That night, no one in Qinggang slept.
Originally, Qinggang prepared a grand celebration banquet for the returning tyrant team, and some people even prepared to talk to the soldiers about future cooperation at the celebration banquet. In short, to see what methods can be used There is another way to pay the commission he deserves, but he did not expect that this much-anticipated celebration banquet was suddenly cancelled urgently.
An invisible pressure, like a dark cloud, is pressing on Qinggang, who has just achieved unprecedented success.
Some people work overtime overnight to analyze data.
Some people immediately mobilized the latest intelligence and the world's trends, trying to see something.
There were also people who gained so much trust in such a night and took control of Lu Xinzhenruo's life bank card.
Ugh…
…
…
In the hostel previously prepared by the Qinggang Special Clearance Department for Lu Xin's classmates, Lu Xin's classmates were also quietly packing their things at this time. , sort out your own thoughts.
No. 2 sat on the white and soft quilt, squinting, studying how to turn on the TV in this guest house.
No. 3 locked himself in the guest house's room, and asked the staff of the guest house to buy a lot of things, such as iron hooks, thick steel needles, bundles of tough steel wires, etc., as well as some prohibited hot weapons in the high-walled city , such as small apples, rocket launchers, submachine guns, etc. If it weren't for the special Qing Ministry's guest house, it would have been different from ordinary guest houses, and I would not know where to find these things.
Who would call the front desk to tell me to bring me a basket of small apples and two submachine guns when I was staying
The strangest thing is that he asked for so many things, but when he left the next day, the room became empty. No. 3 just put his hands in his pockets and walked out easily without even a backpack. , no one knows where these things are placed. .
Before leaving, Lu Xin also asked him if he wanted to go back to Soda City to see his family.
But No. 3 pondered for a long time, but refused.
"If you go, you may not want to come back..."
He replied with a smile: "And I promised my wife that this time I will come out and solve everything."
After No. 5 arrived at the guest house, he instructed the ghost train to return to her secret laboratory, and pulled back a box that was more than three meters high and eight or nine meters long. No one knew what was in the box, but It was so dark and frightening that No. 5 got into the carriage and packed up in the middle of the night. When she came out of the box, her eyes lit up and she had a look of anticipation on her face.
No. 8 is sitting in the room, slowly polishing the shiny torture tools in his box, grinding the ones that are not sharp enough to become sharp, and re-maintaining the ones that are not shiny enough, with a meticulous look, looking at these torture tools, There seems to be some kind of happiness.
No. 14 sat on the sofa, ate a whole roasted whole lamb with no appetite, and then hugged his stomach in a daze.
Nineteen sneaked into the kitchen of the guest house and stole two table knives.
My sister hid in a sealed room, not knowing what to count, the walls of the room swayed from time to time.
…
…
Lu Xin is walking with the doll.
Just so aimlessly, quietly walking down the street.
Enjoy the waste of time and feel a meaningless happiness.
Before, the people in Qinggang were very discerning and would never disturb the two of them at this time.
But this time, Qinggang seems to be a little different from before. A car quietly appeared on the street. Professor Bai, Mr. Su, Chen Jing and others got out of the car. In the past, people with their identities traveled, at least I want to prepare a team, but now it is just a lonely car driving out without even a bodyguard, which seems to explain the changes in Qinggang today...
"If you want to fight against the Tech Church, then I think Qinggang will also contribute."
They were very direct, came to Lu Xin, and Professor Bai opened his mouth and gave his answer directly.
"First of all, the Church of Science and Technology is the public enemy of the world. The Alliance has suffered from their losses, and our Qinggang has suffered as well."
"Secondly, you are from Qinggang now. According to Qinggang's special talent introduction regulations, your contribution today has even exceeded the category of seventh-level special talents. That is to say, your identity is already equivalent to several gentlemen. Therefore, Qinggang has the responsibility to protect you, whether it is public or private, there is no reason for Qinggang to take risks by yourself at such a last moment."
"… "
"I upgraded again?"
Lu Xin was slightly surprised, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
But in the face of the opinions of Professor Bai and others, he thought about it, shook his head, and said, "No need."
"We went this time, not to fight the Tech Church, but just for personal matters."
"… "
Chen Jing couldn't help but said: "Every time you deal with private affairs, the disturbance is bigger than the tolerance."
Lu Xin: "..."
Chen Jing sighed and said, "We still recommend that you don't go to the Church of Science and Technology, and that... your old dean is not someone's business, we should be more careful and wait for the dark world to be dealt with. On the matter over there, we have settled our people, and then contacted the Northern Front, discussed them together, and worked out a plan to fight against the Tech Church."
"so… "
"… "
Lu Xin shook his head: "In that case, it might be too late."
He smiled and said, "I know our dean, he won't give people such a chance."
"Besides, he invited us in a personal name. If we did, wouldn't it be impolite?"
"… "
"this… "
Seeing Lu Xin's attitude, the expressions of several people were slightly unnatural.
On the other hand, Mr. Su, who usually hides behind everything, couldn't help but took a step forward and said, "Although, I don't know much about the field of mental mutation, but I have been tricked by you too many times, and I have a little experience. , don't you often say when you are training capable people? Battle is never the key to determining victory or defeat, preparation for battle is..."
"Your old dean has been preparing for many years..."
"… "
"Mr. Su, who is ignorant and incompetent, actually knows the rules of confrontation for those who are capable?"
Lu Xin wanted to laugh inexplicably, then nodded lightly, and said seriously, "He has indeed been preparing for many years."
Then, slowly said: "We are too."
This time, the atmosphere of the chat was slightly heavier, and the only lively thing was the doll's lightly blinking eyes.
"Okay, the level of advice is over."
At this moment, Professor Bai, who had combed his hair, suddenly sighed softly and said to Lu Xin with a smile, "Although I already knew that I wouldn't be able to persuade you, I still have to persuade you, in case you change your temper and learn to listen. What about people persuading you? Qinggang will not stop you if you want to go there. This may indeed be a private matter, but Qinggang has already made preparations. We are here this time to…”
He took the folder from Chen Jing and said, "Show you Qinggang's plan."
"Here is the third and final stage of the Qinggang Heavenly Kingdom plan. You should also know about it."
"After all, after all, you are also one of the plan leaders..."
"… "
"The third phase?"
Lu Xin was slightly surprised and took the folder.
In the first stage, he participated directly and participated in the discussions as a core candidate of the plan.
In the second stage, as the captain of the tyrant team, he cooperated as a whole.
But before that, Lu Xin didn't know that Qinggang had already made plans for the third stage...
"The inspiration and direction of the plan came from Lin Mo, a talented researcher at the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute, and was handed over to us by Dean Xue Jia. The overall steps of the plan were customized by relevant researchers and capable people in Qinggang, and more specific The implementation idea of this is jointly formulated by experts from various parties in our Qinggang Spiritual Power Research Base, and has also received help from many people."
"But the completion of this plan is beyond our control..."
"… "
If Lu Xin wants to understand something, he will understand it in a very short time in a way that goes against common sense.
Therefore, he just glanced at the plan, and his face could not help but be a little dignified.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked up at Professor Bai: "Is it possible for such a plan... to succeed?"
Professor Bai nodded lightly and said, "The point is whether we believe we can succeed, isn't it?"
"Yes… "
After being silent for a while, Lu Xin suddenly laughed and said, "Whether it's successful or not, just do our job well." Gu
…
…
At five o'clock in the morning, before the sun rose, Lu Xin and his classmates boarded the ghost train.
The only ones who boarded the train were the students in the orphanage and the other members of the tyrant team, who had already completed their tasks.
The vice-captain had a very complicated mood about this. He was originally carrying a small bag with a trembling expression on Wei Wei's face. He came to ask Lu Xin to ask for leave, saying that he had diarrhea, which was very serious. Could he not follow him? He said that he didn't need to follow him in the first place... The gecko's complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he changed his words hurriedly: "Actually, I can go, anyway, I can help you carry a bag or something..."
"It's a big deal, I'll stay away from the fight..."
"… "
"Need not."
Lu Xin shook his head with a smile, and patted the gecko on the shoulder: "If something happens this time, it's really possible that I can't protect you."
The gecko cried with an "Ow", and was moved to tears.
"Captain, I knew that before you took me out on an adventure, it was just to tease me..."
"… "
Lu Xin was a little surprised, thinking that he wasn't sure every time before, but it wasn't so serious.
It stands to reason that the principal of Red Moon Elementary School, Teacher Xiaolu, is actually a member of the orphanage. She should be brought with her to such a gathering. Even in the letter from the old dean, it may not be that she did not mean to bring Teacher Xiaolu. But Lu Xin still decided not to take her, and didn't even tell her the news. Maybe all the survivors gathering will make more sense...
But what is the significance compared to security and stability
Before boarding the car, Lu Xin glanced back at Qinggang, saw the people standing on the steel suspension bridge seeing them off, and even saw the dark night hiding in the corner in the spiritual world of everyone in Qinggang. and a certain white-haired preacher.
He smiled and nodded, then got into the car.
In the car door, No. 2 wearing round glasses followed and found a place to sit down.
Then there was No. 3, who took off his watch and changed into a brand new suit.
Then there was No. 5, who was absent-minded and anxious to settle accounts with a laptop.
At the back, he was carrying a silver suitcase, put on a heavy coat, and even a number eight with a white scarf...
Lu Xin wanted to ask him, is it hot
No. 14 hugged his stomach and got on the train sullenly, looking tangled.
Little Nineteen got on the train at the end, found a place closer to Lu Xin, and sat on a chair.
The younger sister's backpack seemed to be a little smaller. She put the backpack on the back of the train first, and then climbed into the train through the window.
"Number two, number three, number five, number eight, me, number fourteen, number nineteen... seventeen..."
"Eight..."
Lu Xin was waiting for them. Every time someone came up, he called out a number. When he finally called his sister's "No. 17", he turned on No. 5, who was working hard on the computer. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at him, then looked at him. Looking at the sister in the carriage, his eyes seemed a little strange, but he didn't say anything in the end, he quickly retracted his gaze and continued to count his big business.
In the carriage, everyone else was accustomed to it and didn't feel anything strange.
"Everyone's here..."
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Let's go then, let's meet the old dean..."
…
…
shopping, shopping, eating…
The ghost train moved slowly, and then began to pull up at an alarming rate.
Behind them, the steel suspension bridge of Qinggang and the high wall, countless eyes looked at them from a distance.
There are worries, apprehensions, firmness, and simple blessings.
To the east, the rising sun began to rise into the sky, spilling light on this clean world.
Someone was slightly dizzy and couldn't help thinking: "That's great..."
"Because the night is so long, many people have forgotten what it looks like at dawn..."
"… "
As the train moved forward, Lu Xin and others looked through the car window, and in their minds, this bleak world was reflected.
The third advent, from their point of view, did not pose much threat, but to the world, it was still a real disaster. For more than 30 years, the survivors have The civilization and order that had been painstakingly built on the ruins caused by the moon event had been destroyed by this time, and it was unknown how many living lives had disappeared since then.
But the strange thing is that looking out from the train, there is no confusion and despair when the red moon event occurred.
Lu Xin and the others saw tall machines in operation, clearing up rubble and building houses.
I saw someone diverting water to irrigate and save farmland.
I saw medical staff walking in various temporary gathering points, treating their injuries and diseases and saving their lives.
I also saw a group of officials or spontaneous armed forces at the gathering point, chasing the knights, or building defense facilities.
…
…
This is a destroyed world, but life can be found in it.
Lu Xin, who has read the plan for the third phase of the Heavenly Kingdom Project, understands that this is one of Qinggang's strategies.
Today's dolls actually have enough power to directly kill the knights above these ruins, or order them to take the initiative to defend themselves, or even turn their backs on evil, so that these people will not feel hungry in a short time, which is convenient and convenient. Management can also allow each of them to operate as tensely as a machine, so as to achieve the highest efficiency in a short period of time.
But Qinggang did not do this, preferring to choose a slightly less efficient, but more exciting way.
For the human race, this also seems to be a sense of ritual
With this in mind, the ghost train passed through the southern border of the alliance and the chaotic land in the middle, and finally passed through the mountains and swamps. On the southern line of the chaotic land, it officially crossed and left the place where Qinggang was located. The area of entered the front line of the Church of Science and Technology.
At this moment, Lu Xin turned his head from the train and looked back, and saw the shadow of the doll, standing among the clouds.
Holding an umbrella in his hand, he gently waved it to himself.
"wait me back… "
Standing in the train, Lu Xin said to the doll with his mouth, then turned his head.
The moment he turned his head, his face turned gloomy, he let out a deep breath, and looked forward with a cold look in his eyes.
At the same time, everyone in the carriage raised their heads and looked forward.
Even the ghost train seemed to feel the atmosphere in the carriage, and the sound of moving forward suddenly became heavier.
A depressing and heavy force shrouded everyone's heart.
About to enter the territory of the Church of Science and Technology, and about to see the truth under the veil of the Church of Science and Technology.
Family members who have been separated for a long time are finally reunited at this moment.
And everyone is ready...
…
…
Also at this moment, the core of the Church of Science and Technology, the city of life, in an ordinary dwelling in satellite city No. 11, replaced the old dean who always wore a tunic that was too tight and too serious. Wang Jingyun was moving all the furniture in the room to the side, leaving the largest space in the room, and then propped up a long table that was big enough for everyone to sit on.
"Demon Museum"
Everyone is preparing for this party, and the old dean is also preparing.
He prepared a lot of dishes and even had two bottles of wine.
The table was covered with a tablecloth, and there was a vase filled with bright flowers, and an old photo was placed next to it.
Just placing the last chair in the right place, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled very pleased.
"Go pick it up..."
He tied the apron on his body, smiled and said to Number Seven in the corner, "I want to cook quickly."
"My students, they'll be here soon..."
