The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Gu Shenxi didn't notice the change in Chen Jing's eyes. He muttered as if talking to himself, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"When Kakosa is rebuilt... I should be considered your elder statesman in deep space, right?"

"That's a must! He must be a veteran!" The old man on the side took over the conversation and said directly, "And he's the kind of cunning rabbit that kills a lackey and kills a flying bird..."

"Stop!"

Chen Jing reached out and covered the old man's mouth, his expression became tense.

"These are unlucky words. Grandpa, you'd better stop saying them!"

Chapter 511: Land of Hope in the Wasteland (Part 1)

Chen Boxu is not a person who likes to be coerced by any force.

In wasteland terms, he is a standard lone wolf in the wilderness.

Compared to being with others or joining certain forces, he prefers to be alone... There are of course many benefits to doing this, such as being unfettered and freer, and not having to worry about someone pinching his weakness.

But again, there are disadvantages to this.

In short, it's just one sentence.

At certain critical moments, the lone wolf has no one to rely on, and when he needs help, he can only carry it alone... Chen Boxu is like this, he feels that he is his backer, so he has always been They are all used to this kind of solitary life.

The same goes for Chen Jing.

At least he once lived in isolation like the old man.

When you encounter a problem, you can solve it by yourself. If you can't solve it, you won't ask others for help. At worst, you will just lie there and let it go.

But now... Chen Jing and the others can no longer do this. The reason is simple. These residents of the walled city are almost bound to them.

If they were ignored and discovered by people from Hanging City or Evernight City, there was no telling what kind of treatment they would receive.

After all, in order to dig out the information about the deep space resuscitators, the group of alchemists and monks can do anything.

If the walled city was destroyed by the anti-Deep Space Alliance people for other reasons, neither Chen Jing nor Chen Boxu would say anything, but if the reason was Chen Jing himself... In the words of the old man, That kind of behavior is so ungrateful that even he can't do it.

In summary.

Before Chen Jing entered the arms depot, he had taken a liking to the Western Continent and planned to establish his own base here, which could also be regarded as the rear area of ​​the deep space forces...

It's not that he hasn't thought about taking everyone to deep space to find a livable planet to live in, but the risk of doing so is too great, especially for those creatures who are not members of the deep space family. If they stay in deep space for a long time, they are likely to be completely destroyed by it. erosion.

So after much deliberation, the Western Continent was suitable.

What's more, there is a reliable friend named "Xi". With him helping to look after the base in the Western Continent, Hanging City and Yongye City may not be able to defeat them even if they all come out.

After all, Xi is also an ancient god.

And according to his self-reported situation, the ancient god Xi should be stronger than Gehro, but compared with Turing... He himself is not sure that he can be stronger than Turing, but Turing wants to run wild in the Western Continent. Not that easy.

"This architectural blueprint can basically be finalized, and this will not be changed."

"Brother...are you sure you don't want to change?"

Hearing this voice of expectation and fear, Chen Jing immediately said that he would not change. If he changed again, he would be asked to go out and be hit by a dump truck.

But just before swearing the oath, Chen Jing proposed about thirty more modifications and prunings... For example, the waterway reconstruction project should start at the foot of the mountain, and the installation location of the power converter inside the walled city should also be changed. The general direction What remains unchanged is that the small direction needs to be changed.

"Okay brother... let's take it back and change it now..."

"Well, let's go."

Chen Jing looked at the ashen-faced young people in front of him and gave an encouraging thumbs up, indicating that this king of deep space absolutely believes that you can do it!

With the sound of closing the door.

There was silence in Hassad's laboratory.

This place has been temporarily used as a conference room by Chen Jing and others.

From coming back till now.

They have held thirteen consecutive meetings here, and apart from eating, drinking and going to the bathroom, key members such as Weinan Ryan Lawrence have never left here.

"Hey, everyone, please don't make the atmosphere so dull. Wei Nan, stop yawning and get excited!"

"I really want to punch you to death..." Wei Nan was lying on the sofa in the corner. He was so sleepy that he turned a blind eye and looked at Chen Jing. "You can't decide these things yourself." Okay... why are you dragging us along..."

"Have you any objections to my grandson?" Chen Bofu sat aside, holding a steaming teapot in his hand, and glanced at her sideways, "If you are willing to let you come and listen, it means that we regard you as one of our own. Do you understand?"

"That's right." Although Yan Que also felt sleepy after hearing this, she still forced her eyes to sit next to Qiao Youning... From a certain point of view, she was actually the sleepiest person present.

In addition to listening to Chen Jing and the others chattering about the meeting, they also had to endure the torture of "hypnosis" with the pen and paper in Qiao Youning's hand.

In the entire conference room, apart from the deep space trio of Chen Jing, Yegetos and Bai Aji, only Chen Bofu, the grandfather, and Qiao Youning, the friend, were willing to give face.

From beginning to end, they never yawned or said they were sleepy.

Especially Qiao Youning.

Ever since Chen Jing and the others held a meeting with the theme of "Reconstructing Kakosha", Qiao Youning had not stopped using the pen and paper in her hands. Most of them were helping Chen Jing summarize some of the key points of the meeting and the items to be discussed later.

Yanque sat next to Qiao Youning and kept observing, only to find that Qiao Youning's writing was as beautiful as Chen Jing's. Her delicate handwriting was just like her own personality. There seemed to be a soft and weak atmosphere between the lines, but she was also vaguely capable. See that silent strength.

"Sister Youning, have you ever learned to draw?"

"Well, I learned it after graduation... Actually, I always wanted to learn painting when I was a child, but my family didn't allow it."

"Why?" Yanque asked puzzledly.

"Because... you don't deserve it, right?"

Qiao Youning tilted her head and thought for a while, now she could talk about those dark memories with a smile on her face.

"I haven't been liked by my family since I was a child. If possible, they wouldn't even let me go to school. How could I have the chance to learn painting? Only after I graduate can I leave them and have the opportunity to learn what I want to learn. "

Although Qiao Youning lowered her voice when talking to Yanque, everyone present was an old descendant, and even Tsukano Kushiro at the edge could hear him.

"What? Your family treats you badly?" Chen Bofu glanced at her with a cigarette in his mouth.

Qiao Youning raised her head and smiled at the old man, then continued to draw on the white paper with her head lowered, and continued to outline the Kakosa in his imagination for Chen Jing.

"Maybe they don't regard me as a family member."

"You Ning's family members are quite excessive..." Chen Jing secretly tugged on the corner of the old man's clothes to signal him not to ask any more questions.

Chen Bofu was obedient and didn't ask any more questions. He just shook the ashes from his cigarette and started to point out the country.

"I'll kill you if I treat you badly. Damn it, tiger poison can't even eat its children. It won't even let a child want to learn to draw. What's the point of keeping such a parent here... You Ning, how about I let Jingjing go?" Help you, does your family live in Jijudu? Can it be done in ten minutes?"

As he said that, the old man slapped Chen Jing on the shoulder.

"Go, dear grandson, kill them all, leave no one behind!"

Chapter 512: Land of Hope in the Wasteland (Part 2)

Chen Jing was immediately confused by the old man's thinking and logic.

It depends on what the old man means.

He seemed to have heard that Qiao Youning's family did not allow her to learn painting, and then he suggested to kill them all... This kind of life-threatening decision was too decisive, right? !

"They are all dead." Qiao Youning smiled and said, "They died a long time ago, and now I am the only one left in the family."

"Ah... that's good!" Chen Bofu smacked his lips, and it seemed from his tone that he really thought so.

Before the old man could say anything else, Qiao Youning suddenly raised the drawing paper in her hand and shook it at Chen Jing like a child, begging for praise with a childish look on her face.

"Ah Jing! I've drawn a rough blueprint of the building branch for you! Look at it like this!"

Hearing Qiao Youning's words, everyone turned to look at the drawing paper in her hand, and saw that the pictures on it were all outlined with simple black lines, like sketches, depicting a slightly retro building complex for everyone.

"Your design is quite retro." Hassad touched his chin and said, "Are the two crossed rings above decorations? Is the one at the back a temple?"

Qiao Youning smiled and nodded yes, looking straight at Chen Jing, hoping that this design blueprint would satisfy him. After all, he had already rejected more than a dozen sketches sent by the "designers" within the walled city.

"This is……"

Chen Jing looked at the buildings outlined on the white paper, and felt that they all looked like the Kakosha in Huang Wang's memory. However, the geographical environment of the design map changed with reality. Qiao Youning carefully placed the original buildings in the mountains, Replaced in this plain of the Western Continent.

"Whether it is a temple or a civil building, in addition to the water and electricity system, all buildings need to have buried pipes underground to allow for the flow of deep space energy, thereby connecting the entire Kakosa together and turning it into a ritual capable of destroying the continent. …”

If these words were said by Chen Jing, then no one would be surprised. After all, as the master of deep space, it is normal for him to understand such rituals related to deep space.

But the problem is... Qiao Youning is a monk from a monastery. From her tone, she seems to know this deep space-related ritual very well, and she even carefully sketched out the layout plan of the entire ritual on the second page of white paper.

"Is this a dead-end ritual?" Chen Boxu carefully looked at the pattern on the white paper connected by countless lines and pipes. It looked a bit like a yellow seal in deep space.

"That's it."

Qiao Youning traced the white paper with her slender fingers and spoke softly.

"If Hanging City and the others want to attack the Western Continent, and it comes to that last resort, Ajing can send everyone into deep space and detonate this ritual... In terms of power, as long as the stored deep space energy is enough It can almost blast the entire Western Continent into the sky. Except for the Sequence Eight creatures that can survive, everyone else will have to die here."

"..."

After hearing Qiao Youning's words, everyone felt a chill on their backs, and they felt unsteady no matter how they sat.

"That's it." Chen Jing decided immediately, took the sketches from Qiao Youning, looked at them carefully for a while and felt that there was nothing to modify.

The Kakosha sketched out by Qiao Youning is exactly what he imagined...

"Sister You Ning, how do you know this kind of ritual?" Yan Que asked curiously from the side.

"A Jing told me so." Qiao Youning smiled.

Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but froze for a moment, thinking to himself: When did I tell you such a thing? What's more, before going to the arsenal, I didn't know there was such a ritual of dying together...

"Yes, that's what I said." Chen Jing nodded under everyone's gaze, helping Qiao Youning to round off his words.

"Now that it's settled, it's none of our business. Let's go to bed... Birdman, don't take my bed! You have to make a bed on the floor today!"

"Ryan, go make me a cup of tea. Just put it on the bedside table. I'll drink it when I get back from playing cards!"

From a certain point of view, this meeting was a kind of torture. Although everyone was an old descendant, and they would not feel tired even if they stayed up late occasionally, the fatigue in their hearts was the most terrible... including the loyal Yagerthos. , Sa Yazi ran away as soon as the meeting ended, and even took Bai Aji to have fun outside the walled city. Even Chen Jing didn't have time to stop them.

soon.

Chen Jing and Qiao Youning were the only ones left in the conference room.

"Aren't you going to take a break?" Qiao Youning arranged the scraps of paper on the coffee table and asked with some worry, "You haven't had a break since your fight with Turing. Don't wear out your body."

"It's okay." Chen Jing smiled, "Actually, this is very similar to the management games I used to play on the computer, so I'm very excited when I think about building my own territory in the Western Continent! You should understand!"

"Of course I understand, but don't be too tired. I'll make you a cup of soothing scented tea later..."

"You've met Kakosha, right?"

The moment she heard Chen Jing ask this question, Qiao Youning was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a hum.

"No... to be precise... you should have been there in the arsenal..." Chen Jing seemed to be focusing on the manuscript paper in front of him, and said without looking back, "Everyone was at the bonfire party. You told me about your experiences in the arsenal, but I can tell that what you said was false... It’s not false, it’s just perfunctory, right?”

Qiao Youning sighed helplessly, thinking that Chen Jing was not the kind of meticulous person, could you tell this?

"The source of your sequence should be related to deep space...Have you seen the Yellow King in Kakosha?"

"Ah."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was inexplicably depressed. Qiao Youning didn't know if it was because she deceived everyone, so Chen Jing was a little angry... but he didn't look angry!

Just when Qiao Youning was thinking about how to explain, Chen Jing slowly looked away from the manuscript paper, and suddenly turned back and smiled at Qiao Youning.

"Is King Huang handsome?"

"Hmm... let me think about it."

Qiao Youning was startled at first, and then saw that Chen Jing was not angry at all.

So she thought carefully about Chen Jing's question, and the beautiful face in front of her slowly overlapped with the figure in yellow robes in the arsenal.

"Not as good-looking as you." Qiao Youning said seriously, "You are more handsome than me."

After getting this answer, Chen Jing nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, I feel the same way. That guy always has a face, as if the whole world owes him money... By the way, has your examination system been restored?"

"It seems like it hasn't happened yet..."
