Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Ok?"

"that."

She looked back and whispered, "Could I stay here for the night and leave when it's safe outside?"

"..."

Uh.

Is it safe for me here?

Or does she have Stockholm syndrome?

An Ran was a little confused.

She said coldly, "If you're not afraid, then stay for one night, but I'm moving to another place tonight."

“No problem!” Cornelia quickly waved her hand.

"Oh, then find somewhere to sleep yourself. You're not allowed in the workshop or the driver's cab."

Anran gave instructions, and of course she also instructed the robot to watch over Cornelia.

“Mmm,” Cornelia replied softly.

An Ran had already decided to leave; she planned to fly directly to the city near where the mechanic Yin Shengping was located. Suspecting that Cornelia might have some kind of special tracking device, An Ran had secretly scanned her, but found nothing.

As the spaceship slowly lifted off from the edge of the city and flew away, Anran saw the state of the city after the attack from inside the spaceship.

There was chaos, and although the police were trying to maintain order, it seemed unlikely that things would return to normal in the short term.

There are probably even more dark secrets lurking in the corners.

So this is ah.

……

Inside the Time Energy Tower.

The garrison commander is on the phone with Fitch.

After he carefully reported the current situation, he was unsurprisingly berated by Fitch.

"The support troops are already on their way. Let's hand over the reins to the captain in a bit," Fitch said in a very calm tone at the end.

"Yes."

Where Fitch couldn't see, the garrison commander's hands were clenched into fists.

After the handover, will those stationed at the Time Energy Tower have a good ending?

Of course not.

"Sir." A man sitting at the next table stood up shakily.

"Is it finished?"

This question was asked by Fitch.

"Drawing is finished..."

Fitch snapped, "If you're done drawing, bring it here."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The person quickly ran over and held up a painting to the camera.

It depicts Anran, Ella, and the unconscious Maggie.

Fitch glanced at it and slapped the teapot in front of him away: "You bunch of bastards, all useless! Save the hell out of here! This is clearly the criminal who kidnapped Maggie, and you actually put her in the Time Energy Tower..."

Enraged, Fitch ranted for ten minutes straight, finally saying with red eyes, "Very well, very well. I look forward to seeing you again."

He hung up the call abruptly.

The image disappeared, and staring at the empty wall, the garrison officer clenched his teeth, his face pale.

"Sir, sir," the painter cried, his face contorted with despair. "Are we going to die? The governor...!"

"I'll probably die."

The garrison commander let out a sigh, a sound of powerlessness, anger, and helplessness.

But the anger wasn't directed at An Ran. Fitch's insults were harsh, but he still had his own judgment. If An Ran hadn't barged in and fired the anti-aircraft gun, the Time Energy Tower would have been destroyed, and they wouldn't be standing here anymore.

According to Fitch, Enron is a member of the Night Owl rebels.

In comparison, although the rebels caused a great deal of trouble, they ultimately saved their lives, while their superiors wanted to kill them indiscriminately.

Oh.

"Sir! Someone outside wants to see you!" a subordinate reported at the door.

"who is it?"

He said he would only tell you after seeing you.

The garrison commander pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a guess in his mind: "Let him in."

……

Late at night, on a spaceship near Minglan Star, the people who had contributed to the daytime attack on the two Time Energy Towers gathered for a meeting.

"According to the urgent message, the garrison commander of Tower 2 of the Time Energy Tower has decided to defect to the rebels."

Upon hearing this, the people sitting around the room immediately became excited.

"Our governor has been a great help to us, haha."

"This will allow the subsequent plans to be executed more smoothly."

"We're just waiting for the Sixth Expeditionary Force to fall into the trap over at the mine."

The person at the head of the table gestured for everyone to be quiet: "The main force is fighting desperately, and we can't let our guard down either. If we succeed, we will save the lives of millions of people!"

"Victory is certain!" *N

"Speaking of which, there's something quite interesting. According to the garrison officer, when Sky Mountain was about to fall, two girls lied and claimed to be people sent by Fitch to rescue Maggie..."

As he spoke, he showed the painting to everyone.

"Ah!" Anderson recognized them at a glance. "It's An Ran and her sister!"

His mind suddenly clicked: "Now I remember, the aircraft that crashed seems to be the one that Anran had been working on before."

Ok?

The people at the meeting immediately became interested.

Anran heard about this discussion from Nadia the following morning.

After his promotion, he was fortunate enough to participate in the meeting. An unexpected coincidence made An Ran finally understand how the increased reputation was generated. It turned out that it was not just a meaningless numerical value.

A somewhat coincidental accident made An Ran's reputation among Night Owl agents rise even higher and make her seem even more mysterious.

The "cooperation" made everyone happy. Although no further information was revealed, Anran vaguely guessed that they were taking action around Fitch.

Something big might happen soon.

After reviewing the battle reports from the front lines, it was learned that the Sixth Expeditionary Force, after resting, headed straight for the Hailan Forest and Guangye Mining Area, and there was no other news from them.

Everything seemed calm, yet it was not calm at all.

At least, when An Ran arrived in Ping An City, it was not a peaceful place.

The Skyhill terror attack left citizens feeling uneasy, and the usually quiet machinery and equipment shops looked even more desolate.

Master Yin here likes money.

In this respect, he and An Ran are similar.

Anran walked into the store.

"Hello." The man, who appeared to be the store manager, walked up with a smile.

Chapter 60 Forward, Aquamarine Star

This store looks unusual from the outside.

The decoration is understated, but the items displayed in the glass window are either small and exquisite or large and full of the masculine energy of metal.

There were some small things that Anran had never seen before and didn't understand their purpose.

After the man who appeared to be the store manager came over, An Ran shifted her attention to him.

He was a middle-aged man with a refined-looking mustache.

"Hello, are you looking to buy something or have something customized?" he asked with a smile.

Her voice was also like a gentle breeze.

It's the kind of thing that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" An Ran asked directly, not intending to waste any time.

After learning from Maggie that Yin Shengping, despite his superb skills, was very fond of money, she decided not to resort to any tricks.

Ordinary mechanics don't easily sell their blueprints, but Yin Shengping is no ordinary person.

Instead of racking your brains to come up with some tricks to deal with this kind of extraordinary person, it's better to be direct—

Focus on making money!

Therefore, after a brief conversation, upon learning that An Ran was a mechanic and that his purpose was to buy blueprints from him, Yin Shengping did not show any strange expression.

“Come with me,” he said.

Despite doubting whether Anran could afford the money, Yin Shengping remained very hospitable to his guests.

It's on the second floor.

"These are just ordinary blueprints."

Yin Shengping swipes his hands, and a large number of neatly categorized drawings pop up on the unfolded panel.

However, each drawing only shows a small part, including the name, the beginning, the function description, and the price.
