Chapter 357: The Return of the Legend (Extra 23, 24)
Silver marching ants dig underground every day.
Shenmu City's plans were prepared when Link first arrived at Whistling Castle.
And convincing the Shadu military to set up a new department related to Inhumans was also in Link's plan early.
After all, the open beta will start on October 1st, and players will enter Wasteland on a large scale, whether it is causing social problems or security issues, it will be a tricky thing for the Shadu military.
So in the past three months, the plans formulated by Link have been closely linked one by one, in order to lay out the entire 1.0 version of the Advent of the Holy Son and radiate his power beyond Shadu.
Thinking about the process of these three months, Nakshatra suddenly sweated profusely, and the clothes behind him were all soaked.
The boss became a member of the Shadu Military Committee three months ago, the arrival of the Inhuman was in early October, and the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department was also decided by the military committee meeting after the arrival of the Inhuman. But at present, the construction period of such a large-scale underground building is definitely measured in months, which means that the chairman has thought of these things before the military council meeting......
"It's terrible, the president has foreseen everything now months ago."
The constellations travel through this underground structure, and its wide terrain and various buildings that have been built give the nakshatra a strong sense of familiarity. Soon, the stars thought of what it looked like, this was like another underground black market!
Now the stars are shaking in their hearts.
As the first official visitor to the underground world of Shenmu City, Nakshatra understood the grand vision of the president, apparently to make this place another underground black market. And in the middle of this underground black market is the largest building, the Shadu Military Intelligence Department.
After the stars were incorporated into the Lin Foundation, they were all aware of the contradictions between the Platinum Hotel and the Lin Foundation. However, after Link took over, he integrated the forces and did not take action against the Platinum Hotel. And the Platinum Hotel was also afraid of Link's power in Shadu, so he didn't act rashly. The highest-level wanted warrant for three months now seems to feel more like a piece of waste paper.
It's just that Nakshatra knows that Derek and the president are both top 'killers'. On the surface, both sides seem to have made no moves, maintaining the hard-won peace, but in fact, they are planning behind the scenes, ready to deal a fatal blow to the other side.
Nakshatra's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand the president's plan.
The president often said that Inhumans are the biggest stars on the stage of Wasteland, and whoever can control Inhumans will be able to control the future of Wasteland. The Shadu Military Intelligence Department is obviously an official version of the 'Platinum Hotel' built by the chairman using the identity of the Shadu military, which is used to fight the Shadu Platinum Hotel controlled by Derek, and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle!
And the Inhumans perform various tasks, and there is also an amazing benefit, that is, its immortal characteristic, even if the mission fails and is killed, it will still come back after 10 minutes of resurrection. It is far more oppressive than all kinds of homegrown killers. Once this force develops, the Platinum Hotel is a younger brother in front of the MI.
Looking at the empty underground world, a sentence couldn't help but come to the mind of the stars - the war has begun!
Just when the stars were full of emotion, Link continued to make various plans in Wuthering Castle.
Although he now has most of the right to speak in Shadu, the Wasteland hidden main line [Mandala's Revenge] mission has only been completed 2/7, and the remaining five bigwigs are either in Dragon City and Faye or are the controllers of the great forces of Wasteland. In Shadulink, he can get up little by little and use the information gap to kill Alonso and Moros, but now every move will attract attention, and Alonso's death has also reminded several other bigwigs, and the security forces around him have increased significantly.
If you want to take their lives, large-scale confrontation is inevitable.
So Link must make the Lin consortium bigger and stronger! to deal with the difficulties that lie ahead.
Just as Link was thinking about his next steps, the doorknob of his office was suddenly opened.
Entering the Whistling Castle without being announced, Link instantly gave birth to a strong killing intention, but the murderous aura that permeated the next second was blown away by the breeze and disappeared.
The wooden door of the office opened, and the visitor walked straight to the reception table, brewed a cup of black tea, and drank it all.
Putting down the teacup, John stared at Link with a slight frown: "You don't seem surprised at all to see me coming?" ”
Link raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards John: "At first, it was a killing intent, but I thought that my subordinates would not open the door and enter without a message, and if it was an enemy, it would not be possible to escape the perception of the silver marching ants full of whistling castles. And you're the only one who can sneak into the Whooring Castle and not be treated as an enemy by the Silver Marching Ants. ”
Link sat across from John, made himself a cup of black tea, took a sip, and said, "Things are going well, right?" ”
John breathed a sigh of relief: "It's going well, there are no twists and turns on the road." I saw that the Noshi Sacred Tree was already quite large, and the druids had moved in. Not far from the sacred tree, a city has begun to take shape...... In other words, in order to fulfill your promise, the expenses are a bit large. ”
Link waved his hand and smiled, "It's not just for you. The Cult of the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang have been entrenched in the Gobi Desert for decades, and have been a major problem in Shadu. Moreover, stealing the energy pillar before, causing the Inhumans to come on a large scale, if as expected, they also recruited a group of Inhumans, if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, when they develop, the sand will definitely be ruined. ”
Although Link said so, in John's understanding, these statements were too false.
If the Cult of the Mechanicus had been so easy to eradicate, it would have been wiped out decades ago.
Twenty years ago, when he first came to Shadu, the Cult of the Mechanicus had invaded.
The Cult of the Mechanics carries all kinds of unheard-of technology and technology, and all kinds of mecha are like cosmic soldiers, and the conventional military forces of Shadu are being defeated one after another. In the end, it was the support of the Free Federation's Dragon City and Faye, and then the various forces of Shadu, and finally made a concerted effort to kill the Mechanicus back to the Gobi.
At that time, the Platinum Hotel in Shadu was also one of the participating forces, and John experienced it himself.
Now, twenty years later, although Shadu's military strength has improved, it is certainly not as large as the Cult of the Mechanicus.
Being able to sneak in on a small scale and successfully find a way to revive Martha is already a blessing in luck.
Link actually thought about continuing to attack the Cult of the Mechanics in the future, it was too unrealistic.
Shan Link is right about one thing, after so many years of development, the power accumulated by the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang has become stronger and stronger, and if they don't do it, the other party will sooner or later try to fight them.
"But don't worry, Shadu really did something to the Mechanics Cult, and that was after Martha woke up, and it's my business, and it has nothing to do with you. When the time comes, you can take Martha away and fly high and live a good life. ”
When John heard this, his brow furrowed slightly.
Picking up the teacup, he looked at the black tea in the teapot on the table.
During his absence, did John drink green tea every day? How can he speak with a strong smell of green tea.
"Don't worry, as long as you can revive Martha, I will help you fight the problems of the Mechanic God Sect."
After John finished speaking, he put down the teacup and leaned forward slightly: "It's already mid-October, when are you going to do it?" ”
Link got up, walked to the window, looked at the slightly yellowed trees in the garden, and exclaimed, "The leaves are already yellowing, and winter is not far away." In winter, in order to maintain the right temperature for the brain in the tank, the daily energy consumption of the mechanical city will increase. The amount of energy allocated to the combat state will be reduced. If we attack at this time, the resistance and danger we encounter will be about 10 percent smaller. ”
Link looked out the window, turned his back to John, and continued to talk: "And in half a month, Shenmu City will be fully operational." The Shadu Military Intelligence Office under Shenmu City will also be put into use, and powerful Inhumans can come here to receive tasks issued by the military, and the contributions obtained can be exchanged for various materials, intelligence, weapons and even military ranks. Leaving half a month for Inhumans to adapt to the run-in, in mid-November, we officially infiltrated the Machine City and used the Immortality Project to awaken Martha. ”
John's heart was thrilled when he heard this, and at the same time, Gu Bo showed a surprised expression on his face.
"You set up this Shadu Military Intelligence Service to prepare for a fight with the Platinum Hotel?"
John is the founding father of the Platinum Hotel Sadu, and knows the rules and history of the Platinum Hotel well.
The MI in Link's mouth is like a copy of the Platinum Hotel.
The only difference is that the MI is a department of the Shadu military, which has an official endorsement and belongs to the agency under the sun.
With John's acuity, he could already imagine the opening of the MIA, and the endless stream of natives and aliens who came to hand over the mission.
"You're completely desperate, once the MI is opened, killers, bounty hunters, the military, and Inhumans will all flock to the Platinum Hotel, and the Platinum Hotel will not have any new blood supply. You're trying to drive the Platinum Hotel to a dead end, aren't you afraid that they will die with you? ”
Link chuckled, "Is there anything more severe than a highest-level wanted warrant?" ”
John was silent.
Back then, he was tired of fighting and killing, and wanted to retire, but he was asked by the Platinum Hotel to perform one last mission before he could cut all ties with the Platinum Hotel. And the last task John received was to kill the infant illegitimate son of Augustin Frank, the supreme commander of the Night, and blame it on Dragon City, causing a split within the Free Federation.
John is the most legendary and top killer of the Platinum Hotel, but he can't do it if he asks him to do it to an infant child.
John then refuses the mission, but gets a highest-level wanted warrant and is killed by the Platinum Hotel.
On the run, Moros offers a little help and gets a promise from John.
John and his wife fled back to the island in the countryside to hide their names, and searched the Platinum Hotel to no avail, and no more killers were dispatched in the follow-up.
It wasn't until five years ago that John's news of Overwatch Island leaked out that various rookies in the killer world approached John and wanted to challenge him to gain fame.
Just as he was sparring with rising stars, someone was angry about the loss, sneaked into John's house and shot John's wife, Martha.
Enraged, John eliminated all the killers who came to challenge Watch Island, and shocked the entire wasteland for a while.
The dark cloud of the First Killer once again looms over the entire Wasteland after a few years.
Only the killers who competed in the challenge the day before escaped by boat after failing the challenge, including the top two on the current killer list, The Shining and Nightmare.
Since then, John has disappeared with his 'dead' wife, and no one has been able to find out about them.
John remembered the past, his eyes changed several times, and finally they all converged into one sentence: "The highest level of wanted warrant may not be of much importance to you, but it will bring bad luck to those around you." ”
John's words made Link also silent for a moment, and finally looked at the huge blood cocoon waiting to hatch in the garden, and said firmly: "Instead of worrying about retaliation, it is better to strike first!" ”
Looking at Link's determined back, John felt a sense of trance for a while, as if he saw his younger self.
But the difference is that this time he has a feeling of inexplicability in his heart, maybe Link can really do it.
For the next few days, John stayed at Wuthering Castle, and his daily work was to wipe his vegetative wife's body, massage her muscles, and prepare for her awakening.
In addition, John and Link practiced against each other every day, and John was surprised to find that during the time he left, Link did not relax his cultivation, and his strength was further than before he left. Now I have to show seven or eight points of strength to withstand Link's stormy and changeable attacks.
Of course, this is only the result of a head-on discussion between the two, and does not represent the true strength of the two.
John is characterized by his top-notch infiltration and assassination abilities at night;
And Link's characteristics......
Versatile skills, an army of pets, and money.
If you really start a battle and give full play to your advantages, it's really hard to say who loses and who wins between the two.
"I've been practicing for three days, can you tell me now how to break the shackles brought by the realm and reach a higher level, right?" Link asked with a handful of sweat.
John gasped, stared at Link and said, "Do you know when I broke through?" ”
Link shook his head, John never said that. And Link thought that John was legendary from the beginning of the creation of this character by the brain.
"Five years ago, during the Battle of Overwatch Island, I killed more than 100 of the top or famous killers of the time, and I learned the legendary skill [Man in the Mirror] in the battle with different styles of killers. After settling in Martha's affairs, I found that I had broken through the previous shackles and reached a new realm. ”
As soon as John finished speaking, Link's system prompted.
[You triggered the quest [I Am Legendary], accept/decline]
[Quest Hint: You learned from John how to rank Legendary, kill 5 Boss NPCs at least level 50 to create a Legendary(S) skill]
[Quest Reward: Legendary Template, Legendary Random Reward x1]
After reading the task, Link suddenly felt a little in a trance.
There were only a few hints for this mission, but Link knew that this task would be difficult!
