"I understand. Shall we contact Yumen now?" Wen Yue asked.

"Let's prepare in advance so that when we need them, our reinforcements won't be thousands of miles away."

"Okay. What about Rhodes Island?"

"Of course we need to contact them; we really need their help."

Rhodes Island's combat strength is commendable, but Wei Yanwu values ​​more the high-end combat force that can turn the tide of battle at any time—Wan Qi.

As long as the latter stands here, Longmen will have a most stable ballast stone.

At that time, Wei Yanwu will be able to put aside all his worries and concentrate on fighting the Black Serpent.

You lost the last game, and you won't win this one either!

St. Love Foundation Headquarters, Sichen Building

The name is now an open secret at the foundation headquarters. In the past two days, many guests have come to Sichenlou, mostly under the guise of displaying items to get close to Virtin.

Everyone here knows who their main target is, but the more they know that, the less likely they are to see Wan Qi.

Just kidding, that's our King! Who are you? You can just walk in the door and see the King. Go line up and enter the lottery!

All the visitors expressed their understanding.

We're just here to pay a visit and bring some gifts. We're all colleagues, so please don't stand on ceremony. If we're lucky enough to meet Mr. Wan Qi, that would be an immense honor; if not, it's just bad luck, but there's always next time.

All departments of the St. Love Foundation headquarters came, even those organizations that had previously had close ties with the Human Party, and even someone from Laplace's side came, a familiar face.

The acquaintance here refers to Xo, an acquaintance that Virtin met in the plot of "1999".

In the game, he is positioned as a five-star intelligence-based, trauma-related damage-dealing character. Having grown up in an orphanage, X is skilled at using Goldberg machinery to commit sophisticated crimes. His invention of a self-driving mechanical device proves his talent, which is why he was invited by Laplace and is also a member of the Lorenz Institute.

The above content includes game settings as well as real-life information. Currently, Wilting's authority is very high, second only to the vice president and Ms. Z. Accessing personnel files is definitely not a problem, but even with Wilting's current authority, he cannot find information about "Rainstorm".

Tsk tsk tsk, it really is top secret, but if Wan Qi really wants to ask, the St. Love Foundation has no secrets.

However, Virtue believed that it was best not to alert the enemy now. Touching on the Foundation's biggest secret right away would be a complete disaster. It wouldn't be difficult for Wan Qi to eliminate the people here, but if no one filled the niche of the St. Love Foundation, it would be handing the Reconstruction Hand a helping hand. Considering the Reconstruction Hand's mentally unstable organizational state, even if the St. Love Foundation were to die, it would have to wait until the Si Chen team had the ability to take its place.

X visited as a member of the Lorenz Institute, but everyone knew what his presence represented on Laplace's side. Because Laplace and the Foundation work closely together, they couldn't be too proactive on this sensitive issue, but they still needed to establish that they were willing to communicate. So X came, and he was a good fit.

As a former master criminal, X's intelligence and shamelessness are both quite adept at withstanding scrutiny, especially the latter.

However, when he left, the smile on his face was noticeably solemn.

"Wow, wow, I never expected the Si Chen team could provide so much. I'm tempted."

X held a list and a box of samples, all of which were intermediate electronic equipment that Laplace urgently needed.

Furthermore, Virtin told him that Sichen's team could provide Laplace with a stable supply.

Regardless of how Virtue managed it, as long as she can guarantee that this matter is reliable, then Si Chen's team will be Laplace's forever friend, especially in this "stormy" era, whoever has the ability to reliably provide advanced technology products will control the pulse of the times.

"Let Lucy decide."

X shrugged, picked out one he needed from the samples, casually shoved it into his pocket, and hummed a little tune as he went home.

At this moment, the visitors would not know that the Wan Qi they most wanted to see was not in Sichen Tower, but in the core area of ​​the Saint Love Foundation headquarters. In fact, he often wandered around here, but with the help of disguise magic, others naturally could not recognize Wan Qi, except for very close acquaintances, such as Ms. Z.

Whenever Wan Qi has time, he comes here to sit and chat with Ms. Z. He doesn't come for nothing; he always brings some local specialties from Aurora. Today he brought squirrel fish. The two of them had just finished lunch and went for a walk.

Is Aurora, in the 21st century, really that advanced?

Ms. Z looked at the photo in her hand, her face showing both surprise and delight.

"It's all thanks to the hard work of predecessors like you. I, who came after liberation, can only be considered to have benefited from the fruits of others' labor."

"The construction of our motherland requires the utmost efforts of each and every one of us, and is not the achievement of any one individual."

"The people's view of history is the orthodox belief of our country."

"Tell me about the things in the photo, like what is this?"

"Oh, this is the turnstile at the subway entrance."

What is the screen above?

"Face recognition".

"Face recognition?"

"Yes, as long as you activate facial recognition with your ID card, and as long as you have money in your account and your personal information is normal, you only need to carry a key when you go out. If it's an electronic lock, you don't even need a key. All households are fully connected to the network and share security facilities. If someone is found to be breaking the law, nearby police or robot police will arrive within three minutes. It's quite convenient."

"Is it okay to rely on just one face? A person's face changes with age."

"It's a minor issue. The relevant information is updated every time the face is scanned. Unless there are significant changes in facial features due to accidents or cosmetic surgery, the accuracy rate is almost 100%."

"That's amazing! Can all projects be done by facial recognition?"

"Anything connected to the big data network is fine, it's very convenient, after all, no one will forget to bring their face when they go out."

"Ms. Z, so you've been here all along."

A supermodel woman wearing a coat stood in front of the two of them.

It's no exaggeration to say she's an iron woman; even Wan Qi was slightly stunned when he saw her.

He had seen many advanced intelligent robots, but this kind of robot structure, which combines hydraulic rods with circuitry and is both advanced and somewhat retro, is visually striking, like adding a Warhammer oil guy to the Honkai Impact 3rd universe. Basically, anyone who has seen it will never forget it.

But what Wan Qi found most unforgettable was that while speaking, this "Iron Lady" took a face out of her coat pocket, put it on, and then began to communicate vividly.

Wan Qi turned to Ms. Z and said, "Sister Zhang, I take back what I said earlier. There really is a possibility that you might forget to bring your face when you go out."

At this moment, Ms. Iron Man looked at Wan Qi and calmly analyzed, "Sir, there is no personal information about you in the database I can access. However, based on the various materials from the Foundation headquarters during this period, as well as your intimate conversation with Ms. Z just now, I think the probability that you are Mr. Wan Qi is greater than 81.97%."

Wan Qi was slightly surprised: "Wow, such powerful analytical skills! May I ask who you are?"

"The head of the Laplace Calculation Center, you can call me Lucy."

"Hello, Ms. Lucy, yes, I am Wan Qi."

Wan Qi and Lucy shook hands. It was somewhat surprising that the head of the Laplace Center was a consciousness awakener.

"What can I do for you, Lucy?" Ms. Z asked.

"Regarding this month's budget, I think we should discuss it in person."

For some reason, after seeing Ms. Lucy's face, Wan Qi felt that her face-to-face talk was literally a face-to-face meeting, or even a chance encounter.

The field of occultism is very mysterious, isn't it?

So Wan Qi said goodbye to Ms. Z and prepared to go back to Sichen Tower, but just then, his phone rang.

It was Amiya who sent a message in the group chat.

Rhodes Island's little rabbit: Doctor, Wanqi, do you have time?

V2T: Yes, we're on our way right away.

Rhodes Island's little bunny: Great! I'll be waiting for you in Lungmen.

Wan Qi then posted a message as well.

10007: Coming soon.

Before that, Wan Qi went back to Si Chen Lou and called out to Keobo, who had been playing with Xing Di during this time. The two of them went to Si Chen's office in Wei Erting.

Upon entering the room, Wan Qi saw Virtue explaining work to Sonnet. The girl had now fully embraced the role of Si Chen's assistant and could help Virtue solve many problems when needed.

She's not good at making decisions, but she can always deliver perfect results in routine tasks.

Such talent is welcome anywhere.

"Oh, a sonnet."

“Your Excellency Wan Qi,” Sonnet said politely.

“That’s basically it. I’m leaving it to you,” Virtue said to Sonnet.

"Okay, Sichen, have a safe journey."

Veltin nodded, then looked at Wan Qi, who immediately opened a portal, and Wan Qi, Veltin, and Kroos disappeared from Si Chen's office.

Sonnet was curious as he looked at the spot where the three had disappeared.

The gifts that Wanqi and Weierting brought back for everyone not long ago all had production dates of 2023 on them. Weierting later specifically explained that this matter is now an internal secret of the Sichen team, and everyone who joined in the first batch knows about it.

Of course, there are also those who don't know, such as Sophby and Butler Carson.

Shared secrets and common interests can lead to shared goals; that's what makes a team.

The most important thing here is having the confidence to share secrets and the ability to not care if they are leaked.

Clearly, the Sichen team now possesses such strength, and under the premise of controllable risks, recruiting the first batch of personnel into their core team is the most appropriate thing to do.

Sonnet, who usually served as Virtue's assistant, naturally knew more.

Perhaps one day, I will also embark on a mission with Si Chen to other worlds. I don't know what other worlds are like, but since there is no torrential rain, it must be a happy and beautiful world.

At the Longmen Governor's Mansion, Wan Qi and his group had just landed when they heard an explosion outside.

What a peaceful and beautiful day.

Their first stop was Rhodes Island. After Wilting changed into his full Doctor's gear and Ceobe made some preparations, the three of them were teleported to Lungmen, where the atmosphere could only be described as tense and deadly.

Military control has already been implemented outside.

Although mobile cities are subject to certain regulations when they move, these regulations vary in intensity. The current situation is an example of excessive regulation, which has affected normal business activities.

"Doctor! Vanchi! Kroos, you're back."

Amiya rushed over immediately, her face showing signs of fatigue.

"Well, we're back."

Virtue hugged the little rabbit tenderly; the fourteen-year-old girl's face showed a weariness beyond her years.

Saying I was completely exhausted would be an exaggeration, but I certainly looked like I hadn't slept well for several days.

Now it was time to get down to business, and Amiya gave a brief overview of the current situation.

"The core city of Chernobog is moving towards the Dragon Gate. Judging from its trajectory, it is expected to collide with the Dragon Gate in 8 hours."

"On the northwestern border of Yanwu, the Fourth Army of the Ursus Empire is assembling and may move south at any time."

"At least three small mobile cities in Ursus are moving toward the vicinity, and judging from their location, they appear to be protecting the core city of Chernobog."

"The Reunion Movement's attacks are getting increasingly frenzied. Not long ago, they remotely controlled a batch of drones to attack Lungmen. The attack landed in the commercial district, causing great panic."

One thing after another, all bad news, and the other side has clearly begun to use national-level forces.

If all of these are committed, Longmen will truly have no way to deal with it; you can't expect Li Hongzhang to take on the entire Japanese nation single-handedly.

While Li Hongzhang at least had control of the Beiyang Fleet back then, Longmen did not have its own land-based naval force.

However, Lungmen's city defense system is not to be underestimated. Once deployed, it can destroy Chernobog's core city from a distance without any problem. But as it runs, it shouts in the public channel: "This is Chernobog, this is Ursus territory."

If Lungmen were to blow it up at this point, Kosichrie would get what she wanted.

If Wei Yanwu hadn't chosen to open fire, then the core city of Chernobog that had come into contact with them would have been a deadbeat.

This tactic is as disgusting as staged accidents, but politics is sometimes just that dirty. No matter how shady the method, as long as it works, it's fine.

After learning about the situation from Amiya and the others, the group arrived at the Governor's Mansion's reception room, which had been transformed into a massive operations center. A huge electronic sand table was placed in the center, displaying the surrounding conditions.

Red represents Lungmen, blue represents the core city of Chernobog, black represents the Fourth Army on standby, and green represents the three small mobile cities of Ursus that are moving. The entire layout is like a phased pocket formation, an absolutely open strategy.

At this point, Longmen only has two choices: continue forward or return the way he came.

The former leads to a trap, while the latter is like gambling on the Originium contaminated zone after a natural disaster. Anyone with a brain knows that the Originium contaminated zone, especially the contaminated zone after a compound natural disaster, is extremely dangerous. This is equivalent to having your escape route cut off, but also facing an abyss ahead.

Being single-minded has led to being blocked at both ends; can you believe how frustrating that is?

Wei Yanwu's expression was very solemn, but when he saw Wan Qi and the others come in, his solemnity dissipated considerably.

"Welcome everyone from Rhodes Island, and Lord Vanchi."

Section 65: Sacred Number 3, The Principle of Nature

(Fourth update! 18,000 words! I've given it my all... Please leave comments and votes!!!)

The situation is terrible; it has escalated into a national-level conflict, but the fighting hasn't started yet.

Wei Yanwu wasn't too worried about the current situation.

"Ursus is no match for the Great Yan." This was the source of Governor Wei's confidence.
