Tang Xiu thought for a moment and then spoke by phone, “Specific numbers are not mandatory, but a secret base in China needs a large number of scientists and researchers, so the more, the better. Remember, you only need to investigate these people from different countries of the world. I will assign others to deal with the following steps later. ”
“Understanding!”
Jin Shi replied and was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly recalled something else. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Are you now at a secret base in China, Your Majesty?”
“Yes, I just arrived here,” Tang Xiu said.
“Your Highness, according to our intelligence cells in China, there were two groups of foreign troops infiltrating Hetian recently. Our intel operative met the two groups two days ago and injured four people before they finally lost track. From the last road, before it disappeared, we concluded that they should have headed for the Taklimakan Desert. Furthermore, we also discovered from surveillance video that they had purchased living supplies in Hetian City, which meant they were preparing to infiltrate the desert. ”
“You mean, they came for this secret base?” Tang Xiu asked.
“I dare not guarantee it 100%,” Jin Shi said.
Tang Xiu pondered for a while and said, “Send me the number and characteristics of these two groups and all the intel information you have gathered about them. In addition, assign some people to monitor the Hetian region. If you find it again, don't rush it and report it to me immediately. ”
“Awessed!”
Tang Xiu hung up the phone and shifted to Duanmu Lin, asking, “Are there any foreign troops sneaking into the Taklimakan Desert?”
Duanmu Lin smiled and said, “A total of 23 people came to the Taklimakan Desert in these 3 years, but all of them were killed by our people. They were intel from various countries and forces, many of them practitioners. Actually, this secret base itself is very hidden, but we need a lot of materials and we have to buy mechanical molds from abroad. It is inevitable that it will attract attention. ”
Tang Xiu nodded silently. Then, he said, “I will order my intel co-operative to monitor the movements in China to keep all spies away. But Jin Shi just reported to me that two groups of people sneaked into the Hetian territory and their destination was this place. Are you going to send your people to get rid of them or should I deal with it myself? ”
“I'll send my people to deal with them!” Duanmu Lin said after thinking about it.
“Alright,” says Tang Xiu.
Quickly, Zhu Long left with dozens of formidable ability users. None of them carried high-tech weapons to prevent accidents, nor did they pick up the strange green vehicle. They only drove the desert off-road vehicles commonly used in the world and quickly drove towards the Hetian region.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiu visited the secret base under Duanmu Lin's lead. Many technological products were things that Tang Xiu saw, so he did not feel a little interested.
“What is this place?”
Four-more hours later, as everyone passed the other door to the outside, Tang Xiu noticed that Duanmu Lin didn't seem to want to take her in. He immediately pointed to a place and asked.
“Nothing is worth a visit as it is only a warehouse that stores energy crystals,” Duanmu Lin said lightly. “In front of us is a foreign plant botanical area. That place will definitely be an eye opener for you. ”
Energy crystals?
Tang Xiu was secretly shocked. When he handed the energy crystal converter to Duanmu Lin earlier, he secretly sent his people to evacuate the large amount of energy crystals stored within the three-star remnants. He even doubled the energy converter and the method to make the energy crystal. For the past three years, the members of the Empire on the Island of the Nine Dragons under Mo Yi's leadership had been secretly producing these energy crystals with four lines of energy converters. Each row can produce nearly 100 energy crystals every day.
“Muans Lin.”
Tang Xiu had no intention of leaving anymore, and his tone when talking to this man changed.
Hearing the new address made Duanmu Lin's heart flutter, but he kept a calm expression on the surface and said, “Are you not interested in the foreign plant botanicals? We can look elsewhere if you are not really interested. ”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes. He shook his head and said, “I want to remind you that you only have two more years. If you still can't get rid of your idea, then I'm afraid you can only stay here forever. ”
Duanmu Lin was a little angry inside. He was a great figure and an experienced man, how could he not feel the threat in Tang Xiu's words? The threat aroused his hatred and triggered his innate stubbornness when he said lightly, “I have my own duty. As long as I am in this position, I will stay here. ”
Tang Xiu suddenly smiled, and his smile was very bright as he said, “Anyhow all, I really want to know about the foreign plant botanicals. Take me to see it! ”
Duanmu Lin looked at Tang Xiu's back as he turned around and left with an inverted mood and a complicated feeling. If Tang Xiu insisted, he would not stop Tang Xiu from entering the crystal energy warehouse and would even give him some if he asked.
Tang Xiu, however, did not insist. He even showed such an expression even after he stubbornly showed his attitude. At this moment, she realized that Tang Xiu had given up on her.
He opened his mouth and wanted to apologize, but he quickly swallowed it back down. However, regret appeared in his heart.
If she was given another chance, she would never deny Tang Xiu, let alone say that. However, she knew that Tang Xiu had never returned once she decided on something. No matter how she explained and pleaded, there was no hope left for her.
****
In the next two days, Tang Xiu stayed at the base, observing the various high-tech products. He even had the urge to refine some high-tech magical tools or even immortal tools.
“Ah Lang, what do you think about the effect that can be produced by combining perennial cultivation with science and technology?” Tang Xiu spoke while standing in the oasis above the base with a thoughtful look.
“Eternal cultivation has eternal power, while science and technology also offer their respective benefits. The combination of the two by exploiting each other's advantages and eliminating their weaknesses will certainly result in unlimited benefits. However, how to combine them still needs to be considered and researched further. Otherwise, we can expect deviations to occur and damage both aspects. ”
Tang Xiu nodded in response and looked at Tang Ahlang. “You have made great progress in just three years. I can say that you've really matured, just missed the last step. ”
Tang Ahlang was somewhat embarrassed by Tang Xiu's statement, but there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes when he asked, “What's the last step, Mister?”
“Yes, you are still a man and not yet a man, in my eyes.” Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “Only when you've tasted food from a woman can you be considered a real man, you know.”
“Ugh ..”
An awkward expression painted Tang Ahlang's childish face. He shook it violently and said, “I would rather stay as a boy forever than be a man, Sir. I'm afraid I'm gonna end up like you. ”
“Hah? Coming again?” Tang Xiu looked dull.
Tang Ahlang smirked saying, “Yes, I have seen how fierce the wives of Master.” are
Uhuk…
Tang Xiu's breathing paused for a moment, and he coughed a few times afterward. If Tang Ahlang was 10 years younger, he would definitely hit his butt.
This brat unexpectedly .. How dare he reprimand and tease his own teacher ?!
Suddenly, Tang Xiu's expression shifted and he looked into the distance. To his surprise, Zhu Long and the two experts from the Special Ability Bureau escaped in the desert several kilometers away. Bloody wounds could be seen all over their bodies, while dozens of figures moved as fast as lightning behind them in pursuit.
“They are strangers, Sir,” said Tang Ahlang.
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Zhu Long led a team a few days ago to hunt and kill the two groups that sneaked into the desert. It was very likely that he met some strong and hunted people, ending up very badly like this. ”
Therefore, his slender figure flickered and appeared in front of Zhu Long in less than two breaths. Seeing how their miserable condition was, he asked indifferently, “How about the others?”
The three people finally relaxed as they looked at Tang Xiu. Zhu Long squeezed a bitter smile and replied with writhing lips, “They are all dead. Master Tang, they are very powerful. Much stronger than anyone who had infiltrated the desert before. ”
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “As far as I know, there should be two groups of them. What about the others? ”
“Other groups are from Stygian Club. We just got rid of them when these Pyramid guys intercepted us. We might all have died had we not fought as hard as we could. ”
“Zhu Long, go back and tell Duanmu Lin that I will not come here again from now on,” Tang Xiu said. “Also, I want him to never see me again. Furthermore, I hope he never forgets the promises and commitments he gave me before. ”
“What do you mean?” Zhu Long looked puzzled, but she ended up nodding silently.
During their conversation, dozens of experts from Pyramid had already surrounded the five people. Their leader, a large man, who wore a black mask and wielded a long sword, coldly glared at Tang Xiu and said, “It seems like our previous investigation was correct. You guys are really carrying out the project in this desert. Get out what you're doing here and maybe I can save your life. ”
Tang Xiu nonchalantly smiled and said, “You should have bought that magic longsword at the Genesis Auction House in Shanghai three years ago, right?”
“How do you know that?” The big man's expression changed and he looked alert.
“Because I made it.” Tang Xiu slightly smiled. “If you don't believe me, look at the handle. There is a little character in it. ”
“Bau?”
The big man did not even glance at the hilt, but his finger pressed against the small mark.
