Chapter 2554: Chapter 2546: New Channels (2nd Update)
Ninth Brother is famous, Ninth Brother also loves profit, but in the end, Chen Jiu is a grassroots... he carries a strong grassroots sentiment.
After waking up yesterday, he did not fall into deep coma again. Ninth Sister-in-law made a fuss facing the military, also under his instruction, just to give the military a headache and to avoid further investigation as much as possible.
Moreover, he also learned about what happened in Zuo Jing during his coma, and to say he wasn’t envious would be impossible.
Originally, he was thinking about how to apply to the other party to let Xiajing also enjoy such treatment. He didn’t know how to ask until he suddenly heard that the other party was leaving, which made him anxious, so he took the opportunity to ask.
Feng Jun did not hide it from him, and straightforwardly said, "Have you heard about Zuo Jing? I thought maybe Xiajing could operate a bit too, but the conditions are really too immature, so there’s no way."
Chen Jiu still sat in the repair fluid, pleading bitterly, "Your Excellency, Xiajing is actually worse than Zuo Jing, please help us, support us with some materials and energy stones."
"I would like to, but you don’t have the strength of Hesheng," Feng Jun stated very directly, "The influence is insufficient, there’s no money, and there’s not even a place to store materials. How do you expect me to operate?"
"Worse still, your body is so damaged right now that you don’t even have the ability to run errands! If it weren’t because you were injured while covering the retreat, I wouldn’t even find a reason to help you."
Ninth Brother was silent but didn’t sit down. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and slowly asked, "Do you think the Qins’ refuge is still big enough?"
"Whether it’s big or not, that’s your perception," Feng Jun replied indifferently, but he was really curious because this guy isn’t quite on good terms with Sister Qin, "Smaller space, less stuff... Anyway, it’s definitely not as big as Hesheng’s depot."
"I’m embarrassed to ask for energy stones again," Ninth Brother said slowly with his eyes closed, "Recently, I found another channel to provide energy stones, can you help transport the energy stones to Xiajing? You can take half of the energy stones as a transportation fee."
After thinking for a while, Feng Jun responded in a deep voice, "Where are the energy stones? Let me state upfront, I’m not going to the Dumbbell Star System."
"The energy stones are in outer space," Ninth Brother replied in a deep voice, "There are three transport ships with nine million tons of energy stones."
After thinking about it, Feng Jun said, "I don’t want energy stones, just give me the three transport ships."
"No problem," Chen Jiu answered without hesitation, transport ships are certainly more valuable than half of the energy stones, but this is the front line, and with a little carelessness, both ship and cargo could be lost. As long as the energy stones can be delivered, what’s the harm in giving away the transport ships?
"I can take this order," Feng Jun nodded, "Then what? That refuge can’t hold nine million tons of energy stones."
The Qin family’s refuge isn’t small, but at most, it can only hold about three million tons of energy stones.
"My hospital and warehouse can still hold more than two million tons," Ninth Brother calculated diligently. He used to calculate based on four and a half million tons, thinking it was nearly enough. But now it’s nine million tons, and finding a place is not easy.
After thinking for a bit, he made up his mind, "Alright then, give me half a day... I’ll make some arrangements."
"Okay," Feng Jun nodded, the Great Sages outside are still waiting to attack the Nascent Soul Bugs. Nevertheless, he sternly warned the other party, "Let me give you a word of advice, don’t spread the sites too thinly, some things just can’t be forced."
"I understand," Chen Jiu forced a smile, "Once I have a result, how should I notify you?"
"You have a result, I will naturally know," Feng Jun’s body flickered and he was outside the door in an instant, "See you."
"That speed..." Shuanzi couldn’t help but grin, "No wonder he’s a Super Gene Warrior."
"Close the door, turn off all monitoring," Chen Jiu said in a deep voice, "Take out the encrypted handset we got today."
In his current surroundings, all communication encrypted channels are nonsense, the only thing he can trust is the military’s encrypted quantum handset, and it can’t be used frequently, otherwise once the other party identifies your frequency, the encrypted handset can be cracked just the same.
After Feng Jun came out, he left like a ghost, at the same time sending a Divine Sense to Yi Jue, "You can continue the rain."
Since the Rain Prayer Array was only turned to minimum, the rain clouds were still there, and raindrops started falling again within five or six minutes, which immediately startled the Insect Race Nascent Souls surrounding them.
By now, the arriving Insect Race Nascent Souls numbered seven.
They did not dare gather under the rain clouds, nor did they even have the courage to gather together, fearing being wiped out in one strike.
However, not grouping up means their individual strength is too weak, making them easy targets to be quietly captured,
So they formed three battle partners in groups of two, two, and three, arranging themselves in a triangle to monitor the rain clouds.
However, all these preparations were in vain; as soon as Ren Tu and Ban Yu made their move, seven Nascent Soul Bugs vanished instantly.
Two bugs managed to desperately send out warning messages, but a blurred figure in the void flickered, turning the two thoughts into nothingness, "Secretly attacking, yet almost let their thoughts escape. Can’t the two seniors focus a bit better?"
Ren Tu didn’t have much to say, but Ban Yu remarked, "San Cai within San Cai, plus Self-Detonation, who could have thought of this?"
The exchange among the True Sages was sidelined for now, as raindrops fell, the Insect Race rampant above Xiajing City instantly panicked, fleeing for their lives, with many bugs directly breaking through the cloud layer upwards.
"Si Ganlin!" Yi Jue ignored the bugs below the clouds, immediately casting a reverse heavenly river spell, countless raindrops flew upwards, piercing one bug after another.
At this moment, it was deep night, and monitors outside the atmosphere couldn’t effectively surveil, plus the Insect Race Nascent Souls around were also captured; Yi Jue was truly unconstrained in her actions.
In the very next moment, she raised her hand, directly manifesting an enormous net that swept away the bug corpses above the clouds, in terms of efficiency, far surpassing Feng Jun’s corpse collecting speed by many times.
This shows that cultivators have indeed sacrificed a lot of combat power to prevent the Insect Race and Human Race from discovering their bloodlines.
Immediately after, white mist rose around Xiajing City, with the Insect Race frantically fleeing. As for the few Insect Race inside the city, Yi Jue no longer bothered; they could be attacked by Federation warriors, saving Feng Jun the trouble of corpse collecting.
"These people haven’t left?" The military department and government of Xiajing City were ecstatic to see this, "Quick, notify everyone..."
"Notify everyone about what," someone gloomily remarked, "we don’t have that many energy stones to distribute."
No matter what, knowing the mysterious forces hadn’t left, all of Xiajing City was jubilant. The next day, although it was still raining, many people rushed out to get rained on, shouting and yelling in the rain.
Near noon, Feng Jun walked close to the hospital, gesturing toward a man with a cigarette in his mouth, "Come over here."
The man had one blind eye, looking a bit fierce and unruly, but seeing someone call out to him, he obediently walked over, even smiling, "Is it... you, sir?"
"It’s me," Feng Jun nodded, "Did Chen Jiu send you out to deliver a message?"
In fact, he already knew this was Chen Jiu’s second son. He also knew what the other wanted to convey, but... he decided to listen to him anyway, no need to show too much unusual behavior.
Chen Xiao Er didn’t suspect anything either, since the other’s demeanor... basically couldn’t be faked, and Chen Jiu chose him because he had a small target, unlikely to be watched by the military.
Indeed, Chen Jiu had attracted the military’s attention again; with the rain, the observation posts reappeared, and the guards couldn’t chase them away. They claimed to be from the military, here to execute a mission, and now that there were no bugs, how could you drive us away?
Last night’s events made the military quite upset, but however mad they got, they couldn’t argue, and they still had a comrade in the hospital recovering, needing to be transferred once better.
Though Chen Xiao Er was indeed Chen Jiu’s own son, he wasn’t part of Chen Jiu’s gang. His relationship with his father had been strained for a long time, and his message delivery was unexpected to the military, who thought he was just there to care for the dying Chen Jiu.
But in fact, the father and son didn’t get along purely because of their strong personalities, often arguing to the point of fighting. Yet, when Chen Jiu had something secret to handle, he trusted this son greatly.
Chen Xiao Er had long heard of the mysterious forces that even his father treated respectfully; he was quite willing to run this errand, contributing to Xiajing City in the process.
The message he brought was that there were actually seven ships transporting supplies, five loaded with energy stones, and the other two carrying some food and medicine along with energy stones. The shipowner said if they could transport all seven ships’ supplies, the ships could be given away entirely.
The five fully loaded energy stone ships amounted to 15 million tons, and with the other two ships, the total volume exceeded 20 million tons.
This quantity wasn’t difficult for Feng Jun, but the shipowner had another request: he hoped to transport most of the items to Youjing.
Xiajing only had hospitals and shelters to store items; even with some additional locations, the total volume would only be five to six million tons, so the majority had to go to Youjing.
Truth be told, the shipowner was from Youjing, and near Youjing, there was a civilian airport terminal bustling with transport activity.
The shipowner controlled "Brilliant Starry Sky Shipping," the largest native shipping company on the Administrative Planet, and though not as large as some interstellar shipping companies, its influence on Xingzheng Star was unmatched by those giants.
This shipowner named Xuan Gao came from a family that had been running interstellar shipping for four generations, growing from a single ship to over twenty ships.
Xuan Gao’s father had originally left the shipping business, but when the family company faced trouble, Xuan Gao stepped up to reorganize it, now commanding over a hundred cargo ships, along with a significant number of escort ships or armed merchant ships.
