Leaving for the sake of returning

On the night when the expedition team arrived, Yue Shanshan spent the whole night with Lin Meiqi, while Shen Jiayi had an all night meeting with other members of the equally eager expedition team. It seemed that the two sides had reached a preliminary consensus,

Tom, who can represent both the Endeavour and the Ark, was pulled aside by Luo Xuan and insisted that he tell the story of his adventure to Fujin District.

Tom was only allowed to rest in the latter half of the night when he returned to the empty mansion and unexpectedly found a tall and sexy female body lying on his bed.

"Did you break that window again and come in?" Tom knew without thinking that it was Natasha.

Natasha pouted and revealed a charming smile under the dim and ambiguous light. "Shen gave it to me. They're all busy tonight. Shen instructed me to keep an eye on you and ensure that you stay in bed for the next three days, without interfering with her and Yue's affairs."

Tom was taken aback. When did Shen Jiayi hook up with Yue Shanshan? It seems that these two women are determined to intimidate the expedition and facilitate the merger of the Endeavour into the Ark.

"Are you a man?" Natasha looked provocative. In the past, he would have ignored other people's provocations, but today... he walked straight over and pulled on the headlights, brighter lights illuminating the entire bedroom.

Tom did not leave his house for the next three days. Because this is Shen Jiayi's request, he also believes that facilitating this matter is a good thing for both parties.

However, it was not the good news from Shen Jiayi that made him leave the house, but Prince Xiong led the commander of the reconnaissance company to report the situation, and he hurriedly rushed to the intelligence operation room.

Shen Jiayi's plan came into effect, and the scouts rode biscuits and brought back the report of the mutated man Liu Hou. The alien gang led by Luo Qichen clashed with the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter, and the two sides engaged in two battles, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.

Luo Qichen's deputy and the head of his concubine were also brought to him by Shen Liansheng's foreign mercenaries,

This time, the conflict between the two sides was completely intensified. The Alien Gang gathered a large number of mutated people scattered outside and stationed around the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter in a grand manner. Although they dared not launch an attack, they planned to eliminate the personnel who came out to collect resources from the shelter.

There is a large reserve of supplies in the shelter. At least until Shen Jiayi was placed under house arrest, the food was still enough to support 100000 people for half a year. However, it is unclear whether Shen Liansheng has maintained a balance between replenishment and consumption for so long.

Subsequently, a comprehensive meeting was held, and the five members of the inspection team of the Endeavour were also invited to attend, because neither the Alien Gang nor the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter were good for everyone.

All of this was expected by Shen Jiayi. Once the two sides began to confront each other, the monitoring and control around Morikawa City would be relaxed. This is the best opportunity for their current development. Once both sides decide the winner, they will free up their hands to deal with them. They must seize this period of time to develop and strengthen in order to compete with them,

The tone of the Ark was established early on, while the choice of the Endeavour was left to them to consider.

After not seeing Tom for three days, Yue Shanshan missed him a bit, but at the dinner banquet afterwards, she surprisingly sat Shen Jiayi and Lin Meiqi together, which surprised Tom a lot.

Shen Jiayi and Lin Meiqi had already had conflicts before the micro disaster occurred. Although they were all with Tom now, they would never appear in Tom's bedroom together again except for the first night when they slept with him. Apart from meetings and official conversations, they had almost no private contact, which left Tom somewhat confused.

However, Yue Shanshan, this sunny girl, is indeed not simple. After three days of absence, she managed to navigate between these two women with ease. She could talk to any of them warmly, and now she can still sit together.

This meal was incredibly lively, and everyone was smiling, except for Tom who was a bit confused.

After finishing, Yue Shanshan grabbed him and dragged him away, while Shen Jiayi and others watched them leave with approving eyes.

With this run, Tom left the ark and carried her over the first staircase to a large window on the third floor.

The bright moonlight shone in, and from the perspective of a small person, the entire room seemed to be white with a whitening filter, making Yue Shanshan look very special.

"Tom, I really want to sleep with you now and become your fourth wife, but my older sister said it's not enough. Once I sleep with you, my identity will change, which will make my brother's position more subtle and not conducive to the next decision of the Endeavour, so... now I can't..."

When we arrived at the Ark, the members of the inspection team fully understood Tom's position on the ship, so there would inevitably be concerns about the evaluation of joining the Ark. However, Tom believed that Shen Jiayi had already considered this issue and made arrangements. He was quarantined for the past three days because of this consideration.

"I understand, Shanshan, you... should go back tomorrow?"

Yue Shanshan nodded and said, "Yes, time is tight next. If I go back a day earlier, I can also implement it a day earlier... But I'm so worried... Although my elder sister assured me that the Railway Self Protection Committee would make the right choice, I'm afraid they might reject the proposal to join you. In that case... my responsibility is with you... what should I do?"

Tom gently comforted her and said, "It's okay, everything will be fine. You have to trust your brother and those grandparents. They all have responsibility and fairness. If they reject it, it means that not merging with us is a benefit for the entire Endeavour ship. That's also a good thing for both of us. Don't worry, go back with peace of mind. Even if not, at least we have a mutual aid agreement, and the Ark can come and help you at any time."

"Well, I understand, Tom... you still remember me, right?"

"Of course!"

The two of them just got along for a while and then returned to the Ark, after all, they couldn't stay too long, otherwise everything would have happened.

The next day, the inspection team set off and returned to the Endeavour. This time, Tom was no longer suitable for escorting back, and it was left to Wang Zixiong to ride the bell.

In fact, the Ark can be transferred from here to Fujin District and directly docked with the Endeavour. However, considering from the perspective of not seeing the king, the proposal for merger by the Endeavour is currently on the rise, and the hasty appearance of the Ark will put pressure on the people of the Endeavour to worry about whether the Ark will annex them.

On the other hand, the Alien Gang is currently at war with the Haiwei Mini Industry and has no time to consider the surrounding area. The Ark can gradually expand its reconnaissance range and monitor the movements of these two sides nearby to ensure that it joins the battle at the "appropriate" time as calculated by Shen Jiayi, in order to avoid one side annexing the other and gaining power.

So in the near future, the Ark needs to strengthen scientific research and development, and gradually advance to the northwest to establish multiple hidden strongholds to monitor the situation of the alien gang.

After seeing Yue Shanshan off, Tom personally led the team to move towards the northwest. His studio led the leading reconnaissance team to gradually pull out the eyeliner nails along the way, and let the subsequent engineering transport team establish a secret stronghold at the place he selected.

Lin Meiqi has started to accelerate the research process, digest the improvement plans brought back by Tom and Yue Shanshan, and strive to digest and apply these technologies as soon as possible.

As the Ark troops gradually spread, they gained control of more areas and found more survivors. While recovering survivors step by step, Tom expanded his surveillance range and quickly came under the watchful eye of the Alien Gang surrounding the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter.

At this time, the Alien Gang has been surrounding the shelter for four months.

According to a report by Liu Hou, who was still lurking in the Alien Gang, the group initially attempted to launch two attacks after being besieged for half a month. However, even with a team of four mutated wolf dogs, they were still unable to break through the shelter's defense and abandoned more than 400 corpses before giving up the strong attack.

Later, Luo Qichen changed his mind and went inside at night, as the shelter was still quite large.

After nearly two years of operation, the technology of the shelter has also been constantly upgraded. Crystal energy sensors are scattered around the shelter, and even ants, who are usually creatures, are easily detected if they want to approach. Not to mention, after repeated leaks, the cracks that may appear on the outer wall of the shelter have been blocked, and the ventilation measures also have a good defense warning mechanism.

The Alien Gang cannot enter, and the people from the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter cannot leave. The shelter originally had an underground passage leading directly to the power plant upstream of the Longyan River, but the passage was once again sealed during the invasion. Luo Qichen even sent people to wander on this passage, searching for a possibility to enter.

The passage is blocked, and even the power transmission line of the mini power station has been damaged by the help of outsiders. But before that, the shelter had already digested the crystal power generation technology brought by Wen Yiku's selection of the day. With the help of crystal and solar power generation technology, the daily electricity consumption of the shelter could still be maintained in balance.

With only food, after four months of containment, the food consumption in the shelter is already tight. Shen Jiayi, who is located in the rear, predicts that Shen Liansheng will use her previously established crisis food resource allocation system and implement the highest level, but still cannot withstand long-term consumption.

The shelter organized several breakouts in an attempt to disperse the search team to collect food resources, but they were all blocked by the long-term patrol team of the Alien Gang. Occasionally, those who have missed the net are likely to encounter patrol teams from the Alien Gang halfway back. Only a few teams have successfully returned to the shelter, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the shelter.

"It will soon be a desperate counterattack time for the shelter. They have been holding it back for so long, and there will definitely be breakthroughs in armed reform. Be careful and take the opportunity to intervene in the battle, try to break up the alien gang, and attack the shelter with one go!"

After the Ark left Luo Xuan's house and arrived at the west side of Fumao Industrial Zone, where the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter is located, Shen Jiayi passed on to Tom, who is located at the hidden observation post ahead.

At this time, Tom was leading a small team stationed in the Zhenhua Machinery Factory, which was the place where Tom had led Yuan Feipeng and others on missions and helped them avoid Song Ren's assassins. More than a year has passed, and the former machinery factory was covered in bones. Now, it is full of weeds, and several tall mutant plants are thriving here.

Rolling grass is the most covered and plain grassland among the mutated plants in this area. If awakened individuals, especially mutated individuals, walk in, the grass under their feet quickly and vigorously sways, sweeping the people inside, as if they are rolling in the waves without stopping bumping. That intensity, even the strongest mutant couldn't resist, being scratched by sharp leaves while rolling.

Those leaves carry an anesthetic ingredient, and the victim initially only feels a hot and spicy pain from the wound. As the wound increases, the accumulated anesthetic ingredient increases, and soon the whole body becomes paralyzed and unable to move. Finally, it is covered and covered by grass leaves, and the body is buried and absorbed by rolling grass. It is then transported to the entire rolling grass area through the underground root system.

So the mutants of the Alien Gang didn't dare to come here, so Tom chose this place as one of the hiding places for surveillance.
