Wasteland, an Eternal Tundra Alliance outpost.

"Truce? What's going on? Qi Lin looked at Karachev in front of him with a surprised expression, and his hand holding the cup froze in place.

Not only was he surprised when he heard the news, but even outside the room, there was a burst of arguing and arguing from the players out of surprise and dissatisfaction.

"It's a real-world thing...... An executive of the Mitsui consortium was killed when he came to our Huaxia area for an unannounced visit, and then a guy named Lei Xiaoze happened to be next to him at that time...... Now almost the whole world has decided that Lei Xiaoze killed the person. Karachev said.

"Lei Xiaoze? Last name Lei ...... Is he a member of the Lei family of the consortium alliance? ”

"That's right, he is not only a member of the Lei family, but also an official and active member of the consortium alliance."

"But it's the Mitsui consortium that died, why do we have a truce with Yamato Heavy Industries?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, the Mitsui consortium was now living in a corner of the permafrost tundra and was not involved in the recent series of wars.

"Although the Mitsui Consortium and Daiwa Heavy Industries have been in competition since before the war, they are also Toei people - and, after the assassination of the Mitsui Consortium executives, Daiwa Heavy Industries stood up for the Mitsui Consortium as soon as possible to speak, and the current situation is that the Mitsui Consortium and Daiwa Heavy Industries have stood on the same front and joined forces to put pressure on the consortium alliance."

"Is that murderer that Lei Xiaoze?"

"I don't know, but whether it's or not, it's impossible for the consortium alliance to hand over people - Lei Xiaoze's status in the Lei family is no lower than that of the Mitsui consortium executive who was killed. But the alliance can't be too tough at this time, otherwise it will be bad if the Mitsui consortium and Daiwa Heavy Industries are forced to really form an alliance, so there will be such a temporary truce agreement. ”

"In other words, this situation is the product of the 'compromise' between the three parties?"

"That's pretty much what it means, but this situation won't last long, the people above are still arguing, and when they finally come to a conclusion, this battle will definitely continue, but I don't know how long they will be arguing." Karachev said, walked over to the table, and poured himself a cup of coffee that had already cooled down.

"Yamato Heavy Industries is dragging, the army on the alliance's side has been assembled, and if they delay for one more day, the alliance will waste countless materials...... War has always been a costly thing. Qi Lin said.

"There's no way, we can only be dragged along, otherwise, if the originally neutral Mitsui Consortium directly participates in the war and stands on the side of Daiwa Heavy Industries, we have no chance of winning at all." Karachev said as he took a sip of his coffee.

Qi Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then took a big sip of coffee silently - although he was now a powerful third-level evolutionary, although the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand could take people's lives three thousand meters away, and although he also controlled an entire steel city in his hands, no matter what, he was still a small person, just like the hundreds and nearly thousands of people in the entire camp, he was a pawn that was insignificant to the overall situation and could be sacrificed at any time.

Perhaps many times, the wheels of history have been pushed by small people like them. But more often than not, they are tied to the wheel of history and involuntarily roll forward, and if they want to resist, they will be immediately crushed into powder - of course, if the person who wants to resist is strong enough, maybe he can make this heavy wheel jolt before being crushed.

Qi Lin didn't want to be crushed, but he didn't want to fall into the dark mire with this wheel that was heading all the way to the abyss.

……

……

Due to the truce issued by the Alliance, all the Alliance forces that had previously assembled in the Gray Ridge Mountains retreated to the Alliance's own defense area, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yamato Heavy Industries swallowed a large area of neutral areas that were originally sandwiched between the borders of the two sides in one fell swoop, and began to build fortifications frantically.

They also knew that once the war of words above was over, the Alliance's army would definitely make a comeback.

On the alliance side, although both regular troops and mercenaries have retreated to the back of the defense line, a large number of weapons and equipment are still transported to the front line every day, and the number of players stranded in the front line area is also increasing.

During this time, Qi Lin took the time to return to the 147th outpost......

As soon as he stepped into the outpost, he slipped to Persephone's office, and at this time, Persephone was sitting alone behind her desk, reading the defense report of the outpost during this time.

"Why are you back?" Seeing Qi Lin, Persephone's pair of eyes instantly narrowed into a crescent moon, "Shouldn'......t it be the taste of eating marrow?"

"Ahem, can't I just come and take a look? Anyway, now the front line will not be able to fight for a while and a half. Qi Lin sat down on Persephone's desk with a big grin, picked up a pen on the table and played with it, but at this time, he noticed that there were several bright roses thrown in the trash can next to the table, and a delicate card, as for what was written on the card, Qi Lin naturally could guess without looking.

"This was sent by that Arthur?" Qi Lin pointed to the contents of the trash can.

"What, you're jealous?" Persephone stood up and walked to Qi Lin's side, stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around Qi Lin's waist from behind, and pressed her head against his back.

"I didn't ...... It's just that to be able to get such fresh roses in this hellish place, that guy must have spent a lot of money, right? It seems that he is really in love with you. ”

"Giggle......" Persephone suddenly let out a chuckle, "what if I told you that the guy gave each of his lovers an identical bouquet of roses?" Do you still feel that way? ”

Qi Lin didn't speak, but turned his head and put his nose to Persephone's neck socket, greedily sniffing the unique fragrance of the other party's body, and at the same time, a hand that was not very easy to part with also reached into the hem of Persephone's clothes......

Just when the plot of 404 was about to take place, a slight but rapid footstep was caught by Qi Lin's ears, and he immediately let go of Persephone, whose body had become weak in his arms, and jumped off the desk, straightening his messy clothes.

"Smack!"

The door to the office was opened directly, and Arthur Lee walked in with a large handful of white lilies—

"Fanny, I heard that you don't like roses, and I managed to get these unmutated Siberian lilies, and this white flower is so well matched by your elegant and noble temperament...... How did you end up here? ”

Seeing Qi Lin, Arthur Li froze and froze in place.

"Huh? Mr. Arthur, long time no see. Qi Lin greeted him with a smile.

"You...... Fanny...... What are you doing?! Arthur Lee looked at Qi Lin, and then at Persephone, when he found that Persephone's original ponytail had been draped over his shoulders, and his face was also covered with an abnormal flush, Arthur Lee instantly felt an uncontrollable anger surging into his heart.
