Chapter 1879 Spring in the Northwest
Li Changgong has been in a bad mood recently.
Because he heard that the chaos in the Jiangnan region had won several major battles in Fremons.
Not only did he become a world-famous strong man, but he also became powerful again.
This made Li Changgong, who had been defeated by Zhang Yi and had always hoped to take revenge one day, feel even more hopeless.
"If only I had led the troops there!"
Li Changgong rubbed his temple and felt very bad.
The gap between him and Zhang Yi is getting bigger and bigger. If they fight again now, Zhang Yi will be able to kill him instantly with just one move!
But it's too late to regret.
Today, the world doesn’t know what has changed.
All we know is that after Chernobyl, more mutants began to appear all over the world.
The quantity and quality of extraordinary people are the foundation of a powerful force.
Li Changgong began to feel increasingly anxious about managing the Northwest region.
He did not obtain his position in an honest way.
Shortly after the end of the world, he relied on his powerful military force to force the then regional supreme commander Zheng Yongxiu to step down.
However, the old marshal has a very high prestige in the Northwest Region Army.
Although he stepped down, there are still many of his old subordinates in the army, and most of them hold important positions.
If Li Changgong wants to manage the Northwest region well, he has to rely on their strength.
Over the past three years, he has purged some of his old officials and tried to place his trusted aides in various key departments, but he still cannot completely eliminate the so-called "remnants of the previous dynasty."
How can it still control the Northwest region?
Isn't it because he is a strong man from Ipsilon?
Even if some people in the Northwest Region are dissatisfied with him, who can replace him and protect the tens of millions of people here?
But now, the situation is different.
More and more mutants began to appear.
Xiao Lie, the God of War among the Five Extreme Gods of War, was also promoted to Ipsilon. His worries became heavier.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a knock on the door outside.
Li Changgong restrained his emotions and sat behind his desk with a dignified look.
"Come in!"
The person who walked in was a young man with slightly long hair and a cold expression.
The second generation sky god of war, Bai Zhan.
He is also Li Changgong's confidant who was promoted by him.
"Commander, Xiao Lie is here as you ordered!"
Bai Zhan said as he moved aside. Xiao Lie, who was behind him, walked to the front and respectfully performed a standard military salute.
"Captain of the Five Extremes War Gods, Xiao Lie, the War God among Men, has come to report! Please give us your instructions, Commander!"
Li Changgong raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Lie. His gaze was deep and Xiao Lie quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Li Changgong leaned back in his chair with his hands crossed on the table.
After a while, he asked, "Xiao Lie, how long have you been a soldier?"
Xiao Lie quickly replied, "I joined the army in 43, and this year is my tenth year in the army!"
Li Changgong nodded.
"You are also a very old veteran. You have worked hard to defend our country over the years. I am very grateful for your dedication."
"But as a soldier, we must stand up when the country and the people need us."
"Right? Comrade Xiao Lie?"
Xiao Lie felt something was wrong, but he still said honestly: "That's right, Commander! For the country and the people, I am willing to give everything!"
Li Changgong laughed and picked up a document and threw it forward.
"Very good, now there is such a difficult task. Looking at the entire Northwest Region, I think only you can do it!"
Xiao Lie walked slowly to the desk and picked up the document.
Li Changgong gestured for him to take a look, and Xiao Lie opened the file.
This was actually a transfer order, to transfer Xiao Lie to the northernmost part of the Northwest Region, to Ebony Town adjacent to Fremons.
The Northwest Region is very large, with more than 2,000 kilometers from Chang'an to the northernmost town of Wumu.
You know, this distance is almost as long as the distance from Chang'an to Tianhai City!
This was clearly an exile.
There is a shortage of supplies and it is extremely cold, and they have to face Fremons in the north, and in the west they have to be on guard against harassment from the chaotic alien forces in the Middle East at any time.
It's a complete chore.
Xiao Lie's hesitation fell into Li Changgong's eyes. He raised his eyelids and asked in a dissatisfied tone:
"What's wrong, Major General Xiao Lie? Are you dissatisfied with this transfer order?"
Xiao Lie's facial muscles twitched twice, and he quickly shouted, "How could that be, Commander! I will strictly follow your orders!"
Li Changgong said calmly: "It's not about following my orders, it's about following the call of the region and the people!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Lie took the transfer order, bowed seriously, then turned and left the office.
After he left, Bai Zhan asked, "Commander-in-chief, do you think Xiao Lie will go to Wumu Town to take up his post?"
Li Changgong sneered.
"Do you think he can bear the consequences of disobeying military orders?"
Bai Zhan understood and said no more.
It is true that Xiao Lie is Ipsilon, but ordinary people simply cannot understand how big the gap between Ipsilons is.
Li Changgong is now at the Black Chariot level, with an ability index of 23000 points.
He has the best resources in the entire region.
And Xiao Lie? Of course, he is also a genius, and his talent may not be inferior to Li Changgong.
But he doesn't have many resources and is also feared by Li Changgong, so now he is just a White Chariot with an ability index of 15000 points.
If Xiao Lie dared to show any rebellious intention, Li Changgong could kill him with justification!
Li Changgong was prepared for Xiao Lie to disobey the military order for this transfer.
But he didn't care at all.
Li Changgong pointed at Bai Zhan and said, "From today on, we will test everyone in the entire region every day! Once we find an alien with talent above Delta level, we must send him to Chang'an City immediately!"
Absolutely not, anyone who threatens his rule can be allowed to exist in the Northwest Region!
"Yes, Commander!"
Bai Zhan said.
……
Xiao Lie left the military headquarters. It was still snowing outside. The Northwest Region was particularly cold, and there were few pedestrians on the road outside.
Although technology is advancing rapidly nowadays, underground bunkers have been built in extremely cold environments, allowing ordinary people to survive.
But in the cities on the ground, almost only soldiers and special forces personnel can be seen.
Xiao Lie's military boots stepped on the snow. The road surface had just been cleared a few hours ago, and now there was only a thin layer of snow.
He left two sets of footprints on the empty street. Instead of taking a car, he walked back to his residence.
Faintly, accompanied by the sound of wind, noisy sounds came from the corner of the street.
"Let me go, what are you going to do? I'm a second lieutenant, I've made contributions to the region, I've fought for the commander, you can't do this to me!"
Xiao Lie narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look, and saw several fully armed soldiers escorting a young soldier with a flat head out of the gate of a military office building, and stuffed him into a military vehicle without any explanation.
Xiao Lie did not stop. Similar scenes have happened many times recently.
The second coming of the era of mutation has changed the landscape of the entire world.
More and more aliens appeared.
Li Changgong became more suspicious, so he began to capture talented people on a large scale. No one knew what his purpose was.
At this moment, a storm was brewing in Xiao Lie's heart.
……
The news that Xiao Lie received the transfer order spread like wildfire, and many people were extremely shocked after hearing the news.
The second-in-command of the army, an Ipsilon-level alien second only to Li Changgong, can be said to be the main force guarding Chang'an City!
It was indeed puzzling that he was transferred from Chang'an City to a remote northwestern military town.
However, since the order was issued directly by the supreme commander of the military, everyone could only discuss it in private.
They are no strangers to internal struggles.
Even someone as powerful as Xiao Lie would be exiled if it was discovered that he might threaten Li Changgong's position.
……
The courtyard of Xiao Lie's house.
He sat under the eaves in his military uniform, watching the falling snow outside the window.
The dark green shirt fit his body tightly, and he looked tall and brave, a natural soldier.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Xiao Lie's wife hurried to open the door. After a brief greeting, two people walked in.
A tall and burly bald man, and a thin man with a body as straight as a gun.
Among the Five Polar Gods of War, there are [North Pole God of War] Chen Jiahao, and [South Pole God of War] Di Fei.
The two were Xiao Lie's best comrades-in-arms, and it was no exaggeration to say that their relationship was like that of brothers.
The two were received by Xiao Lie's wife into the courtyard. After being served tea and snacks, Mrs. Xiao sensibly closed the door and left.
Xiao Lie turned his head and glanced at them without saying anything.
"Brother, I heard that you will be sent to the northernmost Ebony Town?"
Chen Jiahao came up and asked directly.
"Really? Do you really want to go to that godforsaken place and starve to death every day? You might freeze into a lump of ice as soon as you step out of the door there!"
The two sat down next to Xiao Lie.
Di Fei looked at him and said seriously, "Why don't you go talk to the commander again! With your ability, you shouldn't go to that kind of place."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lie suddenly laughed.
He picked up the teapot at hand and poured the steaming tea into the cup.
He drank his tea and said, "Do you think it is possible to change the order given to me by the commander-in-chief himself?"
Di Fei suddenly stood up excitedly: "If you can't do it alone, then let's go together! Call Qi Yukun and Bai Zhan!"
"Our Five Extremes God of War is the commander's confidant. He has been by his side for many years and has fought for him in battles all over the country! How could he do this to our big brother who has contributed the most?!"
Di Fei's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became extremely excited.
"Di Fei, keep your voice down! If you keep talking like this, the whole city of Chang'an will be able to hear you!"
Xiao Lie waved at him, and Di Fei sat down reluctantly.
Chen Jiahao, who looked like a fool, said to Xiao Lie very calmly:
"The commander seems to have become a different person now. Recently, I heard that he started to capture talented aliens on a large scale, and then sent them to somewhere unknown."
"We no longer trust the people around us. Many of our old friends have been transferred from core positions."
"Even you, my eldest brother, have been exiled to the borderland. If this continues, I'm afraid one day our lives will not be guaranteed."
Xiao Lie listened silently. He drank his tea, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
