Starting From Zero

Chapter 512 Super High-Rise Gathering

After a while, the convoy arrived at the gate of a manor along the relaxing winding mountain road. However, from the gate, only a few spiers of the building could be seen in the distance, and the rest were hidden under the vast sea of ​​trees.

There is a huge iron gate at the entrance of the manor, but it is open now, but there are two guards in jungle combat uniforms standing on the inside of the door, and these two guards are actually holding guns. Those who don't know this might think that this is the case. Which drug lord's lair is it?

After passing through the gate, a small square appeared not far away. You could see several well-dressed men and women who looked like celebrities talking to each other. There was a large group of staff nearby who were busy in an orderly manner. Although no one introduced them, you can roughly know what these people do by looking at their clothes. The person in the black suit must be the bodyguard, the person in the white suit and the round hat is the waiter responsible for parking, and there are also some people in tuxedos and white gloves who are receptionists.

After our car arrived here, Terry was the first to get out of the car. When we saw him coming down, of course we followed him. However, the shape of my car was a bit special, which attracted some people's attention. However, apart from the service staff, there were only a few older guests at the scene. None of them were The young man was just a little curious about this kind of sports car, but he didn't crowd around him or anything.

After Terry came down, he walked towards us. Three parking guys on the opposite side quickly ran over and were ready to help us drive the car to the temporary parking lot on the side for temporary storage. However, only Terry handed over the key, and I rushed over. The parking guy who came over shook his head and said, "No need." Then he turned to my car and said, "Follow the mode and park."

"Mission, confirmed." There was a mechanical response from my F1-like sports car, and then the cockpit automatically closed and drove out following Terry's car.

Like me, Shuangxue pointed to the parking lot not far away and said, "Find a place to park yourself."

"Mission, confirmed." After the exact same response, the heavy hammer also automatically closed the door and drove past.

In fact, the parking lot is not far from the side of the small square. The area is quite large, but only a small part can be seen because most of it is built inside the mountain. After all, this is a mountainous area, and there is not that much continuous flat land for you to build a parking lot. Only a small part of this semi-underground garage is outside, and most of it is embedded inside the mountain. I saw two cars passing by on their own. The parking boy wasn't too surprised. There are not many high-end cars equipped with automatic parking systems these days, but it is rare that we can find a spot by ourselves in the parking lot where we first come. Most of the ones on the market require car owners to drive into the garage and turn on the scanning device for a lap before they can automatically park next time. It's obviously a lot more upscale for us to be able to find our own spot in the parking lot where we first came.

After the parking boy left, a waiter in a black tuxedo came over and said: "Hello Mr. Terry and Mr. Shenlin, two beautiful ladies. I'm very sorry, because a large group of guests just arrived, our shuttle bus I haven't come back yet, so you need to wait for a while. Or if you want to walk there, I can guide you there. I don't know what you want to do?" This waiter does not seem to be an ordinary service staff. He actually called us by our names. I don't know if he happened to remember us or if this guy memorized the entire guest list and photos.

"Shall we walk there? It's not far anyway." Terry asked. He was quite indifferent to the waiter's overly long performance.

Since Terry said it was not far away, we naturally had no objection. After talking to the waiter, we directly let him lead the way. In fact, this small square is really not too far from the main building over there. I estimated that it was only four to five hundred meters long, so walking over was really nothing. However, women who come to such a party must wear high heels, so walking will be more difficult. Therefore, short-distance golf carts are specially arranged to shuttle back and forth between the small square and the main building. But none of the three women on our side are human. Even if the high heels the three of them chose today were all exaggerated 16-inch high heels, it would not be a problem for them at all. If necessary, the three of them could run back to New York from here at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour even if they were wearing these high heels. After all, we have mechanical endoskeletons in our bodies. As long as the foot support frame is positioned, running will feel like walking on stilts at most, but it actually doesn't have much impact.

We had no objection and the waiter immediately started leading the way.

Walking there and taking the shuttle bus are not the same road. Walking from here, you can go directly through a garden maze. The four hundred meters I mentioned before is the distance in this straight line. As for the shuttle bus, it has to go around the garden and drive through the circular roads on both sides. The distance is much longer than going through the garden. However, this garden was deliberately built as a maze. Although the height is only 1.6 meters, which cannot completely block people's sight, the area is quite large after all. It is normal for people who don't know Ruth to walk in and get fainted in it. But I have to say that it is quite nice to walk around here when you are not in a hurry, especially since there is a small space with blooming flowers in the center of the maze garden, and the center of this small space happens to be the center point of the entire maze. . The designer set up a white flower pavilion here, which is really beautiful against the surrounding rose bushes. Anyway, Xiao Longnu and Shuangxue both liked it very much, but unfortunately we probably won’t have the chance to see a place like this again.

This waiter has obviously received professional training. When leading the way, he does not follow us step by step, but always stays far ahead of us to ensure that we can see him and not lose him, but he will not let us go. We are too close, so if the guests need to talk to each other, they can just keep their voices low, and they don't have to worry about the waiter hearing. As for what you want the waiter to do, you just need to make it a little louder and the other party can hear it. It can be said that the distance is more than one point, and less than the distance. It is really the right distance.

Terry also took advantage of this gap to explain to me. Anyway, he basically said that if I encounter any challenges tonight, let me try to be more proactive and not hide my strength, because there will be many people evaluating our abilities tonight. , the results will affect a series of subsequent decisions, and the better we perform. The more benefits we will get in the future. As for why he did this, Terry never said anything, which made us quite confused.

To be honest, the relationship between Terry and I can only be described as acquaintances. If you want to say how good it is, it’s really out of the question. So what Terry said today actually makes me quite distressed, because I don’t know how good it is. I don't know whether to listen or not.

Although Terry said that the better we perform, the better it will be for us. But who knows what they are going to evaluate based on this, so if we perform too well, it may not be a good thing. But Terry will not tell us what the specific situation is, and we have nothing to refer to here. What if Terry says It's true. If we fall off the chain halfway, we will be setting ourselves up for trouble. It's really hard to decide.

Anyway, I don’t know anything right now, so instead of just thinking about it here, it’s better to take a step and take a look. I didn't get too entangled in this. I agreed to Terry's words verbally, but in my mind I was constantly communicating with Yeyue and the others through the spiritual network. It's a pity that Xiaochun and Ling were not brought here today. Otherwise, Terry's brain waves could be monitored. Unfortunately, none of us are good at this. Although we can do it, it is easy to be discovered, and if we are not careful, we can easily burn the target's brain directly. Although Terry and I were not close friends, we were not enemies either. So you must never do anything to hurt him. But although we are not as good at this as Ling and Xiaochun, we can still feel that what Terry said does not sound like a lie. So at present I am still more inclined to listen to his arrangements.

While we were talking, the garden exit appeared in front of us. It was completely different from the parking lot at the gate. There were many people standing at the entrance of the main building of the luxurious villa. Men and women were chatting together or walking inside. There were many bodyguards in black standing around the main building. A little further away, you can still see armed security guards in black combat uniforms walking back and forth in a team of two with an authentic German black suit slung across their backs. This security level is really high enough. In our electromagnetic induction, we even discovered that there is a "Dandelion III" mobile air defense system hidden behind a rockery not far away. In addition to four anti-aircraft missiles, this thing also has a laser interception system. It can not only intercept aircraft flying at medium and low altitudes, but also intercept a variety of missiles and artillery shells. It is definitely one of the best mobile air defense systems.

"Is the president coming tonight?" Shuangxue asked jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Terry asked in surprise: "How did you know? Not only our president is coming, but also all the heads of state participating in the joint meeting this time."

"Damn it, didn't you say this was a private party?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not wrong, because tonight's gathering is unofficial, but you know...since the bosses from all over the world are here, there are some things you know."

"Damn it, you liar, if you had known I wouldn't have come." I complained.

Terry shrugged and said, "I'm just the first plan. If you don't want to come, the boss of your country will give you an order to let you come, so... you know."

"It's so fucked!"

"Don't jump to conclusions so early. You haven't seen the real thing yet." Terry said and gestured to the front. I also noticed that a lot of people had appeared in front of me, so I stopped talking about this matter.

After walking through the asphalt road in front of the main building and going up the stairs on one side, we went directly to the front entrance of the main building. The waiter who led the way sent us here and said goodbye. Terry and I nodded slightly and went inside. Go. After passing through the crystal door, which is more than three meters wide and high, there is a small hall. In the middle of the small hall is a circular fountain made entirely of crystal glass. The crystal trickling water spreads down layer by layer from the cascading flower-shaped water tables to form waterfalls. With just the right lighting and crystal glass The refraction of the pool itself makes this fountain look like the legendary fountain of dreams.

There is a small door on each side of the small hall, and many waiters can be seen coming in and out, but it is obviously not a place where guests should go. There is also a rather huge arch behind the pool in the center of the small hall. Just behind the archway hung with crystal bead curtains is the main hall of the main building. The luxurious main hall, which is as magnificent as the Dragon Palace, is at least as big as eight basketball courts. The extensive use of crystal decorations and a small amount of gold and silver items make the entire hall look gorgeous and dreamy. The style is obviously made by famous artists.

We obviously came relatively late because there were already many people here. Although the main hall, which is at least the size of eight basketball courts, is very wide, and there are two small private rooms at both ends of the main hall, it is already somewhat insufficient at this time. Although it's not crowded yet, it has to be said that space is quite tight.

I don't know why, but people here seem to care about our presence. Anyway, as soon as we entered the hall, all the eyes of the people in the hall were focused on us. Because there is a ring around the hall that is about fifty centimeters above the ground, and the entrance is also fifty centimeters higher than the middle area like the platform, so we can be seen by everyone standing at the door, of course. We can also see the whole situation clearly.

The guests who were still chatting and laughing immediately fell silent when someone noticed our presence. Then more and more eyes were focused on us, and some people even had various complicated looks in their eyes. Some people have excited eyes, others have scrutinizing eyes, and some even have disdainful eyes. I'm not sure the reason for these strange looks, but I probably know it has something to do with the test Terry mentioned.

After staring at us in silence for a few seconds, the crowd started moving again as if the play button was suddenly pressed, but this time it became a small group of people discussing our affairs together. With my superhuman hearing, I did hear what many people were talking about. However, what I heard from these people was not too important. Most of them were discussing our height and appearance. Some people also say that we don’t seem to be very good at looking like us, and it’s just all kinds of contempt.

I didn't have any reaction to the conversation of these people. Firstly, I overheard it and it was not suitable to publicize it. Secondly, I didn't really care about other people's opinions.

Terry took me into the hall below. Instead, he walked along the raised platform on the outside to a crystal door diagonally on the left side of the hall. The two waiters standing by the door quickly opened the door for us. We walked directly through the door and entered a corridor dozens of meters long. The right side of the corridor has a royal blue base color with a gorgeous wall composed of a large number of golden lines, while the left side is a row of two-story floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the clean glass, you can see the fairy garden-like garden landscape outside, and there is a small swing not far away. Several hot girls are having fun on it.

Although the corridor is quite long, there are many works of art placed along it, some are oil paintings, and some are vases or ancient armor. In short, you will not feel that this road is very long, but it will be very emotional to enjoy it along the way. To be honest, I really like this manor more and more the more I see it. Unfortunately, I know that even if people are willing to give this kind of thing away for free, there is no point in my coming. Anyway, after the immigration starts, we will leave the earth, and I am afraid that we will never leave the earth. There will be no chance of coming back.

After passing through this long corridor, we entered a huge indoor greenhouse like a forest. Unlike the corridor and front hall, which are only six meters high, this greenhouse is as tall as the main building and has the shortest ceiling. The places are more than twelve meters above the ground, and the highest place may be seventeen or eighty meters. The huge greenhouse is like half a birdcage and is attached to the back of the main building. It is a greenhouse completely composed of steel frame and double-layer bulletproof glass. It is obviously maintained by high-end air conditioning, because I found that the air humidity and temperature are too standard, which is the most comfortable temperature for the human body. This is obviously not the result of natural ventilation, and because there are so many plants here, the air is also exceptionally good.

Although this is actually an indoor flower room, the designer deliberately created a feeling of being in a dense forest. A large number of vines such as wall-creepers are planted on the edge of the glass exterior wall. Landscape trees made of cement are used as supports and covered with vines. This forms a layer of natural plant curtains, making this flower room The central area becomes like a forest glade, in a strong contrast between light and dark. In a slightly dark environment, a few rays of sunlight cast down from the top, shining through the canopy of vines and forming several light spots on the ground, which looks quite beautiful. Another thing to note is that it is actually night now, so the light is actually created by artificial light sources. However, if it is daytime, this effect can be naturally presented without artificial light sources.

After walking through a road that was deliberately turned into a forest path, I was surprised to find a creek about one meter wide in front of me. The gurgling stream flowed through the river bed made of pebbles, and some ornamental fish could be seen in it. Swimming among them, the "forest path" turned into a few stones slightly higher than the stream when it reached the stream. Even elderly people can step on these stones that are not widely spaced. It's easy to walk over, and for young people, it's no problem. Anyway, the creek is only a little over one meter wide. Most young people can cross it in one step. It is not an obstacle at all, not to mention that they have already left stepping stones.

I have to admire the luxury of this manor again. The area of ​​​​this greenhouse is really larger than imagined. If it were not for the electromagnetic induction ability that can scan the nearby environment, and the fact that we dragons have a good sense of space, we can roughly estimate the area here. If an average person is blindfolded and led to the entrance, and then the blindfold is turned on and allowed to walk all the way here, he will really think that this is a virgin forest. After all, the surrounding landscape is so realistic.

"Nah..." After crossing the creek, I walked a few steps and turned around a larger tree. I couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, because I unexpectedly discovered that there was a small pond here.

The area of ​​​​this small pond is not large, and the total area is about the size of a basketball court. Of course, it is not square, but irregular and nearly circular. This pond is obviously living water. One end is connected to the creek we came here, but the water flows into here instead of out from here. In fact, what really amazed me was not the pond itself. After all, it is not an exaggeration to have a pond in the greenhouse. What really surprised me was the amount of people gathered here.

Of course, people are not unusual, but how would you react if you suddenly saw a large group of heads of state having a picnic together? I'm lucky enough to witness this now. There is a small bonfire on the ground beside the pond. The No. 1 leader of our country and the presidents and prime ministers of several other countries are fishing beside the pond. The Russian boss was cleaning some freshly caught fish with a knife on the ground on one side, while the American president was grilling fish with the Italian president with a few sticks. There were people in the surrounding woodland or There were seven or eight bodyguards scattered around sitting or standing, and the group of heads of state in the middle were having a great time. A feeling of enjoying it.

"What's going on?"

"It's just a small entertainment activity." Terry obviously knew about it before, so he wasn't too surprised. He took me directly there.

Seeing me approaching, the No. 1 leader who was fishing put down his fishing rod and stood up. Then he smiled and walked towards me and said: "Shenlin, you are finally here. Come on, come on, I have a task for you."

I was brought to the head of No. 1 in a daze. Then the No. 1 leader said to me directly: "Shenlin, I came here tonight because I have a mission. I can't explain the specific reason in one or two sentences, so I will tell you briefly. Because this time We, the leaders of these countries, have discussed this matter together, and we still need to further strengthen multi-country cooperation. It is obviously not feasible for us to do our own thing in this way. We need to pool our limited strength in the future. On the one hand, we can reduce the inconvenience caused by internal friction. Necessary losses, on the other hand, we can also learn from each other’s strengths to make up for everyone’s weaknesses and help each other.”

I nodded and said: "This is a good thing, but why should I participate in a meeting of this level? It seems that this kind of thing is not what I am good at!"

"Of course I didn't call you here to let you attend the meeting, but to let them know about your dragon clan."

"Do you know the Dragon Clan?" After thinking for a moment, I understood what Chief No. 1 meant.

In fact, countries around the world were already cooperating before this. It was just limited cooperation at first, but now they plan to completely unite as one. In this way, it is a good thing for this kind of thing to happen in the United States. Sure enough, it was a blessing in disguise!

As for understanding the dragon clan...this is actually simple. Of course it was okay for everyone to play their own games in the past, but now that everyone plans to unite as one, then our dragon clan will truly shoulder the responsibility of human navigators and hand over the future of all mankind to us. With such a major decision, if the other party does not How can we rest assured if we first have a thorough understanding of our Dragon Clan? (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Feng Feng was infected with mycoplasma by my daughter a month ago. As a result, she got a mixed infection. Her old pharyngitis also recurred, and her lungs were almost coughed up. The levofloxacin treatment prescribed by the hospital resulted in severe side effects. The insomnia was very severe. I was very sleepy but couldn't fall asleep. Now I sleep every two days for 12 hours each time. When I wake up, I have a headache and feel like I am going to die. My condition has finally improved recently, and updates will return to normal soon.
