After quietly returning to New York, Zhang Lisheng immersed himself in the Internet to understand the current situation of the Earth's various forces fighting openly and covertly, compromising, and making peace. During this period, he found a piece of information that appeared during the 'winter riots' that seemed inconspicuous but was widely circulated.
The information stated that long before large-scale field exploration was carried out, Atlantis had already divided all the foreign worlds that appeared on Earth into six levels through simple intelligence collection:
A level-zero world with almost no living creatures, energy, and mineral deposits, with only air and a small amount of sewage that had no plundering value;
A level-one world with no supernatural power and no signs of intelligent civilization that could be easily occupied;
A level-two world with no supernatural power found in its native creatures and the emergence of a mature intelligent civilization, but its comprehensive strength was relatively weak and had a higher immigration value;
A level-three world with supernatural phenomena and the emergence of a mature intelligent civilization, but its comprehensive strength was not strong, but it had advanced technology or god's relics, literature, and legends in its territory and had a higher immigration value;
A level-four world with gods or advanced technological civilizations, but its colonial value was extremely low, and the loss was not even worth the gain, so it should be isolated as much as possible;
A level-five world that might be the origin of the 'sea monster' that devoured planets in ancient times and must be fully defended and isolated. Based on these six roughly divided 'levels' as a framework, each level also had a detailed ranking of a single foreign world.
At present, there were about 50 'trashy' level-zero worlds that had been discovered.
There were only two level-one worlds that could be called as priceless treasures, Noah and Kunlun. Not only that, but they had already fallen into the hands of the United States and China. In a situation where they were unwilling to start a full-scale war, Atlantis could only sigh helplessly.
Taking a step back, the best colonization target of the aliens was also about 50 level-two worlds. Taking another step back, the number of level-three worlds was the largest, with hundreds of them. Among them, the Shrimp World No. 2 was ranked ninth in this group. For this reason, it was called the '30009 world' by the Atlanteans.
Such a ranking could be said to be very low, tasteless, but a pity to abandon. It was also because of this that Atlantis jokingly sent the smallest fleet to try to conquer the Wizard Li natives. After the flagship was destroyed, they did not act rashly and launch a large-scale invasion for revenge.
After analyzing all of this through information collection, the most perfect result that Zhang Lisheng expected was that the Shrimp World No. 2 would be upgraded by the aliens to be a level-four or level-five world that needed to be isolated. For this reason, he no longer hid his whereabouts and openly appeared in sensitive occasions like the Chinese consulate in New York, taking the risk to get a chance to Atlantis.
At this time, when the young man heard Alansol taking the initiative to mention that the Shrimp World No. 2 should be blocked, he was ecstatic. Facing the Atlantean captain 'bright and dazzling eyes, he said without any hesitation, "Of course, I can guarantee that what I said is true, Captain Alansol."
"This is the most straightforward and frank sentence that you've said tonight, but I think it's the most untrustworthy, Dr. Lisheng.
Your biological research that you've neglected sleep and food in recent years has been carried out around the Hellfire Archipelago in the 30009 World. It's hard for me to imagine that you would just abandon it so easily, "Alansol and Zhang Lisheng looked at each other in silence for a moment before suddenly chiming in.
"Even if the Shrimp World No. 2 is really blocked, I should still have the right to enter and exit freely, right?
Someone is willing to help you monitor the movement of a dangerous foreign world for free, so I don't believe that Atlantis will refuse it. " Knowing that he had revealed a flaw due to his increasingly uncontrollable emotional fluctuations, the young man's heart tightened. With a blank expression, he shrugged and said, "Alright, Sir Alansol. Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. I've already said what I should say.
There's no need for me to repeat it to Staff Officer Dulphee again. Can I go now? "
"Of course, Doctor. Since you've fulfilled your obligations, no one will continue to restrict your actions.
You're now standing on the land of the United States that will always be democratic and free, "Joss, who was by the side, chimed in first. Joss, who was by the side, chimed in first. This federal three-star lieutenant general who was familiar with Zhang Lisheng's bizarre life actually did not completely believe the bizarre story told by the young man. However, he had his own principles of doing things. Besides, in front of the Atlanteans, he instinctively wanted to protect the interests of his compatriots on Earth.
Even though he was unwilling, Alansol still had no reason to refute the commander of the New York military base. After a moment of silence, he realized that he could only choose to give in. He nodded at the young man and said, "I'll ask Staff Officer Dulphee to send you back to the city, but I hope that you can keep your mobile phone on so that it's convenient to contact you."
Zhang Lisheng stood up from the sofa and wanted to casually agree to the request of the Atlantean captain. However, when he inadvertently noticed the fleeting unfathomable expression on Alansol's face, he swallowed the words that he wanted to say.
"What's wrong, Doctor? Is there any difficulty? Or do you want to continue living in seclusion?" When Alansol saw that Zhang Lisheng remained silent for a long time, he asked aggressively.
Zhang Lisheng was rendered speechless for a while. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his head as he shrugged and said, "Oh, it's nothing, Captain Alansol. It's just that I've lived in the primitive jungle for so long that I've almost forgotten what a mobile phone looks like.
Alright, I'll return to the habits of a civilized person in the future and carry a mobile phone with me, but it may not be convenient for you to contact me because I'll return to my hometown to rest for a while in a few days. "
"Dr. Lisheng, you're returning to China?" The black general by the side asked in surprise. It seemed that he knew Zhang Lisheng's fake identity as a New Yorker very well.
"Yes, General. Too many things have happened in the past six months, and I feel exhausted.
There's a proverb in China that says' a tired bird returns to its nest '. I think I should stop my hurried footsteps and return to the quiet and remote mountain village where I grew up to breathe the fresh air and casually see those simple neighbors.
Speaking of which, they're like my family. We also have a proverb in China that says' a close neighbor is better than a distant relative '. The moment I think of seeing their simple smiling faces, I feel warm in my heart. "Zhang Lisheng looked like he was immersed in his memories as he continued to talk.
"Doctor, isn't your real family, your mother, in the Noah World? Where else can she go …"
"Oh, General, I know your concerns. Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut about the work I'm doing for the federation. Besides, I don't think there's anything that needs to be kept confidential, right?
I came back to China to take a break and to see what my hometown has become. "Zhang Lisheng sighed and interrupted Joss' words. A pained and worried expression gradually appeared on his face." Did that small mountain village turn into a sea of fire like in my dream? Did it … Did it turn into a sea of fire?
I think you should be able to understand this feeling, right? "
Upon hearing this question, Joss turned from a federal three-star general to an ordinary black old man and let out a long sigh. "Of course, I think the 'little mountain village' in your heart is just like the wheat field in Kebo Town, Minnesota in my memory. It's a concern that can't be cut off.
Alright, it's your freedom to go wherever you want, but please remember your obligation. "
"Thank you, General." After Zhang Lisheng bowed slightly to Joss, he nodded to Alansol one last time. "Then, I'll take my leave, Sir Alansol." Then, he strolled towards the office door.
When he opened the door and saw Dulphee guarding by the side, the young man smiled and said, "Mr. Staff Officer, I'll have to trouble you again. Captain Alansol, please send me back to New York City immediately."
"Sir …" Dulphee looked into the room in puzzlement. When he saw the officer nodding lightly with a blank expression, he cleverly stopped talking and turned to Zhang Lisheng while shaking his head to signal him to walk out of the office building along the corridor.
The door was closed again. Alansol frowned and looked at the wooden door for a few seconds before walking to the cabinet next to the water dispenser to take out a box of instant coffee. "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring you coffee, General Joss.
To be honest, in my heart, coffee with milk is the most valuable discovery on Earth. It's delicious, sweet, refreshing, and I'll never get tired of drinking it. "
"There's no need for that, Sir Alansol. It's getting late, and my wife is still waiting for me to have dinner at home. Goodbye." The black general stood up ungratefully and quickly opened the door. Without warning, a low voice resonated from behind him. "Wait a minute, General. May I ask how credible do you think Dr. Zhang's words are today?"
"Captain, to be honest, I can't judge whether that bizarre story is credible or not, but Dr. Zhang doesn't have any reason to lie to us, does he?"
"Yes, so far, I really can't find any reason for him to lie to us …" The Atlantean captain was stunned. With a grave expression, he muttered thoughtfully, not even noticing that Joss had left quietly.
When he snapped back to reality, he saw that the office was already empty, so he immediately threw away the coffee and strode to the desk to sit down. Spreading out his right hand, he emitted a faint milky white glow before gently sweeping it across the table.
At once, eight oval silver metal beans arranged on the smooth surface of the desk silently flipped up. After the silver beans appeared, they turned from dark to bright in just a few seconds, before emitting a bunch of colorful brilliance. Intertwining together, they transformed into a charming beautiful woman with long wavy curly hair who had a black ribbon tied on her forehead.
The woman was originally flipping through a thick book with an old cover with the words' Golden Nation 'written in Greek on it. All of a sudden, as though she had sensed something, she raised her head and smiled elegantly. "Captain Alansol, have you met the last explorer of the' 30009 World '?"
She spoke in a kind and casual manner, but Alansol's answer was solemn and respectful. "Yes, madam. That Dr. Zhang told me a tortuous and bizarre story. I'll transmit the video to you."
