Section 144 Lao Dong
For the first time in the history of the Roma team, everyone kept their mouths shut and no one spoke.
Approaching the camp, Rom noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and that Ammobik was patrolling everywhere, and they were subjected to several waves of interrogations along the way.
He had a hint of foreboding.
When they returned to the camp, everyone was stunned by the miserable sight before them.
The camp was littered with countless light armors, staggered and scarred, and the air was filled with a choking smell of burnt and oil, as well as a heavy smell of blood.
Röm stopped in front of a golden armor.
[Jin Yao], Lao Dong's favorite, a real A-grade light armor. It is said that in order to get this light armor, Lao Dong spent most of his family, and he cherished it very much on weekdays, and never faked it to others.
Roma has been coveting Lao Dong's [Jin Yao] for a long time.
His light armor is [Amelia-A], a standard B-grade light armor. The suffix "a" indicates that it is an offensive version of Amelialari.
Gluttony is greedy, and he doesn't have much luxury. A-level light armor not only needs his unimaginable money, but also has to have a way, and Lao Dong also found a lot of connections to ask someone to get this [Jin Yao].
The mighty [Jin Yao] was now unrecognizable, its left half of the light armor was completely destroyed, and the hard alloy armor seemed to be like a thin aluminum plate, curled in some places, and torn into jagged shapes in other places, revealing a silver stubble surface.
The left arm of the light armor was missing, revealing the joint structure inside the shoulder, and the colorful lines were jumbled and uneven, and some of them were flashing with sparks.
Rom could even see the cockpit inside the light armor from the fractured part, with specks of blood on it. The left calf of the light armor was bent abnormally and folded upwards from the knee joint, and Rohm knew that the internal structure of the knee joint had been damaged.
[Jin Yao] is destroyed, even if it is to be repaired, the cost is estimated to be similar to buying a new one.
Lao Dong planted a big heel this time, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
A-grade light armor is not something that ordinary people can make, and at the same time, it is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Whether this harvest can make up for the shortfall, Rohm feels that it is enough.
But people are fine.
The light armor is dragged back, and the man should be fine.
Rohm and Lao Dong have known each other for many years, and the cooperation between the two sides is generally harmonious, and everyone knows where each other's bottom line is.
Rohm doesn't want to change bosses just yet.
As far as the eye could see, almost all of the light armor was badly damaged, and several of them were already wreckage, and he was a little skeptical that such wreckage was necessary to pull it back.
When Roma saw Lao Dong, Lao Dong was drinking tea with his head down.
Lao Dong likes to drink tea, no matter whether he talks about things or brags, he can't do it without tea. In the past, Lao Dong drank tea, his movements were chic and calm, and his smile was kind and cunning.
At this time, the person in the seat bowed his head and drank tea as if it was another person.
Lao Dong was bent on his back, his big back was messy, his white hair was thick, and his hand holding the cup was trembling.
It wasn't until Rohm walked to the tea table that Lao Dong woke up like a dream, squeezing out a smile with difficulty.
"Röhm is here."
The old Dong and the smile in front of him, Roma felt very unfamiliar, and that face seemed to be old and depressed for more than ten years.
Röhm sat down and asked in a deep voice, "How did this happen?" ”
Lao Dong poured tea for Rom, and Roma noticed a few drops of tea spilled on the tea tray. He didn't say anything, Lao Dong has a habit of cleanliness, and his hands were very stable before.
"Hehe, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Planted, planted thoroughly. This school is a hard one, and the people who went up only came back halfway. ”
Rohm could hear the excitement, frustration, and deep fear in Lao Dong's words.
Instead of asking for details, Röhm asked, "When will you withdraw?" ”
Half the casualty rate and still be able to keep fighting, no pirate can do it. Everyone is just asking for money, not to give their lives. Rich people are swarming, and they have to run desperately.
"Withdraw? How to withdraw? Lao Dong said expressionlessly: "Just now, a few bosses shouted to retreat, and Billy led people into the camp, leaving no living mouth from top to bottom." ”
Röm thought of the smell of blood when he first entered the camp, the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, and he said in a hoarse voice: "They want us to be cannon fodder!" ”
"yes." Lao Dong sighed: "Everyone knows that they want to treat us as cannon fodder." But what to do? The knife was harder than the neck, and the blood in the camp had just been washed away. ”
Rom's face was blue and red, and his eyes were gloomy.
Lao Dong is right, the knife is harder than the neck.
Lao Dong persuaded: "It's useless to think so much, let's take a step and see a step." Now there are many people, and it is inconvenient to do anything, so wait for two days. ”
Roma realized that the camp was now heavily guarded, and it was very difficult to escape. But if it's in a chaotic battlefield, it's much more convenient.
Lao Dong changed the topic: "You didn't have any trouble today, right?" ”
Rom's face darkened: "Three brothers died. ”
Lao Dong was a little surprised: "How come?" The area you patrol is a no-man's land, how can there be such a large number of casualties? ”
"Meet a master with stealth light armor." Rom suddenly asked, "Old Dong, is there a ghost squad under Boss Mosa, all of whom use stealth light armor?" ”
"Do you suspect they did it?" Lao Dong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly projected a photo of gray light armor, pointed to the photo and asked, "Is this it?" ”
Röm shook his head: "No, it's a black and red light armor with a big sword." ”
Lao Dong breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, if it was really a ghost squad, what was the inside story here...... He didn't dare to think deeply.
"Then it's not a ghost squad." Lao Dong suddenly remembered a piece of news: "Lao Yu said something about it before, saying that Boss Mossa was in a bad mood and disciplined him, and it was said that his subordinates folded a few sentry posts. ”
Rom knew what Lao Dong was talking about. Lao Yu is the leader of another pirate team, and he is very close to Mobile, and most of this work is Lao Yu's appearance.
Rom was reviewing the details of the battle all the way back today, and couldn't help nodding at this time: "If it's that guy, it's very likely." ”
The shot he was bound to get actually missed.
Never.
Rohm came back to his senses and found that Lao Dong was staring at him.
"What's wrong? Lao Dong? ”
Lao Dong smiled: "Roma, how long have we known each other?" ”
Röhm recalled: "Seven years, four months and nine days. ”
Lao Dong exclaimed: "Rom, you are the smartest pirate I have ever seen, as smart as Boss An." ”
Rohm sighed: "Old Dong, what do you have to say." Every time you praise me like this, it's not good. ”
"So you're smart." Lao Dong laughed, showing a look of remembrance: "Time flies so fast, I've known each other for so long." Old, old, Rom, I have a hunch that I will die in the stars. ”
Lao Dong was very calm when he said this, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Röm was about to speak when a fat man dressed like a businessman walked in.
Rom recognized the fat man, who was one of the supervisors of Mobile's logistics.
As soon as the fat man came in, he was extremely enthusiastic: "Old Dong, old Dong!" Oops, hard work, hard work! The bosses heard that everyone had suffered a lot of losses, and they didn't feel good. The bosses discussed it, and took out the other half of the harvest and slaves, and distributed it all to everyone, which was regarded as a brother's hard money. Here, here's the list, you see, it's already pulled outside, you send someone to count it. ”
Lao Dong was full of praise: "The bosses are interesting!" Lecture on righteousness! ”
The fat man patted Lao Dong on the shoulder: "Lao Dong, whoever plays well and who loses a lot, the bosses will see it in their eyes, and they will definitely not let everyone suffer." ”
Lao Dong said again and again: "Yes, yes, following the bosses, it is our blessing, making so much money, who dares to think about it?" ”
The fat man laughed: "Okay! Then I'm busy! There are still several that need to be handed over. ”
Lao Dong smiled all over his face: "You are busy, you are busy!" ”
Watching the fat man disappear outside the door, the smile on Lao Dong's face disappeared without a trace: "Roma, look, the bosses really want us to die here." ”
Rom's back was cold, and he didn't speak.
Lao Dong suddenly said: "Rohm, I gave you the patrol task with selfish intentions. ”
Röhm was stunned for a moment.
"Lao Dong, I'm not blind. There are so many people under your hands, if something happens, the only one who can pull me Lao Dong and can pull me is you Roma. Lao Dong immediately smiled bitterly: "I thought that the patrol mission was the safest, but I didn't expect that there was a master of stealth light armor, but I almost hurt you." ”
Rom's expression returned to normal: "Old Dong, you overestimated me." ”
Lao Dong smiled: "Really? Level 10 Master, [General] Descendant of the Kyohachuan Super Master, Roma. ”
Röhm looked up suddenly, as if he had changed into a different person, his gaze was fierce, and his momentum skyrocketed.
"Momentum like a tiger, this is you, Rom." Lao Dong exclaimed: "Although the razor is sharp, it is too dull to use it on you." ”
Röhm half-closed his eyes again, and the momentum that had just skyrocketed disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened, and he asked, "When did you find out?" ”
"I found it by accident." Lao Dong said with a smile: "When I was young, I once received the favor of General Lechuan. ”
Röhm was stunned and silent.
"Originally, I didn't want to reveal this secret." Lao Dong smiled bitterly again: "You don't need me to take care of you, and you won't cause me trouble on weekdays." Everything is handled cleanly, and there is no hand to go. ”
"But this time, I'm just afraid I'm going to die on the stars."
"Roma, I have a hunch."
Rohm listened quietly and did not speak, and Lao Dong said this for the second time.
"Xing's place is very good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is also a blessing to die here." Lao Dong's expression suddenly became very strange, some nostalgia, some expectations, and some sadness: "It's just that I have a woman who is pregnant with a child and will give birth in a few months." She didn't know I was a pirate, and I made a fake identity. Originally, in the end, the big ticket was done, and it was a golden basin to wash your hands. I didn't expect ...... Hehe. ”
"I've got all the money ready, and when I die, she'll receive a transfer, nominally covered by the accident insurance I bought." Lao Dong's expression was calm: "I only ask you for one thing." If you escape, Roma, no matter what method you use, help me get this lie straight, and don't let her and the children know that I'm a pirate. ”
Rohm looked at Lao Dong for a long time before he spit out one word: "Okay." ”
"Thanks, Rom." Lao Dong showed a heartfelt smile, he was relieved, and his tone was indescribably brisk: "When you ask someone to do something, you can't be empty-handed." ”
Rohm just wanted to refuse, but Lao Dong's wish was just a gesture for him.
"Rom, don't refuse." Lao Dong said seriously: "You have to help me fulfill my wish, you are destined to become a big man in the future, but before that, you have to leave the star alive." ”
"You need to have a better light armor."
"Come on, Rom."
