Above the gray fog

"Come in." Lin Shan shouted to the door.

"Pioneer Lin, Minister Zhang is looking for you."

A female voice came from outside the door. She did not enter the door, but just shouted at the door.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a moment." Lin Shan replied.

The next second, red light flashed, and Lin Shan's figure disappeared into the house.

Military Office.

"What do you want from me?"

He suddenly appeared behind Zhang Zhonghua and asked.

Zhang Zhonghua's body tensed up at first, and then quickly recovered. He was already used to Lin Shan's elusiveness.

"I'm going to abdicate after a while." Zhang Zhonghua said leisurely while looking out the window.

"How are you going to solve the seven-part problem?" Lin Shan asked.

Zhang Zhonghua said slowly:

"It's not solved."

"The withdrawal of the pioneers is the best solution. Let the pioneers take charge. The power can never be transferred. Only when we step back can the human race develop forward again. After all, our thoughts are also limited. We cannot see our own destiny from a high position. question."

"But now we are still stable, and we should be fine for another five years."

Lin Shan said calmly:

"That's fine. After implementing the faith plan, you shouldn't appear in front of the public often."

Then he went on to ask:

"Is that why you came to me to talk about this?"

Zhang Zhonghua sighed and said:

"I hope that when the power changes, you can check it."

Lin Shan nodded and agreed that if the new generation who succeeded him was dissatisfied, he would intervene.

It is now time to either force a change in policy or pass the baton to a new generation.

Obviously, they chose the latter.

After leaving the military office, Lin Shan walked around the streets.

Compared with before, it is much more prosperous, and the clan area and various resources are also much richer.

People's lives have begun to become more comfortable. Now it is very difficult for the military to recruit troops. The Seventh Department's methods are too gentle, and now it is peacetime and there is no reason to be tough.

Exploration outside the gray fog has completely stopped. Who wants to take risks outside the city when they can live a comfortable life in the city?

"Let me go, let me go! I am the section chief of the Household Department, you have no right to arrest me."

"Feng Jun, why did you arrest people from our household department?"

"You can ask him about this and ask him what good things he has done."

"Even if he makes a mistake, it will be managed by our Household Department. The seven departments are politically independent and do not interfere with each other. Your police department has no right to interrogate us."

"Let him go quickly!"

"I don't care about your department. If you don't accept it, go to the top and sue me. I'm fulfilling my duties."

"Okay, Feng Jun, just wait for me.

Lin Shan looked at the scene in front of him calmly. This was just a reflection of a small corner.

Shaking his head, he found a deserted corner and teleported away, returning to his room.

After returning to the room, Lin Shan began to sit cross-legged.

Immersing one's own consciousness in the body has no practical significance, but it will produce a feeling of traveling through time.

I don’t know how long it took, but no one bothered me.

When he opened his eyes again, the room was covered with spider webs, and the table and bed were filled with a musty smell.

"Finally the peak."

At this time, Blood Wing's supernatural power has finally reached its peak, and it can no longer move forward.

Without the blood wings to burn faith, he could only feel the power of faith at this time.

This is a very strange power that has no upper limit and cannot be restored by itself. It can only be replenished by the people's faith.

Moreover, this power characteristic is also given by the people. Lin Shan's belief characteristic is that he is good at fighting. This is also the perception he has given the people.

But this little bit of power is dispensable now. If it is gathered at this rate for several more decades, it will only reach the peak of Sequence 9, and it will be gone once it is used up.

So Lin Shan didn't pay too much attention to this power and turned around and threw it behind him.

"It's time to prepare to find the Sequence 8 magic potion, but it may take tens to hundreds of years to get there. Let's see the development of the clan first."

When Lin Shan opened the door to the room, the hall on the third floor was still empty, and all the books and family utensils had been moved.

The hall was covered with dense spider webs, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Just when Lin Shan was about to teleport away, the sound of pushing the door suddenly came from the first floor of the hall.

"Cough cough cough."

Accompanied by a violent cough, two young men, a man and a woman, walked in. They looked to be about twenty years old.

"How long will it take for no one to come here before it is covered with so much dust!" the girl complained.

"According to records, this hall has been idle for eight years." The young man next to him replied helplessly.

"I think we should go back. How could the strongest human being live here? How could he not eat or drink for so many years?" the girl said.

The young man glanced at the girl and advised: "Since you have slipped in, let's go in and take a look. There might be something good inside. This is the previous clan palace after all."

The girl said angrily: "We are here to find people, not to be thieves!" Then she changed the topic and continued: "It is okay to pay homage to the former clan palace."

Lin Shan looked at the two people on the third floor. Judging from their age, they should be the new generation who grew up in the gray fog world and have completely lost contact with the earth.

They first sneaked to the second floor.

The young man took out a thin booklet from his bosom, flipped through a few pages, looked at it for a while, and then said: "This is where the ministers of various departments used to work. Let's go to the third floor first, and then explore the second floor. The strongest person of the human race used to live on the third floor."

The girl covered her face with her hands and complained:

"You don't really think you can find him? I don't know how many people came here before us. If the person was really here, he would have been found long ago. And if it were you, would you live here? You don't have to think about it with your brain."

"Hurry up, look for something good on the second floor first."

"Uh..." The young man thought around and could only nod.

In fact, he didn't believe that someone would really live here, but all the records said that the person lived here.

The last time he appeared was 14 years ago, and some people said it was nine years ago. It was too long ago and there was no way to investigate.

"It would be great if we could look through the clan artifacts, so we could know the exact whereabouts of the pioneers."

The girl, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, turned around and said:

"After overthrowing the Seventh Department, you can look through it as you like. In order to prevent us from reading the clan calendar, the Seventh Department does not even allow new people who have traveled through time to read it, fearing that they will reveal it."

Lin Shan stood at the stairs on the third floor and listened to the conversation on the second floor and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Are they here to steal things, or are they here to find me?"

Anyway, in the end, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets had drowned out the voices.

After an unknown amount of time, the two dusty people appeared again.
