Shen Qingmei always thought that the fastest substance in the world was photons. After meeting Lao Li, she realized that the thing faster than photons was stillness.
It's like a follower and a leader. No matter how fast the former runs, it is just to keep up with the former.
Being ahead in thought and realm is always more important than running fast with your feet.
The punch that Lao Li used to scare the demon god Chongguang to the ground was for this reason. Chongguang is very fast, but Lao Li is more accurate. That seemingly simple punch had actually blocked all Chongguang's chances of escaping. At the same time, the power of breaking through the space also made Chongguang feel the threat of death, so he gave up.
Shen Qingmei finally understood this truth after awakening to the fourth level of photon force. On the day she figured this out, Lao Li actually invited the new director of the Special Operations Bureau to the base cafeteria. This incident was completely beyond the little girl's expectation.
This cold-faced demon has always given no face to anyone. Shen Qingmei was almost sent back to the rear before, and Ji Xuefei asked Mr. Long to come forward but was blocked. In the end, it was her, Master Lin, who showed mercy and transferred her organization to the southern front theater on the grounds that the frontline infrastructure was severely damaged and there was a lack of fresh water supply and healers, so she was not taken back.
The force of water can create a large amount of fresh water, and the force of light has anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effects. The combined effect of the two is even more obvious than the healing effect of many emergency medical measures. Shen Qingmei awakened the light force power and became a dual force user with the qualification of a healer. Healers are rare. A healer in The Force Awakens can save the lives of multiple seriously injured mecha warriors in extreme battlefield environments.
In this case, the cold-faced demon had to give some face.
Shen Qingmei has always been brooding about being kicked out of the Special Operations Directorate. Healer is a highly respected profession, but for her, it lacks the flavor of being a warrior. In comparison, she prefers a charge-forward position.
Bai Qi still has the same poker face. In Lao Li's words, this guy looks like he owes everyone 80,000 yuan. Lao Li has a very strict mouth, and he has never mentioned his past relationship with Director Bai Qi until now. When Shen Qingmei thought about it, maybe his relationship with Bai Qi was not as familiar as he first guessed.
The food has been prepared by Lao Li. He cooks it himself and then you can eat it. Shen Qingmei was responsible for taking care of the dishes. When he brought out the plates one after another, he noticed that Bai Qi had been standing there waiting. Shen Qingmei saw that this man was unhappy sincerely. He stood there like a telephone pole. If this ruthless and boring man put aside his identity and took off his military uniform, he would probably be no different from a dead person.
After finishing his work in the kitchen, Lao Li returned to the house, glanced at Bai Qi, and then Shi Shiran sat on the main seat. Bai Qi stood aside and said nothing. Lao Li waved to him to sit down, and the director sat down at the next guest seat. Shen Qingmei didn't care about all the etiquette and sat down opposite Lao Li. Her tutoring is not bad, and she also understands the rules of orderliness, but she is just used to being casual in front of Lao Li. Seeing Bai Qi being so formal, I couldn't help but be curious. The relationship between this cold-faced demon and Lao Li was unusual. This is clearly a gift from Zhi's son-nephew.
"Let's eat." Lao Li picked up the chopsticks and signaled to Bai Qi that he could start. "Times have changed. Not many people have followed these red tapes."
"You will always be my uncle." Bai Qi picked up a piece of smoked chicken wing and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully and praised: "This taste will never change."
"You kid, don't talk sweetly to your uncle." Lao Li was unmoved and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What changes is not just words, it also depends on what you do. Uncle, why didn't I ask you to help me before?" Are you busy? Look at your push and pull."
"What you are talking about is official business." Bai Qi glanced at Shen Qingmei coldly with an expressionless face and said, "She made a mistake and should be punished according to regulations!"
"Fart!" Lao Li wiped away his usual low-key demeanor of a wretched uncle, puffed his beard and stared at the table, shouting: "Why don't you think about your reckless mistakes when you were young before making a decision? Why should I wipe your ass for you? Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Then he said earnestly: It is inevitable for young people to make mistakes. You have been with me for so many years and you haven't learned this thing?"
Shen Qingmei was startled when he slapped the table, and was shocked again when he heard what he said next. It turns out that the new director-general had also fooled around with Lao Li. Listening to the tone of this lecture, it is not difficult to imagine the relationship between the two. I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart. It seemed that there was great hope for returning to the action team.
Bai Qi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Uncle, you know it's not easy for me to stay."
"Actually, I also want to know why you didn't go to your aunt's house in the first place."
"Because I don't think she did the right thing." Bai Qi said: "I stayed in China these years. My aunt was annoyed with me, and the country did not trust me. Although I was never reused, I always tried my best. I am in South Asia. In the subcontinent, I am responsible for the security work of the Dark Matter Research Center, and I compete with the cult organization controlled by the Quantum Demon. I once executed hundreds of thousands of mobs at one time. Therefore, they called me Yama Death, and I have been notorious in the South Asian subcontinent ever since... . ”
He must have a notorious reputation. Shen Qingmei cursed in her heart.
Bai Qi paused for a moment as he said this. Over the years, he had lived a very depressed life, suffered a lot of grievances and suspicions, and was always under tremendous psychological pressure. In front of others, he always showed a cold and stern face, but in front of Li Muye, he could finally speak his mind. After he calmed down, he continued: "Uncle, no matter how wronged I have been over the years, I have never complained to anyone, just because I always remember your teachings. When I am born as a human being, I must not only do something and not do something, but also You have to do something! Since I, Bai Qi, am a member of the Chinese nation, I should fight for the survival of the nation as a member of the Chinese nation!"
When Shen Qingmei heard this, she could hardly help but slap her thighs and praise her. She never expected that there was such a hot and pure emotion hidden behind the cold-faced demon's dead face.
Lao Li chuckled and said, "I know it's not easy for you, kid. Isn't it the end of all the hardships now?"
"Uncle, I know very well how I got this opportunity." Bai Qi said: "It was nominally recommended by President Long and approved by the President against all opinions. In fact, it was because of your influence." He added Said: "It is precisely because of this that I have to be upright and do things impartially. At first, it was because I was walking on thin ice and did not dare to make mistakes, but now it is because of the perseverance in my heart over the years. If I follow your instructions, I will be sorry for all these years." Among myself and those who I have dealt with impartially, there are also people with extenuating circumstances like Shen Xiaomei."
"Hi, he was clumsy and clumsy back then, but now he has learned to speak eloquently." Old Li laughed dryly and said: "It's not a big deal, why did you kid raise him to a level that shakes the foundation of his life? Up there? She is a healer, such a rare talent... "
"Old Li, don't embarrass Brother Bai." Shen Qingmei suddenly interrupted: "I am now convinced of Brother Bai's decision."
"Oh, you figured it out so quickly." Lao Li said with a smile: "You said this yourself. When you are drunk in the future, you are not allowed to say that Master won't make the decision for you, and you are not allowed to be lazy with me because of this matter. "
"Old Li, please don't accuse me unjustly. I say that every time I give up, I just say it out loud when I'm depressed." Shen Qingmei said, "Brother Bai, don't listen to Old Li's nonsense. Although I have changed my mind and don't want to go to the General Operations Bureau. , but I have to make it clear to you that I have not completely given up on this matter. If there is an opportunity through formal channels, I will still fight for it. I believe that you will give me a fair chance to compete by then. Then he said: "Also, I don't actually get drunk very often."
Bai Bei nodded and said: "I have always thought you were outstanding. Now the entire first line of defense is getting longer and longer. Guixu monsters are rampant. More and more cities are affected. Two hundred million He people are living in dire straits. , the total population in the inland has been saturated, and they can only stay on the island. The Allied Powers established the Special Operations Directorate to assist the Metropolitan Police Department in protecting their lives and property from threats. The existing manpower is far insufficient, so the opportunity will definitely some."
Lao Li laughed and said, "Why didn't you say this earlier? I wasted so much time talking to you."
"As soon as you opened your mouth, you asked me to open a back door for Miss Shen, and you didn't allow me to talk about it." Bai Qi didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the topic and asked: "Uncle, I didn't have time to ask you before, how have you been doing these years? How did you get here? What happened to you and my aunt?"
"The child has no mother, it's a long story." Lao Li waved his hand and said in an old-fashioned tone: "You young people should not interfere with our affairs."
Bai Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, I am no longer young. On the contrary, you look no less elegant than you did back then. Looking at you reminds me of my aunt. I haven't seen her in ten years. That day in the South Asian subcontinent, I was killed by a god." The leader planned to trap me, but it was my aunt who broke the time and space trap he set and rescued me. At that time, she hoped that I could go back to Mexico with her, but she left after I refused, and we haven't seen each other since."
Shen Qingmei also echoed: "I also think that Lao Li's appearance is too inconsistent with his actual age. If Brother Bai hadn't called him uncle these times, I would have thought that he was at least the same age as you." He stared again. Bai Qi asked: "Brother Bai, your aunt must be more beautiful in person than the photo in our wanted poster, right? She seems to be one year older than Lao Li, so she shouldn't be younger, right?"
"That bitch has taken part in nature, and her beauty will last forever. She will only live younger and younger." Lao Li said angrily: "This sounds nice, but in fact, she is ruthless, heartless, and this kind of person spends a lot of time Everyone is walking around in fear, how can you get old?"
"Old Li, you're not calm anymore." Shen Qing frowned and said, "I haven't seen what the ruthless Poison Phoenix looks like, but the petty Old Li sees it every day."
Bai Qi frowned slightly, as if he felt it was inappropriate for Shen Qingmei to talk to Lao Li like this.
"Don't worry about it. This girl is used to being poor like me. This is good." Lao Li waved his hand to stop Bai Qi from having an attack and said, "We are masters and disciples, and we have been friends for many years. We have been alone for a long time, and we have such a little person beside us. Just say a few words to prevent my uncle from living a boring life."
"Uncle, is it because of my aunt that you are like this now?" Bai Qi looked at the sad stubble on Lao Li's face and his decadent eyes, recalling the high-spirited tycoon who led him and evil to do whatever he wanted. I couldn't bear it in my heart.
"It's the main reason, and it's partly my own factor." Lao Li thought of Huo Yun who stayed in Guixu, and thought of Qingdi Wanghuo's parting words. He sighed and said, "The woman who is most suitable for me in this world is Your aunt and uncle did something wrong that day and hurt her heart. Until she forgives me, I will be like this for the rest of my life." After saying this, he felt a little uninterested, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. All.
"Old Li, you must have been very good back then, right?" Shen Qingmei pulled Old Li out of his melancholy with just one sentence.
"Not bad." Lao Li nodded seriously.
"How awesome is it?"
"Let's put it this way, your sister-in-law is quite awesome. She was spanked by our Lao Li when she did something wrong."
"Really or not, someone like my senior sister-in-law actually dares to spank her?"
In fact, the monkey steals the peach and hits the more critical parts. What Lao Li said was actually modest.
Bai Qi said: "Let me tell you this, Mr. Long was also my uncle's subordinate back then." He added: "In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Alliance, half of the six Vajras under Mr. Chen who made great contributions were once my uncle's. Not only Mr. Long, but also Mr. Ye and Bureau Lu."
"Mr. Ye from the Force Management Committee and Director Lu Shaofen from the Military Intelligence Bureau?" Shen Qingmei was so surprised that she stared at Lao Li with her mouth open, and then said for a long time: "Oh my god. , Lao Li, I admire you so much."
"Hey, little girl, will you not dare to make friends with Lao Li in the future just because you know this?"
"How is it possible? I'm not a fool. I don't know how to hold such a thick thigh here?" The little girl's expression was exaggerated. She wanted to slap Lao Li on the shoulder like before. She raised her hand and hesitated for a moment before putting it down. , laughed in a self-deprecating way, and said: "Forget it, I'll save you some face today."
Bai Qi hesitated to speak, his expression was solemn, as if he had something important to say, but he was not sure whether he should say it or not.
Lao Li stopped smiling and asked seriously: "Is something wrong?"
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Actually, I came here today to ask you about something important." He added, "This matter has been in my heart for a long time. I have always wanted to ask it but didn't know what to do." Open your mouth."
"Is there anything else we gentlemen can't ask?"
Bai Qi hummed and said, "Uncle, I heard that the evacuation operation has begun. What are your plans?"
"First tell me what their plan is. I have been involved in the world for a long time and don't know anything. In your current position, you should know more details than me."
"The three major allies made an alliance with the White Emperor of the Shark Race as early as fifteen years ago. Once the Gate to Ruins is opened and the Age of Apocalypse comes, humans will immediately evacuate the earth. The destination chosen by the Shark Race is six light years away. It is an earth-like planet. The first batch of human elites are mainly those who have awakened the water and wood elements. Obviously they plan to build a new earth. A large number of fusion reactors are also prepared on the interstellar sky boat. They should be prepared Used to ignite a planet near an Earth-like planet as a new sun."
"Well, go on."
"The ultimate transport capacity of the interstellar spacecraft is about eight million people. The round-trip time for interstellar travel is expected to take twenty years. Humanity now has a population of eight billion and it will take a thousand times. At this rate, even if the current human beings no longer It will take a full 20,000 years for all the immigrants to reproduce." Bai Qi said: "Obviously this is impossible. Judging from the current situation, maybe when the interstellar sky boat returns to the earth for the second time, Humanity is extinct."
"I know what you mean. You want to tell me that if I don't leave with the Star Sky Boat this time, there may not be another chance. So what you want to ask is, do I want to stay or leave?" Li smiled slightly and said, "The answer is actually very simple. Wherever your aunt goes, I will go."
"Old Li, I will protect our home with you." Shen Qingmei echoed.
Bai Qi looked solemn and said: "The first batch of eight million people are all Force Awakeners of level four or above. As far as I know, the Dark Matter Research Center was cooperating with North America eight years ago to develop the Super 7 chip, which successfully Afterwards, the government elites of various countries immediately accepted the Super 7 chip transformation. They were well prepared and would not look back once the evacuation began. After these human elites left, the existing home defense lines would inevitably collapse faster. Here The situation may deteriorate quickly."
He is right. The government elites of the three major allies are the mainstay in leading the homeland's defense. Bai Qi could be so specific. It seemed that he had received a specific evacuation order, but he just didn't say it clearly. If all the elites like Lao Long Bai Qi evacuate, how long can the remaining army resist
Bai Di Xuanhao's idea is to take away the elite humans who have awakened from the Force and start a new one, leaving the earth for King Apocalypse, the Guixu Demon Gods, the Quantum Demon, Bai Wuxia, Schroeder and other similarly ambitious strong men. Those who fought for it. As for the life and death of those humans who couldn't be taken away, that was not his concern.
"When are they planning to evacuate?"
"The order I received is that the first line of defense must be maintained for at least three years." Bai Qi said: "Uncle, I don't plan to leave. I have decided to leave the opportunity to my parents. If you and your aunt don't leave, Heerenveen will Giving birth has delayed the opportunity to awaken the Force, and I am not qualified to board the ship. If I leave on my own, what’s the point of surviving.”
Shen Qingmei said with murderous intent: "Stay and fight to the bitter end, or the worst we can do is experience another civilization restart." Suddenly realizing something, she glared at Bai Qi and said, "Brother Bai, do you already have a wife?"
Bai Qi looked confused and didn't understand why she was so surprised. He nodded and said, "Is it weird to get married at my age?"
Shen Qingmei was a little discouraged. She glanced at Lao Li and said, "Hey, why are all the good men in this era married... Hey, Lao Li, I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?"
"Bai Qi, it's time for you to go." Lao Li suddenly stood up and issued an order to expel the guests, and then said to Shen Qingmei: "You should also go into the city and save as many as you can!"
Bai Qi immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly asked: "Uncle, what did you sense?" (End of Chapter)
