67. Central Continent
Chen Liuwang's men stripped off the spies' shirts.
Above the nipple on the left side of his chest, a dark red mark of hearts was revealed only in a playing card! There are also 3 smaller markers below the hearts - squares, clubs, and spades.
This mark was only possessed by the Emperor of the Ancient Iron City, which is the best proof of his service to the Faceless God of War.
This scar-like tattoo has been there for a long time, and it doesn't look like it was just done.
King Chen Liu knew that under the emperor called the "Faceless God of War", there were 4 generals, each of whom was crowned with the 4 marks in the playing cards.
Slice, clubs, spades, hearts...... It also represents the subordination of their subordinates, and once they are imprinted, this mark cannot be eliminated at all.
"Well, sure enough! To put it this way...... Now, you answer me, why did you come to us from thousands of miles away? ”
Since this mark Chen Liuwang recognizes it, it is right! The facts are in front of you, this guy is indeed a spy sent by Gu Tiecheng!
"I was sent to track down a man, a guy who stole our Ancient Iron City technology, and is said to have fled here...... However, I have not been able to trace his exact hiding place...... I was arrested by you. ”
The thug said with a sad face.
"Well, your technician? What kind of person is that? What technology did he steal from you? Chen Liuwang's face turned indifferent.
"I don't know much about the specifics...... My superiors told me that it was an exiled scholar who had stolen our weapons, and it was said that he had taken a prototype of one of our devices, a small laser emitter...... His name is Cook. ”
"Cook!" Chen Liuwang understood at once.
“……”
"Hmph, you're unlucky...... I bumped into it. ”
Chen Liuwang sneered - of course he knew Cook.
Because, that's what he sent back a long time ago, it was he who single-handedly planned Cook's escape, and he was hiding in Underground Farm 33 at the moment.
"Keep him in the dungeon first, and then ask him slowly when I get back! If you want to do it, don't kill him. "King Chen Liuwang ordered one of his men—a large man with a steel prosthetic in his left arm.
"Yes!" The big man replied.
It wasn't long before he was about to set off, and King Chen Liuwang and the "Raven" took the narrow and dangerous land route first, going to the "Sunset Town" in the Central Continent to join Daddy.
……
Inside the town at the foot of the Twin Hills.
At night, the red candlelight in the basement of a building was blown by a breeze, and the light and shadow swayed on the opposite wall.
In the hallway, a figure appeared.
The sneaky figure, very burly, moved gently behind a guard. Suddenly, he pulled out the sledgehammer that was hiding behind him and slammed it into the back of the guard's neck.
"Boom!" The guard didn't even snort, and fell to the ground and fainted.
"Whew! Whew—" The burly figure let out a long breath and pulled down the turban covering his face.
He pulled out the guard's key, who had fallen to the ground, and opened the iron door to the basement with a "twist". In the iron gate, the spy sent by Gu Tiecheng was curled up in the corner, but he was staring at the big man with two eyes, a little frightened and inexplicable.
"You? You're not that ......."
He trembled and pointed at the big man. He recognized it, wasn't this the leader of the guards who had imprisoned him here after the interrogation?
Could this man have come to save him? He wondered, but he didn't know this person before.
"Shhhh As he spoke, the big man held out an arm to the crouched fellow—a pair of steel prosthetic limbs.
The spy was stunned, hesitated, and immediately touched the cold iron arm in his hand.
That's right, this person is none other than the "Iron Claw Tiger".
Ever since he got the mask of that red-clothed demon, he has been thinking about how to use it to get the first pot of gold in his life! His plan was to go to the Mine City or the Ancient Iron City in the Central Continent, a large city with a large population and extremely prosperous......
When he gets there, he'll secretly look for buyers on the black market and sell this weird treasure.
The technology there is much more advanced than that in the west, and there are many potential buyers, so there will always be people who know the goods.
And he's also among the 50 people who have been tempered by the rocks.
At this time, he felt the power of his body, surging, he felt that he was extremely strong, and he was not afraid of any opponent! Even if he gets there, he can still live in peace.
Just when he was triumphantly calculating, it happened that the opportunity came!
He planned to release this spy and then let him take a line, maybe he could find a suitable buyer on the side of the ancient iron city faster.
Now that he has made up his mind, he begins to actively prepare.
He was the jailer who guarded the spy, and it was all too easy to hide from others. Moreover, he knew that his father and his two leaders were going to travel far away, and only one leader, Sandov, was left behind......
This is a great opportunity, if not now, but when?
Soon, the figures of the two people disappeared into the night......
……
In the distance, you can already see huge mountains.
Over the course of a few weeks, Joyna and Xiao Wu traveled eastward, taking ships through the strait to the east, heading straight for the Guge Mountains, the hinterland of the Central Continent.
Before the ship even set sail, they had already discovered the problem, there were too many people and fewer vehicles.
They didn't expect that it was difficult to find a big boat by the sea, and a big boat that could fit a few cars could not be found at all.
A few days later, I finally found a small boat that barely fit 4 cars, and set sail.
There was no way, so they had to let go of a large part of the people and let them go back. The remaining thugs, along with researcher Long Ping, drove four cars and hit the road with supplies.
After setting foot on the land of the Central Continent, they found that this place was very different from the wild wilderness of the west.
Not only is the scenery very different, but even the folk customs are also different.
The vegetation here has begun to revive in some places, and although you can occasionally see almost buried dilapidated cities and abandoned buildings on the ground, there is more green and other colors, and even the air smells fresh.
During their journey, they also encountered several sparsely populated villages and towns, all of which were built around many tall and dilapidated buildings around them, and most of the people had their own farms, but all the villages were without exception, with tall, pointed horses, showing that these places were not so peaceful.
Not far away, they saw a scene that stunned them—dozens of huge ships, buried in the sand and hills.
Some ships have huge oars at the tail and huge iron anchors hanging from the bow. Some boats, like the severed arms of giants, are half buried in the sand and half lie on their sides on the ground.
Moreover, the power parts of these ships have traces of being dismantled, and the hull is full of large holes. Many of these dismantled parts have been transported to nearby villages or farms, where they have fed generations of people for hundreds of years.
Joyna recognized it as a huge cruise ship and freighter. In terms of volume, these are giant ships with a displacement of more than 500,000 tons. Hundreds of years ago, it was apparently a busy port.
"Maybe the land under our feet used to be the ocean!" Joyna said with emotion.
