Chapter 198 The Eve of War

Li Tianran sat in the helicopter, watching the changing scenery below through the observation window. The once prosperous land had become scarred by disaster and war, but at the same time, disaster was also promoting the strengthening of human civilization.

Evolution and new technologies were emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, driven by the pressure of war, allowing the power of the human race to rapidly increase.

Now, even without counting Kuangxi Island, the overall strength of human civilization was at least twice what it used to be.

The humans who survived the baptism of war were countless times more tenacious than before.

"Governor, how should we respond to the full recovery of the ancient civilization this time?" An aide Li Tianran had brought with him asked cautiously, "Can we win?"

Li Tianran narrowed his eyes.

This time, when he left Kuangxi Island, he only brought two staff members responsible for handling miscellaneous affairs. They had joined Kuangxi Island for quite some time and were among the original members of Kuangxi Island, having experienced many wars and major events.

But even they seemed to lack confidence at this moment.

Li Tianran sighed softly.

The psychological shadow that the ancient civilization cast on human civilization was too strong. Not to mention ordinary human countries, even the people around him had become uneasy and lacked confidence!

"Since the world's cataclysm, I have experienced many situations like this, facing powerful enemies with weak strength..." Li Tianran's eyes seemed to flash with light, "From fighting against Bai Jingyan, against the Umbrella Corporation, to fighting against the beast tide, and even against the entire human world!"

"I have experienced countless wars that seemed extremely unfavorable to me, and many times, others thought I couldn't resist, thought I would be completely destroyed!"

"But I won time and time again, and I have come to this point, slapping the faces of those who thought I would lose!"

The two aides on the helicopter listened attentively to Li Tianran's story, their eyes fixed on him.

"In those wars, no matter who thought I would fail, I didn't care! Because I always insisted that I would eventually win! No matter who didn't have confidence in me, I had confidence in myself!" Li Tianran clenched his fist, "This is not arrogance, nor is it pride, but a belief!"

"Without this belief, one would already be at a disadvantage before the war even started! If you believe in your heart that you will definitely fail, how can you possibly win?"

The expressions of the two staff members also gradually became excited as they listened to Li Tianran's words.

Yes...

No matter what kind of pressure you are under, no matter what kind of enemy you face, you must first maintain your confidence and believe that you will definitely win, otherwise your mind will be crushed before the war even begins!

...

Buzz buzz!

The sound of helicopter propellers cutting through the air rang over the Human Alliance headquarters. Representatives from various countries stood in the square, eagerly waiting. Their gazes were focused on the helicopter with the Kuangxi Island logo, and the excitement in their eyes almost materialized.

Li Tianran's arrival was of great significance to them.

At least they didn't have to worry about the headquarters being invaded by apostles, and their lives wouldn't be in any danger!

The helicopter landed smoothly on the square. Li Tianran opened the hatch and strode down.

Representatives from various countries swarmed up.

"Governor Li, it's a good thing you're here to take charge!"

"We've all been waiting for you!"

"Do you remember me? Back then..."

The representatives from various countries were very enthusiastic, vying to come forward to shake hands with Li Tianran, hoping to become familiar with him.

Because the heads of various countries needed to preside over work in their own residences, they would not come to the Alliance headquarters. Those who were sent here were some high-level officials from various countries. Li Tianran looked at their fawning expressions and had no interest in exchanging pleasantries or shaking hands with them. He directly said, "Please be quiet, everyone. I have something to announce."

Hearing Li Tianran's words, everyone immediately shut up and became silent.

"As you all know, the ancient civilization is about to fully recover, and we are about to face the most difficult battle! As the outermost line of defense for the human world, we will inevitably bear the fiercest impact..." Li Tianran looked around, "And the current human defense line, Kani City, has been severely damaged, and Kuangxi Island is far away, creating two major gaps in the defense line!"

"The vacancy of Kuangxi Island is currently being defended by Sky Citadel."

"But Kani City has no garrison!"

"I now need to conscript an army to garrison the ruins of Kani City. I will send Pioneers mixed in with this army! In addition, I need a large number of senior officials to participate in the management of this army and go to Kani City with them!"

"Everyone, is there anyone who would volunteer to serve as the commander of this army and go on the expedition with the army?"

As soon as Li Tianran finished speaking, the entire square became silent.

Everyone looked at each other, eyes wide, and remained silent.

What a joke!

Everyone knew that Kani City had just been destroyed, was almost equivalent to not having any heavy protection measures, and was the weakest link in the defense line!

The ancient civilization was about to recover soon. Now, not to mention going to Kani City, even going to other defense cities was extremely dangerous!

Who the hell would actively seek death?

Everyone lowered their heads, focused on their noses and hearts, and reversed their previous enthusiastic attitude, all looking like eggplants beaten by frost.

"Is no one willing to go?" Li Tianran asked again. He suddenly smiled, "Okay, in that case, I won't force it."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you that because Kani City was severely damaged, while sending troops to garrison it, I will also send the Kunlun Behemoth to be stationed there!"

"As for me... I killed two apostles, and the ancient civilization must hate me to the bone now. If they fully recover, they will definitely try to assassinate and behead me. Staying by my side might be very dangerous!"

"Although I am only one person, the war against me is no less than the one on the border!"

Li Tianran finished speaking these words with a light smile, then turned and walked towards the Alliance headquarters building.

Behind him, the officials looked at each other.

The reason why they were looking forward to Li Tianran's arrival was because he had the Kunlun Behemoth as protection by his side, but now Li Tianran had sent this great weapon out. If there really was an attack by the ancient civilization here...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

"Governor, you must consider your own safety!"

"You are the spiritual totem of the entire human civilization. You must not have any problems. I suggest immediately calling back the Kunlun Behemoth to protect me... to protect your safety!"

"Yes, yes! You are so important, how can you not have enough protection?"

"We firmly demand the recall of the Kunlun Behemoth!"

Li Tianran listened to the words of "utmost concern" for him coming from behind, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Even after the war had lasted for so long, there were still a large number of high-level officials in the world who were greedy for life and afraid of death. They had no responsibility or responsibility, only extreme importance to their own lives.

"You are all dismissed. Go to the logistics department and get a mop each and go clean the toilets!" Li Tianran turned around and said expressionlessly, "Even the high-level officials are so timid, no wonder the morale of our army is crumbling!"

If the soldiers are cowards, so is one general; if the generals are cowards, so is the whole army!

In the era when the ancient civilization was about to fully recover, these greedy and fearful guys must not be entrusted with important tasks!
