry about these things, just do your job!" Cheng Ying waved his hand and let Guo Yao leave.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the army was busy building safe zones, opening up safe roads leading to various safe zones, sending rescue teams to rescue survivors, escorting scientists scattered around the country back to Beijing, understanding changes in the outside world, and mapping new maps. The army was busy because of these things, and even suffered heavy casualties. The military bosses had no time to deal with the internal affairs of the capital. During this period of time, several major families in the capital used the wealth and connections accumulated before the apocalypse, as well as their relationships in the military and political circles, to divide territories inside and outside the capital's safe zones, recruit personnel, and form gangs. They once occupied a dominant position in many areas of the economy and people's livelihood, and were unrivaled for a time.
However, the aristocratic families not only pursued personal gain, but even advocated forming an alliance with outsiders, helping them find the treasures they needed in exchange for higher-level skills and miraculous elixirs. This behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the hardliners headed by President Jingyuan, who had long wanted to deal with these people.
After Rong Xianxian came to Beijing, she opened Sibaolou and bought land and properties in the outer city to develop her influence. The business of Sibaolou was booming, breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the people's livelihood economy. If it weren't for the support of the military behind it, Rong Xianxian's Sibaolou would have had no way of gaining a foothold at that time.
Later, Gong Hanyu led the main force of the Gong family, joined forces with part of the Ning family, and the Lijian mercenary group to encircle and suppress the Tianhe mercenary group. As a result, the main force of the Gong family was almost wiped out, and the strength of the Ning family was damaged. Seeing this, other families restrained their edge. Since then, the momentum of the aristocratic families in the capital has been far less than before.
But this does not mean that they are willing to be suppressed. They secretly contact Cheng Ying, who comes from a noble family, and try to help him take the throne in exchange for a higher status.
After Guoyao left, Chengying opened the drawer and took out a tightly sealed box. He fumbled around on the surface of the box, and then there was a sound of gears turning in the box, and the lid of the box opened.
The box contained an ink-colored jade-like object. If Rong Xianxian saw it, she would recognize at a glance that this was ink jade made of spirit and soul, which could provide pure soul power.
Tianhe Mercenary Group Temporary Camp
After breakfast, the members of the Tianhe Mercenary Group were preparing to break camp and set off. Suddenly, they heard the roar of a car approaching from afar, as if it was heading towards them.
Pan Yang blew a whistle, and the team members in charge of guarding immediately set up sniper rifles, heavy crossbows and other weapons and formed a defensive formation. Even though they knew that the people who drove here must be of the same kind, they did not dare to be careless.
When the oncoming convoy came into Pan Yang's sight, Pan Yang waved his hand, and a burst of gunfire, "bang bang bang", forced the oncoming convoy to stop.
Pan Yang used the telescope to clearly see that there were six or seven camouflaged military trucks, which were the most common and most commonly used type of vehicle in the local army.
"Excuse me, are you from the Tianhe Mercenary Group?" Someone on the front truck shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
"Yes, who are you? What do you want to do?" Pan Yang also took out a loudspeaker and answered.
"We are the garrison troops in Jiujiang Security Zone. We have received military orders from our superiors to notify Ning Qingyun of the Tianhe Mercenary Group to immediately go to Guxizhou to carry out the dead forest crisis mission. This is the recruitment order issued by the military in my hand. Please take it." The messenger from Jiujiang Security Zone shouted, holding a paper document.
Pan Yang was furious when he heard this. Ning Qingyun was seriously injured and was no longer the leader. Last time at the mercenary center, he transferred all his assets to Rong Xianxian, obviously intending to make arrangements for his funeral. The military could not have been unaware of this, but now they came to assign a mission. Isn't this obviously looking for trouble?
"Pan Yang, ask him to send it over!" Pan Yang was about to scold when Rong Xianxian spoke.
