Chapter 139 The Last Night
Late at night.
Li Tianran sat on the dirt ridge in the planting area, looking at the plants emitting a faint fragrance a few feet away, a smile appearing on his face.
"LV4 God-Level Buffed Cherry Tomatoes
Growth Rate: 68%
Growth Status: Good
Time Until Maturity: 62 hours
Description: It has now grown strong enough, and the evolutionary effects of its fruit have also manifested, but compared to the mature fruit, the probability is more than halved. It is not recommended to pick the fruit and eat it before it is ripe; without a doubt, that is an act of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!"
The leaves of the nineteen cherry tomato plants revealed a fresh green color, and at the ends of some branches, there hung more than a dozen fruits clustered together, like red pearls!
Li Tianran gently touched those fruits with his finger, and the branches and leaves of the entire plant began to shake, as if they had their own life.
"LV4 crops, the key to opening the era of the gods..."
Li Tianran's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He had never been anxious about the eleven-person trial because whether it was Wang Dongchuan or Yuan Zhenghong, they represented only secular power at this time. Although Li Tianran could not directly confront secular power at this time, he was not afraid!
Even if the result of the eleven-person trial tomorrow declared Li Tianran guilty, Li Tianran didn't care.
The previous laws were no longer applicable to the current era. If the Law Department really wanted to convict him and imprison him, then Li Tianran wouldn't mind going all the way down the dark path.
He had a system and could forcibly break through the military and police blockade, leave this place, and make a comeback in another place.
He was not the kind of pedantic person who would not resist after being declared guilty.
On the contrary, after the cult case, Li Tianran was even more convinced that Yan Huang's current political system would collapse in the future, and he had to plan ahead!
In response to the current severe situation, the military and police still strictly followed the legal framework, and it was impossible to suppress the increasingly expanding chaos!
For example, if the military and police had taken a tough stance after the cult case and directly executed Li and Guo, ignoring the procedures, then so many things would not have happened later.
The same goes from another perspective.
If the military and police forcefully broke through the public's blockade tonight and arrested Li Tianran, although it would chill the public's hearts, it could show the military and police's iron-blooded methods and quell many possible future riots!
However, the military and police departments and the political department did not dare to do so.
They wanted both the people's hearts and strict laws!
This was inherently conflicting!
In troubled times, heavy penalties should be used. The military and police were the country's sword, but at this time, the military and police's methods were not tough enough, not strong enough, and the sword's blade was not sharp enough, so it was destined not to play its due role!
And most importantly, the enemies the military and police would face in the future were not those visible, brutal thugs, but the shadows of despair brought about by the disaster of the Cataclysm changing the world!
The first Cataclysm had already increased the world's crime rate by hundreds of times, and the military and police departments were exhausted and unable to cope.
So, what about the second Cataclysm?
What would the second Cataclysm turn the world into?
Could the military and police departments in this state cope with such changes?
Could Yan Huang's current system cope with such changes?
Li Tianran was not optimistic…
In fact, this problem existed not only within Yan Huang, but all countries in the world urgently needed to change their political systems, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the increasingly turbulent situation.
Therefore, at this time, what worried Li Tianran was only the arrival of the second Cataclysm and the increasingly serious mutant beast riots.
That was another level of disaster, representing a world-class threat!
And to fight against such disasters, it was difficult to rely solely on the country's existing technology and military level.
Only the supernatural powers Li Tianran possessed were a ray of dawn in the dark world of the future.
But he would not hand these things over.
Admittedly, he hoped that the world would become better, but that didn't mean he was the kind of person who would offer limitless dedication.
Before he had absolute power or absolute authority, he would not expose crops above LV4...
In this situation, rashly exposing his uniqueness would most likely lead to him being taken to the Yan Huang Academy of Sciences for slicing and research.
Even the blood of a perfect mutant had driven Bai Jingyan so crazy; Li Tianran couldn't imagine how many people would rush towards him frantically, tearing him to pieces, if the fact that he possessed a system and a golden finger were exposed.
"When the second Cataclysm begins, my world will enter a new chapter, and I will no longer be bound by mundane struggles." Li Tianran stood up and slowly walked out of the greenhouse in the planting area: "I will rely on these things... to become a true god!"
He looked at the people standing in the cold wind outside the farm, without any fluctuations in his heart.
In less than thirty days, Li Tianran had experienced too many things. These things made him grow rapidly and made his heart harden! At the same time, it made him understand that to survive in this dark world, he couldn't be too kind and had to be more indifferent!
Those people outside the farm were Li Tianran's chess pieces and knives!
These people had won Li Tianran a rare opportunity for an eleven-person trial, buying him time so that he could do some things before the trial began.
This was the value of these people.
It was also something Li Tianran had won through his own efforts.
He had absolute say in how to use them!
...
A certain official residence.
"I didn't expect the cult case to become so big... The cause of death of the two councilors has not yet been clarified, and the suspect who negligently killed someone in the cult case has actually attracted the attention of the National Security Department and the political department at the same time!" The white-haired Speaker of the House sat on the sofa, looking at Wang Dongchuan opposite him and said, "The political department and the National Security Department have decided to initiate an eleven-person trial and will try him tomorrow. Our parliament will have one spot... I will give this spot to you."
Wang Dongchuan narrowed his eyes, a flash of cold light in his eyes.
He nodded slightly: "I will make the fairest vote and not let justice and the law be harmed!"
"It seems that the implementation of the integration of the military and the government is inevitable. This time, the joint effort of the political department and the National Security Department is a precursor to the upper echelons wanting to merge the two departments..." The Speaker sighed and said, "Dongchuan, with your qualifications, you could have occupied an important position after the implementation of the integration of the military and the government, but the deaths of Li and Guo will push you into the limelight, because they were promoted by you, your protégés!"
"Regardless of whether the accusations against Councilors Li and Guo in this case are true or not, now that things have gotten so big, you have been labeled as a controversial figure, and it will probably be difficult for you to emerge in the future political system in the short term..."
The Speaker's voice was a little regretful.
Wang Dongchuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart had already fallen into an bottomless abyss.
He was a person who was extremely passionate about power and status, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Li and Guo handle those dirty things!
But in the end, he was forced to get involved and couldn't extricate himself!
He didn't know who to hate now?
Li Ting?
Guo Xuanjun?
They were already dead! Even grinding their bones to ashes would be completely useless!
Then there was only one person left...
Li Tianran.
If Li Tianran hadn't broken into the church that night, none of this would have happened...
At this time, even Wang Dongchuan himself didn't notice that his psychology had become distorted.
From the moment he decided to help Li and Guo, he had already stepped into a muddy swamp!
The darkness would slowly erode him, and he would only sink deeper and deeper, with no turning back!
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Wang Dongchuan's eyes.
The killing intent was awe-inspiring.
