"Are you so anxious?"

Celis showed a surprised look, and calmly put away the recruitment letter to Luo Xue.

"It may be difficult to reach No. 132 via the suspended tower route. No. 103 needs to dock on the ground for at least five months. After all, once it sets sail, it will sail non-stop for thirty years."

"Is there no other way?" Luo Xue pondered for a moment and asked, "For example...directly go to the 132nd Suspension Tower through the Endless Wasteland?"

"It's probably difficult to do it with your strength alone. Even if you can travel across the endless wasteland, you can't reach the suspended tower." Celis shook her head and said lightly.

"The suspended tower will not stop on the ground during navigation, but will remain about 5,000 meters above the ground - can you reach this height?"

Only when this distance is reached, the various natural disasters on the ground will not affect the suspended tower. Instead, the suspended tower can draw energy from these natural disasters to enable the tower to navigate and protect the lives of the tower residents.

The reason why the suspended tower maintains uninterrupted navigation is to draw energy from different places to prevent the engine from stalling.

The suspended tower is not a perpetual motion machine. Its engine technology comes from the magnificent ancient civilization. It is a great creation capable of exploring deep space.

It’s a pity that human civilization has only produced more than 300 high tower engines, and will not be able to produce more. There are only more than 300 suspended towers, which cannot accommodate more tower residents.

You know, for the natural disasters that occur frequently in this land, the energy absorbed by more than 300 suspended high-tower engines is not even one thousandth of it.

"..."

After hearing what Celis said, Luo Xue was silent for a while, rubbed her temples, and sighed,

"For now... I can't do that."

Although she was at the foundation-building stage, she had learned very little about the magical powers and techniques, and she also did not know the sword-controlling technique that the Juexiao Sect was most proud of.

Besides, ordinary sword-flying techniques can only allow one to fly at a height of several hundred meters at most. Flying a sword up to five kilometers can probably only be done by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Actually, there is another way."

Celis raised her lips slightly, took out a business card and placed it on Luo Xue's desk. "Join the FBI, and you will have the authority to carry out federal special missions and be able to travel freely between the various suspended towers."

"If we don't connect... how can we get through?"

Luo Xue took the business card hesitantly. On it was written Celis's position and name. The blonde woman's smile was warm and gentle.

"The aircraft is equipped with a small high-tower engine. However, it does not have the function of converting natural disasters directly into energy. It can only store the energy converted from natural disasters."

Celis introduced it to Luo Xue like a salesperson, and took out a brick-like device with pixelated photos of aircraft on it.

"The aircraft is capable of flying at an altitude of 5,000 meters, but the pilot needs to be strong. After all, the protection of manned aircraft has never been ideal."

"cell phone?"

Luo Xue looked at the device in Celis's hand curiously. She didn't expect that the size of this phone was even bigger than the big brother in her previous life, almost the size of a brick.

"What do you mean by...cell phone? You mean this?"

Celis patted the "brick" and said, "This is a miniaturized digital terminal. Haha... Isn't it amazing? Only our No. 103 Suspension Tower can manufacture it. It has not yet been mass-produced."

“Great, great…”

Luo Xue continued to flatter him perfunctorily.

She had seen mosaic TVs in ground docking devices before, and the brick phone was no exception.

It has to be said that the post-apocalyptic world has hardly any technology trees related to people's livelihood and entertainment. Almost all technology points are focused on the energy and material systems, and the use of energy and materials far exceeds that of previous lives.

Oh, and there are also living creatures. After all, people with special abilities are a specialty of this world.

“How are you thinking about it?” Celis blinked, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes. “According to the rules, I should first invite you to join the 103rd Suspension Tower, but judging from your appearance, you probably won’t be interested, so I guess it’s useless to ask.”

As soon as she got the file, Luo Xue asked for directions to the 132nd suspended tower without any reluctance, and Celis didn't fail to read her expression.

"Indeed, if you can help me get to 132, I can join the FBI."

Luo Xue nodded and said, "But let me make it clear first... I actually only have strength, and the rest may be some instinctive perception abilities... I don't have many strange abilities."

Luo Xue knew that these psychics were far superior to cultivators of the same level in some aspects, and they possessed many incredible abilities, and could even use the power of laws at a low level.

Although it was only used roughly, it was enough to crush many cultivators of the same level.

"A pure combatant? Oh... the FBI is not short of people with such abilities, but don't worry, I will try my best to negotiate a good price for you... a good salary." Celis coughed twice awkwardly.

"...I am still a minor, and trafficking in minors is a crime!" Luo Xue twitched her lips.

"Minor? Oh my god, you are not yet twelve years old?" Celis exclaimed, "If you are not twelve years old, it is considered child labor! Federal law stipulates that you cannot..."

"Wait, in this case, I am already an adult." Luo Xue silently restrained her expression, "This year I am twelve years old... or thirteen years old."

I didn't expect that the age of adulthood here is not 18, but 12...

It makes sense. The population in the post-apocalyptic world is not that large to begin with, and coupled with the labor shortage, of course the adult limit would be lowered as much as possible.

"Huh, you scared me. Being under the age of twelve is a problem. A while ago, the 132nd Suspension Tower was punished by the Federation for employing a nine-year-old with special abilities."

Celis patted her chest and pinched Luo Xue's arm curiously.

"But I didn't expect, Miss Guijiao, that you, who look delicate and skinny, would actually be a strong warrior. I had the impression that all the ability users of this branch were muscular men... Of course, I'm not saying that you will become that kind of person when you grow up."

After confirming that Luo Xue intended to join the FBI, Celis' tone became much more relaxed, and compared to the respectfulness when they just met, it was a little more intimate.

"It's the same as physical training... Oh no, it seems that not all physical trainings are like this."

Luo Xue scratched her cheek. She thought of Nangong Mengxiang. Although she was a top-level physical cultivator, her figure was indeed a soft and graceful type without many strong muscles. This was exactly what Luo Xue dreamed of her looking like when she grew up.

But... judging from Luo Xue's current development curve, it's a bit difficult.

"Hmm? What does physical cultivation mean?" Celis was a little confused by Luo Xue's mumbling, but soon put it out of her mind. "By the way, since you are interested in the 132nd Suspension Tower, I know a little about it, so I will tell you about it."

"Appreciate further details."

Luo Xue's expression became much more serious.

Since the previous assassin was from Suspended Tower No. 132, the order to kill her should have come from inside the tower.

Celis's information will be of great help to Luo Xue in finding Ling Ling's whereabouts.

"The famous 'Lingxi Potion' originated from the laboratory of the No. 132 Suspended Tower. It was an unexpected product of the research project proposed and implemented by Dr. Lingxi. After many experiments, it became a stable potion and began large-scale mass production.

"The No. 132 Suspended Tower has monopolized the production of all 'Spiritual Potion'. All the tower dwellers in the Federation, as well as some wasteland dwellers, hope to obtain the Spiritual Potion, awaken to become a person with special abilities, and thus embark on a different life.

"For the Federation, mass production of people with special abilities is also something that people like to see. Many facilities inside the tower are driven by people with special abilities. Without the corresponding people with special abilities, they will be abandoned. After all, a large part of the technology of the previous civilization has been lost, and the missing parts can only be made up with this clumsy method.

“But…not long after, something went wrong with the Lingxi potion.

"In the 'Lingxi Laboratory' incident, in the third month after Lingxi Potion was mass-produced, the first batch of mutants began to appear. Afterwards, all the people who used Lingxi Potion to awaken their abilities died of frenzy and mutation without exception. There were no survivors."

Celis retrieved the information about Lingxi from the digital terminal and placed it in front of Luo Xue.

This is a photo of a middle-aged man with a stern expression. He looks more like an old cadre than a researcher.

"Dr. Lingxi committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and completely burned down his laboratory, including all the data and experimental products. The subsequent research and development of Lingxi medicine has come to an end, and the medicine circulating on the market is this defective medicine." Celis sighed and continued,

"It is said that Dr. Lingxi has developed a sufficiently stable drug. In order to prove the feasibility of the drug, he injected it into his newly born daughter. Unfortunately, this is just a rumor. No one has found the legendary daughter of Lingxi yet."

When Celis finished telling the story, Luo Xue also let out a long sigh.

Just like monks, people with special abilities need certain qualifications. If they don’t have the qualifications and want to obtain them through other means, the price will be very heavy.

At least the Lingxi potion can allow ordinary people to have a brief period of special abilities, but for ordinary people to practice Taoism... it is almost impossible.

Even if you practice martial arts for your entire life, you can only reach the innate level, which is at most equivalent to a person with second or third level abilities. It will take decades of hard work before there will be any effect.

"Stories that end in tragedy are always impressive." Luo Xue said softly, "When can we set off for the 132nd Suspension Tower?"

"Don't be so anxious. Let me find a mission first." Celis smiled and took out a digital terminal to check. "Let me see... Hey, the 132nd Suspended Tower has rebuilt a laboratory? They are still recruiting people with special abilities."

"I'll go and apply for the job?" Luo Xue blinked.

"How is that possible? You are already an FBI agent, how could you possibly go somewhere else? The FBI doesn't allow part-time jobs."

Celis typed on the digital terminal without looking up and said,

"However, the plan to restart the laboratory project in the suspended tower No. 132 is against regulations. The FBI wants to intervene in the investigation. In fact, it is just a formality. The old foxes must have been prepared to deal with the investigation."

Celis had no doubt at all about whether Luo Xue could join the FBI.

Who would reject a twelve-year-old genius?

Although he is a common warrior type ability user, he is still quite useful if his level is high enough. At least thermal weapons have little effect on warriors above level five.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Xue leaned over to take a look.

"Apply for this mission at the FBI headquarters, and I'll take you there." Celis quickly finalized all the information, raised her head and smiled, "Miss Guijiao, you don't dislike me, do you?"

"certainly...."

Luo Xue nodded.

To be fair, Celis is like an intellectual older sister, the type who will help you get things done while chatting with you in a relaxed manner.

"Don't be too serious. It's just an unimportant mission. The higher-ups don't take it seriously. Just treat it as a trip."

Celis squatted down slightly and pinched Luo Xue's cheek.

"Don't always have such a stern face. You look young, but you actually look older than me."

Luo Xue forced a smile, but she was worried now, so her smile looked a little ugly.

"Once I have completed your formalities, we will go to the 132nd Suspension Tower to carry out the mission."

"Okay, then... I'll trouble you, Miss Celis."

......

"Little Doctor, how's the progress?"

The man asked kindly, sitting in a wheelchair.

"The third potion... completion rate, 80 percent..."

The young little girl, wearing a funny looking white coat, lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't be so reserved. You've been here for more than two years." The man chuckled and nodded approvingly at the research report on the drug. "Not bad, little doctor. Compared to your father, you're not much worse.

"It seems... hehe, the things he left for you are indeed very useful."

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

It seems that everyone doesn't like the plot of the post-apocalyptic world? Cat actually made a very complete world view and story line... But I can't subscribe anymore, so I'll finish this plot as soon as possible...

Chapter 135: "Lingxi's remains" and Lingling, the truth of the accident in the wilderness

The girl called "Little Doctor" just lowered her head and looked at the corner of her clothes, with an expression of undisguised depression on her young face.

Seeing this, the man stopped talking and signaled the people next to him to push his wheelchair and leave the laboratory.

Only after walking out of the laboratory did the man look back at the girl in the laboratory, narrowed his eyes, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth turned a little colder.

Then, the laboratory door slowly closed, leaving only a few busy machines and the lonely figure of the girl.

"Master Gao Tong... her adaptability to the 'Lingxi Remains' is indeed the best, but her cooperation is the worst. If this continues... it is hard to say how the research and development of the new medicine will progress." The person next to him whispered.

"Just think of a way to improve the level of cooperation," the man known as "Qualcomm" said calmly, "She just wants some companions of her own age. There are plenty of experimental subjects. Let a few of them play with her."

"Why not let Ms. Liu Sisi..."

The subordinate winked at him and said that the Liu Sisi he was talking about was a member of the 132nd Suspended Tower Special Operations Team. She had the ability of a prophet and could control other people's nervous systems.

In other words, anyone hit by her ability will temporarily become her puppet and be at her mercy.

"If we do this, her adaptability to the 'Lingxi Corpse' will be at its lowest... We only have one 'Lingxi Corpse'. If it's broken, can you get me another one?"

Gao Tong's sharp gaze fell on his subordinates' faces. Although his tone was quite calm, his subordinates still broke out in cold sweats.

"Yes...I spoke too much, Lord Gaotong."

"Lingxi... since you don't want to continue the cooperation, don't blame me for using your daughter to cooperate." Gao Tong tapped the armrest of the wheelchair lightly, his face thoughtful. "By the way, how is the matter with Night Owl?"

"Not found yet."

The subordinate shook his head and said.

"It's been two years. The No. 132 Suspension Tower is such a small place. Two years is enough time to turn it upside down." Gao Tong said slowly.

"But...is it possible, Lord Gaotong, that he has already left the suspended tower..." the subordinate hesitated for a moment and asked.

"How do we leave? Space jump? Or fly out?"

Gao Tong sneered and said, "All aircraft are under control and have not been moved for two years. I even applied to the Federation to postpone the date of ground docking just to find this traitor.
