As soon as the Qinglong passed through the star gate, Bai Zhi found that her perception had become sharper, as if the thick and greasy layer of dust attached to the surface of her consciousness had been wiped away. Then, she saw three fortresses in her consciousness. Countless machines were busy shuttling in the dark space, dismantling the largest one and merging the two smaller ones into one.
Bai Zhi had been mentally prepared for a long time, but she was still surprised. She thought Qi Haoyu might also have a fortress, but she didn't expect that she actually had three.
Two consciousnesses said to her at the same time: "The equipment needs major repairs. The energy of this star gate allows us to complete the work within a year."
A consciousness said cheerfully, "I have added a plan for manufacturing agricultural robots to your work plan. Do you want to change the operating procedure to a simpler one?"
"Please maintain the status quo for the time being. Will your absorption of the Star Gate's energy have any adverse effects on both sides of the Star Gate?" Bai Zhi felt that she might have found the reason why the Zhou family failed to open the Star Gate. Maybe the temporary star gate on the Imperial University Science Island had also been closed. Have something to do with them.
"This star gate has been closed for more than 10,000 years. Closing it will not have any impact on the surrounding environment. There are many powerful creatures here. Before we completely repair it, don't use it if you can't use your perception ability." The second one Consciousness is very wordy.
The first one told Bai Zhi: "Pay attention to safety."
Bai Zhi still had many questions to ask, but a gentle force pushed her out of the world of perception. She adjusted the monitor and looked back. The last spacecraft had just passed through the star gate, and the dark blue light curtain in the middle of the huge metal frame had disappeared. There are only nearly a hundred spaceships and a dilapidated fortress in the cosmic space on this side of the star gate. The fortress' engine sprays out a dark blue flame tail, which looks increasingly desolate and lonely against the empty black background.
"Is the star gate switch in the hands of the Zhou family?" Hai Fengqiu was shocked.
Now is the best time to confess to Haifeng Qiuyue Dongting. Bai Zhi turned to face him and said seriously: "It has nothing to do with the Zhou family, it has something to do with me. I have something important to say."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "The gang territory does have self-awareness, two of them. They just talked to me and told me that they want to absorb the energy of this star gate. They also told me that there are many people here who are stronger than us. Creature, tell me to try not to use my senses."
"Have they told you what they are?" Haifengqiu's voice trembled.
Bai Zhi said it was a good time to choose this time. Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai looked at each other silently without speaking.
Yue Dongting said in surprise: "The gang is not your superpower?"
"It's not a superpower, there are two of them - one has been with me since I was a child. I can survive thanks to it. It has been in a shutdown state. It absorbed the energy of the star gate opening on the first day of the apocalypse and did not use it to repair it. Myself, but according to my habits, I created a gang system to help me and you. There is another one who we live under the cave in Kunlun Mountain. The one you feel, I don’t know when he came to me. . He protected many people in Kunlun. Just now they mentioned operating systems and reboots to me. I guess they may be biological intelligent brain hosts created by human civilization in previous seasons. They helped five of us. They didn’t ask me for anything. They are independent consciousness and very friendly intelligent life, aren’t they?”
These two intelligent beings not only raised Bai Zhi and helped several of them, but also indirectly helped the people in the entire East China Sea. Except for the automatic absorption of energy when the star gate was opened, they did not need anything and did not ask Bai Zhi to pay anything.
Yue Dongting rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time. He felt that if the other party had other plans for Bai Zhi, he would not wait until now. He put down his worries and asked, "Did they say what they will do after absorbing the energy?"
"Repair the fortress. Our gang's territory is part of the fortress." Bai Zhi thought for a moment, and when it came to Qi Haoyu's interests, it was better for her to hold back a little. She did not mention the number of fortresses, and only said: "I won't do it without reference. I know the exact size of the fortress, but it shouldn’t be smaller than Earth.”
Whether it's a gang territory or a fortress, as long as the changes don't cause damage to Bai Zhi, there's nothing to worry about. Hai Fengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao exchanged glances and remained silent.
The prompt sounded cheerfully: "There is a communication request from the Zhou family."
Zhang Tianzhao popped up a string of thunderballs to burn out all the cameras, and then threw a throat voice changer to Haifengqiu before connecting to the Zhou family's communications.
Everyone in the Zhou family on the other end of the video screen knew him. It was Zhou Wendi who was pursuing Jiang Qingyue and came to Zhang Tianzhao for help. Zhou Wendi has changed from a handsome young elite to a plump middle-aged man with an amiable smile.
"Who is the captain...?" Middle-aged Zhou Wendi's Imperial dialect had an obvious earthly accent, which was a little weird.
"The record has been sent to you, isn't it? What else is there?" Haifengqiu said angrily.
Zhang Tianzhao silently reminded everyone to look at his smart brain screen. His screen was split into two, with one half showing the other party's video signal and a Trojan attached to it. Dialog boxes that kept popping up showed that the Zhou family's Trojans had been installed on the Qinglong boat's smart brain self-extracting machine. . The other half shows that the Hao Xing brand Trojan has been installed successfully and is actively transferring the data in the other party's brain.
Zhou Wendi said: "Your spacecraft only has two engines working now, and you are still towing three spacecraft that have completely lost power. You need the friendship of the Zhou family."
Hai Fengqiu responded with three words: "Speak humanly."
"Either die or surrender." Zhou Wendi's response was domineering.
From the perspective of the overall environment, there is a hasty escape through a random stargate, the strange stargate that has just been passed is closed again, only two of the spacecraft engines are working normally, there is no way to retreat, the future is confused, and the supplies carried on the spacecraft are limited, no matter what anyone can do Feeling that he is in a difficult situation, even if there are thorns in the olive branch extended by the Zhou family, he will take it.
In fact, the spacecraft that had received this video had surrendered to the Zhou family, and now it was the Qinglong's turn.
They surrendered by tying their hands and entering the laboratory to wait for slices. Hai Fengqiu used silence to buy time. Zhou Wendi smiled reservedly on the other side of the screen.
Soon Zhang Tianzhao made a gesture and asked everyone to look at the screen. The system used by the Zhou family to communicate with the Qinglong is a system commonly used by the empire. The Trojan horse that invaded with the help of video signals has already moved all the Zhou family's information. Hai Fengqiu turned off the communication, disconnected the rigging that was pulling the spacecraft, turned the ship's bow and flew out of the queue.
A few seconds later, Lin Yunlai grabbed Bai Zhi and Yue Dongting and teleported into the empty cargo hold of a cargo ship. Zhang Tianzhao and Haifengqiu put on protective suits and teleported into the gap between the two engine groups of a large cargo ship belonging to the Zhou family. A narrow living cabin was assembled, which could only accommodate five chairs and a toilet, which was enough for them.
Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao checked the Zhou family information package together. The information package was full of the empire's star map and information about the Shaoxing star. There was almost nothing useful. The most valuable thing seemed to be the list of fleet members including photos, but none of them except Zhou Wendi could be found in the list. acquaintance.
"They should move everyone to the fortress." Hai Fengqiu played the video on the screen. He installed several detectors outside so that he could easily observe the movements of the Zhou family.
Several teams of space mechas with a distinct Feng family style left the fortress, dismantling the powerless spaceships one by one, and forcing out the people hiding in the mezzanine of the spacecraft. This method is very effective for others, but it is useless for the five-person group with their own backpack cheats. After dismantling all the unpowered spaceships, the Zhou fleet still could not find the people on the Qinglong, and stayed in place for several days before leaving.
The fleet flew for a week and encountered the first ship with a huge sail wing. The spacecraft seemed clumsy, but its speed was actually not slow. Before Zhang Tianzhao began to calculate the data of the new spacecraft, a sailing fleet met and exchanged fire with the Zhou family fleet. The Zhou family's mecha warriors crushed their opponents with an overwhelming advantage, and the encounter quickly turned into cleaning the battlefield.
Hai Fengqiu commented on this battle: "The fighting style seems familiar. It feels like there are many old friends in the Zhou family."
"The mechas they use are second-hand products that have been eliminated by the Feng family. The intelligent system and power system have been modified." Zhang Tianzhao closed the Trojan software. "The battle is over. If I attack their defense system again, I will be exposed. Wait until next time. .”
Soon after the Zhou family's fleet cleared the battlefield, they encountered a large force of nearly a thousand sailing craft and decisively turned around and ran away. This wandering life of fighting if you can, and running away if you can't, has continued for nearly two months. The Zhou family fleet finally accumulated enough energy to open the temporary star gate again.
There are many spaceships here at the Star Gate and it is very prosperous. Zhang Tianzhao's network receiver instantly received more than ten network signals. The Hao Xing brand Trojan automatically searched for a signal that was accepted by the empire. Soon their brains were connected to a network and downloaded the standard imperial language star map.
"A certain empire, a certain United States, a certain federation, a certain democratic republic, and a certain autonomous dominion. There are so many types." Hai Fengqiu observed the star map, "Does it look familiar to you?"
Zhang Tianzhao silently took out Bai Zhi's sketchbook and showed everyone the star map sketch that resembled a decorative painting, mainly for Dongting, who had never been to City A's underground base. The two star maps were basically the same.
"Is this the main battlefield?" Yun Lai asked with wide eyes.
Bai Zhi found a news website, took the time to read some quickly, and then said: "The star gate connecting the two sides has been closed for many years. The empire is the part that has developed independently from them for more than 10,000 years. The actual activities of human beings The scope is much larger than the imperial star map we have seen. The royal family and nobles concealed this fact for some unknown purpose. No wonder the Kunwu clan mentioned the ancestral land, their ancestral land must be here."
While they were talking, the Zhou family's fleet actually turned around and passed through the star gate again, lined up behind a shabby fleet, and slowly flew towards a two-star galaxy.
"The empire's star gate is a simple one-to-one channel. Their star gate is one-to-many." Zhang Tianzhao wiped his face and said happily: "Hao Xing and Jian Ning have a goal again."
"If we rely on our own accumulation, we won't be able to afford the energy for the Star Gate experiment even if we save it for five hundred years." Yue Dongting said calmly: "The spaceships here don't look more advanced than the ones in the empire. The Zhou family will investigate the market demand here. , develop trade,”
The airport command tower is a thousand meters high. In the dusk, the two official Chinese characters "Jianye" on the tower shine brightly, and can be seen clearly from low-Earth orbit. Bai Zhi quickly sent a positioning crystal to the no-man's land, and everyone started to dismantle the living cabin, put on masks and teleported to the ground.
Haifengqiu sent out several insect-type detectors to detect the environment, and found that the humanistic environment in the Jianye urban area is similar to that before the end of the earth. The billboards in the streets and alleys are all Chinese characters, and the pedestrians on the streets include yellow, white, and black people. The language used is mainly Chinese. If you ignore the three-dimensional traffic with flying cars as the main body and the advertising images with the entire building wall as the screen, you only see the small grocery stores in the alleys and the packed food stalls, as well as the hawkers selling fruit pancakes from push carts and people with horse heads. The small advertisements on the wall of the newsstand are decorated with wall decorations, and it really gives the illusion of being on a pre-apocalyptic earth.
Yue Dongting was the best at making a little money in this environment. He took out a set of tools and materials for making pancakes. Yun Lai took out a small spaceship and everyone modified it according to the hawker carts commonly seen on the streets of Jianye. The five-person group wandered around the edge of the city for a few days, used the money from selling pancakes to get married separately, and then used fake IDs to successfully buy mobile phone cards and rent a four-bedroom suite.
The landlord is an immigrant and is more interested in mahjong than doing business. Hai Fengqiu and Lin Yun came to play mahjong with him for a few days and found out the true situation of Jianye Star. Jianye planet used to be a backward animal husbandry planet. Twenty years ago, immigrants headed by the Zhou family came to Jianye Planet to develop. Ten years ago, the immigrants took full control of the economic lifeline of this galaxy. Members of the Zhou family served as planetary governors and gave the planet a new name. The official language was also changed. became Chinese.
The current main business of Jianye Star is the deep processing and export of traditional Chinese medicine products. The maternal and child hospital run by the Zhou family is also very famous. However, the conflicts between the natives and immigrants in Jianye Star are not small. Several immigrant families are not monolithic. There is also a large gap between the rich and poor immigrants. The security in the gray areas on the edge of the city is not good.
It was easy for Haifengqiu to lurk and look for opportunities in such a complex environment. He quickly found a job in a restaurant near Zhou's hospital, where he could go in and out of the hospital openly to inquire for information.
Zhang Tianzhao found a job as a repairman in an online game arcade and devoted himself to teaching himself the new computer language of Jianye Star. Lin Yun found a job as a courier. Earth immigrants, mainly represented by the Zhou family, attach great importance to diplomas. They look for this kind of job not only because they need to gather information, but also because they cannot find other jobs because it is too difficult to fake diplomas.
Yue Dongting applied for various licenses and moved his pancake truck to the intersection of a neighborhood where doctors live. When business was slow, he would help lift old men and women when he saw them lifting heavy objects. He became familiar with them as soon as he came and went, and he became familiar with everyone who came. A few words. Gu Bai Zhi, the former director of the Eleventh Division and the current housekeeper, who has been wearing a mask and spreading pancakes with her head down, relied on the fragments of information leaked by the old man and the old woman and the intelligence collected by Hai Fengqiu and Lin Yunlai to analyze and determine that the Zhou family His main business is not the treatment of infertility, but organ transplantation. If you are not particular about it, you can just pay for the matching organ. If you are not particular about it, you can get a human body and culture it for a few years before transplanting it. In a streamlined process, you can have the business of human traffickers, surrogate mothers and orphanages. The Zhou family, who seem to miss life on earth, made their fortune through this.
Hai Fengqiu wiped his face and made a rare joke, "Dengheka is a high-end customization company, and Zhou is a chain family business."
Yun Lai's face turned pale, and Zhang Tianzhao almost vomited as he imagined the possibility of Zhang Tianlie taking Bai Zhi and Shi Chengjiang's family to leave the earth.
Yue Dongting said: "Let's take care of the Zhou family. We must do things worthy of our own conscience, right?"
"When they create human beings, they will definitely keep a lot of embryo backups. After the Zhou family is taken away, what will we do with these backups?" Bai Zhi frowned, "It is not advisable to find a surrogate mother to give birth to a baby, but embryos are also life."
"Save it first. Anyway, we have a place to save it. Go back and let Hao Xing start an artificial womb project." Zhang Tianzhao held Bai Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "The orphanage and the surrogate mother must make proper arrangements. Before taking away the Zhou family, We need to coordinate all aspects of things first.”
"If you're a good person, you're like a mother-in-law, but if you're a bad person, you're cool and cool." Yun Lai muttered.
"We can't do this with the five of us. We need to find helpers. The first choice for the target is the same kind of backup as Zhou Yicheng. They are not related by blood to the Zhou family. The Zhou family cannot be so confident about them, even if the meteorite comes out later. They don't need stabilizers for things like that, and the Zhou family will definitely use other means to control them, but they haven't used them yet."
"Determine the target first, and then do something to force the Zhou family to use means." Haifengqiu drank the spicy liquor in one gulp and stared at Bai Zhi.
"You want me to be a bait?" Bai Zhi was shocked. Zhou Yicheng, that little bastard, wanted to ask her out for a walk when they met for the first time. She knew very well the virtues of similar people, and wanted her to be a similar person who was about the same age as her son* Can't do it.
"It seems that none of our kind have become gay, otherwise I would have done it myself." Hai Fengqiu was actually worried. He thought about it and said, "You don't have to do anything, just ignore it. Just fish out the same kind of people." It’s up to us to step in.”
"I want to buy some new clothes for Bai Zhi." Zhang Tianzhao looked at his wife with disgust, "The mask's appearance is only 80%, and you can't seduce a man without dressing up."
Who wants to hook up with a man! Bai Zhi angrily rushed over and pinched Zhang Tianzhao's neck.
Bai Zhi changed into a new outfit and went to sell pancakes, which attracted the attention of the street milk tea shop owner. She was invited by the boss to be the milk tea girl at noon. In the afternoon, someone uploaded to a local forum many secretly photographed photos of pretty girls in maid outfits at milk tea shops. When the store was about to close, a handsome guy in a white lab coat who looked like the same type came to buy milk tea. Inside the milk tea money was a small piece of paper with a phone number written on it.
Bai Zhi threw the small note into the small box next to the cashier in front of the guy, and mixed it with the dozens of small notes she received.
The handsome guy came to buy milk tea again before closing the next night, accompanied by a young man who looked exactly like Chen Baiyuan.
This time the handsome doctor paid the money honestly, without putting anything in the banknote. Chen Baiyuan looked at the box filled with small notes next to the cash register and laughed endlessly.
Bai Zhi handed over the sealed two cups of milk tea bags and said in a formal manner that welcome to the next visit. The handsome doctor found a breakthrough and asked with a smile: "I didn't say this yesterday. Is it because I was angry?"
Bai Zhi turned around to clean the shaker cup, her lace skirt was dangling, and her beautiful legs made the two handsome guys' eyes go straight. The boss came out at the right time and said cheerfully: "Guest, we are off work."
On the evening of the third day, Chen Baiyuan came alone, ordered a cup of milk tea and sat at the seat near the cashier, looking at Bai Zhi and smiling. Bai Zhi was terribly embarrassed, but luckily she couldn't see her blush because of the mask.
"My name is Jiang Lingnan." Jiang Lingnan winked at Bai Zhi, "I think you are more interested in me. What time will you get off work? I will treat you to a midnight snack."
Bai Zhi looked at him coldly, "In half an hour."
"Shall I treat you to dinner first?" Jiang Lingnan smiled proudly and reservedly.
Now that the same species has been fished out, you can find a long list by following this one. No matter how embarrassed you are, you still have to keep in touch with them with tears in your eyes. After get off work, Bai Zhi put on tight black T-denim suspender shorts and came out, feeling that her moral integrity was shattered.
The pretty girl who took off her kitschy and cheap maid outfit was simple, lively but full of youth. She was so pretty that it blinded Jiang Lingnan's eyes.
"Hey!" Bai Zhi gently poked Jiang Lingnan's shoulder.
"You are so beautiful." Jiang Lingnan took advantage of the situation and put Bai Zhi's little hand on his arm, "What do you like to eat and where do you usually go to play?"
"I like to eat seafood risotto. Just play whatever you want, just take me back at ten o'clock."
After confirming that Jiang Lingnan was the target, everyone found the videos and photos accumulated over the years. It was not difficult to inform Jiang Lingnan of his life experience, but to make Jiang Lingnan believe them, it was best to recreate one or two similar people and show them to Jiang Lingnan. A group photo of Chen Baiyuan and his peers.
Chen Baiyuan is a funny guy who loves to show off. Jiang Lingnan is probably also a show-off. He invited the pretty girl out before his friends, and he definitely wanted to show her off to his circle of friends. Bai Zhi gave him the opportunity to take her to show off.
Sure enough, Jiang Lingnan first took Bai Zhi to a restaurant for dinner, and then actually took Bai Zhi to the Zhou family's gym to show off.
There were not many people in the bar attached to the sports hall. Two groups of people were sitting in the corner drinking and chatting while they digested their food. Jiang Lingnan proudly took Bai Zhi to sit at the bar, pointed to the bartender who had his back to the guests and said, "Jiang Lingbei. Abei, use the screwdriver to mix the cup."
Jiang Lingbei, who was tall with a slim waist and long legs, turned around, and the strong lines on his face could not block the charming charm of his peach blossom eyes.
"Hey, An Bei." Bai Zhi smiled at Yun Lai's backup, "I'm Anan's friend Lu Huanian."
Jiang Lingbei nodded as a greeting, first mixed a glass of wine for Jiang Lingnan, then gave Bai Zhi a glass of orange juice with ice cubes, and said with a straight face: "Please use the screwdriver slowly."
When Chen Baiyuan was serious about cheating on the little girl, Yunlai liked to be serious about trying to derail him. Bai Zhi was laughing so hard in her heart, but on the surface she was sipping the juice in a serious manner, writing a note: Jiang Lingnan's brother Jiang Lingbei looks a lot like Yun Lai. Jiang Lingbei has a good heart, but I don't think he has any special feelings. He is definitely not my son.
The foursome all replied: Got it. Haifengqiu added another sentence: the target was changed to Jiangling North and asked for his contact information.
Bai Zhi pretended not to understand what a screwdriver was, and Jiang Lingnan also acquiesced that this glass of orange juice mixed with water was the legendary girl's wine, chatting enthusiastically. Bai Zhi used a combination of three actions: smiling, shaking her head, smiling without moving, and lowering her head to drink orange juice to deal with him. Jiang Lingbei, who was watching with cold eyes, may have felt that these three actions were too monotonous, so he gave Bai Zhi a large plate of shelled peanuts to add to the drama. So Bai Zhi happily threw away the combination routine and started peeling peanuts, not to mention how cute her little moves were. Jiang Lingnan simply stopped talking and watched Bai Zhi drink silently.
Jiang Lingbei leaned against the bar counter, lazily wiping his cup with a piece of paper towel, and used his sharp eyes to repel at least six men who wanted to talk to Bai Zhi.
"My calorie intake today is going to exceed the limit." Bai Zhi pushed the peanut plate away, "Abei, can you give me paper and pen?"
Jiang Lingbei said nothing, but took out a pencil and a wine list with a blank back. Bai Zhi painted Jiangling Bei leaning against the bar, and Jiang Lingnan sitting on a high chair shaking a wine glass. In just a few strokes, the romantic and free-spirited Jiangling Bei and the suave Jiangling Bei were vividly depicted. However, the protagonist was the tragic fate She teased Peanut for a long time.
After finishing the painting, Bai Zhi pushed the wine list to Jiang Lingbei and asked with a smile: "Can my friend and I get a free order tonight?"
Jiang Lingbei put away the sketch and smiled without saying a word.
"Your friend, that is, me, is one of the two owners of this bar." Jiang Lingnan's white teeth sparkled under the light, and he smiled evilly, "Lu Huanian, give it a good time, Abei and I, you Which one do you want?"
Bai Zhi stopped laughing, and after finishing her laughter, she said, "I thought tonight was just a normal social interaction."
Jiang Lingbei supported the edge of the bar and stared at Bai Zhi, "I want more than ordinary friends. My brothers should be similar to me. We don't want to hurt our friendship. Either you choose one of us..."
Damn it, Bai Zhi couldn't suppress her anger and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, good night."
After saying that, she jumped off the chair lightly and left.
