Volume 3 The End of the World Section 21 Crisis
Zhao Linglong explained that she was the investigator of the "Human Ethics Supervision Committee" in the Crescent Alliance, and was ordered to investigate this anti/human research incident. A few days ago, she followed clues all the way to Luoyan Town and found that the 19th garrison of Golden Bay was very suspicious.
She was weak and had no ship, so she had to send people to the boiler fort, thousands of miles away, to ask for help from the headquarters through an international network. And this ship should have been sent by the headquarters to assist her. Since there was no communication network in Luoyan Town, she couldn't contact them, so she waited in the town all the time. Until a few days ago, when she met the captain and won another boat, she decided to go to the island first.
The ship in the painting belongs to the Southwestern Branch of the Crescent Alliance, and as long as she arrives at the scene, she can accept the team by identifying herself.
The captain looked at Feng Yun and Tie Slag with an inquiring gaze. As a ground man, a deep-sea fisherman who made a cameo appearance as a pirate, and a heavily wanted criminal in the Northern Wilderness, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Yincheng forces at all.
Feng Yun and Iron Slag both shook their heads, indicating that they were unwilling to take risks. They are insects, and the Yincheng forces either have an extermination attitude towards insects or have a cold attitude, so they don't want to be involved with each other.
Seeing this, Zhao Linglong was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "We know what you think, and we know that you don't believe me. You are all insects, and you have a deep prejudice against all the forces of Silver City. It's not your fault, and I can understand your concerns. However, it is precisely because the world is not sound that we need our efforts. Try to change her, try to get her back on track......"
She continued, "I'm from the Eternal City (Silver City No. 1) and joined the Crescent Alliance at the age of seventeen. Over the years, I have witnessed first-hand the efforts of the Alliance for peace in the human world. We in the Crescent Alliance have never discriminated against the Bugs, and it is because of our sympathy for the Buggers that they sent me to investigate this incident. Maybe you think we're hypocritical, just for a dispute of interests you don't understand, but ......"
At this point, she paused to look at the captain before continuing, "Please trust me, why don't you try it once and make a contribution to the future of the insecters." ”
After saying this, Zhao Linglong left the deck. Iron Slag, Captain, Feng Yun, including the accountant who was drawing on the side, all fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.
Iron Slag has never heard such remarks. In his world, there is only survival, and he has never thought about anything other than survival. As an insect, how to avoid the power of the temple and how to hide in the crowd is a necessity for him.
Can all this change? It was a thought he had never had, not even a dream. An ant will definitely not think about how to change the world, but only about how to survive and how to live better.
"Actually, the little girl has some truth...... Feng Yun broke the silence and said.
"Alas......" the captain sighed, rubbed his face, and said to the iron slag, "or ...... Let's go and see, it's never too late to run if there's a problem......"
"That's my ticket money, we're even." Iron Slag said.
"Why count me as me, you are also an insect, and you are also obliged." The captain said depressedly.
"She's not my woman, and I have no obligation." Iron Slag said dryly.
The captain patted his head helplessly, and recognized it. He then gave the order, "Full speed ahead, get ready to go to the island!" ”
Just as the Beidou put away its anchor and headed for the island, the accountant completed the fourth picture.
In the painting is a makeshift camp, surrounded by dozens of small tents......
At the same time, a scout worker bee flew onto the canvas of the big tent. This is a large military tent, with an internal space of more than 30 square meters, enough for dozens of people to hold military meetings. Scout bees crawl around the canvas, looking for a crevice to fly into. It didn't take long for it to climb into the skylight of the tent and fly in.
There was a desk in the military tent, and in front of it sat a two-meter-tall strong man. The brawny man was dressed in silver-gray iron armor, with thick pipes inlaid at the joints and shoulders. Judging by the emblem on the chest and the style of the iron armor, this is a mass-produced Psionic Power Armor from Harley Industries.
His name is Cole Harvey, a major in the Southwestern Branch of the Crescent Alliance, who has been ordered to assist Zhao Linglong in his investigation of the Anti/Human Research incident in Luoyan Town.
At this time, he was leaning back in his chair and resting his feet crossed on his desk. On the edge of the table was a low-legged glass filled with brownish brandy. While admiring the picture album of nude women in his hand, he drank wine, looking very leisurely.
However, his gaze is not focused on the album, but in a state of distraction, as if he is thinking about a problem.
At this moment, a tall, thin man lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Report to the captain, those pirates have been missing for three hours, do you want to send someone down to take a look?"
Captain Cole put down the album, frowned and thought for a while, then looked at his watch again, and said, "Wait another hour, if there is no news, organize a team of ten people and go down to see the situation." ”
"Yes!" The thin black man gave a military salute and turned to leave.
"Wait." Cole stopped him and said, "Before the female investigator with a brain in the water has not contacted us, find out the situation here as soon as possible, collect evidence, and blow it up quickly!" ”
"Boss, what do you mean......" The thin black man asked hesitantly, turning around. Cole beckoned to him, motioning for him to come over.
As the thin black man approached, Cole whispered, "Let me tell you clearly, this must be one of the secret research institutes of the Lion City (Silver City 5, also known as Reinhardt City) in the outer continent, and as long as they collect enough evidence, they will pay a large sum of money." ”
"But, how do you explain it from the headquarters?" The thin black man asked.
"She doesn't have a boat, she doesn't have a communicator, we just can't find her."
"Big brother, there are many people, if it gets out, I will be ruined, it's nothing, you are a promising psyker, the pillar of the Harvey family." The thin black man still had some doubts. He said that there were many people and mixed eyes, alluding to the more than thirty ordinary soldiers brought this time.
"It's okay, the entire Crescent Alliance, just a few people with brains in water." Cole snorted coldly and continued, "After the matter is completed, there is a lot of money, everyone has money, who do you say will have trouble with money?" The thin black man wanted to say something, but Cole waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to discuss it anymore.
After the thin black man left, he took a sip of his wine glass. He knew his situation, he was almost twenty-six years old this year, and his spiritual energy strength was still hovering at the second order, so it was estimated that he would not make much progress in this life. Originally, he joined the Crescent Moon Alliance just to get a set of secret books for suitable cultivation. As a result, after so many years, it is useless to only get a few copies, so it is better to take advantage of the current power to make more money.
Not long after the thin black man left, he ran back and said with a strange face, "Report to the captain, an armed fishing boat is approaching." ”
Cole looked happy and said, "Okay, there's another bunch of cannon fodder, and I'm worried that no one will go down to explore the way." ”
"The problem is ......," the thin black man said with a deep breath, "Investigator Zhao is standing at the bow of the ship. ”
Cole lost his mind, his glass fell to the ground, and there was a crunch of "...... bang", and brandy splashed everywhere......
He froze for a moment, then finally slammed the table and said fiercely, "her if necessary!" ”
"Yes!" The thin black man gave a military salute and answered loudly.
The continuous noise startled the worker bees lying on the canvas. I saw it flap its wings slightly, burrow out of the military tent, and fly into the boundless sea......
A few minutes later, the worker bee flew against the cold north wind against the surface of the sea towards a mottled ship. In its countless compound eyes, the ship is getting closer and closer! However, just as it wanted to fly onto the deck, a black back suddenly rushed out of the sea and bit it!
With the sound of falling water, the poignant "squeak" sound came to an abrupt end......
"Haha, your little bee was eaten." The first mate fat cat pointed to the sea and gloated.
The accountant put away the drawings and said disdainfully, "I eat it, I have a lot." ”
"Alright, don't be verbose, get ready to dock." The captain commanded.
At the same time, the iron slag pushed the red comet to the deck and stopped in the open space in the stern.
"Alice, take care of yourself and flee on your own if you are in danger."
[Yes, my captain] As soon as he finished speaking, a small mechanical arm protruded from the side of the red comet, and a metal egg the size of a pigeon's egg was sandwiched in front of it.
Iron Slag took the metal egg, and there was a cold feeling in the palm of his hand.
[Captain, this is a small communication bee made by Alice.] Within a radius of 2 kilometers, direct calls can be made without obstructions. If the terrain is complicated and the signal cannot be transmitted, you can activate the communication bee and let it fly back to Alice]
Iron Slag nodded, put away the metal egg, and left the stern back to the deck.
At this time, the Beidou had sailed to shallow water. After lowering the anchor, except for the accountant and the sailor Doudou, who stayed behind to watch the ship, the rest of the people boarded the dinghy and headed for the island.
A few minutes later, the dinghy rowed past the "Star Chaser", and the iron slag found that the ship was empty, and suddenly had a bad premonition. He subconsciously looked at the captain and found that the captain was also frowning, as if he was confused by the current situation of the Starchaser.
Zhao Linglong gently patted the back of the captain's hand and said, "Don't worry, the core program of the Crescent Alliance is to promote the unity of the human world, and it will not bully the people on the ground." ”
"I hope you're right." The captain whispered in her ear.
Iron Slag looked up at the small island in front of him, which was a semi-circular island, small in size, and could cover the whole island in half an hour.
The cold sea breeze, with a slight fishy smell, blows in the face, with a hint of refreshment in the cold, which makes people feel refreshed. As the dinghy approached the landing site, the sun shone on the fine soft sand, the crimson starfish hid in the sand, and the smooth shells dotted the sand, like a tranquil and beautiful oil painting.
