Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 226 The corpse of a doomsday creature

  Li Xiaoyu didn't know how to deal with it, probably because this person in his impression should also say, you're thinking about peaches or something.

   For things with no experience, of course it is better not to speak.

  Women have many ways to express their attitude, especially when being hugged, as long as the head is pressed against the chest, it will be tighter.

   Tang Xian said:

   "Go for a walk, take a walk outside."

   “I still have a lot to do.”

   "Although I asked you to help me with work, you are not my tool man. You can choose to be lazy once in a while."

   "But I would like to."

  Li Xiaoyu continued:

   "Since this is the place to live in the future, it is natural to make this place better as soon as possible."

   "Rest today." Tang Xian's tone was unquestionable.

  Li Xiaoyu nodded and said without hiding his joy:

   "Then you have to take me back first, I have to change clothes."

   During the process of Tang Xian leaving for the southern island, Li Xiaoyu actually made up for some things that Tang Xian had seen in the past.

   Tang Xian looked very mixed. There are all kinds of things. Probably he thinks he will use this knowledge, but at least he has never seen him use it.

   Among them, there are also many female-oriented knowledge, but Tang Xian really didn't remember these knowledge, but Li Xiaoyu did remember a lot.

  After returning to the office, the two had a simple breakfast, and then Li Xiaoyu went to make up. She usually can finish her makeup in about ten minutes, but this time it took almost an hour.

   Tang Xian was very patient and happened to help Li Xiaoyu with something.

  On the desk in the outhouse, most of the files are various construction plans of Baichuan City.

  Now it can be seen that the developable projects in Baichuan City have increased rapidly with the emergence of electricity.

   But Lin Sen still does not recommend using the Internet.

  However, an internal network can be built, that is, a local area network covering the entire Baichuan City.

   This is used to prevent the signal band from being received by the pyramid.

  Because so far, it is not time to reveal the truth like the people in the pyramid.

  Another problem derived from it is the shortage of manpower.

  There are still too few skilled personnel. Although the education industry already exists, the old, weak, sick, and disabled residents of Tiankeng account for the majority, and their learning ability is not as good as the talented people in the pyramid.

  Some projects that Li Xiaoyu felt were necessary were shelved.

  The most important project Tang Xian saw was the underground city project.

   This plan is a security concern, even though the world seems to be safe already. But Li Xiaoyu believes that the wisdom of human sages is of great value.

   People who live in tiankengs or pyramids all year round are actually more adaptable to this closed environment.

  Sunshine is naturally comfortable, but the problem lies in safety hazards.

  Li Xiaoyu believes that the development of underground fortresses should not be stopped until Baichuan City can realize an optical shielding technology.

  This technology can actually be realized, that is, to add a "shell" to the periphery of Baichuan City.

  People outside the shell see Baichuan City as a ruined city not worth exploring.

  The people inside the shell looked at Baichuan City, but it was another scene.

  This technology has actually been achieved in ancient times.

  Human beings are far more enthusiastic about military research than other research, and optical camouflage uniforms appeared at that time.

   It's just that what Baichuan City needs is a bigger "camouflage uniform" that can shield the signal band.

  What this requires is not quantitative accumulation, but a qualitative breakthrough.

  Tang Xian thought about it seriously, and found that Li Xiaoyu's worry was very reasonable.

  Human beings can indeed come to the original world to survive. Over the years, I may not be the first person to discover this secret.

   It's just that those people are mostly regarded as crazy or dead.

   But the question is, if people know the truth, will there be a solution to the Orderer who enslaves mankind?

  A large number of bronze, silver and even gold trial knights, will they drive humans back to the pyramid again?

  Then concealment is an extremely important attribute.

  This is about the long-term development of human beings when they are weak.

  Tang Xian silently flipped through these materials, while also focusing on other trivial matters.

  What Li Xiaoyu could have done in about three to five hours, Tang Xian finished in an hour.

   At this time, Li Xiaoyu finished dressing and walked out.

  She didn't deliberately wear those cute clothes, it was still the black gothic long skirt from before. It seems that she is still the dreaded Second Miss back then.

   "Let's go, take a look outside, take a walk, and take a good rest today."

   "Aren't you going to call Qing Jiuyu and the others?"

   Tang Xian smiled and shook his head:

   "As a beast, Tang Feiqing Jiuyu should already know that I'm back. You don't need to pay attention to them. I'm here to see you today."

   "Why? I don't think it's like you."

   "I think so too, so do you want to go?"

"want."

  Li Xiaoyu and Tang Xian walked to the outskirts of the city. There is nothing romantic about two people walking and chatting.

  For the two of them, today's meeting is a joy, but neither of them has much interest.

  Two people are talking about recent encounters, probably the best time to date, but they have to talk about work.

   That is, when Tang Xian mentioned his parents, Li Xiaoyu regretted that he couldn't meet Tang Xian's parents.

   At the same time, I also feel a little regretful, probably there is no way to take Tang Xian to meet his parents.

   "So your life experience is far more complicated than we imagined. It is very likely that your Eden blood was obtained for you by your parents, but you have not responded to this memory."

   "Yes, no recovery, I guess they regret it."

   "Why? Regret what?"

  "Regret to let me bear these things, so they erased everything, and didn't tell me what I was going to change in my life until the end of their life.

   They probably hope that I am really just a child of an ordinary family.

   want me to have an ordinary life. Even though I've always thought of myself as mediocre. "

  Li Xiaoyu automatically ignored the last sentence and said:

   "Such parents are really good... They leave the choice to you, instead of forcing you to make certain choices. Unlike my father. Nor like Song Que's family."

   Tang Xian thought more deeply:

"Things that can be done easily, no one will choose to give up. My parents gave me the talent to complete the mission, but they didn't let me know about these things. I probably discovered it halfway. Everything is in vain. What we are facing may be fundamental. It's something that can't be changed, so just keep me out of it."

  Li Xiaoyu didn't speak, but nodded, she understood this idea.

  It’s like a patient who learns that a terminal illness cannot be cured. Instead of fighting the disease stubbornly and losing all his wealth, it is better to live the rest of the time.

   There are indeed many people who have such thoughts, when they are convinced that no matter what they do, it is impossible to avoid death and failure.

   Tang Xian continued:

   "But I still want to try."

   “Parents make mistakes too. I know that very well.”

"Yes."

   Tang Xian knew most of the situation in Baichuan City, and Li Xiaoyu finished with some additions.

  The two soon came to the periphery.

  In the outskirts of Baichuan City, Li Xiaoyu also assigned some people to trim those plants.

  Her distribution method is very peculiar, and it will not be evenly cast in a certain place, unless it is some small projects that can be completed by a few people in a short period of time.

  Most of the time, Li Xiaoyu will ask everyone to concentrate on completing a certain project.

  For example, trimming the branches and weeds outside Baichuan City.

  With a few strong experimental subjects and thousands of beasts, these wild beasts in the original world are naturally not to be feared.

  So there is no need to keep the surrounding trees and vegetation.

   Tang Xian looked at the periphery which was much wider than before, and said:

  "After I left and the power was restored, did you find any useful information?"

  Li Xiaoyu shook his head.

   "Even if there is a small amount of information that can be consulted, it is meaningless information. Most of the computer equipment is damaged beyond repair.

  The quality has also aged, and some can barely be opened, but the data is also garbled. "

   Tang Xian was not very depressed.

  Jing Jian's notes and some books in the library have allowed him to deduce the general idea.

  Li Xiaoyu seemed a little frustrated, because he knew that Tang Xian would be very concerned about this issue, so he sent many people to sort out the data at first, but there was no result.

   Tang Xian said:

   "It seems to be similar to what I thought."

"What?"

   "The real historical data is not on the side of the orderly, nor on the side of human beings."

   "Where is that?"

"Wan Beast, in the mining area. There are some stone tablets on the southern islands, but some of them are indecipherable Eden characters. Unfortunately, I can't understand them. Although I have memorized all the symbols of the inscriptions, but at present There was no one who could decipher those inscriptions either.

  But at the Court of Ten Thousand Beasts, from the attendants of Ember Dragon and Plague Source, I learned that there is still a code of ten thousand beasts in this world, which is preserved in the holy mountain of the court.

  The information recorded there may be able to let us know what happened, but... there is no way to understand it yet. "

"Why?"

   "Tang Feiqing Jiuyu Baimansheng, the three of them are catastrophe-level boss creatures, but they are still not strong enough."

   "Then you'd better wait until you're sure."

  Tang Xian nodded, and this is the end of the topic.

  He and Li Xiaoyu just walked around the periphery like this, with no purpose, just want to chat and talk.

  Although it is not a love story, the brain circuits of the two are different, so they both find it very interesting.

   But a few minutes later, a strange scene happened to the two of them.

  The plants are growing like crazy.

   Those plants that were originally placed outside, like a city wall, have been pruned by Li Xiaoyu a lot.

  But the branches and leaves that were still broken one second, began to grow terribly in the next second.

  Tang Xian and Li Xiaoyu were both stunned.

  Li Xiaoyu didn't feel a certain breath, but Tang Xian did.

   That breath is very familiar, very long ago.

   It seems to be echoing myself from afar.

The two were going to step into the suburbs, and the trees and weeds that had blocked the sky and the sun in the suburbs were also cleaned up, and the wide road was in front of their eyes, but now, the surrounding roads seemed to have lost hundreds of years of plants. They began to grow crazily, and rapidly expanded their territory in a very short period of time.

  The trees were also getting taller rapidly... soon Tang Xian and Li Xiaoyu were shrouded in shadows.

  Li Xiaoyu looked at this scene in shock, naturally she didn't care that the fruits of previous labor were suddenly destroyed, she just didn't understand, what was going on?

Why is there such a situation?

  The rhizome of the plant snaked past like a python, which coincidentally avoided the two of them.

  Tang Xian looked at these scenes, and watched the "city wall" that had been broken down rise again, thoughtfully.

  Compared to Li Xiaoyu and Tang Xian, who were much calmer, he suddenly asked:

   "Speaking of which, do you think that Baichuan City is actually not that old?"

  Li Xiaoyu immediately understood what Tang Xian meant. It's just that she was still in shock, she stabilized her emotions:

"Yes, compared to the ruins of other cities, Baichuan City does not seem to have been laid aside for hundreds of years, it seems to be just a city that has been abandoned for decades. After all, if it has been hundreds of years, those things in the supermarket are basically None of them worked.

  Although the luxury goods made in ancient society were all made on the premise that they could be passed down, they needed careful maintenance. "

   Tang Xian looked at the parked vehicles in the distance, thinking about what a car would look like in fifty years, he could easily imagine that the metal cover of that car had been oxidized a lot.

   And five hundred years later?

   Unimaginable, but certainly not what I saw before my eyes.

   These plants are also, very few plants can grow to such a degree. There are very few trees that can live for hundreds of years around urban environments.

  According to Jing Jian’s last notes, he described that the world seems to be consciously sending these plants to protect the last human civilization.

  But Tang Xian didn't believe this sentimental statement.

  Jing Jian was in a trance at the last moment, and his notes would add a lot of personal subjective conjectures.

  The emotional component will increase, and in this world, if things go wrong, there must be demons.

  Why plants grow like city walls.

  Why do the animals on the periphery stay in the periphery so obediently instead of entering the city?

   These questions just passed by in a flash, Tang Xian didn't think about it carefully.

   Because there is no answer at all.

  What happened in front of my eyes, maybe what Jing Jian saw at that time?

  Tang Xian took Li Xiaoyu and walked carefully in Baichuan City.

  Thinking about it carefully, why did you choose to stay in Baichuan City?

  Of course it is because the integrity of this city is extremely high.

  But Baichuan City is neither at the edge of the world nor at the center of the world. Its geographical location is unremarkable. How is it the only well-preserved city?

   There is no consciousness of the earth at all. This world is composed of countless inorganic bodies. Although there are living things everywhere, the living things are alive, but the world is dead.

  Li Xiaoyu looked at Tang Xian's way of thinking, and kept silent. She knew that Tang Xian's thinking was very broad.

  Just like the knowledge he reads, there are all kinds of knowledge, seemingly useless and unusable, but in fact it can always be used. Especially when faced with unknown situations.

   Tang Xian walked slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally he stopped, watching the surrounding plants continue to bypass himself and Li Xiaoyu, expanding and growing wildly.

  He said:

   "The island in the south is actually the cemetery of the Sea God."

  Li Xiaoyu didn't understand how this suddenly involved Sea God.

   "After the death of the Sea God, he still protected the sea area, making everyone think that it is not dead. Even the Order and the Court of Beasts have been fooled."

   "So if it is true as the Stele of Order said, the Lord of Eden led six doomsday creatures to invade this world. What about the other five?"

  Li Xiaoyu understood, she suddenly had a clever idea:

   "Without the consciousness of the world, maybe these objects in Baichuan City are not decaying normally, and the plants are growing wildly. It is...something that is sheltering Baichuan City? And is it a periodic shelter?"

   "I feel a familiar breath. This breath has nothing to do with order, but echoes with another force in my body."

   Tang Xian looked into the distance and said:

   "Maybe the other five doomsday-level creatures died in different places, but just like Sea God, they also sheltered in different places."

   "This inference is too bold."

   "Look at those vehicles, and you'll know it all."

  Li Xiaoyu followed his gaze and looked over, most of his sight had been blocked. But you can still vaguely see the vehicles parked on the side of the road.

  Li Xiaoyu suddenly trembled, because those vehicles that had been abandoned for a long time seemed—

   Not so old.
