Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

The next day.

Barton Baker and an 18-member Class C construction team arrived in Rhode Island one after another.

Among them, Barton Baker was appointed as Deputy Minister of Manufacturing.

As for the ministerial position, Luo Lan will still hold it concurrently for the time being.

However, Barton Baker was in charge of all matters, and Luo Lan did not interfere.

The reason why he was not made the top leader directly was because...

B-level talents...

It's always a little low.

Even if he was not an S-level talent, even if he was an A-level talent, Luo Lan would directly give him the position of the top leader.

As for the C-level construction team, as soon as they arrived, they started the construction of the C-level training center, and later there was a port waiting to be built.

Luo Lan would not let them rest during the three-month contract given in the gift package.

Not even a day!

Later on, we must speed up the process of making money, fill them with work, and squeeze out all the value!

Bru Bru Bru...

"I'm Luo Lan!"

The telephone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Colonel, this is submarine number two, and we are carrying out a tracking mission!"

"How's it going?"

"The target is still sailing towards the East China Sea Prosperity Zone at a speed of 7 knots!"

The marine's report came from the Den Den Mushi.

Luo Lan did not reply, but instead began to tap the table rhythmically.

Until half a minute later.

"Come back, there's no need to follow me anymore."

"Yes, Colonel!"

------

Rhode Island, more than a hundred nautical miles away.

Tina stood on the bow deck, her coat of justice rustling in the wind.

The beautiful eyes that had been closed for a long time finally opened slowly.

"You little brat, you even followed Tina. What secrets are you hiding on Rhodes Island?"

"Helmsman, change course, target Rhodes Island."

He turned around and waved his right hand.

Tina gave the order in a heroic manner.

In fact, Tina had already noticed something was wrong since that day at the dock.

The first is the dilapidated two-story building.

That thing might collapse if it were to move a little too much.

Luo Lan and his marines actually lived there for a whole year. How is that possible?

Well, even if you didn’t live in there, but camped or even slept outdoors, you still had that girl named Nami, so why were her clothes so clean and tidy?

The most important thing is that Tina’s newly awakened observation Haki, although it only covers a small area.

But it was enough to sense that there was no one in the dangerous building.

So, where did everyone else go except Luo Lan and Nami?

Combined with the fact that Nami ran away in the woods that covered almost the entire island except near the coast, so...

No matter what Luo Lan is hiding, the secret is definitely within that vast forest.

In the end, what made Tina completely suspicious was the person who had been following her underwater since she left Rhodes Island yesterday.

Haha, he is really brave, hanging about a hundred meters behind his own warship.

Close enough for Tina to sense whatever was underwater, but inside...

There are 7 people!

This series of flaws were not actually Luo Lan's fault.

After all, for the vast majority of people on Earth, their inherent impression is that Tina will not be domineering at the beginning of the plot, but will become so two years later.

Not to mention the two years before the start of the story.

But in fact, the original work just did not describe Tina's domineering nature two years ago, but did not explicitly say that she would not do so.

This resulted in Luo Lan being completely unprepared for this aspect.

if not...

Before Tina came to Rhodes Island, he would evacuate everyone from the other side of the island to avoid being discovered.

Several people will also be arranged to provide cover in the old branch building.

Even the final tracking will be done with special care and at a distance.

------

after one day.

late at night.

About 20 nautical miles off the southern coast of the island.

The warship, which was supposed to have left, appeared here again at some point.

It turned off all the lights, and it would be easy to spot if you weren't close to it or happened to shine a strong light on it.

And at the same time.

A small boat carrying three figures was also rowing hard by two marines.

Landing in southern Rhode Island.

Tina jumped off the boat and looked at the cliff in front of her that was more than 200 meters high...

"Tina will act alone from now on, you guys stay here!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

For ordinary marines, this two hundred-meter-high, almost vertical cliff is difficult to climb, but for Tina...

It's not a big deal at all.

at the same time.

In Luo Lan's office.

"Colonel, as you guessed, Colonel Tina landed from the cliffs on the south bank and has now entered the jungle. She was captured by the surveillance Den Den Mushi."

Put down the Den Den Mushi, Ian reported.

Luo Lan sighed slightly.

If it were someone else, they might just set a trap to capture the person and then lock him up first.

But Tina...

I really can't do this kind of thing.

After all, she was one of the best people to him during his years in the headquarters.

Convince her to keep a secret for you?

Luo Lan is confident that he can do it, but is it right or wrong to do so?

Forget it, I don't want to.

Let’s wait and see after people arrive!

"Ian, notify everyone not to intercept!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Ian nodded, and then used Den Den Mushi to convey the order.

And the other side.

Using her not-so-proficient observation Haki, Tina dodged one sentry after another in the woods.

Continuously approaching the central area of ​​the middle island.

"There are so many secret sentries. If Tina remembers correctly, the 157th branch, Luo Lan, and that kid named Ian can't even gather ten people. But the secret sentries along the way... there are already more than ten people, right?"

"What secrets...are you hiding here?"

The more Tina thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

What should I do if I find out that Luo Lan is committing a crime?

Thinking of this, Tina quickened her pace again.

Until suddenly the view in front of me suddenly opened up, and a place like a mini city suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was obvious that someone had cut down the trees and leveled out a large area here.

Even a lot of construction was carried out.

Look at those buildings...

Although the style is completely different from this world, Tina doesn't know why, but she always thinks these buildings are very beautiful. How can I put it about the architectural styles she has seen in the past...

Well, out of date!

Very outdated!

This mini town in front of me seems to come from the future.

here...

What on earth is this place!

The answer appeared in just the next second.

Jumping onto the roof of a two-story building, Tina explored the interior of this mini city.

Then she saw...

Two patrol teams of marines are undergoing a handover.

Marines, how could they be Marines!!!

Then, look in other directions.

Finally, we stopped at one of the two three-story buildings.

There was a huge glass window covering an entire wall, and since it was night time, the lights in the house were on.

This allowed Tina to see clearly the two figures inside at the first glance.

Who else could be sitting there if not Luo Lan?

And the guy standing across from the desk, seemingly reporting...

Isn't it Luo Lan's follower...

Ian?
