Chapter 192 Landing Spaceship
Rong Yuan put away the remote control that he had been hiding in his hand. In order to prevent any accidents, they had formulated no less than ten sets of contingency plans, from bursting nearby water pipes, creating a lot of smoke in the middle of the search team, releasing drugs, forcing through the search line, etc. Fortunately, no one came up in the end, and they passed through the defense line very smoothly as planned.
Behind this line of defense, there were no more members of the search team, and the residents basically stayed in their own homes. The only people who occasionally came and went freely - according to Rong Yuan's observation, were members of the search team.
But it is still impossible to escape from this island and go to the spacecraft landing pad. The air and the sea are the most strictly controlled places. Even if they are covered with a layer of search teams, any individual or hovercraft who goes to the sea or takes off without the permission of the Executive Office will be immediately surrounded by a large number of police forces and arrested indiscriminately. Rong Yuan has already tried this. The vast ocean is simply the best escape route for him as an earthling, but after trying it out, he helplessly found that he could not doubt the control of the Biqiu people over their own sea. Even if unidentified creatures appear in the most remote sea areas, their search team can still appear in just a few minutes.
Therefore, breaking through the defense line only gives them more breathing space, but it is still far from being safe.
Rong Yuan walked calmly on the empty street, and Emilida followed him closely. Rong Yuan thought about this time when he crossed the search line. In the preparation work, he actually used a lot of exchange goods. After all, if there was no Merit Mall, where would he find so many materials to do this and that in just half a day when it was difficult for them to show up now? Take the clothes they were wearing, for example. Although they were ugly, their technological content was not low in this world. Didn't the girl doubt where he got these things from?
Rong Yuan looked back with a little caution, only to see a pair of emerald green eyes that were full of trust, clean and ignorant.
Rong Yuan laughed at himself and continued walking forward. Then he felt a chill in his palms. Amirida quietly pulled his hand and deliberately turned her head away from him.
So Rong Yuan did not refuse.
To the residents who were peeking out from both sides of the street, it looked like two search team members were walking forward hand in hand, which was a little strange and yet a little heartwarming.
…
A spaceship with a blue and white background and purple patterns painted on it broke out of the water like a whale. The splashing sea water reflected the brilliant light. The sunlight was reflected on the golden flying fish with wings at the front of the spaceship, which was dazzling.
The spaceship rose from the sea, circled in the air, and slowly landed on the flat beach. A closer look revealed that the spaceship was not "landing" in the true sense. There was a small distance between the bottom of the hull and the beach. This huge spaceship was actually suspended in the air.
A hovercraft can also float, but due to material limitations, its size and mass are strictly limited. For such a huge spacecraft, the materials required and the money consumed are by no means a simple multiple relationship. There is only one such spacecraft on the entire Piqiu star.
Countless windows on the island's many previously silent buildings were suddenly opened, and many families crowded in front of the windows, each with a tentacle against their forehead, expressing their respect for the spaceship and the people on it. There were also some alien tourists trapped on the Piqiu star, who had no respect at all, leaning against the windows to point and talk, and some were trying to guess the identity of the visitor.
Regardless of admiration, respect, hatred, or disgust, none of them could shake the people who came down from the spaceship. First, a group of strong and tall officers from the Bhikkhu Star came down in high spirits and set up a guard around the area. Although the guard was already the maximum that the island could provide, it was still full of loopholes in their eyes.
Next came a group of monks who were in their middle-aged and young ages. Although their appearances were different, their steps were vigorous and silent, their movements were crisp and neat, they were full of heroic spirit and aggressive, but their expressions were serious and they did not smile. In their actions, there was none of the laziness and sluggishness of older officials. When their eyes turned, the sharpness and deterrence that did not match their age made people turn their heads away and dare not look at them.
When the island owner received the order, he hurriedly came with his men to greet them and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He felt that he was extremely unlucky, and he couldn't help but show a little bit of resentment on his face.
This spaceship named "Geosio" is the exclusive spaceship for the Archon, or in other words, it is the mobile Archon Hall of Pichu Star. There is a huge palace deep in the seabed, which is the real Archon Hall left over from history. But since Pichu Star entered the interstellar era and had more and more exchanges with alien planets, the Archon has stayed less and less on the seabed, and most of the time he has been on this spaceship named after him, Geosio. The Archon Hall on the seabed is more symbolic, and even part of it is open to tourists.
It was no accident that the Geo came to Misha Island. This unprecedented large-scale search operation unearthed many fugitive criminals hiding on the Biqiu Star, as well as some rebels, interstellar pirates, and the like. Conflicts actually occurred every day, and the prisons were almost running out of space. The Archon would not personally visit every place where chaos occurred. So it was not surprising when there were fires and explosions on Misha Island. The search team just thought that some criminals were forced out again, and they just had to arrest them step by step. However, the explosions, smoke, and fire did not hurt anyone, and it was not that some people were desperate. In fact, nothing happened after that. This is the strangest thing.
It was so strange that the Archon who was in charge of the sea came to investigate in person. Something like intuition rather than evidence made them feel that the big fish they really wanted to catch did not take advantage of the chaos to escape into the deep sea, where it was most likely to escape, but might be on this small island.
The island owner, who did not seek credit but only wanted to avoid mistakes, did not consider this an honor at all. He only felt bitter, but he had to put on a smile to greet them. Not surprisingly, he was met with a cold shoulder. These young people in the Secretariat of the Executive Office did not take him seriously at all.
On Biqiu Star, sitting on an island, except for the islands that are mainly used for external exchanges, the others are almost like being exiled to the frontier, where incompetent people retire. The governor is famous for his love of employing young people. On the one hand, these high-spirited young people around him assist the work of the Governor's Office, and on the other hand, they are personally taught by the governor. After more than ten or twenty years of training, they are transferred to the local areas. Even without the special care of the Governor's Office, their experience, knowledge, vision, ability, and mind are not comparable to ordinary people, and each of them has a bright future. Nowadays, most of the mainstays of Biqiu Star are composed of people from these Governor's Offices. So although these people in front of him are just small secretaries, and some are still in the internship period, in the near future, I am afraid that they will all stand at a higher level.
The island owner sighed silently and looked up at the old man who was slowly walking down the gangway of the spaceship.
…
At the same time, Rong Yuan and Amirida were also watching the group of people getting off the spaceship from behind a window.
After escaping the encirclement, the two were almost exhausted. In the past few days, they could only sleep for a short time intermittently, and they did not have a good rest. Not only did they have to wander around the search team and play hide-and-seek with them, Rong Yuan also had to constantly observe their behavior patterns, find loopholes, and find ways to escape. Amirida built a behavioral pattern after understanding everyone. Her brain did not stop working every second she was awake, and she ate and drank just enough. Because both of them were the kind of people who could get a lot of information in an instant, they expressed a lot of content when communicating their ideas to each other. Of course, this improved as they became more familiar with each other. Then make a plan, integrate various factors, consider all possibilities, and if the collision and entanglement of thoughts could be recorded on paper, it might cover the entire Biqiu Star.
In short, after , although the two were excited, all the accumulated mental fatigue came back. This fatigue was even worse than doing physical labor in the fields for a month. Every step they took was based on their will. A good and comfortable sleep was what they needed most. Noah II quickly found them an empty private house. Rong Yuan and the other man were too lazy to talk. They insisted on taking a hot shower and went to bed.
After sleeping for eighteen hours, Rong Yuan made a simple breakfast when he woke up. Of course, with his cooking skills, he basically just took the food that could be eaten directly out of the packaging and put it on a plate, and then boiled a pot of hot water. Just after finishing his meal and taking a rest, he received the news of the second "Mobile Administrative Office coming to the main island". From the attic of the house where they were temporarily living, they could just see the beach where the spacecraft landed.
Neither of them needed the help of telescopes. Emilida's eyesight was so good that even from such a distance, she could see the lines in their pupils with full concentration. Rong Yuan's eyesight was not as good, but he could still see the expressions and eyes of the people. His eyes swept past the subordinates and landed directly on the Archon.
——It was this man who had stood beside Paco's head and pronounced the many unfounded charges with a cold voice. Seeing him, it was hard not to think of the bloodiest scenes of that simple and kind guy.
Emilida's eyes turned red, she held on to the window sill tightly, her body trembling slightly, it was hard to tell whether it was due to anger or fear.
Rong Yuan was much calmer. He knew very well that the direct culprit for Paco's death was Kayul Company, and Bi Qiu Xing was at most an accomplice or a lower-level pawn. Compared with the Archon of Bi Qiu Xing who pronounced the verdict, the doctor and himself who did nothing at all were the ones he really hated.
Rong Yuan had seen the Archon three times in total. The first two times were on the big-screen TV on the street. Once he was cold and indifferent, and once he was kind and sincere. But now, from a distance, he actually saw for the first time this old man who was said to have governed Bhikkhu Star for more than three hundred years. Rong Yuan felt that those superficial impressions did not mean much. Perhaps they were just the politicians' seemingly sincere performances. He could not see what the old man really looked like.
Including the period of learning to speak, he only has 21 years of experience, but this old man has lived for half a thousand years and is in charge of a huge planet. The people of Kayul Company and the Interstellar Alliance can look down on him, because there are many beings in the Milky Way that are larger and more powerful than this planet, and the technology of Biqiu Star is not very advanced, which is like a candle in front of the sun. But Rong Yuan did not look down on his qualifications. Not only him, but anyone on the earth, even the presidents of those big countries, are probably like babies in front of him.
Along with the old man, the guards directly under the Executive Office also got off the boat. The number of people was almost equivalent to that of a small army, but the actual equipment, combat power, and quality of the guards far exceeded that of ordinary troops. They quickly set up layers of cordons, and then while the executive officer was talking to the nervous island owner, the remaining guards quickly and rigorously resumed the search.
The search team on the island was sparsely staffed, and the guards were somewhat lax, so Rong Yuan and his companions had an opportunity to take advantage of it. But now, each of these people in the guard team was as precise as a machine. No one was lax, no one was tired, and no one was careless. During the search, they could always keep an eye on all directions without command. Moreover, they were extremely efficient and advanced quickly. At this time, if they used the same trick again, it would have no benefit except exposing their location. If they continued, unless Rong Yuan used some non-technical means of merit, he would not be able to escape even if he flew into the sky or hid from the ground.
Rong Yuan subconsciously clenched his left fist, and there was a pain in his palm - because he could always hear a certain sound from the [legendary stone], Rong Yuan always had expectations for it. In order to be able to feel it anytime and anywhere, he embedded the stone in an ordinary silver ring, put it on his hand and rubbed it a few times whenever he had nothing to do, but unfortunately the stone never gave him any other response. Rong Yuan did not gain anything except that the vague music in his mind seemed to be the same, but in fact it was never repeated. Gradually, more important things filled his entire mind, and after Rong Yuan found that personal force on an alien planet could not decide anything, he gradually treated it as an ordinary ring. If there is any benefit, it is that every time the stone hits his palm, the dull pain always makes Rong Yuan's brain clearer.
Looking at the pedestrians, Emilida was almost in despair. Suddenly, Rong Yuan turned his head and looked at her. He said whimsically, "How about we go and talk to that old man directly?"
"What to talk about?" Emilida asked subconsciously. It would be fine if they had some evidence, but in fact, they had nothing to prove their innocence except a private letter left by Paco and their trust in him. The so-called evidence left by Paco was not available on another island. What's more, they didn't even know what evidence Paco had. How could they talk to the highest leader of a planet with empty words?
"I have an idea." Rong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously thinking, without elaborating.
So Amirida stopped asking. She was more used to solving tasks assigned to her by others rather than raising questions. The question she asked just now was just a subconscious rhetorical question. Since Rong Yuan wanted to talk, she would try to create an opportunity for them to talk, no matter how difficult it was.
However, seeing the heavily guarded guards below, Amirida felt deeply that this was a more difficult task than crossing the hundred cordons like before. The possibility of success was too small, and there was no loophole for them to exploit.
Unless... you don't care about human life. Then using common ingredients and household cleaners, Amirida can also prepare an instant lethal poison to clear a clear path for them.
Aimirida glanced at Rong Yuan and moved her lips, not knowing whether she should say it or not.
She would never think about this kind of problem before. As long as there is a solution, the doctor never cares about how much sacrifice is involved. But Paco and Rongyuan are not people like the doctor. Emilida knows this very well. She is worried that if she knows the method but doesn't tell them, they will fall into the trap. She is even more worried about how Rongyuan will look at her after she tells them the method, and how Paco, who has passed away, will look at her.
