Chapter 112
A few days later, another major incident happened to the Zhengyang brigade. Their magic machine was stolen, or to be precise, it was driven away.
When the magic machine flew away, everyone thought that the people from the Zhengyang brigade were going to drive the magic machine to do something, but later they realized that the people in the magic machine were not from the Zhengyang brigade at all, let alone Ye Xiao. It was Wu Lin, the original pilot of Shenji, and several internal thieves.
However, most of the leadership of the Zhengyang Brigade was away that day, so the reaction speed was slow. When it was realized that the magic plane had been stolen, the triangular plane had already flown so far that it could no longer be seen.
As for why most of the leadership is not there, it is because they went to the city to find suitable machines, materials, and equipment, and planned to build a military factory in the Ning City base, and the things they were going to produce were of course magic machines.
Lin Tantan also came out together, or Ye Xiao took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to go out together, Lin Tantan thought about his great career of scavenging, and naturally agreed, and then went to a place where the ground was full of crystal cores, and the bag filled a bag Another bag, another pile of corpses was burned.
The sun in June is already very hot. Seeing the last corpse of the zombie being thrown into the fire, Lin Tantan controlled the flames not to be too high, and tried to wrap up every corpse as much as possible, and then ran back to the factory building in the distance .
It used to be a mess here, and it’s still a mess now. All kinds of equipment that Lin Tantan couldn’t understand were turned over by everyone, and the useful ones were collected in the space of the space powers, and the useless ones continued to be thrown here. Of course, there are relatively few useless things. As long as it is not rubbish, even a piece of scrap iron is collected. After all, it can be used for iron smelting in the future if conditions permit.
It was time to eat, Lin Tantan washed his hands, and sat next to Ye Xiao, who had already received her meal.
“Is it hot?” Ye Xiao raised his hand, and the cool breeze came from his hand, making Lin Tantan very comfortable. She brushed her slightly sweaty hair and said, “The wind should be stronger.”
Ye Xiao increased the wind power, it was like a human-shaped electric fan with a 360-degree rotation, Lin Tantan twisted a wet towel and wiped his face and neck, and the temperature of his whole body dropped when the wind blew again. He landed, squinted his eyes comfortably, and waved his hands: “Okay, let’s eat.”
When going out on missions, everyone basically brings their own rations, but if it is an important task initiated by the brigade, it is usually the brigade’s public food, which is the case today. The food was brought by people with space abilities, multigrain cakes, and a bowl of mung bean soup.
Lin Tantan picked up a cake, which was palm-sized and finger-thick. The main ingredients were bean dregs, flour, animal oil, sugar, and a little egg and milk powder. The ripened soybeans are squeezed out, the eggs are also fresh eggs picked that day, and the animal oil is new oil that has just been boiled. It tastes soft and has a rough taste, but the taste is very good, oily and fragrant, and sweet. The important thing is that the whole pancake has a fresh and healthy taste, which cannot be eaten elsewhere.
She was full after eating one, and drank slowly with her mung bean soup.
A serving of mung bean soup is not much, the main purpose is to sweeten the mouth and make people angry. Under the cooling effect of the ice-type supernatural beings in the team, the ice-cold soup is cold until it reaches the stomach, which is very refreshing.
Lin talked about the first time she ate a public-level work meal. Even in the clinic, her work meal was at the level of two dishes, one soup, and vegetables and rice. It was the first time she ate this multigrain cake, and she felt pretty good.
Looking at the other people, they all ate with gusto, and they were obviously satisfied with the food. Looking at Ye Xiao, uh, he has already eaten the fifth one. Lin Tantan pushed the remaining cake towards him: “Do you want more? I’m full.”
Ye Xiao knew that she had a small appetite, and she had a lot of snacks on her body, so she couldn’t be hungry, so she didn’t be polite to her, so she ate that cake too.
At this time, Ye Xiao’s communicator rang, he raised his wrist and looked at his eyes, narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Tantan took the last broken mung bean in the bowl to his mouth and squeezed it open, feeling the delicate sandy feeling , looked at him: “what’s wrong?”
“Something happened in the compound, let’s go back immediately.” Ye Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth and said.
Lin Tantan knew that what happened was serious, otherwise he would not have said that he would rush back. The group of people immediately finished their food and returned to the base at noon when the zombies were at their weakest. After returning, they saw The place where the magic machine was originally placed was empty, and it was only after Lin Tantan did he realize that such a big thing had happened.
Bai Cheng rubbed his forehead, feeling very annoyed: “I went to Chief Lu’s just now, I didn’t expect that in such a short time…the mercenaries rescued Wu Lin, and knocked out the last two guards while everyone was eating. It was my carelessness to just drive the magic machine away like this.”
Ye Xiao said in a deep voice: “The main fault is mine. The first two times I drove the magic machine without going through any procedures, I drove away as soon as I said it. Otherwise, everyone would not see the magic machine in the sky and didn’t wake up.”
He frowned: “However, the discipline of the brigade should be carefully grasped. It’s so easy to be taken advantage of.”
Bai Cheng also agreed, so the two big bosses began to discuss how to enforce discipline.
Lin Tantan watched the whole process from the side, and always felt that there was something weird about losing a magic machine. Was their reaction too calm?
The voice outside was louder, and it was much more normal. Many people were laughing at the Zhengyang brigade, even if they got the magic machine, they couldn’t keep it, and it was easily stolen before it was warmed up. More people were missing the magic machine. But it’s a pity and annoyance.
The leader of the base, Lu Jianping, also came to ask, don’t care about the origin of this magical machine, there is such a treasure in the base, and he, the leader, has a bright face.
He blamed Ye Xiao for not handing over the Shenji to the base, and now he lost it for nothing. In a hurry, Ye Xiao said what if he lost one, and if he could build one himself, the Shenji Factory Starting today, everyone in the base will know that the Zhengyang brigade is going to make their own magical machine.
It’s not a transformation, but to build an airplane from scratch, starting from parts one by one.
People find it inconceivable that even before the end of the world, it was impossible for private individuals to build airplanes, and now that they want nothing, it is even more impossible. With the current industrial conditions, don’t even think about building a new car!
The news quickly spread back to the capital. Commander Fan laughed when he heard it, and his subordinates said with a wink: “They just retired and made such a thing. It’s really ridiculous. They built these five magic machines. The research institute It took ten years, and with them alone, there was nothing, and it would be considered good to be able to create a shell.”
Commander Fan smiled and said: “Okay, young people, there are some youthful vigor, let alone them, the magic machine should have been taken back by Min Yande’s people?”
“should be.”
“This Min Yande can hold his breath. He didn’t start until now. You have to make people move faster and get out the energy cannon earlier. Our magic machine can’t be worse than theirs.”
Commander Fan took it for granted that it was Min Yande who commanded thousands of miles away, so that the magical machine could be retrieved, and Ye Xiao was still a little tender.
At this time, Min Yande was overjoyed: “This Wu Lin is not bad, he is still useful at last, and I will reward him well when he comes back!” Thinking of Ye Xiao’s expression when he found out that the magic machine was stolen, he felt very happy, what did he say? Strong leadership ability, really capable of making people drive away the magic machine in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of everyone? The Zhengyang brigade is a joke!
But soon he wrinkled his fleshy face again: “He said that he wanted to build the magic machine himself, and the magic machine has been in their hands for more than 20 days. They can’t really study it thoroughly, can they?”
His confidant flattered him: “Just twenty days, what can they research? Besides, there is no detailed information, no professionals, and even no workshop. What can they do? Ye Xiao must feel lost I couldn’t hold back my face, so I said such crazy words.”
Min Yande thought about it, and stopped thinking about it, and waited for the return of the magic machine.
However, a few hours later, he was severely slapped in the face. The magic machine flew back, but instead of flying to him, it stopped at Chen Xing’s side.
Although Min Yande and Chen Xing belonged to the same camp and had a close relationship, they both had their own power and territory, but they were relatively close to each other. Now, the magic machine flew to Chen Xingna.
Min Yande sensed something was wrong, so he sent someone over to ask, and the answer he got was that Chen Xing’s grandson got it by himself, it was his private property, and it had something to do with Min Yande.
Min Yande was so angry that he forgot who Chen Xing’s grandson was, and ran over to ask for an explanation.
The Chen family was overjoyed because of Cai Chengliang’s return. Cai Chengliang talked about the hardships and dangers on the road. He encountered two groups of mutated birds.
Chen Xing looked at the grandson who had changed drastically from what he remembered, and Lao Huai comforted him: “It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back, grandpa has no skills and can’t save you, then Ye Xiao imprisoned you for half a year, I must make him pay the price! ”
Chen Xing was already in his sixties, but after the end of the world, he awakened his supernatural powers, and suddenly he was more than ten years younger, and his aura became more and more majestic, with two tiger eyes staring at him, which could scare people to death.
If it was the original Cai Chengliang, of course he would be very happy to hear this sentence, but now he is not, he is a brainwashed person, and the first person he hates in his mind has long been Min Yande. He gritted his teeth: “Grandpa, Ye Xiao can’t let it go, but the culprit is another person?”
“Who?”
“Min Yande, he ordered Ye Xiao to lock me up!”
Chen Xing frowned: “Why did he do that?”
Cai Chengliang’s mother next to him wiped away her tears and said, “Dad, can’t you see that? If Liang Zi doesn’t come back, you won’t have an heir. No matter how powerful you are, you will end up taking advantage of others.”
Chen Xing frowned even tighter, and glanced at Cai Chengliang, who was out of shape. To be honest, he really didn’t see Cai Chengliang as an heir. He was destined to be childless, and although he loved his daughter dearly, after all, her daughter was married off, and her grandson also took an outsider’s surname.
Before the apocalypse, he was a soldier, and he didn’t have any family business to be inherited. After the apocalypse, the situation changed, and he became more powerful, and he was also the number one figure in this huge capital base. Only then did he begin to think that it was time for him to need an heir.
At that time, Cai Chengliang had already fallen into Ye Xiao’s hands, several months had passed, and he no longer had any expectations for this grandson, he thought in his heart that he was already dead. At this time, his nephew Chen Xianyi frequently appeared in front of him. He loved the excellence of that child very much. Although he was not his own grandson, he was still his own child after all, so he began to bring him up by his side.
And now that his grandson is back, he hasn’t thought about being an heir.
Mother Cai gritted her teeth secretly when she saw his father’s expression, and said, seemingly unintentionally: “Where is Xianyi? His cousin is back, why is he missing? Oh, I forgot. His father seems to be sick again. This child is Filial piety, I wish I could be by his father’s side all day long.”
Chen Xing’s face changed slightly.
Chen Xianyi is filial, and Chen Xing likes to think that his nephew is filial, but the person he is most filial to is his father and his nephew. , is always going to die, once he dies, Chen Xianyi only has himself as an elder, so naturally he can only be filial to himself.
But now that Cai Chengliang is back, comparing the two, although Cai Chengliang is a grandson with a foreign surname, his mother is his only daughter, and his father has no elders, and the whole family relies on him…
Cai’s mother looked at her father’s face, and flirted with her husband. Cai’s father immediately understood, and then said: “No, speaking of it, General Min is also very concerned about our family’s affairs. Last time, he seemed to intercede personally. Let Dr. Liu come forward to hang Xianyi’s father, Xianyi seems to have mentioned it several times, saying that he is very grateful to General Min.”
As if Chen Xing glared at him fiercely, Father Cai immediately shut up, but his apparently sobering words still entered Chen Xing’s heart.
The nephew seems to have gotten too close to Min Yande, he didn’t care about it before, young people, being good at dancing is a good thing, and his connection with Min Yande is through Chen Xianyi. But if Min Yande deliberately detained Cai Chengliang to the south, the matter would become very subtle.
If Cai Chengliang came back smoothly, maybe there would be nothing wrong with Chen Xianyi. Because of Cai Chengliang’s accident, he felt that he had no successors, so he noticed Chen Xianyi.
Once a person follows a train of thought, he can’t stop doubting and imagining. The more Chen Xing thinks about it, the more ugly his face becomes. So when Min Yande’s people came to ask about Shenji, he didn’t give him any face. To put it bluntly, that magic machine has nothing to do with Min Yande.
He said: “That pilot is from Min Yande, so get rid of it.” Then he asked Cai Chengliang, “Are there any people you brought back who can fly magic planes?”
Cai Chengliang said: “No.”
“No, it’s okay. Didn’t our people also participate in pilot training? Find someone to give me emergency training for those people. Remember, the people who came back with the magic machine are those people, and they have nothing to do with Min Yande! ”
Chen Xing snorted coldly and said, Min Yande don’t want to use any excuses to take this magic machine back! This thing is in his hands, and you want him to hand it over with just a few words? dream! Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, thinking about something,
In another place, next to Shenji, four mercenaries who came back with Cai Chengliang were waiting anxiously under the guard of some soldiers.
The task of the four of them is to “rescue” Wu Lin, and cooperate with Cai Chengliang to escape back to the capital by taking a magic machine, creating an illusion that he escaped through all kinds of hardships, and then it is best to lurk by his side.
Now that they have successfully arrived, the next thing is to see if they can stay.
Even if they can’t, as long as they leave safely, their task is considered complete, and Ye Xiao will do what they promised.
Next to them was Wu Lin, who kept lobbying these people in a low voice: “Are you stupid? What can you do if you follow Cai Chengliang? You should listen to me and follow me to Admiral Min. It’s better to go now.” It’s too late, the magic machine starts up so fast, they can’t catch up.”
Sister Ni said coldly: “Shut up, we wouldn’t have taken you if it wasn’t for your ability to drive the magic machine. It would be nice to come out alive.”
Wu Lin was still about to say something, when suddenly someone came over, the leader looked at the five people, and pointed at Wu Lin: “You are Wu Lin, take him away.”
The people behind him rushed forward, subdued Wu Lin, covered his mouth and dragged him away like a dead dog. The leader said to the four of them, “Four of you come with me.”
The four looked at each other, and Sister Ni asked hoarsely, “Where are you going? What are you doing?”
This person was a little surprised that the one who spoke was the only woman among the four. It seemed that this woman must be very capable.
He didn’t mean to be contemptuous, he just said: “Go and learn how to drive the magic machine, you have rescued Young Master Cai, Young Master Cai has given orders, I will not treat you badly.”
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and walked away together.
Sister Ni walked in silence, and suddenly remembered what the man said to her in the interrogation room a few days ago: “The reason why you came here is for the right to purchase the Shenji?”
“Yes.”
“why?”
“My family is on the other side of the ocean. I want to find them. Ordinary planes can’t go there.”
The man showed a slightly surprised expression: “So that’s the case, but the current magic machine doesn’t have the ability to sail long distances, and neither the energy shield nor the energy cannon can last long.”
She was bitter in her heart, and she knew this, but she could only hope for a miracle.
The man said: “When you say you want to do things for us, you probably hope that we can improve the magic machine even better, so that one day we can cross the ocean.”
She licked her lips and said nervously, “Yes.”
“Then from today, you can start accumulating contribution points. I have a dangerous task here that may even have no results. Are you willing to do it? If you are willing to accept it, I will give you priority when the improvement of the magic machine is completed in the future.” right to buy.”
Sister Ni looked at the other three people, and she knew that these three people must have their own requirements, and this requirement can only be fulfilled in the fastest and most sure way by listening to Ye Xiao’s words, so the four of them will never betray Ye Xiao, the one who sabotaged the plan, from this point of view, they are very reliable and trustworthy to each other.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, and saw a group of people get off the car from a distance and walked into the gate aggressively. She recognized the fat man surrounded by people as Min Yande. Seeing the black face looking for faults, she couldn’t help admiring Ye Xiao from the bottom of her heart. From a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship, the two parties have created a rift.
And the gap will only widen in the future.
…
“So, everything is just a play. You made such a show, sending away Cai Chengliang and Shenji, just to make yourself disagree?” Lin Tantan asked this sentence at the Ningshi base.
Ye Xiao smiled wryly: “Yes, when did you find out it was just a show?”
Lin Tantan shrugged his shoulders: “I just feel that something is wrong. You are not an idiot. You can let people take such a big plane away in broad daylight so blatantly. After thinking about it, you deliberately transferred most people Go out, let the compound be empty? You deliberately blurred your actions, so that most people don’t know where you are. By the way, you took me out of the base, didn’t you also do it on purpose?”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Yes, I’m worried that if you see the magic machine go to the sky, and you know that it’s not me, then pull it down with a rope.”
Lin Tantan: “…” Don’t call her so barbaric.
“But isn’t the magic machine very important, why send it back?”
Ye Xiao said: “We have thoroughly researched the magic machine, and we are about to create a new magic machine. It is difficult to hide such a big move of setting up a factory. That is to tell everyone that we not only got the magic machine, but also imitated it.” Make more magic tricks…many people can’t sit still.”
Xu Qin, Jiang Xiaotian, and some other experts were responsible for exploring a part of the magic mechanism. In just twenty days, they worked day and night to figure out this thing. Afterwards, Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian were even more inspired. In addition to the design of the energy cannon, there are also new ideas on the structure of the energy shield and other aspects, and the realization of these ideas is difficult to carry out on the original magic machine, and it is inevitable to create a new magic machine.
So it’s better to let out the old magic machine that they dismantled, reinstalled, dismantled, and remodeled, so that it is about to fall apart, so that some people can relax their vigilance, and then they can safely produce new ones here. .
Under the existing conditions, no one would believe that they could produce a new machine out of thin air without the prototype.
Lin Tantan understood: “It turned out to be like this, but I was really surprised that you let Cai Chengliang go by the way. I thought you would imprison him for the rest of his life. Wouldn’t he take revenge on us? And Meimei knew this something?”
Ye Xiaoxin said, Cai Chengliang didn’t do it by the way, he asked Cai Chengliang to go back and stage a trick for Chen Xing, his main purpose was to sow dissension, and the magic trick was incidental, otherwise he could have directly destroyed the magic trick , why bother to let it fly back thousands of miles.
But it’s okay to let her feel that way.
He said: “Meimei knows it, and he agrees. Besides, Cai Chengliang has been brainwashed. The person he hates the most now is Min Yande, not me.”
Lin Tantan was surprised for a moment, and then he understood: “You took Zhang Jiujiu away to let her do this?”
Ye Xiao nodded: “We have roughly figured out the rules of Zhang Jiujiu’s new ability. Her so-called brainwashing ability is only temporary for normal people. Her two friends have gradually recovered from the brainwashed memories. Woke up.”
“Then Cai Chengliang?”
“Cai Chengliang is different. He has been imprisoned for half a year, and his mind is already abnormal. Even without brainwashing, he can be easily hypnotized or guided. Therefore, for him, the brainwashing effect is likely to be permanent.”
Ye Xiao said: “In short, now that Chen and Min are at odds, Min Yande has no time to find fault for the time being, and we also have more time to plan carefully, where the base should be located in the future.”
Lin Tantan immediately took his train of thought away: “Have you got a clue?”
Ye Xiao said: “Come with me.”
He took Lin Tantan to Cheng Qinan.
