Chapter 26 - The Pursuit of the Air Thieves

"Woohoohoo..." The sound of the engine igniting and humming sounded.

In this boring and unfamiliar metal cemetery, it is undoubtedly inspiring to hear such a voice, whether it is Xia Ying, who has recovered his coldness, or Jimmy, who is exhausted, or Warren, who had a conflict with Lin Hai before.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses, and the young man they had thought before was a mechanic, and repairing cars should be a good job. In fact, Lin Hai only happened to know the crux of this car, he used to have no problem repairing old-fashioned mechs in Junk Star, this kind of simple repair is not technical work, just physical work.

Just watching Lin Hai repair the car, Warren, Jimmy and others immediately became worried, Xia Ying naturally couldn't pull down, Jimmy was very spineless and wanted to talk to Lin Hai, but he also felt that it was not easy to speak.

Until they looked at Lin Hai's car, they were still thinking about what they would do if he really drove away like this?

Just when everyone was thinking about being on the opposite side of Lin Hai, Lin Hai had already driven to the four of them and poked his head out, "Hurry up and get in the car!" "

Jimmy, Lu Ming and the two of them were pardoned, and pulled Warren into the back seat of the driver, at this juncture, Xia Ying was not polite, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing the four people seated, Lin Hai slammed the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, this box car from Jiang Zhi's basement, with great power, suddenly accelerated, pulled up the huge smoke and dust on the ground, and pushed everyone to the seat, and could only stare wide-eyed as Lin Hai drove the truck to speed through this ruin.

If it were anyone else, Jimmy Warren and the others would have scolded a long time ago, but they looked at Lin Hai's back from behind and closed their mouths at the right time. Xia Ying ignored the lady's tidying up of her hairline, and then silently buckled the seat belt, and at this time, regardless of the seat belt, she made a proud arc in the middle of her chest. She didn't speak, but grabbed the handle with a white hand, and then stared fiercely at the road ahead, biting her lip slightly, her face was still a little white and flushed, like the color of the stellar light shining on the fine porcelain, as if she was preparing to fight some fierce beast.

Seeing her like this, Warren knew that Xia Ying was angry, and she was not a girl who gave in. So her current move is to compete with Lin Hai.

Because now not only Xia Ying, but even Jimmy Warren and others are sure that Lin Hai is deliberate. is deliberately venting his dissatisfaction with them, deliberately taking revenge on them in such a rapid way.

In their eyes, the image of Lin Hai in front of them can be equated with a hateful face.

  ...

At this time, in the outer space near the New South Star, among the high-speed stealthy air thief transports, Tawasi, known as the "butcher", was looking at the photo of the woman on the electronic screen.

It was a photo of Xia Ying's life, she was lazily leaning on the beach, wearing a simple T-shirt, a pair of shorts underneath, two long legs as white as jade and barefoot, stepping on the wooden floor, the sea breeze lifted her hair, so that her pretty face and her entire slender body were frozen in light and shadow.

Tavasi's tongue licked from left to right, and then said, "This is the woman the big man wants us to find?" "

On the transport ship at this time, dozens of air thieves under Tavasi stared at the light screen, they were all characters who licked blood with knives, and they were in contact with those killing machines that smelled of blood and oil, such a woman, such a photo, appeared in the light screen of the command room at this time, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely out of place. Facing her innocent face, those greedy and reverie-filled eyes, like a pair of black holes, seemed to swallow the picture.

One of the men in control of the transport ship smiled "hehe", "This girl is much more beautiful than the women who have been robbed and played with by the brothers in the past... Boss, is she really our bargaining capital with the Empire? "

"When that imperial bigwig cried me, I was still skeptical, but looking at it like this, it shouldn't be bad! This woman is very related, and some people don't seem to want to see the two families behind her, so they inform us that the big names of the empire want to secretly eradicate this woman in the midst of a corrupt power struggle... But it also shows the significance of this woman, as long as we capture this woman, the empire will always throw a mouse against us. I don't know which damn force attacked the Seagull, and now these three major air thief groups near our New South Star will inevitably be liquidated by the Great Eagle Empire's fleet next! And whoever can hold this woman in his hands is equivalent to winning a gold medal for avoiding death! Tavasi looked outside the transport, the fleet belonging to Raphael's air thief group, and grinned coldly, "It's really not good, we can't stay away from here, and find another place to go where the Great Eagle Empire can't find us..."

He finally looked at Xia Ying on the light screen, and between the muscles of his face, he overflowed with possessiveness and excitement, "But before that... Such a superlative, if I Tavasi get it, the rest of my life can be described as a night and night singing! "

The photo of the quiet and elegant woman on the seaside on the light screen, the bandit and thief who is about to decide her fate, and the stench of desire is fermenting wantonly in this quiet universe.

  ...

Raphael's fleet of air thieves and Tavasi are parallel, and these two awkward fleets are quietly heading towards the planet at ghostly speed. Raphael is the best this time, just the five transport ships on the mecha, the book figure is fifty, in fact, among his flagship, there are also twenty additional mecha that can be assembled and participated in the battle at any time, a total of seventy.

At this moment, Raphael, who was dressed in red on the ship and had a bit of the Mora aristocratic dress of the last few centuries, naturally knew that Tavasi, the other big empty thief leader in the ships next to him, was definitely left behind.

It's just that capturing Xia Ying definitely doesn't require so many people, and the reason why he came out of the nest is precisely to prevent the other party from defecting at a critical moment. In the world of air thieves, one moment they greet each other with a smile, and the next moment they stab themselves with a knife towards their vests, which is really too numerous to mention.

As soon as the attack on the Seagull broke out, after a brief period of silence, Raphael and Tavasi signed an offensive and defensive alliance as quickly as possible according to the change of situation. At the same time, he also received a message from someone from the Great Eagle Empire about Xia Ying.

Obviously, at this moment, some people don't want Xia Ying to go back again, hoping that this woman will disappear forever in this attack.

"Miss Xia Ying, I'm a big fan of yours... The thought of seeing you soon, my heart and liver fluttered so hard... I've been seeing you on TV before, and this time I'm about to meet a real person, and you never know how excited I am... I don't know if you're looking forward to this kind of meeting as well..." Raphael was dressed in a red-clothed aristocratic outfit, but his face was extremely ugly, and the air thieves around him felt a shudder when they saw him put his hands together on his cheeks and look longing.

Because they have also seen the scene where Raphael chops a man alive with a dagger in such a tone, that he said something similar to that in front of him, "Come, don't cry... You see, this leg is out of meat, and we started cutting off one leg, wahaha, you see, it's bloody, it's so sweet..."

Everyone, as long as they have seen the scene of him killing people, no matter how strong the nerves are, no matter how strong the big man is, as long as they think of a good person gradually turning into a pile of white bones sticking to the strips of meat in his hands, they will shudder.

In Raphael's group of air thieves, he has always been ruled by this mystery and fear of him, rumors about him, have been taboo among the air thieves, it is said that he is a descendant of a nobleman in the empire, just because of the decline of the family, and the time of birth is extremely ugly, so he was abandoned, picked up by factory workers, and abused since childhood, so that he killed his adoptive father, fled to the star field, and became an air thief, and his personality is so extremely twisted.

Some people also say that he was indeed from a noble background, but because he fell in love with his biological mother, he was punished by local folk customs, cut and disfigured by the family knife, and then was blown away, and finally became an air thief.

No matter what you say, it can't hide the fact that Raphael grew up rough, and finally led to a distorted personality. Even he was very fond of killing, and the crew of those who had been robbed on cargo ships generally had the custom of air thieves to release captured passengers if there was a ransom. Otherwise, the head is cut off and placed in the graveyard.

And for Raphael, the one who does not pay the ransom, he likes to torture the other party to death slowly. Therefore, those who were robbed, as long as they heard that they were hijacked by Raphael's gang of air thieves, the ransom was paid the fastest. Because if the ransom is not paid, when the body is found, even the family members will not be able to recognize it.

The people on the plundered cargo ship, if they paid the ransom, were released if they were men, but if they were women, without exception, they were dragged into his room, and when he was satisfied with his lust and left, he often went to clean up his men, and saw only the miserable corpse of a woman.

So Raphael is in the world of air thieves, and he has the title of "Bloody Count".

At this moment, many members of Raphael's air thief gang thought of the sweet anchor Xia Ying, and then saw Raphael's longing expression, and knew that for this beauty who was admired by everyone in the empire and was in the upper class, Xinnanxing was probably the last place where she died.

  ...

At this time, only thirty kilometers away from the planetary graveyard, the vehicles and mechs of the Redil gang were speeding at high speed. Next to Reddil, who was driving, Shattrath was holding an electronic seismic map, and above the light screen, a bright spot was moving rapidly!

"The seismograph we laid in this area has spotted them! Their vehicle is now departing from the southwest of the cemetery, which is expected to be in the industrial area of the town of Lane! "

In the sky over the new southern satellite, because of stellar interference, and most of it is uninhabited, there is no such thing as a satellite skynet. The reason why the Reddier Air Thieves Gang is one of the three major air thieves in the New South Star Universe is because of their developed communication and reconnaissance methods. Not only did they find out the dispatch of Raphael and Tavasi, but even the movement of Lin Hai, Xia Ying and others' cars could also be detected through their special means.

The corners of Reddill's mouth, who was currently driving in person, lifted slightly, "Heh, it seems that the people in the shuttle are really not dead... What a bunch of clever little rats, the town of Ryan, three hundred kilometers away, is the nearest industrial area, as long as they get there, as the survivors of the Seagull, they can naturally restore communication with civilized society... But... Until then, we'll tell them in advance what despair is... Hehe... Take a detour ahead of them and intercept them... Cute little mice, it's time to take the bait! "

 

"You're enough!" After the van rushed over a dirt slope and a violent bump, Xia Ying couldn't help but scream.

Before, because of the unbreakable embarrassment between the two, she had been holding back, but now she finally couldn't bear to burst out, "What the hell are you doing?" She paused, then looked at Lin Hai from an immediate angle, "If you want to vent that little dissatisfaction in your heart in this way, I can only say that you are very naïve!" "

Lin Hai was stunned, turned his head, and looked at Xia Ying's beautiful eyes full of anger, and the three people behind him also stared at him questioningly, Lin Hai came back to his senses, and actually ignored the feelings of these people next to him.

Lin Hai pointed to a high slope not far from the car window, "Look there." "

The four of them followed his fingers, and it was a sloping ground with a metal pole, but it was not surprising, they were still ruins of metal, and mottled rust could be seen everywhere in the ship's graveyard. So all four of them were a little confused.

Warren scoffed, "What? It's just some scrap metal. "

"It's part of an array probe that's typically used for geological surveys and can detect movement on the surface." Lin Hai, who dealt with "scrap copper and rotten iron" in Junk Xingcheng Tiantian, recognized at a glance this kind of thing that had been "deliberately" arranged in this ruined area through some kind of camouflage and technique.

"So what?" Jimmy frowned.

Lin Hai can imagine that these people who deal with high society all day long are not aware of the hidden crisis, and they don't even have a sense of crisis, if such people are placed in the garbage star, it is impossible to survive even a week. "This kind of thing, I just came all the way over, and I saw three. If nothing else, there are no less than a hundred of these things in a radius of hundreds of kilometers, including here. "

Mentioning that such things were deliberately placed in a hundred, Jimmy, Warren, and even Xia Ying's expressions gradually became solemn, "What do you mean?" "

"Every such probe can effectively detect the vibration of the nearby surface, and hundreds of such things distributed in this area, combined, can completely expose the trajectory of our actions, if my prediction is not bad, at this time in a nearby corner, there must be people like air thieves, who are using the electronic map in their hands, watching our every move, and now the route and trajectory of our entire operation cannot escape their control!"

Xia Ying, Warren, Jimmy and others, the expressions on their faces at this time changed color in a slight solidification.

They have been in the upper echelons of the empire since their beginnings, and they have become accustomed to laughing about military politics on their lips, and they have become accustomed to the attitude that so-called terrorist activities and air thieves have nothing to do with them. Even if they were attacked in space, they only felt that the worst luck would come to an end, and they arrived on the surface of the New South Star and returned to civilized society, as if they were in heaven. Although this area has nothing to do with Paradise, they can still be rescued, and they are considered to be extremely lucky compared to the many people who died on the Pegasus frigate and the passenger ship Seagull. However, at this moment, they realized that they had landed not in heaven, but in a jungle full of dangerous beasts, and at any moment there was a murderous danger that would jump out of the shadows to attack them, and it was ridiculous that they still knew nothing.

At that moment, Xia Ying didn't dare to speak more, looked at those probes with a pair of eyes, and hesitated, "Then what should we do now?" If someone knows where we are, will we be able to get rid of them? "

"I can only try my best," Lin Hai opened the electronic map of his watch and revoked the previous navigation, "Originally, there was a three-hundred-kilometer-long route from here to the nearest industrial zone, but this road naturally can't be walked, otherwise it is likely to be chased by the front and back, and it will be copied by someone, from now on, we have to confuse each other from a fixed circle, and the final destination is four hundred kilometers away, where there is a place marked by the map as Congo Town, which is the nearest town except for the industrial zone, and the town is surrounded by fierce human activity, It's also hard for them to pinpoint us. Once in town, we might be able to get in touch with the New Southside. "

The van suddenly turned around and began to speed in the other direction.

  ...

Riverside Star. Lin Manor.

Until then, newspaper delivery vans were rushing through the neighborhood, delivering paper newspapers to every family that still enjoyed reading on paper like a slow old lady patrolling the streets.

But now, the delivery car is in a hurry, as if it were racing with someone.

Although he already knew some clues from the Internet in advance, Tang Nahai, the chief housekeeper of the Lin Manor who retrieved the newspaper, saw the eye-catching headline on the newspaper, his eyebrows were raised, and he didn't know whether he was lamenting the troubled life of people, or he was satisfied that the outside world was hot and the manor was still so quiet.

The Seagull passenger ship sent from the Empire to New South Star unfortunately suffered an accident on the way, and New South Star is currently making every effort to rescue the crew.

Although this emergency occurred on New South Star, two jump points from the Empire's orthodox intergalactic society, hundreds of light-years. However, the influence caused by the outbreak of such a thing can still penetrate the stars in an extremely fast time and reach the imperial society.

There was an accident on a passenger ship, and although the media of the empire did not know the specific cause, it did not affect people's concern and experience of it.

Lin Wei, the earl head and adopted daughter of the Lin manor, was in Xinnanxing at this time, so the wreck of this passenger ship also made a heated discussion in the quiet manor for a while, while expressing misfortune about this, the people of the manor were also glad that such a thing did not happen on the date when the earl and Lin Wei went to Xinnanxing, and fortunately the passenger ship to Xinnanxing at this time did not carry the staff of Wayne Company.

However, in Lin Hai's room, Ang Lee, who was taking care of it, "Bang! With a bang, the glass furnishings in his hands fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. A maid who was helping next to her looked at Li Ang in panic.

Smashing things in a nobleman's house is just as irreparable as stealing, because many times you don't know how much they are worth. However, Ang Lee had no intention of causing trouble, because when a bigger disaster struck like a tidal wave, it was difficult for people to worry about anything else. Looking at the crystal screen TV that was on, and looking at the news that was streaming with subtitles on the news channel, Ang Lee was so stunned for a while, he didn't know anything.

Attracted by the sound of smashing glass, it was Mrs. Ning Qing who had just passed by the corridor, hearing the sound coming from Lin Hai's house, she frowned and walked in, although she had not seen Lin Hai in the manor in recent days, but according to Lin Wei's meaning, Lin Hai has his own freedom at his disposal, not to mention that he will go to Qingyuan Academy in less than a month, it can be said that this Lin Hai is no longer the illegitimate child who has no status before.

Therefore, Ning Qing never asked about his whereabouts.

Passing by his room, I heard the sound of glass breaking, and then I remembered that I hadn't seen Lin Hai for a long time.

So he walked in, but what he saw was Ang Lee, who was sluggish.

Ning Qing didn't pay attention to the maid who saw her come in and hurriedly saluted, but watched Li An stunned at the TV and the broken glass on the ground, and then saw the content of the Seagull Disaster being played on the TV on the crystal screen at this time.

After a pause that was so short that it was almost suffocating, her blue eyes met Ang Lee's gaze that had only then come to her senses.

The pair of eyes that seemed to be accustomed to seeing the wind and waves and had a calm power seemed to be able to see through Li An at a glance, and her calm and majestic voice sounded with a little irrepressible surprise.

Lin Hai... Where are you now? "

 

"Are you crazy? dared to hide from the people of the manor and the earl to go to the New South Star... Who told you to do this... Ang Lee, who gave you the guts of a leopard to dare to hide it like this? "

Ning Qing's voice came down from the spiral staircase, followed by the sound of hurried heels and marble steps colliding.

The Countess's angry voice was not loud, at most the welcome hall on the ground floor and the corridor near the spiral staircase on the second floor echoed, but the whole manor was silent for this, and there was no sound at all.

At this time, those employees of the manor, whether it is a maid, a male maid, a gardener, a cook, or even a lawn caddy, have all undergone strict training before entering the manor. Being able to work in the manor of the Planetary Speaker's family, these people have no background, and once they get out of here, they are afraid that they will be able to get a middle and high-level position in the Lin family's Wayne Enterprise immediately.

Everyone regards the various rules and regulations of the Lin family, the pioneer of the riverside star inherited over the past hundred years, as a guideline, and they dare not exceed half an inch. Even every time you see the chief butler Donnahai passing by the staff dormitory, whether you are eating at the table, having a meeting or chatting, whether you are the first manservant or the lady's close maid, you have to immediately stand up with your head held high to show respect. In such a seemingly quiet manor but under the high pressure of strict rules and regulations, Ang Lee is definitely an alternative in everyone's eyes.

When Ang Lee came to the manor, the most important factor was Lin Hai, the illegitimate son who suddenly arrived, otherwise, with Ang Lee's qualifications, how could he directly skip the secretariat of Wayne's company and be directly transferred to the manor. may be the lord and the servant, Ang Lee's arrival was a bit sudden, and he was also excluded from their circle by the people of the manor, intentionally or unintentionally. The crooked bowels inside the seemingly quiet manor will not be much less than the office struggles in the company group, and many people are just waiting to see what happens to the illegitimate child, and when this young and inexperienced Ang Lee will be bad.

Who knows that if he doesn't make a sound, he will already be a blockbuster. actually did such a shocking thing as soon as he did it, this news caused a sensation in the manor in the shortest time, and almost everyone knew that Ang Lee and Lin Hai secretly planned to go to New South Star, and concealed that Lin Hai secretly went to Wayne's company in New South Star Industrial Zone... And then there was the accident of the Seagull passenger ship!

Those who originally had nothing to do with themselves still watched this sudden passenger ship wreck with the attitude of a disaster movie, who knew that the storm that broke out in Xinnanxing, hundreds of light years away, would affect the Lin manor like this!

Seeing the big butler Donald Hay's face that was sinking as if he had been poured a few pounds of lead, looking at the Countess's thunderous anger, and then looking at Li An, who was at a loss in the center of such a storm, many employees of the manor even sympathized with this Li Anlai.

The consequences of this incident are almost unbearable for him! It is already a sure thing that he Li An will be dismissed, but this is not the biggest disaster for him, the biggest disaster is that the Lin family is likely to hold Li An accountable for the crime of abusing his power without permission, and a small private housekeeper who wants to sanction his subordinates for doing wrong things can make him unable to get out of prison in this life!

"Is there a way to communicate with Lin Hai?" After Ning Qing calmed down strongly, he said to Li An.

This is in the earl's study, there are only two people, Tang Nahai and Ning Qing, but Li An knows how bad this matter is, and that sense of oppression comes all the time with the pressing eyes of Tang Nahai and Ning Qing, which is about to suffocate him.

"Originally, it was through mobile phone communication, but after the passenger ship entered the New South Star Universe, it lost contact." Ang Lee shook his head.

Ning Qing looked at Donnahai and said, "Contact the disaster relief team of Xinnanxing immediately, we have to confirm whether there is Lin Hai's name in the list of deaths and missing people in the accident." "

"Understood!" Donnahai turned and walked out of the study.

Ning Qing covered his forehead, supported the table with the red flower wood with the other hand, and then crossed the hand on the table, raised his head to look at Li An, and his tone was as cold as the weathered rock of the Tata Star, "I don't want to warn you about anything, but I think you should know how bad this matter is, and the responsibility for your negligence?" "

Li An stood in place, a little distracted grinning at the corners of his mouth, "I know, madam." "

Ning Qing nodded, turned around and dialed the projection phone of Xinnanxing. Due to the influence of the new South Star during the stellar coronal period, it is necessary to connect to the industrial area of the Wayne Group through a relay station, which is extremely resource-intensive, and there is only one place in the entire New South Star, which is only responsible for maintaining communication with the outside world in the stellar coronal industrial area.

After the long data link transfer, on the other side of the projector, there was a real projection of Lin Wei, the earl of the industrial zone at this time, he was on the desk, looking at the lady Ning Qing on the other end of the phone, and frowned, "I heard that you are looking for me, has anything happened during the time I left the manor?" "

"... I don't know if you know, the passenger ship Seagull was shipwrecked in New Southern..."

Lin Wei stopped his handwriting pen, "I thought that at least tomorrow the mainstream media of the empire would report on this... Why, does the Riverside Star already know? The cause of the air crash is currently unknown, and the situation is currently blocked and controlled by the military, and the ships of the New South Star Military Airport have gone to the rescue and salvage the rescue capsule. We also sent a volunteer team to send some supplies, but the people who were rescued from the escape pods were under the protection of the military, and none of them had contact with the outside world... I always feel that this incident is very unusual..."

Ning Qing clenched the table, his knuckles were a little white because he was too hard, "This is what I want to tell you..."

"Lin Hai, two days ago, left the manor for New South Star without permission... At the time of the Seagull accident... He's on that ship..."

  ...

New South Star's industrial estate is an important part of Wayne's overall strategy, and the thousands of employees here are the last pillars of Wayne Industries' economy. At this stormy juncture, the arrival of Earl Lin Wei and the legendary Wayne Company with a very high status, and the arrival of the exquisite girl coveted by countless celebrities in the upper class Toshihiko did make the employees of the industrial zone like a scoop of water poured into a smelting furnace to help ignite the steel fire of Douyan.

Many of the workers who worked here were descendants of the workers who followed the first count. For Wayne Enterprise, the grace of the Riverside Xinglin family has indescribable loyalty, and it is not only because the industrial area of New South Star has the highest employee benefits in Wayne Company. As a worker who has worked in Wayne Enterprises for generations, it is natural that my affection for this nearly 100-year-old enterprise has never weakened.

Their lives, their humiliation, and the knowledge and skills that their descendants have learned, are all paid for the first purpose of growing the Wayne enterprise.

It is important to know that the children and grandchildren of the workers in the industrial zone will have additional priority admission qualifications after entering a series of supporting education, and entering Riverside Star and some technical universities that have a cooperative relationship with Wayne Company. After graduation, in the face of a harsh employment environment, Wayne Company also gave priority to accepting the children of these workers with high treatment to return to the enterprise to contribute to the construction of the enterprise.

Because of the loyalty they have been exposed to since childhood, most of these workers' children also choose to enter Wayne Company first. For this group of workers, they have become one with the rise and fall of the Xinglin family on the riverside. I feel that I am a member of the Earl's family, and I am the Earl's family.

This is actually a group of very lovely people, and it is also the real core of Wayne Company, it is precisely because of this group of people that Wayne Company has always maintained its reputation as the leader of the Empire's light armor supply in a market with scarce resources, fierce competition, and even rapid changes in the form and pattern.

And now, under the threat of air bandits, Count Lin Wei personally led a team to the industrial area to reinforce the guards here, which is undoubtedly inspiring. In the eyes of the workers, others could only see the Earl's status as the Speaker of the upper class of the Riverside Star, high and high. However, it was only at the real critical moment that the Count's demeanor as the head of the house was revealed, and it was the tree they could rely on in times of crisis.

This group of simple workers didn't care about the family infighting that happened in the upper class of the riverside star, and only recognized Earl Lin Wei as the biggest lord on the top of the Lin family and Wayne Enterprise. Under the love house and Wu, Lin Wei is a layer of worship with a goddess aura.

In the industrial base of New South Star, Lin Wei's smart, decisive and strong style in the Wayne Group has long been familiar. It was almost never published as a biography. She angrily punished senior executives who had fallen into bad debts... She discovered the loopholes in the branch and set off a personnel earthquake by thunderous means... She suppressed opponents on the company's high-level issues, made a strong statement, etc., and among the workers of New South Star, she has gradually given birth to an invisible prestige.

In the past few days since Lin Wei arrived in the industrial zone, the industrial zone has been in a state of excitement, and many workers' children, those young people who operate the mechanical arm and the smelter, have been watching in groups one by one, watching her smile when she is accompanied by the supervisor... It's dazzlingly beautiful!

Previously, they could only see her in photos and video clips of attending company events. Such a real person has now come to them from the distant riverside star, and that happiness has kept many people awake at night. Real people are much more beautiful than in photos and videos!

And the most dazzling thing is the temperament she showed after coming to the industrial area.

She made constructive comments to the research room, she handled the report from the factory in a shallow manner, and tried to point out some of the deficiencies and improvements she saw in a soft and logical way, she was in the steaming factory area, despite the sweat of the close-fitting shirt and her beautiful and full body, she still tried to argue with the technical supervisor to correct the inertia of the other party's insistence on not accepting new ideas, sweat slid down her sideburns, after the stubborn technical director was finally convinced by her eloquence, There was a slightly childish relief on her cheeks.

is obviously young, and beautiful and pure, but sometimes it can put pressure on people, sometimes it feels like she is invincible, sometimes it makes people have an affinity to see her and rejoice in their hearts, but sometimes there is a faint majesty under her beautiful appearance.

This famous eldest lady of the Riverside Xinglin family is said to have made many talented people with backgrounds in Riverside Star fall in love with each other, and when they really saw it, they really lived up to their reputation.

And it is also known that at the recent family meeting, it was decided that she would eventually marry the Earl's mysterious illegitimate son.

This made many people feel a little sorry for her Miaoman's life.

wants to be such an excellent girl, but she has to end up marrying someone she doesn't like... It's like a very pleasing picture scroll, stained with a stain. It's like dark clouds sweeping across the clear sky, which is regrettable.

When the Creator opens a door for you, He closes a window for you. No matter how beautiful a girl is, while giving her wisdom and ability, she should also tie a shackle on her weak body.

And today, in the eyes of many people in the industrial area, there are many beautiful and weak and independent and tenacious image fragments of this girl, in the research room to look at a batch of product test data, a earl's clerical messenger walked into the research room.

"Miss Lin Wei! The Earl asked you to come to his office..."

"What's the matter?" She tilted her chin slightly.

The clerk hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "... It is said that at the time of the Seagull plane crash, Young Master Lin Hai was coming to our industrial base on that passenger ship... But now ..."

Everyone's eyes turned around at this moment, and they all saw Lin Wei slightly stunned for a moment under the words of the clerk's informing, and then gestured to the messenger, "You wait...

Then she turned around and methodically gave a series of instructions to everyone in the research room, and asked for the data to be delivered to her as soon as it was released, before she put down the tablet in her hand and went to the Count's office with the messenger.

Life and death are uncertain!

This is the cold report that Lin Wei received in the earl's room.

The expression on Earl Lin Wei's face could not be said to be angry at Lin Hai's disrespectful instructions to come privately, or worried about his uncertain disappearance, in short, it was densely packed.

He looked at Lin Wei's expression that didn't seem to change much except for surprise, and finally sighed and said, "I will keep in close contact with the military, so that they can notify us as soon as possible if they have any latest news!" If he does have an accident..."

Lin Wei's long eyelashes trembled slightly at this moment.

The Earl was about to speak again and again, but finally waved his hand a little tiredly, "... You've been tired lately too, so take a break. Don't let anything happen in an eventful time! "

Lin Wei left the earl's office, and the earl's clerk who sent her out was still slightly hesitant, "Miss Lin Wei... You and Lord Earl, don't worry too much..."

Lin Wei nodded, interrupting his unnecessary relief, turned around and walked to the corridor, back to the research room. No one could tell anything unusual from her expression, and she continued to work until all the data had been checked, then changed her white uniform into civilian clothes and returned to her room, where she greeted an oncoming worker.

Closing the door, Lin Wei's long body suddenly stiffened slightly, her hand clenched her fists lightly, took a deep breath, and then walked straight to the room and pressed a communicator.

After a while, the metal door slid open silently, and a man with a somewhat handsome face appeared at the door, "Miss, are you looking for me?" "

It was Lin Wei's first secretary Claire, who knew this man, and knew that among Lin Wei's elite subordinates, this person was her most powerful and trusted assistant, and he was also one of the most important senior executives within Wayne's company.

"Claire, I want you to go out immediately now, to the airport of the New South Star Military Region, you must already know about the wreck of the passenger ship, I want you to be stationed over there and get any news about Lin Hai as soon as possible!"

Claire was clearly stunned for a moment, the joy that originally appeared in Lin Weiqing's handsome eyes, but after hearing her command next, the joy in her expression gradually faded, "This... The Earl has already informed the military district airport, and they should inform ... in due course."

"At this juncture, where can they take care of this requirement of our industrial zone, only by going to the scene in person, can they know the first-hand information!" Lin Wei stared out the window into the distance, without focus, but her starry eyes were clearly trembling because of the spotlight, "You immediately go to the airport, and let the base vacate an emergency transport ship, once you know his movements, immediately start the rescue!" "

"However, the logistics of the base are already tight, and a transport ship will be used at this time...

"Tell the logistics department that's what I mean!"

Claire was slightly stunned.

Lin Wei suddenly looked at him with cold eyes, like a female beast who chose people to devour, and reprimanded angrily, "Don't go quickly!" "

"Yes! I see! "

Claire, who had never been scolded by her so much, left in a panic, but at the moment when she turned sideways and walked towards the corridor, she glanced at Lin Wei's long figure with red hair standing in the room, and her mind suddenly flashed over the appearance that she should have hated Lin Hai... The bitterness and entanglement in my heart are like overturning the spice jar, and the flavors are mixed.

 

In the back seat of the van, Warren, Jimmy, and photographer Lu Ming staggered, Lin Hai drove through those ruins and stone forest landscapes, suddenly galloping, suddenly turning, suddenly surrounding, suddenly slowing down, suddenly burning tires and running wildly, the three of them were about to be tortured crazy, but they also had to admit that there seemed to be no road, after Lin Hai went around twice, he actually found a way out from which stone piles and cliffs, not to mention that the pursuers behind were still dozens of kilometers away, that is, they followed their car closely, I'm afraid they'll all be thrown off.

So much so that after a series of detours, they could already see the lights of Congo Town in the distance. On a night like this, the plane crash fell into the planetary graveyard and broke out of the ruins to see the dawn of civilization, one can imagine how exciting it must be, although it is most likely just a humble town formed by an industrial area, or perhaps this is not even a small town...

Everyone recalled that they hadn't heard Xia Ying's movements for a long time, and looked at Xia Ying, who was in the co-pilot seat at this time... Actually leaning on the headrest, the black hair hung down on his cheeks and chest, and he fell asleep soundly.

Being able to fall asleep in such a situation, Warren and others are of course extremely immense. Of course, thinking of the changes along the way, the fright that this girl has received, and the strength in the disaster, is also difficult for her.

Looking at her pretty face falling asleep in the bumps, Warren and the others felt a little pity. And born the determination to escort this imperial idol back well. If she suffers any damage, how will they explain it to the people of the empire who love her... What's more, I can't explain to the big people behind her.

Warren, who knows some of Xia Ying's family background, is a little bitter, and I don't know how many people in this world are eager for this opportunity, and they are treated and grateful at the level behind them for taking care of and protecting Xia Ying. Even he, a famous producer, was all moved, but to be honest, from beginning to end, it was really the young man who drove the car who really rescued them and persevered all the way here, and he had nothing to do with Warren and Jimmy.

Although they are all big men, compared to Lin Hai who is driving, they feel like they are disabled. This guy can not only compete with Major Li Yifeng on the starship, but also accurately lead them to find a way to escape when the passenger ship is wrecked, and can repair the truck, get rid of the existence of suspected air thieves behind him, and find the town under such a harsh surface... What is the origin of such a guy, is he really just an ordinary little mechanic?

Although there is a gap between him and Lin Hai, Warren is not a narrow-minded person, but after such an analysis, he feels more and more that this young man is unpredictable, so his previous rash and arrogant behavior is really a bit excessive.

In a desperate situation, it may be easier for people to self-reflect and self-perceive.

And people have to reach a certain age to understand that what is truly reliable is not chattering eloquence, not swearing, but just like now, similar to the strong back of the young man in front of him, who is using his own efforts to let them escape from danger and win the hope of being rescued and surviving.

Warren used to look at everything with a worldly eye, how to look at it and how to think this mechanic was vulgar. Now I feel that the young man with a hard back in front of me and the sweet and sleeping face of the imperial idol girl next to him seem to be quite compatible.

  ...

"Our five Umoni off-road vehicles, fifteen mechs are chasing so wildly, and we haven't even caught the other party's shadow yet. What the is going on? On the buggy, Reddier was furious.

Shattrath took the map, sketched the trajectory of Lin Hai in the area, pondered for a moment, and said, "Looking at these chaotic travel lines, the other party doesn't seem to be lost, but it is very likely that they have discovered our tracking, so they deliberately took the steep and insurmountable terrain to get rid of us!" "

"This is the only explanation at the moment, our hidden probe has been spotted by them. But now the biggest problem is that Raphael and Tavasi have landed on the New South Star, and the landing site is near the cemetery, and now the patrol ships of the military region airport are facing a big enemy, and they don't dare to get too close to the empire-controlled area, according to the return of the 'eyeline', Raphael and Tavasi have invested a total of more than 150 mecha to search the cemetery, which is almost their main force! Who was on that shuttle? Even they are so aggressive! "

Shattrath was silent for a moment, as if trying to make out the cacophony of the on-board radar, and then changed color, "Not good! Our array probe has been spotted by Rafael Tavasi's side, oops! In the past, they only dealt with the looted cargo ships towards this cemetery, and they didn't carefully inspect the area at all, so they couldn't find our detectors, but now the two of them have joined forces and poured out, and it is not surprising that they will find our probe array with their technical strength, if it is reversely cracked, and this net is used by them in turn, we will become prey in an instant! "

Shattrath looked back at the fifteen Marshall mechs that followed behind the convoy, the other party had one hundred and fifty, and they only had fifteen, this gap was not an order of magnitude at all.

"How long before we're reverse-cracked?" Reddirle also solemnized.

"Five minutes is already the most optimistic situation!" Shattrath smiled wryly. Anyone shuddered at the thought of the cruelty with which people like Raphael and Tawasi treated their enemies. What's more, their Reddier Air Thieves gang has always been against them. Imagine that if it falls into the hands of the other party, they are afraid that it will be a luxury to want to die.

Reddier, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was the first to calm down, "They are still more than 300 kilometers away from us, and the transport ship has already withdrawn to outer space, so they will find us, and then catch up, at least a few hours away, in this time... All we need to do is get out of the range of the probe and into a densely populated area... It can be said that it is invisible..."

Speaking of this, Reddier suddenly had an epiphany, "Give me the drawings, hurry up!" "

Holding the electronic map handed over by Shatrath, looking at the strange movement trajectory of Lin Hai and the others' trucks above, Reddirle slapped the cockpit suddenly, "This damn and cunning mouse!" "

Reddier took control of the steering wheel with one hand, and drew a straight line with the other hand at the highlight of the truck representing Linhai on the map, "That's how we want to get rid of Raphael and them, this mouse on the map, why don't you want to get rid of us like this!" He deliberately used the steep mountain road as a cover to get rid of us, and for a while we couldn't see his true purpose... But in fact, their real goal is to reach this town! Congo Town! Once we arrived in Congo Town, crossed the terrain covered by our array detectors, and entered the town, we could no longer locate them! "

Shattrath was stunned for a moment, and had a strange feeling, as the military advisor of the Reddier Air Thieves Group, it was not impossible for him to think of this, he just didn't believe that the person they were chasing was in a plane crash and was still in shock, but he could quickly discover the danger hidden in the metal ruins, and accurately know the existence of the probe radar, so as to infer that there was a group of unscrupulous people nearby.

Most people guess that there will always be a process of hesitation or self-questioning in all this, because it is very likely that all this is just unfounded.

What's more, surviving a plane crash, human beings generally have the psychology of rejoicing and slacking. I feel that it is good to survive and wait for rescue, but the other party does not have the slightest slack that humans should have, but can immediately and accurately predict the crisis and respond quickly... This ability, although the other party is still in the role of the prey, but also makes Shatrath, a self-effacing and resourceful person, feel a little chills down his spine, he feels like a cunning wolf, but this time, it is likely to be a more cunning and ferocious cheetah.

"Fuck! This damn kitten running around! Reddill scolded, turned around and connected to the on-board communication, "Jason, you take four mechas, immediately follow a straight line distance, cross the mountains and highways to Congo Town, and intercept and capture the other party's vehicles before they arrive in Congo Town!" "

"Others, follow me! Let's let the pursuers in the rear can't find the north! Reddirle snorted and marked the path Lin Hai had taken. They are the elite of the gang of air thieves, and they are the family background of any strong man who breaks his wrist and will make his heart ache. If only mechs were available, of course it would be best to run at full speed to Congo Town now. However, in addition to the mecha now, there are more than twenty people in five off-road vehicles. The traffic capacity and speed of the off-road vehicle, of course, are not comparable to the mecha. And the mecha can't carry additional personnel into the cruising state and run at high speed.

So they need to confuse the two forces of Raphael and Tawasi in the rear to retreat safely.

Reddir was convinced that the path taken by Lin Hai would not be able to catch up with them, so following his path would also cause Raphael and Tawasi to get lost, enough to delay their journey. After turning the other party into a daze, he followed Lin Hai's path, plunged into Congo Town, entered the huge imperial industrial area and hid in depth, and kept Raphael's group of people throwing rat traps, their one hundred and fifty mighty mechas, if they really dared to march towards the industrial area, I was afraid that at this time, they had just encountered a frigate air crash, and the Seagull passenger ship had a forced landing accident, and the New South Star Patrol Military Region would immediately mobilize warships and all forces to annihilate them!

"Understood!" The five mechas, which had been following the convoy, suddenly left the team and climbed towards the hillside next to the mountain road, because they didn't know the true purpose of Lin Hai and the others, so they had been chasing after them, but now Redier has analyzed that their target is Congo Town, so for the all-terrain mecha that adapts to weapons, there is no terrain on land that can block the passage of this weapon.

The five mecha jumped between the mountains and rocks like ghosts, and quickly crossed the mountains, like five beasts running wildly in the forest, crossing mountains and mountains, wading through water, crossing gorges and valleys, and rushing to Congo Town at high speed in a straight sprint!

 

Approaching the town, Xia Ying in the car had already woken up, as if she had just had a good long sleep, waking up lazily. After being dazzled by the lights, Xia Ying came back to her senses, and immediately thought that they were still on the way to escape, and when she saw the light, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "It's time to Congo Town!?" "

Looking back, the expressions of Warren, Jimmy, and Lu Ming were obviously not optimistic. Even Lin Hai's gaze flickered a little.

Xia Ying looked at it fixedly. At this time, the town of Congo was displayed in front of them in the form of a cluster of bright yellow lights. It's like there's some kind of gathering going on, and there are a lot of people in the town, but it's not the usual popularity. The road into the town had been blocked, and there were men in some worker-like uniforms, cigarettes in their mouths, but the uniforms simply collapsed around their waists, revealing dirty shoulders, and some even had chains on their bodies and were armed with firearms. Facing the truck driving towards the town, a middle-aged man wearing a uniform and big scalp shoes, with some ruffians, stepped on the ground and stretched out a stop gesture towards the truck!

Looking at this battle, Warren, Jimmy and the others in the truck all tightened their vests, because in any way, this group of people did not look like regular soldiers, and even the security forces of the industrial area could not be so messy.

But it was difficult to ride the tiger, and the truck had already driven to the front of the blockade station, and the man who had just made a stop gesture came to the door and shouted, "Ahead is the Cohen Workers' Party meeting place, and all traffic is prohibited!" Then the triangular eyes glanced at the carriage again, "Also, what are your origins, get off the train and check!" The tone is quite arrogant and domineering.

"Cohen Workers' Party!?" Warren almost gasped. If there is any underworld in the New South Star Industrial Zone, this "Cohen Workers' Party" is the biggest gang among them. He is a news producer, and he has also reported on some social phenomena, and he is no stranger to the Cohen Workers' Party of the new South Star.

Originally, this workers' party was actually workers in the nearby industrial area, but in the past two decades, the empire's economy has been sluggish, and some companies have been stretched thin and even bankrupt, and these workers in the New South Star Industrial Zone have naturally become a group of lonely ghosts. The economic downturn, the decline and withering of industrial areas, and the mass unemployment of workers have naturally led to all kinds of serious problems of instability.

This Cohen Workers' Party was originally founded by a person named Cohen, and it was also very ambitious and ideal at the beginning of its establishment, that is, it hoped to protect the welfare of workers in the bankruptcy area of New South Star through a series of activities such as strikes, marches, and representations, and strive for the rights and interests of the empire.

However, where can those bigwigs who are far away in the capital star manage a group of sloppy workers in the border area of New South Star?

As a result, under the increasingly chaotic regional situation, the Cohen Workers' Party gradually degenerated, and they formed a tight-knit gang organization, under the slogan of working for the welfare of the workers, began to squeeze the workers in the industrial areas, oppressed the townspeople in the vicinity, and maintained the growth of this party by collecting "workers' party activity fees" from the nearby industrial areas.

The Cohen Workers' Party has a bad track record that is not "far and wide", collecting protection money, forcing women into prostitution, violently ruling the surrounding towns, and even in recent years, it has developed its influence in some healthy industrial zones in New South Star, recruiting newcomers into the party, and some weak but good development momentum industrial areas have even been controlled by the Workers' Party and have become more and more decadent and declining, but the name of the Workers' Party has become bigger and bigger, and its power has also grown.

It can be said that the current Cohen Workers' Party is like a vampire, entrenched in the industrial area, relying on absorbing nutrients from the surrounding industrial areas to survive.

Moreover, because of the nature of the establishment of the workers' party, and even the protection of the workers in the empire, even if the military district of New South Star knew the evil deeds of the Cohen Workers' Party and knew that it was a gangster organization, it still could not crack down, otherwise there were some public opinions in the imperial society that were not clear at all, and they would naturally run to the Congress in the name of sympathizing with the weak and protecting the workers, and shout to the Congress to protect this Cohen Workers' Party!

In response to that statement, it is often not the evil itself that is sinful, but those who listen to the corner or, for some purpose, justify the evil and condone it.

In the soundproofed car, Warren concisely and quickly whispered about the origin of the Cohen Workers' Party, Xia Ying, Jimmy, and Lu Ming, all of whom changed color at the same time.

The commanding middle-aged man outside was still tilting his head to look at the five people in the car by the light, and when his eyes fell on Xia Ying, his eyes immediately lit up! He had been annoyed that none of the prostitutes in the town were good-looking, but he was ... Oh, my God! In such a poor place that doesn't shit, can you still see such a smart girl? Isn't this the pie that the Creator has given him when he's lonely?

The heat in his eyes suddenly rose. At first glance, under his scolding, none of the five people in the car got out of the car, but it was not?

Immediately kicked the car door, snatched the submachine gun from the hand of a person next to him, pointed it at the car window, and spitted, "Fuck, when you Uncle Bode's words are the wind in your ears, don't you get out of the car to check, look for death!?" "

Warren had an idea, rolled down the window, and handed over his business card with some trembling, and at the same time held a hundred imperial pound bills in his hand, "This brother, calm your anger, we have been invited to do an interview for the Workers' Party!" Please make it easier! "

In order to match Warren's words, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then raised the camera that was so bumpy in his hand that he didn't know if he could use it again, and then tried to squeeze out a smile that was not crying.

Bode took the business card, and when he saw the name of the producer on it, he was really a little stunned, he originally thought that this was a passing truck, so it completely looted the truck, and there was no problem in disposing of the people in the car at will, when will the location of the Workers' Party rally not be missing some people nearby?

But it turned out to be a journalist... And it was as if he had been invited by the leader of their Workers' Party. This can't let him deal with it so casually, the Cohen Workers' Party doesn't pay attention to anyone, but if these are invited reporters, it will be different, you know, the Workers' Party also has to rely on some media hype in the empire to fight for a large umbrella in a way that is more worthy of sympathy and more tearful.

The point is that in some "accusations" that the Workers' Party is a gangster, these people will spontaneously stand up and accuse those shameless politicians of discrediting a poor just organization that asks for the lives of the workers for their achievements! What could be more effective than this umbrella?

Maybe in the future, the Cohen Workers' Party will be able to rely on this to enter the imperial elections and participate in the legislative party!

Of course, for some reporters who dare to come to interview the so-called "real situation", often these reporters are found in the wilderness with their bodies in a different place... The woman was raped first and then killed – for which the Workers' Party organization would accuse the local mob of doing it!

Bode's greedy gaze looked at Xia Ying's body from above and down a few times, and Xia Ying straightened up and looked ahead, as if he didn't see his gaze.

Bode took his business card and glanced at the carriage with a flicker, "What's in there?" "

Warren didn't speak this time, but looked at Lin Hai with a few people in the car, he didn't dare to talk rashly, if what he said didn't match what the other party checked, wouldn't they be shot immediately?

Seeing Warren and the others looking at Lin Hai, Bode's gaze naturally turned to Lin Hai.

"This car is a news car, and inside it is the equipment room for processing news." Lin Hai responded.

Bode nodded, in fact, this question is completely meaningless, and he doesn't plan to really search the car, when something doesn't belong to you, you will have the desire to snoop, but if it's something in your pocket, then what's the difference between knowing it later and knowing it earlier?

"Dear Mr. Journalist, Ladies... In fact, there is something that needs to be covered by the activities of the Workers' Party today... I hope you will fight for our rights and interests and stand on our side... Then, please follow me! Bode jumped into a jeep in front of him and opened the road in front of him, the barricade rising as he turned to the microphone and said, "There's a group of journalist friends coming... Ziz ... Okay, I'll lead them to the tavern! "

Because of stellar activity, long-distance communication is not possible because of serious interference, but it is still possible to use radio communication within a radius of 100 kilometers.

The truck followed Bodø's jeep, and there was a barricade rising in front of it, and it entered the town, and the whole town was full of Workers' Party members, who were either gathering together to drink on the side of the road, or a few people beating up one person around, or staring gloomily at the truck that came in with the jeep, and those eyes that looked in all directions made people feel like a pack of wolves watching the lambs that had entered the wolf pen and could not eat for the time being.

Bodø in the jeep was still holding a megaphone and shouting, "Guy in front, get out of here!" Our esteemed journalist has come from afar and wants our Workers' Party to lose face? Don't hurry up to greet our journalist friends! "

Under the opening of the jeep, the road that was originally full of people began to crack, but even in the bustle of this crowd, Xia Ying, Warren and others in the car could still see that on the side of some houses, there were workers from the Workers' Party moving out of the same thing, and the owners of the houses obviously dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, crying and mourning on the side.

"There must be something hateful about the poor people, and when some people have been oppressed and oppressed for a long time, there can be some people who have been oppressed by them, and they will certainly become even more oppressed, and put their own oppression on others... It's often darker, more ruthless..." Seeing Xia Ying beside him clenching his fists angrily, Lin Hai said quietly.

Warren sighed, "The 'tavern' that Bode spoke of just now is the heart of their meeting... It is also the place where new regulations and new policies of the Workers' Party are formulated every time... I will act on the opportunity in a moment... We have to pretend that we are the reporters who come to cover the interview... Do you understand! "

Everyone nodded, knowing that in the current situation, they had truly broken into the wolf's den. But what the hell is going on, is this new South Star the gate of hell? As soon as I came here, I was attacked by an air thief destroyer, and then I finally escaped death, and was pursued by the forces suspected of being air thieves, and then I looked at a small town, and I was about to escape, this is a gangster meeting place. Jimmy feels that he is fortunate to be able to return to civilized society, and he must write a biography, called "Jimmy's Escape from a Foreign Land", which will definitely have a better future than him as a host.

"Then again," Warren whispered again, "what the hell are you in the back of this truck?" You get to the bottom first! "

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Ying's face with considerable interest, and then said slowly, "This is a secret ..."

Everyone collectively had the urge to kick him in the face.
