Chapter 146
Chu Ci opened the car window, took out his officer's certificate and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked at the officer's certificate for a few times, and after confirming that the content inside was true, he immediately saluted Chu Ci.
In any case, Chu Ci was a colonel of the Zhenhuang Army.
It was natural for the soldiers to respect him.
Chu Ci took back the officer's certificate handed back by the soldiers and asked:
"What happened ahead?"
The guard stood up straight:
"It is said that a powerful wild beast appeared at the Yellow River port ahead, and several ferries crossing the river were sunk by this wild beast."
"So the city lord ordered the ferry port here to be temporarily blocked and sent troops to kill the wild beast."
Hearing that a powerful wild beast appeared, Chu Ci was suddenly happy. What he was thinking about was whether he could devour this powerful wild beast.
So he said to the guarding soldier:
"I am also a member of the Zhenhuang Army. It is my duty to kill the wild beast. Let me in."
The two guarding soldiers looked at each other with hesitation.
Although the city lord ordered that outsiders should not be allowed to enter the blockade area.
But Chu Ci is a reserve colonel of the Zhenhuang Army after all.
It should not be a violation to let him enter the blockade area.
The two soldiers hesitated for a long time.
Finally, a soldier gritted his teeth and stretched his hand to the back.
The guard in a small pavilion next to him received the order and opened the fence.
Chu Ci was able to enter the blockade area.
The off-road vehicle drove forward for about 20 minutes, and Chu Ci saw the ferry center in front.
At this time, the entire ferry center has been under military control.
Soldiers patrolled everywhere around the center.
Looking further ahead, the Yellow River is rolling in front.
Chu Ci parked in the ferry parking lot, which is now empty.
No one stopped these actions.
After all, he was able to enter here, which means that he has obtained permission.
Chu Ci walked towards the core area of the ferry center.
During this time, he called a Zhenhuang Army officer in officer uniform and handed him his officer certificate. The captain looked at Chu Ci in awe.
"Captain, what instructions do you have?"
His tone was very respectful.
After all, in a place like Linhe City, the highest level he could get in touch with was the Major General of the Zhenhuang Army.
Chu Ci, a colonel, was already second only to the local Major General in the local Zhenhuang Army sequence.
Chu Ci said lightly:
"Take me to see the highest commander of your operation."
The captain officer pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly:
"Please follow me."
The captain took Chu Ci around and came to a meeting room in the ferry center.
The entire meeting room had been transformed into a temporary combat center.
When Chu Ci entered the meeting room, several surprised eyes looked at him.
Several people in the meeting room were wearing the uniforms of senior officers.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
The middle-aged man frowned when he saw Chu Ci coming in, and asked in confusion:
"Who is this?"
His tone was not too friendly.
Because Chu Ci was a stranger to him.
The captain next to him nudged Chu Ci's shoulder and whispered:
"This is our city lord Zhang Wen."
Chu Ci nodded, indicating that the captain could go out.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief, saluted forward, and left the meeting room.
At this time, in the meeting room, all the senior military officers and officials of Linhe City looked at Chu Ci with a strange and unfathomable look.
There was no hostility in their eyes, but more of a tentative meaning.
First, they didn't know whether Chu Ci was an enemy or a friend, and they didn't know why Chu Ci could let the captain of the army lead the way to the command center.
Second, they didn't know Chu Ci's specific identity.
If Chu Ci had any background, or even a special commissioner sent by the superiors, they would have a hard time defending themselves if they offended him rashly.
Several people looked at Chu Ci with suspicion.
Chu Ci did not want them to think too much.
Straight to the point, Chu Ci told them his identity directly:
"I am Chu Ci, who was awarded the rank of reserve colonel by Wang Chuan, the chief of the Magic City Military Region."
The middle-aged Mediterranean man in the lead, Mayor Zhang Wen, heard this title, and was silent for a while and then smiled:
"So you are someone under the old chief Wang Chuan, nice to meet you!"
Although he did not know Chu Ci, he was familiar with the name Wang Chuan.
After all, the Magic City Military Region is one of the eight major military regions in the country.
As long as you are in the Daxia system, you will definitely know the name of a soldier who can serve as the head of a military region.
Since he is someone sent by Wang Chuan, he must be treated well.
At this time, Zhang Wen still didn't know Chu Ci's performance in the Hundred Schools League.
Regarding the specific situation of the Hundred Schools League, the news has been blocked..
Except for the strong men above the eighth-level grandmaster and those who have participated in the competition in person, no one else knows.
If Zhang Wen knew that Chu Ci was the champion of the Hundred Schools League, he would definitely be more polite to him.
But even so, Zhang Wen was very respectful to him.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
Then, Chu Ci asked Zhang Wen:
"May I ask City Lord Zhang, what exactly happened on the Yellow River waterway?"
Zhang Wen sighed twice when he heard Chu Ci's question:
"Colonel Chu, you don't know, a dragon beast appeared on the Yellow River, blocked the waterway, and asked us to pay tribute to it every year. How can we agree to such a request?"
"This evil beast blocked the waterway, making our ferry unable to pass. I don't know how much economic loss it has caused to our Linjiang City."
"That's why we held a meeting here to prepare to eliminate it."
Zhang Wen looked a little worried.
In fact, he was not sure whether he could eliminate the dragon beast that blocked the waterway.
You know, this Jiaolong wild beast has extremely high purity dragon blood, and its strength is much stronger than wild beasts of the same level.
If this hunting operation fails, Zhang Wen even considers asking for reinforcements from other cities or even provinces.
Chu Ci became interested when he heard about Jiaolong wild beast.
He started practicing the Tyrannosaurus Rex body-building method related to dragon wild beasts.
During the practice, he also learned some characteristics of dragon wild beasts.
For example, dragons are inherently lustful...
Let's not talk about the above, there is another biggest characteristic of dragon wild beasts.
That is, they like to collect treasures!
In other words, there must be some rare treasures around the environment where they live!
When Chu Ci thought of this, he became more interested in hunting the Jiaolong wild beast that Zhang Wen mentioned.
He immediately asked:
"What is the level of Qi and blood of this dragon-like wild beast?"
Zhang Wen's forehead wrinkles deepened, and he replied:
"Level 6 peak..."
"Almost able to turn into a dragon..."
Hearing this, and hearing Zhang Wen's worried face, Chu Ci became even more excited.
He was not afraid of the peak of Level 6.
Just kill it and eat it!
Chu Ci said:
"City Lord Zhang, can I participate in this operation?"
Zhang Wen looked Chu Ci up and down, thinking:
"Seeing that this little brother is so young, he must be a genius who became famous at a young age. No wonder he is so arrogant."
"His current position is colonel, which is about the level of Level 5..."
"Although Level 5 cannot play a decisive role on this battlefield, it is better than nothing."
"If you want to join the battle, of course you can, but not now... "
Zhang Wen sighed softly and looked at Chu Ci:
"Colonel Chu, I welcome your contribution to this battle."
"If you want to deal with Jiaolong, please stay for a while."
"I have issued a call to recruit strong men near Linjiang to fight against Jiaolong together."
"After about three days, we can officially start the crusade."
Chu Ci shook his head:
"Three days is too long, I don't have time."
There are still people from the Zhou family chasing him behind him.
How can he wait for three days.
Hearing this, a hint of anger flashed across Zhang Wen's face.
In his opinion, Chu Ci's words were very rude.
Do you think it takes too long?
Does he want them to launch a crusade against Jiaolong without sufficient preparation?
It's just a joke!
His tone darkened:
"Other cities also have ferry crossings on the Yellow River. If Colonel Chu is in a hurry, it only takes one day to cross the river from other ferry crossings."
Chu Ci shook his head and smiled:
"City Lord Zhang misunderstood me. I am 100% sure that I can solve the chaos caused by the dragon blocking the Yellow River. How about you sign an agreement with me."
Zhang Wen raised his eyebrows:
"What agreement?"
Chu Ci smiled even more:
"It's very simple. Start the crusade in advance. I can kill the dragon alone."
"This is the condition I gave, and what you have to do is to wait until I kill the dragon and leave the dragon's body and all its treasures to me. How about it!?"
Zhang Wen was speechless. He had completely regarded Chu Ci as someone who came to disrupt the situation.
"Kids nowadays are so arrogant and boastful. They even said that he killed a dragon by himself. Does he think he is a master?"
Zhang Wen muttered in his heart, complaining about why he was so polite to Chu Ci just now.
Such a clueless person should be kicked out directly!
It's not too late to kick him out now!
Zhang Wen raised his eyebrows and was about to wave goodbye to Chu Ci.
Suddenly——!
The entire conference room suddenly shook!
Everyone in the conference room was shocked, not knowing what had happened.
Suddenly, a guard soldier rushed in and shouted:
"It's bad! The dragon on the waterway has taken the initiative to attack us!!"
