Xu Yang woke up in the morning and felt that he was not as energetic as he had been some time ago.
He lowered his head and looked at the Yanduo Talisman on his chest. It used to emit cool heat, bestowing the blessing of the sun and speeding up the recovery of physical strength. Now the entire amulet is dull in color, as if it has aged for thousands of years overnight, and feels cold and cold to the touch.
Could it be that Yanduo was killed? This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Xu Yang scratched his hair and the electric curtains opened on their own. The weather outside was fine and sunny, a rare good weather. He went downstairs to the secret room and saw Falosa sleeping on the red satin sheets, with the little fool sitting on her hand.
The little fool is a 4-year-old witch who used to live in a reserve witch training center. Her brain is not very good. The staff suspects that her natural ignorance is related to her own magic power, but there are no clues to be tested. Her eyes are dull. , moved slowly, and as soon as he saw Xu Yang, he was so frightened that he crawled into Falosa's arms.
Falosa slept deeply without opening her eyes. Xu Yang touched the black hair on the little fool's head, sat on the gold-inlaid armchair beside him, took off the amber Yanduo amulet, and placed it on the log bedside table. .
I can't work from 6 o'clock to 24 o'clock, Xu Yang thought to himself. Then give yourself a day off today, it happens to be Saturday.
They implemented a weekend holiday system, but because Xu Yang was the boss, he never had a complete day off. He was basically running around or doing errands. So he planned to treat today as a real holiday, sit in an armchair and take a nap, waiting for the law. Rosa wakes up.
Falosa's biological clock was as accurate as time. She woke up at a quarter past seven, and the little fool was drooling next to her pillow. Xu Yang opened his eyes and saw this scene. He thought he was going to see the child explode, but he saw Falosa. He didn't get angry, he just lifted the little fool and put it next to the bed, wiped off the stain with a paper towel, and then used the law of recovery to restore the pillow to a clean state.
"Why are you so friendly?" Xu Yang was curious.
"I don't care about fools." Falosa picked up the little fool. "I'm worried that she will get an electric shock or slip and fall. Although she can recover, the scene will never look good. Other little witches are rebellious at most, but this one is She can’t understand human speech at all. I’ll take her for a checkup when I have time, and then try the law of replying.”
"Where is this amulet?" Xu Yang pointed at Yanduo's amulet. "It seems to have become empty. Could it be that something happened to Yanduo?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Falosa rubbed her sleepy eyes, then picked up the amulet and observed, "I'm not sure, maybe it was injured, so it reminded us in this way."
She used the Law of Recovery on the talisman and restored it to 7 days ago. Xu Yang was sure that the talisman was still useful at that time. But even after the Law of Recovery was cast, the talisman did not re-radiate power fluctuations, indicating that the source of power was cut off.
"Can you still contact Yan Duo?" Xu Yang asked.
Falosa closed her eyes and gently used her mental power link to call. However, there was no corresponding feedback from the other end of the telepathy.
Whatever Yan Duo was doing, it was unusual.
Maybe Yanduo is dead, Falosa pondered, but it is also impossible. If the strength of the mystics is divided, normal Yanduo is the stronger one. If it draws the power of the sun, it can become the strongest. among those.
"I'm not familiar with the Mysterious One in the Great North," Farosha said. "Perhaps it encountered some powerful enemy when it was searching for the Lord of the Forest in the Great North."
"Isn't Yanduo very dangerous?" Xu Yang was worried about Yanduo. It was strong and kind, and was an alien among the mysterious people.
"Oh," Falosa sneered, "Yanduo has used that brain to survive to this day. It must have its own methods. Let's not worry too much about it. It can always find a way to survive."
"Maybe," Xu Yang stretched and left the amulet in the secret room, "I'll take a day off."
"What are you going to do for a day off?"
"It's called resting, but of course it means doing nothing and walking around. You can go wherever you want. That's what you call resting."
"Shouldn't you come with me? Come and help me." Falosa urged.
"I occasionally want to live a completely burden-free life for a day."
"Like idiots," Falosa curled her lips, "go quickly, go quickly, leaving us here to die."
"Don't be angry, I'll bring this for you." Xu Yang carried the little fool over. She struggled uneasily in Xu Yang's arms for a while, but did not cry, and finally quietly adapted to the new arms.
Falosa and Xu Yang left the secret room and came to the corridor. The wide terrace had a good view of the outside. Falosa originally just liked to watch human cities being bombed to pieces, but she saw construction projects everywhere.
Meter-high tower cranes rose from the ground overnight, engineering robots were busy everywhere, and humans drove large machinery to level the land and rebuild.
There was a loud roar of engines outside. Falosa looked up and saw several tracks crossing the sky. A total of seven heavy-duty transport shuttles passed through the sky. Each one weighed at least a thousand tons. She was surrounded by two
It was escorted by twice the number of light fighter jets, two of which had very unstable flight trajectories and seemed to have been attacked.
The seven heavy-duty transport aircraft landed in an orderly manner at the top of Federo Magee Shopping Plaza. The staff were already in place at the top of the mall, ready for docking, and an integrated cargo channel was reserved for them to improve transportation efficiency.
After the shuttle landed, boxes of goods were continuously transported down and slid into the mall along the cargo aisle to replenish the entire shopping mall. The whole process was efficient, precise, and done in one go. It reminded Falosa of ants moving.
The scene is like a blood transfusion to the entire city. These goods can quickly make up for the material shortages in various industries today.
People have already known about the replenishment of shopping malls in advance, so they are already waiting at the entrance of the mall, waiting to rush in to stock up. Citizens with better incomes have stationed themselves on the apron on the middle floor to avoid filling up their shuttles.
Never give up.
The mall was renovated last night and doubled the number of entrances and exits to handle the huge amount of customers. Otherwise, when the opening time comes at 8 o'clock, crowds of people will cause stampedes, and they will lose a lot of sales.
Falosa squinted her eyes to observe this scene.
"This is the delivery and logistics capabilities of modern humans, which can quickly travel to any corner of the world." Falosa said.
"Indeed, it is this kind of technical barrier that distinguishes large enterprises from small and medium-sized enterprises." Xu Yang agreed, "Other small shopping malls have now been vacated and closed. Only their energy sources continue to sell, and eventually a virtual monopoly is formed."
Falosa thought for a while.
"If it were a witch's society," she said, "it would be difficult to see such a large-scale logistics transportation link. We can also open portals, but we have neither demand nor productivity on this scale.
"
"Yes, so technological civilization is still cool." Xu Yang said, "Corporateism is not worthy of such advanced productivity now, so there are many contradictions."
Falosa thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Take her to have breakfast." Farosha walked downstairs.
Xu Yang pinched the little fool's face and found that the little fool hardly reacted to external stimuli and always looked around blankly, as if the world was difficult for her to understand.
At least she was quite well-behaved and wouldn't cry or yell. The only problem was that she couldn't take care of herself. Xu Yang put the little fool on the ground and changed his outfit, putting on a white windbreaker and a white porcelain mask.
She is dressed in black and red, and today she has completely changed her look. After changing her clothes, she will take the little fool out.
He piloted the Purple Wind, set it to autopilot, and then concentrated on taking care of the little fool.
Xu Yang never believed that he could be a good father. He avoided having children and was afraid of being restricted by his family. Taking care of the little fool like a patient was the limit of what he could do. Other than that, he was beyond his capabilities.
Many shops along the way were closed because their goods had been emptied out by nervous citizens, and there was not even a grocery store. The Zifeng's navigation system took him to a vending machine in a block in the city center. He held the baby in his arms.
The fool went down and bought a can of milk from the vending machine, then sat on a paid bench on the street and watched the people coming and going around him.
This neighborhood is built around a large logistics center and is an industry of Tianji Logistics Company. Above Xu Yang's head, professional express drones come and go, carrying goods between destinations and warehouses. They work very frequently. Half of them
Courier work has been replaced by drones, and the other half of the work is left to humans. They must bravely carry goods into streets with poor security. These risks need to be borne by humans, because the death of one person is not a big deal, and people can be hired on the spot.
If you lose a drone, you have to replenish it from the company headquarters, which is very troublesome.
Xu Yang sat with the little fool and fed her a little milk from time to time. The little fool made a purring sound when drinking milk, which was very confusing. Xu Yang could only judge whether she had really drank by the lowering of the milk level of the bottle.
"Is it fun to come out and play?" Xu Yang touched the little fool's forehead.
"Ji." The little fool made a weak voice.
Wherever there are people, there are avant-gardes, conservatives and corporate factions. The haze of giant companies has evacuated from the city, and happy avant-garde young people have emerged. They are all guys who pursue social change and have a positive attitude. Xu Yang saw a large group of
The drunken young people, mainly composed of college students, citizen soldiers and art people, were sitting in a large truck, laughing and talking.
"Drive to freedom!" they shouted, preparing to go to the anti-corporate demonstration area built by the self-rescuer association in the suburbs, ready to experience what it was like to be without a company.
The truck had to slow down halfway along the road. Many people yelled at it, and the truck was immediately stopped.
The citizens pointed at an unshaven middle-aged man in the carriage. It turned out that this man was a cartoonist. The citizens noticed him and took a picture and posted it on the Internet. The readers did not allow him to give up his serialization obligations and go to bed.
, forcing him to return to a place with a network cable to prepare for the update.
"I used to watch more every Monday. If you leave now, where will we get the update next Monday?" said the angry citizens.
At the end of the road, the cartoonist was thrown out of the car by his cheerful companions and hurried back to the studio to continue his efforts in literary and artistic creation.
