Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 435 Temporary Peace

After a dozen seconds, Li Chenglong smiled and said, "It's not like I'm going to die. There have been countless times along the way when I said I was going to be killed, but I always came back here, back to everyone. To be honest, I was also very surprised by the attack of the void creatures, and I was also very angry about the teacher's deception. But all of that is in the past. What we need to do now is to figure out how to create a real future for us."

Hearing that Li Chenglong was still willing to call her teacher, Lena couldn't help but shed tears. She hadn't cried when her son, the chief researcher of the joint research on the G-Gemstone by three planets, died in an experimental accident, but she cried today.

After the scene quieted down, Roddick said, "We have already held several negotiations and discussions with the alien alliance. They indicated that if Li Chenglong is willing to resolve the issue of the void creatures, they are willing to cease their invasion of Earth and only operate from their current lunar and Martian bases. However, since they also need certain natural resources, they will establish some bases in places like Africa, but they will absolutely not interfere with normal human activities. Furthermore, they expressed their willingness to engage in equal trade with humans and help humanity develop."

Li Chenglong asked calmly, "Can they actually keep their promise? If it's just an empty promise, what if I do what I'm supposed to do, and then they launch a major attack on Earth while I'm not there?"

Princess Sera said seriously, "Regarding this, we have contacted the Interstellar Alliance, and after their quick discussion, they have reached a consensus. The three of us, along with the warriors from our Roland Star, will remain on Earth as representatives to mediate and resolve any issues that arise. In addition, to compensate for our lack of strength, Meilan Star and Hailan Star will also send two teams."

Hearing their explanation, Li Chenglong nodded, acknowledging their decision. Although the three of them described the operation as extremely dangerous, Li Chenglong believed that this approach wouldn't completely solve the problem of the void creatures. Even if he sacrificed himself to lure and eliminate all the void creatures, the fundamental issue wouldn't be addressed, and the hungry destructive demons would continue to emerge.

In the following days, a conference led by representatives of the Interstellar Alliance, and attended by representatives of the alien coalition forces, Earth's humans, and the new humans, was successfully held. The conference lasted a week, resulting in the signing of more than a dozen agreements. This marked the beginning of a truly temporary period of peace for Earth.

After the meeting, Li Chenglong and the others returned to Dawn City aboard the X2 passenger spaceship. However, due to his instructions, the agreement between him, the representative of the Interstellar Alliance, and the alien coalition was not made public. Only a very few people knew about it, and even Yun Lan and the others were unaware of it.

As he was leaving, Lena specifically sought him out. She first apologized again for her deception, and then told Li Chenglong when she would be leaving. They agreed that in half a month, Li Chenglong, guided by several Roland Star female warriors, would pilot the Dawn away from Dawn City, first heading to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance, and then to the place where the Void creatures first appeared.

The biggest problem facing Li Chenglong now is how to explain to Yun Lan that he will be leaving Dawn City for the Interstellar Alliance. As for going to the center of the galaxy to eliminate those void creatures, that is something he absolutely cannot say. Currently, the only people in Dawn City who know about this are Zhao Liying, Yang Liu, Cecily, and Erica, as well as his own spirit dragon spirit and Feng Ling, who is connected to him, plus Erica's spirit Alice.

There's no need to worry about Zhao Liying; she hasn't said anything proactively, and Cecily and Erica probably won't either. As for Feng Ling, Long Ling assured him he'd handle it; the only two people to watch out for are Yang Liu and Alice. However, Li Chenglong has a plan for this, although it's somewhat underhanded.

Upon returning to Dawn City, Li Chenglong immediately went to the Dawn Army's General Armaments Department to deliver the super-powered rifles, super-powered anti-aircraft guns, S1 mechs, Tyrannosaurus fighters, and other weapons and equipment manufactured by his space factory during this period. However, not all of these were for the Dawn Army; some were orders from other bases. These would be sorted out by specialists and delivered one by one via cargo spaceships later.

With the development of the Dawn Army, the equipment and logistics support forces could no longer meet the army's needs. Therefore, under Li Chenglong's leadership, their functions were divided. The former equipment and logistics support forces were split into two, becoming the General Armaments Department and the General Logistics Department.

After leaving the General Armaments Department, he went to Shen Menghua's Industry and Information Department and Yun Qian's Logistics Department, handing over some completed orders and high-grade Dawn Rice to them respectively. At the same time, Li Chenglong almost emptied his psionic space's storage area, handing over all the non-essential items to Yun Qian, Shen Menghua, and others.

After leaving these places, Li Chenglong spoke with Zheng Yong and Ma Tiancheng, informing them of preparations for various large-scale meetings in Shuguang City. Two days later, Shuguang City would hold its Second and Third People's Congresses. Relatedly, the Dawn Army Military Conference, the Shuguang City Plenary Session of the Central Committee, and the Shuguang City Political Consultative Conference would also be held.

The main reason for holding these meetings is that China is now at peace, and construction will begin in various places. At that time, some people will certainly not remain in Dawn City, but will return to their pre-apocalyptic lives. China will undoubtedly introduce various policies accordingly.

Therefore, given these new policies and the new situation in China, holding this conference is very necessary. Having finished his work, Li Chenglong finally returned home. As soon as he arrived, little Li Yunhao ran over and hugged his leg, excitedly telling Qin Fangyu and Yunlan, who were busy in the kitchen, "Grandma, Mommy, Daddy's home! Daddy's home!"

The two of them came out together, one holding a spatula and the other a slotted spoon. Qin Fangyu said with a smile, "My son-in-law is back. Hurry up and rest for a bit, we'll have dinner soon. Li Xue, Xiaoling, and others are coming over for dinner today." Yun Lan said, "Go take a shower first. I'll get you some clean clothes. Su Qian, can you make him a cup of honey water?"

Li Chenglong sat down on the sofa with his son in his arms, kissed him on the cheek, and then carefully asked him what he had been doing lately. Hearing his son say that he had been learning about interstellar language and supernatural abilities, Li Chenglong expressed his strong approval.

After showering and changing into clean clothes, Li Chenglong joined the kitchen in cooking. The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon the dining table was filled with delicious food.

The evening was still very lively. Various dishes were delivered from the Chinese and Western restaurants located in the Dawn Tower. Li Chenglong paid the bills and even gave some tips. Soon after, high-ranking members of the Dawn Army, including Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, ​​Wu Gang, Zheng Aiguo, Wei Lanxin, and Qin Susu, as well as high-ranking members of Dawn City, such as Ma Tiancheng, Yun Qian, and Shen Menghua, and then Yang Liu, Zhao Liying, Wang Shuang, Wu Ruilan, and Chen Xiaoke, arrived. Representatives from the Space Fleet, including Cecily and Erica, along with five other high-ranking members, were also invited.

Although Li Chenglong's house is large, it is still not enough to accommodate so many people at once. He can only put three tables in the living room and one in the dining room, with each table seating 10 people.

Li Chenglong first gave a brief explanation of his upcoming trip to the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament and the subsequent meeting, and also reported on the latest decisions of the China Headquarters. The China Headquarters believes that although a peace agreement has been signed with the alien alliance and there has been no friction with the New Human Empire for a long time, it is not advisable to change the existing system in the face of the threat of void creatures. Therefore, the current policies will remain unchanged for a considerable period of time.

At this high-level gathering, Li Chenglong stated that after completing a series of meetings in Dawn City, he would travel with some warriors from Roland to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance to attend a meeting. He was unsure of the exact time of his trip to the Interstellar Alliance.

Those who knew the truth, including Zhao Liying, Yang Liu, Cecily, and Erica, all looked at Li Chenglong but said nothing. The others advised Li Chenglong not to rush, but to wait until Dawn City had developed to a certain stage before discussing the matter.

Knowing full well that a crisis was looming, Li Chenglong resolutely stated that he would definitely make the trip as soon as possible, reassuring everyone that he would be back soon. Knowing that he was the kind of person who, once he made a decision, would never change it, no one tried to persuade him further.

When everyone was enjoying their meal, Li Chenglong stood up and said, "I have some good news to share with you all today. No, it shouldn't be just me, but good news for our family." As he spoke, he picked up his son, Li Yunhao, and said to everyone, "Our family will soon have a new member. Haohao will have a younger brother or sister."

After saying that, he looked at Yunlan, put his right arm around her sitting next to him, and said in a low voice, "I didn't use my eyes to look at you. It's just that after I reached level 13, because of my life energy, I could feel the rhythm of life, so I knew. Since you never said anything, I never brought it up either."

Upon hearing the news, everyone congratulated Li Chenglong and Yun Lan. Qin Fangyu hurriedly went to her daughter and whispered something to her with a slightly reproachful expression. After Li Chenglong's words, Yang Liu and the others, who had originally intended to tell Yun Lan the truth, gave up the idea.
