Chapter 818 Strategic Shift

Listening to Wei Qingyu's words, Chu Fei had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

What is this? As long as you are great and righteous enough, you can label others as villains at will?

It turns out that I have become the person I once hated (envied) without realizing it. The dragon-slaying hero eventually becomes the dragon.

But why do I feel some joy in my heart?

It’s fake, it’s all fake, I’m so sad, I’ve become someone I don’t know, haha…

Master Chu's inner thoughts were rich, but looking at Wei Qingyu's pale face after the change, he still said seriously: "Thank you, Sister Wei."

"I'm glad I could help." Wei Qingyu smiled faintly, but this smile seemed brighter than ever before.

Chu Fei was attracted by this smile for a moment, and then he opened the space capsule and saw that there were a large number of books, memory cards, etc. inside.

Wei Qingyu explained: "The skills come from the Zhang family in Qingzhu City. The one with the highest level of cultivation is the clan leader Zhang Hao, who has a cultivation level of 13.6.

I went to their door to trade, offering a price 1.5 times the price when it failed to sell, but they refused. I had no choice but to force them to trade.

Here is all the research data of the Zhang family over the years.

Because the previous transaction went smoothly, the Zhang family seemed to have surrendered and said they wanted the original version of the skills, which was from the cultivation civilization, so I followed them as if possessed.

Fortunately, I sensed something was wrong in advance, otherwise I would have been ambushed. But even so, I still lost the initiative.

Fortunately, we encountered the "beast tide" that had just broken out. I threatened him that if he continued to fight, his family might be destroyed, so he retreated."

Chu Fei nodded slightly and said nothing. Wei Qingyu had just circled around the gate of hell. If it weren't for this so-called world-destroying catastrophe, Chu Fei and his party would have been ready to avoid the battle of the 14.0 master.

Thinking of this, Chu Fei also took out a box of memory cards, "Sister Wei, this is also the technique I got recently, see if it can help."

Chu Fei had known for a long time that Wei Qingyu was the first one in their family to reach level 14.0, and there was no follow-up technique. After the last encounter, Wei Qingyu began to study the "Qinghong Technique". But Chu Fei didn't even like the Qinghong Technique.

Wei Qingyu took the box of memory cards generously without saying anything.

The four of them communicated with each other the whole time, and the people outside had no idea what they were talking about. They could only see what Chu Fei and "Zhang Xuemei (Wei Qingyu)" exchanged.

But this is no problem, after all, they came here together.

The city lord Pang Xinliang had been busy until this time and finally had time to come over to thank Chu Fei and ask for Chu Fei's methods.

Chu Fei smiled and said, "Sorry, the means of saving life will not be disclosed to anyone."

Hearing Chu Fei say this, Pang Xinliang forced a smile and said, "Sorry, sorry. By the way, Master, do you think we can hold out against the third wave of alien species?"

Chu Fei: "Didn't we call for backup? How long will it take?"

Pang Xinliang's face lost all its smile. "It just said that the transport plane has already set off. All we can do now is wait. There are also some experts dispatched, and we don't know how long it will take for them to arrive."

Chu Fei nodded and stopped talking, just silently looking at the Chishui River City built across the river in front of him.

At this time, the situation in Chishuihe City was turbulent again. Some people had already flown down from the high walls by means of wing suits or even simple parachutes, preparing to escape. Those who did this were mainly mercenaries, adventurers, etc.

Chishuihe City did not intercept these guys who were running away. These mercenaries were desperate criminals, and if they were not allowed to run away, the consequences would be even more disastrous if chaos broke out.

But the situation in Chishui River City is not good now.

Chu Fei estimated that even if he could stop the third wave of alien attacks, he would not be able to stop the fourth wave. In fact, the third wave was difficult because he did not have enough ammunition.

Chu Fei just saw Pang Xinliang getting angry at the quartermaster, but getting angry was useless because this wasn't a game where you could get equipment by killing people.

Even if a master really arrived, without the support of military forces, the master would not be able to face the overwhelming number of alien species.

Time passed quietly, and another half an hour passed. The third wave of aliens began to move.

Pang Xinliang's face became paler and paler.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed again at the location where the alien species landed, followed by a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

"Reinforcements have arrived?!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Chu Fei turned to look at Pang Xinliang, who shook his head, "It could be launched by other high walls, or it could be supported by the Changhong Academic Group. Ours hasn't... yet..."

Chu Fei suddenly looked up to the northwest and saw five transport planes emerging from the clouds and flying towards him.

"Here they come!" Pang Xinliang suddenly shouted, "Reinforcements are coming! Everyone get ready!"

The explosion of the new nuclear bomb and the appearance of airplanes caused a surge in the somewhat desperate morale.

But Chu Fei looked at the five planes and sighed.

A plane flew over Chishui River City, and then a parachute appeared.

The planes continued to fly forward and accelerated madly. Before the aliens could intercept them, five planes exploded one after another.

The fireball from the explosion filled the sky, brighter than the sun. The shock wave swept across dozens of kilometers. Dust enveloped the sky and the earth, including Chishui River City.

The high walls of Chishuihe City shook in the storm caused by the shock wave and explosion, and countless ordinary soldiers were blown away; some were directly injured and suffered internal injuries by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, and then fell from the more than 200-meter-high wall.

At this time, the parachute that jumped out of the plane had not yet fallen down, and was blown away by the strong wind to who knows where.

Click...

The high wall could not bear the weight, and a crack appeared right under the feet of Chu Fei and others.

Chu Fei sighed. I knew this would happen. Although the high wall is strong and made of reinforced concrete, it is not a pure steel structure after all.

"Let's go." Chu Fei said, "The reinforcements have arrived, and we can withdraw now."

Wei Qingyu was still dazed as she looked at the crack in the high wall. It was obvious that Sister Wei had not expected that war could be like this.

Although Sister Wei is a 14.0 expert, she has been busy with the auction house in recent years and has not paid much attention to wars. This is normal, women rarely pay attention to this.

As a result, the first time I paid attention to it, it turned out to be such a misunderstanding?

It is not known whether the nuclear bomb killed the alien species, but the Chishui River City is obviously doomed.

After hearing Chu Fei's words, Wei Qingyu reacted and immediately accelerated, taking advantage of the yellow sand that covered the sky and retreated to the rear.

From beginning to end, Chu Fei and others didn't think of saving people.

It’s not that we don’t want to save people, ordinary people, but how can we save people in this situation?

But even in this disaster, Chu Fei faintly heard the words "protect the city lord and leave first".

Look, the city lord doesn’t even want to save people and is just thinking about running away. Why should we worry about him?

However, for the sake of his own honor, Chu Fei secretly went over to shoot the video despite the strong wind and the sandstorm caused by the nuclear explosion.

If people ask: Chu Fei, why did you flee from the battlefield? Chu Fei will throw this information out: The city lord left first.

This world is too dangerous, men must learn to protect themselves.

Chu Fei then flew to Longshan City with Wei Qingyu, Wei Hang, and Qian Yufeng. However, many ordinary people were supported in the territory of the four people.

In the end, they just couldn't make up their minds. The four men ended up saving a thousand people.

It was only over 300 kilometers, and the four of them arrived in less than an hour, leisurely along the way. Anyway, the city lord who "left first" did not catch up with Chu Fei and his group.

In Longshan City, after dropping off the rescued people, Chu Fei found Jiang Shumin and Wu Yong, and the six of them discussed it and headed straight for Qingyun City.

Chu Fei needs to study the cultivation techniques, iterate the cosmic brain, reorganize the combat methods, etc., which will take some time;

Wei Qingyu needs a good environment to study new techniques, such as the Earth Realm Technique and Ren Xiaoyao Technique;

Jiang Shumin and others also have plans to format the cosmic brain and rebuild it.

In this situation, it is definitely not possible to stay on the front line of the battlefield, so of course we have to go to Qingyun City.

Moreover, Chu Fei's ability to refine medicine can only be maximized when he is in charge of Qingyun City, bringing more medicines to everyone and bringing new strategic advantages. So this is also called strategic transfer.

Along the way, Chu Fei shared two more prescriptions, indicating that he was still alive and still contributing to the world; at noon the next day, the group finally arrived at Qingyun City.

"Finally, we're here!" When Chu Fei saw Qingyun City, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, feeling filled with emotion.

Starting from Feihu City until today, it took a year and a half to finally reach the core location of the inland. This is simply an alternative Long March.

When I set out from Feihu City, my cultivation level was 8.0; when I arrived here, it was already the limit of 11.0; my actual combat power was no weaker than that of a cultivator in the late stage of 12.0.

When they set out, they were only accompanied by a group of semi-awakened and barely awakened team members;

Later, he simply ran away with Wu Yong alone.

Now, there is even a 14.0 master like Wei Qingyu by his side.

Looking back and comparing, Chu Fei was amazed and then proud of his achievements.

Then Chu Fei looked carefully at the magnificent Qingyun City in front of him.

It is said that Qingyun City has been rebuilt many times, and there are many reasons for its destruction, such as the beast tide, civil war, revenge from the higher-dimensional world, etc.

Today's Qingyun City was rebuilt three hundred years ago. Influenced by the terrain, the main city is an irregular hexagon as a whole, and there are six satellite cities around it.

The main city is about 6 kilometers long and covers an area of ​​about 90 square kilometers. The population in the city alone is more than million.

Including the surrounding satellite towns, the total population could reach 15 million.

A city is now qualified to establish a country.

In fact, before seeing Qingyun City with his own eyes, Chu Fei was thinking about a question: How much food would it take for so many people to gather together? !

Even in prosperous times, such a population density seems too high.

But after seeing this place with his own eyes, Chu Fei knew that the entire Qingyun City was a "pyramid". The so-called city wall was just a "fence" built around the pyramid.

The main body of Qingyun City, also known as the "Pyramid", is circular, with a diameter of about four kilometers and a height of about 1.5 kilometers, with an overall dome structure.

There are a large number of buildings on top of this "dome", with busy traffic and crowds of people.

The entire Qingyun City is a green city, with lush green overhead. Well, it's soilless cultivation technology - trees grow on steel bases. There are also high-rise buildings that are rare in the apocalypse, and all of them are dotted with plants.

From time to time, farmers driving hovercrafts fly across the sky, picking fruits and vegetables.

This is a dream city that should not appear in the end times.

From time to time, planes in groups of three or four would take off, carrying heavy bombs and flying southeast, apparently to bomb the alien species.

Wei Qingyu spoke up, “The main body of Qingyun City is a fallen sky city, a sky city that has lost its ability to float.

However, some people believe that the so-called city in the sky is actually a spaceship, which is an unfinished spaceship or has defects.

But whether it is a spaceship or a city in the sky, at its core is a powerful nuclear fusion reactor that can operate for thousands of years.

In addition, everyone agreed that this sky city was not completely abandoned, and it contained a large amount of cutting-edge technology and powerful weapons.”

Chu Fei couldn't help but ask, "Is it the same for the other three academic tycoons?"

Wei Qingyu nodded, "Without the nuclear fusion reactor left by the Sky City, how could these academic cliques develop to this point.

Big data practice, industrial production, luxurious life, various battles, etc. all require huge energy.

Small civilian-grade nuclear fusion reactors cannot meet this huge demand."

Chu Fei nodded silently, then looked at the somewhat crudely made plane flying overhead, and for a moment he felt an indescribable sense of disobedience.

In the green dream city, hovercrafts shuttle back and forth;

There are mottled high walls on the outside, and there are also mottled planes flying by.

The surrounding satellite cities, including the two that Chu Fei saw, one for heavy industry and the other for chemical industry, all looked rusty.

There was a faint smell of ozone in the wind - there was an unpleasant odor around heavy industrial areas, that was the smell of ozone brought by high-voltage electric arcs.

This strong contrast made Chu Fei at a loss for how to describe it for a moment.

Wei Qingyu spoke again, "Let's say goodbye now. I'm relieved to see that you have arrived at Qingyun City safely."

Chu Fei suddenly turned to look at Wei Qingyu, "Sister Wei is leaving?"

Wei Qingyu nodded, "Now the Treasure Pavilion is being suppressed by the Seven Stars School, I have to go back."

Chu Fei shook his head. "If it were me, I would just disappear and make it impossible for the enemy to find me. Then I would hurry up and update my skills. Occasionally, I would post messages in the Zhongzhichengcheng communication group to prove that I am still there.

The more you care about the Treasure Pavilion, the more the other party can put pressure on you through this.

As a practitioner, I believe that personal strength cannot be ignored. As long as you are strong enough and retain the ability to take revenge, the enemy will not dare to act recklessly. "

Wei Qingyu was silent.

Chu Fei: "Besides, now that the so-called world-destroying calamity has suddenly appeared, Sister Wei should hurry up and switch to practicing. Only when you become stronger can you gain more benefits for the Treasure Pavilion and protect your people in the chaos.

Similarly, in this sudden chaos, Treasure Pavilion, as an auction house, has plenty of opportunities to rise again. But to seize the opportunity, it must have sufficient military support.

Sister Wei, your heart is in turmoil."

Wei Qingyu closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, then opened her eyes and said slowly: "You are right, I will notify the Treasure Pavilion through the communication group to restrain themselves. At worst, I will not do business recently!"

After figuring this out, Wei Qingyu left a message to her family in the communication group, then she casually wiped her face and restored her original beautiful appearance.

Unlike Chu Fei's transformation, the changes of Wei Qingyu, Jiang Shumin and others are just simple movements of the skin and muscles on the lower face, which can change their faces without making drastic changes.

Chu Fei's body moved, and then he removed Zhang Bing's appearance and restored his original appearance. He was an 18-year-old boy, a typical pretty boy.

When Jiang Shumin saw this, she couldn't help but pinch the pretty boy's face.

Chu Fei:......

Wei Qingyu spoke up, "What should we do next? Contact the Qingyun Academic Group? Or sneak in quietly?"

Chu Fei looked at the prosperous Qingyun City in front of him and said with a smile: "Of course we should contact the Qingyun Academic Group. After all, we have shown up in Chishui River City, and if we want to obtain the Shuguang technique, we need to seek the skin of a tiger."

While speaking, Chu Fei had already dialed the direct line. It was Pang Wenrui's number, the number of the 14.0 master.

This place is close to Qingyun City, there is signal, and the signal is very strong.

Sure enough, the call was connected immediately, and it was a video call.

Pang Wenrui was stunned when he saw Chu Fei's new look.

Chu Fei spoke up, "Senior Pang, excuse me for disturbing you. I am the potion master Chu Fei. Now that I have safely arrived in Qingyun City, I have returned to my original appearance."

A hint of smile appeared on Pang Wenrui's serious face. "Where are you now?"

Chu Fei looked around and said, "It's still in the air, approaching the east city gate."

"Then when you get to the East City Gate, just look for a man named 'Lukeqi' and he will take you to my place. I'll call him."

"Okay, please, senior."

After the call, Jiang Shumin felt a little worried, "If I just let it go, will I be in danger?"

Chu Fei: "If it was in the past, I might be a little worried. But not now. My ability to refine medicine is the best guarantee!"

Chu Fei and his group landed and just arrived at the East City Gate, they saw a strong man waving a flag in his hand, but the flag was "frozen" with the big words "Chu Fei" written on it. There was also a medium-sized hovercraft next to this man.

Sensing the opponent's aura from afar, he was in the late 13.0 stage, slightly stronger than Wei Hang.

Chu Fei took two quick steps, "But Senior Lu Keqi?"

Chu Fei has great respect for these "watered-down" practitioners - to be able to practice to this level, they must be in their seventies or eighties, so it is definitely right to call them seniors.

Lu Keqi glanced at Wei Qingyu first, but when he saw that Wei Qingyu was actually walking behind Chu Fei, he put away the flag this time and smiled, "I dare not call you senior in front of a potion master. Please get in the car."

Chu Fei thanked him and then took the lead to walk onto the hovercraft, followed by Wei Qingyu, Wei Hang, Qian Yufeng, and Jiang Shumin.

Lu Keqi was the last to get on the car, and then the hovercraft started, flying directly over the high wall and heading straight into the city.

The hovercraft passed through tall buildings and finally landed in front of the "White House" in the center.

This is a building carved from white marble and built like a fairy palace, covering a vast area.

There is a huge rockery in the square with three big characters "Qingyun Palace" inscribed on it.

There is a small bridge with flowing water in front of the rockery, and dragonflies are swaying on lotus leaves. Behind the rockery, there are thirty-six steps of red terraces, with a carved dragon in the center, riding on the clouds.

Chu Fei was amazed by the exquisiteness of the sculpture. At first glance, the carved dragon seemed to be about to break out of the steps and soar into the sky.

When Lu Keqi brought Chu Fei and his party here, a middle-aged woman came to greet them. The woman's aura was not strong, about 9.0, and she was neither humble nor arrogant, but she also invited Chu Fei and his party to come in.

Chu Fei went all the way to the top floor and met Pang Wenrui, who was frowning and thinking, in an office hundreds of meters away.

The woman who brought Chu Fei and his party began to busy herself with pouring tea.

Seeing Chu Fei and his group coming, Pang Wenrui first looked at Wei Qingyu in surprise, nodded to Wei Qingyu, and then smiled at Chu Fei and asked directly about the situation when Chu Fei left Chishui River City.

Chu Fei briefly explained it, and when Pang Wenrui heard that the high walls of Chishui River City cracked due to the nuclear explosion, his face twitched noticeably.

After understanding the situation, Pang Wenrui said, "Master, you have come at the right time. We are in urgent need of medicine. We have some prescriptions here that need to be converted into mass-produced prescriptions. I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

"I'll try my best." Chu Fei stopped making promises and directly put forward conditions, "But I have reached the limit of 11.0 now and urgently need advanced skills. If I can break through, I can promote the mass production of 12.0 and 13.0 potions, and maybe I will be able to research 14.0 potions."

Pang Wenrui's expression changed instantly, but then he said, "I remember saying before that we adopt a contribution points system."

Chu Fei nodded. "I remember, and the contribution points for exchanging for the opportunity to inherit the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Technique' are almost equivalent to more than a hundred new recipes for 11.0, or more than twenty recipes for 12.0. Moreover, these recipes cannot be made public, they must be used exclusively by the Qingyun Academic Group, and they cannot use too unconventional medicinal materials."

"Correct."

Chu Fei casually took out a memory card and said, "Here are 11.0 prescriptions for 54 and 12.0 prescriptions for 11. Please check."

Although Pang Wenrui is not an alchemist, as a 14.0 master, he can make a simple judgment on the situation of the prescription.

After plugging it into the computer and browsing it, Pang Wenrui said, "The volcanic green lotus in the first prescription is a rare medicinal ingredient."

Chu Fei smiled, "It was in the past, but not now. Ever since I released the enhanced version of the 130% quality Tianshui potion, the Volcano Blue Lotus has become a popular medicinal ingredient."

Pang Wenrui opened his mouth and finally nodded.

After reading the prescriptions one by one, Pang Wenrui frowned. Chu Fei actually completed so many prescriptions!

This is a bit of a problem.

Just as Chu Fei had guessed before, the things on the Qingyun Academic Group's contribution points dialogue list, especially the top ones, are just for show. If you take them seriously, you will lose. And the contribution points required are also very high.

But the problem is that there is no one except a guy like Chu Fei.

But the bigger problem is: the so-called "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique" has been lost!

Amidst the constant turmoil and infighting, the Qingyun Academic Group also lost its most important heritage.

How to do?

Do you want to kill Chu Fei and his group?

But in this critical situation, Chu Fei’s value is too high.

Pang Wenrui was a little anxious.

Chu Fei sipped his tea slowly, watching Pang Wenrui spinning around leisurely, feeling deeply moved: It is true that misfortunes often bring blessings, and the world-destroying catastrophe seems to have given him bargaining power. (End of this chapter)
