Back in time two days ago.

After the big meeting, the atmosphere of the Zoushi settlement suddenly became heavy. The young people who were always keen on playing music quietly squatted in the corner, smoking their homemade cigarettes silently. The smoke was choking, and it smelled like some kind of dry vine. The thieves who came and went had a melancholy look, but there were also many people whose faces were full of relief.

Like Rego.

"Tu Rui is more humane than Yu Le." Ruan Xian left the assembly hall and walked to the cafeteria. Rego's dog skin plaster sticks up. "Don't worry, there will be no chaos in the walking stone number."

Ruan Xian was too lazy to pay attention to him, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and just walked forward.

"I heard that you got a boat." Lei Ge didn't care about Ruan Xian's icy attitude at all, he approached affectionately, his cheeks were astonishingly thick. But Ruan Xian's shots were still effective when we first met. Brother Lei only dared to walk by his side, and he didn't dare to blatantly move his feet.

When the robbers passing by saw this scene, many of them showed a clear look of disgust.

Ruan Xian still didn't mean to answer.

"The boat is very good." Lei Ge was still chattering, "You can sell it to the top, and you can get a lot of contribution points, enough for you to live a year and a half in peace. Yu Le doesn't say anything else, The ability to sail a boat is first-rate. After changing the captain, there may be a period of turbulence, but Tu Rui will definitely be able to "

"Listen to what you said, Yu Le is dead." After finishing the stew, Ruan Xian finally took over the topic, seeing that he couldn't get rid of this annoying fly.

"Isn't it?" Seeing the target finally replied, Brother Lei immediately put a big smile on his face, "In the past few years, no captain who is against Fan Baiyan can survive. People eat meat, let's drink it here. Order soup, hand in resources on time, and have a good relationship with Fan Baiyan. There's no such thing as a dead captain in half a year. There are so many on the list, and dead friends will not die. When it comes to resources, Xiao Ruan."

"Looking at their reaction, Yu Le shouldn't be on the list." Ruan Xian interrupted.

Brother Lei was stunned, "Ah, hey, yes. It's only been a year since the Shishihao was up. The list is full of veteran captains. There are only ten captains who can choose each time. Say this, Xiao Ruan. Look, Brother Intelligence has told you so much, and you have plenty of money. Can you lend me a little to contribute?"

When he said this, the other party's bad breath sprayed directly on Ruan Xian's face, he suppressed it for a long time before suppressing a retching.

"Brother Gang told me to save it." Ruan Xian held the clean bowl in his hand.

"Hey, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. What's the point of saving for the days when everyone is licking blood. No, I accidentally spent more than two days ago, so I borrowed 7,000 yuan, brother. I'll give you 10,000. Your ship is estimated to be worth 10,000, so it's not bad."

"Oh." Ruan Xian raised his head, "I remember that the boarding fee for disinfection is 10,000."

"Isn't this time-consuming, brother don't bother you anymore, just be a friend"

Ruan Xian stood up, threw the bowl into the dirty bowl box, and walked straight to the house where the contribution points were exchanged. Lei Ge smiled and followed behind him happily.

"How much can I exchange for the boat I brought back if I hand it in?" He stood in front of the facility that looked like a ticket hall window, and asked the people inside through the glass. A middle-aged woman sat behind the glass with a frown, and when she heard this, she finally raised her eyes.

"I'll take a look." She didn't activate the light screen, and was using an old-fashioned tablet. "The structure is good, not too old, and there is a lot of shuttle agent left. It can be replaced for 42,000."

"What about the other supplies I brought back?"

"Canned food, salt, and mushrooms are all we'll take. We can fold it for six hundred and fifty." The middle-aged woman muttered uncertainly.

The smile on Rego's face grew brighter.

"How much is an iron bead? I want to exchange the one I brought on the last mission."

"Five hundred." The woman hoarsely raised her head and glanced at Ruan Xian. Her eyes slipped around the face of the young man on the other side of the glass, and her attitude eased a lot. "Listen to me when you're a pet or a siren. What about the captain? Who knows what the future will hold. Supplies should be held in your hand or in your hand."

"How do you talk?" Lei Ge raised his voice, "The little brother has the ability, if you want to contribute something cool, you can manage it."

"Please register and replace the supplies first, and I will take the iron beads later." Ruan Xian continued to ignore Lei Ge, "Can I advance the ship?"

The woman's movement paused, "preliminary"

"I only need 21,000." Ruan Xian smiled, "I have to use this boat again."

Lei Ge looked blank, while the woman in charge of the exchange blinked, and her voice was a little low, "Sorry, this kind of large exchange does not allow prepayment on it"

"If I can, I want to continue to exchange the 21,000 yuan in exchange." Ruan Xian continued on his own. "I'll use 20,000 in exchange for a chance to see Tu Rui, even if it's not a real person."

"Are you kidding me? It's not like giving away a ship for nothing and leaving at least a boarding fee for it. Hey, let me tell you, take my share." Brother Lei came back to his senses, and his eyes were instantly anxious.

"When did I say I would borrow you?" Ruan Xian waved his hand, "Sister, do you want to do this business?"

"I'll have to discuss it with the top. You wait here for a few minutes, boy."

As soon as the woman's figure disappeared by the door, Ruan Xian took out a gun. Brother Lei's face turned purple, but in the end he didn't say anything, so he had to leave a few swear words and left the exchange office angrily.

"The deputy captain said yes, 20,000 is not a loss if we meet. But he won't show up in person, he will only project and communicate with the boy, don't you think it's not?"

"no problem."

Two days later, Ruan Xian ended the communication with Fan Baiyan.

"I didn't have to pick that hand just now." Tu Rui stood up from the stool, wiped the blood from his neck, and pouted at the void. "Your strength is not bad, Gangzi."

"It's still Xiao Ruan pretending to be like, my hands are shaking when I row, thanks to his synchronized movements to block the past. I'm convinced by the speed of this reaction." Although only Tu Rui's figure can be seen, Gang Ziwen's gruff voice came from From the virtual image.

"Well, Mr. Ruan and I want to talk about something next, you should avoid it first." Tu Rui made a gesture to the void and pushed Gangzi away.

Ruan Xian left the driver's seat of the boat and tore off the iron beads that had been glued to the corners. Tu Rui's figure flickered instantly, floated in place, and swayed with the iron beads crawling all over the floor.

a virtual image.

"With your ability, it is enough to mix well on any boat." Tu Rui's virtual image turned around, bandages were already wrapped around his neck. "Software engineers can still be found now, and those who can modify the hardware are very scarce. Just to increase the scope of image communication, the people of Bliss may not be able to do it."

"People always want to go higher." Ruan Xian fastened his waist bag and tied the iron beads with a nylon bag around his waist. "In other words, who doesn't want to do it once and for all?"

"Are you sure that Fan Baiyan will attack us?" After the projection facility hanging on the iron bead's head was closed, only the voice remained from Tu Rui's side.

"If I brought you over in a few weeks, he might have put me in. Two days are too fast for him to just trust me and put me and you in Bliss base camp."

Ruan Xian tightened the sling on his waist and climbed out from the top of the boat.

"What's more, if the disinfection is just around the corner, and if you kill you, the Zodiac will lose two captains in a row, and you don't have to take any risk of exposing itself. He can lead the Bliss for so long, and the account should be calculated."

Without hesitation, he pulled the rope tight and plunged into the darkness. Roll into a crooked office building. Not long after, there was a huge explosion in the direction of the ship, and the entire ruins vibrated for half a minute.

"In the end, we didn't catch this boat either." The explosion interfered with the transmission, and Tu Rui's voice was unstable for a few seconds. "You're pretty good at doing business. Now it's time to show the merchandise and you say you can disrupt the Bliss."

"Yes, Tang Yibu is a biologist." This may not be a lie, Ruan Xian turned on the lantern and walked in the dark office building. "We found the place where the Bliss was planting chlorpromazine, and he wanted to study it by the way, but it turned out that there was something wrong with their chlorpyrifos."

"What's the problem?" Tu Rui asked calmly after being silent for a while.

"It has lost its psychedelic effect." Ruan Xian replied lightly, kicking off the fallen office chair beside his feet. "Fan Baiyan will definitely cover up this problem. Even if I report it, at this critical moment, you may not believe that I, a newcomer, will be the fastest to show it to you."

It's now.

The mastermind will definitely place people among the big forces, so that the situation can be controlled more conveniently. If there is no accident, the possibility of the mastermind on the Bliss is higher.

But it was a matter of safety, and he had to rule out every possibility of danger.

Whether it is from Gangzi's dictation or the change of the list, the possibility of Yu Le, who has been living in the sea of ​​ruins, obeying the master is almost zero. As long as Tu Rui has nothing to do with the mastermind, he can safely inquire about the whereabouts of the "Ruan Xian" in the wheelchair on the Zoushi, and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

As for the Bliss, he can observe it with Tang Yibu, and it should be a distraction. If the "ghost" to be caught is who is on the Bliss, Tang Yibu said that it has little to do with his own interests.

"Hmm." His biggest target, Tu Rui, seemed to be lost in thought.

"As disinfection is approaching, they can't go to other places to pick them temporarily." Ruan Xian continued to induce, "From our observations, the consumption of fireflies is extremely high, and Fan Baiyan will not have too much inventory. As long as we expose this, we will be happy. The number is bound to be messed up.”

"Very good." Tu Rui's voice finally sounded again. There was a complex mix of emotions in that tone of relief, joy, hatred, and hope, not rigid anxiety. "If your judgment is correct, this may well be an opportunity to win back Yu Le. Listen, if you can really mess up the Bliss, as long as it's not the captain or co-captain, I can do whatever you want."

"Deal." Ruan Xian smiled slightly.

He left the dark office building and headed towards the Bliss colony he remembered. Two or three kilometers away, it took him nearly three hours to find the familiar commercial building.

Ruan Xian brushed the earring on his left ear with his fingertips.

second lower floor. Southeast corner.

He sent a brief message to Tang Yibu.

I am back.

Ruan Xian didn't want to say this, but direct instructions would be too impersonal. He didn't know if this sentence had any effect on the android, but it did succeed in making a subtle sourness pass from the bottom of his heart.

five minutes later.

A head drooped in front of him, and there was some gray on his long black hair. Tang Yibu seemed to be in a good mood. After leaning out half of his body, the android opened his arms wide and made a hug.

"Welcome back." Tang Yibu's tone was very light, "The show is about to begin."
