Chapter 1328: Exploring the Wilderness (44)

At the same time, Great Britain, the second imperial capital - the urban area of London.

"Hmph. Vivien frowned deeply as she stepped out of [Explorer's] cabin.

In front of her was a bleak and dilapidated landscape, a far cry from the bustling city of London that had once been.

Hijacked by the enemy, the Explorer escaped from the castle of the Eastern Knights and sped through the streets of London, wreaking havoc and crashing countless buildings along the way. Vivien looked at a rough estimate that at least a hundred buildings had been involved in the incident, and the shockwaves raised by the Explorer through the streets were more widespread and implicated. From time to time, the wreckage of the building could be heard with the terrible screams of people, almost like the scene after some kind of natural disaster.

Three hundred? No, I'm afraid there were more than a thousand dead and wounded. In short, this time it's a big one.

"Alas. Dongfang Li Daoyuan also sighed and walked out of the cabin, "No matter what our enemies are planning, they have at least half succeeded this time. The existence of [Explorer] has been exposed, and it has caused such a great public hazard. If this matter is known to the media, His Majesty King Arthur will probably be blamed. Under the pressure of the masses, the research plan had to be shelved. "The Kingdom of Great Britain is not as fragile as you think, Mr. Li Daoyuan. Vivien replied with a blank face, "We'll think of a solution." Whenever she was thoughtful, the expression on her face was as calm as water.

"Listen," she said with a calm face, as if she were a colleague, "this accident was just an unfortunate laboratory accident. And what caused this accident was a terrorist attack by the Twilight cultists. The blame lies entirely with the cultists, and has nothing to do with us. We are unanimous in our confessions, and it is enough to declare it to the outside world.

And this [Explorer] is not a special ship, it is just an underground mining machine.

It is clear that our enemies do not want us to gain access to the technology for the development of underground resources, so they do everything possible to hinder us. However, for the sake of the future development of Great Britain, resource development is a very important part, and it must not be put on hold because of a single terrorist attack. "I see. Li Daoyuan listened knowingly and nodded frequently.

"Mr. Li Daoyuan. Vivien turned her head to look at the river crab people: "Lianyin and I are in charge of taking this boat away." Please go back and replicate a ship with the same shape using similar technology, but focus its work on [Underground Mining]. We need a camouflage so that the plan can be excused when asked. The real plan is kept secret and is not to be revealed to anyone. "Got it. I'll take care of that. The Orientals carefully dragged the stone statue of Prime Minister Merlin out of the cabin, "But what about you? Where is the rest of the refurbishment and testing of such a large ship?" Vivien turned to look at Merlin's female assistant, "Lianyin, you and I use teleportation to move this big guy elsewhere." You already know the destination, right?" "Do you really want to do this?" She knew Vivien was going to take [Explorer] back to her own secret research institute to assemble it.

But Vivien's lab is also her home, where the children live. If even that place was exposed and attacked by the enemy, wouldn't it be tantamount to putting the children in danger as well?

"Trust me, it won't be a problem. Vivien said indifferently.

Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, and the sound came from inside Fort Eielsen. Lianyin turned her head curiously, and saw that the location of Prime Minister Merlin's research institute was thunderous, as if some kind of mechanism with a strong current had been activated.

"Well deserved. Vivien sneered.

"What's going on?" "I knew that in addition to the idea of the [Explorer], the enemy would also attack the [Desolable Armor] in the research institute. They killed two birds with one stone by stealing the ship both to delay our plans and to steal the finished distractable turbidity armor. But they were naïve. I'd already laid a trap in the armored storage room, and anyone other than the four of us who tried to get into it and steal it would be scorched by the powerful electric trap of millions of volts. "Hey, don't you leave a living mouth?" Lianyin looked surprised: "Wouldn't it be better to leave a living mouth for interrogation?" "It's useless, judging from the previous suicide attacks on the research institute by these guys, all the people they sent were dead. Even if they can survive, they will find a way to bite their tongues and kill themselves, and they will not leak any information to us. Vivien pressed her hand on the [Explorer's] hull and urged, "Don't talk about it, get this thing out of here, if more people see it and cause a big riot, things will only get worse." In desperation, Lianyin had no choice but to stretch out a hand and press it on the hull of the Explorer, meditating on the destination of the teleportation.

"Three, two, one, start teleporting!" Vivien counted down, and two high-level magicians cast spells at the same time, taking the entire ship away in an instant. The Explorer vanished without a trace, leaving behind a large empty crater in the ground, as if some kind of giant beast had made a big fuss in the city.

A rescue team of hundreds of British knights arrived at this time, but most of the people present didn't even know what was going on.

"Good luck. Li Daoyuan sighed again, and with his two huge and clumsy crab pincers, he carefully carried Merlin's stone statue and walked in the direction of Fort Elsen.

At the same time, Cairo, Egypt, on a certain construction site.

Pounds! pounds! pounds!

Elaine, the White Bear, wielded a heavy sledgehammer and smashed a thigh-thick stake into the solid rocky ground bit by bit.

This is one of the foundations of ordinary houses, and if you lay a solid foundation, you can keep the house stable and not collapse for hundreds of years. However, this ancient method of piling wooden piles is not very suitable for mechanical mass completion, one is a cost problem, and the other is due to the special geological structure of Cairo, and the depth of piling needs to be controlled by human hands. The machine cannot correctly perceive the feel of piling, and often drives the pile too deep to damage the rocky floor, or drives the pile too shallow to strengthen the foundation.

Elaine was taught to stop driving the piles as soon as he felt the grip on the ground, and after dozens of exercises, the site supervisor was relieved to let the stupid white bear man do the physically demanding and delicate work. By the time Elaine finished driving the fifth stake on the site, it was almost noon.

"Whew. "The heat made Elaine feel particularly uncomfortable. He had stripped naked and had only a pair of pants left, but he was still sweating hot.

As soon as he saw the White Bear Man stop wiping his sweat, the overseer immediately scolded: "Stupid bear, what are you stealing, what are you stealing! There are still five stakes left to beat! Don't even think about eating at noon until you finish your work!" "Got it, got it!" Elaine hurriedly swung her hammer and continued to work, slamming at the stake again!

"Haven't you finished your work yet?" asked the Demon Swordsman Solar, who also walked over as well.

He seemed to have done his job, and although he was also hot and sweaty, his face was more relaxed than Elaine's. He put down the sledgehammer in his hand and asked gently, "Do you want to help, my friend?" Elaine hesitated: "Uh, but-" "Hey, don't help him!" The overseer ruthlessly stopped, "That's his own job, what's the point of you helping him? Elaine wiped her sweat again, and continued to beat the stake rhythmically: "This is a kind of forging and exercise, just let me do it." "Well, it's good to be active and active. The Demon Swordsman glanced at the White Bear Man, then shrugged his shoulders and walked away helplessly: "Then you keep working hard, just don't break your body." "Uh-huh!" Elaine whispered in agreement, continuing to drive his stakes.

Pound. Pound. Pound. Pound. The sound of percussion sounded rhythmically, then spread out, gradually blending into the noisy construction noise of the construction site. Elaine finished piling the other stake and walked towards the other one. After getting used to the way of exerting force, he gradually became much easier, so his work efficiency also increased. Elaine may be stupid by nature and slow to learn, but if he is given enough time to learn a craft, he can do just as well.

Pound. Pound. Pound. Pound. The hammer continued to fall rhythmically on top of the stake, nailing the stout wood into the ground. The construction noise at the construction site gradually decreased, because it was already noon, and most of the workers stopped what they were doing and went to eat boxes.

Grunt—and Elaine was the only one who continued to work, his stomach rumbling in protest, his hands and feet numb, and his throat even more dry. But Elaine subconsciously ignored so much and continued to do the work he had to do.

"Look at you, kid, you're working hard. "The overseer didn't go to lunch, he kept watching Elaine. The dark-skinned, scruffy middle-aged man sat on a large building block at the construction site, looking the young white bear man up and down with interest.

He looked at Elaine for a long time before he finally asked, "Actually, with your strange strength and your unbeatable body, it shouldn't be difficult to make money as a bounty hunter." Is it really necessary to run to the construction site where this bird doesn't poop to do heavy physical work?" Elaine replied as she kept driving the pile.

"Yes, you came here to work just for exercise, not for money at all?" The overseer smiled slyly: "Okay, we only need to send you a lunch box, and you can not be paid." Elaine immediately became anxious: "Dad said no, you can't work for nothing! Since it's a job, you have to get paid!" "Alas, you really listen to your father, it's really a ghost." The White Bear Man was even more anxious, and his roar doubled: "Yi, Elaine is not a ghost! Elaine is already an adult!" "Okay, you are not a ghost, no. The overseer sneered and coaxed the white bear, but he had bad intentions in his heart: "So, since you are already an adult, this kind of simple work that only a little ghost can do should not be suitable for you, right?" He began to trap Elaine: "-Do you want me to arrange a better job for you?" ＂
