OBS Chapter 1073! Surprise?
Chapter 1073! Surprise?
……
According to the information brought by the second wave of the Awakening Team that went out for reconnaissance, there was no other movement at the Extreme Beast gathering point hundreds of kilometers away, except for the continuous increase in the number of Extreme Beasts.
But this news is the only good news, because according to observations from the released drones, the number of Extreme Devouring Beasts has exceeded one million, and several king-level Extreme Devouring Beasts are suspected to have appeared.
This abnormal phenomenon puzzled Bai Yuekui, who knew the Extreme Beast far better than anyone else. She had no idea why the Extreme Beast would suddenly make such a big noise.
If it was just because Shen Ye asked the lighthouse to cancel the three major laws and was attracted by the strong emotional fluctuations emitted by the lighthouse, then there shouldn't be so many extreme beasts appearing, right?
After all, there aren't enough people to go around.
And they gathered hundreds of kilometers away from the lighthouse, which didn't seem right no matter how I looked at it.
Unfortunately, although Bai Yuekui told Shen Ye the new information, she did not tell Shen Ye her thoughts or discuss them with him, because in her opinion, it would be useless to tell him if even she did not understand it.
Of course, even if she told Shen Ye, he wouldn't care. What about the King-level Devouring Beast, the vortex, and the high-level Vimana? In his opinion, it would be better to think about how to explain to Hong Kou that when she left, she was only accompanied by Feixue, but when she came back, there was a whole car full of people...
……
Speaking of which...
Although the lighthouse has been suspended above the habitat most of the time since it was developed and no longer needs to sail around, Jingnan, as the navigation commander, still stays here out of habit, facing all kinds of data.
However, now Jingnan not only holds the identity of navigation commander, but also serves as the acting city lord. Although Shen Ye originally planned to let Hong Kou serve as the acting city lord when he left, she pushed it to Jingnan, saying that Jingnan was more suitable.
And the fact is just as Hong Kou said. During the more than a week that Shen Ye was away, Jingnan managed the lighthouse in an orderly manner and nothing went wrong.
The reason is simple. In addition to the fact that Jingnan is good at handling complex affairs because he stays in the navigation control room for a long time, another reason is the help of the robot girl ASH. Although she can only stay awake for less than ten hours a day, her powerful computing power is enough to deal with all problems.
At this time, in the lighthouse navigation control room, the robot girl ASH handed a freshly printed document to Jingnan.
"Acting City Lord Jingnan, this is the weather forecast for the next week. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the weather will be fine for the next week. Therefore, I suggest raising the lighthouse as high as possible during the day to allow the crops in the habitat to receive more sunlight."
"Thank you for your help, ASH." Jingnan took the information handed to her by the robot girl, flipped through it casually, and her eyes fell on the robot girl.
"Hey, why did you change your clothes today?"
At this time, the robot girl was wearing a black uniform dress with gold edges similar to hers. Under the knee-length skirt were a pair of slender long legs wrapped in black cotton socks. If you ignore the pair of mechanical hands holding in front of her lower abdomen, ASH looked no different from an ordinary human girl.
Listening to Jingnan's words, the robot girl smoothed her hair with her hand, then chuckled and said, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that he will come back today."
Jingnan knew who he was. With a smile in her eyes, she asked curiously, "How can you still feel this way?"
"Of course I do." Ash still had a slight smile on his face: "Ever since he awakened me from the dimensional space, I have had this ability. It's just that I usually trust my own calculations more. I only rely on this so-called feeling when I think of him."
After saying that, she pointed to her chest again. That was her core power reactor, which was specially replaced by Shen Ye for her. Now she regarded it as her own heart.
And her action also shows that she is thinking carefully.
Jingnan looked at the robot girl curiously. She was a little surprised by her humanistic behavior, but she didn't think too much about it. She just asked, "Should we go down to the ground to greet him?"
"I think it's necessary." Ash nodded: "Call them and give him a surprise."
"Okay then. I'll go inform Sister Hong Kou and the others." Jing Nan nodded, then frowned again: "But what if he doesn't come back today?"
ASH was silent for a moment, then said: "I don't know."
"Uh..." Jingnan held his forehead and was speechless.
……
On Shen Ye's side, after confirming the accompanying personnel, the group quickly drove from Longgu Village to the lighthouse. They have now entered the sphere of influence of the lighthouse habitat. However, they are still 20 to 30 kilometers away from the core area of the habitat. However, at the speed of the off-road vehicle, they can arrive in an hour at most.
But just as the off-road vehicle continued to drive for about twenty kilometers, seeing the lighthouse floating in the air in the distance becoming clearer and clearer, the driver, Shattered Star, suddenly slammed on the brakes.
It wasn't that they were in danger, but rather that a car was coming towards them and stopped just ten meters in front of them.
Then, several women got out of the car.
Looking at the familiar mature woman at the head, Bai Yuekui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and glanced at Shen Ye: "When did you inform them?"
Shen Ye naturally saw those women, but he said innocently: "I didn't even notify them. I wanted to give them a surprise!"
"Hmph, now it seems that they gave us a surprise." Bai Yuekui curled his lips, then opened the car door and jumped out.
Seeing her action, Shen Ye wanted to stop her but it was too late. He had planned to explain to Hong Kou and the others first, and then let Bai Yuekui and the others get off the car, but now...
"I don't think there will be a fight."
Thinking this in his heart, Shen Ye hurriedly got out of the car, and then he heard Hong Kou's low voice: "Miss Bai, long time no see."
"Yeah, it's been about ten years now, right? Tsk, you have a secret to staying young, Miss Hong Kou." Bai Yuekui looked Hong Kou up and down, a smile on his face: "It looks like... not much has changed."
"Yeah, you don't look changed at all, still so... childish." Hong Kou said with a cold face and without any politeness, but in fact she was extremely jealous, because the white-haired woman in front of her had hardly changed from more than ten years ago, while she was no longer as young and beautiful as before due to the passage of time.
However, although she was jealous, Hong Kou was not at all panicked. After all, mature women also have their advantages, at least in terms of temperament.
