Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Hurry up, hurry up...be quick!" A supervisor with a good temperament was shouting, "If arms and legs are so useless on your bodies, then I don't mind cutting them all off!"

Under his urging, the laborers, all wet by the heavy rain, gritted their teeth and took turns to move wooden boxes onto the ship, like a whole assembly line.

And the supervisor was wearing a snow-white robe.

When he saw that the moving was almost done, he gave an order, and the people on the scaffolding loosened the twister, and the wooden ship slowly fell under the lifting of the steel cable, and the huge pressure made the whole hull creak.

They actually wanted to lower the entire ship to the bottom of the well - the abyss adjacent to the underground river of the depression lagoon.

If it were the underground waterways in other areas, no matter how much water erosion, it would not be possible to expand to accommodate the entire wooden ship. However, the ground here has long been hollowed out due to hundreds and thousands of years of mining in the past.

Once the storm is over and the gates are opened, the tide outside recedes, and the water level drops to a level state inside and outside, these large ships loaded with raw materials and equipment can leave immediately.

Leave the depression lagoon.

Find a new place to stay.

As the cargo ship landed in the well, the supervisor in a white robe jumped down and landed on its deck, and a shadow covered the supervisor's head, blocking the pouring rain.

It was another new large ship waiting to be loaded, and as for the supervisor's position, there were also colleagues to replace him.

The supervisor jumped down from the loading platform and landed steadily. During the period, the distance between the platform and the deck was at least more than ten meters. Even the thick wooden boards were smashed and made a loud noise, and the accumulated rain splashed up to a person's height.

But he still stood up like nothing happened and prepared to go to the captain's room.

"Wait, stop... What do you want to do!" There was a burst of shouting and pushing behind him. Looking back, he saw some people dressed in plain clothes being stopped by the guards.

"Masters of the law enforcement team, we haven't made any mistakes. You, what are you bringing us to such a place for?" Seeing the supervisor turn around, the leader shouted as if he saw hope, "Where are you taking us next?"

"Don't talk too much!" The guard next to him was about to slap him, but was stopped by someone. Judging from the camouflage raincoat and uniform on him, he was still a technology hunter.

The technology hunter said: "Brother Yousheng, you should explain the situation to them clearly. It will be a mess if it goes on like this."

The supervisor who turned around said: "Is it necessary?"

"At least it can make them give up completely."

"That's good..." Luo Yousheng, the captain of the Lower City Division of the law enforcement team, slowly said: "Anyway, you should know that you can't get out."

Hearing the second half of his words, the people who were crowded and waiting felt cold in their hearts.

"Brother Hanli should have made it very clear. You signed the contract before you came... This is a commission." He swept his eyes over the crowd, "You help us transport things, I borrow your business name, and pay 30% of the value of the cargo after the task is completed. Why do you regret it when the task is at hand?"

"That's because you didn't tell us that we were transporting drugs... drugs..." The merchant stuttered, "And the place we are going to is not Ai Mining Town!"

"How can you accomplish anything big if you are so timid." Luo Yousheng sneered, "I know this is contraband in your United City, but that being said, if the inspection is really so strict, where does the 'bloody rum' that those young men and women drink come from?"

"As for the place we are going to, it is indeed not Ai Mining Town, but we never said we were going there. The so-called desolate and isolated... There are more than just the abandoned city that meet these conditions. Everything is what you think."

"For example, what about 'adventure'? ”

Stober's Adventure.

This time, everyone's face changed.

It was a forbidden land. Although it was connected to the Skeleton Wasteland and the Depression Lagoon, the latter two were at least inhabited.

In Stober's Adventure, there is a volcano called Yangquan. It is said that it has not been extinguished yet. From time to time, it spews out lava ash, covering the sky and the sun... but it is still dormant.

Except for the powerful, the rest of the ordinary people can't explore and survive in Stober's Adventure.

The merchants knew that with the blessing of the wooden boat and the opening of the technology hunters, they might be able to successfully enter it.

But what happened next, no one could say for sure: no information, no way to get out... Isn't this completely under their control?

The reputation of the technology hunters on the mainland is well-known. They will only So easily signed the contract, and followed the law enforcement team to the lower city that was originally closed to the public.

But all this has a premise.

- Supervision by the black scratch.

Don't trust the moral level of anyone in the dark, and don't entrust your fate to the self-discipline and goodwill of others.

The management of the technology hunters is indeed loose, but the premise of freedom is that the image and interests of the organization itself cannot be damaged, otherwise the headquarters will definitely strike hard, which was originally the consensus of all hunters and external partners.

Now, their cargo ship departs from the lower city and goes to the adventure of Stober. It will be out of the sight of the world along the way. Even if an accident occurs, no news will be spread.

In this case, there is an absolute force escort by the law enforcement team.

The result can only be slaughtered.

"Blame the storm, otherwise we might have other options." Luo Yousheng sighed, "But we also have to thank the storm... for giving us so much time."

Tech Hunter Hanley looked at the captain in silence. As a member who had already chosen sides, he knew the purpose of bringing these merchants.

They would need a large number of manpower to gradually transfer industries from the lower city and even from the depression lagoon.

In addition to the drifters who depended on Lake Town, the only people the entire town could mobilize were these foreign merchants - they were not residents of Lake Town. Without them, even if the Inquisitor from Black Scratch Town came later, they would not ask about the life and death of outsiders.

The merchants themselves would not stay for a long time, and there were contract documents left. If something unexpected happened on the road, although it was a pity, there was nothing they could do...

The reason why they were not so radical in the past was that many tasks could be split and disguised as ordinary tasks and assigned to hunters in the organization to complete.

But as the black scratches get serious and the industry moves out of the depression lagoon, it won't work anymore.

That lord, his success is also because of the technology hunter, and his failure is also because of it... From the establishment of the control law enforcement team, we can see his attempt to build his own private power.

As for these merchants.

They are the first batch of residents.

Or... slaves.

Fortunately, they come from all over the world, and they can always find the talents they need among them.

The cargo ship is falling continuously, and the rain is like a column. The people crowded on the deck originally still have a glimmer of hope, but now their hearts are like being soaked and gradually cold.

Especially when they see that people are constantly climbing up the four walls of the drilling well, and they jump up like their captain (that is, the new captain).

As a central community, the drilling well here connects the upper city with communities 1 and 2.

Among them, community 1 can directly and freely communicate with it.

There is only a one-way passage between community 2 and the drilling platform, and they can only pass through when they are released. People in the lower city are not qualified to contact actively.

As for the outermost communities No. 3 and No. 4, they are almost just a disguise, and they know even less.

It is also a clear hierarchy and orderly.

Now that such a large-scale operation is being carried out, the dark side of Lake Town has mobilized all its forces, in addition to the law enforcement team in the upper city, of course, there are also armed forces of the major confidants in the lower city.

Even if there are some unqualified mobs, they are still counted as manpower.

Added together, these merchants who were deceived or held hostage on the ship at least cannot resist.

Luo Yousheng wiped the rain off his face. Because of the delay, he simply stood at the bow to count the number of people who met.

"It's almost there... Wolfe, that young boy, also sent a new round of forecasts. The rain will stop in the next few days." He thought to himself, "It comes quickly and goes quickly."

They prepared a total of four cargo ships for this trip. In addition to the one under his feet, two of them were already full and entered the underground river.

The only remaining one was the last and only cast iron warship above his head.

The depression lagoon is essentially an inland lake, and the waters are scattered and not connected, and it cannot carry heavy ships with a deep draft... But in this environment, being able to build it by relying on its own strength is enough to show the financial and production strength of the lake town.

As a warship, it also needs to carry cargo, but what is loaded on it, even with Luo Yousheng's authority, it is impossible to know.

And this process will probably take a whole day.

At this moment, within his sight.

The deck of the entire ship was in a mess, and the personnel were scattered.

The law enforcement captain frowned: Even if those people in the lower city are fierce, their quality is still too low. Many of them are no different from the so-called gangsters, and are not as good as them at all.

When he thought that the subordinates of that adult were too scarce, he could only use these people because they had no choice, not to mention that they were all beings that could be abandoned at any time... Luo Yousheng was relieved.

"Line up! Take everyone back... You guys should set things in order!" He said so, but he still couldn't stand it. He gave a few instructions and went to the captain's room with the guards.

He didn't need to do the specific steering work himself. Now the ship hadn't entered the underground river yet, it was just descending in midair, and there was no first mate or sailors to bother him for the time being... There was also his own bedroom and a stove made of fine pine charcoal.

In this cold wind and rain, just thinking about it made him feel warm all over.

Luo Yousheng entered the bridge and walked through the narrow corridor, followed by four or five guards in the same white robes, their leather boots creaking on the wooden boards.

But suddenly, he raised his hand.

He stopped his men.

"Silence..." He was about to hint, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked sideways and saw that there were only two guards left behind him. He immediately shouted, "Behind!"

"——Go!"

With a bang, Luo Yousheng exerted his strength at the same time. His strong body directly broke through the wooden wall on the right. The shattered wood chips flew, and the figure of a woman drawing a knife was reflected in the light.

The weapons clashed.

Lin Ji's long knife stabbed out, but Luo Yousheng's reaction was not slow at all!

"Very sharp!" The woman laughed.

The examiner did not cover his face at all. A smile bloomed in the scattered and rapidly disappearing sparks, which was actually a bit crazy.

The sharp long knife slashed down.

It directly cut through the white robe behind the man.

However, Lin Ji's weapons and equipment were of excellent quality, but Luo Yousheng, as the backbone of the law enforcement team, received strong support from the base, and the soft armor lined with fine steel was actually indestructible.

There was just a white mark on it.

What's more important is that although Luo Yousheng has the strength to fight against him, he clearly understands that the key now is not to compete with him.

After he broke through the wooden wall, he rushed forward with long strides - in front of him was the guard room where the entire ship sent and received alarms!

"Stop her!" Luo Yousheng shouted.

The remaining two guards who had not fallen behind and were assassinated took action to intercept them.

In this action, they almost used their bodies to block the opponent's path for their boss.

"Tsk."

The woman was speechless.

In an instant, the knife was drawn like wind, and the broken knife was like water, and then thick liquid overflowed - Luo Yousheng felt a little warmth on the back of his neck.

Freshly spilled blood.

However, just this moment of time gained was enough for Luo Yousheng to break through the wooden wall again and rush to the guard room to sound the alarm...

But he didn't!

The man turned around forcibly, his white robe flying, and from under his clothes, a cold light that had been prepared was directly revealed, which was the arrow of the crossbow of the old world.

From the beginning, the captain had not thought about escaping - since the assassin could enter and ambush in the ship, how could he ensure that the other party did not sneak into the guard room and destroy all communication and alarm facilities?

He wouldn't take the gamble.

Luo Yousheng wanted to use the time he bought to kill the opponent directly.

Someone who can be chosen.

They all have this fierceness.

Lin Ji noticed this, and while blocking with her knife, she took out an Old World crossbow that was also full of strings from her waist.

It looks like there is going to be a mid-range sniper match.

However, as said before.

After all, she was blocked for a moment.

"Bang!"

The man suddenly fell to the sky and hit the ground hard on the back of his head - at the last moment, he seemed to be tripped lightly by someone's foot.

The original tight balance.

Break instantly.

Powerful old world arrows were nailed to the ceiling, sinking all of them.

All that's left is a big crack at the end.

"Keng."

Lin Ji blocked the debris flying towards her, and the old world crossbow in her other hand had not yet opened the cocking safety.

"Actually, there's no need..." She muttered quietly and threw the crossbow to the people around Luo Yousheng.

Lu Meng, who was dressed as a guard, took it and opened the string skillfully. Before the dizzy captain could react, he held the crossbow with one hand and pointed it at his head.

The sharp arrow had already pierced the man's forehead, leaving a trace of red blood.

While listening to the movement on the deck, he seemed to be thankful and said, "I have to help, right?"
