After the Shenzhou fleet stopped at the North temperate border, the survivors were soon requested by Zhong Mingzhao for communication, and a new round of negotiations between the two sides began.

This time, we can see the opponent's attention from the lineup where the opponent appears. There are 2 marshals, 5 generals, and more than ten special envoys who have made a debut in this online video conference.

The two marshals came from the imperial capital of the Eastern United Empire, and the largest city of the Southern City Federation, the Eternal Base City.

He is the main person in charge of his respective forces.

The 5 generals come from 5 medium and large base cities, 3 consortiums, and 2 empires.

It is worth mentioning that the Eastern Empire only has three base cities in total, so they are generally big cities, much larger than the base cities of the consortium. Among them, the imperial capital is the only giant city in the civilization circle, which is very magnificent.

The remaining envoys came from the small bases of the consortium, and they only listened to each other and had no say.

What is strange is that the third force in the civilized circle, the Northern Tribal Alliance, still did not come here to get involved this time, and it seemed that there was no interest in the refugees going north.

If we look at geographical location, the tribal alliance is not only close to the cold zone, but also a little westward, in the northwest of the consortium.

The Republic of China is located in the east, and the route to the north does not pass through the territory of the tribal alliance. It seems that it can be explained if the other party is not interested, but it is still a little strange. You should send a representative here, at least pay attention.

Although the Union and the Empire were suspicious, they could not control the priests of the gods and gods, so they could only temporarily give up the plan to pull them to intercept the Republic.

After the meeting began, Zhong Mingzhao, the only one in the Republic of China, was present, facing more than a dozen races of different forms without fear, with the style of verbalizing and fighting against scholars.

To be honest, the other party doesn't want to fight this battle either.

With the tenacity and stubbornness shown by the Republic of China, if they want to surrender, they will have to destroy their main fleet, right?

Not to mention how much the price is, even if you win, there is no benefit.

The most important fleet has been exhausted, and there are still some production ships and supplies left, and two companies will have to share it. Maybe they can't even get back the cost.

What's more, there are millions of extra mouths to eat?

If you lose, it will be even more fatal. If you spend money, not only will the Republic of China not stop it, but the other refugee forces will also have hope. If you want to go north in the future, how can you control yourself? If you can't beat insects, you will still be able to fight.

Therefore, the reason why the northern remnants accepted Zhong Mingzhao's negotiation invitation so happily was mainly to struggle for a while and persuade the other party to go back. What if the other party could pay attention?

Although there is little hope...

Seeing that the other party had unrealistic expectations, Zhong Mingzhao felt relieved and began to argue with the other party calmly.

In short, it expresses the swaying look of moving north but with some concerns, which makes the other party feel that there is a glimmer of hope, but there is actually nothing at all.

Very slanderous.

...

After the negotiations started here, the Republic of China was still operating smoothly, and Pangu City still became a super factory, with millions of people divided into different batches, and the project was constantly maintaining operation.

The surrounding engineering ships are like hardworking bees, repairing this huge beehive from outside.

The old shells in Pangu City were replaced one by one, the waste materials were recast and recast, and new ingredients were added to make new alloys, and then reinforced.

The flashy designs used by the nobles on the surface were removed one by one, replaced by military fortress modifications. The water even left space on the flight deck on the upper floor. In the future, a large number of fighter jets will take off and land on this steel island.

However, the original top-floor botanical garden was left behind and a greenhouse was upgraded to add a touch of green to the future Arctic Circle.

Most of the transaction floors in the city are no longer needed. The re-planned new urban area will be neatly located on the 3rd to 4th floors, providing the life of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

The upper 1 to 2 floors are military floors, the lower 5 to 6 floors are production floors, and the lower 7th floor is still the power floor.

In this way, after the city is completed, the newly born Pangu City will become a mobile super fortress integrating combat, life, production and scientific research, and its capabilities will not belong to any medium-sized base city.

It is considered to help the northern remnants fulfill their verbal promises to give the Republic a war fortress.

...

All garrison fleets have entered level one alert, and all defense frigates are deployed at the core of the fleet.

Once the northern remnants suddenly attack, they will be the last barrier in Pangu City.

Compared with the tension and busyness of the Republic of China, the situation among the survivors is exactly the same.

Although they are also in a state of combat readiness, they are a little lazy no matter how they look at it!

Moreover, this feeling does not appear in the Teleposits in some base cities, but in most base cities.

Whether it is soldiers in combat readiness positions, commanders, logistics, or even ordinary pedestrians and residents in the base city, they often lack energy recently.

People yawned all over the sky, their eyes were half open, they were not energetic when they were talking, and they were not very energetic when they were involved in sports. They just were too lazy to move.

Moreover, the number of patients admitted to various medical structures has increased significantly, but it is not a serious disease. Almost all of them are infected by patients due to insufficient immunity, such as influenza, pneumonia, and gastroenteritis.

Doctors from various medical institutions are too lazy to work now, so these patients with simple conditions are sent back home after being assigned to special medicines, and they do not even need to be hospitalized.

Even the patients themselves did not take them seriously, so apart from the more complaints in society, they did not cause much reaction.

Even because everyone was too lazy to move, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and the remaining residents who had no important matters returned to their homes and stayed up.

They were lying comfortably on the bed, watching TV with air conditioning, and all three meals were delivered to their door by takeaway drone.

People can't help but sigh:

Life is so easy to satisfy. What is the purpose of busyness when I went out early and came back late?

It seems that I was really tired a while ago. I should have a good rest for a holiday to make a better job in the future.

This is what you deserve!

As a result, each unit has started receiving holiday applications from more and more employees one week ago.

Originally, the boss and leaders complained that they were lazy and unmotivated, but soon a yawn came and they suddenly realized that it seemed nothing wrong to fix a fake, and they could accompany their families.

So, bosses who originally regarded time as money closed their companies one after another, announced collective holidays and the resumption of work will be notified separately.

It was like the sun coming out from the west!

For a time, orders from various entertainment platforms and catering service companies increased sharply, because more and more people stayed at home and did not go out, and needed online services and delivery services...

This should have been a good opportunity to make extra money, but employees of major service companies have also returned home on holidays, and the accumulated business can only be completed by not-so-intelligent robots.

Fortunately, the originally picky customers have become vain now. They are too lazy to quarrel with the service company. They should wait until they have finished their leave.

The world is so wonderful, but I am so irritable. It's not good, it's not good~

Even the city gangsters who had been competing for territory had no desire to fight. They were too lazy to open their mouths even when they threatened each other for a few words. Finally, they threw away the guys in their hands everywhere, and went home to rest while yawning.

For a time, unprecedented peace emerged in the entire Union and the territory of the Eastern Empire.

People stay at home and rest peacefully, and throw all the work, bad news, and the approaching Zerg.

After forgetting all this, people suddenly realized that the world was so beautiful!

...

Civilians in the civilized circle can rest and companies can close their business, but the military personnel and government officials on duty obviously cannot.

Even if they are not happy, they can only go to work listlessly and stand guard.

The soldiers were wearing heavy equipment and leaning against each other. The weapons in their hands were casually placed aside, forgetting the order of standing by at all times.

The operator in the control room lay listlessly on the console, switching the data on the screen with his hands.

The commanders gathered together on the sofa in the lounge, gathering around a table of tea and complaining slowly about their superiors' drag. If they started fighting early, they would not be bored to drink tea here. The more they drank the tea, the more they drank...

In the end, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire was slightly affected, shortening the daily discussion time from 4 hours to 2 hours.

In fact, he had discovered the abnormalities in society and ordered the relevant departments to conduct an investigation immediately, and at the same time confirmed the status of several secret troops in his hands.

Shortening the time of the meeting is also to take care of the ministers who are prone to fatigue. His own body is quite strong, after all, he has very strong cultivation.

But one thing he did not expect was that the situation was much more serious and much faster than he thought.

Since the strange symptoms appeared and the Emperor of the Empire ordered an investigation, only a short week later, the day after the arrival of the Shenzhou fleet, the situation suddenly lost control.

The strange phenomenon seemed to have broken through a critical point, and suddenly increased in the evening of the next day, and reached the peak directly on the third day.

Due to lack of concentration of mental power, many work delays and even errors have occurred, and work accidents have increased sharply.

Administrative delays lead to inefficient government operation, while negligence in engineering directly leads to the injury of a large number of engineering personnel.

What do you doze off and knock down the shelves, what hooks are not locked to cause equipment to fall off, what are you too lazy to implement safety regulations and causing fires in the factory, what are the late arrival of disaster relief personnel, which lead to serial explosions at the accident site...

More and more accident cases are sent to the administrative center. Although the administrative personnel cannot be energetic, the preset ai will not be affected.

Ai, who had been wiping human butts according to the established procedures, was finally triggered an alarm the next evening after Zhong Mingzhao started the negotiations!

The society is operating abnormally!

There are major safety hazards in the base city!

More than 60% of executors are suspected of losing their ability to deal with emergencies!

Civilization has a major risk of paralysis, and immediately issue a warning to all members and the highest decision-making center!

If the situation worsens and cannot be curbed, the main Ai will follow the core agreement, temporarily take over social operations and fully implement solutions, and protect the continuation of civilization!

The Emperor of the Empire was awakened by Ai's warning in the middle of the night. Even though he was as powerful as him, he still didn't want to get up for a moment.

However, the emperor quickly adjusted his state through meditation and sat in front of the private control terminal.

Ai's report made him look solemn.

When he ordered the investigation, the strange phenomenon was not obvious. At best, people with symptoms could have 10% to 15%. The symptoms were mild and there were no pathological manifestations. At best, they were mentally exhausted and needed rest, and they could not find out any disease they had.
To be continued...
