"Actually, what Lin Xuan said was similar to what my father told me before he passed away!"

Ban Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat) sighed softly and continued, "That's what he said too, that if we let Queen Town develop like this, it would devour us, eliminate us, and enslave us sooner or later! Because the gap in technology between the two sides is too great, and there has been no communication for so many years, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, it will become impossible to communicate, impossible to understand, and impossible to get along, just like humans and animals. It's impossible to coexist peacefully!" Everyone knows that my father's idea was to develop our own strength to resist Queen Town as soon as possible! That's why he was so obsessed with knowledge, so obsessed with opening the safe!"

"All along, we have hoped that the safe can help us change the status quo!"

"But just now Lin Xuan helped me open the safe. There's nothing inside except a tattered book! Moreover, the most knowledgeable person in our village, Lin Xuan, also said that the technology on the notebook is too advanced and cannot be realized in this era!"

"So now it can be confirmed that my father's plan has completely failed! But the technological development of Queen Town will not stop. In other words, if we continue to hunt, raise pigs, and deceive ourselves like this, the ending will inevitably be tragic and doomed!"

He picked up the bamboo slip wine cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, grinding his teeth and saying, "Now I am the village chief of Lian Village, and I must be responsible to the folks. Compared to waiting for Queen Town to attack and we are helpless and unable to resist, I think Lin Xuan is right. We can't sit still and wait for death any longer. We really must take the initiative to attack!" But Lian Village has always been a democracy, so let's follow the old rules and have a vote."

Finally!

It was time for the exciting voting moment again.

Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat) never participated in the voting. Those who had the right to vote were A Zhuang, Er Zhu Zi, San Pang, and Lin Xuan and Ya Tou!

A Zhuang took the lead in expressing his opposition: "It's too risky, I don't agree! Besides, we can't even open the safe in Queen Town, so what are the odds that we can open it even if we go?"

Lin Xuan spread his hands: "Didn't I open the safe in our Lian Village in one go? As long as we have the opportunity to see the safe, I can think of many ways to find out the password! So I vote yes!"

San Pang then shook his head and said a compound word based on one-tenth of his brain capacity: "I don't think it's going to work!"

Right now!

The voting ratio was 1:2!

Everyone's eyes turned to Er Zhu Zi! Obviously, he was an anti-war faction!

He would never vote yes!

Sure enough!

Er Zhu Zi coughed lightly, "Lin Xuan, old brother, I personally support you in my heart, but... I have to consider leaving a descendant for your Lin family, right? What if something really happens to you! I can't explain it to the ancestors. After thinking about it, I'll stay in the village with my sister-in-law to provide logistical support!"

"Yeah, I'm going too!"

Er Zhu Zi seemed to have misunderstood something. He blinked and tilted his head, saying, "Of course, I'm going with Lin Xuan! I can't just hide behind while my husband is taking risks in front, can I? A married chicken follows the chicken, a married dog follows the dog, so wherever Lin Xuan goes, I will go. Since I also have the right to vote, I definitely have the same attitude as Lin Xuan, I agree, I want to go too."

"What if it's dangerous? There's no difference between chronic death and sitting around waiting to die, so we might as well fight for a hope of victory! Even if we die in Queen Town, it doesn't matter!"

Ya Tou looked at Lin Xuan and smiled: "We two, even if we die, we will die together!"

Lin Xuan also stared into her eyes!

Of course, he knew!

Ya Tou was acting, playing the role of a wife! It's just that she understood very little about emotions!

Perhaps her only understanding came from those legendary, great, tragic, and devoted stories!

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?

Romeo and Juliet?

It should be like this!

Since ancient times, the love stories that everyone has talked about and praised are either about life and death or about lovers dying together!

It seems that only love that costs one's life is considered true and admirable! Is that really the case?

Lin Xuan couldn't be sure!

It's not true love! But at least for Ya Tou, perhaps she simply believed that only this kind of loyalty that conforms to the legendary stories is true! So she always talks about never abandoning each other, always upholding life and death together!

Simple!

And pure!

"Sister-in-law!"

Er Zhu Zi was shocked: "You're going too?"

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma!

Frowning!

Finally, he shook his head at A Zhuang and San Pang: "I changed my mind, I vote yes."

Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat) laughed: "Okay."

"So now it's 3:2, the resolution is passed. Lin Xuan, old brother, tell me, what's your specific plan?" Lin Xuan nodded: "I've already thought about the plan. We know too little about Queen Town, and we don't have any weapons to fight against it. So, the most urgent thing is that we need a strong teammate!"

"The good news is that I have already found a teammate in advance. He is a human from Mars and has a lot of alien technology. I will bring him here now!"

This was the second step of Lin Xuan's plan, to let Wei Shengjin, the old man, also join Lian Village.

First of all, it is said that there are ten safes in Queen Town, maybe there is one belonging to Wei Shengjin. This trip must take him to fulfill his dream! Secondly, Wei Shengjin is a treasure all over his body. This time, the infiltration is really impossible without his equipment support. Bringing this old bone is also a win-win situation!

After that, Lin Xuan called Wei Shengjin, who had been waiting outside the village for a long time, into the village!

Dora Wei Shengjin took out a few Martian technology items from his backpack and instantly conquered the four members of the Lian Village gang! Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat) caressed a pair of sunglasses with relish!

"Artifact! This is just too in line with my temperament."

"Old...!"

He put it directly on his face and looked at Lin Xuan: "Old brother, what do you think?"

Um...! It's hard to describe! Lin Xuan said truthfully: "The frame is obviously too narrow, your face is about to burst the glasses frame, I advise you not to wear it. If you wear it like this, it will definitely break in a few days!" "Hahaha, it won't!"

Wei Shengjin waved his hand, full of confidence in Martian technology: "Village Chief Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat), although his face is a little bigger, the frame of these sunglasses is made of memory alloy, which has strong adaptability and flexibility!

It looks like it's about to explode now, but if you wear it for a few more days and adapt, the frame and temples will naturally adapt to the face shape!"

! Although it still looks a little awkward, it will definitely not break!" A Zhuang waved the folding iron shovel in his hand and chopped off a wooden stick at the corner of the wall: "Magic weapon! As sharp as mud!"

Er Zhu Zi stared at the transparent thermos cup in his hand: "Magic weapon! This means we can drink hot water at any time." "I have a lot of dried wild wolfberries, and I usually only put a few in when I cook rice. From now on, I can drink wolfberry water every day."

San Pang wrapped a cashmere scarf around his neck and put his hands in his waistband, feeling very cool: "I think it's okay."

Finally!

Wei Shengjin became the second "bandit" of Lian Village with a unanimous vote!

He leaned close to Lin Xuan and said in a low voice: "Suddenly, I feel that Da Lianmao (Big Face Cat) and the others are really naive. They are completely defenseless against others!"

Lin Xuan chuckled: "So!

Sincerity is a must-kill skill!"

Not long after!

A group of seven people set off from Lian Village! They first came to a hill hundreds of meters away from Queen Town and hid in the woods, looking at the developed town in the setting sun!

I have to say that at this moment, seeing a town of this scale on such a backward Earth, the shock is no less than seeing New Donghai City in the Second Dream! The distance was very far, and the details of the town could not be seen clearly!

However, the city walls surrounding the town were a square, protecting the town!

In front of the town gate, there was actually a moat. The drawbridge was down now, and some people on horseback were coming in and out!

The buildings in the town were arranged very neatly and orderly. The internal roads were also well-connected and the traffic was busy!

Most of the buildings were at least two stories high, and the closer to the middle, the more stories there were. The tallest building in the middle, like a castle, was probably four or five stories high. It was hard to imagine that without reinforced concrete, it was possible to build such a tall house relying on pure wooden beams and brick structures!
