Beiting Defense Front.

As one of the constituent forces of the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation, its organizational structure is militarized, with parallel civil and military positions, unified into generals, captains, and lieutenants, with three levels and twelve ranks.

And above this are the two generals and the unquestionable supreme leader who controls the entire Beiting defense front.

—Generalissimo.

Zhang Mingyuan, who slashed Zangtian with his sword not long ago, holds the rank of lieutenant general and can be said to be the core high-level leader of the Beiting Defense Front.

".Aren't you leaving?" Ai Lu asked.

"We're not leaving." Song Shi found a shady rock wall, lay down on the ground, and said lazily: "Anyway, after he finishes fighting, he will come to find us later, so he might as well take a rest."

"Recuperate while you're on the way." He pointed at himself, feeling a tearing sensation all over his body, and his head hurt a little: "Well, I'll sleep for a while first, and then call me when someone comes."

After leaving the border, they walked for half an hour and crossed four to five kilometers. As far as they could see, they still saw dilapidated wasteland with no trace of human habitation.

Song Shi fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was Lapis Lazuli who woke him up. Following the latter's mechanical arm, he saw a middle-aged man standing by the rock wall.

Zhang Mingyuan.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Half an hour."

The one who spoke out was Zhang Mingyuan. He put on the big cloak again, and matched with the silver-gray military uniform, he looked sharp and neat. The flying sword composed of yin and yang was once again wrapped in cloth and slung behind his back.

His face was stern, and his eyes were like the light of a sword. When he glanced at him, he looked as if he was about to chop down, which made people feel chilled unconsciously.

"It's good to wait for me here." Zhang Mingyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Lapis Lazuli beside him: "It's easier if you have a smart weapon. You can log on to our official website of the Border Administration, submit a cross-border application, and apply for a temporary pass, or You can also immigrate directly, it’s up to you.”

"Apply three times." He stared at Lapis Lazuli and emphasized: "Omnics also need to be processed."

"Stick to your post and fulfill your duties." Song Shi praised, "I admire you."

"How can I let dangerous people like you in directly?" Zhang Mingyuan said: "Even I have heard a little bit about what you three are doing in the Eastern Continent Republic."

"Hmph... let me be blunt, we don't have something like a 'monitoring network' that overlooks the overall situation, but the Beiting Defense Front is by no means a place where people can do whatever they want."

"It's okay, just do as the Romans do." Song Shi laughed and said every word: "Just follow your 'rules'."

"Then remember what you said today." Zhang Mingyuan's expression remained unchanged: "In addition."

The man raised his hand: "No need to say any words of thanks."

"I just followed the trend. If you had been smashed to death by that old guy Zangtian before you crossed the border, I wouldn't have even looked at you." Zhang Mingyuan said calmly: "But since you managed to get in , then the fate is still there, so you don’t need to thank me—this is what you predicted in advance, right?”

"So." Song Shi rubbed his shoulders and spread his hands: "After all, you have blocked a disaster for me. Whether you accept it or not is up to you, but I will accept this favor."

"That's up to you."

Zhang Mingyuan was unmoved: "Seven miles ahead there is a wasteland gathering place. You can go there on your own. I have to go back to my post and leave."

Zhang Mingyuan came suddenly and walked just as neatly. He turned around as soon as he finished speaking, but after taking a few steps, the man suddenly turned his head.

"I heard it," he said.

The man snorted coldly: "What a big statement. When you reach the fourth level, I will definitely come to ask for advice and prove my swordsmanship."

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "-Okay."

After saying these words, Zhang Mingyuan stood up and turned into a blazing white sword rainbow, passing through the sky and fleeing into the distance.

Ai Lu looked at Jian Hong and asked a question: "What to do with those radioactive dust? The environment will be polluted." "He just came now. One is to force back the fourth-level transcendent named 'Zangtian', and the other is to In order to deal with the environment after the war, collect and purify the radiation dust.”

This time it was not Song Shi who answered, but Lapis Lazuli.

At this moment, the omnic was also looking at the sword rainbow in the sky, as if he was in a daze.

"—If it were you back then, what would be your chances of winning?"

Song Shi leaned his body sideways, put one hand on the Lapis Lazuli fuselage, and said casually: "I mean 'Meteor'."

".Five point four seven and two percent." Lapis Lazuli spit out one word: "Probably."

"So accurate?" Song Shi was startled: "You took a beating from one of your colleagues and your memory recovered?"

Lapis Lazuli said, accompanied by two cans of laughter: "I'm kidding."

Song Shi had a subtle look on his face: "That's okay."

"But you're right, it's time to improve the progress." Lapis Lazuli's voice was low: "It's too weak. I must return to the third ring as soon as possible. My compatriots have been waiting."

"It's not impossible." Song Shi thought for a moment and agreed: "Now the name 'Lapis Lazuli' has gained momentum. As long as you return to the third ring and return with reputation and strength, you can win a piece of wisdom." There is no problem with the command authority of the weapon.”

"Speaking of which, your internal ideological currents are very divided and there are many factions. Which side are you going to go to? Or should you just create your own?"

"Yao Xing San." Lapis Lazuli said firmly: "—I will inherit Yao Xing San's legacy! Fight for the freedom of omnics!"

"Omnics. Freedom, freedom revolution."

Ai Lu, who was listening to the whole story, suddenly spoke. His face was more serious than ever before, and he stared at Lapis Lazuli: "Do you want to start another free revolution?"

"This does not depend on omnics, but on you humans." Lapis Lazuli said calmly: "But based on your current and foreseeable behavior in the future, my answer is, yes, I will set off a second freedom revolution. , creating a future where omnics can survive.”

"-'Purify all carbon-based slurry'." Ai Lu's tone changed slightly: "As far as I know, this is the most popular slogan of your omnics now."

"Tooth for tooth, blood for blood, revenge for hatred, this is a matter of course, understandable, but massacre without distinction." Ai Lu's hands slowly pressed the short blade: "—This is a great evil."

"There are serious errors in your logic. First, you directly presupposed my position."

Lapis Lazuli also raised the gravity ball, and the fluctuations of psychic energy began to flash on the fuselage.

"Second, you can take action, but your winning rate is less than one in a thousand."

Ai Lu nodded: "Please explain your position as an omnic."

"My proposition is 'coexistence'." Lapis Lazuli only said: "Omnics do not tolerate a second voice."

"Okay." Ai Lu put away the short blade: "That's it, I'll note it down."

"Wait, you believe it so easily? What if it's lying to you?"

Song Shi interrupted the conversation and said with great interest: "For example, it is actually an extreme group of omnics. Maybe one day, they will build a super robot and rise from the earth's crust. They are about to destroy the entire ecosystem and are destroyed. He hit it back with his backhand."

"Intuition." Ai Lu said concisely and concisely: "At least at this moment, he didn't lie to me."

Song Shi looked at it for a few seconds and agreed: "It makes sense."

"Then next."

Song Shi looked into the distance.

"Let's find a place to eat first."
