Chapter 150
Chapter 150
Zhang Bei pondered for a long time. “Well, being closer to Huaxia would make certain things easier to handle.”
“All right. It’ll take about a month. Are we using the new materials for the Laboratory?”
Zhang Bei thought it over for quite a while. “Use them. The factories are ours anyway.”
Heizi sighed. “Then I’ll arrange for people to take care of it.”
“Okay.”
The two chatted for a while before Heizi was hurriedly called away by a phone call.
Now that the cars and new materials had hit the market, Heizi was no longer that playful rich second-generation kid.
These days, anyone who saw Heizi had to respectfully call him: President Qiu.
After a month away, Qingqing’s figure finally appeared at the Amusement Park again.
“Little Yangzi, where’s your black-hearted boss?”
Li Yang took a careful look at the beautiful woman in front of him. “Sister Qingqing?”
“What, Little Yangzi? You don’t recognize me anymore?”
“How did you turn into this?”
No wonder Li Yang was shocked. The old Qingqing had looked like a delicate little girl.
Now her skin was a little darker, but her body was toned and well-proportioned, and her whole bearing was heroic and spirited.
Qingqing thought for a moment. “Don’t ask. Is the boss in the Monitoring Room?”
Li Yang looked around. “He should be.”
“Then I’ll go find the boss. You focus on work!”
Although Qingqing had not been here for a month, she was still incredibly familiar with the place.
She made her way straight to the Monitoring Room. “Boss, boss! You in there?”
Zhang Bei thought for quite a while before finally remembering who the voice belonged to.
“The door’s unlocked. Come in.”
Qingqing pushed the door open with one hand, and her figure immediately entered Zhang Bei’s sight.
Looking at the Dark Girl in front of him, Zhang Bei fell into a long silence.
“Instead of livestreaming, did you go mine coal?”
The moment Qingqing heard Zhang Bei’s mockery, the smile on her face vanished.
Thinking back on everything she had experienced over the past month, she finally let out a long sigh.
“Honestly, it wasn’t that different.”
Have you ever seen the sun at five in the morning?
Have you ever heard the wake-up bugle in the dead of night?
Have you ever seen coach after coach, all packed with muscle, beat you flat on the ground?
Qingqing fell silent for a long time, recalling the painful month she had endured.
“Boss, I think I can beat you in a fight now!”
Zhang Bei: ???
Had this kid lost her mind?
“If you want to play something, hurry up. We’ll be closing soon.”
Only then did Qingqing notice the time. “Farewell!”
She sprinted all the way to Another Life.
Why had she suffered for so long?
Wasn’t it all so she could fully clear 1999?
Wasn’t it so she could find a way to revive the veteran and the young lady?
She buckled on the glasses and entered the 1999 script.
After a month away, the Moon before her was still familiar, and the battlefield was still familiar.
The deep crater the young lady had blasted open before her death was still right there in front of her.
But Qingqing was no longer the rookie who needed protection.
A great saber flashed brilliantly as she swung it, chopping one bug after another to the ground.
Her figure flickered, and she actually carved out a Seven Entries and Seven Exits through the swarm.
“Bzzzt-bzzzt.”
A burst of static sounded, and a mechanical translation came through in her ear.
“Warriors, we are very sorry. Pluto, which the United States was responsible for, is on the verge of falling. Zeus will activate its reserve firepower to buy time for all warriors.”
“I am Huaxia Commander-in-Chief Lu Yi. Pluto will be taken over by the Guanghan Palace Fleet!”
A firm voice rang out, filling the warriors with confidence.
“Thank you, Huaxia, for your sacrifices on behalf of all humanity. All eight thousand eight hundred warriors aboard Zeus wish you victory in this war!”
As the voice fell, a blinding light illuminated all of space.
Pluto erupted in an earth-shaking explosion.
Qingqing silently watched the explosion, not noticing at all when a shockwave swept past her side.
A ten-meter-tall insect was blasted by the explosion and sent crashing toward Qingqing.
Even though Qingqing reacted as quickly as she could, she was still knocked flying.
Protected by her battle armor, Qingqing wasn’t injured, but she had been thrown clear of the battlefield.
By the time she came back to her senses, she had arrived in a deathly silent place.
And before her, a square little cabin stood on the surface of the Moon.
A cabin on the Moon?
Qingqing thought for a moment, then controlled her armor and sped toward the entrance.
The cabin had no door, only a staircase leading down into the depths of the Moon.
A Hidden Plot?
After a brief hesitation, Qingqing followed the stairs all the way down.
Before long, her view suddenly opened up. What appeared before her was an intact spaceship.
Seeing that the hatch was open, Qingqing walked straight inside.
A battle had clearly taken place throughout the ship. Traces of it were everywhere.
She made her way to the control room, and the first thing she saw was a blood-red suit of battle armor.
Beside the armor was a notebook.
[Explorer One mission failed. We failed to find the Kona Civilization. The Insectoid Race has already arrived!]
Qingqing quickly flipped to the second page.
[The materials supported by the Three-Hand Civilization have already been transmitted to Earth. I hope everything goes smoothly.]
[We were ambushed by the Insectoid Race. The spatial warp failed, all power is lost, and the Life Key has been stored in my battle armor.]
[Whoever you are, if you see this, please give the Life Key to General Lu Yi. With it, the sleeping Atlantis can be awakened!]
At this point, Qingqing’s vision blurred. Her half-hour experience had ended, and she had no choice but to return to reality.
Burning with impatience, Qingqing quickly queued up again and once more returned to the chair.
“You wicked boss, couldn’t you just let me clear the whole thing in one go?”
After muttering under her breath, Qingqing returned to 1999 once again.
The full contents of the notebook appeared before her.
[The Life Key is a treasure left behind by the Atlantis civilization. It can resurrect people from the long river of history. Please note that it can only be used twice. Please end this war!]
Seeing this, Qingqing immediately opened the battle armor in front of her and took out a blue stone.
This thing could resurrect people?
In that instant, Qingqing wanted to use it to bring back the veteran and the young woman.
But the towering suits of battle armor would not leave her mind.
This was indeed a Hidden Plot. According to the normal progression, she was supposed to take part in the battle first, develop the military industry, and eventually receive a mission to search for Explorer One.
But Qingqing had happened to trigger the Hidden Mission Seven Entries and Seven Exits, which counted as taking a shortcut.
Qingqing stared at the blue stone in her hand and clenched her teeth.
What should she do?
“Zhang the Thief, the moment you step outside, you’re getting hit by a car!”
After roaring that, Qingqing continued staring at the stone in front of her, sick with worry.
She had spent so long learning how to fight precisely so she could resurrect those two people.
And now this stupid rock could only be used twice!
After thinking in silence for a long time, Qingqing finally let out a long sigh.
“Report. No. 179 has made a major discovery!”
“Speak!”
Qingqing explained everything from beginning to end, and the other side of the earpiece immediately fell silent.
“I am Commander-in-Chief Lu Yi. No. 179, hold your position and do not move. I will send someone to retrieve you!”
“Yes, sir!”
Qingqing gripped the stone in her hand, her nose stinging.
“I’m sorry, miss. Veteran. You’d want to end this war too, wouldn’t you?”
What Qingqing did not know was that the stone in her hand had already driven countless insects into a frenzy, and they were rushing toward her at full speed.
