The good thing Zhang Tianzhao mentioned was a black square as big as a palm and shaped like a compass. If there is something like a meteorite or evolutionary source fragment within a few hundred meters nearby, the black square will flash red. After he showed Bai Zhi how to use it, he threw it to Hai Fengqiu.
Hai Fengqiu stretched out his hand to catch it and put it into his backpack, "It's for my use for the time being. The news that Mr. Qiao turned into a bug will not be sent back to Xijing until two months at the earliest. I want to take advantage of this time to go to Xijing and try to get another piece of Get the source of evolution."
"What if something goes wrong with the person holding the evolutionary source? You can't handle it alone. After Yunlai and Dongting fully recover in a few days, the four of us can go together." Zhang Tianzhao turned to look out the window. The sun was slightly warm today, and Mian Ning was driven to the yard by Xiao Shan to bask in the sun. The two children were playing happily in the yard.
From now on, ten out of ten evolutionary source fragments will be used to upgrade Bai Zhi. Zhang Tianzhao does not want Donghai or Haifengqiu to take too much risk. He said: "The temperature is rising. If something goes wrong with this piece, Qiao will have something wrong with the other piece." The possibility is very high. It would be better to wait until something goes wrong before taking action."
"Don't worry, I have laid out the situation beforehand. We will keep quiet after we get it. No one will think that it was us." Hai Fengqiu and Lin Yunlai looked at each other and smiled.
"Should our defensive shields in the inner and outer cities of the East China Sea be closed?" Yue Dongting took out a stack of documents with difficulty, took out one and flipped through it, and said: "Two big ones, plus two from the Dragon Palace, every month It’s a lot of consumption.”
"Don't worry, the research institute is still improving the energy consumption of the control box. Once successful, it can save 80% of the energy. They have been working on the problem for more than a month, and it should be almost done." Hai Fengqiu also noticed that Mi Ning was carefree outside. It's fun, he said with a smile, "It makes our children in Donghai happily bask in the sun, and the hard work is worth it."
Zhang Tianzhao took out a wooden box and said, "Look at this."
Hai Fengqiu opened the heavy box lid and let out a surprise. Inside the box were six fist-sized, shiny energy storage crystals filled with purple thunder energy.
"Hey, you two are working too hard." Yun Lai flicked a crystal, "No, this is not Bai Zhichong's."
Yue Dongting held an energy storage crystal in his hand, sensed the fluctuation of energy, and smiled, "It's this little guy Mian Ning. Zhang Tianzhao, you are a bit cruel in squeezing your son."
"He learned it after watching it a few times." Zhang Tianzhao glanced out the window, "It's also good patience and skill training for him. Our family can now earn eight yuan a month."
"Add one yuan to Third Brother, two yuan to Xiao Qi, two yuan each to Haifengqiu and I, and one yuan to Yunlai." Yue Dongting smiled brightly, "Sixteen yuan a month, based on current consumption, I can still save four yuan, so I can give one to The research conducted by the institute is enough. Let’s leave the defense shield in the East China Sea open.”
"In a few months, our family will be able to earn two or three more yuan." Zhang Tianzhao withdrew his attention from his son, "Yunlai, go to the mine when you have time and get some more small pieces of charging crystals. Wait for it. After the cost is reduced, we can equip each squadron with two superimposed small defensive covers. This thing is very useful in battle."
"We can rest assured about the safety of the exploration team in the future," Haifengqiu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "There is actually no need to open a defensive shield every day in the outer city. It would be better to build a small defensive shield to protect the city hall. With the defensive shield on, there is no difference between the inner and outer city, which does not reflect the superiority of Donghai citizens."
"Then the hunting team headquarters in the outer city and the security team headquarters will be placed together with the city hall?" Zhang Tianzhao frowned and thought, "If they are combined together, there will be major changes."
"Let's put them together. The dormitories and logistics will be placed in the inner city. Is it enough to demolish the commercial street and city hall in the inner city and rebuild the place?" Hai Fengqiu has no intention of using armed force to protect the outer city.
"It's enough to put warehouses and other facilities underground. The security team's patrol tasks will be intensified, and Brother Sha is going to yell at you." Zhang Tianzhao stood up and went to the table to spread out the paper roll and redraw the plan.
"My sister-in-law is here. Brother Sha has taken both pregnancy and maternity leave. Plus the annual leave he has accumulated over the past few years, he will have to take a total of two years! Which of you, Sheriff, will take the lead?"
"You!" The three people said in unison.
"Salary increase, whether it's a blind date or picking up girls, the title of Sheriff is very prestigious, you three really don't think about it?" Haifengqiu ignored Bai Zhi and looked at the three indifferent people with a frown, "I also want to lead the explorer The team was out running and I really wasn’t available.”
"I can teleport, running around is easier than you," Lin Yunlai raised his eyebrows proudly, "I will take care of the exploration team."
"After all the urban construction in the East China Sea is completed, I will definitely go out to search for minerals, and I will lead the exploration team." Zhang Tianzhao put down his pencil, "Let Yun Lai take care of it for the next few months. Only when you become a police officer can you be able to return to Shanghai. Those people from the city.”
"Those speculators!" Hai Fengqiu put away his smile, "I will never let them step into the inner city!"
"Brother Sha knows your determination, so he just ran away." Lin Yunlai stretched out happily, "Sha Ting's group of relatives and friends will arrive in the East China Sea in half a month. They are all women and children. You can't accept them. receive?"
"I can't live in the outer city." Hai Fengqiu snorted coldly, "You are recovering well. I will go to Brother Shaliu to handle the handover. Tomorrow we will go to Xijing to explore."
"No problem." Yun Lai tidied his hair energetically, "Tonight we can go to a black bar in Xijing and have two drinks."
"Yunlai, let me tell you, if you go out tonight, don't even think about recuperating at my house in the future." Zhang Tianzhao pointed to Haifengqiu, "You are the same, you are not allowed to leave the city until you have healed your injury. My son will get better quickly for you, even him I’ve given all my food to you, would you mind coming back with more injuries?”
"One of you can draw pictures, and the other can read documents. We really have nothing to do when we are at home." Yun Lai looked around and wanted to escape, but was hit in the arm by the ore illustrated book thrown by Zhang Tianzhao. He sighed and opened the book.
Hai Fengqiu smiled and took out an illustrated book of Chinese advanced plants with its cover rolled up from his backpack and flipped through it. He didn't mention going to Xijing again.
In the afternoon, Sha Liu and Hai Fengqiu completed the handover and happily asked Xiao Shan to send him to the Dragon Palace to accompany his wife. Hai Fengqiu took over as the Sheriff of Donghai, acted vigorously and resolutely, and moved the headquarters of the security team to the outer city the next day. In less than a week, the project of separating the inner and outer cities was completed.
The inner city is a purely residential area, and people who do not have Donghai registered residence are not allowed to enter. At the same time, the business district moved collectively to Longzhu Plaza in the outer city. There is no need for hunters to enter the inner city at all. It is very convenient to buy and sell things in the outer city. The municipal department also set up an area in the square for them to set up small stalls, and the outer city provides a large number of small single-room apartments and small courtyards with cleaning services. The treatment of free hunters is actually much better than before, but most people don't mind that they can't enter the inner city of purely residential areas.
Yue Dongting visited the streets and alleys of Donghai City this week and formulated a plan for the transportation of materials for greening Donghai. Soon, green shoots began to appear on the windowsills, balconies and special tile flower pots in the courtyards of residents in the inner city of Donghai. After the saplings, which were more than one meter high, were planted, they grew upwards as fast as the eyes could see. Within a few days, the streets in the inner city were filled with flowers and green trees.
Looking down from the high tower in the corner of the inner city, the inner city is full of green, flowers are everywhere in the streets and alleys, and there is almost no white space in people's yards. Everything is thriving. Except for the flower pots placed in the triangular square between the city hall and the hunting team security team headquarters, the outer city is still a large, deserted construction site.
"The conditions in the inner city are so good now. Do the free hunters have any resistance to not being able to enter the inner city?" Bai Zhi has been cleaning up the courtyard and balcony at home these days, not knowing the reaction from the outside world. Seeing the obvious differences between the inner and outer cities, she was worried that this difference would cause resentment.
"You can't feel this change without entering the inner city, but we have formulated several policies for free hunters to settle in the East China Sea." Zhang Tianzhao supported Bai Zhi, "Although it is quite difficult to meet this condition, apartments and courtyards in the outer city can You can rent or buy, and it’s easy to settle in the outer city, you don’t have to go to the inner city.”
"But there is no defensive shield in the outer city." Bai Zhi said regretfully.
"If the outer city is as safe as the inner city, and heroes like Sha Ting who know the current affairs can enjoy the benefits of the East China Sea without any effort, it will come like a tide. Then the persistence and efforts of us Donghai people in the past few years will not be worth it. Now." Zhang Tianzhao tucked Bai Zhi's wind-blown hair behind her ears, "Of course we need to attract talents to the East China Sea, but talents can only enjoy the same benefits if they make the same efforts as us."
"Even if there is no defensive shield in the outer city, it is still ten times better than Xinjiang City and Xijing." Qi Haoyu turned from the other side with a poker face, "Brother-in-law, I can go through the back door and get one for Captain Qi's family in the outer city. A bigger courtyard?”
"After the business district was moved to Longzhu Plaza, there were a lot of empty spaces in the inner city." Bai Zhi reminded him considerately.
"Just the outer city." Qi Haoyu turned to look at the residential area under construction in the outer city and said angrily: "He doesn't deserve to go into the inner city."
"The place in the outer city for immigrants from Xijing has been set aside in advance," Zhang Tianzhao patted Qi Haoyu comfortingly, "When we were in Xijing, we tormented Captain Qi a lot. We should also do our best to be landlords when he comes to the East China Sea. They moved here Then ask your fifth sister to send them some daily necessities."
"I'll prepare when I get back." Bai Zhi agreed with a smile.
Although Qi Haoyu never mentioned his relationship with Captain Qi, his concern for Captain Qi was obvious. This child is smart and sensible enough, but his real age is still under twelve years old. The more important he is to people and things, the more childlike he becomes in dealing with them. Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao once discussed the relationship between Captain Qi and Qi Haoyu, and the two came to the same conclusion: Qi Haoyu would not ask if he didn't mention them, but they would have to treat Captain Qi as a relative in the future.
"Sir, this is really troublesome." Qi Haoyu turned to the other side again, complaining but walking briskly.
The naughty boy is actually a good boy who cares about others. Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao looked at each other and smiled.
There was Hong Xingluan's teleportation plug-in in Xijing, and with Qi Haoyu's help, Director Hao moved all the researchers and family members of the institute he could collect, as well as half of the Hao family, to Donghai City. Bai Zhi took her children to the community where they lived, and expressed her welcome to the new immigrants as a family member of the leader of Donghai.
Captain Qi's family only has a wife who has been married for only two years and a ten-month-old son. Bai Zhi made some insinuations. Mrs. Qi met Captain Qi on a blind date two years ago. She didn't know anything about Captain Qi's previous experience, and she didn't know who else was in Captain Qi's family.
Mrs. Qi couldn't understand that her husband, who was a good official in Xijing, came to Donghai to become a free hunter without an official or position. She was very angry when chatting with Bai Zhi, and repeatedly asked why Donghai didn't arrange jobs for them. Bai Zhi could only smile at her.
Captain Qi completely ignored his angry wife and invited Qi Haoyu out for a drink. Qi Haoyu said that he would cook for his sister and bathe his nephew when he returned home later, but he firmly refused. On the way home, Qi Haoyu couldn't hold it back and complained to Bai Zhi: "You asked me to go drinking when I was young. There is no such thing as cheating on my son. He is not good to his new wife, and he doesn't know how to help with housework when he is at home." Child, why did my mother fall in love with a scumbag like him back then?"
Bai Zhi held his arm lovingly, "Are you really not going to tell him?"
"Don't tell me. His wife is overly anxious at the first sight. If she is frightened, it will be troublesome. My name is Gu Tianyu, and I have nothing to do with Qi Haoyu." Qi Haoyu threw Mian Ning in his arms over his shoulders, "I am now He's Mi Ning's uncle, Mi Ning, right?"
"Yes." Mian Ning was not in a good mood. He jumped on Bai Zhi's back and hugged her mother's neck tightly. "Mom, if one day I suddenly grow up and change my appearance, will my father also do the same? Do you recognize me?"
"You have the same curly hair as your father, and your mother can communicate with you spiritually. Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't do it." Bai Zhi held his feet to prevent him from sliding down, "Uncles have awakened supernatural powers. This happens when there is no one to accompany them and they lose control. You have already awakened your powers in the company of your uncle, what are you afraid of? "
"Uncle Haoyu and Uncle Xiaoshan and I are different." Mian Ning buried her head in the crook of her mother's neck. "I am also different from uncles three and seven. No one is the same as me. I'm afraid."
Bai Zhi comforted him gently, and also comforted Qi Haoyu, "In today's world, everyone is constantly mutating and evolving. No one is exactly the same as anyone else. I am different from them, and no one is the same as me."
"Yes, Mom, you are the most special. No one is like you. Uncle Xiaoshan and Uncle Haoyu are also a little different." Mian Ning looked up at the road ahead, switched modes and said to his mother and uncle with consciousness: "One hundred meters There is an aunt outside who keeps staring at us, and she is here for my mother."
"It's Sha Shuang, she has companions." Qi Haoyu's eyes flashed, "Why did she come to the East China Sea?"
"She must have brought a group of relatives and friends to settle in the East China Sea. I'm going to take advantage of her again." Bai Zhi thought of the Sha family's usual style and had an ominous premonition.
"Why?" Qi Haoyu and Mian Ning asked at the same time.
"I have had a fight with the Sha family, and that person is no match for me. The Sha family used to have a high status in District 1, and it has become a habit to get the best in both food and drink. Sha Ting's family and friends want to settle in the East China Sea. The city will definitely not let them in. At this time, no matter what I say or do, the people of the Sha family will call me a bully." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly.
"I heard that Xinjiang City is good, so I ran to Xinjiang City. If I can't survive in Xinjiang City, I want to go back to Donghai. They think everyone is bullying them." Qi Haoyu didn't hide his contempt for the Sha family at all when he spoke.
Mian Ning climbed back onto Qi Haoyu's shoulders again, "I heard that aunt's companion said bad things about Donghai people. I want a consul, not such people to live in Donghai City."
"When you become a consul, you will look at these people and things from a different perspective." Bai Zhi took Qi Haoyu's outstretched arm again and spoke aloud: "I think your curriculum needs to be changed. History The weight should be increased.”
"I hate them even more now." Qi Haoyu muttered, and Mian Ning nodded in agreement.
A few dozen meters away, Sha Shuang was still thinking seriously about how to make a request to Bai Zhi. She brought her family group to Donghai City this time. On the one hand, it was because Donghai City had a defensive shield, sufficient security and welfare, and was suitable for family life. On the other hand, she also sent hostages to Donghai to express Sha Ting's attitude of surrender.
As the peace officer who controls the armed forces of the East China Sea, Sha Liu is the number two and number three leader in other cities. Regardless of whether his family comes to the East China Sea, his men will definitely take the initiative to make arrangements. After arranging for the relatives of the Sha family, it is impossible for Donghai to ignore the remaining women and children.
According to Sha Shuang's estimation, as long as she and Sha Liu met, the matter of handing over nearly a hundred family members to Donghai would be settled. She didn't expect that men in Donghai City also had maternity leave, and she didn't expect that her brother-in-law would take a two-year leave to go home to accompany his aunt to give birth to the baby.
The girl at the door of the security team was very enthusiastic and told her that the current Sheriff of Donghai was Hai Fengqiu. Sha Shuang asked to see Hai Fengqiu instead. The younger sister said that Hai Tou had already said hello. Except for a few people he named, he didn't even see him during working hours. Shashuang struggled to find out that Haifengqiu allowed him to come to him during working hours for personal matters. Apart from Haihuan and Xiaofei, the only other person was Gu Baizhi.
Based on Sha Shuang's understanding of Haifengqiu, she knew clearly that Haifengqiu would not give face to any Sha family member except Shaliu, but Haifengqiu allowed Gu Baizhi to come to him at any time, and he would never refuse Bai Zhi's request.
Sha Shuang said hello to her companions, walked quickly towards Bai Zhi, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still so beautiful." She is slightly thinner than in previous years, and her long ponytail has become super short, with a linen short hair. Wearing a leopard-print fur vest outside the shirt, coupled with a longbow and quiver, the wild, sexy and capable female hunter has an alluring temperament.
"You look so good like this now." Bai Zhi also envied Sha Shuang's change. She pointed to the tavern on the opposite side of the road and said, "You are not allowed to go in and out casually in the inner city. I can't invite you to sit at home. Come in and sit for a while and chat."
"Okay. Why is there a rule prohibiting entry and exit from the inner city?" Sha Shuang asked knowingly.
"Donghai City is now too big for the security team to take care of. The inner city is a purely residential area. Buying and selling things and going to the municipal departments to do business are all in the outer city. Hunters don't need to go to the inner city. To save trouble, they simply ban everyone. Entering the inner city." Bai Zhi turned around and looked at the few people following Sha Shuang from a distance, "Are those your friends? Call them over and sit with them."
"They are going shopping." Sha Shuang looked in awe at Qi Haoyu who opened the door without saying a word, "Is your younger brother also from Tanggu?"
"Yes." Bai Zhi smiled, "He doesn't like to talk, so you don't need to greet him."
Sha Shuang teased Mian Ning to call her aunt. Mian Ning refused to pay attention to this aunt who directly caused them to have more homework, and turned her head away in disgust.
Sha Shuang finished her courtesy and asked Bai Zhi directly: "I am here to send my brother's family members to settle in the East China Sea. Is there any difference between living in the inner city and the outer city?"
"You can only live in the inner city if you have a Donghai household registration. In terms of life, it may be more convenient to live in the outer city now."
"But everyone can come and go freely in the outer city, so the inner city is safer, right?"
You can go in and out of the outer city at will, and it doesn't make much difference whether the defensive shield is on or off when nothing is wrong. Bai Zhi avoided talking about the defensive shield and said: "There are a lot of people waiting in the outer city, but with the security patrol team, safety is still guaranteed."
"What are the requirements for applying for a Donghai household registration? Can I just be a relative of a Donghai resident?" Sha Shuang omitted the fact that there is actually the attributive "direct" before relatives.
"It's not just this." Bai Zhi looked at Sha Shuang with a smile. Sha Ting must have been doing well in Xinjiang City in the past few years. Sha Shuang still has the same style as the Sha family used to do. "I have been helping the research institute. How exactly? I don’t know how it works.”
"No matter how you operate, your words will work. How about you help me confirm the Donghai household registration for these women and children?" Sha Shuang's request was taken as a matter of course.
"Those who meet the regulations can settle down directly. If they don't, I can't help." Bai Zhi smiled at Sha Shuang, "I'm just an ordinary family member, and our family Zhang Tianzhao doesn't have that much power."
"Hai Fengqiu has power." Sha Shuang's smile contained an indescribable meaning, "Just tell him and it will be easy to do."
"What should I do to convince him?" Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "The high benefits enjoyed by Donghai household registration are not the result of any one person, but come from the efforts of all Donghai people. How can people who have not sweated and shed blood for Donghai City enjoy all this?"
"We went to Xinjiang City to develop in order to give District 1 one more choice. The situation was so bad at that time, we couldn't put all our hopes in one place, and developing separately was the best choice." Sha Shuang smiled bitterly and found an excuse, "Although we It is true that you are going there for the possibility of better development. But I can guarantee that if today's situation is reversed and you send your children to Xinjiang City, we will definitely accept you unconditionally."
"Why did you leave Xinjiang City?" Bai Zhi asked back.
Bai Zhi's rhetorical question was too sharp, leaving Sha Shuang speechless.
"The outer city of Donghai comes and goes, and we accept everyone unconditionally. We provide sturdier and safer residences than Xinjiang City, as well as a cheap and abundant supply of fresh food." Bai Zhi smiled at Sha Shuang, "But the requirements Arranging Donghai household registration for a large number of people is too difficult. If you open this hole, anyone who claims to be a relative of the leader can arrange for seven aunts, eight aunts, and even the wives and children of his subordinates to enjoy high benefits. What else can you do if you ask the leader to work? Do?"
"We are Sha Liu's family!" Sha Shuang emphasized the identity of the Sha family.
Bai Zhi slowly counted the sources of the high welfare of the East China Sea, "You have not planted a grain of food for the East China Sea, nor dug a stone for the construction of the East China Sea, nor have you woven a piece of cloth for the East China Sea. You plan to establish a base in Shanghai for yourself. You work hard, but you want your family to eat and drink in the East China Sea, and your calculations are too precise. You can’t live in the outer city. If you don’t want to pay for the rent in the outer city, you can live in the house in the settlement outside the city for free. As long as you don’t If you violate the regulations of the East China Sea, no one will drive you away."
"Gu Baizhi, what's your attitude?" Sha Shuang couldn't accept Bai Zhi's attitude of treating the Sha family as ordinary people. Although life in Xinjiang City is difficult, Sha Ting has been close to the core of power in Xinjiang City. It is a matter of law to receive convenience and special treatment because of his status, and it is abnormal not to give it. Although Sha Shuang tried her best to suppress it, her frustrated and annoyed emotions still showed on her face.
The bartender holding the rag had been listening for a long time and was quite unimpressed by Sha Shuang's condescending attitude. He jumped in and said, "You're trying to gain privileges by pretending to be a relative of a leader. This is the attitude of us Donghai people!"
Having said that, there is no need to maintain false politeness. Bai Zhi simply made it clear, "Since Sha Ting left from District 1, we don't care if you build a base at the original site of District 1. But you don't want to have anything to do with Donghai."
"I'll go back later and send someone to set up a point in Shanghai, so that the people who defected to Donghai won't be able to figure out where they are." Qi Haoyu smiled coldly, "By the way, it's time to limit food purchases."
"I will bring it up during the meeting." Bai Zhi smiled, "Sha Shuang, let's stop this topic."
Sha Shuang's second purpose in coming to the East China Sea was to get a batch of grain and seeds through the route of Sha Liu. Not only did Bai Zhi refuse to help, she even cut off the chance to buy food. She clearly didn't want Sha Ting to survive in Shanghai. Sha Shuang was furious and asked with a sneer: "Gu Baizhi, is this your attitude towards old friends? You are driving us to death!"
"The East China Sea region only needs one Donghai City." Bai Zhi's smile was still gentle. "You must build a base in Shanghai City. You will not get any help from Donghai City. It would be great to be a free hunter in Donghai City."
"Don't even think about it!" Sha Shuang stood up and strode out.
