It was two days later that Hong Chengzhi found out that he was about to become the director of the Strategic Research Institute, but he was also surprised and perhaps frightened.
Dawn now has many branch organizations, from intelligence departments to combat groups, from permanent branches in various places to file management offices that cover comprehensive knowledge, from magic pattern array research institutes that are detailed to the point of being detailed to various organizations that specialize in the study of magic potions...
Not to mention that there are some powerful magic controllers who don't have specific scores.
But the establishment of a new and important department, and the direct promotion of an ordinary person with no supernatural powers as its core figure, would naturally arouse the interest of many people.
After Qin Xiaoxia briefly explained this to Hong Chengzhi, it was not difficult for him to imagine it with his brain, and he even thought of many possibilities that made him sweat.
Then the current scene appeared.
"So, Master Sekong, why are you sweating just looking at me? This should be the first time we meet, right?"
This was the first time that Baru had some free time in recent months. He looked at the man in front of him with confusion, whose height was probably only up to his armpits.
Their location was in the office of the leader of the Silent Knights on Dawn Silent Moon Island. It was simple and neat, and almost all the appliances were made of metal. Hong Chengzhi sat opposite them.
Knowing that this short and fat guy would definitely become a big shot in the future, Baru was very polite to him.
Hong Chengzhi forced a smile and did not touch the extremely unpalatable cup of the Knights' "energy drink".
"Well... Your Excellency, Captain, I heard the Sage mention that you will be responsible for helping me improve my basic abilities?"
"That's right! Throughout history, there have been many people with average physical fitness in the association, but we have paid a heavy price for this. This part of history is not open to the world, but as someone who often hangs out in SS forums, you should be aware of it."
Hong Chengzhi was silent for a moment.
Indeed, that period of history is too heavy, and for the sake of greater harmony, the World Alliance, including the Dawn Association, does not advocate making it public.
"Okay, but... I want to ask, within two months, I can fully develop my physical strength and be able to withstand the X113 potion... What does that mean?"
Baru thought for a moment and looked at him sincerely.
"Literally, I'm not sure what the X113 potion is, but it's a medicine to help you improve. You should have roughly understood that your physical strength has been fully awakened in the past two days. It's almost the level of a senior reserve of the Knights."
"Gu~"
Hong Chengzhi swallowed his saliva.
"I know... but the human body has its limits in terms of adaptability. The endurance of nerves, muscles, and bones... it is very unscientific to improve to such a level in such a short period of time. I think this process..."
“Pah pah pah pah pah…”
Baru couldn't help but applaud.
"You are worthy of being the future director. To be honest, I have trained many people myself, and you are the first one to bring up these things before the start. I guess you are mentally prepared, right?"
"As for whether it is scientific or not, the existence of supernatural powers may not be another level of science. Don't worry, I will make you reborn."
Baru stood up from his seat when he said this, forcing Hong Chengzhi to look up at him. The sunlight outside the window behind him was blocked by his tall and broad body, making Baru's entire face seem to be covered in a shadow.
"In order to protect your dignity, no students from the same period will be with you, so this time it will be a one-on-one training between you and me. Time is limited, let's go!"
One-to-one mode... this is... really "exciting" news...
…
In another world, more than a month has passed, and the Kingdom of Lensoget is now in a gloomy state.
The name of the yellow-grey devil was horrifying, and all the surrounding countries within the speed of news spread were shocked, including the Qinggele Empire, which was regarded as the instigator.
Extending into the country along the border with the Qinggele Empire, the sprouting green was almost wiped out after the weather warmed up.
The locust swarm's terrifying reproductive capacity, after losing its natural enemies and other threats, caused the entire population to grow like a snowball in less than half a year.
The outrageous numbers make the insect tide truly cover the sky when it migrates. The swarms are layered and their evolved wings are very strong.
If you see locusts flying and migrating in the sky at the right time, they can turn day into night in an instant. They deserve the name of the yellow-gray devil.
Countless people who have been affected, are being affected, or have not yet been affected by the disaster fled in another direction in panic.
To make matters worse for the Kingdom of Lensoget, the army of the Qinggele Empire suddenly crossed the border and marched towards the kingdom, with the slogan of helping the Kingdom of Lensoget to exorcise the demon.
The disaster was severe, a large number of civilians were lost, and the border troops were in a panic.
Faced with the Qinggele Empire's army, several key cities on the border of the Kingdom of Lensoget were unable to put up any decent resistance and quickly fell one after another.
In the border city of Ize of the Kingdom of Lensoget, Blantai and Norton rode camels and horses with soldiers towards the city gate with solemn expressions.
Along the way, both father and son remained silent.
Ize is rich in fine wine and enjoys a reputation in many regions. Naturally, it is also a very prosperous city in the Kingdom of Lensogot.
But now, the population in the city has dropped sharply, and most of the remaining people are pale and thin, and in a trance.
Beside Blantai, a hunchbacked middle-aged man rode a camel horse trembling with fear, the horse's reins being held by a cavalry guard beside him.
"My lord...if we leave Ize City and go south through the Kinite Canyon, we can bypass the disaster area in about three days...I hope you can give me freedom before leaving the canyon...I...don't want to see it again!"
The middle-aged man's voice was trembling. He would not be willing to do this job if he could not have enough food to eat.
"Got it, we won't break our promise!"
Heno simply replied and winked at the cavalry guards, who immediately took the reins and led the middle-aged man forward.
The army's target was the next large city at the gateway, which was a key defensive town of the Kingdom of Lensoget.
But according to reliable intelligence, the place is now being attacked by countless disaster victims, and now is the best time to launch a surprise attack.
"Father, we may face the yellow-grey devil!"
Blantai felt the touch of the crystal accessories inside the armor and said something to Heno, who looked up at the Sun Star in the sky.
"Yeah, I wonder if it's as scary as the rumors say..."
But in fact, what the army belonging to Nolan City saw and heard along the way made everyone have no doubt about the horror of those demons.
The complete loss of vitality and not a single blade of grass is the true portrayal of the entire journey.
As the basis of the food chain, plants affect the entire food chain layer by layer. From humans to animals, everyone lives a miserable life, and attacks by wild beasts on humans are also very frequent.
And those yellow-grey demons don’t just eat plants. If they are angered or frightened, they will attack anything they deem a threat… and… never waste…
