Matou Island.

On a yacht with the logo of an ocean company.

The yacht is not large, more than fifty meters long.

Three floors.

There is also a swimming pool on the top floor, which is extremely luxurious.

The yacht was originally an asset of the Holy Knights, but after the Paladins fled, many of the assets were taken over by the Ocean Company, and the yacht became an asset of the Ocean Company.

On deck, there were more than thirty members of the Sino-Ocean Company.

Ji Xiaowu is among them.

However, unlike before, the current Ji Xiaowu is no longer a security guard of Sino-Ocean Company, but the middle-level management of Sino-Ocean Company.

Not only did he get an independent house, but he also managed a team of fifty people.

Of course, Ji Xiaowu was promoted, not only because he has good ability, but mainly because after Sino-Ocean became the manager of the fifth district, the company's scale continued to expand, and now it has more than 2,000 employees.

Most of the former members were promoted and raised, and Ji Xiaowu, as the first employee to join Sino-Ocean, naturally enjoyed the dividends of Sino-Ocean's expansion.

Many employees of Sino-Ocean Company stood on the deck, looking out over Matou Island from afar.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man was frightened by the towering ancient trees on Matou Island and let out an exclamation.

He has brown skin, curly black hair, and a thin build.

His name is Gru, and he is a fellow villager with Ji Xiaowu.

"This is Matou Island, and it's spectacular."

"It must be a sacred tree created by the legendary god of life of the Nuwa tribe, it is as tall as a mountain, it is incredible."

"No wonder she is called the goddess of life, except for the legendary goddess, it is impossible for humans to create such miracles."

"Gru, this won't be your first time on Matou Island, will you?"

"Hehe, it's the first time I've been here."

"I used to hear those anchors in my hometown say that it is easy to make money in the Poseidon Kingdom, there is gold everywhere, and many people can earn millions of dollars a month, and if they earn 100,000 dollars a month, they are embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out. In my hometown, a good job is only more than 100 dollars a month, which is really boring. ”

"I thought that working in my hometown for a lifetime was not as good as working in the country of the sea god for a month, and finally gritted my teeth and came to this place with my fellow villagers without telling my family."

"Who knows that this ghost place is not as good as those anchors say, and it is very difficult to make money. Ever since we came to the mermaid market, we have been hungry for a meal. The money I earn every day is not enough to eat, and the cost of living in this hellish place is really high, and all kinds of things are dozens of times higher than in my hometown. ”

"But we didn't even have the money to go back at that time, so we had no choice but to find some odd jobs. Fortunately, this place is now recruiting people everywhere, and many jobs are still taking care of food, but they can barely support themselves. No, some time ago, the Sino-Ocean Company was recruiting, and we happened to meet the Ji team who was recruiting, and after chatting, we found out that we were half of the countrymen, and then we joined the Sino-Ocean Company. ”

"Hehe, if it weren't for Captain Ji to take care of us, we might still be starving and freezing now."

"Since I came to the mermaid market, we have the best treatment in our ocean company, with a lot of money, good food, and the top."

Gru said, giving a thumbs up and looking proud.

"Haha, that's not, our ocean company is a manager of the fifth district, and the welfare treatment is not to be said. But let's say that Captain Ji is still young and promising. At a young age, he was already a squadron leader in the security department, and it was not yet certain that he would become a regiment commander in the future. ”

The armed forces of the ocean company, ten people are a squad.

Fifty people for a squadron.

Three hundred people for a regiment.

The head of the regiment is already a high-level cadre of the Sino-Ocean Company.

"That's not it, Team Ji is young and promising, and he can be promoted to the head of the regiment in the future. I heard that after being promoted to the head of the regiment, not only do you have a small villa to live in, but you also have a lot of benefits every month, and you can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. Captain Ji is developed, but don't forget the brothers. ”

Gru's eyes lit up with envy.

He came to the kingdom of the sea god to make money.

I really want to make a lot of money in my dreams.

Then go back to your hometown and let your parents and relatives see how great they are now.

Gru thought that if he could become a squadron leader or regiment commander in the future, he would earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, and he couldn't help grinning the corners of his mouth and smirking all over his face.

Ali's stinky woman actually laughed at me for being poor and ugly, and when I made money, I had to let her see it.

We're going to have a chance now.

Isn't it just the village flower, what's the big deal?

When the time comes, we will take the money and smash her to her knees, and then marry her home, and let her serve us every day.

"Stinky boy, stop smirking."

"Saliva fell to the ground."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed when they looked at Gru's appearance.

Gru's face turned red and he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

Ji Xiaowu looked at the scene of his subordinates frolicking, and couldn't help but smile. He likes his life very much, no, I should say that he enjoys it very much.

Half a year ago, he was sold to traffickers by his father as a piglet.

After that, he was sent to the exploration company of the American Federation, and became a dead soldier of the American Federation to explore the country of the sea god, wandering on the edge of life and death again and again, and even thought that he might not be able to see the sun the next day. Later, because he couldn't stand the cruelty of the exploration company, he escaped during an exploration mission.

After that, he lived a difficult life and almost starved to death in the garbage heap of the mermaid market.

Until he was discovered by Qingqiu Ying and brought back to the company.

The experience after that was like a dream.

In just a few months, he changed from a gate guard of the Sino-Ocean Company to a squadron leader, with more than fifty people under his command.

Not only does he have a private room in the mermaid market, but he also has a salary of 10,000 US dollars per month, and various subsidies far exceed the salary.

Thinking of the boss who gave him all this, Ji Xiaowu's expression became fanatical.

For the sake of the boss and the company, I must work harder.

"Captain, it's not me saying that this Xuguo is really excessive. Our ocean company is the manager of the fifth district, and it was ranked ninety-three in this invitation, which is simply looking down on our company. ”

"That is, the prosperity companies in the eight districts are all ranked third, and we are only more than ninety, and the second-class invitation is too much."

Everyone chatted and talked about the invitation letter of Xuguo, and some people were full of indignation and were particularly dissatisfied with Xuguo's arrangement.

Ji Xiaowu shook his head slightly.

"Don't say any more of these words," he warned, and don't forget what this place is. If you let the people of Xuguo hear it, you can't afford it. ”

After Ji Xiaowu finished speaking, he was afraid that these subordinates would cause trouble, so he comforted again.

"The U.S. Federation is still the world's largest power, and it is not ranked twenty-nine, and it is almost the same treatment as us."

"There is a reason why Xuguo arranged it this way. Our Sino-Ocean Company developed relatively late, and there were relatively few transactions with Xuguo in the past two and a half months, so it is understandable that it was ranked behind. ”

"Besides, there are thousands of large and small company teams in the Mermaid Market, and there are no more than a hundred of them invited."

Originally, everyone just complained casually, expressed their recognition and loyalty to the company, and made a show.

Hearing Ji Xiaowu say this, he naturally didn't say anything more.

They also know that Xuguo is not something that Sino-Ocean Company can afford to provoke.

If you really annoy Xuguo, whether you can go back alive is a question mark.

Gru's eyes rolled as he saw the dreary atmosphere, surveying the sea.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he pointed to a luxury yacht not far away, and let out a sharp voice: "Look, beauty, big beauty!" ”

Hearing the beauty, everyone on the ship invariably followed the prestige.

Show the same expression.

I saw that on the luxury yacht not far away, a beautiful woman in a red slim evening dress was standing on the deck.

She faced the howling sea breeze, her long golden hair flew wantonly, and the long red dress of silk was as soft as water, hunting in the wind, almost completely clinging to her sexy body, outlining the wonderful curves.

The young woman is noble and elegant, like a noble lady who came out of the TV, just standing on the deck facing the sea breeze, you can feel the noble temperament exuded by her.

"Hey, it's really a big beauty, the stinky boy has a vision."

"Suck it, it's okay, big beauty, I'll give you full marks."

"Rub, I thought there were only men in this ghost place, and I could meet such a beautiful woman."

"Brothers, don't look at it, beware of being remembered."

"Cut, we're just looking at a beautiful woman, what's so great about this, and still being remembered. Besides, she is not afraid to come out dressed like this, so we are not allowed to see it. ”

"Stupid, you don't look at the sign on the yacht."

"See clearly, this is the royal yacht on which the sun never sets, representing the royal family and the government on which the sun never sets."

"What, this beauty is a royal family whose sun never sets."

"It may not be a member of the royal family, but the person who can take this yacht is definitely not an ordinary person, it should be an ambassador or something like the sun never sets."

Hearing that the sun never sets, everyone who was admiring the beauty withdrew their gaze.

Although the sun never sets has declined, it still has a certain prestige in the world. Even if the former world hegemon has decayed, the aftermath is enough to make ordinary people fearful.

Along the way, everyone saw a lot of big people with extraordinary backgrounds.

Representative of the United States Federation.

Representative of the Black Moon Alliance.

and big names from all over the world.

Seeing so many big people, everyone on the yacht also became honest.

Matou Island.

Yang Hua got off the yacht, stood on the dock, looked at the thousands of yachts on the sea, and sighed: "Today is really lively. ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen a scene like this."

"Real person, what do you say the underwater city of Xuguo looks like?"

Yang Hua looked sideways at Lei Ming, who was standing beside him, with an itchy look, and asked curiously.

"Nonsense, I haven't been to Poor Dao, how do you know what the underwater city of Xuguo will look like."

"Won't you be able to see it right away, and ask so much for what?"

Lei Ming reprimanded angrily.

Yang Hua, as a representative of Daomeng, has strong capital support and has the opportunity to enter the undersea city with a ranking of eighty-nine.

Since getting the invitation letter from Xuguo, Yang Hua has been restless, and he has to ask once every three days.

Now Lei Ming has a headache when he hears the three words of Undersea City.

Yang Hua smiled awkwardly.

He was excited.

Although the Yang family can be regarded as a wealthy gentry, it is really nothing in the country of the sea god and in the mermaid market.

At this moment, he was invited to come on behalf of the Daomeng, becoming one of the 100 guests in the world who were invited by Xuguo to go to the underwater city, and the first human beings to enter the underwater city were destined to go down in history. With such glory, even if Yang Hua is a big businessman with a net worth of tens of billions, he can't calm down.

However, sensing Lei Ming's impatience, Yang Hua didn't dare to say more.

He came to Pier 6 and waited for the staff of Asahi Country.

When Yang Hua came here, there were already a lot of people at Pier No. 6.

Here, Yang Hua also saw some acquaintances.

It's not that the relationship is good, it's just that there is contact because of work.

For example, Mr. Carey, the representative of the United States Federation.

and the Sun Never Sets Ambassador, Mrs. Joan, Major Pound.

Tomoshi Tokugawa, the representative of the Black Moon Alliance.

Yan Juxu, the representative of Changsheng Company.

Seeing these old acquaintances, Yang Hua took the initiative to greet them.

He walked to Yan Juxu first: "Haha, Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your demeanor is even better." ”

Daomeng and the Yan family have a good relationship, after Yang Hua was elected as a representative of the Daomeng, he has met Yan Juxu a few times, which is relatively familiar.

Of course, the most important thing is that the two companies have a good working relationship.

Yan Juxu responded with a smile, and then bent down to salute Lei Ming: "Juxu has seen Lei Zhenren. ”

"I haven't seen it for ten years, and the real person's demeanor is the same as before."

Lei Ming waved his hand casually, made a headache, and said with a flat mouth: "You have to get it, don't be so polite, Poor Dao will have a headache when he sees you being serious." ”

"Hahaha, real people are still so free."

Yan Juxu laughed heartily.

"Hey, did you know each other before?"

Yang Hua didn't expect Yan Juxu to be so familiar with Lei Ming, and he was quite surprised.

"I know, Lei Zhenren traveled the world ten years ago and did us a great favor. Although they haven't seen each other for ten years, Lei Zhenren's demeanor has never been forgotten. ”

Listening to Yan Juxu's explanation, Yang Hua suddenly realized.

But he didn't dig any further.

Some topics are just up to now, and blindly delving into them is a matter of ignorance.

Several people talked and laughed, sometimes looking at other forces and evaluating the forces of all parties.

Half an hour later, Pier 6 was already bustling with activity.

More than 100 forces and hundreds of people are surrounded in twos and threes, which is quite eye-catching.

Everyone talked and laughed, and most of them expressed great concern about the underwater city of Xuguo.

It wasn't until the arrival of Bei Yao that people's discussions quieted down.

Afar.

Bei Yao was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress and walked slowly gracefully.

Behind her, followed by a hundred Qingqiu fox clans dressed in red armor.

The armor on the body of the Qingqiu fox clan is different from the armor of the ancient generals, and is more like the armor in science fiction works.

Or a simplified Western knight's armor, which fits the body curves better.

Naturally, these armors are not ordinary armor stomachs, but military equipment that has been upgraded several times in the Asahi Kingdom.

The outer layer of armor is a thin sheet of metal, which has very special properties and can absorb kinetic energy. To put it simply, if there is an impact, this layer of metal can convert the force of the impact into other energy, which can then be stored in the body.

Of course, this transformation is certainly not unlimited, and an ordinary pistol bullet hits it almost without leaving much of a mark.

But in the face of a heavy weapon like Gatling, it is relatively weak.

And this brings us to the middle layer of the armor.

The middle layer of the armor has a special protective layer made by the Nuwa people, which can release an almost transparent protective shield when encountering a powerful impact.

This layer of shield has a very good ability to resist energy attacks, as well as physical attacks, and the effect is like the energy shield in science fiction works.

However, this layer of energy shield can only block the bullets of the submachine gun, and the effect is very weak in the face of shells, or heavy weapons such as Gatling.

In general, it belongs to the super-fortified version of body armor.

The inner layer of the armor is leather and cloth, mainly to make the wearer more comfortable.

Although it looks golden, the armor as a whole is actually very light. The weight of a complete set of armor does not exceed five catties, which is nothing compared to the strong protection it brings.

A hundred Qingqiu fox clans wore crimson armor and walked forward, as if they were one.

Their arrival attracted the attention of almost everyone.

Because this is the first appearance of the Asahi Armored Corps.

The invited guests looked at the mighty soldiers of the Asahi Kingdom and let out a sigh of amazement.

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen the soldiers of the Asahi Kingdom wearing armor, and it's really different from the previous ones."

"That's not it, look at this momentum, it's not simple, it's really not simple."

"It's pointless to just look at the momentum, the key is the weaponry. It's not the first time we've been here on Matou Island, but it's the first time we've seen soldiers in red armor. Xu Guo let these soldiers appear at this time, to say that there is no idea in this, I don't believe it. ”

"Ideas, what can Xu Guo think, at most it is not to show off his strength."

"Haha, that's right."

While everyone was talking, Pei Yao had already arrived at the dock with the army.

She smiled: "Thank you very much for your support for my country's trade, and thank you very much for accepting my country's invitation." ”

Hearing Bei Yao's politeness, the guests who had already been unable to hold back urged one after another.

"Ms. Pei is polite."

"Ambassador, it's almost time to leave, when are we heading to Undersea City. Since I received the invitation letter from your country, I haven't had a good night's sleep for half a month, and I've been dreaming about what your country's underwater city will look like. ”

"Haha, I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep with excitement, but it turned out that there were other people like me."

"Each other, Ms. Pei Yao, how are we going to get to Underwater City?"

Everyone, you and I, don't have the stability that a big man should have, and his words are full of expectation and excitement.

The corners of Pei Yao's lips curled slightly, and she smiled.

Her clear and warm beautiful eyes swept over everyone, and she laughed softly: "Since you have been waiting for a long time, let's get on the boat." ”

Hearing that they were on the boat, everyone showed surprise and doubt.

Is it possible to take a boat to the underwater city?

However, before everyone could speak, they saw a stormy sea in the sea near the pier.

A behemoth burrowed up from the bottom of the sea.

It was more than 130 meters long, shaped like a shuttle, and like an airplane with its wings cut off, and its appearance was turquoise blue with white lines, which was very exquisite.

In the sun, the body of the shuttle exudes a metallic luster, full of science and technology.

At this moment, the shuttle floats about ten meters above the sea surface, levitating out of thin air!

As soon as this behemoth appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and caused a chorus of exclamations.
