In the distance, the mountains, fields, countryside and scattered houses on the edge of an unknown city or town become soft and warm in outline under the setting sun, like a warm oil painting.

"call--"

Shi Qiang exhaled a puff of smoke again and sat directly on the front of the car, preparing to take advantage of this rare and beautiful scenery to rest and relax for a while.

"Annie..."

"Don't go too far. It's not absolutely safe here. It's better to be careful!"

"The remnants of ETO have been very active recently."

Then, after taking a few puffs, he found that the place where Annie was could be seen by people outside the military restricted area in the distance. Shi Qiang thought about it and felt that there seemed to be a security loophole, so he simply shouted.

"oops!"

(||￢▽￢)

"Uncle Shi, don't worry!"

()

"I know better than anyone that I will never be assassinated!"

()

Hearing the other party's gibbering, Annie turned her head angrily and gave the other party a roll of her eyes, and then started playing on her own.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"call--"

"I hope..."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Shi Qiang thought for a while and didn't force it, but continued to sit at the front of the car and smoke his cigarette.

Although, this place has reached the edge of the military zone, but thinking about the fact that I and a whole professional team are there, and considering that this is a military restricted area, it is impossible for outsiders to come in, and even if they break in by force or sneak in, they will definitely be discovered by the army.

He quickly suppressed his uneasiness for the time being and continued to take the opportunity to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"Right!"

"Annie, what technology does your sector have that can deal with the Trisolarans?"

"Tell me about it?"

After waiting for a while, Shi Qiang, who felt a little bored, thought about it, and then simply asked about something that he had asked Annie in the past few days, but did not get a definite answer.

"Huh?"

|o`)

"Didn't I say before that mass effect is enough to help you deal with the Trisolarans, didn't you know?"

(^)

"Didn't the old man tell you?"

(óò)

The old man Annie was talking about was naturally the Uncle Chang who she talked to on the first day she came here, because she had already told him certain situations at that time.

You must know that mass effect is a system, which is enough to support a civilization into the cosmic era, and it is also the simplest and easiest. From smelting to synthesis, from weapons to shields, from civilian to military use, from ordinary acceleration to super-light speed

It has all kinds of applications, so Anne brought it up in the first place and successfully attracted Tomoko's hatred.

"I really don't know this..."

"but….."

"Since my superiors don't want me to know, then you might as well stop telling me."

Shi Qiang was obviously the kind of person who knew what he should know and what he shouldn't know. He thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.

"It doesn't matter!"

(－ｏ⌒)

"They only gave a rough idea at the time, but they didn't know the details!"

()hey-hey

In fact, it was because the details were too troublesome and Anne didn't want to talk about it.

After all, that is a complete set of scientific systems that can support a civilization or even the entire Mass Effect world. If it were all told and turned into a book, it would be enough to fill a very large library or even

It’s all more than that!

So, how could she get it all at once?

And if you use a storage tool, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for Sophon. By the time the people on earth don't fully understand it, Sophon will be sent back first to let the Trisolarans realize it first.

"I don't care!"

"Don't tell me important things..."

Waving his hand and looking at the half-empty cigarette in his hand, Shi Qiang continued to smoke, not intending to interfere in something that a small person like him could not interfere with.

Of course, although he didn't want to deal with technological matters, he still wanted to know more about other aspects, such as the humanities or other situations in the sector.

then!

He took this opportunity to smoke his cigarette and chat with Anne who was not far away.

However……

Just then!

About a kilometer away, just a few hundred meters outside the barbed wire fence of the military restricted area, a female rider in tight clothes, with a good face, who looked to be in her twenties, was lying on her hands and knees on a roadside.

In the grass on the uphill slope, he was holding a sniper rifle that looked like an L115A3 in his hand, and then slowly adjusted the scope to point at a sea of ​​flowers halfway up the mountain in the distance.

Her motorcycle was parked on the roadside on the downhill slope in front of her. Only the occasional passing car drivers and passengers glanced at it curiously, subconsciously thinking that the owner of the motorcycle parked the motorcycle in such an inaccessible place.

He must have just gone to a hidden place to solve the problem of defecation, so no one made a fuss or stopped the car to check or anything.

"receive!"

"The target has been seen and the mission is guaranteed to be completed!"

Then, at this moment, when she successfully accepted a certain piece of information and saw a certain target person in the sniper scope, she immediately clicked on a certain instrument, and then continued to operate it while talking.

"Don't worry!"

"I'm a professional. I personally select and assemble the firearms and ammunition. There's no way I can blow up the chamber and kill myself!"

"Do you think I'll be that kind of trash?"

While operating, the female motorcycle rider, or rather the female sniper, did not forget to tease someone on the device who was talking to her.

It could be heard that she had obviously known about the failure of the previous assassination and the fact that a certain unlucky sniper had killed her.

"Okay!"

At this time, the female motorcyclist had already taken aim.

"I'm going to shoot!"

"Get the vehicle ready. I will arrive at the evacuation point in three minutes..."

So, while she was talking, she finally calculated the wind direction and force, and then took advantage of the opportunity when the target girl in the scope squatted down to pick flowers and might not move for several seconds, and instantly pulled the trigger.

Bang——!

As a muffled sound sounded that was not too noticeable in this open environment, the female motorcycle rider instantly laughed.

Feeling that she would definitely hit, she prepared to wait for two seconds to watch the young life bloom like a flower, then pack up her things and run down the mountain, start her motorcycle and run away, heading for the third destination three minutes away.

An extraction point and change vehicles to leave.

After all, at a distance of more than a thousand meters, the average speed of bullets is only six to seven hundred meters per second, so it still takes about two seconds from shooting to hitting the target.

Otherwise!

What she never expected was...

Just when she was waiting and seeing that the bullet was about to fly to its destination and about to hit, the target suddenly turned its head away unexpectedly?

"Uncle Shi, do you want a wreath?

*(*)*

Yes, at this critical moment, a certain naughty little girl suddenly turned her head, and then at the moment she raised the colorful wildflowers in her hand and asked Shi Qiang, there seemed to be something, like flying.

The insect-like existence flew past her right ear at high speed in an instant, and even flicked her hair?

"Eh?

(.`)

Anne obviously felt the sound of something flying past her ears, and then she couldn't help but turned her head to look at it curiously and scratched her head, with a confused look on her face.
