Ling Ping'an put down his phone and stretched.
He casually turned on the television, and it was still the disaster reports of the Nanyang countries.
Ling Ping'an changed several channels in a row, but it was still the same.
"It seems that the disaster in Nanyang this year is very serious!" Ling Ping'an said.
This was also the basis for most people in the Federation to judge the situation in foreign countries.
If the news did not report it, it would definitely be calm and nothing would happen.
If the news started to report it, it meant that the problem had already appeared.
If it was like now, it would be reported in turn and every television station was tracking it.
That could only prove one thing: the situation was already very serious!
Other than that, many people in the Federal Empire could not tell how many countries there were in the world.
Because they did not care about foreign countries at all!
Only young people like Ling Ping'an, who grew up in the era of the Internet, had a global consciousness. They finally knew that there were five continents and four oceans in the world and roughly knew the history of some major countries and regions. The main cultures, beliefs, and religions.
As for other things, they needed the help of search engines.
Looking at the torrential rain and the trees that were blown around by the strong wind on the news, Ling Ping'an shook his head and turned off the television.
He did not like to watch such things, just like how he did not like to watch tragedies.
Leaning back in his chair, Ling Ping'an looked at the kitten, Bastet.
"What shall we eat tonight?" He asked.
"Beef rice!" He said to himself and picked up his phone to place an order.
… …
Han Li walked into the security center of the security base in Linhai City.
Countless staff members looked at her with adoration and admiration.
She had been in Linhai City for less than ten days, but she had already destroyed more than half of the ghosts and evil spirits in Linhai City.
She had even destroyed a teleportation array!
The security situation in Linhai City had greatly improved.
The security committee had even begun to consider expanding the scope of the safe zone.
And all of this was brought about by these demon hunters who had rushed over from Donglin City.
"Hello!" Han Li walked upstairs and knocked on the door of the security management office in Linhai City.
"Major Han!" Sitting in the office was an old man in his fifties. When he saw Han Li, he immediately stood up to welcome her, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here..." Han Li walked in and asked the old man, "I want to ask Director Zhang..."
"How many soul crystals do we have in Linhai City?"
Soul crystals were crystals that had a certain chance of appearing after the death of ghosts and evil spirits.
Because humans could not understand the nature of these things, they could only use them in the most basic applications.
For example, nurturing spirit plants and making spirit items like the Cerulean Spirit Tea as supplies for the Demon Hunters.
Or it could be used to create spirit blades as an additive.
Therefore, the various security bases all had Soul Crystals in reserve.
It could even be said that after the Catastrophe, Soul Crystals had replaced gold in the past and become the new equivalent and hard currency!
"Here …" The old man thought for a moment and replied, "There should be a reserve of around 3,000 to 4,000!"
Han Li nodded and asked, "Can I apply for all of them?"
"All of them?" The old man asked in surprise, "Major Han, what do you need so many Soul Crystals for?"
"I want to recover Jianning County and clean up all the ghosts and evil spirits in the vicinity of Jianning!"
"Open up the entire middle and lower reaches of the river!"
After the Cataclysm, the world's population shrank, and human activities were limited to safe zones.
Traffic was disrupted and communications were halted.
It took the United Nations Security Council ten years of effort to finally rebuild basic communication and transportation links.
However, these roads and communications would still be constantly attacked by ghosts and evil spirits, and it was difficult to guarantee their safety.
Among them, Jianning County was a gathering point of ghosts and monsters that threatened the traffic in the middle and lower reaches of the river.
There were at least tens of thousands of ghosts and monsters gathered there.
That was only the number on the surface!
It was unknown how many were hiding in the underground caves and building ruins.
A few years ago, the country had gathered the main forces of three main war zones, but they had failed to recover the local area. They had only set up sentries at the front and barely isolated the local area from the main highways and railways.
Now, when he heard that Han Li actually wanted to recover Jianning County, the old man was also shocked.
"Do you have a way?" He asked.
"Probably!" Han Li said, "I have to give it a try!"
"If it were anyone else, I would definitely not agree!" The old man sat down. "But if it's you, I can report it to the higher-ups, but whether or not it can be approved and how much it can be approved is not something I can decide!"
"But I believe that the higher-ups will definitely support you!"
Recovering lost land was everyone's dream.
It was like expelling ghosts and monsters, destroying evil spirits, and returning peace to the world.
Therefore, as long as there was a trace of possibility, humans would spare no expense!
"Thank you!" Han Li bowed deeply.
"You're welcome!" The old man said, "If you can really recover Jianning..."
Once Jianning County and the surrounding areas were recovered, the safety of more than half of the country would be guaranteed!
But …
Last time, with the strength of the whole country, they even received the full support of the United Nations Security Council.
Countless sacrifices had been made, but they had not been able to do it. Could this demon hunter major in front of him do it?
The old man was puzzled.
However, this major's deeds gave him a trace of confidence!
So, he stood up, picked up the phone, and called his superior.
He briefly mentioned Han Li's request on the phone, and the other side asked for a pause.
Then, after a while, it seemed that after consulting the higher-ups, Han Li's request was approved!
That was within Han Li's expectations!
If they could recover Jianning County, the country would spare no expense!
Not to mention the soul crystals, they would even empty the national treasury!
Even if they knew it was a scam, they might still give it a try!
Moreover, she, Han Li, had already used facts to prove that she did have a way to destroy those ghosts and evil spirits that could not be destroyed in the past!
Since that was the case, the will of the higher-ups could be understood.
Thus, Han Li obtained all the soul crystals in Linhai City — a total of 3,700 pieces.
In addition to the 5,800 pieces that she had already applied for from Linhai City and were being transported by helicopter.
As well as the more than 500 pieces that she had herself.
She could finally gamble on this.
Two hours later, a helicopter landed in the safe zone of Linhai City and delivered a total of 5,800 soul crystals that Han Li wanted!
This allowed her to have more than 10,000 soul crystals.
She excitedly received these precious soul crystals and solemnly bowed to Wang Jingcheng, who had personally escorted these crystals. "Minister! Don't worry, I won't disappoint everyone's expectations! "
"Recover Jianning!"
Thus, she carried these soul crystals on her back and placed them in an armored vehicle that she had applied for.
The soul crystals of Linhai City had already been placed inside.
She sat in the driver's seat, calmly ignited the engine, and then drove the armored vehicle out of the safe zone.
Wang Jingcheng and a few officials of Linhai City watched her leave.
"Han Li is a good child!" Wang Jingcheng said.
"We know!" The officials said.
"We also understand that Major Han Li has her difficulties that are difficult to speak of..."
As long as one wasn't a fool, they would know that this demon hunter major must have encountered some fortuitous encounter and received some help.
That was why, in less than a month, he had emerged as a new force and wiped out two cities all by himself!
This was flabbergasting and also made one's imagination run wild.
But...
No one had any ideas about her, and no one interfered with her.
It was not only because humans had fallen into a crisis of life and death.
At this time, internal strife was suicidal.
At this time, uniting all the forces that could be united and using every bit of strength that could be used was the only chance for the human race to survive!
This was something that humans had understood when the demon hunters first appeared.
"Let's see what kind of confidence Major Han Li has." An official said, "Hope, what Major Han Li brings us is hope!"
Although the higher-ups stopped everyone from coveting this major.
However, people were still eager to know the confidence of this major.
How did she have the confidence to rely on only ten thousand soul crystals to recover Jianning?
This was not greed.
It was because humans had longed for freedom and peace for a long time!
Twenty-three years had passed since the apocalypse!
Countless demon hunters had died at the hands of monsters and evil spirits. Countless warriors and officials had sacrificed themselves for the people.
Space was already filled with densely packed cabins.
There was a hero lying in every cabin!
A hero of mankind!
Enough blood had been spilled!
It was even numbing!
At this time, Han Li's appearance brought hope!
Everyone was looking forward to change!
All humans were eager for new changes to join them!
Thus, Wang Jingcheng and these officials took the elevator to the satellite monitoring room of the security center of Linhai City.
On the big screen here, the scene of Han Li driving away appeared.
In order to ensure smooth communication, the country directly mobilized three precious satellites to ensure communication!
Moreover, this scene was not only broadcasted in Linhai City.
It was also broadcasted in the security center of Donglin City, the security center of the capital, and the board meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
All the eyes of the world had been attracted.
Countless people were looking forward to it.
"Single-Handedly, you want to recover a nightmare area occupied by countless monsters and evil spirits?" At the board meeting of the United Nations Security Council, a representative sent by a country looked at the satellite broadcast. He felt that all of this was like a child\'s play.
There was really something wrong with these Easterners!
"Silence!" The chairman, who was presiding over the meeting, knocked heavily on the table and issued a warning, "Mr. Chairman, after the apocalypse, there is no longer a distinction between East and West!"
"All human countries are a community with a common destiny. Every human is each other\'s hope!"
"I hope you take back your discriminatory remarks!"
"Respecting our business partners is the same as respecting yourself, Mr. Director!"
The chairman\'s face twitched when he heard this. In the end, he said reluctantly, "Mr. Chairman, I take back my words and apologize to our Eastern partners!"
There was no other way!
In the current world, in front of a common enemy, in front of those who wanted to kill all humans.
Whether they were yellow, white, or black, they were all killed and eaten by monsters and evil spirits.
Humans could only unite together.
Only by uniting together could there be a possibility of survival!
That was the experience gained from the bloody lessons of the past 23 years!
If they were not united, they would die!
However …
Everyone in the meeting room, including the representative of the East, was a little puzzled.
That was because the large-scale attack a few years ago was also broadcast live here.
A whole three war zones, 17 mechanized heavy armor divisions!
3,500 cannons, 800 fighter jets, and more than 4,000 missiles.
They attacked with all their might!
Napalm bombs and cluster bombs were thrown as if they were free.
At first, they were unstoppable. The vanguard of the attack even directly attacked the old county of Jianning County.
Then, humans saw the most terrifying monster in history!
It was more than ten meters tall, holding a huge sword, and covered in flames. It was not afraid of human artillery and missiles at all.
What was even more terrifying was that this monster could teleport and even fly.
With a slash of its sword, more than a dozen heavy tanks were instantly reduced to ashes.
It could also summon terrifying monsters.
It crazily attacked the human army.
In front of it, no matter how many demon hunters went up, they would die!
In the end, the attack with the strength of the whole country and countless sacrifices turned into a retreat.
Human technology and weapons were as fragile as toys in front of that terrifying monster.
The only thing that was worth celebrating was that the monster seemed to have a limited range of activity. It could not leave the old county of Jianning County.
That was why the attack did not turn into a tragic defeat!
Since then, the entire United Nations Security Council fell into pessimism and despair.
Some countries even thought that the extinction of humans was unstoppable!
Therefore, they abandoned themselves to despair. The organization of the entire country quickly collapsed and was finally devoured by monsters and evil spirits. Only a few survivors barely survived by relying on the defense of the safe zone.
And now, today.
An eastern demon hunter major.
A young girl.
With a mere 10,000 soul crystals, she wanted to say that she would recover Jianning?
To be honest, if it weren\'t for the insistence and request of the representative of the East, the representatives of other countries would not have come here at all.
They were only sitting here to give face to the United Nations Security Council and that eastern country.
It was just to maintain the unity of humans.
But in everyone\'s hearts, they could not help but think that they were watching a joke.
That thought lasted until the armored vehicle of the demon hunter major drove past the sentry station built between Jianning County and a railway and officially stepped into Jianning County.
Then, everyone saw what the demon hunter major did.
At first, they were all sneering.
But just a minute later, everyone\'s eyes widened!
Because they saw a scene that was beyond their imagination and understanding!
