On the other side of the hotel camp, in the room of the slave trader Huo Zhi.
He looked at the glass window and said to himself:
"The team that approached us just now actually has a robot. We can't underestimate their strength..."
After pondering for a few seconds, Huo Zhi said to the subordinate next to him:
"Aqiang, before it's all dark, let's find out what this team is about. Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years."
Ah Qiang is relatively short and looks quite strong. Hearing this, he said with a little embarrassment:
"Boss, I know you're being cautious, and I'm afraid that they may come to visit us for no reason, but at this point, the Redstone Collection is closed, where can I find someone? People here can't find it. "
Huo Zhi knew that this was not an excuse, so he thought for a while and said:
"Go to the vigilant church and ask, and find a familiar guard."
They often needed to send slaves out of the "subterranean ark," which was bound to pass the vigilant church.
"Yes, boss." Ah Qiang didn't say more, went out to find a car, and headed straight to the north of the ruined city.
Huo Zhi sat down and waited patiently for the confidant to return.
When the sun completely set and darkness enveloped the earth, the car that Ah Qiang drove finally appeared at the entrance of the hotel camp.
He got out of the car with a solemn expression, entered Huo Zhi's room, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"Boss, that team has a lot of backgrounds!"
"How?" Huo Zhi quickly stood up.
A Qiang swallowed his saliva and said:
"A guard at the church told me that the team had dealt with a very powerful Awakener before and saved the entire Redstone Set from the Second People's Coalition.
"If there's one thing to compare, it's that they can destroy redstone sets that don't have a vigilant sect, and at that time, they didn't get the droids!"
"This..." Huo Zhi even forgot to turn his eyes upon hearing this.
As far as he knows, although the Red Stone Collection is full of internal contradictions, even if it is not vigilant against the protection of the sect, its firepower is strong enough. It can definitely be ranked first in the Angry Lake area. how many.
So a four-person team can be compared with such a large settlement
After a long silence, Huo Zhi asked in confirmation:
"Does this include the power of the 'underground ark'?"
"Probably not." A Qiang answered truthfully, "People in the church don't know what the true strength of the 'Underground Ark' is."
Huo Zhi nodded slowly, "hiss":
"Whether the church guards are bragging or not, the squad on the opposite side is not easy.
"It should be the kind that can destroy a settlement with four or five people. Maybe all of them have reached the level of 'senior hunters', which is not much worse than the unbelievably powerful relic hunter teams we know."
Having said this, Huo Zhi exhaled:
"Fortunately, a team of this level definitely doesn't look down on us, there are only dozens of slaves, even if Mr. Dimarco's price is very high, they can't exchange the materials they are interested in.
"They should be aware of the movement and habitually come over and take a look to confirm the situation."
A Qiang was persuaded by the boss and asked worriedly:
"Then will you get everyone out to teach you tomorrow morning?"
"No need." Huo Zhi shook his head without any hesitation, "I will personally go into their rooms and talk one by one, and I must not disturb the other side."
When he said these few words, his voice unconsciously lowered a little.
Seeing that Ah Qiang seemed a little worried, Huo Zhi smiled and said:
"A team of this level can still deal with us for dozens of slaves
"What are their identities, and will they still lack slaves?"
A Qiang said "um":
"I'll arrange a patrol for the night."
…
In the middle of the night, Jiang Baimian woke up in a daze, turned over and grabbed the water bag on the bedside table.
At this moment, she saw a figure sitting quietly on the opposite bed.
Jiang Baimian woke up instantly.
She took a look and found that it was indeed a businessman.
"Aren't you going to sleep so late?" Jiang Baimian asked in amazement and amusing.
Shang Jianyao supported the bed with both hands and turned his body around abruptly.
In the faint moonlight pouring in from the window, he answered with bright eyes:
"I'm thinking of a feasible solution."
"Really serious..." Jiang Baimian said casually, not knowing how to evaluate it.
She turned to ask:
"Have you got an idea?"
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"not yet."
"Oh..." Jiang Baimian felt relieved.
Before her voice fell, Shang Jianyao added:
"There's so much inspiration."
"..." The smile on Jiang Baimian's face became a little forced.
Shang Jianyao continued on his own:
"I'm thinking about it now in conjunction with crossing the third island.
"Don't you mean that you are afraid of giving everything, but still nothing can be changed? Then do a difficult thing in reality, and try to change some cruel states that are invisible.
"Saving all human beings, of course, starts with saving small groups and small changes."
"At that time, I hope to have a certain harvest, which can be fed back to the spiritual world."
Jiang Baimian listened quietly, hugged the quilt, and adjusted his posture so that he could lie down more comfortably.
"This idea... It's really good." She said truthfully, "Maybe the key to defeating the third island is really to connect with reality, and to break through inner doubts through the affirmation of reality."
Speaking of which, she changed her words:
"However, you don't have to choose such a difficult thing from the beginning, right?"
Shang Jianyao laughed, his face hazy under the moonlight:
"It's not that I'm considering a feasible solution to defeat the third island.
"It's just incidental."
At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt inexplicably that his smile was like a child's, very clean and pure.
Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, closed it again, and complained after a long while:
"You can wait until dawn to think about it. In the middle of the night, hurry up and sleep fast. Only when you have enough energy can you come up with a good solution."
She originally wanted to pick up a pillow and throw it over, smash the businessman to see the light, and increase the strength of her words, but considering that there was only one pillow, she gave up the idea.
"Well." Shang Jianyao thought for a while, then nodded.
Snapped!
He fell straight and stretched his legs.
Jiang Baimian wrapped the quilt tightly and changed his back to the opposite bed.
In the quiet night, she suddenly whispered:
"Sometimes, I really envy your purity..."
Shang Jianyao replied in a serious tone:
"This is in exchange for a doctor's certificate."
"..." Jiang Baimian chose to close his eyes.
…
The next morning, the "Old Tune Team" simply ate breakfast and drove a jeep to the underground shopping mall in the park under the watch of the townspeople of Hongshiji who repaired the faulty circuit of the hotel camp.
This is their original plan to visit "Visa Trading Company" to discuss high-performance batteries.
The "Visa Trading Company" was still guarded by the lady who was wearing a green ghost mask but was as timid as a rabbit.
"Go, go, good morning." Obviously, the lady recognized the former Redstone Jiyiba.
Jiang Baimian asked with a smile:
"Which housekeeper is there today?"
"Butler Ulrich." The lady in charge of reception answered honestly.
Right Lord... Jiang Baimian secretly sighed that he was lucky, and pressed the delicate monk mask on his face:
"Please let me know, we want to visit Mr. Ulrich."
"Okay." The lady hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie, avoiding Shang Jianyao and the others, not knowing who she was talking to.
Genova, wearing sunglasses, looked at her figure, which was mostly blocked by the wall, and asked Jiang Baimian and others:
"Do you need me to repeat their conversation?"
"Can you hear?" Shang Jianyao looked curious.
Too bad it's all covered up by the monkey mask.
Genova nodded:
"This distance, this volume, is within my monitoring range."
Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully while laughtering that the average listening ability of the "Old Tune Group" had been significantly improved:
"Do you usually take the initiative to monitor the surrounding environment?"
"Not in a safe environment, performing tasks or in similar scenarios." Genova replied in succinct language, "The main purpose of not turning on is to save power and protect the battery. The endurance and life of high-performance batteries Cycle is still one of the key factors restricting the number of intelligent people and social development. Therefore, 'source brain' has been looking for the old world in 'nuclear power miniaturization technology', 'ultra-high performance battery technology', 'controllable nuclear fusion technology' Research the material in the 'field' and hopefully make this a reality."
As expected of an intelligent person, he can repeat the words I heard at the time almost word for word... It's amazing to have a large database and advanced search algorithms... Long Yuehong admires Genova's "memory".
At this time, the lady in charge of the reception of the "Visa Trading Company" walked back and said with a trembling body as if she was facing the nemesis of the natural enemy:
"Butler Ulrich has invited you to the conference room."
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others followed the directions and found a conference room with a long table, a dozen chairs and an LCD screen.
The lady in charge of reception turned on the LCD screen, adjusted the state, exited the room, and closed the door.
Genova then said:
"This is our 'mechanical paradise' product..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Shang Jianyao raised his index finger, put it to his mouth, and said "shh".
Genova immediately stopped speaking.
That is, after two or three seconds, a serious man in his forties wearing a black dress and a black bow tie appeared on the LCD screen.
He was one of DiMarco's butlers, Ulrich.
"Mr. Butler, aren't you in the company?" Jiang Baimian asked amusingly.
Ulrich replied calmly:
"There are awakened ones among you, and they have shown strong aggression."
When Shang Jianyao restrained Dimarco's guards, it was revealed that "the lack of movement of both hands".
As for aggressiveness, it undoubtedly refers to Shang Jianyao's terrifying behavior of throwing grenades.
Having said this, Ulrich clasped his hands and put them on his chest, then he took a step back:
"Distance is our friend."
