In the office of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Stars.
Yun Xiaoxi lay on the desk, staring at the comments in the live broadcast room. The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed, and she suddenly revealed a strong anger.
She just held the scarlet sword in her right hand, flicked her thumb lightly, and the sharp sword came out of the sheath.
When Shen Qiu heard the voice, he turned around and saw Yun Xiaoxi looking very angry. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? Are you so angry?"
"Humph, these people actually dared to call you a psychopath! This is really too much, this is intolerable."
Yun Xiaoxi said angrily.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he smiled and persuaded Yun Xiaoxi.
"It doesn't matter. Let them curse. The more they curse, the more I will harvest. This is just stacking buffs!"
"I can't scold you!"
Yun Xiaoxi puffed up her face and said angrily.
"It's okay, they are just small matters. Let them dance. The happier they are, the better! Now I don't care if they scold me or anything like that. What really worries me is how to harvest them next."
Shen Qiu felt a bit of a headache at the end. Things were different now. He was now the lord of the City of Stars. He could not just reap the money rudely. He had to do it in a decent manner and make them hand over the money willingly.
When Tang Kexin and others heard Shen Qiu's words, they all looked at Shen Qiu curiously.
"Senior, how do you plan to harvest?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. If it were the old me, there wouldn't be so many things to do."
Shen Qiu said with deep emotion.
"Oh, Senior, what would you do in the past?"
"I asked them to pay the money directly, and if they didn't, I would put a weapon on their necks. But now I can't do that. People grow up. The more they learn, the deeper they understand the world, and the more they worry about doing things, which in turn restricts their actions."
Shen Qiu said helplessly.
"Senior, if you don't know how to get them to hand over the money, I can help you draft a speech."
Tang Kexin said with a smile.
"You can?"
Shen Qiu's eyes lit up and he looked at Tang Kexin with a look of surprise.
"Have you forgotten what I used to do? Didn't I specialize in defrauding people of donations?"
Tang Kexin blinked at Shen Qiu and replied.
When Shen Qiu heard what Tang Kexin said, he immediately reacted and spoke quickly.
"Hurry, hurry, help me draft a speech."
"no problem."
Tang Kexin walked to the opposite side of Shen Qiu, picked up the paper and pen on the desk, leaned over and began to write, with beautiful words jumping out on the paper.
Shen Qiu looked down at the speech Tang Kexin was drafting for the harvest. The more he read, the happier he became. However, when he inadvertently raised his head.
A touch of white cleavage was instantly and clearly reflected in Shen Qiu's eyes, making people linger on.
Shen Qiu suddenly felt his blood boiling and he moved his eyes away in embarrassment.
Yun Xiaoxi, who was standing by, was also envious of Tang Kexin's curvy figure.
Just then the office door opened, Qi Dong walked in, and asked Shen Qiu with some uneasiness.
"Boss, is this okay? There are too many people gathered outside the City Lord's Mansion, and they look like they are going crazy."
"No rush, I just want them to go crazy. If they don't go crazy, I'll be the one who goes crazy."
Shen Qiu replied with a smile.
He was in a very happy mood, as if he had discovered a new world. It turned out that being a city lord was possible without having to beg others for everything.
Qi Dong heard this and said after a moment of hesitation.
"What about Vice Council President Yunkong and the others outside the door?"
"not see."
Shen Qiu shook his head and replied.
…
In the afternoon, inside and outside the office, Yan Qing, Qin Li and others surrounded Vice President Yun Kong, and they were like ants on a hot pan.
"Lord Yunkong, please express your opinion! If we delay any further, it will be troublesome if the virus spreads with those refugees. And I heard that this is only the first batch to enter the city. There will be a second and third batch tomorrow!"
"What can I say? It's not my turn to decide this matter. You can talk to Shen Qiu."
Yunkong was also extremely anxious, but what was the use of being anxious
"The problem is that the city lord won't see us, and the number of people protesting outside has reached over 100,000. If this continues, the situation will get out of control."
Yan Qing and the others were almost going crazy, feeling like the sky was falling. They could never have imagined that Shen Qiu would do something so close to suicide.
"You don't have to tell me. Of course I know."
Vice Speaker Yunkong replied with a grim face.
Fortunately, the tightly closed door opened at this time, and Shen Qiu walked out of the office with Yun Xiaoxi and others.
Yunkong and others immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously.
"Lord City Lord."
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly!"
Shen Qiu raised his hand and replied with a smile.
"Lord City Lord, why are you letting the refugees into the city? There's chaos outside now, and the guards can hardly stop the protesters."
Yunkong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Shen Qiu in the calmest tone possible.
In his mind, no matter how stupid a person is, he would not make such a self-destructive decision.
"Don't worry, I have my reasons for doing this. As for the protesters outside, I will go meet them right away!"
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"All right!"
Vice President Yunkong and others were also very surprised. Although they did not quite believe that Shen Qiu could properly resolve the current out-of-control situation, they could only try their best to save the situation.
Shen Qiu then took Yun Kong and others out.
Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a large number of protesters gathered on the wide street. Looking closely at these protesters, each of them was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, wearing various protective masks, and many of them were equipped with bodyguards.
This is very different from traditional protesters, but the anger is exactly the same.
"We want to see the city lord!"
“Oppose accepting refugees!”
"I implore the city lord to realize his mistake, change his wrong decision immediately, and expel those refugees from the city!"
…
Some emotionally agitated people, such as Long Le and others, tried to break into the City Lord's Mansion by force.
It’s a pity that there are not only ordinary soldiers at the door. With the two huge bodies of Ji Dafu and Lu Ba blocking the way, no one can possibly think of attacking the City Lord’s Mansion.
At this time, Wu Yong from Justice Daily was reporting live in front of the camera.
"It is now 4:30 in the afternoon. The incident of refugees entering the city has been brewing for nearly a day. We can see that the number of protesters gathering at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is increasing, and everyone is very excited. But so far, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is still closed, and the City Lord has not come out or issued any clarification. I will keep everyone's attention on the latest developments!"
…
In the live broadcast room, tens of millions of people from the City of Stars angrily filled the screen with curses.
"Is he brave enough to come out after issuing such a cerebral palsy decree?"
"Come out without being drowned in saliva."
"I am really impressed by the situation these days. Any kind of person can become a city lord. I have done better than him in getting to the position."
…
Just when everyone's emotions reached their peak, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion slowly opened.
Ji Dafu and Road Bully both made way to both sides.
Shen Qiu, Yun Kong and others walked out under the attention of everyone.
Suddenly the protesters at the scene became even more excited and they shouted.
"protest!"
"Lord City Lord, expel the refugees immediately."
…
Wu Yong and others immediately picked up their cameras and started taking pictures.
The flash lights kept flashing.
Shen Qiu looked at the almost chaotic scene, raised his hand and spoke calmly.
"Please don't be anxious, please listen to me quietly. You can't solve the problem by making a fuss like this."
As Shen Qiu spoke, the chaotic scene gradually quieted down.
Everyone present stared at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu first sighed slightly, then apologized tiredly.
"I want to apologize to everyone first. I am really too busy with government affairs. I have been busy dealing with them. I have only made time to see you now. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"We don't want to hear that. We just want you to quickly withdraw your policy of accepting refugees."
An inconspicuous middle-aged man immediately shouted loudly.
If you look closely, you can see chaebol giants such as Long Le and Yun Feng standing next to this man.
It is obvious that this man is the spokesperson put forward by Long Le and other bigwigs.
Shen Qiu raised his hand to signal the man to be quiet, and then said with deep emotion.
"I know that a large part of the reason you are gathered here is to protest against the acceptance of refugees. Regarding this matter, I would like to ask you a few questions."
Everyone was slightly stunned. They didn't expect that Shen Qiu would not explain, but ask them instead.
Yun Kong on the side looked at Shen Qiu with a frown. He felt that Shen Qiu was acting strange today, and the content of his speech was not like his style.
In fact, Yunkong was prepared for Shen Qiu to have a conflict with his subordinates and clean up the mess.
But Shen Qiu seemed like a different person today, and even his words became very tactful.
Of course Yun Kong didn't know that the content of Shen Qiu's speech was drafted by Tang Kexin.
At this time Shen Qiu asked affectionately.
"Excuse me, everyone present, are those refugees outside the City of Stars members of the Red Alliance? Are they our dear compatriots? Do they have the same blood as us? Are they not outsiders and strangers?"
After hearing this sentence, many people in the originally angry scene became a little unnatural in expression.
Shen Qiu then gave a heartfelt speech to everyone.
"Everyone, let's ask ourselves, if I listened to your demands, ruthlessly abandoned our compatriots, treated them coldly and cruelly, and watched them die in despair in the wild, would you be able to rest assured? I believe that most people with conscience and love would not be able to bear it! And let's think about it from another perspective, if we were cold-blooded and watched them die today, then next time this happened to you, would I do the same?"
When everyone present heard Shen Qiu's words, they were speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.
Although people are selfish, even if they are very dissatisfied in their hearts, there are some words that cannot be said.
After all, Shen Qiu is now standing on the moral high ground. Whoever stands out to refute him will be regarded as a ruthless, cold-blooded person and will be disgraced.
However, at this time, someone still stood up and spoke.
"Lord City Lord, it's not that we don't want to rescue them, the problem is that they are carrying the virus."
"Virus? You can rest assured. They have all been through rigorous inspections before entering the city. They are very healthy!"
Shen Qiu directly refuted the person who questioned him with just one sentence.
Everyone at the scene fell into silence, and they didn't know what to say.
Shen Qiu looked at the people who were fooled by him and glanced sideways into the crowd.
At this time, Beikelen's subordinate Aklu, wearing a metal mask, stood up unceremoniously, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Shen Qiu and said.
"Lord City Lord, those refugees are carrying a super zombie virus, which is very latent. The Red Alliance doesn't even dare to guarantee that it can be fully detected. Are you sure you can detect it?"
"this… "
Shen Qiu started to act dumb.
"Really? Lord City Lord, please quickly order all those refugees to be expelled, otherwise the entire Star City will be doomed. By then, not only will the awakened ones be in trouble, but ordinary people will also be in trouble."
Long Le and others persuaded anxiously.
"This is not good. We are all compatriots. How can we treat our compatriots so cruelly? Think about it, they did not die from the virus, but died from our indifference. How ironic is that."
Shen Qiu looked very embarrassed.
Long Le and others almost vomited blood when they heard Shen Qiu's words. Why pretend at this time? The problem was that they had no way to refute it.
No one wants to be the first to stand out and be infamous forever!
At this time, Aluk saw that the time was almost right, and immediately said to Shen Qiu.
"Lord City Lord, we understand your desire to rescue your compatriots, but you also have to consider our safety. Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"
“There aren’t that many ways to have the best of both worlds.”
"How could there be none? If all else fails, can't you just set up a quarantine area outside the city?"
"Alas! It's unrealistic to build a quarantine zone. With so many refugees, it would cost a lot of money to build one. At least 400 to 500 billion Blue Alliance coins. The Star City is in a tight financial situation right now and really has no money. Forget it, let's just let them in."
Shen Qiu said with a sigh.
"If we don't have money, we can donate it!"
Aluke took the lead and shouted.
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Le and others became anxious and expressed their opinions one by one.
“Yes, we donate money!”
"Donate money! Build a quarantine area!"
…
Whether it was the people protesting around the City Lord's Mansion or the people watching the live broadcast, they all expressed their willingness to donate money.
Just kidding. If refugees continue to pour in, not only will they be unable to do business, they will also have to stop living. They still know clearly which is more important, their life or money.
When Shen Qiu heard everyone at the scene shouting for donations, he was immediately delighted and decisively spoke to everyone while the iron was hot.
"Okay! Since everyone is so kind-hearted, let's start the donation on the spot, Selni!"
Artificial intelligence Selney then projected itself in front of Shen Qiu.
"Respected Lord City Lord, what can I do for you?"
“Open a donation channel for all people and set up a donation list. All donors will be recorded and ranked according to the amount of donation. Let all the compatriots who received help know who helped them so that they can be grateful to them in the future!”
Shen Qiu said to the artificial intelligence Cerny.
In fact, Shen Qiu said that the reason why he set up this donation list was to encourage everyone to donate more.
Another aspect is that he wants to see which group is the fattest and donates the least, and then he will deal with them one by one afterwards.
"yes!"
When the artificial intelligence Selni heard Shen Qiu's order, it immediately sent a donation channel to everyone in the Red Alliance area of the City of Stars, and everyone could operate it directly on the bracelet and mobile phone.
At the same time, she activated the regional virtual amplification device, and a virtual donation interface popped up in front of all the protesters at the scene.
People began to enter the amount to donate.
At this time, Selni projected a huge virtual ranking list in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and the donation ranking on it was constantly refreshed and adjusted.
Shen Qiu raised his bracelet and opened the donation account. The number on it kept jumping, and in a blink of an eye it exceeded 500 billion Blue Alliance coins, and was still soaring, completely exceeding his expectations.
For a moment, Shen Qiu's heart was filled with joy.
However, Shen Qiu still forced himself to hold it in, as it would be bad if it was discovered.
At this time, Aklu, who had taken the lead in calling for donations, had already stepped back while no one was paying attention, blended into the crowd and finally ran away.
More than an hour later, the donation deadline came, and there were 122.01 billion Blue Alliance coins in the donation fund account.
Shen Qiu looked at the number, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, bowed deeply to everyone, and announced solemnly.
"As the Lord of Star City, I thank you all for your generous donations on behalf of all my fellow countrymen who have suffered. History will remember your contributions! I will officially dispatch the Mechanical Corps to establish an isolation zone on the border between Star City and the Red Alliance to treat and accommodate the refugees who have migrated. At the same time, I will abolish the refugee admission plan and transfer all refugees in the city out."
When the many people protesting at the scene heard Shen Qiu's promise, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally solved."
"Yeah, just move them out."
…
As for the live broadcast room, many people also posted comments.
"It seems that we have wronged the city lord, and he doesn't want this to happen."
"Alas, every family has its own problems. All I can say is that it's not easy. I hope this matter can be resolved satisfactorily."
…
As the protesting people's demands were met, the people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion began to disperse, but Long Le and other group bosses did not leave.
Shen Qiu smiled and looked at Long Le and others who had not left.
"Does anyone have any questions?"
"That's right, Lord City Lord. Didn't you send a large number of mechanical corps to guard the City of Stars? The effect was very good! How come after a few days, the number of mechanical corps has shrunk significantly?"
“Yeah, there aren’t many of them now.”
…
When Shen Qiu heard this, he smiled and said apologetically to Long Le and others.
"Oh, aren't there a lot of refugees at the border? They are also highly contagious. I have no choice but to send part of the mechanical army away, so I'm naturally short of manpower!"
"What about our safety?"
"I can send someone to protect you."
"Most of the awakened ones are now isolated, and it's not enough to rely on ordinary soldiers alone."
"I also know that the soldiers are not as powerful as the mechanical corps, but there is nothing I can do about it. The number of mechanical corps is limited, so I can't do anything about it. But don't worry, in order to deal with emergencies, I have reserved a small number of mechanical corps as backup."
"But the hiring fee is too high."
Long Le and others said in embarrassment.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The maintenance and production costs of the Mechanical Corps are extremely high. But don't worry, once I earn money from hiring them, I will invest the money into the production of the Mechanical Corps. When the number increases, the hiring price will continue to drop, and eventually it will be free."
Shen Qiu began to paint a rosy picture for Long Le and others.
"All right."
After hearing this, Long Le and the others didn't say anything else, and the rest of the people began to disperse.
Seeing that everyone had left, Shen Qiu returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Yun Kong and others.
Yunkong's expression relaxed a lot at this time. He finally understood why Shen Qiu did all this.
"Master Yunkong, I'm really sorry for making you wait outside anxiously for so long today."
Shen Qiu said to Yunkong apologetically.
"That's fine, but it's too dangerous. You're playing with fire. What if the virus really spreads and the situation gets out of control?"
Yunkong said to Shen Qiu in a deep voice.
"You don't have to worry about that. Those refugees are 100% not contagious."
Shen Qiu smiled and replied.
When Yun Kong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something, his eyes widened, he looked at Shen Qiu in disbelief, and finally said with a wry smile.
"It seems that I am really old and can't compete with you young people in terms of hard work and perseverance."
"Lord Yunkong, don't say that. I still need your help."
"Tell me what you want me to do."
"Help me purchase enough supplies and deliver them to the border."
Shen Qiu said to Yun Kong with a smile.
"No problem, that's what I should do."
Yunkong replied solemnly.
…
Blue Alliance, the free city of St. Peter.
Qi Kun walked on the busy streets, watching the bustling scene of people coming and going. From time to time, he stopped at some buildings full of history to admire the mottled traces on them.
Then he came to the Freedom Tower, the tallest tourist building in Liberty City, and bought a ticket to go up.
He went to the top of the Freedom Tower, overlooking the entire city and admiring the afterglow of the sunset.
"Hey, bro, check out the view."
At this time, a blond boy wearing fashionable shorts greeted Qi Kun enthusiastically.
If you look closely, you can see the AEIG logo on the young man's chest.
"Hello!"
Qi Kun asked politely.
"My name is Rice, a native of the Liberty City of St. Peter."
"Qi Kun."
"You are from the Red Alliance, right?"
"Yes, but you don't have to worry. I just came back from another world not long ago. Didn't the City of Stars and the Red Alliance have problems? I happened to have some business here, so I came directly here. My itinerary was checked when I entered the city, so I am very healthy."
"I see. Brother, you made a very wise decision. There is probably no safer place than here in the entire Blue Star."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, our Saint Peter Free City's defense facilities and military strength are extremely strong, second only to the City of Stars. Even the Red Alliance's City of Sunken Stars cannot compare to it."
"Oh, really? But I don't see any particularly strong defensive weapons."
Qi Kun asked with great interest.
"How can the weapons be revealed? They are hidden underground and will be deployed when needed!"
"Good design, which master designed this?"
…
Qi Kun and Rice got along very well and chatted for more than an hour. Finally, Rice said goodbye to Qi Kun.
"Brother, I have to go on patrol now. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"good!"
Qi Kun said goodbye with a smile.
After Rice left, Qi Kun also turned and left.
He returned to his hotel room, turned on a laptop, and browsed the Internet for information on the Blue Alliance City of Agarad, the City of Ofakan, and the Gray Alliance.
Qi Kun already had a lot of memories about the Red Alliance and the City of Stars in his head, but not enough about the Blue Alliance and the Gray Alliance. In order not to miss any point, he came here to take a look.
…
Inside the office of the Executive Council Building in the City of Sunken Stars.
Parliament Speaker Long Yan sat in his chair with a serious expression, while Vice Speaker Wang Heng was reporting on his work.
"The situation is very grim now. Although the growth rate of the number of infections has slowed down, there are still a large number of new cases every day. If it continues like this, we will collapse."
"Is there no new breakthrough at the research institute?"
"Not yet. All the PhD researchers are working very hard on it. In fact, this virus is not completely untreatable. The research institute has developed several effective drugs, but the cost is too high and there is no way to mass produce them! You have to know that the number of people infected has reached tens of millions, and we don't know how many people are in the incubation period."
Wang Heng said to Long Yan with a headache.
Just when Wang Heng and Long Yan were discussing something, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened, interrupting their conversation.
Wang Heng turned around and scolded angrily.
"Who is it? Didn't I tell you that I'm discussing something with the Speaker of the Parliament and no one is allowed to come in..."
Wang Heng was stunned in the middle of his words. The person who walked in was none other than Long Qing.
Long Qing looked at Wang Heng indifferently, and Wang Heng immediately stood up and said to Long Yan.
"Mr. Council President, please continue chatting. I will take my leave now."
"Go ahead."
The Speaker of the Longyan Council nodded slightly in response.
After Vice President Wang Heng left, Long Qing closed the door and pressed a soundproof button on the wall.
She walked straight up to the chairman of the Longyan Council and questioned him in an extremely cold tone.
"Why give the City of Stars to Shen Qiu?"
"I do this for my own reasons."
Long Yan knew that Long Qing came to call him to task.
"Long Yan, we are husband and wife, there is no need to beat around the bush about many things. Don't think that you can hide it from me just because you do it perfectly. Look at this!"
Long Qing directly threw a DNA test report on the table.
Long Yan picked up the test report and took a look at it. This test report tested the DNA matching of Long Xiu and Shen Qiu. It showed that the two were half-brothers and their DNA similarity was extremely high.
Seeing that Long Yan remained silent, Long Qing spoke.
"From the beginning, I felt that something was wrong with Shen Qiu. Although you encrypted his information and arrested the people who investigated his background, this did not bother me. Although I can't get your DNA information, you may have forgotten that it was easy for me to get the DNA information of Long Xiu and Shen Qiu. Do you have anything else to explain now?"
"Shen Qiu is indeed my son."
Long Yan said calmly.
"Just admit it, let's talk about it. Even if Shen Qiu is your child, then Long Xiu is also your child. You can't be so partial to one over the other, right? You gave the City of Stars to Shen Qiu. Have you ever considered Long Xiu? Don't mention that you plan to hand over the Red Alliance to Long Xiu. You know what the Red Alliance is like now, don't you? It's a complete mess."
Long Qing directly blocked any words that Long Yan might say. In her eyes, only the City of Stars was valuable because it was the last refuge and the hope of everything.
"Are you done? Is it my turn to speak now?"
Long Yan replied in a deep voice.
"Go ahead."
"Even though Shen Qiu is my child, I don't favor one over the other. The reason why I gave the City Lordship of Star City to Shen Qiu is not because I favor him, but because I asked him to help deal with the mess of Star City. Do you think the current situation of Star City is good? I tell you the truth, the current situation of Star City is also a mess. I now need a strong person to take the position and turn the whole situation around! And Shen Qiu is the most suitable person!"
"Long Xiu can do the same."
"He can't, and there's nothing to argue about. Facts have proven that my choice was correct. Shen Qiu has done a good job as the city lord."
The Speaker of the Longyan Council said in a deep voice.
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"Facts speak louder than words. You can just watch quietly."
"Humph, since that doesn't make sense, then we'll just have to wait and see. You won't get what you want in this matter."
After Long Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Long Yan looked at Long Qing's back, his expression becoming more and more tired, but what is coming will eventually come.
…
In the office of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Stars.
Shen Qiu was very happy when he saw the funds raised. The profit effect exceeded expectations.
What Bai Mucheng said was indeed true. The people in the City of Stars were extremely wealthy. They donated so much money just by squeezing them a little bit. It was a world of difference from the last donation.
Yun Xiaoxi and Qi Dong looked at the money and felt dazed for a while, and they haven't recovered yet.
Tang Kexin also said in amazement.
“I didn’t expect to raise so much money.”
"I didn't expect being a city lord would be so profitable. I just move my fingers casually and the money keeps coming in."
Shen Qiu nodded. If he were to earn this much money himself, he might not be able to do so even if he risked half his life. Being a city lord is really more profitable than running any company.
"Senior, what are you going to do next?"
"I will allocate 200 billion Blue Alliance coins to Wang Jing first, and the rest of the money can be kept for him to use. And this is just the beginning. Since the position of city lord is so profitable, we can't waste this resource."
Shen Qiu replied in a very good mood.
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
Qi Dong asked curiously.
Shen Qiu's expression changed for a moment, then he made a decision and said.
"I decided to collect materials, start a resonator production line, and sell resonators! Resonators are so valuable now, I can definitely make a fortune!"
"Senior, are you sure this is okay? If you just produce the resonator, Zhou Sheng will definitely notice it? Or do you plan to get rid of him?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Kexin's eyes, and she asked with great interest.
Yun Xiaoxi and Qi Dong also looked at Shen Qiu with confusion.
Shen Qiu stroked his chin and thought for a while, then spoke rationally.
"Don't touch Zhou Sheng for now. Chairman Long Yan once said that the guy is not that easy to move, and now we are focusing on maintaining stability. As for our production of resonators, it doesn't matter if he finds out! I am the mayor of Star City now, so there is no need to be afraid of him. He is the one we should be afraid of. He'd better not make any mistakes. If I catch him, he'll be dead."
"That makes sense. Now that the senior's status is different from before, he should be the one to be afraid of."
Tang Kexin replied with a smile.
Shen Qiu no longer hesitated at this time, he turned his head and said to Qi Dong.
"Qi Dong, go find Zhang Can and go with him to collect the raw materials for the resonator!"
"good!"
"Be careful when collecting, put your own safety first, and tell me immediately if you encounter any trouble."
"no problem."
Qi Dong immediately turned around and left.
After Shen Qiu finished the arrangements, he tapped the table with his fingers and said seriously.
"If the production of the resonator goes smoothly, we will have a very high net profit, which should be able to make up for the decline in the income of the Stars, and maybe even restore the balance of payments."
"That's not great."
"Yes, but we can't be happy too soon. The root cause has not been resolved. No matter what we do, it will only delay the crisis. No matter how much money we make, we will have to pay it all back sooner or later."
"The Pure Light Virus and Death Language? Didn't they give them to the research institute for study?"
Tang Kexin asked curiously.
"Yes, the problem is that the institute has not made any constructive breakthroughs so far."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly and replied.
"What should we do then?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked worriedly.
Shen Qiu thought for a while and said.
"Let me ask Anji about the Pure Light Virus first. After all, this virus came from Anji's world. They must have done some research on it. Even if they don't have a solution, they should at least have a direction."
"What the senior said makes sense!"
Tang Kexin replied with a smile.
Shen Qiu then dialed the communication of the floating fortress.
Soon Angie's projection appeared, and she asked while yawning.
"what?"
"Of course I have something to ask you. I want to ask if the Pure Light Virus is really unsolvable. Didn't you guys research how to deal with it?"
"Of course there has been research. The Pure Light Virus is not unsolvable."
Angie replied readily.
"What is the solution?"
Shen Qiu asked with great joy.
"The virus actually gets weaker as the number of people infected increases and as time goes by. That's why, when you dug up the city lord's grave and the virus leaked, there was no large-scale spread out of control! So we just need to freeze it for a few decades to solve the problem."
Angie said simply.
"What a pitfall! What a stupid idea! You'll be dead in a few decades."
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"Then I can't help it. Who told you to mess around? I won't tell you anymore. I'm repairing and cracking things here."
Angie shrugged helplessly, looking helpless, and then hung up the phone.
"Well, it looks like the Clean Light Virus won't be cured in a short time. As for the Death Whisper Virus on the refugees, let me think about it."
Shen Qiu said with a sigh.
Yun Xiaoxi and Tang Kexin watched Shen Qiu thinking quietly.
At this moment, Qi Lin's appearance suddenly flashed through Shen Qiu's mind, and he reacted abruptly.
"Qi Lin! Damn it, I actually forgot about him."
"Qi Lin?"
Yun Xiaoxi and the other person were also stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this virus an upgraded version of the virus that was prevalent in District 8? Qi Lin solved the virus in District 8 back then, so he should have a solution."
Shen Qiu said in a decisive tone.
Qi Lin himself is an expert in this field. This Death Word was artificially synthesized by the Defeatist Church. In theory, there should be a way to solve it.
"I see."
Tang Kexin replied with a smile.
"Let's go to the floating fortress to find Qi Lin."
Shen Qiu immediately stood up and said.
"Wait, senior."
Tang Kexin suddenly called out to Shen Qiu.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qiu looked at Tang Kexin in confusion.
"Senior, you still have a lot of documents to review. If you run out now, you won't be able to finish your work today."
Tang Kexin reminded with a smile.
Shen Qiu's expression suddenly became very interesting, but he immediately thought of a compromise, so he said to Tang Kexin.
"Bring the documents with you."
"good!"
Tang Kexin responded with a smile.
…
Several hours later, in the long steel corridor of the floating fortress.
Shen Qiu walked in front, and Tang Kexin, who was following on the right, was holding a document and reading continuously.
"Material Procurement Department, apply to purchase a batch of air purification systems to transform the facilities used to isolate awakened people to prevent further cross-infection. The budget is 500 million Blue Alliance coins."
"approve!"
"Construction Department 3, apply for a fund to repair some damaged roads and public facilities in Star City. The amount is 1 billion Blue Alliance Coins."
"No, we don't have money right now! Money should be spent wisely."
…
Tang Kexin followed Shen Qiu and kept making comments on the documents for him.
Yun Xiaoxi felt a little envious when she saw Tang Kexin's capable appearance.
Not long after, Shen Qiu and the other two arrived at the door of the laboratory, only to see Muchen standing at the door getting some fresh air, looking like he had a headache.
"Mu Chen!"
Shen Qiu shouted happily.
When Muchen saw Shen Qiu and the others coming, he greeted them with a gentle smile.
"Shen Qiu, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see Qi Lin."
"Looking for Qi Lin?"
Mu Chen's expression froze slightly.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"I advise you not to go in and look for him now. He is furious because the development of the SS-level gene medicine has been blocked, and he is smashing things crazily. Wouldn't it be unlucky if you go in now?"
Mu Chen said to Shen Qiu with a wry smile.
"Oh, no, so unlucky?"
When Shen Qiu heard what Muchen said, his face was full of helplessness.
"So don't go in."
Muchen replied with a deep headache.
"That won't work. I'm actually going in to find him. It's important."
"What is it?"
"It's not that the Red Alliance has a virus spreading, so I wanted to find Qi Lin to see if he could solve it. You know Qi Lin is an expert in this area. He was the one who solved the problem in District 8."
"I see. That is indeed very important. But can you convince him?"
Mu Chen asked very worriedly.
"No, it has to work!"
Shen Qiu took a deep breath, adjusted his state and walked in.
When they entered the laboratory, the floor was covered with broken glass. From a distance they could see Qi Lin standing in front of the operating table like a mad and angry lion.
"Qi Lin?"
Shen Qiu shouted cautiously.
The veins on Qi Lin's forehead bulged at first, but he quickly realized that it was Shen Qiu who called him, so he turned his head to look at Shen Qiu and asked irritably.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Qiu said with a smile.
"I have something to talk to you about. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Stop talking nonsense, just say it if you have something to say, don't waste my time."
Qi Lin's expression eased a lot and he replied in a cold voice.
Shen Qiu knew Qi Lin's temper very well, so he didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"I would like to ask you to help study the corpse virus, the Word of Death, that has spread throughout the Red Alliance."
When Qi Lin heard Shen Qiu's words, he refused angrily without hesitation.
"I don't have time. Don't bother me. I'm researching SS-level gene medicine!"
