Fireworks bloomed in the night sky of S1. Another firework lit up the West Woods, announcing to everyone that fireworks had returned to the West Woods.
Eighty of the latest MX military mechas, four hundred heavy armored vehicles, and more than ten thousand elite ground troops of the 4th Military Region left their respective bases and gathered in the southern part of the Sunset State, forming a destructive torrent of iron and steel.
The Zhong family's relatives scattered all over the country, the Federation military representatives in the Golden Star Hotel, the state governments, and all the other forces turned their attention to the terrifying troops. When they confirmed that these military movements were not authorized by the Federal military and that even the 4th Military Region's headquarters did not know the reason, they knew that there was a fat and fierce figure hiding behind this troop.
Cillin Television Station had sent out five satellite broadcast vehicles and two reporting teams to the front and back of this mixed army respectively. They were responsible for broadcasting live footage to the entire Cillin Region. As the steel flood advanced towards the depths of the grasslands, the Cillin citizens, who were originally somewhat uneasy, became agitated when they guessed or learned of this army's goal through the internet.
At the end of the steel torrent, in front of a charred spaceship protected by the Zhong family's special forces deep in the grasslands, a black-haired girl in a white dress stood quietly.
The steel torrent quieted down the moment they saw the girl in the white dress. The dozens of tall and mighty MX mechas around them slowly bent their right mechanical legs, their huge bodies leaning forward clumsily to welcome the return of the princess.
Zhong Huoyan looked at the steel troop on the grasslands, looked at the shaky camera lens, and said with a smile, "I'm back. It's been hard on you all these years."
…
…
Zhong Huoyan, who had been away for three years, returned to the West Woods. The treatment she received was completely different from that of her brother. She did not need to sneak through the grasslands like a mouse like Xu Le, carefully contacting his subordinates.
She was the only heir of the Zhong family, and she was the beloved princess of the West Woods. Her return was so righteous and impressive.
Marching from the grasslands in the south of Sunset State to the state capital, the troop passed by the highway. All the vehicles on the highway consciously avoided the emergency lane, giving the wide road in the middle to this mighty troop that had traveled more than ten kilometers.
When the black bulletproof sedan in the middle of the procession passed by their vehicles, the people in the driver's seat desperately honked their horns to express the warmest welcome.
Along the way, the car that Zhong Huoyan was in entered the prefecture of Sunset State under heavy protection. After entering the city, the atmosphere became even more lively.
The citizens who saw the live broadcast of the news walked onto the streets and crowded on both sides of the road, waving their arms and shouting her name. The middle-aged people who had been remembering Commander Zhong even shed tears of excitement.
The students and naughty children riding bicycles followed the motorcade and ran forward. Some of the bolder ones shouted, "Little princess, I love you!"
Zhong Huoyan rolled down the window and waved to the people who welcomed her. Her waving was very small and elegant, but the smile on her face was so sincere that she looked like a princess who had returned from a long marriage.
If Philip saw her now, he would definitely not equate this elegant daughter of a wealthy family with the sarcastic little girl on the spaceship.
Due to many historical problems in the past, coupled with the strategy formulated by War God Li Pifu, the West Woods had sacrificed a lot of blood for the Federation, but they had never received the corresponding economic and political support.
Therefore, the West Woods society and the capital ring had always been aloof. It could even be said that all the West Woods people had always held a grudge against the Federation, especially when the news started to spread and some media started to accuse the Federation government of plotting the explosion of the Ancient Clock. This grudge had long turned into hatred.
In the eyes of the West Woods people, the Federation government and President Pabre had to pay the price for the deaths of Commander Zhong, his wife, and thousands of West Woods elite soldiers. However, after Zhong Shouhu's death, the Federation government colluded with some members of the Zhong family to strengthen their infiltration and control of the West Woods. The West Woods people were angry, but they did not dare to say anything.
With anger hidden in the chest, it was easy to feel sad. Just like the famous West Woods nursery rhyme, the West Woods people felt that they had become orphans.
With such sadness, whether it was transferring the West Woods troops to the frontline of the Zuo Tian Galaxy or any other normal policy, as long as it came from the Federation government, the people would be angry and think that it was a conspiracy to suppress the West Woods.
Grief could not be converted into strength, and the Cillin citizens who had lost their backbone could only complain after drinking. They could only curse at the capital ring in the night sky, but they could not do anything about it … until today.
Their little princess had returned. She was the rightful successor of the Ancient Clock Company and the rightful successor of the Zhong family of the West Woods by the Supreme Court of the Federation. Whether it was in front of the TV or on both sides of the street, everyone who saw the girl smiling and waving by the car window felt their backs straighten a little.
In the car, Mr. Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the street ahead, listening to the military reports that came in from time to time. Although there were snipers on the buildings along the way, he was still very worried when he saw the young lady rolling down the window and waving. She had not returned for three years. What if something happened?
"Uncle Tian, this is something that must be done. The TV station is broadcasting it live."
Zhong Huoyan smiled and waved at the people outside the window. Because she had smiled for too long, the muscles on her cheeks were a little stiff. She did not turn around and explained softly.
"I haven't returned for three years. I have to let everyone know what I look like now. And the bigger the show, the less pressure I will have over there."
Many years ago, Mr. Tian had accompanied the young Zhong Huoyan to participate in several political activities in the West Woods. At that time, when he saw the little girl's near-perfect political performance on the stage, he knew that she was extremely talented in this field.
He shook his head and sighed, no longer persuading her. However, he was still full of resentment toward Xu Le, who had abducted the young lady and left home for three years. Whether that guy was the crown prince of the empire or a hero of the Federation, if Xu Le dared to appear in front of him now, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
…
…
The convoy drove into Latitude Two and followed the straight road in front of Red Oil Restaurant. Just as they were about to enter the old mansion area, they were stopped by a group of Federation officials. A more accurate description would be that this group of pale Federation officials were surrounded by troops loyal to the Zhong family of the West Woods.
Anyone who was shrouded in the shadow of the military-use mecha would feel fear. However, the Bureau of Proclamation official at the front still mustered up his courage and shouted to the black car in front, "Bureau of Proclamation inspection!"
Zhong Huoyan calmly got out of the black car and waved her hand to signal for her subordinates to make way. She slowly walked up to the Bureau of Proclamation official and said, "Please hurry up."
With a soft beep, the data of the chip behind her neck was instantly collected. The Bureau of Proclamation official looked at the in-depth information on the screen and his expression turned extremely ugly. He bowed slightly and said, "There are no problems."
However, a few Federation officials dressed in black beside him still had questions. One of them cleared his throat and walked up to her and said, "We are from the Joint Investigation Department. We would like to invite Miss Zhong Huoyan to come back with us for investigation."
Zhong Huoyan looked at the official coldly and turned to get into the car.
The official shouted angrily, "You have to be investigated."
Zhong Huoyan turned again and said without any emotion on her face, "What can you do if I don't go? Can your department go up against my troops? "
"Do you dare to use your private forces to go against the Federation's investigation?" The official said angrily, "You have to know that if you do so, it's equivalent to treason!"
In front of the huge metal mecha, the girl in the white dress looked exceptionally small and weak. She looked at the other party with a smile and asked, "Even if it's treason, what can you do?"
There was a dead silence. The Federation officials looked at each other and did not know how to answer this question. If the Federation accused the little princess of the Zhong family of treason and she really did betray them, what could the Federation do?
Then, Zhong Huoyan looked at her cousin who was cowering behind the officials, whom she had not seen for a long time. She frowned and said in disgust, "Zhong Erlang, for the sake of relatives, I won't kill you today. Go back to your little satellite and never come back."
The joint investigation official lowered his stance and said almost pleadingly, "Miss Zhong, because this matter is too serious, you should at least let us ask a few questions."
"Only those who are suspected of committing a crime need to answer questions. Am I a suspect?"
The official wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "The entire universe knows that you've been together with the Empire's prince, Xu Le, for the past three years …"
"So what?"
Zhong Huoyan raised her brows and looked at him mockingly. "You've been together with this idiot, Zhong Erlang, every day. Are you a lunatic? Then do I have to lock you up in a mental hospital? "
…
…
A mental hospital was a mental hospital. As the creatures with the most developed brains, the human brain was also the easiest to have problems. Therefore, the Federation had many mental hospitals. These mental hospitals were strictly controlled and it was not convenient to enter or leave.
One of them was a specialized military mental hospital located in the southern hemisphere of S1. It was even more strictly supervised. It was unknown which level of instructions came from the military, but there was an infantry squad stationed here all year round.
With two crisp sounds, Xu Le slowly put down a soldier in his hand without letting him make any noise. After confirming that everyone in the room was unconscious, he took the key and walked into the mental hospital.
Because too much time had passed since that incident, the Federal military's attention to that person had severely decreased. It was even possible that they had forgotten the existence of that person and that infantry squad.
Therefore, he was not worried about alerting the other party. He silently moved forward in the deep and dark passageway of the mental hospital. He only needed to be careful to avoid the doctors and nurses.
The mental hospital was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. There were even faint traces of urine on the white walls. It was probably a masterpiece left behind by a patient who had lost control of himself.
He slowly pushed open the door to the ward, only to find that there was no one on the bed. Xu Le narrowed his eyes and then noticed that the window facing the north was filled with all kinds of mathematical symbols and complex formulas. Even he felt that it was abnormally difficult.
After looking at it silently for a moment, he walked out of the ward and continued to look for his target.
Walking in the quiet mental hospital, there were no screams, howls, or crazy ravings. There was only silence, which gave people a feeling of unease.
A sound came from the end of the passageway. Xu Le walked over and found that it was a conference room. When he saw the scene in the conference room, the expression on his face became very strange.
This was because he had never thought that someone would be able to teach in a mental hospital.
At the front of the conference room was a blackboard. In front of the blackboard was an extremely pale and thin middle-aged man. He was waving his arms and explaining something.
The man's eye sockets were deep. The fingers holding the chalk were as thin as tree branches. They were trembling non-stop. He looked weak and dispirited, but his face and even his entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of light.
"Today, we're not going to talk about the Mobius strip. Professor, I've never understood why such a simple one-sided structure needs to be named with such a complicated prefix. Plus, that's too abstract. Today, we're going to talk about the ring network topology structure."
The chalk quickly slid on the blackboard, drawing an extremely complicated ring topology structure. Looking at the complicated but surprisingly clear and concise lines, the dispirited man became excited as if he had taken drugs. His lips moved rapidly.
"The ring network topology structure is a closed topology structure. Although it's more complicated than the star configuration, it's still a very basic thing. However, if you want to know how the most advanced computer in human history works, you must first come into contact with these basic things."
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room. From their clothes, it was obvious that they were patients of the mental hospital. However, when they heard these professional terms, these patients nodded thoughtfully. They seemed to understand very well.
The dispirited man was moved by the patients' reactions. He was moved and praised, "You are really the best students in the world. You're even better than the students in No.1 Hospital!"
Xu Le stood outside the conference room and looked at this ridiculous scene. The shock in his heart gradually disappeared and was replaced by an inexplicable sadness.
He didn't want to watch anymore. He pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
The thin, dispirited man on the podium angrily threw away the chalk and roared angrily, "Those who are late should knock on the door! Don't you know how to respect … "
The voice suddenly stopped. He looked at Xu Le's face and frowned. He scratched his head and rubbed his eyes. He wanted to confirm whether he had been secretly drugged yesterday, so he had hallucinations at this time.
"It's me." Xu Le looked at him and said, "I'm here to take you away."
The man stared at him and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth. He looked very innocent and asked, "Do you have a cigarette? I won't talk to you if you don't have one. "
Xu Le took out a cigarette box and a lighter and handed them over.
The man waved to the patients below and said, "Class is over."
"Oh," the patients replied. They slowly stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Only a fat patient moved to the front of the podium. He opened his hands and asked, "Where's the candy?"
The thin man with an innocent smile was smoking happily. He was very unhappy when he was suddenly interrupted.
He took out a bag of candy and put it in the fat patient's hand. He said impatiently, "I now appoint you as the monitor. Take the candy and share it with them. Don't take it from me one by one like a fucking idiot!"
"My mother said that I'm an idiot."
The fat patient looked at him seriously and corrected him. Then he raised his thick eyebrows and asked foolishly, "Can the monitor eat a few more?"
"Whatever."
The man waved his hand with the cigarette and then looked at the silent Xu Le. He smiled and asked, "Colonel Xu Le, why should I go with you?"
"Bederman, you are the most talented genius I know."
Xu Le looked at him and said, "People like you shouldn't stay in a mental hospital."
