Doomsday Star Bead

In the afternoon of May 22nd of the first year of the Psychic Era, in the highest conference room of Tomorrow City in Tianke Junior High School.

"Boss, since the recruitment order was issued, the number of scientific research talents sent to Tomorrow City in the past few days has exceeded 100,000," He Xiao said, pointing to a string of numbers on the screen.

"Why so many? There are so many high-level, top-notch talents in our country? Didn't you check them properly?" Lin Chen couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Seventy percent of them are from our country, and the remaining 30% are from other countries. The Universal Store is so awesome that it actually spreads our news to Quanlan Starfish," He Xiao said with a smile.

"Uh, okay," Lin Chen said, remembering Eleven's pretty face, "How's the training going? How's the arrangement of the soul beads and soul rings going?"

A few days ago, Lin Chen tried to give the soul ring talent to the leadership talent, and he succeeded!

But when he tried to copy it to other clones, he failed.

Lin Chen guessed that it might be because the leadership talent came from the Insect King, which gave him a strong affinity for mental control talents and skills.

From then on, all soul ring planting was the responsibility of the leader's clone.

"The training is no problem, it is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the soul rings have been planted. However, I have always had a question that has been bothering me for a long time. I wonder if you can explain it, boss," He Xiao asked cautiously.

His question was too sensitive, but as Lin Chen's confidant, he felt that he had to speak out.

"You and I are talking nonsense, just ask if you have any questions," Lin Chen scolded with a smile.

"Boss, I'm telling you, don't be angry," He Xiao prepared the ground again.

"Tell me, I've never seen you like this." Lin Chen was very curious as to what problem made He Xiao so cautious.

"Boss, these batches of soul rings were planted by the leader's personal guards, and vaguely, I feel that there seems to be some inexplicable connection between me and him, as well as many of the city guards who swallowed the soul beads.

Say so"

"I think you should be careful about this personal guard?" After He Xiao finished speaking, he stared at Lin Chen with a look of death.

He Xiao felt like he was crazy for driving a wedge between his superiors and their personal guards.

Peng~

As soon as He Xiao finished speaking, the door was pushed open by the leader's personal guards, and then closed tightly. The two of them stared at He Xiao with their four eyes.

"Hey, it's my mouth that's to blame." At this moment, He Xiao felt a trace of regret in his heart.

"Damn it, you used your words for such a trivial matter." Suddenly, Lin Chen and the leader's clone said in unison.

"This, this, this..." He Xiao suddenly trembled, looking at Lin Chen and the leader's clone in shock, already having his own guess in his heart.

"How could I harm myself?" As he said this, the leader's clone took off the mask on his face, revealing a face exactly like Lin Chen's.

"This, this, this, this..." He Xiao's guess came true, and he admired Lin Chen even more.

"How? This clone is okay, haha," Lin Chen laughed.

"Boss, what about the Ice, Lieyan, and Thunder guards?" He Xiao looked at Lin Chen and asked.

"Yeah" Lin Chen nodded and waved away the leader's clone.

"Boss, how strong are you?" He Xiao sighed, "Don't talk about you, I can't beat any of your clones."

"Haha, then don't compare, I am your boss and will always protect you!" Lin Chen said happily.

"Okay, you are right." He Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Then when you are not here, can I let him decide some things?"

"No, this clone can only communicate with me spiritually within a certain range. Beyond that, he will only have a shallow consciousness."

"Of course, the combat ability will not change. It will be no problem for him to go up," Lin Chen said confidently.

"Okay," He Xiao nodded and replied.

"Boss, Shangzi already has some clues about the bizarre murder that happened in the city at night," He Xiao continued to report.

"Oh, is it the Dark Temple?" With this kind of continuous murder case, Lin Chen's first thought was the Dark Temple.

"Well, yes, all the clues point to the Dark Temple." He Xiao nodded, "They have seventeen gathering points in Tomorrow City, and they have basically found out now."

"Only seventeen?" Lin Chen tapped the table gently, thinking in his mind.

"What's wrong? Boss, do you think there is a problem?" He Xiao asked.

"Have their strongholds increased in recent days?" Lin Chen thought.

"No, there have been no new additions in the past half month." He Xiao shook his head.

"That leaves at least one stronghold missing, or even nineteen," Lin Chen said with certainty.

"Why?" He Xiao was puzzled. The information he got only said there were seventeen.

Does Lin Chen have other intelligence networks?

Thinking of this, He Xiao couldn't help but shudder.

"Do you know the predecessor of this Dark Temple?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

"Uh, I don't know." He Xiao shook his head again.

"Have you ever heard of the White Lotus Sect?" Lin Chen said.

"I've heard of it. Could it be that they are the ones?" He Xiao said in surprise.

"Well, I heard it is." Lin Chen spread his hands.

The White Lotus Sect is one of the most famous cults before the end of the world.

"Then why is it said that one is missing or nineteen are missing?" He Xiao was puzzled.

"The numbers they believe in are one, nine, twelve, eighteen, thirty-six, seventy-two, and one hundred and eight, so as long as their stronghold is stable, it must be one of these numbers." Lin

Chen affirmed.

This is a bloody lesson from the past life!

"Okay, okay, I'll ask Shangzi to check again," He Xiao said in a deep voice.

What Lin Chen insisted on must be right. He has been constantly verifying it for so long.

"No need. After checking for so long, we only found seventeen buildings. It will be the same if we continue to check. I will arrange someone else," Lin Chen said softly.

"Okay," He Xiao replied honestly.

He didn't ask who arranged the arrangement, nor where did Lin Chen's clone come from. He shouldn't know these things.

"Then I'll go deal with my pile of work first. There have been a lot of new people recently," He Xiao stood up and said.

"Oh, how many people are there in each base now?" Lin Chen asked with interest.

"There are currently more than 18.33 million people in Tomorrow City, 5.17 million in Iron City, 1.22 million in the mines, and about 11.1 million in Tianxiang City. Among them, the evolvers

, Tomorrow City..." He Xiao said with all his treasures.

"Stop, didn't Tomorrow City have only 15 million people before? Why did it suddenly increase by nearly 3 million? Didn't Tianxiang Base have 12 million people? Why was there one million less?" Lin Chen

asked.

"Boss, you don't know how famous our Tomorrow City is, and how famous you are," He Xiao hurriedly sat down again and said.

"Oh?" Lin Chen also became interested.

"These three million people are, to be precise, four million more people. Among them, it turns out that nearly one million people in Tomorrow City went to the mines."

"Of the other three million people, two million moved here from Tianxiang Base and Tiecheng Base. They say that Tomorrow City is the safest."

"And our teleportation between internal bases has been greatly discounted by the Universal Store. Compared with teleportation in other cities, it is very cheap."

"Where are the other one million?" Lin Chen asked, "Are they all sent from other bases?"

"Yes, that's right, that doesn't include the scientific research talents who were transferred this time. Those who were transferred before were all evolutionaries and brought their families with them. Most of them immediately wanted to sign up to join the city guard after they came here. Now we will be the city guards of Tomorrow City.

The army has been nearly two

A million," He Xiao said proudly.

"Okay, the more survivors like this, the better," Lin Chen said with a pleased smile.

"Boss, do you know what they said when they joined the army?" He Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.

"Tell me about it." Lin Chen was also very curious.

"We came to Tomorrow City to join the army, and we came here to defect to Boss Lin Chen. So hurry up and get the soul beads, and after eating, go to the city to kill the enemy!" He Xiao said vividly.

"Oh, do I have such a strong charm? Why didn't I know?" Lin Chen smiled, feeling proud in his heart.

"Yes! Boss, you really don't know. I don't know about other bases. Most survivors in Tomorrow City call you boss. It is said that half of the women are thinking about you at night," He Xiao said with a bad smile.

"What a fool! I feel like you're fooling me!" Lin Chen scolded with a smile.

"Really! This is the conclusion I came to after contacting so many low-level survivors," He Xiao said seriously, "The battle to recapture Kaixing City, the disclosure of psychic weapons, and the words about Tianxiang City have all spread throughout the world.

"Blue Starfish"

"And the intelligence network we just established in other bases also reported that you have many admirers, boss."

"When setting up the site, just whisper your name to those people, and after confirming our identities, the survivors will surrender regardless of how harsh they are! Really," He Xiao said.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that," Lin Chen said with a proud smile.

"Boss, let's bet. Within three months, the number of survivors who will defect to you will not be less than one million!" He Xiao said.

"So sure?" Lin Chen asked, he himself was not so sure.

"Boss, if you go further, the price of the teleportation array will become less expensive. More survivors can afford it, and they will definitely teleport here as soon as possible."

"Then, there is a question next, and you have to be prepared." Lin Chen suddenly thought.

"What's the problem?"

"Transfer some of the evolvers in Tomorrow City to Tianxiang City and Tiecheng. These two bases are also our bases. We cannot favor one over the other," Lin Chen said worriedly.

"Especially the number of evolved ones. If I guessed correctly, the survivors sent from Tianxiang Base and Tiecheng Base are mainly evolved ones, right?"

"Well, in fact, those who teleport to Tomorrow City are basically evolved people. Ordinary survivors can't raise enough money to teleport," He Xiao replied.

"That's the truth, so you have to find a way to trick some of the evolvers into other bases," Lin Chen arranged.

"I'll try my best, but everyone knows that you and your sisters-in-law are in Tomorrow City, so they would naturally prefer to come to Tomorrow City. It's safer here," He Xiao said helplessly.

"That's it, then you prepare a house for me in each base, and I will live there when the time comes," Lin Chen said.

"Okay, boss, I'll leave first." He Xiao heard two knocks on the door and said goodbye wisely.

"Okay, speed up the progress of mechas, mechanical exoskeletons and lycanthropes. You can report the progress to me every day. If I'm not around, I'll tell your sister-in-law," Lin Chen instructed.

"Okay, okay, I will keep a close eye on it!" He Xiao also understood the importance of these things.

"Go ahead and close the door after you go out," Lin Chen said.

Zhiqa~

When the door opened, He Xiao saw a man covered in black robes standing at the door.

"Please." A smile appeared on He Xiao's lips, and he gave way.

The man in black didn't have any extra words to say. He stared at He Xiao and walked into the conference room.

The moment he lost his body, He Xiao caught a glimpse of half a familiar face. His face suddenly turned pale, and his heart was turned upside down. He was extremely shocked.

Zhiqa~

Pulling open the door, he saw the man in black robe kneeling down in the last crack of the door with great piety...
