RNP Chapter 54 High-Level Meeting
Chapter 54 High-Level Meeting
In Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, the sky was overcast.
The wind howled and the rain poured down all day long, as if a typhoon had arrived, making everyone feel heavy-hearted.
In the bedroom, Qin Xi watched over the sleeping Xiao Yaoyao, her beautiful face filled with sorrow and grief.
Her parents had already noticed something was wrong with her at the dinner table, but they didn't ask any further questions.
Qin Xi didn't know how to bring up the news to her parents, to tell them that Yun Chen's parents might have perished.
She was still completely blank-minded and couldn't accept the news!
Yun Chen returned at seven o'clock in the evening.
Qin Xi rushed forward and hugged him, tears streaming down her face.
She felt very sad all day.
She knew that Yun Chen had been out all day to investigate what had happened to her parents back then.
Yun Chen held Qin Xi and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Qin Xi asked, "Any results?"
Yun Chen hugged her tightly and said, "They must still be alive somewhere in this world, but with my current abilities, I can't find them!"
He was puzzled. What unknown secrets did this planet, this world hold? Why, with his Immortal Emperor level cultivation, could he not find his parents?
Qin Xi looked distressed and stopped asking questions. She simply held him quietly, finding comfort and companionship enough.
Soon after, Yun Chen told her his speculation: his parents might still be alive, but they had gone missing.
Qin Xi said, "If possible, even if there is only a sliver of hope left, we must never give up searching for them."
The two shared similar ideas.
Yun Chen told Qin Xi his thoughts.
"Tomorrow, let's go to the Xianyou Mountains!"
He was going to hunt down his parents at the place where they last disappeared. According to the information, their last known location was a mountain village in the Xianyou Mountains.
After all, no one knows the truth.
Because of the sudden appearance of the Mountain Treasure back then, a great battle broke out among various forces deep in the Xianyou Mountains. If Chen Beifeng had not deployed several Dongfeng nuclear bombs as a warning, the scope of the impact would have been much wider!
The magnitude 8 earthquake that struck back then even turned a county town with a population of over 500,000 into ruins overnight, and countless villages and towns around the mountains were also wiped out.
Qin Xi hugged him tightly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
The two slept in each other's arms, while a fierce storm raged outside.
That night, the upper classes of the entire Xia Kingdom were in turmoil.
Many forces were filled with unease. In just one day, more than a dozen major families in Jiangnan were wiped out. This not only made many families in Zhongzhou feel uneasy, but also had a significant deterrent effect on all regions of the country.
This is absolutely terrifying.
Chang'an in the Central Plains is the highest government in the secular world.
When news came that the Beiyang government might launch a war, all the leaders of the government were in an uproar.
"Has the Beiyang government gone mad?"
"Do they really want us to fight to the death?!"
"Only a few decades after the war, and they've already become arrogant again?!"
In a secret meeting room, a large group of people gathered, each of whom could be considered a war god in the secular world!
This time, the information we received was very reliable.
Therefore, a group of people immediately convened an emergency meeting.
This is a very serious matter; it's not something to be taken lightly.
What does this mean? World War V is about to break out!
Despite the peaceful appearance within the Xia Kingdom at present, crises are actually surging. The government has long made various preparations to deal with them. Whether at the government level or in the martial arts world, there has been constant open and covert struggles with the various defeated countries from the past!
Xia Guo has been trying to catch traitors, kill lackeys, and eliminate enemy agents and spies, especially those traitorous business families, who need to be eliminated one by one. The overnight annihilation of a bunch of business families in Jiangnan made these people feel very gratified!
One person immediately lost their temper: "We should have completely defeated them back then and wiped them out completely!"
Some of them were veterans who participated in the four World Wars, and they were all war gods, the pinnacle of human potential in the secular world.
"Yes, we should have wiped them all out back then to prevent future troubles. Under heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king. We should have unified the entire planet back then, achieving the true great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, ensuring that only one true civilization exists on this planet!"
Half of the people felt indignant, thinking that the choices made after the war were too lenient!
Now, these guys have actually risen from the ashes and are making a comeback. Do they want to emulate what happened two centuries ago, with the Eight-Nation Alliance launching a war against the entire Xia Kingdom?
"Fight if you want! Who's afraid of who!"
"This time, it's the same old rule: whichever country declares war first, we'll attack Red Chrysanthemum Country first and wipe them out completely!"
"First, we'll blow their mouths shut. This time, we won't give them any chance to beg for mercy. We won't stop until we've sunk their entire island!"
"That's settled then, let's fight!"
"However, we will still do our best to ensure that the lives of our people are not affected. This time, we will truly demonstrate our strength and capabilities to the world!"
The secret meeting room wasn't as serious as one might expect. A group of brilliant and capable warriors were discussing things in a noisy, bustling atmosphere, much like a marketplace, which left onlookers dumbfounded.
Looking at these noisy war gods, the current supreme commander of Xia Kingdom shook his head and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
I don't understand what went wrong with the Beiyang government.
Who gave them the audacity to attempt to start World War V, when the leader of a defeated nation was already at war?
The war gods were in uproar, clearly furious.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down!"
"This place is going to turn into a farmers' market!"
The supreme commander spoke, his tone somewhat helpless.
After a few words of chatter, the crowd quieted down.
The news brought by the Dragon Group's team shocked the commander-in-chief.
This corroborates the findings of the top-secret intelligence department in Zhongzhou: the defeated nations of that year have secretly formed an alliance behind the backs of Xia Kingdom, and their respective supernatural organizations have also assembled.
Among the high-ranking officials of the secular government of the entire Xia Kingdom, only a handful of people knew of the existence of the Dragon Group. The Supreme Commander was well aware that with such a powerful foundation, he was naturally full of confidence in the strength of the Xia Kingdom.
However, as a guide to civilization, he had to consider more. Even if the Fifth World War really broke out, his goal was to reduce the casualties caused by the war to the people of Xia Kingdom and to ensure that every ordinary citizen could live in the underground city and not be affected by the nuclear war.
After all, the Xia Kingdom has a civilization that has lasted for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years or more. No matter how times change, only people are the foundation of civilization. Whether it is the ancient cultivation world, the martial arts world, or the technological world, they can never exist without people!
If other countries knew his thoughts, they would definitely think he was crazy.
Because throughout history, every war has resulted in countless civilian casualties. World War I and World War II alone killed hundreds of millions of people. Even during the technologically advanced World War III and IV, no country could or would have been able to prevent any civilian casualties from nuclear weapons.
Simply put, whenever war breaks out, it is always the ordinary people who suffer the most, and it is impossible for the people to avoid casualties.
In the past, such a thing would have been almost unimaginable.
However, the outcome of the fourth war truly made all countries feel the terror of the Xia Kingdom. Externally, the Xia Kingdom not only defeated all the leading countries on Blue Star, but also kept the casualties of its people to a minimum. Under the bombardment of various nuclear and laser weapons, the number of casualties in the country was kept to within ten million!
It's important to understand that the outbreak of World War IV wiped out nearly 70% of the world's population, which is billions of people. Yet, China suffered the fewest nuclear casualties, less than ten million!
