Chapter 376 Court Commissioner
Deep underground in the Edge Building, there is a secret medical room that is isolated from the outside world.
There are no windows here, only trapdoor metal doors controlled by multiple encryption systems, and several small vents are running quietly, providing the necessary oxygen.
The ceiling is relatively low, and the walls are inlaid with dim LED light strips, emitting a faint blue light, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant.
In the center of the room is a huge life-support machine, the main body of which is made of special alloys and fiberglass, equipped with modules such as ventilators, pacemakers and intravenous injection devices, and surrounded by multiple robotic arms, equipped with medical equipment including laser scalpels and nano-injectors.
This life-support machine was developed by the future, code-named "Mingquan". After its various modules are connected to the body of the injured, they can almost replace all organ functions to maintain the most basic vital signs and buy precious time for subsequent medical intervention.
According to the future, as long as the person is not dead on the spot, the Mingquan can keep him alive.
Of course, whether he can be cured after his life is suspended is another matter.
At this time, Fenrir, whose body was broken, was lying in the Nether Spring. His body was connected to various life-support modules by tubes. His eyes were closed and he had no reaction to the outside world. Only the data on the instrument that was beating steadily indicated that she was still alive.
Su Mo was standing by the Nether Spring and watching her silently. When Weilai walked in, he asked, "How is the situation?"
Weilai shook his head and sighed, "Her organs were severely damaged and she is not out of danger yet. There are still several major operations to be done later."
Su Mo: "When can she leave the Nether Spring?"
Weilai: "If she is lucky, it will take at least a month to stabilize. Before that, she can't stand any tossing and can only lie here."
Su Mo rubbed his temple and said, "Although this is a secret refuge area for a month, can it really last that long?"
The Edge Building has a total of 100 floors, 88 floors above ground and 12 floors underground, and this medical room is not on any of the above floors.
This is a deeper underground location. It is a refuge area secretly built by Su Mo after he moved into the Edge Building. It has sufficient living supplies and medical equipment, and the location of the passage is extremely hidden, and only a few core members know about it.
This area does not exist in the building construction drawings, there is no written record, and there is a full set of anti-stratum detection equipment, so it should not be exposed.
But now the authorities and giant companies are searching for Fenrir's whereabouts throughout the city. They are almost turning the ground upside down. It is only a matter of time before they search the Edge Building.
If they don't find it once, they will search twice, three times, and over and over again. It is difficult to guarantee that this place will not be found.
But for at least a month, Fenrir cannot leave the Nether Spring, and such a large device cannot be transported away quietly, which is a headache.
Just when Su Mo was worried, he received a call from Dongdong.
Dongdong: "Boss, look at the news, someone from the court is here."
Su Mo opened the video software, and the first news on the homepage was what Dongdong said, with the title:
[Special envoys from the World Government's Court Council came to Crescent City and will provide guidance to the city council authorities]
The "Court Council" that had been elusive for a long time finally came, which did not surprise Su Mo.
According to the world government system, the Court Council is the highest authority, which coordinates the direction of all government orders.
Using Su Mo's previous life as an analogy, the Court Council is similar to the highest power complex of the American Congress, the Federal Court, and the President.
The Court sent people to Crescent City this time because the situation here was really too much.
Let's not talk about the previous beast crisis, which was not seen for a hundred years. There is nothing to say. The city council of any city could not have predicted the arrival of the beast.
I won’t mention the various chaos in the process of handling the beast crisis. After all, with the mediation of many forces, New Moon City did not suffer a devastating blow in the end, but only some border people died.
However, what happened later was completely out of control.
At the instruction of the giant enterprise, the New Moon City authorities set up a fake award ceremony and intended to kill Fenrir, the popular leader of the Wolf Raid.
If this matter had been done, there would be nothing to say. At most, it would have been an extra document in the report to the court.
But the problem was that this matter was not done.
Not only did Fenrir fail to be killed, but he was rushed into the Tower of Babel by the other party and wreaked havoc. Only one tenth of the elite giants in the New Moon City area died, and the middle and senior management personnel were almost wiped out. Even the regional heads of the Iron Blood Union and the Black Domain Group died.
What’s more fatal is that this matter was self-defeating.
The New Moon City side hadn’t killed anyone yet, but they opened champagne in the first half and called countless media with great fanfare to convey the "execution" to everyone.
Now, not only has the ugly scene of the Tower of Babel being smashed by the Wolf King spread to the whole world, but the people in Crescent City are also angry and resentful. The residents have shown a rare refusal to obey the rule in history. The whole city is about to explode like a lit gunpowder barrel.
In this situation, the court has to intervene personally.
In the live news footage, the reporter was outside the cordon of the Crescent City Airport, and the scenery in the distance was in full view.
In the sky, dense airships kept landing on the airport runway, and the shadow cast by the huge body was also moving. As the pulleys came into contact with the ground, the whistling sound of the air caused by the deceleration of the body spread.
The hatch opened, and teams of fully armed soldiers walked out of it, with neat and smooth movements, orderly steps, and uniform rhythmic sounds under their feet.
They all wore uniform combat uniforms with solid bulletproof plates on them, holding the most advanced standard firearms, and everyone had a cold breath, no expression on their faces, only their eyes were as sharp as swords.
These soldiers were from the "Shangting Guards" of the Shangting Council. All of them were well-trained extraordinary elites. They not only had strong combat qualities, but each of them had undergone strict political review and ideological guidance, and were absolutely loyal to the Shangting. No matter what the situation, they could perform their tasks unswervingly.
Judging from the number of airships, the direct troops sent by the Shangting court number more than 100,000 people, and it seems that they are going to impose military control on Xinyue City.
The reporter stood in front of the camera and said seriously: "Dear audience, as you can see, the Shangting guards have begun to enter Xinyue City, and the special envoy's special plane has also landed at the airport. Let us take a glimpse of the dignity of this great man."
The camera focused on it, and saw a special plane with a total length of more than 70 meters slowly parked on the airport runway. The surface of the special plane was painted with a scale-shaped logo that was absolutely balanced on the left and right, which was the symbol of the Shangting Parliament.
The ground at the landing place has been paved with a red carpet, inlaid with golden patterns, gorgeous and solemn, and extending far to the gangway outside the cabin door of the special plane.
A group of Shangting guards stood in neat rows on both sides of the carpet. They had sharp eyes and maintained a focused state of alert to guard against any possible danger.
When the cabin door opened, a slender and dignified figure slowly walked out of it. The "special envoy" who was going to control the entire Xinyue City situation next finally appeared.
Su Mo was stunned when he saw this person, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "It's her."
At the Crescent City Airport, the Crescent City Council members headed by City Council Speaker Amir were preparing to pick up the plane at the end of the red carpet.
It is now the end of March, the mild and cool early spring season, the temperature is not hot at all, but this group of people kept wiping the sweat on their foreheads with handkerchiefs, and the tension in their eyes could not be hidden.
After the battle of the Tower of Babel, the authorities couldn't sleep or eat, and didn't know how to end this matter.
Now the purpose of this special envoy is unclear, and his attitude towards the Crescent City Council is unknown, which makes Amir and others very uneasy.
"Squeak--" With a burst of pressure relief, the cabin door opened, and a figure walked out accompanied by the accompanying clerk.
It was a beautiful woman, wearing a white shirt with the emblem of the court, and a black suit jacket was not put on properly, but was draped lazily on her shoulders, forming a sharp contrast with her flaming red long hair.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly her eyes. She has extremely rare golden pupils. The sun's light shines brightly in her eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it is the sun or the original color of her eyes.
The woman walked down the gangway and walked on the red carpet to Amir and others who came to pick her up.
Before Amir and others had time to say hello, the woman had already extended her hand. Whether it was the smile in her golden eyes or her magnetic voice, it was full of affinity.
"Mr. Amir, and all my colleagues in Crescent City, hello, I am Luo, the special commissioner of the Upper Court Council, and I am very happy to meet you."
Amir was originally prepared to face a cold face, but who knew that the other party was so friendly and even lowered himself to call them "colleagues"!
Amir hurriedly shook hands with Luo, smiling timidly: "Hello, leader, welcome to Xinyue City to provide guidance."
Luo covered his lips and smiled softly, his smile was still as gentle as the spring sunshine: "No need to call me so formally, just call me Luo. Although I am a special commissioner, I have just arrived. Regarding the affairs of Xinyue City, I still need the guidance of local colleagues."
Luo's appearance is beautiful, and her smile is even more beautiful. In the sun, there is even a feeling of an angel descending.
Although Amir and others would not have wild thoughts in such an occasion, facing such a beautiful woman who speaks gently and kindly, it is inevitable that people feel like being bathed in spring breeze.
Amir respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Luo, you are tired from the journey. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Let me take you to eat first."
Luo also made the same "please" with his backhand, with a calm and elegant posture, which made Amir a little flattered.
The two teams walked together to the welcoming convoy that had been waiting outside and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After watching the live news, Su Mo had many thoughts in his mind.
Giant companies dominate this world. There is no doubt that the so-called "world government" is just a puppet under the will of the giants.
But from a legal perspective, giant companies have no administrative power. If they want to implement various policies that are beneficial to themselves, they need to pass them down through this puppet.
Moreover, giant companies are not monolithic. Although the Joint Venture Company, Iron Blood Union, and Black Domain Group are collectively referred to as "giant companies", they are actually three completely independent giant forces.
This means that some policies are bound to benefit one party and not the other when they are implemented.
In order to compete for the right to speak in this regard, the "Upper Court Council", the highest authority of the world government, has become a three-party game field.
Whoever supports more people in the Upper Court has the advantage in legal terms, which makes it easier to formulate various policies that are beneficial to themselves and crack down on dissidents.
The Upper Court Council changes its term every four years. Every time it changes its term, there will be all kinds of open and secret struggles among giant companies, slander, frame-up, assassination, and even direct military conflicts.
This year's Dawn 153 is the year of the Upper Court Council's term change. The term change will be held at the end of the year. It is already a turbulent time, and it coincides with the major event of the Wolf King overturning the Tower of Babel.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Crescent City is the center of the upcoming storm, and all the forces are trapped in it.
The chessboard has been set, the chess pieces are in place, and now it depends on how the chess players make their moves.
Weilai was squeezing next to Su Mo and watching his phone with him. After the news ended, she asked worriedly: "Boss, is it a good thing or a bad thing for us for this special commissioner named Luo to come to Xinyue City?"
Su Mo stared at the live broadcast that had ended, and after a long silence, he said: "It's hard to say."
Weilai: "It's hard to say?"
Su Mo: "You should know that our world government is just a puppet on the stage. Those who go to court are supported by giant companies behind them, representing the interests of one party and serving their own master."
"Think about it again. With the current situation in Xinyue City and the upcoming court election, all three parties want to play this game well, so no one who represents the interests of one party alone will be allowed to come forward."
"Then what do you think of this special commissioner Luo who was unanimously agreed to by the three parties?"
Weilai quickly caught up with Su Mo's thoughts and answered: "No matter the camp, she is popular with all three parties and can represent their Common interests. "
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, Luo is a neutral person in the Upper Court Council. She does not work for any one of the giant companies alone, but works for all three parties at the same time."
"This kind of person is not considered "one of their own" in the eyes of the three parties, but she is also an indispensable lubricant for the huge machine of the Upper Court Council. When a stalemate occurs, it can make the tightly bitten gears roll again. "
"I can even think of what mission Luo is carrying this time. It is a mission that is in the interests of all three parties and absolutely balanced-completely eliminate the wolf king Fenrir."
After hearing this, the future couldn't help but take a breath: "Then the situation is not good. The special envoy sent by the Upper Court is our enemy. If Luo finds that Fenrir is hiding in the Edge Building, we will be in disaster."
"That's right." For some reason, Su Mo's expression became a little strange, "But this Luo. She is a little different." (End of this chapter)
