Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The sky was pouring with heavy rain, and the searchlight on the well wall was shattered in the chaos. The fire gradually spread to the deck, but for a moment, the huge cargo ship was like a torch suspended in the air.

Under the leadership of Chad, the organized Drifter Legion rushed onto the deck. Some guards in the lower city recognized them as servants struggling to survive in the underground river. They were frightened at the same time, but the next moment they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. Submerged.

Strictly speaking, with the power of the central community, it may not be a problem to suppress the entire Xiacheng District. However, no more than a quarter can be allocated to this freighter.

Even the more elite personnel will remain on the last lagoon battleship, the Reef.

The strength on the remaining ships is enough to guard the hostage merchants.

After all, no one thought that the drifters who used to be timid and submissive would one day dare to straighten their spines and raise the butcher knife towards themselves like moths flying into the flame!

In this dank underground city.

A long time ago, a dangerous explosive barrel had been planted, and only one spark of fire was left to detonate it.

Not even the surging lake water could cover it.

On the pipeline platform, the firelight reflected in the old man's eyes, making the drifter's originally cloudy pupils shine brightly. Memories flashed in his heart. He thought of those strong people, his son, and the birth of children. Mother giving birth to her child.

Finally, it fell on the song spread among the drifters community:

the embers of the old world,

The first fire of the new world.

The old man patted his granddaughter in his arms: "Go."

Little Li Yin nodded, and together with the other drifters, women and children who were unable to hold weapons, ran towards the reactivated conveyor belt of the old community. Although her cheeks were still dry, there was a faint rosiness in them.

This girl didn't have any disease in the first place. If anything, she only had the easiest and most difficult to cure terminal disease in the world: hunger.

After just a few full meals, her youthful vitality already made her look much better.

On the conveyor belt, a row of curtained boxes was transported slowly and intermittently. After arriving at Community No. 2, the drifters took over to load and unload them and stack them aside.

These were snatched from freighters.

The managers of Community No. 2 originally wanted to use it to transport their private wealth and manpower onto these large ships that were about to sail to the secret new base, but they did not expect that at this moment, they were being transported backwards.

Until someone was carrying a container, there was a scream of horror inside. When he opened the curtain, he saw that there were several wet merchants inside. They were so crowded in a narrow space. Several people had twisted postures.

After Luo Yousheng officially boarded the ship and suppressed the troubled merchants, his men dealt with them all in this way, which also saved space for loading cargo and the crew's living space.

This was still the method used by hunters in the past to help transport slaves on ships.

After all, people who cannot control their own destiny are no different from goods in this world.

"No, don't kill us..."

Several merchants were terrified. Having experienced betrayal, anger and despair, they could only feel the world spinning in the darkness, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and they could not understand the situation at all.

Now that they saw the light again, the lights in the mine tunnel and fear made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

"Are you also stowaways?" A crisp voice sounded, and a bold merchant opened his eyes in surprise, only to see a little girl.

Li Yin looked at them curiously. They were still wearing exquisite clothes. Even though they were soaked and wrinkled by the rain, they could still tell how luxurious they were.

The capital and wealth of these caravans are also the reason why they are targeted. Otherwise, in terms of manpower alone, the drifters are cheaper.

What's more, the law enforcement team is taking advantage of the world's trust in technology hunters, but it is not their own reputation that is being damaged. It can be said that there is no cost.

"It's okay, I'll let you out right now." The other party didn't know how to reply. Li Yin didn't wait for them to speak, and took off the simple bracelet on her slender wrist——

It was a twisted piece of rusty wire.

Immediately, she started tinkering clumsily and seriously with the keyhole of the cage.

in this world.

Even young children are not useless.

Li Yin still doesn't understand the meaning of 'stowaway', but in his eyes, these 'stowaways' are not more attractive than the previous ones.

Watered by heavy rain.

The flames for a moment stopped.

But it has left its mark.

"What happened below?" The commander on the reef battleship frowned. The storm over the depression lagoon has not stopped. There is even a small waterspout on the lake in the distance. The wind howls and the sound of water droplets slapping on the armor. , almost covering up all the noise.

But he could still vaguely feel that something was wrong - the other party did not play the popular 'signal' according to the agreed time.

"They have descended to Community No. 2, which is the lowest level of the entire lower city." The adjutant said lazily: "If there is any problem, the Tortoise and the Viper will find it."

In terms of the division of the lower city, the reason why they did not allow free communication between Community No. 2 and the central community was because this community was to some extent the gateway that blocked the drifters from the inner city.

Originally, the Depression Lagoon Town did not have such a division. It was just a drilling platform. When it was still operational, the bottom and the interior were the most active. Some locations have not been completely cleared up even by current technology hunters.

It is better to cut it off according to the terrain.

The Tortoise and the Viper are two cargo ships that have already sunk into the underground river. They are closer to the falling Raven.

"Send the signal for the last time - nothing can go wrong before the Lord Watcher comes back." The captain of the Reef, who is also the chief of the law enforcement team, looked at the adjutant: "Also, have all the suspicious people in the city been investigated? Those who have no foundation should be cleared out and taken away, and they should not be left behind."

Hearing the first half of the order, the adjutant was still a little lazy, just nodded lightly, but when the captain said the following instructions, his heart tightened, as if he thought of something, and he smiled and said: "Of course, big brother, you have asked so many times, and I am already... well, tired of hearing it."

"I will definitely not let Lord Qin down." He promised repeatedly.

Underground river.

The captain of the Viper, the captain of the law enforcement team responsible for the internal discipline of the depression lagoon, stood at the stern and looked at the passage behind him, a little distracted.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Raven will land there, sink into the water, and sail out of the lake with them.

As the captain, he had to be ready to face the impact of the waves caused by the entire fully loaded cargo ship falling directly into the underground river.

"Why do I smell a bloody smell?" He shrugged and sniffed.

Is there a death in this underground river?

It can't be a bloody rain from the sky.

"If people in the lower city are injured and dead and have no place to bury, it is normal to find a place to throw them into the lake below and float downstream." The adjutant came from the deck, "I have salvaged a net of corpses these days... It's bad luck. I originally wanted to catch two fish to eat."

"You are also careless. You can eat all the fish here." The captain turned around and looked at him.

"What's the big deal." The adjutant made a gesture of holding a cigarette, "You also know that I am 'this'-"

Then the two smiled tacitly.

"Where are the people from the Turtle?" After a morbid sneer, the adjutant returned to seriousness and asked curiously, "I haven't seen them for several days."

"They left first, saying... to chase something." Captain Viper was a little hesitant when mentioning this, "You know, they are not our people."

But collaborators.

The blueprint of the Reef warship was provided by them.

Black Scratches originally thought that this was made by the Lake Town Hunters searching for ancient relics and copying the old shipwrecks. This achievement alone is worth the gains of many adventures.

For this, the headquarters praised them more and gave them more autonomy to give full play to them.

But they didn't know that the Depression Lagoon had not issued a large-scale exploration mission for a long time, and the blueprint of the entire ship was completely a gift.

Or a transaction.

With such a gift, it can be said that it is not excessive to let the other party occupy a cargo ship alone.

"Those people are quite mysterious... What are they looking for?" the adjutant asked curiously, "There are things in this world that interest them all."

"It is said that it is a white giant beast," the captain recalled, "someone reported similar rumors and traces in the underground river. Captain Lu Gui was very surprised after hearing it, saying that it should not appear here, it should be in Ai Kuang Town or something like that... I don't know the details, so I'll leave it to them."

The only thing he knew was that the other party was a difficult person to control, and even Lord Qin treated him with courtesy.

In the entire south, no one except Tian Xinli Zheng in Kaidun City was qualified to have such treatment.

After hearing this, the adjutant also put away his curiosity. Although they were all registered, they did not have the adventurous spirit of those ordinary technology hunters, and understood that some things should not be investigated by themselves.

However, just as the two of them were waiting with the whole ship, a roar suddenly came from the direction of the drilling!

The steel and wooden beams broke and collapsed, and the rubble fell like rain, stirring up the light red lake water.

It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

…

…

Lin Ji rushed out of the cabin. She was originally chasing a familiar figure, but the other party had strong stealth ability and agile body. In this narrow cabin, she had the most room to play.

Many thugs and guards were separated and blocked in different unconnected spaces because she destroyed the passage of the alley and assassinated the leader at the same time... and were defeated and eliminated one by one by the armed drifters.

Facts have proved that the last time the anti-slavery team passed through Shandi, they really had no malice - once they went deep behind the enemy and had no scruples, even if they were alone, they could create extraordinary destruction.

Once there is no one like Yamudu who knows his methods well, ordinary forces and organizations can't even make effective counterattacks.

Lin Ji naturally didn't know this. She just noticed from a glimpse that the other party looked like the back of a girl she had seen in the black scratch - she was not an acquaintance, but when she went to the tavern for a drink after get off work, she always saw her drinking alone, which left an impression.

Logically speaking, the image of that girl in the minds of everyone in Black Scratch Town was still somewhat aloof and timid. How could she cause such massive destruction and chaos in a depression lagoon thousands of miles away... However, even he could come here as an inspector. Connecting all the coincidences, Lin Ji couldn't help but care.

After just such a chase, she actually caught up to the deck.

And the key is...

On the way, the path was lost.

No wonder, with the speed and intensity of their pursuit, few people in the world could keep up.

When the prosecutor knocked her head, she felt a little impulsive again, but she had already cut off Luo Yousheng's head and left it with him.

Even if you meet a drifter, this is the most powerful way to declare your name.

Keeping it safe is no problem.

However, when Lin Ji appeared on the deck in an outfit that was obviously not suitable for a drifter or a gangster, the eyes from all around were directly focused on her, and there was a lot of hostility among them.

None of them expected it.

Lin Ji was not afraid at all. She held her knife and glanced around, looking for an opportunity to escape. However, when she saw a figure, she was suddenly stunned: "Chad?"

The boxer who was approaching her was also stunned at the same time: "Do you know me?"

"It's written in the file... Don't worry, you are clean." Lin Jie said casually.

At this moment, a burst of light suddenly came from overhead, penetrating through the still heavy rain curtain and illuminating the deck of the Raven.

Then, it started flashing.

Lin Ji's expression changed: "Signal language?"

She quickly looked at Chad who was guarding the side of the boat: "Didn't you respond?"

When Chad was still shocked that the other party could call his name and thinking about the meaning of the word 'clean', he subconsciously replied: "Response to what..."

"...It's over." Lin Ji strode towards his position, "But it's not too late now!"

"Go on!" She took out a black notebook and threw it to Chad, "Give me your flashlight again."

The surrounding drifters originally wanted to stop him, but as soon as Chad turned to the first page of the certificate, his expression changed and he quickly ordered: "Stop!"

Then he took out the hunter's special bright flashlight and threw it to the other party.

Lin Ji climbed up the ship's pole three times and stood at the top like a black star in the dark night. She turned on the switch in the direction of the light beam and skillfully sent out internal signals according to the frequency.

Although she didn't know the purpose of these rioters, they were "really" on the same ship at this moment. If they were discovered by the battleship above...

Then we have to sink together!

"Look, I said it's okay." The adjutant looked at the flickering light beam and casually explained, "It's just that the sling was in disrepair and hit the drilling rock wall and had some bumps. Now it's back to normal..."

He paused: "Okay, there seems to be a little fire...but it's not a big problem."

Captain Reef frowned, but didn’t say much.

It would be nice to have a response.

As for other problems, they are all due to Luo Yousheng's unfavorable job. As expected, there is no way to completely trust these people from Xiacheng District——

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion on the deck, which shocked all the officers and sailors to look back. At the same time, the crossbow turrets with searchlights were all aimed there.

Then they felt relieved again.

In other words, there was a hint of fanatical joy.

I saw a man with a long body and long hair, half kneeling on the ground and then slowly getting up. The water fell from his clothes, as if he had just been soaked.

The adjutant's eyes lit up, he saluted and said, "Sir, you are back..."

But before he could finish speaking, the man interrupted him directly: "Sink the boat."

"What?" This time, even the captain of the reef battleship was stunned.

"I said..." Watcher Qin coldly ordered, "Sink this ship!"
