the only savior

Chapter 633 New Moon Base (Two in One)

Although the Armstrong family is rich, it is still very difficult to spend so much money all at once.

20 billion pounds, which is almost all the amount their family can currently mobilize.

Adams doubted whether the other party had already done the investigation, otherwise how could he say such a number so accurately.

Now, even he was beginning to hesitate to make the deal.

20 billion for 5 years of life, this seems to be a very simple question.

For ordinary people, it may not be possible to earn 20 billion in a few lifetimes, let alone just 5 years.

However, Earl Armstrong was obviously not an ordinary person. Faced with such a question, he only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Wait, I have one more condition."

Just as the old earl was eagerly preparing to drink the golden liquid in the bottle, Ji Xiaoqi over there spoke again.

"You have to pay all the money within three days, otherwise, we will take it back by ourselves."

Adams narrowed his eyes when he heard this, Ji Xiaoqi's threat was very explicit, which made him very uncomfortable.

He couldn't even remember when he had been threatened like this, 40 years?Or 50 years?

At this moment, the old earl involuntarily exuded a majestic aura.

Just like a lion king in his twilight years, even at the end of his life, he still has his unshakable power.

However, in the next second, a more terrifying aura burst out from the girl.

This aura is different from the majesty of the old earl. It is as real as it is. In an instant, the heartbeats of the ordinary people present accelerated, and the blood flow in the whole body also accelerated.

Adams was horrified.

Although he already looked highly at the person in front of him, he never thought that the other person would be able to make him feel as if he was about to suffocate with just a look in his eyes.

Yes, this is a real suffocation, not a psychological effect.

He quickly picked up the oxygen on the side and took a few big gulps before he recovered.

"Three days, I will pay all the money."

This was the first sentence the old earl said after putting down his oxygen mask.

Ji Xiaoqi nodded in satisfaction, and regained her aura as an awakened person.

"I hope you can do what you say and don't let us down."

After she finished speaking, she exchanged glances with Dean beside her, and the two activated their teleportation ability at the same time, a dazzling pattern erupted under their feet, and then their figures disappeared into the room as the light converged inside.

Looking at the place where they were standing in amazement, Adams was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Master, they're gone, look at this matter..."

The old butler Moore hurried up, but he stopped in the middle of speaking.

Adams held out a hand to stop his next words.

He knew what this old buddy who had been with him for decades was going to say, but he didn't have the heart to discuss this issue at all at the moment, all his eyes were on the bottle of potion in his hand.

Carefully opened the bottle cap, looking at the flowing golden light inside, with complicated eyes.

After about ten seconds, the old count raised his hand tremblingly, brought the bottle to his mouth, and drank it down.

……

On the other side, on the moon, inside the Dawn.

Ten starlights suddenly lit up on a door panel with a strange pattern, and the Star Alliance Beacon outlined a huge portal out of thin air, from which Ji Xiaoqi and Dean walked out.

"Uh...well, Xi He, I've always wanted to ask you a question..."

Dean hesitated to speak.

"Xi Hehe, our mission is over, you can just call me by my name, it sounds weird to call me by my code name when I come back."

Ji Xiaoqi waved her hand.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Dean also reacted, and then changed his words and asked:

"Ji Xiaoqi, in fact, I was a little worried at the beginning. Do you think that Armstein will renege on his debts, or find us through our information?"

Dean expressed all his worries in one breath.

Faced with these questions, Ji Xiaoqi didn't take them to heart at all.

"Dean, you're overthinking. That guy Armstrong is a smart guy. After seeing our strength, he knows how to choose. Besides... I don't think he can take the Star Alliance's account."

"As for the investigation you are worried about, it is even more unnecessary. The Star Lord has a special ability that can block certain tracking methods to a certain extent. In addition, we now have the technology of the Dawn and the Ancient Lens, As long as we are unwilling, no one in this world can find us."

Dean nodded thoughtfully, but there was still concern on his face.

"However, that Butler Moore attended my auction last time. He knows where to find us. Will our manor branch be exposed?"

Ji Xiaoqi glanced at her mouth disdainfully, and said:
"Cut, so what if he knows where it is? As long as he doesn't want to completely turn against us, he can only keep this secret in his stomach. Don't worry, our companions from the Canglan Department will solve the rest. You have to trust their ability."

While the two were talking, they had already taken the internal elevator to the activity center of the Dawn.

"Huh? Why are you here, Dean?"

A woman passed by here and greeted them happily when she saw them.

"And Xiaoqi, when did you guys come here... Oh, could it be the teleportation ability you used? That's really convenient!"

It was Dean's girlfriend Tina who was speaking, the current head of the Biological Research Department in the Star Alliance.

Dean walked over and kissed the other party, and Ji Xiaoqi, who was watching from the side, felt a little tired.

"We were on a mission just now, Ji Xiaoqi told me to use teleportation when leaving, not to go out, or use the Star Stone, it will look more stylish."

Dean explained what happened to his girlfriend a little bit, and then asked again:

"Tina, what about you? Don't you have work today? Why are you on the Dawn? By the way, where are we now?"

Tina pushed Dean away, and she felt a little embarrassed to distribute dog food in front of such a living person as Ji Xiaoqi.

"You are all here, but you still don't know where we are, it's really..."

She gave her boyfriend a blank look, then walked to the side wall, stretched out her hand and pressed a few buttons on it, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

The originally bright lights suddenly went dark, and everything around them turned black.

Immediately afterwards, endless starlight began to appear around the three of them, and not far away, a huge sphere exuding a white halo appeared in front of their eyes.

"Is this... the moon?"

Ji Xiaoqi was fascinated by the beautiful scene in front of her, and muttered its name to herself.

Tina's eyes shone with excitement.

"That's right, we are now on the back of the moon. The star master asked us to participate in the postgraduate entrance examination mission on the moon base. We will land in three or ten minutes."

As she spoke, she lit up the stack of documents in her hand again, and continued:
"I just sorted out the information about the moon tree, and I will test it myself after landing. How about it, are you interested in coming together? The star master said that the moon's shield has been perfected, and the ecological environment inside the shield and We are the same on Water Blue Planet, this is really unbelievable!"

When Ji Xiaoqi and Dean heard what she said, they also remembered that their boss had indeed said these words two days ago.

But later they forgot because of the mission. Now that they meet, they naturally want to go and have a look.

The three chatted and waited for a while, and it wasn't long before other people rushed over.

Ji Xiaoqi looked around and found that the people who came were all big bosses in the research department of the organization, Zhao Liang from the aviation department, Richard and Pascal from the astronomical research department, Sun Mingsheng from the scientific research department, etc.

"It seems that the scale of this mission to the moon is quite large. It seems that people from our organizational research department have come."

Ji Xiaoqi looked at the surrounding crowd with some emotion, and greeted a few people she knew from time to time.

There were a lot of people in the hall, about fifty people in total.

These are all researchers recruited by the Star Alliance in the recent period, and each one is an elite in the industry.

These people can be said to be the foundation of the Star Alliance. With these researchers, the construction and development of the organization will become faster.

Both Ji Xiaoqi and Dean are awakened and belong to the Three Great Temples. They have already taken off their brown robes at this moment, revealing their dreadnought attire.

Those researchers saw two Awakened beings among themselves and the others, and they both came over to say hello to them, and they would also perform a star touch salute by the way.

Although there are no explicit regulations, everyone respects the members of the Three Great Temples very much. In their view, being able to wear the dreadnought suit is an extremely glorious thing in itself.

During the conversation, the planned time had come, and the spacecraft slowly sailed towards the moon under the expectant eyes of everyone.

As the distance gets closer, the moon, which exudes a beautiful aura, gradually shows its true side.

Looking from this position, you can clearly see the chaotic craters on its surface.

"Huh? What is that?"

Someone suddenly pointed in front of the holographic image and shouted.

Everyone also noticed the situation there.

"World Tree! It's the World Tree! We also have a World Tree on the moon!"

A researcher recognizes what is in front of him.

On the surface of the moon, a large emerald green tree nearly [-] meters high stood there, with lush branches and leaves, which seemed out of place with the bare surroundings.

"That's a branch of the World Tree. The mother tree in our base is on the island in the middle of Qixing Lake. I've always wanted to take a closer look, but I never found the opportunity. I didn't expect to touch the moon first. This is the one on top."

Sun Mingsheng expressed emotion.

As the director of the scientific research department, he usually presides over scientific research work in the outside Danlan Starry Sky Company, and rarely returns to the main base, so he has never had the opportunity to get in touch with the legendary World Tree.

Although other people have seen it more or less, but for this kind of legendary thing, everyone hopes to get in touch with it more. Now that they have the opportunity, they all seem very excited.

In this way, the Dawn carried everyone, slowly approached the moon, and then entered the base through the shield.

But at this time, some small accidents happened.

On the horizon not far away, many small black spots suddenly flew out densely. They were extremely fast, and they came to everyone in a short while.

"This is? Desolate Zerg!?"

Ji Xiaoqi immediately recognized the monster in front of her.

To be a qualified member of the temple, one must not only have strong combat power, but also have a thorough understanding of the aliens.

When the others were reminded by her, they also understood the identities of those things, and they immediately became nervous.

There were too many bugs, there were hundreds of them, they flew over mightily, covering a small piece of sky.

At this time, the Shuguang had already entered the shield, and the bugs wanted to rush over, but they all hit a wall, and some unlucky ones just fell down and died.

"Isn't this the moon? There is no air, why can they fly? And the gravity here is so small, can they fall to death?"

An old researcher looked straight at the eyes and spoke out his doubts.

Tina adjusted her glasses and explained:

"I have studied the corpses of these wild insects. Their ability to fly is not purely dependent on air, but that kind of dark energy. And I found that they seem to be able to secrete a special substance in their bodies, which allows them to adjust themselves , to adapt to a variety of space environments."

Ji Xiaoqi also nodded and added:
"That's right, I have also seen this information in heterogeneous materials. Although their special adaptability can allow them to move freely in space, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is too mediocre. For them , no disadvantages, but no advantages.”

After listening to their answers, everyone had a new understanding of these bugs.

"Then, they are here to attack the shield now, is this okay...?"

Ji Xiaoqi smiled.

"Don't underestimate this shield, just relying on this amount of bugs, they won't be able to get in here for a lifetime, and..."

She paused here, stretched out her finger and pointed to the direction of the earth, reminding:

"Look there, this group of guys will be in trouble soon..."

Everyone looked over, and saw that a piece of emerald green vines had risen on the ground at some point, and in just a few breaths, the green grew exponentially.

The next moment, as countless shadows passed by, those vines opened their mouths like a giant beast, and attacked the wild insects in the sky with an overwhelming momentum.

PS: Regarding the price of that bottle of potion, I wrote 100 billion in the previous chapter, but later I found out that it was in British pounds. After thinking about it, this is a bit too exaggerated, so I changed it back to 20 billion here. Please forgive me, readers.
