"The actions of the other three consortiums have become more and more aggressive in recent years!" Yao Jie's complexion turned slightly cold as he said, "I reckon that some people are already unable to sit still. The chairman is very concerned about this matter and may want to punish the chicken to warn the monkey. You must investigate carefully and find out who is involved in the devil race's attack this time, no matter who it is. Otherwise, the 'Chaos of Corpses' eighty years ago and the 'Nuclear Disaster' thirty years ago will happen again!"
Li Li's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the chairman was serious this time!
As for why Yao Jie was talking about the three consortiums, he had already guessed the reason. The Terras Consortium was not included, because the first leader of the Terras Consortium was the God of Science and Technology. After the God of Science and Technology passed away, the forces under his command gradually formed the Terras Consortium. It held the most secrets and weapons of the Federation, as well as the most advanced technology. It was the well-deserved number one consortium among the four consortiums!
However, although the Terras Consortium was powerful, it had always been low-key. It concentrated on researching technology, and pushed the Federation's technology forward. More than eighty percent of the technological products in daily life came from the Terras Consortium!
In addition, it was said that all the previous chairmen of the Federation had been manipulated and assisted by the Terras Consortium.
The three consortiums had been afraid of the Terras Consortium for a long time, but they didn't dare to confront the Terras Consortium openly. No one wanted to be the cannon fodder of the other two consortiums, so they could only try their best to develop behind the scenes and try to replace the Terras Consortium, or at least not be threatened by it.
"Why would such a troublesome matter appear in our North Desert City …" Li Li smiled bitterly in his heart. If this was the worst case scenario, then he would also be involved in the battle between the consortiums. As the Minister of Defense of North Desert City, he looked impressive on the surface, but in front of such giants, he was just a small character. He could be removed from his position or disappear at any time.
On the other side, Dean had just finished reading the news when the communicator rang. He picked it up when he saw that it was Felix.
"Your operation this time is too risky!" Felix's anxious, slightly reproachful, and helpless voice came from the communicator. He had chosen a video call, but when Dean picked it up, he switched to a voice call. Looking at a man's face at such a close distance made him a little nauseous. "The movement this time is too big. I heard that the four consortiums are paying attention to this place. They will probably send a lot of people to thoroughly investigate. Even if you act secretly, there will be flaws and clues left. This is the Federation, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. It's not your Demon Clan's territory!"
Dudian calmly said: "Didn't you know before I acted? Don't panic. It doesn't matter if you find anything. As long as there is no sufficient evidence then you won't be punished."
"You're too simple-minded. For this kind of operation involving demons, as long as you're related to them, they can beat you up and force you to confess. It's just like in the Middle Ages in the old era. As long as someone said you were related to a witch, whether it was the sheriff or the surrounding villagers, they would all think you were evil because of fear! Our Federation's fear of you demons is the same as the people's fear of witches at that time! Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I told you! " Felix was a little annoyed. His attitude towards Dudian was not so humble and fearful through the communicator.
Dudian indifferently said: "If the wronged person was a noble or a landlord, the villagers and sheriffs wouldn't act rashly."
Felix, who was in the factory office at the other end of the communicator, slightly opened his eyes. He was a little surprised. Dudian actually knew the history he was talking about? After a few seconds, he couldn't help but shout: "You're not really from the Federation, are you? Are you pretending to be a demon?! "
"No matter who I am, our identities won't change. Why do you care so much?" Dudian casually said.
Felix almost vomited blood. To put it bluntly, no matter what my name is, I will always be your uncle! He held his breath for a while before swallowing his anger and faintly said: "We should be considered as partners now. Our status is equal."
"As long as you're happy."
"…"
After a few seconds of silence, Felix took a deep breath and said seriously: "I'll go back and tell them that if they catch you, let them deal with you leniently."
"No, it will implicate you." Dudian refused.
Felix was startled. He didn't expect Dudian to say such enthusiastic words. He thought that even if he didn't help, Dudian would ask him. Was it because he was worried about implicating him and exposing his arrangement? But without his help, Dudian's Federation identity was that of a poor student. How could he get out of the military?
Dudian hung up the communicator and didn't give Felix a chance to ask. Felix, who was at the other end, slightly opened his mouth. Looking at the watch that showed that the call had ended, he suddenly had the urge to curse. He felt that all the good qualities he had cultivated since childhood had been wasted on Dudian!
"If I'm a suspect of being a demon's accomplice, they should take me to the magic mark detection equipment. This thing is also available in the factory. I've tried several times, but it didn't detect anything. It shows that my physique is different from the average magic mark warrior. It's probably because the magic mark has been digested by the Aragami factor and doesn't exist on the surface." Dudian looked at the night sky outside the window and secretly thought.
At this time, the communicator rang again.
"I forgot to tell you that the entire North Desert City has been blocked. No one is allowed to enter or leave. You can only stay there for a while." Felix's voice came after the call was connected, "But this kind of blockade can't resist the public opinion. It will be unlocked in a few days. Don't worry. If you are ready to rush out, it's best to lurk for a few days."
"It's not to the point of losing this layer of identity." Dudian indifferently said, "And this blockade is estimated to last at least a week or even half a month."
Felix was surprised, "Why?"
"The public opinion of the North Desert City is too weak compared to the public opinion of the entire Federation. Locking the city is equivalent to locking the demon's accomplice in the city. But unlocking the city is equivalent to releasing the demon's accomplice to the entire Federation. People in other cities won't do it," Dudian said.
Felix was about to ask why Dudian inferred that it would take a week. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly thought of something. With the traffic and trade of the North Desert City, the blockade for half a month was the limit. Otherwise, the city would be cut off from water and food, and there would be a more chaotic situation.
"I didn't expect you to even consider this point." Felix sighed. He was about to say a few words of admiration, but found that the communicator had been hung up. His mouth slightly twitched.
