Chapter 96: Theater War! (First Chapter)

Before 1993.

In Huaxia, there was no such thing as a cinema chain.

Basically, movie theaters operated under a vertically monopolized system.

[Huaying Group] exclusively handled film distribution; theaters screened films according to administrative orders; the nation’s screens were few, mostly single-screen old-style cinemas in towns and villages, with films predominantly focused on main-theme propaganda.

In 1993, as the market gradually flourished and national income rose, the [Huaxia Film Industry]

At the horizon, the Demon Lord’s lips curled into a cold smile; he rotated his right hand slightly, then pulled both hands forward, tearing open a massive rift in the space before him.

Ling Fan did not believe these people were merely driven by righteous fury, seeking justice for the younger generation of the Southern Frontier.

In the military, Ma Mao and Li Qian were currently in the process of handover. The Self-Examination Council began large-scale recruitment two years after the war, establishing party members and political groups within the newly occupied Iron Tower territories, absorbing them into its own political structure to complete the transition.

Qin An frowned slightly, unsure what to say to Hong Lian; perhaps he really should find her a man.

He silently cursed the Southern Frontier demonic cultivators, berating them for neglecting their cultivation and fixating on the Southern Frontier Princess.

But the fission reactor was not a new design. Precisely speaking, it was a hybrid reactor, also called a cold fusion reactor, since, compared to the billion-degree conditions of a fusion reactor, this one operating at just a few thousand degrees could legitimately be termed cold fusion.

This was like the difference between battleships and aircraft carriers: previously, fighter jets used radar to locate targets, then flew to attack positions and manually launched missiles.

Yuan Xing sent his spiritual sense into the Chess Beast Sack, forcibly enveloping one Xuchen Butterfly, dragging it out of the sack and letting it float in midair; the remaining Xuchen Butterflies inside, startled, dissolved into specks of dust and vanished from sight.

This war forced everyone on this land to choose a side—only two options existed. Due to historical inertia, Ren Di could not completely alter the fact that his side, to win, had to create such a purely rational choice; he could only make his own side’s choice as good as possible.

As if sensing Chen Zong’s spiritual will was unshakable, the divine image grew enraged. Though merely a statue, it contained a trace of the Eagle God’s consciousness, and it erupted—completely, utterly—because it now knew Chen Zong’s true identity.

Baimiao City lay in the southeastern part of Liangzhou Continent. Most residents were Bai Miao people; outsiders rarely came here.

Fuck! Li Jie felt his eyes were about to burst; his heart tightened in agony. Leaning against the wall, his whole body trembled. Then he screamed, thrusting his assault rifle outward and raking fire wildly toward the suspected sniper’s position.

Beneath the sea, in Yang state, he continuously chanted the spell; with each full cycle, his inner rage and internal injuries receded dramatically.

Ye Huan gazed at the peach blossom morning mist, plucked a peach blossom, sniffed it at his nose, then tossed it aside and stepped forward.

At this moment, Ye Huan addressing the Tyrant by name enraged the Tyrant further; his fist, wrapped in thunderous might, struck out.

“He’s cheating, he’s cheating…” Zhao Yingjun excitedly reached out, convinced he had found Ye Huan’s weakness.

Inside the tent, fierce generals gathered, nobles surrounded; numerous Manchu banner princes, dukes, beile, and beizi sat in a circle on felt carpets, their faces grim, expressions weary, boots on, legs crossed, sipping tea, not a word spoken.

The commander’s order? Don’t make me laugh—up ahead are iron shells; compared to those, the commander’s order won’t kill you? And in this chaotic scene, how many soldiers would even hear the warnings?
