Ling Pingan put down his phone and stretched.
He turned on the television, and it was still with the disaster broadcasts of the various countries in Nanyang.
Ling Pingan had changed several channels and found that they were broadcasting the same news.
“It seems that the disaster in Nanyang this year is very serious!” Ling Pingan said.
That was also the basis for most people in the federal to judge the situation in foreign countries.
What if the news didn’t report it? It would be calm, and nothing had happened.
If the news started to report it, it meant that the problem had already appeared.
If it was like this, it would be reported in turn, and every television station would be tracking it.
That could only prove one thing. The situation was already extremely serious!
Other than that, many people of the federal empire couldn’t even tell how many countries there were in the world.
That was because they did not care about foreign countries at all!
Only young people like Ling Pingan, who grew up in the era of the Internet, had global awareness. They finally knew that there were five continents and four oceans in the world, and roughly knew the history of some major countries and regions. The main cultures, beliefs, and religions.
For other things, they needed the help of search engines.
Looking at the torrential rain on the news and the trees that were swaying due to the strong wind, Ling Pingan shook his head and turned off the television.
He didn’t like to watch such things, just like how he didn’t prefer to watch tragedies.
Leaning against the chair, Ling Pingan looked at the kitten, Bastet.
“What are we going to eat tonight?” He asked.
“Beef rice!” He said to himself and picked up his phone to place an order.
… … … … … … ..
Han Li walked into the security center of Linhai City’s security base.
Countless staff members looked at her with worship and admiration.
She had eliminated more than half of the monsters and evil spirits in Linhai city in less than ten days.
She had even destroyed a teleportation array!
The security situation in Linhai city had been greatly improved.
The safety committee even began to consider expanding the scope of the safety zone.
And all of this was brought by the Demon Hunter Major, who came from Donglin City.
“Hello!” Han Li went upstairs and knocked on the door of the Linhai City Safety Administration office.
“Major Han!” Sitting in the office was an old man in his fifties. When he saw Han Li, he immediately stood up to welcome her. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here…” Han Li walked in and asked the old man, “to ask Director Zhang…”
“How many soul crystals do we have in Linhai City Now?”
Soul crystals were crystals that had a certain chance of appearing after the death of monsters and evil spirits.
Because humans couldn’t understand the nature of these things, they could only use them in some basic applications.
For example, cultivating spirit plants, making spirit items like Cerulean Spirit Tea, as supplies for the demon hunter.
Or, they could be used to make the spirit blade, as the additive for it.
Therefore, all the security bases around the world had a reserve of soul crystals.
It could even be said that after the apocalypse, soul crystals had replaced the gold of the past, becoming the new equivalent and hard currency!
“Our place…” the old man thought for a moment and answered, “There should be a reserve of 3,000 to 4,000!”
Han Li nodded and asked, “Can I apply for all of them?”
“All of them?” The old man asked in surprise, “Major Han, what do you need so many soul crystals for?”
“I want to reclaim Jianning County and clean up all the monsters and evil spirits around Jianning!”
“Clear up the traffic in the middle and lower reaches of the river!”
After the great apocalypse, the global population shrank greatly, and the range of human activities was limited to one safe zone after another.
The traffic was cut off, and the communication stopped.
It took the United Nations Security Council ten years of hard work to finally rebuild the basic communication and traffic links.
However, these roads and communications were still constantly invaded by monsters and evil spirits, so it was difficult to guarantee their safety.
Among them, Jianning County was a gathering point of monsters and evil spirits that threatened the traffic of the entire middle and lower reaches of the river.
At least tens of thousands of monsters and evil spirits gathered there.
And that was only the number on the surface!
Who knew how many of them were hiding in the underground caves and ruins of buildings?
A few years ago, the country gathered the main forces of the three main war zones, but they were unable to reclaim the local area. They only set up sentry posts at the front, barely separating the local area from the main highways and railways.
Now, hearing that Han Li wanted to recover Jianning county, the old man was also shocked.
“Do you have a way?” He asked.
“I think so!” Han Li said, “We have to try!”
“If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t agree!” The old man sat down. “But if it’s you, I can report it to the superiors, but whether or not it can be approved, how much it can be approved, that’s not something I can decide!”
“But I believe that the superiors will support you!”
Recovering the lost land was everyone’s dream.
It was just like chasing away the monsters, eliminating the evil spirit, and returning the world to peace.
So, as long as there was a sliver of a chance, the humans would spare no expense!
“Thank you!” Han Li bowed deeply.
“There’s no need for that!” The old man said, “If you really can recover Jianning…”
Once Jianning County and the surrounding areas were restored, the safety of more than half of the country would be guaranteed!
But…
Last time, with the strength of the whole country, he even received the full support of the United Nations Security Council.
He had sacrificed countless sacrifices, but he still couldn’t do it. Could this demon hunter major do it?
The old man was puzzled.
But the major’s deeds gave him a glimmer of confidence!
Thus, he stood up, picked up the phone, and dialed his superior’s number.
He briefly mentioned Han Li’s request over the phone, and the other party requested a pause.
Then, after a while, it seemed that after consulting the superiors, Han Li’s request was approved!
That was within Han Li’s expectations!
If Jianning county could be recovered, the country would not hesitate to pay any price!
Not to mention soul crystals, even if they had to empty the national treasury, they wouldn’t hesitate!
Even if they knew it was a scam, they might still give it a try!
Moreover, Han Li had already used the facts to prove that she had a way to eliminate those monsters and evil spirits that couldn’t be eliminated in the past!
Since that was the case, then the will of the superiors could be understood.
Thus, Han Li obtained all the soul crystal stones in the entire Linhai city, a total of 3,700 pieces.
Including the 5,800 pieces that she had already applied for from Linhai City and was transporting by helicopter.
As well as the more than 500 pieces that she had.
She could finally take the gamble.
Two hours later, a helicopter landed at the safety zone of Linhai City and delivered a total of 5,800 soul crystal stones that Han Li wanted!
That allowed her to have more than 10,000 soul crystals.
She excitedly received these precious soul crystals and solemnly bowed to Wang Jingcheng, who was personally escorting these crystals. “Minister! Please rest assured that I will not disappoint everyone’s expectations of me!”
“Recover Jianning!”
Thus, she carried the soul crystals that were delivered and placed them in an armored vehicle that she had applied.
The soul crystals of Linhai City had already been put inside.
She sat in the driver’s seat and calmly lit the fire. Then, she drove the armored vehicle out of the safe zone.
Wang Jingcheng and a few officials of Linhai city watched her leave.
“Han Li is a good child!” Wang Jingcheng said.
“We know!” The officials said.
“We also understand that major Han Li has some difficulties to speak of…”
As long as one was not a fool, they would know that the demon hunter major must have encountered some fortuitous encounter and received some help.
That was why in less than a month, she had risen and swept through almost two cities by herself!
That was jaw-dropping and also made one’s imagination run wild.
But…
No one had any plans for her, and no one interfered with her.
It was not just because the human race was in a life-and-death crisis.
At this time, internal strife was suicidal.
At this time, uniting all the strength that could be united and using every bit of strength that could be used as the only chance for the human race to continue!
That was something that the human race understood when the demon hunter appeared.
“Let’s see how confident major Han Li is.” An official said, “Let’s hope that what Major Han Li brings us is hope!”
Although the superior stopped everyone from coveting the sight of the major.
However, people were still eager to know how confident the major was.
How did she have the confidence that she could recover Jianning with only 10,000 soul crystals?
It was not greed.
It was that humans had longed for freedom and peace for a long time!
Twenty-three years had passed since the Aporkalypse!
Countless Demon Hunter had died at the hands of monsters and evil spirits. Countless warriors and officials had sacrificed themselves for the people.
Space was filled with cabins.
A hero was lying in every cabin!
A human hero!
There was enough blood flowed!
It was a norm that people were used to!
At this time, Han Li’s sudden appearance brought hope!
Everyone was looking forward to changing!
All humans were eager to join in the new changes!
Therefore, Wang Jingcheng and these officials took the elevator and arrived at the satellite monitoring room of Linhai City’s safety center.
On the big screen here, the image of Han Li driving away appeared.
To ensure smooth communication, the country directly mobilized three precious satellites to guarantee the communication!
Moreover, this image was not only played in Linhai city.
It was also played in Donglin City’s security center, the capital’s Security Center, and the United Nations Security Council meeting.
All the eyes of the world had been attracted over.
Countless people were waiting eagerly.
“Single-handedly taking over a nightmare zone occupied by countless monsters and evil spirits?” At the United Nations Security Council, a representative sent by a certain country looked at the satellite broadcast, he felt that all of this was like a child playing house.
There was something wrong with these Easterners’ brains!
“Silence!” The speaker, who was presiding over the meeting knocked on the table heavily and issued a warning, “Mr. Director, after the Great Aporkalypse, there is no distinction between East and West!”
“All human countries share the same fate. Every human is the hope of each other!”
“I hope you take back your discriminatory words!”
“To respect our partners is to respect yourself, Mr. Council Member!”
The council member’s face twitched when he heard that. Finally, he said unwillingly, “Mr. Chairman, I take back my words and apologize to my eastern partners!”
There was no other way!
In the current world, in front of the common enemy, in front of those monsters and evil spirits that wanted to kill all humans.
Regardless of whether they were yellow, white, or black, all of them were killed and eaten.
Humans could only be united.
Only by being united could they have a chance of survival!
That was the experience gained from the past 23 years!
If they were not united, they would die!
However…
Everyone in the meeting room, including the eastern representatives, was a little confused.
That was because the large-scale attack from a few years ago was also broadcasted here.
A total of three war zones, 17 mechanized heavy soldiers!
3,500 cannons, 800 fighter jets, and over 4,000 missiles.
They were all out to attack!
Napalm and cluster bombs were thrown out without any cost.
At first, they were unstoppable, and the vanguard of the attack even directly attacked the old county town of Jianning County.
Then, the humans saw the most terrifying monsters in history!
Monsters that were more than ten meters tall, held huge swords in their hands and were covered in flames. They were not afraid of the humans’ artillery and missiles at all.
What was even more terrifying was that this monster could teleport and even fly.
With a slash of its sword, more than ten heavy tanks were instantly reduced to ashes.
It could also summon terrifying monsters.
It charged crazily at the human army.
Many demon hunters died encountering it!
In the end, with the strength of the entire country, the attack, which was made up of countless sacrifices, turned into a retreat.
Human technology and weapons were as fragile as toys in front of that terrifying monster.
The only thing that was worth celebrating was that the monster seemed to have a limited range of movement, and it could not leave the old county town of Jianning County.
That was why the attack did not turn into a tragic defeat!
Since then, the entire United Nations Security Council fell into despair.
Some countries even thought that the extinction of mankind was unstoppable!
Therefore, they gave up and the organization of the whole country quickly collapsed and was eventually swallowed by the ghosts and evil spirits. Only a few survivors barely survived by the defense of the safe zone.
And now, today.
A demon hunter major from the east.
A girl.
With just 10,000 soul crystals, she was claiming that she would recover Jianning?
To be honest, if it weren’t for the insistence and request of the representatives of the east, the representatives of other countries wouldn’t have come here at all.
They were sitting here to give reputation to the United Nations Security Council and the eastern country.
It was just to maintain the unity of mankind.
But in everyone’s hearts, they couldn’t help but feel like watching a joke.
That thought continued until the demon hunter Major’s armored car drove past the sentry post built between Jianning County and a railway and officially stepped into Jianning County.
Then, everyone saw what the demon hunter major had done.
At first, they were all sneering.
But just a minute later, everyone’s eyes widened!
Because they saw something beyond their imagination and understanding!
