Most of the energy used by the New Washington A came from the star that shone on the Noah World.
This technology that used the light energy technology taught by the Atlanteans to collect energy for recycling was completely different from the simple solar energy technology of the previous Earth civilization in terms of energy efficiency. It could completely use light energy as the main energy source of the city, but the only drawback was that the cost of building the energy system was very high.
This led to the fact that, before it matured further, this light energy technology could not be popularized except for the experimental use when building oasis cities in the foreign world.
Secondly, even if most of the energy in the New Washington A was renewable, it did not mean that it could be wasted casually. It must be used in a planned manner, so the street lights on the edge of the city were not very bright.
Under the double illumination of the cold moonlight and the soft beige light, Zhang Lisheng walked on the hazy road with sand-proof trees on both sides. He anxiously searched for his prey but to no avail for a long time.
This was because after nearly two years of living in the desert city, the cold nature had already taught the immigrants of the New Washington A enough lesson. If it was not necessary, very few people would wander on the edge of the city at night.
Following behind the sandman, he walked along the tree-lined streets on the edge of the city that looked like a public park. He circled around the city for half a round but found nothing. Gradually, the young man's patience was worn out.
He had the intention to go deep into the city naked with his skinny body to try his luck, but he was worried that such a reckless action would bring him unexpected trouble, so he could not help but curse, "What the hell? Since when has the New Washington A become even more deserted than the darkest and depraved neighborhood of Queens …"
"W-Who's there? Stop playing tricks, buddy. I've already seen you. If you continue to hide, I'll pull out your teeth and nail them on your forehead."
Zhang Lisheng's voice was not loud, but it spread far in the desolate street that was as quiet as a cemetery. The instant his words left his mouth, a few black shadows suddenly jumped out of the bushes in the distance and bluffed loudly, "Listen, even though I, Blackjack, am famous, I've never hurt anyone for no reason. Come here honestly, and I'll let you go."
"Oh, looks like the battle during the day has really exhausted me. I can't believe I didn't even notice a few little bugs hiding.
Mr. Blackjack, right? Although I can't let you go, I'll give you and your companions a decent funeral to thank you for your initiative. " A sense of relief could be heard in Zhang Lisheng's tone as he ordered the sandman softly, "Kill them, but don't dirty your clothes."
"Y-You! Don't come over here! Don't come over here …" The young man's faint killing intent caused the black shadows 100 meters away to feel a chill run down their spines. Looking at the sandman who was striding towards them, they reneged on their request just now.
Seeing that the Sandman did not stop, he stuttered and threatened again, "We have guns, we have guns pointing at you …" He raised his arm and made a aiming gesture.
At this time, the magic creation was less than twenty or thirty meters away from the figure. Under the moonlight, the horrifying face made of sand with only eyes and ears could be vaguely seen.
Finally, someone among the black shadows could tell that the incoming person was not a human at all. Screaming in horror, he said, "No! That's not a human! Oh my God! Shoot! Shoot now …" Gunshots rang out. Unfortunately, to the inorganic creature made of sand and water, the small-caliber pistol that was not even as powerful as a crossbow could not cause any fatal damage at all.
Under the sandman's rapid charge, the gunshots, exclamations, and shouts soon became softer and turned into moans and struggles. A few minutes later, the road at the edge of New Washington A regained its dead silence.
When everything was over, Zhang Lisheng strolled to the scene of the murder. Just as he had expected, the group of people who took the initiative to jump out of the woods to threaten him and ended up suffering misfortune instead were two groups of criminals who were hiding on the edge of the uninhabited city to conduct illegal transactions. This could be seen from the pills and flour-like white powder scattered around.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Crimes are really everywhere. Even the newly built cities in the foreign world are inevitable …" Looking at the criminals on the ground whose eyes were wide open as they suffocated to death, with their faces full of wet sand and despair, the young man sighed with emotion while picking and choosing a set of clothes to wear with great difficulty.
After that, he searched all the money on the dead and finally took a wide-brimmed cap from the head of a black corpse to cover his face. Then, he stood up and ordered the Sandman beside him, "Bury them in the desert at least 30,000 steps away from the city. After that, you can disperse."
Upon hearing the Creator's order, the creation of the divine power suddenly stomped its feet into the soil of the sand-proof forest. Like a river flowing against the current, it grew in size and picked up the corpses on the ground one by one. At this time, Zhang Lisheng had already turned around and walked towards the center of the oasis city.
Now that he had normal clothes and money, things became easier. Crossing the uninhabited area at the edge and coming to the street with dense traffic, the young man stopped a taxi and soon returned to the front of Tina's villa. Half an hour later, the three girls, Tina, Trish, and Sheila, gathered on the enclosed terrace on the second floor of the villa and listened to him narrate the dangerous encounter of the day.
"This is by no means an ambush on a whim, but a well-planned murder instead." Sitting leisurely on the rattan chair in the middle of the terrace that had walls and ceiling made of tempered glass, Zhang Lisheng finally voiced out his own conclusion. "Precious formation map; four Gate of Dao elders with combat power comparable to at least ten Grand Wizards.
They're fully dressed in Taoist robes, Taoist crowns, and jade ornaments. Not only that, but they also have the right timing and the reason to make me take the bait. This means that those Taoist priests have been planning this for a long time. What I don't understand is why the Gate of Dao would go through so much effort to kill me? "
The instant the young man's words left his mouth, Tina could not suppress the anger in her heart as she looked at his emaciated face. Loudly, she said, "No matter what the reason is, using the reason that I'm in danger to lure you into the trap and almost lose your life is an absolutely unforgivable crime! This is an unforgivable crime. I will definitely make those Chinese religious believers pay the price with their blood! "
As the girl's anger flared up, the secret button on a brown platinum handbag on the coffee table beside her automatically opened with a 'pa' sound. A thick hard-covered book slowly rose and silently opened in the air, revealing a blank page.
Then, as though there was an invisible brush in the air, it began to draw a picture on the page of the book. Very soon, a sketch of a skyscraper slowly appeared.
"That's the Waterford Business Apartment Building. I recognize its triangular base." When the image of the building was completely displayed on the page of the book, Trish, who had been leaning against the glass wall without saying a word, looked at the thick book floating in the air and suddenly said, "Looks like those pagans are still staying in the Noah World and have not escaped.
What a bunch of confident fellows! "
From the moment the red-haired girl uttered the first word, her body began to emit a milky white light that became more and more intense. By the time she finished her words, her entire body had already been shrouded by the light ball, and even her outline had become blurred.
"Don't be too agitated, sisters. It's better to look for a 'professional' for some things. Unless those Taoist priests have the strength to fly across the Pacific Ocean with their superpower, it's very easy for them to arrange some accidents in our 'home'." Sheila, who knew the temper of Tina and Trish very well, could sense that her close friends were about to lose control of their anger, so she quickly persuaded them.
"Accidents? Oh, Sheila, the current US is not in the 'chaotic era' of the 1930s." Upon hearing the words of the three girls, Zhang Lisheng smiled wryly. "The Chinese Taoists, whose history is several dozens of times longer than the founding history of the US, are not gangsters from Mississippi either …"
"Lisheng, when it comes to the amount of money, perhaps you're not inferior to any of the famous families in the US. However, LS is still very young, and you're a yellow-skinned, black-eyed Asian. For this reason, you're much inferior in terms of using money.
Just leave this matter to me and Tina to handle, "Sheila interrupted the young man's words and said suggestively," As for the other aspects, I can only say that don't underestimate the power of mortals with 'professional skills.' "
"Oh, I really didn't expect you to say such words, Sheila." Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. After studying the girl again, he smiled and said, "Looks like taking over the family business has changed you a lot, but I'm not weak to the point where I need three girls to help me take revenge.
Listen, I'm telling you all these things because, first, I want you to help me figure out the reason why the Gate of Dao attacked me.
Second, I want to remind you to pay more attention to the other party's background when you come into contact with the Chinese in the future. Even though those Taoist priests who take morality as their original creed will never harm you just because of my relationship, it's still smarter to be cautious. For example, don't provoke them first.
As for revenge, I'll take it myself, but not at this crucial moment for my cultivation, do you understand? "
The young man's tone was calm, but it had an unyielding tone that could not be refused. The girls could only nod in agreement and turned their attention from revenge to help find the reason for the attack. Very soon, they found out that Zheng Tianliang, who was brutally killed by Zhang Lisheng a few years ago, had a close relative or even his parents who had become a high-ranking figure in the Gate of Dao.
Guo Caiying, who had an extraordinary background, behaved too intimately with Zhang Lisheng in the welcome party held by Tina, causing the jealousy of Lu Shangyou, who was arranged by the Gate of Dao to get close to Guo Caiying and wanted to capture her heart to carry out a big conspiracy.
The Gate of Dao's people used some unknown divination to discover that Zhang Lisheng might obtain the power of a god in the future and revitalize the witchcraft … Many plausible reasons were found out one by one and rejected one by one. In the end, the focus of the problem turned around and finally focused on the mine business that the Chinese government-owned China Energy was trying to sign with the comprehensive development company that Tina hosted.
