I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 20: Awakening (I)

Views:

Things went more smoothly than they had imagined. The base was moving so fast.

Several people tremblingly carried up the computer connected to the Internet cable. Under the protection of Tan Yan, Liang Xian turned on the computer and familiarized himself with the computer system of this world.

The input method is somewhat different from their world, and the code is slightly different. Fortunately, the two worlds have been on different paths since the Republic of China, and the gap is only about a hundred years, so many things are still the same.

After Liang Xian became familiar with the computer, he entered the data using the letters and codes he was familiar with. There might be some discrepancies, but he believed that the people of Xia Country would find a way to decipher it as long as they needed to.

Being able to do this far has already been the most we can do.

"Commander, they have been typing something into the computer and we are urgently trying to decipher it," the technician at the base reported.

The computer is originally connected to the Internet, so it is very easy to receive information from the computer within the base.

"What is it about?" The commander looked at the four people in the surveillance video who were not afraid of being surrounded by heavy troops, and couldn't help but mutter, "Who are they? Why can they be exposed on the ground without wearing protective clothing?"

"The report is about... crops," the technician said as he stole the information.

"Go find an expert to take a look!" The commander immediately walked to the computer. Although he could not understand the professional terms used by Liang Xian, he still looked at it very carefully.

There was only one poor agronomist left at the base. He quickly browsed through the information: "I am not familiar with the way many contents are expressed, and I don't understand them very well, but according to what is written in the information, if this kind of wheat can be cultivated, even in the underground, it seems that the yield per mu can reach over 1,000... The raw materials for the new fertilizer are easy to find and easy to make. Commander, if what is written in this information is true, our food problem can be greatly alleviated!"

"Hurry up..." The commander suddenly stopped talking.

He wanted to quickly control the people and cut off the network to prevent the news from leaking out, but when he thought of the strength of the group of people outside, he stopped.

"What they want is to be able to connect to the central network..." the base commander muttered, "They don't want to hand over the information to individuals, but to the country... In this era, is there anyone who still cares about the government that is so far away?"

He could imagine that once the central government mastered new technologies, increased food production, and had sufficient reserve forces, it would be able to take action against these restless bases.

By then the whole country will be unified, and although people will live a hard life, they can work together to fight against the end of the world.

"Commander, should we intercept the data?" asked the technician.

They all had the same idea: if they could possess such technology and have sufficient food, they could attract more survivors and even other bases to join them.

Who doesn’t want to be at the pinnacle of power

"No," the commander shook his head, "They won't allow us to intercept the information. Otherwise, they can get the best treatment at the base by handing over the information to us, without the need to use force to deter them."

"But, if the central government cultivates new seeds..."

"That would be better. It would prevent one company from dominating the market, and the central government would also be able to win over the people. The information was sent from us, and the central government will definitely use us." The commander said, "Let them publish it."

Liang Xian and others were unaware of the changes in people's hearts within the base. They just felt that things were going too smoothly. The information was transmitted without any obstacles, and they felt relieved.

"Let's go," Liang Xian breathed a sigh of relief after typing the last key, "We have done everything we can."

Ah San narrowed his eyes: "The base should have also obtained this information."

"At that time, it will depend on which one has more advanced technology, the central government or the base. The one that cultivates the seeds first will have some advantages, but it won't last long. If the leaders of the bases are smart, they should take this opportunity to surrender to the central government, and the two will work together to retake all the bases in the country." Liang Xian analyzed, "It depends on how fast this leader can deliver the computers. He is not too stupid."

After hearing his words, Ah San felt relieved: "Should we leave in a more arrogant way?"

"Why are you so arrogant?"

Qin Li looked at Tan Yan with bright eyes: "Like flying away or something."

Liang Xian: “…”

He was just about to say that the two were daydreaming, but when he thought of Tan Yan's inhuman strength, he felt that nothing was impossible.

Most people have the dream of growing wings and flying into the sky, and Liang Xian is no exception. He joins Qin Li and Asan's team and looks at Tan Yan with sparkling eyes.

Tan Yan: “…”

Being looked at like this by students, it is a huge responsibility for me as an elder, but...

"Don't make a fuss. How can a person fly? Haven't you learned about gravity? The earth has gravity." Tan Yan patted Qin Li's shoulder. "We don't have wings. Let's just run away quickly."

Three people: “…”

Why is this person, who has superhuman strength, still obsessed with Newton? You just jumped dozens of meters high, are you worthy of the gravity of the earth and Newton's coffin

There was no graceful exit. After Liang Xian sent the information, the four of them ran away quickly. Ah San, who had the most experience, ran in front, Qin Li in the middle, and Tan Yan holding Liang Xian with one arm at the rear.

Liang Xian: “…”

Forget it, he has already disgraced himself in this life today. Does anyone still remember that when he first appeared on stage, he confronted Instructor Zhou in front of the envious and jealous eyes of his classmates

Asan and Qin Li still had plenty of energy, and the four of them quickly ran out of the base's sphere of influence. Having resolved a problem, they finally began to ask Tan Yan how to leave the other world.

Tan Yan's answer was as simple as always: "Find the exit, jump in, and you can go back."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Hold on to me, I'm not sure if you will disappear on the way back if you leave me."

The three of them had a preliminary understanding of Tan Yan, knowing that he was not a theorist and could only do things but not talk about them. It didn't matter, just follow them and experience it once, and they would summarize it.

"Okay," Liang Xian said, "Tell us in your own language how you sensed the existence of the entrance, and we will learn from you."

At this time, the sun had risen to its highest point and the surrounding temperature reached over 100 degrees. Asan tried to get out of the protective shield and ran a few steps but almost died. He had to hide back in the protective shield.

It is easy to talk about the boundary of being on the verge of death, but who can be sure of the real ability to awaken

Liang Xian was carried by Tan Yan because of his inconvenience in walking. He observed how long Ah San could bear it, and then said to Tan Yan: "First, remove the protective shields of everyone for 1 minute, and then open them again for 1 minute. Then remove them for 2 minutes, and then open them for 2 minutes again. And so on, increase the time by 1 minute each time, until someone can't bear it and faints. No matter whether the protective shields are opened or removed, don't stop, run with Tan Yan at your fastest speed, even if you are too tired to lift your legs, you must keep walking, even if you can't stand steadily, you must crawl forward."

"That's a good idea," Ah San agreed. "This way, we can provide timely protection when life is in danger, and we can also get as close to the state of being on the verge of death as possible."

"Put me down," Liang Xian said to Tan Yan, "My foot was just bitten by a poisonous snake. It's a little swollen and painful, but the bones are not injured. As long as I endure the pain, I can still run."

Tan Yan was very worried when he saw the three of them fighting so desperately, but when he saw the determination in Liang Xian's eyes, he did not speak to stop them.

"Don't worry. It's because of you that I dare to do it." Liang Xian smiled, "But I'll have to trouble you when the time comes. If any of us three fall down, you'll need to carry us. In the end, maybe... you'll have to carry three people back."

"I can carry it."

That's enough.

Although he was in a different world and the surrounding environment was extremely harsh, Liang Xian felt very relaxed, even more leisurely than in previous missions.

Because Tan Yan is by my side.

But they can't stop moving forward just because Tan Yan is so powerful, otherwise they will just become parasites relying on others. If this is the only way to awaken, then they will try it to the end.

Ping County, cemetery.

Minister Yu and others were waiting quietly in front of the tombstone without any words on it.

"It's already 4pm, which is longer than Tan Yan's longest record of 2pm." Xu Mingyu worriedly asked, "Is it because three people came in together and Tan Yan couldn't take care of them?"

"I believe in Tan Yan, and I also believe in the several soldiers who entered with him. They are all extremely outstanding talents and will not become a burden to others." Minister Yu said firmly.

And based on his understanding of Tan Yan, this stubborn man will definitely come back with the three of them.

"The energy field is reacting!" Qiao Zhixue, who had been staring at the instrument, suddenly said.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the tombstone, and they saw some tiny particles gradually appearing in front of the tombstone. These particles became more and more, and finally turned into four people.

Of course, this is the result of slowing down the video hundreds of thousands of times. In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Tan Yan and three others suddenly appeared in front of the tombstone.

Three people with burns all over their bodies, dying.
