Xu Ran did not agree to Huo Sifar's request.

What is too easy to get will not be cherished.

For example, the purple light patch he provided to the Huo family last time, even if the Huo family used it, it did not play the slightest role, and it was almost useless to do their second exploration.

Moreover, through that cooperation, Xu Ran found that his gains were not big, and those who wanted to obtain it but couldn't get it because the other party was too obtrusive, resulting in a waste of his time.

So Xu Ran understood a truth, that is, instead of cooperating with the other party, it is better to do it alone, and it is more dangerous and confidential.

As for Huo Sifal's idea, it would be too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, the commercial cooperation between the Huo family and Xu Ran is not too much contact now, and as for the antique exploration, Xu Ran is even more reluctant to be too deep with the Huo family.

Huo Sifar thought that the value of holding Shui Ruyi in her hand would be very high to Xu Ran, so she could have her own bargaining chips with Shui Ruyi in her hand.

However, Huo Sifar didn't know that although Xu Ran was interested in Shui Ruyi, who could have a teleportation function, he had a stronger killer weapon in his hand, that is, Xu Ran had a fragmented city and fixed-point teleportation.

At least he has already made arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region, except for European and American countries that have not yet established teleportation points for the time being.

Therefore, Xu Ran was not eager to get the water Ruyi.

Even, the demand for collecting the True Ding Sacred Weapon was even higher than that of Shui Ruyi.

Now Xu Ran has obtained the news of Yu Zhenmu and Shen Zhiqi, but Xu Ran did not act rashly, he felt that there might be some kind of trap inside, so he waited for the person who wanted to make up his mind to fall inside.

But.

The whereabouts of Shen Zhiqi were obtained from the side of Huo Sifar, and the news actually said that the thing was in the tomb of Emperor Yuan.

This made Xu Ran feel a little strange, he estimated that it was just the Huo family's speculation, they couldn't be sure whether the Shen Zhiqi was in the tomb of Emperor Yuan, this should just be a message that Huo Si Faer took out to fool him when he talked about the conditions, and even used this information to test what kind of reaction Xu Ran had after hearing Shen Zhiqi's whereabouts.

Xu Ran has never been easy, how high the discipline of the children of the descendants of the Zhending family will be in terms of obtaining information about the inheritance of the Zhending culture.

Because he already had the news of Shen Zhiqi's whereabouts in his heart, it was impossible for him to appear in the tomb of Emperor Yuan, so Huo Si Fal was all out of speculation and theoretical news, and it was not enough to believe it.

Even if Xu Ran knew the news of Yu Zhenmu, he didn't do anything, and he didn't show any traces, he knew that someone was fishing for that news, not to mention Shen Zhiqi.

So this conversation ended when Visser was very unhappy.

Xu Ran didn't care what Huo Sifar would think, after he left the Panda Pavilion, he flew back to Xia Cheng directly that night.

……

The days that followed were very uneventful.

Since the annual meeting and the arrival of the new year, the business divisions of each company under the Goran Group have been developing in an orderly manner.

In particular, the research and development progress of chips is the fastest, and it will soon be able to enter the stage of mass production, whether it can withstand the test of the market, it depends on whether the chip company under the leadership of Gu Tingyu as the president can start the first shot of this new year.

Xu Ran hasn't been anywhere in the past few days.

He'd been waiting for news from the desert side after he had dealt with some of the company's backlog.

He didn't believe that if the robot was interfered with and affected the signal connection, as long as someone in Ye Wudao's expedition came out alive, the news would definitely be brought out.

At the same time, Xu Ran is also making some preliminary arrangements and preparations for entering the fragmented city this time.

Why do you need to make upfront arrangements and preparations?

That's because Xu Ran entered the fragmented city this time, and he might stay in the fragmented city for a while, so he naturally wanted to arrange the affairs of this side of the earth in advance and come back before the Spring Festival.

It's just that I waited for four days.

After arranging things on this side of the earth, he was about to enter the fragmented city, but suddenly received a message from the desert.

And the news received this time disrupted Xu Ran's plan a little.

……

At half past seven in the evening, it was already pitch black outside.

Xu Ran sat quietly in the underground secret room of the manor. Sitting on the swivel chair, Xu Ran tapped his fingers on the table in contemplation.

He downloaded all the data and images transmitted by the artificial intelligence management center here through the satellite.

This time the robot connected the signal in a somewhat strange way.

The place where the satellite monitoring signal can be connected is not in the Tara Desert region, where the clues of the robots and the expedition team eventually disappeared.

The geographic information transmitted back by the robot was located in a place called Shahe Mound in the southwest of the Dos Prairie, thousands of kilometers away from the Tara Desert, but it was not far from Xia Province, only a few hundred kilometers.

Xu Ran opened the packaged and downloaded materials first, and the first thing to check was why the robot ran to such a place in the southwest of the Dos Prairie.

However, the video footage from the robot at that location is very brief, indicating that there may be no energy supply.

Xu Ran clicked on the video that was sent at the latest time for observation.

After seeing that the robot appeared in such a place as Shaheqiu, he found that it was connected to the satellite terminal monitoring, and then began to upload the recorded data as soon as possible.

In the process of uploading the progress of the data, the energy of the robot obviously began to be insufficient, and the mechanism set by the robot was to report his positioning immediately as soon as possible, so Xu Ran could receive clues from the robot.

Xu Ran opened the video, which had only been taken for a few seconds, and saw that the surrounding area was a desolate hilly area, with those dry weeds and wild vines scattered everywhere, and there was no end in sight in the distance.

However, in terms of the geographical location and topography, it is located in a hilly area of the grassland, and the environment is the same everywhere, and it is winter, and it is all dead grass and desolation, and the dry poplar trees, if ordinary people go to that place, they may get lost.

But the robot positioned itself in that place and gave the reference coordinates.

In addition, Xu Ran's main observation was that when the robot filmed such a scene, he found that there was no member of the expedition team around the robot at all, as if only a lone robot was thrown there.

So where did the others go, and why did only one robot run out of the desert and appear thousands of kilometers away in the prairie after disappearing for several days?

That's all the robot emitted, and then the connection signal to the satellite terminal was interrupted, and no other signal came.

After Xu Ran watched the information of this video content, he wrote down the geographic information and coordinates of the robot's positioning.

Subsequently, Xu Ran passed Luo Jiuwa from the security room in the control center: "Jiuwa, prepare the plane, inform Zhang Ding and Sun Guangwu, accompany me to go out!"

"Yes!"

After Luo Jiuwa got the order, she hung up the internal communication.

Xu Ran walked out of the secret room, went to the room to change into a set of smart clothes, and at the same time went to the storage room to get a combat backpack and then went out.

After coming to the hangar, Luo Jiuwa had already prepared the plane.

However, Zhang Ding and the others looked a little puzzled after seeing that Xu Ran was dressed as preparing to go out into the wild.

But their job is not to ask any questions, and to strictly follow the boss's orders.

But Zhang Ding and Sun Guangwu were not ambiguous, they saw that the boss was dressed like this for an adventure in the wild, they immediately changed into tactical clothes in the fastest time, and then went to take off their combat backpacks, and took the lead in getting on the plane very quickly.

Xu Ran went to investigate a robot and came over, and after taking the robot on the plane, Luo Jiuwa drove the plane into the air.

Xu Ran handed over the location and coordinates of the geographic information to Luo Jiuwa, and let Luo Jiuwa input it into the navigation, and after determining the flight route through the navigation, the plane disappeared into the night sky.

The positioning information sent by the robot was only two hundred and seventy kilometers away from Xia Cheng.

At the speed of the modified aircraft, the distance of 300 kilometers is only less than a time.

About forty-five minutes later, Luo Jiuwa slowed down her speed and came to the area where the coordinates on the navigation were located.

Swish!

Xu Ran asked Luo Jiuwa to turn on the headlights on the plane.

Then it began to fly slowly near the surface around there.

Woo!

I didn't expect that there would be wolves in this place, and when the headlights of the plane were turned on to shine on some wolves, the luster reflected in the green eyes of the steppe wolf made people's hearts a little hairy.

However, the people were all on the plane, and the plane did not land, and the wolves did not dare to stay in place for a long time after the plane turned on the lights, so they retreated one after another.

"Here we are, here it is!"

After the wolves were driven away, Luo Jiuwa flew to the specified distance according to the coordinate position.

Zhang Ding said for the first time: "Boss, there are trees blocking below and I can't determine the target, I'd better go down and check it first, right?"

"No!"

Xu Ran shook his head, if he didn't find the wolves, maybe Xu Ran would let Zhang Ding go down to check the situation of the robot.

But now that we have found out that there are wolves here, then this is no joke, because it is winter and it is not over, and these wolves are hungry.

Once Zhang Ding goes down, those ferocious and cunning wolves will launch a group attack when they smell the smell and can't say anything, and in the case that they don't have guns and weapons, it will be a big trouble to face this group of wolves.

Besides, when he came, Xu Ran deliberately brought a robot over, and it would be unwise to have such a help not to use it and let people take risks.

So, the ladder under the plane was lowered.

At a height of five meters close to the ground, Xu Ran ordered the robot to slowly descend from the ladder along the pattern.

After the robot went down, Xu Ran immediately turned on the monitoring and followed the robot's perspective to start tracking.

The coordinates here are very accurate, and after the robot went down, it only walked a distance of five meters, and found a robot under a few poplar trees there that blocked the view.

Xu Ran glanced at the robot, which was one of the five robots that Xu Ran sponsored to him when Ye Wudao left.

It's just that the robot now looks extremely embarrassed, with multiple injuries on its body, and some of its panels seem to have been corroded by something corrosive.

In addition, there were two wolf carcasses next to the robot.

The robot measured the wolf's body and could determine that the two wolves had only recently died, and that they might have been poisoned after touching something on the robot.

Now that he has found the robot that ran here for some reason, but with those two wolf corpses in front of him, Xu Ran did not dare to be careless, and he didn't know what the robot had experienced in the desert, and it would actually poison the two wolves to death.

"Put the vacuum bag!"

After Xu Ran gave the order, Zhang Ding and Sun Guangwu threw down the two vacuum bags that had already been prepared on the plane.

The vacuum bag was like a sleeping bag, and after throwing it down, the robot would return and pick it up, and then walk up to the depleted and badly damaged robot, and directly use the vacuum bag to put the robot into the bag.

In addition, the two poisoned wolves Xu Ran did not let go, and also let the robot put the two wolf corpses into a vacuum, and then after entering the vacuum, he carried the robot and the wolf corpse towards the plane.

Woo!

Suddenly, at this moment, a wolf roar came from nearby.

Xu Ran couldn't help frowning after hearing the sound of the wolf's roar, it seemed to be the voice of a wolf, I'm afraid those wolves didn't seem to want to let them go.

He looked out of the window and saw that there were at least dozens or hundreds of pairs of green eyes around him, staring at this place with a murderous luster, ready to attack at any moment.

Card!

At this time, Zhang Ding closed the door of the cabin for the first time, and then said: "Boss, these steppe wolves are very jumpy, and their aggression is also very fierce, in such a season, these wolves are in a state of hunger, very ferocious, any living creature will be their target for hunting, so for the sake of safety, we need to properly raise the height of the fuselage, so as not to be besiege......d by those wolves."

"But will these wolves attack the robots?"

Zhang Ding said: "Probably not, the robot does not have the breath of a living thing, only the heat emitted, but those two wolf corpses may become the target of the wolves, and they may also launch a suicidal attack on us......"

Woo!

However, before Zhang Ding's words fell, suddenly the first wolf let out a cry, and then seven or eight wolves took the lead in pounce.

Of course, they didn't attack the helicopter, after all, such a behemoth could still deter the wolves from daring to take the lead in besieging them, and the target of the wolves' sniping was actually the robot that went to detect and return.

Zhang Ding's words paused instantly. If you want to talk about "Fragmented City" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
