After hearing what Anton said about what happened in the hangar, Li Youde sighed: "Lin Ao, I can't see that he is such an impulsive person... What if he is in danger?"
Anton was obviously still angry with Lin Ao: "Let me go find him and bring him back with the princess, and see how I deal with him!"
"It's just to save one person... There is no need to send two humanoid weapons. I will let all the fighter jets go out to find them. The most important thing right now is to repair the Osiris as soon as possible. Just now, the people in the power room told me that another engine had to be stopped. used."
"Oh... well, I hope the people in the fighter unit will find them as soon as possible. What's the matter..." Anton sighed and asked: "What about Natasha? How to deal with her?"
"She is your team member, let you handle it."
"Then I will put her in confinement first. It seems that she is repenting. I will criticize and educate her."
Li Youde nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, next, I should think about how to explain to all the crew that there is a HER princess hidden on the ship..."
…
Space colonial satellite "Business"
Dr. Hohenheim followed Dr. Rick to the arsenal located underground at the headquarters of the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Rick was mysterious and did not explain what he wanted to show him. If it were in the past, Hohenheim would definitely reject this crazy guy's invitation, but Rick had just given him the relevant information on photon technology not long ago. In this case, Rick would definitely not be disadvantageous to him.
Along the way, Hohenheim saw many weapons that were being secretly developed by the Moore Chamber of Commerce, including several mysterious yellow passages, the Ten Swords No. 10 machine that was entering the debugging stage, and the dilapidated Ten Swords No. 9 machine that had just been recovered from Mars not long ago. machine. When he passed by a certain manufacturing workshop, he stopped. Workers in the workshop were measuring the data of some parts. Although they were just parts, Hohenheim recognized them at a glance.
"This!? The 5th and 6th arms that were originally planned to be installed on the Ten Swords Unit 2? Hasn't the plan to develop follow-up equipment for the Unit 2 been cancelled? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Rick obviously had no interest in this and urged: "It's just making two arms. I'll leave it to others."
Hohenheim protested: "Why do you always do this! Even if you are the director and I am the deputy director, you should tell me about this kind of thing. I designed Unit 2!"
"It's so noisy! Come with me!"
Helpless, Hohenheim knew Rick's temper, muttered a few words and continued to follow Rick. The two walked for about ten minutes and finally arrived at their destination.
"Look! Do you recognize it?"
Rick pointed to a damaged merchant ship that was being renovated with excitement like a child. Hohenheim shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, why are we still producing battleships now?"
"This is the Seth that was attacked by pirates not long ago. After this incident, the Moore Chamber of Commerce has reason to arm its own merchant ships."
"Set...Set..."
Hohenheim muttered, failing to understand Rick's reason for letting him see the ship. Rick liked to see him being tricked by him. After admiring it for a while, he said: "This ship will set sail in a few days, and will go to the colonial satellite 'Week' where the Wan Chamber of Commerce is located to produce ship weapons. More The resources of the battleship, and I have made arrangements, this time you will follow it and leave the Moore Chamber of Commerce, and don’t come back again!”
Hohenheim was speechless, and cold sweat broke out instantly. Why did Rick say that? Did he know that he was in contact with Wan's Chamber of Commerce behind his back? Who else knows besides him?
"I...I..." Hohenheim subconsciously wanted to defend, but Rick's expression changed and he took out a data disk and handed it to him. He said in a rare exhortation tone: "You have a PhD in biology, right?"
"Huh? Yes."
"Very good, you should keep this thing, be sure to open it and read it after you leave the Seth. After reading it, don't contact me again!"
"...What exactly do you want me to do? You said you don't want the Moore Chamber of Commerce to monopolize photon technology and reveal it to me, and now you give me this thing that sounds dangerous..."
"You are a smart person, and a smart person with a conscience. But I am different. I don't know if I still have this kind of thing. What I can't do, I hope you can do it for me, because you can still get away with it. , but I can’t do it anymore, and I’m even enjoying it.”
Hohenheim noticed that Rick showed a rare wry smile when he said this.
"Rick, I don't understand what you're talking about..."
"You will understand later. Goodbye, Hohenheim!"
Rick turned and left, leaving Hohenheim standing in front of the Seth looking thoughtfully at the data disk in his hand.
…
"Thoth, there isn't one here either??"
"You have asked this question 100 times in the past three hours! If I find something, I will tell you naturally! And I am not a dog! I am not good at sniffing things and looking for people!"
It had been three hours since Lin Ao left the Osiris, but there was still no trace of Elizabeth. As the sky gets darker and darker, the ominous blood-colored dust haze floating in the sky emits a breathtaking red light under the illumination of the burning rainforest in the distance. This red light reflects on the barren land, making it appear... The earth wanted to be burned red, and Unit 2 in this world was like a devil walking alone in hell.
"Elizabeth, where have you been? She can't go far in such a short time."
"If you can't see it, maybe it was swallowed by quicksand or eaten by wild animals."
"Hello!!"
"It's possible."
It's not that Lin Ao hasn't thought about the possibility of what Toth said, but he doesn't dare to think too much about it.
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Ao's eyes became difficult to open due to overuse. He wanted to reach out for the can of coffee adhering to the ceiling, but when he looked up, he saw a wisp of green smoke in the distance, rising like a snake.
"Toth, there's smoke there!"
"Are you stupid? The Congo rainforest is still burning, but that doesn't mean there is smoke."
"I'm talking about the other direction! At 7 o'clock, zoom in on the image there."
"That's like a small primitive settlement that may eat people. If your girlfriend was there, the smoke would have been boiled into soup."
Lin Ao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Tot and manually drove the machine there. As we get closer, the smoke becomes more and more visible. It was a gathering place next to a small oasis. What made Lin Ao feel relieved was that in addition to some simple wooden houses or mud houses, there were also tents in the gathering place. This was obviously not the style of a primitive tribe.
The people in the gathering place seemed to be preparing dinner. When they saw the unidentified aircraft landing not far away, the men alertly picked up their rifles and rocket launchers, and the children were pulled into the house by the women. In order to lower his profile, Lin Ao drove the machine slowly towards the gathering place and shouted: "Sorry, I'm looking for someone! A girl. Have you ever seen a girl with short blond hair?"
Lin Ao asked twice, but there was no response at all. Just when he was discouraged and planned to leave after asking again without any results, a familiar figure stood out in the crowd, and that was Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth!!"
Lin Ao excitedly jumped off the machine and ran staggeringly in the sand towards the gathering place. The men there wanted to raise their guns to signal him to stop, but Elizabeth waved her hand and the men put down their weapons. It seemed that in just a few hours, she had become familiar with the people here.
"Elizabeth!!"
Seeing Lin Ao running towards her shouting her name, Elizabeth couldn't hide her excitement. The two ran towards each other and finally hugged each other in the sand. Although the two were not lovers, they couldn't care less at the moment. It was as if there was a hand pushing them towards each other. People who might have been separated by the world miraculously came together again.
"Elizabeth! I'm sorry! I should have kept an eye on Natasha, she already knew she had done something wrong, and I will go ahead!"
Elizabeth wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head, took Lin Ao's hand and walked towards the gathering place: "There is someone I want to take you to meet."
"How did you get here? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I met them on the way and was taken in by them. They are a group of escapists who left the city and lived together because they hated the war. I want to take you to meet their shaman."
"Shaman?"
Lin Ao was a little confused. At this moment, he had been introduced to the gathering place. There was no hostility towards him in the eyes of the people here. Judging from their clothes, they are indeed people who have lived in the city, but if it is really a small settlement of modern people, why is there a shaman?
Seeing that he was confused, Elizabeth explained: "This shaman seems to have been living near here. She taught these people to live in the desert. It is thanks to her that I am accepted by them, and she seems to want to see you."
"see me?"
The more Lin Ao listened, the more confused he became. He was taken to a low tent. Inside, there was an old woman sitting cross-legged. Her whole body was covered with various strange patterns. It was impossible to tell her age. In addition, The various jewelry embedded on the body is indeed a shaman's dress.
She raised her eyelids slightly and saw Lin Ao's company. She showed her teeth blackened by charcoal and smiled: "You are finally here... sit here, kid, and that girl, and let me predict your future."
