A Familiar Face: Linna
Just as the Aomeijia Alliance's advantages in communication technology and firearms provide overwhelming superiority, the Seventh Sequence, Sequence Lock, and Virtual Furnace Fire Seed Refining bring absolute advantages.
The Seventh Sequence's high fault tolerance, absolute competitiveness due to its sequence lock within the same sequence, and the purification of genetic bloodlines brought about by the spark—these three points are enough to crush Sequence Holder from other countries.
Zhang Xuezhou and others did not rule out the Aomeijia Alliance some advanced methods, but the sequential abilities that the Aomeijia people displayed on the Alliance Island were only that powerful.
"The Aomeijia Alliance has traded extracts from fourteen ferocious beasts, twelve of which match the sequence cultivation requirements of our committee. If things proceed smoothly, we will add twelve more Seventh Sequence cultivators!"
The situation of the Seventh Sequence of the Scarlet Alliance State gushing forth like a spring has begun to emerge.
If all goes well, a group of nearly twenty Seventh Sequence individuals will gather in the Aomeijia Alliance, with over thirty Sixth Sequence individuals who have undergone accelerated sequence locks providing assistance.
Regardless of the current situation in the Aomeijia Alliance, these individuals, when combined, can carry out targeted decapitation strikes, thereby quickly disrupting the balance of power within the Aomeijia Alliance.
"Haven't received a reply yet?"
"No!"
The information about Ren Yisheng ends before he left the Aomeijia Alliance. After he left, the information can only be guessed, and it is difficult to be completely certain, but it will be roughly close to Ren Anran's guess.
"What about Glucks?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"He's just freeloading in the neighborhood," Ren Anran said. "He's going to prey on whoever he can find; he's practically indiscriminate in his hunger!"
"What about the Thousand Islands Alliance?"
"Nothing's been happening; they're probably involved in an elite decapitation operation with the Montes Lineage!"
Once a rebellion is ignited on a large scale, it is not easy to end. During Zhang Xuezhou's twelve days in another world, the fighting never stopped.
Time is dragging on, and the damage is increasing.
Traffic and transportation in Blanpeda were disrupted. Those who initially came to watch the spectacle began to stay at home. Most jobs had to be suspended. Panic buying occurred for some items, and the currency began to fluctuate. Calls for conscription and stability maintenance spread among the general public, and all sorts of unverified rumors flew around.
Ren Anran focused on the clashes between top groups, while Zhang Manqian, who was in charge of the speech, explained the situation of people living at the grassroots level.
War affects every group indiscriminately; no one can remain unaffected.
The artillery fire continued to roar. Some shells were indiscriminate, and some of the Sequence Holder began to move into ordinary residential areas, thus increasing the probability of these areas being hit by artillery fire.
"After being shelled a few times, many people have become more subdued. Two large-scale demonstrations of tens of thousands of people were also bombed. Hundreds died on the ground, and more were trampled to death than killed by the shells. Thousands were injured. Now, it's said that they're bombing wherever there are large crowds. In Branpeda, few people dare to gather in large numbers. The situation in other areas is unknown," Zhang Manqian said. "If the Aomeijia Alliance could access our live streaming technology, many accidents could be avoided!"
"Who organized the march?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
I don't know!
"These protesters are probably being used as cannon fodder in mine clearance..."
With no reinforcements from the Scarlet Alliance State arriving, nothing Zhang Xuezhou could do at that moment would make a difference.
He was just about to say a few words to wrap things up, and then go to check on the flag he had set up, when a deafening explosion came, and the hotel shook for a while. A building near his residential area had been hit by a rocket.
"Can you calculate the approximate location of the rocket launcher based on the impact point?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"It shouldn't be a problem. We can get some math students to calculate it!" Zhang Manqian replied.
Zhang Xuezhou stuck his head out of the window. He didn't listen to the wailing and panicked fleeing sounds, but instead stared intently at the high-pressure gas left in the air by the rocket launcher.
"These rocket launchers are fired from mobile launchers and then leave after firing, making them quite difficult to pursue," Ren Anran cautioned. "Even if you rush to the launch site as soon as you see the impact point, their launchers should have been gone for at least fifteen minutes!"
"It seems there's no easy way to deal with them," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"I think we need to control the communications and networks in this area first, and then have technicians track down the people to determine their approximate location before we can find the commanders behind the scenes," Zhang Manqian said.
"The Montes Lineage is a pure Sequence Holder Lineage, so when they retaliate, they lack specific targets and, coupled with their smaller numbers, they are put on the defensive," Ren Anran said. "We can try the method Manqian mentioned first!"
"This requires a high level of localization technology!"
"Once we control the communications control center in Brampeda, this shouldn't be a major problem. The outstanding students from the prestigious universities in the Aomeijia Alliance are quite capable in this area!"
"It seems your communication with the student body has been going quite smoothly lately!"
Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.
Their hotel was located in the Academy District of Brampeda, which, like the Academy District of Western Capital City, is home to three major universities: Shengteng, Canglan, and Mingdu. This area also gathers the top universities of the Aomeijia Alliance.
Zhang Manqian's essay contest targeted students.
If you're willing to spend the money, you'll likely gain something extra, more or less.
Judging from Zhang Manqian's response, Zhang Manqian clearly gets along well with these students and maintains some contact with them.
Zhang Xuezhou listened with great interest.
They are currently few in number, but capturing a fixed area should not be a problem for them.
With Ren Anran's abilities, they don't even need to forcibly seize the property; they can simply use hypnosis and other methods to temporarily control it.
If we can find out the information in advance, and wait for Ren Yisheng to arrive with his team, we can launch a rapid attack and quickly carry out a decapitation strike to seize the flag.
While waiting for news of Ren Yisheng and the others joining them, Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind doing something in Blanpeda.
Lacking legal constraints and normal order, Blanpeda is currently in chaos, with even the main control center for communications and the internet struggling to function properly.
Seeing that Zhang Manqian sent the message several times before finally sending it, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the current Aomeijia Alliance was on the verge of large-scale chaos.
If even communications are disrupted, the management's ability to govern will be severely weakened, and panic and evil thoughts will arise.
He glanced at the truck, then put on a coat.
After hurriedly leaving the hotel, Zhang Xuezhou and the others climbed into the truck parked downstairs.
"Linna?"
As the truck started and reversed out of the parking space, Zhang Xuezhou saw a familiar figure busy with rescue efforts beneath the building that had been bombarded by rocket artillery in the distance.
He looked at her several times before he could recognize the woman dressed in ordinary medical uniform.
This gave him a thought, making him realize that the Montes Lineage's headquarters might actually be located in the Academy District.
