Lu Chen returned to his office and dialed the number of Lu Zheng at Spark Base.

"Hey?"

The call was connected, and Lu Zheng's calm and authoritative voice came from the receiver.

"I made a deal with Li Xin'er last night. They are medicines that are urgently needed by the base here in City S."

Lu Zheng thought that Lu Chen was calling him to ask him about the feasibility of this matter, so he decisively agreed.

"Okay, let's test it out first."

Lu Chen continued: "The list of medicines given last night, before dawn this morning, the medicines appeared out of thin air inside the base."

"Appeared out of thin air?"

Lu Zheng was a little surprised now. He believed that Lu Chen would not use this description casually unless it was confirmed that it really appeared out of thin air.

So Lu Chen was curious about how a method could appear out of thin air. At the same time, he asked:

"What's the specific situation? And what does she want in exchange for this transaction?"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen explained in detail what happened from the conversation he had with Li Xiner during dinner last night to today.

After finishing speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Lu Zheng sighed tiredly, "Hey."

His voice seemed to have aged a lot at this moment,

"We have no choice, right?"

Even if they knew that Li Xin'er had many doubts, they now had no choice but to believe her.

If the end of the world is as Li Xin'er said, the real test that mankind will face is yet to come.

Lu Chen's mood also became heavy, "Don't worry, there will be a solution."

Lu Zheng regained his composure, raised his spirits, and explained:

"I will go to the laboratory to follow up on the issue of the crystal core. The transaction will continue. I will try my best to meet her requirements and try to win over her."

"Also...I'll let Lu Jinan go first..."

The sound on the phone started to be intermittent again. Lu Chen stood up, as if standing with a high signal would be better.

"The signal is not very good. Can you hear me over there?"

"Here···"

On the phone, the noise got louder and louder, and the signal got worse and worse. In the end, I couldn't hear a word at all, only the chirping sound of electricity was left.

Lu Chen put down the phone he held to his ear and lowered his head to check the status of the phone.

At this moment, bursts of loud exclamations suddenly came from outside,

"Look, what is that?"

"Something fell from the sky!"

"Is it a shooting star or a meteorite?"

When Lu Chen heard this, his expression changed drastically, he held the phone and rushed out of the office door.

As soon as I went out, I saw a huge unknown object in the distance in the sky, trailing a thick tail of black smoke behind it, and it quickly fell towards the ground.

Lu Jinan happened to run upstairs with the list at this moment. He was holding a stack of A4 paper in his hand and stood next to Lu Chen, staring into the distance.

"It's a satellite."

At this time, the members of Long Yan in the office next to him and the information officer brought by Lu Chen rushed out of the office almost at the same time. They looked panicked.

"Captain! All signals are interrupted!"

"Mr. Lu, the signal is gone!"

At this time, the fallen satellite fell into a sea area of ​​​​the Flower Country where the base could not see it.

Immediately afterwards, there was chaos in the office building in the base.

The only preserved satellite of the Flower Planting Country fell, which also meant that from this moment on, all communication equipment that relied on signal reception would be scrapped.

Compared to the flower-growing country, other countries did not respond at this time. After all, they had cut off the signal from the beginning.

In country Y, it is already late at night.

Carl found a very drunk Gavin in the basement where the wine was stored.

The lights in the wine cellar were dim, except for an orange rechargeable night light that the Falcon had specially brought here.

Gavin sat on the ground, half leaning against the wine rack, with countless red wine bottles scattered around him.

Hearing the noise, the slow-responsive person turned his head, glanced at Carl, and chuckled softly,

"Boss, this red wine is not too intoxicating. Would you like a bottle?"

He said, still holding the wine bottle, and raised it in Carl's direction.

Carl didn't respond, walked straight over, stood opposite Gavin, and looked at him condescendingly.

Under the light, Carl's shadow was magnified several times, completely covering Gavin on the ground.

Carl stared at the top of his head and asked coldly: "Why?"

Gavin was stunned for a moment, then swayed from side to side, pretending not to hear, holding up the bottle and taking a sip of wine.

His reaction was clearly seen by Carl. "Stop pretending, I know you understand."

Carl asked patiently again:

"Why are you stopping us from liking her? What do you know? Or are you hiding something?"

Gavin froze in action again, and for a moment, the wine cellar was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Carl wasn't in a hurry and just stayed in a stalemate, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Gavin slowly raised his head and looked at Carl. His face was crimson, and he did look a bit drunk. He was also belching wine when he spoke.

"Boss, if... I said if, knowing that there would be no good results, you... hiccup... would you still like her?"

Hearing this, Carl suddenly smiled. He rarely smiled, let alone so unabashedly and showing his teeth brilliantly.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Gavin was like the helpless pampering of an older brother towards his ignorant younger brother.

"In your eyes, am I, your boss, such a coward?"

Gavin's eyes dodge when he heard this, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Carl said, walked over to Gavin and sat down on the floor. He randomly picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine rack beside him, looked at the label on the bottle, and continued:

"In my world before, except for the battle wings, there were only missions and money. Apart from that, nothing else could attract my attention."

At this moment, he turned his head to look at Gavin and said seriously,

"Gavin, but she can, she can easily catch my eye and get my attention."

When Gavin heard what he said, he felt a little anxious again. He hurriedly retorted,

"Maybe it's just because she's too mysterious, too perfect, and better than any of us that you pay attention to her! That's not love!"

Carl didn't refute, he nodded in cooperation, but asked in confusion:

"Didn't you say that I fell in love with her? Or you forced me to admit it."

Speaking of this, Gavin was a little confused. His words that day were intended to force Carl to give up and give up the idea as soon as possible. Who would have thought that he actually admitted it!

"Carl!"

This time Gavin didn't call him boss, but called his name very seriously, as if he wanted to wake him up.

Carl, however, acted as if he didn't hear his anger. He spoke calmly while picking up the cork opener that was thrown on the ground and the cork of the red wine.

"I seem to have roughly guessed your worries. You are hiding something from us. This is something I don't quite understand. In fact, if you talk about it openly, it might not be that complicated."

Next to him, Gavin just watched the movements of his hands quietly, and listened to what he said without any rebuttal this time.
