Chapter 287 Garden of Eden

Hook no longer had the same air as before. His hands and feet were tied up and he was still in the middle of the hall. A prankster pierced a few silver needles in his huge nose and sealed his nostrils tightly. In this way, he could not Breathe without using your mouth.

His nose was large, but his mouth was small. It seemed that the gas he inhaled from his mouth was not enough to maintain the necessary oxygen in his body. His breathing was rapid and tense, like a person gasping for breath before death.

This battle was uneven. Hook's men were obviously much more numerous than those imprisoned warriors. They were well-equipped and well-trained, while those Bloody Matrix warriors were covered in injuries. Many of them were even sallow and thin, showing signs of malnutrition. .

But in such an unfair battle, the soldiers of the bloody matrix destroyed Hook's so-called elite troops. Momentum played a decisive role in this. Fighting to make money and fighting for freedom are completely different in mental state. When death The time was so close that no one was willing to die for their monthly salary, and most of Hook's guards chose to surrender without a fight.

Xia Fei pointed at Hook, who had a bruised nose and face, and said, "Aren't you going to give him to me? I have no interest in him, but you have been tortured by him for many years, so it is up to you to decide his fate."

The butcher laughed and said, "Since you said so, I won't refuse. Brothers, take him out and do whatever you want with him."

Judging from the tone of the butcher's words, he seemed to be the leader of this group of warriors.

"I have been looking forward to this day for a long time"

"My grandson, the suffering I have suffered must be paid back to you twice as much today."

Everyone yelled and carried the hook out of the hall and threw it on the ground, and then a bloody feast began. The anger in their hearts needed to be vented, and the hook was the best vent for the soldiers.

There were only three people left in the hall, Xia Fei, Shen Dong and Butcher.

Xia Fei said: "If there is nothing else, I want to go back first. Brother Butcher, you should also contact your family as soon as possible. After so many years, your family must be worried about you."

The butcher nodded, "I have to go back home. We'll talk about this later. Come with me first."

The three people walked out of the hall and walked straight to the backyard. Everything about this house had a big character. There was actually a mountain in the huge backyard. This was not a rockery for viewing, but a real mountain with trees, flowers, and streams. It's really beautiful.

There is a clear spring flowing down the mountain, forming a small waterfall with a width of less than half a meter. There is also a pool of clear water at the foot of the mountain.

The butcher led Xia Fei and Shen Dong to the pool, pointed to the water with one hand and said: "Down here is where Hook hides his property. Most of it has been robbed, but there are still some good things. This time we Being able to get out of trouble is all thanks to your plan, so brothers discuss finding an opportunity to repay you. Don't be too little if you don't have much. "

Xia Fei smiled slightly and said: "The more gold, silver, treasures and the like, the better. I won't refuse. Why don't we go down and have a look."

Taking a deep breath, the three people jumped into the water. They saw that the depth of the pool was about thirty-seven or eight meters. A small door was opened on the side wall. It was only big enough for one person to pass through, and vague lights shone from inside.

After swimming through this door, there was another man-made pool. Xia Fei emerged from the water and watched. A brass statue with a height of more than ten meters stood in it. It was inlaid with various gems, but these attractive stones had already been dug up. Go away, leaving only holes all over.

The surroundings are empty, and the air circulation system is still working tirelessly without knowing that its owner is dead.

"As soon as the Bloody Matrix was in chaos, Hook's men began to rob this place. Most of the things were snatched away by them. Fortunately, we found out in time and kept some of them from their hands. Otherwise, this place would have been robbed long ago. ” said the butcher.

Xia Fei nodded, "This is probably the tragedy of the hero. Hook is too strong and thinks that every subordinate will obey him. Little does he know that this kind of obedience comes from the fear of him. Once Hook can no longer intimidate his subordinates with his strength, he will also It’s time for him to perish.”

The butcher seemed to understand. He patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said, "Come here, let me show you what the brothers left for you."

Whoosh

With his feet touching the ground, the butcher flew up to the shoulders of the statue, took out a mahogany box from the statue's head, and then jumped down again. It turned out that its head was hollow and contained a mystery.

"We found this accidentally and didn't open it to look at it. It must be a good thing to be hidden so well," the butcher said.

Xia Fei put away the box and nodded, "Thank you, Shen Dong and I will go back now. What are you going to do?"

The Butcher said: "Many of us need to take a break. After all, who can live without pain in the Bloody Matrix all year round? We also need to find a way to contact the Navy Headquarters to wipe out this drug production base in one fell swoop. We must not let Bliss Powder continue to cause harm. ”

Xia Fei thought for a while, took out a notebook and wrote down his email address, then tore off the page and handed it to the butcher, "This is my contact information. I have a company in my hometown, big or small." It’s not too small. If you can find me useful, please feel free to contact me.”

The butcher took the note and nodded solemnly: "Brother Xia Fei, have a good trip."

Xia Fei smiled and said, "I don't know your real name yet?"

The Butcher laughed loudly, "The name is just a code name. Since everyone calls me The Butcher, I will use this name."

"That's fine." Xia Fei smiled and said, "We'll see you later."

Whoosh

Shen Dong's Tristan class flew into the starry sky. After adjusting the automatic navigation, Shen Dong walked out of the control room and found Xia Fei making tea in the restaurant.

"It's set. The destination is the capital star circle. Hook's lair is hidden in a special space. There is no way to find it without coordinates. Fortunately, I had already marked the location when I came here. It only takes two jumps to escape. Then you can connect to the Star Network," Shen Dong said.

Xia Fei poured a cup of tea for Shen Dong, "Take a rest. What are you going to do when we get to the capital star circle?"

Shen Dong had a melancholy look on his face, "Hey, there are still a lot of things to worry about. Do you still remember that I promised to help Yue Ge find those weird things?"

Xia Fei nodded, "I remember, but Yue Ge is also in the capital."

"What is she doing there?" Shen Dong asked curiously.

Xia Fei said: "According to her, her family is planning to let her marry Bai Ye. Of course she is not willing, but she can't refuse the family's request, so she is very embarrassed."

"That white night in the training camp?"

"Exactly."

Shen Dong shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I've noticed it a long time ago. The way Bai Ye looked at Yue Ge was very abnormal. I heard that the Bai family has a very good relationship with the Li family of Luo Xing Financial. I'm afraid it's not Bai Ye's family that Yue Ge is afraid of, but the Bai Ye family. It’s the Li family.”

Xia Fei said: "That's it. The Li family is even more miserable than I thought. Maybe this is a common problem in the upper class. They always think that having money means they have everything."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "What? Are these people making things difficult for you?"

"No." Xia Fei didn't want Shen Dong to get involved in his troubles, so he said, "I heard what Yue Ge said."

Shen Dong didn't think anything of it. As Xia Fei, there was no reason to have any trouble with these big families at the top of the food chain, so he didn't think much about it.

"You did well in the Goldfinger Cup this time. Why don't I go to the Capital Star Circle to rest for a while, and wait until the game is over before hitting the road. Running back and forth during this time has made me very tired," Shen Dong said.

A steely man like him rarely complains about being tired, but people are not machines after all. There will always be a day when he is tired. When Shen Dong says he is tired, it must be that he is really overworked.

After a moment of silence, Shen Dong suddenly said: "It was only when I was running alone in the sea of ​​stars that I realized what you have experienced before. In fact, you don't have to carry everything alone. Yue Ge is right, his Illusion, my freezing combined with your speed will definitely be a first-class superpower combination. If you need anything, just tell me. Anyway, I am determined to be a person who travels around, and I have no plans to settle down yet. "

Xia Fei smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After chatting with Shen Dong for a while, Xia Fei returned to the lounge and prepared to get in touch with others. This has been a fixed procedure. Every time he returns, he must first report to Avril, and then ask about the company's current situation and Qin Mang's Condition.

There was still some time before the next jump, and the star network could not yet be connected, so Xia Fei simply took the small box that the butcher gave him.

There was only an old-fashioned combination lock on the box. Xia Fei felt it was troublesome and pulled the lock open.

Poof

When thick smoke suddenly rose, Xia Fei was startled and hurriedly exited the room, pressing the exhaust system on the wall to force the air in the room into space.

"what happened?"

After receiving the alarm from the main control room, Shen Dong rushed over immediately and asked anxiously.

Xia Fei said: "The box that the butcher gave me just now contained poisonous gas. Fortunately, I was fast enough and escaped immediately. Otherwise, I would have been poisoned by now."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Could it be that the butcher did it on purpose? He knew the box was poisonous but still handed it to you?"

Xia Fei smiled and said: "You are too suspicious. He handed the box to me without even looking at it. How could he know that there was a mechanism in it? Besides, if he had had second thoughts, he would not have cooperated with me in the first place and would have looked for opportunities long ago. Let’s start now, why wait until now.”

Shen Dong felt that Xia Fei's words made sense, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two people returned to the main control room to watch the situation in the room through the video system. This ship was owned by the Shen Dong family. The decoration was much more luxurious and luxurious than ordinary civilian spaceships, and it had all the equipment. But now the magnificent room has already been It became a mess, the long-staple cotton fabric was burned, and even the titanium alloy walls were corroded with holes of different sizes.

You must know that Xia Fei opened the air exhaust system as soon as possible. Suppose that a slightly slower and more violent poisonous gas would probably directly destroy the hull of the ship, causing unpredictable consequences.

Xia Fei smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, I damaged your room."

Shen Dong let out a long breath, "Oh my God, what on earth did you activate? This thing is too poisonous. Fortunately, you reacted quickly enough. If it were you, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be any residue left."

Xia Fei shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it the box the butcher gave me? How did I know it was so powerful?"

Shen Dong's eyes shone brightly and he said: "This seemingly ordinary box actually has such a strong defense. If it is an ordinary thing, maybe what the butcher gave you will be something good."

"I hope." Xia Fei said lightly.

In fact, it was not only the rooms that were damaged, but even the ventilation system was severely corroded. Fortunately, it did not affect the normal operation of the battleship, but Shen Dong would have to spend a lot of money to repair the ship after he returned. Of course, with Shen Money has never been a problem in the Frost Empire.

He couldn't enter the room for a while, so Xia Fei had to find another bedroom and prepared to tell Avril his news.

The super micro computer finally connected to the star network. Before that, the computer kept prompting that the network was congested.

The Star Network is not the Internet on Earth. Although it is similar in nature, it is fundamentally different in terms of technology and quality. But the Star Network is actually congested? This surprised Xia Fei. He couldn't remember the last time this happened. Anyway, this was the first time that congestion happened during his contact with the Star Network.

Countless messages pop up from the window, like an explosion. In the highly information-developed Pan-Human Alliance, it is not scary to have news. What is scary is that thousands and countless messages appear at the same time.

Xia Fei frowned. It only took three days from the time he boarded Lu San's transport ship to leaving Hook's territory and returning to the alliance. What happened in such a short period of time would bring the always unbreakable Star Network to the point of collapse? ?

Opening the alliance's largest news website eec Media, it took the computer a few minutes to refresh the web page. Xia Fei took a closer look and saw that all the news on the website was about the same content. Without exception, even the recent current affairs and politics were nowhere to be found. .

About ten minutes later, Xia Fei lit up a cigarette and took a deep drag. "It seems that something big happened during my absence these days, Garden of Eden? Have you heard of Ghost Shadow?"

Guiying shook his head. This incident shocked him no less than Xia Fei.

boom

Shen Dong didn't knock on the door and rushed in directly, "Xia Fei, something big happened."

Xia Fei smiled and pointed to the light curtain in front of him, "Isn't this what you are talking about?"

Shen Dong nodded and said: "Yes, who would have thought that in just a dozen hours, there would be a place called the Garden of Eden in the world."

Xia Fei said: "The universe is full of wonders, but we still know too little about it, so we will be shocked whenever there is any disturbance."

"What do you think of this matter?" Shen Dong asked.

Xia Fei said: "The current news mainly revolves around the Hope and the 165 crew members on the Hope. Although this kind of warship obviously does not belong to any known alliance warship, it cannot be confirmed that they are indeed from In what Eden."

"It is not impossible if someone deliberately builds a weird-looking warship to deceive the public. After all, in addition to the four major shipbuilding companies in the alliance, there are many businesses that also have the ability to produce warships, so I think everything still has to wait until Until the official conclusion is reached, it is too early to say that there is a Garden of Eden.”

Xia Fei's words were based on rational analysis, and Shen Dong was slightly disappointed. After all, who doesn't want to establish direct contact with humans of the ancient lineage?

The reason for the news about Eden is that a strange distress signal was received in the Omister star field far away from the capital star circle. The signal did not belong to the alliance's regular frequency but sent a message asking for help in many of the oldest human languages.

The Omist star field is close to the edge of the alliance, and a large number of naval fleets are stationed there. In order to investigate the authenticity of this signal, the Navy headquarters sent a fleet across the border to find the owner of the signal.

After several long months, the search team found a strange-looking warship far away from the Alliance. The ship was scarred and seemed to have gone through a very harsh cosmic environment.

The one hundred and sixty-five crew members on the ship are all humans. They use one of the oldest writing and languages ​​and claim to be from New Eden.

According to them, the Garden of Eden was the greatest discovery of mankind a long time ago. It was a rich and colorful star field, quiet and peaceful, not belonging to any known space, and remaining alone in this universe.

There are no known intelligent creatures there, so humans become the local masters as soon as they enter.

Tens of thousands of human beings embarked on the road to the Garden of Eden without hesitation, yearning for a better new life. They entered the Garden of Eden through an unknown wormhole and lived there.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The wormhole leading to the Garden of Eden was not stable. The wormhole collapsed unexpectedly, and these brave immigrants and adventurers were left there forever.

The Garden of Eden is a separate space system with no routes to anywhere. It is like a closed room, existing in the sea of ​​stars, but it can only be seen with the eyes and cannot reach anywhere outside the Garden of Eden.

A long, long time has passed, and humans in the Garden of Eden have been living lonely in an unknown corner of the star sea. They have never experienced humans being destroyed by an army of robots and then rebuilt again.

But there are some human beings in the Garden of Eden who can never forget their ancestors. They organize fleet voyages again and again, trying to reach the place where human beings really originated, the Vinnar Galaxy. However, distant interstellar travel is not as simple as imagined. How many generations of hard work have gone into it? Flowing eastwards, countless lives were buried in the interstellar space.

These 165 crew members were the first residents of Eden to arrive at the Human Alliance after a long voyage. It was precisely because of their arrival that the entire alliance was flooded with news, and Eden naturally became the most eye-catching one at the moment. focus.

"The information we have received so far is too limited. We can only be sure after our fleet returns with these people. Before that, I am personally cautiously optimistic about this matter." Xia Fei said.

Shen Dong wondered: "Isn't this a good thing? The ancient immigrants have returned to the embrace of the Human Alliance. We all have the same origin and should celebrate."

Xia Fei smiled slightly: "First, what these people said has not been verified. Second, according to them, the Garden of Eden is a perfect starry sky without war and sin. I only know that where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be rivers and lakes. War and sin, they painted the Garden of Eden so beautifully that it made me suspicious.”

Shen Dong was silent for a while, "I can only say that your way of thinking is really problematic. You don't believe in the existence of a perfect world."

Xia Fei smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with my way of thinking, but you think everything is too beautiful. Let's go, the toxic gases should have been emitted. I want to see what is in the box that can emit such poisonous gases." of poisonous gas.”
