Although Nie Chang was a witness, he was still very excited when he saw this scene again.
After half a minute, when everyone's mood calmed down, he continued, "Now, please let Chief Li Zhenguo speak for us!"
Warm applause rang out again.
Li Zhenguo walked to the microphone and slowly scanned the audience. His voice was calm and powerful, reaching every corner through the microphone:
"Comrades, friends!"
"The video just now allowed us to relive that hard-fought and glorious victory again."
"The significance of 'Dawn Operation' is not only that we destroyed an ordinary Nest, but also that it was like a dawn breaking through the long night, proving to us and the whole world that humans have the ability and determination to take back our homeland."
He paused slightly and looked at the viewing area. "This time, we Xia Kingdom initiated and established 'Blue Star Crisis Response Coalition', which received positive responses from many countries."
"This fully demonstrates that in the face of this crisis that affects the survival of the entire human civilization, unity and cooperation are our only correct choices. Only by abandoning our past grievances and working together can we gather the majestic power to overcome all difficulties."
Then, Li Zhenguo looked at the eight hundred young and excited faces in the audience, his voice full of expectation.
"The establishment of 'East Vanguard Training Camp' is a key step for us to move towards the future."
"Here, our best seeds will be gathered; here, our sharpest war blades will be forged; here, the hope and future of our civilization will be nurtured!"
"You." He paused briefly before continuing slowly, "You are the best selected from millions of people, and you carry the expectations of countless people."
"I hope you will cherish this hard-won opportunity, practice hard, have the courage to explore, help each other, and truly become the 'East Blade' that pierces the darkness in the future and become the cornerstone of protecting civilization."
Finally, his eyes turned to Lin Yi beside him, and his tone became particularly solemn.
"Here, I must mention one person in particular, Comrade Lin Yi."
All eyes in the audience instantly focused on Lin Yi.
"It was him who selflessly disclosed the Source Energy cultivation method at the beginning of the disaster, opening the door for us to evolve and strengthen our bodies; it was him who stepped forward at the critical moment to save Wild Tide and establish the victory of 'Dawn'."
"He is our well-deserved hero and a role model for all of you to learn from. It is a blessing for the country and you to have him serve as Chief Instructor in the training camp!"
The applause sounded like thunder and lasted for a long time.
Lin Yi stood up and saluted the audience and the podium.
Li Zhenguo raised his hand to signal for the applause to stop, and finally concluded. "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. But I believe that as long as we unite as one and work as one, we will be able to win the final victory. Thank you everyone!"
Accompanied by fierce applause, Li Zhenguo returned to his seat, and Nie Chang stepped forward again.
"Thank you for your encouragement and entrustment. We will keep it in mind and move forward bravely."
Nie Chang looked around the audience and said in a high voice, "The last item of the opening ceremony, please East Vanguard Training Camp Chief Instructor Lin Yi, announce the discipline requirements of the training camp and give instructions."
For a time, all the students' eyes and all the mission's lenses were focused on that young figure.
Lin Yi stood up and walked to the stage.
There was total silence in the square, and you could hear a pin drop.
Both the students and the delegation were holding their breath, waiting for his speech.
Lin Yi did not speak immediately, his calm eyes slowly swept across the 800 students in the audience.
Most of these faces are young, full of desire, excitement, and even a little uneasiness. They are the Kindling selected in this era, and they are the hope of resisting Abyss Tide in the future.
Then, Lin Yi glanced across the square of students and looked towards the viewing area.
There, sat delegations from all over the world.
Lin Yi couldn't help feeling a little emotional, there were so many old acquaintances here this time.
He turned his attention to the direction of the England mission.
There, a young woman with brilliant blond hair and an exquisite face was staring at him with deep curiosity and scrutiny.
Elizabeth.
Lin Yi said this name silently in his heart.
This guy's nickname "Rose Queen" is not for nothing. He looks sweet and sweet, but in fact he has a fierce and fiery personality. He lives up to his name like a rose with thorns.
In their previous lives, due to conflicts of ideas, the two had many tit-for-tat confrontations, and even fought several times, with each other winning or losing.
But it was she who, when the Destruction-like Main Nest-class Abyss Tide broke out in her previous life, and when Xia Kingdom sent out a signal for help, many so-called "allies" were silent or refused, but she personally led the team and rushed to help across dangerous situations.
And at the most critical moment, he saved himself from the claws of the golden dragon at the cost of an arm.
Then, Lin Yi shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the dark-skinned black guy in the America mission, who was whispering to his companions with a silly smile on his face.
Andre.
This black guy, after meeting him during a cross-border rescue operation in his previous life, talked about "tired from logging" all day long.
Also in that desperate Main Nest-level Abyss Tide, America made it clear that it could not provide assistance because it was also attacked by the giant Abyss Tide.
It was this guy who shouted "I'm tired of logging", who ignored the ban and crossed the ocean alone to come to support, and finally left his life in the land of China forever.
Familiar faces flashed past the viewing area.
After all, they are the most preferred elites in a country. Lin Yi At a glance, many of them are "old acquaintances" who have dealt with them on different fronts and on different occasions in their previous lives, and even fought side by side or fought fiercely.
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
In previous lives, mankind suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the disaster, and the global order collapsed, with each acting independently and even at odds with each other.
It was not until much later, under the weight of blood lessons and survival, that it was difficult to integrate, but the process was still full of suspicion, compromise and helplessness.
It is almost unimaginable that, like today, diplomatic missions from many countries would gather together to watch the opening of a training camp aimed at cultivating future strong men with a mentality of cooperation rather than confrontation.
And this life.
The state machinery operates efficiently and preserves more vitality.
The victory of "Dawn Operation" established confidence and leadership.
Global Union was established quickly, and elites from various countries are sitting here now, with more eyes on their desire for power and expectations for cooperation.
Under the stage, there are eight hundred Xia Kingdom seeds full of potential, and beside him are the top leaders who give him full trust and support.
Everything was completely different from the difficult, chaotic, and bloody start he remembered.
An indescribable emotion stirred in Lin Yi's chest.
It was not only gratifying, but also an unprecedented confidence, a kind of majestic vigor and pride that grew out of seeing greater hope.
"In this life, we have the power of the whole country as our backing, global cooperation as our wings, and so many heroes who have proven their courage and belief in their previous lives."
"Civilization Promotion Assessment, I, Blue Star Civilization, what do I have to fear?!"
At this moment when my heart is surging and my courage is drying up,
The flash of inspiration that I had missed while practicing shooting on the rooftop suddenly became extremely clear as if it was ignited by this passionate emotion and open mind.
Lin Yi didn't hesitate and grabbed it.
In an instant, all the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to suddenly disappear.
Lin Yi stood quietly on the stage, holding a microphone, and fell into a sudden epiphany.
The whole world seemed to slow down in his perception, becoming extremely clear and yet extremely distant.
A brief pause.
One second, two seconds
Nie Chang on the rostrum turned slightly sideways.
He thought that Lin Yi might be facing such a solemn and grand scene for the first time, and with the presence of the chief, he was inevitably a little nervous, and was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere and smooth things over for him.
The moment Nie Chang was about to speak.
An extremely sudden but sharp sense of crisis suddenly grasped his heart like an invisible giant hand.
Nie Chang's muscles instantly tensed up, and his instincts honed over time on the battlefield made him almost make tactical evasive maneuvers.
Immediately, he reacted and locked his horrified eyes on Lin Yi.
It felt like a gentle comrade suddenly turned into an ancient ferocious beast that chose to devour others. Just the aura emitted unconsciously made him, a battle-experienced general, feel a fatal threat.
Not just Nie Chang.
Everyone on and off the stage felt the unspeakable huge pressure at this moment.
I saw Lin Yi on the stage, still standing motionless, but in his deep eyes, at some point, infinitely tiny purple electric arcs appeared and died out of thin air, flickering on and off, as if there was a Thunder universe that was about to explode.
Then, crackle, sizzle
An extremely subtle but clearly audible sound of electric current began to sound in the air around him.
Wisps and wisps of purple arcs that were as condensed as the substance seemed to have broken free from the invisible restraints. They jumped out from Lin Yi's body surface, entangled and circulated, making him look like the God of Thunder coming to the world.
An indescribable coercion centered on him and spread quietly like water waves. Although it was not violent, it was as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the vast sea.
The eight hundred students in the audience were the closest and felt the most directly.
They just felt as if there was an invisible mountain pressing down on their hearts, breathing suddenly became difficult, their hearts beat violently uncontrollably, their blood rushed faster, and a sense of awe and trembling stemming from the instinct of life swept through their bodies.
Their eyes widened as they looked at Chief Instructor, who was surrounded by purple lightning on the stage. Their minds went blank, leaving only indescribable shock.
The expressions of the members of the diplomatic missions from various countries in the viewing area also changed drastically.
The tea cup in Sir Howard's hand trembled slightly, and the smile on Mr. Williams's face completely froze.
Elizabeth's beautiful blue eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty, and she subconsciously clenched the armrest of the seat.
Andre opened his mouth wide, and his honest face was filled with confusion of "What is going on?"
Other scholars and military attachés were also sweating. This level of power was completely beyond their cognitive scope.
The entire square, with thousands of people, fell into an extreme and eerie silence at this moment.
No one spoke, no one even dared to breathe loudly, and all whispers and commotions came to an abrupt end.
Only the subtle but heart-stopping crackle of electricity and the drum-like heartbeat in his chest could be heard clearly.
