The room was silent, and the only sounds in Chen Pi's ears were the rapid breathing of Xu Nannan and the rustle of sand and dust hitting the glass outside the window.

"Senior, are you going to sit idly by?" After a long time, Zhao Youcheng mustered up the courage to ask.

"Standing by and watching?" Chen Pi couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed dumbly, "How is this possible, why do you think so?" ”

"Isn't that what the seniors meant?" Zhao Youcheng's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"It seems that you still don't really understand." Chen Pi turned around and sat back on the sofa, frowned and thought for a while, "I mean to tell you, don't think about saving humans, humans don't need to save, and the demon clan will not take the form of genocide." But don't be accused of evil and bloodthirsty to scandalize the other party, there must be a cause for the effect, all the tragic consequences today are caused by man's own excesses of persecuting other living beings, what I have to do is to conform to nature. ”

"Go with nature?" Zhao Youcheng repeated in confusion.

Looking at Zhao Youcheng's confused look, Chen Pi couldn't help laughing: "This is a world where the weak eat the strong, since I have a certain strength, I can make certain requirements." As long as I think it's worth it, I will also take action for a child, if I think it's not worth it, it has nothing to do with me to die 100 million people, the destiny of heaven requires balance, how can I act against the sky. ”

If you look at it from another point of view, this time the demon clan is in turmoil, which can really make human beings realize that they are not the masters of the world, and from then on, they will change their minds and coexist peacefully with other creatures in the world, Chen Pi thinks it is also a good thing.

"But, Brother Chen Pi, if you save the human race, you will become a great hero through the ages." Xu Xiaohui said seriously.

"Heroes? It is nothing more than a tool that humans put on the altar to shield people's ears and eyes, a tool to defend against the enemy, and those in power will distort the hero's mind and transform it into a dogma conducive to domination. Xiaohui, you don't want me to end up like that, do you? Chen Pi chuckled, "Forget it, you won't be able to understand these things to you, but when you grow up, you will understand." ”

Chen Pi looked at his watch: "It's not too early, everyone hasn't prepared yet, the visibility outside is very low, I'm afraid the speed will be very slow, we have to set off some time in advance." After Chen Pi said this, everyone left the room full of thoughts and thoughts.

After several hours of raging storms, the originally bustling and noisy urban area of Sichuan and Chongqing became sparsely populated and dusty. The howling wind has weakened a lot, and the visibility has improved slightly, but even so, with the eye of tangerine peel, it is only possible to see within 100 meters. In the past, there were few cars on the busy roads, and it was often only five or six minutes before you saw one.

The bleak sight of the bleak streets of Sichuan and Chongqing, where only restaurants were closed and closed with their doors closed, was hard to believe that just a few hours ago there were sweaty and countless pedestrians on the streets of Sichuan and Chongqing. Trees on both sides of the street were crooked, and Chen Pi even saw three large billboards that had collapsed, beneath the horrific wreckage of cars.

But Chen Pi and his party were still moving very slowly, even if the driver turned on the headlights, he could only see dozens of meters in front of him, and the extremely poor vision made him cautious, like walking on thin ice. There are even fewer pedestrians on the street, walking on the street, they are all in the same position, squinting, bowing their heads, and moving with difficulty. After the baptism of the storm, the people were covered with dust and a mouthful of sand, and they looked very embarrassed.

"After every storm, it leaves tons of dust in Sichuan and Chongqing, as well as hundreds of millions of huge losses." Xu Nannan sighed faintly, withdrew her gaze from the window, and casually closed the curtains on the car window.

"So much?" Zhao Youcheng exclaimed dumbfounded.

"Don't be surprised, it's normal." Looking out the window, Chen Pi said lightly, "I remember that there was a data from previous years in the historical data, a huge storm that year, with a total area of about 90 million square kilometers. According to statistics at that time, more than 800 people were killed, more than 3,000 were missing, tens of thousands of people were injured, nearly one million large and small livestock were killed or lost, millions of hectares of farmland and fruit forests were affected, thousands of greenhouses were destroyed, and the infrastructure, power supply lines, roads, and railways of pastures, pastures, and salt farms were seriously damaged. The direct losses amounted to an unprecedented 90 billion yuan. As for the serious urban air pollution caused by this, it directly affects people's health. ”

"The world's direct losses due to storms are more than $800 billion every year, and from another perspective, it can be said that every storm burns money, and it is a huge amount of money." Chen Pi leaned back on the comfortable chair, took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, and took two sips casually.

In the casual chatter of everyone, the convoy has driven into a gray commercial street, in this prime area, department stores, halls and stores are lined up. The huge window and billboard design is novel, showing the latest fashion representing the trend of Sichuan and Chongqing, noble and elegant splendid clothes, gold and silver jewelry, high-end ornaments and ingenious handicrafts, full of noble and gorgeous prosperous atmosphere.

In the past, at night, Yangquan Mansion will present a prosperous scene, with colorful neon advertisements and endless traffic and people, making Yangquan Mansion brilliant and dreamlike. However, tonight, the most prosperous business district in Sichuan and Chongqing has lost its usual style, leaving only the dust and sand in the sky and the sound of the wind whistling by.

At the entrance to the building, a temporary carport was erected to prevent the dust from staining the costumes of the guests attending the charity dinner.

Surrounded by more than a dozen black-clothed bodyguards, the five of them came to the banquet hall on the second floor. At this time, the banquet hall was already crowded, hundreds of guests were divided into large and small groups in the banquet hall, and there were beautiful maids shuttling among them, serving wine to each guest.

Xu Nannan's seats were arranged in the front row, and the two women dressed up were like two blooming flowers, attracting the attention of everyone present. Since Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaohui took their seats, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to greet and talk, of course, the most are many young talents who come to visit.

Looking at the two girls who were easily circling among the guests, Zhao Youcheng whispered in Chen Pi's ear: "They are really good, they can deal with this kind of big scene easily, if it were me, I am afraid that they would have fled in the wilderness a long time ago." ”

Chen Pi couldn't help but smile dumbly: "If you also grew up in this kind of family, you will understand that this kind of interpersonal skills are as common for them as eating and drinking every day." Well, don't sit here, go to their side, and always keep an eye on the safety of both of them. ”

"I'm just following to see, don't push this kind of errand on my head." Zhao Youcheng's head shook like a rattle.

"Okay, how about you walk around the banquet hall and see if there are any suspicious people?" Chen Pi smiled and said, "Don't fool me, if you dare to be lazy, I'll send you away." ”

Zhao Youcheng's eyes rolled twice, and he said with a smile: "Senior, I am too handsome, and it is easy to attract attention, so let's change it." ”

"Slippery head." Chen Pi scolded with a smile, "You and Ren Feiyu are careful about the two of them, and I'll walk around." ”

With that, Chen Pi picked up a glass of wine and blended into the crowd.

The banquet hall was full of people, and Chen Pi carefully observed the guests in the banquet hall while drinking wine casually. Although he didn't know much about these rich people in Sichuan and Chongqing, and didn't know much, his outstanding hearing allowed him to hear even the whispered conversation between the two. It seems that the scale of this charity dinner is quite considerable, and even several famous consortia and multinational companies in Sichuan and Chongqing have attended.

Chen Pi noticed that in the corner of the banquet hall, a sturdy man was watching every suspicious person in the venue with a vigilant gaze, obviously the security personnel of this banquet.

Just as Chen Pi was about to turn back, out of the corner of his eye, he found that there were two other familiar people in the corner of the banquet hall who were talking quietly. To his surprise, the two seemed to be chatting very attentively, and he didn't notice his arrival until he walked close to the two.

"Team Li, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Chen Pi said with a smile, "I don't know what the two of you are talking about so fascinated, I even turned a blind eye to say hello." ”

"Makes you smile." Li Jian smiled with embarrassment, "How can I turn a blind eye to you, if it weren't for your strong help at the airport, the casualties of my citizens in Sichuan and Chongqing would definitely be very heavy." ”

Chen Pi smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "How is Sichuan and Chongqing doing?" ”

"Mr. Bu said that now there are frequent incidents in Sichuan and Chongqing, and many Sichuan and Chongqing citizens have taken refuge in the countryside." Li Jian immediately complained, "There are incidents of monsters attacking humans every day, and there are countless reports of missing people, and I am so busy that I hit the back of my head every day, and recently I can only sleep for two hours a day." ”

Although he was standing in an unobtrusive corner, Li Jian was obviously thinking about this position, and Chen Pi found that his vision actually took in the entire hall, and almost everyone was under his watch.

I saw that Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaohui were still surrounded by several young men, scrambling to please the two women, and next to the two women, it was Zhao Qinghua with an impatient face, obviously his patience was almost to the extreme, but Ren Feiyu had already become accustomed to this kind of scene, and stood behind Xu Xiaohui with an expressionless face.

"Miss Xu is really a rare beauty." Following Chen Pi's gaze, Li Jian also saw this scene and said in a low voice.

"Team Li is also tempted?" Chen Pi smiled.

"Miss Xu, as the first heir of the Xu Foundation, is as beautiful as a flower and has a gentle temperament, she can be said to be the lover that most men dream of, how can I avoid vulgarity?" Li Jian smiled and said, "But I still have self-knowledge, and I won't be as entangled as these people." ”

"Who is that twenty-seven-eight-year-old young man? Yes, the nouveau riche with rings all over his fingers. Chen Pi pointed to a young man who was paying tribute to Xu Nannan and asked.

"Qian Shushu, a young rich man who has only emerged in recent years." Li Jian looked at him twice, lowered his voice and said in Chen Pi's ear, "His fortune is very mysterious, and he is still unknown, but he is very related to the ground in Sichuan and Chongqing, and he is quite open-minded, even we don't want to provoke him." He has several factories under his name, as well as several large entertainment venues in Sichuan and Chongqing, which bring him a lot of wealth to squander every year. ”

Chen Pi frowned secretly in an unknown way.

Xu Nannan looked at the handsome face of Qian Shushu who kept praising and pleasing herself, and for some reason a feeling of disgust rose from the bottom of her heart, although she was forced to maintain a moving smile on her face, but the little hand behind her back revealed her true thoughts, and a flower had been torn apart by her.

"Miss Xu, we met for the first time, I came in a hurry this time, there is no good gift to give, this brooch is also a valuable item, give it to Miss Xu, a little to show my heart." Qian Shushu took out a small box from his arms, and there was a black brooch inlaid with a transparent crystal the size of a thumb, and handed it to Xu Nannan with a smile.

"What a beautiful crystal." Xu Xiaohui, who was standing next to Xu Nannan, whispered and exclaimed, under the bright lights of the banquet hall, the crystal bloomed with colorful light, which was dazzling, and the people around the two women couldn't help but exclaim the same exclamation, love beauty is human nature, let alone such beautiful jewelry.

Xu Nannan's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by it, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, but in the end, she shook her head firmly and said, "Master Qian, I really can't accept such a valuable item, I'm sorry." ”

Xu Nannan knew very well in her heart that even she, who had grown up in a pile of jewelry, could not refuse its attraction, and it could never be an ordinary crystal.

"Miss Xu is too modest, with Miss's family background, I haven't seen any precious items, and these things are really nothing to me." Qian Shushu smiled and took out another small box from his arms, took out a head flower inlaid with red crystal, and sent it to Xu Xiaohui. "This one is for Sister Xiaohui, please accept it with your face."

The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, such beautiful jewelry was actually two things in one go, and Qian Shushu was really generous.

"It's too precious for us to take it." Xu Nannan said with a sad face, Xu Xiaohui, who had the heart to accept it, saw that her sister still insisted on seeing her, so she had to shake her head and refuse.

"Everyone, please give way, the banquet is about to begin, so please return to your seats." Chen Pi squeezed into the crowd and stood between Qian Shushu and Xu Nannan.

"Who is this?" Qian Shushu asked a little unpleasantly, and he could naturally see that Chen Pi and Xu Nannan and the others should know each other.

"I'm a good friend of Nannan, and I have received Mr. Qian's kindness, but please take it back." Chen Pi said lightly.
