Amemiya Ryudan drove forward and soon arrived outside the city gate. Unlike other mobile cities, Fenrir did not move immediately, but stayed here. Not only that, many people could be seen waiting outside the city gate.
They looked like a group of refugees who had traveled a long distance to get here. The soldier guarding the gate took out a stack of stickers and distributed them to everyone. The people took the stickers and stuck them on their arms. Then they closed their eyes and prayed. After a while, they picked up the stickers on their arms again.
Afterwards, most people sighed helplessly, but among them, someone suddenly raised his hand.
"Great, I passed!"
As he spoke, a man strode forward and waved his hands at the soldiers.
"Look, this is all right!"
"no problem."
Hearing the man's words, the soldier nodded.
"Please go inside to complete the formalities."
"Wait, I, I have relatives... Can they come with me?"
As he spoke, the man pulled a few people out of the crowd, and the soldiers looked at these people and nodded.
"We will do a DNA test and then we will be sure of the situation."
As he spoke, the soldier waved his hand, and soon the tightly closed door opened, and then the soldier led the men in. At the same time, Amamiya Ryūdan drove to the front of the door and waved to the soldier.
"Captain Amamiya."
Looking at Amamiya Ryudan, the soldiers also hurriedly saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work. Who are these people?"
"My guest, I will personally explain the details to my superiors."
"Yes, please come in."
Soon, the group entered the city, and then the gate was closed again, and at this time the people outside finally began to riot.
"Are you kidding me? Let us in!"
“Let us in!”
A group of people even wanted to break through the soldiers' blockade and break into the city, but they were knocked to the ground by those soldiers. Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help it.
"How could they do this? This is simply..."
"Okay, sit down."
Seeing that the ends of Misaka Mikoto's hair were starting to sparkle again, Fang Zheng slapped her.
"It's none of your business, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"But, but this is too..."
"Excessive?"
“…”
In response to Fang Zheng's answer, Misaka Mikoto nodded, and Fang Zheng chuckled.
"It's indeed excessive, so what?"
"Why……?"
"What else can you say besides excessive? Cruel? Cold-blooded? But what can we do?"
"yes……"
Hearing this, Amamiya Ryōdan, who was driving, also sighed.
"I don't want this to happen either, but there is no other way. Fenrir has limited resources available, so we must give priority to the God Eater because the God Eater is the source of Fenrir's power and the guardian. Compared to ordinary people, this is more important."
"So does Zuellni."
Fili also interrupted silently.
"Martial artists have the highest status and are not bound by the law, but even so, once the pollution beasts attack the city, all martial artists need to protect the city at all costs."
"The abilities and responsibilities are equal, but the treatment that needs to be enjoyed is also the same."
Fang Zheng shrugged and glanced at Misaka Mikoto.
"You have to know that if it were you, you could kill dozens of wild gods or polluted beasts by yourself, but for ordinary people, ten of them might not be able to beat one. This is a simple addition and subtraction. When a city is in crisis, it is obviously impossible for those ordinary people who are shouting in the back to protect the city. Of course, they can provide logistical supplies and spiritual support, but the only ones who can truly face the threat and resist it are always those strong people with real strength."
"But this is really..."
"The world itself is like this. When resources are scarce, giving up some in order to preserve others is the basic law of survival of the fittest. It's like this everywhere. For example, if a disaster happens somewhere, there are a group of seriously injured people who need to be treated, but there are only a few doctors who can perform surgery. How do they choose? Of course, they choose to save those who are dying first. As for others whose injuries are not so serious, they can only give it a while. Do you think this is correct?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Misaka Mikoto pouted.
"That's certainly true..."
"Yes, that's true, but what if I tell you that someone inside could have saved his limb if there was enough time and manpower, but had to have his limb amputated because of the doctors' choice?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was speechless.
"It's the same with Tokiwadai. I can tell you the truth. The resources Tokiwadai uses on its students are enough to upgrade tens of thousands of Lv1 espers to Lv2, but what's the point? Tokiwadai's admission requirement is Lv3. Do you think this was decided on the spur of the moment by the superiors? I think you know best how big the power difference is between 10,000 Lv1s upgraded to Lv2 and one Lv3 upgraded to Lv4. If there were unlimited resources, Academy City could certainly make everyone an esper, but do you have unlimited resources?"
“…”
This time, Misaka Mikoto finally stopped talking, and Fili looked at them curiously, but didn't say much. Hearing this, Amamiya Ryudou was also moved, but he didn't say anything, but drove to the parking lot in front of Fenrir headquarters and stopped.
"Do you want to stay in the headquarters first, or take a look outside?"
"Let's go outside and take a look at the scenery first."
Fang Zheng quickly gave the answer, and Amamiya Ryudan also smiled slightly.
"No problem, please take this."
As he spoke, Amamiya Ryudou took out a badge.
"This is?"
"This is a kind of pass. With this pass, you can enter the headquarters. As long as you tell the guards that Amamiya Ryōdan invited you, they will know what to do."
Having said that, Amemiya Ryudan also nodded to everyone.
"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Watching Amamiya Ryudan leave, Fang Zheng stretched himself and turned to look at the girls behind him.
"Okay, let's go around. It's rare to come to a new city, so it's nice to take in the scenery first."
Hearing this, everyone calmed down and put what they had seen before behind their minds, even Misaka Mikoto was no exception. She was just angry at those people being treated roughly at first, but after being reminded by Fang Zheng, Misaka Mikoto has now reacted to some extent. In fact, she also has this problem. After all, you have to know that there are more than 10,000 Misaka sisters now. If Misaka Mikoto is asked to pay for them herself, she will definitely not be able to support them. And with so many clones, it is not easy for Misaka Mikoto to explain to the outside world.
If it weren't for Fang Zheng's help, Misaka Mikoto really wouldn't know how to treat these sisters.
Just imagine that ten thousand sisters are blocking your doorstep and asking for adoption... Misaka Mikoto will understand these people's mentality and thoughts to some extent.
Here, Fang Zheng took Misaka Mikoto and others for a walk. On the other side, Amamiya Ryudou also returned to the Fenrir headquarters and took the elevator to the top floor.
"Minister John, I'm back."
"You're back, Gentian."
Looking at Ryudou Amamiya, the blond man sitting behind the desk nodded. He was the head of Fenrir's Far East branch, Johannes von Silzak.
"I heard that you brought back a few people? Are they also qualified?"
"No, Minister John."
Amamiya Ryūdan shook his head.
“To be honest, I came here just for these guests. They are not God Eaters, but they possess powerful strength that God Eaters cannot match…”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Minister John's eyes flashed and he sat up.
"Tell me the details?"
"Yes."
Amemiya Ryudou nodded and continued his report.
"Not long ago, I left Fenrir and tried to find a suitable person who is qualified to be a god machine in a gathering place. However, when I arrived at one of the gathering places, it was attacked by the wild gods, and there were several people fighting with the wild gods. Their fighting style was completely different from what I had seen before."
Having said that, Amamiya Ryūdan closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"The first is a girl named Misaka Mikoto. She looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she can control lightning freely. With just a casual strike, she can turn a wild god into charcoal. I have never seen such an ability, nor have I heard of anyone possessing such power."
"Hmm... this is really interesting."
After hearing Amemiya Ryodan's report, Minister John's expression also became amused.
"Go on."
"Yes, and then there is a girl named Shirai Kuroko, her ability is even more terrifying, she can travel through space at will, at least from what I can see, she seems to be able to easily appear or disappear at any time in various places, and can even move the people she comes into contact with to other places. I don't know if there are any limitations to this ability, but from what I have seen, this ability is already quite terrifying."
For Amamiya Ryudou, Shirai Kuroko's ability obviously left a very deep impression on him, even more so than Misaka Mikoto. After all, when it comes to controlling lightning, some high-level Aragami can do it, but this ability to move in space anytime and anywhere... is the first time Amamiya Ryudou has seen it in his life.
"There is also a girl named Saten Ruiko who can manipulate a sword to easily kill the God of the Wilds. That sword was formed by another girl! This is an ability I have never seen before. Among these people, there is also a girl named Fili Rose. She has a power that can observe the entire battlefield and communicate through telepathy. If I am not mistaken, this should be the ability called 'telepathy' that is circulated in the mobile city in the south."
"Um……"
After hearing this, Minister John frowned and began to think carefully.
"Is that all?"
"No, that's not the point. In fact, in addition to these girls, there is also a man named Fang Zheng, who is about twenty years old. According to Mr. Fang Zheng, he is currently traveling around this continent with those girls. Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, they should be from a very powerful mobile city, and there are many people with powerful abilities like them in it."
"So what you're saying is...?"
"I think we in Fenrir should contact and communicate with them. Maybe there is some area for cooperation."
That's right, this is the real reason why Yu Gong Long Dan invited Fang Zheng and others to come here. Fenrir's place is too barren and it is difficult to cooperate with other places. Now that such an opportunity has been found, Yu Gong Long Dan certainly cannot let it go. But he is only a commander of a unit after all, and the real diplomatic matters still need the minister himself to come forward.
"It's really interesting. If what you said is correct, then there must be a very powerful force behind these people..."
Having said that, Minister John thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of this."
