In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 389: Rookies and Famine

This is the thirteenth day of Wang Jixuan's retreat.

Zhou Zhengde stared at the middle-aged man in the room through the one-way glass window.

There was a middle-aged woman wearing a loose hospital gown, currently enjoying a massage service from two maids.

Although it is one-way glass, it is also equipped with a curtain inside.

And this is not a prison cell, but a villa located on the surface, and nearby is the headquarters of the D5 integrated war zone.

Zhou Zhengde raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

He actually felt that the world was full of unfairness.

He works so hard every day and only sleeps six and a half hours a day; the uncle in front of him does not have to do anything but is now enjoying the super-standard treatment of human civilization. Before, he was just an engineer who was good at slacking off.

Instead of running here for half a day, he might as well find a place to have a quiet sleep.

The sound of high heels tapping could be heard nearby.

Zhou Zhengde crossed his arms and turned his head to look.

He was relatively familiar with the person who came. It was Shen Qionglin who had just returned from underground. She was petite but well-proportioned. She was also considered a celebrity at the headquarters in recent times.

"Professor Shen," Zhou Zhengde greeted with a smile.

Shen Qionglin nodded slightly, put his hands in the loose pockets of his white coat, and walked to the glass window to look inside.

She said: "Don't worry, the progress of the fusion of this experimental individual is normal."

Zhou Zhengde smiled and said, "I'm not worried about this. This is just a branch of our many technological lines. Professor Shen's psychic armor has now been equipped with six assault brigades. This is a huge improvement for us."

“We still cannot ignore the role of spiritual practitioners.”

Shen Qionglin said:

"Are you here to ask about Teacher Wang's recent situation?"

"Well," Zhou Zhengde said, "I'm a little worried about him, and this information is top secret, so I can't check it. I thought you just came back from the center of the earth three days ago, so I came to see you."

Shen Qionglin said: "Don't worry, he has always been very good, and he will be the focus and the core wherever he goes."

Zhou Zhengde raised his eyebrows.

Professor Shen seemed a little unhappy when he heard this.

Zhou Zhengde asked: "Did he say when he would be back?"

"He didn't mention that," Shen Qionglin said, "He just said he was in seclusion with Gao Huating and Amina, and it was said that he was practicing dual cultivation."

Zhou Zhengde perked up: "Is it true or not?"

"It should be true."

Shen Qionglin smiled:

“He is now dominated by the devil’s heart, and he will not feel any burden even if he kills or burns people, let alone just a little relationship between a man and a woman.

“What is the situation now?

“I just heard from them that the Blade Beast is making a move again.

"I guess this is why they asked me to bring the four puppet assistants here in advance."

Puppet teaching assistant?
Zhou Zhengde really hadn't heard this top-secret news.

"what is that?"

"A relic of an ancient civilization that is similar to a fully automatic machine," Shen Qionglin raised his glasses. "It's amazing. They have been in the Cloud City for hundreds of thousands of years without any signs of decay, but when they leave the Cloud City, they immediately start to rust... I'm now worried whether they can work smoothly for three months."

Zhou Zhengde glanced at his watch.

"Okay, I feel relieved knowing that he's okay. I have a meeting later... Is there anything I can do for you personally? Professor Shen, you don't have to be polite to me."

Shen Qionglin asked: "Didn't Xiang Tiantian come with you?"

"I'm here more for official business, and she's protecting that fort."

"Well," Shen Qionglin said with some regret, "The snacks she made are pretty good. Next time if you come to visit this new spiritual practitioner, you can bring some of her snacks."

"completely fine."

Zhou Zhengde turned his head and looked at the uncle again.

The latter changed his posture and began to watch some precious videotapes left over from the golden age of mankind.

Zhou Zhengde asked in a low voice: "Do you think he can risk his life for humanity?"

"Who knows?" Shen Qionglin said, "Why did you choose him? You should ask Ms. Amina. It's probably just a probability."

Zhou Zhengde felt depressed when he thought about this.

"Brother Wang helped me improve my physique twice, but I still couldn't resonate with him. Maybe this is my fate."

"Hmm," Shen Qionglin said, "What you get by luck will eventually be marked with a price by fate. Only what you get by your own efforts will not be taken away easily."

"alright."

Zhou Zhengde shook his head.

Although it is regrettable, it is not a big deal. Working in different positions is a contribution to the survival of mankind.

Shen Qionglin said: "You can tell the top management of D5 that if the Blade Beasts attack again, please let me know as soon as possible before the battle begins."

"Okay," Zhou Zhengde nodded solemnly without asking why.

He didn't say or ask any more questions, and just looked at the leisurely middle-aged man a few more times.

He is the successor of Wanda's core circuit, which was just confirmed not long ago. It has not been made public yet and is just "stored" here as a secret weapon.

According to Amina, the fusion with the core circuit will be very painful, and this pain will probably last for five to six hundred days and nights;

But looking at this uncle...

The painful smile was a little too exaggerated.

……

at the same time.

Within the Arctic Circle, there is a human city where the lights are still bright.

Aunt Dragonfly stood in front of the French window with her arms folded, watching the lively parade on the ground.

People are protesting, protesting because they can't get enough food.

There were two pieces of soft bread on the desk behind Aunt Dragonfly. This was the basic supply that psychics like them could get.

The famine was getting worse.

Aunt Dragonfly was not sure whether this was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

She happened to be one of the officials in charge of material distribution in the Psychic City, and naturally she was one of the few people who knew all this best.

How to say it;

Now they really wanted to crush a steamed bun, mix it with the fish meat, and make ten fish buns...

Aunt Dragonfly has done a lot to solve the current problem of food shortage.

Including but not limited to, increasing the number of greenhouses, improving agricultural electricity consumption, introducing excellent grain varieties cultivated in the fortress, etc.

But all this takes time;
If the food gap cannot be filled within 20 days, hundreds of thousands of people here will really starve to death.

The extremely cold environment outside also means that people cannot move on their own. If they go out as refugees, they will soon be swallowed up by the extreme cold, and there are no supply points outside.

Nowadays, although it has not reached the point of cannibalism, some unknown corpses have appeared in the corners of the city, and a lot of flesh and blood are missing from the corpses...

Aunt Dragonfly sighed.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Aunt Dragonfly frowned slightly because she sensed a somewhat strange breath, and a familiar breath.

She felt a little disgusted by this familiar smell.

The door of the room opened and a man and a woman walked in.

The man was naturally Meng Jin, wearing his signature golden suit. He bowed politely to Aunt Qingting.

Meng Jin said in a gentle voice: "Is Minister Mai looking at the scenery?"

“If the anger and powerlessness of the people can be called scenery, then I am indeed appreciating it.”

Aunt Dragonfly said calmly:
"Deputy Captain Meng is here, I wonder what's the matter?

"Could it be that Deputy Commander Meng has negotiated a new source of food with the military?"

"I don't have that ability." Meng Jin also sighed, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes:

“I didn’t expect that the Psychic City could be defeated so easily… All they had to do was shut down the food supply channel and use some lame excuse to tell us that there was a famine in the fortress.

"And then they just ripped up the contract.

"It's a pity that the blade beast meat cannot be eaten, otherwise it would be a good opportunity next time."

"Good opportunity?" Aunt Dragonfly asked with a frown.

"The blade beast has taken action."

Meng Jin smiled:
“It is expected that the Blade Beasts will launch a large-scale raid within two to three days. We have detected traces of a large number of Blade Beasts being mobilized.

"They are conducting a large-scale operation towards the D8 integrated theater.

"With four active pillar blade beasts and two rapidly awakening pillar blade beasts, we will form six pillar combat forces."

"Why?" Mai Qingting asked, "Isn't the Blade Beast afraid of Wang Zheng's evil spirit?"

“We don’t know that.”

Meng Jin shook his head:
“But I want to remind Minister Mai that the Black Storm is the enemy of our Psychic City.

"You are now a senior official of the Psionic City..."

Mai Qingting's eyes became sharper: "Let me correct you. Black Storm is the enemy of your ruling faction."

Meng Jin's expression was very cold for a moment, but he soon put on a smile and remembered his purpose.

"Come here," Meng Jin raised his hand to invite him in, his gestures very gentlemanly, "Let me introduce you, this is Minister Mai Qingting, the famous Auntie Dragonfly, a representative of the Natural School, and also a close friend of Black Storm."

Then Meng Jin used his sexy bass voice and said with a little exaggeration:

"Irresponsibly speaking, Big Mom herself is a mountain in our Psychic City.

"The greater the influence of Black Storm, the more stable her position will be."

Aunt Dragonfly sneered and said calmly: "Perhaps you should change your mindset and think about how to ask Black Storm for your life. The two spiritual practitioners have already reconciled with Black Storm. Do you need me to remind you again?"

"Of course not," Meng Jin pointed to the girl he brought.

Aunt Dragonfly looked at the girl.

She was wearing a pure white dress, and perhaps due to the power fluctuations of an A-level awakened psychic, she seemed to radiate a strong affinity from the inside out.

A beam of holy light seemed to envelop her, bringing the blessings of those illusory gods.

This girl's appearance is also among the best, no wonder Meng Jin is so attentive to her.

Are you interested?
Meng Jin said: "This is Miss Wan Linqian. She will be your deputy from now on."

"We don't need any more people to monitor me. Please report to the secretariat next door."

"Okay," Wan Linqian said softly, "Please take care of me, Minister Mai."

Meng Jin smiled and said, "You can report to the side. Don't be nervous. Everyone here is ours. We psychics just have political differences... I have something to discuss with Minister Mai."

"Well, thank you, Brother Meng."

Wan Linqian spoke in a delicate voice.

Meng Jin smiled with satisfaction.

He likes to hear this name.

After Wan Linqian left, Meng Jin's smile disappeared quickly and he stared at Aunt Qingting.

"Mai Qingting, I have no intention of directly confronting you, but you'd better restrain yourself."

"uh-huh?"

The old lady held her swivel chair with both hands and looked at Meng Jin with a smile:

"Deputy Captain Meng can't hold it anymore?
"As the current situation continues, the fall of the ruling party is inevitable."

Meng Jin said coldly: "Why don't you sign the protein machine purchase plan? Do you want to see more people starve to death?"

Aunt Dragonfly smiled and said, "I can figure out what you want to do with my toes. The function of the protein machine is probably not just as simple as grinding fish meat."

"Insects, animals, these things are all sources of protein."

“So does the human body.”

“We are here to save people.”

"You are only trying to save those who support you."

"That's better than everyone starving to death here!"

"It was you who had a disagreement with the Alliance and insisted on plundering the scavenger camp! The Alliance cut off the food supply so that we could experience how the scavengers survive!"

"Stop pretending," Meng Jin said coldly, "This is the last time I ask this question. You'd better complete this signature as soon as possible."

Aunt Dragonfly did not back down: "You can settle accounts with me as you please."

Meng Jin nodded, turned and left.

Aunt Dragonfly breathed a sigh of relief.

She clicked her tongue and threaded her fingers through her messy long hair, fiddling with it anxiously.

Big Mom now hates her excellent perception ability;

She could always clearly hear the cries of those who were dying.

Ding ding.

A crisp bell rang from the drawer.

Aunt Dragonfly took out her special communicator. The familiar avatar on it made her feel a little more at ease.

[Da Mudan (loyal human minister): Auntie, what is the current situation? ]

[Mai Xiaomei (working cow): It's getting worse and worse. The ruling party is now facing huge pressure. I thought they wouldn't care about the lives of ordinary people.]

Ding ding.

[Big Peony: Uh, I'm asking about the deployment of the Blade Beasts. Has the war started? I'm currently inside this airtight ancient civilization ruins, and I'm worried that the commander-in-chief will only report good news and not bad news.]

【Mai Xiaomei: I have made some progress. 】

【Mai Xiaomei: Why did you all go to that kind of place? Am I out of touch with you? I am still here struggling to get food. 】

[Da Mudan: The famine in the Psychic City, right? Perhaps you can ask the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief has just obtained a batch of technologies from ancient civilizations, including how to remove the violent psychic energy in the blade beast meat. This is a technology I specially selected and can be promoted.]

Mai Qingting was cheered up.

She wanted to pick up the phone immediately, but reason quickly made her sober up.

This matter cannot be made too public.

The ruling faction of the Psionic City will not be grateful for the charity from the human military, but will only feel that this is what they deserve.

[Mai Xiaomei: Thank you for your reminder. This is a great help. I will ask the City of Psychic Power to buy back this technology later. By the way, how is Wang Zheng doing? ]

[Big Peony: The three of them just finished their dual cultivation. Xiao Hua Ting has just left the battlefield and is now a weak practitioner. Her dual cultivation with Amina is in full swing.]

Mai Qingting blinked and suddenly felt very regretful.

Master Wang is actually so open-minded.

She thought Wang Jixuan was a serious and honest guy! He didn't even dare to speak last time!
[Big Peony: Hehehe, don't get me wrong, this is a serious dual cultivation. If a war breaks out, please send me a message in time. Just a simple message will be enough. Xiaohua Ting said that the commander will be able to come out of seclusion in the next few days.]

【Mai Xiaomei: I understand.】

[Big Peony: My little sister is so good. ]

laugh.

Aunt Dragonfly rolled her eyes and stuffed the communicator back into the drawer.

She folded her arms and paced back and forth. Purchasing technology was urgent, and the price that the City of Psychic Power could offer was only for these so-called high-end combat forces.

On the other side, at Peony.

She jumped down from the spire, landed lightly on the ground, and hurried back to the palace complex where Wang Jixuan was.

There, two beams of pure white light shot up into the sky and were slowly approaching each other.

They didn't know what exactly happened inside. Gao Huating was also confused and couldn't understand what Wang Jixuan and Amina were doing.

Inside the two beams of light, Wang Jixuan and Amina put their hands against each other, and streams of colorful light rotated back and forth in their bodies, using their arms as bridges to transport them back and forth.

The two people's state of mind is the same.

An ancient well is as calm as never before, which is close to the Tao.
