From afar, Wang Zhong could already see the city-like military camp. The entire camp was built on a vast plains, with incomparably orderly and densely packed military barracks arranged in a square-shaped grid, extending over a dozen miles across the plains. However, there weren't any tall and sturdy walls of life, with the vast majority of the barracks being single-storey bungalows.
However, it would be a huge mistake to think that the barracks were outdated just because of those bungalows. Upon entering the camp, Wang Zhong was able to discover many extraordinary things hidden beneath the tranquility of the place.
For example, the various defensive barrier launchers that had been installed throughout the camp. There were a considerable amount of them, and they were probably enough to cover the entire military region. There were also various large vehicles hauling military supplies by the side of the road, with many new weapons that Wang Zhong had never seen before being transported within. In fact, Wang Zhong was even able to spot terrifying cannons with a diameter of 7 to 8 metres. This was completely different from the knock-out cannons that Stuart had fired during the Skylink live broadcast. With a single look, one could tell that they were of superior quality, with the cold glint radiating from the cannons. Even though they were in a state of cooldown, they were still able to cause people's hearts to palpitate. One could imagine just how great their might was.
However, this was just the tip of the iceberg. As the off-road vehicle continued its journey, it passed by a rather tightly-guarded circular region.
This region was extremely extraordinary, with the buildings and layout being completely different from ordinary barracks. Outside the arm-thick metal gates, there were hundreds of fully armed guards standing guard at all times, keeping a tight watch. If one were to take a closer look, one would discover that the metal gates and the surrounding walls were covered in dense runic arrays. In fact, the metal gates and walls didn't seem to be products of Earth, as they radiated with a mysterious glow.
From within the tightly guarded courtyard, one would occasionally be able to see mysterious energy beams shooting into the skies, or descending from the skies. There were also large patches of runic arrays sparkling within the courtyard, illuminating the skies. Even in the middle of the night, they were able to illuminate half of the entire camp.
"That's the 7th Regiment's dimensional base station." said Lieutenant Will with a smile. "If you want to go to the Blessed Land, you'll have to go there. Do you see those light beams shooting into the skies? That's the opening of the passageway to the Hyperdimension, while the one descending from the sky is the return signal. As for the flashing runic arrays, it's the prelude to the opening of the transmission. Tsk tsk, entering the Hyperdimension with one's fleshly body. I also want to do so, but it's a pity that I'm too weak. I'm afraid that I won't have such an opportunity in my lifetime. "
Any soldier would, in fact, want to venture into the hyperdimension and search for their own opportunities. Who knows, they might even be able to soar into the heavens. For people who had never been to the hyperdimension, it was undoubtedly filled with opportunities and miraculous encounters. Naturally, the most basic of all was that without strength, one would be courting death.
Wang Zhong more or less had some understanding of this. Previously, he had accompanied Ma Dong to take a look at the new city that the Assassin Family had constructed in Tianjing. It was said that even after constructing a spatial node and a transmission array, every transmission would result in a gigantic energy shockwave that was tens or even hundreds of times stronger than the exhaust from a rocket. It was extremely easy for the surrounding buildings to be destroyed, and the area covered by the shockwave was extremely large. However, the dimensional base station needed to be protected, and could not be built outside of the new city. This difficult problem had caused Ma Dong and the person in charge of this project to have endless headaches.
Now, looking at the entire dimensional base station of the 7th Regiment, those walls and metal railings made from special materials, as well as the runic arrays carved on them, were most likely used to counteract the energy shockwave during the transmission, allowing them to easily and perfectly solve this problem. Such a technological advantage was indeed the foundation of the Federation's development and strength.
Wang Zhong sighed with emotion as he observed the surroundings, while silently noting them down. Perhaps, he could use them as a reference for Ma Dong. The densely packed, lattice-like passageway within the camp caused one to feel dizzy. Only after 10 pm did they finally arrive at the military guest house.
Without any special reception, Will helped Wang Zhong register him at the front desk, before sending him to his room.
"I'll deal with this for the night. Tomorrow, or at the latest, the day after tomorrow, there should be an order from the military." said Will in an apologetic tone. Due to him chatting with Wang Zhong on the way here, he had slowed down the speed of the car. Furthermore, there were some delays in picking up Wang Zhong in the morning. If he had arrived earlier, the military might have made other arrangements for him.
"If there's anything you need in the next 2 days, feel free to contact me via Skylink. I'll help you deal with it." Said Will with a smile as he extended his hand. "However, remember that it has to be before 11 pm. After 11 pm, the military will have a communication restriction, and your Skylink won't be able to connect to the internet. Finally, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
After sending off Lieutenant Will, Wang Zhong had just tossed his belongings onto his bed when his Skylink rang.
"Hello, have you reached your destination?"
Laura and Scarlet appeared on the Skylink. From the background, Wang Zhong could see that the 2 women were currently seated in a VIP compartment within a train carriage. Due to this, they were dressed rather casually. Appearing to have just taken a bath, their heads were dripping with sparkling water droplets, while their thin clothing accentuated their voluptuous figures, causing people's imaginations to run wild.
If it was any other man, they would definitely spurt out blood. However, Wang Zhong was the only exception. Recently, he had been influenced by these 2 women to the point where he was impervious to all poisons.
"I've also just arrived." Said Wang Zhong with curiosity. Previously, when he had left, Laura had said that she would stay in Stuart City to wait for the military's notice. Never did he imagine that she would be on the train with Scarlet.
With a chuckle, Laura squeezed together with Scarlet and said, "It's rather boring staying in Stuart City by myself, so I want to go to Tianjing to see my grandfather. It seems that we'll be arriving much later than you. What's more, I'll be able to accompany my good sister and also relax myself. There are quite a few fun places that I haven't had the chance to visit during my previous trip to Tianjing."
By the side, Scarlet was already using her fingers to count the fun places to visit, especially the rivers and the like. Coincidentally, there was a rather spectacular river in the vicinity of Tianjing. Humans had an innate love for water bodies. However, it was a pity that they couldn't go to the oceans. Instead, a river like this was the most suitable place for them. Although there were mutated life forms present in the rivers, they weren't too terrifying.
"That's called a surging wave, and it's extremely spectacular!" introduced Scarlet.
"I'm really looking forward to it." said Laura with sparkling eyes. "We've agreed that you'll teach me how to swim when the time comes, Scarlet."
With a smile, Scarlet shot a look at Laura's chest. "I just don't know if there's a swimsuit that's suitable for you."
"Hateful!" scolded Laura with a smile. The 2 women giggled and laughed as they twisted around each other.
This …
Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, Wang Zhong still felt slightly dizzy.
Swimming in the surging wave of the river with Laura and Scarlet in their swimsuits, a scene that would cause one's blood to spurt out naturally appeared in his mind. Wang Zhong sighed with emotion. These 2 women really weren't treating him as a man anymore. Such an exciting scene just popped up, and he could only flee in a sorry state.
There was some reluctance in Laura and Scarlet's eyes. Nevertheless, they still warned Wang Zhong to be careful in the Dimensional World. However, they didn't understand him, and were unable to give him any more advice. Wang Zhong also told them not to worry, as he truly knew how terrifying the Dimensional World was. This time, he would be entering it with his real body, so he had to be even more careful. If he was done for, then he was truly done for.
After hanging up, Ma Dong picked up the call.
"Who are you talking to, boss? I've been calling you for half a day, but the line was busy. " Said Ma Dong with a chuckle, appearing to be in a pretty good mood. From the looks of it, today's matter had gone very smoothly. This was his recent norm. Following that, his eyes lit up. "How's your stay in the military? Did they bring you to their dimensional base station? Brother, you have to observe them properly. It's also a way to accumulate experience for our Tianjing New Region's dimensional base station. "
"Didn't the relevant technical department from Stuart already agree to help you solve the problem?"
"Then we have to understand more about them first." said Ma Dong with a righteous face. "Knowing it yourself is better than listening to others. What if they're trying to trick me? At least I'll know what's right and wrong. What's more, even if I don't care about the technical problems, I still have to pay attention to the aesthetics of the layout. No matter what, I'm the engineering director of the new region. How can I listen to their every command? "
With a smile, Wang Zhong explained the situation of the dimensional base station in detail.
"The problem of the energy shockwaves during the transmission probably needs to be solved with special materials. They seem to be special materials from the Dimensional World. Such a large scale layout will definitely cost quite a bit. You have to be mentally prepared for the cost. It should be an astronomical figure."
Ma Dong frowned. "That's true? I thought they were trying to trick me. That's what they said today. I was wondering if there were any materials that could replace it. It's too expensive and too much of a scam. Just the cost of a one metre fence is already 30 million. That's a space of a few thousand square metres. They might as well kill me. Most importantly, they're saying that it's low quality. Fuck, when they're done with it, we'll just forget about building the new region. Even if we throw all the money here, it might not be enough. "
"Dimensional base stations are the core of the Federation. It's normal for them to spend money like water." Wang Zhong was rather open-minded. In fact, he was the true shareholder of the new region and held the majority of the shares. However, from the start to the end, he had only shown his face a few times. It was all Ma Dong who was busy running around, as well as the Assassin Family's brainpower. Thinking about it made him feel rather embarrassed. "On the other hand, if there are any financial difficulties, I can discuss it with Old Potter. The Copperfield Family is a super tycoon. Who knows, I might be able to get them to invest."
"We'll see when the time comes. That's right, what high ranking official did the military receive you today?" asked Ma Dong with a chuckle. "It couldn't be a beautiful military officer, right? Your popularity in the military is extremely high. I've come into contact with a few people from the Federation's military over the past few days. Knowing that we're brothers, all of them are itching to find out what kind of underwear you wear from me. "
"What military officer received me? It's already past 10 pm when I arrived here. Lieutenant Will, who sent me here, arranged for me to stay in the guest house." Wang Zhong gave a yawn, feeling slightly sleepy. "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's almost 11 pm, and the military camp has a communication restriction at night. If there's anything, just send me a message via Skylink tomorrow."
Wang Zhong didn't feel that there was anything special about this. Although he was very impressive in the CHF, he was just an ordinary person in the military. Therefore, he wouldn't receive any special treatment.
However, Ma Dong felt slightly suspicious. Naturally, the military wouldn't give him any special treatment. However, the problem was that Wang Zhong hadn't entered the military yet, and was still in a nurturing state. Under such circumstances, they wouldn't be so casual.
After hanging up the Skylink, Ma Dong felt that something was amiss. This didn't seem to be the style of the military. Leaving a good impression on Wang Zhong would be considerably helpful for Wang Zhong to choose whether to join the military or his family's bodyguards in the future. Why would they let this opportunity slip by?
Or was there a surplus of talents in the Federation's military?
After thinking about it, Ma Dong connected to Grai's Skylink.
Elegant and light music rang out from the other side of the Skylink, sounding rather tranquil and stylish.
Grai had returned to Tianjing together with Colby and the others. Although Tianjing City had yet to cool down from the excitement, Grai always had a way to avoid idleness.
"Senior Ma Dong." Grai was currently sitting on the sofa, enjoying his leisure. With a chuckle, he greeted Ma Dong.
"Grai, have you received the notification from the military? It's the one in the Blessed Lands. You should have heard of it, right? "
Being one of the few people with the best performance in this CHF, especially with the extraordinary talent he had displayed in the final duel with Mo Ling, he had completely suppressed his opponents and advanced to the next round. If not for the blood clotting medicine, Grai might have been able to defeat Mo Ling without a single injury, and even lead his squadron into the group battle phase to obtain victory.
Such a super genius had received rather high evaluations from various parties after the CHF. The reason why he was ranked behind Carolyn and Vladimir in the official rankings was due to the respect they had for those 2 people. In terms of strength, Grai would definitely not lose to them. Therefore, if one were to talk about who had received the notification, Grai should be the first person to receive it.
"Not for the time being." Grai could hear the hidden meaning behind Ma Dong's words. After understanding the situation, he didn't feel that there was too much of a problem with it. "Regardless of how you look at it, captain Wang Zhong is the most important person amongst us. It's reasonable for him to be a little special. Furthermore, since the order from the military is real, there shouldn't be any problems."
Although his words weren't wrong, and there weren't any problems with his explanation, Ma Dong couldn't help but feel awkward.
Ma Dong had always believed in his sixth sense. Therefore, he felt that something wasn't right, as though something bad was about to happen. All of a sudden, he felt vigilant.
One couldn't just think about the positive side of everything. One had to make various plans for the worst.
Wang Zhong had offended quite a few people, something that Ma Dong was rather clear about. The reason why the Gui and Zhao Families didn't dare to do anything to Wang Zhong was due to the huge amount of attention the entire world had focused on him.
However, now that the CHF had come to an end, the public opinion had started to die down. In a short span of less than 20 days, there was already no longer any craze. At the same time, Wang Zhong's reputation was also rapidly declining. On one hand, it was due to the overall cooling down after the end of the CHF. On the other hand, although the Federation wouldn't purposely dilute Wang Zhong's reputation, they would definitely not mention him too much either. The various large media outlets' articles after the CHF had ended were mostly focused on the significance of this CHF, as well as the Federation's greatness and prosperity. Even if there was an occasional mention of the participants of the CHF, they would only mention about the champions. Just like how history wasn't folklore, it was always the outcome that would be remembered, and not the process.
With such a trend, Wang Zhong's radiance had already started to dim. The amount of attention and exposure he received was far less than what he had received during the CHF. Naturally, he had lost the layer of 'protective radiance' that had enveloped him.
Furthermore, with the potential and radiance Wang Zhong had displayed, under normal circumstances, there should be countless powers that would break their heads to fight over and invite him. However, other than Carolyn, the majority of the people that had visited Wang Zhong's hospital room were from various media outlets or academies. Most of them were just invitations and exchanges. There were very few people from the Parliament, what more the 10 Great Families. In the past, Ma Dong didn't think much of it. However, now that he thought about it, he felt extremely terrified.
Could there really be some sort of conspiracy behind all of this?
