Taoyuanxing         Southwest of China Mainland                                                                                                                �

In the empty square, three-dimensional projection technology restored the entire scene of the press conference of the Tianqi City Administrative Center. Around the square, countless citizens were waiting for this time in anticipation.

"I announce that the Xichuan Municipal People's Government has been established today!"

On TV news, the new chairman of the autonomous region Ding Liecheng and General Secretary Meng Xuegong signed the order to build a city amid warm applause from the cadres of the Autonomous Region Party Committee.

I don’t know who started the beginning, first there was a tremendous cheer, and then the celebration parade began. People held various banners and the symbolic flag of Xichuan City - "a flying dragon placed in a dining plate, revealing its head to smile at the diners". They began to sway across the city with gongs and drums, celebrating the official establishment of their own city.

All shops in the city have hung national flags and slogans at the same time, and the three-dimensional projection signs have been added to the three-dimensional projection signs as a look. Both state-owned and private ones have all put up a projection sign with a 20% discount on the "celebrating the establishment of the city". Even the streets of Sikabro City-Nation are full of colorful flags, and hawkers have taken the opportunity to play discount signs in the city-Nation to attract customers from China.

In the newly built city hall, the municipal party secretary was welcoming the consul of the Skabrou City State and the special envoy of the Lion Empire who came to congratulate them, and by the way, he introduced the strong strength of Nishikawa City and the miraculous urban construction to show off. Then he began to discuss issues such as regional stability and future cooperation.

However, in this happy moment, some people are not happy.

"Honey, we are from Xichuan City, right?" Yu Xinning sighed, smiled, and said cautiously: "It's good to give up the Apocalypse City household registration and settle here, right? Our life here is not worse than that of Apocalypse City. It's more comfortable here and the house is even bigger."

Ye Ying, who was sitting on the other side of the dining table, also sighed, looked at her, then stood up and walked into the room without saying a word. After a while, he walked in with a battery-sized thing, threw it on the table, and then picked up his electronic detector, and as soon as he got closer, the radio waves began to appear - this was an old-fashioned eavesdropper.

"Is there any difference in household registration where? When I get here, people are reluctant to let us go." Ye Ying said with an expression of indifference.

"Is their tmd finished?"

Yu Xinning was furious. She suddenly picked up the eavesdropping device and put it in her pocket. She didn't care about Ye Ying's obstruction and walked out with great strides...

It was not until the evening that Yu Xinning walked back exhausted, her face full of anger and helplessness. In a hurry, she went directly to the Security Department of the Military Research Base and Peng Dingyuan of the 709th Brigade. When the Security Department heard that her confidential personnel were being monitored, she attached great importance to it, but because there was no sign or information on the eavesdropping device. Of course, it was unlikely that it would come from the Lion Empire and the Skabro City State. So she followed the leaders of the army to the Public Security Bureau and the Security Department, which may have these equipment, and questioned the supervisors of the two departments.

The supervisors of both departments naturally denied that their departments had installed eavesdroppers (they had no right to control the Tiger Talisman Operation), and said that this eavesdropper is an old model and is no longer used in their departments. Regarding Xu Xinning's experience, they were also indignant and said that they could jointly investigate the source of the eavesdropper. Of course, as a few people who knew that there was an existence in the 2028 army, the spearhead in their hearts had long been pointed.

After comforting Yu Xinning, Peng Dingyuan sent someone to drive her home...

"The deputy brigade commander said that for safety reasons, we can move out here and live in the dormitory of the military base. The conditions may be a little worse than here, but it is guaranteed to be safe. Anyone who dares to install a wiretap machine there can be dealt with directly as a crime of espionage." Yu Xinning said gentlely to Ye Ying.

"Forget it, don't bother! Move out here and move into a military base with stricter management - the installation of eavesdropping machines and surveillance there is open." Ye Ying looked like she had already seen it, and gently stroked his wife's hair: "You have worked hard for two weeks, and you finally had these two days of vacation, and it was just a waste of one day. If I had known this, I would just throw the eavesdropping machine into a car. Thank you for your military for your kindness! We live here, at worst, just be careful."

Yu Xinning snuggled up to him: "Then let's just let it go? We will check the eavesdropping device every day in the future? What if their technology improves and we can't find out what we have in our hands?"

"Then let them listen. We didn't do anything wrong, we are not afraid of ghosts calling."

"That group of people in 2028 are so full that they have nothing to do. They deal with their own people all day long." Yu Xinning cursed annoyedly.

"Who made us all special groups? For ordinary people, it's a threat." Ye Ying immediately pretended to be enlightened: "Now the secret of the Asians has been unlocked, and I don't know which day it will be our turn. In fact, there are quite a few people who know us now. When our secret is leaked one day, it will not be just a problem with the 2028 army, but a problem with the survival of our group."

"What are you afraid of? After the secret of the Asians appeared, they lived a good life. Even a band was there. Now people from all over the world are proud to have an Asian girlfriend. At least we have made so much contribution to the autonomous region, even if we unlock it, we will make a contribution to the world."

"That's the Asians, which are different from our ethnic groups. For most Chinese, if a foreigner has achieved success, it is no problem to propose constructive ideas. But if a Chinese, a Chinese, a person of our ethnic group has achieved success and proposed ideas, the first thing that will inevitably be the doubts, slander, or even criticism of his ethnic group. Then suddenly a group of compatriots like us who can directly manipulate warships, build factories in an instant, and even have the ability to absolutely surpass ordinary people. What do they think? Congratulations on our ability? Or should we regard us as a threat?"

"I didn't think it was a pleasant experience for so many years to cooperate with the army, and they were not hostile to us?"

"That's because you can provide them with everything they need, and they are even more of a tool to save lives on the battlefield, and they have strict discipline. Besides, every time they come into contact with is only a small number of people, and they are the kind of people who can keep secrets. When there are fewer people, everyone knows how to think with their brains, but when there are more people, the thoughts of following the crowd and the collective fear will take the mainstream. Besides, ordinary people don't have so many concerns."

"No, Taoyuanxing's security is pretty good. And even if our existence is announced above, the list of members of the 709th Brigade will not be disclosed. Ordinary people can't see the difference." Yu Xinning said with a little indifferent on the surface, but her expression was obviously a little worried, and she couldn't help thinking about the assumptions proposed by Ye Ying.

"The conflicts between special classes and ordinary classes are a matter of time sooner or later... Forget it! Forget it! Maybe I'm thinking too much. I've been busy with work recently, and the matter of eavesdropping has appeared, which makes people more pessimistic." Ye Ying knew that this kind of "ideological work" must not be rushing to achieve success. She must be subtly moved little by little in daily life. First, a heuristic instigation, and then lead her according to her own ideas in daily life, so she stopped.

"I'll get you some supper, I'm hungry." Ye Ying stood up and said.

"Yes!" Yu Xinning said with some loss: "I've been busy for a day, and I've been angry all day long because of the people from the Public Security Bureau and the Security Department. I'm so tired."

Ye Ying hurriedly brought the prepared meal over. Yu Xinning immediately started to eat it in big mouthfuls, and then comforted her while eating:

"Actually, there is no need to be afraid. Maybe you are from the United States and always feel that conflicts between the elite and the civilian class are inevitable. I grew up in a socialist country. Our ultimate goal is to achieve communism and directly elevate everyone to the elite class." Yu Xinning put down the bowl and said mysteriously: "I'm not afraid to tell you that we have heard that someone has proposed internal research (internal academic discussions, not real plans). In the future, all human beings have our abilities and can use cosmic energy here, so that Taoyuan Star will have a brand new society and there will be no class conflicts."

"Why can't it be? No matter how many crystals there are in the 709th Brigade, it cannot supply every human being on average. At that time, there will still be an opposition between those with crystals and those without crystals. Besides, how do you turn ordinary people into people like us?"

"I don't know very well, it might be genetic engineering or something."

"Genetic engineering!" Ye Ying smiled bitterly: "You think genetic engineering is so easy to do. In addition to technical problems, there must be various experiments, or even human experiments to achieve results. If you people really plan to conduct scientific research at that level, then every "special person" here will be their guinea pig. Or you are currently working well and dare not move easily and have to continue using it. It is hard to say what we retreated." Ye Ying paused, and then suddenly said with a smile as if they discovered the New World: "Maybe, they really have this idea. First put various pressure on me and find my problems, and then they can find out the so-called crimes and sentence me to death. Then they can use my living person or corpse to do various experiments openly. I am the first victim of the magician in the future!"

Ye Ying showed a jokey expression, and Yu Xinning forced a smile, but her inner uneasiness was also increasing...

Seeing her expression, Ye Ying was secretly proud - even in the 709th Brigade, there were various political education, but those educations had actually been in a formality. In contrast, the experiences of her lover and this subtle education would sooner or later turn her into her own pawn and provide convenience for her actions in Feilong Valley.

However, even though Yu Xinning has not disclosed the situation of the Feilong Valley base, Ye Ying also knew that it was a base with strict defense. He had to find a way to break through so that he could use the secrets he had to shut down the entire Feilong Valley again, so that all the monsters there could wake up, so as to create chaos. His wife must be the key figure in capturing the fortress from within.

However, first of all, his question is how to increase the time he spent with Yu Xinning so that he can continue to brainwash her.

Apocalypse City                                                            

Just as Ye Ying was planning his "impossible task", the Apocalypse City, thousands of miles away, also ushered in his sixth generation of leadership.

Yan Xiaofeng and Zou Dongming, who had already stepped down, shook hands in the administrative center with a relaxed look, and then walked away separately with light steps. Since taking office, they have never been able to push all the troubles to others as easily as they are today. Now, they can finally start their own relaxed and comfortable retirement life, playing games, fishing, and traveling around like Hua Ping and others.

After all, the generous pension and housing conditions of senior executives in the autonomous region are much better than the various clean and dark rules of integrity during their employment, and the AI ​​monitoring that is not in line with human relations. Not to mention that there are countless brain-burning and troublesome problems waiting to be solved by themselves.

The new chairman of the autonomous region, Ding Liecheng, looked at the various reports that he could not see before he took office with a sad face, and understood the various hidden dangers behind the overall prosperity and stability of the autonomous region. The new General Secretary Meng Xuegong was also listening to Sun Pengyi's report on the 2028 troops' operations with disbelief.

"How far have we studied the opening of the gantry?"

After listening to those internal reports of headaches, Ding Liecheng asked - he had realized that opening the dragon gate so that part of the responsibility was to put some of the blame on his superiors. The best way to avoid resigning like Ouyang Long, Xu Haotong, and Cheng Yuan.

In fact, to the present of the autonomous region, only Yan Xiaofeng and Zou Dongming have "retired after success".

"Five years ago, we used the time weapon to test it, but it did not work. There was still no way to solve the problem. The gate has not changed at present. Although there are dispatched personnel in the Longmen, no opening experiments have been conducted. According to Professor Sha, we must continue to monitor and check the movements of the time barrier there every day. Only when the relevant parameters change, that is when we can try to open it again. However, there has not changed any changes in the relevant data so we still have to wait."

Professor Chen Yongjun, a science and technology consultant, replied.

"Let's focus on the autonomous region itself. The problem of the autonomous region is not small now." Meng Xuegong said with a gloomy face: "There are 115 people on the 2028 military surveillance list, including 37 people who have to accept this kind of supervision because they are in important positions, and 78 other 'dissidents' from the public. At the end of last year, there were only 41 people. Now it is only April, and they are almost doubled."

"Don't many people follow Gu Hanzhi to Luzhou to survive in the wilderness? Why are there still so unhappy people? Could it be the crime of random stability in 2028 to demonstrate their status?"

"It would be great if that was true." Meng Xuegong projected the electronic version of the record directly: "Online messages, QQ messages, WeChat messages, and party monitoring reports are all perfect separatists, at least 10 of them have been to prison. And you can read the report in February. After the defection incident was announced, there were actually a few idiots with equipment trying to cross the so-called "loophole" in Luling City and go to Luzhou to join Gu Hanzhi. After those people were arrested, they still swear that our autonomous region government was deliberately blasting Gu Hanzhi and others and deliberately making fake videos. They had already established a utopia in Luzhou and were waiting for people to enjoy it."

"Then let them go! Those who commit suicide can persuade them a few words, but those who commit suicide don't need to persuade them, they can kick them."

"Yes, the guards let them go. Then half of them died on the mainland, and the remaining hungry ones ran back to death. They were told that they had lost their Chinese nationality and could not return to the autonomous region. They were all trolling around the border line and complaining about why we didn't stop them at the beginning. Well, let's not talk about these treacherous relatives in the autonomous region, even though their relatives in the autonomous region actually jointly sued the autonomous region government, saying that their children ran away from home and we failed to effectively prevent their children from leaving. Do you think we will keep the loopholes in the border in the future? Although I also hope to drive all the treacherous deceased out sooner and let them die. But this parent does not care about it and will push the responsibility to us when something happens. This is not something that can't stand it."

"Let them make trouble. Anyway, they can't win the lawsuit. They can't build momentum here, but it's more important to drive away those who are in the second-tier provinces in the future."

"Also, in the secret report in 2028, we also criticized the grassroots qualities of many of our units. I agree with this. I have seen the team leader of the Tiger Talisman Operation before, and he also complained to me, saying that the first generation of Tiger Talisman personnel is very professional, but now, most of the professional personnel are gradually retiring, and the professional qualities of those minor generations are much worse. Moreover, the funding from the superiors is insufficient, and the equipment has not been updated for many years. Just yesterday, they had someone else to put a wiretap in the home of the target person and were found by others, but they were still a military family. The military security department, the local public security department, and the national security department, began to doubt each other. In a while, they had to make arrangements to suppress this matter and add some experienced Tiger Talisman Operation team members to Xichuan City."

"There are also these experienced people who provide Guoan with some points. Li Yuanxing's report also stated that there is a shortage of people at the grassroots level, especially those experienced business personnel."

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both understanding why their ex was so relaxed and happy when handing over work - the feeling of Shuai Guo was always the best.

"By the way, Li Yuanxing has just taken over as Minister of Security, why didn't he come today?" Ding Liecheng asked the secretary.

"Chairman, haven't I told you? He said there is something happening in the empire, so I have to observe it myself and report it tomorrow." The secretary replied hurriedly.

Ding Liecheng slapped his head and said with a sad look:

"Why did I forget? Alas! We have so many things ourselves, so don't make trouble in the empire!"

At the same time, the imperial capital

Even after many ups and downs, this most prosperous city on the continent in the past still maintains its unique style today. The traces of the coup that shocked the world were no longer visible. With the city center square and the towering palace buildings as the center, the wide roads with wide connections are covered with solar street lights. In addition to pedestrians and carriages and occasionally passing Chinese cars on the road, they see more bicycles and even travellers passing by, which makes them feel like traveling through time and space.

The various buildings around are obviously much taller than before, and the building materials have also changed. The styles of the buildings have also become much richer, and even Chinese, Western, Japanese, and even Arabic buildings have appeared (there are students studying architecture in Chinese schools). Many shops have hung neon lights eliminated from China, making the city more colorful.

Compared with before World War I, there were several times more Chinese goods on the market. With the spread of wireless power system base stations, various Chinese electrical appliances were in short supply in the market, becoming the largest sales product, followed by Chinese wine, Chinese food and comfortable textiles.

The clothing of the people of the empire has also changed a lot. With the invasion of various Chinese textiles, those modern clothing that were wearing compact not only gradually became popular in the empire, but also influenced the fashion of the empire. The traditional empire robe has also been improved, integrating some modern elements. People have also begun to get used to wearing pants - otherwise they may truly experience what "ache" is when riding a bicycle.

The embassy distributed in the center of the city and the China Plaza at four corners of the city are still crowded. However, except for those gorgeously dressed nobles and businessmen, a small number of ordinary-dressed middle-class people will occasionally come here to experience modern shopping, or live a modern life in the rooms of the square hotel.

The large screen on the square is gone, just like the TV monitors of this era, it has long since left the stage of history, replaced by ubiquitous 3D projection. In addition to news, various advertising videos package this place into a fairy tale-like world, which amazed the audience around them.

China's weather forecasts and news have been broadcast on-demand every day, allowing even the lowest-level people to feast their eyes.

Although there are still many "road dumps" here every day, the city's garbage collection and sewage treatment still cannot cover the entire city, compared with other places, this place is the most prosperous place except for Chinese cities.

Although the empire queen Pingna is getting older, she is still the undisputed ruler here. The formerly arrogant old aristocratic forces in the capital have become increasingly weak. The rising new aristocrats have begun to increase their influence on the imperial capital with their industries and strong capital. The Jinyi Guards were wearing casual clothes and inspected all over the city, and then informed Pingna about what they saw so that they could have a certain understanding of their rule.

Of course, the prosperity of the imperial capital today has confirmed the correctness of Pingna's resignation to China. As for whether the empire will become a vassal or be annexed by China in the future, ordinary people cannot see that far, and those new aristocrats who are profit-oriented have some capitalist attributes, so it is natural that they don't matter if they have to make profits. Only some old scholars and a small number of old aristocrats are still trying their best to denounce Pingna's "selling the country and seeking honor" behavior, expressing concern for the future of the empire. However, under the public opinion controlled by China, they have long been marginalized.

Chinese Embassy

This place always looks like people coming and going. Although shopping malls are not as crowded as China Plaza, those who come are truly dignitaries. As for the procedures for taking regular airships to enter the free trade zone, there are endless businessmen.

The school is a cruel place. Students from all walks of life who are studying here will get up before dawn (using a closed-lounge school) to memorize Chinese characters and texts. Then they drag their tired figures to eat breakfast and class. They are all outstanding talents of the empire. Whether they are from nobles or civilians, they all come to study after exams. At this point, they envy the female knights who entered school directly back then. Because students who fail the final exam will be kicked out of the school, regardless of their status. Once they have completed their studies here, they will rush to speak Chinese, whether they are state organs, nobles, or chamber of commerce. If they can be admitted to Apocalypse University for further study with the best score, they will even have the opportunity to immigrate to the autonomous region in the future, live a modern and comfortable life, and completely bid farewell to the backward world here.

Of course, these public areas are separate from the core areas of the embassy and have clear boundaries.

Monitoring room

The new Minister of Security Li Yuanxing sat in the surveillance room and looked at the scene taken by the drone, with a very serious expression on his face.

The subject is a three-story old building in the imperial capital that was bought by someone. It is not far from the city center and the commercial street is not considered prosperous or deserted. It is a well-known place, and there are not many people entering and leaving. No matter from any angle, it should not be a place worthy of attention from the security department.

However, Li Yuanxing's eyes were always staring here, which made him connect to the strange movements of some people in the empire recently. Including the magicians of the Jinyi Guard and the empire's official resigned one after another. Usually, the magicians who were scattered around the world were seen and gathered together and started buying houses to settle down, etc.

Not only the empire, but also the same phenomenon occurred in the Lion Empire, the Golden Moon Kingdom, and even the Ronya. Related to the attack on Cai Yuru on the Black Street, Li Yuanxing naturally connected it.

Through the drone, you can see that the brand is written with a few big words in imperial and Chinese with traditional dyes:

"Imperial City Magister Guild"

Li Yuanxing shook his head, his face looked a little ugly, and he said to himself:

"Are they planning to unite the mages all over the world?"
Chapter completed!
