Chapter XXVII
Glancing at Chu Ci lightly, Xia Lin had a righteous look on her face, "Swearing is uncivilized behavior and will damage your reputation as a major general of the Federation." β
Chu Ci: "......"
Xia Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry with Chu Ci's attitude, but looked at the instrument in front of Chu Ci again, and made it clear that she would never give up if she didn't get an answer, "As long as this little thing is there, we won't cut off contact with you on the ground, and we can even directly connect to the federal military headquarters?" β
Chu:......
Girl, you know too much, really!
The corners of Charlene's lips curled up slightly in a beautiful arc, but there was a bit of cold light in her eyes. "So, when I was in the dungeon on the other side of the river before, Du Qinglin didn't get separated from you, he just didn't want to take me to find you, and after we obtained the crystal nucleus, the seriously injured Du Qinglin sent a distress signal, so that you could find it so quickly, right?"
Chu Ci's eyes flashed slightly, and the word "crystal nucleus" in Xia Lin's mouth, if he remembered correctly, this word only appeared in the books of the Federal Military that recorded the deeds of the ancestors of the Great Nirvana era.
The supernatural people of that era called the power stone and used the crystal nucleus. Moreover, it is said that the crystal nucleus was almost equivalent to the deposit of hard circulating money at that time.
As long as you are diligent enough and brave enough, whether it is a zombie or an alien beast, or even a lot of alien plants, you can hunt crystal nuclei, and a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ is really the same as the basic nutrients provided by the Federation for free.
It was a time that people can't imagine now.
"Why, don't you dare to answer?" Charlene's face turned cold.
Chu Ci retracted his gaze, "No, in fact, it wasn't just you and Du Qinglin at that time, but a few of us were also separated. After all, we went to the dungeon to find power stones, not just play and explore, and time is precious. β
Although, in fact, even though they had dispersed and tried their best to find it, they couldn't find a second power stone.
Charlene pursed her lips, noncommittal to the other party's move to avoid the topic.
She just needs to know what she wants to know. That's it. "Have you found the river?"
Chu:......
Girlish. It's really good that the topic changes so quickly?
Although he was glad that Charlene didn't ask another sharper thing, Chu Ci was still a little helpless. I thought about it. Chu Ci made up his mind again.
Although it seems that Xia Lin and Du Qinglin can't be married together, as the most calm and unverbal subordinate around him, during this time in the dungeon, it is best for Du Qinglin to be responsible for Xia Lin's safety.
All right. He would never admit that he was afraid of Charlene's leapfrog thinking.
As for why he thought it was impossible for Xia Lin and Du Qinglin to get married, Chu Ci subconsciously avoided the past.
"Not yet. What do you want to do? β
Charlene blinked and looked at Chu Ci with an innocent expression. "What can I do? I was just thinking, we shouldn't be the only ones who are so unlucky to be trapped here, right? β
The people on the other side should go deeper than they do. It's too late to withdraw, right? Even if they are closely connected to Panyu City.
After all, the land on the other side of the bank is very vast, and since those people are plucking the feathers of the geese, the natural engineering is very large. There are a lot of people, and most importantly......
"You said if they knew there were zombies on the other side of the river. What will happen? β
Chu:......
Girl, you have a black belly like this, how good is it?
He remembered that the one he picked up was obviously a little clever little person who swept the snow in front of the door, when did he become a black sesame rice ball?
Is it really a good idea to lose like this?
Although it was not unclear that he had this idea in his heart, but at this time, when Xia Lin put it up harmlessly, the corners of Chu Ci's mouth twitched.
He regretted that he had left this girl to his eldest brother to teach. Isn't this obviously crooked?
Charlene looked back innocently. "And I remember that it's your boss on the other side, everyone is stuck here, don't you really want to report to work?"
Chu:......
"We haven't found the river yet."
In other words, even if they find the dark river, it depends on whether the dark river is suitable for crossing. Otherwise, let's not talk about whether it is useful to look across the river, and whether you can find people on the other side of the river, it is a question.
Looking at Chu Ci with a righteous face in front of him, the smile on Xia Lin's face was even more pure. "We don't know, doesn't mean the zombies don't know, does it?"
Chu:......
"We haven't decided to work with each other yet."
Cooperate with zombies, who knows if it is a tiger skin?
Even if the other party is really sincere, they will definitely not have any contact with Mr. Zombie in private until it is confirmed above.
This is not just a matter of security, but a matter of their Chu family's reputation for thousands of years.
These, there has always been no sense of collective honor, let alone a sense of family honor, which Charlene naturally can't understand. Therefore, for her own thoughts at this time, Charlene really did not feel the slightest discomfort, but felt that it was taken for granted.
"Because of this, shouldn't you report to your superiors and let them decide?" Charlene chased after her, "Anyway, we can't hide the news that we're here now, can we?" β
In this case, everyone is in this one-third of an acre, ah, no, they are all in this vast dungeon, they are not the only ones who are frightened here, but the other side of the river is still harvesting the fruits that originally belonged to them, right?
In particular, the fruits of his own side are expected to be given away in the near future.
Putting aside the calculations in her heart, Charlene said that she was extremely insecure about the situation where they only had three or two people to negotiate with the zombies here. For such a thing as exchanging one's life for the interests of others, he would rather die than do it.
This is very bad, especially if there are people who can share the hardships.
Chu:......
After receiving the news from Chu Ci, Chu Qinglan locked herself in the study alone for a whole night, and the next morning, she still announced the news to the top of the federal military.
Chu Ci is very right, this matter is no longer something that they alone or a family can decide, this is a major matter related to the entire federation and even the entire human race.
Although now because of the discordant existence of some "children who are older and always want to rebel" in the Interstellar Alliance, they are afraid that they will not disclose the existence of zombies to the Interstellar Alliance in the short term, and even if the Interstellar Alliance is revealed, they may not really understand what the existence of zombies represents, but as the actual occupants of the home planet of mankind, as insiders, they cannot ignore the overall situation.
This is really not good news for the Federation, which is already surrounded by two sides.
Aside from the time he received the summoning post personally issued by Old Man Chu Qinglan, the thoughts of everyone in the Nine Great Families aside, Old Man Chu's prestige was still unquestionable.
At least that night, no matter which family or faction, as long as the descendants of the family have not really broken off, they all came, including even the six small families who had been attached to the nine major families since a thousand years ago.
Although many people in the world know that in addition to the nine families that control the Federal Assembly on the surface, there are also nine hidden families who secretly control the military department, but few people know that the real strange people of the Federation are also the six small families that are most closely related to the nine hidden families.
These fifteen families are the real backbone of the Federation.
Chu Qinglan's gaze wandered over everyone's faces, and his gaze lingered on Qiao Jinghan's face for a short time, and then turned away.
The matter of the Qiao family, he heard something from his grandson, but the fifteen families have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, even the six small families that have always had few heirs and very few talented children have also experienced countless ups and downs and changes. Something like the Qiao family is not even a storm.
At most, it's just a small fight.
After all, although the Federation has repeatedly emphasized that the supernatural ones are now in a very dangerous situation because the genetics are not as good as the generation, and before the era of Great Nirvana, the ancestors who squeezed the earth's resources regardless of the ancient records are facing the crisis of running out of oil and lamps, but there are also people who don't mind killing chickens and taking eggs.
After all, not everyone pays attention to whether the family has a long history of inheritance, especially when he is still facing the crisis of whether he can get the position of head of the family.
If the ultimate beneficiary cannot be himself and his descendants, then what does it matter to them whether it is good or bad?
For such a situation, of course, it is impossible for people from other families to be ignorant, but these small storms, if Qiao Jinghan can't resist them, then inheriting and developing the Qiao family is just a joke.
Therefore, after Qiao Jinghan returned to Mingyang City, although the Chu family gave him some help, it was not much. More than that, it's just an attitude.
Fortunately, at this time, Qiao Jinghan did not disappoint him.
Or, it would be a good thing to let the children of the family go to the families below that don't look big, but there are not a lot of dirty and filthy things to experience.
As if thinking of something, Chu Qinglan's mind moved, and she kept this thought in her heart.
The cultivation of the descendants of the nine major families is something that all the elders of the family attach great importance to, regardless of you and me.
"At present, this is the situation that has been fed back from that dungeon, and as for whether to further contact those zombies, and how to deal with the conditions proposed by the other party, we still need to discuss and decide."
While pondering, Chu Dian had finished the report, and then handed over the leading power in his hand to Chu Qinglan.
Chu Qinglan glanced up at Huang Fuqi beside him, and then at an old man who looked thin next to Huang Fuqi, and saw that there was no abnormality on the faces of the two before retracting his gaze. (To be continued) R655
