Tianjing City, National Security Bureau headquarters.
Dongfang Dekang stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking thoughtfully into the distance.
Information about the Demon Realm and the monsters in the Demon Cave was sent to him one by one.
It seemed like exciting news, but there was no joy in his heart.
"Director, the high-level video conference will start in three minutes."
A male secretary stood respectfully beside him and reminded him in a low voice.
"Well, let's go."
Dongfang Dekang recovered his thoughts, turned around and walked out of the office, heading to the conference hall.
He was the only one in the huge conference hall.
Opposite, there are five huge TV screens.
On the screen, the national emblem of Daxia flashed across the screen, and five figures appeared on it.
Four men and one woman, all over 60 or 70 years old.
"Dear leaders and heads of the four major families, hello everyone."
Dongfang Dekang stood up slightly and saluted the five people on the screen.
"Lao Kang, we are all our own people, there is no need to be restrained."
The old man in a Chinese tunic suit who was in the center of the five screens with a red flag in the background said kindly: "I received news that all the monsters in the Demon Cave are now asleep. Some people say that this is a good opportunity to regain lost territory. What do you think?"
"I believe that things are definitely not as simple as imagined." Dongfang Dekang said slowly: "Monsters from the Demon Cave have been ravaging the earth for decades. We have never understood their origin and purpose, even though they have stopped now. activities, but we still cannot take it lightly and must prepare comprehensive response strategies.”
The old man in Chinese tunic suit nodded slightly and looked at the other four: "Four, what do you think?"
Li Guangrong, the head of the Li family, said: "Lao Kang has always been cautious. We should consider this matter in the long term and not rush to regain the lost territory and wait..."
"What are you waiting for?" Chen Kaizhi, the head of the Chen family, suddenly interrupted Li Guangrong and said, "We should take advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly regain the lost territory. At the same time, we should move all the people there to stabilize our territory and expand our victory!"
"Now, other countries have started to take action. If we don't take action, those lost territories will not be occupied by other countries!"
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Qinghe, also held the same opinion and said: "Old Chen is right. On the southern border, countries such as Taiguo, Miandian, Laowo, and Asan have already begun to take action. I am very worried about our territory. We will be cannibalized by them, after all, they will not just wait for us to regain the lost ground!"
The head of the Zhu family, Zhu Bin, stared and cursed: "These bastards dare to touch Daxia's territory. I will lead my troops to attack them immediately! Damn it, hundreds of years ago, they were all vassals of our old Zhu family. Now you actually dare to eat our heads and rebel against them!"
The old man in Chinese tunic suit smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Zhu, don't be impulsive..."
Dongfang Dekang said: "As for the matter of conquering the lost territory, please give me some time. I have dispatched capable men to investigate the truth behind the matter in detail. Before obtaining accurate and reliable information, do not rashly let people enter the occupied areas. This It’s a very dangerous thing.”
Just as the old man in Chinese tunic suit was about to speak, Chen Kaizhi said directly: "Lao Kang, it's not that I don't trust you, but it has been proven that the monsters in the Demon Cave are no longer a threat. The whole world is busy cleaning up the monsters and regaining lost ground. We can't fall behind!"
"Now, the world is at the crossroads of changing times. If we don't catch up, we will be left behind by other countries, especially country M! We are already too far behind them, why don't we try our best to catch up? I believe everyone You don’t want to be lorded over by others, right?”
Li Guangrong said: "Old Chen, you can't say that. We must pursue it, but our national strength has been weakened by the monsters in the Demon Cave in recent years, and the population has plummeted from more than a billion to the current 200 million people. ...Coupled with the low birth rate and serious aging of the population, if people are moved to occupied areas, once the monster from the Demon Cave comes back, it will cause serious casualties. If the people are gone, there will be nothing!"
Zhu Bin also nodded in agreement: "Yes, there are indeed too few people. Now it is difficult to even recruit soldiers..."
Chen Kaizhi snorted and said: "You are too cautious. Do other countries have more people than us? Those small countries, with only tens of millions of people, have not shrunk like us!"
"Kai Zhi is right." Zhao Qinghe echoed: "If you want to claim territorial sovereignty, the best way is to let us Daxia people live on it! According to current international practice, land without people is unclaimed land. Anyone can occupy it. Once another country establishes a foothold on our land, it will not be so easy to take it back."
At the scene, the four families formed two camps, each holding their own opinions and arguing endlessly.
The old man in Chinese tunic suit pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, everyone, please stop arguing."
All four people stopped and looked at the old man in Mao suit.
"I decided to first send troops to regain the lost territory, guard the borders, and prevent foreign forces from coming in. At the same time, the country began to prepare for immigration relocation."
He looked at Dongfang Dekang and said: "Old Kang, I will give you ten days. If you can't produce any evidence of danger within ten days, I will order the immigrants to relocate."
Dongfang Dekang bowed and replied: "Yes."
"Okay, if everyone has nothing else to do, today's meeting ends here..."
"Leader, there is one more thing."
Chen Kaizhi raised his hand and asked to speak. After receiving permission, he slowly said: "Isn't it time to discuss who will take over after Lao Kang retires?"
…
After the video conference ended, Dongfang Dekang returned to his office. He was worried, dismissed his secretary, and sat alone in the dark room, contemplating and silent.
"I didn't expect them to move so fast."
Dongfang Dekang recalled that at the previous meeting, Chen Kaizhi proposed that Su Yuewen should succeed him as the next director of the National Security Bureau.
The result of the vote at that time was two votes in favor and two votes against. The final decision rested with the leader.
Although the leader did not decide on the spot, based on Dongfang Dekang's understanding of the leader, the leader was more inclined to Chen Kaizhi.
The Chen family's influence in Daxia is deeply entangled, penetrating into almost every corner of the country.
In addition, during the founding war, Chen Kaizhi took a bullet for the leader. The leader will never forget this life-saving feeling.
In addition, Su Yuewen is indeed a talent. Even if his character has problems, this does not deny his excellent performance at work.
Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, leaders will eventually agree to Chen Kaizhi's proposal.
Originally, Dongfang Dekang still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could help Xiang Xiaoqin win the position of director of the National Security Bureau.
It now appears that he was overly optimistic.
However, Dongfang Dekang was not a person who gave in easily. He decided to go to the leader in person and hand over a top-secret document at the same time.
This document will determine the final outcome.
After thinking about it, Dongfang Dekang picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Xiang Xiaoqin.
"Xiao Wang."
The secretary who had been dismissed before walked in and took the letter from Dongfang Dekang. He heard the moribund old man say: "Once something happens to me, you should give this letter to Section Chief Xiang Xiaoqin."
"yes."
…
As summer passes and autumn comes, the mountains and forests turn golden.
Three months have passed since the devil's cave monster fell into a deep sleep.
The scope of human activities began to gradually spread to the occupied areas, and large areas of occupied land returned to human hands.
Daxia, like other countries, also began to move a large number of people to areas originally occupied by monsters from the Demon Cave.
On the land that has been desolate for many years, forklifts, tower cranes, busy workers, and smiling faces are intertwined, bringing a sense of new life.
New cities are rising one after another, the economy is recovering, civilization is progressing, and mankind seems to be ushering in a new and great era.
The monsters in the Demon Cave are still sleeping, and the world in the Demon Realm has not changed. The adventurers are still trapped and cannot go to other levels of the Demon Realm.
As time goes by, fewer and fewer people enter the Demon Realm.
After all, the demon cave monsters have been silenced, the world is no longer a threat, and the demand for strong men in the demon realm has gradually decreased.
As a result, many people began to leave the demonic realm, return to the real world, and welcome a new life.
However, there are still some people who firmly stay in the Demon Realm and continue to practice.
One Arrow Pierced the Heart led a group of archer brothers to fight tenaciously against the orc warriors in the tenth level of the demonic realm.
They still have one belief in their hearts, that is, after becoming stronger, they will return to their president!
In the thirteenth level of the Demonic Realm, the giant god, Yiye Zhiqiu, the little princess Qian and the irritable Dragon King and others walked to a secluded corner.
There, a beautiful figure was practicing his sword skills hard.
Sweating profusely, tired and sore.
But she still gritted her teeth and persisted, just because of the obsession in her heart.
"Sister! I must find you!"
…
In a basement somewhere, a woman who looked somewhat similar to Liu Yueying raised her head as if she was aware of it, and looked blankly out of the iron window.
Then she shook her head mockingly, feeling amused at her own delusion.
The door suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked in.
The woman immediately stood up and greeted him with a happy smile on her face. The man who came back was the love of her life.
The man also smiled, opened his arms, and hugged the woman into his arms. The sunshine outside shone on his face.
Yang Nuo stroked the woman's hair and said softly: "My dear, there is something I need your help with..."
In Tianfeng City, a few hundred kilometers away from this basement, the sycamore trees on the streets were losing their leaves.
Wang Yang, wearing a suit and tie, was standing on the roadside making calls to customers.
After graduation, he was not admitted to a liberal arts university because of his unsatisfactory grades.
In desperation, he had no choice but to go home, inherit a million-dollar fortune, and take care of his father's business.
Several students wearing high school uniforms passed by Wang Yang, which brought back memories of his high school days.
The fifth high school, in the former classroom, welcomed a new student.
The head teacher, Liu Wei, was giving a serious lecture. The sunlight poured in from the window and shone on the young and energetic faces.
At a girls' school half a city away, Zhang Feng, who had just finished writing an article, put down her pen and picked up her phone to send a message to her brother.
But after thinking about it, she put her phone down again. She knew that her brother must be practicing hard now and could not be disturbed.
A figure ran into the classroom, and Lu Panpan excitedly told Zhang Feng the good news. She had just been hired by a small company, and she would be able to support her family without relying on her brother.
The two girls hugged each other and ran out of the classroom happily.
Above them, a plane flew across the sky, heading to a distant country called freedom.
Chen Feng walked out of the apartment, neatly dressed and with a confident expression on his face, and entered a black car at the door.
Fatty Ah Fu showed a flattering smile to Chen Feng in the rear mirror. The car started and drove towards a black building in the distance.
There, Duncan Austin, a fifth-level demon realm expert, was waiting for him.
His eyes returned to Daxia Kingdom and Bohai Bay.
Xiang Xiaoqin stood on a marine research ship, looking at the monitor screen, his face became very solemn.
In the deep sea hundreds of meters away, a remote-controlled unmanned submarine is swimming on the bottom of the sea.
The beam emitted by the submarine flickered on and off in the dim seabed. In the light and shadow, densely packed figures huddled on the seabed.
It can be vaguely distinguished that these are monsters from the Demon Cave!
The camera zooms out, and the monsters are endless as far as the eye can see, as if there is no end!
Xiang Xiaoqin took a deep breath and picked up the phone: "Get through to the director. I have an important report!"
Tianjing City, the top floor of the National Security Bureau building, the director's office.
Dongfang Dekang looked solemn after listening to Xiang Xiaoqin's report.
In contrast, Su Yuewen's proud smile was on his face.
He had just received a promise from Chen Kaizhi that he must be the director of the National Security Bureau.
At this moment, he was very proud of himself, looking at the bust of Dongfang Dekang in the center of the hall, and sneered in his heart.
"It will definitely be me hanging there in the future!"
A group of geese flew over the National Security Bureau building, lined up in a row, and flew south.
On the ground, in a green campus, Tang Qiaowei and Sun Ruotong were walking side by side. The weeping willows on both sides of the road were blown by the wind and raised their branches, caressing the hair of the two young girls. The laughter like bells was scattered on the golden pavement. Fallen leaves on the path.
Facing them, a boy ran over and greeted Tang Qiaowei and Sun Ruotong with a big smile.
Surprisingly, there was an egg spinning around the boy. Tang Qiaowei playfully grabbed it, causing the boy to scream.
Farther away, a boy named Shang Qiuyu was sitting in the library, concentrating on a thick book, when suddenly a message entered his mobile phone.
"Xiao Yu, come drink with the teacher!"
Shang Qiuyu directly deleted the message, adjusted his glasses, and moved his gaze to the clean and clear sky outside the window. The eyes behind his glasses were cold and deep.
In the basement of the teaching building.
At the end of the dim corridor, in a room numbered 21, Zhang Ze sank under five meters of water, closing his eyes and breathing, as motionless as a stone statue.
Within his body, the dragon's breath method was running very fast.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at the huge stone ball opposite.
Stretch out your hands, left yin and right yang.
Use the force to break the water and make the rapids vibrate!
A powerful force suddenly hit the stone ball!
boom!
The stone ball moved rapidly in the water, and the next moment it suddenly hit the edge of the pool, stirring up a water column several meters high!
"Phew...this is the sixty-ninth time!"
Zhang Ze stuck his head out of the water and shook off the water drops on his head.
A towel was handed to him, and he raised his head to look at the girl, with a smile on his lips.
In the infinite universe, the blue planet rotates slowly, like the gears of fate.
And outside the planet, a huge black shadow slowly enveloped the planet without warning...
The first part is completed.
