Chapter 68

For the Federation, the recent days have not been easy.

Del walked into the conference room, and he could clearly see the haze on the faces of his colleagues, which seemed to be hovering under low pressure.It was a lot of fun for Del to see these high-flying guys having a day like this.But he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to these colleagues, but hurriedly lowered his head, walked quickly to his seat and sat down, then closed his eyes, and began to meditate.In fact, this is also the standard posture of other people. At this time, any extra moves may cause unnecessary conflicts.So the best way is to pretend that you can't see anything, you can't hear anything... Sometimes it is very useful to hide one's ears and steal one's voice.

"Boom boom boom boom boom...!"

Not long after Del sat down, a series of heavy footsteps gradually emerged. Hearing this sound, everyone who was pretending to be deaf and dumb opened their eyes, exchanged a disturbed look with each other, and then seemed to have received something. Looking at the door like an order, the sound of footsteps became louder and louder. Then, under the gaze of everyone, the explosion-proof iron door, which was strong enough to withstand the attack of zombies, suddenly sank inward with a "bang", and under this huge impact Under the influence of the force, the hinge of the iron door gave out a fragile creak, and then broke with a "bang", and flew backwards, hitting a poor guy sitting behind the door with a "boom". , with the blood all over his face falling to the ground together with flying and scattered teeth.Immediately afterwards, a burly and majestic figure emerged from behind the door.It was a man who looked like a polar bear, his upper body was naked, and he didn't wear anything except a cross around his neck.The tense muscles made him look quite like the leading man who played the Terminator in a science fiction movie that was once a smash hit before the disaster.

Seeing the appearance of the man, everyone else including Del remained silent, as if they had really seen the Terminator.

"Very good, you are all here, very good."

The man glanced around the conference room in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. He didn't even look at the unlucky guy who fell on the ground and moaned, but went straight to the main seat and sat down with a big horse and a golden knife. He glanced again at the people who bowed their heads and said nothing, and then slammed the table.

"Our colonies were attacked one by one, our soldiers were massacred, our slaves were taken away, and yet you are still sitting here?!!"

Hearing the man's roar, Del didn't even dare to take a breath. He lowered his head and prayed to God to protect him from being named by that demon.In fact, Del was extremely panicked deep in his heart. The reason is very simple. The current federation is really failing.

No one, including Del, thought that an attack on District [-] would eventually develop into this.Michael is also considered one of the best guys in the Federation, and the Federation Legion led by him is naturally the main force of the Federation.To be honest, during the initial expedition, Del never thought that the Federation would lose.From Del's point of view, they had already swept across half of the wilderness, and even captured several small gathering places within the sphere of influence of the Ninth District, but the Ninth District has always ignored this.From the Federation's point of view, this is the manifestation of the guilty conscience of the Ninth District, and this has also become their source of confidence.

Because of this, when Michael failed and the main army was completely defeated, and only a few assault columns fled back in embarrassment, Del and his little friends were almost stunned.

The Federation sounds like a fancy name, but in fact, in the final analysis, they are just a force struggling to survive in the wasteland after the cataclysm, and their essence is not much different from existences like the Ninth District.It's just that the original birthplace of the Federation was in an army base, and most of the people were soldiers.Coupled with their good equipment and weapons, the Federation has embarked on a different development path from the Ninth District.

In fact, the reason why the federation has a tradition of people with anti-ability is not without reason. It was not long after the federation was established that some capable people came to the door, trying to use their abilities to control this gathering place, in order to obtain strategic materials and reserves.But after a bitter battle, the fighters of the Federation finally wiped out the capable user and won the victory.It was the early days after the disaster, when people were quite panicked.And the fact that the Federation was able to defeat a capable person with a group of ordinary people naturally became a record worthy of special mention.In fact, the reason why many people chose to join the federation after that was because of this.After all, everyone was in turmoil after the disaster, and they were also very vigilant and worried about the existence of capable people. Most people had no ability to resist capable people, so the Federation seemed to them a force worth relying on—at least compared to those monsters with the same ability Those who want to be trustworthy.

Due to militarized management and the guns and weapons in their hands, the Federation has gradually grown.And began to devour other gathering places and expand. Of course, they will inevitably encounter resistance, and there are many capable people among them.But most of these low-level ability users are not the Federation's opponents, and their failures and deaths have in turn enhanced the Federation's reputation.Del has always been proud of it.But he didn't expect that the crisis facing the Federation at the moment was also related to this.

The failure of the main army shocked the entire Federation, and many people were shaken.Due to the federation's anti-ability user policy, they almost killed all the ability users.Under such circumstances, there is no peace at all between the Federation and the ability users. In the past, the ability users were weak, and the Federation didn't need to care about their thoughts.But now, when facing an enemy like the Ninth District, they found that they had to care.

However, the Federation hadn't come out of the shadow of the failure to attack the Ninth District, but they were stunned by an even more explosive news—the Ninth District began to counterattack!

Headed by "Queen" and "Butcher", more than half of the seven giants in the ninth district have joined in the looting and plundering of the Federation.With their subordinates, they ransacked one stronghold after another of the Federation as if entering no man's land. All those who resisted were killed, and those who surrendered were captured and turned into slaves.

Of course, the Federation is not aware that this is a voluntary act of the Seven Giants. In fact, the Ninth District does not have a unified political right at all. Instead, they are more like a cooperative alliance.But the federation didn't know anything about it, and even if they knew, they wouldn't believe such a stupid joke. After all, according to common sense, this kind of loose alliance would only be broken with one attack, and there was no possibility of victory at all.

And more importantly...

"Now our federation's reputation is on the verge of collapse!"

The man slammed his fist heavily on the table, looking quite angry.The cornerstone of the federation is to resist and defeat capable people, which has always been the basis for people to gather in the federation.But now, this foundation has been broken, and the Federation never expected that the difference between high-level ability users and low-level ability users is so great that they simply have no way to deal with it.He could only watch helplessly as each stronghold was defeated, fell, and then turned into hell in the midst of plundering and killing.As a result, the federation began to become chaotic. If the federation couldn't defeat these reckless ability users, then they themselves would also head towards chaos and destruction.

"Dell!"

Hearing the man's voice, Del trembled suddenly, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up, forcing himself to look at the polar bear in front of him.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"I want to know, did you have any results with those damn things? I want a clear and unmistakable report, not a scrap of paper full of words like 'maybe', 'probably', 'maybe'!"

"I, we are working hard, my lord! I guarantee that some phased results have been achieved, but the assistance we have received from... those people is not enough to complete our final concept...so..."

"I don't want to hear your excuses anymore."

Before Del finished speaking, he was completely interrupted by the man waving his hand.

"I don't want to hear these damn bad news, I just ask, and then you come and finish it for me, I only give you one week! One week! I don't care what you do, I will give you what you gave me What is drawn on paper becomes reality! Got it, Del?"

"Yes, my lord..."

Hearing the man's roar, Del lowered his head tremblingly.

"I understand what you mean, and I will go to deal with it myself."
