New Era (3)
The old marshal died in battle.
The Cloud Legion was almost wiped out.
Head of state Ji Yang was attacked.
When these three pieces of news reached the Federal Parliament, they immediately caused an uproar.
The old marshal is the first powerful sanctuary to appear after humans awakened to mimicry. Whether people are willing to admit it or not, he is the mainstay of the Federation.
Even if some people had secretly thought of killing him, when the news of his death in battle came, it was difficult to describe in detail what they felt in their hearts.
The Cloud Legion was the elite legion of the Federation, and no one could match it. Now only one tenth of such a powerful legion remained, and everyone in the parliament suddenly felt a subtle sense of fear.
Even the old marshal and the Yunshang Legion could not resist the higher-level Zerg, let alone others.
In contrast, the news of Ji Yang being attacked was suppressed and not many people paid attention to it.
The news of Shi Jianxia's return had not spread yet, so she temporarily lived in the President's Mansion, both to avoid the news from leaking out and to protect Ji Yang's safety, so that no one would take advantage of Pei Qin's absence from the capital star to attack her.
Zhou was naturally with her.
When Shi Jianxia learned that the old marshal had died in battle, he asked him whether it was Lu or his high-level Zerg who had reached the holy realm who took action.
But Zhou gave a negative answer. The aura of the strong men in the Holy Land was very strong, the battle would definitely be very noisy, and it would be impossible to end it in a short time.
It took less than half a day for the two of them to return to the human universe from the Zerg universe and learn the news of the old marshal's death in battle.
During this half day, Zhou did not sense any movement of a Saint-level expert.
If the news of the old marshal's death in battle is correct, this incident should have happened before the two returned to the human universe.
But at that time, Lu had not yet lost his territory and escaped to the human universe.
Could it be that Lu knew that she, who could threaten him, would appear in the Zerg universe, and in order to leave a way out, he arranged for his advanced Zerg to stir up trouble in the human universe in advance?
"Lu knows that I can sense him, so he won't use his power easily." Zhou said slowly, biting a small biscuit.
He and Lu have completely torn their relations apart, and the final outcome is either you die or I live.
Lu didn't expect that he had a star core in his hand, and was cheated by him. He will probably act cautiously next time.
Shi Jianxia frowned, "We have to find a way to get him out."
It would be disgusting if Lu was doing things behind the scenes like the doctor did.
"Why rush? With his personality, he won't be able to hide for long. He will come out sooner or later." Zhou was very optimistic about this.
"But your old marshal, is he really dead?" Zhou ate another biscuit and said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Shi Jianxia asked back.
"It's not so easy for someone in the Holy Realm to die, unless he is already dying." Zhou pointed at the empty biscuit box.
Shi Jianxia filled him up silently.
"Do you want to go and see the post-war ruins? That should be enough to tell if they're really dead." Zhou pulled the refilled biscuit box in front of him with satisfaction and picked up another piece.
As soon as the news came back, the few survivors of the Yunshang Legion were seriously injured and basically fell into a semi-comatose state, unable to accept the investigation. Ji Yang had immediately sent people to check the situation at the scene, but no news has been reported back yet.
"Go!" Shi Jianxia said decisively.
She always felt that there was something fishy about the old marshal's death in battle, especially since Zhou Dinglu did not take action.
Zhuo took the biscuit box away and said crisply, "Let's go. If we meet Lu, we can take care of him while we can."
Shi Jianxia: "...You are so confident."
Zhou ignored her sarcasm and raised his hand. The golden power turned into an invisible big hand, picked up Shi Jianxia's collar, and took her away from the presidential palace in her protesting eyes.
The feeling of passing through the vortex was very subtle, like passing through a very long tunnel, except that this tunnel was golden and filled with energy stars everywhere, beautiful and dangerous. Shi Jianxia looked at it once or twice and then closed his eyes.
When she opened her eyes, the scene of the President's Palace had disappeared, replaced by post-war ruins filled with smoke.
As Zerg swarms broke out in various high-risk Zerg-occupied areas, more than two-thirds of the Federation's legions were stationed in various Zerg-occupied areas to hunt the Zerg, and the remaining one-third were on standby at all times to provide support.
There are a large number of high-risk insect-occupied areas on Wutong Star. With the outbreak of the insect tide, the Federation has been arranging for the evacuation of the residents of the planet. The Cloud Legion is responsible for supporting Wutong Star.
A few days ago, the high-risk Zerg-occupied area No. 6 was breached by the advanced Zerg. Marshal Yun Lao led the Yunshang Legion to defend the Zerg-occupied area No. 6, but just yesterday, a large number of advanced Zerg besieged the Yunshang Legion’s base. A conflict broke out between the two sides, and the nearby buildings were almost razed to the ground. The battle was quite tragic.
The supporting legions also suffered heavy losses, but because they were not at the front line, they retained some combat power.
When Zhou brought Shi Jianxia to Wutong Star, it was just dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth stained red with blood. There were broken limbs everywhere, both human and Zerg. It was very shocking.
The news Ji Yang received was that in order to prevent the Zerg from breaking out of the high-risk Zerg-occupied area and harming ordinary people, the old marshal detonated the spiritual power fountain while seriously injured and died together with the high-level Zerg, leaving no corpse behind.
Shi Jianxia smelled the bloody scent in the air that even the wind couldn't blow away, and asked Zhou, who was looking down in thought beside him, "How is it? Can you sense anything?"
Zhuo replied, "There is indeed that human's presence here, and it's very strong. He must have fought a great battle here, so it's not impossible that he died."
This result was somewhat beyond Zhou's expectations. In his opinion, even if someone who had reached the Holy Domain was at the end of his rope, unless he was swallowed by the insect vortex of the Classic of Mountains and Seas like the Zerg, he would not be killed by some scum who were not at the Holy Domain.
Shi Jianxia thought for a moment and said, "He has lived for a long time, so long that some people thought he was dead."
She had also secretly wondered how long the old marshal could live and whether she would have the power to be independent of others before he passed away, but she did not get the answer.
If the old marshal's life has come to an end, and he has to face the attack of a large number of advanced Zerg, how can he survive?
But the fact that he had collaborated with the doctor in the past made Shi Jianxia feel uncomfortable.
Zhou noticed that she was in a low mood and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a slight movement not far away. He immediately squinted his eyes and looked over. "Who?"
Shi Jianxia's slightly depressed mood was pulled back by his sudden cold shout, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"There is the breath of life there." Zhou said, pointing to a collapsed building in front.
Living people?
This place is almost razed to the ground, how can anyone still be alive?
No, it could also be a surviving soldier.
Shi Jianxia said, "Go and take a look."
Zhou took her and flew over.
Before he got close enough, Shi Jianxia felt a force of vitality that was hard to ignore, like a young sprout poking its head out from under the rock, stubbornly trying to get closer to the warm sunlight.
It's the breath of mimicry.
Hiruzen moved the piled rubble away, revealing the scene below.
A woman in military uniform fell in the ruins, her body covered in blood, and the exposed half of her face was covered in dust.
She was in a very miserable state, but her weak breathing showed that she was not dead yet.
Shi Jianxia could vaguely sense from her breath that it was the power of mimicry that was maintaining her vitality.
She helped the woman up and was stunned when she saw her appearance.
It wasn't because she was familiar with the person, but because the other person was very beautiful. Even though she was seriously injured and had bruises on her face, her outstanding appearance could still be seen.
Is she a soldier of the Cloud Legion?
Shi Jianxia took out a healing potion from the space bracelet and was about to give it to the woman to drink, but suddenly a strong vitality burst out of her body.
The power enveloped her, emitting bursts of dragon roars, and the wounds on the woman's body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shi Jianxia stared at the mimicry shadow that suddenly appeared.
It’s Qinglong!
The same Azure Dragon mimicry as daddy!
How could she have the Azure Dragon mimicry?
The doctor used the power of the star core to help awaken Dad's Azure Dragon Mimicry, but the bloodline that inherited the Azure Dragon Mimicry was cut off along with the young master of the hot spring villa.
Shi Jianxia was so shocked that she forgot to move, but the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and her five fingers turned into claws and grabbed her heart fiercely.
