Chapter 1150: Chapter 328: Riding a Demigod into the Central Hub
Central State.
Parliament Building. Transportation Department.
As the first line of defense for the Central State, the Transportation Department has always been extremely busy.
To ensure that large-scale weapons of mass destruction are not hidden within the vehicles entering the Central State, all large transport vehicles must be manufactured, inspected, and then allocated to other Eight States under the supervision of the Transportation Department.
These large transport vehicles usually head to the Central State in the morning, undergo modifications there, and return in the afternoon.
The next morning, the offices of the Transportation Department stationed at various locations conduct routine inspections before releasing them again.
Although the approval process for medium and small transport vehicles is more lenient, it still requires the states to report applications and conduct remote inspections outside the Central State to ascertain there are no issues before passing them through.
Once a vehicle anomaly is discovered or if it hasn’t undergone approval, the Transportation Department will immediately convey this information to the relevant military facilities in the Central State for comprehensive strikes.
It is precisely because of such tight defensive measures that despite occasional outbreaks of war in various Administrative Regions and the other Eight States, the Central State has never been affected.
Such complex and cumbersome work is precisely what keeps the thousands of staff in the Transportation Department engaged day after day for decades. All staff are used to this repetitive but tranquil life.
However, today, this tranquility was broken.
The chaotic working hall of the Transportation Department.
“East No. 283 Red Application. Transfer to Commissioner No. 88.”
“Commissioner No. 88 received, starting review.”
“East State submitted an application for a medium-sized transport vehicle entering the state. The vehicle model is [Alien], driver is [Fang Ze], identity as [Deputy Chairperson of the Eastern Administrative Region], reason for entering the state is [invited to visit the Central State], inviter is [Federal Chairperson]. Transport vehicle… Damn!”
Suddenly, Commissioner No. 88’s formal review voice was replaced by an expletive, causing colleagues nearby to turn curiously toward him.
Then they saw No. 88 looking in shock at the holographic screen in front of him, eyes wide as if seeing something astonishing.
Before they could react, No. 88 quickly took off his headphones and hurried to the Director’s office.
Seeing this scene, other commissioners became even more curious, with some who had just finished their own application review stepping to No. 88’s desk to glance at his screen. Moments later, another “Damn!” echoed in the hall.
Such an incident attracted more and more curious commissioners. Not long after, more staff gathered around to check the application No. 88 was processing.
Thus, for a while, expletives sounded repeatedly in the hall.
Because the screen clearly displayed the terrifying image of a Bone Dragon captured from the ground, blocking out the sky, along with the submitted “transport vehicle” details.
[Transport Vehicle Level: Demigod, Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous.]
‘A demigod as a mount?’
‘Isn’t a demigod a deity or noble? How could they become a mount? No, creature also counts as a transport vehicle?’
‘Who is this person who can treat a demigod as a mount?’
‘Can this application be approved?’
Countless chaotic thoughts flashed in the minds of the Transportation Department personnel as the persistent “ringing” echoed in the working hall. It must be said that after so many years in the Transportation Department, this time really opened their eyes….
……
Now, inside the Director’s office.
The Director of the Transportation Department also frowned at the information submitted by No. 88. Clearly, even for the highest-ranking official in the Transportation Department, he had never seen such an exaggerated and strange application.
Thus, he quickly decided how to handle this matter: report it higher.
This involves a demigod and a Regional Council Chairperson, not something an ordinary Director can resolve. Moreover, Fang Ze is currently a high-profile figure, making him even more reluctant to interfere.
Though Fang Ze’s role as the actual controller of the Eastern Administrative Region was still confidential among the Federal leaders, it was no secret across Central State’s departments.
Opinions on this matter within Central State’s departments and among various officials were extremely divided; some support, others strongly oppose. The conflict between sides was intense.
Fang Ze could be described as a storm vortex now.
So, the relatively neutral Director of the Transportation Department didn’t want to wade into this turbulent water.
Thus, without hesitation, the Director submitted the application further up, which quickly spread through the hierarchy, leaking layer by layer, until the news of Fang Ze riding a demigod Bone Dragon toward the Central State swiftly spread across all departments within Central State.
Soon, news from East State arrived as well.
Before long, all levels of officials in Central State’s various departments learned about what happened today.
They learned that someone dared to defy Fang Ze and the Federal Elders, stealing Fang Ze’s maglev express train.
They learned that the East State Security Bureau and Special Service Department’s case that took hours without solution was cracked by Fang Ze in just a few minutes.
They learned that Fang Ze, filled with anger, summoned a demigod Bone Dragon flying toward the Central State with ill intentions.
Upon learning all the news, both supporters and opponents of Fang Ze fell silent.
A demigod, apex of creatures, enjoying the best treatment among the Human Race, regarded as nobility, and all department heads must bow when meeting them. Yet it turns out to be just Fang Ze’s mount, then exactly how powerful is Fang Ze?
