MTL - After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain-Chapter 165 165
165/Fanwai
As soon as Tang Xun'an arrived at the headquarters, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
He was called over for a meeting, saying that there was an important task that he needed to complete.
Generally speaking, when the headquarters say this, it usually means that the task is not easy to do.
It is said that the sky is falling and a tall man is holding it. Tang Xun'an is 188, which is quite tall.
There were a total of 9 participants this time. Tang Xun'an glanced, all of them were acquaintances.
Since the spread of pollution diseases, human beings have had to abandon some seriously polluted areas and move to other places to live. Today, several districts are very close together.
The atmosphere was a little depressing.
Tang Xun'an pulled away the chair and sat down silently, waiting for the task.
Minister Wang of the Special Operations Department coughed: "Today, we are gathered here to... celebrate our mutual friend, Tang Xun'an, who turns 95! Happy birthday!"
After speaking, fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky.
The conference room was lit up with headlights, and colored streamers with gold foil splashed on Tang Xun'an one after another.
The "Happy Birthday Song" that never goes out of style was played on the radio.
Michael walked in with a large cake, double-layered.
"It was specially made by the scientific research institute. It took me a month to prepare the materials. The light golden rose on the top was picked by me at the botanical garden."
Luochuan Botanical Garden, S-level pollution area.
There are many associated pollutants in it, and rose vine is one of them. Taking it can reduce the degree of disease. It is one of the materials that are favored by special medicines made by research institutes. In the black market, a flower can be fired up to 30,000 contribution points.
"thanks."
Tang Xun'an raised the cake knife and cut it into ten pieces with five knives.
Because he lived too long, Tang Xun'an didn't care much about his birthday. What's more, there are many times when the birthday and the time of the mission collide, and it is rare that there is a person at the headquarters.
The inner core of the cake tastes like beef, and the juice is oozing out when you bite into it. It must have been purified with something from the pollutants.
Tang Xun'an just took off the bark stopper on his face when he heard Minister Wang say, "But this time I'm looking for you, there is indeed a task that needs your assistance."
"The headquarters needs you to go to the Crescent God Country and sign a contract. It is mainly about the joint development of the No. 136 polluted area, and the border peace and mutual assistance agreement between the two human living areas."
Polluted areas with a higher degree of danger are forbidden areas, but because of their low pollution values and rich materials, medium and low-level polluted areas have always been the objects of competition among major regions.
At present, there are three human living areas in the world. The Apocalypse Coexistence Zone in the center of the mainland, the Crescent Kingdom in the west, and Oshima in the southern hemisphere.
After more than a century of development, the Deep Sea Church has long since become the church with the largest number of believers on land, and it has completed the altruism of the regional government and realized the unity of politics and religion.
Tang Xun'an didn't feel good about this church.
In the past mission, he has contacted the Apocalypse believers in this church.
Believers believe that becoming a pollutant is the end of evolution and a return to the embrace of God. Therefore, they are not afraid of death in the process of battle, and they usually do not reject some human transformations with extremely high mortality rates. In short, I don't think of myself as a person very much.
Tang Xun'an nodded slightly: "Yes."
"The godson of the New Moon God Kingdom just turned 20 last month, and I heard that he is about to enter the WTO." Minister Wang added, "I heard that the godson is from the Pope of God Kingdom. Parents and children, they have been well hidden in the past, and they have followed their father to experience all over the world. This time, I can also collect information."
Tang Xun'an: "Yes."
Just after his birthday, Tang Xun'an boarded a special plane to the Oro Plain, accompanied by his deputy Bai Ze.
Tang Xun'an is not keen on politics. What's more, maintaining social stability in this era is a very brain- and energy-consuming thing. His only use in his career is because he is very well-known around the world, and he can sign contracts on behalf of the living area.
He only needs to sharpen himself to the sharpest knife.
The plane has a total of twelve hours.
Tang Xun'an turned on the computer and checked the newly entered Apocalypse files one by one.
What is recorded here are the newly awakened Apocalypse in the survival area.
Every year, Tang Xun'an will read it again.
The headquarters thought he might be looking for his successor.
Only Tang Xun'an knew exactly who he was looking for.
Sure enough, this year is still nothing. But he is 95 years old.
It has been 66 years since the last time I met Lu Yan.
The signing site is at the Opera House in the heart of the city.
At the end of the day, everything is simple.
Since the abnormal spread of pollution two decades ago, there has been less and less land belonging to human beings, and people have gradually lost their recreational activities. The palatial opera house was transformed into an office hall.
Probably in order to show the solemnity to the guests, there was an orchestra playing on the stage.
Tang Xun'an was seated on the side of the delegation. For some reason, his mood today was filled with anxiety that he could not vent.
To ease this emotion, Tang Xun'an forced himself to review the agreement word by word.
All agreements are pre-determined and have legal effects, but everyone knows that this is only a temporary, friendly form of expression. As long as one party's strength is weakened, the other forces are happy to take a bite.
After the disaster, in addition to the sharply reduced population and territory, the order of the entire civilization also came to the verge of collapse.
Tang Xun'an arrived at his destination at 6 pm, and the signing ceremony was at 8 pm.
The embassy in Tianqi region declined the banquet and planned to leave after signing the agreement.
The believers of the New Moon God Kingdom looked at each other, and finally said: "Then please wait a moment, we will go to see the Luna Throne."
Just like the headquarters used s-f to divide the Apocalypse, the New Moon God Kingdom also has its own standards. The highest level is called the God Throne, which represents the spiritual power threshold of more than 8,000.
Luna Throne is the honorary title given to the godson by the believers.
A 20-year-old god, anyone who sees it will say something terrible.
About ten minutes later, the doors of the Opera House opened. The first ones that flew in were a few birds with flower baskets in their mouths.
The whole hall seemed to be a little brighter, and colorful petals were falling from the flower baskets. Even the orchestra on the stage changed to a more holy and gorgeous tune.
Bai Ze complained in a low voice, "The pomp is so grand, is this a feudal restoration?"
This godson's pomp is really great. Not only flowers opened the way, but also four believers held huge platinum two-color umbrellas to open the way for the throne of God.
But compared to the gorgeous decoration, the most striking thing is the face of the godson.
It's very beautiful, and with the baroque style clothes, the whole person looks very expensive.
Bai Ze waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Tang Xun'an to complain with him, so he couldn't help but look back.
As a result, Tang Xun'an's eyes stick to other people's faces like magnets.
An unexpected surprise.
Bai Ze was puzzled: "Why have you been staring at other people's godson?"
Tang Xun'an tried to look away, but failed: "Isn't it nice?"
"Good-looking." Even if they were from different camps, Bai Ze would admit the beauty of this goddess, "But I can't describe your eyes. It's like the first time the Huns Khan saw the Tang Dynasty. The beautiful and pro-princess who came here... I thought it was an arranged marriage to make a living, but I didn't expect to make a profit. That kind of thing, do you understand?"
Tang Xun'an didn't understand very well.
Lu Yan's name is Lu Yan.
Tang Xun'an stared at the signature on the agreement for a long time, and felt that the word "ordinary" looked very cute.
Throughout the whole process, Lu Yan's expression was extraordinarily indifferent, and his silver eyes were like the moon in the sky, full of alienation. You can't even hear the emotion in your voice.
The accident happened at the end of the signing ceremony.
The ground shook violently without warning.
The lights in the hall went out in an instant, the surroundings were pitch black, and human voices sounded in the darkness.
"It's an earthquake, hide first!"
Almost all of the people present are the Apocalypse. Although the spiritual power thresholds are different, it is fortunate that there is no need to worry about casualties.
During the shaking, the ceiling of the top floor of the opera house fell, and the marble blocks smashed to the ground.
Almost subconsciously, Tang Xun'an opened the dragon wings behind him to block Lu Yan.
The stones behind it may have been reinforced with special materials and are very heavy.
Tang Xun'an let out a grunt from his nose.
Lu Yan raised his head, his eyes were a little surprised.
Although young, he has always been incompatible with the weak. I didn't expect that one day, I would be protected by a stranger.
He knew who this person was, Tang Xun'an, codenamed Tyrant. The strongest apocalypse of mankind so far.
Lu Yan also knew more, even though Lu Cheng and Jiang Yue didn't tell him.
This signing ceremony is a bureau targeting Tang Xun'an.
They want Tang Xun'an to die here.
Not only because Tang Xun'an belonged to other camps, but also because Lu Cheng had a precognition dream.
Lu Cheng said that he dreamed that Tang Xun'an killed Lu Yan.
"He is the biggest obstacle on your way to becoming a god!"
When talking about this person, Lu Cheng's huge eyes couldn't hide his anger.
Several huge gaps were cracked in the ground, and the pollutants in the ground were drilled out of the gaps. It has a body like a reptile, but it has ferocious mouthparts that are enough to tear apart all flesh.
Several believers were silently gnawed on the ground, and in just a few breaths, not even bones were left.
Tang Xun'an hugged Lu Yan and flew into the air, frowning deeply.
Lu Yan's initial talent is omniscience.
As a result, some fragmented descriptions often flashed through Lu Yan's mind.
For example now.
Lu Yan listened to Tang Xun'an's heartbeat and realized one thing, Tang Xun'an loved him.
No, it's love, it's love.
This made Lu Yan very puzzled.
When he was very young, Lu Cheng and Jiang Yue had told him that his goal was to become a god, and he was the only **** in this world.
He is the godson of the church, the future heir of the kingdom of God, and the **** itself that the believers believe in.
Lu Yan observed the world, but never blended in.
Under the guidance of his father, he devoured kingfish and pollutants.
Lu Yan is very young, but stronger than anyone imagined.
Unless it is a high-level pollutant, it is actually difficult to kill Tang Xun'an in a physical sense with the existing methods.
But Tang Xun'an is not invincible, his mental state is worse than many people imagine.
For this reason, Lu Cheng made a special trip to Changjia and made a deal with the Holy Spirit.
He asked for a small brain flower from the Holy Spirit.
If Tang Xun'an dies unexpectedly, the suspicion of the New Moon God Kingdom is obviously the biggest. But if the godson is also on the scene, it's entirely possible to blame pollutants and accidents.
The only variable here is Lu Yan. They raised Lu Yan to grow up, but he was not brought up to look like they expected.
He is strong, but not obedient. Even Lu Cheng and Jiang Yue could not control Lu Yan's will.
Lu Cheng was betting that Lu Yan would stay out of it forever.
Now, Lu Yan is in Tang Xun'an's arms, put his hand on his shoulder, and then slightly curled his fingers and flicked.
His movements arc very small.
So small that in the chaos, no one noticed, he bounced off a small brain flower that fell from the sky.
The cerebellar flower "slapped" and fell to the ground, being gnawed clean by the pollutants on the ground.
...
...
The earthquake lasted for two minutes.
Since the pollution spread, the frequency of natural disasters has increased significantly.
Volcanic eruptions, blizzards, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods... The world is as fragile as a glass ball full of holes.
Although the earthquake was abrupt, it was indeed a natural disaster.
Tang Xun'an used the dragon's breath to solve the pollutants, and carefully placed Lu Yan on the ground.
The theatre has been reduced to ruins.
The other party's silver eyes looked at him, but he didn't speak.
Tang Xun'an was inexplicably nervous, but fortunately outsiders couldn't see it.
He asked, "Can I have your contact information?"
Around, the believers of the Deep Sea Society couldn't help but glared at the stranger, standing between the two: "Stay away from our godson!"
Only Lu Yan thought for a moment, then replied softly, "Yes."
