At this time, the new year is only two days away, but no one cares about the arrival of the new year. The news of the Ark's imminent departure not only spread throughout the tower, but the various forces floating outside received the company's notice and rushed to the city. These associations will work hard for the list made by the company, and they all want to salvage the items that the company needs from the bottom of the sea with their own strength, so as to find a place in the ark.

Who knows what life will be like after the Ark leaves?

The big man of the company stationed in the tower is obviously going to leave with the ark, so will there be a bounty mission next? Will there still be liquid food and water? If all this is gone, how will it survive?

The inhabitants of the houseboat area were not saddened that their people were devoured by sea beasts that sprang out of the sea, and they were sad that the ark could not take them away. Early death and late death, and in the end, they are all one death, where is the difference?

Not to mention the people in the houseboat area, even those gangs with great power, are also doing their best to get a place on the ark, and more gangs also have endless sadness in their hearts. They knew that even if they got the tickets, they would only have a few tickets, and they would not be able to take their turn at all.

The most calm were the slaves in the tower. They continued to produce fresh water, liquid food, clothing, shoes and hats, bows and crossbows, and other weapons, and no one told them about the Ark, and even if anyone had heard of it, they would never have imagined that it was about to arrive.

The only thing that caught the attention of the slaves was that the production tasks were getting heavier and heavier, and the overseers were becoming more and more irritable.

Some slaves could not bear too much load and fell to the ground and died, and then they were dragged out by the guards and sent outside the tower for cremation.

Not to mention the slaves, even the big names in the Nine Towers are also racking their brains about how to take more people. Without great strength and manpower, they have no right to speak when they go to another strange place.

This is also the reason why Aunt Zhao of Tower No. 2 deliberately targeted the Nine Towers. Persimmon picks soft pinch, everyone knows this truth. Although the eldest lady Cheng Xiaoning is proficient in psychological techniques, it is not so easy to use psychological techniques on others.

Lao Tzu Cheng Yongsheng is not in the tower, which makes the competition between the nine towers more and more intense, although it does not directly tear the skin, it is almost the same.

Not to mention the second tower, even Cheng Xiaoning's elder brothers, didn't they also shoot at the Nine Towers? They did it more secretively, but their purpose was the same as Aunt Zhao of the Second Tower.

The people outside didn't know what the situation was like in the Ark, but they were clear. The ark has a total of eighteen floors, with sailors occupying two floors, guards occupying two floors, fuel occupying one floor, weapons occupying one floor, food and water occupying three floors, and there are only nine floors left, corresponding to the nine towers to be taken away.

Each floor, excluding the rest place of the big guys, food storage, and the rest of the cabin is only 1,500 seats.

These 1,500 seats, medical staff are necessary, service personnel are necessary, the adult personal servant seats of each tower are necessary, personal protection is necessary, and the number of remaining is only 1,000 at most.

If Aunt Zhao controls the Nine Towers, then she will be able to arrange more than five hundred more people on the side of the Nine Towers. In other words, when she goes to a new place, the strength of her subordinates increases greatly, and the more she has the right to speak.

When the time comes, don't say that the other towers will look up to her, even the old man has to be more green eyes for her.

It's cruel to say, the slaves in the tower, the residents of the houseboat area, and the manpower of those forces outside add up to 40 million people, but how many people can be taken by the ark is only 30,000. Calculated by numbers, it is only one in a thousand, of course, too many people are not qualified to be counted in the base, that is, when considering space, most people do not even have the opportunity to be considered.

Speaking of which, the company's ability to control this sea area is too strong. They have taken control of the preserved knowledge on the planet Glacey and used it to arm themselves and grow stronger. Ordinary people are increasingly reduced to the situation of fighting for survival, and knowledge and culture are complete luxuries for them.

Like Shu Xingbei, who received Chinese education at home when he was a child, there are not many in the entire boathouse area, and when he entered the Jishi Organization and went to the library department, he read too many notes left by others, which was even more rare.

Opportunities, not everyone has. When the opportunity comes, not everyone can seize it.

When Tao Meimei offered advice to Aunt Yuan, Aunt Zhao smiled lightly and said a method, "How many of those forces outside are now moving closer to the Nine Towers?" Give that girl a chance, and say that we have almost enough manpower, and the Dragon Tiger Gang and the Long Whale Gang will leave it to her. ”

Tao Meimei's eyes lit up, "What does Mr. Zhao mean to say, let the Nine Towers send forces to subdue those people?" ”

"Of course. Those organizations outside are snobbish one by one, they don't have absolute power, and they still want to control them? Aunt Zhao snorted.

"But the Dragon and Tiger Gang and the Long Whale Gang are obviously obedient to us, if they are really taken away by the Nine Towers," Tao Meimei still didn't quite understand what Aunt Zhao meant.

"Our own strength is enough. How did you survive when those organizations were taught? To tell you, as long as the old man is willing, it is only a matter of one sentence for any organization to be destroyed. But when the old man does things, he likes competition, and he says that giving people a chance to compete, but it can stimulate people's motivation and bloodiness more, and we take advantage of it, which gives them the opportunity to grow. Besides, how many of those organization leaders didn't escape from the tower in the first place? Throwing a bone can make them die. They snatched the bones, and thought they had the ability. Now all eyes are on the ferry tickets, what's the matter, they're all here, right? Aunt Zhao took the trouble to explain to Tao Meimei.

"Yes, I'll do it early tomorrow morning. On the side of the security department, someone was also transferred to work with me, "Tao Meimei really understands." She, a think tank, must also be on the basis of possession in order to do her best for Aunt Zhao.

This is also the reason why Aunt Zhao told her all the details.

"Take Chen Jing with you, there's a fourth-level warrior with you, is that enough?" Aunt Zhao waved her hand, meaning that the conversation was over.

"Enough. With Vice Minister Chen in the past, isn't he still walking sideways in the Nine Towers? Tao Meimei giggled, "I'll wait for you to sleep." ”

"No need," Aunt Zhao sighed, "I don't know how cold the pillow is at night." ”

This sigh completely expresses the unfinished sorrow of a middle-aged resentful woman.

Tao Meimei didn't dare to say more, so she retreated.

When the leader of the Nine Towers Patrol reported to Cheng Xiaoning that Tao Meimei of the Second Pagoda asked to see her, she was still playing with the things sent by her two elder brothers. One is the Heart of the Ocean necklace, and the other is the Ice Treasure.

"It's so good-looking," Cheng Xiaoning played, facing the mirror, putting the Heart of the Ocean on his neck, and twisting his body in front of the mirror, "Yes, it's really good." Hee-hee. ”

The Ice Treasure that was very useful for her sensing technique was placed on the table, and she didn't bother to take care of it. It is in the nature of women to love beauty. When you see good jewelry, your eyes glow, as if you have been hungry for many days before you see food. Cheng Xiaoning is no exception. In the sea area, Rao is the strength of the company, and it is extremely difficult to make decent jewelry. It's like the motorcycle that Cheng Xiaoning won. That motorcycle, I don't know how many materials the fourth heir secretly hidden, and how many people were arranged, so he built it, and he didn't dare to ride in the tower blatantly. If the old man knew about it, he didn't know how many whips he would receive.

The leader of the patrol stood at the doorway with his head bowed, and he did not dare to shout. After the eldest lady learned that Tao Meimei was coming, she only said that she knew, and there was no further instruction so far, and the patrol leader could only stay here.

"Please come into my office, let Mr. Bao come over and listen," Tao Meimei muttered, "Also, let my aunt call Shu Xingbei over." ”

"Yes," the leader of the patrol immediately arranged for someone to do it, and he personally went to the door to greet Tao Meimei.

Tao Meimei wore a simple dress, a blue cloth blouse and a pair of canvas pants, but the simple clothes were worn on her body, which outlined her bumpy figure. In addition, this woman is also beautiful, and her appearance like this gives her a sense of being a plain urban beauty.

Behind Tao Meimei was a man dressed in animal skins, with a wide face and a square mouth, a huge body, and a muffled voice when he walked.

The two of them, led by the leader of the guards, came to the office on the twenty-fifth floor.

Cheng Xiaoning sat on a leather chair behind the table, and behind her was a large portrait of her father, also known as SPEA

Portrait of the company's president Cheng Yongsheng. The old man in the portrait has gray hair, a small face, and a pair of triangular eyes that are extremely expressive, just staring condescendingly at everyone who walks into the room.

Tao Meimei bowed down and saluted Cheng Xiaoning, "Tao Meimei has seen the eldest lady." ”

The man also saluted, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Cheng Xiaoning no longer played with the heart of the ocean under her neck, she sat up straight, her round eyes were full of curiosity, "Tao Meimei, I remember you, you are Aunt Zhao's personal maid, right?" Why, was kicked out by Aunt Zhao and wanted to do things with me? ”

Tao Meimei smiled bitterly: "Miss, I was instructed by Mr. Zhao to come and report a situation to Miss. ”

"Oh? What's the situation? Does it mean that my Nine Towers have been infiltrated by the Second Tower? Cheng Xiaoning's eyebrows were full of sneers.

"Ah," Tao Meimei pretended to be surprised, but refused to take this stubble, "Mr. Zhao said that there are many forces and organizations in the outer seas, and they have salvaged a lot of useful things, and they are trying to hand them over to the eldest lady, but they have no way, so Mr. Zhao pointed them out a way and asked them to bring things over to serve the eldest lady." ”

"What's that?" Cheng Xiaoning asked.

"20 cans of oxygen, 500 catties of sea spirit grass, 100 catties of fresh exotic fruits from the ocean, 7 tons of rice," Tao Meimei replied carefully, and she was not afraid that you would not be tempted.
