Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 706 - 405. Heaven Reaching Tower 2

Most of the conglomerates' headquarters are concentrated in the capital, so the economic output of Han Guang City accounts for almost one-third of Dongli Kingdom.

With its powerful economic strength and position as the power center, the government pays immense attention to the city's security, making Han Guang City the safest city in Dongli Kingdom.

The reason Dongli People consider their country one of the safest on Canglan Star is largely due to Han Guang City.

At this moment.

Han Guang City North District, Qingji Palace.

Dozens of high-ranking officials are gathered in the conference room, discussing the dissenting voices emerging online.

Everyone feels overwhelmed as this wave of dissent cannot be suppressed.

Everyone senses that a huge storm is about to erupt, and no means can stop it now.

A high-ranking official said with a troubled expression: "I suspect Qingji Palace may have stepped into Eastern Great Xia's trap.

"Great Xia People have informed the world about the frost disaster, declaring it extremely dangerous.

"Before our country was prepared, Guangren City experienced the world's first frost disaster.

"According to 'Tai Chi Platform' evaluation, rescuing Guangren City is highly challenging, and sending the army rashly might result in more casualties than rescued civilians.

"Qingji Palace wanted to request Carmenian troops to intervene, but the Carmenians rejected our request, knowing Guangren City is extremely hazardous.

"After careful discussion, we decided to strategically abandon Guangren City and temporarily not disclose the true situation there.

"Yet, Great Xia People have deliberately guided the ignorant mob online through propaganda, leading them to attack Qingji Palace."

Someone immediately expressed agreement.

"Makes perfect sense."

"I think so too."

Another high-ranking official asserted: "Great Xia People's signals can cover our nation entirely, it must be another powerful black technology of Great Xia, capable of completely breaking through the interceptive barriers; Great Xia People's actions are sheer force."

This was not new information, everyone at the meeting was already aware of this point.

No one spoke.

Because the ability shown by Great Xia People is terrifying.

After Great Xia People covered the entire territory, the information department requested Carmenian assistance, but even the Carmenians were shocked.

A second passed.

A third high-ranking official suggested a plan: "We can lodge a protest through the foreign affairs department, demanding Great Xia cease these forceful actions."

No one responded to him.

Because that's a totally bad idea, it might even be spun by Great Xia People to humiliate Dongli Kingdom globally.

Everyone's eyes turned to the figure seated at the head of the table.

This is Qingji Palace's head—Jing Yutai.

He is just fifty this year, yet his face looks like a sixty-year-old, with very noticeable eye bags.

Everyone can see the tremendous pressure has overwhelmed the head.

Jing Yutai sighed with a weary face and asked an unrelated question: "Where are the Carmenians now?"

Someone immediately replied: "Earlier, several helicopters from Carmenia Base took off and have landed at the outskirts of Guangren City. It should be their Superpower Users, and two Carmenian divisions have started moving towards Guangren City."

Someone couldn't help but say: "Those greedy Carmenians are certainly after the Frost Ganoderma born in the frost disaster area."

A high-ranking official instantly grasped the head's intention: "Your Excellency Head, are you suggesting we inform the public about the Carmenians' movements, to show the nationals that Qingji Palace isn't doing nothing?"

Another high-ranking official realized it too and corrected: "Carmenia Federal Army is an elite force, Qingji Palace sent elite troops to aid Guangren City."

Jing Yutai squeezed out a faint smile on his aged face and nodded: "Exactly! Elite indeed!"

Sending elite forces to aid Guangren City is naturally much better than the domestic army.

Everyone realized this is a good way to resolve the predicament, at least it can delay for a while.

Just then.

A Qingji Palace attendant rushed into the conference room in panic: "Your Excellency Head, the confidential meeting minutes on 'not aiding Guangren City' has just been publicly posted on Great Xia People's disaster response app."

The conference room was instantly frozen.

An idiot knows that at this critical moment, the weight of this document is akin to a huge Heping Bullet.

Yet the head remained rather calm.

He glanced around and calmly said: "Hold a press conference, I'll announce my resignation as head there."

Faced with such dire circumstances, only the head resigning in disgrace can quell the rage of millions of nationals.

Just five minutes later.

"Bang!"

A gunshot was heard.

The whole Qingji Palace instantly fell into chaos.

A sensational piece of news quickly swept Dongli Kingdom's network—the head was assassinated!

Guangren City.

Cui Donghao and his girlfriend are trapped in the villa, still waiting desperately for rescue. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The girlfriend is completely engrossed in the Heaven Reaching Tower's network world with her smartphone in hand.

Because this open world has no official restrictions and allows access to all kinds of information.

"Oppa!"

The girlfriend suddenly exclaimed.

Cui Donghao, who was dazing off, snapped back to reality: "What's up?"

The girlfriend said: "Great Xia People made a prediction that Guangren City's frost disaster will last three days, and then the extreme cold cyclone will dissipate, with temperatures rising rapidly."
