ACT018: Sneak Attacker
With the help of Kabbala, who played the temporary guest appearance in "Mobile Crematorium", the dwarf mercenaries cremated all the bodies of the 50 victims on the Agility Number into ashes in just 2 hours, and prepared to take them back for burial after the operation was over. However, when they were about to deal with the Agility Number, Scardo had some differences with the Enterprise Groundman Captain.
Destruction must be destroyed. It is impossible for the dwarf to throw an airship with a complete body here without hesitation just because this is the backward Nanfengzhou. Although this thing is called a "civilian version", many of the technologies above cannot be easily put into the hands of other countries.
Scardo advocated blowing it up and then set off immediately. After all, time does not wait for anyone, and the captain of the Enterprise hopes to take some more time to remove the parts that are still usable by the Agility.
Because the Enterprise had discovered a serious accident before, causing the airship to be grounded, the first search and rescue team did not bring the Enterprise with them when they set off. It was not until they did not return on time that the branch urgently repaired the Enterprise and organized the second search and rescue team. The captain was very worried that the airship would suddenly "get aside" halfway, so he hoped to make some parts for emergency needs.
The dispute ended with Scaldo's concession, because they needed to search for another airship, "Voyager", afterwards, so it was necessary to ensure the normal operation of the Enterprise. In addition, it was too late at this time and it suddenly started to rain. The airship was easily in danger when it took off in such weather. Scaldo could only agree to the captain's request and stayed here for one night, and waited for the rain to stop tomorrow morning before departure.
At dinner, the dwarves who participated in the daytime burial work lost their appetite to eat, and Weiss and Ling Lan simply gave up two mouthfuls of dry bread. But the mate who was so dying, the goblin on the boat was suffering from high blood lipids and could not eat meat. So when he passed by the cauliflower soup with his own cauliflower soup, the green soup immediately changed everyone present, and they covered their mouths and rushed to escape from the cafeteria, making the first mate who had not left the cabin during the day a little unclear.
“Is cauliflower soup so scary?”
Running out of the cafeteria, Weiss and Ling Lan ran directly to the observation cabin at the stern of the boat before stopping. At this time, Weiss noticed that she had grabbed Ling Lan's hand and ran to the present. Fortunately, the other party didn't understand what "the harm between men and women" is. Even if Weis couldn't help but touch it twice, she didn't care at all.
It is worth mentioning that although Ling Lan started practicing guns and sticks since she was a child, her hands were not only a bit hard, but she did not practice a rough "old man's hand" that was daunting. This has a lot to do with her getting the chess pieces at the age of 12 and her physical fitness was greatly strengthened and improved. Otherwise, with her martial arts strength, she would have changed to an ordinary girl who had already become a "female tomboy" with eight-pack abs.
Weiss had explored Ling Lan's words before and knew that the other party still had no "main" chess piece, and he happened to be the king without a flag, so he really wanted to invite the other party to join his team. However, since Ling Lan knew that Weiss was the "king" until now, although the other party had been with him, he had never expressed his intention to join the group.
You should know that not all chess owners are interested in the game of Wangqi. Some warriors with strong self-esteem would rather practice slowly by themselves than participate in game competitions, and resign themselves to please the gods in exchange for rewards. Ling Lan's master "Donglin Gun King" Li Tongchen is such a person, and Ling Lan may have the same idea as his apprentice. But after all, what really makes Weiss hesitate is his own condition.
Weiss, who escaped from Baker's Principality, has only one "black king". If you save money, you can barely last for three months. If you are poor, if you want to form your own team, you will probably have to find a kind of stupid person who would rather bring your own living expenses than be with him, a true fan and a "something to do".
OK! Being handsome can barely be considered an invisible capital.
At this time, there were only Weiss and Ling Lan in the tail observation cabin with little space. It was raining heavily outside, and there were lightning and thunder from time to time. The atmosphere of a lonely man and a widow was quite good, so Weiss planned to take the opportunity to invite Ling Lan... to "form a team".
"Ling Lan, I want to..."
"Wright, have you heard any strange sound?" As soon as Weis spoke, he was interrupted by Ling Lan halfway through his words, and he blocked him back, making Weis feel cryless, but he dared not express it.
“…What did you hear?”
"I can't hear clearly, but the sound should have come from that direction."
Ling Lan pointed to the alert number not far away. So Weis walked to the window and put his ear on the window to listen. Sure enough, in the noisy rain and lightning, he could vaguely hear some screams. Weis immediately thought of the goblin technicians who were still left to remove parts on the alert number, and immediately said "Not good"!
"Ling Lan, you go and call Kabala and Skado immediately and ask them to come to the communication room as soon as possible, and then they said something might have happened on the smart phone!"
At a critical moment, Weiss didn't care about "taking off the girl". After giving instructions, Ling Lan quickly ran to the communication room of the Enterprise. The goblin technicians brought a short-range communicator to keep in touch with the Enterprise at any time. Therefore, Weiss hopes to know what was going on there as soon as possible through this.
As soon as he ran into the communication room, Weiss saw the goblin in charge of communication staring at a suspicious book with a lewd face. So he went up and grabbed the book in his hand, then pressed the other party's bald head (the goblin's national hairstyle) and twisted to the communicator.
"Quick! Contact me the technician on the smart number and ask what happened there?"
"Yes, but this kind of heaven communicator cannot be used!" The goblin who was pressed replied pitifully.
"ha!?"
It turns out! Although the design intention of this world's communicator is the same as that of the earth and even accused of being a copycat, its working principle is completely different. The communicator developed based on guidance technology uses magic elements that are everywhere in the world. The advantage is that this thing does not need to be charged. The built-in crystal slice will automatically absorb magic elements and provide a continuous stream of energy for the device. The disadvantage is that once you encounter bad weather like the present, highly active magic elements will seriously interfere with the communicator and make it unable to operate normally.
There is no way! When the communicator failed, if Weiss wanted to know the situation on the Zhishi, he could only run over and take a look. Weiss waited for Ling Lan to bring Kabala and Skado over, and briefly explained it. Skado immediately gathered his subordinates and brought half of the dwarf mercenaries to follow Weiss and the others to rush towards the Zhishi.
As soon as they got on the airship, everyone found that in addition to the stench that had not yet dissipated, there was another bloody smell in the air. There was also a cry for help from deep in the cabin. Scardo, who was eager to save people, rushed over first, and other dwarf mercenaries followed closely. Seeing that Ling Lan was still holding her spear, Weiss asked her to guard the door to respond.
The dwarves who rushed into the sound ran to the power chamber of the Agility. They saw a dwarf mercenary upside down at the door, with a shelling axe inserted on their backs. The 25-centimeter axe blade at the front had completely disappeared into the armor. The murderer's power was even better than that of ordinary dwarf warriors. Scardo walked to the fallen dwarf, took off the other side's face armor, reached out to touch the carotid artery, and shook his head helplessly at the others behind him.
"It's dead." Scardo arranged a total of 6 mercenaries here to assist and protect the goblin technicians. The dwarf in front of him was the leader of this group of mercenaries.
"Boss, the murderer must have not run away yet, let's chase after him!"
"Don't act rashly. One group goes into the power chamber to see if there are any survivors. The two groups are on the spot alert."
The cautious Scaldo realized that the murderer was not only extremely powerful, but also very insidious and cunning. The dead dwarf was Scaldo's old comrade-in-arms. He served in the army for 8 years like him. He was a veteran with rich combat experience, but the other party's body had no trace except the fatal injuries behind it. Obviously, he did not notice the threat from behind before he was killed.
"Old pit, do you think it's possible that it was made by chess pieces?"
"It's not very similar. If it's a combat system, it's not difficult to split it in half with an axe, but it's not ruled out that the other party deliberately kept his hands to confuse our judgment."
Chapter completed!
