Chapter 485 Zhao Wuji Arrives
On the morning of September 27, Li Chenglong, Yun Lan, Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, Ma Tiancheng and others arrived at Shuguang City Civil Airport to welcome the distinguished guests.
The civilian aviation of Dawn City is called Bright Aviation, operated by the Dawn City Aviation Department, and currently has five X2-type passenger ships. Due to the rampant Void creatures, the Air Force also dispatches at least two Tyrannosaurus Rex fighters to escort each passenger ship during its flight.
At 9:30 a.m., an X2 passenger ship slowly landed at the civilian airport, while the four escorting Tyrannosaurus fighter jets flew away to continue their reconnaissance missions in the surrounding area.
The passenger ship's cabin door slowly opened, and the stairs descended automatically. To the accompaniment of a military band, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the New Human Empire, along with his left and right prime ministers Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yanran, descended the stairs one after another.
Li Chenglong quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Wuji. The scene of the two shaking hands and talking was broadcast live by the media present. The live broadcast could be viewed anywhere covered by the Crystal Network.
This was Zhao Wuji's first visit to Dawn City. Li Chenglong personally introduced the main members of Dawn City and the Dawn Army to Zhao Wuji, who shook hands with each of them and exchanged brief greetings. Afterwards, everyone boarded various vehicles, and the convoy sped towards Dawn Tower.
The convoy drove directly to the foot of the Dawn Tower. Zhao Wuji opened the door and stepped out, immediately seeing the towering Dawn Tower with a beam of light shooting straight into the sky at its tip, making it appear extremely majestic and imposing. He smiled and said to Li Chenglong, "Lord Li, this magnificent building is far superior to my imperial city."
Li Chenglong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Not at all, not at all. It's all thanks to the help of our alien friends that Dawn City is what it is today."
The welcome was even greater here, with many people working at the Dawn Tower and a considerable number of ordinary citizens coming to welcome Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji walked to a makeshift podium and spoke into the microphone: "Friends of Dawn City, hello everyone. I am Zhao Wuji, the highest-ranking officer of the New Human Empire in the south. These people next to me are my left and right deputies, and a few other key officers."
After introducing his people, he continued, "I am very happy to see so many people gathered here to welcome us, because everyone can put aside the hatred and rifts caused in the first two years of the apocalypse and join hands to fight against those void creatures."
Finally, he solemnly declared, "We have come here to deepen our cooperation with Dawn City and discuss matters concerning future joint operations. I believe that through our combined efforts, we will ultimately achieve victory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause broke out. Zhao Wuji bowed slightly to everyone and then walked into the Dawn Tower.
At 11 a.m., all the main leaders of Dawn City, including the ministers and deputy ministers of various departments, as well as officers of the Dawn Army at the division and above, gathered in the large conference hall on the second floor of Dawn Tower to begin the meeting.
Currently, due to its limited size, the main conference hall on the second floor of the Dawn Tower rarely hosts large meetings anymore; it is generally only used for meetings with fewer than 500 people. The entire second floor is also divided into a medium-sized conference hall, a reception room, and the city lord's office to meet different needs.
The meeting lasted two hours and concluded successfully at 1 p.m. Three very important decisions were made during the meeting.
The first is that Dawn City and the New Human Empire have officially established a strategic alliance. Although they had already reached cooperation agreements in many areas through multiple contacts, this was not the first time.
During this period, Shen Menghua, the deputy city lord of Dawn City and the Minister of Industry and Information, even traveled south to the capital of the New Human Empire under the protection of a special forces team to discuss trade contracts with them. Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yanran also visited Dawn City several times and purchased a considerable amount of weapons and equipment.
However, this strategic alliance is entirely different in nature and significance. From now on, Dawn City and the New Human Empire will cooperate in all aspects, which will greatly enhance the combat power of the entire China.
The second decision concerns dealing with the increasingly rampant Void creatures. Currently, a large number of Void creatures are gathering in central China, wantonly destroying the natural environment and turning many places into dead zones.
Faced with this critical situation, Zhao Wuji decided to launch a northern expedition. At that time, Dawn City and Black Gold City would also send troops to attack the void creatures from both the north and south.
The third decision concerned the entire Chinese nation. Li Chenglong, representing the Chinese headquarters, held preliminary discussions with Zhao Wuji regarding the New Human Empire joining Chinese society as a part of it.
Zhao Wuji expressed his initial agreement, but said that the matter was of great importance and required careful consideration, and could not be resolved in a short time.
After the meeting, both sides jointly read out the newly signed joint declaration in front of the media in Shuguang City and answered questions from reporters from Shuguang City and Huaxia headquarters.
After finishing all this, it was already 2 p.m. The two sides held a celebration banquet at the Qingfeng Hotel, which is not far from the Dawn Tower. The members who had just attended the meeting, including some media personnel, were also present.
After the banquet, Zhao Wuji's entourage, led by Han Feng, went to rest in a place specially arranged for them, while he, Dongfang Yunbing, and Nangong Yanran went to Li Chenglong's city lord office. Li Chenglong and Yun Lan had already arrived there, and had their secretaries Hai Lianyi and Wenren Yu serve tea, fruit, and snacks.
A short while later, Cecily, Marina, Keltilan, Sitros, Qin Susu, and Lena, a total of six level 13 ability users or superpowered individuals, arrived. Having already met, they exchanged a simple greeting and then sat down.
Qin Susu, an A-level Illusionary Butterfly Spirit Awakener, leveled up to level 13 a few days ago while helping the Dawn Army's 1st Army in battle. She is also the second level 13 Awakener in Dawn City.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Nangong Yanran stood up and said with a smile, "I borrowed City Lord Li's office to gather all of you level 13 experts together because I have made an important discovery after a long period of research."
Everyone looked at her, curious to know what new discovery she had made. Nangong Yanran continued, "I've found a way to level up to level 14!"
Her words caused a huge stir. Marina, Keltilan, Cecily, and Lena all stared at her in shock. Leaving aside the others, Lena was the Grand Elder of their planet Hyland and the leading figure in their planet's technological research.
She has been at level 13 for hundreds of years and has been searching for and researching ways to reach level 14, but to no avail. Now, she has been discovered by a little girl on Earth.
Zhao Wuji looked at his aunt, Nangong Yanran, with surprise. It was clear that even he, the supreme ruler of the New Human Empire, was unaware of this so-called research achievement.
Nangong Yanran smiled and explained to Zhao Wuji, "This is also a new discovery from my research lab last night. It hasn't been verified yet, so I didn't tell you."
Zhao Wuji nodded and smiled, saying, "It's alright, Auntie. Tell me quickly, everyone wants to know what your new discovery is."
She then began to explain in detail. To make her explanation clearer, she borrowed a Crystal Computer and a small blackboard from Li Chenglong and started to teach.
Half an hour later, her explanation finally ended. Although it took a long time, the content was actually very simple: gather all the level 12 and 13 ability users in China together and use their combined energy to help one person level up.
Although it sounds simple, her new discovery is actually based on the upgrade process of superhumans on Earth, and whether it is suitable for all level 13 powerhouses remains to be seen. Secondly, her new discovery has not yet been verified, and whether it works or poses any dangers is still unknown.
After Nangong Yanran finished speaking, she looked at the silent crowd and said with a smile, "I feel that although it has not been proven or tested, we can still give it a try. If we can really cultivate a level 14 expert, then our current predicament will be solved."
