Chapter 8: Heart Core Fragments!
The Third Federal City of Gert is a small metropolis covering an area of about 150 square kilometers, which makes a living from traditional trade, and is a transportation hub in the territory of the Overlord. Merchants often travel by sky, or by fortress trains on the land route.
The entire city is surrounded by walls that are 200 meters high and 50 meters thick, and there are no so-called gates, but there are 16 gates left only for the fortress train, leading to all sides of the Overlord Federation's city circle.
The walls were not intended to defend against giants, nor to restrict the freedom of citizens, but simply to protect the city from foreign enemies.
Although the entire earth is divided among the seven major groups, their sphere of influence is still limited to their respective city circles and the Ring of God above their heads, and in the ruins of the mountains and deserts, they are full of polluted and mutated beasts and mobs.
They are murderous, attacking almost everything they see, and there are also cases of attacking the mining areas of the seven major groups, but the cities are connected by strong railways, and trains equipped with various weapons and escort troops are used as a means of transportation to maintain this basic logistics and communication.
No one dared to wander outside the city without any means of transportation, after all, there is a death penalty in the law...... Banishment.
Therefore, even though a full hour had passed and the Overlord Escort Group had found nothing, Ye Wuchang still believed that Zhang Lan and the girl in the ice were still in the city.
Watching the soldiers beside him busy walking through, Ye Wuchang walked on the side of the road with a horse as if no one was around, naturally picked up the communication headset, and cut directly into everyone's communication channel.
"Hello Zhang Lan, my name is Ye Wuchang, and I am the commander who is currently arresting you. I know you're listening to me, and with your ingenuity, understanding enemy dynamics is a very important rule of survival. ”
Ye Wuchang seemed to be talking to himself to the air, but Zhang Lan listened to it sincerely.
"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting prey of yours, and you don't seem to know how to be afraid at all?" Ye Wuchang praised, "An excellent person like you, if you join the Overlord Group and have a great future, why do you have to send your life to a place where this kind of bird doesn't?" ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Ye, you must be unaccustomed to the water and soil, so you have long forgotten that there are no birds on the ground for a long time, and only you dignitaries can fly."
Zhang Lan actually started to speak magically?! The hammer on the side signaled, and the information soldier quickly began to track the signal source.
It's a pity that Zhang Lan is also very shrewd, the headset he took away belonged to Lotus, he is the mayor, although he is not in the stream, but the administrative level makes his communication channels automatically encrypted, and the information soldier cannot obtain the high-level authority of the group to unlock the positioning, so he can only go through the procedure to give instructions, and it takes 5 minutes to get authorization at the earliest.
"It's really a daring artist, you dare to speak. I've got 5 minutes to lock down your location, and you can choose to run away now, or ask me questions, whatever the problem, I swear in the name of my dead mom that I'll tell you all. Ye Wuchang released the bait, and for Zhang Lan, it was a difficult choice...... But he didn't pause for even half a second.
"Why are you chasing and killing Maiyuki?"
"It's not a chase, it's a recycling. That girl was originally the property of my Overlord Group, and she accidentally fell to the ground because of a sneak attack. Ye Wuchang really replied.
"Who is she?" Zhang Lan asked the second.
"You should know about the demigods, right?" Ye Wuchang asked inexplicably.
"The fusion of the Divine Stone Dust left over from the ancient era, only 1 in 10,000 people can complete the combination with the Divine Stone Dust, and the abnormal person who causes genetic mutation is collectively referred to as the ...... Are you deliberately wasting my time? Zhang Lan finished all the above words in almost 10 seconds.
"No, I just want to tell you that the demigods are fused with the dust of the Divine Stone, and the girl next to you is the last fragment of the heart core separated after the explosion of the Divine Stone." What Ye Wuchang said was a top secret, and only the board level was qualified to know.
"Heart core fragments?" Zhang Lan looked back at Wuxue, "Are you an idiot for me?" She's alive! ”
"We were as surprised as you were, which is why we needed to recycle it for research. Now pack her and send her back, and there is an endless amount of wealth. Ye Wuchang began a condition that he couldn't refuse at all.
On the other side of the headphones, Zhang Lan fell into silence, as if she was seriously calculating the pros and cons.
Time comes to the limit of 5 minutes at this moment!
When Zhang Lan's coordinates appeared on the screen, without any warning, a military drone on standby in the sky aimed in the direction of his location, and a slender laser pierced through the three houses, punching a fist-sized hole in the location.
The members of the Overlord Escort Regiment who were on standby not far away quickly rushed forward, and in the smoking back alley, they found the target that had been hit. A long-forgotten public phone booth, headphones are placed in front of the connected communication channel, and the electronic screen is pierced.
Ye Wuchang just now was actually just making a phone call......
"Cut, what a cunning fox." Ye Wuchang finally showed an unhappy face.
"It's embarrassing that you swore by your mother that you didn't catch our prey." The hammer on the side was like a joke.
"I'm a human body cultured with DNA, and I don't have parents in the first place, so what are you afraid of? It's a pity that now that kid is even more difficult to catch. Ye Wuchang threw away the communicator in his hand and walked to the hovering chariot on the side.
"Finally going to do it yourself? You rarely have this kind of enthusiasm, huh? Hammer sneered and followed.
"He's different, he deserves to die at my hands." Ye Wuchang put his hands in his pockets and sat in the chariot, and all this was seen by Zhang Lan at the window of the 3-story small building across the road.
After going around for so long, who would have thought that he would stay in a love hotel only 50 meters away from the command center. As the search area expands, the area closer to the core is safer, which is also the conclusion of the statistics.
"The forces of the demigods have come down, and it seems that his words are true." Zhang Lan gently lowered the curtain that had been raised, and when she looked back, Wu Xue was sitting on the shaking jelly round bed, playing with something indescribable with two heads.
"Don't, don't! It's not for kids! Zhang Lan hurriedly snatched the thing and threw it aside in disgust.
"Huh?" Wuxue disagreed.
"Listen, then we have to be apart for a while, you have to act exactly as I ask, I won't leave you behind, at any time. No matter where you are, I'm going to find you and get you out of here, you know? Zhang Lan put her arm around Wuxue's shoulders and said seriously.
"Woooooo Wuxue smiled so happily.
Zhang Lan's big escape plan has officially begun!
