Chapter 488: The Joyful Atmosphere of the Ninth Defense Zone

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Headquarters.

Angron was just standing up from his desk; today's documents had been approved, and Angron was preparing to go to the New City-State to check on the situation there.

"Councilor Jack, I am preparing to go to the New City-State to check on the current situation there. If anything happens in the Outer City, you can contact me via communication."

Angron crossed his hands and pushed them outward, his bones cracking and popping, which caused Jack, who was checking data at a desk nearby, to involuntarily glance over at Angron.

Sometimes, Jack really couldn't fathom why Yingzhou had such a strong son, and it seemed there were three of them by now; Volgan Vulkan, who was like an iron tower, was rumored to have a truly astonishing performance on the battlefield.

But now, Volgan Vulkan had been sent by Yingzhou to the Fourth Defense Zone, where he was temporarily staying to help the humans of the Fourth Defense Zone.

And Angron was currently handling the situation in the Ninth Defense Zone Outer City with great proficiency.

He had only briefly told Angron how to handle certain matters at the very beginning, and after that, Angron had relied entirely on his own exploration.

He hadn't expected that Angron would now find handling these matters to be a piece of cake.

Furthermore, compared to Yingzhou, Angron's personality was more thoughtful, and he was very considerate of others.

Being by Angron's side, he could always feel his mood becoming very pleasant; even if he felt anxious about something, Angron would very keenly perceive his emotional changes.

He would chat with him about various things and often mention his little sister, who was the child left behind by Yingzhou's older brother.

Whenever Angron mentioned his little sister, a doting smile would always appear on his face, as if the child were right in front of him.

Just then, an assistant ran hurriedly into the office where Angron was. Seeing Angron and Jack, the assistant said, panting slightly.

"Huff... Lord Angron, Lord Jack, the latest communication from the Military District: all the Alien Race within the Extreme Cold Zone on the map have been wiped out!"

Hearing this news, Jack asked the assistant again in disbelief.

"What? You said the Alien Race within that Extreme Cold Zone has been eliminated? All of them?"

"Yes, the officers there are now requesting the next instructions from the Military District. The Emperor has asked us to tell this news to the residents of the Ninth Defense Zone Outer City and the residents of the New City-State."

Angron was not that excited about this result; after all, those were his offspring. Although they had met for the first time, the emotions the other party radiated had once made Angron think his offspring might have some mental problems. However, Angron did not care; he would try to deal with their emotional issues.

As expected, my offspring are no worse than Vulkan's.

After a small comparison in his heart, Angron mimicked Yingzhou's habitual action, clenched his right fist, and coughed twice.

"Ahem, let's not keep such happy news to just us few here; hurry up and tell the residents of the Outer City!"

"Yes! Lord Angron!"

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

"Greetings, hardworking residents of the Outer City. Today, there is a very important piece of news to share with you all.

Today, the Emperor sent an Angel to bring punishment down upon an Alien Race huddled in the Extreme Cold Zone. According to the latest news, that Alien Race has been completely wiped out!

Residents of the Outer City! This is an important milestone for our Human Civilization to stand up once again!

Because of the Emperor's guidance, the heroic fighting of the frontline soldiers, and the supplies provided by you all in the rear, this victory could not have been achieved without the efforts of every resident. We are all contributing to Human Civilization in our own ways!

What I want to say is that this is just the beginning; one day, we will once again become the masters of this planet!

Because the Emperor's guidance will illuminate the path forward for every one of us."

Such voices were playing on screens throughout the Outer City. Upon hearing this news, the residents of the Outer City were all filled with excitement and beaming with joy.

The streets of the Ninth Defense Zone Outer City boiled over in an instant.

As waves of cheers surged from the depths of the streets, a joyful atmosphere permeated the alleys and lanes.

When the last electronic sound faded from the screen playing the audio, an old craftsman repairing a roof suddenly let go of the welding torch in his hand, and the metal pipe hit the scaffolding with a "clang."

His Adam's apple rolled violently, bright tears seeped from his wrinkled eye corners in the cold wind, and his chapped lips trembled as he repeated,

"Praise the Emperor! Those Alien Race... deserved to die... deserved to die."

On the street below, a female transport team driver widened her eyes upon hearing the news, leaned half her body out of the truck, and shouted at the mechanic who was repairing the truck.

"Did you hear? The Emperor's Angel led a troop and completely wiped out an Alien Race!"

The mechanic had already dropped his wrench, wiped his oil-stained palms on his apron twice, and tears of excitement streamed from his eyes.

"I heard, I heard! Mom, Dad, do you see? Human Civilization is no longer the Human Civilization that other Alien Race once treated as fat meat! Under the Emperor's guidance, we have successfully eliminated an Alien Race!"

"Mommy!"

A little girl with pigtails tugged on her mother's faded work pants and said in a childish tone.

"Will those man-eating Zerg never come again?"

The young mother squatted down, tears carving two white tracks through the flour on her cheeks; she shook her head slightly and squeezed out a smile.

"No, not the Zerg, but those Zerg will definitely be brought to justice by the Emperor, and the Emperor will definitely wipe them out too!"

As she spoke, her trembling finger pointed to the red flag hanging in their home. At this moment, the sunlight outside the window shone on the red flag, casting a golden glow on the Double-Headed Eagle spreading its wings upon it.

A deafening symphony of steam whistles came from the industrial zone; the three short and one long blast was the Triumphant Horn created by the workers themselves.

The Furnace operators took off their protective masks, smiles blooming on their faces scorched red by the high heat. They struck the alloy floor with steel rods, and the sparks and clanging sounds merged into a metallic hymn.

"The Emperor's appearance saved us from our past fears, praise the Emperor!"

"Hahaha, this is just the beginning; we will follow the Emperor's footsteps, follow the Emperor's ideals, and contribute to Human Civilization!"

"It had to be the Emperor; besides the Emperor, who else could lead us to victory after the Council messed things up like that!"

"You can't say it like that; the main culprits are the nobles in the Inner City. They are corroding everything and putting Human Civilization in danger!"

A group of workers loudly expressed their views amidst the roar of the machines, but the smiles on their faces lingered for a long time.

They had thought this day would come, but they hadn't expected it to be so soon!
