June 28th. The migration in the real world had entered the final sprint stage.
All kinds of artworks, unique books, and biological specimens from Earth had already been transported to individual spaceships. Other than that, a variety of production lines and intelligent robots were also transported onto the spaceship to ensure that they could be assembled and produced immediately upon arrival on Hope Planet.
In fact, in the second year after the Explorer discovered Planet Hope, which was the year 2171, the Federal Government had formed an expedition team to Planet Hope to conduct preliminary exploration work.
The expedition team sailed for a full ten years before they reached Hope Planet. Coupled with the time it took for the signal to be transmitted, it would only take the Federal Government a few years to get to know the basic situation of Planet Hope.
Therefore, the transportation of the production lines was very targeted. As for the specific content, apart from the participants and the upper echelons of the Federation, it was strictly kept confidential.
The spaceships responsible for transporting the migrants were already parked at all the major airports around the world. As the central city of Jiaozhou, there was an airport in the suburbs. Of course, Ouyang Shuo had to rush to Shanghai first and meet up with his aunt before boarding the spaceship at the airport on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Due to the lack of maintenance, the network signal had begun to become unstable.
In the morning, Ouyang Shuo called Sun Xiaoyue for the last time to inquire about the situation of the Cui family in Dali.
"The Cui Family is very famous in Dali. It is a very large comprehensive business group. Its business covers almost all industries, and its core business is silverware and banks." Sun Xiaoyue said on the phone, "It is indeed as you said, the eldest daughter of the Cui family, Cui Yingyou, encountered a robber during a business trip half a year ago and unfortunately disappeared. After such a long time, the Cui family has already determined that Cui Yingyou is dead. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Little Yue, to tell you the truth, Cui Yingyou is in my territory. After going online, I will send you a token of Cui Yingyou. You can use this token to contact the Cui family. "
Sun Xiaoyue suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. Alright, leave this matter to me! "
"Thank you!"
Ouyang Shuo hung up the phone, turned on his optical computer, and logged into the game forums.
The lightning-fast operation launched by Shanhai County was exposed in the forum on the same day. The eight victims lamented on the forum about how their territories were not destroyed. In fact, there wasn't much to say, because they didn't even see who the enemy was. After going online, he was directly teleported to the Supreme Court.
Not counting the attacks from monsters and bandits, this should be the first instance of a territory being destroyed in the China region. Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention. Especially a few days before the immigration, at this special point in time, it was even more suspicious.
Although they did not know who the enemy was, Shanhai County was still the biggest suspect. The reason was simple. First, Shanhai County was the strongest in the Lianzhou Basin. It was completely capable of conquering eight territories at the same time. Secondly, Shanhai County had just been promoted to a second-class county, and its territory had expanded rapidly. Naturally, it was the biggest suspect.
In addition, the members of the Heavenly Blade Alliance added fuel to the fire. For a time, Shanhai County was in the eye of the storm.
Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He neither admitted nor denied it.
If someone stood out to criticize Ouyang Shuo, then that person would be a real fool. The theme of "Earth On Le" was territorial hegemony. There was no justice or injustice in territorial wars. It was just the law of the jungle.
Fortunately, there were no such fools. Even the eight victims could only vent on the forum. In the end, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
In fact, the focus of everyone's attention was on Shanhai County's sudden action at this critical juncture. They were the first to provoke a territorial war. What was their intention? Was it a declaration of strength or a statement of position?
If it was a declaration of strength, Shanhai County's strength had already been recognized by the players in the China region. There was no need to reiterate it.
Bai Xiaosheng suggested that Shanhai County's action was actually a great help to the players. In fact, He Said That Has No Clothes was warning the rookies who had just entered the game that although the players' territories were free, they were not safe. They could be attacked at any time. It was better to stay in the system's royal city. At least, there was no need to worry about safety.
Bai Xiaosheng's argument was supported by many people.
Many rookies who had just entered the game began to reconsider the pros and cons of joining the players' territories.
During the process of weighing the pros and cons, another argument was thrown out. Someone suggested that there was actually a way to get the best of both worlds. That was to join a strong territory, such as one of the top ten territories in the China region. This way, there would be fewer restrictions and there would be a guarantee of safety.
Ouyang Shuo was silent. He did not know if this argument was just a coincidence or if someone was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. It was most likely Lord Chunshen and the others. The migration in the real world had suddenly shaved away their foundation. At this time, Lord Chunshen and the others naturally hoped to use the advantages they had obtained in the early stages to attract enough outstanding players to settle in their territories. This would offset the weakening in the real world.
Although Shanhai County had indirectly benefited from this argument, Ouyang Shuo did not feel that there was anything to be happy about. From the beginning of the establishment of the territory, he had already decided that the territory would not accept players on a large scale.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo brought Bing'er to the cemetery to sweep his parents' graves for the last time. It was also a farewell.
The next morning, Ouyang Shuo would bring Bing'er to Magic City to meet up with his aunt. There were too many migrants. There were no less than 2.4 million people in Magic City alone. For this reason, the federal government had parked two large spaceships at Magic City's spaceport. Each spaceship could carry 1.2 million passengers.
Of course, these spaceships had been specially modified. Every passenger occupied a very small space. Basically, it was just enough to fit a gaming capsule. Before boarding the spaceship, the passengers had to enter the gaming capsule in advance. Then, the robots would send the gaming capsule to the designated location.
After the spaceship took off, the gaming capsule would automatically enter hibernation mode. The players' bodies in the real world would be completely frozen until they reached the destination.
After returning from the cemetery, Ouyang Shuo started to pack his luggage with Bing'er. In fact, he was considering the most precious and memorable items. The other daily necessities would be distributed by the federal government.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo chose a photo frame. It was a family photo taken when his parents were still alive. At that time, Bing'er was still a little girl. She had been very cute since she was young.
As for Bing'er, she chose a doll. The doll was a little shabby, but Bing'er treasured it because it was a birthday gift from her father.
At night, Ouyang Shuo logged into the game as usual.
During breakfast, Ouyang Shuo looked at Ying You and said, "You'er, come to my office in the morning. I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay." Ying You thought it was work related and did not mind.
At ten in the morning, Ying You came to Ouyang Shuo's office.
Ouyang Shuo invited Ying You to sit down. He organized his words in his mind and said, "You'er, you know that I'm not the same as you. I have some special methods to contact the outside world."
Ying You nodded and said, "I know."
"I have a friend in the Supreme Court. Two days ago, I asked her to inquire about your family's situation, "Ouyang Shuo continued.
Ying You's heart suddenly twitched. She said with difficulty, "And then? Did my family think that I died in the wilderness? "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "That's right. You'er, don't be sad. This is also human nature. After all, under those circumstances, there was no news from you for half a year. It's normal for them to make such a judgment. "
"Big Brother, you don't have to comfort me. I understand." Ying You tried hard to calm her emotions.
"How about this, You'er. In order for my friend to contact your family, I need a keepsake from you. It would be best if you can attach a letter in your own hand. This is my plan. When your family is sure that you're still alive, we can use the high-class market's negotiation platform to contact the Cui Family. What do you think? "Ouyang Shuo pretended to be calm.
In fact, Ouyang Shuo had his own selfish reasons for saying this.
If Ouyang Shuo was willing, he could have found a territory near the Supreme Court and formed an alliance with them after opening the teleportation array. He would then have Ying You teleport to this territory and have the territory arrange troops to escort Ying You all the way to Dali so that she could reunite with her family.
Ouyang Shuo naturally had his own reasons for not doing this.
First, he didn't want to treat the alliance as a game. The members of the Shanhai Alliance had strict selection criteria. Although Bai Hua's Lingxi County was in Yunnan Province, it was near Kunming.
After expanding the game map by ten times, Kunming was more than three thousand kilometers away from Dali. Even with the speed of the Cyan Beetle Horse, it would take at least two months to get there. It was too unrealistic to rush to Dali from Lingxi County.
Second, Ouyang Shuo really couldn't bear for Ying You to leave Shanhai County. Putting aside the relationship between them, the current Shanhai County couldn't do without her as the head of the finance department. In the future, when Shanhai County was filled with talents, Ouyang Shuo would consider arranging for Ying You to return to the family.
Sometimes, Ouyang Shuo also felt that his actions were a little despicable. He had completely betrayed the trust Ying You had in him. A long time ago, he had boasted shamelessly that he would definitely escort Ying You back to Dali when the time was right. How shameless.
However, this was the price one had to pay in order to wield power.
As a leader, the interests of his territory were his first consideration. Perhaps, only Bing'er was the most untouchable minefield in Ouyang Shuo's heart. There would be no conflict of interests there.
Actually, Ying You was already satisfied as long as she could get in touch with her family. The platform that Shanhai County provided for Ying You was also a fortuitous encounter.
"I think it's a good idea. I'll write the letter this afternoon and hand it to you, Big Brother," Ying You said.
"Good!" Ouyang Shuo said expressionlessly. (To be continued.)
