Chapter 867: Someone Behind It
The corners of Xiao Dong's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said angrily: "You treat me as a toy, you can copy it if you want to, so what else do you want me to do?" ”
Smith smiled: "It's not all about the overall situation, it's always a bit of a sacrifice to engage in research." Besides, we copy it just for the sake www.biquge.info of experimentation, and it won't replace you, what are you anxious about? ”
"I'm thinking, if you copied something and fused it with other high-tech, wouldn't it be better than me?" Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said, "Then when the time comes, I will be more aggrieved." ”
"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a tool, can it be compared to the living one?" Smith laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is all yours, and you have the right to dispose of it." Besides, if our experiment is successful, then you will have a group of brave warriors, think about it, as long as you give an order, countless Xiao Dong will fight for you, you just need to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. ”
Xiao Dong touched his chin and said, "It seems to be a little interesting, just like the Iron Man in your rice movies." ”
"Hahaha, that's much more powerful than Iron Man." Smith laughed and said, "By the way, there's one more thing I need to ask you. ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Dong asked.
"It's about getting in touch with the gods and making us have a close cooperation. After all, it is not enough for a country to have only gods, and thousands of our ordinary people need to be protected. If we can keep in close contact, then the security situation in our country will be much more optimistic. If there is any disaster in the future, it can also be defended in time. ”
"That's a problem." Xiao Dong nodded, so he took Smith to Sky City.
The people of Sky City have prepared the ceremony, and although the freezing point does not exist, it lives in everyone's hearts. The light of the stars and lanterns shrouded in a crystal coffin, the gods wandered in the sky, walked around the main hall, and under the leadership of Xiao Dong, issued the most sincere condolences, in order to commemorate the death of the ice gods of the first generation of Sky City.
The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone was sad about the departure of Freezing Point.
It was a cold-looking, but warm-hearted girl.
But because of this accident, he lost his life forever.
"Rest in peace, Freezing Point, we have avenged you, and we will always remember you."
"You are always there, with us."
"Freezing, go all the way ......." Lu Yin and the others said with sad faces.
Xiao Dong and Lomeka glanced at each other, and each saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
Freezing point thing, unconscious a tragedy. Xiao Dong was even a little annoyed, if he could have come earlier, would he have been able to avoid this accident. Freezing Point was persecuted, but before he died, he was so humiliated.
This is not only the sorrow of Freezing Point, but also the sorrow of the gods of Sky City.
Xiao Dong took a deep breath and said: "The death of Freezing Point has given us a hammer, I hope that today's day, everyone can remember that at any time, unity is the most important, and it cannot be caused by other reasons, which leads to internal division, this is the most terrible and the most invisible weapon." ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
After a moment of silence, the freezing crystal coffin was put into the crescent moon lake and stored forever.
Subsequently, Xiao Dong introduced Smith to everyone.
Smith quickly explained his intentions, and with Xiao Dong's facilitation, the two sides talked very harmoniously. The gods also realized that it was time to put aside their pride and cooperate with Smith. Sometimes, the stronger you are, the weaker you are.
Things in Sky City have stabilized, Xiao Dong doesn't plan to stay longer, he is still in a hurry to find medicinal herbs and let his eldest brother regain consciousness as soon as possible.
Lomeka's face was full of reluctance, and she said with attachment: "Shura, are you going to leave so soon?" I thought you'd stay forever. ”
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and when the overall situation is stable, I believe that we can always be together." Xiao Dong comforted softly, "During this time, you have suffered. ”
Lomeca shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I can't bear you." Why don't you let me go with you? ”
"Why, you don't want to stay in Sky City anymore?" Xiao Dong asked, "Is it the previous torture that made you have a psychological shadow on the gods?" ”
"Not really." Lomeca glanced at him and said, "They've always been nice to me, and if it weren't for the impostor's being too realistic, people wouldn't have misunderstood." I believe that they are all a group of kind people, but, I'm worried about you. You're still a wanted person out there, you're in danger at any moment, and I'm scared ....... ”
"I'm not a three-year-old, so it's so easy to get into trouble." Xiao Dong interrupted Lomeca's words and said, "Besides, with my current strength, it's not so easy to hurt me, don't worry too much, stay in Sky City." I'll come back to see you when I'm done. Sky City still needs you, and Smith. ”
"Okay, then you should be careful along the way." Lomeka broke away from Xiao Dong's arms with resentment, and also knew what Xiao Dong meant. After all, Smith is not very familiar with the gods, and if they are allowed to negotiate on their own, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns in the middle. And Lomeca and Smith are old friends and one of the gods, and with her in the middle, things will be much smoother.
Xiao Dong nodded, greeted the gods and Smith, and then turned into a streamer and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xiao Dong has asked Smith for a specific geographical location in the past few days, because the Tiger King said that Rehmannia will only grow in extremely hot desert environments, so the range is well determined.
He was the first to target the Sahara Desert, the largest in the world.
The desert there is the most extensive area, and the environment is also the most harsh, spanning many countries, and many strange and magical things are related to that desert. Xiao Dong has an intuition that there will definitely be a harvest there.
Along the way, Xiao Dongdu flew as fast as he could, and at the same time, the figure of the impostor could not help but appear in his mind.
He always wondered, what was the purpose of the person behind him who copied himself?
If you want to build a machine, why not study other things, but study yourself?
Thinking about it this way, the person behind it is likely to have something to do with himself.
Or, rather, an enemy of oneself.
Xiao Dong has many friends, and similarly, he has many enemies. It was really difficult for him to find the person behind him among so many people.
If this matter is not resolved for a day, he feels as if there is a thorn in his heart, and it is uncomfortable.
However, Huaxuan and they are already in full swing research, and I believe that it will not take long to achieve results.
If the person behind him continues to play ghosts, he will definitely show clues, and when the time comes, Xiao Dong must track it down to the end and see who it is!
Thinking about it, unconsciously, the environment in the field of vision has changed.
Along the way, the population gradually thinned out, and the green vegetation was replaced by yellow sand.
Obviously, it's close to the edge of the desert.
Looking at the endless desert, the yellow wind was rolling, blowing up countless sinks, as if to bury everything. On the edge of the desert, there is a scattered village, most of which are dilapidated adobe houses, and every household is covered with a layer of sand because of the environmental problems here.
You can imagine how hard it is to live here.
Xiao Dong couldn't help but sigh that the power of nature is the most terrifying.
He found a remote corner, and then turned into the village, intending to ask the inhabitants about the rehmannia essence.
As locals, the closest to this desert, they should know a lot.
For Xiao Dong, an outsider tourist, the people in the village didn't seem to be very curious, but still looked accustomed to it.
"Uncle, I want to ask you something." Xiao Dong found a middle-aged and elderly man sitting at the door, smoking a dry cigarette, and asked.
The man was wrapped in a linen-colored robe, with a hat wrapped around his head, and his face looked very rough, and there was a lot of chapped skin at the corners of his mouth. And I have to face the wind and sand that blows from time to time, so I will dress up this way.
The other party took a few puffs of cigarette, glanced at Xiao Dong, looked ignorant, waved his hand and said, "What does the young man want to ask?" ”
"It is a kind of medicinal herb, and the name is Rehmannia Essence." Xiao Dong hurriedly said.
"Rehmannia Essence?" The man frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know." ”
"Think about it again......." Xiao Dong couldn't help but ask.
"I can't remember, my head hurts. Hey, living in this kind of place, I have suffered all my life, and recently it is the season of sandstorms, and I am afraid that I will be hungry again. I can't afford to eat, and I'm not in the mood to answer your questions, so you might as well go find someone else. The man looked impatient and turned to Xiao Dong, obviously not wanting to deal with him.
Xiao Dong immediately realized that this posture was for benefits.
So he dug it out of his trouser pocket, but fortunately there were still a few red heads, so he handed them over and said, "Uncle, I only have a lot of them." ”
When the man saw the money, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled it over, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, the young man is really kind-hearted, God will bless you." It's a little good, you don't have to worry about eating. ”
Although it is only a few hundred dollars, it is a lot of money for people in slums.
Xiao Dong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly: "Can you answer my question?" ”
"I've never heard of such a thing as rehmannia essence." The man said solemnly.
The corners of Xiao Dong's mouth twitched, and he was about to get the money back, and said angrily: "I don't know if you still collect money, it's immoral!" ”
"Eh, don't, you didn't tell me the situation in detail, how do I know?" The man hurriedly avoided it, tightened a few bills, and said, "The rehmannia essence you said may be another name for us, you describe it, maybe I can know." ”
Xiao Dong didn't know much about Rehmannia Essence, but he had also heard the Tiger King say that it was a rhizome plant, and the yellow sand of the desert was the same color, a bit like ginseng, so if he described it simply.
The man pondered for a while and said, "Could it be desert ginseng?" ”
"I'm just talking like ginseng, not really looking for ginseng!" Xiao Dong said angrily.
He felt that this person was an old fritter, and he was just fooling people.
The man immediately said, "Don't worry, I don't know, but others may know, I'll help you ask and make sure I can give you the answer." ”
