apocalypse night

Chapter 1068 Crescent Harbor
Inside the 5th ring of the City of Stars, Shenglai Villa Area, Villa No. 14.

A handsome man wearing a nightgown, blond hair, and holding a cup of coffee was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee leisurely and watching the most entertaining program.

At this time, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and a young man with dark skin and a burn scar on his face hurried over.

"Lord Akaru, it's not good."

"Banpu, why are you panicking? I've taught you many times. Even if the sky falls, it won't hit us first. There will naturally be tall people to support us."

"That's it, Sir Akaru. The City of Stars has released the latest clarification post. Now many people have come to attack you, Sir, saying that you deliberately framed the third star envoy Shen Qiu."

"It's a good thing, let them attack."

Akaru took a sip of coffee contemptuously.

"Sir? You don't care?"

"What do I care? Whether Shen Qiu was wrongly accused or whether he committed a crime is none of my business! All I want is popularity and traffic. Black and red are also red!"

"But if you just let it go, will there be any problems?"

"Who says I have to let it go? Bamp, you go find some trolls and continue the battle on our post. Then spend some money to let the previous small bloggers post questions and raise the dropped popularity again."

"Ah, doesn't this intensify the conflict?"

"What we want is this effect. If we let it go, with the release of the clarification post, my post will gradually disappear. And this is the only way to escape unscathed. When the time is almost right, I will personally post a sincere message. The apology post is an apology to Shen Qiu, which is in sharp contrast with others and satisfies the psychology of those who have a strong sense of justice. In this case, my apology post can also become popular. By then, we will have two top popular posts. Finally We can continue to place ads there or set up live broadcasts to bring goods, and make a lot of money."

"Sir, you are really good at it! Those stupid guys and big shots haven't become your stepping stones."

Bamp replied with great admiration.

"As long as the ignorant people follow them, regardless of right or wrong, satisfy their desires and let them hear everything they want to hear, they will be driven by us stupidly. As for the high-ranking big shots, their eyes see too far, why? I will care about the dust on my shoes and be reluctant to bend down to wipe them.”

Akaru shook the coffee in his hand with a sarcastic look on his face.

"I understand, I'll do it right now."

Bamp nodded in response.
-
Inside Luan Pavilion.

Shen Qiu sat on the sofa, brushing his bracelet with his head down, looking at the updated posts one by one.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi came over and asked curiously when she saw Shen Qiu looking at the bracelet so absorbedly.

"Chen Qiu, what are you looking at?"

"I haven't read any posts. By the way, Xiao Xi, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on?"

"How are Gu Bu and the others doing lately?"

Shen Qiu asked directly without raising his head.

When Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu's question, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and she asked in confusion.

"Chen Qiu, why did you suddenly ask about them?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I just wanted to ask."

Shen Qiu replied with a smile.

"I see, Gu and his colleagues are very good. They were recently promoted. He now concurrently serves as the deputy director of the KPI department."

"He replaced Yan Qing?"

"Well, Deputy Yan Qing has now been transferred to the City of Stars and the Heresy Tribunal."

Yun Xiaoxi explained.

"That's very good."

"It's pretty good, but I feel that after being promoted, Bu Gu has become even busier, carrying out very dangerous tasks everywhere. Not long ago, they went to the sand sea to perform a search and rescue mission. At that time, I asked Bu Gu if he wanted to help, but Bu Gu Don’t let me go back.”

"why?"

"Bu Gu means that they can handle it and let me stay and develop in the City of Stars."

Yun Xiaoxi tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying.

After hearing this, Shen Qiu fell into thinking. He could now basically confirm that the Red Alliance deliberately separated the relationship between the people in the City of Stars and the Red Alliance.

As for the reason, it is most likely that they do not want to drag down their friends and colleagues, so they should devote themselves wholeheartedly to the City of Stars, absorb the nutrients of the City of Stars to the maximum extent, and take root here.

"What's wrong with Shen Qiu? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Shen Qiu hadn't spoken for a long time, Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"fine."

Shen Qiu shook his head and continued to scroll through the posts.

Yun Xiaoxi sat next to Shen Qiu for a while, feeling a little bored waiting, so she also raised her bracelet to scroll through the posts.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi saw a popular post quickly being liked. She clicked it and looked at it, and said happily.

"Chen Qiu, Shen Qiu, look quickly."

"what happened?"

Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi doubtfully.

"Look at the latest post. The person who posted the previous post to denounce you has now posted a public apology."

Yun Xiaoxi said excitedly.

After hearing this, Shen Qiu refreshed the forum and soon saw a popular post being pushed up, with an eye-catching title that everyone could see at a glance.

"You have to admit when you are wrong, and you have to stand upright when you are beaten."

Shen Qiu clicked on the post and saw an image of a young man bowing to everyone and speaking sincerely.

"Everyone, because I did not go through rigorous verification, I posted an accusatory post about the Third Star Envoy Shen Qiu, which caused a serious and negative impact. Although the original intention was to support justice, it was a mistake if it was wrong. I deeply apologize. , I would like to sincerely clarify here! I am also willing to compensate for the harm and impact caused by the Third Star Envoy Lord Shen Qiu. Please also contact me after seeing Lord Shen Qiu."

Below the post, replies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

"It's good to know your mistakes and correct them. And I can't blame you completely for this. After all, who would have thought that it was a disguise. You are also standing in the perspective of the weak and seeking justice for them."

"This apology is very sincere. Well done to the poster."

"Yes, yes, much better than those tough-talking people!"

"I said at the time, how could Lord Shen Qiu do those things? Now it's a slap in the face."

Shen Qiu looked at the content of the poster and remained silent, without any fluctuation in his mood.

Yun Xiaoxi said very happily to Shen Qiu.

"Chen Qiu, this person is quite good, and he is willing to take the initiative to compensate you."

"Xiao Xi, some things are not as simple as they seem to you. If you really go to collect his compensation, you will be really fooled."

"Huh? I don't understand?"

"It's okay, you don't have to understand."

Shen Qiu reached out and touched Xiao Xi's head and said to her with a smile.

"Hmm, although I don't quite understand, but if you think he is not a good person, then he must not be a good person."

Yun Xiaoxi nodded obediently.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but smile when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words.

At this time, Mu Han came out with the finished mold and said to Shen Qiu.

"The mold is ready."

Shen Qiu stood up and went to greet him. He took the mold from Mu Han's hand, looked at it, and said with satisfaction.

"Not bad, your skills are really getting better and better."

"Alas, it's no use. There are very few people who are as generous as you."

"Ok?"

"Haha, I'm sorry I said the wrong thing. How are you going to smelt it next?"

Mu Han asked with a smile.

"I'll ask someone to come over and send it to be smelted!"

Shen Qiu thought for a moment, then raised his bracelet and sent a message to Qi Dong, asking him to run and deliver it to Master Hydra.

"it is good."

Mu Han responded in agreement.

A few hours later, Mu Han prepared some side dishes and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi were sitting around, and when they were picking up their chopsticks and preparing to use them, the door of the store was pushed open, and a head poked in.

"Boss?"

"Chen Ye?"

Shen Qiu turned around and looked over, and replied with some surprise.

"Boss, I'm here."

Chen Ye then ran in with a smile.

"Didn't I ask Qi Dong to come? Why did you come here?"

"Oh, when you sent Qi Dong a message, I happened to read it, so I volunteered to come over."

"You are really busy. Have you done what I asked you to do?"

"Isn't it just a matter of school? Take care of it easily."

"Hey, your skills have improved a lot. You can do things that even Hydera can't handle in a matter of minutes."

"Hehe, boss, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I couldn't even get through the gate. The security guard at the school was really awesome. Then I had no other choice, so I moved your golden Buddha out. As a result Their attitude changed completely, as if they were a different person. In the end, the principal of the school personally came to receive me, and everything was settled in a short time!"

"Ah."

Shen Qiu nodded slightly and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his name as a star envoy would be so easy to use.

"Boss, your name is so useful."

"Okay, don't use my name to do anything without my permission."

Shen Qiu quickly reminded Chen Ye that there is no free lunch in this world. You have to pay it back sooner or later. If others give you face, you have to give others face next time you bump into him.

"understand!"

Chen Ye replied with a smile.

"Go ahead and send the mold and materials to Master Hydera. You can settle the additional expenses with him and ask me to reimburse you later."

Shen Qiu then handed the mold and materials to Chen Ye.

"No problem, I just happened to drop off the school report."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"okay."

Chen Ye took the things and left in a hurry.

"Eat quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold later."

Mu Han picked up the remote control and turned on the projection TV and said.

"it is good!"

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Yun Xiaoxi picked up a fried golden crab and put it in her mouth.

Click~
In an instant, Yun Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and she started chewing carefully.

Gollum~
With the sound of swallowing, Yun Xiaoxi praised in surprise.

"It's delicious. Shen Qiu, please try this fried crab."

Shen Qiu then took one and tasted it. He was also amazed, and then he praised it.

"Not bad, the taste is almost as good as that of top chefs."

"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more. I've been a delicate snacker since I was a child, and I always eat it in my mouth, but I can't eat out every day, so I learned to make it myself."

Mu Han smiled and took a sip of the strong tea and said.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a variety show was suddenly projected on the screen, and suddenly it was interrupted and turned into a live news broadcast.

In the image, dark clouds cover the sky, lightning thunders, and heavy rain pours down.

At this time, a female reporter wearing a raincoat with wet bangs was sitting on the door of the armed aircraft Black Harrier and reported loudly.

"Everyone, I am now following the rescue fleet and arriving above the waters of Dirik. Looking down, you can see a large number of ships floating on the undulating sea."

"So many ships? What's going on?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

Mu Han took a look and didn't find it strange, so he spoke to Shen Qiu.

"A search and rescue ship."

"Search and rescue ship? What are you searching for? So many of them are needed?"

"Of course it's a group of fishing boats searching for long-term voyages. Isn't there a huge Crescent Sea port in the east of the City of Stars? There are many fishing boats docked there, and these fishing boats go out for fishing every once in a while."

"But, the sea is so dangerous? There are countless monsters living under the sea. Isn't this nonsense?"

"There is no way. Food is very tight now. Fisheries can greatly alleviate the food crisis. There is also something very profitable about this industry, but the risk is indeed very high. Look, something is wrong."

"Ok."

Shen Qiu thought about it and realized that what Mu Han said made sense.

At this moment, the armed aircraft Black Harrier was seen rapidly descending, and the female reporter pointed the camera at the deck of a flagship.

I saw a group of people standing above.

"Everyone, what we are seeing now is the Yuyue, the battleship of the search and rescue fleet. The person on the deck who is coordinating and commanding is the Vice Chairman of the Red Alliance Yunkong. I believe that under his leadership, we will successfully rescue the accident. Of the fleet.”

The female reporter kept zooming in on the camera to expand the picture.

"Yunkong?"

Shen Qiu heard the familiar name and looked over carefully.

It turned out that the person on the deck, surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, was really the Vice Chairman of the Yunkong Council. At this time, Yun Xiaoxi said in shock.

"Father?"

"where?"

Shen Qiu was stunned when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words, and then asked.

"It's right next to it. The camera was shaking just now."

Yun Xiaoxi pointed at the projection and said.

"Ah, uncle is also on the boat?"

Mu Han was also very surprised.

"Let me see."

Shen Qiu watched the live video carefully, and sure enough, when the camera moved a little to the side, he saw Yun Jing's figure, standing in the crowd on the right side of Yun Kong.

"What's going on? Why is uncle up there?"

Shen Qiu also asked a little puzzled.

"Chen Qiu, could something happen?"

Yun Xiaoxi said nervously.

"Don't worry, try to call him. Now there is a Star Eye device, the signal is fully covered, maybe you can get through, and then you ask what exactly happened."

Shen Qiu calmly said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"it is good!"

Yun Xiaoxi calmed down and immediately called Yun Jing.

buzz~
After more than ten seconds, the call was connected, and there was a noisy background sound, followed by Yun Jing's calm voice.

"Xiao Xi, what's the matter?"

"Father, I just watched the news. Why are you on the search and rescue ship? Did something happen?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked hurriedly.

Yun Jing was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"Something did happen. Your uncle Yun Tang and his cousin went out to sea with a group of fishing boats. They were attacked in the Dirik Sea when they returned. We are on the way to search and rescue them."

"How could this happen? Why are they on the fishing boat?"

"This matter is quite complicated. I don't have time to explain it to you in detail now. In short, there is nothing wrong with me, so you don't have to worry."

"Father, do you want me to help you?"

"No need, the Yun family has already taken action and it should be possible to handle it. If you are fine, you can go to Crescent Harbor in the City of Stars. Your mother and grandfather are both there. You can go and accompany them."

"it is good!"

"Then I won't tell you anymore."

Yun Jing immediately hung up the phone.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at the hung up phone. Although her worries were temporarily relieved, there was still worry in her eyes.

"Xiao Xi, isn't your family engaged in material recycling and refining, as well as a supplier of weapons materials? Why is it related to the fishery?"

Shen Qiu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know very well, and they didn't tell me about this. But our Yun family is close to the sea after all. In addition to tourism, our previous line of business was fishing and shipping. Most of the people who split up the family are Good at this.”

Yun Xiaoxi shook her head and replied.

"I see. Let's do this. When Chen Ye comes back, let's go to Crescent Port and have a look. You don't have to worry too much. This matter should be reported in real time."

Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Uh-huh."

Yun Xiaoxi nodded happily.

Mu Han looked envious when she saw Shen Qiu being so considerate, but she was also sincerely happy for Xiao Xi.

"Okay, you two, don't worry, hurry up and eat. The food will be cold later."

"it is good."

Yun Xiaoxi replied happily.

Three days later, Chen Ye hurried back early in the morning.

"Boss, it's done."

"Let me see."

Shen Qiu stretched out his hand towards Chen Ye and Chen Ye.

Chen Ye then handed the poured mold in his hand to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu took it and found that it was quite heavy and had a sense of weight.

At this time Mu Han came over and said.

"Give it to me and I'll process it further."

"it is good!"

Shen Qiu handed it to Mu Han.

Mu Han took it with some difficulty and returned to the workbench behind with the poured mold.

She needs to take out the cast scabbard, refine it, decorate it, paint it, etc.

Shen Qiu and the others waited quietly.

.......
One day later, Mu Han came out with an exquisite red wooden box and said to Shen Qiu with a smile.

"All right!"

Shen Qiu took the wooden box and opened it, and a dark scabbard came into view. The entire surface of the scabbard is densely covered with ancient dragon-shaped patterns and intricate lines, which looks very beautiful.

Shen Qiu took out the Yi Dao Long Zheng and slowly inserted it into the scabbard. The result was that it fit perfectly.

"Not bad!"

"nice! You love it."

Mu Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mu Han. We have something urgent to do, so we'll leave first."

Shen Qiu then said goodbye to Mu Han.

"I should be the one thanking you. I'll give it to you."

Mu Han immediately sent Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi out.

After leaving the house, Yun Xiaoxi hugged Mu Han.

"Mu Han, I'm leaving."

"Well, come and play with me more often when you have time."

Mu Han said with a smile.

At this time, Shen Qiu drove the motorcycle over, and Yun Xiaoxi immediately got on it.

"Bye-Bye!"

Shen Qiu and Mu Han waved and left on their motorcycles.

At this time, Chen Ye also quickly got on the off-road vehicle, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and caught up very quickly, with the motorcycles driving side by side.

He honked the horn, put his hand on the window and shouted to Shen Qiu.

"Boss."

"If you don't go back to the company, why are you following me?"

Shen Qiu turned around and looked back and asked.

"Boss, aren't I bored? Where are you going?"

Chen Ye said with a smile.

"I'm really free. I'm going to the beach. Xiao Xi's father is searching and rescuing at sea. Let's go take a look."

"Oh, that's it. Then boss, are you sure you don't want to take me with you? I'm also top-notch in sea reconnaissance, and the fish I raise are thief 6!"

Shen Qiu was slightly startled, and his mind suddenly recalled Chen Ye's fish that jumped up and rolled its eyes.

He thought about it carefully and seemed to really want to take this guy with him.

Although it's okay now, if things get worse or if you need help, you will really need this guy. After all, this guy's reconnaissance ability is very special and he is also very useful at sea.

"Okay, follow me!"

Shen Qiu decided to take him with him.

"okay!"

Chen Ye replied with a smile.

Mu Han stood at the door of the store and looked at the disappearing figure in the distance. The breeze blew by and ruffled her hair.

She stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, her eyes filled with emotion.

Although a gene module is not particularly valuable to Shen Qiu today, it is enough to change her destiny for the rest of her life.

She sincerely wished Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi a safe and smooth future.

At noon, Shen Qiu drove near Crescent Harbor and saw a very prosperous industrial park gathering area in the distance.

The entire gathering area is lined with various factories, and there are also a large number of buildings. These buildings are generally not very high, only as high as seven or eight stories.

Looking along the way, you can see large transport trucks parked next to the factory, and the air is filled with a strong smell of seafood.

If you read it correctly, most of the factories here are related to seafood processing.

Shen Qiu turned to Yun Xiaoxi and said.

"Xiao Xi, where is your mother?"

"I have sent her a message before, she is at Crescent Port."

"it is good!"

Shen Qiu continued to drive forward.

It didn't take long for them to pass through the dense industrial park area. Shen Qiu and the others saw a very shocking scene in the distance.

"Wow!"

Chen Ye couldn't close his mouth.

The so-called Crescent Harbor is not a simple port. It was built artificially. They enclosed the sea water with dykes to form a crescent shape.

At the exit of the harbor, there is a huge gate, which cuts off the connection between Crescent Port and the open sea.

However, because the Crescent Harbor was built so large, it gave people the illusion that the harbor enclosed the sea.

Shen Qiu continued to drive towards the port, and soon saw many people standing on the edge of the port looking forward to it, looking anxiously at the sea.

Yun Xiaoxi saw Qin Lan at a glance and quickly said to Shen Qiu.

"Chen Qiu, my mother is there."

"Wait a minute while I find a place to park."

Shen Qiu found an open place nearby and stopped.

On the edge of the harbor, Qin Lan looked at the sea with a worried expression.

Then she heard a familiar shout.

"Mother!"

Qin Lan turned around and looked back, only to see Yun Xiaoxi running over, with a smile on her face and shouting.

"Xiao Xi!"

Yun Xiaoxi threw herself into Qin Lan's arms very happily.

Qin Lan smiled and touched Yun Xiaoxi's head and said with a smile.

"He's such a big man, but he still looks like a child."

At this time, Shen Qiu and Chen Ye came over and greeted politely.

"aunt."

"Chen Qiu, you're here too."

Qin Lan was also very surprised to see Shen Qiu.

"I'll accompany Xiao Xi."

Shen Qiu briefly explains.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi also asked impatiently.

"Mother, what on earth is going on?"

Qin Lan also touched Yun Xiaoxi's head and said helplessly.

"Actually, it's nothing. There are just too many people in the family, so many mouths need food, and the transformed industry can't feed so many people. Therefore, the Zong family called on everyone to return to their old business, and we returned to our old business. We built a seafood processing plant on the seaside and started our old business of fishing. Your uncle Yuntang led a team on the voyage this time, but he didn’t expect that he was very unlucky this time. On the way back, he was attacked by an unknown creature. The joint operation The fishing fleet was damaged, and a large number of ships were sunk. Since this matter involved too many people, Lord Yunkong personally organized people to carry out the rescue, and as a member of the Yun family, we naturally have a duty to do so."

"Mom, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Yun Xiaoxi looked at her mother and said.

Qin Lan showed a gentle smile and said softly to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Your father doesn't want you to take on too much of this. You just need to be happy and do the things you like. As for your family, your father and I don't have to worry."

"Ok."

Yun Xiaoxi nodded.
