Chapter 158: Inauguration Ceremony

Shen Zheng promptly withdrew his insect power from Luther's body, then stepped back a few steps, nodded and smiled: "Congratulations."

"This..." Luther raised his hands in disbelief, feeling the powerful force emanating from his body, his eyes were a little wet.

"After so many years, it finally succeeded." Lu Jin also choked a little, he withdrew his hand, released the control of Luther's insect power, and then gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with that hand.

"Success, success!" Luther couldn't help crying and cried, "One day, I can become a powerful insect controller!"

"Thank you, thank you!" He suddenly turned around and hugged Shen Zheng tightly, which caught Shen Zheng off guard. [

"I want to say thank you too." Lu Jin walked over, patted Shen Zheng's back gratefully, and then punched his brother.

"Let go quickly, do you want to murder our best legion commander with a bear hug?" He said with a smile.

Luther let go, but his eyes were still full of gratitude.

Shen Zheng smiled at the two men and waved his hand gently: "You two brothers, celebrate, I'll go back and rest first."

"Thank you!" The two brothers said in unison.

After leaving the deputy commander's mansion, Shen Zheng got on the car that had been prepared earlier and was sent back home. Along the way, he kept recalling the excited expressions of the two brothers just now, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

Helping others is actually a thing that makes you happy.

Why not?

It was late at night, but the lights were still on at home, obviously his family was waiting for his return. Seeing this brightly lit home, Shen Zheng suddenly felt a deep sense of happiness. There are three family members in this family, but none of them has any blood relationship with him. Although Shen Ying is his "real" sister, she actually has no direct relationship with him.

But these people are real family members in his heart, members of his own family.

He is not alone, not a lonely strong man standing on the peak and feeling cold.

Even insects, don't they live in groups? So what if they are strong? They are also creatures that need family, friendship and love.

Shen Zheng couldn't help but think of the gods in the myths who wanted to be mortals. In fact, aren't those gods in the fantasy legends the portrayal of the supreme kings among their kind by humans?

Even if they can rule a planet, people are still people, with flesh and blood, not machines.

With this feeling, he walked into the house and met Fang He who greeted him on the first floor, and Shen Ying and Chai Feifei who greeted him on the second floor.

"It's okay, everything is fine, there are thrills." He smiled and answered the three people's questions about this insect hunting, and said all the dangers.

He felt that the greatest meaning of his existence was to make them live in peace and comfort, and let them continue to be so happy.

Just like the princes and princesses in the fairy tale world.

The following days were very peaceful, and there were several major events: Luther was awarded the title of legion commander because he became an insect controller, but because he was already old and had been used to being in charge of the reserve generals' residential area for so many years, he would feel lonely if he really retired to enjoy a good life, so he was still allowed to manage this place. It was just because of his different status that the respect of several residents for him increased a lot. [

In addition, Dalan completely reorganized the seventh defense zone, and all the remaining issues about Gu Qinghan had completely disappeared. As long as Shen Zheng went there, he could take over a clean defense zone.

Regarding the inauguration ceremony of the insect controller, Lu Jin talked to Shen Zheng, and Shen Zheng said that any day would be fine. However, Shen Ying expressed her thoughts: Shen Zheng's twentieth birthday is coming soon, and if the inauguration ceremony can be combined with the birthday, it will have special significance. Shen Zheng smiled and didn't take it seriously, but Shen Ying was really brave and went to Lu Jin directly.

After listening to Shen Ying's opinion, Lu Jin also felt that this matter was quite meaningful, so he decided to schedule the ceremony on Shen Zheng's birthday.

This made Shen Zheng a little embarrassed. After all, he was not the only one who received the appointment, but also Carloka and Qu Xiang. He felt a little sorry for them for being so focused on him.

But Fang He and Chai Feifei supported Shen Ying's idea. Shen Zheng felt that he didn't have to be a modest gentleman, so he just let them do what they wanted.

Unknowingly, this day came.

The day before the ceremony, Shen Ying and Chai Feifei became worried. They carefully checked Shen Zheng's officer uniform and found a small, pinhole-sized stain. They shouted and busied themselves for a long time to remove it, which made Shen Zheng angry and funny. And Shen Zheng naturally suffered a day's torture. From the officer's cap, officer's uniform to the leather shoes on his feet and the white gloves on his hands, the two girls repeatedly asked him to wear them for a long time, until they felt that they really couldn't find any problems.

"Honestly, I would rather enter the most terrifying insect cave and face those powerful insects." Shen Zheng complained to Fang He in a low voice when the two girls were not paying attention.

"Tomorrow is a big event, so you must not be careless. Everyone in the entire military region is watching on TV! We in Longxing must be paying attention to this matter, and we don't want you to have even the slightest flaw. I think they didn't check it carefully enough. Come, let me help you check it again." Unexpectedly, Fang He was very serious and vented his anger with the two girls, which made Shen Zheng roll his eyes and wish he could punch himself twice to knock himself out so as to avoid this living torture.

The next morning, the three of them came to Shen Zheng's room early and dressed up Shen Zheng, which made Shen Zheng feel like running away from home.

Before six o'clock, Luther sent a car to personally take Shen Zheng, Shen Ying and others to the auditorium of the General Headquarters. The auditorium was already full of flowers. The major media from the military region and the countries under the military region gathered in the auditorium, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Shen Ying and others were taken to the audience seats below by Luther, and Shen Zheng accompanied him to the second floor facing the first floor hall.

Shen Zheng stood in front, looking at the hall below through the one-way window, and couldn't help feeling a headache.

"What's wrong?" Luther asked with a smile.

"I'm annoyed by the flashing lights of these guns and guns." Shen Zheng sighed, "It's a headache."

"Ordinary people don't have the qualifications to be dazzled." Luther said, "There's nothing I can do. Some things still need to be done. Although you are already a strong man who transcends ordinary people, don't you still have to live in human society? If the military district doesn't make this ceremony more grand, it's like they don't value you. I think the two of them must think differently from you, and they probably hope that the ceremony will be as lively as possible."

As he was talking, Carloka and Qu Xiang opened the door and walked in, accompanied by ordinary staff members of the residential area.

"The treatment is really different." Qu Xiang saw Luther accompanying Shen Zheng, and couldn't help but joked. "Brother Lu, the person in charge, personally accompanied you?"

"You are dressed so smartly." Shen Zheng smiled, looked at the two people's outfits, and made small talk.

"You are not as energetic as me." Qu Xiang said with a smile, "It's good to be young. You look good in any clothes."

At this time, Carloka and Qu Xiang, like Shen Zheng, also wore neat officer uniforms. The metal decorations on their military caps shone, the leather was shiny, and the gloves were dazzlingly white. Obviously, both of them attached great importance to this inauguration ceremony, and their outfits were very exquisite.

Carloka didn't say much, just smiled at Shen Zheng and Luther and nodded. But it can be seen that he was a little nervous in his excitement. [

After all, this is the position of the commander of the actual corps of the military region, which they have been looking forward to for many years. Especially Qu Xiang, this old man has lived in the military region's reserve generals' residential area for fifteen years. He has waited for more than ten times until he was finally promoted. He is really overjoyed.

In the hall downstairs, the etiquette staff were constantly busy, placing pots of flowers in appropriate positions, and then leading reporters from various countries to the area prepared for them. Around seven o'clock, the soldiers of the honor guard entered the hall one after another and sat down in the hall. Then the military band entered from another door, lined up on both sides, and sat down on both sides after preparing their instruments.

At eight o'clock, the ceremony officially began. First, the military district's news department officer came on stage and announced to the major media that the ceremony for the appointment of the new military district corps commander had begun. Then the military band played majestic music.

Amid the music, Lu Jin, deputy commander of the military district, walked down an escalator on the second floor and came to the podium in front of the auditorium and stood on the chairman's speaking position.

There were more than two thousand soldiers in the audience. At this time, they stood up in unison and saluted Lu Jin in unison.

"Please sit down." Lu Jin nodded and saluted in return. At this time, the band stopped playing at the right time.

"I feel very gratified standing here today. Talents emerge in every generation, and the 12th Military Region has finally been injected with fresh blood." Facing the audience and the media cameras, he spoke calmly, talking about the glorious history of the military region, the abilities of the three new corps commanders, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future.

Shen Zheng couldn't stand listening to these things, so he simply stepped aside and sat down on the sofa to rest.

Lu Jin's speech lasted for more than ten minutes, which was relatively brief, and then he announced the start of the inauguration ceremony. An emcee officer hurried up to the second floor, knocked on the door of Shen Zheng and others, and took the three people to the escalator beside the house.

A team of beautiful etiquette ladies in military uniforms came over, half of them led the way in front, and half of them accompanied on the left and right sides. The three people walked slowly down under the cover of these "flowers" and came to the rostrum.

The camera below immediately aimed at them, and the flash lights flashed like intensive bombing.

It's almost over. Shen Zheng lamented in his heart.
