Chapter 489 [Elders]
[Everyone, I'm back.
After adjusting my status for two days, I have basically figured out my ideas. Let's continue reading me to write a story!]

Chapter 189 [Seniors]
The headquarters of the Elderly Council in Zero City is actually not as mysterious as imagined.
It is completely different from the anticipated alertness. The headquarters of the Elderly Council in Zero City has always been open to the public.
It can be said that whenever the opening day of Zero City is open, the headquarters of the Senate will open a corresponding area for outside awakened people to visit, of course, it is only a part of it.
The Elderly Council is the place where the seven permanent teams manage major affairs in Zero City on a daily basis. In fact, this place is equivalent to a "small United Nations" in Zero City.
In fact, this place has never been the core area of Zero City.
If there is something to discuss, the seniors of the seven teams will gather here for a meeting. In normal times, there is nothing too confidential here.
In contrast, in Zero City, the truly heavily guarded place is the base camp of every permanent team, such as the "beehive" of the sea of swords and fire.
And...the base camp of the Angels Legion.
These places are the real "forbidden entry for outsiders".
As a "little United Nations", the Senate Society is actually not as mysterious as imagined.
This is a building similar to an oval shape, which looks like a huge stadium but is closed.
Around the building is an empty square, and there are even awakening people visiting and strolling nearby.
Obviously, today is an open day.
When Lan Hai and Chen Xiaolian walked over side by side, the two people who changed their appearance did not attract anyone's attention.
Chen Xiaolian noticed that there were not many patrol sentry mechas around here, and even fewer than those around the Sea of Love.
"Every member of the Elderly Council is a giant in the permanent team... Every giant is the top expert himself, so the elders who come here to have a meeting do not need any warning or protection."
Lan Hai walked in side by side with Chen Xiaolian and introduced: "The rule of the Elderly Council is that the seven resident teams take turns to manage Zero City. Each team is on duty for three months. During the duty period, the resident team on duty will conduct daily management of Zero City. Of course, in order to ensure fairness and justice, the Angel Legion supervises it during the duty period.
Every month, a regular meeting of all the veterans will be held to discuss major events that have happened in the city in the past month. Zero City has its own system to evaluate the level of matters. Generally, small matters will be handled by the permanent team on duty. For matters that reach a certain level, the team on duty will have no right to decide without authorization. They must wait for the regular meeting and all the veterans will vote."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows: "The regular meeting only once a month, won't it delay?"
"There are really urgent things, and you can hold an emergency veterans' meeting at any time. However, there are very few such situations. After all, this is Zero City, which is completely isolated from the outside world." Lan Hai shook his head: "Some small things on weekdays are nothing more than some small disputes, such as some transaction disputes on the black market, or friction between some teams and awakened people. What big things can happen."
Although the alert was not very tight, when the two walked to the entrance of the hall in front of the oval building, Chen Xiaolian still saw two patrolling mechas.
Obviously, this mecha should be a newer model of sentry. From the appearance, its shape is slightly different from the Sentry II type that Chen Xiaolian is familiar with. It looks smaller in size, and the armor on its body is more sealed and the paint is also different.
The most important thing is that the assembled weapons are also different. Unlike the Sentinel II type, the arms are equipped with externally equipped swords.
Chen Xiaolian saw these two sentry mechas, one with a huge long sword hanging on its back, and the other with a weapon like a long sickle in his hand.
"These are all optional equipment, and they are specially made weapons by the pilots based on their own combat characteristics." Lan Hai discovered Chen Xiaolian's idea and introduced with a smile: "The ones you saw before were equipped with mass production machines, and these... are modified or even specially made by their own mechanics in the team of each pilot."
"Is it more powerful?"
"..." Lan Hai hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Generally speaking, the combat department's assessment is that specially modified mechas can beat four mass-produced machines with the same level of pilots. Of course, the price is also more expensive."
When Chen Xiaolian and Lan Hai passed by these two mechas, they noticed that the one on the left had some unique and magnificent patterns on the thruster behind them.
"This seems to be... some kind of... magic?" Chen Xiaolian was stunned.
"Well, this should be a magic-modified machine." Lan Hai shrugged calmly: "I have modified it with magic, and maybe I have also set up several magic attack or defense skills."
Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but take a breath.
The door of the hall is open. These are two huge doors with a width of nearly ten meters. They are fully transparent glass. Of course, Chen Xiaolian dared to bet that this material is definitely not glass.
"This door is a kind of polymeric material that can withstand the bombardment of two energy levels of artillery fire." Lan Hai smiled. He and Chen Xiaolian walked aside, took out a badge, and after swaying on the "glass", the huge glass curtain door automatically melted into a small door about two meters high like magic.
Lan Hai and Chen Xiaolian walked in from this door together.
After walking in, I realized how huge the inside of this oval building is!
There is even an independent ecological balance system inside.
There are flowers and plants, and more than ten acres of unique tropical plants have been planted, with water flow and ponds.
A complete ecological balance system.
When I looked up, there were birds flying over my head?
Wait, bird?!
Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment.
Above our heads is the sunny sky and birds fly.
"Are these... all virtual projections?"
"No, it's real." Lan Hai smiled, and then his tone became serious: "To be precise, this is using space transfer technology to 'cut and copy' a piece of sky from the outside real world, and then 'transplant' it here."
"Real sky?!" Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath: "Cut, transplant? What does it mean?"
Lan Hai thought for a while: "It is to use space transfer technology to directly copy the sky somewhere outside to here. Well, it is not appropriate to copy it, it should be called 'import'."
Chen Xiaolian squinted his eyes and looked at the sky and suddenly pointed to the sky and asked, "Then...what will happen if he flew up from here and flew to the sky? Or, fly to a sufficient height from here, and then move parallel to the area outside Zero City, what will happen?"
Lan Hai smiled and said, "I will leave Zero City, but after I go out, the space will be transferred and jumped, landed in the outside world, and the sky was 'introduced'.
Simply put, if this sky is the sky of a certain tropical rainforest that is ‘introduced’, then you fly out from here and will appear directly in that tropical rainforest.
And if this sky is imported into New York or London…”
"Will it appear directly in New York or London?" Chen Xiaolian said curiously: "Isn't this dangerous? Are you not afraid of exposing the location of Zero City?"
"No." Lan Hai shook his head: "The leap of space is one-way, that is, you can only go out from here, but you can't come in from outside. And there is another special reason to keep this thing here..."
Before Lan Hai finished speaking, Chen Xiaolian frowned and said, "Emergency escape passage?"
"...Yes." Lan Hai nodded: "In fact, this sky was not created by the Elderly Group. It should have been the initial program setting of Zero City that has always existed here. Instead, this Elderly Building was built later, enclosing this place."
After a pause, Lan Hai slowly said: "Also, we cannot control this sky. We have done a lot of experiments. Every time we go out from here, it will appear in a different place. In other words... the sky above your head that you see now is randomly imported by the Zero City system, and it may have changed the coordinates in the next second."
"In other words, the sky I see now may be imported into New York, and in the next second, or in a few minutes, it may become London?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Totally random?"
"It's completely random. We tried to collect data and use models to calculate it, but we couldn't calculate the rules for the Zero City system to change the sky coordinates, which means that we have not mastered it so far.
But this is also good news. We can't decipher this place. So it's hard for the development team to find us. Therefore, this escape passage should be safe."
Chen Xiaolian looked at the sky deeply.
"You'd better not want to fly here." Lan Hai warned in a low voice: "In the Senate Building, the first rule is to absolutely prohibit flying! If someone dares to test the law here, then the automatic attack weapons will kill them when they take off without hesitation! These weapons are made by the Angel Legion, and awakened people below level A cannot avoid it."
Chen Xiaolian withdrew his gaze.
Lan Hai saw that Chen Xiaolian no longer looked at the sky, and he felt relieved, so he took Chen Xiaolian to continue walking in.
"This period happened to be the turn of the sword mountain and fire, which means that the people who are on duty here are all our people. So it is very convenient if you want to visit."
Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "I heard that anyone who becomes a permanent team of Zero City can obtain resources automatically allocated by Zero City. What I want to know is how to allocate this resource and where is it allocated? Or... where is the main system program control of Zero City?"
"What are you asking about this?" Lan Hai glanced at Chen Xiaolian.
Chen Xiaolian's face did not change his expression: "I said, I want my team to become the permanent team of Zero City. Is this reason enough?"
"..." Lan Hai took a deep breath and his face changed slightly: "Do you have such thoughts?!"
"Why, is it too incredible?" Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "Why can't I do what you have done in thirty years? Besides..."
"That's right." Lan Hai sighed and nodded, "When I was refining blood, I found that your strength was very powerful. Is it... the Sky Sword that has improved your strength?"
Chen Xiaolian did not answer this question and said slowly: "Can my request be met?"
"...This is not difficult." Lan Hai's answer surprised Chen Xiaolian: "In fact, Zero City's main control and evaluation and identification of the permanent team are all open to the public. If you want to go and see it, you can do it anytime... but maybe you will be disappointed when you get there."
"Disappointed? What does it mean?"
A strange smile appeared on Lan Hai's mouth: "You will know when you go and see it."
