The two of them rested early on the night of arrival in Beijing, and got up the next day and began to prepare materials for the afternoon meeting. In Li Zhen's opinion, this meeting was just a supporting role - whether it was to satisfy the curiosity of the big man or to take a walk, he, a survivor who had personally experienced the battle, had to attend.

It was only after looking at the series of victim lists and word counts on the information that he realized how necessary he was to visit here in person.

Names and numbers are nothing more than symbols. And those people are dealing with a large number of symbols. For officials who rule a huge country with a population of more than one billion, the casualties of hundreds of people may be just a small number. If they had not experienced such a bloody and terrifying scene in person, they would never have had an intuitive understanding of the situation at that time.

The significance of his appearance is to deepen the impression of those people.

The meeting location is Yingtai, Nanhai.

Hundreds of years ago, this place was the residence of ancient emperors, but after the constitution was established, the emperor only retained the two palaces, Ganqing, Jiaotai, Kunning, Yangxin, and surrounding buildings. However, even so, many people still believe that the royal family's expenses are too high and waste taxes from taxpayers.

Li Zhen didn't have much thought about this in the past, but when he got off the car and saw the magnificent imperial city building for the first time, he felt sincerely how much money and energy it would take to maintain such a building community.

Although he only looked at the towering palaces covered with golden glazed tiles from a distance, he was still robbed of their momentum from the bottom of his heart, so he was stunned outside the car door for two seconds before following the guards and continuing to move forward under the urging of Dai Bingcheng.

Dai Bingcheng was naturally used to this kind of scene, so he asked Li Zhen casually: "What do you think of seeing you for the first time?"

"I wonder how much it will cost to the emperor's family before the constitution is established." Li Zhen sighed slightly, "I felt very luxurious when I saw Ying Gong's villa, but compared with the emperor..."

Dai Bingcheng smiled. As he walked, he pointed to the surrounding buildings with red walls and glazed tiles, the ingenious garden scenery, and the picturesque landscape pavilions: "Don't you know? I still belong to the Zhu family."

He gestured again: "This entire Forbidden City is actually the private property of the Zhu family."

"Huh? Didn't the emperor now only has two palaces and two palaces?" Li Zhen was a little surprised, "Are these not the property of the imperial government?"

"So the emperor was a little aggrieved." Dai Bingcheng smiled, "This place is a office area rented by the royal family to the imperial government. The rent is the daily expenses of the royal family. After all, I had to make a good start, saying that I wanted to establish a constitution to protect my personal property, so the emperor's property was of course a private property, so I rented it."

"This is the first time I know this." Li Zhen sighed, "When I look at it, I... the richest man in the world are all unworthy of his name. If this land, together with the buildings above, is sold..."

The two laughed together, but the two guards walking in front of them were still expressionless - they just didn't know what they would feel when they heard someone talking about the Zhu family like this.

This area near Yingtai, Nanhai is the location of the highest authority of the Empire. Although it is the Spring Festival now, you can occasionally see staff passing by quickly. In the past, Li Zhen thought the working environment of the Secret Service Office was good, but when he came here, he knew what it was really good. They spent nearly five minutes passing through a green space, turning a path covered by silver weeping willows, passing through the offices of two ministerial-level administrative departments, and finally walking on a path surrounded by white marble railings.

It took a dozen minutes to reach the venue, but suddenly a person came over a fork in the road.

This person is obviously different from the government employees I had seen before, so he attracted Li Zhen's attention as soon as he appeared. He looked quite young, wearing a white tweed coat, a pair of frosted brown cowhide shoes, a pair of brown glasses on his face, and a scarf around his neck. This kind of outfit can be seen everywhere on Yanjing Street, and it is a little fresh and literary style. But now it is surprising that Li Zhen is in the South China Sea.

However, what was even more surprising was that the man followed him together as they passed by and walked to Dai Bingcheng.

Then he smiled and said hello: "Long time no see."

Dai Bingcheng was obviously a little surprised, but he was not as surprised as Li Zhen - it seemed that he was familiar with this person before. He nodded after being slightly stunned: "Why are you here?"

"I heard you are coming, come and have a look." The man smiled gently and looked at Li Zhen again, "This one is..."

"This is Lieutenant Li Zhen, the executive officer of the Secret Service Office." Dai Bingcheng nodded to Li Zhen, "an old friend."

But before Dai Bingcheng spoke up to the other party's identity, the man handed his hand into his pocket and smiled at Li Zhen: "It's true that he is a hero and a handsome man. I am an old friend of your director, and I'm very happy to see you."

Li Zhen thought for a while and showed a smile on his face: "Good luck, glad luck luck."

Then he stopped talking. Because he noticed one thing - Dai Bingcheng used "you" when talking to the other party. He only heard Dai Bingcheng use this word in Jinghu Villa - the corresponding official. Even when talking to Ying Zhaoran, he used the word "you".

The person next to him seems not as old as Ying Xuanran. To be more, it can be regarded as thirty-three or four years old, but to be younger, it is not impossible to be twenty-three or four years old. At this age, he looks like he is walking in his own garden and walks to the two of them. The two guards in front say nothing...

He thought about it and his heart jumped slightly.

So he looked at the other person with his afterglow without a trace - it was somewhat similar.

The man walked a few more steps with Dai Bingcheng and nodded: "You are about to arrive. Then I will say goodbye."

He glanced at Li Zhen again, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I hope I will have a chance to see you."

Before the two of them could reply, he turned around and walked to another path.

Seeing that he had walked away, Li Zhencai frowned and asked in a low voice: "That person won't be..."

"Zhu Zhaoxu." Dai Bingcheng replied briefly.

"Ha." Li Zhen took a deep breath, "I really didn't expect it."

But he walked over so blindly and said, "It turns out that he is a boy from a hero"? He also heard this tone once when he was in Jinghu Villa. He spoke at that time, Ying Xuanran. But after all, the other party was Pingyang Zhishi, so it is reasonable to know that his rumors are. However, this person... is really a bit far away from him, right?

It is hard for him to ask Dai Bingcheng about this kind of thing - otherwise it will make people feel a little strange. Maybe he is just just greeting his old friends and then being polite to him?

Li Zhen was thinking a lot in his mind, but he didn't notice the slightly strange look on Dai Bingcheng's face beside him. After walking for a while, the guard in front stopped in front of a golden glass-tiled screen wall: "You two, you'll be there. Just go straight in."

Behind the screen wall is a hall. It looks ancient, but the interior is full of modern office facilities - this is the venue this time. Dai Bingcheng glanced at Li Zhen: "Are you ready?"

Li Zhen nodded.

The two of them walked around the screen wall from the other side, and then saw the plaque at the main entrance of the hall: Ziguang Pavilion.

Go deep into the hall along the long corridor and you will find that this building is much larger than what you see outside. There are rooms of all sizes on both sides of the corridor, and signs of various departments on the doors. Some Li Zhen has heard of it, others have never heard of it. There are two worlds inside and outside, and it looks like a high-end office building. Although ancient landscape calligraphy and paintings and exquisite ornaments can be seen occasionally, it is very different from what this building looked like hundreds of years ago.

As the number of people gradually increased, some staff members ran back and forth with a serious expression, passing by the corridor, full of a tense and solemn atmosphere. The two of them passed the two access control verification with their own badges and finally arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.

This venue is a common ring-shaped conference table. There are two rows of seats behind the seats, which should be prepared for the attendees. It seems that they came earlier, and only a few people sat scattered in the conference room. The "important figures" with famous brands on the table did not arrive, and Dai Bingcheng was the first participant to come in with a "famous and surname".

Li Zhen sat down behind Dai Bingcheng and looked at his watch. It was 2:45 pm now, and there were still fifteen minutes before the meeting began.

This is Nanhai. After sitting down, he sighed slightly in his heart - he didn't expect that one day I would come here.

Five minutes later, another person walked into the conference room. It was an old man wearing a black uniform with a military cap under his ribs, revealing his white hair. Dai Bingcheng immediately stood up after he entered the door and stood up as a javelin. Li Zhen only glanced at his shoulder, and immediately stood up, stretching his face into a playing card.

There were two purple hearts on the old man’s shoulders shining brightly - this was a lieutenant general.

The army's generals' dress should be dark green, but his military dress is black - this is a uniform belonging to the Special Affairs Office system, and there is only one lieutenant general in this system.

Your Excellency the Chief.

The two saluted the chief. After returning the gift, the old man looked at them seriously, stopped at Li Zhen for a moment, and nodded: "Sit down."

But they still sat back to their original position after the old man sat down. Dai Bingcheng straightened his waist like Li Zhen. It seemed that when the director of the Security Bureau sat next to his boss, he was a little nervous and nervous, just like Li Zhen at the time.

So Li Zhen secretly rejoiced that he was just attending, so he didn't need to sit next to a general like Director Dai, and he seemed a little uncomfortable even breathing.

After the general manager entered the venue, the others walked into the room one after another as if they had made an appointment. So the conference room became lively - of course ordinary people would not chat and laugh on such occasions. Only the big guys would nod and greet each other, while their entourage filled the two rows of seats behind the conference table, and the temperature in the room seemed to have increased a little.

However, Li Zhen noticed that most of the people were sitting opposite them. The side of him was a little deserted, with only five seats on the table. Two belonged to the Special Affairs Office, and three others were wearing army uniforms, one major general, one colonel, and one without a title.

Finally, a bald middle-aged man walked to the main seat, nodded to everyone on both sides, and cleared his throat: "Everyone, the meeting has begun."

In fact, Li Zhen has always been attending this meeting with a slightly curious attitude. No matter what, he never thought that he would participate in a meeting of this level before, so he really wanted to see what the big guys who had only "heard" in this situation were all manifestations.

But now he was a little disappointed because, except for their identities, he would not talk about his current situation...the current situation is similar to when he was in a class meeting before.

Some people were worried, some were numb, and some seemed indifferent. There were about twenty people with names and surnames on the conference table, and there were nearly thirty entourages behind them - fifty people with different expressions, and they were completely different from the atmosphere he had imagined before.

A middle-aged man sat next to him, as if he was the attendant of the attendee without a title. The man smiled at him when he sat next to Li Zhen, then put his electronic notepad on his knees, staring at the data on it and stopped talking. At first, Li Zhen felt that this person was studying the data, but he did not click on the page until the meeting host took five minutes to open the show.

Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at the display screen on his knee.

I found that what is shown above is... "2015 XX Force Annual Work Summary, Logistics Department Annual Financial Plan".

This is completely inconsistent with the content of this meeting.

He frowned. He was not sure whether he was too nervous or whether the things they were discussing were indeed nothing big.

At this time, the meeting began to get to the point. The congregation members looked at several pictures of the data displayed on the big screen on the other end of the room, and heard the host introduce the relevant situation of the Shennongjia incident, and fell silent for a short time. Only then did Li Zhen find out the identity of the person who presided over the meeting - Assistant Minister of the Imperial Justice.

The next sentence from the assistant made Li Zhen realize that this meeting might not be as simple as he thought.

Because what he said was: "For the types, let's first listen to Major Dai Bingcheng's opinions. Please focus on the incident on the Shennongjia incident on the day, and explain the casualties in the northern base of the Special Affairs Office."

Li Zhen could be seen from the side, and Dai Bingcheng was slightly stunned.

It was a bit inconsistent to preside over the meeting by the Assistant Minister of Justice, but he said such words at this time - no matter how you look at it, it seems like you are seeking a crime.

Dai Bingcheng looked at the general manager around him, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "The relevant situations are explained in detail in the meeting materials in front of you. What I want to focus on explaining the battle situation that day. However, before this, please read a video material first."

He nodded then, and the staff on the other side of the room played a video on the big screen.

It was a battle scene with Adam.

This video data comes from the micro camera on the executive's tactical helmet at that time, and the effect is not very good. But even though the picture is blurry, people can still recognize the huge figure in the middle of the venue. It is wrapped in a ball of fire, and the image trembles continuously due to the action of the photographer - this is the scene when the two sides first contacted. Adam blocked the flames with his own ability, stopped the warhead, and then walked towards one of the force field generators step by step.

Li Zhen still remembers the shock that this kind of thing brought to people today. However, now sitting in the conference room to watch this image, it is difficult to feel the despair and fear of that day.

Because the picture is not very "exciting".

There was only one enemy and he was still walking very slowly. The powerful firepower kept bombarding it. From the perspective of the bystander, this guy had already taken the advantage and seemed to fall into depressedness in the next moment. After the scene changed, someone jumped out from behind the front and tried to raid Adam behind him.

When he saw this, Li Zhen pursed his lips.

This video data is also available on his own computer, but he has never seen it before.

It was just because of one thing: those people on that day were gone. After the battle, he didn't feel much touched himself - in fact, he was in a very abnormal state at that time: the excitement after the disaster, the throbbing after the body was reshaping, and some restless manic emotions in his consciousness. All the factors made him get along with people with an extremely vague and anxious mood at that time.

It was not until a while later that those wills that did not belong to him were gradually suppressed that he slowly found himself again and realized when he walked through one empty office after another...

Some people have completely disappeared from this world.

At this moment, on that screen, the former comrades-in-arms were still bravely charging against the species, caring for their wishes and wearing armor, setting the way for the comrades-in-arms with an unyielding momentum, and then suddenly ascended to the sky and fell heavily to the ground.

It was the care that had misunderstood myself, "rescued" myself at a dinner and said embarrassedly "sorry".

Then Adam's ability was activated, and a large piece of limbs splattered, the camera was covered with a blood-colored mark, and then it quickly rose and penetrated into the darkness. It seemed that the photographer's head was cut off.

Li Zhen lowered his head slightly. Then he heard the assistant minister say, "It's OK to come here. We've all seen it."

Li Zhen couldn't help but exert force. With a "click", a crack was pinched out of the mahogany handrail. The man next to him seemed to be startled, looked at the crack, looked at Li Zhen again, and turned his head over.

So Dai Bingcheng said in a deep voice: "Then as you can see, the species is very powerful. It has the ability to exceed the limits of human imagination and is all A-level psychic. We fought with such creatures for the first time. Although we had done enough preparations before, it and Chiyou later challenged human cognition time and again. The number of A-level executives in the northern base is small, and under the conditions that the southern base cannot cooperate..."
