"Old aunt, you...are not hiding anything, are you?"
Xu Shi is still a little unable to accept it. Is it okay to have such a big fight with no result?
"Did you see something bad? That's okay, I accept it."
"No, I really didn't see anything."
The white-haired loli shook her head, "At most there are a few fragments, and the rest is a black mass...it doesn't even make up the whole picture."
"Why is this happening?"
Hearing that she was really not lying, Xu Shi became even more curious.
"...My ability is not 100% effective, and it has failed before."
Xia Keyan regretted, "The first thing is that I cannot predict the future that is too far away. For example, I will definitely not be able to see what will happen a hundred years from now."
"As for the second... I couldn't be sure before, but now I can - it seems that I can't predict anything involving "natural principles". To tell you the truth, I predicted the future of "Refraction" twelve years ago. Look. It was also pitch black when we arrived. "
"At that time, I thought it was because I was in a bad state, but now it seems... 宮! Damn, damn, damn!"
Uncharacteristically, the white-haired loli cursed through gritted teeth. She knew this was not good, but she couldn't help it.
Obviously she has made some progress now, but she is still at a loss when facing her enemies. Who else can be happy?
Xu Shi thought it was outrageous. What on earth is this "natural principle"? Really a god-like existence?
Thinking like this, he felt a bit toothache for no reason.
"Believe me, I'm not afraid of seeing bad things."
After venting to the air for a long time, the old aunt turned to him in despair, "Because you and I both know what the worst ending is, and the worst is death... But if it were with you, I would really It doesn’t feel that scary.”
"Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense."
Xu Shi was startled, then gave her a straight face and said, "You can die casually if it's not scary? I'm right to call you a fool!"
"Anyway, I don't want to die, especially at the hands of "Heavenly Reason", so woman, listen up, you can't die without my permission! "
It feels numb, so embarrassing.
I accidentally said the boss's classic lines again... Oh, I am the boss, so that's okay.
Xia Keyan subconsciously covered his forehead and met his gaze with twinkling eyes. After being speechless for a while, he laughed and complained coquettishly, "It hurts."
The moment just now was not a joke, Xu Shi used a rare amount of force and was obviously really angry.
But the old aunt just felt warm in her heart. Although the little boy's lines were a bit bad, the feelings couldn't be faked. Did she feel that she was too pessimistic and unfulfilling? Essentially, he cares about her and loves her.
"Aren't you afraid of death? Are you afraid of pain?"
Xu Cai refused to admit it and said angrily, "The little brat talks about life and death. Who can show off his old age?"
"I was wrong, please forgive me, brother Xu Shi."
Xia Keyan didn't argue with him, but ran over and hugged him, "You know, I can't control it when I encounter "natural laws"... I'm sorry. "
Seeing her like this, Xu Shi couldn't help but get angry again, so he stretched out his hand to rub her.
It was said that he showed his true feelings, so why not the old aunt? I don't rely on him, and I can't say things like "I'm not afraid of dying with you."
He is not a stone-hearted person after all, and he was a little moved when he heard this.
so.
"I'll spank you next time. A swelling on your forehead won't look good."
"Isn't this enough...huh?!"
A question mark popped up in the white-haired lolita, but she didn't care that he was teasing her. Instead, she smiled even more happily, "Actually, you can hit me anywhere. The main thing is that you woke me up. What I should be thinking about is to fight the "Tianli" with you." Turn the whole thing upside down instead of feeling sorry for yourself and living or dying. "
"That's right. Rather than guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it's better to be a thief for a thousand days."
Xu Shi was very happy.
"So smile, you don't look good with a straight face."
Xia Keyan reached out to grab his face, "By the way, although I didn't succeed in predicting the "natural law", I didn't gain anything. "
"Um?"
"I found that thanks to my recovery, I am now completely free from complications when making small predictions."
"How can it be considered small? How can it be considered big?"
Xu Shi said curiously.
"Well..."
The white-haired loli always felt that what he said seemed to have something different to say, but she didn't pay much attention to it. "You will understand if you give me an example. For example... someone will fall in front of you later."
As she spoke, she could feel the aura around her fluctuating, and she immediately understood. Was this ability activated again?
What she predicted was indeed a trivial matter.
so.
"Who will fall before me?"
Before Xia Kean could answer, he saw two figures rushing towards this side.
It's Xia Wuyou and Yu Xingchuan.
The two walked over one after another, and when they were still a few steps away from Xu Shi, they saw the adjutant lady suddenly slipped and staggered into Xu Shi's arms.
"Oops, I fell~"
"..."
Xu Shi nimbly dodged to the side, Ren Yuxingchuan threw himself onto the street and fell to the ground, and then looked at Xia Keyan with a constipated look on his face.
——Your calculation is quite accurate.
The white-haired loli suppressed her laughter until her stomach hurt. She knew that something like this was going to happen, so she deliberately kept her secret and didn't tell the whole story.
"Director Yu, what are you doing?!"
Xia Wuyou was a little unhappy, mainly because your fall was too fake! As long as you are not blind, you will know what your little calculation is... Anyway, she is disgusted with this kind of behavior. Bad woman, please don't come to pester our family Xu Shi, okay? !
"Hey, the floor is slippery..."
When the little trick was exposed, Yu Xingchuan was not embarrassed. He got up shamelessly and found a lame excuse to get over it.
If you get a chance, you should fight for it... She actually never thought that she could actually go to sea as a member of the fleet.
But now that you are here, you have to make good use of it. Even if your tricks are lame, as long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to climb up to Director Xu one day... Well, no, it is to gain Xu Shi's favor and then reach the sky in one step.
Come on if you are less than!
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."
Xu Shi raised his forehead helplessly, "What's the matter?"
"We also felt energy fluctuations here, so we came over to take a look at the situation."
Xia Wuyou cleared his throat and said seriously, "So it's my turn to ask you, what are you doing?"
The so-called energy fluctuations refer to the aura that Xu Shi mentioned before - the higher the level of the "upgraded ones", the more sensitive they are to the fluctuations caused by the "Rust Mist", especially Xia Keyan is still SS level, so it is normal for them to feel it.
"Ah, this..."
Xu Shi thought for a while and told them about what just happened.
Xia Maomao felt relieved when she heard nothing happened. She didn't pay much attention to anything else, but she was relieved to hear that her aunt was fine.
This is a good thing for her. Although the relationship between the aunt and nephew is a bit different now, they are still the most important relatives in the final analysis.
"That, and ha..."
Yu Xingchuan didn't care at all. He weakly intervened and said something else, "Director Xu, you have sailed about 500 kilometers now. Do you want to start building the first signal relay station?"
"...Well, you go make arrangements."
When it comes to business matters, Xu Shi is a little more serious, "For safety first, ask Chengcheng to come with you. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."
Xia Wuyou and Yu Xingchuan are both capable and capable, so Xu Shi naturally felt comfortable letting them serve as the first and second mates. They were also responsible for the daily overall management, so they came together just now.
They did a really good job. Not only the command ship, but the entire fleet was managed in an orderly manner.
As for the other selected combatants, there is no problem. For the sake of safety, Xu Shi selected mostly combat teams with a higher degree of transformation this time.
The main training is relatively simple. Just plug in the computer and fill in the relevant information. You don’t have to worry about them getting seasick like Xie Qingyan. Otherwise, will they have to connect the ships? Although we have the appearance of a prime minister, we cannot make the same mistakes as the prime minister.
"By the way, I'll check the course again and make sure everything is correct at all times."
"yes!"
Yu Xingchuan gave a not-so-standard military salute, "I've seen it before coming here. It's heading due west, the speed is thirty knots, and there are no problems with the power furnaces of each ship."
The fleet uses standard battleship speeds, and uses seawater for power. To be precise, it relies on the real-time extraction of "rust mist" in seawater as support - the inexhaustible handiwork of the engineering genius Jiang Chengcheng. .
Xu Shi nodded. He didn't have much interaction with the former adjutant and now the director of inspection, but it was undeniable that the other party's ability was beyond doubt. His previous performance in responding to the riots made him look at him with suspicion. .
This is his character... Anyway, Xu Shi knew that Yu Xingchuan was a bad guy when he was an adjutant. He even bought a large house in District 16 with his gray income, which is what many consortium executives do. Things that can’t be accomplished.
He knows what kind of person she is from a young age. No wonder Tang Shuang has such a headache for her... Including why do you think she went out of her way to crawl into his bed? Is it simply because he is handsome? No one would believe it.
You are not greedy enough. I have already asked you to be the Director of Audit. What else do you want?
One glance at the thimble identified her as a greedy and bad woman with a smiley face and a tiger style.
But he didn't care. A bad girl is much more interesting than a good sister. The voyage is far away and training with multiple people is also a kind of fun.
"...Ah, yes, yes, there is one more thing."
Yu Xingchuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he continued to report seriously and respectfully, "As you asked, we used sonar detection and captured some marine species. Do you want to let Xia, ah, Miss Xia..."
"...Okay, take me to have a look."
This Miss Xia is naturally talking about Xia Ke'an. She was entrusted by "Quill Pen" to record all kinds of experiences and experiences. After hearing this, she also knew that she can't be idle all the time. Xiao Ke'an has a serious job!
"Would you like to come with me soon?"
The old aunt stretched herself and asked enthusiastically.
"No, I'll go back to the cabin and take a rest."
Xu Shi patted her and said, "Go and play. Come to my room and tell me the story tonight."
"I don't want to go to your room."
The white-haired loli curled her lips and waved to Xia Wuyou and Yu Xingchuan to leave.
"Director Yu."
Before leaving, Xu Shi added, "The sea is not as good as the city. Remember to pay attention to safety. Your health comes first."
This is true. The City of Night Sin has a very good protection system to protect everyone from the "Rust Fog", and the version carried on the ship is weaker. There is always sea water below, so it stands to reason that they are Staying on the deck for so long is actually quite dangerous.
"...Okay, got it."
The adjutant lady was stunned. Is Xu Dong caring about herself? The key point is that he specifically mentioned himself, this...
Meeting the other person's peach blossom eyes, his gentle tone never seemed to be fake.
This made Yu Xingchuan a little proud.
Let’s just say, your approach is still useful, right?
The two people on the side saw this, but had no reaction.
Xia Mao Mao is not even jealous anymore, because she knows Xu Shi very well, and it is usually not a good thing for this person to show you kindness...
I just don’t know what he plans to do to Xingchuan...
But she wouldn't remind the other person to pay attention. Who told her to come here like this?
People who have been exposed to rain always hope that others will become drowned rats.
…
Xu Shi did not go back to his cabin, but went to the one at the stern.
As soon as the door is opened, the layout inside is quite luxurious, comfortable and spacious. It is no different than on land - most of the rooms on the command ship have this configuration. Although everyone is out to be pioneers of exploration, their abilities are limited. Within the scope of success, there is no need to go out of your way to endure hardship.
But even so, the people living in this room were still not very satisfied. The furnishings in the room were deliberately messed up, and the meals that were delivered remained untouched.
"Not to your liking?"
Xu Shi blinked when he saw this, and then gently advised, "Eat a little, Miss Shen Qin, what should I do if I'm starving?"
That's right, the one staying here is naturally Shen Qin, who was brought by Xu Shi as a bodyguard.
"...There's no need for you to pretend to be kind."
Shen Qin, who was sitting in a daze by the window, slowly turned around and looked at him with cold eyes, "You brought me here...how are you going to torture me?"
She actually didn't understand the situation at all - the fact was that since she was locked up in the training chamber that day, she once again knew nothing about everything that happened in the outside world. When she woke up, she arrived here, as if she was in a dream.
However, she knew very well that she was now under Xu Shi's control. As long as she understood this premise, she would not be happy.
"What you're saying is that asking you to eat is also torturing you?"
Xu Shi clicked his tongue, why doesn't the little girl recognize the good heart? "Or do you want to starve yourself to death by going on a hunger strike?"
"..."
Shen Qin remained silent and felt disgusted when he saw the other party pretending to care.
She really wanted to find something to fight for and die with the other person, but when she thought of what happened before, she gave up the idea.
The most contradictory part is here, she can't kill him, but she never wants to accept it, which makes her in a tangled and painful state all the time.
Especially the feeling of powerlessness that almost drove her crazy. This was the enemy who killed her brother in front of her!
However, when she just raised her head and glared at Xu Shi, she suddenly felt that her eyes were blurred.
In a daze, something seemed to overlap, causing her to blurt out uncontrollably.
"Brother...brother?"
