Unlike the various convenience stores before the catastrophe, after the catastrophe, selling goods is only part of the function of the convenience store. Functions such as information collection, public opinion monitoring, and emergency response can all be realized through the carrier of the convenience store.

Convenience stores with rich functions are unified under the control of the joint council.

The Joint Council is the result of the development and evolution of the refuge during the catastrophe period. There are nine seats in total, six of which are human beings, and the remaining three are representatives of spirits, demons, and ghosts.

Behind them are different races and different refuges. Under the check and balance of intricate relationships, it is very fair and just.

The same is true for convenience stores under the control of the parliament. Most of the employees have retired from the front line, and their strength is very strong. There are even some unstable factors in some members. Those "unstable" have thus become the most stable, authoritative, and trustworthy institution in comparison.

Wei Yanchuan said it was a bomb: "I haven't passed the psychological evaluation. To put it bluntly, it's very bad. The higher-ups don't allow me to return to the engineering team, and they won't let me go."

"Probably out of the double consideration of humanitarian spirit and close monitoring, they put me in the convenience store." Wei Yanchuan had no expression on his face, "Until now, I have to do a psychological assessment every quarter."

Zhao Qiaosheng choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.After a long while, he hesitated and said, "I heard that... your family actually has quite a background? Didn't you make any moves?"

"Some things..." Wei Yanchuan slowed down, as if he was thinking about how to answer, or whether he should answer, "Some things, it is precisely because you have some background that you can't act."

"Anyway, I'm very lucky to be able to drink here alive." Wei Yanchuan laughed, "Thank you for saving your life—I haven't had the chance to thank you in person."

Zhao Qiaosheng waved his hands, refused to thank, and changed the subject directly: "I won't talk about the past. Let me tell you about my bad brother." He clicked on the terminal and called up a photo, "Here, this is this guy .”

In the photo is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a clean and fresh appearance, a sunny smile, and soft facial lines, which is a typical oriental appearance, while Zhao Qiaosheng's facial features are very deep, and he has a taste of yuppie when he smiles. In appearance, the two brothers have almost no similarities.

Wei Yanchuan turned his gaze around the photo and Zhao Qiaosheng, but didn't ask anything.

Although Wei Yanchuan didn't ask, Zhao Qiaosheng knew that he would be puzzled, so he explained without hesitation: "He looks like an old man, and I look like my mother. The mermaid bloodline is overwhelmingly strong."

Wei Yanchuan knew that Zhao Qiaosheng's parents were divorced, and his father remarried a new wife——when they were working together, Zhao Qiaosheng didn't deliberately hide it.But this is family affairs after all, Wei Yanchuan and Zhao Qiaosheng are considered friends, they have neither the desire to gossip nor the interest to delve into it.At this moment when Zhao Qiaosheng said this, he just simply said "um", and his evasive attitude was obvious.

"We get along pretty well..." Zhao Qiaosheng seemed indifferent, and told a story.Or it was because of Wei Yanchuan's avoidance that he had the desire to confide, "My parents broke up peacefully. My father, my mother, Aunt Chen, and my two children including me and my younger brother Zhao Yuming, They all get along well."

"The Zhao family is a family of celestial masters. I have gone astray for a long time, and I can't go back. Zhao Yuming is very talented and has learned well. This time, let him go out to experience alone. The family is not at ease. Let me come and see .”

"Did the side aid see anything?"

Zhao Qiaosheng showed an indescribable expression: "Good boy, silly boy."

Wei Yanchuan smiled: "How do you say?"

"Too young, too naive." Zhao Qiaosheng looked out of the window with a helpless and gratified smile. The next moment his expression froze: "...Why is there a boat there?"

Wei Yanchuan followed his gaze, and in the area illuminated by the light of the earth, there was a small black shadow with long and narrow wings protruding from both sides, which was in the shape of a typical spaceship.

The old time is already taking the route closest to the earth, and the inside is a no-flying zone, but the spacecraft is obviously closer to the earth than the old time.

Wei Yanchuan sat up straight: "It's not a patrol boat."

Patrol boats have special colored lights, not this one.

To be precise, the indicator lights on this ship are much less than normal spaceships.

"It's coming towards us, very fast." Zhao Qiaosheng walked quickly to the window and opened the binoculars that came with the VIP box.

Wei Yanchuan stretched out his hand and projected the image in the telescope.

The appearance of the spaceship is clearly displayed. It looks like a relatively common private ship. The few lights on the ship are constantly flashing, and the most common light language is "Danger"!

The spaceship that hinted at "danger" was zoomed in rapidly in the telescope image. It was traveling at an extremely fast speed, and the hull was shaking under the pull of the planet's gravity. There was an abnormal flash on the side of the hull, as if it was burning.

"That ship is out of control." Zhao Qiaosheng supported the landscape window glass with both hands, and compared the distance with his thumb and index finger: "It will hit."

Zhao Qiaosheng hadn't finished speaking when the radio on the Old Time rang: "Dear passengers, due to the impact of the electromagnetic storm, the Old Time will temporarily adjust its route. Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belts. Thank you for your cooperation."

The soothing female voice rang three times in a row, and the virtual guides were projected one by one to guide the passengers back to the cabin. The huge glass windows of the viewing platform were adjusted to opaque mode, and the brightness of the interior lighting was increased to create a bright and safe atmosphere.

The virtual tour guide in the VIP box is also automatically projected, and the translucent virtual character smiles and stretches out his hand, making a guiding gesture: "Two guests, please go back to your seats and fasten your seat belts."

The seat belt hidden on the sofa popped out, and the buckle flashed orange.

Before the viewing window was completely closed, Wei Yanchuan saw two yellow lights flying out from the lower floor, which should be the detection ship sent by the Old Time.

Wei Yanchuan and Zhao Qiaosheng looked at each other, then turned and walked towards the sofa.

The virtual tour guide confirms that the attitudes of the two are cooperative, and then begins to broadcast the next voice: "I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to your journey, and the use of your box will be suspended until the landscape window is reopened. During the suspension period, you can still use the All the services provided by the VIP box. If you need a more detailed explanation, please feel free to ask questions, and I will serve you wholeheartedly.”

Wei Yanchuan politely replied "Thank you", and then turned off the projection of the virtual tour guide.

Zhao Qiaosheng ordered a few snacks: "Let me continue to tell you about my brother?" Those who knew why the old time had to close the view window did not show any nervousness.

Another person who also knew the reason was also very calm: "Okay."

"Although celestial masters seem to know a little bit about everything now, they are best at repelling disasters and evil spirits, and watching Fengshui. These two things are very energy-intensive, so the fees are not low. Zhao Yuming made a move for the first time, and the family found him a trustee." A regular customer of Pupu." Zhao Qiaosheng squeezed his fingers, and with a "click", an unopened walnut broke into several petals, and he threw the broken walnut to Wei Yanchuan.

Wei Yanchuan put down the pliers, swept all the walnuts at Zhao Qiaosheng's side, and peeled the walnuts one by one: "It seems that this reliable old customer can't make you feel at ease."

"Reliable can only say that he is not a bad person. He is a rich man. He is shrewd. He made that kid Zhao Yuming do a lot of work by fooling around. The fool still thinks he has earned money."

Wei Yanchuan put the walnut meat on an empty plate: "If you are fooled twice more, you will learn to be smart."

"Your tone..." Zhao Qiao looked at him, "Why does it sound like you feel the same way?"

"Convenience stores are responsible for their own profits and losses. I have seen how difficult those rich bosses are." Wei Yanchuan picked up a few petals of walnuts from Zhao Qiaosheng and continued to peel them.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, several walnuts jumped out of the plate, and half of the melon seeds next to it spilled out.

The moment the ship shook, the lights flickered twice in succession.

Zhao Qiaosheng clearly saw that at the moment when the light was turned on, Wei Yanchuan's expression was still dazed and unresponsive to what had happened, but his body was already tense by conditioned reflex, and Wei Yanchuan's forehead was in a very short time when the light was on and off. There is a blue vein floating out of the body.

Zhao Qiaosheng immediately thought of what Wei Yanchuan said just now, that he had not passed the psychological assessment.

Although five years have passed, Zhao Qiaosheng still clearly remembers the scene at that time.

It was a very big accident, and the engineering team was trapped underground. It was not only water seepage and landslide that cut off the escape channel, but also the compression caused by gravity acting on the deep rock.

Zhao Qiaosheng is an elite pioneer who doesn't understand those engineering problems at all. He will go wherever the experts in the headquarters tell him to go. The deeper he goes, the more obvious the rock formation is squeezed, although the movement of the rock formation cannot be seen. , but in the dark environment, the sound of squeezing teeth keeps coming, which makes people feel very uncertain.

He was used to seeing demons and goblins in Zhao's house, the master of heaven, and the silence and darkness in the deep sea where sharks live. He also struggled in the army and trained himself to be a brass-skinned iron body. Zhao Qiaosheng was unusually courageous.But in such an environment, he still felt apprehensive.

The rescue went smoother than expected, and the survival rate of the trapped people was much higher than the experts on the ground estimated. However, the person the leaders on the ground most wanted to rescue was an engineering team member who was still conscious when he was rescued. The person who yelled was never found.

"Where's Wei Yanchuan? Have you found Wei Yanchuan?"

"Wei team...Wei team is still below... Please save him!"

Wei Yanchuan is the captain of the trapped engineering team. In order to allow more people to escape smoothly, after the accident was interrupted, he used some very dangerous technical means that Zhao Qiaosheng did not understand to effectively buy time, but cut off his own escape. road.

Zhao Qiaosheng found Wei Yanchuan in the 78th hour after the accident. At that time, Wei Yanchuan's engineering mech had been squeezed into a pile of scrap iron. To drag it out.

The place was so deep that only Zhao Qiaosheng managed to reach it alone.Dragging the person from the scrapped construction machine into his own rescue machine, before Zhao Qiaosheng could breathe a sigh of relief that Wei Yanchuan was alive, he lifted him up again in one breath, choking him so much that he almost fainted.

When the rescue plane descended, the road was completely blocked, and stones were falling from the fork roads extending in all directions.What's more terrible, because of the special magnetic field, his connection with the ground was cut off.

Zhao Qiao swears and curses: "Is this to test my luck?"

Wei Yanchuan, who was rescued by him, had extremely low vital signs, but miraculously he was still conscious: "The right side..." He was not only conscious, but also very awake. Under his half-closed eyelids, a pair of eyes still had light. The one on I12."
