Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Sir, the loading of the Reef has not been completed yet. Even if we speed up, it will still take at least half a day..." the captain said quickly.

After the incident occurred in Shandi, and after noticing the change in Black Scratch's attitude, Watcher Qin went to Kaidun City to seek further cooperation while stalling for time.

For this reason, I was unable to personally direct the relocation work in Xiacheng District. Some key members thought that Mr. Qin would not be able to come back due to the storm, and they felt very uneasy about this.

Although I don’t know how he managed to break through the wind and waves, returning to the resting Reef is still an exciting thing.

Just hearing his cold tone, the captain thought that the watchman was blaming them for not doing things well and delaying the opportunity.

"If we don't do anything, our hometown will be stolen." Qin glanced at his two men, and the coldness in his eyes actually made the captain and his adjutant shiver in their hearts. They were so frightened that they knelt down and saluted. They ignored the fact that there were sailor guards and what they regarded as lowly laborers on the deck.

Externally, Qin is a qualified watchman. Although he is a bit unruly, that is because of his capital. But only these confidants know that in front of them, this adult is definitely the master who controls all life and death.

Therefore, even if you don't know the reason, as long as an adult reprimands you, you can only apologize first.

"Put down the noose!" the captain ordered directly. Although he was kneeling on the ground, his tone and tone were still able to maintain an unquestionable majesty - I have to say, this is also a skill.

The steel cables pulling the Reef are stronger than those of other cargo ships, because even if the metal hull itself is only considered, its tonnage is probably comparable to that of other ships when fully loaded.

At this moment, following the captain's order, the heavy twisting plate turned, and the Neihu warship, which was more than 20 meters long, slowly sank in the drilling cavity. Although it was not as good as the ocean-going warships of the Drifting End or the Slave Traders' Guild, it was The friction sound produced by the collision with the steel rope at this moment was sharp and harsh, and it was also like the scream of a ferocious beast.

Only then did the adjutant dare to raise his head slightly, but he did not dare to look at Qin who was walking towards the side of the ship step by step. He could only look around. He was doubtful: although the platform where they loaded the goods was at the same height as the upper city of the depression lagoon, it was not named As a central community, its location is not the port where Hu Town usually receives extradition passengers.

How did Mr. Qin board the ship after returning from abroad?

The scene just now.

It was like falling from the sky.

"Bang." Until the next sound fell, the adjutant saw the splattered wood chips on the deck. It was an ordinary fishing boat - in such stormy weather, even a wave could destroy it, let alone crossing the lake. overturned in water

Why are you on the ship now?

He was stunned and looked up.

I saw the turbid water column with white water foam rising up from the lake, all the way to the sky. It didn't look too huge from a distance, but when it hit the drilling platform, the shock it brought was overwhelming. People realize that its power is also like a giant dragon...it is a waterspout!

If the foundation of Depression Lagoon Town had not been built with ancient technology, and the steel frame penetrated deep into the ground, the entire town would have been shaken like a boat on the water.

Could it be...the adjutant opened his eyes wide.

His pupils were full of surprise and shock.

Your Excellency really ‘falls from the sky’!

Qin took the towel handed over respectfully by a member of the law enforcement team, wiped his face and threw it aside. He tied his wet long hair behind his head, revealing his originally covered face.

Judging from the outline, he should have been a handsome man, but now only half of his face is left - the remaining half is embedded with an iron surface of metal, and traces of corrosion from some chemical agents can be seen from the adhesive joint. , the skin on the other half is smooth and clean, but you can faintly see traces of scars underneath.

This is the result of great resilience.

The true age cannot be determined from this.

As he climbed onto the deck, his soaked clothes gradually dried and returned to normal. The rainwater hitting the watchman's naked skin was like water pouring on the wall of a hot furnace, releasing streams of white air, which made him feel trapped. Roasted and dried.

"They actually sent you here..." Qin stepped on the fence with one foot and looked down with interest. In the field of vision of others, except for the occasional flickering lights, there was only boundless darkness in the drilling cavity. , but he was able to see through it completely: "My little niece."

"Okay." Lin Jie threw the flashlight back to Chad, and then jumped down from the mast, with a body like a swallow, "What's going on with you, why did you attack the law enforcement team of your own Lake Town... Could it be that you also want to Is it successful?"

"...also?" Chad took it. He had no intention of explaining or arguing, but he noticed the other party's wording.

He knew that this person was the prosecutor of Black Scratch Town - he and Bodu were both technology hunters, so they knew the value of this identity. Although the Inquisitor does not have a fixed seat like an Inner Circle member or a Watcher, he has temporary jurisdiction over all technology hunters during the period of his mission.

If we use the official position in United City as an analogy, this is the so-called "imperial minister".

And due to the special nature of the Technology Hunter organization, the appointment of dedicated internal reviewers is even rarer than the permanent watchman.

Bo and others had speculated that Black Scratch might send out prosecutors, and if they met in the depression lagoon, it would be possible to communicate with them and help them - but Chad did not expect that the Miss Lin Ji mentioned on the certificate, it seemed that She was the only one around.

What role does this play?

"Yeah." Chad responded in a nonchalant manner, even speaking out of turn.

He has such a temperament that if he is not someone he knows well, or is useful and related to someone...then he is not willing to say a word.

Lin Ji frowned slightly.

Among technology hunters, she is definitely the best. Although this hunter named Chad has outstanding results, the evaluation of the file is only promising in the future - this can be seen from the fact that the hunter is still in Lake Town instead of being transferred to the headquarters. See it.

One is the center and the other is the locality.

If you cannot be the confidant of the feudal official, then it is self-evident what choice you should make.

Judging from the appearance of this technology hunter, he doesn't seem to be the type to please the leader.

On the other hand, Lin Ji had already become a prosecutor appointed by the headquarters, although it was temporary... It was not that she looked down on Chad, but she was a little confused as to why the other party didn't even ask her for help.

Even in terms of strength alone, although she has not been promoted to the war level above ten thousand people, she has already shown the potential to be able to travel among thousands of armies, but she cannot sustain it.

And it all depends on itself.

After a short burst, not many people in the entire depression lagoon could stop her. This was also the confidence for Lin Ji to move forward boldly along the way.

As for Chad, although he is also very good, at least he has not reached this level yet.

If it was just like this, he would dare to lead the drifters to attack the cargo ship in Lake Town... Lin Ji admired the other party's courage, but to be honest, even if he succeeded at this moment, he would just lead them all to death.

What a child's play.

Thinking of this, even Lin Ji couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.

But she didn't say much. Instead, she walked alone to the side of the damaged ship and looked at the lake below, looking for an opportunity to abandon the ship.

The Raven was intercepted by Community No. 2, and the hovering height was still about a hundred meters away from the underground river. If you were diving from a high platform at this height... Lin Jie was thinking about what kind of posture he should take to enter the water, so that he can be both elegant and comfortable. Fewer bones to break.

She stretched her muscles, remembered something, and looked at Chad again: "Hey...Hunter, did you see a guard who called himself 'Xiaolu' when you searched the cabin?"

Hearing Lin Jie's question, Chad, who had originally planned to ignore it, trembled, turned to look at her in disbelief, and said: "Little, little... what do you mean, little?"

"It's a small road." The prosecutor replied, but looking at Chad's look, she shook her head with some regret: "Sure enough, I didn't find it..."

"No, what does the person you are talking about look like?" Chad quickly stepped forward.

"Well, he is a guard in Community No. 1. He used to guard the manager there." Being a little frightened by his appearance, Lin Jie first added a word, and then said: "What does he look like..."

She was about to speak, preparing to fluently describe the appearance of the young man who followed her all the way.

But in retrospect, she suddenly discovered that from the first time she met him in the secret room to the time she said goodbye in the cabin, there seemed to be a huge difference in his appearance.

It simply doesn't look like the same person.

But when Lin Jie thought about it carefully, he didn't feel that something was wrong for a moment... The changes in the other party should be happening every moment, deviating a little at a time, so he was completely unaware of it.

When a little adds up to a lot, a qualitative change occurs.

But is this possible?

Lin Jie opened his mouth unconsciously, covered his mouth and took a step back.

She thought about the evidence she had gathered.

Plus the fire that was once ignited by the Raven.

Could it be that I got high on myself...

Or is this my own illusion, just an illusion caused by the changing light and shadow of the environment...or is the other party simply using this light and shadow?

But this kind of sneaking and camouflage technology is probably only available to the woman he is chasing. If Xiaolu is like this, how could he not keep up with her.

Or...

Does he really exist in the world?

"He, he is about twenty-four or five years old..." Lin Jie fell into confusion, pressing his head and thinking about it. Finally, he had an idea and said the characteristics of the other party that had not changed: "By the way, his hair is white. Something as pure white as snow or the moon...eh."

Lin Jie regretted it as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

Because the other party was obviously a child of the Scorched Earth, and it was not unusual for him to have unusual hair color. Even the Chad in front of him was the same type.

It's just that Chad's aircraft head is undoubtedly more individual and arrogant.

This feature doesn't mean anything...

"Uh," unexpectedly, Chad looked at Lin Jie up and down with a complex expression, and then interrupted her: "You don't need to say anything."

"Do you know... no, have you seen him?" The prosecutor's eyes lit up.

"Maybe...but anyway, if he is the person you are talking about, then he will be fine."

Chad didn't want to say anything more.

——Who dares to call him that.

Chad finally understood what Lu Beiyou had been doing during this period...it turned out to be the prosecutor who had hooked up with Black Scratch a long time ago. No wonder the other party would appear on their intended target.

In this way, we can solve the problem of unfair names in our industry...

Rather than being thought to be here to cause damage.

Otherwise, an anti-slavery person who had long since left the technology hunter, a current grassroots hunter, and a... uh, monster, would have no position to interfere with Lake Town's affairs.

The Red King has long been prepared to show off his face. Anyway, it will not cause losses to the other party, especially the overall interests of the technology hunters. Sometimes everyone sells a favor to each other, which can actually deepen the private connection.

Now it has the censor’s endorsement.

But it’s no longer needed.

But Chad still had one last doubt: the examiner had just sent a signal to the battleship Reef above in response...

Isn't this in the plan?

They obviously don't use it...

However, Lin Ji obviously only paid attention to Chad's last words, and did not notice the complicated look behind the technology hunter's originally rigid expression. They were not familiar with each other.

After hearing that the guard was okay, the prosecutor breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart... Or maybe it was because he confirmed the news from another person and knew that he was not a hallucination?

But Lin Ji didn't show it. She looked at the drifter troops evacuating from the Raven, nodded, and grabbed the side of the ship to tip over.

Chad stepped forward to stop him: "Why don't you go this way?"

He pointed in the direction of the community platform.

"The sneak attack can be successful once, but it cannot be successful a second time... not to mention the next time it will be the Reef." Lin Ji smiled, "Now it is impossible to board the No. 0 community from the No. 2 community. The only chance is to go underground. River, on the remaining two boats, waiting..."

She paused.

Finally he said the name:

"Qin."

The inner ring member who named their black scratch, scratched the biggest target after deliberation.

It may also be the only goal.

As a watcher with a silver card, he holds the honor and at the same time actually manages the Depression Lagoon, the largest sub-base of technology hunters in the entire technology hunter. It looks like an autonomous city-state.

It can be said that even among the watchmen at the headquarters who have joined the inner circle, there are only a few who have such authority as him.

Even Alke.

If this sword master excludes his own unparalleled strength, his other status cannot be compared with Qin.

The only one who can be compared with him may be the one far in the far north...

With such power, one must also bear corresponding responsibilities. Now that there is such a stubborn disease in the depression lagoon, the watchman cannot escape his guilt!

But upon hearing this, Chad frowned again: they had hijacked the Raven and had the opportunity to collect all the ship's cargo and liberate the hostages - the finished products, equipment and rescued merchants were the best physical witnesses. certificate.

It's impossible for this censor from Black Scratch not to understand this, but she seems to feel that these things alone...are not enough at all!

Indeed, Watcher Qin is extremely hidden. Even though Chad is already a technology hunter operating in the south, his understanding of this boss is quite superficial. Presumably he will not be easily brought down - but if he really has such a Strength, what's the use of facing him head-on?

However, just when he was hesitating to stop the other party, a thunderous sound came from everyone's ears, from far to near.

It was as if even the heavy rain had been shaken to a halt.

Perhaps, it really stopped - because a shadow intercepted directly above the Raven, covering all the people still on the ship, and gradually expanded.

Like a mountain collapsing.

Battleship Reef!
