Chapter 98 Discovery
After only a few days, Chu Zhao looked at the reminder sent by Nan Yu on his personal terminal, gently touched Zhou Jiu's face, whispered in Zhou Jiu's ear, and started putting on his clothes: "Xiao Jiu, I have to go. Someone has come to this place."
Zhou Jiu opened his eyes, grabbed his clothes from the side, and quickly began to put them on: "I understand."
"There are still almost two months left. I might not be able to make it in time, but don't sign any documents in the end. I will find a lawyer in advance."
Zhou Jiu nodded, then suddenly remembered that Saiwei had said the same thing to her, and that they still had things to discuss later.
Zhou Jiu quickly shook his head, as if tossing his hair, and said, "No need. A friend of mine has already made arrangements. I need to go back to Qiyuan Technology Company first to discuss a collaboration with my friend."
"That Saiwei I met last time?" Chu Zhao asked, recalling the two lawyers from the last time.
“…Yes, you have a pretty good memory.” Zhou Jiu said the last sentence in a low voice.
"That's fine too. The lawyer he hired is indeed very experienced. Just don't sign anything casually."
Zhou Jiu listened to Chu Zhao's instructions and said with a smile, "I know, don't worry, I'm just a nobody, and the First Military Region isn't that busy."
Chu Zhao disagreed, saying, "That's because you don't know your abilities. Divination is something that needs to be kept secret and not easily publicized. Once its special nature is revealed, everyone will want to possess it. Moreover, this special power is truly amazing. There has never been a stop in the speculation about this ability online. The higher-ups also hope that more people will acquire this ability. Especially now that many people suspect that your mecha combat capabilities are also related to this mysterious metaphysics, the military also wants to possess it. Especially when exploring resources on Ancient Blue Star in the future, your ability can save them a lot of manpower and resources."
"So you must not sign anything casually when the time comes, and you should also check the final confirmation form."
Zhou Jiu looked at the rambling Chu Zhao and helplessly made a "okay" gesture. "Okay, I understand. I will definitely wait for the lawyer to read and sign it. Don't worry."
After Zhou Jiu brought the food supplies Chu Zhao had left him to the cave he frequented, he came out and looked at the sky in the direction Chu Zhao had left. He gently tugged at Qi Qi's hair and said, "Qi Qi, why do I suddenly feel a little lonely?"
“…I hate goodbyes.” Zhou Jiu said to Qi Qi, then picked up his light blade and began hunting again.
When Elsa arrived with several guards in a small flying vehicle, Zhou Jiu was roasting a strange beast in the wild, which smelled very fragrant. When he saw the small flying vehicle arrive, Zhou Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhou Jiu quickly ate the meat, silently counting in his mind.
Elsa was accompanied by four guards in military uniforms as she approached Zhou Jiu.
Zhou Jiu quickly threw the remaining meat in the opposite direction from Elsa and the others, and at the same time, he quickly rushed towards them.
The guards raised their guns in unison. Zhou Jiu quickly raised his hands and ran slightly to the side of Elsa's direction, retreating while saying quickly, "There's a monster coming, let's go!"
Elsa stopped, signaling the guards to be on their guard. Zhou Jiu quickly withdrew from the encirclement filled with the strong smell of roasted meat, climbed up a tree in a few steps, and stood on a branch looking down at Elsa and the others in the encirclement. He waited until they were injured before dropping his homemade stink bomb.
Elsa and her companions failed to evacuate in time and began to be surrounded by strange beasts approaching from afar.
Of course, the fact that they dared to appear on a deserted island, and that there were only a few of them, shows that the strength of these guards should not be underestimated.
Zhou Jiu watched Elsa's nimble movements and swift actions. As she threw out the smoke bomb, the guards in their gear became even more unstoppable. The monsters gradually faded away. Zhou Jiu stood on the tree expressionlessly, his other hand, which wasn't holding the light blade, pulled it out of his pocket. This equipment is really good; it's a pity that ordinary rank-and-file soldiers don't have it.
"Impressive skills, Major Elsa is quite capable." Zhou Jiu whistled as he sat on a tree branch.
"Zhou Jiu, has anyone broken in here?" Major Elsa ignored Zhou Jiu's behavior and went straight to the point.
"Outsiders? Is the major referring to himself and the other guards?" Zhou Jiu asked with a hint of doubt, then stroked his chin. "Does this mean the major's arrival isn't because I've completed my sentence?"
"Zhou Jiu, high-altitude equipment has detected a spacecraft landing here. Are you sure you didn't know?"
"I'm being chased by these monsters all day long, Major. Haven't you experienced it yourself?" Zhou Jiu said helplessly, pointing to the monster's corpse on the ground and swinging his legs as he sat on a tree branch.
Before Major Elsa could say her second sentence, Zhou Jiu said, "Is there really a spaceship? Where is it now? I want to go look for it. Major, you have no idea how bored I am on this wretched island. The food and sleep are terrible. I think I can have a better time on the spaceship."
"But is it really not time for me to be released yet? I feel like it's probably time." Zhou Jiu jumped down from the tree branch with a hint of disappointment and walked towards Elsa.
"Please stop," said one of the guards behind Major Elsa, blocking Zhou Jiu's approach.
Zhou Jiu smiled slightly and took a few steps back: "Sorry, I forgot, I'm considered a dangerous element in the Federation."
"There are still one month and twenty-eight days left. I will be back soon."
"It's still so long?" Zhou Jiu sighed expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over the already devoured roasted beast meat on the ground. "Today's dinner is gone again."
"You've been on this deserted island for so long, and you know that grilling meat will attract monsters, so why did you keep grilling it?" Elsa noticed Zhou Jiu's gaze, raised her eyes and asked with a hint of suspicion. In her eyes, the landing of this unknown spacecraft was very likely to involve Zhou Jiu.
"Major, are you alright? Look at me." Zhou Jiu pointed to himself.
Facing Elsa's gaze, Zhou Jiu shrugged slightly. "Please, I'm a normal human being. I don't like eating raw meat. Major, what you're asking is almost like asking 'Why not eat meat porridge?' If I don't eat it, am I supposed to eat wild fruits every day? Besides, if you can find some wild fruits to fill your stomach this season, I'll give you a free fortune telling."
"Let's go." Elsa glanced at Zhou Jiu, offered no reply, and began exploring in another direction.
Anyway, Chu Zhao had already left, and she had helped clean up the mess. After that…
Zhou Jiu, holding the light blade, called out a few more times in Elsa's direction, "Major, talk to me some more, I've been holding it in for so long, I haven't spoken in ages."
"Gaga." Qiqi let out a mocking sound.
Zhou Jiu patted Qi Qi's head, "Well, Qi Qi, you've been making fun of me more and more lately!"
After walking for a while, Elsa turned around and looked at Zhou Jiu, who was chatting away in the distance as if no one else was around. She said to the guard beside her, "Bei Yi, when you release Zhou Jiu, remember to contact a psychologist."
"Yes, Major."
