Man at the top of the food chain

Volume 5: Burning Earth Chapter 2: Changes

A year later, on the streets of Tianjing.

Xia Yunyun was walking with a young man. The young man had long platinum hair and wore a black suit. He looked tall and handsome, but his eyes always had a sense of vicissitudes of life. From between his brows, you can vaguely see some resemblance to Xia Yunyun.

Xia Yunyun smiled and said to the young man: "When Yang Guang saw you just now, he thought I had an extra brother."

"Well, the power of life has made my body reborn again and returned to its peak state." The young man looked at the various scenes on the street with a look of surprise on his face: "Tell me, tell me, the year and a half I was asleep , what happened?”

This young man with a look of vicissitudes of life in his eyes was Xia Liekong who finally woke up after sleeping for a year and a half. At this time, he looked like a young man in his twenties. There was no trace of his original age, and there was no trace of the old look he showed when he was sleeping.

This is because in his dragon phase reincarnation, he possesses the eight powers of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, life and death, and the disillusionment of life and death, and the power of life allows him to heal his injuries through deep sleep, allowing his body to return to its peak.

Xia Yunyun said with a smile: "That's a long story..."

At the moment, Xia Yunyun slowly told Xia Liekong a series of things that happened after Xia Liekong fell into coma. As he listened, Xia Liekong's eyes became more and more surprised.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at a pedestrian street in the city center. Looking at the lively scene in front of them, Xia Liekong murmured: "So, Li Anping has been in seclusion for more than a year?"

"Yes." Xia Yunyun nodded and sighed: "Brother Li has not appeared for more than a year. It is said that after he came back from Dongyang, he entered the Eighth Research Institute and practiced hard every day. The goal is to break through The fifth energy level.”

Xia Liekong frowned and said, "If, as you said before, Li Anping is the real leader of Daxia now, then is it okay if he hasn't appeared for a year?"

Xia Yunyun shook his head and was thinking about how to explain to Xia Liekong. Suddenly a series of girls' screams erupted in front. Xia Liekong's expression changed, and a whirlwind rolled up under his feet. He rose into the air and rushed out with a wave of afterimages.

While sprinting, he was trying to create an illusion so that the people around him couldn't see him. In order not to shock the world, he found that although there were citizens pointing at him on the street, and some people even took out their cameras to take pictures, none of them expressed surprise, as if a person was flying in the sky. The same as normal.

Just when he felt strange, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. Two men in blue and white uniforms suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.

Xia Liekong was shocked: 'It's so fast, no, there is no shadow coming at all, is it teleportation? ’

Just as Xia Lie was thinking about this, two men in uniforms had already spoken: "Friend, are you okay? Flying is not allowed within the fourth ring road of Tianjing. Please come down first."

Xia Liekong frowned: "Are you from Daxia Longque? I just heard a woman screaming."

One of them waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's because of the new issue of "Fighting Soul" at the newsstand over there. The cover character of this issue seems to be Lord Jinguang. It must be his fans who are screaming."

While he was explaining, the companion beside him suddenly frowned: "No, I didn't find his information in the ability database. You didn't register?"

When he said this, the two of them were on guard at the same time. Their mental energy surged, and they stared at Xia Liekong from left to right: "Who are you?"

"Why wasn't it registered?"

Xia Liekong shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about. But I definitely have no malice."

Just as the three of them were at war with each other, Xia Yunyunqi finally ran over. He shouted loudly at their feet: "Wait, don't do it, it's all a misunderstanding."

After some explanations, the two members of the Great Xia Longque nodded towards Xia Liekong and said, "It turns out that the ability has just been awakened, so go and register as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will be arrested as a gangster.

Another person said: "I'm sorry, there are a lot of capable spies abroad recently. Although you have the certificate issued by the above, we still have to go through the routine."

As he spoke, he put a white bracelet on Xia Liekong's wrist and explained: "This is a tracker, don't try to remove it, otherwise it will be dangerous. When the ability is registered, the people at the registration office will help You took it down."

Xia Liekong looked at the ring on his wrist with curiosity. Xia Yunyun on the side nodded to express his understanding to the two of them. She knew that no one in the government could act outside the rules, and it would be meaningless even if she revealed her and Xia Liekong's identities.

Because the entire government system is under the surveillance of the intelligence system managed by Momo and Li Qian. Once the two people in front of them are suspected of illegal operations, they will be arrested immediately and put on trial.

Today's Daxia is no longer what it used to be. It is now like the most precise instrument. Every gear is constantly running efficiently according to the prescribed route, and any obstructing parts will be disassembled as quickly as possible. , then destroyed and replaced with the next one.

As a result, government labor shortages have occurred in many parts of the country. Such intense surveillance and pressure have caused many young people in government departments to choose to resign and look for other jobs.

Even though Li Anping has not shown up for more than a year, no one dares to violate the policy he set. He is like a holy sword hanging above everyone's heads in Daxia.

Watching the two disappear in an instant, Xia Liekong blinked and said, "Teleport? This ability is very powerful. What are their names?"

Xia Yunyun smiled and said, "How do I know what they are called? And that's not teleportation, it's phase matrix."

Xia Liekong chewed on these four words and continued to listen to Xia Yunyun's explanation.

"Anyway, I don't know the specific principle. It's all done by the doctor, Emma, ​​and Dr. Xia Lu from the Eighth Research Institute. It can allow authorized people to perform similar long-distance space teleportation throughout Tianjing."

Xia Liekong nodded, not quite understanding, and looked at the passers-by around him, but found that they had already done their own things, and the expressions on their faces were completely accustomed to it.

Xia Liekong sighed, "It seems that everyone has really gotten used to the existence of people with special abilities. In the past, I would have been watched by people with special abilities."

Xia Yunyun smiled, "It's not like this everywhere. People with special abilities will still attract people with special abilities in many other places. It's just that Tianjing is the headquarters of Daxia Longque. The work of recruiting people with special abilities is carried out here. It is a place where many people with special abilities gather. The density of people with special abilities is the highest in the world. The citizens here are more knowledgeable."

Xia Liekong asked again, "Speaking of which, do people with special abilities have to register now?"

"Yes." Xia Yunyun nodded and said, "Yang Guang has arranged it for us. It's to register the type and function of the ability, or test the level. Different abilities will have different arrangements in the future. However, unless it is a very dangerous ability, registration will generally not have any impact on life."

Xia Liekong nodded thoughtfully. At this time, another series of girls' screams came into his ears, but this time he did not fly over again, but walked slowly towards the place where the screams came from with Xia Yunyun.

He remembered what the two ability users had just said, and asked Xia Yunyun: "What is "Fighting Soul"? Do you know?"

"Oh, "Fighting Soul". Speaking of it, it seems that the new issue is coming out today." Xia Yunyun explained to Xia Liekong: "It is a magazine about ability users, and the main focus is on the battles, strength, and some gossip of ability users."

In Xia Yunyun's introduction, Xia Liekong learned that Fighting Soul is a magazine dedicated to superpowers, similar to the martial arts magazines "Black Belt" and "Fighting" in the past. It's just that the content has changed from martial arts and martial artists to abilities and ability users.

As the two were talking, a newsstand appeared in their sight. From time to time, several women passed by the newsstand and picked up a magazine. Screams, praises, and exclamations came from their mouths.

Seeing Xia Liekong's puzzled look, Xia Yunyun simply pulled him over and bought him a copy of Fighting Soul.

On the cover of the magazine. The huge words "Fighting Soul" looked vigorous and powerful, followed by rows of subheadings.

"The ten most dangerous abilities in history."

"Southern Xinjiang, the Avengers strike again."

"The strongest fourth-level ability user! Jin Guang tells you secrets you don't know."

The cover of the entire magazine is a young man with golden hair, who is folding his arms. Standing one foot in the air, wearing the blue and white uniform of Daxia Longque, the whole person is as cold as an iceberg.

Xia Liekong pointed to the golden light on the cover and said: "Is he an ability user?"

Xia Yunyun nodded: "Yes, his name is Jin Guang, he joined Daxia Longque after grandpa fell asleep. He is very powerful. I heard from Liu Sheng that after he reached the fourth level, he already had the destructive power comparable to that of a fifth-level ability user.

Because Brother Li is in seclusion, the higher-ups plan to use him as one of the promotional points for ability users." At this point, Xia Yunyun smiled: "He has a high exposure rate recently and is very popular in Daxia. I heard that a group of female fans jointly asked him to publish a photo album."

Just as the two were talking, two more little girls carrying school bags and wearing school uniforms came to the schoolbag stall and each bought a copy of "Fighting Spirit".

Actually, this Fighting Spirit magazine was originally completely male-oriented, but because the cover of this issue was golden light and there was a rare exclusive interview in it. So many fans came to buy the magazine spontaneously, and even fan groups pooled money to buy it to increase the sales of the magazine.

Xia Liekong naturally couldn't understand this kind of thing. He just worriedly said: "The abilities of the ability users are all secrets, right? Is it okay to expose them to the magazine like this?"

Xia Yunyun explained: "These are just like magazines for military fans, and they don't involve any confidential issues. But recently, fewer and fewer people buy paper magazines. For example, the new magazine "Fighting Spirit" was electronic when the first issue was released.

Unless they are fans, most people go directly to their website to read the latest news about the ability users."

Xia Liekong looked at the busy people on the street with emotion. Daxia has really changed too much.
