Ramona takes Charley to the Oval Office, and then she takes Gucci down.
Liang Tao and Han Yifei have been talking for a while. The atmosphere between them is very harmonious, which gives a feeling that they would hate to meet each other later. However, Xia Lei knows that Liang Tao is familiar with himself. No matter who is with him, he will have the feeling of meeting later, especially women.
"Brother, you have made a great contribution." As soon as Xia Lei came in, Liang Tao said, "I heard from Mr. Han about your deeds, but you didn't know that you saved not only Mr. Han alone, but all of us."
"You're welcome, brother Liang. I just happened to meet some things. Please do me a favor." Said Xia Lei.
Liang Tao said: "you are welcome. I know the existence of AE project, and I also know its importance to us. Professor punk is dead. If you save Mr. Han, the project will not be broken. We still have hope. "
Xia Lei looks at Liang Tao. "Do you know the AE project, too? What do you know? "
Liang Tao said: "although our rebel army and Tianzhu college are different institutions, our goal is the same, that is to fight for the survival and future of mankind. Our rebel army and Tianzhu college have exchanges in many fields. Sometimes they will come up with what they need us to do. Similarly, when we need them to do something for us, we will also directly mention it. This is actually a kind of integration of resources. Only by integrating the strength of all of us can we have the hope of survival and development. "
Xia Lei smiled. "It's not my problem."
Liang Tao shrugged. "Well, I don't really know, but our commander in chief knows. You can stay here for a while longer. When she comes, you can talk to her in person and she will tell you everything. " Then there was a bad smile on his face. "And, I have to tell you, she is the most beautiful woman in our Resistance Army. She is the flower of our Resistance Army. I can assure you that as long as you see her, you will be fascinated by her. "
"No, I'll be out of here soon," said Xia Lei
"I heard you were going to the dark forest. Is that true?" Liang Tao apparently listened to Han Yifei.
Charlotten looked. "Yes, I have a very important thing to deal with."
"I know that blue dragon. I heard it's your agreement with it?"
"Not all. I have my own reasons." Charley didn't want to explain. However, he understood Liang Tao's concern for him, because all people have a consensus that people who go to the dark forest will not come back alive.
Liang Tao's eyes are full of worries. "I know you are a person who keeps your promise, but this matter is related to your life and death. Please think about it more."
"I've made up my mind, I won't think about it anymore," said Xia Lei. Besides, I'll leave this to you and Mr. Han. " Xia Lei opened his backpack, took out the black briefcase from the safe in the tent with black beard, and put it on Liang Tao's desk.
"What is this?" Liang Tao is curious.
"Professor Punk's research materials, as well as the experimental records," sharay said. It's useless for me to keep it. I'll leave it to you and Mr. Han. "
Han Yifei excitedly grabbed the briefcase in his hand, and his voice was shaking. "This is Professor Punk's briefcase. He always brings this briefcase to work in the laboratory."
Liang Tao was also very excited. "With Professor Punk's scientific research materials and experimental records, we will be more likely to succeed in the study of AE!"
"Take a look. I'll go out and have a look." Xia Lei goes to the door.
"Want money?" Liang Tao asked.
"No, I found some blue moon coins in the black beard safe. Can I use them here?" said Xia Lei
"Yes, blue moon coins can be used in any market on the planet, especially in the black market. Only blue moon coins and rare minerals are recognized." Liang Tao said.
"That's fine. Don't worry about me. Look at the data and experimental records. I'll go out for a walk." Xia Lei left Liang Tao's office.
"Come back early, I'll take care of you!" Liang Tao's voice came from behind.
Xia Lei just smiled and didn't respond. He actually read the scientific research materials in the briefcase, but he didn't think Han Yifei could use those materials to develop AE. On earth, he has studied AE for several years, but in the end, there is no reliable result. He has studied, so he is very clear about the mystery and complexity of AE. How can he easily study it with some scientific research materials and experimental records?
But the things in the briefcase are irresistible to Liang taohao and Han Yifei. If it wasn't for the things in the briefcase, Liang Tao would have caught up with him. In this underground city, wherever Xia Lei wanted to go, he would accompany him.
Out of the White House, Xialei walked along a street in the canyon. He doesn't have a purpose. He just goes as he likes, where he goes. The buildings on both sides of the street are dense, but they are not high. The tallest building is only three floors. Moreover, the materials used in the building are mainly stone, which looks very solid and heavy. And building a house with stone is certainly not as high as building a house with reinforced concrete.
His eyes are full of houses built of stone, which reminds Xialei of the stone city. Where is the city that has magical energy and can travel through time, space and stars?
Just like this, Xia Lei came to a market unconsciously.
The market is not big, but there are all kinds of things. Guns and ammunition, protective equipment, daily necessities, minerals and wild animals, etc., look very lively.
"My friend, don't miss it when passing by. How about the latest assault rifle?" A man selling guns came out of the back of his stall and sold his goods to Xialei. "Take my gun, you can do anything outside. Making money is just the difference between a gun and no gun."
Xia Lei just glanced at the weapons in the arms dealer's stall, then shook his head and left. Those weapons are all rusty junk weapons. It's hard to say whether they can shoot, let alone their accuracy.
"Bah! Poor devil! " The weapon dealer spits on the ground, "Damn it, it must be a poor kid sneaking in from outside. Don't let me see you again, or I will kill you!"
Xia Lei heard the swearing and threat of the weapon dealer clearly, but he didn't care about it. In this chaotic world, life is as cheap as grass mustard, let alone dignity? If he has to contend with people everywhere to win or lose, people here may die a lot. The bad living environment makes people become grumpy, vicious and selfish, which are actually human nature, and people are just animals. Eating what you can eat and maintaining your own survival is actually a common feature of all animals. This is no exception.
"How about going in and seeing the good things, friend?" A peddler blocked Xia Lei's way.
The businessman was well-dressed, with a blue moonman's energy pistol in his belt, the same model he got from the black beard safe. However, the handle of the dealer's energy pistol is exaggeratively inlaid with a red gem the size of a thumb finger, which is far less obvious as a weapon.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the building behind the peddler, which is a three story stone building. The door of the shop on the bottom floor is closed. There is a billboard hanging on the door. It says in Chinese: Treasure snatching shop.
Treasure shop?
Perhaps the name aroused Xia Lei's curiosity, his eyes moved slightly, and the metal door suddenly melted in his vision. The space behind the door came into his sight and he saw a fairly wide hall. A stand was set up in the middle of the hall, on which a dozen girls stood. They have only a little cloth to cover their shame, and there are many scars on their exposed skin, which are marks of being beaten and flogged.
The "goods" in the hall surprised Xia Lei. It's acceptable to sell weapons and wild animals. Women can be sold as goods. It's hard to accept that they are sold openly in the market. Such a thing, even on the earth, is only for slave society and feudal society?
"Friend, go in and have a look. You only need to pay five blue moon coins." "Even if you can't afford it, it's good to go in and have a look, because they will soon take off their clothes for display," the businessman said with a seductive smile
Xia Lei took back his sight. "You're doing slave trade here. Nobody cares?"
"Tube? Do you mean the rebels? " There was a disdain on the corner of the merchant's mouth. "This underground city is not built by the rebels, and they are not the owners of this underground city."
"Who is the owner of this underground city?" Xia Lei asked
The businessman frowned. "My answer is not free. Do you want to go in or not?"
Xia Lei smiled, "go in, of course I want to go in and have a look." He took out a roll of blue moon coins from his trouser pocket, and then he took out a piece of the smallest denomination in it, which was also the denomination of 20.
Before Xia Lei handed the blue moon coin to the merchant, the merchant grabbed the blue moon coin from Xia Lei's hand. "My vision is never bad, I know you are a rich man at first sight. Thank you for the tip. Please come in. "
Xialei didn't let him change. He went to the door leading to the hall and pushed it in. There are already many people in the hall, most of them are men, they look at the girls on the stage with lustful eyes. They are not very old. I'm afraid the oldest is less than 18. They stood timidly on the stage, nervously waiting for the unknown fate.
Just after Xia Lei entered the hall, the businessman called and a young man followed him to his side.
The merchant whispered a word to the young man, who nodded and walked to the elevator that left the underground city.
The well-dressed businessman looked at the metal door of the hall which was closed again, and a strange smile came out of his mouth.
