Not a god

Chapter 175: Seconds, Let's Go

The news channel was broadcasting live when the picture suddenly became chaotic.

The people carrying the cameras were also sweating profusely at this time. The leaders came outside from the machine room and the cameras also came outside.

Some people were shouting that they needed to evacuate now, some were walking in the distance, some were shouting loudly, and some were saying that there was no need to evacuate, it just happened that the evil corpse appeared here.

"There's no need to be afraid. This is the normal alarm of the Dream Monitoring Tower. Usually, the local residents will be notified immediately after the alarm. We just need to evacuate in time and wait for the Pastoral Guard or..."

"Commander He, Commander He, we..."

"Comrades from the Mushou Division have already rushed to the scene as soon as possible..."

Instantly, the microphones were cut off, and a CCTV reporter familiar to the audience appeared on screen. Li Bingbing, nicknamed the nation's first love by netizens because of her beauty, faced the camera and reported calmly:
"The Dream Monitoring Tower has been in use for some time. It reports on cracks and evil corpses in the dreamland every day. Coincidentally, today is..."

In the station behind her, it was dark and there was the roar of artillery fire... Not really, but the station space, which had been peaceful and quiet, was indeed suddenly plunged into chaos.

The source of the chaos was a few monsters as tall as two stories high.

These monsters look like brown bears, tigers, giraffes, and an owl.

But this is not a team-building activity at the zoo. These monsters in animal form are more like the staff in the mall wearing suits. They should be... human faces can already be seen emerging from the monsters' stomachs.

However, the originally cute doll suits now have a horrifying style, like beasts in a dark fairy tale, full of evil. Each one of them is shouting things like “I don’t want to distribute flyers” and “Why are you wearing such a thick suit in such a hot day?”

All four of them were second-level evil skeletons, with thick skin and strong bodies, and were extremely swift. Steel was like plastic in front of them, and street lights were pulled up like weeds.

The giant bear roared and waved its claws to destroy the signal tower.

"when--"

A brave man from the Mu Shou Si stepped forward to block the way. Chen Xi took a look and saw that it was him, the model worker Ye Fan.

Immediately, the rest of the Shepherds also rushed forward and started fighting with the remaining evil corpses.

Li Bingbing faced the camera and showed her professionalism. Even though there was a battlefield behind her, she was not panicked at all: "We in the Mushou Division are well-trained and well prepared for this emergency. We can see here..."

Behind him was the battlefield. Even though there was no artillery fire, there were still flying rocks and meteors, and the wind was howling. There was danger at every moment here.

The leaders were all a little panicked. They should evacuate, but the damn thing was that this was being broadcast live. If they left in disgrace, their future careers would be over... Even if normal people encountered this situation, they should evacuate quickly and run as far as possible. They couldn't just leave in disgrace.

Image, image is important! This is not just about saving face. For officials like them, image is sometimes more important than life.

Unless Chief He takes the initiative to propose evacuation.

But look at Chief He, he remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis. He even took the initiative to walk in front of the camera, chatted with the little host, commented on the camera, and then gave a few shots of the monsters at the back as if he was watching a fight between cats and dogs at home, and praised the young soldiers.

Chief He seemed to be not afraid at all. After showing his face in front of the camera, he started chatting with Director Chen who was walking back from somewhere...Huh? Wasn't Director Chen following them all the time? When did he leave?
And what's going on with Director Chen? He was holding a person in his hand, an unconscious man in a sweatshirt, and he was dragged all the way back by him.

"Is this someone from the Mother Goddess Church?" the chief asked Chen Xi.

He glanced at the leader, a little old man with a head full of silver hair but in good spirits.

Just one look at Chen Xi and he was sure that this person should be from Mr. Guan's faction.

The evil corpse needs a crack to enter the reality. From the monitoring and early warning to the complete formation of the dreamland crack, there should be sufficient time for evacuation, instead of appearing suddenly like now. It is obvious that there are bad guys who are trying to sabotage it, and it was this Xiaosangjun who did it.

Chen Xi just went to capture this guy.

"Well, this guy must be the one behind this. I'll hand him over to the Mushou Division for questioning later."

"Safety issues cannot be taken lightly..."

"I didn't think well enough."

"Haha, you can't blame yourself for all the problems..."

The two chatted for a while, and Chief He remained peaceful from beginning to end.

He didn't talk much in front of people just now, and although every sentence sounded like chatting, there was actually something behind his words, so that Situ was confused every time and wanted him to kick him.

Now he was like an old man chatting normally, and asked Chen Xi if he could deal with these evil corpses, and if not, he would run away.

“……”Very down to earth.

Chief He probably knew something about his background, maybe he got it from Mr. Guan or maybe he got it from the Mu Shou Division, but it didn't matter. Although he didn't like to show off and didn't like to be noticed, he never had any thoughts of hiding anything.

The imaginary enemy all along has been the evil corpse of Dreamland. Even though he knew about the existence of the Mother God Cult, he was not fully prepared to deal with it. As the person in charge here, it was indeed his dereliction of duty... Although there have been no casualties so far, there has always been trouble, and it does not look good on the surface.

"..."

"Quick, stop that evil creature!"

While Chen Xi was chatting with Chief He, the giant owl flapped its wings to break away from the siege of Mu Shousi and Situ and swooped down towards the leaders nearby.

The howling wind swept across the station lawn, blowing up flying rocks. It swooped down from a low altitude, and its giant wings of more than ten meters smashed several buses and green trees along the way into pieces. Its iron claws touched the ground, first producing sparks, and then the entire concrete road surface was plowed with two deep marks that spread all the way like a foam board.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if an armed tank blocked the front, it would not be much more difficult than smashing a piece of tofu.

Needless to say, those leaders fled in all directions. It was certainly not their fault, as they should have evacuated earlier.

Image, what image? If you don’t run away, you will be dead!

However, Chief He remained calm and composed.

The photographers ran away carrying their equipment. Li Bingbing thought that the old leader had difficulty walking and couldn't run. She was about to go over to help him, but she found that the old leader had a calm expression. He didn't look like he was ready to die, but instead... he was confident?
"Certainly--"

She heard the man from the Youth League standing nearby speak softly.

In an instant, the wind stopped and the waves were calm.

The ferocious giant bird floating in the air was fixed in the air without moving, the distance was so close.

Only a few meters away, the giant bird stopped within a few meters of her, its dark red pupils burning like a furnace, its bronze feathers barbed like spears, rotten meat splattered as its iron beak opened and closed, and a human face was on its abdomen, staring at her.

A soft sound rang in her ears again, this time it seemed to be a syllable similar to "fire". She heard it, just like before, it was made by the young man.

At the same time, on the body of the frozen giant beast, the iron feathers that were indestructible by a knife suddenly caught fire, and the flames shot up into the sky. Although it was so close, the temperature could not be felt. It was just that at the moment the flames started, the giant bird frozen in the air fell into a hot pot, sizzling and quickly melting.

A monster that required two or three shepherds to restrain was turned into ashes in an instant in front of her!

"Chief He, it's too dangerous here. Let's evacuate back to the machine room first and leave this to the specialists."

"Yes, let's go..."

Li Bingbing: "" She looked back frequently. Not only her, but even the masters of the Mushou Division who were fighting with the evil corpse over there were also confused.

But now is not the time to be distracted. Although I don’t know what happened, I guess the leader has some magical life-saving methods.

Just like what happened in the market a while ago, there was an evil creature capable of killing third-level creatures.

A second-level evil skeleton was killed instantly. Such an item must be precious. Didn’t they see that the leader ran away after using it? It was their negligence just now. If they let another one escape, it would be a real disaster.

Of course, some people know that the situation is not what others think.

One of them was Ye Fan, who was becoming more and more courageous in the battle. He glanced at the person next to the leader and knew that it was Director Chen who took action. At the same time, he felt angry in his heart, thinking that it was because he was not strong enough that he had to take action himself.

"Go help others first, I'll just have to deal with this alone!"

There is another one, that is Situ who keeps drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

There is no doubt that it must be another magic weapon of Brother Chen. He couldn't help but sigh that Brother Chen has so many treasures on him.

……

Although it is a live broadcast, it is definitely not a real-time broadcast. For outdoor scenes like this, there will be a 30-second buffer to filter out sudden shots.

Just before the giant bird pounced on the leader, the live broadcast footage was handed over to the host in the studio for impromptu performance. Anyway, no one was allowed to see what was happening on the scene.

Ms. Jiang was a little anxious. She wanted to call but was afraid of causing trouble. After waiting for about ten minutes, the live broadcast suddenly switched back to the scene.

"There is a live picture..."

Everyone gathered in the dance studio.

The screen returns to the computer room, where reporter Li Bingbing calmly explains how the incident was handled perfectly without any casualties. Looking forward to the future,

"It's Daddy! Grandma, look, I see Daddy again!"

All the young ladies in the room opened their big eyes wide and looked at Jiang Piaoliang's rich son-in-law.

The scene suddenly became chaotic just now, and I didn't pay much attention to him. Now looking at him again, he is really a handsome man. And looking at his posture, he doesn't look like a foil next to a group of leaders. This aura, this position, this posture...

Finally, Chief He patted him on the shoulder, nodded, and praised his efforts and achievements in leading the team. The tone of his voice was definitely not praising young people, but more like encouraging a close junior.

This is a big deal. Anyone with a keen business sense can see that this is a signal. Jiang Cailian is the daughter of a businessman. Her father has watched the news broadcast since she was a child. If he can't see it, he will watch the replay. So she does have some business acumen.

The Youth Federation has indeed been gaining momentum recently, but as an emerging industry, unlike previous commercial social groups, it is inevitable that it will have conflicts of interest with old companies and chambers of commerce in some commercial activities, and will produce various frictions. Even some friendly businesses are unwilling to give up such an opportunity to the Youth Federation even if they cannot do well themselves. And the most important thing is that the Youth Federation is going to make big moves in the near future.

Currently, gaming guilds are spread all over the country, regardless of small and medium-sized guilds. There are a total of three large guilds in Jiangcheng, and there are about several hundred large guilds in the country. Among them, Qinglian is the only gaming guild in Jiangcheng, and the only one in the country, that is not supported by the forces of destiny from the old era.

The reason why Jiangda Alliance can be successful is based on one miracle after another. In other places, even if there are geniuses who are not inferior to Su Jiuer, no one can successfully replicate the success of Jiangda Alliance. Now, Jiangda Alliance has changed its name to Youth League. Isn't it preparing to set up branches across the country? This will undoubtedly affect the interests of many people of destiny in the old era, and will undoubtedly face difficulties and obstacles.

But at this moment, these few seconds of footage from CCTV News are probably enough for a lot of people to rack their brains to interpret.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared that this kid dared to do such a dangerous job..."

Jiang Cailian looked at the middle-aged woman with an expressionless face. The entertainment industry is the back garden of capital. As I said before, you have these resources. You say that you are an old lady who failed in her dream of pursuing the entertainment industry and came back to be a body shape instructor?

I'm fainting. I'm about to faint!
……

When I got home in the evening, it was already past ten o'clock. The mess this afternoon was actually cleaned up very quickly, but I had to accompany my boss to dinner in the evening. Chen Xi now felt like a bit of a social animal.

As soon as he stepped into the door, a little thing jumped on him, shouting that she saw her father today and kept calling him, but he didn't hear her.

Chen Xi took off his shoes, picked her up, and wondered when she saw him. After asking, he found out that she saw it on her cell phone.

Entering the living room, Yan Di was sitting in front of the sofa, wearing a vest on his upper body and hot pants on his lower body, with his long white legs stretched out and his left foot resting on top of his right foot.

In front of her was a lazy desk, a notebook that had been pulled out from somewhere, and a dictionary.

Chen Xi was curious: "What are you doing?"

Emperor Yan looked at him cautiously, and when he saw him coming, he reached out to cover the book on the table.

“I’m learning.”

"study?"

"I think there's a very good saying here, 'You learn until you die'. I can't just stop learning because I'm over a thousand years old. That's not right."

"Is it because you didn't understand the subtitles when you watched the movie today?"

"..." She felt a little suffocated. This man seemed to have the ability to read minds. She had no choice but to concentrate on reading and ignored him.

Chen Xi asked: "Where did you find this dictionary?"

"Wanwan gave it to me. She said this book is enough for me to learn to read."

She lowered her head and carefully flipped through the dictionary. Where was she just looking at? She felt that she had learned a lot of words today.

Chen Xi asked: "How can you recognize it like this? Do you know how to read these words?"

"know."

"what?"

She looked at the book without raising her head and said, "Wanwan said that the first 149 words are pronounced as ai. After I finish learning these 149 words, she will teach me the rest."

"..."

How could anyone recognize words like this?

Although Jiang Wanwan did not lie to her, it was obvious that she had no intention of teaching her seriously.

Looking at the child's focused look, Chen Xi suddenly thought that it was almost time for Yiyi to learn to read.

After all, Chen Yi has more than a thousand years of memory. She is actually very smart. Now, less than two years old, she shows the intelligence of a senior kindergarten student, or even a senior class, which is half a step away from preschool.

Teaching one is the same as teaching two. Chen Xi thought it would be better to just teach them both.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the little one in his arms and smiled with fatherly love.

“Huh?!”

However, when seeing her father's gaze, Chen Yi was alert enough to sense a slight...uncomfortable feeling!
