Chapter 229

At this time, the group of high-level officials did not know that the internal strife was about to begin. They were conducting the press conference in an orderly manner.

Strangely, only Member Hou Teng and Dr. Touma were present, and Member Lei Da was nowhere to be seen.

Commander Gao Cang asked people to urge him while watching Tuqiao You take the stage under the spotlight.

Tuqiao You stood on the podium of the press conference, his gaze sweeping over the reporters and audience below, with a calm smile on his face.

Although his body had not fully recovered, his aura was still powerful, as if everything was under control.

Tuqiao You's voice was steady and powerful, spreading throughout the venue through the microphone:

"As the core force of Earth's defense, the Victory Team has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting humans and maintaining world peace."

"But the era is progressing, and threats are constantly evolving. In order to meet new challenges, we must constantly innovate and improve our combat effectiveness."

"Therefore, after careful consideration and strict selection, we have made personnel adjustments to the Victory Team."

"Every member of the new Victory Team is an elite I personally selected and has my deep trust."

"They not only possess outstanding abilities but also possess firm beliefs and a high sense of responsibility."

"I believe they will be even better than the previous members and even more competent for this arduous task."

Personally selected, deeply trusted!

As soon as these two words came out, Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng, sitting in the back, twitched slightly, desperately suppressing his emotions.

Must hold on, cannot show abnormality.

And the reporters who didn't know the truth, and the citizens in front of the TV, were very moved.

They thought to themselves, as expected of the great Director Tuqiao You, even though he was attacked by evil aliens a few days ago and almost died in the line of duty, he was still working for the future of Earth.

After Tuqiao You went down, it was Commander Gao Cang, who concurrently served as the captain of the Victory Team, who took the stage to speak.

What he said was also similar clichés:

"The new members not only possess extremely high personal quality but also possess a high degree of team collaboration spirit."

"I believe that under their efforts, the Victory Team will continue to guard the peace of Earth and repel all threats!"

"Everyone, please look, this is the Victory Feiyan 2 piloted by our Member Nei Tian, which will fly all over Japan today to celebrate with the whole country!"

After speaking, the camera gave it to the outside.

I saw a Victory Feiyan 2 rushing out from the sea base, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and flying towards the outside.

Qi Ming saw this: "Zhun, this guy is handed over to you."

Senior Ji Shi Zhun nodded. He took out the Energy Burst Gun, folded the gun handle, and then fired a signal flare into the sky.

The next moment, the flying ship "Shi Zhiyi" descended from the sky.

After Senior Ji Shi Zhun lay in, he controlled the Shi Zhiyi to chase the Victory Feiyan 2.

At the same time, many soldiers of the Defense Force were also watching the press conference of their competitors.

"Qi Ming was actually dismissed? Is it true? Am I not dreaming?" Liu Chunya, who was leaning on crutches, was also unbelievable.

Hiiragi Hiroyuki, who was sitting opposite him, also knew a lot about Qi Ming, who had brilliant combat achievements:

"Such a talent was actually transferred away from the front line? What did he do? He couldn't have beaten the Director, right?"

"Marginalizing such a talent, is TPC forgetting itself recently and wanting to destroy itself?"

The next moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

After he connected, Qi Ming's voice came from inside: "Hello, is this Major General Hiiragi Hiroyuki? I am Qi Ming. We met when dealing with the Taro Qiesi incident."

Hiiragi Hiroyuki's eyes suddenly lit up. He, who was always calm, greeted in an enthusiastic tone:

"Member Qi Ming, right? I understand that you have been treated unfairly at TPC."

"Come to the Defense Force. Here, ability is supreme, which is very suitable for your performance."

"I guarantee that I will give you the treatment and status that match your own ability."

Liu Chunya, who was on the side, heard that Qi Ming had come to find them and hurriedly leaned over:

"Is it Qi Ming? You don't have to worry about the previous unpleasantness at all. What's past is past, and my leg is almost healed."

"If you can come to be my comrade-in-arms, I am very willing."

He felt that the reason why Qi Ming wanted to protect monsters was all because he was corrupted by TPC.

As long as he came to the Defense Force, he would definitely be corrected.

Qi Ming on the other end of the phone was probably stunned:

"Um... thank you for your affirmation, but I came here just to let the Defense Force be prepared. The fleet of blood-sucking plants will soon attack from South America."

"We at TPC will have a lot of tossing inside for a while, and the foreign war will have to rely on your Defense Force to top it first."

Hiiragi Hiroyuki felt a chill in his heart: "Is the news reliable?"

Qi Ming: "If you have collected my information, you will know that I will never talk nonsense about such things."

After the phone hung up, Hiiragi Hiroyuki and Liu Chunya thought for a long time with gloomy faces.

Hiiragi Hiroyuki: "No matter what, let's remind Commander Sawara to be prepared first. If nothing happens, it will be treated as an exercise."

"If something happens, then it will be the time for our Defense Force to save the world!"

…………………………

On the other side, the press conference reached the reporter Q&A session. A male reporter raised his hand: "May I ask about Member Qi Ming, who single-handedly killed a large group of Crow Aliens before? Does such a talent also have to retreat to the second line?"

Commander Gao Cang was prepared for this. He said unhurriedly:

"The Victory Team is not a stage for someone to perform acrobatics, but a team battle."

"And a certain member previously mistook the platform for his own ability."

"If new members hold equipment developed by the Victory Team, under close team collaboration, they will only do better."

Reiko from KCB raised her hand to speak: "Can they also punch down a five-meter-tall monster?"

Hearing this, Commander Gao Cang's tone stiffened.

This is the reason why he subconsciously stepped back when facing Qi Ming before. This guy's combat record is really too fierce.

He coughed: "In individual combat, this member may have some strengths, and he had an extraordinary performance by coincidence."

"But he is always derelict in his duty, doesn't come to daily training, doesn't write every mission report, and is always nowhere to be seen when on duty."

"Even if such a person can fight, he is a scourge to the team."

"And our new members abide by their duties and are conscientious. They are the good members that citizens can trust."

"Director Tuqiao You thinks so, and I think so too, and I dare to guarantee this to everyone."

As Commander Gao Cang spoke, he also realized his gaffe. No matter what, it was quite inappropriate to belittle a former member who had many honors in front of the public.

Fortunately, he took it back at the end... Thinking of this, he looked at Director Tuqiao You and found him nodding with satisfaction at himself.

Reporters discussed a lot, and they also felt that this was logical.

After all, punching down a five-meter monster is indeed too unreasonable. It seems that there are indeed many tricks and moisture inside.

The advantages of this Member Qi Ming are not enough to cover up his shortcomings, so he was "optimized" away.

Subsequently, it was the member's speaking time.

I saw Hou Teng, mimicked by Kaironia, walking to the stage with a stiff face and speaking into the microphone.

"I love humans very much." This was Hou Teng's opening remark.

Loving humans, so he will do his best to protect people—that's probably what he was going to say, the reporters thought.

As a result, Hou Teng's next words made everyone's faces change drastically.

"My clansmen also love humans very much, as well as the blood in your bodies."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, and the reporters were in an uproar.

After Qi Ming's reminder, Counselor Quan Teng and He Zhi, who had been guarding against him, gave a wink to their subordinates, and several security personnel immediately took out their guns.

"Are you going to flip the table?" Nagi Saijo and Antian and Shan Zhong were also on alert.

Because Qi Ming withstood the pressure, their Victory Hyper Guns were still in their hands.

Facing a crowd of bewildered and vigilant gazes, Hou Teng, standing in front of the camera, talked endlessly.

"So I hope everyone will not resist and become our slaves."

"In order to suck fresh human blood, we will allow you to live."

"Of course, you may not be able to accept living in captivity. So the fleet of our plant people will use absolute strength to disarm all your armed forces and force you to become our blood food!"

Tuqiao You on the side was stunned, and Commander Gao Cang also had a "seeing a ghost" expression.

"Member Hou Teng, are you talking in your sleep!" Commander Gao Cang was full of anger.

This press conference was the beginning of the Victory Team's new journey and an upward point for his future career. How could it be made so ugly.

"Not talking in sleep, this guy is an alien!" Zuo Bo Lijia, the crony of Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng, pointed a gun at Hou Teng.

Reporters and the audience in front of the TV were stunned, confused by this huge reversal.

The new Victory Team member who was deeply trusted is actually an alien race that wants to enslave humans!

Commander Gao Cang's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.

It's over, it's all over!

This is a huge scandal!

The next moment, ten plant people hiding in the crowd immediately revealed their true forms and opened fire on Tuqiao You's side.

"Director, be careful!" Tuqiao You's secretary threw Tuqiao You to the ground, but was shot several times in the back, and he died on the spot.

Blood splashed on Tuqiao You's face.

"Uh... uh..." Even Tuqiao You, who had experienced big storms and waves, couldn't help but tremble violently in his eye sockets.

"Yo, the good show has begun." Dr. Touma walked up clapping his hands.

"This guy is also an enemy!" Shan Zhong took out the Victory Hyper Gun and pulled the trigger at him, wanting to solve him first.

But it didn't hit.

It wasn't that his aim was insufficient, but that Dr. Touma removed the mimicry in an instant, restored to the Alien Slan of human size, and dodged the bullet at a very fast speed at the last moment.

This is the Alien Slan, his title is—【High-Speed Alien】!

"My God!" The reporters and the audience in front of the TV were shocked again.

This is also an alien!

This is the person personally selected by Director Tuqiao You and deeply trusted by him?

This is the new member that Staff Officer Gao Cang guaranteed to us that he abides by his duties and is conscientious?

How come they are all aliens?

Damn it, is TPC the nest of aliens?
