Chapter 46

Time goes back to before Qi Heng entered the underground tunnel.

He walked out of Carlos's house and did not forget to close the door for Carlos.

Carlos's memories provided Qi Heng with a lot of information, much of which even Carlos didn't know. Some traces had been erased, and some had been forgotten by him.

Qi Heng first focused on Carlos's memories of life in District 1, and then on the mayor of District 49.

The North Slums are divided into 49 districts, each of which is managed by an independent district chief, who is a one-man army like 058.

If there's a single-horned individual in District 49 with the closest connection to District 1, it's undoubtedly the District Chief. It seems that because of the different status of male and female insects, they receive more "importance," and they've met the District Chief.

Carlos's memory made Qi Heng, who had originally planned to go directly to District 1, change his mind. He first went to see the district chief of District 49, and then took roughly the same approach.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't kill Carlos or the mayor.

Although Qi Heng is currently in a dungeon and killing him wouldn't have any impact on him, it would still be too troublesome.

Killing them was easy, but dealing with the trouble afterwards would take quite a while. Time was what he lacked the most right now, so there was no need to waste it on destroying the bodies.

Carlos was knocked unconscious and stuffed into a cabinet. With the force he used, Carlos would not wake up within twelve hours.

The district chief also used a similar method, except that knocking out was replaced by electric shock. The unicorn's physique is stronger than that of ordinary people, so if they were just knocked out, they would probably wake up within a few hours.

The motorcycle he was currently driving was the District Chief's personal property, used to travel between Districts 1 and 49. Its simple and unsophisticated interior was just right for adapting to the current environment on Tianyun Star.

There were no lights or direction signs in the underground tunnel. There were lights on the car, but Qi Heng didn't use them.

He doesn't need it.

A0 is responsible for giving directions. The route map transmitted directly to the brain is very clear, and if there are obstacles, A0 will also give an advance warning.

However, in fact, it was underground. Although he saw many passages along the way, Qi Heng never changed direction. The road occasionally twisted but it was always the same - it should be the main road of the underground tunnel.

A tunnel runs through forty-nine districts, and the passages next to it mostly lead to other districts on the ground.

After confirming that the Dead Egg Pit was the former nursery, he determined his location on the Lanzhou Continent on Tianyun Star... This area in the city center is all plains, which means that the terrain of this area of ​​the northern slums is the same.

Walking in a straight line underground is much faster than walking on the ground. When Qi Heng heard the voice of A0, he knew that he was about to reach the end.

"Your Excellency, we passed through forty-five entrances and exits along the way. The wheel tracks are deeper than those we passed previously, suggesting that several vehicles have passed through in a short period of time."

That means there is a risk of being discovered, Qi Heng thought.

After that, he drove along the main road for a long time. When the energy display on the car was about to run out, A0's voice rang out.

[If my estimation is correct, Your Excellency, we should have already entered Area 1.]

A0 has a floor plan of 49 areas. Based on this, estimating the distance between each area along the way is as easy as eating and drinking.

Perhaps he was lucky, as he did not encounter any danger along the way. There were no technology-related items in the tunnel, and naturally no surveillance equipment.

The reason for not using monitoring equipment is closely related to the environment of Tianyun Star, but it is probably more due to the idea that "it is unnecessary".

Now, apart from the One-Horned People, there are only the Tianjia Zerg in the slums. The latter are no different from harmless lambs kept in a sheepfold. Installing surveillance cameras on a large scale is purely a waste - there is nothing about the Zerg now that is worthy of the enemy's fear.

Ikal civilization, this civilization was not found in the database. I don’t know whether it is in the lost part of the data or is a "rising star".

Of course, it is also possible that it was a civilization that existed in the past but Qi Heng had no impression of it.

While he did memorize important NPCs and event settings during games, he wasn't exactly memorizing the names of even the smallest dogs and cats. The only things that left a lasting impression on him were the Mora civilization, which had replaced the Tianjia civilization and was now, in all likelihood, the leader of the Xinghai.

To put it in an exaggerated way, the civilizations in the Milky Way are as countless as the grains of sand in the Ganges.

There are two types of civilizations in the game: interstellar civilization and planetary civilization.

The former refers to civilizations capable of colonizing beyond their home star system, while the latter refers to civilizations that can only live in the mud of a planetary system. For the Tianjia civilization, which was once a highly advanced civilization, even the former, who could interact with the Tianjia civilization, must be the best among them.

Near the entrance and exit of Area 1, Qi Heng parked the car in a remote corner.

[Your Excellency, the ruts at the entrance and exit just past the 100-meter mark are very new and deep. After comparing the tracks...]

A0 stated its conclusion: [It's highly likely that the vehicle responsible for transporting the 'goods' mentioned by 058 will eventually pass through that intersection and be delivered to another location.]

"Yeah, I see." He replied without turning around to look.

The entrance and exit of Area 1 is similar to that of Area 49. Both are steep slopes. They are originally for vehicles and are somewhat difficult for people to walk on.

Qi Heng glanced at the two inconspicuous red dots at the entrance and heard A0's voice in his ears.

[A surveillance device has been detected and has been blocked for you.]

He wasn't surprised at all, as he had encountered the same thing when he came down from the exit of Area 49.

[What's the environment like up there?] Qi Heng stood in the corner of the entrance and exit, fingering the switch mounted on the wall.

A0 carefully scanned the ground and said, "Safe, passable."

The ground above the entrance and exit is made of metal. This simple device can control the expansion and contraction of the metal plate above. It is a rare electronic control device.

Qi Heng had A0 hack into the device and limit the entrance and exit to a size that could accommodate only one person.

The entrance and exit opened, and he left the underground at a very fast speed.

After leaving from the inconspicuous entrance, Qi Heng hid in an inconspicuous corner of a house, while glancing at the place where he came out.

Sure enough, just like Area 49, the entrances and exits were all very hidden and inconspicuous... It seemed as if they were deliberately avoiding the Zerg and didn't want them to know too many things they shouldn't know.

[A0, use the secondary scan to scan the layout of Area 1.]

【yes. 】

After Qi Heng gave the order, he didn't care about A0's reaction. He looked at the huge metal tower that was hundreds of meters high and far away from Area 1.

He had seen the tower in Carlos's memories.

This tower is out of tune with the surrounding environment. It is obviously a technological creation, but I don’t know if its function is what I imagined.

【Scanning completed.】

Qi Heng came back to his senses: [Have you found where the District 1 Chief is? Show me the way.]

A green arrow appeared under his feet.

As he came out of the corner, he enveloped himself with mental power. In this way, those whose mental power was not as strong as his would subconsciously ignore him and would not pay attention to his appearance.

With the current strength of his mental power, not only the Zerg who cannot use mental power, but even the unicorns who can use mental power will be affected by the suggestion when they see him.

Any intelligent life form can cultivate spiritual power, but the strength of the spiritual power varies. The strength of the spiritual body determines the upper limit of the spiritual power.

Although the unicorn man can use mental power, it can only use it. In the past, any female insect could beat the unicorn man.

Qi Heng thought as he followed A0's instructions, scanning the surrounding environment and comparing the images in his mind with those in Carlos' memory.

The entrance and exit of Area 1 are located in an inconspicuous position in the trading area, so Qi Heng was in the trading area as soon as he appeared. This place is not only much better than Area 49, it can even be called "prosperous".

The males were more numerous than he had expected and easier to distinguish.

The ones with semi-long hair and pampered appearance who had never been tortured could basically be confirmed to be male insects. Most of them were minors, ranging from male insect cubs who needed to be held hands to tall and straight teenagers... their number far exceeded what he had seen in District 49.

Qi Heng looked at the picture drawn after the system scanned it, and after comparing it with District 49, he found that the scope was much larger and the planning pattern was also very different. District 1 was obviously more orderly, and many places revealed a sense of "advancedness" everywhere.

He passed by other Zergs, and no one paid any attention to him, almost to the point of treating him as air.

Qi Heng walked to a house with a courtyard on the east side of the trading area. He was not afraid of being seen in his current appearance. The mental suggestion was not just "ignoring" a suggestion, but also a change in appearance.

[Master, be careful.]

[This house is equipped with numerous weapons and devices. The surveillance equipment is operating normally. If you take a step forward, the surveillance alarm will be triggered...]

When Qi Heng was clearly standing at the door, A0 did not immediately block out Qi Heng's figure in the surveillance video. Of course, it was necessary to replace it with his current appearance to the outside world.

[It seems I can't walk in openly.]

He said to A0 with some regret, and walked away as if nothing had happened, without any sign that he had deliberately stayed.

Qi Heng went around to the back of the house, put on optical camouflage on himself and blocked the surveillance detection equipment, then turned over and went directly into the yard and climbed in from the balcony on the second floor of the house.

Thanks to the fact that District 1 has developed better than District 49, the houses in the trading area here are not only normal, but are even two-story buildings.

With a light somersault, Qi Heng landed on the balcony on the second floor. He pushed open the French window and walked into the room.

“Where are the people?” he asked.

[Downstairs, scanned three signs of life activity downstairs. In addition to the District 1 Chief, there are two other people.]

[What's going on?]

[Your Excellency, we can broadcast the video if you need.]

[Can. ]

The second after he agreed to A0's suggestion, a live video appeared on the system interface, and the scene played on it was exactly the scene downstairs at that moment.

Qi Heng was multitasking.

While distracted, he walked to the desk nearby. After seeing the black mirror tablet on the desk, he said to A0: "Check it out."

A0 quickly responded: "Your Excellency, the computer you have is a microcomputer and requires a fingerprint to unlock it. But don't worry, it's easy to hack into the system."

【——The invasion was successful.】

Before A0 finished speaking in Qi Heng's ear, the screen of the microcomputer in his hand suddenly lit up.
