Chapter 145 Those who offend me, though far away, shall be punished!
At 7 PM on September 3rd, Yunlan looked at Li Chenglong, who was still asleep, and asked Erica beside her, "Didn't you say he would definitely wake up within 7 days? Today is the ninth day, and he still hasn't woken up." Han Xiaoling beside her counted carefully, "On August 21st, our special forces went to support Langley Base, and on the 25th, we returned after the battle. Today is the 3rd, so it's indeed the 9th day." Erica smoothed her blue hair and said somewhat helplessly, "I'm not quite sure either. To help Li Chenglong stabilize his psionic energy, I almost exhausted the energy in my pendant. If you asked me to fight now, it would be very easy; my own psionic energy has already fully recovered."
Li Xue was cooking in the kitchen at this moment. Because she was a bit busy, she called Han Xiaoling over to help, and Han Xiaoling went over eagerly. Yun Lan activated her spiritual energy and closed the bedroom door remotely. She asked directly, "You shouldn't be an 8th-level Awakener, right? Unless you use it, I can't sense your spiritual energy at all, and my eyes can't see your attributes or skills either." Erica smiled slightly, "I am an S-rank Six-Winged Angel Awakener, currently at level 9. My weapon is the Six-Winged Bow." Yun Lan looked at Erica in surprise, speechless for a long time.
Erica then said, "I'm taking Alice with me this time. She's my psionic pet, and without her, my combat power can't be fully utilized. I hope you can understand." Yunlan nodded, "That's certainly possible. But after Alice leaves, won't all those computers in the central computer room become unusable?" Erica shook her head, "How could that be? Alice didn't have much to do with those computers. I only left her behind specifically for your development. However, there are indeed some inconveniences. You'll need to find a few very trusted people to learn how to operate those computers from Alice. Because this is the core of Dawn City, so we absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur."
Yunlan thought for a moment, "I'll come to learn. Anyway, I'm pregnant, so I don't have much to do and don't need to go out much. I have time to learn." Erica pondered, "You definitely can't handle all this by yourself. After all, the central computer room has over a dozen computers of various types, and it needs to process all sorts of tasks for Dawn City." Yunlan knew Erica was right, but she hadn't decided on a candidate yet; this matter needed to be handled carefully. She then asked, "When are you leaving?" Erica glanced at the calendar on the wall and said, "About two weeks from now, so you need to hurry. But learning it isn't too complicated, and I'll leave you a user manual. I had Alice translate the manual into Chinese a few days ago; it's a bit thick, only about 200,000 words."
The two were still chatting when Han Xiaoling knocked on the door and said through the lattice, "Sister-in-law, Erica, dinner is ready, and godparents are here too." Qi Guoan and Qin Fangyu had taken a liking to Han Xiaoling's intelligence and quick wit, and had suggested that she become their goddaughter, to which Han Xiaoling happily agreed. Yun Lan and Erica walked out of the room into the living room and saw that the table and chairs were already set out. Then Han Xiaoling brought out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
Qi Guoan, sitting on the sofa looking at a document, saw Yun Lan come out and said, "The team has been difficult to manage lately. Due to the betrayal of Huaxing Base, they have repeatedly harassed us, causing us great harm and even killing several of our soldiers. There's a high demand for combat readiness from all the regiments; I receive several requests for combat readiness every day." Yun Lan nodded, "Yesterday I sent Yang Liu and five other special forces members to take a detour to contact the Xu and Wei families at Feiyun Base. I expect to get results soon. Furthermore, Wei Lanxin from Lanli Base was extremely angry after hearing about this and expressed her willingness to lend us a hand."
Qin Fangyu and Li Xue each carried two dishes out of the kitchen, followed by Han Xiaoling bringing out a pot of soup. Soon, six dishes and a pot of soup were on the table. Qi Guoan washed his hands and served everyone rice. Qin Fangyu stared intently at Erica, making Erica a little embarrassed. Yun Lan laughed and said, "Mom, it's not like you've never seen Erica before, why are you still so curious?" Qin Fangyu stroked a strand of hair on Erica's shoulder before saying, "This girl is so beautiful, even I, a woman, feel a liking for her. She's like an ancient princess." Erica said somewhat shyly, "Auntie, you're joking." Qi Guoan inquired about Li Chenglong's condition, and Yun Lan only said he would wake up in a day or two. Qi Guoan declared that once Li Chenglong woke up, they would definitely send troops to attack the Huaxing base, giving that clown Fu Sanshan a heavy blow.
The next morning, before Yunlan even opened her eyes, she instinctively reached out her left hand to touch the side, but after several touches, she felt nothing. Just as she was about to open her eyes, a large hand grasped her left hand: "Sleep a little longer, I'll handle the rest." Yunlan opened her eyes abruptly and saw Li Chenglong, dressed in a bathrobe, smiling at her. She immediately rushed over: "You're finally awake. I was so worried about you these past few days." Li Chenglong gently patted Yunlan's back, comforting her: "It's alright, it's all over now, you should rest." Yunlan nodded gently. Li Chenglong looked at Yunlan's slightly protruding belly, kissed her stomach, and then began to get dressed.
Erica was already sitting in the living room, with Alice talking to her beside her. Seeing Li Chenglong's hesitant expression, Erica smiled and said, "I know you have many questions for me. Why don't we sit down and talk slowly?" Li Chenglong sat on the sofa to the right and asked, "My biggest question is about that state I'm in. Although it's indeed very strong, I gradually lose control of myself." Erica nodded, "I've already explained this to Yunlan. That's the psionic form, the combat form of an awakened being. However, this form is not yet complete, including my psionic form. I didn't expect you to awaken your psionic form at level 8. In the long history of our planet Meral, there have been many awakened beings who could awaken their psionic forms, but none of them were able to awaken at level 8. Generally, it takes level 10 to have a chance to awaken."
Alice continued, "Lord Li, the reason you lost control was due to the backlash from your psionic form. You're currently level 8, which is considered top-tier among Earthlings with superpowers or awakened individuals, but that immense power is still beyond your current level to effectively control. You must now train your mental strength. As for the training method, Miss Erica has already instructed Miss Yunlan. Secondly, you need to shorten the time you use your psionic form; with your current abilities, it should be at most one minute."
Erica then said, "Now that this important matter is settled, the second thing is that I need to take Alice away. She's my psionic pet, and I need her. I've already asked Yunlan to recommend a few people to learn how to operate and handle the various computers in the central computer room from Alice. She suggested that she, Han Xiaoling, and Chen Xiaoke come to learn." Li Chenglong nodded, "I agree to that. Not only will they learn, but I will learn too." They then chatted for a long time, and Erica also shared her experience in controlling psionic forms with Li Chenglong. She concluded by saying, "When I was traveling on Earth, I discovered many human and zombie strongholds. The Dane alien you defeated that day was a level 10 branch commander-level enemy, equivalent to a battalion commander in your army."
After finishing his conversation with Erica, Li Chenglong checked the time; it was already 7 a.m. He and Alice went to the central computer room and simultaneously sent out messages to all departments, preparing to convene a high-level meeting of Dawn City. All officers of the Dawn Army at the battalion commander level and above, as well as all deputy ministers and above from all departments of Dawn City, were required to attend the meeting. The meeting was to be held in the high-rise conference room on the eighth floor of Dawn City.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the participants arrived at the conference room on time. They were all very happy to see that Li Chenglong had not only woken up but was also in very good condition. Li Chenglong said, "The topic of our meeting today is to attack the Huaxing base." Everyone was very excited to hear that the Huaxing base was going to be attacked, and the commanders of the various regiments of the Dawn Army volunteered for the mission.
Li Chenglong gestured for a moment to quiet down, then said, "I have always believed that in this apocalyptic world, humanity should unite and fight together. However, Huaxing Base has gone back on its word and deserted its post, pushing us to the brink of despair. That's not all; when we were severely weakened, they repeatedly harassed us, detained our special envoys, and killed our soldiers and staff. This is intolerable. Therefore, I suggest that we attack Huaxing Base in three days. Since this is a matter of great importance, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to send troops, please raise your hands."
As soon as Li Chenglong finished speaking, all the attendees raised their right hands in agreement. Li Chenglong nodded: "Good, since everyone has agreed unanimously, I order that Zhao Gang's Fourth Regiment and Qi Guoan's Fifth Regiment be the main attacking force for this attack on Huaxing Base, with Zheng Aiguo leading half of his troops as support. Because the First and Third Regiments suffered heavy losses in the last incident, your current task is to recover and train new recruits. In addition, to enhance combat effectiveness, Wu Gang, who has recently been upgraded to level 7, will also participate in the battle. Alright, after the meeting, go and prepare. The two logistics departments and the joint logistics support department will ensure the distribution of all kinds of supplies. September 7th, march on Huaxing Base!"
