Chapter 1658 Treasure

Qu Jianlei finally understood why the empire's attitude toward itself was getting worse and worse.

First of all, we must admit that this is driven by interests. Without a conflict of interest, no matter how clever the alienation tactic is, it will be useless.

But there is no doubt that the alliance's alienating tactics have contributed to the situation.

The Digital Phantom has offended many interest groups in the empire, but if no one takes the lead, it will be a mess.

No one is willing to step forward and act as a vanguard against them. The risk of doing so is too great.

When profit comes first, everyone wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and no one is willing to take chestnuts from the fire for others.

In this case, if someone is willing to secretly organize a wave, the results will be completely different.

Let's put it this way, many countries in Blue Star, at different historical periods, would prohibit forming parties and associations, and the punishments would be very severe.

The reason is nothing more than organization or lack of organization.

Qu Jianlei and the two uncovered a mystery that was not a mystery, and at the same time, Lawrence also received news.

This news is a bit embarrassing, "The mysterious existence on Thumb Peak seems to have many treasures."

When Lawrence told the news, a plastic toy snake loomed on Qu Jianlei's wrist.

He and Jing Yuexin looked at each other without any expression on their faces.

What's interesting is that Taoist Jiao didn't use his spiritual consciousness to defend himself, as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Lawrence thought that the other party didn't believe it, so he couldn't help but speak again.

"You two should know that the thumb peak is where the steamroller is, right?"

Qu Jianlei heard this title not once or twice recently, and knew that it was a nickname given to Taoist Jiao.

In fact, very few people know that Jiao Daoren's body is a snake. Most people think that he is a human race.

The divine system and the awakened ones are both human cultivation systems. This is the consensus of everyone, and it can be confirmed by a lot of data.

It's a pity that the former comes from outside the world, so the two systems are not the same.

Qu Jianlei was also unsure why the alliance did not disclose Daoist Jiao's image to the outside world.

I guess it's just because I'm worried about having a bad impact or causing panic.

But being called a road roller... seems less appropriate than an extruder, right?

He said with a half-smile, "How are you sure that that person has a lot of hidden treasures?"

"That person has a cooperative relationship with the alliance," Lawrence said seriously, "and he has revealed a lot of information."

"It's fake," Jing Yuexin said without hesitation, "It's not cooperation at all. That senior is trapped by the alliance."

"Trapped?" Lawrence looked stunned, "That person is one of the alliance's trump cards!"

"You're acting too exaggerated," Jing Yuexin said lightly, "I don't believe you don't know."

"Okay, I do have some guesses," said Lawrence, who was also a bachelor. "Since we are cooperating, why do we need to be so mysterious?"

"It's just that everyone else said that, but I just feel like it doesn't look like sincere cooperation."

He did think so, but he really didn't dare to say such things casually.

"Yeah," Jing Yuexin nodded, "she still has some brains."

"But the treasure is not fake!" Lawrence said sternly, "In order to ensure a happy cooperation...well, this is how the alliance promotes it. That mysterious existence was once dedicated to the alliance's three treasure rooms!"

"There's only one thing!" Taoist Jiao couldn't bear it anymore and sent out his spiritual consciousness, "This guy is talking nonsense!"

"And... dedicate it to the Alliance? Bah, they are so embarrassed to say it!"

"So you really did this before?" Qu Jianlei was a little surprised.

"It's just negotiation skills," Jiao Daoren said sarcastically. He could survive under naval gunfire, so why couldn't he show some abilities?

"So it really happened," Qu Jianlei muttered and said nothing more.

Lawrence didn't know the conversation between the three of them, "And that person's treasure trove is far more than that."

Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were silent. They didn't know how to answer this.

It took quite a while before Qu Jianlei spoke, "Does the Federation know about this information?"

"This... it's hard to say," Lawrence smiled bitterly, "but with the federal intelligence network, we probably can know something."

"People from the Alliance are really scheming," Jing Yuexin snorted. Although she didn't like intrigues, her IQ was not bad.

Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "Can you get the list of imperial spies?"

"This... I'm afraid it's very difficult," Lawrence replied carefully, "I'm not afraid of being exposed, I'm just worried that it will ruin your big event."

But just listen to this. If he really wants to make a list, he will definitely die without a burial place.

"Then you can continue to explore." Qu Jianlei waved his hand, and two hundred kilograms of gold appeared on the ground. "We will come back when we have time."

At this point, the exploration can actually come to an end.

After Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin left, they found a forest.

Then Qu Jianlei asked, "Senior, you are anxious to come to the alliance before you have fully recovered. Do you have any plans?"

He didn't specify the treasure, mainly because he didn't want to show his covetousness. In fact, he had no intention of getting it.

Taoist Jiao has already sworn an oath of heaven and paid a lot of price, so he cannot be greedy.

But it is impossible to say that he has no ideas at all. The resources of the immortal cultivation system are really not too many for the team.

"What the hell," Taoist Jiao muttered, and then asked, "Even if there is a treasure, it is my personal property, right?"

"Of course," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "You have completed the relevant agreement."

However, Jing Yuexin said, "That's what I said, but senior... if you want to leave this Jueling world, you must work together!"

"Of course I know this," Taoist Jiao muttered, "Forget it, those treasures are just safe houses."

This is not surprising. When Qu Jianlei was weak, he would also build safe houses crazily, and there were thirty or forty secret camps on the garbage planet.

However, it is a bit unbelievable that a big boss at the Yuanying level would do this.

But it is not surprising on second thought. Isn't it the case that the older you are in the world, the less courageous you are?

"It doesn't matter, I won't force you," he said in a deep voice, "Then where are we going now?"

Jiao Daoren was somewhat surprised, "Really?"

"When you recover, come and get it yourself," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "You can do whatever you want."

Jiao Daoren was also a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he said, "How about this, help me vent my anger again."

"I want to destroy the Abnormal Affairs Research Institute. In return, I can share my treasure."

Being trapped for more than a thousand years, he was very angry. How could killing only a few people be enough?

"Then forget it," Jing Yuexin made the decision, "The alien invasion is imminent, and we can't kill too hard."

After all, she also has her own pride-do you really think we are just short of your treasure?

"Then... go back," Jiao Daoren also has a temper, especially when his past affairs were pointed out by others.

Although he has his own reasons for doing things, it is really a bit difficult to explain.

And he was not interested in explaining it to others. Whether he could explain it clearly or not, it was at least embarrassing enough.

"Why don't we go to Bi Tao Star first?" Qu Jianlei suggested, "See how the aliens besieged the planet?"

They had been to Bao Zhi Star and knew about the situation of being besieged by aliens.

But they had never seen the process of the aliens attacking the habitable planet, and it was difficult to fully understand this situation through audio and video materials.

Only by experiencing it in person and mastering first-hand materials can we better respond.

Qu Jianlei did not think that the alien Lin Hai would definitely be able to attack the empire-at least that passage would be difficult to pass through.

But people should always prepare for a rainy day, and the more similar information the better.

In theory, their relationship with the imperial government is not very good now, and there is no need to worry too much.

But... what if the empire can't hold on?

If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, and if you rely on people, people will run away. You still have to rely on yourself.

At this moment, Bi Tao Star is very different from what they saw a few years ago. The whole planet has become a huge war fortress.

There are fortresses and weapons everywhere on the planet, as well as multi-layered underground bunkers, maze-like passages, and a large number of automatic weapons.

Such a construction project would definitely not be cheap, and it can be seen that the alliance has invested a lot of money.

Of course, the construction cost is still much cheaper than space warfare, and the key is that it can greatly reduce casualties.

After Qu Jianlei and others teleported here, they found that there was a soldier cave less than 500 meters away from the teleportation point.

And that soldier cave was not above their heads, but nearby. You know, the teleportation room was built 2,000 meters underground.

The soldier cave was not only small, but also very simple, without any decoration, but there were some basic living facilities.

Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin didn't say anything - they were going to fight, so why were there so many details?

However, when moving towards the ground, Qu Jianlei still muttered, "Damn it..."

The ascending space was almost occupied by various buildings, and it felt like the entire surface of the Bitao Star had been poured.

Jing Yuexin snorted, "Is it worse than Hope No. 4? They deserve it."

The two of them rose to the ground and walked around, and found that there were obviously fewer inspections.

But Qu Jianlei soon understood, "A lot of residents have been relocated."

The last time they came, there were at least tens of millions of people on Bitao Star. It can't be said that they were shoulder to shoulder, but they could be seen everywhere.

Now at a glance, the number of people has obviously decreased, and if you sense the various buildings, the number of people is even smaller.

According to Qu Jianlei's estimation, at least 60% of the people here have withdrawn-it must be more than half anyway.

In this case, there is really no need to do any inspections. It is a port of exit, and it should be very strict.

The two of them just walked swaggeringly on the street, and basically no one paid attention to them.

There were a few middle-aged men and women who were drunk, and they greeted them and invited them to join.
