Chapter 352: Chapter 324 Calculations

’Now, the GOC people should already be on site...’

In the vast sea, Li Cheng was sitting in an eight-meter-long civilian submersible boat, heading towards Yin City.

The final stage of the [Anchor Connection] was quite complicated, the time returned to ten minutes ago,

Li Cheng first used [Condensed Qi Internal Explosion Fist], in a "small quantities multiple times" mode, injected a large amount of "Qi" into Dr. Noah’s flesh, and detonated it simultaneously, completing the kill without damaging the Space Engine.

According to the agreed conditions, the high tower AI took out a prepared USB flash drive loaded with many technical documents and handed a copy to Zhao Zijing.

After that, he gave Zhao Zijing an injection of delayed-effect anesthesia antidote, moved her into the elevator, and set the time to go downstairs.

As for himself, besides an identical USB flash drive, he also took away other precious equipment from the high tower that was hard to replicate.

After finishing all this, he activated the engine, teleported the entire tower back to Earth.

Seizing the moment when other players were confused about what had happened, Li Cheng finally had the high tower AI use the remaining energy to teleport him and Gray Rain to the East Sea, over two thousand kilometers away.

Upon reaching the East Sea, Li Cheng immediately logged into the killing field entity, found a black market dealer, and bought a "almost nine new" civilian submersible boat for "girls’ own use."

Submersible boats and submarines are two different things. The latter is usually used for military purposes, such as sea combat, intelligence collection, capable of long-term underwater concealment and diving to deeper sea areas.

While submersible boats mostly retain the appearance of surface ships, they can dive to a certain depth underwater, typically used for scientific research, underwater exploration.

As early as the early 1990s, Colombia’s Medellin Group began using submarines to smuggle stimulants to the United States.

And with the fall of the Medellin Group and the arrest of the Cali Group, this skill quickly spread and developed,

many "vigorous social groups" in Central and South America also began using semi-submersible boats, low-profile boats, submarines, full submersibles, unmanned surface vessels, unmanned semi-submersibles, and other rich tools to smuggle various products to the United States.

The second-hand civilian submersible Li Cheng bought, though not from South America, was filled with suspicious traces—

it came with a speaker that played the Cantonese song "Rainy Night Piano" TikTok DJ version automatically, and the air inside inexplicably smelled like frozen pig’s feet...

In short, Li Cheng piloted the civilian submersible boat underwater and had Gray Rain coat its surface with some liquid metal to strengthen the boat structure, further exploring downwards, evading detection devices and patrol boats on the surface, wobblingly heading towards Yin City.

It took him ten hours, wobblingly returning to Yin City.

During this period, Zhao Zijing, Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon, and Father Andre all tried to use the friend communication system to contact him.

Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon and Andre didn’t know what happened on the top floor of the high tower, nor the truth of the mission,

for them, Li Cheng’s explanation was,

[We were all deceived by Dr. Noah! It’s all Noah’s conspiracy!乆!

To avoid getting burned, I’m slipping away early.]

This reason was naturally used to fool outsiders who didn’t know the truth.

When Li Cheng received a message from Zhao Zijing, he simply read it but did not reply, kicking the ball to the other side.

’If Zhao Zijing were just an ordinary member of a large guild, she would definitely report the situation immediately, send superiors to talk to me, maybe even try to uncover my real identity in the real world and use some weapon on me.

Unfortunately, she is not an ordinary guild member, but has a dual background with the Special Affairs Bureau and GOC.’

Back in his own home, Li Cheng thought calmly, ’The USB drive I handed her contained information on the Light Prism Tower, high polymer construction materials, fifth-generation nuclear power systems, brain-machine interface, each of them priceless.

Given these materials, she will certainly, must cover for me.

At the same time, because all the information is incomplete, all missing parts.

Whether it is the GOC or Special Affairs Bureau, they must cooperate with the remaining Noah AI in the high tower.

And Noah’s AI program could seize this opportunity to set conditions, demanding that they properly settle the Otherworld refugees.’

Perhaps due to the lofty pride of being a scientist, Noah was deeply disgusted with those rich and powerful before his death. The Otherworld refugees cold-stored in the high tower were all ordinary people, numbering around four to five thousand.

Such a small number could be fed on any unnamed small island in the Pacific Ocean, as long as secrecy was well maintained.

The GOC and Special Affairs Bureau would most likely agree.

Li Cheng’s cousin Xue Luomeng remained in the underground parking lot, and his cousin Xue Lingyu was initially teleported near the high tower, taken back by spider robots to the high tower for cold storage and hibernation. Both could return to society after disinfection, quarantine, and memory cleansing.

Everything was within his plan.

The only uncertainty might be the fate of the Invisible Conception,

"Sigh, this mission has exhausted me."

Gray Rain, now in pajamas, dramatically shrugged and rubbed her waist, walking past Li Cheng, with a shopping cart checkout screen from Taobao on her phone.

"What are you tired from?"

After a long time of living together, Li Cheng knew Gray Rain’s quirks well. Lightly twitching his eyelids and sarcastically commenting, "You didn’t really have to fight this time."

"No, but the mission time was long."

Gray Rain confidently replied, "Even if no merit, there is effort, even if no effort, there is fatigue, even if no fatigue, there is the early morning in Los Angeles..."

"Los Angeles is burned, what Los Angeles?"

Li Cheng waved his hand with a face of pain. Gray Rain, upon hearing this, immediately began to act like a koala bear, hanging on him and swaying, "Buy me a game console, figures, comics, graphics card..."

The 800-plus kilogram soft body pressed Li Cheng so hard he could not breathe. The two tussled and pulled,

Rip—

The clothes and pants on Li Cheng finally couldn’t withstand the unbearable weight and tore apart.

"..."

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly turned incredibly heavy,

Gray Rain silently jumped down, and Li Cheng, without saying a word, went to the warehouse to get new clothes and pants to wear, then cleared Gray Rain’s shopping cart, as if nothing had happened.

It was like when watching movies or TV shows with parents at home, encountering some inappropriate content, the best way to handle it is to act as if nothing is seen, continuing the family activities without comment.

Any other form of behavior would result in awkwardness.

"I’m going to do my homework."

Gray Rain said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, walking lightly back to her room.

Li Cheng nodded, quietly opened the mission log, and began to inspect this time’s harvest.
