Chapter 163: Outsiders
Chapter 163: Outsiders
Here comes the coolie.
Xia Mingdong said directly to Cen Heng: "Whistle, the louder the better."
Cen Heng: "?"
Xia Mingdong: "Don't ask, asking is just touching."
Cen Heng: "...I just want to say, won't whistling attract the attention of crystal people?"
"Of course not." Xia Mingdong replied affirmatively: "Crystal Man is so indifferent, I don't think he would care as long as there is no tsunami and flood around him."
Cen Heng twitched the corners of his mouth, "Okay, listen to you."
Cen Heng put his finger next to his lips and whistled loudly.
The black eagle overhead seemed to be looking down.
Xia Mingdong said: "Let's go, let's wait under the tree over there for 10 minutes, and forget it."
Only then did Cen Heng realize that Xia Mingdong was waiting for someone, "Who are we waiting for?"
Xia Mingdong pointed to the top of his head: "Bai Kun."
Ning Ge narrowed his eyes.
Cen Heng was puzzled: "Why did you wait for Bai Kun?"
"Coolie." Xia Mingdong explained with a smile, "Don't you think we really need someone to go to the other side to determine whether those black substances are anti-gravity substances?"
Cen Heng was choked: "Are you sure that Bai Kun will help us? I remember that Bai Kun is particularly hostile to humans, right?"
In Cen Heng's eyes, Bai Kun is probably the most extreme faction among the transitioners, with the greatest hostility towards human beings. At this time...Xia Mingdong said that he wanted Bai Kun to help them?
Cen Heng felt that he would rather believe that Crystal Man was kind.
"Oh, no, it's not helping." Xia Mingdong shook his head and corrected, "It's mutual benefit. There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I believe that as long as the interests are sufficient, Bai Kun can also help us."
Cen Heng asked weakly: "What benefits?"
"For example... is the benefit of hiding missions enough?" Xia Mingdong said, "A large amount of points and props should be able to attract Bai Kun."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight vibration from the trees above his head, and a few green leaves floated down.
Afterwards, Bai Kun appeared with a passer-by face, also wearing a crystal body, and looked at Xia Mingdong coldly: "Are you looking for me?"
Ning Ge's gaze became colder and colder, and he turned his body half sideways to block Xia Mingdong's face, as if he really wanted to prevent Xia Mingdong from talking with Bai Kun, but he didn't do that after all.
Xia Mingdong thought it was good for Ning Ge to stand in front of him, so that Bai Kun would not know when to go crazy and hurt others, "Yes, I want to cooperate with you and do something."
Bai Kun stared at Xia Mingdong for a while, then suddenly said: "I remember you said before that only common interests can make us let go of hatred, now you let me cooperate with you, what about interests?"
Xia Mingdong smiled and threw out the bait: "It seems to be a clue to the hidden mission, do you want to do it?"
Bai Kun was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
"We want you to go to the back of the Floating Void City, which is the side we stand on the ground and look up. Use the eagle's beak to peck off a little material on the back, and bring it back to us with your mouth. After you do it, we may open the hidden Missions, of course, together with yours, according to experience, hidden missions should be allowed to be opened by multiple people, we are equivalent to sharing them with you."
Bai Kun: "..."
The description is too real, and he feels uncomfortable.
"What if I say no?"
Xia Mingdong shrugged: "Forget it, we will cooperate next time when we have a chance."
Bai Kun: "..."
Neither advise.
"So do you agree?" Xia Mingdong asked without sincerity, as if it didn't matter if Bai Kun agreed or not.
Bai Kun looked at Xia Mingdong expressionlessly.
Xia Mingdong said without hesitation: "If you really don't want to, forget it, let's break up."
After a long while, Bai Kun finally choked out a sentence: "I promise."
"Okay." Xia Mingdong nodded with a smile, "Then we will wait for your good news. According to my calculation, the entrance and exit of the carrier ship should be opened around [-]:[-] in the morning. Usually there is nothing that will open and no one will guard it. But I did something in the one that opened at seven tonight, be careful, good luck, see you here at nine tomorrow morning."
Bai Kun nodded coldly, turned and left.
After he left, he remembered that he forgot to ask Xia Mingdong what he had done.
However, when he saw so many crystal men guarding the entrance and exit with weapons in the morning, he felt like strangling Xia Mingdong to death.
That nasty, damned guy.
When Cen Heng saw Bai Kun leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fourth brother, you... are you really looking for cooperation with the other party? Why do you talk so indifferently?"
"You don't understand." Xia Mingdong shook his head, and said slowly: "For someone as proud as Bai Kun, if you come to him with a low profile, he will definitely look down on you. When facing an eagle like him, you must be proud and confident. He will take the bait only if you act like I am number one in the world, believe it or not."
Cen Heng was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "I understand."
Xia Mingdong really has a deep heart, oh no, it is the heart of a dark leaper, otherwise how could he have recruited so many leapers.
This is definitely not something that ordinary people can't do.
Ning Ge changed from a half-sideways posture to facing Xia Mingdong directly, still pursing his lips, with a very calm expression, appearing taciturn.
Although Ning Ge's expression was the same as before, Xia Mingdong inexplicably felt that the other party was not very happy.
He didn't rush back to the scientific research center under the dome, but asked Ning Ge first: "What's wrong?"
Ning Ge shook his head and said coldly, "It's okay."
Xia Mingdong: "..."
Generally, there is something wrong in this situation, and the matter is still very serious.
He motioned Cen Heng and the others to go further, and said seriously: "If there is something, I hope you can tell it. We are a team, and we can discuss things. I don't want to see you keep your unhappiness in your heart."
Ning Ge was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Are you caring about me?"
Xia Mingdong nodded, "Of course, I have always cared about you."
Ning Ge was silent for a long time again, his gilt black eyes showed a sense of distance in the faint sunlight, "Why do you ask Bai Kun for help?"
Xia Mingdong was dumbfounded, so it was because of this matter.
He always felt that Ning Ge had a cat-tsundere exclusive mentality. Although he seldom said it, he obviously didn't like him as a shit shoveler who was more intimate with others.
"Because it's more convenient to ask Bai Kun for help. He can fly, so it's the most suitable thing to do. We have many other things to do, so it's not suitable to spend too much energy on verification. In addition, we can't fly. , so far the only props that can fly are the carrier ship that I just snatched. I think this thing will be hunted down by the crystal people as soon as it is taken out. After comprehensive consideration, I decided to ask Bai Kun to help. Of course, it is not a help. Everyone is mutually beneficial. With the mentality of taking advantage, um, you use me, I use you..." Xia Mingdong explained to Ning Ge, the words could be regarded as rambling, and he only hoped that Ning Ge could understand.
"He is not our teammate, only common interests can make him work together..." Xia Mingdong tried to continue.
But Ning Ge suddenly reached out and touched Xia Mingdong's lips.
Xia Mingdong couldn't continue talking.
Ning Ge said in a low voice, taking his finger away, "You don't need to explain."
Xia Mingdong blinked.
"I understand." Ning Ge's voice was very calm, "We are different from him, right? We are teammates, and he is an outsider."
Xia Mingdong rolled his eyes and smiled, "That's right, it's exactly what you said."
Ning Ge seemed to be laughing too, with a gentler expression than usual.
"Actually..." Ning Ge's voice was low, "You don't have to explain. I respect you and will not oppose any of your decisions."
"Oh, no, no, no." Xia Mingdong shook his head resolutely, "I must answer questions for my teammates and not let them misunderstand. This is my principle."
In an instant, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to turn from cloudy to sunny, which surprised Cen Heng, who was peeping nearby.
Seeing them all approaching, Cen Heng felt very itchy, but he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only ask first: "Fourth, what should we do next?"
"Go back to the scientific research center." Xia Mingdong said, "Of course you have to be careful, always walk behind Ning Ge and Ren Sheng, don't get caught, it's quite troublesome to get caught, we're going to the scientific research center to investigate some matter."
Cen Heng: "Investigate what?"
"Of course it is the so-called 'birthday' of the people who investigated the crystal. I always feel that this plan must be unreliable. It is full of flags, and it will definitely go wrong. We have to see what is wrong with this plan."
What new light and levitation, this kind of stuff that looks like a cult slogan, Xia Mingdong didn't believe it at all, and the crystal man almost wrote the word "pu-jie" on his face.
"Okay, let's go back and have a look." Cen Heng knew that it would be dangerous for him to go back, but he didn't want to be separated from the main force, so he simply said, "I'll follow you, where shall we go first?"
"Let's take a look at the so-called light and levitation first. If one of them is wrong, it will be the whole board. Let's..." Xia Mingdong pondered for a moment, then decided, "Let's look at the levitation first."
The effect of force is mutual, if there is any problem on the ground, the floating city will not be easy.
Xia Mingdong returned to the scientific research center under the dome. It seemed the same as before, nothing had changed, and every crystal person was doing the work at hand indifferently.
He and Ning Ge walked back to the back of the black crystal door of "Vector" and took a look, and found that NO.17 was busy with scientific research again, as if the fact that he was almost unable to take care of himself because of the beating hadn't happened.
Xia Mingdong looked around the room, and selected the room named: Composition (161-180).
He pushed open the black crystal door and went in, and as expected, he saw a series of detection tasks behind the door——
Detect surface material changes
Detecting changes in the material of the floating city
detect air changes
Detect changes in water quality
……
There were also a series of tasks written on it, and Xia Mingdong chose the task of detecting changes in the surface material without hesitation.
After that, he walked to the analytical instrument and chose to view the surface material.
After that, he probably knew what was wrong with the levitation plan of the group of crystal people.
He said that this matter cannot be separated from the ground, as expected...
