I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 622: Star City Military (3)

Behind the desk were two flags. On the left was the Star City flag, and on the right was the Star City Military flag.

On the left side of the room was the miniature sand table of Star City.

There were also many military flags on it. Every flag represented a military base in Star City.

Many other details could be seen from the sand table.

At this moment, an old man with a head full of white hair and a dignified appearance was sitting in front of the sand table of the city model.

“Chief Commander,” Feng Qi greeted respectfully.

“Don’t stand on ceremony. Have a seat.” As he spoke, the old man stood up, went to the sofa, and sat down with a smile.

Seeing this, Feng Qi led Mu Qing to sit on the sofa opposite the old man.

“I heard from Old Li that you have something to discuss with me. I’m curious about what it is since Old Li can’t explain it over the phone.”

Old Li was the current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Facing the old man’s question, Feng Qi immediately nodded and said.

“Chief Commander, this is a serious matter, so I can’t explain it over the phone. I think it’s better to tell you in person. You might not believe what I’m about to say, but it is the truth…”

Without much preamble, he chose to get straight to the point.

Before coming to Star City Military, Feng Qi considered a problem.

Could Star City Military be occupied by domain factions as well?

He had no way of knowing the answer to this question, and he did not have a lot of time in this combat timeline to infiltrate and investigate.

This sacrificial timeline was intended for experimentation and to allow for errors.

Before his arrival, he had also briefed the Scarlet Research Institute on the situation. Even if he were to perish within the confines of the Star City Military, and his head couldn’t be returned to the Scarlet Research Institute, the news of his demise within the military headquarters of Star City would still reach the ears of someone he had yet to encounter.

However, Feng Qi felt that this worry was probably unnecessary.

The purpose of the Star City Military was to “protect”.

It was like every organization had its own rules and regulations.

The Tiger Soul Research Institute was infiltrated because their rules were to explore a new path in cultivation.

This was filled with uncertainty.

That was why they were controlled and used by domain factions.

However, the Star City Military’s rules were clear—to protect Star City and human civilization.

If a domain faction were to control the Star City Military to do things for them, they would encounter many obstacles. Even the Chief Commander would find it difficult to casually mobilize the military’s power to do things for them.

For example, letting the soldiers of the Star City Military slaughter the civilians.

Even though this order was given by the Chief Commander, it violated the military’s rules. It would be rejected by the other commanders along the way.

There were only two possibilities for mobilizing the military’s forces.

First, he had to confirm that this matter might endanger the development of human civilization or the safety of the people of Star City.

Secondly, it received approval from the highest-level military meeting and obtained the consent of the heads of the seven departments.

In addition, every military operation would be supervised by the Star City Supreme Council.

Therefore, it was difficult for domain factions to infiltrate the Star City Military. Unless they controlled all the management personnel from the middle to higher-ups, any mission that was unfavorable to human civilization could not be effectively carried out.

After figuring out the reason, Feng Qi became bold.

Moreover, Mu Qing was by his side this time. He felt that even if something unexpected happened, Mu Qing could get him out of there.

The only issue was that if there were problems within the military, the future development of Breaking Dawn would encounter a significant challenge.

Listening to his explanation, the white-haired old man’s expression gradually became serious.

Especially when he heard that there were a large number of domain factions hidden in Star City, his expression was furious. Then, he suddenly asked.

“Did the mysterious explosion at the Starlight Lake have something to do with you?”
