,
After the loud voice left, the landlord cursed and cleaned the suite on the left, then cursed and left again.
The neighbor on the right who was originally deathly silent started to make some noise, but after Old Man Jin cursed twice, they became quiet again.
Bai Zhi closed the bedroom doors and windows to make sure no sound or light would come out, and activated the loud listening device. On the small light screen, the green dot representing Audrey has been slowly moving toward the southeast, and the blue dot representing the loud voice has actually gone straight into the inner city.
"Are you going to the inner city to sell the cards?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Yeah." Yun Lai didn't look very happy. After a pause, he said, "I never saw that loud voice where I closed my cards. I don't know how they targeted me. I'll try again tomorrow with a different identity. ?”
"I think you were targeted for another reason." Bai Zhi thought for a while, took out the box containing the space cards, turned on the light and looked carefully. She picked out a stone card and a metal card, and asked Yunlai, "You Can you find what these two cards have in common?”
Yun Lai turned over the stone tablet first and asked, "What kind of flower is this carved on?"
"Like pea flowers."
Yunlai looked at the metal plate again. The decoration on the metal plate was a two-headed animal. In terms of materials and patterns, these two space equipment have nothing in common. Yun Lai tried it with the detector, and found that the stone sign had twenty square meters and the metal sign had eighteen square meters.
He weighed it again and smelled it. The two cards were not the same weight and even had different smells.
He finally looked at the light source again and again, and finally saw: "These cards have many holes, and these two pieces have two holes in the same proportion."
Based on this feature, Yunlai picked out seven more cards from the box.
Bai Zhi took out the picture record she took when sorting out these cards and confirmed, "These seven cards belong to two gangs. You see, the drinking bottles in these cards all look the same. They are not two independent gangs, they are Two sub-units of a larger gang.”
"So, these cards are not personal property, but the public property of the gang. Were the few pieces we sold recognized by their accomplices?" Yun Lai continued to reason, "Because it is inconvenient to transmit information in this place. So it took several days before they found us."
At this time, the blue dot on the light screen also stopped moving.
The loud voice lowered his voice and spoke flatteringly: "We searched the couple's apartment several times, but we didn't find anything valuable. I guess they are selling cards on behalf of others. The man is more slippery, and I have arranged for someone to do so. Go seduce that girl tomorrow."
"You must keep an eye on the man, don't let him escape!" The man's voice was low, his Jiuxu dialect was not standard, and he had a strong Ningcheng accent.
"Absolutely! Mr. Liu, as long as they are spies from Dayu City, I will definitely catch the person who is in contact with them!"
"Be careful, don't ruin our harvest festival. Go down."
Yun Lai held his breath and listened until he came home with a loud voice and got into the woman's bed. Bai Zhi turned off the bug.
"Master Lin Liu." Yun Lai sneered.
Yun Lai's reaction was really wrong. Bai Zhi wanted him to relax a little and hugged him gently, "You are never alone. You still have Ni Ping."
Yun Lai became much more relaxed when he mentioned his son. He hugged Bai Zhi tightly and asked with a smile, "What big deal do you think they have?"
"There are more than ten planetary days left for the Harvest Festival. This place is considered a city-state system. With such a tight defense of Big Fish City, are the two cities going to fight for territory and slaves?"
"It seems that this is the only possibility. I think we can take advantage of the chaos and recruit a group of people to occupy some territory first." Yun Lai wrote notes excitedly and discussed the action plan with his friends.
Bai Zhi glanced at the notes on the screen and realized that it was none of her business. She thought about the problems she would face now if she were the current head of the Lin family.
The important materials brought back by the Lin family from the earth must include seeds modified by meteorite energy and ordinary earth seeds. Yunlaijia's main business is supermarket chains and machinery and equipment manufacturing, so in addition to biodiesel technology, the Lin family also has diesel generators and engine production lines. If they were bolder, maybe nuclear weapons. With these things, apart from the fact that it is not cost-effective to build a spaceship by oneself, the Lin family can do a lot of things in Xinglin and even Jiuxu.
There is only one fundamental reason why the Nine Ruins turned into a barbaric wilderness: energy depletion.
The new energy mining area is too far away from Jiu Xu, and Jiu Xu's own resources are not as rich as those in the Sixty Districts. It is not cost-effective to sell energy blocks to Jiu Xu, so Jiu Xu is increasingly short of energy.
Interstellar transportation mainly relies on stargates and spacecraft transportation. The cost-effectiveness of sending biodiesel to spacecraft is too low, let alone maintaining the operation of stargates. Therefore, although biodiesel is renewable, it can only be used within the atmosphere of Jiuxu and cannot shake the dominance of the energy block. The forces with territory in the 60th District look down upon biodiesel, but in Jiuxu, where no energy mine has been discovered in 20,000 years, this backward, renewable, "new energy" still has its uses.
The raw materials used in biodiesel are mainly animal and vegetable oils and fats. For most aborigines in Jiuxu, mixed beans are the staple food. There is only so much land that can be cultivated, and the yield per mu is not high. Eating a meal of beans and glutinous rice in Black Mirror City is a luxury. Will people be willing to convert precious food into fuel? Where food production is not self-sufficient, it is more efficient and cheaper to use energy blocks. Ask them to choose between energy blocks and biodiesel, and they will definitely choose energy blocks.
For a planet like Xinglin, whose surface is suitable for agricultural production, the cost of biodiesel is acceptable even if it is a little higher than that of energy blocks. After all, energy blocks are not easy to buy even if you have money. Biodiesel only needs to grow the land well, master the technology, and spend a little time. can be manufactured.
This raises a new question. If the Lin family wants to vigorously promote biodiesel, they must develop agricultural production. Where do high-quality and high-yielding seeds come from?
Both the Feng family and the Ji family have strict control over seeds. There is a special office in Jilei Mountain to manage agricultural production, so new immigrants have no access to mutated seeds. Bai Zhi believes that whether it is a seed company in the Sixty Districts or a seed company in the Jiuxu District, there is one or a few big forces across multiple districts or even a dozen districts behind it.
The Lin family is only the richest man in Valley City. Compared with the behemoths who rule several large areas, there is a huge gap in strength. They took out the seeds of the earth, and it seemed that there was no other way out except selling them to seed companies, unless the Lin family was strong enough to compete with the seed companies or had a big backer.
The Lin family has sold unmutated earth-grown grains, fruits and vegetables, but there are no seeds for sale in the entire big market. This shows that the Lin family has a backer and they are not afraid of others robbing them, so they dare to sell new agricultural products openly.
At the same time, the Lin family has enemies, whether it is this seed company or another seed company, so they strictly control the seeds. This is probably the main reason why the Lin family keeps an eye on every suspicious stranger.
Assuming that the Lin family is strong enough, the Lin family in Xinglin cannot be the backbone, but a branch. This is essentially the same as the second situation. The Lin family of Xinglin is dependent on another larger force.
No matter what reason Yunlai had to have trouble with the Lin family, they would eventually have to compete head-on with the behemoth, so they had to be even more cautious in their actions now.
Bai Zhi told everyone her analysis of the Lin family. Note: The refresh paused for a while and then started refreshing.
After a while, Yun Lai told Bai Zhi: "It's a bit difficult for the two of us to occupy the territory. We want them to come and act together. Since something may happen in the Harvest Festival Valley City, no matter how honest we pretend to be, the Lin family can't They will kill suspected spies like us before anything happens. We might as well go to Dayu City and wait there for the latest spaceship to land and move around with a new identity. I feel that since our identity has been targeted by others, we cannot use it again. , why don’t we just do something big and then disappear?”
"What do you want to do?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Take advantage of the fire to rob. The Lin family is afraid of spies causing trouble, so I will set a fire in their inner city settlement. I will lead the pursuers in circles to attract attention. Go and search their warehouse darkroom and collect all valuable things. Move it away. If they use computers, analyzing their disks is better than counting how much gold they sell at their rice shop in the big market every day."
When Yun Lai spoke, he had already marked on the light screen the location where he had previously spoken to Mr. Liu with a loud voice, and said, "I'll go first. In an hour or so, you can teleport here with the notes."
"Yun Lai, this matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it..."
Yunlai threw her a random stargate he got from the robbery gang, opened the window and jumped out eagerly.
Bai Zhi quickly changed the note to: Yun Lai went to Lin's house in Xigucheng to set fire, and he asked me to teleport over later to rob him.
Zhang Tianzhao answered her: He is very skilled at doing this. You don't have to worry. First, set up several teleportation points for him outside the valley city, and then arrange a teleportation point to meet him outside the city.
Haifengqiu reminded: You both should control the time limit of the teleportation crystal within one hour, and the meeting place should be at least fifty kilometers away from Valley City.
Yun Lai's visit to Lin's house was not just about taking advantage of the situation, but he had something on his mind that he refused to say, and even Zhang Tianzhao didn't say anything when he knew it. Bai Zhi was angry and worried about him. She hurriedly wrote the word "good", quickly checked the room to make sure that there was no evidence that exposed their true identity, and tidied up the two bedrooms to make sure they were taken away in their sleep. Like, jump out of the window.
There was almost no light in the outer city late at night, except for a lantern hanging outside the door of a hotel a hundred meters away. That little light turned the surrounding buildings into dark shadows. Bai Zhi used her Great Qing Gong, which she had not used for a long time, to jump into the big market. In a surveillance corner near the Lin family's high-end grain store, she made a teleportation crystal that could only last for one hour at most. Then she flew out of the big market, and in A teleportation crystal was left on the roof of the neighbor's house with a loud voice.
Bai Zhi walked around outside the city and left four or five teleportation crystals. Finally, she dug a hole under a cliff more than seventy kilometers away from the city and left the teleportation crystals. Then she returned to the loudspeaker's neighbor's attic, opened the notes section, and waited.
The outer city was still dark, and the inner city was dimly lit.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
Bai Zhi didn't have time to observe where the explosion occurred in the inner city. Yun Lai's note had been modified to: Teleport to the teleportation point closest to me, and then randomly search the house at several other points.
Bai Zhi sensed the points that Yun Lai had set up in the inner city. She threw a bomb at the roof of Dasheng's house and immediately teleported to the point closest to Yun Lai.
This is the control room of a large spacecraft, and the monitoring has been destroyed by Yun Lai. The operating platform has been carefully maintained, the lights are bright and soft, and it looks like you can lift off by pressing the start button.
This was the first time Bai Zhi had robbed something with her own hands. Her fingertips rested on a touch button and she followed the energy lines to find the energy capsule and the spare energy capsule. Both energy cabins were full, containing a total of two hundred pieces of Frost Empire's high-end goods. Bai Zhi put them all away in her backpack without being polite.
When the last energy block was taken off, the light on the console dimmed. The next step... of course was to get the information. Bai Zhi didn't dare to pack things of unknown origin directly into her backpack. Fortunately, she had a lot of space equipment, and her ideal belt alone could carry a small cargo spaceship. Bai Zhi estimated the size of the brain of the spaceship, cut it whole and stuffed it into the ideal belt of a robbery weapon.
Yunlai ran farther and farther, and nearly a hundred people with supernatural powers chased him in circles in the inner city.
Bai Zhi thought for a while. The Lin family planned to do something big at the harvest festival. If it didn't work out, would they definitely not stay in Xinglin? This spaceship was ready to go at any time. The Lin family must have put important supplies on the spacecraft. Especially valuable and space-consuming items should be hidden in the escape pod.
She opened her eyes of perception and saw the overall structure of the spacecraft, as well as the inside and outside of the spacecraft.
Several nearby spaceship buildings should also belong to the Lin family. After the people in the spaceship came out, some spontaneously chased Yunlai, while others gathered in the open space to form a team. There are currently between six and seven hundred people in the spaceship she is in. They are all men, women, old and young. They are all supernatural beings. They are divided into several groups and divide the interior of the spacecraft into several areas for patrolling and searching.
Bai Zhi picked a cabin with three patrols outside and teleported in. This flat cabin is only three meters high, but is as big as a basketball court. It is neatly filled with metal shelves. There are plastic cards hanging on each shelf. It says in English or Chinese characters that the sealed box containing this shelf contains: Gold, diamonds or antique paintings.
Bai Zhi saw many familiar names, and she estimated that the Lin family had robbed museums in many countries when the Star Gate was opened. However, she did not touch these earthly human treasures. She looked around the entire cabin, and finally found more than a dozen metal storage boxes with lead sheets on an inconspicuous shelf. Each box had a seal, and the time was all In 2014, the largest storage box still had the words "Shanghai District 21" on it.
Bai Zhi remembered that one of the meteor shower's impact points was in Area 21, so the contents of these storage boxes must be meteorites.
She carefully sensed that there were meteorites in every box! And it’s packed to the brim!
Why doesn't the head of the Lin family carry such an important thing with him?
Bai Zhi had no time to think about this important issue and put all these treasures into her belt.
The last metal box left the shelf, and the pressure alarm installed on the shelf made a sharp "Beep! Beep~~" alarm sound.
Bai Zhi "saw" that the captains of the patrol team turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cabin.
She had removed the brain of the spacecraft and had no energy. The door could only be opened manually. The members of the patrol team could not open the door, so they discussed whether to open the door violently. Bai Zhi thought for a while, put the other two boxes without name tags in this corner into her bracelets, and teleported to another place where the patrol team gathered.
It was a large cargo hold, and six patrol teams worked in pairs to guard the three entrances and exits of the cargo hold.
After Bai Zhi teleported in, she sensed that the sealed low-temperature container was full of mutated seeds from the earth, and she directly received the container.
If she leaves like this, the Lin family will just frantically look for someone in the Star Forest. What if she opens a random star gate to create the illusion of leaving?
If the Lin family monitors the energy wave when the star door opens, they will think that the person who stole the Lin family's seeds has left. The Lin family would probably think that it was their imaginary enemy who did it. The imaginary enemy will most likely think that their competitors did it.
The water in Valley City could be a little more muddy.
Bai Zhi took out the random star gate and opened it, and wrote a note while waiting for one minute and thirty seconds:
I took away the energy block from the energy cabin of the Lin family's spacecraft, cut away the onboard brain, obtained the Lin family's meteorite reserve, and emptied a large cargo hold of seeds. Now I open a random stargate to pretend someone is leaving. I'll go check out the escape pod myself.
Yun Lai's remarks were changed to 1.
Zhang Tianzhao warned: Be careful, teleport immediately if anything goes wrong.
Haifengqiu said: The muddy the water is, the better it will be for our future. You have done a good job.
The moment the random star gate opened, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded inside the Lin family's spacecraft, followed immediately by the alarms of several nearby spacecraft, and then the sharp alarm sounded in half of the inner city.
When the star gate opened, Bai Zhi didn't dare to teleport, so she slowly crawled backwards through the vent in the cargo hold.
At the same time, a high-level superpower who broke in from the outside ignored the Lin family's obstruction, used the explosive power of fire superpower to blast open the cargo door, and rushed into the blue light door. Immediately afterwards, the second, third and fourth high-level superpowers also rushed in. They had a little physical conflict with the Lin family and rushed into the star gate one after another. Seven or eight Lin family members chased them and rushed in. Entered the star gate.
Bai Zhi had an impression of the power fluctuations of these four people. They were the four high-level power users she sensed during her last enlightenment.
In Jiuxu, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to come back after jumping into a random star gate. However, these people were very decisive when they entered the light gate. Bai Zhi did not believe that they were helping to chase the thief. Are they here to build the "Shunfeng Star Gate"?
The random stargate has been closed. Bai Zhi stopped thinking and immediately teleported to the escape cabin.
Small groups of guards walked hurriedly in the corridor separated by the wall. Apart from Bai Zhi, there was no one else on the other side of the wall, and even the monitoring facilities were not turned on.
Bai Zhi slowly checked the six escape cabins and found mezzanines in the fifth and sixth escape cabins. She found a total of seven large safes with lead plates in the mezzanine. She accepted them all. Originally, she wanted to visit a fourth place, but after sensing, she found that hundreds more people were pouring into the spacecraft. Now, except for the escape cabin area, there were people in every cabin and passage, and there were also people trying to open the passage to the escape cabin area.
When people discovered that her star gate had been opened just now, Bai Zhi decisively teleported back to the cave.
There is no other person in the cave within dozens of square kilometers.
Bai Zhi wrote a note about what happened after the star gate opened. The notes of Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu remained unchanged.
Dongting said: The people from the City Lord's Mansion are chasing Lin En. Several of them have rushed to help. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate.
Yunlai arrived ten minutes later. He came back running. He entered the cave and lay on the ground panting, grinning widely as he listened to the series of explosions coming from the direction of Valley City.
He rested for a few minutes and finally stopped breathing. He joked with Bai Zhi easily, "Did those hitchhikers pay for their tickets?"
Bai Zhi was originally ready to have a chat with Yun Lai but was held back by Yun Lai's joke, so she could only answer him, "No."
"As soon as the star gate opened, the alarm in the inner city rang. The people chasing me were dumbfounded, and half of them turned around." Yun Lai sat up, unscrewed the small wine bottle and took a big gulp of wine, and accidentally missed a sentence in Chinese: "Yes." This guy can really fucking run."
"You're the one who can really fucking run."
The black shadow outside the cave stood in human form. Speaking Chinese was not the point. The point was that his voice sounded like Yue Dongting.
