Beicheng Command Center

"General, is this the mayor calling?"

A thin-looking officer pushed open the metal side door and walked into the room. He raised his head and looked at the tall and tall Scott in front of him.

"yes,"

Scott put down his bracelet and nodded slightly.

"He's calling you now? Does he want us to support Nancheng?"

The thin officer asked hesitantly.

"I'm afraid it's more than that,"

Scott shook his head and took a deep breath, "I have a hunch that this old guy may have noticed something."

He turned back and looked at the thin officer, "Are you ready?"

"Report to the general, everything is ready."

The thin officer looked stern, and immediately turned his body sideways, letting go of the shining small door behind him, stood at attention, and responded.

"good."

Scott walked straight past the lean officer and towards the light behind the small door.

A long temporary steel staircase appeared in his field of vision. He stared at the staircase and raised his steps.

A slightly chilling wind blew across his face, and the thumping sound of the leather military boots on the steel steps was like a cold war drum beating in the endless night.

Soon, he crossed the last set of stairs, stood on the high steel platform, raised his head and looked forward.

Densely packed soldiers wearing neat exoskeleton armor, standing in a square formation, and neatly arranged Seraph mecha suspended on both sides of the soldiers, slowly emerged in the night.

There was a slight glimmer of light at the end of the dark night in the distance, with an extremely subtle roar that shook the space.

The flames spitting out from the huge mecha were like bright lights, almost lighting up the entire sky. At this moment, Scott was standing in front of the neatly arranged mechas and soldiers, standing on a temporary high platform, watching Everything below.

"The fact that you can stand here proves that you are the most elite soldiers in Beicheng,"

He stared at the soldiers below, raised his fingers to point to the flickering light deep in the darkness, opened his mouth, and the loudspeakers scattered throughout the venue carried his voice to every corner,

"Right now, the gate of the southern city is being attacked by a ferocious army. This city will soon be looted by those ferocious mercenaries. Your parents, your wives, and your children will all die in this catastrophe.

"And who caused all this? It's the old man sitting in the White Jasmine Palace playing some kind of political game. He offended the consortium, but he wants us to be responsible for him!

“Not only that, he also wants to cut our military spending and deprive us of our honor, just to continue playing political games that even the children peeing on the roadside don’t play!

“This man has destroyed eight hundred years of rules in Yilan City and is the worst mayor in the history of this city!

"But he is so stupid and vicious! Even if it causes such bad consequences, he is unwilling to resign!"

He looked at the soldiers below and scanned the faces of each soldier, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Enter the White Jasmine Palace! Defeat the mayor!"

Someone in the crowd yelled.

"Enter the White Jasmine Palace! Defeat the mayor!"

Immediately afterwards, countless noisy voices sounded at the same time.

Scott waited quietly for a while, then raised his hand and motioned for everyone to quiet down.

The crowd soon fell silent.

"Enter the White Jasmine Palace! Defeat the mayor!"

However, there were still some people who seemed to be infected by the fierce atmosphere. They still raised their hands and shouted loudly. Then, cold muzzles were pressed against their temples one after another, and everyone fell silent.

"Very good, I can feel everyone's courage and enthusiasm,"

Scott stood on the high platform, looked at the neatly arranged soldiers below, raised his hands,

“However, please remember that we do not have any objection to the parliament and the constitution of Ilan City. We are just fighting for our own honor and salary to remove the cancer that is parasitic in this city.

"We are just saving this city that is about to be covered by war, and saving our wives, sons and daughters!"

Then he raised his hand, and a huge mecha emerged from behind him carrying a long cargo compartment about ten meters long and three meters high. Then the mecha opened the lid of the cargo compartment, revealing the piles of cargo inside. Mountains of hundred dollar bills.

Almost everyone's eyes were attracted at this moment.

A small but overlapping sound of rapid breathing filled the air.

Scott watched all this with a smile. He stood in front of the mountains of banknotes, raising his hands high.

"Kill Lin En and quell this war. For everyone standing here, not only can you become a hero, but you can also get a lot of money that is enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime! Make a difference today!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The crowd below became excited again and shouted loudly.

"Get in the car and let's go!"

Scott waved sharply.

A troop carrier and an off-road vehicle quickly drove out of the darkness.

The crowd below suddenly rushed towards the nearby vehicles in a noisy manner.

Scott turned around and walked down the temporary platform step by step.

The thin officer standing below immediately came up to him.

"I'll leave this to you."

Scott glanced at the thin officer and said quickly, "Stay vigilant and be careful outside."

"yes!"

The thin officer responded immediately.

Wick

The street lights on the street have been completely extinguished, and the doors of the shops adjacent to the street are ajar. A faint light overflows from the doors, shining on the silent and dark streets.

A slight tremor trembled in the air, which seemed to come from the far south, but also seemed to be very close at hand.

"Mother,"

The little girl with two ponytails was lying on the glass door of the store, looking at the shining sky in the distance, "What is that? Is it thundering?"

The woman who was sorting clothes in the store heard the child's voice, hurriedly dropped the clothes in her hands, walked to the door, hugged her daughter, "It's a bomb, don't look over there!"

"bomb?"

The little girl looked at her mother with some confusion, "Is it the one on TV?"

"Yes."

The woman nodded lightly and carried the little girl back to the store, "Don't look at her anyway, be good."

The little girl nodded ignorantly. She stood one meter away from the store door and looked up at the firelight in the dark night.

The woman turned back and arranged the clothes on the table. Then she walked to the cashier to put the clothes into storage.

But the moment she opened the cashier, a flashing red overdue notice popped up almost at the same time.

"Mom, we have guests."

At this moment, the little girl standing at the door suddenly turned around and shouted loudly.

"ah?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, "Are there any guests at this time? Are they nearby residents? Which one?"

"It's a grandpa in black."

By this time, the little girl had already reached the door.

The woman quickly walked out of the checkout counter and looked forward.

At this moment, a silver and blue old-fashioned luxury car was parked in front of the store, and an old man wearing a seemingly shabby suit and holding a golden cane was getting out of the car.

For some reason, she felt that the old man's pace was very slow. She could even see every step the old man took, but in just a blink of an eye, the old man had already reached the door of the store.

"Is it still open?"

He Ao stood at the door, glanced at the sign for boutique clothing above his head, and said slowly, "Do you have any suits here?"

"Yes, yes!"

Before the woman could react, the little girl opened the door and said, "We sell suits here, and we have all kinds of suits."

The woman standing behind just woke up from a dream and quickly reached out to hold the little girl. Her eyes fell on the old man in front of her.

With the help of the light in the store, she could vaguely see clearly that the old man's suit was not black, but gray, and the black things on the damaged suit were dried blood scabs.

Then she looked at the old man's cheek. There was no blood on the old man's cheek, but his hair was stained with a little red, some drooped down, covering his forehead, and she vaguely felt that the old man looked familiar.

And from her professional point of view, the old man's damaged gray suit looked like pure silk fabric and seemed to be custom-made. This kind of suit, even the cheapest one, was basically beyond the reach of her imagination.

Driving a limousine, wearing a custom suit, covered in blood, here at this time.

Reason told her that this old man should be very dangerous, but seeing the old man's gentle face and injuries, she hesitated and asked in a low voice, "We do have suits here, but old sir, you probably need to go to the hospital." have a look."

"My injury doesn't matter,"

He Ao shook his head and smiled, "Can you show me your suits?"

"Then please wait a moment,"

The woman hesitated and said, "I'll go look for you."

Then she turned around and walked into the back room.

"Grandpa, are you from the south?"

The little girl on the side looked up at He Ao, widened her eyes and asked, "There has been a thumping sound in the south, just like thunder. Mom said there are bombs over there. Isn't it dangerous?"

"not dangerous,"

He Ao smiled, squatted down, and looked at the little girl in front of him, "The bombs are outside the high wall."

"High walls?"

The little girl blinked, "Is it the really tall one behind us?"

"Yes,"

He Ao nodded and said slowly, "That is the high wall that protects our city."

"Ok, I know,"

The little girl said excitedly, "My dad works outside the high wall,"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, but soon she adjusted her mood, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, did you see the big robot when you came here just now? It's the one from behind. Big robots flying over the wall, lots of big robots,"

She waved her hand and said, "It flew over with just one swipe. Before I even asked my mother to come and see it, it was gone."

"Didn't see it,"

He Ao shook his head and said with a smile, "I came from the west."

"Which way is the west?"

The little girl scratched her head. She looked at the luxury car parked outside and pointed in the direction the car came from, "Is it over there?"

He Ao nodded slightly.

"Grandpa, you really can't see it,"

The little girl tilted her head, stood on tiptoes and looked at the night sky outside, pointing in the direction of the front of the car, "That's where the big robot went."

He Ao looked back and saw that the little girl was pointing to the east.

"Old sir, look at this dress, it should fit your body type,"

At this time, the woman also walked out of the back room, holding an open cardboard box in her hand, with a silver-gray suit neatly stacked inside.

Then the woman seemed to have thought of something, and then added, "We don't have any good clothes here, the most we can come up with is this."

"This dress is quite nice."

He Ao smiled and took the box. Then he glanced at the blood scab on his sleeve, "Is there water nearby? Water for cleaning."

"have!"

The little girl standing next to her immediately raised her hand, "I'll get the water!"

Then she rushed into the back room.

"Children can get a little noisy at this age."

The woman quickly said awkwardly.

"A very smart little guy,"

He Ao smiled, opened the suit package, compared the size a little, and then asked casually, "The father of the child is in the mine to the north?"

"Um,"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Most people in the north of Wake District work in the mines, but this child's father..."

"Mining accident?"

He Ao asked in a low voice.

"Um,"

The woman nodded and sighed slightly, "This is what the Wake area is like."

"Just this one,"

He Ao roughly compared his body shape, and after confirming that there was no problem with his body shape, he asked slowly, "How much does it cost?"

At this time, Eve had already found the same clothing on the Internet, and gave He Ao a reasonable price through the earphones: between 300,320 federal coins.

"This one may be a bit expensive, but it has been kept here for a long time. People nearby don't buy such expensive suits. I can make it cheaper for you and sell it to you directly at the cost price,"

The woman paused, a little nervously, "But it may still cost 270 federal coins."

"good."

He Ao chuckled and nodded, "Check out."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked to the cashier.

He Ao also walked over and saw the outstanding bill displayed on the cashier, as well as the Copes Mining emblem on the bill.

This bill shows that this store's rent for this month has been three days in arrears, and interest has begun to be accrued.

It was also specially marked with an ultra-low interest rate of 90%.

Looking at the bill, He Ao asked casually, "Is this the store of Copes Mining?"

"Um,"

The woman nodded lightly, closed the bill prompt, and sighed, "The house, lights, shelves, everything is from Copeth Mining. The rent for each item is calculated separately. If you rent it in a package, there will be a package price. Damage will need to be taken care of." Price compensation must be paid, and the goods must be purchased from their designated suppliers. In fact, we are working for the consortium and need to advance money ourselves to purchase the goods.”

As she spoke, she grabbed a few buckles and put them into the suit box in He Ao's hand. "If the size of the suit is defective when you try it on, you can use these buckles to clip it."

"OK."

He Ao smiled and nodded.

"Okay, just put your bracelet on this card reader,"

At this time, the woman also raised her head and looked at He Ao's cheek. In a daze, she finally realized where the familiar feeling just now came from. She lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Are you Mr. Lin En?"

"Um?"

He Ao raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Is it really you?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then reached out to cover the card reader, "I can't take your money."

He Ao was stunned now. He recalled carefully, and it seemed that he had no memory of treating the woman in front of him during the free clinic.

"Do you remember the Children's Health Care bill you pushed?"

The woman paused and whispered, "I suffered from a serious illness when I was a child. If your bill hadn't reimbursed most of the expenses, I would have died long ago. Now my child is also taken care of by your bill."

The Children's Health Care Act was a bill that Lynn tried to pass when she was the Minister of Women, Children and Health. It was almost thirty years ago.

"The Children's Health Insurance Act does not cover many people or conditions. It is a very compromised bill. You are lucky enough to be covered."

He Ao shook his head slightly, pushed her hand away, and swiped the bracelet across the card reader, "And this is money to buy clothes, you have to accept it."

"The water is coming!"

At this time, the little girl had already opened the small door with a small bucket of water.

With the sound of the payment arriving in the account, He Ao didn't wait for the woman to react to his words, walked over quickly, took the bucket of water from the little girl's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, wait a minute, I'll go find one." Bucket to catch your water.”

"No,"

The woman standing behind the cashier immediately ran over, stretched out her hand to hold the bucket, and looked up at He Ao, "Mr. Lin En, you can just hold this bucket. This is not valuable, so you must accept it."

He Ao looked into her eyes, paused briefly, and said with a smile, "Okay, I am indeed not necessarily that easy to find a bucket."

Hearing He Ao's words, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then she walked to the cashier, "I'll wrap up the clothes for you."

"Need not,"

He Ao shook his head, walked towards the glass door with clothes and water, smiled and waved, "I'm going to use it right away, please, if you have nothing to do tonight, you can go to bed early."

The woman stood behind the checkout counter and stopped rummaging through her bag. Before she could say anything more, the old man got into the old luxury car.

Then the car started and disappeared into the night.

In fact, it didn't take long for the old man to come in to buy things. It seemed like it only took a few minutes to go back and forth.

Until this moment, everything was over, and the woman felt that her mind was still a little confused.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl stood beside her, looking at her doubtfully.

"That's Mr. Linn."

The woman rubbed her daughter's head.

"I know,"

The little girl nodded, "That's the grandpa who talks on TV."

Hearing the little girl's words, the woman was stunned, "Have you recognized it a long time ago?"

"yes,"

The little girl put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes, "Why else would I let that grandpa in so late? I must have known that he was a good person and came to buy things, so I let him in."

"I didn't even recognize him."

The woman laughed dumbly.

"Isn't that easy to recognize?"

The little girl pouted, "I recognized him as soon as I recognized him."

"Yes Yes Yes,"

The woman rubbed the girl's head and said, "Mr. Linn praises you for being smart."

She raised her head and looked in the direction where the limousine disappeared.

Didn't she notice it at first?

Actually it doesn’t seem to be the case.

She just couldn't believe that the mayor would show up in an ordinary shop like her on such a night.

In the past, she felt that the person sitting in the screen was far away, but now it seems that he is not far away, just beside her on ordinary or extraordinary nights.

"That is,"

The little girl on the side put her hands on her hips, and then reached out to push away her mother's hand that was touching her head. "Mom, please stop touching her. Your head won't grow taller if you touch it."

The woman lowered her head and looked at the payment record in front of her.

By selling this dress, I can at least collect the rent.

Then she took back the hand that was pushed away by her daughter, reached out and pressed the store closing button, and looked at her daughter with a smile, "You know, Mr. Linn saved my mother before."

"Eh?"

The little girl's attention was immediately attracted and she came over.

The voice of Yi Yiyi was lost in the flickering darkness as the rolling shutter door slowly closed.

In the old-fashioned car, He Ao put the suit box in his hand together with the styling wax he bought on the road. He glanced at himself in the rearview mirror and began to reach out and tear off the gray suit that had stuck to his body piece by piece.

Before, I only showed my face on the phone and cleaned the blood on my face a little, but now I should clean it up.

Beicheng Command Center

The thin officer stood in the war room, looking at the densely packed mechanized troops appearing in the wilderness in the holographic projection, watching those troops quickly approaching the high wall, and took a deep breath.

"Do you want to open the door?"

An officer on the side asked in a low voice.
