Chapter 366: Defense Zone Administrator

Inner City City Defense Team camp.

"F***, all of you, squat down properly! If anyone dares to play any smart tricks, I'll f***ing execute them directly!"

The City Defense Team soldiers were controlled by a group of shirtless, muscular men. They had been happy for a while after receiving the news that there would be no tasks today, but soon, waves of energy fluctuations erupted throughout the Inner City.

At first, the City Defense Team soldiers wanted to go out and investigate, but not long after stepping out, they were caught off guard by this group of suddenly appearing muscular men. Eventually, under the command of the other side to "drop your weapons and surrender," the surviving City Defense Team soldiers were brought back to the City Defense Team camp.

"Aren't they the soldiers of Chief Yingzhou? Could it be that Chief Yingzhou has betrayed the Human Alliance?"

"No way, right? These soldiers shouldn't be under control; Chief Yingzhou summoned so many soldiers, there must be some who don't listen to orders."

Just as several City Defense Team soldiers were discussing this, a black-gray-skinned giant about 2.4 meters tall walked into the camp. Upon seeing this giant, those muscular men saluted him one after another.

Vulkan looked at the controlled City Defense Team soldiers and asked the Catachan Sergeant following behind him.

"Have they done anything to harm the residents?"

"Lord Vulkan, no such type of heretic has been discovered yet. According to what the Emperor told us, the City Defense Team soldiers who slaughtered the Inner City residents had already been demonized; after the Herui Gate opened, their life force had already been drained."

After hearing this, Vulkan's reddish pupils swept over this group of City Defense Team soldiers, recalling the corpses of the innocent residents he had encountered when he arrived.

Those innocent residents, they clearly had done nothing wrong, yet they lost their lives—those damned demons!

Thinking of this, the veins on Vulkan's thick arms bulged, and he wished he could kill those demons.

"Send out some soldiers to soothe the emotions of the Inner City residents. Tell them not to be afraid; the danger is over."

"Yes! Lord Vulkan!"

At this time, the Inner City residents were all badly frightened by the energy fluctuations in the Noble District and were hiding in their homes, not daring to come out. When some Inner City residents looked outside from their windows, they discovered some muscular men wearing red headbands and bulging muscles shouting on the streets.

"The crisis has been resolved by the Emperor. Give thanks to the great Emperor! It is he who saved you!"

Although these residents did not know who the Emperor mentioned by these Catachan men was, they roughly understood the meaning: the danger outside had ended, and they were safe.

Although these muscular men looked quite terrifying, hearing the news that they were safe, combined with the fact that no more energy fluctuations were coming, made many Inner City residents heave a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over!"

"What exactly happened?"

"Not sure! It shouldn't have much to do with us, right?"

Ninth Defense Zone High-Level Meeting Building.

Yingzhou entered the building with two Grey Knights, walking slowly up the stairs. Arriving at the top floor of the building, Yingzhou followed the location he had inquired about from Jack and found a hidden office behind the usual meeting room. The office door was not locked. Just as Yingzhou was about to open the office door, he was stopped by Taigehe'er.

"Emperor, please allow me to open the door."

Taigehe'er respectfully extended his right hand and spoke to Yingzhou.

"Hmm, then you do it."

Yingzhou did not refuse; he nodded and let Taigehe'er open the office door.

Sure enough, just as Yingzhou had expected, as Taigehe'er pushed the office door open, it was pitch black inside. But when Taigehe'er looked inside, he spoke to Yingzhou.

"Emperor, there is a woman inside."

After hearing this, Yingzhou nodded and let the two Grey Knights wait outside while he walked into the office.

As Yingzhou walked into the office, as if identifying Yingzhou's identity, the lights in the office turned on instantly, and the office door closed behind him.

Yingzhou looked at Selina, who was sitting in the middle of a pile of instruments, and spoke slowly.

"Selina, you are not a Human?"

Selina looked at Yingzhou and answered in a flat tone.

"Councilor Yingzhou, do you have any business with me? Only Councilors can enter here, but under normal circumstances, I do not let them in."

Hearing this, Yingzhou moved his aching body and said with interest.

"Oh? Then why did you let me in? And, it seems you didn't intend to drive my soldiers away when they just entered."

Selina adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose, her red lips parted slightly, and she answered in a flat voice.

"Because there are currently only three Councilors left alive in the Ninth Defense Zone; the other Councilors have already died, and the personnel of various departments in the Inner City have also suffered nearly eighty percent losses.

According to the original intention of the Human Alliance in establishing the nine defense zones, if a defense zone has not been occupied by an Alien Race but the high-level officials are few, the remaining high-level officials may elect a Helmsman for the defense zone to manage it, and the Defense Zone Administrator should actively cooperate."

After hearing Selina's answer, Yingzhou scanned the surrounding instruments with his eyes and continued to ask.

"What does Defense Zone Administrator refer to?"

"I, Selina, am the Defense Zone Administrator appointed by the Human Alliance. I do not participate in the management of the defense zone's affairs; I am only responsible for recording events that occur within the defense zone and contacting other defense zones."

"So, you are not a Human? But a robot?"

Selina shook her head slightly and answered.

"I do not consider myself a robot. To be precise, I should be a Bionic Modified Human who has undergone certain modifications from a bionic person."

Hearing this, Yingzhou felt a sudden sigh in his heart, hoping that the old man Emperor would not think Selina belonged to an Alien.

"Then you mean, other defense zones also have administrators?"

Just as Yingzhou was wondering why he hadn't seen the administrator of the Fourth Defense Zone when he was there, he saw Selina shake her head slightly.

"Not at all. I am the only administrator. All administrators were produced by the First Defense Zone. After I was produced and brought to the Ninth Defense Zone, the First Defense Zone suddenly lost contact, and even its coordinates can no longer be found."

Hearing this news, Yingzhou frowned and looked at Selina in confusion.

"You mean, the First Defense Zone was not captured by an Alien Race, but suddenly lost contact?"

"Yes. However, according to past discussions by Councilors, they believed that since the First Defense Zone was the defense zone with the most advanced technology in the Human Alliance, it would naturally be targeted by Alien Races. And the loss of contact with the First Defense Zone was very likely a direct attack by an unknown Alien Race, causing the First Defense Zone to fall before it even had time to send a message to other defense zones."

Selina manipulated an instrument in front of her, narrating the content of the meetings held by high-level officials regarding the issue of the First Defense Zone's loss of contact, which was recorded on it.

Yingzhou nodded and said to Selina.

"Put the matter of the First Defense Zone aside for now; let's talk about the main business first."
