The eavesdropped call was hung up by one party.
Inside the temporary supply station.
Wang Jixuan curled his lips and said, "I suddenly understand what the artistry of swearing is."
"They really are going to retaliate against Fortress 82."
Black Instructor stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Wang Jixuan asked, "Will they directly destroy Fortress 82?"
"They shouldn't be so insane as to directly destroy a fortress, but the extremists within the Spirit Control Council should have severe anti-human tendencies."
Black Instructor said coldly:
"Six years ago, the D3 war zone, which had a direct conflict with Spirit Energy City, had a fortress with a population of 500,000, which was destroyed overnight, with the upper city ruined and 70,000 to 80,000 casualties."
"Besides, the overall ecology of the fortress is also very fragile. Once there are some epidemic viruses, it is easy to cause infection throughout the entire level, resulting in thousands or tens of thousands of casualties in a short period of time."
"And the predecessor of the Thirteenth Institute, these biological laboratories, were cultivating deadly viruses during the Golden Age, acting as executioners for some hegemonic countries."
Wang Jixuan: … …
The Daoist priest urgently needs a term more aggressive than 'Demon Sect'.
He asked, "Then what do we do next? Evacuate the entire Fortress 82 urgently?"
"We can only try our best to protect the people, actively fight, and let them come at us."
Black Instructor said indifferently:
"Although the battlefield is on our side, it will indeed make us passive everywhere, but as long as they still want to retaliate, the event can continue to escalate."
"Wang Zheng, next you should concentrate on research and development, don't worry about these things, I will transfer enough troops over."
"The Sari Desert is a good place… a good place to bury the ambitions of Spirit Energy users."
Peony listened carefully from the side, wisely choosing to remain silent at this time.
Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "Then I'll continue with research and development."
He was happy to save himself trouble.
"Yes, unless necessary, I won't let you take action, but with the X-Armor, you are now an effective B-level combat force in this area, and you need to be prepared for battle later."
Black Instructor pointed to the metal box in the corner, which contained the weapon that was sent over with Peony.
Black Instructor introduced:
"That is the prototype of the Annihilation Cannon, which can be paired with your X-Armor."
"However, using it will definitely not be as convenient as the mechanical arms of Deep Sea and Ling Tong, but the power is still acceptable… It can also be used for your drone."
Peony looked at Wang Jixuan with some anticipation.
Daoist Wang smiled and said, "She's fine in her current working state. I'll take care of the fighting."
Peony lowered her head somewhat disappointedly, then perked up and made an expression of admiration: "Sir, you're so manly."
"Your expression is too fake. Practice more."
Wang Jixuan turned and went back to his supply vehicle.
Black Instructor stretched lazily, went to sit on the sofa, and opened a holographic newspaper: "Continue working, little mechanical body."
"Got it," Peony retorted, pouting, "Semi-mechanical body."
"You better not always mock me. I'm your superior's superior."
"Loyal drones only care about the superior they are bound to, until their core is incinerated."
"Damn it," Black Instructor muttered, "If I had known, I wouldn't have implemented this strong constraint principle. I'm actually being teased by a loyal drone."
"Peony is a pearl on the crown of human technology. You should count as half a pearl. A semi-mechanical body being bullied by a mechanical body is, in a sense, a senior giving pointers to a junior."
"Shut up!"
"Hehe, you actually still have emotions of anger. The emotional expression of the mechanical face doesn't seem to be so smooth. Do you need some machine oil? Semi, Me, Chanical, Body?"
"Wang Zheng! Turn off this drone's venomous tongue system for me!"
Wang Jixuan's voice came: "I'm doing scientific research, don't disturb me, old man."
"Hee hee, the superior is biased towards Peony. Obviously, this is because Peony has black silk stockings and a maid outfit. Do you want a set too? Semi, Me, Chanical, Body, Superior?"
Old Black Master raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Peony snorted triumphantly, the fingernails painted with light pink nail polish constantly flashing light, continuing to do the work Wang Jixuan had instructed.
… …
With Peony, this loyal drone, as a bodyguard, Wang Jixuan's life and cultivation became much more convenient.
She can guard the door, cook, has unknown combat power, can operate various scientific instruments, and can also help Wang Jixuan maintain his X-Armor, and even sew all kinds of clothes.
— Although most of them are maid outfits that she wears herself.
It is not difficult to see that the research team that developed the loyal drone did put their heart into all aspects.
Wang Jixuan had been eating military canned food all along. After Peony took over the logistics work, the food improved significantly…
She can even stir-fry sugar coloring.
Thus, Wang Jixuan cultivated peacefully for three days.
The late stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm was constantly beckoning to him, but cultivation is like chasing a distant mountain, you must advance step by step.
The Qi Sea slowly expands;
The flesh and blood all over the body are repeatedly nourished;
The soul is constantly transforming towards the nascent soul.
During these three days, a steady stream of information was constantly gathered to Wang Jixuan's eyes through various channels.
Aunt Dragonfly's investigation team had already left, but they returned only a few hours after leaving. This time, they simply didn't approach Fortress 82, and secretly stationed themselves in the desert a few kilometers away.
Obviously, the Spirit Control Council was still trying to force Aunt Dragonfly to take action.
The D5 war zone was not idle either.
Fortress 76 strengthened its defensive positions and detection radar, arming itself into a hedgehog.
Fortress 82 was outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense. The upper city population temporarily migrated towards the middle city, and the upper three levels tried not to retain non-military personnel.
More than five semi-human mechs and twelve special operations teams were distributed near Fortress 82.
A number of armored vehicles dedicated to spirit energy appeared in the Sari Desert, deliberately avoiding Aunt Dragonfly's team's plane.
Aunt Dragonfly should know they were exposed;
She tacitly led two team members to slack off and fish, stopping all activities.
Similarly, all fortresses within the D5 Comprehensive War Zone entered a state of combat readiness, and most of the Spirit Energy User's Homes in the fortresses were confronting the local Purge Teams.
Low-level spirit energy users were in a state of anxiety.
Spirit Energy City was also in a tense atmosphere. Many old spirit energy users were severely allergic to the words 'D5' and 'Devil Commander'.
On this day, Wang Jixuan stopped cultivating and sat early in the morning with Black Instructor on a simple inflatable sofa, watching the projection screen in front of them with the clarity adjusted to the maximum.
Peony wore an exquisite maid outfit, with white silk stockings, cat ear hair clips, and high heels, her slender hands folded in front of her abdomen, standing obediently beside Wang Jixuan.
She was still monitoring the movements in all directions.
The projection screen showed the court hearing that was in progress at the military court.
Today's protagonist, Zhou Zhengde, who had changed into a Zhongshan suit, was sitting in the 'Prosecution' seat in the lower left corner of the screen, next to several military officers.
There were twelve discs behind the prosecution seat.
At this moment, six discs were activated, including Dongfang Zhenghong and the other six senior generals of the D5 Military Region, who appeared here using holographic projection technology, sitting quietly behind their desks.
The other six discs were prepared for representatives of the other major war zones, who had not yet connected.
There were more than a hundred spectators in the courtroom, all of whom were elderly people wearing military uniforms. — This military court was set up near the veterans' sanatorium of the D5 General Headquarters, these were more than a hundred veterans who had once entered Spirit Energy City.
Everyone stood up, and the chief judge and the judge's assistant began to take their seats.
After sitting down again, Zhou Zhengde fiddled with a pen, his expression seeming a little uneasy.
After thinking it over, Zhou Zhengde still took out a communicator.
Ding Ding!
Wang Jixuan took out the communicator from his pocket and looked at it.
Peony asked, "Sir, do you need Peony to help you read the message?"
"No need… find a chair to sit on."
Peony went to the side and moved a folding chair for herself, sat down very ladylike, her upper body upright, her legs together and leaning diagonally, continuing to observe all directions through various detectors.
Black Instructor glanced sideways at the communicator that Wang Jixuan was replying to.
Sure enough, it was the message sent by that kid Zhou Zhengde.
[Little Zhou (Light of Law): The court is about to start.]
[Wang Zheng (Light of Justice): I see it, you look very calm today.]
The latest novels are first published on !
[Ling Tong (Light of Battle): Good luck. Watching.]
[Little Zhou: Encourage me, or scold me a few words, to relieve my pressure and stimulate my fighting spirit. I'm under a bit too much pressure right now.]
Wang Jixuan thought carefully, and a message popped up.
[Ling Tong: If you can't win by arguing, then start a war.]
Daoist Wang smiled dumbly, turned his head to look at Black Instructor, who immediately looked up at the ceiling pretending not to be peeking. Wang Jixuan didn't pay much attention to him.
[Wang Zheng: Remember the previous three points. You can answer a little slower, don't rush.]
[Little Zhou: Alas, it still feels like something is missing.]
Wang Jixuan pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Peony next to him: "You can get the information here synchronously, right?"
"Yes, Sir."
"You've also seen Captain Zhou's personal information, right?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Help me reply with something that can make him high-spirited."
Peony pinched her chin and pondered slightly. A line of text automatically appeared in Wang Jixuan's chat box. He looked at it a few times and sent it out with a smile.
[Wang Zheng: If you can't win this time, I will ask Commander Dongfang to arrange a few blind dates between Dr. Wei Na and bodybuilders.]
In the screen, Zhou Zhengde leaned back slightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
{Xiao Zhou: This has nothing to do with Wei Na. We're over. Okay, they're starting to enter. Watch me perform!}
On the left side of the screen, four figures restrained by electromagnetic shackles appeared in sequence.
Binzhong Zhi, Feng Bangjie, Zong Xiong, Qin Qin.
Eh?
Wang Ji Xuan wondered: "Where's Wei Linzheng?"
"Wei Linzheng is a member of the Spirit Control Council," the black-clothed instructor said with a smile. "Letting him appear would make it difficult to separate Zong Xiong from this incident… Isn't that what you instructed?"
Daoist Wang nodded, watching with rapt attention.
Zhou Zhengde prepared his speech and, along with several military officers, began to elaborate on the spirit energy disasters suffered by Fortress 76 and Fortress 82.
This trial was broadcast to all war zones. Similarly, anywhere in Spirit Energy City with a satellite terminal could watch it simultaneously.
Everything was arranged.
Present evidence of the crime, explain the proof, the judge's gavel falls.
Behind the prosecution's seat, the remaining six seats were lit up one after another.
The image of the destruction of the Outer C District of Fortress 76 in the Ancient Basin War Zone was frozen on the large screens on both sides of the courtroom.
The judge asked: "Spirit energy representatives, you have a total of two minutes for your defense."
A haggard-looking Binzhong Zhi immediately shouted:
"We demand to be tried in Spirit Energy City! You are not qualified to judge us!"
"That's right!"
Uncle Feng, Feng Bangjie, frowned and said:
"We are researchers and spirit energy users, all of whom have made outstanding contributions to humanity, shedding blood and sweat for the survival of mankind!"
"Objection."
Zhou Zhengde raised his hand and said:
"According to our database, although Feng Bangjie has appeared on the front lines a few times, he always hid in the rear and did not directly participate in the battle against the Blade Beasts."
Feng Bangjie rebuked: "You're talking nonsense!"
"Then find a war zone officer who can testify for you. We can connect live."
Zhou Zhengde reminded:
"Within two minutes."
Feng Bangjie was about to speak when Zong Xiong sighed and said in a low voice:
"My hands are stained with blood. I am ashamed of what I have done. I admit that I participated in many unjust investigations. My investigations became the basis for guiding the Judgment to launch attacks on humanity."
"The attack on the Outer C District this time was due to a report issued by the investigation I participated in, which attracted an elite squad from the Spirit Control Council's Judgment Team."
Zhou Zhengde asked: "Is the spirit energy user who destroyed the Outer C District of Fortress 76 in the Ancient Basin War Zone this person in the photo?"
A blurry figure of Mo Feng appeared on the large screens on both sides of the courtroom, along with a clear frontal photo of her.
Zong Xiong shook his head: "I don't know. Our investigation team is only responsible for issuing investigation reports. After the investigation reports are submitted, the Spirit Control Council issues orders for deployment."
Zhou Zhengde frowned: "That Commissioner Wei Linzheng also mentioned the Spirit Control Council, the Judgment Team, the Destruction Team, the Investigation Team, and the various actions of the Spirit Control Council over the past few decades during the interrogation… Is this Spirit Control Council the actual controller of Spirit Energy City?"
A photo appeared on the large screen.
Wei Linzheng sat in a sunny villa, wearing decent clothes, with a collar around his neck, a faint smile on his lips, and wisps of white smoke rising from the teacup in front of him.
— This photo was a candid shot. Wei Linzheng didn't say any information about spirit energy users at all. Zhou Zhengde directed this scene to cover for Zong Xiong.
Zong Xiong sighed: "If Commissioner Wei hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have wanted to say these things… I admit my guilt."
Despair filled Feng Bangjie's eyes;
Qin Qin's eyes were full of incomprehension. How could that gloomy old man, Wei Linzheng, betray Spirit Energy City…
Binzhong Zhi immediately shouted: "Judge! I demand Commissioner Wei to attend!"
Zhou Zhengde's eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"We have already placed Wei Linzheng under deep protection. I think he has already become a target that the Spirit Control Council's Judgment Team must eliminate!"
"Senior Researcher Binzhong, next is your case!"
"You blatantly violated the law, ordering spirit energy users to control the commander of Fortress 82, using family and life safety to coerce the governor of Fortress 82. The chain of evidence is complete!"
"You are still deluded!"
"Spirit Energy City is just an internal organization of humanity, a scientific research city built around the headquarters of the Thirteen Institutes. Who! Gave you the audacity to abandon humanity's position and try to control these fortresses, these last havens of humanity! And who gave you the courage to treat ordinary humans as materials, to turn the fortresses into your blood banks, and to send ordinary humans like cattle and sheep to Spirit Energy City to participate in those experiments with extremely low success rates!"
"Now I must ask again!"
"Why haven't these spirit energy users you illegally increased appeared on our front lines fighting the Blade Beasts!"
"And why are these spirit energy users attacking humans, controlling humans, and trying to establish hegemony within humanity? Humanity still has how many people, still has several billion people! Is that enough for you to squander for a few more years!"
"Answer me! Senior Researcher Binzhong!"
Binzhong Zhi's face was pale.
Suddenly, a constantly shaking image appeared on the large screen next to him.
A technician in the corner immediately shouted: "Someone is trying to invade our system! Trying to project picture information onto the big screen!"
Immediately another technician shouted: "We have defeated the opponent's network attack! Launching a retaliatory attack!"
Zhou Zhengde narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
"Judge! I request to locate the attacker's location and send them an active communication!"
"Permission granted."
