Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Zheng Rong lost his temper in the office.

A week has passed, and Secretary Lin still hasn't been able to find the source of the Zero Universe document, and he always says "it's coming soon." In his opinion, this is perfunctory and incompetent. After scolding Secretary Lin, Zheng Rong sat alone by the window, looking at the gorgeous projection of the universe in the distance, and thought darkly:

"Hmph, if it weren't for that old guy's sake, could I let you stay by my side?"

He knew countless ways to make a person disappear completely, but he couldn't do this to Secretary Lin. Standing behind Secretary Lin were the factions that had elected him to power in the first place. Although things have gone up and down over the years, he, as the prime minister, has long been feeding those cannibals, but after all, externally, he still needs some false reputations to strengthen his momentum, so as to prevent people from always finding faults to oppose him and oust him from office.

"Put me through Xiaoliu, private call."

The AI ​​assistant quickly contacted the person he was looking for.

Xiaoliu received Zheng Rong's message, thought about it, lowered his head and typed out a few words to send it back. He is currently at the home of the Minister of Transportation on the Administrative Star 2, so it is not convenient for someone to monitor information that should not be there.

Zheng Rong's patience with Secretary Lin is negative, but he is not impatient with Xiao Liu. He waited for ten minutes before Xiaoliu called back.

"Busy working?"

"Yes... I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long." Xiao Liu answered a little cautiously - Zheng Rong never greeted him. What happened? Or is there another life-threatening mission?

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Rong said two words and then paused.

The encrypted call showed that the image was not his own. From Zheng Rong's tone, Xiaoliu couldn't tell what the other party was feeling, so he tried to answer: "Do you have anything for me to do?"

Zheng Rong originally wanted to assign him to go to the Space Exploration Command Center, but after thinking about it, he decided to confirm again in person. Xiao Liu, who had always performed well, had a feel for him.

"Come to my place." He said solemnly, "Before tomorrow, I have an important task for you. Once it is completed, I will take you home."

Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean..."

Zheng Rong smiled: "Isn't it just for this day that you sacrificed your life for me?"

"I understand." Xiao Liu suppressed the excitement in his heart, "I'll be there tonight."

As soon as the service at the Minister of Transportation's house was over, Xiaoliu didn't stay for a meal. After packing up, he left slowly. He first went back to the light bath center to check in, so that the people in the organization thought he had gone back and asked for leave from the light bath center. , and after a few trips, we went from an inconspicuous waste disposal star to the capital.

The transition from a garbage dump to a star of human civilization has always been something he loved to watch. But today he had no intention of watching the scenery. Zheng Rong's promise could be fulfilled so quickly. Obviously, what he was going to do this time was very dangerous. He rubbed his face, wiped away the images of his hometown from his mind, and calmly adjusted his state.

Although she looks young, this is all due to highly developed beauty technology. Xiao Liu's own age is probably about the same as Zheng Rong's. When he escaped from the sterile place of his home planet to the capital planet, he was picked up as a minor due to long-term malnutrition. The gene was only discovered after a physical test.

He thought he was going to be kicked away again, but he didn't expect that person to perform an operation on him and treat him as a minor, which he has been doing until now.

Zheng Rong promised to send him home, which meant that he could get rid of this organization full of hired spies. Just thinking about it made Xiaoliu feel extremely free.

Buzz-buzz-

Not knowing who was contacting him at this time, Xiao Liu frowned slightly. For a moment, he didn't want to respond, but wanted to wait for the other party to hang up.

But he finally agreed.

"Hey?"

"Liu'er, have you been busy lately?"

On the other end of the earphone was the voice of his third brother. The two had previously collaborated on information theft against Secretary Lin.

"There's something wrong." - Don't look for me. "Hey, it's not that I want to disturb you. I really need your help with this order at hand. What do you mean, Liu'er, can you go to the outpost tomorrow?"

Outpost?

That is the code name of the Unknown Star Territory Exploration Command Center in some places. They believe that this place is not only a scientific research institution, but also secretly responsible for maintaining the security of the universe.

Xiaoliu didn't say much, just said that he was not free.

"Well... Then the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, just help me. After this time, I won't do it."

"Where are you going?"

"I can't tell you, but hey..." The third brother looked a little cheerful, "Anyway, it's my dream come true. What do you think, can you help me?"

Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed.

Although the people in the organization are not friendly to each other and are even wary of each other, he and Third Brother have cooperated a lot and helped each other. There is always a bit of familiarity, and the other party rarely shows such a happy expression... Xiaoliu can't help it. Say no directly.

The signal gradually began to blur, and Xiao Liu sighed: "Third brother, we are about to arrive at the jump zone. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"

"...Okay, as soon as possible. I'll wait for you until five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Before Xiaoliu could reply, the communication was cut off. The jump began to accelerate, and the warning lights came on in the public spacecraft. After a slight feeling of dissociation, the brilliant capital galaxy stars appeared in front of them.

Well, it's not that brilliant, it's just a little bright disk. It was still half an hour away from Capital Star. Xiao Liu looked out the window, vaguely looking forward to this meeting.

Zheng Rong sent a humble civilian spaceship to take Xiao Liu to his private restaurant. Xiaoliu was not polite to him and ate a big meal. Zheng Rong was very interested in the way he devoured it. He usually only ate nutritious meals and gnawed two bones.

"The food here is still delicious." Xiao Liu wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Zheng Rong smiled and asked the housekeeper to remove everything. Once the doors and windows are closed and the lights are turned on, this private dining room becomes a spacious and private reception room.

"If you like to eat, you can come here often."

"After I finish what I need to do, I'm naturally willing to come to your place."

"That's great. By the way, take a look at this," Zheng Rong opened a report and pushed it in front of Xiao Liu. When I saw the title, Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat——

What is "promoting the improvement of low-level planetary resource categories"? Why is the schematic diagram his home planet?

"Don't be in a hurry, read slowly."

Zheng Rong leaned on the chair and put his hands together.

Xiaoliu frowned and read the entire report: "Hasn't this matter been rejected before? Low-level planets have their own ecology and development. You also said before that you should not encourage others..."

"I said it, but I can't help it." Zheng Rong spread his hands, "Those people are eyeing my position and can only use this method to canvass votes for themselves."

"Then the task you gave me this time is...?" Xiaoliu felt something in his heart.

Zheng Rong smiled and said: "Go home and let your compatriots speak in the interstellar parliament."
