Chapter 273 Energy, or Energy
"We're back!"
Backing back to Xia Mansion from Earth, Cuizhu couldn't help shouting, the familiar environment turned out to be a little strange—compared to a lot of novel things on Earth.
Her elder sister Luzhu was much more reserved. After putting away the things she brought back from the earth, she hurried out of the study to report to her wife.
Not long after, Xia Shumin met her mother.
"Bring your husband's things back to your mother's house again?"
Seeing a large pile of earth goods in the study, Lu Rui said with a smile.
"My daughter can't help it either."
Xia Shumin made a sad appearance, covered her face with her sleeves and said, "My mother has lost her status as a princess. She has worked so hard to maintain the family business all these years. Fortunately, my daughter married a good husband so that she can help the family."
Lu Rui burst out laughing, quickly held back, stretched out his hand and touched her forehead: "It's all my fault, I gave birth to a daughter with a sharp tongue and married far away in the fairy world!"
"...mother."
Hearing about marrying far away, Xia Shumin accepted the appearance of her youngest daughter, hugged her mother and said, "Daughter is not married far away, but she was still at Sister Earth Wan's house just now, and returned home in less than three breaths."
Lu Rui sighed slightly in her heart. Even so, she didn't know what the fairyland was like. If her daughter was bullied, she couldn't go to the fairyland to see her, and she didn't know any news about her.
It's not like marrying far away, it's better than marrying far away.
However, when the daughter grows up, she still has to marry after all.
"I heard you said that Sister Wan still lives in her house... Could it be that you are the second wife?"
Lu Rui asked her daughter in her arms.
What is the second room? It sounds good, but it is actually a concubine's room. Although Chen Ji is a fairy, it is not good.
Xia Shumin blushed, and said falteringly: "This, this is not true. Sister Wan is neither big nor small...Young master jokingly said that whoever is in the world is the big one."
Lu Rui glanced at her: "You are a big brother in Zhao country, but your husband didn't come to Zhao country as a married woman, you married to earth, and your sister Wan is from earth."
Isn’t this just being small all the time?
Xia Shumin was stunned for a moment, then resigned after a long while and said: "Sister Wan can afford to be a big wife, and my daughter doesn't understand anything when she goes to Earth. It is Sister Wan who took care of me, and she is the only one who can help you."
"If she comes to Zhao country to play, I will take care of her, the same."
Xia Shumin added.
Lu Rui took her hand and sat down, "Tell me carefully what you have done these two days?"
Xia Shumin obediently explained to her mother.
"Your husband bought you a house, and your and his names are written on the deed?"
"Yeah, I bought two sets, and sister Wan also has one! The one I live in is under my name."
"What about the others? The empress you mentioned."
After listening carefully, Lu Rui pondered for a while.
"Mother?"
Xia Shumin, who doesn't know how to "Gong Dou", wants to hear her mother's analysis.
Lu Rui looked at her with a strange face, "It seems that my stupid girl has indeed found a good husband... You are half a big woman after you marry, and your son still spoils you."
Xia Shumin lowered her head in shame.
Lu Rui twisted her face amusedly, and said: "You have a house on Earth, and you can marry it after repairing it. When are you going to ask him to propose marriage?"
Xia Shumin blushed and shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.
Lu Rui smiled and said: "Although my future son-in-law is a fairy, he has never read the Four Books and Five Classics. If you want to get married, you girl have to write a marriage letter for yourself."
"I…!"
Xia Shumin blushed and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, what mother said made sense.
Young master's ancient literary talent is not good, if you want to write a letter of engagement and marriage letter for her, you have to write it yourself!
"I'm looking for a young master to ask for a pen fee!" Xia Shumin muttered.
"Isn't it enough for you to polish your pen if they give you a flat?"
"Mother!"
Xia Shumin said coquettishly.
Lu Rui made fun of it again.
After the mother and daughter had a good time, she began to talk about the business: "During the three days you went to Earth, your cousin also came back, and brought seventeen or eight land gods to the capital."
"Are you here?!"
Xia Shumin keenly sensed that her mother's words were wrong.
The only one who dares to visit the capital is the emperor.
Now that her prince cousin returns to Zhao, it seems...
"How is this good?"
Xia Shumin became worried, fearing that there would be another war.
"no need to worry."
Lu Rui said lightly: "Now he is not only a prince, but also a crown prince recognized by many people in the Jianghu. He has a close relationship with your husband, and he has five guards who are flying in the sky and escaping from the land, and he himself is the same. "
Xia Shumin opened her eyes wide and thought of something.
Lu Rui said again: "After he returned to the capital, he resisted the edict and hung all the spiritual herbs under your husband's name. He should come to Yongkang County soon."
"Why didn't my cousin come to Yongkang County directly?" Xia Shumin blurted out.
If you want to swallow the spiritual grass alone, you can come to Yongkang County, and the emperor can't do anything about him. No one dares to make trouble in Yongkang County now.
Lu Rui smiled and said: "He came directly, how did the civil and military officials know? How can they speak for him?"
Xia Shumin was thoughtful.
She, the cousin of the crown prince, wanted to take advantage of this protest, not only to demonstrate to his father, but also to make all civil and military officials stand in line.
In the past, her cousin would have died several times.
But now, with the power of the immortals and the power of the land gods, Cousin Lu Huai has already become full-fledged, and he only needs to be "side of the Qing emperor" once before he can ascend the throne...
"Just listen to these."
Lu Rui smiled and said, "You are not the queen, or if you are the queen, we will not be involved in the affairs of the capital. At most, your father will benefit from it. After becoming the prime minister, we will move back to the capital."
Xia Shumin has lived in the capital for several years, so she is very familiar with it.
"Yes~~"
She complied.
Although she likes to live in Hongye Mountain, if her father returns to the capital to be an official, she will support him with her mother to go back.
Be patient and wait.
With the force of the gods on land, and the son's reputation among the people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that her emperor's uncle is the cousin of the prince who cannot win.
…
Chen Ji learned about Zhao Guo from a young lady at night.
The warriors of the Zhao Kingdom have broken through the realm of masters and reached the realm of land gods. The martial arts of warriors have gradually evolved into the way of seeking immortality.
In the future, there will probably be martial immortals with a lifespan of hundreds of years. By that time, if the secular dynasty is still like it is now, it will not be able to suppress them at all.
If Lu Huai can become emperor, he can use his name to suppress those people in the Jianghu, so that the imperial court will not be chaotic.
After seeing another world, even if Lu Huai ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he would not dare to bring an army to Yongkang County like last time.
Just wait for the results from the capital.
the next day.
After having breakfast, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan packed some more and prepared to take them to the second floor.
"I went?"
Chen Ji said goodbye to her.
"Well, let's go. I'm going to work too." Zhou Wan, who looked taller and taller in professional attire and a pair of high-heeled shoes, nodded to him.
"Kiss one?"
Chen Ji moved her face closer, Zhou Wan pursed her lips, and imprinted her own lips on his cheeks, with a little shyness in her eyes, she pushed him: "Are you satisfied? Go, Da Zhou is already waiting for you Already!"
"Haha, okay, let's go now!"
Chen Ji said goodbye to her in satisfaction, walked up the stairs, watched Zhou Wan turn and leave, and then went into his room with breakfast.
Afterwards, I traveled to the doomsday world.
Another Zhou Wan, who is much plumper and has a gentler personality, happily threw herself into his arms and hugged him.
"Yes, here I come. I just said goodbye to 'Zhou Wan', and I will come to see you right away."
Chen Ji said with a smile, put his arms around her waist, and sat on the sofa in the dormitory with her.
"How do you say 'Zhou Wan'?"
The woman who leaned on him tightly asked with a smile.
She is also Zhou Wan.
Four years older than the other Zhou Wan.
And she and Chen Ji were the first to meet.
In addition, she and Chen Ji have also...become a real couple.
She was not jealous of that Zhou Wan.
"She kissed me without saying anything."
Chen Ji laughed.
"Then I'll kiss you too... Is she kissing the left cheek or the right cheek?"
"I kiss you all."
"Um, yeah?"
Chen Ji was intimate with her for a while, and soon woke up the black cat girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She got up and rubbed her eyes. When she saw that it was Chen Ji, she cheered and ran over on all fours.
Like a cat!
"No clothes again?"
Chen Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly held Xiao Ke down and gave her a ball of light to calm her down.
"very nice."
Zhou Wan leaned on his shoulder, held his hand tightly, and looked at Xiao Ke's carefree appearance with a smile: "In the past two days, I have been shopping with you for a long time in my dreams, and I even bought a house and watched TV. ...feel like I'm with you too."
Chen Ji hugged her and didn't say much, he could feel Zhou Wan's mood at the moment.
Now she can leave this doomsday world, go to the earth to live with him, and never come back again.
Moreover, her family members have died in the apocalypse, and her friends are just casual acquaintances.
It can be said that Zhou Wan can go to his world with Chen Ji and get rid of living underground.
but.
She can't be so cruel.
If she is just an ordinary person, then she can go straight away.
But she and Chen Ji are both people who can bring great changes to this world. After she leaves, this world will no longer be able to get help from Chen Ji. Maybe she just left for ten days and half a month, but the doomsday has passed for more than ten years Year.
"sorry."
Zhou Wan apologized for her sudden sadness.
I was so happy in my dream, but when I opened my eyes, I was alone.
If Chen Ji hadn't chatted with her every day, she would have been even more sad.
"fool."
Chen Ji comforted her and said, "Whenever you want to go to Earth, just tell me, you can do it anytime!"
"Um."
Zhou Wan knew what he meant, and with him as a solid backing, she quickly cheered up and started talking about business.
About the underground doomsday base, about the dark doomsday society.
Chen Ji thought for a moment, pulled her up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the doomsday base!"
The two went out together, Xiao Ke turned into a kitten again and lay on his shoulders, continuing to sleep.
The appearance of Chen Ji surprised many people, but everyone was busy doing things in a hurry.
Taking the elevator down to the doomsday base, Chen Ji saw a more depressed scene than a month ago (doomsday world time).
After losing the steady stream of energy from life crystals, the lights in the doomsday base were turned off even more.
Most areas in the city are dim, and there are only sufficient light sources in places such as schools, cafeterias, and research institutes.
People's expressions were very serious, even a little pessimistic. After seeing Chen Ji and Zhou Wan appear, they kindled some hope.
“Energy is critical.”
Zhou Wan said softly: "No matter how powerful our abilities become, we still can't replace coal, oil, water power and other energy sources, let alone the sun."
After the sun goes out, everyone really realizes its importance.
"How is nuclear fusion research going?"
Chen Ji asked her.
Only nuclear fusion can free mankind from dependence on energy.
Coal will run out, and oil will run out. If human beings want to develop, they must achieve controllable nuclear fusion!
"We are moving the fusion laboratory to the meeting place."
"Why?"
"Not for convenience."
Zhou Wan explained embarrassingly: "In fact, the existence of the intersection of the four worlds is strictly kept secret, because we are afraid that people will want to move to that world after they know it."
"You can move there."
Chen Ji said affirmatively: "That world is ownerless, anyone can live in it."
"It is possible to live, but the uncertainty is too great. The world is too small, it is not stable at birth, and the possible changes are too great. We now regard the intersection of the four worlds as the last paradise for human beings. If it is the most dangerous time, Let everyone escape there together."
"…Um."
Chen Ji agreed with this plan.
Indeed, it is not time to give up on this world.
The two walked around the doomsday base, took the suspension train, and went up to the ground.
Chen Ji saw the abnormality of the sun at first glance.
It has expanded a lot, and the dark red light occupies a large area of the sky.
"It's been unstable lately."
Zhou Wan looked at the sun and said softly: "But even so, many people have moved out of the doomsday base and come to live on the ground."
After lack of energy, the underground is too depressing.
Chen Ji got into the same car with her and came to the community where her home is located.
"Using the cover of living on the ground, the leaders designated my community as a settlement!"
Zhou Wan turned her head and smiled at him.
"Assembly point?"
It was a settlement three years ago, and now it has re-used the name.
The community has taken on a new look, and there are at least 3,000 people living nearby. Of course, Zhou Wan's house is closely guarded.
Chen Ji and her don’t need to be authenticated, they just need to shine a light ball on the guarding soldiers, and they can enter inside—no one can imitate his ability, and Zhou Wan’s space ability is the same.
"Chen Ji, are you here?"
Wei Hong of the research institute is busy directing people to move a lot of equipment into Zhou Wan's house, put them into the basement of the villa, and then send them to the meeting place of the four worlds through the space rift.
Chen Ji didn't stay long, and entered the crack with Zhou Wan again.
still appeared at her house, but after reaching the ground, the sky had turned blue, and the sun was shining warmly on the earth.
The place where the four realms meet has gotten rid of the evil god's infestation and has become full of vitality.
The grass on the ground is sprouting, everything is so beautiful.
"I really hope that the earth I live on can change back to this."
Zhou Wan said softly.
"Will do!"
Chen Ji said with certainty.
He has to find a way to get nuclear fusion out and re-ignite the sun.
According to the changes in the intersection of the four worlds and the Continent of God's Grace, once the sun appears, it can immediately purify the pervasive black aura, which is far stronger than his light and heat abilities.
