Capital City was indeed the most important city in the Federation of the Milky Way. Though its name was only one character different from Shou 'er City, its construction was much more advanced.
The fog flowing out from the mountains came to the outskirts of Capital City along the sea barricade dam, and then flowed into the city along the streets and alleys. It was a marvelous scene.
Countless tall buildings could be vaguely seen amid the fog. The elevators leading to the space became dozens of thin lines in the distance, looking like the strings of a zither. The control over the space on the Main Planet was very strict, which had something to do with the space elevators that could be seen everywhere. Otherwise, the people would be able to see the spaceships falling into the spiderweb like insects every day.
Jing Jiu and Ran Handong strolled casually on the street, looking like regular tourists.
Many tourists came to this city from other states, other cities and colonized planets every day for sightseeing.
Ran Handong introduced the sceneries and culture of Capital City and the famous buildings in a low voice, thinking that everything would be fine as long as he didn't take off his hat.
People were all the same. Jing Jiu was more interested in the different sceneries.
Unfortunately, the fog was too thick. He couldn't see them clearly even though the vague sceneries on the alien planets had a unique charm.
It seemed that the fog had sensed his thought. The fog in Capital City had vanished instantly by noon.
The blazing light shone down from the almost transparent sky, illuminating everything.
There was a large sun in the sky with many specks of light. There was a planet in the west with visible rings of the planet.
He could actually see the stars and even a planet during the day.
This was a scene that couldn't be seen in Chaotian or on the Stargate Base. Jing Jiu uttered "hmm" satisfactorily.
In addition to the stars, many space stations could be seen in the sky, reflecting the light of the permanent star, which was even brighter than the real stars. The Main Planet was protected by three layers of protective shields. Otherwise, the humans in the Federation of the Milky Way couldn't survive for a long time under the ultraviolet rays and cosmic rays even though most of them could cultivate after having their genes modified.
"The largest space station in the middle of the ring is the Science Institute of the Federation; the number three laboratory of the military is in the distance; and the vacation base of a clan is in the distance."
Ran Handong explained earnestly while pointing to the sky like a competent tour guide.
His line of sight followed the tip of Ran Handong's finger and returned to the ground, fixing on a building at the end of the street.
The building was very eye-catching and extremely huge. It looked like a mountain, but it also looked like a space battleship had landed on the ground.
Ran Handong said, "That is the building of the military headquarters. In fact, it is a battleship, which can take off at any moment. It will only take twenty minutes to do so during the war."
Jing Jiu looked at the huge building in silence for a while before asking, "General Li works there?"
"He has a large office at the top of the building. However, he often goes on expeditions with the fleet, and his whereabouts are strictly confidential. No one can be sure when he is here. " Ran Handong added, "My father also has an office here, but it hasn't been used for many years."
Jing Jiu knew that she had guessed his meaning and asked, "What are the chances that he is here now?"
Staring into his eyes, Ran Handong asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Jing Jiu uttered "hmm".
Ran Handong led him to a teahouse by the street and sat down. She asked for two cups of water and turned on the light screen in her bracelet to collect the information.
She was indeed one of the most skillful Cloud Ghosts in the Federation of the Milky Way. It didn't take long for her to collect enough information.
There was a special parking area in the underground garage of the building of the military headquarters. It was because this building was a battleship to begin with, so every vehicle that entered the building would be calculated.
According to the weight analysis, all seven vehicles of General Li were here.
The dining hall of the military headquarters had been ordered to purchase a batch of white truffles ten days ago, but one third of the white truffles had been consumed the day before yesterday. It was General Li's favorite ingredient in spring. For this reason, he had traveled back and forth between a few colonized planets for two standard years in order to stay in spring.
In addition, there was more information. In the end, Ran Handong came up with a conclusion: "The probability of him being here is seventy-two percent."
Jing Jiu didn't miss his wicked disciple Gu Qing that much, but he corrected her, "It should be forty-three percent."
Though Ran Handong didn't intend to argue with him, she couldn't help but say, "He knows you're on the Main Planet; so he will come back for sure."
"He was on Lindeng eight days ago," said Jing Jiu.
Ran Handong was taken aback. "Is he on the mineral planet where the earthquake occurred?"
The mineral planet Lindeng was not famous in the Federation of the Milky Way. If she hadn't seen the news that Jing Jiu had been concerned about, she wouldn't have known where it was.
Jing Jiu said, "Based on the distance between the mineral planet and here, it will be hard for him to come back even if he jumps back and forth. He won't make it too hard for himself."
This statement contained a great deal of information and someone's confidence. Unfortunately, Ran Handong didn't notice it.
In this regard, she was far inferior to Gu Qing.
"Well, even if the probability is forty-two percent …" Ran Handong asked while staring into his eyes, "Are you going to see him?"
Looking at the building, Jing Jiu said, "The reason I came to the Main Planet was to see him."
After a moment of silence, Ran Handong picked up the cup of water in front of her and drank it up. She took off the sunglasses from her chest and handed them to Jing Jiu. Then she got up and headed for the building of the military headquarters.
Jing Jiu took the sunglasses and put them on. He pulled down the hat and followed her.
…
…
The hall on the first floor of the building of the military headquarters was empty.
Most of the officers would enter the building from the underground garage or take the flying device to the upper deck of the battleship.
As Ran Handong led Jing Jiu in the hall, she suddenly disliked her leather boots. It was not because the calf leather from the Grazing Planet was uncomfortable, but because the sound of the heels stepping on the floor was too loud.
As the daughter of Ran Donglou, she was famous in the military because of her outstanding talent in Cultivation and her good looks, and she had many pursuers.
She had been indifferent to this before, but she felt it rather bad that day.
In just a short distance of a few hundred meters, she was seen by the four generals, who engaged in a cordial conversation with her. As for greetings, there was no end to them.
Along with two beeps, the elevator moved upward. Looking at the reflection of Jing Jiu on the door, she asked expressionlessly, "Am I crazy?"
"No," replied Jing Jiu.
Ran Handong pressed, "If I weren't crazy, why would I bring you to the building of the military headquarters and take you to see General Li?"
"I have an appointment with him," said Jing Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Ran Handong couldn't help but turn her head to glance at him, wondering if what he said was true.
If he had a secret connection with General Li, why did he tell her?
"If he were in the office, what would you do when you saw him?"
"I'll tell you when I see him."
It was deathly quiet in the elevator.
It didn't take long before the door of the elevator opened slowly. The two of them walked in.
The passage and all the installations on the top floor of the battleship were made of a special alloy, which was smooth and hard. Even the green plants in the corners of the walls were fake.
This was a place devoid of life energy, and no magic method could be employed here.
There was an office desk in front of the passage, also made of metal. A middle-aged female officer stood up and said to Ran Handong with a faint smile, "Hello, Major Ran."
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Chen," said Ran Handong calmly.
General Li was the chief commander of the military headquarters and the supreme leader of the humans.
His secretary was a lieutenant colonel, which was a very reasonable thing.
The female lieutenant colonel Chen looked at Jing Jiu.
As Ran Handong was about to say something, Lieutenant Colonel Chen said with a faint smile, "Hello, Mr. Jing. Please come with me."
