Masha dug the place reserved for the biogas pit in the passage extending to the north of the world in the car, and added a fence at the door to prevent the little girl from falling into the biogas pit and drowning.
——It would be stupid to use the resurrection coins for something like this.
"But when I went to throw out the trash, it stank. There were bugs."
"Didn't I buy a lot of mosquito repellent?"
"There's none here." The little girl frowned.
Masha thought that he should hurry up and finish the biogas digester, otherwise it would be a real problem.
While he was thinking about these "logistical" matters, he was waiting for the girl who was on her first police call to return.

"Let's fly lower!" Chihiro said as she took the lead in descending.
The league secretary followed immediately.
"Do you think they will attack us with missiles?" asked the League Secretary.
"Who knows? Anyway, let's use the tall buildings as cover!"
As they were talking, the two of them flew over a pedestrian bridge. They were both flying very fast, and the gusts of air they created swept across the bridge.
There were a few middle-aged men on the overpass who had just drunk some wine. They were crossing the bridge arm in arm, singing and falling to the ground.
Several people looked up at the sky together, and one of them suddenly shouted, "Wow, RoboCop!"
"Are you stupid? Even with Robocop, it can't fly!"
In the blink of an eye, the streamlined body of the stealth fighter roared across the sky.
Several people shouted together: "Wow! A stealth plane!"

A total of 3210 blades yesterday.
I calculated that it is better for you 11, oops, such a small number was filled up in one go.
Chapter 251 We Choose Trust and Hope (Part )
This time, Qi Xiangwen was not connected to the AR conference, but talked over the phone with 404 and 409 who used advanced voice changers.
"They killed the newly awakened ones who were on a killing spree without saying a word?" 404 asked. Because of the voice changer, Qi Xiangwen had no way of judging his current emotions.
"Yes." Qi Xiangwen responded.
"It's actually earlier than we expected." 404 muttered, obviously not speaking to Qi Xiangwen.
Although Qi Xiangwen had a lot of questions to ask, he remained silent.
Sure enough, 409 replied: "Yes, we originally expected that this kind of spontaneously organized vigilantes would appear only when the awakening rate reached %."
Qi Xiangwen immediately noticed the word "vigilante".
A host of images immediately emerged in his mind - all of them were characters from American comics that had recently become popular.
"Don't you have anything to ask?" 404 suddenly asked this, and Qi Xiangwen realized that this was a question to him.
So he asked bluntly: "What is the matter with the vigilantes? And the awakening rate has reached 1%..."
"The main disagreement among world governments in dealing with extraordinary natural disasters is whether to take strong control measures or to place hope and trust in children."
Qi Xiangwen was a little confused. They were clearly discussing a very specific and realistic issue, but 404 suddenly turned to a broad policy disagreement that felt very vague.
But he chose to shut up and continue listening.
If these big shots who can only be identified by their numbers are willing to talk to a middle-level manager about these things, it means that the leader values him very much. If he speaks without thinking at this time, he will easily waste a precious opportunity.
"Currently, the control faction is the mainstream, but we in Greater China do not particularly agree with the control faction. There are also many of our companions in the world government. We hope that one day in the future, children will be able to manage their peers themselves and they will be able to spontaneously enforce justice. To this end, we have filmed a large number of movies and animations that will be popular with children, and have also produced a number of games."
"what?"
"There's a cartoon recently called Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Have you seen it?"
Qi Xiangwen answered truthfully: "No, I... don't have any children that I can bring into the cinema."
"Really? That's a pity, because I was the one who decided on the script."
Qi Xiangwen should have passed the age of being easily startled, but he was still startled.
"A child hurriedly broke into the world of superpowers, and then met some adults and some peers. He learned about sacrifice and dedication from the adults. He gained a sense of belonging and recognized himself from his peers. In the end, he overcame the sadness and chose to shoulder the burden of protecting the world with his own will."
Qi Xiangwen knew that 404 was talking about the outline of the movie plot.
He began to understand what 404 meant.
"This is our gift to children, and we have given many such gifts. Some of them were embarrassingly bad, but we still made many works that children like, and that can make them sit in the cinema, sit in front of the computer, immerse themselves in the works, and laugh and cry along with the plots."
"That future where spiritual energy is revived, that world where many people have superpowers, is ultimately the world of children. No matter how hard we try, we will eventually hand that world over to the children. That world must be protected by them themselves."
At this time, Qi Xiangwen couldn't suppress his urge to speak, so he said loudly: "But look! These two children suddenly appeared, and then sentenced the sudden awakening body to death! It seems to be justice, but in fact it is just indiscriminate killing!"
"They are children. At this stage, they are still following the simplest and most straightforward view of good and evil. This is normal. One day in the future, they will gradually realize the necessity of procedural justice and realize that procedural justice can ensure the greatest common denominator.
"For now, it's enough for them to be 'chivalrous' like this. We need to give the children time to grow up. To be honest, I'm in a good mood today and I feel relieved. It's better to show up early than late!"
Qi Xiangwen was silent for a while, then he suppressed his surging emotions, and then asked in a calm voice: "What should we do now? Should we just ignore this 'vigilante' who suddenly appeared?"
"Of course we have to manage, otherwise we won't be able to convince the public. Moreover, the process of dealing with you is a good test for the children. However, we have to grasp the degree. You have to know that the management faction is the mainstream in the world government now. There will definitely be people who put pressure on you, and there will be various forces coming to infiltrate. Your area of jurisdiction will be very lively in the future.
"So in this regard, you need to withstand some pressure. You have to be clever and give the children trials, but don't let them end up being found by the World Government. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qi Xiangwen gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, if this is an order, I will definitely complete the task."
"This is not an order." 404 suddenly turned off the voice changer, "This is..."
"404!" 409 spoke.
"It will be over in a moment." It was an old voice. "As an elder, I want to share some life experience with you. There are indeed some children who are very bad. They destroy your family and your life. You can hate them. This is your right as a human being. But is it really good to label all children as bad at once?"
Qi Xiangwen remained silent.
"Being a father is an important part of life, and you have always lacked this part. Now you might as well put yourself in the position of a father, watch these children grow up, train them, and believe in them. I believe that this is your redemption compared to simple revenge and retaliation."
Qi Xiangwen continued to remain silent.
404 turned on the voice changer again.
"I believe you can do it, so I'm telling you this. However, you also have to understand that everything those children have now is still very simple, definitely very simple. Therefore, you are still the first line of defense to protect the lives and property of the people in the Yuezhou area, and perhaps the last line of defense."
Qi Xiangwen took a deep breath and looked at the photos of his family on the table.
Over the years, he has always regarded this photo as a rope to hang his head on, a needle to prick his thigh, and a whip to urge himself to move forward faster.
For the first time in so many years, he doubted whether he had the ability to complete the task entrusted by his superiors.
"Even if you say that we should trust the children, how long will it take for them to grow up? If we put them under our management and mobilization earlier..."
"Yes, that might reduce many civilian casualties in the short term, but it might lead to even more terrible disasters in the future. Strong control will create deep rifts between us and our children, and between our children. Aren't there enough tragedies in this world caused by strong control by parents?"
Qi Xiangwen was silent.
"Being able to discipline children is a very efficient way of education, which saves time and effort and has quick results. In contrast, teaching children love, responsibility and faith requires too much energy and time, and there may be countless inputs with no visible output.
"But we choose to trust, and hope."
Qi Xiangwen held the photo frame and gently stroked the faces of his wife and daughter.
"give it to you."
"Yes, I promise, I will complete the task."
Chapter 252: Banye Circus! (Three more chapters)
After hanging up the phone, Qi Xiangwen stood up and put on his headset: "Fighters, turn off the missile fuses and lock onto the target. Once you enter an open area such as a mountainous area, you will immediately fire in unison. The captain's aircraft will grasp the timing and then disengage immediately."
Outside the transparent wall, Gao Shun looked back but said nothing.
Qi Xiangwen continued to give orders: "Mobilize all surveillance methods and keep a close eye on them!"
**
The two-plane formation tracking the unconfirmed awakened entity opened its ammunition bay.
According to mission requirements, both aircraft carry cluster air combat missiles.
When the leader's plane confirmed that there were mountains ahead, he gave the order to launch.
The cluster missiles were dropped and the two fighter jets immediately pulled up and disengaged.
The cluster missiles quickly dispersed and ignited separately, scattering like a group of fireflies and rushing towards Chihiro and the others.
Of course, the missiles' fuses were disabled, but no one knew that.
**
Qianxun turned around suddenly, lowered the electromagnetic cannon, and started firing continuously.
The league secretary was a beat slow, turned his body and fired backwards.
Both of them don't rely on engines to fly, but rather on superpowers, so there is no problem at all flying backwards.
The missile that was hit exploded in mid-air, illuminating the dark night sky.
In order to buy themselves more time to shoot down the missile, Qianxun and the league secretary began to maneuver, using their ability to turn quickly to allow the missile to travel more distance in the air.
The combat missiles have amazing maneuverability, but their turning radius is still a bit large compared to the two who use super powers to fly.
A large number of missiles drew chaotic trails in the air.
Missiles that were hit kept exploding into fireworks.
**
Masha was bored of waiting at this time, so he drove his car out to take a look.
"Wow, Itano Circus? The real version?"
As a die-hard fan of Macross, Masha made an excited sound.
At this time, the League Secretary was almost over the rendezvous point. Masha hurried back to the abandoned house and let the car return to the real world - now Chihiro and the League Secretary were very close, and the waves emitted by the car returning to reality would disturb Chihiro and the others' waves.
Then Masha took the wall-penetrating ring, ran to the wall and placed the ring directly on the wall.
The next moment the league secretary rushed in, and as his back hit the ground, he opened fire outside the circle. The next moment the shock wave of the explosion sprayed into the house from the circle, almost scraping off a layer of Masha's face.
A lot of waste and garbage piled up in the house were blown down at once, making a loud noise.
Amid the thick smell of gunpowder, Chihiro crashed into the circle - her power armor was too big and she almost couldn't squeeze through, but the circle suddenly showed its ductility and became a lot bigger.
Masha was surprised: There is such a function!
Although he was surprised, he immediately took off the ring. In a flash, he heard a DUANG sound, and it was obvious that a missile hit the concrete wall.
Masha threw himself forward and fell flat on his back, holding his head in his hands.
The league secretary and Chihiro reacted quickly and rushed over to block Masha - the price they paid was that Masha was suddenly crushed by two power armors, and his internal organs were almost crushed.
There was no explosion.
Masha made a sound as if he was struggling to poop: "If you don't get up... I will... die!"
Then he was picked up like a chicken by Chihiro, who was wearing power armor, and thrown into the car.
The league secretary got on the bus next - she barely squeezed through the back of the bus and entered the world inside the car.
Chihiro could only try to "sit" in the car as much as possible.
Masha moved the car into the shadow of the earth.
The moment she entered the shadow, Chihiro was forced into the car by some force, and her power armor was deformed.
Masha quickly thought of the magic weapon and ordered it to cancel the armor equipment.
Qianxun suddenly fell forward in the car, wailing: "Oh my god, I was almost crushed to death. Fortunately, this power armor... is a bit strange. If it was an ordinary power armor, the kind produced by the factory, I would have been a meat pie."
"In short, the armor is very good at protection. We already know this thoroughly," the League Secretary standing in the world in the car was still wearing armor, "It can protect against energy, and it can protect the people inside even if it is squeezed and deformed. It is worthy of being a magic weapon derived from an SSS-level magic weapon. No, it should be a magic weapon derived from an EX-level magic weapon?"
Masha also sat up: "The missile that hit the wall just now didn't explode. It's very strange. Is it a malfunction?"
"No, I think the fuse was turned off on purpose," Qianxun climbed up and sat down on the car seat. "Some missiles were very close to me just now. This kind of missile usually has a proximity fuse, right?"
