No one slept in Qinggang that night.
Qinggang originally prepared a grand celebration banquet for the returning Tyrant Team. Some people were even prepared to talk to individual soldiers about future cooperation at the celebration banquet. To put it simply, this is He wanted to see if there was any other way to pay him the commission he deserved, but he didn't expect that this much-anticipated celebration banquet would be suddenly and urgently canceled.
An invisible pressure, like a dark cloud, is weighing on Qinggang, which has just achieved unprecedented success.
Some people worked overtime overnight to analyze the data.
Some people immediately gathered the latest intelligence and trends in the world to try to figure out something.
There was also someone who gained so much trust on such a night and took control of the bank card of Lu Xinzhenruo’s life.
Alas...
...
...
The guest house previously prepared by the Qinggang Special Clearance Department for Lu Xin's classmates Here, Lu Xin's classmates were also packing their things quietly at this time, or in other words, they were packing their things to calm their inner tension and sort out their thoughts.
No. 2 sat on the white and soft quilt, squinting his eyes and studying how to turn on the TV in this guest house.
No. 3 locked himself in the guest house room and bought many things from the guest house staff, such as iron hooks, thick steel needles, bundles of tough steel wires, etc., and some Thermal weapons prohibited in the high-walled city, such as small apples, rocket launchers, submachine guns, etc., were it not for the fact that the guest house of the Special Clearance Department was different from ordinary guest houses, I don’t know where to find these things.
Who would call the front desk when staying and tell me to send me a basket of small apples and two submachine guns?
The strangest thing is that he asked for so many things, but when he left the next day, the room became empty. No. 3 just put his hands in his pockets and walked out easily. Yeah, not even a backpack, no one knows where these things are.
Before departure, Lu Xin also asked someone to come over and ask him if he wanted to go back to Soda City to see his family.
But No. 3 pondered for a long time, but refused.
"Maybe you won't want to come back after you go..."
He replied with a smile: "And I promised my wife that I will solve everything when I come out this time."
After No. 5 arrived at the guest house, she ordered the ghost train to go back to her secret laboratory and pulled back a carriage that was more than three meters high and eight or nine meters long. No one knew There was something in this box, but it was so dark that it was scary. No. 5 got into the car and packed it up for most of the night. When she came out of the box, her eyes were bright and she had a very expectant expression on her face.
No. 8 was sitting in the room, slowly polishing the shiny torture instruments in his box. He polished the ones that were not sharp enough and re-maintained the ones that were not shiny enough. He was meticulous. The eyes looking at these instruments of torture seemed toThere seems to be some kind of happiness.
No. 14 sat on the sofa, ate a whole roasted lamb without any appetite, and then held his belly in a daze.
Xiaojiu sneaked into the guest house kitchen and stole two table knives.
The younger sister hid in a sealed room, and she didn’t know what she was counting. The walls of the room shook from time to time. .
……
……
Lu Xin is walking with the doll.
Just walking aimlessly and quietly on the street.
Enjoying the waste of time and feeling a meaningless happiness.
Before, the people in Qinggang were very discerning and would never disturb the two of them at this time.
But this time, Qinggang seemed a little different from before. A car quietly appeared on the street. Professor Bai, Mr. Su, Chen Jing and others got out of the car. In the past, they were like this When a person of high status travels, he must at least prepare a convoy, but now it is just a lonely car driving out without even a bodyguard. This seems to explain the changes in Qinggang today...
"If you want to fight against the Church of Technology, then I think Qinggang should also contribute."
They came directly to Lu Xin, and Professor Bai spoke , and directly gave his answer.
"First of all, the Church of Science and Technology is the public enemy of the world. The Alliance has suffered from them, and we in Qinggang have also suffered."
"Secondly, you are now from Qinggang. Man, according to Qinggang’s special talent introduction regulations, your current contribution has even exceeded the scope of seventh-level special talents. In other words, your status is equivalent to that of several gentlemen. Therefore, Qinggang has the responsibility to protect you. , Whether it is public or private, there is no reason for Qinggang to take risks on your own at such a last moment."
"..."
"Have I upgraded again? ”
Lu Xin was slightly surprised, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.
But faced with the opinions of Professor Bai and others, he thought about it, shook his head, and said: "No need."
"We are not going this time to fight against technology. The church is just for private matters."
"..."
Chen Jing couldn't help but say: "Every time you deal with private matters, the commotion is bigger than official business."
p>Lu Xin: "..."
Chen Jing sighed and said: "We still recommend that you don't go, to fight against the Church of Technology and that... your old dean , it is not a matter of one person in the first place, we should be more cautious, wait until we have dealt with the matter in the dark world and settled our people, then contact the Northern Front, have a unified discussion, and formulate a plan to fight against the Church of Technology. "
"So..."
"..."
Lu Xin shook his head: "In that case, maybe it will be too late."
< p>He smiled and said: "IKnowing our dean, he would not give anyone such a chance. ""Besides, he invited us in a private capacity. If we did this, wouldn't it be disrespectful? "
"..."
"This..."
Seeing Lu Xin's attitude, several people's faces were slightly unnatural.< /p>
On the other hand, Mr. Su, who usually hides behind everything, couldn't help but take a step forward and said: "Although, I don't know much about the field of mental mutation, but I have been tricked by you too many times. Now that you have some experience, don’t you always say this when training people with abilities? Battle is never the key to victory or defeat, preparation for battle is..."
"Your old dean has been preparing for many years..."
"..."
"Mr. Su, who is so ignorant and incompetent, actually knows the rules of confrontation between ability users? "
Lu Xin felt like laughing inexplicably, then nodded slightly and said seriously: "He has indeed been preparing for many years. "
Then, he slowly said: "We are too. "
This time, the atmosphere of the chat seemed a little heavy. The only lively thing was the baby's eyes that blinked gently.
"Okay, the level of advice is over. "
At this moment, Professor Bai, whose hair was combed brightly, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Xin with a smile: "Although I have known for a long time that I can't persuade you, I still have to persuade you anyway. What if you changed your temper and learned to listen to others' advice? If you want to go there, Qinggang will not stop you. This may indeed be a private matter, but Qinggang is also ready. We are here this time just for..."
He started from Chen Jing He took the folder in his hand and said, "I'll show you Qinggang's plan. "
"This is the third and final phase of the Qinggang Heavenly Kingdom Plan. You should also know about it. "
"After all, after all, you are also one of the people in charge of the plan..."
"..."
"The third phase? ”
Lu Xin was slightly surprised and took the folder.
In the first stage, he was directly involved and participated in the discussion as a core candidate of the plan.< /p>
In the second phase, as the captain of the Tyrant Squad, he cooperated as a whole.
But before that, Lu Xin didn’t know the Qinggang Company’s third phase plan. Everything has been done...
"The inspiration and direction of the plan came from Lin Mo, a genius researcher at the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute, and was handed over to us by Dean Xue Jia. The overall steps of the plan are our youth. It was customized by relevant researchers and ability users in Hong Kong, and the more specific implementation ideas were jointly formulated by experts from all sides in our Qinggang Spiritual Power Research Base, and we also received help from many people. "
"But the completion of this plan is beyond our control..."
"..."
If Lu Xin wanted to understand something, he would do it in a way that goes against common sense in a very short period of time.
So he just glanced at the plan briefly, and his face couldn't help but look a little solemn.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he raised his head and looked at Professor Bai: "Is it possible for such a plan to... succeed?"
Professor Bai nodded lightly and said: " The key point is whether we believe we can succeed, right?"
"Yes..."
After being silent for a while, Lu Xin suddenly laughed and said, "No matter what. Whether it succeeds or not, just do our best."
...
...
At five o'clock in the morning, before the sun rises, Lu Xin. Boarded the ghost train with my classmates.
Only the students from the orphanage boarded the train, and the other members of the Tyrant Team had completed their missions.
The vice-captain had extremely complicated feelings about this. He was trembling. Wei Wei carried the small bag with a desperate look on his face and came to Lu Xin to ask for leave. He said that he had diarrhea and it was very serious. Can he not go with him? Xin Ze looked at him with some surprise and said that he didn't need to follow him in the first place... Gecko's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, it's okay for me to go. I can help you carry a bag or something..."
"If there's a big fight, I'll stay away..."
"..."
"No need."
Lu Xin smiled He shook his head and patted the gecko on the shoulder: "If something happens this time, there is a chance that I won't be able to protect you."
The gecko cried with a "ouch" and was moved to tears.
"Captain, I knew you were just teasing me when you took me out on adventures before..."
"..."
Lu Xin was cold-blooded I was a little surprised, thinking that I wasn't sure every time before, but it wasn't this serious.
It stands to reason that the principal of Red Moon Primary School, Teacher Xiaolu, is actually a member of the orphanage. She should be included in such a gathering, and it may not even be included in the old dean’s letter. He wanted to take Teacher Xiaolu with him, but Lu Xin decided not to take her with him, and didn't even tell her the news. Perhaps the gathering of all survivors will be more meaningful...
But compared to safety and stability, what is the meaning?
Before boarding the bus, Lu Xin looked back at Qinggang and saw the people standing at the steel suspension bridge to see them off. He even saw everyone hiding in the corner in the spiritual world of Qinggang. The deep night inside, and a certain white-haired missionary.
He smiled and nodded, then got into the car.
Inside the car door, No. 2, who was wearing round glasses, got in and found a seat to sit down.
Then No. 3 took off his watch and put on a brand new suit.
Then there was No. 5, who was holding a laptop, absent-minded, and looking anxious to settle accounts.
Behind him, there was a No. 8 carrying a silver suitcase, wearing a heavy coat, and even a white scarf...
Lu Xin really wanted to ask him, isn't it hot? ?
No. 14 hugged his belly and got on the train with a confused expression.
Xiaojiu followed at the end and got on the train. He found a place closer to Lu Xin and sat on a chair.
My sister’s backpack seemed a little too small. She first put the backpack behind the train, and then climbed into the train through the window.
"No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 8, me, No. 14, Nineteen...Seventeen..."
"Eight..."
p>Lu Xin was waiting for them. Every time someone came up, he called out a number. When he finally called his sister's "No. 17," No. 5, who was turning on the computer and operating seriously, suddenly looked up and looked at him. He glanced at her, and then looked at her sister in the carriage. Her eyes seemed a little strange, but she didn't say anything in the end. She quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to calculate her big business.
Everyone else in the carriage was accustomed to it and didn’t feel anything strange.
"Everyone is here..."
Lu Xin said with a smile: "Then let's go, let's go see the old dean..."
...
...
Shopping and eating...
The ghost train moved slowly, and then began to increase its speed at an alarming speed.
Behind them, on the steel suspension bridge and high walls of Qinggang, countless eyes looked at them from a distance.
There are worries, uneasiness, determination, and simple blessings.
In the east, the rising sun began to rise into the sky, spreading its light onto this clean world.
Some people felt slightly dizzy and couldn't help but think: "It's so good..."
"Because the night is so long, many people have actually forgotten when dawn comes." What's it like..."
"..."
As the train moved forward, Lu Xin and others looked through the windows and reflected this in their minds. A green world.
The third coming, from their perspective, did not pose much of a threat, but to the world, it was still a real disaster. For more than thirty years, In the past, most of the civilization and order that the survivors had worked hard to build from the ruins caused by the Red Moon incident were destroyed by this time, and no one knows how many living lives have disappeared since then.
But the strange thing is that looking out from the train, there is no chaos and despair like when the red moon incident occurred.
Lu Xin and the others saw tall machines in operation, clearing ruins and building houses.
I saw someone diverting water for irrigation to save farmland.
I saw medical staff walking in various temporary gathering points, treating their injuries and saving lives.
I also saw groups of official or spontaneous armed forces from gathering points chasing afterCapture the Knights, or build defensive facilities.
……
……
This is a destroyed world, but life can be found in it.
Lu Xin, who has read the third phase plan of the Heavenly Kingdom Project, understands that this is one of Qinggang’s strategies.
Today's dolls actually have enough power to directly kill the knights on these ruins, or order them to take the initiative to defend themselves, or even change their evil ways, which can also make these people recover in a short time. You won't feel hungry inside, it's easy to manage, and it can also allow each of them to work like a machine to achieve the highest efficiency in a short period of time.
But Qinggang did not do this, preferring to choose a slightly less efficient but more exciting method.
For the human race, this seems to be a sense of ritual?
With this mood, the ghost train passed through the southern border of the Alliance and the chaotic land in the middle, and finally passed through the mountains and swamps. On the southern line of the chaotic land, it officially crossed the After that, he left the area where Qinggang is located and entered the front line of the Science and Technology Church.
At this moment, Lu Xin turned around and looked back from the train, and saw the shadow of the doll, standing in the clouds.
Holding an umbrella in his hand, he waved it gently towards himself.
"Wait until I come back..."
Standing in the train, Lu Xin mouthed the words to the doll, and then turned his head.
The moment he turned his head, his face darkened, he exhaled deeply, and looked forward with a cold look.
At the same time, everyone in the carriage raised their heads and looked forward.
Even the ghost train seemed to feel the atmosphere in the carriage, and the sound of forward movement suddenly became heavier.
The oppressive and heavy power enveloped everyone's heart.
We are about to enter the territory of the Church of Science and Technology, and we are about to see the truth behind the veil of the Church of Science and Technology.
The relatives who have been separated for a long time will finally be reunited at this moment.
And everyone is ready...
...
...
At this same moment, the Church of Technology In an ordinary residence in Satellite City No. 11, the core of the city, the city of life, the old dean Wang Jingyun, who had changed into the Chinese tunic suit that he usually wore that was always too tight and too serious, was moving the furniture in the room. , moved them to the side, leaving the largest space in the room, and then set up a long table large enough to sit everyone.
Everyone is preparing for this party, including the old dean.
He prepared a lot of dishes and even two bottles of wine.
The table was covered with a tablecloth, and there was a vase filled with bright flowers, and an old photo next to it.
Having just placed the last chair in the appropriate position, he wiped his foreheadThe sweat on my head made me smile happily.
"Go and pick it up..."
He tied the apron on his body, smiled and said to No. 7 in the corner, "I want to do it quickly. Food."
"My students will be here soon..."
