Chapter 70 (Catching Bugs)
The Tower of No Annihilation takes off.
Fifteen minutes after ignition, the condensate was still burning, but the tower base had slightly transformed and shrunk, moving in the direction of a smaller volume.
It is five meters above the ground.
The dark storm outside was still raging, and it would not stop unless Shen Jian took control of the time-space machine. The young leader stared at the window with a visibility of less than three meters for a long time. He could no longer see the faint light that had been faintly present in the forest outside a few days ago.
The earphone was flickering slightly, and it was obvious that the person on the other end of the line was very nervous about the call. He didn't dare to hang up, but he also didn't dare to answer the call.
but.
Being willing to bear the leader's anger like a storm and not hesitate to make a phone call has proved that this is a negotiation that is beneficial to the leader.
As for what emotions were contained in it... Shen Jian didn't care. He still admitted that Yun was his subordinate, even though he had personally nailed the nail of betrayal; but he also reserved a coffin for Yun in his mind.
No matter what, Yun would definitely be killed by him, even though he might really be the consciousness of his Wuyan Tower.
Chen Jian was very calm. He pressed the headset and walked out of the living room, then walked out of the leader's room. This time, it was not Chen An standing behind him, but [Chen Jian].
[Chen Jian] let go of his cloak, leaving only his pine-green bones supporting him. His dark eyes, like Chen Jian's, reflected the straight back of the leader in front of him.
His standing in this position represented Shen Jian's identity, so the subordinate who came to find [Shen Jian] with the documents dropped the confidential documents on the floor.
"Your decision is right. Taking off is a good idea." Shen Jian stepped on the carpet. In the corridor behind him were his subordinates who were half-saluted to him after being madly shocked or were forced to half-salute by the people around them. Shen Jian didn't even glance at them, his eyes were fixed on the temporary hall that was vacated as a war preparation room.
"No." [Chen Jian] denied calmly, "If you hadn't come, my choice would have been to lead the world directly into the abyss and become the giant python that devours the world."
“Rather than letting the world die in an unknown vortex, I might as well do it myself.” [Chen Jian] expressed his thoughts without reservation.
The young leader walking in front of him did not respond. His expression was calm, as if he did not hear the man behind him who was exactly the same stubborn as the leader - in Shen Jian's eyes, not struggling was already a sin.
Shen Jian was very afraid that if he thought too deeply about the logic of these two people, he would collapse and die of anger.
[Chen Jian] ignored his subordinates and just raised his hand slightly to signal the researcher who was adjusting the data in the hall to leave, leaving only Shen Tu and Shen An.
"Shen Tu," he introduced to Shen Jian, "You haven't recovered your memory, but I can tell you why he is ranked at the second highest level of authority: he built the Wu Yan Tower, the Wu Yan Tower in the physical sense."
"The people in the tower know the identity of your counterpart, but your direct descendants know more - you should be familiar with the list of direct descendants. The number of people you know will be no less than the number of people in the tower now."
Shen Jian's gaze paused on Shen Tu.
Shen Tu was wearing a suit and smiled slightly, “Leader of the other world, greetings to you.”
He bowed slightly and said, "I hope you can visit your Shentu after you go back. Even if you don't tell me, I really want your praise. I think I would like the same thing no matter who you are."
He consciously or unconsciously fought for the welfare of his peers and asked politely.
Shen Jian had just sat down in the command seat, and when he heard the words, he glanced at him, and then glanced at [Shen Jian].
[Chen Jian] was silent for a while. Facing Shen Tu's elegant smile, considering that the Wuyan Tower needed Shen Tu very much to ascend, he reluctantly threw away his bad taste and said, "If you want something, you can tell me."
...without having to express one's emotions through a peer in a roundabout way like this.
Shen Tu shrugged, as if he was very aware of his own value, and stood beside Shen Jian, using Shen Jian's protection to sigh openly. Shen Jian still had no expression, but his brows relaxed a little, and he looked at [Shen Jian] with a faint gloating.
【Chen Jian】: “…”
[Chen Jian]: "Chen Tu, work overtime tonight."
Shen Jian calmly listened to the little jokes that were obviously meant to lighten the atmosphere, and reluctantly raised the mood as they wished.
However, Shen Jian did think of Shen Tu this time... Although, but. Shen Jian's movements of tapping the control panel slowed down, and his expression was suspiciously subtle.
If Yun is the consciousness of the Immortal Tower, and Solomon is Yun's creation, or a derivative, then the path to creating the Immortal Tower itself...
Isn't that a father? No, no, no, he has become a grandfather.
Shen Jian resolutely refused to think about whether he was more qualified to be the grandfather and the father, and planned to tell Shen Tu this matter that would make the whole tower happy after returning to the tower.
Look, Wuyan Tower is the first cadre to skip all the processes and directly have a successor! Worth celebrating!
Shen Jian thought so, thoughtfully, “Shen Tu.”
He gently stroked his earphone.
Just now, the communication was connected, but the other party was silent for a long time, so Shen Jian thought about it and turned off the communication.
This time, the person on the other end of the line frantically called Chen Jian to request a connection, as if he was very afraid that Chen Jian would hang up once and would not answer the call again.
“Yes, sir?” Shen Tu adjusted his tie, regaining his reserve and elegance, and the perfect restraint of aristocratic etiquette adorned him.
Ah, it's time to get down to business. Shen Tu thought slowly, and finally calmed down this leader of another world - Wu Yanta. The leader's expression just now seemed as if he was going to go out and kill someone, or directly hold up a sword and kill his betrayer on the gallows.
But Shen Jian's next words almost made Shen Tu fall flat on his face.
Shen Jian turned around and clicked the headset that suddenly turned off the breathing light, and asked with a smile, "Shen Tu, why don't you wear that red and green suit with a dark blue brooch and cufflinks?"
The leader listened attentively to the thirteenth call that came to his ear and knocked on the table slowly.
Psychological warfare...fight with him?
Shen Jian smiled slightly.
"My tower, 'you' obviously like to dress like this."
"That's not me, leader." Shen Tu quickly denied with an expressionless face, "Individual differences won't be that great, it must not be me, please execute him on the spot when you go back."
Shen An laughed silently for a while, with merciless ridicule in his soft eyes.
Shen Jian made eye contact with the uniformed leader behind him.
Chen An had been standing in the corner for some time, silently pulling down his cloak.
He followed his master's orders and tried his best to avoid meeting Shen An. He carefully covered his face which was exactly the same as Shen An's, but it seemed that all his efforts failed at this moment.
Fortunately, Shen Jian saved him and casually turned away Shen An's gaze that was about to look over: "Shen An."
"Hmm? Another boss." Shen An's eyes sparkled, and he came forward, his chestnut hair rubbing against the document in Shen Jian's hand, blocking some of the words, "What do you want to ask?"
Shen Jian paused. He still remembered how his own Shen An disturbed his work when he was being unreasonable.
Shen Jian was silent for a while, and decided to fight back, "Here, the file."
He put the half-meter-thick documents on the table into Shen An's arms, and the confused subordinate slowly typed a question mark.
"It's yours, all of it."
I can only say that they are indeed peers, even the maximum penalties recognized are in the same approval documents.
[Chen Jian] glanced at the scene in front of him and shrugged.
And the seventeenth communication that sounded again in the headset seemed to have been forgotten by the smiling Shen Jian at the bottom of the sea.
[Chen Jian] just stood in the same place as Shen An, watching calmly and with a half-smile as Shen Jian easily won over the hearts of the two direct descendants.
"I said, he can do something that we can't do." [Chen Jian] glanced at Chen An, who was pursing his lips beside him, not knowing what he was thinking, and rubbed his hair nonchalantly.
"Oh, don't worry, your leader only has one subordinate in this world." [Chen Jian] shrugged, "This is the necessary strategy for him to mobilize the Wuyan Tower... Maybe you understand?"
Shen An gritted his teeth and stared closely at Shen Jian's hand that was stroking Shen An's head. Three seconds later, he squeezed out two words from his throat, "I, understand."
But he was still very unhappy. Well, he really wanted to hang the two people who were circling his leader outside the top of the tower.
[Chen Jian] sighed pretentiously, "Shouldn't it be time for the two of us left to get in touch with each other..."
Shen An turned and left.
[Chen Jian] looked dryly at the figure that was getting farther and farther away and faster, and looked at Chen Jian with the angry symbol of the sun xue.
Didn't he just discuss Shen Jian's psychological problems with Shen An and suppress his spirit of sacrifice? Was there any need to dislike him so much?
Shen Jian touched Shen An’s head, glanced at him, and uttered two silent words.
You deserve it.
.
Taking off may seem like a decision of survival from a distance, but at this moment it seems to symbolize something else.
The natural disaster was far more urgent and devastating than the virus storm in the previous world. Wu Yanta also chose to turn a blind eye on the surface, but this time it seemed completely different.
The terrifying flag that spanned half the world was spread out in the sky, covering up half a dozen sunlight, but now it seemed to cover the dark and bloody sky, allowing people to at least look directly at some things in the human world.
Shen Jian connected to Solomon's communication, maintaining precious silence, and then heard a faint voice coming through the electronic sound.
"Good day, sir," Yun whispered.
Shen Jian didn't answer, but stopped by the huge glass window in the corridor.
The Wuyan Tower has risen thirty meters into the air. From a distance, one can still see a bit of the original color of the forest, although they are already tangled and twisted, like a rotten forest that has experienced a world of destruction.
It is worth mentioning that the residential area near the Wuyin Tower was the least affected in terms of area and severity. The reason was that [Chen Jian] had previously levied six times more taxes on various types of taxes, so that people had to hide in temporary air-raid shelters to try to pay less head tax.
Yes, oh, don't be surprised. In order to show their kindness and bribe [Chen Jian], the upper nobles even handed over the tax collection rights in the area where the Wuyan Tower was located.
Of course, when this world-destroying disaster came, the first to bear the brunt were the aristocrats who had already floated into the air. Now, apart from the flag of the Wuyan Tower, the sky was filled with aimless black debris and flesh and fat.
All large organizations and territories were crushed, leaving only a small number of top-level resources and manpower in highly defensive war preparedness posts and nuclear-resistant safe houses. Most people could not even support themselves to walk to safe shelters.
Now, the Wuyan Tower seems to have become the only institution in the world that can operate government affairs.
When he appeared on the terrace of the Wuyan Tower wearing the cloak of the leader of this world's Wuyan Tower, something was thrown into his hands in less than a second.
The strong wind that burst out from the air when he swung the sword made Shen Jian unable to react, but he subconsciously did not throw the thing down. He slightly moved his steps, tensed his muscles to release the force, and looked down.
