Chapter 61: Return to Base

The sky was overcast, and the surroundings of the human metal fortress were exceptionally calm, and on the fortress walls, four ordinary mercenaries patrolled around the wall, surrounded by endless plains, but there was no need to worry about bugs lurking closer, and it was still very easy to patrol.

The top cover of the fortress is open, and you can see the large vehicle and two strange equipment inside, Wei once introduced it to Shuer, saying that it is an aerial combat weapon called the Ghost Fighter, but no matter how you look at it, I don't think this thing can have anything to do with flying, neither flexible wings, nor a light body, how can it fly into the sky?

Everyone didn't pay much attention to these vehicles, only Yuri the winged man, and he climbed up and down all day on these things that were called ghost fighters, and if it weren't for the fear of triggering the hostility of the base and Wei, it is estimated that the two fighters would have been disassembled into parts. However, even if she has shown mercy to her subordinates, it still makes people feel frightened to see her measuring the length here and the angle there, lest she do something destructive.

The rest of the people were very leisurely, except for those who trained in the shooting range, most of the rest breathed fresh air around the base, and after two days of stuffiness underground, they finally got rid of the fear of being surrounded by the swarm before, and dared to leave the protection of the base to carry out normal activities.

As for the scholars who have fallen into the projection of the other world, they have recovered earlier than others, and have begun to study the soil characteristics and mineral distribution of this world, and some are measuring the local energy dynamics parameters, it is difficult to understand a projection world that will soon disappear, and the use of measuring these parameters can only be attributed to the quirks of scholars when they are idle and bored.

"Toot, toot, toot. "The whistle suddenly came from the city walls, a warning signal from the patrolling mercenaries. The moment they heard the whistle, those who were walking to breathe skillfully rushed into the outer wall, and the scholars, although a little reluctant, still forced themselves to return to the safety of the base.

"Alarm dismissed, alarm dismissed. "As soon as everyone ran back, some of them had just stood still, and before they had time to catch their breath, the mercenaries patrolling the city wall sent out a second message, causing everyone to roll their eyes together, "It's the captain and Ms. Lin Jing who are back." ”

A few people climbed the city wall to look at it uneasily, and sure enough, Moria, who was in elven form, rode on top of Shure, and the two of them staggered back from the south.

Wait, why did Lin Jing lie on Shuer? And why from the south? It can't be that he is going the wrong way.

"Whew", in the middle of the discussion, everyone only felt that there was a whirlwind hanging around them, and if you looked closely, Savo, who had originally climbed the city wall together, had disappeared from her side, and under the city wall, the shy female swordsman was rushing in the direction of the two with billowing smoke and dust.

"How are you guys, are you hurt, are you okay, where are you hurt?" Before she could see her, the female swordsman was already impatient to send out a series of questions, "Not injured?" ”

"I was ridden by him just now, and now I'm going to ride it back. Moria lay comfortably on Shuer's back, shook her long hair and explained triumphantly, "You dare to take the opportunity to force me, I want her to see the horror of Lin Jing." ”

"I've seen it. Xiuer said with a straight face and an expressionless face, "And I have seen it many times, Lin Jing is indeed a very terrifying race. ”

"I can't stand you two bastards, I'm still playing when I go to investigate. Saph had forgotten his shyness, gritting his teeth viciously, even the most innocent person could probably guess what was going on, it was nothing more than two idiots playing a stupid game, and he would be worried about these two people, he was really stupid.

"Thank you, Sasa, I'm sorry for worrying you today. I haven't had a day off, okay, it's hard. The female swordsman was just about to turn around and leave, but found that her hand had been caught, and Shuer's familiar voice sounded in her ears. A simple word of thanks, so that the inexplicable anger in Saf's heart instantly dissipated, and the courage when he gritted his teeth just now has disappeared, and he lowered his head timidly, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Slap", before he had time to be happy, he was suddenly slapped hard behind him very skillfully, and Xiuer said in a smiling voice: "However, I dare to say that I am a bastard, and I need to teach me a good lesson." ”

Sure enough, the flushed face reappeared, and the female swordsman's eyes were full of water, and she glared at Xiu'er fiercely, but there was no anger in her eyes at all, but a little indescribable charm.

"Eh, you've just finished riding me, and you're flirting with other women, it's just ......."

"No flirting!" How could a girl like Saf withstand Moria's teasing, and before Shul could say anything, she let out a scream. The screams were so loud that she even suspected that the people in the fortress could hear them, and the intense shame caused her to fall into a mood of self-defeat, and she simply covered her face and pretended that she didn't exist.

It is the best form of entertainment to base happiness on the pain of others, at least for Shure and Moria, so that even the way home feels much shorter, and when they look so far away, they look up and find that they have reached the gate of the fortress.

"How did you come back from the south?" The expressionless mountain elf and the always condescending necromancer with a haughty face were standing at the door to greet them, and it seemed that these two people who were not right-mouthed were actually quite worried about Shul and Moria.

"You are not allowed to mess around. Shuer took the first step to stop Lin Jing from talking about being ridden, and replied under Moria's puffed eyes, "I have been chased by the insect swarm for more than 200 kilometers, and I am worried that I will accidentally run to the border area. ”

"What about invisibility?" Mia was stunned, "Didn't you trick me out of all the scrolls?"

"Ahem, ahem, please use the phrase seeking funding. Correcting Mia's wording seriously, Shure sighed, "It's too late to use it, the bugs are chasing too closely, and they have been following us all the time, and as soon as they stop, it is estimated that they will be overwhelmed by the insect tide, how can we use the scroll." ”

"How come?" Mia frowned and asked, "The speed of the bugs is not that fast, ordinary people really can't outrun them, but those mercenaries can easily shake off the bugs when they run long distances." ”

"Of course, the most basic low-level zerg can be thrown away, but we can see forty or fifty kinds of insects today, some are running fast and are responsible for chasing, some are huge and surprisingly heavy and are responsible for interception, some are hiding and waiting for someone to pass by, and suddenly jump out to scare people, and most importantly, there is a dragonfly flying in the sky, yes, it is the kind we saw in the research room. ”

"As it was the case that day, even if we had left the carpet, as long as we remained in their sight, they were in hot pursuit, and there were often small swarms of insects that came out of nowhere to block the road, forcing us to go around in a big circle, until they were too long in the high-intensity activity outside the blanket and their speed began to decrease, and we barely got rid of them. Whew, running more than 200 kilometers at this speed, I've only experienced it once before, and I'm tired of us. ”

In fact, Moria is running hard, and Shuer is very serious about riding on her back as a burden, but he is also constantly using magic to replenish Lin Jing's strength, and at the same time borrowing Moria's throwing gun, responsible for killing all the insects that stand in the way, and Lin Jing hand in hand to clean the path, the two focus on their respective tasks, and there are no flaws in their cooperation, but when it comes to tiredness, Lin Jing is a little harder.

The original intention was just to joke, Shuer thought that if he said this, Moria would definitely tell the truth noisily and ridicule herself, but she didn't expect Lin Jing to never say a word, just stood quietly beside Saf, as if acquiescing to Shuer's words. Very interesting and considerate reaction, just this small gesture made Xiuer's opinion of her change a lot.

However, Moria did not refute, but Shul himself felt a little embarrassed, but he did not hide it, and simply told everyone the truth.

"Huh, you're riding on her?" Unexpectedly, Mia showed an expression of disbelief, it was the mountain elf, who knew quite well the habits of the symbiotic race of the wood elves, and whispered in surprise, "Are you kidding?" ”

Mia's somewhat exaggerated reaction made Xiuer have a very bad premonition in his heart, and in retrospect, it seems that he had read some books on race studies, which mentioned some of the preferences and habits of Lin Jing, which were related to today's events, as for the content? Ahem, I'm sorry, I can't remember.

"Uh-huh. Changing the subject with a pretending of seriousness, Shul asked expectantly, "Where's Darker?" and Yuri and Fleison. ”

"Duck was supervising the training of those men at the training grounds, and by the way was paying homage to a female scholar who had been living together last night. Yuri couldn't get out of the ghost plane, and he shouldn't be back until he finished eating, and Fleisen should be around her. Speaking of which, ...... the hell this Fleison"

Not only Mia, but in fact, everyone is quite puzzled, this strong man among the assassins is already very strange that he will participate in the excavation team, and he also asks to follow everyone to the adventure in the otherworldly projection, which is really difficult to understand. What's even stranger is that Shul has already shown suspicion, but Fleison only has a few words with him, and Shul agrees to join him.

Everyone couldn't understand this, but they couldn't help it, until now, Mia finally couldn't help it, especially after getting the order from Shuer.

"He's paid for double, and you're only paid a fraction of the money here, but there's actually a commission with a higher pay. Shul hesitated for a moment, but still explained, "Some people don't worry about someone running around on their own, and secretly hired a bodyguard for her through the thieves' guild, and assassins are actually more suitable for secretly protecting the client." As for what the identity of that person is, I really don't know, but I know that her temperament is not ordinary. As for why I agreed to come with him? ahem, because I was bought, two hundred gold coins. ”

"Are you a bastard?" Mia said weakly, unable to get angry, "I've decided to find a way to deduct your reward when I get back." ”

"Ahem, don't talk about these useless things. Shuer clumsily changed the subject again, "You already know what I informed?"

"Well, as far as I can see......"

"Don't say anything, I'll talk to Wei first. ”

"Huh?" Mia's hundreds of years of experience were not fake, and she immediately heard the implication from Shuer's words, "Hehe, it seems that even I am among them." ”

"I said, anyone. Shure narrowed his eyes, "Be careful, it never hurts." ”
