At nine o'clock in the evening, the moon and stars are scarce, and the night breeze is gentle.

The city's nightlife has just begun, with the lights and bustle, and the blood of money flowing through the streets and alleys of the city.

"Brush—"

Two black figures shuttled between the city's high-rise buildings, one after the other, like two ghosts.

After the two sides confirmed their identities, the tense atmosphere disappeared.

In any case, the two of them are in the same camp, and the purpose of coming to Conch City this time is the same.

If it were another tavern member, he might want to take off Su Xia's head in exchange for countless honors and money, but Zhuang Ren didn't care about this at all, he had long since ignored the tavern's affairs.

"You're an Iron Fist Golden Wolf?" During the march, Zhuang Ren suddenly asked.

"It's not." Su Xia shook her head.

"Well, your eyes are very young, it shouldn't be him, it's a pity that he ......"

"Am I similar to that one?"

Su Xia was puzzled, many people thought that he might be an iron fist golden wolf, and even Zhuang Ren, a legendary creature, asked such a thing.

Are the two of them really that similar?

"You all have the ability to control metal."

Zhuang Ren sighed, I don't know what he remembered, looked at the night in the distance, and said: "He is also a character who would rather bend than bend, never afraid of things, straightforward, resolute and resolute, and is one of the juniors I am very optimistic about." ”

Su Xia asked, "I heard that he disappeared on the sea?" ”

"Missing ......"

Zhuang Ren was silent for a moment and did not answer.

As a fifth-level creature that can control metal, how can it be so easy to disappear?

Even if he is shipwrecked, he can control a piece of hull and fly back from the vast sea.

No matter how bad it is, wave your hand to build a metal boat, right?

Over the years, the disappearance of many high-level creatures has been very strange, confusing, and untraceable, as if there is an invisible hand in the dark that controls everything.

"You think it's a cybren?" Su Xia asked him.

"It should be."

Zhuang Ren didn't say much, his eyes were calm, and he ended the topic.

In this world controlled by the autonch, what can you do if you know the truth? There are many things that are better not to say than to say, and it is best to let time bury them.

"With your identity and ability, why don't you just buy these fish?" Su Xia talked about stealing fish this time.

"Do you think you're the only one wanted by the automatons?" Zhuang Ren asked rhetorically.

"It seems that you didn't really retreat, but you were forced." Susha said.

"Hmph, you think it's all you?"

Zhuang Ren snorted coldly and said lightly: "In the battle of Seahorse City, even a sixth-level creature can't escape, but you just escaped, you are a natural mechanical nemesis, so you have arrogant capital." ”

In other words, even though he was a level 6 creature, he simply didn't have the ability to confront the automatons head-on.

How can a flesh and blood body withstand the fire in the sky?

In other words, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of Seahorse City, he would have been blown into a pile of minced meat a long time ago, and there was no chance of surviving at all.

Therefore, people like him can only hide in the shadows to save their lives.

He also wanted to buy these fish with his public identity, but he also encountered the same problem as Su Xia - registering his identity!

So he also chose to steal directly.

"I came out in too much of a hurry this time, I didn't carry valuables, I can't barter like you, so I can only do this." As a legend, Zhuang Ren also wants to be faced, and he knows that this kind of stealing is very faceless.

His original plan was to wait for the limelight to pass, and then anonymously send more than 10 million worth of items to the Voyage Fishing Company as a purchase of the nine fish.

"Before you came out, my bastard apprentice told me to take care of you." Zhuang Ren said.

"Really?"

"Nonsense, he told me two things, one is looking for fish, and the other is looking for you!"

"I'll give him two bottles of good wine."

"That bastard...... thing"

Zhuang Ren scolded in a low voice: "In this situation, your bastard's life-saving ability is obviously much stronger than mine, and you still want me to take care of you, and you don't care about my master's life at all!" ”

Su Xia smiled: "You are a legend, or his master, in his heart, you are omnipotent." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, leave now?"

Zhuang Ren didn't want to waste time, and planned to leave Conch City immediately and return to Coral City, so that the bastard pharmacist named Su Xia could refine the life-saving potion.

But Su Xia shook his head and said, "I still have something to do here, I'll go back after solving it." ”

"Then you give me the fish, and I'll bring it back first."

"You can't take it back."

"What do you mean?"

"Now that the whole city is under martial law, you don't have a special space to store your belongings." Su Xia glanced at him, "How are you going to take these nine fish out of the city with the fish tank?" ”

"That's a problem! Those bastard mechanical creatures......"

Zhuang Ren looked up.

In the night sky, several mechanically shaped creatures flew by, buzzing, inspecting the city below.

The form is getting more and more severe, and in the sky above the city, almost every area has patrol flying machines, and the whole city is roaring in machinery.

The eyes of the automaton, like the Eye of God, enveloped the city, watching over almost every living being.

"When are you going to go back?" Zhuang Ren was obviously a little anxious, "If you don't leave, when the stand device is installed, you won't be able to leave if you want to." ”

Obviously, after the Great War of Seahorse City, the power of the Stand Device had spread all over the world.

No one dares to underestimate such a device anymore.

Those pillars of blue light that rose into the sky were like huge shadows, overwhelming the spiritual creatures around the world.

"You should be able to leave tomorrow night." Su Xia estimated the time, and it was time for him to go back.

"What else are you doing here?" Zhuang Ren asked.

"It's a bit of a friction with an organization called the Left Eye Security Group." Susha replied.

"I've heard that it's just a small organization, what do you care about them?" Zhuang Ren asked again.

"It seems to us to be a small organization, but it is not necessarily for ordinary people." Su Xia replied to him, "This organization is full of sins, and it kills too many people. ”

"Nonsense, which organization doesn't kill people now?"

Zhuang Ren's mentality is different from Su Xia's, and he doesn't know the inside story about this group, and he doesn't understand Su Xia's behavior.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the Zero Tavern, where almost every member has blood on their hands.

In this day and age, human life is the least valuable thing.

"Almost all of the targets of this organization are women and children." Susha said.

"Innocent people?" Zhuang Ren frowned.

"Hmm."

"That's to be destroyed." Zhuang Ren said: "When to start? I will walk with you, and when I am gone, I will return together. ”

"Tomorrow morning, in a few hours, I will indeed need help, and there will be a possibility of confronting the mechs."

"Fuck, why are you going to be on the Cybtons?"

“……”

Su Xia really couldn't answer this.

Zhuang Ren said again: "You bastard is faster than me, after facing the mechanical clan, it's no problem to get out, where to go now?" ”

"To go to a port, I have to do one thing first."

"Stealing?"

"No, about a batch of arms ......"

Su Xia began to tell, patiently telling Zhuang Ren about his discovery.

This legend has much more experience and experience than him, and his view of the world situation is quite mature.

After listening, Zhuang Ren frowned and muttered for a long time, slowly combing through every word Su Xia said in his mind.

If it was really what Su Xia said, then wouldn't the Terrans face a large-scale civil war within themselves?

Now that the Terrans are like this, if there is another civil war......

Well, the result is certainly devastating.

"What are you telling me all this for?" Zhuang Ren suddenly spoke, as if he didn't care, "I'm not interested in this kind of thing, I've been retired for several years, and I'm not interested in taking care of these troublesome things anymore." ”

"Don't forget, you master and apprentice owe me a favor."

Su Xia mentioned "human favor" again, which made Zhuang Ren very uncomfortable.

"You bastard, do you want me to help you fight the Terran civil war?" Zhuang Ren was annoyed, "Say, which leader of the large gathering place do you want me to kill?" Help you kill it, and you won't owe each other! ”

"No, it's not enough to kill people......

Su Xia smiled and let Zhuang Ren relax.

It's hard to get a legendary character to owe him a favor, and this favor must be put to good use.

"And what do you want me to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Fuck, you bastard must not be well-intentioned." Zhuang Ren scolded and scolded, "Lao Tzu didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, how did he come across this thing of yours!" ”

"Calm down, you are a legend, have a bearing." Su Xia smiled lightly.

"Fart!"

Zhuang Ren glared at him and said, "You bastard, you better die early, and if you die, the favor will be gone." ”

Su Xia shrugged: "I want to die, but the mechanical clan is not very powerful." ”

“……”

As soon as the favor is owed, Zhuang Ren's retirement life is hopeless for the time being.

At night, the two rushed to the pier by the sea.

It didn't take long for the sound of the sea to drift into my ears, the waves crashing, the waves blooming, and the seaside at night was especially charming.

The docks are full of containers, workers have not yet rested, freight cars come and go, industrial buzzes around the clock, and a few whistles sound every now and then.

Several freighters are unloading, and large containers are being lifted and then placed on transport vehicles on shore to be transported to designated locations.

This was the first time Su Xia had watched the unloading up close, and standing in front of these huge freighters, there was a shocking sense of insignificance.

These huge freighters are the condensation of human ingenuity.

He stood quietly on the dock, surrounded by workers and loading trucks, but no one noticed him, as if he didn't exist.

On the side, Zhuang Ren stood in a shadow, and no one noticed it.

"How long will it take?" Zhuang Ren asked him.

"I don't know."

"You don't even know the exact time?"

"The mechanical clan is locked down, and there is no such thing as an accurate time." Su Xia replied, "It's about two o'clock in the morning, or maybe an hour or two. ”

"Okay......"

Zhuang Ren stopped speaking and waited quietly.

As time passed, the temperature on the beach gradually decreased, and the sea breeze swept past the two of them, shuttling on the docks.

……

At two o'clock in the morning, a few whistles were heard in the distance.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

Another freighter has entered the docks.

Su Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, and when she looked from afar, she saw the code and number printed on the freighter.

This is the one he was waiting for, the same one Andrew described.

Once in port, three cranes are responsible for unloading the vessel, a process that takes about 12-15 hours.

Su Xia wore "life perception glasses", and her eyes penetrated through the containers and saw life after life.

"Andrew said that a group of kidnapped people on this ship should be at the bottom of the hold." Su Xia said in a low voice: "Now it seems that it is not at the bottom, and it is still smuggled in a traditional container." ”

"Container stowaway?"

"Yes." Su Xia nodded, "One of the most traditional ways to smuggle is cheap and convenient, as long as you can pass the inspection." ”

"How many containers are there?"

"There were only more than a dozen people in the containers, and most of the other containers were the same batch of munitions."

"What do you want to do?"

"I can't do it now, wait for them to unload, and then intercept and kill them halfway to save this group of people."

"Aren't you going to get on the boat?"

"The time has not yet come......"

Above the dock, mechanical flying insects composed of nanobots flipped their wings and flew towards the freighter under the drive of Su Xia.

Once on board, the little mechanical insects began to search for the person in charge of the cargo ship.

Su Xia shared his vision to see what was going on on the ship.

Soon, the little flying insect inspected the deck department, the affairs department, the marine engine department and other departments one by one.

The employees of these departments were exposed to Suxia's vision.

After a while, Su Xia sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need, the employees on this ship only belong to the ocean freight company, and there is no one I want to look for, so I can't ask for any information." ”

Zhuang Ren was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Susha replied, "I've seen it." ”

"You've been there?"

"Hmm."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhuang Ren did not ask again.

Everyone has secrets, especially psionic creatures, and high-level psionic creatures basically have special abilities.

On the other side, the unloading has begun, and the first to be unloaded are the more than a dozen containers containing the kidnapped.

Specialized transport vehicles transport these containers away and drive them to the terminal cargo terminal.

"I'll go along and see, you stay here." Susha said.

With that, his body fluttered, and he followed the transporter, neither fast nor slow.

In a dark corner of the cargo terminal, more than a dozen container trucks are quietly parked.

Next to the truck at the front, several people were chatting.

"Is it someone from the Left Eye Group?"

Su Xia's heart moved, and after drifting closer, he heard the content of their chat.

One of them, who seemed to be the driver, stood outside the cab and whispered, "It's dangerous, fortunately the mechs didn't block the dock this time, and they didn't check the containers, otherwise it would have been over." ”

Another whispered, "It's all to blame on the masked monster, we almost had an accident!" ”

"I heard that those bases in Seahorse City were destroyed by masked monsters."

"That's right, those mentally retarded people in Seahorse City, I don't know how to get into trouble with that killer ......"

“……”

Apparently, these people are the employees of the Left Eye Group, who are responsible for shipping containers here.

They looked nervous and spoke in low voices, looking at the freighter in the distance as they spoke.

This time, they were indeed lucky.

If the mechanical family wants to open the box and check the goods, then it will be a big trouble.

It doesn't matter if you find out who has been kidnapped, once that batch of arms is found, the entire base in the southwest region may run out!

"The group has been very unhappy these days, the mechanical clan has barely passed this level, and I don't know if the masked monster will come." One of them whispered, a little worry in his voice.

"Afraid of what?" Another asked.

"Why aren't you afraid? Even Andrew was scared and ran away! Leave us at the bottom to attract attention! ”

"Do you really think Andrew made the run? He was destroyed yesterday afternoon, and he died of scum! ”

Several people talked about Andrew, with different expressions.

The news about Andrew has come out, and many people know that running away means death.

Whoever breaks away from the group will inevitably be destroyed.

"Don't worry, the masked monster doesn't dare to come, he was chased by the mechanical clan like a lost dog, and now he doesn't know if he is dead or alive."

"Really?"

"Of course, I heard from Master Frank himself, he used to be Andrew's deputy, and now he has taken over everything of Andrew......"

The few of them chatted like this, talking about recent events and their thoughts.

Little did they realize that the masked monster they were talking about was now standing next to them, quietly listening to everything they were discussing.
