Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Shi Cha's eyes swept across the faces of the visitors in surprise.

As the largest technology hunter base after Black Scratches, the stationed mechanics of Depression Lagoon are naturally more than just Wolf.

In fact, as the chief, in addition to checking the big projects such as model prediction, he is more obsessed with his own personal research.

On weekdays, it is the ordinary mechanics under his subordinates who are responsible for equipment maintenance and technical support. If Depression Lagoon loses them, it can be said that the normal "hunting" activities of the entire base will not be able to proceed.

Compared with the armed forces such as the law enforcement team, the number of mechanics present at the moment is naturally not many, only a dozen - but Shi Cha knows that if they are willing to join other lords of the United City, each of them will definitely be a trusted bachelor.

Even in an industrial city-state like Kaiton City, it is enough to rank among the top seats in the Iron Hand Conference of Scrap Masters.

His status and position can be seen.

On weekdays, they were busy with work and scattered all over the lagoon. Now, even if not all of them were present, it was even rarer than seeing Wolff for so many mechanics to greet them at the same time, and even for them to stand on the opposite side of the law enforcement team... At least they had seen him once.

Now that they were there, the law enforcement team would never dare to act rashly.

"Why..." Shi Cha looked at Nan Ding... Just because of a letter?

That so-called Grand Commander, a handwritten letter?

Although the things that can impress mechanics are not the same as the scale used to measure value in the secular world, a handwritten letter alone can have such an attraction to them. I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who have such ability?

The female doctor of the ember smiled and said, "I said there is no problem, right?"

She saluted the mechanic who led the team, and with the other's smile, she led the team to leave with him, and arranged the figures of the law enforcement team.

These white-robed crossbowmen looked at them covetously, and their eyes seemed to be able to nail a hole in them, but in the end they were helpless.

First, they dared not have any conflict with the mechanics. In essence, these bachelors not only belonged to the depression lagoon, but also belonged to the wealth of the world's civilization. If they bumped into someone and got his old cold legs again, it would be okay for the boss, but they would be pushed out to take the blame. No one was willing to bear the consequences.

Secondly, when seeing so many mechanics appear, the law enforcement team also felt that the intelligence was wrong: it seemed that this group of foreign merchants really had a close relationship with the mechanics, and the initial action could no longer be carried out.

However, they were also shocked and full of doubts like Shi Cha.

Nan Ding's sight passed through a group of mechanics walking with umbrellas, and under the cover of their loose waterproof bachelor's clothes, he "caught" a figure who was trying to hide.

Lu Dai was wet all over, her hair was soaked, she was out of breath, exhaled clouds of white mist from her mouth, and the braids that were originally carefully tied had spread out on her shoulders.

When she rushed out of the teacher's greenhouse roof, she saw the law enforcement team chasing away, and knew it was too late to catch up.

Besides, Lu Dai was not stupid enough to think that she could convince the other party's violent armed forces by herself - although she was valued, she was not a formal mechanic after all, and was just an ordinary resident of Lake Town in strict accordance with the law.

If the other party insisted on this point and pretended to be deaf and dumb, she would have no way to deal with it.

So, the apprentice didn't even have time to open an umbrella, and rushed directly to the transmission room and sent a telegram to all the mechanics on site.

The content of the telegram was also very simple.

Just a few words:

"Ancient language, breakthrough."

"White clothes, stop people."

This device, "invented" by a certain Iyo Prize winner in history, transmitted the message of help throughout the depression lagoon in a few milliseconds and reached every mechanic's workstation.

Everyone was interested.

Especially after seeing the source of the telegram: they had no reason to look down on something that Wolfe took so seriously.

Lu Dai knew that she had used the name of her teacher and her words were quite exaggerated, but the information that could be carried in the form of a telegram was limited, so she had to resort to this desperate measure.

However, she also keenly noticed the information that Wolfe had just accidentally leaked: the other party said that this prototype language had been deciphered by his senior brother and all the commonly used characters were deduced... Wolfe said it lightly, but Lu Dai knew that this was definitely a major achievement that could win the Iyo Prize.

But that senior brother was unknown.

Even the University of Mechanics did not make the prototype language vocabulary public, only sporadic discoveries were made based on previous research.

It was as if they were deliberately hiding it.

Now, this set of prototype language, apart from her teacher, I am afraid that only his senior brother and the author of the letter know it.

Lu Dai also doubted whether the person who wrote the letter was the teacher's senior brother, but she knew Wolfe. If this was the case, the other party would not hide it at all and would definitely have spoken frankly.

From this perspective, the wording of the telegram she sent was not exaggerated, after all, it involved the interpretation of ancient prototype language.

The premise is that she can really find the author of the letter, and pray that the poem is not copied from some relic by the other party, and the person himself knows nothing about ancient language...

Why do I feel that there are more and more places to check for omissions... Lu Dai felt dizzy.

At this time, she also felt a line of sight falling on her, subconsciously faced it, and then panicked.

Ludai faced Nanding from a distance.

She didn't know what she was trying to hide, but she just felt embarrassed for no reason. Then she saw the female doctor's mouth opening and closing silently, and then she understood her mouth shape:

"Miss Fugu, you look more like..."

They are aquatic creatures after all.

The rain poured down, and Lu Dai was completely discouraged.

…

…

Inside the central drilling shaft, a storm roared, and tons of rainwater fell from the sky almost every second, falling into the abyss several hundred feet wide.

The bottom of the abyss leads directly to the bottom of the depression lagoon. It was a former crude oil vein. The steel wrapped the four walls roundly, blocking even the turbulent lake water outside the platform.

Since the depletion of crude oil, the original production line equipment in Lake Town, including the largest central mine, has been shut down. No matter how expensive the huge mechanical facilities were originally, they can only be abandoned aside like dragon slaying skills, waiting for the rain. It slowly rusted and collapsed due to wind erosion.

However, the hollow created by the central mine shaft itself is now filled with hanging ladders and people coming and going.

Because it is the legendary Community No. 0 - the underworld war that once took place in the lower city. It was a competition launched by the selected people to compete for the management rights of this core community.

Survival of the fittest.

The corpses of the defeated turned the lake red.

Then each performs his or her duties.

As the core community, the number of guards here is also the largest, but compared to the huge hollow itself, they still seem too lonely and scarce.

It is on this vast and empty drilling wall that there are two outsiders as small as reptiles hiding in it, slowly crawling.

"I didn't expect us to actually come up... The path is okay, I have two hands." A woman in black tights looked at the abyss below her, extremely excited, "I said, since you have decided to surrender, are you interested in following me? ?”

"Following you..." A playful voice came from behind her, "Wouldn't that mean that I would be hungry twice?"

"What are you talking about!" the woman feigned anger, "Even though you are the only one with me now, I am still very powerful in Black Scratch... It's just that I can't see it now!"

The two of them were Lin Ji, the black scratch prosecutor who had sneaked into Community No. 0, and the Lord of the Swamp and Flash Land, the Red King of the Blood Blade, and the First Fire who lit the embers... The Nameless One traveled north.

——Lu Meng thought.

He used the theft skills of [Miao Shou] to steal the key to the gondola door when he passed by Du En, the manager of Community No. 1, thereby luring him to the dance hall where Bo and Chad were ambushing. .

If the two of them faced off against Du En alone, the outcome would be uncertain for the time being, but whether they were intentional or unintentional, with Bo's best stealth and Chad's frontal combat ability, there was no chance of failure in plotting against the opponent.

As for himself, with the key in hand and the appearance of a guard, he would have no problem sneaking into the elevator and successfully opening the upward passage.

The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and Lu Meng knew that with the combat qualities of those two people, if they saw that they did not meet up as scheduled, they would definitely not wait foolishly, but would go to the next location first.

He looked at the back of the person in front of him.

In comparison, it was more important to follow the reckless prosecutor who was traveling with him and confirm her whereabouts.

It can be considered an unexpected surprise.

After hearing Lin Jie's boast, he just smiled and said, "That's really awesome."

After getting along along the way, they have disarmed each other - at least on the surface.

Be more casual in your speech.

"You don't believe it when you hear it, right?" Lin Ji jumped up, grabbed the safety rope hanging from the drilling well, and swung up: "If you are ambitious and want to work hard, with this achievement, I can definitely take you down. Recommended to the inner circle, if one of the watchmen takes notice, I don’t know how many years of detours can be saved.”

"Even if the opponent is Alke... isn't it impossible?" After she landed firmly on the next scaffolding platform, she turned around and shouted: "Catch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow swung towards him. Lu Meng stretched out his hand to fish it out and caught the tail end.

What I got was the safety rope just now.

The two of them were not walking on the conventional route still used by Community No. 0. The place they were climbing on was the passage that old workers used to go up and down the mine for maintenance and repairs, which has long been abandoned.

Even this safety rope is old. Even if the fibers on it have not aged yet, they are covered with old moss and are slippery and sticky.

Lin Ji did not directly throw the end of the safety rope to him like she had done in the past. Instead, she took the rope off the hook, looped it around her arm, and stood firm with her legs.

It turns out that the prosecutor was worried that the original steel hook would be corroded and unable to bear Lu Meng's weight.

The other party has been walking in front along the way, not only relying on their own strength, but also exploring the way.

Lu Meng did not criticize, grabbed the rope and jumped up, landing steadily, and then casually said: "But I am lazy by nature and don't like to work hard... After I go out this time, if I just want to live my life smoothly, So what should we do?”

In order to respect the other party's good intentions, he did not rely solely on his own skills to jump over, but borrowed half of his strength from the safety rope.

"I didn't expect you to be so light..." Lin Ji muttered, and then she stretched her body when she heard Lu Meng's words: "Isn't that better? People in this world always like to work hard, but in the end they don't earn anything. If you don't want to work hard, just be like me, eating and sleeping all day, and going to the library to borrow a little man painting when you get up. The cafeteria is free... Isn't life just as leisurely and comfortable?"

"If you really want to be lazy, why would you come here?" Lu Meng said.

As the examiner of the black scratch, even if there were other companions to help, no matter how many there were, it would be impossible to compete with the entire depression lagoon.

Besides, this is a job that offends people.

Judging from what Lin Ji did along the way, it doesn't seem like he is lazy at all.

"Huh... That's another matter." As if something was pointed out, the examiner responded vaguely, tilted his head inadvertently, and secretly looked at the guard from the corner of his eyes.

She was a little surprised: if the other party was really of low status and didn't know the organizational structure of Black Scratch Town, it would be fine if he didn't have any interest in it.

But even if she mentioned the name of Alk, the other party's expression remained the same... No matter how ignorant he was, he wouldn't be so ignorant.

In their Black Scratch, this sword master was so famous that he was nicknamed the "star" watcher, either teasing or envy - since ancient times, fame does not mean strength, but this one is definitely worthy of the name.

After thinking about it, Lin Ji shook his head again.

She thought with a little self-mockery:

"But if the sword master really takes a fancy to me at this time, it is not a good thing for ordinary people..."

Just when she was a little lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a whisper in her ear: "Be careful, someone is coming!"

Almost at the same moment, the examiner also reacted. She raised her whip leg and kicked the man's crotch. Then with a loud "bang", she punched the man's neck and knocked him out directly without him even screaming.

It was a patrolling guard.

"Thank you." She wrapped the man up with the safety rope and threw him into the hole behind her. They were passing a bridge at the moment.

No figure landed in the hole. After a while, Lu Meng walked out of it, already wearing the guard's uniform.

"Being able to meet people from the community means that we are almost close to our destination." He said, "The other party's patrol frequency and alertness will also be tightened... What are they guarding against?"

As if to reflect his words.

The huge, empty drilling rig above my head suddenly darkened.

A huge shadow slowly descended... It turned out to be a huge wooden ship with sails tied to it.

It fell from the sky.
