Chapter 287: The Garden of Eden

The hook no longer had the same aura as before, he was still in the middle of the hall with his hands and feet tied, and a prankster had pierced his large nose with silver needles that sealed his nostrils so tightly that he had to use his mouth to breathe.

His nose was large, but his mouth was small, and it seemed that the gas he had inhaled from his mouth was not enough to maintain the necessary oxygen in his body, and his breathing was rapid and tense, like a person's gasping for breath before death.

The battle was uneven, with Hook's men clearly outnumbered, well-equipped, and well-trained than the imprisoned warriors, while the Bloody Matrix fighters were covered in wounds, many of them even yellow-skinned and malnourished.

But it was such an unfair battle, the warriors of the bloody matrix wiped out the so-called elite troops of the hook, in which the momentum played a decisive role, fighting for money and fighting for freedom are completely different in mental state, when death is extremely close, no one is willing to die for that little salary every month, and the vast majority of the guards of the hook choose to surrender without a fight.

Xia Fei pointed to the hook with a blue nose and swollen face and said, "You don't want to give him to me, do you?" I have little interest in him, but you have been tortured by him for many years, and it is up to you to decide his fate. ”

The butcher laughed and said, "Since you say so, I won't shirk it, and the brothers will escort him out and dispose of him at will"

Judging by the tone in which the butcher spoke, it was as if he was already the leader of this group of warriors.

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time"

"Grandson, I have to pay you back twice as much today as I have suffered"

The crowd shouted loudly and carried the hook out of the hall and threw it on the ground, and a bloody feast began, and the anger in their hearts needed to be vented, and the hook was the best object for the warriors to vent.

There were only three people left in the hall: Xia Fei, Shen Dong and the butcher.

Xia Fei said: "If there is nothing else I want to go back first, Brother Butcher, you should also contact the family as soon as possible, after so many years, the family must be very worried about you." ”

The butcher nodded, "You must go home, this matter will be talked about later, you come with me first." ”

The three of them walked out of the hall and went straight to the backyard, the hook of this house everything occupies a big word, there is actually a mountain in the huge backyard, this is not an ornamental rockery, but a real mountain, trees and flowers, streams splashing is beautiful.

There is a clear spring flowing down the mountain, forming a small waterfall no more than half a meter wide, and there is a pool of clear water at the foot of the mountain.

The butcher led Xia Fei and Shen Dong to the edge of the pool, pointed to the water with one hand and said: "This is where the hook hides his property, most of them have already been robbed, but there are still some good things, this time we can get out of trouble thanks to your plan, so the brothers are discussing to find an opportunity to repay you, you must not be too little if there are not many things." ”

Xia Fei smiled slightly: "The more things like gold and silver treasures, the better, I won't refuse, why don't we go down and have a look." ”

Taking a deep breath, the three people jumped into the water, only to see that the depth of the pool was about thirty-seven or eight meters, and a small door had been opened on the side wall, the size of which was only for one person to pass through, and a vague light shone out from inside.

Swimming through this gate is another man-made pool, Xia Fei surfaced to watch, a brass statue with a height of more than ten meters stood in the middle, covered with all kinds of gems, but these attractive stones have already been dug up, leaving only a hole.

The surroundings were empty, and the air circulation system was still working tirelessly without knowing that its owner was dead.

"As soon as the bloody matrix was messed up, the hook's men began to rush this place, most of the things were robbed by them, fortunately, we found out in time to leave some of them behind, otherwise this place would have been looted long ago." The butcher said.

Xia Fei nodded, "This is probably the sorrow of the hero, the hook is too strong, I think every subordinate will obey him, but I don't know that this obedience comes from the fear of him, once the hook can no longer use his strength to deter his subordinates, it will be time for him to perish." ”

The butcher didn't seem to understand, he patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "Come on, I'll show you what the brothers left for you." ”

Sou

The butcher flew up to the statue's shoulder, pulled out a mahogany box from the statue's head, and then jumped down again, revealing that its head was hollow and had a mystery inside.

"This is what we found by accident, and we didn't open it to see, so it must be a good thing to hide it so hidden." The butcher said.

Xia Fei put away the box and nodded, "Thank you, Shen Dong and I will go back, what are you going to do?" ”

The butcher said: "Many of us need to recuperate, after all, who can be in the bloody matrix all year round without pain, we also have to find a way to contact the Navy Headquarters to wipe out this base for the production of drugs in one fell swoop, and we must not let Bliss continue to harm the world." ”

Xia Fei thought for a while, took out a notebook and wrote down his email address, then tore off the page and handed it to the butcher, "This is my contact information, I have a company in my hometown, big or small, if you have a place to find me, just contact me." ”

The butcher accepted the note and nodded heavily: "Brother Xia Fei, it's easy to go all the way"

Xia Fei smiled: "I don't know your real name yet?" ”

The butcher laughed, "The name is just a code name, since everyone calls me butcher, then I'll use that name." ”

"It's fine." Xia Fei smiled and said, "We'll have a meeting later." ”

……

Sou

Shen Dong's Tristan-class flew into the starry sky, adjusted the automatic navigation, and Shen Dong walked out of the control room and found Xia Fei making tea in the restaurant.

"It's set, the destination capital star circle, the hook's lair is hidden in a special space, there is no way to find it without coordinates, fortunately, I have already marked the seat when I come, and I only need two jumps to get out, and then I can connect to the star network." Shen Dong said.

Xia Fei poured Shen Dong a cup of tea, "Take a break, what are you going to do when you get to the Capital Star Circle?" ”

Shen Dong looked melancholy, "Hey, a lot of things are still pressing, do you remember my promise to help Yue Ge find those strange things?" ”

Xia Fei nodded, "Remember, but Yuege is also in the capital." ”

"What is she doing there?" Shen Dong asked curiously.

Xia Fei said: "According to her, her family is ready to let her marry Bai Ye, of course she is unwilling, but it is difficult to refuse the family's request, so she is very embarrassed." ”

"That white night at training camp?"

"Exactly."

Shen Dong shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I have long seen that Bai Ye's eyes are very abnormal when he looks at Yue Ge, I heard that the Bai family has a very good relationship with the Li family of Confusing Star Finance, but I am afraid that Yue Ge is not afraid of the Bai Ye family, but the Li family." ”

Xia Fei said: "That's right, the Li family is even more unbearable than I imagined, maybe this is a common problem in the upper class, always thinking that if you have money, you have everything." ”

Shen Dong frowned and said, "What? Are these people embarrassing you? ”

"Nope." Xia Fei didn't want Shen Dong to get involved in his troubles, so he said, "I listened to Yuege. ”

Shen Dong didn't feel anything, as Xia Fei's identity, it stands to reason that there was no reason to have any entanglement with these great families at the top of the food chain, so he didn't think much about it.

"Your results in the Golden Finger Cup this time are good, why don't I go to the Capital Star Circle to rest for a while, and then go on the road after the game, this time of running back and forth, can make me tired enough." Shen Dong said.

A steely man like him rarely complains about being tired, but people are not machines after all, there will always be a day when they are tired, and when Shen Dong says that he is tired, it must be really overworked.

After being silent for a while, Shen Dong suddenly said: "I only realized what you experienced before when I ran alone in the sea of stars, in fact, you don't have to carry everything alone, Yue Ge is right, his illusion and my ice plus your speed will definitely be a first-class ability combination, if you need anything, just tell me, anyway, I am determined to be a person who runs around now, and I don't plan to settle down for the time being." ”

Xia Fei smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

After chatting with Shen Dong for a while, Xia Fei returned to the lounge to get in touch with others, this is already a fixed step, every time he returns, he must first report to Avril first, followed by asking about the company's recent situation and Qin Mang's situation.

There was still some time before the next jump, and the star network could not be connected yet, so Xia Fei simply took the small box that the butcher gave him.

There was only an old-fashioned combination lock on the box, and Xia Fei was troublesome and directly pulled the lock open.

Poof

The smoke suddenly rose, Xia Fei was shocked, hurriedly exited the room, pressed the exhaust system on the wall, and forcibly pumped the air in the room into space.

"What's going on?"

After receiving the alarm from the main control room, Shen Dong rushed over as soon as possible and asked anxiously.

Xia Fei said: "There was poisonous gas in the box that the butcher gave me just now, fortunately, my speed was fast enough to flash out at the first time, otherwise I am afraid that I would have been poisoned at this moment." ”

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Could it be that the butcher did it on purpose, knowing that the box was poisonous, and handed it to you?" ”

Xia Fei smiled: "You are too suspicious, he handed over the box to me without even looking at it, how would he know that there was a mechanism in it, and if he had two hearts, he would not have cooperated with me in the first place, he would have already found an opportunity to start, why wait until now." ”

Shen Dong felt that Xia Fei's words made sense, so he didn't ask any more.

The two of them returned to the main control room to watch the situation in the room through the video system, this ship is owned by the Shen Dong family, the decoration is far more luxurious and spacious than ordinary civilian spaceships, and the equipment is everything, but now the palatial room has already become a mess, the long-staple cotton fabric has been burned, and even the three-titanium alloy walls have been corroded into holes of different sizes.

You must know that Xia Fei turned on the air exhaust system as soon as possible, assuming that the slightly slower and violent poisonous gas is likely to directly destroy the hull, causing unpredictable consequences.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to break your room." ”

Shen Dong let out a sigh, "Oh my God, what exactly did you activate?" This thing is too toxic, but luckily you reacted quickly enough, and if I changed it, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even any scum left. ”

Xia Fei shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it the box that the butcher gave me, how did I know it was so powerful." ”

Shen Dong's eyes lit up and said: "This seemingly ordinary box actually has such a strong defense, if it is an ordinary thing, maybe the butcher will give you something good." ”

"I hope so." Xia Fei said lightly.

……

In fact, it was not only the room that was damaged, but even the ventilation system was also seriously corroded, fortunately, it did not affect the normal operation of the battleship, but Shen Dong had to spend a lot of money to repair the spaceship after he went back, of course, with the Shen family's prestige in the Frost Empire, money has never been a problem.

He couldn't enter the room for a while, so Xia Fei had to find another bedroom and prepare to tell Avril about his news.

The ultra-micro computer finally connected to the satellite network, and the computer had been prompting network congestion before that.

The Star Network is not the Internet on Earth, although the nature is similar but there is an essential difference in technology and quality. This surprised Xia Fei, he couldn't remember the last time this happened, anyway, it was the first time that such a thing happened during the time he had been in contact with the Star Network.

Countless messages popped up from the window, as if they exploded, and it was not terrible to have news in the highly developed pan-human alliance, but it was terrible that thousands of uncountable messages appeared at the same time

Xia Fei frowned, it was only three days from boarding Lu San's transport ship to leaving the hook's territory and returning to the alliance, what happened in such a short period of time that would make the always unbreakable Star Network face collapse?

Opening EEC Media, the largest news website in the alliance, it took a few minutes for the computer to refresh the web page, and Xia Fei fixed his eyes on the news on the same content, without exception, even the recent current affairs and politics did not know where to go.

……

After about ten minutes, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, "It seems that I haven't had a big deal in the past few days, Eden?" Have you heard of ghosts? ”

The ghost shook his head, this incident shocked him no less than Xia Fei.

bang

Shen Dong didn't knock on the door, and rushed in directly, "Xia Fei, something is wrong."

Xia Fei smiled and pointed to the light curtain in front of him, "You can't say that this is the same, right?" ”

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right, who would have thought that in just a dozen hours, there would be an extra place called the Garden of Eden in this world." ”

Xia Fei said: "The universe is so big, and we still know too little about it, so any wind and grass will shock us." ”

"What do you think about this?" Shen Dong asked.

Xia Fei said: "The current news mainly revolves around the Hope, and the one hundred and sixty-five crew members on the Hope, although this kind of warship obviously does not belong to any known alliance warship, but it cannot be confirmed that they are indeed from the Garden of Eden. ”

"It's not impossible if someone deliberately built a warship with a strange shape to deceive the public, after all, in addition to the four major ship companies in the alliance, there are many businesses that also have the ability to produce warships, so I think everything has to wait until the official conclusion is made, and it's too early to assert that there is any Garden of Eden."

Xia Fei's words were based on rational analysis, and Shen Dong was slightly disappointed, after all, who wouldn't want to be able to establish a direct connection with the ancient human race?

The news about the Garden of Eden originated from the fact that the Omiste field, far from the Capital Circle, had received a strange distress signal, which was not on the regular frequency of the Alliance, but delivered a message asking for help in many of the oldest human languages.

The Omiste field is close to the edge of the Alliance, and a large naval fleet is stationed there, and in order to investigate the authenticity of this signal, the naval headquarters sends a fleet across the border to find the owner of the signal.

After several long months, the search team found a strange-looking warship far away from the Alliance, which was scarred and appeared to have passed through the harsh cosmic environment.

The ship's one hundred and sixty-five crew members, all human, spoke one of the oldest scripts and languages, claiming to be from the New Garden of Eden.

According to them, the Garden of Eden was the greatest discovery of mankind a long, long time ago, a rich and colorful star field, quiet, peaceful, not part of any known space, left alone in this universe.

There are no known sapient beings there, so humans become local masters as soon as they enter.

Tens of thousands of human beings embarked on the road to the Garden of Eden with the yearning for a better new life, and they entered the Garden of Eden through an unknown wormhole, and lived there.

Unfortunately, the wormhole leading to the Garden of Eden was unstable, and unexpectedly the wormhole collapsed, leaving these brave immigrants and adventurers there forever.

The Garden of Eden is a separate spatial system, with no route to any place, it is like a closed room, existing in the sea of stars, but it can only be seen with the eyes at all times, and cannot reach anywhere outside the Garden of Eden.

A long, long time has passed, and the humans of Eden have been living lonely in some unknown corner of the sea of stars, and they have not experienced it at all when they were destroyed by an army of robots and then rebuilt again.

But there are some human beings in the Garden of Eden who have never forgotten their ancestors, and they have organized fleets to sail again and again, trying to reach the real origin of mankind, the Venal system, but the distant interstellar travel is not as simple as imagined, and the efforts of many generations have been in vain, and countless lives have been buried in the stars.

And these one hundred and sixty-five crew members are the first Eden residents of Eden to reach the Human Alliance through a long voyage, and it is precisely because of their arrival that the entire alliance is full of news for a while, and Eden has naturally become the focus of attention at the moment.

"The information we have so far is too limited to be certain until our fleet returns with these people, and until then I am personally cautiously optimistic about this matter." Xia Fei said.

Shen Dong was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing?" The ancient immigrants have returned to the embrace of the human alliance, and everyone should celebrate the same roots. ”

Xia Fei smiled slightly: "First, what these people said has not been verified, second, according to them, the Garden of Eden is a perfect starry sky without war and crime, I only know that where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, there will be wars and crimes, and they portray the Garden of Eden too beautifully, but it makes me suspicious." ”

Shen Dong was silent for a while, "I can only say that your way of thinking is really very problematic, and you don't believe that there is a perfect world." ”

Xia Fei smiled: "There is no problem with my way of thinking, but you think everything is too beautiful, let's go, the toxic gas should be almost discharged, I want to see what is in the box, it will release such a vicious poisonous gas." ”
