Information about the meteorite on October 13, the collection situation, the time and place of transportation, etc. were quickly transmitted to the computer on Carlos' desk. The information was presented in the form of an encrypted file. After receiving the file, Carlos entered the password and the file was Open.
Carlos entered a certain code number on the document, and a piece of shipping information popped up. The information showed the location and date of arrival of the goods. After reading it carefully, Carlos raised his head in surprise and said to himself , " That's it ." Today ... oh my god ... he's going to get the second meteorite."
Carlos held the phone in his hand and was about to make a call when he suddenly hesitated.
"What? What happened?" Auston couldn't help but said looking at Carlos's unusual expression.
Carlos put away the phone and shut down the computer again, and then said to Auston , " I have something urgent and I need to go out. I have to meet with that guy. You first write a document report about Irving's inquiry." To the President, I will contact you if there is any new information."
"Hey man, I gotta know what's going on, Carlos ... Carlos ... "
Auston said with a confused look on his face, but Carlos left in a hurry before he could answer.
At this time, in a coffee shop not far from the Triangle Building, Li Ming was sitting quietly, with his mobile phone flat on the table in front of him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking in the direction of the building, as if waiting for something. generally.
A moment later, a figure hurriedly walked out of the door of the Triangle Building. This person was Carlos. Li Ming took a sip of the coffee in the cup, and the mobile phone screen on the desktop suddenly lit up automatically, and a series of numbers appeared on it. appeared on the screen, but it was not dialed. Instead, it was sent directly after editing an English message.
These operations on the mobile phone seemed to be completed by himself, but they were all under the control of Li Ming's brain.
Carlos in the distance had just walked to his car when he suddenly stopped, reached out and took out the mobile phone from his pocket. After taking a look, his eyes suddenly looked towards the cafe opposite.
After careful inspection, a man near the window of the cafe came into Carlos's sight. After a few more glances, Carlos opened the car door, started the vehicle and drove over.
Li Ming put down the cup in his hand, picked up his phone and left directly. The people around him didn't pay much attention to Li Ming's existence, but there was a figure at that position just now, but in the blink of an eye, the figure had disappeared, as if he had suddenly disappeared. Average.
After walking out of the cafe, Li Ming came to the roadside. The red car slowly stopped. Carlos waved to Li Ming through the car window. The next moment, Li Ming had already sat in the passenger seat.
Although he knew about Li Ming's special ability, Carlos was still startled by this sudden appearance. He shrunk and said nothing, but drove the vehicle into the street again.
Carlos was driving the car and looked at Li Ming from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Li Ming tilted his head, looking at Carlos's head with one eye, as if he was flipping through some documents, and whispered , " Tonight at Newwater Port ... the second meteorite ... "
Carlos could feel Li Ming's actions, as if these messages were written on his body. His body suddenly became stiff and motionless, and he was even a little worried that his casual movements would affect the other party.
Li Ming's behavior invisibly gave people a sense of fear and depression.
"You ... do you know Owen?"
Carlos plucked up the courage to ask.
Li Ming turned his head back to the front and said , " Like me, he is a parasite of alien life, but the difference is that I still have human blood and consciousness, and he has been completely controlled by alien life." "Didn't you see him just now?"
"Ah ... yes, I just ... I just want to know what we should do next to be more beneficial to us. For example ... we should give those meteorites to him, or to you."
Carlos said carefully.
Li Ming's face was expressionless, as if he didn't listen to what the other party just said, but he replied , " You have no right to make a choice. Your military in country U is making a huge mistake. Irving will drain all the available resources on the earth." The energy of the meteorite must be handed over to me. "
After hearing these words, Carlos's face slowly darkened.
"I know what you want, but as I told you, knowing too much is not good for you." Li Ming said.
"Yes, I know you and Owen both want to get the meteorite. What I mean is, what will happen after you get the meteorite ... "
Carlos said carefully.
Li Ming had already seen through these thoughts and problems of his, but in the other party's brain information, Li Ming only found information about the most recent meteorite. The other meteorites were either still being collected or had not been transported back to country U. He continued to communicate with them. Carlos's contact is still necessary for Li Ming.
Li Ming looked at the distance outside the car and began to say , " Alien life will advance after receiving meteorites, becoming a higher-level civilized life and possessing more powerful power, but it also requires a lot of energy support. This energy demand is devastating to the planet ... "
Carlos licked his lips, looked forward for a while, then looked at Li Ming, and said , " So ... whether the meteorite is in your hand or Owen's hand, the result is the same."
Li Ming shook his head and said , " No, Owen is no longer a human being. He will mercilessly take away any energy he needs. But I am still a human being. I will find a more suitable way to solve the problems between me and the earth. I will deal with it." The harm to humans is minimized.”
Carlos didn't say anything else, he just drove fast on the highway. To the east of City S was Newwater Port, and it would take several hours to get there from the city. Carlos kept increasing his speed, hoping to get there before Irving.
The sky gradually darkened, night fell quietly, and the Port of Newwater was quiet. This was a military port and ordinary people were not allowed to enter without authorization. Carlos stopped the vehicle in a small town a few kilometers away from the port.
It was still far away, but the lights of the harbor could already be seen vaguely.
"That's Newwater Port. My car can't continue to get closer. You can only rely on yourself for the rest. To be honest, I don't know whether what I did today is right or wrong, whether it is for U country or the entire human race. ”
Carlos looked at Li Ming beside him, and then at the dim lights in the distance.
Li Ming said nothing, opened the car door and left. The town was dark, the doors of the houses and shops were all closed, and it was extremely quiet. The clear night sky was full of shining stars, and the port in the distance looked like a mirage, and the lights seemed a little dim.
There is only one road here, and the destination is at the end of it. The autumn wind keeps caressing his cheeks, feeling a little cold. Li Ming's figure is like a flashing illusion, and soon disappears from Carlos' sight.
Carlos' right hand repeatedly gripped the steering wheel, his eyes kept looking into the distance, and after being dazed for a few seconds, he turned the car around and left the town. Carlos knew that he could not stay here for long, as there were still many things waiting for him to deal with when he returned.
Li Ming continued to go deeper along the road, getting closer and closer to the port, and his vision became clearer. A few hundred meters deep into the port, a fence appeared, with guard posts and sentries. Further ahead was a military restricted area.
The fence corresponding to the highway is an interceptor. Any vehicle that wants to pass must be inspected. Four soldiers are walking back and forth at the door, sometimes communicating with each other.
'call'
A gust of wind blew by, and something seemed to flash by in the bright light. One of the soldiers looked back and forth along the road. There was nothing unusual, so he didn't pay attention.
Li Ming has already entered the port. There are not many containers here. Unlike ordinary cargo ports, this time should have been very calm and there were no work tasks, but today is different. An important ship will arrive at this port.
There is only one place for non-military ships to berth, which is the southernmost part of the port. The place there is vacant, while other places are already filled with various warships and even aircraft carriers. These military ships need to return to the port after long voyages. Perform maintenance.
The maintenance cost of ships is high, and military ships are even more unusual. Even at night, a small number of people are working overtime. At this time, the southernmost berth has been blocked, and many soldiers have gathered there, as if waiting. What.
Li Ming's figure flashed back and forth between buildings and vehicles, and the information he wanted entered his brain. After a few flashes, Li Ming had arrived near a military vehicle.
Directly in front of Li Ming is a two-story building. There are many such buildings in the port. They are all office areas. Directly in front of the building is the location of the port. Li Ming looked at the time and saw another flash. Moved to the vicinity of the building.
Many soldiers were patrolling back and forth, but Li Ming did not act rashly. He was just waiting for the arrival of the ship.
A moment later, a ship was slowly approaching on the dark sea in the distance. The lights on the ship could already be seen in the port. Many people suddenly walked out of the two-story building, but most of them were wearing military uniforms. There is only one person who is special, and that person is Irving.
Li Ming sensed this information, pushed his legs hard, jumped up from where he was, and came to the roof of the building. There was no light on the roof, it was pitch black, but he had a better view. He took a quick glance at the distance. The ship has arrived at the port and is preparing to dock.
Someone on the shore commanded and used communication equipment to communicate with the ship. After some operations, the ship finally successfully docked. The ship stopped and anchored. The channel connecting the port slowly opened, and a hatch more than two meters wide was filled with water. The young soldiers walked out of the boat carrying large boxes one by one.
There was no movement in the crowd where Owen was. These people just watched quietly from a distance, and sometimes said something. Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and Li Ming could still capture some information.
After a while, more than a dozen boxes had been lifted out and piled on the open space of the port. At the same time, a special box caught Li Ming's attention, because the other boxes were basically made of wood. Although he didn't know what kind of goods they were. , but the outer body is roughly the same. This new box is made of metal and requires two people to lift it.
Even though it was carried by six people, they were very careful and walked very slowly, as if the weight of the box was not light. The six soldiers carried the box until it was under the light not far in front of the building before placing it on the ground. At the same time, an officer on the ship He was talking to an officer next to Owen.
Although he couldn't sense the contents of the box, Li Ming had captured accurate information from their conversation. It was this box, that's right!
From the information in their conversation, Li Ming learned that the cargo ship was requisitioned by the military and came from the port of country y. The boxes contained meteorites collected by country y. The officers were handing over the meteorites and other goods. .Owen couldn't wait to come to the metal box. After looking at it, he leaned over and opened the metal box. A meteorite the size of a football appeared in front of him. The meteorite was black in color and had nothing special about it. It was just that it was very large, bigger than Li Ming. All meteorites obtained before were larger in size.Owen smiled slightly as he looked at the meteorite. At this moment, Li Ming's eyes lit up on the roof, as if he had seen some delicious food.After confirming the goods, Owen nodded with satisfaction to an officer beside him. At this moment, Li Ming's figure suddenly flashed. The next moment, he appeared next to the metal box, picking up the meteorite in
In the vast starry sky of the universe, the power of the nebula is rapidly condensing and slowly drifting towards Li Ming. This time, Li Ming has made full preparations. Liquid like raw eggs enters Li Ming's mouth one by one. This substance is lubricated and soft. , if it weren’t for his previous experience, Li Ming wouldn’t dare to accept it easily.One, two, three, four, five.It was like drinking something, one mouthful at a time, but as soon as this thing entered the body, a strange feeling spread to the whole body. Li Ming gritted his teeth, not knowing what would happen next.Although the consciousness is still in the illusion, the real body has undergone huge changes. The surrounding sand and stones are slowly floating, like a hydrogen balloon slowly rising into the sky. Even the giant rock that is three to four meters high and more than ten meters long No exception.At first, it was only within five or six meters of Li Ming's body, but the powe
The body cannot be revived for the time being. It looks like a corpse, but in fact it is not serious. Li Ming just needs to wait patiently. In this free time, Li Ming begins to understand the key information he just obtained.These newly spliced patterns in his mind were like a door to another world. Li Ming's consciousness collided with them and actually entered the pattern directly.In this pattern, Li Ming has a God's perspective. Looking at everything that is happening in the pattern, it seems as if it is his own experience. The immersive feeling has a strong sense of reality, which makes Li Ming immersed in it ... ...The first one is about the cognition of civilization. In Li Ming's knowledge, he has mastered spiritual civilization. Spiritual civilization is the civilization of Harris's home planet. Because Harris was devoured by Li Ming, Li Ming also mastered this civilization. .Li Ming's consciousness drifted on a strange planet, as if he was
Although Li Ming's body was unconscious and motionless, his consciousness was fully awake and his body was still recovering rapidly. In his conscious state, Li Ming could clearly see that his body was in an ambulance and was being taken to the hospital.At this time, the body has breathing, heartbeat, and all normal life functions. The only thing it lacks is autonomous consciousness. Like a vegetative person, the consciousness is completely separated from the body.Part of Li Ming's consciousness was still exploring another pattern in his mind. This pattern didn't have much information, but it was also extremely important. It was information about the Star Furnace.The star furnace is an alien technology product obtained by Li Ming in the no-man's land. Its known function is to collect energy and shield. Another special function also appears after advancement, which is refining.Refining means putting some items into the Star Furnace, and then refining
Several staff members were chatting with each other at the elevator entrance on the fifth floor. The elevator's indicator light also showed the floor that the elevator was about to arrive.-2, -1, 01, 02, 03 ..."I want to take my family to watch a movie this weekend. My son has told me many times ... ""Then you really have to take him with you, otherwise you will be too unqualified as a father.""Okay, the elevator is here ... "Several men talked to each other, but the elevator did not stop when it displayed '05', but continued upwards, 06, 07, 08 ..."What's going on? Is the elevator malfunctioning?""Let's find another elevator."These people all felt a bit strange, and the elevator just now did not stop until it reached a certain high-rise building. As soon as the elevator door opened, there was a busy scene in front of them. Everyone seemed to be exhausted from the work in hand.In addition to the voices, there were
Walking into this compound, Li Ming felt as familiar as entering his own home. He walked a few steps along the winding stone path in the yard and arrived at the main entrance of the house. On a dozen wide steps was a two-meter-wide and three-meter-wide High gate.This gate was also equipped with an electronic system. As soon as Li Ming stepped onto the first step, the gate automatically opened as if to greet him. This made Auston, who was still on the stone road in the distance, shake his head repeatedly.Entering the door is a hall, but it is not a living room. There are various wallpapers and pictures hanging on the four walls of this hall. There are also various handicrafts placed in the open space in the corner. There is a small door on the left and right sides of the hall that continues to the inside. .Li Ming walked a few steps quickly and came to the small door. With a slight push, the small door opened directly, and inside was the living room, sofa,
At the main entrance of the house, Carlos held his head in his hands and walked out backwards. An officer in military uniform quickly stepped forward and pulled Carlos down , " Where is he?!"Carlos didn't respond and pointed to the room behind him.The officer then waved his hand, and a dozen special forces rushed in with guns drawn.At the back door of the house, Li Ming and Auston walked out of the house, but the gate and outside of the backyard were full of soldiers. They aimed their weapons at Li Ming. The helicopters in the sky quickly noticed this situation, and a The soldier on the helicopter immediately said , " Target found at the back door, sir."Seeing this formation, Auston subconsciously raised his hands and stood motionless."Stand where you are! Hold your head in your hands!"One of the soldiers shouted, but Li Ming ignored him, grabbed Auston next to him, and said , " Follow me.""I told you to stop!""Stop!"
From the depths of Alston's brain, Li Ming discovered an extremely important piece of information, which was even more important than the two meteorites that were about to arrive in country U.This also made Li Ming temporarily give up the fight for the two meteorites and shift his target to a new place.Although it is very important to advance to the civilization level, after understanding the harsh advancement conditions, Li Ming realized that even with the power of nebula, advancement is life-threatening. It is plain luck that he can successfully advance to the fifth level. Good, but it also causes the body to fall into coma and almost break.This kind of risk cannot be attempted lightly, and one must be fully prepared. Star Glory and Star Altar are both key items. It is impossible to find these two things on the earth. Leaving the earth becomes more important.Li Ming still has some knowledge about leaving the earth and entering planets and spaces
