Hengcheng is a small city located in the southeast region.
This is a very ordinary small town. What is ordinary is that, like other small towns that are difficult to find on the map, this small town does not have any mineral resources or a unique natural environment. In other words, this is a town of any kind.
A small town that even powerful forces are unwilling to touch.
This is also a very special city. The special thing is that, like many cities named after family names, this is a city where people from one family occupy most of the assets and population---most of the people here
Most of them have the surname Mu, and almost 90% of the housing assets on the street also have the surname Mu.
Even the Mu family themselves felt that it would be more appropriate to change the Mu family's headquarters to Mu City.
Although Mu Chengtian is a businessman, and to some extent, he can be regarded as a very high-level businessman, he does not like lively occasions. In his rare spare time, he prefers to be alone in the quiet place where he lives.
He wanted to stay here instead of like other caravan leaders who spent their free time enjoying life.
On this day, like any other day off, he was sitting quietly in the bamboo forest in the yard, sipping tea and listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest. It was the sound that he felt could best purify his soul.
Then the appearance of two uninvited guests broke the tranquility of the moment.
"Boss Mu, we are back."
It wasn't until one of them spoke that Mu Chengcai noticed that there were two more people in his room, and he was suddenly surprised and a little panicked.
When it comes to his own safety, he has always been lax on the surface and tight in the dark. As far as his current residence, he has arranged at least five secret posts to protect his safety. Thinking of this, Mu Chengtian couldn't help but look towards the nearest secret post.
.
"Don't look, we have cleaned up all your chess pieces for you. Don't worry, we don't mean any harm, they are just asleep." The visitor's voice was not loud, but Penguin revealed a strong confidence.
Mu Chengtian could tell that it was based on his strong self-confidence!
At this point, Mu Chengtian regained his usual composure.
The other party can sneak into his side silently, and can also bring down all the secret protectors without even realizing it. This strength is not something that is taken lightly.
Mu Chengtian was worthy of being a powerful man. He returned to normal in a short time. His hand when he picked up the tea cup did not tremble at all. Just like usual, he took a sip of his favorite tea and spoke calmly.
"Since you two have shown up, why don't you accompany me to have tea with me?"
After saying this, he tapped the antique tea tray, and a hole slowly opened in the middle. Two crystal clear light green teacups slowly rose up. Then, Mu Chengtian poured hot tea, and the teacups instantly
It has become extremely green and very beautiful.
"Green tea is a rare good thing in this era. Try it?" Mu Chengtian squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the uninvited guest who was mostly hidden in the bamboo forest, thinking about the visitor's intention.
The next moment, he swore that in just a blink of an eye, the two people suddenly appeared in front of him. However, what surprised him was not the ability to teleport, but the appearance of the person coming.
"You...it's you! Why are you back?"
Mu Chengtian was so surprised that he couldn't speak coherently and stammered what he felt.
"Oh? It seems that when Boss Mu sent my two brothers there, he didn't expect us to come back?"
These two uninvited guests were the same two people sent by Mu Chengtian to explore the entrance of the air-raid shelter!
"So we two brothers are so cheap? Boss Mu's reconnaissance cannon fodder?" The visitor's tone was sharp and he pressed forward step by step. Mu Chengtian, who was just an ordinary man, suddenly felt that the air around him was being squeezed towards him.
Come on, make him feel suffocated.
"Squeeze the air? Are these two people awakened? Or are they elemental powers? Didn't you say they were just ordinary people back then?" Xiang Feiyu was the first to ask the question.
"The two of them were indeed ordinary people at the beginning, without any talent for awakening powers, but it was indeed the two of them that day, and the power of squeezing the air was also released by one of them." Mu Chengtian smiled bitterly.
Explained something.
"Don't interrupt, wait until he finishes speaking." Maria rolled her eyes at Feiyu and signaled Old Man Mu to continue.
Mu Chengtian nodded and continued.
At that time, I thought they came back to kill me. After all, the salary for temporary recruits like them was not much, and the people below also took advantage of it.
Just when I was about to be suffocated to death, another person next to me said something that instantly revived me.
"That's enough. We're here to send a message. Don't kill people. It's hard to explain."
As soon as this person spoke, the other person immediately stopped talking, which made me a little strange. As far as I know, the person who just spoke was obviously his elder brother, but when his younger brother spoke, he felt like he was instructing his subordinates, and
I can feel that there is a coldness in this brother's words when he speaks. It's not his tone of voice, but the coldness that he feels personally.
Hearing this, Li Yi and Xiang Feiyu couldn't help but look at each other. Mu Chengtian's words reminded them of an acquaintance.
Mu Chengtian continued: "I asked since you are here to deliver a message, just say it. I didn't have any room to resist at that time. Think about it, the five hidden sentries have been pulled out, and the people guarding all around are completely
If you don’t know, you can imagine that the other party is not here to kill anyone.”
Then the brother who was obviously more powerful said this.
"We have a new product here, and we hope you can help open up sales."
"New product? Sales volume?" After hearing these puzzling words, Li Yi looked at Mu Chengtian: "Have you asked them about their origins?"
Mu Chengtian smiled bitterly: "In that situation, how could I dare to ask too many questions? I just kept agreeing." As he said that, Mu Chengtian took out a colorful small box from his pocket, and Maria said
When I saw this thing, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I unconsciously came forward and stared at it with burning eyes.
This move immediately aroused Li Yi's curiosity: "Maria, do you know this thing?"
"Yes!" Maria nodded like a fool: "The candies here are very delicious. Uncle, do you sell these?"
Mu Chengtian glanced at her, was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "This thing is not for sale, this is the sample the two brothers gave me."
Xiang Feiyu, who was about to reach out for it, stopped his hand in mid-air when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes: "You said this was given to you by the people behind the two brothers? I gave you a box of candies for you.
To promote?"
"To be precise, it's what's inside."
Mu Chengtian opened the package and revealed a small black pill inside, and then explained: "When the two brothers handed the thing to me, they repeatedly emphasized that it was a kind of food. They also said that if you don't believe it, you can take it.
Detection.”
"But how could I believe it easily? I still took it for testing, but the test results showed that everything was normal. Except for the high sugar content, this is just an ordinary candy."
"So I relied on some connections and found the best-selling candy manufacturer on the market to design and produce the packaging."
"However, when I think back to that scene, I have always been undecided to promote this kind of candy. It was really strange that the other person came to visit me."
"Are you afraid that this thing will have consequences that you can't bear?" Li Yi revealed Mu Chengtian's thoughts in one word. Li Yi knew the businessman's thoughts best.
Seek profit, but don't like trouble.
Of course, if the benefits are big enough, they don't mind actively causing trouble.
The reason why Boss Mu said this was probably because he thought that what the other party offered was not enough for him to make an exception.
"Mr. Li is right. I was really worried about the consequences that I couldn't bear. So after that, I sent several waves of people to try to find the entrance to the air-raid shelter. It was okay this time.
, everyone came back on time, but everyone’s reports were exactly the same.”
"There's no such thing as a bomb shelter!"
"The entrance to the air raid shelter that had appeared before mysteriously disappeared!"
"What!?"
This news shocked everyone present, except Li Yi.
He was thinking about the elusive underground air-raid shelter... Why did he seem to have heard of it somewhere?
...
...
At this time, in a desolate desert, the wind and sand were rolling, and there was no trace of any living creatures.
The deserts in this world symbolize death, cold, and despair.
High temperatures of up to 80 degrees during the day almost cut off the possibility of water sources.
At night, the temperature will instantly drop to more than 30 degrees below zero.
The extreme temperature difference between day and night and death are the main themes of this desert.
However, on this day, at the hottest time at noon, there was sudden movement in this deserted desert.
The yellow sand rustled down, and after a while, a huge black thing emerged from the middle of the mountain formed by the accumulation of yellow sand.
The appearance of this huge mechanical body is no different from that of an ordinary RV. The only difference is that there is a pair of huge sharp drill bits on the head.
From the appearance, this huge machine looks more like a large drilling machine.
This large drilling machine worked hard to climb out of the desert surface, and as most of the machine's body was exposed to the surface, some transparent liquid was sprayed out from the bottom.
Then, a miracle happened.
As the transparent liquid seeped in, the surrounding soft sand dunes gradually began to solidify and compact. In just a few minutes, they solidified themselves into a dune platform for drilling machines to park!
Finally, the large drilling machine stopped smoothly on the self-made sand dune platform. Then a small door opened from the inside, and an old man with a frail figure wearing large black-rimmed glasses, but with unusually bright eyes under the glasses walked out.
came out.
The temperature at this time reached the peak of 80 degrees during the day, but the old man seemed not to notice it. For him, it was rare to have a chance to breathe a breath of fresh air, even if it was boiling hot.
"Ah! What a wonderful air. Phew, breathing and circulating oxygen for a long time makes my brain go fuzzy. I should have come up for some fresh air." The old man said to himself.
"What are we going to do next... By the way, let's have a BBQ!" He patted his thigh and quickly came up with an idea.
With a snap of his fingers, small server robots filed out one after another, their robotic arms carrying various ingredients and began to work.
The old man was wandering around leisurely, looking at the barren desert with interest. For him, even the desert scene that symbolized death was a rare scenery for him.
Didi didi!
"Is it done?" He became excited and was about to indulge in a feast, but found that the message sent was not to remind him that the barbecue party was about to start.
This is a message that is both strange and familiar.
The strange reason is that it has always been difficult for him to think of things other than work.
As for the familiarity, it was because the robot assistant on the side reminded me that this was indeed a task he had sent out.
"Oh?" After reading the text message, his original displeasure at being disturbed was gone. He excitedly opened his watch, pressed a button, and a three-dimensional projection suddenly appeared in front of him. The projection bowed slightly to him.
Indicate.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly. It's good news."
"As the master expected, the 'source' has come into contact with the target person."
"real?!"
"Absolutely true."
"That's good, let's implement it quickly." The man was very excited, scratching his head and ears like a child, and seemed impatient.
Unexpectedly, the projection shook his head: "It's not enough yet, there are still things that are not in place."
"Isn't it happening simultaneously? What went wrong?" The man seemed a little impatient. He couldn't wait any longer, and his tone was hysterical.
"No! Execute it immediately. If I stay like this, I will go crazy."
The projection was silent for a while and bowed again: "Okay, as you wish, my master."
