Chapter 23

Wei Yanchuan got out of bed and opened the door: "What news?"

"This," Zhao Qiaosheng opened the task list of the Hunter Union, and pointed to the top line, "Someone posted a reward for finding 'energy stone' in VT-79. The reward is very high, so it will be automatically set to the top. The location of the mission, so I received the push immediately."

Wei Yanchuan browsed the task description: "Power Stone?"

The task publisher set up anonymity. He wrote in the post: "This is a solid ore that contains rich energy, and it is very dangerous with strong radiation, so the official has not announced its existence. Research on it There is no conclusion yet, so this ore does not even have a name. I will call it 'power stone' here."

"How much energy does a power stone have? Let us understand it intuitively through a video."

Zhao Qiao clicked on the video.

The video window lights up, and the focus is blurred at the beginning, a blurry khaki with high brightness, the clearest thing is the whistling wind, and the voices embedded in it can also be distinguished.

"Ok?"

"The No. [-] machine is in place." It was talking on the walkie-talkie, and the sound of the current was very obvious.

"Got it, come back quickly. Monitor, monitor—did the monitor receive the signal?"

Another voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The monitoring is received, the signal is fine and stable."

The video picture became clearer, and the large area of ​​khaki was a desolate desert. The camera was pushed out, and three cameras could be seen farther away, two of which had a square metal table in the middle, with a rocker on the table, And directly under the rocker arm, there is something, because it is too far away to see clearly.

There is one remaining camera located in the middle between the camera that took the picture and the metal table.

There was another tight and orderly password arrangement, all personnel and equipment were in place, and the host began to count down: "Three, two, one—ignite the fire!"

The camera suddenly switched, and the perspective changed to one of the two cameras closest to the metal table.

From this distance, you can clearly see the glass vessel under the rocker arm and the green ore the size of a small fingernail in it.

An ignition gun was clamped on the rocker arm, but what came out of the muzzle was not flames. To be precise, it was impossible to see what the ignition gun fired from the video, only the air near the muzzle was distorted.

Ignition. The gun approached the ore under the control of the swing arm, and then——

Bang!

After a flash of white light, a signal loss notification popped up on the blacked out screen, and the monitor switched the signal source, and then switched back to the original and farthest video window.

The long-distance viewing angle is large, and in the new picture, it can be clearly seen that the metal table and the two cameras have been blown to pieces.The white light of the explosion captured by the first camera is no longer visible. From the point of explosion, the air is distorted with water patterns, and circles of energy waves visible to the naked eye radiate outward. The dry surface of the Gobi is crushed, and subsidence is visible to the naked eye. , the billowing dust and smoke rolled with the ripples.

The screen was shaking, and the energy transmission of the explosion caused the ground where the camera was set up to vibrate.

There was only one sentence on the intercom channel: "Run, run, run! Run!"

From a distance, the movement of the energy wave seems to be slow, but as the distance approaches, its true speed is revealed, and its coverage area is also revealed——

After 15 seconds, this picture also lost the signal.

The video hanging in the post ends here.

Zhao Qiaosheng spoke out first, and he asked Wei Yanchuan: "Is this video real?"

Wei Yanchuan said with certainty: "It's true, I know about this experiment."

Zhao Qiaosheng gave Wei Yanchuan a subtle look, and couldn't help but wonder what he didn't know?Without saying anything, Zhao Qiaosheng lowered his head and clicked on a new page on the terminal.

Because the reward for the "Power Stone" was high and the video was exciting enough, even though the reward had only been released for a few hours, there was already a dedicated discussion post on the hunter union's forum, which was still popular.

"look here."

This post was the reason why Zhao Qiaosheng came to knock on the door, and he pulled the page to the place he had starred.Still speaking anonymously, this time it was a very long paragraph.

"Do you know the subspace VT-79?" It begins with this sentence.

The second sentence is: "Does anyone know that VT-79 is Safe Haven?"

The anonymous speaker emphasized that VT-79 is famous for its safety in safe havens, and cited several well-documented instances as illustrations, and then specifically pointed out that convenience stores were present in those instances.

"Convenience stores in Haven usually have extraordinary authority, and VT-79's is of course the same, but whether they can stand up and have a right to speak is completely different. Have you noticed that the convenience store VT-79 Did it take off in recent years?"

Anonymous also cited several events from six or seven years ago for comparison.

Regardless of the speed of response or the means, the handling methods of convenience stores are indeed very different.

So this anonymous person came to the conclusion: "Haven is the most well-informed. The new shop owner of VT-79 is not simple. Before looking for the power stone, you can go to him first. Pay attention to the method."

After reading the speech, Wei Yanchuan said, "I specifically mentioned this at the end... I can be sure that the person who greets you will not be in a pleasant way."

"The front foot was a man-made traffic accident, and the back foot was named in the hunter's union. You are really being targeted. Several thorns in the hunter's union are already coming." Zhao Qiaosheng put away the light screen and used a Said in a casual tone, "You'd better take my military force with you."

"Okay," Wei Yanchuan smiled, not showing any nervousness at all, "It happens that I have something to ask for your help."

"what's up?"

Wei Yanchuan clicked on the message from Lu Wei and shared it with Zhao Qiaosheng: "See if there is any way to find out the whereabouts of these homeless teams."

"No problem." Zhao Qiaosheng had his own news channel. Seeing that Wei Yanchuan wasn't worried at all, he couldn't help asking, "How deep is your relationship with Origin Stone?"

"According to what you said, the origin stone was discovered five years ago, and there were leaks before, but it was within the controllable range. Now it is an explosive leak, and unknowing vagrants are used as transport carriers As a result, I became an insider, and then the experiment video was also posted on the Hunter website, these two things are closely related, it can't be a coincidence, right?"

"I'm even thinking, when Lu Wei's accident happened, you were on the nearby old time ship, isn't it considered good?"

Wei Yanchuan clasped the wrist of the other hand with one hand. This was an unconscious movement when he was thinking, and it was very recognizable.

Zhao Qiaosheng's eyes were attracted by the movements of his hands. His slender fingers had distinct joints, and the blue color of the meridians faintly appeared at the joints. There was a kind of flexibility in it, which made his thinness not look weak.

Wei Yanchuan asked: "Am I worthy of their going to war?"

He conveyed Lu Wei's words to Zhao Qiaosheng: "According to her thinking, this is an action against the homeless, so it is understandable that the convenience store owners who have cooperated with the homeless will be unlucky. Among the convenience store owners, I am the only one who knows the Origin Stone best." The ins and outs, so I should be unlucky."

Zhao Qiaosheng moved his gaze upwards and looked into Wei Yanchuan's eyes: "What's the value of homeless people who need the enemy to go to war? Even if you are right, why do you have to use Origin Stone as a fuse?"

He said: "When you can't tell me what you think of, you can say it directly, and you don't need to cover it up with other reasons."

"Is it so difficult to stand up to scrutiny?" Wei Yanchuan smiled, his expression was indeed well controlled, but the hand that was clasped around his wrist was actually held down, "Vagabonds are valuable, very valuable. .If this series of things is really because of them, it will be simple... This is actually the situation I most hope for."

Zhao Qiaosheng asked again: "How deep is your relationship with Origin Stone?"

Wei Yanchuan answered him like this: "It's right to come to me if you want to find Origin Stone."

Zhao Qiaosheng choked up: "In short, you must be careful." Although he joked that Wei Yanchuan would carry him with him, Zhao Qiaosheng knew very well that the two of them could not stick together all the time.

Wei Yanchuan has things that he doesn't want him to know, and he also has his own secrets.

"I will, safety is still guaranteed in the convenience store." Wei Yanchuan raised his head, his eyes swept across the ceiling, Zhao Qiaosheng followed and looked up, there was nothing special.

Zhao Qiaosheng didn't ask where is the guarantee: "Then I'll go out later, and you stay in the convenience store."

Wei Yanchuan asked Zhao Qiaosheng to go ahead and brush his teeth and wash his face. Only then did he have time to check the time. After 10 o'clock, he slept for a total of two hours.

Severe lack of sleep, but not sleepy, Wei Yanchuan changed clothes and went downstairs, saw Zhao Qiaosheng and Gong Zheng sitting opposite each other in the fast food area.

Gong was eating self-heating fast food, and Zhao Qiaosheng had a bowl of soy milk in front of him.

Wei Yanchuan walked over: "Why are you here?"

Gong Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth: "Because of you." He gestured to Zhao Qiao with his chopsticks, "That's what he told you, you were targeted, Wei Yanchuan."

Seeing them eating, Wei Yanchuan also felt hungry. He ordered himself a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. The teleportation array on the table lit up, and the hot porridge was delivered to Wei Yanchuan: "The captain of the eighth team, it is impossible to protect me specially. Bar?"

Gong Zhengting took a look at him and Zhao Qiaosheng in surprise, he didn't expect Wei Yanchuan to tell all about being the captain.

"It is impossible for the captains of the eight groups to protect you. I am out of friendship, are you moved or not?" Gong Zheng joked, before getting down to business, "Because of the reward stickers from the hunter union, a large number of hunters are about to reach VT- 79. It is not safe to gather so many hunters in Haven, we are here to assist with security, and you who have been named are our key protection object."

Wei Yanchuan said "Oh", and sprinkled mustard powder into the porridge.

Gong Zheng took a sip of the soup that came with the fast food: "In order to fully protect your personal safety, the superiors even sent a doctor here, who is your exclusive doctor, Mao Xiayu."

Wei Yanchuan paused while stirring the porridge: "Got it."

Gong Zheng pretended not to notice his pause: "The superior said, since Dr. Mao is here, let her do both the physical examination and the psychological assessment for you, so as to save you from being unable to make appointments."

Zhao Qiao, who was listening silently, asked a very important question: "Boss? Is the boss of the eighth team concerned about Wei Yanchuan's physical examination?"
