Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 244 Lost
It can be seen that Young Master Xia drank a lot last night, and he doesn't look very good today.

Tang Yan didn't greet him politely, took out a piece of paper from his arms and pushed it in front of Xia Xin.

"This is what I need."

Xia Xin took the note and looked in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.

Fusion cores, military circuit boards, biological scanners, stainless steel, sensor modules, enhanced aiming cards, vacuum tubes...

"Are you really going to develop into the industrial field?"

Tang Yan said: "The nuclear fusion core is used to drive the P-43 power armor, and the remaining materials are used to try to assemble weapons such as sentry guns."

Xia Xin couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly: "You're using me as a servant..."

Tang Yan walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm your savior, shouldn't you help me with this?"

"Okay, I'm hypocritical." Xia Xin carefully put away the piece of paper. Although there are only a few such as enhanced aiming cards, biometric scanners, and sensor modules in circulation in the gem city market, you can still find a way to save money. The city market got a batch of them.

"How much money do you need?"

"I will find a solution to the funding issue. What I am worried about is that many forces are now focusing on the Pandaren Legion and Gem City. Such a large amount of imported precision materials will inevitably make people suspicious."

"It's okay, you just do it."

Others don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, but deputy head Tang is eager to make a big news every day, so that everyone in the world knows his name.

"You guy..." Xia Xin suddenly stopped at this point, and the bitter smile on his face quickly faded: "Have you ever thought about it, if... I mean if... Jicheng, Greater Northeast Economic Cooperation Organization, MRT What should we do if large forces like the Alliance impose economic sanctions on Gem City?”

Tang Yan said: "Never mind him, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

Xia Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Do you still remember what Tan Zhen... no, Teng Chong did?"

"Teng Chong?" Hearing what he said, Tang Yan recalled that Yuan City blocked the entry of canned sea fish into the inland market. At that time, Teng Chong's method of breaking the situation was to take advantage of Gem City's coastal advantages and actively explore overseas markets.

At that time, Teng Chong reached a cooperation intention on behalf of Gem City and the forces of the Rising Sun Islands, and the two sides had several trade exchanges, but it didn't take long for Teng Chong to be assassinated by Huang Lei, Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others, and turned into a dead ghost Tan Zhen.The cooperation between the two parties also fell through, and contact has been broken since then.

Now that Xia Xin has uncovered this old incident, his thoughts... are obvious.

Tang Yan frowned and said, "You want to...cooperate with the forces of the Rising Sun Islands? Restart maritime trade?"

Xia Xin nodded: "If those large forces impose joint sanctions on Gemstone City... It might be a way to break the situation. And Johnson, I always feel that he has a lot of value to dig."

"It's a little early to consider exploring overseas markets and partners." Tang Yan waved his hand and changed the subject: "How is the investigation of Rodan's affairs going?"

Xia Xin rolled his eyes at him: "You think that Luo Dan is now living in Donglai, and you want to get a reply in three days?"

"..." Tang Yan: "Okay, I will wait patiently for a while."

After saying this, he took a sip of tea and was about to talk to Xia Xin about the linkage between the Gemstone City Guard and the Pandaren Legion, but at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

When I was young, the door of the living room opened from the outside, and General Wang and Wei Qianshou walked into the room.

"Hey, you guys came in time enough."

Tang Yan also wanted to let them rest for a while, and call them back when they left, which seemed to save trouble now.

Wei Qianshou said nothing, walked to him and handed over a piece of paper.

"what?"

"On the way here, I met the officer of the Bounty Hunters Guild, and he asked us to deliver this letter to you."

Bounty Hunters Guild?What did the Bounty Hunters Guild want him to do?
It wasn't until he opened the letter and saw the contents that he suddenly realized that he had asked Gao Kai to go to the Bounty Hunters Guild to discuss with the relevant person in charge the sale of the body of the Mire Crab King.

He has been very busy for the past few days and forgot about this matter.

Xia Xin waited for him to finish reading the contents of the letter, and said, "What's written in it?"

Tang Yan did not hide anything, and told everyone the information contained in the letter.

The reason why the Bounty Hunters Guild wrote him this letter was to tell him that he had already found someone willing to take over the corpse of the Mire Crab King at a high price.

No, it should be said to be the object with the highest bid.

That object is very famous in China - the Yanhuang Brotherhood.

"Are you really going to sell the body of the mud crab king?" Xia Xin unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or because the button was too tight and his neck hurt.

"Sell! Why not sell?" Tang Yan said with a smile: "The Yanhuang Brotherhood gave me a number that I couldn't refuse."

Due to the bad relationship with Yuancheng and Jicheng, canned marine fish cannot enter the inland market.Although Xia Xin said that he would find a way to solve the funding problem, he could not escape the fact that he was resting on his laurels.

He never thought that at this juncture, the Yanhuang Brothers would send him a big gift.

Tang Yan waved the letter in front of Xia Xin: "It really is a powerful party, really rich and powerful."

Xia Xin opened his slightly squinted eyes and said with a smile, "I can't refuse it."

The letter gave a number "233" followed by four zeros.

Yes, 233 million Western Union fiat currency is equivalent to 466 million cans of sea fish. This is also part of the Pandaren Legion's income after removing the commission from the Bounty Hunters Guild.

The legal currency of the Western Union and the legal currency of District 21 are the most credible and stable currencies in mainland China.Most of the transactions led by the Bounty Hunters Guild are carried out with these two major legal currencies.

"Yanhuang Brotherhood...if their leaders can be more enlightened, they may have expanded to a force not weaker than the Western Alliance."

Tang Yan said: "Is the Yanhuang Brotherhood weaker than the Western Alliance?"

Xia Xin smiled: "Of course, small scale does not mean weak, anyway, they have never suffered from conflicts with surrounding forces."

Tang Yan said: "The foundation is solid."

Xia Xin thought of the facility in Sichuan, and nodded: "Well, the foundation is solid."

History has always vividly interpreted the saying "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi". In the era before the nuclear war, the coastal areas of China were the areas with the most developed economy, the largest population and the best living conditions in the country. But what about now?The southeastern coast has become a devastated land, but the environment in the western inland is relatively better.

In the north, Siberian wolves and Altai communities living in the area around Lake Baikal formed the North Asian Community.

In the central part of the Chinese mainland, several settlements formed the Western Alliance with Xijing as the regional center.

In Xishu and its south, there are smaller but powerful forces such as Yanhuang Brotherhood, Xiamen Airlines Group, and South China Institute of Bioengineering.

A little further south is the headquarters of the MRT Consortium, and then there are the Nanyang forces.

There is a famous saying since ancient times - the ocean is the cradle of life.

Before the nuclear war, human settlements were either near the sea or near the river.

After the nuclear war, this law was completely rewritten. The coastal areas with a pleasant climate were abandoned by the lingering human civilization, and the relatively barren inland in the past became a human-rich area instead.

Of course, the situation in Area 21 is an exception.

Xia Xin said that the Yanhuang Brotherhood has a strong foundation, and the same is true for District 21.

"Okay, we've talked about everything we need to talk about, and it's time to go back." After saying this, Tang Yan got up and left.

Xia Xin said, "Let's go after lunch."

Tang Yan shook his head: "There are still many things to do today."

Indeed, according to the original plan, I will go to the rolling mill today to do a field survey, and ask Amy to help him with the staff to see if the production line can be repaired so that the command center can be built in the future.

You must know that the basic raw materials of the three-family industrial system in StarCraft are crystal and gas, but there is no such thing in the wasteland world. The mining and metallurgy modules on the drawings need to be modified to adapt to the current environment.

But before rushing to the rolling mill, there is one more important thing to do - go back to the cannery to see how Caiwei is doing, if it's any better, it's best to find out what she remembered last night and whether it has something to do with him.

He got up and walked out, and the first few people on the plane followed suit.

Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Xia Xin was about to see him off, when Tang Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"That's right. Help me go to the Bounty Hunter's Guild, just say that I agree with the price, and ask them when they will make the transaction."

"No problem." Xia Xin agreed without hesitation.

Tang Yan smiled and said thank you, and led a few people to leave the Governor's Mansion, left Gemstone City in a pickup truck driven by Wei Qianshou and General Wang, and returned to Maxim's Cannery.

The sun had already risen very high when they arrived at their destination. Tang Yan went to the front factory building for a while, exchanged greetings with the old people on the production line, and then entered the office building.

He didn't go back to his room, but knocked on the door of Caiwei's room.

Boom, boom, boom...

After waiting for a while without a response, he pushed the door lightly and it opened.

There was no one on the sunny bed, and the curtains printed with plain flowers fluttered slightly in the wind.

The crabapple flowers on the window sill were in full bloom, with a little yellow in the middle of the pinkish-white petals. A gust of wind blew by, bringing a faint fragrance of flowers against his face.

Caiwei is not in her own room...

He opened the door to his room again and walked in.

The living room was empty, and there was no one in the bedroom.

"Could it be... went downstairs?" He walked to the balcony again, and looked at the empty space on the right side of the office building.

The clothes on the drying rack sway in the wind, undulating like ocean waves.There were several female workers standing on the ground behind the clothes rack, but there was no sign of Caiwei.

Not in her room, not in her own room, and not in the yard either. Where did she go?
Is it on the rooftop?
He knew that Caiwei liked to stand on the rooftop and look into the distance, and would sing her favorite songs when she was in a good mood.I don't know where she learned it, the tune is different every time.

He leaned back out of the balcony and tried it, but found that he couldn't see the roof part, so he could only shrink his head and prepare to pass through the corridor.However, after taking two steps forward, he suddenly discovered an unusual situation.

The crossbow on the corner cabinet is gone.

He thought about it carefully, and made sure that he put the bow and crossbow there last night, remembering that it was still there when he passed by in the morning.

Why did it disappear after two or three hours?
Is there a thief in Maxim's Cannery?But... what little thief would be bold enough to enter his room and steal something?

When I was thinking wildly, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a note behind the upside-down cup on the coffee table.

Tang Yan walked over to pick up the note.

There is a line of elegant small characters on it, the strokes are very light and gentle, and the handwriting is very soft.

"Tang Yan, I took what you brought back last night. I don't want to see you use it. Yes, I remembered some very bad things yesterday. Don't come to me. I will go back after confirming the matter. --Caiwei."

It's Caiwei's handwriting.

Caiwei took the bow and crossbow he brought back from the Calabash Valley military base?

she recognizes it?

She dreads it?

Tang Yan suddenly remembered that when she hugged Caiwei last night, the girl's face was facing that corner. Now it seems that the crossbow stimulated her nerves and activated the memory fragments in her mind.

But... isn't the crossbow a Krovov thing?It was excavated from the pre-war facilities in the area around Lake Baikal, and it has been hidden in the box numbered XAT-002.When did Caiwei see it?
Judging from her reaction yesterday, what the bow and crossbow brought her was definitely not just memories, but more pain.

She knew Krovov?Or...is there something else hidden about this matter?

He didn't waste too much energy guessing, and rushed down the stairs with the note in his hand.

If Caiwei didn't let him look for him, he wouldn't look for it?
how can that be!

Even if she has a reason to leave for a while, what if she encounters danger on the road?
He first asked the female worker who was drying clothes on the right side of the office building, and then the person on duty at the front gate, and learned that Caiwei left the cannery in a modified pickup truck and headed west.

He didn't lose his temper, because he didn't have time to lose his temper, so he directly summoned the vulture chariot to chase them out.

Speaking of which, I don't blame those people for not stopping her. Caiwei's position in the Pandaren Legion is aloof. No one dares to stop her if she wants to go out. Besides, he never told those people to be optimistic about Caiwei.

"It's been hell."

He regretted it now, regretted taking the crossbow back to his residence.

The speed of the vulture chariot is very fast, passing forward like a gust of wind, the stream of fire from the propeller stirs up a stream of heat behind the rear, and the raised dust is stirred up again, like a broken wave.

He looked west, looked north, and flew south for a while, but in the end he found nothing.

Caiwei just disappeared without knowing where she was going.

When he returned to Maxim Cannery, the sun was already slightly westward. Zang Feng, Zeng Hua, Wei Qianshou, General Wang and others who had heard the news of Caiwei's departure hurried up to meet him and asked him if he had found the girl and what happened. What's the matter?
He shook his head and walked up to the office building without saying anything.

General Wang thought it was the young couple who were at odds, and comforted everyone like a bosom brother, don't worry, couples bickering... It's a common thing, when both parties calm down and regain their senses, they will naturally reconcile as before.

Sanpao didn't hold back, raised his hand and slapped the cook.
