Chapter 852 Backstab
Status, in many cases, represents power, money, and a life of freedom, but for Lin Fan, it represents trouble.
After her identity was exposed, she clearly felt the change in Lu Yuhao's attitude.
Before, she was in awe of the masters, but after being surprised, she turned into awe of the superiors. Although they are all awe, the latter level is obviously more distinct.
The berth of the Noah was arranged at the container terminal in Lincheng.
The port, which was supposed to have a huge throughput, is now empty, and it seems like a specially planned apron.
It's just not far away that the sea water with black bubbles is blowing, with a salty and rancid smell, blowing the faces of everyone on and off the Noah.
Cen Fangyuan was lucky, and he quickly covered it up. But Jin Sichen covered his nose without giving any face, indicating that he would not get off the ship.
The crew members in charge of the escort were also okay. Most of them had experienced special training in the wild, and they had been in more difficult environments. They all looked around vigilantly and slightly curiously.
The researchers who had been "hungry" for a long time were impatient to wait for Cen Fangyuan to finish greeting Lu Qingyang, and then rushed to the seaside with their equipment on their backs.
"Hey ~ there is something wrong with the sea water..." Lu Qingyang reminded quickly.
"We know." Cen Fangyuan smiled and watched a group of people who lacked exercise and moved their legs quickly, "We saw it on the spacecraft. It's just that these scientists have been arguing for a long time about the cause of the sea water mutation. Let them go. The people on the Noah have received dangerous training."
Lu Qingyang looked at those people and saw that there were many strong guards following them, and he didn't stop them anymore.
"It's embarrassing to say," Lu Qingyang politely led Cen Fangyuan to the car, "the world mutated too fast, many equipment and personnel were not preserved in time, and the communication was lost, so a lot of information could not be shared. Lincheng was simply helpless in this regard. Thanks to you all, the world network is now unblocked, and it is much more convenient to transmit information... In short, thank you all for your generous help, and the two pioneers. This time the communication was restored thanks to them."
Cen Fangyuan nodded.
Each city has different development focuses, and it is impossible for all cities to develop comprehensively.
It is not surprising that Lincheng, known as the entertainment capital, does not pay attention to the development of science and technology, just like the entertainment industry and material richness of the base with developed heavy industry are definitely not as good as Lincheng.
In addition to the destruction of the city and the loss of talents, it is not easy for the hastily enclosed bases to have research capabilities if there are still scientific research institutions.
"I heard that the superpower potion was developed for mutant creatures?" Cen Fangyuan asked.
"Yes." Lu Qingyang nodded, "It was developed by the Penang base in the south. They had a biological research institute before the end of the world. It was preserved in time, and there was no major loss of equipment and personnel. It was a blessing in disguise. At that time, mutant creatures were not as difficult as they are now, and the communication between bases had not been completely cut off, so everyone quickly got the news and exchanged a lot of potions. Please."
Lu Qingyang's men opened the back door with affection, and Cen Fangyuan followed Lu Qingyang's gesture and sat in the back seat. Lu Qingyang smiled and followed him in.
The subordinate closed the door and was about to go to the co-pilot seat, but he saw a fierce-looking guard in red uniform sitting in without any courtesy. He was a little confused, stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Lu Qingyang's eyes before walking to the car behind.
"I don't know if it's a coincidence," Lu Qingyang continued to introduce to Cen Fangyuan with a smile, "The mutant creatures seemed to know that we had a way to deal with them, and they all became stronger, causing the communication to be blocked one after another. When the car carrying the medicine came back, the bases were completely disconnected. It was also because of this that we didn't know at all that the people who took the medicine in the Penang base had mutated..."
When Lu Qingyang said this, his expression was very solemn, and he was also full of grief.
He swallowed his saliva, exhaled, and then smiled bitterly: "It's like God is playing a joke on us... Hope almost became a desperate situation, fortunately... Fortunately, we survived and waited for you."
Cen Fangyuan had known something from the recording of Lin Fan and the others. He was originally engaged in government affairs and knew Lu Qingyang's methods very well. He smiled and had a traditional business blow with him. The atmosphere was harmonious as if the two were brothers who had been separated for many years.
"So it's still unclear what the cause of the end of the world is, right?" Cen Fangyuan asked the question he wanted to know most in a gentle and silent way.
"..." Lu Qingyang was silent for a moment, and then he twitched his lips, "Yes. Although there are many speculations, no one can make a conclusion without solid evidence. After all, it is a major event that almost subverts the world, and it is impossible to make a final conclusion based on the speculation of us conspirators."
Cen Fangyuan was a little surprised at his positioning of himself, but when he thought about it, people who put their ambitions on the table seemed to surrender to him, and took over the topic with a smile: "Yes, there must be solid evidence. When we first arrived, we thought we had found the wrong planet. After all, the scene of Tiandu Star described to us by the Okotbos people was so beautiful."
Lu Qingyang followed his words and began to recall the past, introducing many characteristics of Tiandu Star, and asked about the situation of the Okotbos people. After knowing that they are advanced civilized creatures and have good relations with the Lanxing people, he was more certain of the original plan in his heart, and instantly refined more branches...
When friends come from afar, they always have to eat and drink well before talking about business.
Led by Lu Qingyang, Cen Fangyuan and his party experienced the well-deserved reputation of the entertainment capital - of course, it was not just the young ladies from Tianwaitian, that was the top entertainment in Zhang Qiang's heart.
After Lu Qingyang personally took them to play for a few days, he took them around the city and introduced the various aspects of the construction and system of the inner city. He did not avoid the slums near the city wall. Seeing that Cen Fangyuan's face was not unhappy, but an expression of understanding, he felt a sense of steadiness in his heart. He also walked up to the city wall as never before, and introduced the distribution of mutant creatures in the outer city to the people of Noah through the high steel barrier.
Other bases sent messages to Lu Qingyang like crazy, but were blocked by his secretary who replied that "someone was accompanying foreign guests".
The words were true, but also an excuse.
The major bases that found themselves being backstabbed could not sit still. They sent people to Lincheng, and even the person who did not attend the meeting last time made a rare effort after sobering up and sent people here.
After a few days of leisurely "sightseeing", Cen Fangyuan asked for the first time to go out of the city to greet Lin Fan after learning that Lin Fan was about to return to the city.
Lu Qingyang thought that he wanted to show the cohesion of Noah in front of him, but he didn't expect that Cen Fangyuan was not the top leader of Noah. And the distinguished captain had actually arrived in Lincheng in person a long time ago, and rushed to the front line to clear monsters with his son... just... strangely approachable.
Well, no matter what, a friendly captain is better than an arrogant captain.
But Lu Qingyang really had no topic to talk about with the young captain, even though he knew she was very powerful. In addition, knowing that it was Cen Fangyuan who actually executed the affairs of the spacecraft... Lu Qingyang decided not to relax on both sides and let his son, who was already more familiar, continue to have a good relationship with her.
For this purpose, he specially held a welcoming dinner, and invited all the prominent people in Lincheng to come and sit with him. It would be best if these friends from alien planets were full of goodwill towards Lincheng. The more contacts, the better...
Lin Fan didn't want to attend, but everyone said that she represented the facade of Noah and Lanxing, and it would be bad not to go.
Okay! After enduring the tossing of the costume designer and stylist who were too idle for a long time, she still sat here.
The costume designer and stylist almost quarreled and chose a compromise between dignified simplicity and gorgeous majesty.
In the end, she wore an iron gray dress. The upper body tube top was made into three fan-shaped layers to increase the sense of design. The shoulders were wrapped in a docile cut, revealing a slender neck and a small skin at the collarbone.
The slender waist is a barrel skirt, which reaches below the knee, much like a one-step suit skirt, but there is a slit at the back that is as long as the hips, revealing the layers of silver soft forging from the slit, which is short in front and long in the back, waving in waves on the back.
When walking with small steps, the dress is very graceful; when running with a large distance, it does not hinder the movement of the legs, and the skirt will swing out big waves, even if Lin Fan wants to kick high, it is completely no problem.
This dress is matched with silver high heels and silver half gloves. The inside of the gloves can't cover the palm, and the back of the hand is made into a wave shape, which is very similar to the skirt.
Lin Fan doesn't quite understand what the point of wearing such gloves is. She asked, and the result was a unanimous "good-looking".
The high and shiny silver high heels are naturally for the sake of beauty. She can walk normally, but... her heels and toes hurt.
The stylist made her a low bun that looks simple but not simple, and wanted to put a crown on her bright top, but she refused it unbearably. Finally, she compromised by putting a less conspicuous forehead ornament on her forehead.
Although it was not conspicuous, the platinum chain, which was one finger wide, was inlaid with fine diamonds, and a blue gem the size of a little finger nail was inlaid in the V shape above the center of the forehead.
Lin Fan instinctively wanted to refuse, but under the coercion of the crown, she still accepted it.
Then the matching earrings, bracelets, and the gemstone chain that was worn on her body like a ribbon...
Lin Fan was numb. She felt like a doll that was forcibly upgraded to a higher class. She even breathed carefully, fearing that she would accidentally scrape off the gemstones on her body.
She originally thought that her outfit was too exaggerated, but when she arrived at the venue, there were all the golden girls and young wives, and even the men were dressed neatly...
Fortunately, she was obedient, otherwise she would really embarrass the people of Lanxing.
However, this outfit was completely out of character, so she didn't dare to take big steps when walking, and she didn't dare to lean back when sitting. She was always careful to avoid the gemstones on her body from touching the chair.
With his arms propped up on the armrests of the chair and his beautiful face that had been specially made up, Lin Fan leaned sideways and crossed his legs, sighing in his heart with a blank expression.
Ah~
How boring!
