Chapter 120: Coveting the Battle Saucer

Human Corridor Defense Line.

A few months ago, this place was breached by savage beasts that swarmed across the mountains and plains.

Countless martial dao powerhouses and genetic cultivators perished here.

As for Federation soldiers, the number who died here is beyond counting.

In just a few months, a new defense line has been rebuilt here.

Unlike the first defense line, after the new one was established, at least two powerhouses above the Innate realm had to be permanently stationed here.

And once a beast tide appeared, whether it was the Genetic Alliance or the Martial Dao Alliance, the Alliance Leader had to come.

After the original steel fortress defense line was rebuilt, not only was the command hall renovated, but a frontline combat conference center was also constructed.

This conference center was not allowed to be built in the rear; it had to be built at the very top of the defense line, at a position that could face the beasts' charge head-on.

The Daka Defense Line airport had been expanded to roughly ten times its original size.

Mainly because the Zhan God Two battle saucer, under Shi Chang's control, had already arrived at the Daka Defense Line airport.

If a beast tide as powerful as the last one attacked, the Zhan God Two battle saucer could directly use its beam weapons to mow down beasts by the swath.

This battle saucer was also the confidence behind humanity's rebuilding of the Human Corridor Defense Line.

At this moment, in the combat conference center of the Human Corridor Defense Line, were military representatives from dozens of Earth's powerful nations, the Zhengfu Alliance Leaders and core members of the Genetic Alliance, and the Zhengfu Alliance Leaders and core members of the Martial Dao Alliance.

Even several deans from Blue Star's Ten Great Academies had shown up to attend this meeting.

Because Huaxia was the backbone of Earth's defense, even the Director-General of the Security Bureau had appeared here.

Presiding over this meeting was the Federation Army's First Commander, who was also Commander Gu Zhong, and he would also become the new Commander-in-Chief of the Human Corridor Defense Line.

Gu Zhong stood up, his tone somewhat agitated,

"Everyone, Heaven has not abandoned us humans. Even I myself did not expect that just a few months after the Human Corridor Defense Line was blasted open, we would have rebuilt the defense line.

This is because our humanity's fortune still endures, and it was bought with the lives and blood of countless predecessors and pioneers. What we must do is strive to hold onto their achievements, and absolutely not allow the savage beasts to take a single step into the Human Corridor Defense Line again.

Today I must thank Mr. Shi Chang; Mr. Shi Chang is our Earth's number one powerhouse.

Originally, with his strength, even if these savage beasts broke through the defense line and wiped out humanity, they could not threaten him.

Yet he resolutely stepped forward, not only slaying every last one of the powerful extraterrestrial-civilization invaders of Earth, but also capturing a battle saucer.

Because of this battle saucer, our Human Corridor Defense Line will have even more confidence…"

"Commander Gu, I must correct you on one point. Those powerhouses of the extraterrestrial civilization are not something I could drive away…"

Shi Chang stood up, wanting to refute Gu Zhong's words, but the moment he began to speak, he was cut off by Gu Zhong:

"Although it was not entirely Mr. Shi's strength alone, without you, the extraterrestrial civilization would probably have gnawed its way into Asia by now…"

Shi Chang felt Gu Zhong's words were off, because when he went to find Ding Huan, Ding Huan had already decided to act.

In other words, without him, Shi Chang, Ding Huan would have wiped out the extraterrestrial base all the same.

"Commander Gu, Mr. Shi Chang's contributions are plain for all to see; no one can erase them.

He even contributed the battle saucer to the Human Corridor Defense Line. On behalf of the Genetic Alliance, I am the first to solemnly thank Mr. Shi."

The Genetic Alliance's Fu Alliance Leader Hou Hezhong stood up and said in a sincere tone.

Ever since Gu Xian was killed by Ding Huan, Hou Hezhong had been elected as the Genetic Alliance's Fu Alliance Leader.

Shi Chang snorted, but since the one speaking was not Shi Changyi, he could not very well step forward to refute him.

After Hou Hezhong finished speaking, he also bowed once to Shi Chang, then continued:

"The extraterrestrial battle saucer is of vital importance to the defense line, so today, in the capacity of an ordinary person,

I earnestly request Mr. Shi to bring that other battle saucer to the defense line as well, so that we humans may have one more guardian."

Shi Chang felt as though he had swallowed a fly; when had he ever said he would give his own battle saucer to the defense line?

He was merely stationed here at the defense line; the battle saucer was under his control, that was all.

That was a completely different matter from giving the battle saucer to the defense line.

If the battle saucer were given to the defense line, it would become the property of the Federation International; right now the battle saucer was his private property, and he could fly it back to Huaxia at any time.

If it were Federation property, how could he fly it back to Huaxia?

And that was not even the main point. The main point was that transferring the battle saucer to the Federation would be tantamount to confirming Ding Huan's words.

Yet this fellow not only voluntarily gave his own battle saucer away, he was also coveting Ding Huan's battle saucer—pah.

"Hou Hezhong, that other battle saucer is not mine; it belongs to a powerhouse. He slew the extraterrestrial powerhouses for us, and only then captured the battle saucer. What, does your Genetic Alliance want to seize someone else's property?"

Shi Chang said coldly.

Hou Hezhong replied with a hint of humility in his tone: "Senior Shi has misunderstood; how would our Genetic Alliance dare to claim a heavy weapon like a battle saucer?

Think of the last time the Human Corridor Defense Line was breached, countless innocent Federation soldiers defending the line were killed by savage beasts; the thought of it leaves a bitter taste in my heart.

Now that the defense line is rebuilt, I only yearn for such things never to happen again.

So I am merely imploring Senior to bring the battle saucer here, to serve as a bulwark for the defense line's protection.

In the future, if that Senior comes, naturally that Senior will have the final say."

"Right, Old Shi, now that the Human Corridor Defense Line has been rebuilt, the savage beasts could attack it at any moment. Leaving a battle saucer sitting in that godforsaken place in West Asia is a complete waste of resources."

The one who stood up to speak this time was unexpectedly Zhenyu Academy's Dean Nong Yizhen.

Despite Shi Chang nominally being Huaxia's number one powerhouse, Nong Yizhen's status was in no way lower than Shi Chang's.

Before Shi Chang could speak, the Martial Dao Alliance's Alliance Leader Qu Weimin also stood up and said,

"Old Shi, on this matter you really have misjudged.

What would you do with a battle saucer? Leaving it at the Human Corridor Defense Line could at least let us lose fewer young warriors."

Shi Chang opened his mouth, and combined with the fact that he was simply not good with words, he had absolutely no idea where to begin his rebuttal.

At this moment he finally understood why Ding Huan felt that giving things to him was a waste, was giving them away.

It was not that he, Shi Chang, had to hog the battle saucer; rather, Shi Chang understood that as long as the battle saucer was under his name, no one would dare touch what was inside it.

Once the battle disc is handed over to the Federal Defense Line, then the very next moment Shi Changyi of the Gene Alliance could openly enter the battle disc and take things away.

Ding Huan's words would truly be confirmed.

Zhong Chi saw that many people were looking at him; he knew it was unrealistic for him to keep the battle disc for himself, so he stood up and said slowly:

"I can hand over the battle disc, but this battle disc can only belong to Huaxia. I am willing to hand it over to the Huaxia Security Bureau, for the Huaxia Security Bureau to control the battle disc's combat."

Although this occasion was not suitable for Zhu Qinjiang to stand up and speak, after all he was only the former Chief of the Pujiang Security Bureau, not even the current one.

Even if someone were to speak, it should be Huaxia Security Bureau Chief Dou Qingzhi stepping forward to speak.

However, after Zhong Chi's words fell, he could no longer hold back and stood up:

"Old Zhong, rest assured, with the battle disc in my Security Bureau, it will definitely serve the defense line with complete dedication.

My Pujiang Security Bureau will dispatch Chief Seeing Qu Yi to control the battle disc; absolutely no one will be allowed to enter the battle disc without good reason."

Zhong Chi transferred the battle disc to the Security Bureau, and Zhu Qinjiang of the Security Bureau voluntarily stepped forward to accept the battle disc, even dispatching Chief Seeing Qu Yi of the Puhai Security Bureau to control the battle disc.

At this point, even if the Gene Alliance had no shame, it could not continue to demand this battle disc.

"Senior Zhong is truly enlightened and righteous; please Mr. Zhong release the authority over the other battle disc, and let the Federal Army drive it to the defense line."

After Zhong Chi transferred the battle disc to the Security Bureau, Hou Hou Hezhong immediately shifted the topic, setting his sights on the second battle disc.

Zhong Chi snorted coldly and said: "If you have the ability, go drive that battle disc yourself; don't blame me for not warning you, people will die."

"Old Zhong, since that's the case, you might as well transfer the battle disc authority to the Federation. My True Universe Academy is willing to represent the Federation in driving the battle disc over."

What Zhong Chi did not expect was that Nong Yizhen once again stepped forward to back the Gene Alliance.

Zhong Chi laughed heartily: "I've already said it, that battle disc is not mine, and I don't have the authority either; if you want it, go drive it yourself."

This conference temporarily halted amid discordant voices; Zhong Chi sighed inwardly, and suddenly somewhat understood why Ding Huan looked down on the Federation and the two major Alliances.

Still, Brother Ding lives life freely and at ease.

"Senior Zhong..." a crisp voice interrupted Zhong Chi's thoughts.

Zhong Chi turned his head and saw Seeing Qu Yi standing beside him; he immediately smiled and said: "Chief Seeing Qu Yi, I was just looking for you. Let's go, I'll give you the battle disc authority."

Giving the battle disc authority to others, Zhong Chi was certainly unhappy inside, but transferring it to Seeing Qu Yi, he could accept.

Seeing Qu Yi shook her head and said: "I'm not here for the battle disc authority; I want to ask Senior, what is the name of that powerful one who destroyed the alien civilization together with you?"

Zhong Chi took out a cloth bag and handed it to Seeing Qu Yi, saying in a low voice:

"It's your teacher Ding Huan. I didn't reveal his name because I was worried that that bastard Shi Changyi would go into hiding, and Brother Ding Huan wouldn't be able to find him."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this news, Seeing Qu Yi's tears finally could not help but fall.

Countless times she had hoped Ding Huan was still alive; she never expected this wish to actually come true.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Senior." Seeing Qu Yi said thank you several times in a row, then bowed respectfully to Zhong Chi.

Zhong Chi waved his hand: "What's there to thank me for? Your teacher and I have a sworn-brother relationship.

Besides, it's always been him saving me, not me saving him."

"Senior Zhong, Ding Huan is not my teacher. Although I told others he was my teacher, in fact he is not my teacher." Seeing Qu Yi immediately objected.

In her subconscious, Ding Huan was of the same generation as her, her big brother.

Moreover, Ding Huan had never said he would be her teacher.

"Oh..." After Zhong Chi uttered a meaningful "oh," he stuffed the cloth bag in his hand into Seeing Qu Yi's hands.

"What is this?" Seeing Qu Yi took the cloth bag and asked in confusion.

"This is what Brother Ding asked me to bring to you, telling you to cultivate diligently; the things inside are far more precious than vitality stones." Zhong Chi said.
