Chapter 816: New Bond, Heading to the Far North!
Tianyuan Territory, Baoyu County.
Red lanterns have been hung on the streets, and the new buildings rising from the ground are brightly lit.
Children wearing new clothes are running happily on the streets, even if it is freezing cold, their little faces are red with cold but they don't feel it.
The snow has stopped, although it is still piled up at the end of the alley and has not melted, but people's hearts are warm, making the whole city full of warmth.
The top of the building of Zizai Group.
Huang Xiaojuan, Sun Quan, Zhang Min, Zhang Bowen, and Wang Qian are standing in front of the barbecue grill, grilling all kinds of ingredients.
In the distance, several chef disciples that Pei Shao had brought with them were also turning the oil pan, constantly serving various delicious foods.
In the center of the top, a round table was set up, and a lot of tea and snacks had been served on it.
Su Mo sat in the main seat, eating melon seeds while listening to the chattering of several people around him.
"You think if we do this to them, these people won't really get sick, right? Especially when I went to see this group of people yesterday, they were so angry that I almost wanted to laugh out loud." Thinking of the depressed look of the group of people when he went to the investigation team yesterday, Feng Long laughed out loud.
"What else? They came to investigate the blood plague, but now we directly tell them that we have made research results on the blood plague. These people must be mad. I think we still have to increase the confidentiality of our Poseidon reagents, otherwise it will be bad if they are stolen by these people." Feng Tianmin also agreed wholeheartedly.
"These days, I feel that my condition is getting better and better. If I find another opportunity, I must let them know that I am far from old!"
He raised his arms, gestured his strong arms, and showed his biceps, which instantly made the people around him laugh.
Since the injection of Poseidon cells with recovery genes, the marks left by time on humans have finally begun to be repaired one after another.
Although it still cannot achieve the legendary immortality, it can keep everyone's energy and state of youth until old age.
This is already a very buggy ability.
Almost all the people who were injected were very satisfied.
Of course, except Chen Shen and Su Mo.
Because Chen Shen was the first person to be injected, the Academy of Sciences forced him to develop his ability limit as much as possible in order to test the strength.
More than half a month, more than ten speeches have exhausted him.
If it weren't for the stimulation of the increasingly good situation in Tianyuan Territory and the blessing of recovery ability, he would not be able to sit at the table and share this New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.
And Su Mo, because he couldn't help it these days, he tried again on the basis of recovery.
At present, another spell that can be blessed on genes has been explored by him.
Adaptation.
It can make humans more adaptable to extreme environments, and they can be unaffected in the cold and freezing weather, and they can also be at ease in the hot summer.
Although this ability is not stronger than recovery in some aspects, its appearance allows Su Mo to see more possibilities.
Unfortunately, the time left in this world is not enough.
It is already early February, and there are still three months before he leaves here.
"Recovery and adaptation are based on Poseidon cells. If they want to steal, let them steal. There is no need to guard against them strictly."
"With the existing technology, they cannot develop the first generation of cells. It is better to spread our Poseidon cells more widely to leave the last fire for mankind." Su Mo said calmly: "Are there any news about the people who are promoting the blood plague ability in our territory?"
There is no smoke without fire. More and more people with abilities can no longer restrain their warlike desires and start to attack their own people frequently.
Those who know the inside story know that this is a serious side effect of the blood plague, which is almost impossible to alleviate.
But for ordinary people below, they still think that the ability users are too strong, so they plunder others.
If you want to resist, you must also become an ability user.
This wrong concept has been rapidly raging in major territories in recent times, and even the three major territories are no exception.
Su Mo would rather think that this is a rumor spread by the ability users in order to expand the group, but the fact is
"We have found out that it is a group of traders who came with the ship from the southern part of the New World"
"I have sent people to keep an eye on them. As long as they leave the port, we will soon find out the truth." Bao Lei replied respectfully: "But as far as the information we share now is concerned, the Dragon Flag Territory has basically determined that the five royal families that disappeared before are causing trouble."
"Five royal families?" Chen Shen put down his chopsticks and drank the wine in the glass.
"Since the director killed all their ancestors, there has been no news for many years. Why do they jump out again at this juncture?"
In terms of intelligence alone, the intelligence capabilities of the Supervision Department are very excellent only within the territory.
But when it comes to the outside world, the Supervision Department is out of reach.
The three territories have many people and many spies, and the information they provide can basically be confirmed to be correct.
But these five royal families
"This group of people is not easy to deal with. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is not easy to unite against the enemy at this chaotic moment." Feng Tianmin frowned. Since the appearance of the high mountains on the border, it has indeed relieved a lot of pressure in the war zone, so that Tianyuan Port has also been garrisoned for defense.
But if you want to go to the outside world to fight, now is not a good time, it is easy to become the target of public criticism.
Not only did you not get any advantage, but your hometown was also stolen.
"We can only speed up the production of our Sea God cells, and try to get all the people in the territory injected to prevent the influx of the blood plague virus from the outside world.
Only by doing a good job of defense can we have a chance to fight back." Su Mo nodded and gave his opinion.
Others also responded one after another and agreed with this view.
In the past, a small foreign county magistrate would never have such a say, but such things have happened a lot recently.
After realizing that Chen Shen had a purpose to push Su Mo to the position of acting lord, the others were also very sensible and quickly adapted to these changes.
After chatting for a while about the prospects for the future development of the territory, the wind around them also quieted down.
When everyone returned to the table and looked at the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Mo suddenly laughed.
He spent the last Lunar New Year in Candlelight Village and ate a meal of dumplings that made people unforgettable for a long time.
He thought he would spend the next Lunar New Year in his own Hope Village.
Unexpectedly, fate played tricks on people.
"County Magistrate Su, before the meal, don't you say a few words?" Chen Shen joked with a grin.
Looking at the familiar yet strange face sitting in front of him, his memory suddenly became a little fuzzy, as if he was facing the figure that had disappeared for too long.
Sometimes, he really wanted to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
Sometimes, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting a disappointing answer.
Sometimes, Chen Shen was content.
At least now, at this time of family happiness, smelling the strong New Year's flavor from the tip of his nose, he was very satisfied.
"Say a few words?" Su Mo smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and stood up.
"In the new year, I wish you, me, everyone, and everyone in our territory to live in peace!"
"Okay!" Feng Long stood up, regardless of other things, first drank the wine in his glass, and loudly supported the joke.
Others also stood up one after another: "I wish we can survive!"
Simple wishes.
It hit the softness in everyone's hearts.
After a New Year's Eve dinner, Su Mo was a little drunk, and the people next to him were even more confused.
At this moment, no one thought about how to spend tomorrow, how to develop the territory in the future, and how to deal with those troubles.
They just sat on the stools, bragging wantonly, and talking about some interesting stories in the wasteland.
After the New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock, Su Mo staggered back to the third floor of the laboratory next to the building with the help of Huang Xiaojuan and Zhang Min, occupying a whole floor of luxurious super-large bedroom.
"Xiaojuan, you go back, I will take care of your brother." After changing out of the professional suit and putting on a light gray sweater and jeans for the first time in a long time, Zhang Min rolled up her hair and showed a gentle smile: "Sun Quan is still waiting for you outside."
"Oh, Sister Zhang, you just..." Huang Xiaojuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she lowered her head shyly: "Then please sister Zhang Min, I'll slip away first!"
Huang Xiaojuan ran away, obviously having been drunk by Sun Quan and fell in love.
However, watching her leaving, Zhang Min's eyes flashed with envy.
"You go back, I don't need to be taken care of by myself"
Lying on the bed, with the help of Zhang Min, Su Mo took off his clothes half drunk and half awake, turned over comfortably, and said politely with the last bit of rationality left.
However, the pair of flexible and warm little hands did not leave immediately, but continued to grope on him.
"You" Su Mo subconsciously grabbed the little hand and opened his eyes slightly.
But the next second, his words were blocked in his throat, and a cold feeling came up.
Accompanied by the dexterity of a little snake
"I am willing, I am willing, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything!"
The graceful feeling disappeared as soon as it was touched. Just when Su Mo was still sighing in intoxication, Zhang Min's trembling voice came over.
At this moment, Su Mo's drunkenness was immediately frightened away by three points: "You don't understand, I can't give you anything, your home is not with me"
"No, some people are born without a home. After meeting you, I am sure that I will never see another you in this life!"
"I have regretted it for half a year, and I don't want to regret it anymore, even if there is no future!"
Su Mo raised his head and looked at the woman lying in his arms, as docile as a kitten, with some surprise.
For the first time, he felt that he seemed to be too alienated from this world, fearing that he would leave traces of his existence.
But he accidentally aroused the emotions of too many people and firmly rooted his figure in their memories.
"Even if it's only for this night, you don't regret it?"
"I will never regret it. Life is a hurried journey. If I hadn't met you, maybe I don't know who to give the grievance to now."
"Okay!"
Su Mo slightly exerted his arms and hugged the woman in his arms tightly.
The morning sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the long-term biological clock made Su Mo wake up on time.
Looking at Zhang Min, who was lying beside him on the previously empty bed, bending over and hugging her arms tightly.
He still felt somewhat guilty.
Just because of the desire after being drunk, he once again deepened the bond in this relic world that he was about to leave.
"Is this really a virtual world?"
Su Mo stood up, wearing a bathrobe and standing at the French window looking out.
The sun was shining and the morning light was dim.
The light wind blew through the withered and yellow weeds on the ground and flowed freely in the building.
Yesterday, the deserted streets were bustling with people again, and there were hawkers pushing carts to sell goods everywhere.
This place is too real, so real that people can't tell the difference from reality.
Su Mo's mind was full of thoughts. Yesterday, he was still wondering if there would be a chance to return to this relic world again.
But now, looking at all the beauty in front of him, he has suddenly decided.
If possible, here, he will do everything possible to turn it into the second base of the real world.
If the real world is devoted to the development of technology, then here, it will be fully invested in biological mutation.
One road is too narrow and it is not smooth to walk.
Two roads, he wants to take both!
Three days later.
Tianyuan Port, VIP Wharf A-1 area exclusively for the people of Xi Tianyuan Territory.
A brand new large ship is anchored at the coast, and Bao Lei and his men are hurriedly moving supplies onto the ship.
There are cold-resistant supplies, boxes of Poseidon cells, and many gifts from Tianyuan Territory to the Adventurer Alliance.
The elite sailors drawn from the Tianyuan Navy have also replaced those recruited by Dongyue Vulcan.
Soon, everything was ready, and Bao Lei sent an "ok" signal.
"Okay, I'll send you a thousand miles away, but we must say goodbye. This time I only planned to rest for a few days before setting off."
"I didn't expect that almost a month has passed. Time flies!"
Standing up from the VIP lounge, looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Su Mo smiled and nodded.
"Be careful, Emperor, you know, although we are our own people, we still have to be careful of accidents along the way." Chen Shen stood up and coughed lightly.
"Don't worry, it's still our previous plan. Everyone will do their own things and see you in a month!"
Everyone sent Su Mo out of the VIP room and eagerly sent him on board.
Seeing such a scene, the three Dongyue people shrank their heads and quickly whistled down to the bottom of the deck.
Under the gaze of dozens of expectant eyes, Su Mo responded one by one, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhang Min.
"I'm leaving."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
The cruel wasteland world doesn't care about romance, nor does it have any love.
A simple sentence of "waiting for you to come back" is better than a thousand words.
Su Mo opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he could only nod sullenly and stepped onto the ship.
Boom!
The melodious whistle sounded like a farewell horn. As the hook was released and the anchor was retracted, the ship began to gradually move away from the dock.
Facing the morning wind, the sails began to swell, bringing abundant power.
Following the river, the ship gradually began to disappear from everyone's sight, and finally disappeared completely.
"Go back, County Magistrate Su has ambitions in all directions, and should not be as confined to this small territory as we are"
"All we can do is do our job well and wait for him to come back!"
Seeing that the people around him were in low spirits, Chen Shen had to encourage him.
But this word, even he himself could not encourage, naturally it had no effect on others.
The group walked back along the way they came, and soon left the dock.
However, just as they left, several seemingly ordinary ships came out of the river behind them.
These ships were marked as carrying cargo, but their speed was obviously not in line with the cargo speed.
Moreover, the direction they were chasing was exactly the direction Su Mo left.
