This endless world

——Broken Dome, Commander's Office.

When Mori Mako and Cai Tiantong walked into this simply decorated office with a strong military style, Marshal Pantecost, who was sitting behind the desk, was leaning back in a somewhat casual manner, looking at the wall next to him, as if thinking about some extraordinary strategic plan.

However, from the absent-minded expression on Marshal Pantecost's face, it can be judged that the former PPDC Supreme Commander and current Earth Defense Corps (EDC) leader is not actually thinking deeply, but simply tracing past memories in his mind.

Compared with Cai Tiantong, who had a hesitant expression of "maybe we should wait a little bit", Mori Mako, as an adopted daughter and adjutant, has a closer relationship with Marshal Pantecost. She was not affected by the atmosphere around her, but walked straight to the front, lightly placed the neatly stacked report documents in her hand on the table, and reminded softly with the necessary respect in her soft voice: "Marshal, this is the report for this month, please take a look."

"... Well, thank you for your hard work."

Marshal Pantikost came back to his senses after hearing what Mori Mako said. The man rubbed his temples, picked up a document, looked at the dense text on it, and then decisively put it down, choosing to directly ask the adjutant in front of him: "What is the general situation? Is there anything worth noting?"

"It's still the same. According to the detection and data analysis reports of relevant instruments, since the sacred tree in the Pacific Ocean was planted, the pollution in the whole world has gradually subsided, and the ecological environment has been developing in a good direction."

Mori Mako was obviously familiar with her adoptive father's habit of not liking to read reports, and immediately answered skillfully: "The public opinion environment is still the same as before, and the voices on the Internet about reducing EDC funds still occur from time to time. , As for the problem you are worried about, it is getting worse. "

"... I knew that the useless politicians were still stubborn."

Marshal Pantikost sneered and sank his back into the soft office chair: "During the war, they retreated across the board, but after the war, they were faster than each other in dividing the fruits of victory. Now they want to stretch their claws to me... Cai Tiantong, you should be here to report the relevant matters to me, right?"

"That's right, Marshal, last month our EDC database encountered 7,862 intrusions, 99% of which were from various governments." Cai Tiantong responded immediately.

"What about the exposed information?" Marshal Pantikost asked, "I remember that our database seemed to have been hacked several times during the PPDC period."

"That's a thing of the past. The CX-2 firewall that I developed based on the data left by Colonel Chu Xuan will never reveal any secrets. It is absolutely foolproof."

Seeing Marshal Pantikost mention the past, Cai Tiantong, whose hair was much thinner than when Yang Yun and others first met, straightened his chest and said proudly, "Not only that, we also locked all the personal information of the attackers, including their behind-the-scenes instigators, through reverse tracking."

"Now, our advanced firewall has far surpassed the old security system of the PPDC period. In front of the CX-2, let alone those technologies and wisdom are far inferior to my pus, even if Colonel Chu Xuan comes in person, I'm afraid..."

"Ding-"

As soon as the voice fell, the originally warm light in the office went dark.

Just when Cai Tiantong was at a loss, and Marshal Pantikost and Mori Mako both put their hands on their waists at the same time, ready for battle, a young man wearing glasses suddenly appeared on the big screen on the side.

——That was Chu Xuan.

After seeing Chu Xuan, Mori Mako and Marshal Pantikost both breathed a sigh of relief, and the latter glared at Cai Tiantong fiercely.

——Is this what you call "infallible"?

In Pantikost's speechless and disappointed eyes, Cai Tiantong, who had just made a bold statement, was sweating profusely and showed a wronged expression... Obviously, it was just bragging. Who would have thought that Colonel Chu Xuan, who had not been seen for a long time, actually appeared and slapped him in the face?

With a look that said "I'll settle accounts with you later", Marshal Pantecost turned to look at Chu Xuan's face on the screen, stood up from his chair, and saluted him: "Long time no see, Colonel Chu Xuan."

Although they haven't seen each other for several years, Marshal Pantecost's gratitude to the Zhongzhou team has not diminished at all. Because only he, who first contacted the Zhongzhou team, knew the whole truth behind it... Whether it was killing monsters, repelling alien invasions, or the development of technology, and the giant tree in the Pacific Ocean, they were all directly related to the Zhongzhou team.

"Well, I don't like to talk nonsense."

Facing Marshal Pantecost's salute, Chu Xuan also returned a salute and said: "Danger is coming, and outsiders are eyeing your world. Please notify the top government officials around the world. I need to announce something."

"I knew it... But when you showed up, I was already mentally prepared."

Marshal Pantikost sighed, looked at Chu Xuan on the screen, and said seriously: "But, in fact, you don't need me at all, right? After all, my office is the entire EDC, and it is also the place with the highest security index in the world... Since you can hack into my system without any obstacles, then it should be a piece of cake to scare those fat politicians to death?"

"We are always outsiders."

Chu Xuan did not react to Marshal Pantikost's words at all, but continued to say calmly: "Through the transition through you, Marshal, it will be easier for them to accept it."

After saying this, Chu Xuan's face disappeared from the screen, and the next moment, the lights were turned on again, reflecting only Marshal Pantikost's black face.

"Heh... let us participate a little."

After a long while, Marshal Pantecost laughed: "Our world is really full of disasters."

"Marshal..."

"What's wrong, are you afraid of the upcoming disaster? Or do you think I will be unhappy?"

Marshal Pantecost looked at the worried Mori Mako and Cai Tiantong, smiled and patted their shoulders: "From my point of view, this is actually a good thing... because for now, they are still willing to stand on the old position to help us, rather than ignoring our will as a superior 'savior' , and even took over our command completely. "

"It is obviously a level that completely surpasses our world, but it gives us full respect..." Cai Tiantong scratched his head and remembered the comics he had read: "It sounds like those superheroes."

"Maybe, this is our world after all."

Marshal Panticost smiled and looked at the combat suit hanging on the wall that he had been staring at since just now. At the same time, he touched his heart that had started beating violently again without knowing when: "And the destination of the soldiers..."

"Sure enough, it should be the battlefield." (End of this chapter)
