In the end, Xia Lin naturally didn't say that she had a lot of crystal nuclei, but after hesitating for a long time, she still handed over the crystal nucleus that had been put away by her and searched out of the secret room of the research institute to Chu Ci.

It was useless for him to hold this thing, and since he had made up his mind, he didn't want to hesitate any longer.

It's just that seeing that this piece is extra, the energy stone that he has been looking for for a long time but without success is actually in Xia Lin's hand, Chu Ci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Where are you from?"

He remembered that at that time, his people not only extorted confessions from the group of so-called researchers, but also conducted a carpet search of the research center, but they never found the power stone.

If it weren't for the accurate information he got from Yu Yang, who convinced him that this power stone had not been taken away by the Yu family or the other two families, he would almost have thought that this power stone was no longer there.

"Ah...... This one...... Ah......" Charlene's eyes flickered, "Well, didn't you ask me to collect information...... I'm next door to the reference room...... Picked up. ”

"Picked up?" Chu Ci looked at Charlene with a smile, how could he not know that such a thing as a power stone could also be picked up casually?

Xia Lin sneered, and finally simply twisted her head, no longer looking at Chu Ci, "Do you want it or not?" Give it back to me if you don't want it! ”

Although this crystal nucleus is of little use to her, she will not take up space!

"Why not?" Chu Ci neatly put away the box containing the two crystal nuclei, "Is there anything else?" ”

Charlene:......

You think it's cabbage on the street, bastard! Even if it's cabbage, it's very expensive and rare nowadays.

Seeing Xia Lin's slightly distorted expression, Chu Ci's eyes were full of smiles.

He recently discovered a new fun, it turns out that it is a very interesting thing to tease the little woman in front of him when he is fine, no wonder his idle eldest brother likes to make the people around him so much when he is fine.

Thinking of his eldest brother's personality and hobbies, Chu Ci's eyes deepened.

Although it is stated that he is the next heir of the Chu family, in fact, his own family members who know his situation know that he is the one who is carefully protected by his family as a fragile item.

And his eldest brother, who has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and still looks weak, paid a price unimaginable to ordinary people in order to protect his younger brother, who has been strong but fragile since he was a child.

This is why both brothers can become the top young talents in the federal military, but the relationship between the two brothers is more harmonious than anyone expected.

They are brothers, and they work hard and struggle for each other to be able to live better and lead the family better.

Family fighting or something, don't make trouble, get busy!

Speaking of which, with Charlene's character, I don't know what the situation would be if I met my eldest brother? Thinking of Charlene's idea of wanting to leave all the time, Chu Ci made a decision in his heart.

As expected, when everyone came out, they were told that this dungeon had been officially taken over by the federal army. And in view of the size of this dungeon and the level of the things it produces, the person who took over this dungeon was directly Chu Ci's superior, one of the only four remaining generals of the Federation, General Mu.

Among the people who accepted General Mu's reception, Charlene naturally did not have this qualification, after all, she was just a small civilian, not even the lowest soldier. Even if it weren't for Chu Ci, she wouldn't even have the privilege to enter a place like the dungeon, which is a high-level secret of the Federation.

If she wasn't killed directly, she should be glad that she was famous.

Therefore, as soon as she left the entrance of the cave, Xia Lin had already left there as soon as possible under Chu Ci's arrangement, and was placed by Lan Zhiyuan in a secret stronghold outside Panyu City.

After all, Chu Ci is the home field here, and the identity of the Chu family is not simple, so for Chu Ci coming out of the dungeon with a civilian, the Mu General actually turned a blind eye to it.

Otherwise, in this dungeon that had been completely taken over by General Mu's men, Charlene really thought that she could leave easily?

So although Charlene is leaving, she has been repeatedly told to keep a low profile, a low profile, and a low profile. At least, don't hit the muzzle of the gun, otherwise even Chu Ci won't be able to save her.

However, probably even Chu Ci, who can be said to know Xia Lin best, did not expect that Xia Lin would take advantage of the fact that when Chu Ci and the others went to report the results of their exploration of the underground to General Mu, they had quietly slipped out of everyone's hidden stronghold and returned to Panyu City.

She left in a hurry that day, but there were still some things to be done.

Moreover, for the real brother of the original owner, she didn't even see it. Even if you don't necessarily have the opportunity to see it in the future, at least there should be an indication that you shouldn't be able to?

Otherwise, if the other party comes back and goes to find her sister, what should she do?

The most important thing is that if the other party has a misunderstanding or even dissatisfaction with her because she has disconnected from the Xia family, wouldn't she be bad?

Anyway, the other party is also an officer now, even if the military rank is not high, it is impossible to compare with the children of officers like Chu Ci who are born in a family and have a strong background, but for ordinary people like her, it is still somewhat useful.

Maybe there will be a time when you need help in the future?

Even if she doesn't, she is the only relative in this world who is good to her, and she still has some worries.

Of course, the premise is that the other party is really good to her.

If the other party is the same as the head of the Xia family, then she will be grateful.

Sacrificing herself for the sake of the continuation of the family, or even sacrificing a large group of people in the family, she thinks that although she is not a member of the Holy Mother, she really can't do it.

She may not care about the lives of people other than herself, but at least, she will never kill people for money. Even, even the other party's death because of himself is a little unable to stand by.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be stupid enough to take risks for Du Qinglin.

That's right, it's stupid.

After everyone converged, Du Qinglin's injuries were controlled, and Xia Lin's excited and nervous feelings were naturally gradually controlled.

When Charlene, who calmed down, thought back to what she had done, she could only describe it in disbelief.

Tut! Why didn't she know when she was so conscientious?! She always thought that her conscience had been eaten by zombies!

While shaking her head and sighing, Charlene silently got off the hovercar and walked towards the city.

I don't know if it was due to the fact that Yu Jia and others built a private research institute outside Panyu City, which eventually attracted the involvement and blow of the federal army, the entire Panyu City showed a bit of depression compared to the scene when Xia Lin first came to this world.

Even the once bustling bars and the trading markets where hunters mingled seemed to have been curtailed by the large number of troops stationed outside the city.

The relationship between the hunters and the Orthodox army of the Federation is not absolutely antagonistic, but it is clearly not harmonious. This was not the only city that had to pass between the jungle and the city, and Panyu City itself was not rich enough, so those hunters naturally heard the news, and most of them went directly to other cities.

As for whether it will turn back in the short term, who knows?

Anyway, most of them are from all over the world, except for a few people whose home is in Panyu City, the rest of the people don't have to come here.

It's just that it is obvious that the departure of a large number of free hunters has also dealt a great blow to the economy and prosperity of this small city, which is not very prosperous in the first place, and it will be difficult to fully recover at least in the short term. And the locals of Panyu City, who lack a regular source of income, also have to tighten their pockets and reduce expenses.

As a result, the already cold city streets have become more sparsely populated.

Without the hustle and bustle of the past, it is already a gradually warmer day, but it is still a little cool everywhere.

Charlene hurriedly walked through the street, but she didn't see a few figures along the way, not even the storefronts on both sides of the road, which were originally in charge of real people, and they had been replaced by people.

For a while, it made Charlene feel like she had crossed again.

After all, although the streets of Panyu City were not lively in the past, they definitely had nothing to do with the depression.

Xia Lin did not go directly to Xia's house, but went to Hao Lian's house first.

After all, Hao Lian Yuanmao was also taken away by the federal military in front of him, and he still has an indirect or even very direct relationship with her. So no matter what, it is necessary for her to come to see Hao Lian Yuanfeng.

Whether it's an apology or a thanks, Charlene doesn't think she's a hypocrite, but at least the peace of this world allows her to gradually regain her peace...... and the most basic courtesy of being a human being.

If she couldn't do that, Charlene herself would despise herself. She's not a primitive who drinks blood!

Hearing that Charlene was visiting, Hao Lianyuanfeng, who was originally dealing with some things in the family in the study, was slightly surprised, but then suddenly smiled.

He didn't expect that the sixth lady of the Xia family was really an unexpectedly responsible person, didn't she think about coming to the door like this, if she was resentful that because of her, she had to be separated from her only brother, would she be troubled?

After all, this is Panyu City, even if she has the relationship of Major General Chu Ci behind her, he can't do anything with her, but no one dares to say anything if she makes things difficult for her. After all, no matter what Charlene says, she can be regarded as a door-to-door plea.

Of course, Hao Lian Yuanfeng just thought about it like this. R1152
