Lin Luoran has killed countless mutant beasts since returning from the Penglai Fairy Mountain until she found the human population. She was only in the alchemy stage at that time, and she never saw the mutant beasts in her eyes. After a long time, she inevitably lost her vigilance .
Unexpectedly, under the sand bed of the Yellow River, a strange beast with a majestic earth essence lurks.
At this time, she was no longer in the alchemy stage of returning from the fairy mountain. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she hadn't even noticed this strange earth-type beast at first, and she couldn't figure out the strength of this beast.
Lin Luoran regretted not calling Hu Ji together, otherwise she wouldn't have to be so afraid of that strange beast.
Because several old professors were still by the river, and the spaceship was also suspended not far above, Lin Luoran didn't dare to make any changes for a while, but was ready to attack. If the strange beasts violently hurt people, she didn't have to show mercy.
But her vigilance was in vain, until she returned to the spacecraft with the ignorant and ignorant scholars dripping with sweat, the strange beast lurking under the water did not attack at all.
Of all the people on board, only Colin could see something was wrong with Lin Luoran.
He asked in a low voice, Lin Luoran shook his head at him without saying a word.
When the spaceship set off again, Lin Luoran was most nervous about crossing the section above the Yellow River basin. To her surprise, the earth-type beast seemed to have no hostility towards the group of people. When everyone was ignorant, the spaceship had crossed the river safely.
It was only when Lin Luoran left behind the area just now that he had just realized that his tightly clenched palms were sweating unknowingly.
Her nervousness was due to her inability to detect the opponent's strength, and there was not only Colin in the spaceship, but also a group of scholars who were valuable to reconstruction.
It's just that the strange beast didn't overreact after all.
Is it gentle by nature
Lin Luoran felt a little strange, but the spaceship had already flown far away, and when she looked back, what she could see on the virtual light screen was the forever gray sky on the banks of the Yellow River, which was no different from other places in the New Era.
When the spaceship shrank to a small spot in the distance, the earth-type beast that had been standing still in the depths of the river bed raised its huge head.
It doesn't look very friendly, but its huge eyes have emotions that don't conform to beasts.
Reluctance and nostalgia, and unspeakable gratification.
... ...
Because of the matter of the earth-type alien beast, Lin Luoran inevitably lost his mind along the way. Taking advantage of the rest time, she initially refined some materials, and she planned to save the important steps for Zhongdu later.
No matter how slow the journey was, there were still matters waiting to be resolved in Zhongdu City. The research team that Lin Luoran and Ke Lin followed still arrived in Zhongdu City two days later.
Compared with the waters of Dongting, which is 800 miles away, the central capital city was windy and sandy before the new era. At this moment, this settlement is twice the size of the imperial capital before the new era. Under the semicircular shelter, it is a huge city of yellow sand.
At first glance, compared with Dongting City, Zhongdu City may be severely short of water.
It seems that rather than saying that there is a problem with the seedling center, it is better to say that it is very difficult to promote the reconstruction near Zhongdu City.
No matter how much face Fairy Dust and the Earth Federation have, they can't make drinking water a problem for the people, and they have to fill in the bottomless pit of restoring vegetation, right
After strict examination, Lin Luoran and his party were allowed to enter Zhongdu City.
Sitting in the car sent by the government, Lin Luoran observed silently along the way, trying to connect the central capital with the imperial capital in his memory.
However, compared to Dongting City, the central capital was probably more severely damaged back then, and many landmark buildings were completely changed. Lin Luoran was surprised only when vehicles drove past the old palace silently.
It was only the first time for Lao Wang to be a little girl. She was amazed at the ancient buildings in China, and said with regret and joy: "This is the old imperial palace that has gone through the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. It’s a good old building.”
Lin Luoran nodded.
She can understand the mentality of the elderly. Before the new era, although many people criticized the taste of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, saying that the Imperial Palace’s red, yellow, and earthy tones were vulgar and earthy, which was very different from the cloud and mud in the Daming Palace of Li Tang in the past, but in the new era... the pyramid disappeared, and the Arc de Triomphe Collapsed, the Great Wall was destroyed, the most famous ancient buildings in the world, and countless exquisite gardens in the south of China. When all these histories were destroyed in the artillery fire, the only remaining Ming and Qing Forbidden City was endowed with more meaning.
Seeing it, you can think of more "they" that were destroyed, making Lin Luoran no longer happy or worried.
After the car went far around the palace wall, it arrived at the hotel arranged for them by the Zhongdu side.
It's not very luxurious, but because it's not far from the seed nursery center, those old researchers who don't pay attention to material things are very satisfied.
The hotel arranged a reception banquet for the scholars who came to support from Dongting City, and a deputy mayor of Zhongdu City accompanied them. In addition to the rarest and most expensive species of mutant beasts, real natural fruits and vegetables, even half-foot-long lobsters were also placed on the table.
Both Lin Luoran and Ke Lin were noncommittal about this meal, and the old scholars also focused more on the difficulties encountered by the seedling center. I am afraid that this meal will only be served by the reception staff of the Central Capital, especially the one who accompanied them. The deputy mayor had the most comfortable meal.
Seeing the deputy mayor with a puffy stomach blushing from drinking, Lin Luoran was a little irritable. Even in the new era, if you want to do anything practical, you can't do without such people.
Anyway, she is still an insignificant person at this time, and she quietly left the scene without anyone noticing.
Lin Luoran walked along the wind direction of the corridor, all the way to the garden in the hotel building.
Different from the simple and low-key style of the hotel, all the roses are planted in the garden. Pink, purple, blue... more pure red.
Lin Luoran was a little surprised when the fragrance of roses came, but in the midst of flowers, probably no one would be in a bad mood.
The uncomfortable atmosphere in the dinner with cups and cups seems to have been diluted a lot.
After a while, Colin also came to find him.
"Miss, do we still have to go with them?"
Lin Luoran seemed a little drunk under the influence of the aroma, she nodded after a while, then turned her head and said with a smile: "The environment of this hotel is not bad."
Colin was taken aback, and looked at the nameplate nailed to the garden wall, which looked familiar.
"It's the well-known Rose Hotel in the league."
As the son of the fourth-level member of the Xingweier family, Colin has a wide range of wanderings in the Alpha League. Although the Rose Hotel is not famous for its luxury, it is not eye-catching among the many hotel chains in the alliance. There are chain stores in important cities of member stars.
Compared with those old hotels in the alliance that have been in operation for thousands of years, the Rose Hotel, which has risen for decades, looks a bit young. Colin remembered the information he had paid attention to accidentally in the past, and knew that it was developing extremely fast. He didn't expect that even the capital city of the earth had branches.
I heard that the behind-the-scenes boss loves roses the most, but I don't know if it's true or not.
These irrelevant gossips were filtered through Colin's mind, probably there was no important information worthy of Lin Luoran's attention, and he immediately put the matter behind him.
... ...
"Member Pang."
At the Dongting starship landing site, the important officials of the city government waited for a whole morning before they saw that familiar face disembarking from the starship surrounded by many guards. The leader did not complain at all that he was sweating due to the long wait. Wearing a suit, with just the right amount of respect on his face, he was the first to greet her.
"Hello, Mr. Pang."
"Mr. Pang..."
The dignitaries greeted him one after another, and the officials who had worked with this middle-aged man preferred to call him Mr. Pang rather than "Mr. Pang".
Judging from Pang Xianzhong's finally a little friendly smile, he is obviously more satisfied with the title "Mr. Pang" than the latter title.
The leading official wiped off his cold sweat, feeling that he had really fallen short of standards today. However, he was newly transferred to Dongting City, so he can't be blamed. Although he had heard that Councilman Pang was approachable and unassuming, he didn't dare to make mistakes when he was not familiar with it. After all, this councilor already held real power in the Federal Supreme Senate. Even with a smile on his face, the unique aura belonging to the superior cannot be ignored.
The judging team from the Alpha Federation has come to Dongting a long time ago. These days, they are making a lot of noise. They are picking on the qualifications of the Earth Federation to be promoted to the "Secondary Member Star". The presence of a member of parliament who is said to be moderate in governance, how will it promote the development of the matter
Pang Xianzhong and a group of officials who inquired about the news made a few perfunctory remarks, and then got into the black car that came to pick up the plane.
Seeing the new mayor looking at him eagerly, Pang Xianzhong looked at the time on the old mechanical watch on his wrist, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mayor Peng, you are a federal official, so you can't be too soft on some aspects. "
Mayor Peng's face froze, trying to explain something, but several black cars had already left his sight.
Regardless of other officials' thoughts, Mayor Peng was pondering the meaning of Pang Xian's words, a little unbelievable. This time, the Federation is going to take a tougher attitude towards the Alpha League
But what is the Federation's trump card? Is it just the Dust Fairy
Of course, Mayor Peng's thoughts can't affect Pang Xianzhong, and he can't speak too clearly in front of a large group of people.
However, Pang Xianzhong was convinced that that person had been in business for many years, and he would not only be satisfied with a "second-level member star" that was slightly better than the colonial star. The Alpha League subdued this time, and Pang Xianzhong knew that the man would definitely do something, but he did not expect that he would actually come to Dongting in person.
It's not that because of Fairy Dust, he...
"Mr. Pang, the Rose Hotel is here."
The driver's words made Pang Xianzhong put aside some thoughts, and ordered the security personnel to stand by on the spot. Pang Xianzhong tidied his clothes to ensure cleanliness before entering the hotel alone.
The Rose Hotel is not luxurious, but who seems to prefer it
Pang Xianzhong remembered that they seemed to have met several times and chose this hotel chain. He pondered for a while, and under the guidance of a special person, he gently pushed open the door of the luxury suite on the top floor.
A burst of floral fragrance hits, and the first thing that catches the eye is the bright red roses blooming on the terrace.
Mu Tiannan, whose face was slightly pale, waved to him, holding red wine as dark as blood in his hand.
