Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 178: Next step

Bai Chen didn't say anything about Long Yuehong's little obsession. He found a chair on the edge of the square to sit down and watched the entire training session quietly.

After returning to the "A Fu Gun Store" and meeting with Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, she did not wait until the evening to go to the "Today" nightclub to see if the underground trading market was open, but took advantage of the fact that it was still dark. Wearing Long Yuehong, he went directly to the door to ask to see him.

"Uncle Sun" Sun Fei's home is not in the "Today" nightclub building, but North Street, but at this time, he has already arrived at Wild Wolf Lane and is in the office.

Because of Eugene's incident, Fei had a deep impression on Bai Chen. After passing the news, he asked his bodyguards to lead the two of them to the top floor in the added elevator.

"Boss, they're here." After opening the door of the office, the bodyguard said respectfully.

Fei Fei's office was completely different from what Long Yuehong had expected. There was no desk, no bookshelves, and no chairs. Instead, there were a bunch of useless black screens and an elegant shrine of the same color.

Relying on the large pattern formed by the opening of several rooms, after clever layout, the place looks empty and quiet.

Fei Fei, with white temples and a clean face, was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with a tall shrine behind him and a tea set made of ebony in front.

He held a string of moist bodhi seeds in one hand, picked up a small pot in the other, and poured amber tea into the cup.

The delicate fragrance fills the air, making people feel as if their body and mind have become peaceful.

"Uncle Sun." Bai Chen shouted.

"Sit down." Fei put down the teapot and said with a smile.

He was wearing a very old-world classic black suit, surrounded by pots of red-hot charcoal with no odor.

This makes the whole office seem quite warm.

Bai Chen was not polite, pulled Long Yuehong, and knelt down on the cushion opposite Fei.

She didn't use the cross-legged position because it would be inconvenient to get up in the event of an accident.

Fei turned the string of bodhi seeds with his fingers and looked at them with a smile:

"I didn't expect that that day would be the last day of Eugene's life."

What does this mean... Long Yuehong's spirit suddenly became a little tense, but she tried hard not to show it.

He felt that what Uncle Sun said just now was implying that they were the real culprits behind the attack on Eugene.

"It's a bit cheaper for him." Bai Chen replied calmly.

When she said this, she deliberately pulled the gray scarf around her neck.

"Anyway, it's a good thing. My brother and I are very grateful to the person who started it." Fei said in a casual chattering tone, "If it weren't for the fact that we were all living within the sphere of influence of the 'First City', we would have a family. If he has business and is no longer free, Eugene will definitely not live this year, hehe, besides, I, Buddha and Bodhi, will always give him a chance to awaken and repent, but unfortunately, he didn't grasp it."

Does this mean that Eugene didn't die this time, and couldn't leave Weed City alive? Wait, I can't think about this, he has a close relationship with the "Crystal Consciousness Cult", maybe he is an awakener and has "he mind"... Long Yuehong quickly shifted the focus of his thoughts to other places.

In a hurry, all the chores that came to his mind came to his mind:

Someone said with an ugly face:

"Hey, it's only 1.75 meters after genetic modification..."

Phew... Long Yuehong sighed and began to recall what she had eaten in the past few days.

At this time, he saw Uncle Sun look over, and after making eye contact with him, he smiled slightly.

"Do you believe in Zhi Sui Bodhi?" Bai Chen grabbed the key words in Fei's words and asked a question.

Fei replied in a soothing tone:

"The longer you live, the more you see, the more you believe in the existence of Zhi Sui.

"And at my age, the physical body has begun to decline, and it must be more focused on the practice of consciousness and the tempering of the spirit."

If Shang Jianyao was there, he would definitely say that you can find a monk sect, upload your consciousness, and change to a stronger body... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

Fei's eyes swept across his and Bai Chen's faces, and his expression became a little more serious:

"The path of the monastic order is wrong.

"Flesh and skin, consciousness will last forever. It doesn't mean to replace the perishable body with other things, but to temper the consciousness so that even if it is separated from the body, it can exist forever, immortal and immortal. This is the right path of Buddhism. I see consciousness. See the Tathagata like crystal.

"This is also the form of existence of the old people."

Maybe it's just the form of persistence that your religious group thinks... To be honest, compared to Fei's idea, Long Yuehong is more accepting of "science and technology to prove the Tao", and thinks that what Zen Master Jingfa said is more reasonable and has a clear path to achieve. .

If it weren't for the fact that these mechanical monks went mad, and the performance in various details made people want to laugh, Long Yuehong would really believe it.

Of course, he wasn't a businessman, so he wouldn't really refute Fei. He remained polite and listened quietly.

"Is that so..." Bai Chen was noncommittal about Fei's idea.

As a qualified teammate, she hesitated and asked:

"Does your denomination have communion? What is it?"

Fei was stunned:

"Our sacrament is vegetarian. It doesn't require abundance, just a boiled radish in plain water is fine."

"You don't eat meat?" Long Yuehong asked in surprise.

Fei Fei shook his head:

"It's just that the Eucharist is not meaty, and it's not an animal that you kill yourself, and you can eat the meat."

It seems that you have no chance with Shang Jianyao... Long Yuehong both sighed and felt happy for them.

After chatting like this for a while, Bai Chen turned to the topic:

"Uncle Sun, what kind of controlled weapons do you have here? Like military exoskeletons and bionic intelligent armor."

"How can this be so easy to get?" Fei shook his head and smiled, "Even if I can get one or two occasionally, I'll sell it quickly."

He considered it for a moment and added:

"If you really want, you can go south and take a look at the Redstone Collection."

Bai Chen is no stranger to redstone sets.

It is in the Nu Lake area and does not belong to any major power.

It may be precisely because of this, coupled with its proximity to the "United Industry" and on the main road to places such as "Future Intelligence" and "Mechanical Paradise", it has gradually developed into a smuggled commodity trading center.

It can be said that it is slightly equal to the Weed City, which is more chaotic and disorderly, and the Hunter Guild is not powerful enough.

Seeing Long Yuehong seemed a little puzzled, Fei said more:

"It is relatively close to the 'United Industry', and it is a major node for the outflow of the corresponding smuggled goods.

"A lot of goods on my side are obtained from there."

Within the radiation range of "United Industries"? No wonder... Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

"United Industry" is a big force belonging to the Red River Basin, but it is not near the main trunk of the Red River, but is located in the Golden River Basin, a tributary.

It is south of the "prime city". At first, it was a large number of small forces established by human beings relying on different factories and affiliated farms after the destruction of the old world.

Under the oppression and invasion of the "prime city", they, which had a certain industrial chain relationship, evolved into a loosely organized company consortium, which is quite different from the structure of "Panga". .

Their highest decision-making structure is the "President's Office", under which there are a large number of branches and subsidiaries, including those who specialize in security, those who produce arms, those who focus on light industry, and those who provide enough steel for their brother companies. The largest industrial body of lime soil.

Their heavy weapons are well-known throughout the dust and are a major force in exporting military exoskeletons.

Seeing that Long Yuehong had understood, Sun Fei continued:

"You'd better have some hard currency in order to get military exoskeletons from redstone sets.

"You also know that things like oil, coal, salt, smart chips and high-performance batteries that limit the growth of 'joint industries' are the best places to start.

"Hehe, don't always think about controlling weapons, there are many good things in Hongshiji, now, this tea is produced in the south of 'United Industry', and the forces of 'Future Intelligence' in Jiushan have a lot of demand for it. "

He seems to be showing Bai Chen and the others a clear way to make money.

"Thank you." Bai Chen didn't ask any more.

And Long Yuehong calculated the existing property of the entire group and found that it was only enough to eat, unless the bulletproof off-road vehicle that Xu Liyan gave was sold.

The next day, Shang Jianyao, who visited the city lord's mansion to eat and drink every day, saw Xu Liyan again.

Xu Liyan backed away, leaving only Zen Master Jing Nian.

He looked at Jiang Baimian next to Shang Jianyao, nodded slightly and said:

"I have considered it, for the long-term development of Wild Grass City, it is imperative to establish a cooperative relationship with you.

"However, let's not sign any contracts, it's your sincerity."

He didn't want to turn his head and have the contract leaked out, attracting the interference of "First City".

In response, "Pangu Creatures" might even threaten him with a contract.

"No problem." Jiang Baimian, who has "full power to dispose of it", agreed immediately.

"So, when will it start?" Xu Liyan asked impatiently.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Even if I report to the company now and send someone to do a biological prosthesis transplant for you, you shouldn't dare to be the city lord. Do you trust us so much?"

Xu Liyan was silent for a while.

He really didn't believe in "Pangaeon" that much.

"Let's start with the most basic cooperation and build up trust little by little." Jiang Baimian recalled the content of the telegram, "Next, we will provide a batch of genetically modified stock solution, and you will prepare the equivalent metal mineral exchange, what kind of mineral? It's all right. Although the city lord has already passed the best age for genetic improvement, it is better than nothing. After all, there will be some improvement, and it is safe enough. Well, you can also prepare for the descendants of the family."

Xu Liyan thought for a while:

"Can."

After reporting the "anti-intellectual education" and Xu Liyan through the newly purchased radio transceiver, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and the others did not receive a call back until the next evening.

The main content of the call back is:

It is known that personnel will be arranged to take over the follow-up affairs. The next step of your team is:

Follow the line "Mechanical Paradise" and delve into the causes of the destruction of the old world.
