Edhi Island was once considered a tourist destination, but now the population is more than before. The reason is that most people who have a solution but are unwilling to join Shangdu come here. No matter what, at least the pollution here will not be so serious.
, even all year round, it is in a state of freezing.
"The average temperature here is 10 degrees, which is not too cold." Gu Yan was sorting out his equipment box next to him, "The lowest is minus forty degrees below 40 degrees. In summer, the highest is 15 degrees. It used to be a summer resort.
Now it is a refuge site. At the beginning, the total population of the archipelago was less than 3,000. Now, there are at least nearly 10,000 people. Except for North Africa, this place is still a paradise. But the tragic thing is that the vegetables people eat here are ate.
They are all grown in greenhouses.”
Tang Shuxing turned his head and looked at him and asked, "You are quite familiar with this place. Have you been here?"
"First time." Gu Yan shook his head, "Seven years ago, when the war did not break out, I was a rich family... The rich boy, who studied in a prestigious American school, always wanted to come here, but he didn't have the chance, because I like to go to school, I am
Not a monster?"
"Yes, you are indeed." Tang Shuxing nodded with a smile, looking at so many buildings in the distance, and many of them were newly built. "What do we do now? Where to take the boat?" "We have to give gifts now
Go to the dictator here, that is, the emperor here, Mr. Skega, in exchange for our qualifications to enter and take a boat." Gu Yan looked unhappy and looked at Tang Shuxing's puzzled expression and said, "
Do you think I'm joking? It's really the emperor. He used to be the boss of a mercenary company and was armed by a hundred people. When he came to this island, he became the so-called resistance organization in the local area, but at the same time he also claimed to obey Shangdu.
They pleased, but because this place is too far away and is not a strategic point, and there is no resource to dig. They will not cause trouble, and they will not resist the military's control, and Shang Du will not care."
Tang Shuxing placed the equipment box on the sled next to him and walked while pulling it: "He is really the emperor?"
"It's really the emperor. You'll know when you go there, and there's the palace." Gu Yan also pulled the rope and shook his head while walking.
As they walked towards the gathering place, many people were watching them and pointing at them. Their appearances were obvious to them, and several people wearing police uniforms of Shangdu Citizen Control Bureau came up.
After talking to Gu Yan for a while, he took them to see the so-called emperor. At the same time, on the road, Tang Shuxing saw the soldiers on duty here. He was actually wearing the uniform of the Resistance Army and the symbol of the Resistance Army.
Yan looked at Tang Shuxing's expression and smiled and said, "How is it? I'm right, please please both sides. That emperor is very treacherous."
Tang Shuxing shook his head with a wry smile. Not long after he left, he arrived at a mini palace. Although there was a palace in the style of British Victorian era, it was only twice as big as an ordinary villa at best.
The two of them put their things outside and followed the guards toward the inside. Along the way, they watched people wearing ancient British costumes walking around, with weird makeup on their faces. If you stared at her for too long
, She will also respond to you with a look of "Why are you so ungent"?
Walking to the innermost part of the so-called palace, in the living room that was not big, a man in his fifties was already wearing an old British naval uniform and stood there. After seeing Gu Yan and Tang Shuxing, he immediately met him.
.Then Gu Yan glanced at Tang Shuxing and knelt down on one knee to salute.
Tang Shuxing frowned, but had no choice but to salute, but he quickly got up.
"Two are..." Skega did not say the word Chi Chen, because it was a taboo and it was illegal. Now, on the world, whether it was Shangdu or the Resistance Army, they all regard Zhan Tianya's Chi Chen as
Extreme organizations offer high rewards to Zhan Tianya’s heads, but Skega is different. He is a person who wanders on the edge of various forces.
Gu Yan nodded to Skega: "His Majesty the Emperor, the gift I bring to you is outside the palace."
Skega's eyes immediately shone, and he waved his hand to the guard and said, "Hurry! Take it in! Hurry!"
When Skega spoke, his feet kept swaying, looking funny and anxious.
After a while, the guard lifted the equipment box they placed outside. Tang Shuxing gave it to the side and asked Gu Yan to go forward and press the password to open it. Skega was waiting next to him with his eyes wide open, and then Gu Yan opened it.
Afterwards, I took out the two anti-impact briefcases inside, placed them carefully on the table, and entered the password again to open it.
After opening the password, Tang Shuxing saw fifty small injections neatly placed in the two boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.
When Skega saw that he was dancing in small steps, he immediately took out one. The guard next to him immediately stepped forward and helped him take off his clothes. Then Skega sat down and took the syringe into the vein on his arm.
Go in.
At that moment, Tang Shuxing immediately understood what it was, and it was something he hated extremely. He turned his head to look at Gu Yan, but Gu Yan whispered calmly: "Is that medical use?|Beef injection,
Now this thing is called dream pursuit.”
"Chasing a dream?" Tang Shuxing sneered, "A good name, but it's also a drug."
"The price of this thing is now the most expensive and can directly replace the so-called currency." Gu Yan whispered, "The soldiers of the Resistance Army cannot do without war, but the manufacturing is limited and the output is limited, so it is so expensive.
A batch of medical supplies we found in the United States seven years ago, a lot of them were stored there, and we also got a lot of them from medicines and gold. This is what we can use to replace real gold and silver now."
"Is real money and silver useful now?" Tang Shuxing saw Skegan's intoxicated look, and now his eyes were blurred. He leaned his head to one side comfortably, enjoying his dream-chasing moment.
Gu Yan shook his head: "Is it useless? Apart from industrial use, there is no value in places other than Shangdu New District. What everyone needs is food and fuel. Even in Shangdu, they are just trying hard to maintain the value of these things.
, but the market price is already terrible."
Tang Shuxing nodded: "There is no economy in this world."
"It's almost done." Gu Yan nodded. At this time, Skega's eyes recovered. When Tang Shuxing was still strange, Gu Yan seized the time to say, "The effect was not too obvious when he used this kind of thing last time.
.What I brought this time was new.”
After Skejia got up, he took a deep breath, then looked at Gu Yan with gratitude and said, "Thank you, thank you for bringing this group of dreams, which is much better than others, and can make me feel comfortable for so long.
, It's great, you let me see my dream lover just now, so. I hope you can wait for me more, I want to change my pants. Because I just..."
After Skega said that, he laughed and trotted in, completely like a madman.
Tang Shuxing nodded and said, "He really dreamed of spring by pursuing dreams."
"In this world, everyone wants to live a life of drunkenness and escape from reality." Gu Yan whispered.
After a long time, Skega came back. He changed his clothes and was an ordinary suit. He asked the guard to put away the boxes. He took Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan into a room next to him. After entering the room, Tang Shuxing found that it was full.
A large hot water bath. A group of women who have been waiting for a long time in the bath. They all look at them with a strange look and make teasing postures from time to time.
"Please! Let's take a shower before having a meal." Skega smiled.
"No need." Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan almost spoke in unison. After saying that, they looked at each other.
Skega was not angry at their refusal. It seemed that the effect of chasing dreams was still continuing. He had to smile regretfully and lead them to the restaurant on the other side, where the rich food had already been put on.
table.
Skega signaled the two to sit down, and then said, "You are going to Dragon Island?"
Dragon Island? Tang Shuxing glanced at Gu Yan, and this was what Gu Yan didn't tell him.
Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Do you still want to dig dinosaur fossils?" Skega smiled and stuffed a bloody thing into his mouth. "You know, in addition to coal, some fossils have been dug up there. Are you doing it for coal?
?Haha, you two can take away as much coal as you can, anyway.”
Tang Shuxing said nothing, staring at the things on the plate, but had no appetite. It seemed to be the meat of an animal, but it was simply fried, and the things around it were bloody, with almost no vegetables or fruits.
Gu Yan raised his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, we are really looking for fossils."
Skega was obviously stunned, and he also picked up the wine glass and signaled to cheer. After drinking, he looked at Gu Yan and said, "Why do you want to find fossils? I am the emperor here. You must explain it in my territory, and you
If you know, if someone asks me, I have to tell you clearly that I don’t want to damage the relationship between our country and other countries.”
Tang Shuxing knew that the other countries he mentioned must be Shangdu or the Resistance Army. If something else happened, he would not want to take this responsibility.
"It is a fossil of a mammoth, not a dinosaur. We have to extract the mammoth's DNA from it. We are developing a new weapon." Gu Yan said seriously, "If we develop it successfully, we will use this batch of weapons to the greatest extent.
If you sell it to your country at a cheap price, of course there will be certain gifts."
Tang Shuxing didn't know that Gu Yan was really talking nonsense, so he had to follow Gu Yan to smirk.
Skega chewed the things in his mouth, wiped the blood left from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, then nodded to the guard next to him, and then the guard went down, and soon he came up with a plate, putting a handful in the plate.
key.
Skega pointed to the key and said to Gu Yan: "This is a ship I prepared for you. It is stored in the Royal Shipyard at the dock. It is a bit old and the fuel used is coal. You'd better go back early tomorrow morning.
Let's go, it's too cold at night, you won't be able to stand it."
"Thank you!" Gu Yan took the key and stood up immediately, "Your Majesty, I think we should set off overnight and say goodbye."
Skega nodded and signaled that they could leave. Then Gu Yan stood up and left with Tang Shuxing.
After they left, Skega kneaded his handkerchief into a ball and said to the guards: "Send someone to stare at them and see what they are going to do, but don't use force. If you are discovered, you will say that I sent you to protect them secretly."
The guard nodded silently and turned around and left.
