Although the insectoid war only lasted for three days, China's population dropped by 4%, and that was with the Lan Bai Society holding back the majority of the insectoids.
In the fifth national census in 2000, it was announced that the population increased by 1%, but that was a number that no one could verify.
Without a doubt, the largest cleansing program in history was used in 1999.
On December 28th of that year, almost everyone in the world who was born before that day had fake memories of those three days.
In other words …
"When I was 4 years old, my memories were also altered?" Mo Qiong tilted his head.
Master Gou nodded. "If you were 4 years old, who knows how much, just seal it away. Oh right, since you've activated your MP this time, you should be able to recall some memories from when you were 4 years old. "
"Maybe your dad was also a civilian hero back then."
Mo Qiong was shocked. That year was a war of near extinction, although the world was in chaos, and there were many crazy civilians who did whatever they wanted, there were also many civilian heroes.
Even if the insectoids were an undefeatable enemy, they still took up their weapons and tried their best to stop them.
After all, they had no other choice.
These people returned to their old lives after the war, and didn't know that they had faced the terrifying insectoids.
Although there was no personal glory in that war, and no one received any rewards, including the Lan Bai Society, but the prosperity of the 21st century was the most valuable reward.
Of course, those who performed exceptionally well wouldn't be buried just like that. Later on, they would meet people who recognized their talents, and would bring them to positions that they didn't even know they were good at, where they could display their dazzling talents during the war.
Mo Qiong rubbed his throat, thinking that his dad was still the same, even if he did contribute during the war, he probably didn't have any outstanding talents.
After getting off the plane, he took a deep breath of the Las Vegas air.
Mo Qiong turned on his phone and found that the information on the intranet had been updated.
In the title column, there was one Beta medal and three Alpha medals.
20 Alpha medals were automatically converted into one Beta medal, signifying that he was promoted to the Beta Society. This was a one-time opportunity, and any more Alpha medals would only be icing on the cake.
As a Beta Society member, he would have to deal with at least Beta class anomalies to get a Beta medal.
No matter how many Alphas he had, it wouldn't help him get promoted to Gamma class.
"Hm, can I join the special organization?" Mo Qiong checked the update and found that Beta members could become members of the special organization.
The so-called special organization meant that they were allowed to control certain Derivatives, Anomalies, or purposely infect them with certain characteristics to form a special combat power.
Even though Mo Qiong had the Wood Armored Beast and the Mutated Blood Man effect now, he still had the Wood Armored Beast.
But that was only because he got it during a mission, or because he was allowed to use it under special circumstances.
This was not a formal organization. It could be said that he was a forerunner. Mo Qiong's development and utilization had produced results. In the future, he might be used as an example to form a new organization.
Among them, the Deep One effect, he was a special case. Forming an organization required a member with mental resistance.
There was no need to even mention the mutated bloodline people. They were extremely deceptive and had too much randomness. Mo Qiong's blood had countless miraculous uses, but what could it do about other people's cuttlefish soup and hotpot base?
As for the Wood Armored Beast, if it were to be popularized, it would be directly allocated to all members.
But now, the real special units were those that couldn't be popularized and could only be armed on a small scale.
Without a doubt, the Preachers were the most respected of the special organizations. The anomalies they controlled were extremely dangerous and unique, some of them were even anomalies themselves.
In comparison, the other special organizations mostly controlled Derivatives or had certain characteristics.
The only ones that were similar to the Preachers and had anomalies were the Bastet squad.
Because Bastet Metal was Alpha-grade, it was extremely safe, and there were a lot of them. It was one of the anomalies that Lan Bai She received the most special treatment, and it had already been allocated to over a hundred people.
How safe was this thing? So safe that Lan Bai She had once tried to prove that Bastet Metal wasn't an anomaly, but rather a scientific product.
Of course, that was in the early days, and the result was a merciless slap to the face. Because even certain Omega anomalies couldn't change Bastet Metal, not even the insectoids could destroy it.
In terms of indestructibility, Bastet Metal was without a doubt the number one metal in the known universe.
Of course, Lan Bai She had now begun to research whether or not it was a Derivative. But even now, there was no way to prove it. They could only temporarily conclude that it was a collective scattered anomaly similar to the trash can race.
Aside from this special organization, there were also a few Ironhead squads, Undead squads, Abyss squads, Space squads, Valkyrie squads, Sword Bearers, non-human anomalies, Iron Willpower squads …
All of these special organizations were either Derivatives or infected with certain characteristics, although some of them were more absolute than anomalies …
[Is there anyone who wants to join? You'll definitely be able to pass some special organizations. Like this Abyss squad, you've already met the requirements. Everyone here has the ability to resist the deep sea environment. If you apply now, you'll be able to join on the same day,] Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong asked, [If I join the Abyss squad, will I be fighting in the deep sea for a long time?]
[Oh, that's not necessarily true. I'm a member of the Iron Willpower squad, and I'll still be bringing a newbie like you, right? You'll be gathered for special missions, but most of the time, you'll still be scattered in groups of two. It's impossible for a group of special organizations to all stay in one place and wait for orders, right? Otherwise, if there's a situation in the eastern hemisphere, you'll have to urgently transfer a squad from the western hemisphere over?] Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong nodded, thinking that it made sense.
[Like a university club? You'll only gather for club activities?]
Master Gou thought for a bit and said, [Uh … you can think of it that way. But once you join a special organization, you'll have to go to some places every year. For example, in the Abyss squad, you'll have to be on duty in the Mariana Trench for at least a month every year.]
Mo Qiong of course understood. Some anomalies or areas couldn't be left behind by a special organization for a long time, not even a day.
So once you join a special organization, you'll have to go to a certain place every year to guard or suppress a certain thing.
[Can I join more than one organization?] Mo Qiong asked.
[Of course. If you have the ability to pass, you can join.] Master Gou laughed.
Mo Qiong immediately said, [I want to join Bastet's squad!]
Of course, this was his first choice. When he saw Bastet's metal for the first time on Meng Island, he wanted to have one.
It was the hardest metal that even the insectoids couldn't destroy, and the Iron Head Squad could only make their skulls imitate it. It couldn't be smelted by any means, and could only be controlled and shaped by spiritual power.
This was the best arrow.
Master Gou rolled his eyes and said, [Forget it! You haven't even activated your spiritual power, and you want to join Bastet's squad?]
Mo Qiong curled his lips and said, [Aren't I here for training? After I activate it, if I have good talent, I can join, right?]
He believed that once he activated his spiritual power, combined with Absolute Hit, there would definitely be a qualitative change, just like the Air Wall and Wood Armor.
[How can it be that simple? Do you think I don't want to join? Because Bastet's squad directly holds anomalies, the number is limited. There's no fixed standard. You have to surpass the original Bastet's squad member in terms of spiritual control to be able to replace his position, understand?] Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong understood. It was true. There was only so much metal. No matter how strong his spiritual power was, once he joined Bastet's squad, the higher-ups wouldn't give him any Bastet's metal.
He had to be stronger than the current weakest member of Bastet's squad. In other words, the members of Bastet's squad were the 100 strongest in terms of spiritual control in the entire Blue and White Society!
Generally speaking, this wasn't a standard that could be reached by someone who had just activated their spiritual power.
Mo Qiong hadn't even activated his spiritual power yet, so he couldn't assess whether he was qualified or not.
