There won't be a second time in Chapter 255

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

Two steam ships emitting black smoke cut through the rain and docked steadily at the docks of Windmill Village, and the violent waves and hurricanes seemed to be tamed by them, and they did not seem to have any effect on them.

The people on the dock stared in amazement at the two steel monsters that were not afraid of the rainstorm, the shape of this ship was completely beyond their understanding, there was not a single sail on it, not even a mast, but only a chimney emitting black smoke.

After the gangway was lowered, Edmund led a group of men in white coats to rush down, Edmund asked the village chief Upp Slap who had come to greet him where Harden was now, and after pulling a local villager as a guide, he hurried away with the medical staff.

Although William was also worried about Harden's safety, he still thanked the village chief of Upp Slap and the villagers, and arranged for Danbier to stay and exchange bonuses with a group of villagers about the next mooring, and he followed Edmund and the others to chase after them.

……

When Harden was dazed, he felt someone tugging on the parachute bag in his hand, he suddenly opened his eyes, blood loss and concussion made him see things clearly, and he tried to identify it for a while before he could see the person in front of him clearly.

"William?" asked Harden, in an almost indiscernible voice.

"It's me, Harden," William said softly, "they say you have been refusing to let go of your umbrella bag, and you must hand it over to me yourself, and now that I'm here, you can let go, and the doctor will treat you." ”

When Harden heard this, a string in his heart finally loosened, let go of his hand, and fell asleep completely.

William had a lot of words and questions to ask Harden, but he knew what was most important now, so he pulled Edmund and the others, who were also full of questions, out of the ward and handed the place to the doctor.

……

"Severe blood loss, fractures, internal bleeding, concussion...... "Wood, who had served as a ship doctor in the Pirates, looked at the diagnosis report in his hand and whispered to William, "It's a miracle that he's alive." ”

William exhaled as he looked through the small window in the door and looked inside at Harden, who was lying on the hospital bed and tied up like a mummy.

"How did the injuries come about?" asked William.

Knowing what William was really trying to ask, Wood flipped a page of the report and replied, "He's had man-made scars on his body, and he ...... it." ”

"And what?" William frowned.

"And there are signs of torture on his body. Wood shut his mouth.

William is a very deep man in the city, and rarely lets his emotions be exposed, but he is often in contact with him, and the more intelligent members of the old team still know some of his habits.

William's eyelids drooped slightly when he heard his words, and Wood understood that William was actually angry in his heart now.

However, despite his anger, William was still very organized when he ordered people to do things.

William instructed Edmund, "Go and get rid of the 'King of the Sea', who has bitten my men and has been causing trouble in this village for many years, and I don't want to hear of it being active again." ”

Edmund answered, and then left, he also heard from the people of the village about the appearance of the king of the offshore sea when he rescued Harden, even if there was no William's order, with his character, he would have slaughtered the big hairtail.

William then instructed Danpier: "Go and get all the steamers back, and don't let them linger too long in this village and leak too much information." ”

Although the new steamship cannot be hidden for a lifetime, and William is not prepared to hide them for too long, William is still not prepared to expose them to the world prematurely, and the relevant information related to its manufacture is highly classified under William's banner, involving steam engines and sonic transmitters, which are all manufactured in Kalmar City and Hongye Village Shipyard, two of William's birthplaces and base camps.

William hoped that the new steam engine would have the opportunity to play an unexpected role before it was officially unveiled in front of the world and noticed by the world.

If it weren't for the heavy rain and worrying about Harden's safety, for the sake of speed, William would not have taken a new steamboat to Windmill Village this time.

That night, Harden woke up from a coma and was immediately reported to William.

In a hurry in the corridor, William entered the ward with a solemn face, glanced at the people in the ward, and then ordered: "Everyone except Wood goes out." ”

The disappearance of the new steamship that Harden was riding is unknown, and William does not know what the real situation is, there may be anything behind this, and William's first reaction is to block the news to avoid bad news from spreading and causing panic.

Wood was left because Harden's physical condition required a doctor to accompany him.

After everyone else left, Harden said weakly: "Golden Lion, it's Golden Lion Shiki, William, it's him who attacked us." ”

William, who was moving a chair to Harden's bedside, paused before returning to normal and sitting down, while Wood's expression changed dramatically.

At William's behest, Harden recounted what happened during this time, from beginning to end, including how they were captured by the Golden Lion Shiki, and the conflict that occurred in the face of the arrogant Golden Lion Shiki at the banquet, which led to the killing of some students and crew members, and the imprisonment of Harden himself.

Harden's breathing became a little short as he said this, and William hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"I betrayed Barbarossa because he was a bastard who didn't care about the lives of the whole ship," Harden glared at William, "but I'm not a man who betrays his lord's glory, and I won't do it again." ”

"I know," William said gently, patting the back of Harden's hand with his other hand and repeating, "I know." ”

Harden also talked about how he escaped from the hands of the Golden Lion Shiki, it turned out that Chloe and Crick acted in a play together, Crick had been providing information in front of the Golden Lion Shiji for a period of time before he arrived in the East China Sea, acting like an ambitious villain who wanted to become the new overlord of the East China Sea with the support of the Golden Lion Shiki, so as to sell the master for glory.

It's a pity that Crick's intelligence is far less important than Chloe, who once served as the director of the National Security Agency.

After arriving in the East China Sea, Crick, who seemed impatient, chose to attack Chloe, and showed Harden's identity to the golden lion Shiki, which was not as important as Clowe said, forcing Chloe to prove his innocence and kill Harden, and later Crick triumphantly threw Harden's body into the forest to feed the beasts, as if to cut off any luck from Chloe.

"It was the return of life that helped me hide from the attention of others," Harden coughed and said weakly, "When Chloe made his move, he warned me once, and Crick later told me the plan, and where he hid the parachute, and I escaped those beasts and jumped straight away." ”

Although Harden's life return has not been practiced to the point of being able to manipulate hair, it is enough to suppress the life characteristics for a while.

"Inside the umbrella bag, there is a secret letter written by Chloe, who he said is written in ciphers, and the translation method is known only to the top of the Security Bureau. Harden said. [.]
