Chapter 567: Commissioned by the authorities, the chess game level is raised again
"Hello, I'm Peng Mingjing, Commander-in-Chief of the 12th Military Region."
In the reception room of the military district, a woman with an upright posture and a heroic temperament leaned forward slightly and extended her arm towards Qin Miao as a gesture of friendship.
The neat short hair looks slightly gentler under the refraction of the light, and the progress bar floating above the head reads: the kindness value is full.
Qin Miao also extended her hand in return, "Hello, I'm Qin Miao."
Holding hands, reading the supernatural power:
Strengthening system: "Break the formation".
Auxiliary system: "Sea of Memory".
This very young-looking commander is a dual-system psychic.
She is very strong. This is Qin Miao’s first instinct.
"Please sit down." Peng Mingjing's face was serious, and he got straight to the point. "I've been waiting for you. From now on, I will fully cooperate with any of your actions and follow your arrangements. You can trust me completely."
The words are astonishing.
Qin Miao anticipated the various reasons why she was invited to the "G-1" base, including cooperation, alliance, and transaction.
She also anticipated how the base commander here would discuss and negotiate with her; what conditions he would offer to exchange resources with her.
But she could never have expected that the conversation would unfold like this.
The officially dispatched commander, the highest authority in the entire G-1 base, said, "I will follow your instructions from now on?" in just their first meeting.
Is this reasonable?
Judging from the number of people alone, the "G-1" base is at least five times the size of the "Genesis" base.
In the absence of mutual understanding, when the official credibility is obviously higher, and when all resources and conditions have not yet been made public.
The other party directly claimed a subordinate position.
At this moment, Qin Miao wanted to stand in the other person's shoes and ask: Why?
Why does the other party trust you so much? Character, personality, and ability are all things that need to be repeatedly observed and measured during contact.
However, the other party made such a big promise without knowing almost anything about her.
"Cooperate with the operation" was still within the realm of friendship, but "follow the instructions" was tantamount to placing the fate of the entire base in her hands.
But under the concept of "distinguishing good from evil", these words are considered to be true, without any falsehood.
Qin Miao frowned, a look of confusion on her face.
Peng Mingjing is a very efficient person. She pursues efficiency to the extreme. When the goal is clear, she is unwilling to waste even half a second.
She then saluted Qin Miao with perfect propriety and explained succinctly, "Base Commander Qin, before the establishment of the G-1 base, the Central Military Commission issued me a top-priority secret order. It was to find you and follow you."
What is said under "Distinguishing Good from Evil" is true.
Just a few words were enough to stir up a storm in Qin Miao's heart.
This behavior, which implies "entrustment", directly doubled Qin Miao's pressure.
Her thoughts suddenly turned back, and a woman in complicated palace clothes suddenly appeared in her mind.
In those fragments of memory, there is a figure that connects all the past and the future; a figure that chants sacrificial texts in the ancient battlefield; a figure that is followed and supported by countless strange people - Qin Zheng.
She really had a big plan!
As her memories continue to be picked up, she encounters more and more "old people" who trust her and follow her without reason. Qin Miao knows that this chess game belonging to "her" will definitely not be small.
But today, the highest authority of the military base "G-1", Commander Peng Mingjing, with the designation and dispatch from the national level, suddenly "surrendered" to her.
The so-called "chess game" was unexpectedly elevated to a higher level.
How could Qin Miao, who was at the center of the chess game, not be frightened?
Even if Peng Mingjing said that he chose to go with her to seek survival and a way out because he was impressed by her special abilities, combat effectiveness, and the resources she had, Qin Miao would feel more at ease.
But Peng Mingjing said that he received the secret order before the establishment of "G-1". At that time, Qin Miao was probably not yet the base commander, had not established "Genesis", and did not have the almost overwhelming combat power it has today.
This is no longer a simple question of "trust" or not.
This shows that her future path has already been predicted, or "set" in advance.
Qin Zheng, ah Qin Zheng, what level of things is she carrying behind her?
Qin Miao had already guessed that the ultimate goal of this "chess game" was to "save the world", but...
How come it really means "saving the world" in the literal sense?
Preserve the flame of civilization, ensure the inheritance of human bloodline, and build a home for some survivors to thrive...
Isn’t this the kind of “salvation” she understands?
According to her pace and expectations, she doesn't even need to have too deep of a connection with the authorities; being in a cooperative state is the most ideal.
But how did things suddenly go astray to such a bizarre extent?
What's that feeling like? If I had to use an analogy, it's this: I came from humble beginnings, thinking I could be a mountain king, doing good deeds and living in seclusion, gathering talented people and saving the poor, and that would be great. And then the emperor suddenly issued an edict, declaring me the heir to the throne?
The dragon robe was put on me, and I was pushed onto the throne. The civil and military officials knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Please issue an order to wipe out the barbarian soldiers! Please make a decision and restore peace and tranquility to our country as soon as possible!"
What’s the difference between this and forcing someone to do something?
She had only just reached the stage where she had to examine the character of the residents before accepting them into her own base. If she accepted this official commission, wouldn't she have to start thinking about saving all the people?
Although both of them are about saving people, developing, and clearing zombies, their starting points and perspectives on things are fundamentally different!
However, before Qin Miao could sort out her thoughts, Peng Mingjing, who focused on efficiency, had already begun her further handover.
"Sir, this is the contact radio station and basic information for military bases in other provinces. It includes the coordinates, number of personnel, general information about psychics, material reserves, and weapons reserves of each military base..."
Information will be updated in the channel at 8:00 AM Kyoto time every day, so you can check it at any time.
I'm not sure whether the acting commanders of other military bases have received the same secret order. You can contact them yourself or ask them on your behalf.
Due to the transfer, my original authority is greater than the acting commander of the provincial military bases. If you have any arrangements, we can further discuss and connect with other bases."
Sir? Me?
Good, good, the change of address is so smooth.
I never thought that a commander like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also proficient in this ancestral skill of forcing people to do things!
Qin Miao's temples were throbbing.
She looked directly into Peng Mingjing's clear eyes, and asked each word seriously, whispering a question from the depths of her soul:
"Your central... upper echelons... are, are there no one left?"
Is there no one else? That's why they chose her to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
