Bai Zhi suddenly felt that she was being targeted by something. If those spaceships were really coming to find her, she could not stay in the East China Sea now.
"Dongting, I seem to be being targeted. Regardless of whether the spaceship is chasing me or not, I'll go out first and then you can notify Zhang Tianzhao to send Mian Ning and Mian An to Tanggu first." Bai Zhi bit her lip, "It's me who is chasing me. I will find an opportunity to drop the coordinate crystal. If not, I will make a half circle to the forest farm and send Huang Xiaomiao, mother and daughter to Tanggu."
Yue Dongting pressed her shoulder hard and answered her decisively: "Okay, if it is you who is chasing you, don't be afraid of being exposed. If there is danger, you can teleport. If you can't teleport, just move forward. We will arrange the work. Look for you."
Bai Zhi nodded to him and immediately left the city, Da Qing Gong flew to the south away from the hunting team. This direction is at an angle of 60 degrees to the direction of the spacecraft, and it also avoids the Dragon Palace and No. 6 Forest Farm.
Bai Zhi was wearing a dark blue uniform and was gliding on the sea of blue grass. You wouldn't be able to tell unless you pay special attention. The five spaceships in the sky turned quickly, and the included angle was also 60 degrees. Their target is Angelica dahurica.
Bai Zhi took a medicine to restore the Qing Gong value, then cast herself a Speedy Movement Technique and continued running. The further she escapes and the longer she delays, the safer her children and Donghai City will be. The only question was how long it would take for these ships to chase her before they lost their sense of cat-and-mouse play.
The spaceship didn't seem to be in a hurry, lagging a few hundred meters behind Bai Zhi. The formation changed from a straight column to a semicircular encirclement.
Bai Zhi opened the panel during the Great Qing Gong session and read the notes. Yue Dongting wrote: Zhang Tianzhao has sent several children back to Tanggu.
Zhang Tianzhao wrote: Yun Lai is in front of you. Go find him. If you chase him too closely, you will teleport.
Haifengqiu's note only contained the word "be careful".
Bai Zhi sensed Yun Lai's location. Yun Lai was only dozens of kilometers away from her, so she immediately ran towards Yun Lai's direction.
A tent was set up by the river beach. Yun Lai sat in the tent and waited for her. With this tent as the center, there are two circles of thunder crystals buried several hundred meters around. If you detonate these thunder crystals and open the defensive cover at the same time, teleportation will definitely be no problem. This arrangement made Bai Zhi feel much more at ease, and she landed with confidence.
"Let's see what they want to do first. If there's anything wrong, we'll teleport." After Yun Lai said this, he was suddenly stunned. After a while, he said with a grimace: "I can't detonate the thunder crystal, and I can't teleport." . Can you try it?" He did not mention the space.
Trapped, if they don't enter the space, Yunlai and Bai Zhi will be captured at most. Before they die, they can touch the information about the spaceship and pass it to Hai Fengqiu for reference, and there is still a possibility of escape. The space where they are hiding is safe for the time being. The people on the spaceship will definitely dig deep to find the secret of their sudden disappearance. Haifengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao outside still want to protect Donghai and Dragon Palace. It is simply worse than death.
Bai Zhi tried to detonate one of the outermost thunder crystals, but there was no response, nor could she teleport. She smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do it either. Their methods are better than Ka's."
Yun Lai took out an exquisite ivory comb and said, "The remaining few minutes may be the last free time in our lives, so let me comb your hair."
Bai Zhi couldn't say no. She hadn't given Yun Lai anything. They might not be alive in a few minutes, so it didn't hurt to just let him comb her hair once.
Bai Zhi reached out and took off the hairpin, and her long hair fell loose. Yun Lai gathered her long hair, and the comb fell from the top of her head and slowly slid to the ends of her hair.
The wind is gentle, the clouds are moving, and the water is rushing. In the sparkling light, a spaceship slowly landed.
"I love you." Yun Lai said softly. This was his first confession to Bai Zhi.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept it." Bai Zhi replied softly. Even if they were alone in the last few minutes of her life, she couldn't lie to Yun Lai.
"I know." Yun Lai bit the comb and tied Bai Zhi's hair. He was so clumsy that he couldn't even tie his ponytail.
The spacecraft landed, the hatch at the bottom opened, and a tall man in uniform walked out.
Yun Lai turned his head and shouted over there: "Give me two more minutes." He once again tied Bai Zhi's long hair into a ponytail. This time he successfully tied the ponytail into a bun, but unfortunately his hand slipped when inserting the hairpin. Slippery, the bun came apart again.
The cool autumn wind blew over, and Bai Zhi's long hair spread out again, entangling Yun Lai's eyebrows. He lowered his head and hugged Bai Zhi tightly from behind.
Bai Zhi looked up and looked ahead. Although she could try the hiding space, she couldn't hide in the space for a lifetime. If people couldn't find her, they would go to the East China Sea. Instead of putting her family and friends in danger, she would just wait for people to catch her.
The man came closer and closer, his face was expressionless, he was about thirty-five or six years old, with fair skin, and was wearing a dark gray uniform shirt and tight pants. Bai Zhi noticed his armband, the main pattern was Tai Chi.
He looked at the two of them and said politely: "Can we talk?"
It is actually Mandarin. Although the intonation is as flat as a straight line without any fluctuations, it is the most standard Mandarin.
Donghai City is right there, and the monks can escape but cannot escape the temple. Facing the unknown force that they were unable to resist, Bai Zhi and Yun Lai did not struggle and walked toward the spacecraft obediently.
The man took the two into a small office.
Bai Zhi's first impression of the other person was not as cold and cold as Ka's. Her intuition told her that although the person opposite had a straight face, he actually had good intentions towards her. She looked at him calmly, "Why are you looking for me?"
The word Bai Zhi uses is to find, not to chase. There were obviously five spaceships, and catching one of hers was enough, but they didn't go to the East China Sea. They clearly came here specifically to find her.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you feeling it?"
Yun Lai silently wrote a note: We were caught, and the Mandarin spoken by the other party did not change the intonation. Pay attention to check whether there are such people in the East China Sea.
Over there, Haifengqiu and Yue Dongting both answered with a good word.
"Yes. How did you do it?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Someone made a mark on you. Our instrument just captured this mark." The man paused, and a piece of the metal wall behind him lit up, showing a standard photo of the card, "Do you know this person? ?”
Bai Zhi looked at it seriously for a few minutes and shook her head. She just killed people and didn't really know them.
"Think again?" The man's expression became gentler, but unfortunately his unchanging tone destroyed this gentleness.
Regardless of whether the other person is Ka's friend or enemy, they are still very friendly. Bai Zhi's attitude was also very cooperative: "I'm not sure if I've ever dealt with this person you mentioned. I have a...big flaw. It's hard for me to remember someone who doesn't appear in front of me every day. 's appearance."
"The mark on your body was made by him. If you have nothing to do with him, why would he leave a mark on you? How do you explain this kind of thing being sold in your territory?" The man took out a box covered with a transparent cover and placed it Push it across the table. Inside the box is an old space wallet made in the East China Sea.
Bai Zhi took a look and said calmly, "Before you came to me, I knew nothing about marks. The space wallet is a product of the Donghai Research Institute."
The man returned to his expressionless expression, "Is the technology for making a space wallet given to you by the card? Where is he?"
"Making a space wallet is the sudden awakening of the ability of one of our citizens. Later, someone in Donghai City awakened a similar ability, but the space bag he made could only be used for a few months. This guy opened a shop in Donghai Commercial District to sell bags , easy to find." Yun Lai interjected, "We have no ability to resist. We will cooperate with you no matter what you ask. Please don't embarrass us. We just want to live well."
Yunlai directly sold the person who made the space bag to others and begged to let him go. He was so spineless and shameless.
The man's brows twitched slightly again and asked, "What's going on with your defense shield in the East China Sea?"
"At the beginning of the apocalypse, there was a woman named Jiang Qingyue in Shanghai. Her superpower was a defensive shield. She was from the Jiang family in Shicheng. Jiang Qingyue's superpower was very useful. We were curious and went to study the Jiang family's research. So. This is their research result. I was the one who led the team there, and I was also responsible for the defensive shield project." Yun Lai simply took out a space wallet, took out a box of information and put it on the table. "The complete set of information is here. I don't understand the principle, but if you follow the instructions, you can make a defensive shield. The defensive shield consumes the crystal cores of mutant beasts as energy. In order to ensure the operation of several defensive shields in the East China Sea, we can only sell space. Exchange your wallet for crystal cores.”
The man yelled, took out a stack of documents, flipped through them, lifted the box of information and put it under the table, and then asked, "What's going on with that big tree in Donghai City?"
"The role of the source of evolution. There are many people staring at the source of evolution. The people from Xinjiang City took away the source of evolution. I don't know who has it now." Yun Lai smiled at the man, "Usually the source of evolution is Bai Zhi. For management and use, tell him how you use Angelica dahurica."
Bai Zhi wrote down everything they said to each other in notes, and Zhang Tianzhao and Haifeng Qiuyue Dongting were following their conversations simultaneously. As soon as Bai Zhi wrote down the man's question, Zhang Tianzhao wrote: The source of evolution is soaked in water, and the work records are in the studio. I will go home immediately to decorate the studio and replace the defensive cover. There is no Botanical Research Institute, it’s all done by you alone.
"Soak in water, dilute the solution and spray the plants, cultivate and select the seeds. We only have one piece of evolutionary source, which I have always kept. To keep it confidential, I did all this work alone." Bai Zhi thought for a while, and added: "I The work is recorded in the file cabinet in the studio. The evolution source solution has been used up, and I have no samples. The evolution source fragments... used to be something from the Area 1 Research Institute, taken from the Capital Research Institute, where did it come from before? I don’t know either.”
The man pondered for a while, "So, you know nothing about Ka?"
These people don't seem to care that much about the defensive shield and the source of evolution. They focus on whether these two things are related to the card, and they seem to be very interested in the space wallet. Bai Zhi quickly wrote down her observations and guesses.
"Who is he, and why did he leave a mark on Bai Zhi's body?" Lin Yunlai's nervousness was not fake. If Bai Zhi really had a mark left by Ka, people could still trace it. In addition to hiding in space for the rest of her life, Bai Zhi could also run away. Where to go?
"Fugitive, very dangerous. I also want to know why Ka left the mark." The man's attention turned to Bai Zhi again. Bai Zhi is wearing a dark green uniform, with long hair reaching her waist, skin that is better than snow, and picturesque eyebrows, which is extremely attractive. She looks as beautiful as an elf when running and sliding on the grass and forest. He ordered several times to catch the person closer, but his pilots were busy taking pictures of the video, and they were afraid that the beauty would fall face down when she lost her powers. No one was willing to get close, so he just let this little woman escape for dozens of kilometers. Is it okay? ? If it were him, he would also leave a mark for this little woman and take her with him when he leaves.
"Will Ka come to find her?" Yun Lai nervously grabbed Bai Zhi's hand.
"Definitely. You can call me Ze." Ze's expression did not change. "The only place Ka doesn't dare to go is my base, where you are safe."
"My name is Lin Yunlai. She is Gu Baizhi." Yunlai approached shamelessly, "You are quite kind. Where is your base?"
"The back side of the moon." Ze raised his wrist and looked at his wrist. There was a small watch-like device on his wrist, "It will be there in ten minutes."
Bai Zhi looked at the notes column. Yun Lai wrote down all the conversations between him and Ze. Haifengqiu typed a line for her to ask Ze. She followed Haifengqiu's prompt and asked: "Are you the moon before the end of the world?"
"We are not human beings on Earth." Before Ze could say the second sentence, a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes opened the door and delivered three drinks with straws. When the young man came in, he glanced at Bai Zhi and then looked at her a second time, and was surprised by Ze. Stared out fiercely.
Bai Zhi didn't even notice that the young man brought her autumn spinach, and continued the topic, "You look no different from us."
"You and I are of the same species, but we live on different planets. You are the descendants of immigrants. In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to the history museum of the Imperial City Galaxy, you will be able to find out this history." Ze paused, and then said: "Earth The location is too remote, and you can only communicate with the Imperial City Galaxy when the star gate is open. After the star gate is closed, time passes at a different speed on both sides. For humans on earth, the history is too long, so long that you have forgotten where you came from. We were very worried before we came, thinking that we could only find a few primitive tribes at most."
Bai Zhi quickly asked: "Is the great change in the earth's environment related to the opening of the Star Gate?"
Bai Zhi's thoughts were so fast that Ze almost couldn't keep up. He hesitated before answering: "When the star gate is opened, some substances will be produced. These substances can cause biological mutations, both good and bad."
"The source of evolution?" Bai Zhi asked simply.
Ze nodded, "The effect is similar. Do you want to return to civilized society?"
Bai Zhi and Yun Lai looked at each other. It seemed that they might or might not become mice anymore. They both smiled in unison.
Ze's base is in near-lunar orbit on the far side of the moon. The huge base of the hexagonal cylinder is suspended in the dark night sky, and the lights of each part of the cylinder are brighter than the stars in the night sky. Hundreds of triangular spacecraft and a dozen large shuttle-shaped spacecraft were parked at the top of the hexagonal cylinder. After the five small spaceships landed, a circular telescopic tube stretched out from the ground and connected to the hatch. The transportation vehicle gliding in the telescopic tube takes them directly to an airport-like space under the ground. The tall, empty space was brightly lit and filled with black screens. This place has obviously not been officially opened yet, and there is no one else except the three of them.
In the empty space, the footsteps were light and distant. After transferring to six or seven elevators, they entered the equally deserted living area. Ze thoughtfully sent Bai Zhi and Lin Yun into a suite, asked the two guests to rest, and left.
The suite is not big. There is only room for a couch in the small hall in the middle. The bathroom is shared. There are two small bedrooms facing each other. The furnishings are very simple. It looks like an ordinary double dormitory.
The leaders of the base had nothing to do no matter how idle they were. Hai Fengqiu estimated that it would be at least three or four hours before Ze would have time to find them, so he went straight into the bathroom. After a while, he changed into loose clothes and came out with the fragrance of soap locust. He said, "The bathroom has been checked. You can go take a bath without worries."
Bai Zhi was covered in dust from running and broke into cold sweats several times. She really needed to take a shower. She couldn't refuse Yun Lai's suggestion, so she quickly took a shower and changed out of her uniform.
Yun Lai, who was leaning on the sofa, shrank to one side to make way for Bai Zhi to sit down. Not long ago, one confessed his love and was rejected, and the other was soft-hearted and let him hug her. Now that the two of them were face to face, it was a bit awkward.
There is no monitoring equipment in the bathroom, and there cannot be any outside. Although they can use notes to discuss important matters, two people always have to talk in private.
Bai Zhi wanted to pick something to talk about. She thought for a while and asked seemingly casually: "This is the first time I heard you talk about the defensive shield. Have you been studying this before the end of the Jiang family?"
"Yeah. They don't know what method they used to stimulate the superpower. Although it's only a little bit, it's enough for experiments and exercises." Yunlai didn't have a cigarette in his hand, so he could only touch his right hand with his left hand regretfully, "Shichengjiang's family members all They are all dead, so there is no point in mentioning them. But the man named Ka, since he left a secret mark for you, must have appeared around you. Think about it again, have you ever encountered any strange people since you were a child? people?"
The two of them chatted all the time, looking very relaxed.
Donghai and Dragon Palace are extremely busy now. People on both sides of the Donghai and Qingqiu bases are meeting under the auspices of Yue Dongting to discuss the intentions of the alien spacecraft and system countermeasures for various possibilities. Hai Fengqiu was collecting supplies in the Dragon Palace, while Zhang Tianzhao and Hao Lang teleported to send their kindred and their families to Tanggu. Gu Tianbai and Hai Coral were also having a meeting to discuss what items could be exchanged once they were exposed, what items had to be kept in the box, and whether the relevant researchers should secretly send them to Yugu.
Ze, who possesses overwhelming force, is here to find Ka. And all of them, these modified humans, may carry Ka's genetic fragments. Ze’s purpose is unknown, so it’s better to hide Yi Zang first to transform people.
In the office at the base, the large screen on the wall was divided into two. One half was playing a loop of Bai Zhi running on the grass, and the other half was live broadcasting the conversation between Lin Yunlai and Bai Zhi.
"The information on the defensive shield is commercially available. There are quite a few people who have smuggled here over the years. This thing cannot be used as evidence that they are related to the card. Space equipment is very common in the former China. There are not many people in the base and we can hide it. The big deal The interests are shared. There are nearly a million people in the original China area. When immigrants return, each family will share tens of thousands. There is no way to hide it." The man who looked about eighty-nine percent like Ze thought for a while and said, "Before the Immigration Agency comes, we still have To operate the space, get one of the two people who make space equipment back in advance?"
"Lin Yunlai has already sold the one in Donghai City to us, don't worry. I called you here to show you this Gu Baizhi." Ze opened the video screen flying on the grass, "She just ran around in this state for a few times. Ten kilometers, Xin, have you heard of this ability in the Academy of Sciences?"
"Is this the woman who was marked by the card? She is truly a beauty." Xin looked at the beauty's back and his eyes lit up.
Ze turned off the video screen, "Did her ability come from natural mutation or was it passed on to her through a card?"
"Neither Ka nor several of his accomplices have this ability. At least there is no record of any of them having this ability in the data. It should be the result of natural mutation after winning the big prize when the star gate was opened." Xin zoomed in on the surveillance screen to look at the beauty's face, " Find a reasonable reason for me to contact them, and I want to study her abilities in depth."
"It's lunch time, let's treat them to dinner." Ze stood up and turned off the screen.
The luncheon was held in Ze's office. Both Xin and Yunlai were talkative, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. After the meal, the three men chatted in a corner. Bai Zhi sat on the sofa in a daze holding a drink cup. Xin sat down opposite Bai Zhi. He asked considerately: "Are you homesick?"
Bai Zhi nodded and smiled at him.
"Who else is there in your family?" Xin's Mandarin was not very standard, but his voice was low, gentle and quite charming.
Bai Zhi's fingers gently rubbed the water cup in her palm and said slowly: "The East China Sea is my home."
Xin's smile was sincere, "Give me your hand and I'll see your mark. Maybe I can remove it so you can go home."
"Is the mark on your hand?" Bai Zhi put down the water glass and calmly put her hand in front of Xin. She didn't believe the nonsense about being able to go home without a mark at all. The letter was just an excuse to check her body, and after that, he would use other excuses to detain her.
"Not necessarily, let's start with the hand." She trusted one of Bai Zhi's hands, looked at it carefully for a while, pointed to the knuckle where Hao Lang left the mark, and said, "Here."
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and repeated unconsciously: "Here?"
"The mark of the card, huh? There are marks under the mark." Xin's fingertips flicked over the knuckle a few times to remove the shield left by Bai Zhi, "What... is this, I can't quite understand."
It turned out that they mistook the mark of her power that blocked Hao Lang's mark for the mark left by the card. Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and decided not to use her power in front of the two aliens. She quickly wrote in the remarks column Explain the reason and ask them to inform Brother Hao Lang not to contact her.
Zhang Tianzhao, who happened to be with Hao Lang, quickly replied that he had been notified.
Bai Zhi, who was writing the note, looked like she was reminiscing about the past. Xin looked at Bai Zhi patiently, waiting for her to speak.
"It's a friend. When I encountered difficulties, he left me a mark so that I could find him easily. He helped me several times. He looked nothing like Ka." Bai Zhi frowned, recalling that episode. The past events related to Xining were not pleasant to her.
"What is the purpose of this mark?" It was Ze who asked. He strode over, and he could also sense the mark. The structure was very special, and he couldn't figure out what role it played.
"I can find him with this mark, and he will teleport to me." Bai Zhi smiled, knowing that there are also many people who have teleported Hao Lang. These people of the same species changed their clothes and went to the East China Sea to inquire, and the teleport brought them People's affairs cannot be hidden from others.
"Is that the bastard who came to the East China Sea to kidnap you?" Yun Lai's face looked very ugly, "He has been thinking about you for more than a day or two. If someone says a few nice words and runs errands for you, you will believe that he is a good person! Did you know that I left a mark to set you up and you can’t even get rid of it?”
Yun Lai directly skipped Hao Lang and grafted the matter onto Jiang Lingyi. Bai Zhi lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't know much about the Jiang family. Jiang Lingyi was dead, so she could make up any story. This can only be done by Yun.
Yunlai took a deep breath, "This person is really difficult to deal with. I don't know if he has anything to do with Ka. After all, we know nothing about Ka."
Xin and Ze wanted to get information about the card from Bai Zhi, and they also wanted to find out the details of the card from Ze.
"The card's mark has been removed. I will study this mark for a few days and I should be able to remove it for you." Xin put down Bai Zhi's hand and looked at Yun Lai with interest, "Tell me about this person."
Yun came up with what Jiang Lingyi had done, talked about the Jiang family's laboratory in Shicheng, and so on. He hid all the parts related to the transformation of people. He emphasized that the Jiang family could artificially stimulate superpowers, but did not It is mentioned that Jiang Lingyi is dead.
Both Xin and Ze listened attentively, and Ze finally concluded: "This is the style of one of Ka's subordinates. They are probably lurking in Donghai City. You said that all the information in the Jiang family laboratory is in Xijing?"
"Except for the ones I gave you, everything else should be in Xijing. The place in Xijing is strictly controlled and it is difficult for outsiders to sneak in. I don't know the specific situation," Yun Lai spread his hands and smiled, "Who is Ka?"
"Ka is the leader of a star thief gang. The empire has been hunting him. He and his men used a special method to pass through the star gate to the earth. He probably wanted to avoid being hunted while waiting for the star gate to open on the earth. The star gate When it is not turned on, one year in the Imperial City Galaxy is approximately equal to one thousand years on Earth. He has lived on Earth for many years and may have many subordinates. Remember to stay away from Ka and his associates when encountering them. They act without scruples and do anything. You can do it." Ze seemed to remember something and asked again: "Do you have a population registration record in Donghai?"
"We do have a household registration system. You're not here to steal our Donghai population, are you?" Bai Zhi looked at Ze, her bright eyes widened, and her nervous ears stood up.
When Donghai was mentioned, the beauty reacted like a little female cat whose cubs had been touched. She was so cute that she really wanted to touch her. Ze was frightened by his own thoughts. He coughed twice and said, "My mission is indeed to immigrate the existing humans on earth to a planet with a better living environment."
"Immigration? There are at least millions of people on the earth right now. Take them all away?" Bai Zhi really doesn't believe that alien humans come to earth to learn from Lei Feng.
"Each immigration ship can carry 100,000 people. If the population of the earth is ten times more, it will only take a few more trips by the fleet." Xin smiled and threw the bait outwards, "Most of the environments of the planets that are ready to accept immigrants are similar to Earth is similar, I think you’ll like it.”
"Even the people on Earth before the end of the world are not technologically advanced enough. They are no different from primitive people in your society. They have gone to great lengths to move them all away. What do you want? Are the excellent genes carried by the surviving humans after the star gate opened? Or are they? What you are doing requires clearing the earth of intelligent life?" Bai Zhi asked directly.
The beauty's thinking is too sharp, and she hits both of them. Xin's expression looked like he had a toothache.
Ze thought for a while and decided to get the entire East China Sea. Sooner or later, the beauty will be his own. He nodded and admitted.
"What if someone refuses to immigrate?" Yun Lai asked lazily.
"Those who don't leave are not considered intelligent creatures." Ze raised his eyebrows, "I have selfish motives for pursuing this mission. I hope to absorb new blood for my family within the rules. Are you interested in joining?"
