At noon that day, after Xu Le left.
Zhou Bi lay on the bed and lit a cigarette for himself, and the woman next to him was Jin Mingzhu.
But at this time, Jin Mingzhu was looking at Zhou Bi dimly, and then looked at him dimly:
"?"
"When you're with someone you love, time is always short." Zhou Bi began to be stubborn.
"Then what?"
"I'm actually very strong, I was just too nervous just now..." he continued to be stubborn.
"Didn't you take your medicine?"
"I took it, but maybe the effect of the medicine hasn't taken effect yet..." Zhou Bi was a little scared at this time.
He felt that something was wrong, and the physical limits of a super warrior who was even stronger than Ai Li were simply beyond the imagination of a rookie like him.
"At least three times. I don't want more."
Zhou Bi: …
…
In the afternoon, Zhou Bi stood at the door of the office, leaning against the wall, his eyes sunken and his expression listless.
When a night watchman saw Zhou Bi like this, his expression suddenly became serious.
"Master Zhoubi, you must have been too busy with the lighthouse affairs recently. You are so tired. Your physique is just a little stronger than that of ordinary people. Please take care of yourself.
The lighthouse cannot exist without you."
"The lighthouse thing... I'm really not as good as her." Zhou Bi muttered to himself, then asked:
“Have the militia’s salaries been paid on time?”
"Everything has been arranged. The militia is gathering now to sing praises to you and Master Jin Mingzhu."
Zhou Bi nodded. It was very easy to satisfy the people in the downtown area.
Although it is true that poor and remote areas produce unruly people, these people are indeed more easily satisfied than those in the upper city, and they have very little knowledge.
As long as you have enough food, clothing, shelter and some basic entertainment, you can live a happy life.
"It's all arranged, is there anything else?"
"It's about the old administrative officials, some of whom are left over from the previous parliamentary government. Should they be retained? Or should they be replaced?"
"No need to replace them. Those who can stay, whether they have not left or do not want to leave, are valuable to the Lighthouse. They have been in their original positions for a long time, so they just need to continue."
"yes."
Next, Zhou Bi arranged many government affairs, and based on the current situation of the lighthouse, he arranged a series of things in an orderly manner.
After finishing the government affairs, it was already evening.
Zhou Bi sat in the office, smoking. He didn't want to go back. He would have to face that woman, Jin Mingzhu, when he returned. That was too scary.
As a man, it is better to empty your mind at this time.
"It's really pleasant to have some private time, Councillor Zhou Bi." A businessman appeared behind Zhou Bi.
Zhou Bi frowned slightly, but was not flustered by the man's sudden voice. For a powerful extraordinary person, the martial arts he possessed were no different from those of ordinary people.
The more flustered you are, the more the other party will look down on you.
And when he appeared at this time, Zhou Bi had already guessed the other party's approximate identity.
"Are you extraordinary people always so spooky when you meet people?"
"Hearing what Councillor Zhou Bi said, I shouldn't be the first visitor. Have you seen anyone else?"
"Well, Xu Le came here in the morning."
"Xu Le?" The person's voice sounded somewhat surprised.
"Yes."
"How did he get here?"
"How would I know? I'm not a superhuman." Zhou Bi is also single.
Duoxi's figure gradually emerged from the shadows and she stretched out her hand towards Zhou Bi.
"This statement is reasonable. I am Dosi, a cult deacon of the Red Moon Temple."
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Zhou Bi felt a lot more at ease, but then he was shocked.
There was another woman behind Dorthy, a masked woman, she didn't speak, but... she was so tall and strong.
His height was probably over 1.9 meters, which was considered tall in the Dark Ages, but not the highest.
What really surprised Zhou Bi was her physique, which was so strong.
The circumference of her arms is bigger than her head. Is it possible for a woman to achieve such a physique
This feeling of oppression is really too strong.
However, since the other party has revealed his identity, Zhou Bi definitely cannot be timid at this time.
"Miss Dorsey, could you please explain your purpose? Things are not peaceful in the lighthouse right now."
“Of course I know that the lighthouse is not peaceful right now. Councillor Zhou Bi has worked hard for the lighthouse and managed things in such an orderly manner. I didn’t expect this.
You are really outstanding, but unfortunately your strength is too ordinary. Without the protection of Councillor Jin, someone like you can be easily killed."
Zhou Bitong Kong is miniaturized. Did he arrive there a long time ago
Then after he and Jin Mingzhu separated, he observed him for a long time
"What does Miss Dorsey want to say?"
"Without high-end military protection, the Lighthouse cannot survive in this dark age. Every dark tide is an absolute crisis for you."
"But we have safely passed through this black tide."
"Did you really rely on your strength to survive the black tide this time? I heard that the black tide did not appear at the lighthouse at all.
You are lucky this time, but the question is, can you be so lucky every time?"
Zhou Bi curled his lips. After all, this woman just wanted to give the Red Moon Temple a legitimate identity.
"Heh, you could have directly snatched the Lighthouse Fruit, but you still gave us a reasonable reason. The Red Moon Temple is really kind enough."
Hearing Zhou Bi's description, Duoxi's face turned gloomy.
However, the sturdy woman behind her patted her shoulder gently, and Duoxi immediately calmed down.
"It seems that Councillor Zhou Bi has a deep prejudice against our Red Moon Temple."
"Because I have been in charge of the lighthouse all this time, it is not easy for you to reap the benefits, right? If it weren't for the fact that the people were difficult to manage, you would have killed me long ago. Isn't this the style of your Red Moon Temple?"
Zhou Bi saw very clearly that Xu Le was a wolf and not a good person.
But the Red Moon Temple is a tiger, and a tiger is much more outrageous than a wolf. It will not give you any chance to resist.
Duoxi frowned slightly:
"Councilman Zhou Bi doesn't want to cooperate with us?"
At this time, the sturdy woman stopped Duoxi. She took a step forward and said to Zhou Bi in a soft voice that was difficult to match her appearance:
“Mr. Zhou Bi, I feel your pain and what happened to the lighthouse.
The reason we came here is simply because we hope that the people of Lighthouse will no longer suffer, so we came here with the sincerity of cooperation.
Please let me share your pain.”
Listen to the other person's soft voice and look at his strong body.
Zhou Bi didn't find it funny, he just felt it was scary and weird.
The woman was wearing a mask, so we couldn't see what she looked like, but just looking at her body and voice, the contrast was enough.
And he understood that this strong woman was the one who really had the final say.
“You haven’t experienced those sufferings, so how can you empathize with them?”
As soon as Zhou Bi finished speaking, the masked woman grabbed his head and pressed it against her huge chest.
“It’s natural to feel this pain in your heart.”
Zhou Bi had never felt such a hard chest, all muscle, like steel...
Is this really a woman
You don't even have a needle, how can I feel
"Alright, alright, I've already felt it, I understand what you mean, let's talk about something substantive."
"Tell us everything about the Soul Tree.
In return, we will provide cooperation and protection to the lighthouse.”
Cooperation? Protection
Okay, if you say it is, then it is.
Zhou Bi lit a cigarette for himself, calmed himself down a little, and then began to speak slowly:
"Xu Le... discovered the secret about the Soul Tree."
"Soul tree?"
"Yes, Xu Le said that this tree is no longer a golden tree, but a soul tree..."
According to the previous agreement with Xu Le, Zhou Bi told the two of them everything about Xu Le without any reservation.
But Xu Le told Zhou Bi this at that time.
"No matter whether what you said the first time was true or not, the Red Moon Temple would not believe it. So, the first time you said it was true, and the second time you said it could be false."
Zhou Bi didn’t know whether the other party would believe it or not, so he decided to do as Xu Le said.
Duoxi was also very surprised after hearing some special content and information.
For example, the Soul Tree seemed to have life and self-awareness. It actually helped the lighthouse to actively resist strange attacks. It seemed to be alive.
A large part of it was hard for Dorsi to believe, and she turned her head from time to time to look at her companions.
However, the tall and strong woman never expressed any extra emotions.
Because there was a lot of information, Zhou Bi took a long time to finish his speech.
After a lot of scattered replenishment, it was already dawn.
"This is roughly what happened. This is all I know." Zhou Bi was very tired. It was tiring to communicate with these people.
Since there is a possibility of being killed at any time, it is better to communicate with Xu Le. Xu Le is at least a human being and will not cross the bottom line.
Dorthy looked at the masked woman Dorne:
"Sister, what do you say now?"
The sturdy masked woman Dorn, although she is the younger sister, it is obvious that she is the one who calls the shots here.
"Go to the tree and see what this so-called soul tree is all about."
Duoxi didn't say a word, looked at Zhou Bi, and made a throat-cutting gesture.
Zhou Bi's whole body was cold. Duoxi's strong murderous intent had locked onto him, and he couldn't move at all.
Dawn was already heading out the door, but Dorsey stayed behind.
She licked her lips, her intention to stay already obvious.
"You..." Zhou Bi couldn't make a sound.
In despair, the window was smashed with a bang.
An agile figure was like a female leopard, the sword in his hand slashed down, and a stream of sword energy shot out.
It is the Golden Pearl.
Duoxi screamed in shock. The opponent was very powerful. His ability to release sword energy had already threatened her life.
"Well… "
The original hunter instantly became the prey, and Jin Mingzhu's strength made Duoxi a little at a loss.
bite!
The sword energy that was powerful enough to cut through steel was caught by a large hand and then crushed in the air.
Jin Mingzhu was a warrior who had broken through her limits and could be called a level 5 warrior. She didn't even see clearly how the other party moved.
"Speed? Or an ability like teleportation?"
Jin Mingzhu was a little flustered. The other person's tall body made her a little uncertain.
Logically speaking, the other party is from the Red Moon Temple and should be a warlock.
But what exactly is going on with this powerful physical strength and sense of oppression
"You're distracted."
"Forehead?"
Just a moment of distraction, the opponent had already come behind her, and the tip of the huge fist touched Jin Mingzhu's waist, followed by a sweeping kick, and Jin Mingzhu instantly lost her balance.
However, her reaction speed was extremely fast. She immediately supported herself on the ground with her backhand and punched behind herself with all her strength.
boom!
Jin Mingzhu's fist collided with the huge iron fist behind him.
It was like two fierce beasts colliding with each other.
Jin Mingzhu groaned and flew backwards, but Dorn stood there, motionless.
"The touch just now made me feel a little bit of pain. You are in pain too, right? But it's okay. Soon... I will put an end to your pain."
Dawn's delicate and soft voice said words that were totally inappropriate.
And her behavior was not as gentle as her voice, but rather there was some hidden madness.
The floor of the office shattered with a loud bang, caused by the impact of Dawn's accelerated step on the ground.
Her speed was several levels faster than Jin Mingzhu's. Before Jin Mingzhu could stand up from the shattered wall, she had already arrived in front of her.
"gold!"
Although he was shouting about gold, what extended from his arms were branches that looked like soul trees.
These branches turned into a dozen hammers, like fists, hitting Dawn.
Bang bang bang!
But when these attacks hit her, it was like hitting a block of copper, making a buzzing sound.
Dorn swept his fist across and hit Jin Mingzhu on the ribs.
Then he grabbed Jin Mingzhu's arm and lifted her up.
Her strength was too strong. Jin Mingzhu Gao Ni, whose arm was held, could not break free at all. Her kicks on Dawn had no effect at all.
The mask hid Dawn's expression, and her fist was raised high.
"Feel... the pain."
The huge fist was about to hit him, and Zhou Bi felt that the woman he had worked so hard to get would be smashed to death by this punch.
He suppressed the pressure brought by the killing intent and shouted loudly:
“Stop! If you kill us here, the people of Beacon, who have finally calmed down, will surely riot.
By then, neither your policy of collecting population resources nor your idea of taking the soul tree for yourself will be realized.
Even if it is to be realized, it will probably take a year or two.
Think carefully, killing us will do you no good at all."
I don’t know if Zhou Bi’s words had any effect, or if Dawn suddenly didn’t want to fight anymore.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Bi.
The eyes behind the mask were full of bloodthirstiness and madness, but soon calmed down.
"It seems that we can't empathize with each other. Tell me, what did Xu Le ask you to hide?"
Staring at the two people from the Red Moon Temple, Zhou Bi's mouth twitched.
"Damn it, Xu Le is really full of tricks."
