Chapter 278: The Darkest Hour
"Orin, I'm not kidding you." Zhou Sen's expression became more stern than ever.
"......" Orin is a little unaccustomed to Zhou Sen's strictness, because, only since Zhou Sen escaped from prison, his temperament has become much more tame.
"Orin, I am looking for you to be a partner, in addition to you being the best candidate at the moment, my main purpose is to hope that you will become stronger, because, in the next few days, the weak can only survive by luck, and the strong people, even if they cannot finally control their own destiny, but in the face of the vast majority of disasters, the probability of survival is much greater than that of ordinary people." Zhou Sen said word by word.
"In other words, if I don't become your partner, I will most likely become one of the 500 billion?" Orin stared blankly at Zhou Sen's serious expression, and she had an indescribable feeling, because she realized that Zhou Sen was planning for her future, which made her heart beat faster.
"Yes, you are just a journalist, even if you are a well-known reporter, but in the era of turbulence and war, you do not have the ability to survive, on the contrary, you are likely to become the target of many forces to hunt down or use, because you have exposed a lot of darkness in the past, which will make some authoritarian dictators afraid, which will make many underworld forces afraid, and the best way for them to deal with people like you is to physically eliminate you."
"Won't I be in this danger when I go into business?"
"Yes, but at least the level of danger is much smaller, because you have gone from a well-known journalist to a businessman, and at this time, you are much less of a threat to them, and you have become a valuable person, but before that, your status as a journalist was of no value to those people. In addition, because I support you behind you, many people will be jealous, will consider the consequences, weigh the gains and losses, and find that you will not threaten them, plus my existence, then, your survival probability will be greatly improved. ”
"Thank you." Orin glanced at Zhou Sen deeply.
"The darkest period of more than 700 years in the Five Star Domains is coming, you have to be mentally prepared." Zhou Sen sighed.
"Zhou Sen, I'm curious, when did you have this idea?"
"What do you mean?"
"When did you come up with the idea to make me your partner? Also, when did you make inferences about the future of the five star fields? Is it in the energy star? ”
"The partner thought about it when he was in Mogan Prison, but he just thought about it, and he didn't think about putting it into action, because I think you still lack ruthlessness, lack decisiveness, and have the heart of the Virgin, which is a big taboo for doing great things, and most of the reasons for the destruction of the country and the extinction in history are due to the flood of the Holy Mother. Later, I was amazed by how you behaved on this planet, especially when you didn't hesitate to shoot and kill Hamuza, the mayor of Rudong Town, and I was sure that you were already qualified to be my partner. As for the future inference of the five star fields, it is indeed a conclusion drawn on this planet, because there were billions of people before the energy star, and in just one hundred and fifty years, its total population has dropped to about fifty million, which is a very terrifying data, perhaps, in your eyes, this is just a data, but this is the fragmentation of hundreds of millions of families, and the tragedy of the unnatural death of countless lives...... In fact, the energy star is a microcosm of the five star fields, the difference is that the five star fields are too big and too big, and many potential crises are not noticed at all, but the outbreak of the ironclad giant cockroach disaster has made the crisis that has been dormant for more than 700 years also break out at one time, and the strength and coverage of its destruction will be unprecedented. Zhou Sen said with a solemn expression.
"I retract my thoughts."
“…… What do you mean? ”
"Before, I always thought that there could be no geniuses in this world, but after I got to know you, I found that there are really geniuses in this world, and they have an innate and meticulous mind. Chances are, I blamed the ......" Orin was a little gloomy.
"Who's to blame?" Zhou Sen's heart moved, he probably guessed that the one in Orin's mouth should be his scientist Zhou Sen's identity.
"A top-notch genius...... By the way, how long do we have to get to the secret air base? Orin digressed the subject.
"It's coming soon." Zhou Sen pointed to a col under the cliff and said, "Look, there is an abandoned radio telescope. ”
Olin followed the direction of Zhou Sen's finger and saw that inside the mountain nest in the distance, there was a huge spherical radio telescope, of course, if it was not for Zhou Sen's reminder, it would be difficult to find its existence, because the entire radio telescope had collapsed, and most of the place was covered by dense plants.
"Why don't you build roads for this kind of base?" Orin was a little puzzled.
"There are many reasons for this, because the technology of the sheep tribe has mastered the anti-gravity system 150 years ago, which means that heavy equipment does not need ground transportation, and spaceships do not need runways, so they don't feel the need to spend a lot of money to build roads." Zhou Sen said.
"I'm curious, is there anything you don't understand?" Orin asked suddenly.
"I don't understand...... There are many things I don't understand, for example, I can't understand women, and I say no when I want to. Zhou Sen shrugged.
"......" Orin had a fever on her face, and she almost immediately thought of when she rejected Zhou Sen, at that time, she just wanted it, but said goodbye in her mouth.
"Once, I played a game with my girlfriend, she obviously wanted me to play with her until dawn, but said let me rest early, hey, women are really an incomprehensible animal, they can say it openly, but they have to let men figure it out for themselves." Zhou Sen sighed.
“……”
Hearing that Zhou Sen actually said that he was playing games with his girlfriend, Orin was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to jump off the cliff, but fortunately, Zhou Sen walked in front and didn't notice the rich expression on Orin's face behind him.
"Do you play games?"
"Don't play. By the way, is the girlfriend you are talking about Qin Ge? ”
"It's not." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"Does Qin Ge know that you have a girlfriend?"
"I don't know."
"Aren't you afraid that Qin Ge knows?"
"I'm afraid...... But there is no way, but now I can not be afraid, because, my girlfriend and I have broken up. ”
"Why did you break up?"
"There's no reason, it's just a breakup."
"Will it get back together?" After Orin asked this question, his mood became inexplicably nervous.
"No, it won't."
"You don't love her anymore?" Orin let out a long sigh of relief.
"Love...... What is Love? I still haven't figured it out, maybe, because, I just feel comfortable with her, I miss her, I care about her, but it's not love, I'm not sure yet. And I'm not sure if she loves me. Zhou Sen's faint voice was full of melancholy, because the third princess was the biggest suspect.
The two fell silent for a while.
There was a long silence.
What is love?
Love has no substance, and there is no specific description of the word "love", because it is rich in too many personal emotions, and everyone's understanding of love is different.
Maternal love.
Father's love.
Friendship.
Love between a man and a woman.
All love, at different stages of life, has different meanings, there is heavy love, there is easy love, and there is a kind of love that looks at each other from afar.
And love, in the face of interests, how heavy, many people can not find the answer in their lifetime, because many people do not need to face a choice between love and money......
……
It's here.
The secret aviation base arrived.
It's a very inconspicuous secret aviation base, and the base is located in a mountain col, about twenty kilometers away from the huge radio telescope.
There is a low house on the base, which has been covered with vegetation, and only the outline of a building can be seen.
When the two approached the base, they were a little surprised, the equipment here was rusty, but it was all in a complete state, not damaged, and even the building covered with plants was well preserved.
Clearly, the place was not destroyed by the headhunters.
Before, when Zhou Sen discovered the arsenal under the guidance of Xiao Jiu, the buildings outside had been severely damaged. The buildings and facilities here have been able to be preserved in good condition, probably because of the lack of access to the area.
The two searched the base for two hours before they found a rusty metal gate in the back mountain.
The metal gate was a full five meters high, and from the thick roots of the surrounding plants, it was clear that it had not been opened for at least a hundred years.
The spaceship built by the sheep people should be hidden in this cave.
Zhou Sen directly dissolved a hole in the metal door and drilled in.
The moment the two of them entered the cave, they were completely disappointed, because they saw the spaceship inside the cave at a glance, and the so-called spaceship was still only in the state of a dragon skeleton.
Neither of them expected that the spaceship they found by climbing mountains and wading through rivers was actually just a dragon skeleton......
……
"We have one less option. Damn the sheep clan, they also falsify data! Zhou Sen scolded, you know, the information in the arsenal shows that the spaceship has been completed.
"Maybe the headhunters demolished it."
“…… Quite possibly. ”
"Is there a way to assemble it?"
"Impossible." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"Why?"
"I don't know much about spaceships, and besides, the technology tree of the sheep people is different from our five star domains, if you want to assemble it, it is estimated that it will not be completed in three years and five years, in case of missing a few key spare parts, we will never want to start this spaceship in our lives." Zhou Sen's hardcore tie is tethered.
"It seems that we can only rely on the ship at the top of the gods." Orin looked indifferent, but there was some joy in his heart.
"You don't seem to care at all?"
"Ah...... I...... Should I care? Orin was stunned.
"You don't want to go back to the Five Star Domains?"
"I'm ......" Orin was stunned for a moment, and she realized that she didn't want to return to the Lawless Star Domain in her heart.
What's wrong with you?
The more Orin thought about it, the more scared she became, and she found that she had really fallen in love with Zhou Sen, and she was so deep that she was willing to spend the rest of her life with him on this planet.
The two walked around the base for a while, although they were amazed by the level of science and technology of the sheep people back then, but they found nothing.
"Let's go to the top of the gods, if nothing else, the sheep people have already occupied the top of the gods." Zhou Sen summoned a bunch of supplies and found a flying skateboard from inside.
"Why didn't you use a flying skateboard when we came?" Orin stared at the flying skateboard in Zhou Sen's hand.
"Didn't I say that when we come, we have to hide our tracks so that no one can find out that our destination is this secret air base, and whether it's an armed hovercar or a flying skateboard, it's easy to be spotted, but if we're sneaking through the jungle, it's hard to be spotted. Even if we were discovered, we would not suspect that we were looking for this secret base. ”
"Okay...... Only one flying skateboard? ”
"Yes."
"I asked to stand in the back." Orin didn't want Zhou Sen to slap her waist.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Are you standing?" Zhou Sen stepped on the flying skateboard.
"Stand...... Ah......h
As soon as Orin agreed, the flying skateboard took off into the air, she screamed in fright and quickly put her arms around Zhou Sen, when she just hugged it, the flying skateboard paused without warning, and Orin's chest hit Zhou Sen's back hard.
"Hahahahaha...... Ahhh......h
Zhou Sen felt the strangeness behind him, and let out bursts of rampant laughter, so angry that Orin pinched him desperately on his waist, and pinched Zhou Sen's laughter into screams.
The screams echoed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into the vast mountains against the canopy......
