Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Now, due to the lack of scientific research conditions in the flash land and the fact that the laboratory in the swamp was blown up by the self-destruction program activated before South Union City retreated, the interpretation of the intelligent core has stalled.

However, this project, which was supposed to be kept extremely secret, had one party who always knew its whereabouts... and that was its original owner.

This created a rather unfavorable situation: holding the intelligent core, they could not effectively convert it into results for a while, but it was equivalent to holding a hot potato.

As time goes by, the likelihood of exposure increases.

South Union City's temptation and revenge will become more and more fierce.

The Shadow Man led the Water Tribe to guard the southern wetlands, and was already fighting wits and courage with Colons' spies and troops... And today's killer team has already explored the Shandi, which is also an example.

This problem must be solved once and for all as soon as possible, and we cannot wait until the day it completely breaks out.

then.

This is how the generals devise their plans.

When Lu Meng decided to meet this group of technology hunters, his original reason was not to use them to promote the establishment of a flash station.

Rather: the technology hunters operating in the south will inevitably have contact with the Southern United City and major imperial city-states, and as local branches, they are most likely to be infiltrated.

Thousands of clues and unclear connections.

Rather, Lu Meng would be disappointed if there were no imperial spies among them.

It means looking for another opportunity.

A big drama.

You have to show it to the right people.

Sora stepped over the broken bones and flesh on the ground and silently collected their remaining weapons and equipment - henceforth the trophies.

And when he saw the spiked carapace and the giant limbs, the processing chip also overheated slightly.

'Fish-shaped man...'

As for their origin, the remaining skeleton community also has various speculations...but in the final analysis, they are still inseparable from the once extremely glorious Second Empire.

Therefore, he did not want to say more.

However, as he became more familiar with the Red King, the skeletal man no longer felt guilty about keeping secrets at first... Sora had a vague premonition. Why did he feel that the other party knew more than him?

Could it be that he is really a skeleton?

That's it.

However, Sola still told Lu Meng a piece of news: It was rumored that at the end of the Second Empire, a very famous weapon was left nearby, in the extreme south of the continent.

But later on, fish-shaped people flooded over, and the adventurers' bodies disappeared, and no one could go there to look for them.

And with the ebb and flow of the tide, it might have sunk in the deep sea long ago.

But it is still a thought.

Sola silently collected the flesh and blood of the fish-shaped man, and the thick slurry slipped from his iron-gray mechanical arm, bit by bit.

Those mourning mine hunters couldn't bear the stench and forced themselves to retching... Only a skeleton man like him could do this job.

There is no intelligent core in Shandi... This news was obtained at the cost of their blood.

These corpses.

That's the opposite.

It is used for its enemies.

Maybe that's how human nature is.

No one will cherish what they get for free, and may even be full of doubts - however, if they pay the price, they will be like a healed scar and believe it for the rest of their lives.

Call it a lesson.

As a Skeleton Man, even if he heard such a truth, Sola couldn't really understand it... But on the other side, the person who deeply understands human nature and plays with it... how terrifying it must be.

No wonder they were called monsters.

Different from fish-shaped people.

That's a scarier monster.

His friends, the skeleton men Kurt and Sadnier, had always held this view... But now, Sola also found that this view was both right and wrong.

His methods are indeed terrifying.

But he finally achieved his goal.

But what they actually do is much cleaner than those who talk a lot about justice.

At least to one's own people.

"When the news spreads, and Mr. Budd finds a way to add fuel to the flames, everyone will know what happened today...and those who are interested will deduce the 'truth' they want them to know from the embellished descriptions." Sora's logic worked and he recalled the previous plan, "We don't have an intelligent core - although it is impossible to turn enemies into friends with South Union City, we can avoid becoming their top priority target at the moment."

Now that the beast plague has receded, the land of Shandi is certainly less under direct pressure... but it also means facing many city-states in the Skeleton Wasteland in the south.

The extent of the threat between the two has not yet been determined.

And this buys time.

It will become a golden window for their development.

Many operations are possible.

However, if you want to completely eliminate the suspicion of possessing an intelligent core...

They also need a [scapegoat].

…

…

There was a lot of noise and chaos in the city.

Although the turmoil of the beaked orangutans was quickly calmed down, the reason for their rage has not yet been identified, and they also attacked the "VIP" technology hunters.

Now the guards in Shandi are conducting a large-scale search.

Since the founding of Shandi City, the policy of absorbing refugees and increasing the labor force has been all-encompassing, but if it expands too fast, it will be difficult to avoid a mixture of good and bad.

There was such a big search.

I actually found quite a few people with problems.

This has increased the workload of the guards. They cannot confirm whether these people are the culprits of the riot or the others who are just trying to fish in troubled waters with ill intentions.

They can only be detained and interrogated together.

It seems that it will take a long time to fully understand.

Although the guards of Shandi are vigorous and resolute, such a large-scale action has objectively created chaos from another perspective.

It has given some truly capable people.

an opportunity to take advantage of.

- Even if he himself is just fleeing.

In the corner.

A figure emerged, but it was Deng Li.

Torches, searchlights, two moons in the sky... The changing light and shadows illuminated the uncertain and frightened expression on the face of this technology hunter.

He didn't know when he sneaked out of the Black Stone Hall secretly. Maybe it was when he saw the Eagle Crossbow smashing the core shell, or maybe it was earlier. He had been paying attention to this target and found clues from the appearance and the frequency and weight of the vibration...

Fake!

When he realized this fact, Deng Li's heart was shaken and his mind was blank.

Even he himself could not recall how he was able to escape during the chaos and when no one was paying attention, and he did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

When he came to his senses.

He had already hidden in the city of Shandi.

And the amazing speculation once again surfaced in his consciousness, making this technology hunter tremble all over:

Before, Colons and the two ladies of the Drifting End were so sure that the intelligence core was lost and fell into the hands of the Red King.

That was because he was the only winner and survivor in the battle of Shark Village.

The possibility was naturally the highest.

Even if he did not get the intelligence core at that time, he would have plenty of time to search later, and the thing would fall into his hands sooner or later.

The planning of the two ladies was also based on this point...

However, is it really like this?

The hooded guard Chai Shi sent by Mrs. Grace, the Red Sword Group trained by Mrs. Meilin, the Red Swordsman created by the biochemical experiment... and the representative of the Merchant Guild, the waiter Yamudu.

At first, everyone thought.

They were annihilated, and no one could walk out of the swamp alive.

All buried in the jungle.

But...

Now it seems that

Yamud is still alive! ?
