Chapter 2935 (﹃) Hey, sinister humans...
Regarding the attitude of Annie's sudden appearance of the "alien" and how to deal with the third-party alien forces targeting the earth, how the two sides should get along and contact, etc., the top brass of the PDC Planetary Defense Council
We are still in the midst of heated discussions, and we will definitely not be able to come to a conclusion in a short period of time.
But no matter what, before the final decision is made, it does not prevent Annie from eating, drinking, having fun, and wandering around in the Jiangnan classical-style garden villa area in the mountains, causing trouble for the security personnel and service personnel.
Isn’t this?
"Uh huh huh..."
()
It was a hot summer afternoon outside. In the refreshing mountain breeze, the shade of the trees, and the soft and mottled light that fell through the tree crowns to the ground, in the back garden of the Jiangnan garden-style mansion, in
The area was carefully tended and surrounded by a variety of flowers. It was mainly paved with pebbles and was designed to lead people deeper into the garden. On the winding path, Anne was jumping forward on it.
"..."
Behind her, Shi Qiang followed unhurriedly, his eyes falling on Annie's bouncing back from time to time. His face was full of complex expressions such as emotion, hesitation and confusion, and he didn't know what it was.
What are you thinking about.
He didn't know how his superiors were going to treat the little alien girl in front of him, but he only knew that his boss's boss, that is, his old boss, Commander Chang, had given him an order, which was to protect her at all costs.
Personal safety; meet any of her needs at all costs!
As for that order, especially regarding safety, Shi Qiang wasn't too worried.
Because, this mountain garden is surrounded by two military bases, and humans and animals are kept away within a radius of dozens of miles. He doesn't believe that those lunatics from ETO can infiltrate and carry out assassinations!
As for other needs...
Judging from the past few days of contact, the other party does not seem to have any special needs. Apart from being very satisfied with the delicious and delicious banquets he arranged and wanting more, there is really nothing else.
He always felt a little troubled by this, and thought that he seemed to have failed to complete the task well. Therefore, after contacting him for a few days, he felt that the little alien girl Annie seemed to be really easy to talk to. He hesitated and thought about it.
I quickly followed him, ready to do something.
Naturally, he does not dare to act randomly and do something that may affect the decision-making of his superiors. In fact, he just wants to learn more information under the right circumstances, which can satisfy his personal curiosity while also providing him with information.
The superiors provide more reference information, nothing more, and there is not much selfishness.
"!!"
"Hello--"
"etc!"
While he was following up and thinking about things, when he saw the little girl turning away, Shi Qiang became anxious, shouted and ran up quickly.
"Annie, you can't go any further. You're out the front."
"It's not very safe outside..."
In fact, the outside is just as safe. After all, there are deep mountains and old forests outside, and there are countless soldiers hiding inside. It is absolutely impossible for ETO to infiltrate!
However, Shi Qiang, who didn't want to cause trouble for others, and certainly didn't want to cause trouble for himself, still didn't want the other party to leave the garden.
Besides, this garden is already big enough, bigger than the royal gardens in the capital. Now that she lives alone, it would take at least an hour or two just to walk around the perimeter. Is it possible?
Not enough for her to play with?
"Not safe?"
-
(゜-゜)
"Why is it unsafe?"
(.)
Annie stopped and looked at Uncle Shi, who was following him quickly, a little confused. After all, she knew that apart from an airport and a winding mountain road, there seemed to be only a deep mountain forest outside. What was so unsafe about it?
?
"Could it be that there is something strange outside?"
|▽)
If there really was one, Anne wouldn't mind taking a look. Anyway, she didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, she just wanted it for a rarity.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Something weird?"
"That's not true!"
There would only be some wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests outside. How could there be anything strange? So, Shi Qiang shook his head, and then Ai continued:
"Three-Body Sophon ordered ETO to assassinate you. You also saw what happened in the urban area of ​​N city before."
"If you stay here, we can still ensure your safety, but if you go out, that may not be the case."
"I think it's better for us to be careful during this time?"
Yes, Shi Qiang really didn't want to cause trouble before the new order came down from his superiors, and the little alien girl in front of him couldn't use coercion. If it had been someone else, he would have ordered her not to leave the garden.
If the scope is over, how can you still be nagging at the other party?
"ETO?"
(˙o˙)
"Assassination?"
(.)
Anne blinked, then remembered something, and then suddenly said with disdain:
"What's the use of those bad guys' assassinations? Didn't they all avoid them?"
(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~
When she heard what was going on, Anne naturally curled her lips and then turned around and continued walking forward.
"That's good luck for you!"
"It won't be so good next time."
Although he knew that the little girl in front of him was not an ordinary person, Shi Qiang still shook his head with some fear when he thought about the assassinations that those ETOs carried out one after another.
He felt that even if it were Shi Qiang himself, he would probably have died in the subsequent rockfall and truck. How could he be like the little girl in front of him who not only had no trouble, but also wandered around here?
"luck?"
(^)
"Is it really just luck?"
()°
Anne was a little unhappy when she heard the big shit uncle behind her saying that she was just lucky, but she didn't bother to refute or explain, she just turned her head and gave him a meaningful look.
"Whatever, just think of it as luck!"
()
But soon, Anne took the initiative to ignore that topic.
Because, even if she does nothing, her luck has always been good. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, after thinking about it, she decided not to talk to him anymore, but continued to skip forward.
, I plan to take a look around this surprisingly big garden today, and I don’t know why it was built here.
After all, the environment here reminded her of Aunt Xu's house. The style was quite similar. Although, it might be countless times more grand and luxurious.
"??"
Looking at Annie's figure jumping forward, and thinking about the meaningful expression Annie gave him just now, Shi Qiang couldn't help but feel a little confused. He seemed to have caught something, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he hadn't?
"Hello--"
"Annie, what did you mean by that just now?"
"Is it possible that you avoided it on purpose?"
"That's impossible, right?"
So, he shook his head, then hurriedly followed and asked.
In Shi Qiang's opinion, in that thrilling assassination at that time, except for the fact that the ice cream fell on the ground, which may have been subjective and intentional by Annie, the rest was whether it was the explosion of the sniper rifle, avoiding falling objects from high altitude, or the slippery banana peel.
The shovel's perfect avoidance under the truck and the fact that the killer fell into the sewer were all coincidences. It was the little guy's good luck and there could be no other reasons.
Because they had simulated it and put themselves in their shoes, there was really no better explanation for that situation except for the incredible luck.
"Whoa-!"
()
Soon, Annie stopped in front of the garden and looked up at the sky with wide eyes.
It turns out that there is a small maple forest in this corner deep in the garden?
At this time, the tall maple trees were quietly blooming with maple leaves as fiery as maple fire, making this corner of the garden dye the sky and the earth into a bright red color. Coupled with the setting sun that was approaching dusk, it was a beautiful sight.
More beautiful!
When you come here and look around, you feel as if you are stepping on the most exquisite canvas of nature. The cool breeze in the mountains blows, and the maple leaves sway gently, making a rustling whisper, intertwined with the sound of gurgling water in the distance.
, melodious and peaceful.
Beside the path, fallen leaves paved a red carpet, which was the gentle touch of the tranquility of time.
Anyway, this maple forest not only decorates the autumn colors of the garden, but also adds a bit of poetry and romance, making people feel like they have stepped into a flowing ink painting. Even a rough guy like Shi Qiang, this
Whenever I see it, I can't help but be intoxicated by the fiery red gentleness and splendor.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"If I could live in a place like this all my life without the threat of Trisolarans, to be honest, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams..."
As he said this, Shi Qiang himself couldn't help but laugh at himself and shook his head.
Because he knew that if it weren't for the threat of the Three-Body Problem and if it weren't for the existence of this little alien named Annie, he might never know that there was such a place in the world, let alone come here and live there.
I have been enjoying it comfortably for so many days.
“But it’s still a little late now!”
"It's only late August now. Maple leaves are usually the reddest between September and November. By then, this place will surely be more beautiful, right?"
"Tsk!"
"This area is at least dozens of acres of maple forest, right?"
"This is just a peripheral corner of this garden. It's so damn corrupt and extravagant..."
While sighing with emotion, Shi Qiang couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take two photos of the surrounding scenery. However, thinking of his work and discipline, he hesitated, and finally had to smack his lips and shake his head.
He shook his head and put away his phone with regret.
"Hey-"
-
==()
However, Annie didn't think so much. At this time, she was already having fun and ran forward directly on the red carpet paved with fallen leaves.
"Annie?"
"The scenery just now was beautiful, wasn't it?"
Ten minutes later, until Annie happily left the maple forest, Shi Qiang, who had finally followed, asked seemingly casually:
"Right..."
"Are any of the plants in your Koprulu sector like the maple forest just now?"
"There must be none, right?"
Although it was a casual question, it was obvious that Shi Qiang was deliberately leading the conversation.
"The Koprulu sector is just a general term!"
(_)
"In fact, the Koprulu Sector encompasses the entire Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and many very large races and world groups in different universes and worlds!"
(`)
"Not to mention the forest just now, there are other messy plants. Everyone has seen plants that can light up and have thoughts and a soul world like a super computer!"
(゜▽^*)
Yes, Annie has seen a lot of beautiful scenery, animals, plants, aliens and so on, some of which are a hundred times more beautiful than that maple forest!
However, in most cases, she will not compare or dislike it, because in life, it is precisely because of the unknowns and surprises, big or small, the joys, sorrows, joys, and delicious food.
A variety of scenery makes it more interesting and vivid, and that is what motivates her to wander around.
"!!"
Hearing this, Shi Qiang's heart moved, and he realized that this seemed to be an opportunity to deeply understand the structure and certain things of the Koprulu sector:
"So magical, plants have souls?"
"Is the Koprulu sector still a very large race and world group that includes the entire Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and many different universes and worlds?"
"That……"
"How many races are there in your star sector?"
"What's the proportion of humans?"
Shi Qiang felt that it was necessary for him to ask this question carefully, especially if the answer he got inadvertently was perhaps the most true?
"Race?"
(.)
"Many, including humans, protoss, swarm, turian, asari, salari, quarian, krogan, hanar, drell, batari, vocha, waller, and eco
, Geth, Reaper, Prothean, etc..."
(||￢▽￢)
Speaking of reapers, Annie suddenly remembered something not very good, and then quickly shut up and ignored it.
"Anyway!"
()
"There are too many races to count, but the three-race council is still dominated by humans, protoss and insects..."
(`)~
"As for the proportion of humans..."
(﹏)
"Maybe only about one ten thousandth?"
()
Of course, the total number of humans in so many worlds is tens of trillions, maybe even more? However, compared to the insect swarm, there are so many alien races, so,
The one ten thousandth that Anne said may be an overestimation.
"!!"
"Only one ten thousandth?"
"How many races are there in your star alliance?"
"In that case, can humans still dominate?"
Shi Qiang had never expected this, so he couldn't help but exclaim.
"..."
(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~
“Aren’t the United Nations and the PDC dominated by a few countries?”
└(￣^￣)┐
With that said, Annie ignored the other party and continued to walk forward.
You know, these days, Annie has learned a lot about the earth, the United Nations, PDC and other organizations through the Internet.
"Ha ha!"
"Too……"
"If nothing else, the five major streams of the United Nations..."
"Well, the Wuchang was created with strength in the last world war. Even if other countries have more people, it is impossible for them to enter!"
While smiling to express his understanding, Shi Qiang remembered all the funny things that happened in the United Nations.
It is said that Ah San wanted to join several times, but the five permanent members of the five permanent members joined together to vote against it. In the end, even if the vote passed by chance, it was considered to be a problem with the voting machine and was rejected again. In the end, there was even a special incident of the five permanent members.
Legislation, directly block the application path?
Of course, the United Nations and the Five Permanent Members are in the past. Now is the era of crisis, the era of the Trisolaran threat and the PDC Planetary Defense Council.
"Let's go!"
"Let's continue walking forward..."
In this way, Shi Qiang continued to walk around the garden with Annie, and then taking advantage of Annie's good mood, he began to ask about the culture, political system, beliefs, etc. of the Koprulu Sector, and then he listened carefully.
, while secretly jotting down the information Annie casually said, I knew a little more about the Koprulu Sector.
Of course, Shi Qiang did not ask about the combat power of the star sector. After all, in his mind, it was a very large group of races and worlds that included the entire Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and many different universes and worlds.
With this level of existence, military power is definitely beyond his imagination.
Perhaps, as long as the star region sends one battleship, their earth and the three-body system will be completely destroyed, right?
Therefore, although he thought about it several times, Shi Qiang still resisted the idea of ​​asking Anne if it was possible to obtain military assistance from the sector through her. After all, that kind of thing was not something he should worry about. It was already a serious overstep of his authority.
In addition, in his opinion, Annie is just an ordinary little alien human girl in the star area. She may have come to their world and this earth by mischievously using some technological facilities that are countless years ahead of the earth. Therefore, he feels that
It's probably in vain to ask about that kind of thing?
In this situation, I'm afraid she won't be able to go back, right?
Besides, Shi Qiang felt that his superiors might not let her go back or let her get in touch with the star district?
Therefore, he really has no other choice now except to protect her and obtain as much information or technology from her as possible that can help the earth defeat Trisolaris.
"Uh huh huh~"
(｀)
At this moment, Anne obviously didn't know what the weird guy following her was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely sneer at him, right?
Because, her identity is not as simple as an ordinary little alien human girl from the star region who came to their earth by misusing some kind of technological facilities while being naughty. If she took the initiative to tell her identity,
It will definitely scare the shit out of them!
Furthermore, whether she wants to return to the star district or not, or whether she wants to get in touch with the star district, depends on her own mood, and it cannot be stopped by others' restrictions or unwillingness.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
soon!
The two chatted while walking. After leaving the maple forest and passing through a winding corridor, they both came to a viewing pavilion beside a quiet artificial lake.
"Wow--"
(ω)
"What a beautiful lake, what beautiful fish!"
(﹃)
Annie ran over and lay down on the guardrail of the pavilion. At a glance, she saw a small group of dragons swimming in the lake, which was so clear that it reflected the blue sky and white clouds, the surrounding pavilions and mountains and forests. It was like a beautiful picture scroll.
fish.
Their bodies are huge and elongated, their torsos are covered with large and neatly arranged shining scales, their mouths are large, and there are two tentacles at the corners of their mouths. They swim with a leisurely expression, just like the kind of 'dragon' in mythology.
The shape adds a bit of vividness and vitality to the painting.
"ha!"
"That's the dragon fish..."
"Pretty?"
"It is said that any one of them is worth a million, and here are dozens of them..."
"What an evil bureaucrat!"
Shi Qiang walked up to Annie and pointed to the lake. There was a bit of pride in his introduction tone, and he couldn't help but feel a bit indignant at the same time.
Because, he just made a rough estimate, the real and potential value of this garden is probably far beyond the limit of what he can imagine?
It's a pity that he didn't seem to grasp the focus of Anne's attention...
"Is it worth a million?"
(′ o′)
"That……"
()
"Are they delicious? Can they be eaten?"
(o▽)o
As a result, Anne became even more interested, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, with a sly arc on her lips, obviously she had made up her mind.
"ah!"
"I have no idea……"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can afford this kind of thing?"
When Shi Qiang heard this, he opened his mouth in shock, and then finally shook his head with a wry smile.
He obviously didn't expect that this little alien girl's mind would jump so quickly, from appreciating the beautiful scenery to jumping directly to delicious food?
However, he pretended to be serious and thought about it, and then answered seriously:
"but……"
"I have heard that before this fish was introduced into the country and used as an ornamental fish, it was an edible fish. The meat was relatively delicate, delicious, and had high nutritional value?"
But Shi Qiang definitely doesn't know the details, because he has never eaten it, and his salary really can't afford it!
Anyway, he couldn't afford even one of the group of mighty, domineering and luxurious arowanas in front of him!
“As long as you can eat it!”
╭()
When she heard that she could eat it, which she didn't say, Anne couldn't wait to cheer.
"quick!"
(_)
"Uncle Shi, let someone catch two of them. Let's eat arowana tonight!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
Then, she immediately signaled Uncle Shit to move quickly and asked someone to bring him a net bag.
Because, today she must teach those arowanas who are not afraid when seeing people, but dare to swim over and open their mouths to beg for food, to know the dangers of human society!
"this……"
Shi Qiang wanted to say that these arowanas were priceless treasures and were meant for viewing. Just one of them could cost him several years of salary, not for eating.
But...
Shi Qiang, who thought of a certain order, hesitated for a while and finally became determined. Then he picked up the walkie-talkie, gritted his teeth and gave the order to the other end with a grin:
"Dongguai! Dongguai!"
"I am Dong Yao!"
"Have someone find a net bag, we are at the artificial lake now!"
"whispering sound!"
"You ask me what I'm doing with my net bag?"
"Of course it's fishing!"
"That's right!"
"Just to catch those arowanas in the lake..."
"Stop it!"
"Of course I know they are expensive, but if our little Annie wants to eat them, just tell us whether you want to give them to her or not, right?"
"Um……"
"Hurry up!"
"Remember to ask the chefs in the back kitchen to think about what to do now..."
"What?"
"You know without asking that they definitely haven't done it?"
"Isn't this just a fish?"
"If we haven't done it yet, let's catch a few more later and let them cook it in a different way. It can be steamed, braised, braised or fried. There will always be a delicious way!"
"Ugh!"
"That's it, you move faster!"
