Chapter 120 - 117: Coveting the War Disc

Human Corridor Defense Line. Several months ago, this place was overrun by Fierce Beasts swarming across the hills and plains. Countless Martial Arts experts and gene cultivators perished here. As for the Federation Soldiers, the number of deaths here was even more uncountable. Merely a few months passed, and a new defense line was established here again. Unlike the first defense line, after the new defense line was established, there had to be at least two innate powerhouses stationed here at all times. Moreover, whenever a Fierce Beast Tide appeared, whether from the Genetic Alliance or the Martial Arts Alliance, the Alliance Hierarch must attend. The original steel fortress defense line was rebuilt, not only refurbishing the command hall but also reconstructing a frontline combat conference center. This conference center was not allowed to be established in the rear but had to be built at the top of the defense line, where it could directly face the impact of the Fierce Beasts. The Daka Defense Airport was expanded about tenfold from its original size. This was mainly because the War Disc "Zhen Shen No. 2" had come under the control of Zhong Chi and had arrived at the Daka Defense Airport. If the same kind of powerful Fierce Beast Tide attacked as last time, the "Zhen Shen No. 2" War Disc could directly use beam weapons to annihilate the Fierce Beasts en masse. This war disc was also the basis for humanity's confidence in rebuilding the Human Corridor Defense Line. Currently, at the Human Corridor Defense Line's combat conference center, military representatives from dozens of Earth's strongest nations, the main and deputy heads and key members of the Genetic Alliance and Martial Arts Alliance were present. Even several presidents from the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges attended the meeting. Hua Xia, as the main force defending Earth, even saw the presence of the head of the Security Department here. The meeting was chaired by the first commander of the Federation Army, also the Federation Army Commander Gu Zhong, who would also become the new director of the Human Corridor Defense Line. Gu Zhong stood up, his tone slightly excited, "Ladies and gentlemen, heaven has not forsaken humanity. Even I myself did not expect that a few months after the Human Corridor Defense Line was blasted through, we would have rebuilt the defense line. This is the fortune of humanity still alive, and it is also the result of countless predecessors and pioneers exchanging with their lives and blood. What we must do is to strive to protect their achievements and not allow the Fierce Beasts to step into the Human Corridor Defense Line again. Today, I want to thank Mr. Zhong Chi, Mr. Zhong Chi is our Earth's strongest person. Originally, with his strength, even if these fierce beasts broke through the defense line and exterminated humanity, they would not pose a threat to him. But he resolutely stood up, not only did he annihilate the alien invaders exterminating Earth's powerful enemies but also captured a war disc. Because of this war disc, our Human Corridor Defense Line, will have even more confidence..." "Commander Gu, I must correct you on one point. Those powerful alien beings are not something I can drive away..." Zhong Chi stood up, wanting to refute Gu Zhong's words, but just as he began to speak, he was interrupted by Gu Zhong: "Mr. Zhong, although it was not solely your effort, without you, now the alien civilization might have devoured Asia..." Zhong Chi felt something was wrong with Gu Zhong's words, because when he went to find Ding Huan, Ding Huan had already decided to take action. That is to say, without him, Zhong Chi, Ding Huan would have taken out the alien base anyway. "Commander Gu, Mr. Zhong Chi's contributions are seen by all, nobody can erase them. He even donated the war disc to the Human Corridor Defense Line, and I, on behalf of the Genetic Alliance, am the first to formally thank Mr. Zhong." Vice Alliance Hierarch Hou Hezhong of the Genetic Alliance stood up, speaking sincerely. Since Gu Xian had been killed by Ding Huan, Hou Hezhong had been elected as the deputy head of the Genetic Alliance. Zhong Chi snorted, but since it was not Shi Changyi speaking, he felt it inappropriate to come forward to refute. After Hou Hezhong finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhong Chi, then continued: "The Alien UFO is crucial for the defense line, so today, in the capacity of an ordinary person, I earnestly request Mr. Zhong to bring another war disc to the defense line, to give humanity an additional guardian deity." Zhong Chi felt like he had swallowed a fly, when did he ever say he would donate his war disc to the defense line? He was only guarding here at the defense line, controlling the war disc himself. That's very different from donating the war disc to the defense line. Donating the war disc to the defense line would make it the property of the Federation International, but right now the war disc is his private property, which he can take back to Hua Xia at any time. How could it be taken back to Hua Xia if it belonged to the Federation? And that isn't even the main reason, turning over the war disc to the Federation would just validate Ding Huan's claims. Yet this guy not only willingly gave away his war disc, but also coveted Ding Huan's war disc, ridiculous. "Hou Hezhong, the other war disc is not mine, but belongs to a powerful individual who killed the alien invaders and seized the war disc. What, does your Genetic Alliance intend to rob someone else's property?" Zhong Chi said coldly. Hou Hezhong's tone carried a hint of humility as he said, "Mr. Zhong, you misunderstand. How could my Genetic Alliance dare demand such an important artifact like a war disc? Thinking about how last time the Human Corridor Defense Line was breached and countless innocent Federation Soldiers were killed by the Fierce Beasts, my heart can't bear it." The defensive line is now being rebuilt, and I only hope that such incidents will not happen again. So I only beg the senior to bring the War Disc here, so it can serve as a barrier for the defense line. When that senior arrives in the future, naturally his words will carry weight." "Yes, Lao Zhong, the human corridor defense line is now established, and the Fierce Beast could attack the human corridor defense line at any moment. Leaving the War Disc in that godforsaken place in West Asia is a complete waste of resources." This time, the one who spoke up was Nong Yizhen, the dean of True Universe Academy. Although Zhong Chi is nominally the number one powerhouse of Hua Xia, Nong Yizhen's status is not any less than Zhong Chi's. Before Zhong Chi could speak, Qu Weimin, the Alliance Hierarch of Martial Arts Alliance, also stood up and said, "Lao Zhong, you are indeed mistaken about this. What can you do with the War Disc? If placed in the human corridor defense line, at least it can save the lives of some of our young warriors." Zhong Chi opened his mouth, but being inherently inarticulate, he completely did not know where to start his rebuttal. At that moment, he finally understood why Ding Huan felt giving him the item was a waste, a mere hand-over. It's not that Zhong Chi wanted to monopolize the War Disc, but because Zhong Chi understood, once the War Disc was under his name, no one would dare to touch anything inside. Once the War Disc is handed over to the Federation Defense Line, Shi Changyi of Genetic Alliance would surely be able to freely enter the War Disc and take things. Ding Huan's words would really be proven true. Seeing many people looking at him, Zhong Chi knew it was unrealistic to keep the War Disc to himself. He stood up slowly and said: "I can hand out the War Disc, but this War Disc can only belong to Hua Xia. I am willing to hand it over to the Hua Xia Security Department, and let them control the combat operations of the War Disc." Although it was not appropriate for Zhu Qijiang to stand up and speak, as he was merely the former chief of Pu Hai Security Department, it should have been Dou Qingzhi, the director of Hua Xia Security Department to speak. However, after Zhong Chi finished speaking, he could not hold back and stood up: "Lao Zhong, rest assured, with the War Disc at my Security Department, it will surely fulfill its duties completely for the defense line. My Pu Hai Security Department will send Qu Yi as the commander to control the War Disc, and absolutely no one will be allowed inside the War Disc without reason." Zhong Chi transferred the War Disc to the Security Department, and Zhu Qijiang of the Security Department took initiative to accept the War Disc, even sending Qu Yi, the chief of Pu Hai Security Department, to control it. At this time, even Genetic Alliance could no longer shamelessly demand for this War Disc. "Senior Zhong is wise and brilliant, please also unlock permissions for the other War Disc so it can be moved to the defense line by the Federation Army." After Zhong Chi had transferred the War Disc to the Security Department, Hou Hezhong immediately shifted the topic to the second War Disc. Zhong Chi coldly huffed and said, "If you're brave enough, go operate that War Disc yourself, but don't blame me for not warning you, it's deadly." "Lao Zhong, in that case, simply transfer the War Disc's permissions to the Federation. My True Universe Academy is willing to represent the Federation in moving the War Disc." What Zhong Chi had not anticipated was that Nong Yizhen again stood up to support Genetic Alliance. Zhong Chi laughed heartily: "I've already said, that War Disc isn't mine, and I don't have the permissions, if you want it, go operate it yourself." The meeting temporarily stopped amidst dissonant voices, and Zhong Chi sighed to himself, suddenly understanding why Ding Huan looked down on the Federation and the two alliances. Brother Ding really lived more carefreely. "Senior Zhong..." a crisp voice interrupted Zhong Chi's thoughts. Zhong Chi turned around and saw Qu Yi standing next to him, and he immediately smiled, "Commander Qu, I've been looking for you. Let's go, I will transfer the War Disc's permissions to you." It certainly did not make Zhong Chi happy to give the War Disc's permissions to someone else, but transferring it to Qu Yi was acceptable to him. Qu Yi shook her head and said, "I'm not here for the War Disc's permissions, I want to ask you, Senior, what is the name of the powerhouse who exterminated the alien civilization with you?" Zhong Chi pulled out a cloth bag and handed it to Qu Yi, whispering: "It's your teacher, Ding Huan. I didn't reveal his name because I was worried that Shi Changyi, that bastard, would hide away, making it hard for Brother Ding to find him." "Ah..." Upon hearing this, tears finally fell from Qu Yi's eyes. She had always hoped that Ding Huan was still alive, and this wish had actually come true. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Senior," Qu Yi repeated her thanks and then bowed deeply to Zhong Chi. Zhong Chi waved his hand: "Why are you thanking me? Your teacher and I are sworn brothers. Besides, it's always him saving me, not the other way around." "Senior Zhong, Ding Huan isn't my teacher; although I say he is in front of others, he actually isn't my teacher," Qu Yi immediately retorted. In her subconscious, Ding Huan was her equal, her big brother. Moreover, Ding Huan never said he wanted to be her teacher. "Oh..." Zhong Chi uttered a meaningful 'oh' and then stuffed the cloth bag into Qu Yi's hand. "What is this?" Qu Yi took the cloth bag, asking with curiosity. "This is something Brother Ding entrusted me to give to you, encouraging you to diligently cultivate; the items inside are much more precious than vital energy stones," Zhong Chi said.
