Chapter 173 Homecoming

After the last light of dusk disappeared below the horizon, the last convoy of men evacuated from Jiazhou.

According to Huang Lei, the reason for the delay is that there are still differences in internal opinions. In the end, more than 100 people were unwilling to join the settlement.

"This is all fate..." Huang Lei was very depressed when he was speaking with Tangning.

"That's their choice." Tangning said, "We can't change everyone's mind. Brother Huang, you've done a good job."

The convoy moved forward quietly, without turning on the headlights, without any light, and the driving was automatically controlled by Xiaozhi through Skynet.

But the convoy was very nervous. According to intelligence, the fish tide had already entered Qingyi River and Dadu River first, and the first batch of large fish began to migrate in Dawan Marsh of Dadu River in Jiazhou.

"Did you hear that?" A young man in the car asked a middle-aged man, "Uncle Zhang, what's that sound?"

"This is the sound of big fish scrambling for the beach." The middle-aged man held the barrel of a regular automatic rifle in his hand: "It's already half a month late, what a crime."

"Fish schools will spawn in Dawan, and then the Dawan swamp will become a nursery for needles, and when the needles grow into fry, they will swim back into the river."

"Jiazhou belongs to nature." The young man said, "We shouldn't have come."

"We didn't want to come." The middle-aged man said, "It's the superiors who decided to fight, so many people died..."

"Uncle, when we get to the settlement, are we not allowed to believe in religion?"

"It's definitely not going to be allowed, but ah, it's not necessarily a bad thing... Let's endure it a little longer, and it will settle down after a while..."

……

……

North of Dezhou, Luojiang Huangzhen, a group of people are meeting and whispering in a dark room on the third basement floor.

The people here are all dressed in black robes, covering them from head to toe, and they use voice changers.

The third underground floor, if it is not connected to ground equipment, can block all signals.

A voice said: "According to the news from the tower, the Yellow Beast Envoy is dead."

"Is the news confirmed?"

"It's basically confirmed that Jiazhou Skynet has been taken back by the system and redistributed resources. With such a big movement, unless Huang Xunjie dies, he will not hand it over."

"And it was killed when it went online, so it will be judged as timely death by Skynet." Another voice said.

"Then there is only one possibility. The Yellow Beast Envoy was attacked and killed while dealing with Skynet affairs. Such people will only be people around him." This time it was a woman's voice.

"That's not necessarily true." The black-robed man with a child's voice said: "Not to mention anything else, everyone here has this ability."

"But ants don't have such ability." The woman's voice said again.

"Tuktuk." The black-robed man sitting behind the desk tapped the tabletop with a "magic weapon" made of a strange bone, signaling for everyone to be quiet: "The weapons of ants should not be underestimated. After the invention of the magnetic storm weapon, the pattern of settlements has undergone a complete change. This point, no matter what, don’t forget that Huang Xunjie is the person who despises the power of settlements the most, and he has also become the person who died the fastest. This is a lesson. "

"Yes, the leader is right." The man in black robe closest to the leader said: "Our task is to prevent the Academy of Sciences from developing the E virus vaccine, or let the E virus vaccine be used by me. Huang Xunjie put the cart before the horse , repeatedly clashed and contradicted, the leader agreed to give him a try regardless of previous suspicions, and generously handed over the Bing Mirage Sword to him, what is the result?"

The head teacher raised his hand and stopped him from continuing: "Everyone should always remember what the Holy See said, but don't take it too seriously. Our purpose is to immunize everyone in the end, but the way to immunize is to cooperate with the joint council. Quite the opposite."

"The joint council regards the virus as a scourge and the native immune body as a heresy, which is against the laws of nature."

"And we believe that the original immune body is a great progress for human beings. It is the first group of people who can master and use supernatural powers. They are pioneers and explorers."

"We are the beneficiaries of nature, and our ultimate goal is that everyone can be us!"

Everyone put their hands on their chests, bowed their heads and recited: "The sky is far away, and my way is not alone."

The Pope continued: "Huang Xunjie's action will inevitably fail. A consensus has been reached in the church long ago. Therefore, this incident will not cause losses to the church. Therefore, everyone should not worry too much."

"But that old fox from the United Council performed brilliantly in this operation. He not only pardoned the remnants of Jiazhou, but also tried his best to rescue them. It is very political." The female voice said just now.

"Yes." Some people around echoed: "Now the ants are more united around the joint council."

"That's because the ants were blinded from the truth." The leader didn't take it seriously: "If the ants knew that it was the United Council that deprived them of the ability to master psychic powers and dealt with all infected people as undead mutants in advance, Their attitude probably won’t be what it is now.”

The black-robed man with the female voice raised his hand again.

The leader was very polite to that person: "Xianzong, please tell me."

"The returnee is Tang Pu and Lin Yu's son Tang Ning, who is now being kept under the protection of the Academy of Sciences. I heard that the trio still think highly of him, and he has made great achievements in Han'an. , does this mean that the United Council has already started a major adjustment in its attitude towards those who are natively immune?"

"Xianzong's words are justified, but they can't be regarded as a real sign now." The leader said, "The joint council asked Tangning to guard Han'an, more because he used the Skynet resources he possessed. And even Tangning himself, Nor does it necessarily know the core and truth of how the colony operates."

"Whether Tangning's own psychic power has been fully awakened is still a mystery. His achievements are brought about by using Skynet resources, super high perception, and his own agility."

"Although the degree of supersensitivity and her own strength and agility are also the benefits of psychic powers for those who are natively immune, according to the current information, Tangning has not directly used supernatural powers."

"The few battles that I can see are all demonstrations of physical fitness and technical advantages."

"As for the use of abilities, he is still at the level of the wild hunter."

"However, Xianzong's concern is justified." The Pope emphasized: "This person must be included in our key investigation and research objects."

"Because the so-called magnanimity and enlightenment of the Joint Council, and the so-called political wisdom of Pu Xiuquan, which are reflected in the foolish ants, are not worth mentioning."

"These things will only be reflected in their attitude towards the returnees in the end—whether to be wary, to use, or to look at the ability to improve with sincerity, and even become the leading force of the settlement in the end."

"According to the settlement's current principle of 'distribution based on contribution', it is undoubtedly beneficial to those who are natively immune. If this remains unchanged, then Tangning's success is inevitable."

"When the time comes, what method will we use to deal with this inevitable Tang Ning? Will the settlement really follow Skynet's principle of 'distribution based on contribution' and continue to implement it; or will it be 'distributed based on the contribution of ants'? Will we design a "Contribution upper limit" to suppress returnees. At that time, it is time to test their wisdom."

"Everyone, this will definitely be the deepest political change in the settlement in the future, and it will also affect the lowest level of human social life. It will completely shake the political foundation of the settlement."

"Therefore everyone's future will be bright, and the future of history is also predictable and optimistic. No matter what method is used, the stupid act of preventing human beings from exploring and mastering psychic energy will eventually fail."

"So we just have to be vigilant, wait and see, and wait for the time to come."

"Huang Xunjie's failure is that he did not recognize the situation clearly and tried to force a breakthrough. His purpose, I think, is definitely not to liberate the fooled people in the settlements, not just to restore the power of Huang Jiajun in Renshou. His power in the Huang family army."

"He was coveting more power, power beyond his capacity, so he failed."

Everyone was nervous in their hearts. The meaning of the leader was to imply that Huang Xunjie was intending to challenge his authority. The statement and support made by the leader before were based on the premise that he was bound to fail. Unity within the church, and a compromise made.

And today's high-level meeting also shows that the leader had already received the support of Xianzong and Shengxiang at that time.

Everyone bowed their heads again to the masked man in black robe behind the desk: "The sky is far away, and my way is not alone."

……

……

The convoy finally passed the Lingyun Junction on the east bank of the Minjiang River. After passing here, all the lights of the convoy were on, indicating that the convoy was safe.

Huang Lei sat on the adjourned armored vehicle. Now he opened the roof of the vehicle and leaned out from the vehicle.

A huge motorcycle drove over from the rear. The length of the motorcycle exceeded the length of the Huanglei armored vehicle. On the vehicle was a metal knight in white armor. A long metal long knife.

This is the first time that Huang Lei has seen the highest crystallization of human technology up close, and his operator is now in the armed convoy of the Pluto unit in the rear, protected by five self-driving armored vehicles.

Huang Lei took off the military cap that represented the identity of the Huang family army, but raised his right hand to the Pluto warrior, saluting a military salute.

The Pluto warrior also controlled the motorcycle with his left hand, turned his metal head sideways to free his right hand, and returned a military salute to Huang Lei.

Then he put his hand back on the control knob, blasted the ion engine, and accelerated to drive forward.
