89: Zhou Qingxia wants to talk, the whole city is arresting enemy spies
At the same time, in the Zhou Residence within the Siheyuan World.
After receiving instructions from her uncle, Zhou Qingxia immediately contacted Red Queen without delay.
"Red Queen, I need to procure some equipment, but the price is well over budget. I think it's necessary to speak with the head of your organization in person to see if we can negotiate a suitable solution?"
Zhou Qingxia still remembered the uncontrollable excitement on her uncle's face when he learned she had become the second temporary spokesperson for the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary.
Initially, she was full of questions, and only after asking her uncle did she learn the full story behind it all.
It turned out that Lou Zhenhua of the Lou Family was the temporary spokesperson for the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary and had also provided a complete "Encyclopedia of Medicine," making a huge contribution to the national medical system.
The authorities had specifically assigned two individuals to investigate the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary and supervise transactions.
Just this evening, during a transaction outside the city, the mysterious Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary had conjured an astonishing quantity of food ingredients out of thin air; all the livestock and fish were live, and after spot checks, they were confirmed to be healthy food.
Before the transaction, because the authorities had dispatched troops to blockade the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary's trading hall, angering the organization, the organization forcefully demanded a change in transaction terms.
For this, the nation needed to operate at full capacity to transport the raw materials required for this transaction.
Her uncle also mentioned with a sense of helplessness that the nation's current steel reserves were limited, and looking at the dazzling array of goods in the mobile phone mall, too many of which were urgently needed by the nation, they could only hesitate due to insufficient funds.
Additionally, her uncle had given Zhou Qingxia an important task.
It was then that Zhou Qingxia truly realized that the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary had, unknowingly, done so many unimaginable things.
Her purpose in contacting Red Queen this time was to communicate effectively about the price issue with the other party, as only a reasonable price could maximize the interests of both sides.
Red Queen: [Ms. Zhou, I am very sorry, our leader is currently resting and temporarily unreachable. However, please rest assured, I will relay your message to him as soon as he wakes up.]
Upon hearing this reply, Zhou Qingxia couldn't help but feel a little speechless. She subconsciously glanced at the time, only to realize it was already past two in the morning.
It was only then that she belatedly realized she had stayed up so late.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Red Queen," Zhou Qingxia replied.
Afterward, she quickly lay down on the bed, preparing to sleep.
However, constantly thinking about the transaction with the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, various thoughts flooded her mind, and she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, never truly resting.
--- Public Security Bureau.
Captain Yao Chengen, upon receiving the video evidence of enemy agents sent by Red Queen, knew the situation was serious. Without a moment's rest, he rushed to the bureau in a hurry, immediately gathered personnel, and quickly contacted his superiors to request support.
The superiors decisively dispatched troops, launching a tense search operation for enemy agents throughout the entire city.
In the Sijiucheng / Beijing at night, sporadic gunshots broke the silence, disturbing the city's residents.
For a time, emotions like surprise and panic spread among the crowd, yet no one dared to go out to investigate, fearing they might invite trouble upon themselves.
And this wave of chaotic emotions provided emotional value for Long Feiyang.
In the Long Family's front courtyard of the Siheyuan at 95 Nanluoguxiang, Li Wenting was suddenly awakened by gunshots but was startled to find Long Feiyang missing from beside her.
She couldn't help but frown slightly, turning to look at her daughter, Yaoyao. Seeing the little one sleeping soundly, with no sign of being disturbed, and seeing Hanhan and Huhua dutifully guarding in the living room, Li Wenting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She quietly got out of bed and tiptoed into Red Queen's basement.
"Red Queen, where did my husband go?"
On the monitor, Red Queen immediately bowed respectfully: [Mistress, Master has gone out to handle some matters and is currently unreachable.]
"Unreachable?"
Li Wenting's brows furrowed even more tightly, and she pondered to herself: He went out to handle matters but is unreachable, could he have left Sijiucheng / Beijing?
She knew that Skynet and surveillance were limited to the Sijiucheng / Beijing area.
"Then what's going on outside? Why are there gunshots?"
Li Wenting quickly pressed for answers.
In her opinion, it was inevitable for a man to have his own secrets, and as long as it didn't cross her bottom line, she usually wouldn't interfere too much.
Between husband and wife, trust is mutual, and without conclusive evidence, Li Wenting naturally wouldn't idly speculate that Long Feiyang had gone out to seek pleasure.
Her most pressing concern now was the gunshots outside.
Red Queen: [Mistress, rest assured. Master instructed me to send the captured evidence related to enemy agents to Yao Chengen, Captain of the First Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Security Bureau. Currently, the Public Security Bureau is cooperating with the army to search for enemy agents throughout the city.]
After understanding the situation, Li Wenting completely relaxed, turned, and returned to bed to continue resting.
After all, with Red Queen monitoring the entire city's movements, plus Hanhan and Huhua, two capable assistants with Ultimate Abilities, the safety of the Lou Family was absolutely guaranteed.
--- [Sijiucheng / Beijing residents are extremely panicked, emotional value +5]
[Sijiucheng / Beijing residents are extremely panicked, emotional value +5]
... [Li Wenting is extremely confused, surprised, emotional value +5]
[Li Wenting is moderately reassured, emotional value +3]
... Long Feiyang, still in the Original World, in the process of evolving his Superpower, suddenly heard a notification sound, and his face instantly turned ugly.
"Oh no, my wife found out I'm not home. What should I do? She's probably overthinking things."
After all, up until now, he had never mentioned the Original World to Li Wenting.
Previously, every time, he would sneak off to the Original World while Li Wenting was sound asleep.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll just tell her the truth."
After much consideration, Long Feiyang decided he still needed to explain things clearly to Li Wenting, lest she overthink.
Long Feiyang, with his extraordinary strength and dozens of Ultimate Abilities, was now fearless of any situation. Reassuring Li Wenting was the top priority.
Moreover, Li Wenting already knew many of his secrets, yet had never shown any intention of leaking them, and this time would surely be no exception.
He mused that in the future, he would let his clone impersonate a member of the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary, while his true self would stay home to accompany his daughter. He figured no one would guess that he was the creator of the Sanctuary.
Past three in the morning, Long Feiyang's clone had already collected all the zombies and damaged items from the entire city and its surroundings into the Super Warehouse.
