Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

The White Dove, an underground secret room.

"So this is the thought process of your White Raven City lineage? Hoarding good things, taking up space, and not letting anyone use them?"

He Feng waved his hand and swatted away the dense spider web in front of him, finally finding a way out of the dark passage.

"The former city lord did this to avoid fratricide."

Lin Qingqing followed beside her, holding an oil lamp in her hand, casting light into the pitch-black darkness.

"Look, we've arrived." Lin Qingqing knocked proudly on the rusty hatch in front of her.

Lin Qingqing forcefully pricked her fingertip, leaving a bloodstain that dripped onto a sensor emitting a faint blue light.

The hatch clicked open.

The murky air, carrying a strong metallic smell, rushed towards the two of them.

Inside, most of the equipment was piled up with machines wrapped in plastic.

Lift the covering layer, and you'll find a completely different world underneath.

A first-stage light machining tool with dry-burn marks, equipped with a file and a relatively simple cutting device.

It can be used to mass-produce the rifling and plasticity of some high-precision firearms, and its quality is far superior to that of the equipment made by the pure craftsmanship of the Azure.

After all, their current old-fashioned hand-operated machine tools are so numerous that they could practically open a Mixue Ice Cream shop in the cracks.

There were also some mechanical devices embedded with light tubes, with a series of motor units operating inside. He could vaguely hear the internal circuitry whistling, which gave He Feng, who was born in the modern world, a sense of familiarity.

The thick power cord behind was coiled up by the Touran and hung on the rotary rod on the machine, like an old snake sitting there in its twilight years.

After sorting through everything, I finally found these things.

Several of them were completely decayed internally, so badly damaged that they were no longer worth a look.

Although they are old items, they are still beyond the reach of the Azure. Even if they are dismantled, they will be of great benefit to the current development of the Azure industry.

Their true productivity cannot be demonstrated at this time.

He Feng paused for a moment, then began to observe the old, worn-out machines with a hint of interest.

Peel back the metal shell, which is almost crumbling into slag, and observe the completely chaotic internal structure.

The internal circuitry is in good condition and doesn't show any signs of being completely rotten; it can still be used after washing.

If we could extract the internal control circuitry, we could put it into the tool machine that comes with the fortress and reuse it.

Wouldn't that allow him to obtain Tier 2 resources earlier, whether it be circuit components or other lightly crafted Tier 2 fortresses, so that this wouldn't become a hindrance to him?

After thinking it over, He Feng came up with a new plan.

He glanced at Lin Qingqing and pointed to the electrical equipment piled up there.

"I'm taking all of these things with my Azure."

Lin Qingqing was not surprised at all, and nodded quite calmly, while continuously recording the information of all the devices in front of her.

"The Azure and the White Dove are now allies, so there is no direct relationship of oppression between them. But what I demand is that the Azure also provide the White Dove with some benefits."

She rubbed her forehead and said softly, "No one wants a lord who's always thinking about how to exploit his own people. If I don't give them some treats, it won't be easy for me to be a lord."

He Feng smiled slightly, "Of course, the transfer of benefits between allies is equal, I am well aware of that."

After saying that, he snatched the paper and pen and wrote a long, flowing piece of paper on it.

"Here you go." He Feng tore off a page and handed it to Lin Qingqing.

She carefully examined the text. The handwriting was terrible, but she could still vaguely make out words related to resources such as "steel, fuel, and polyethylene."

At the very end, there was a horizontal line drawn, and the word "responsible person" was written in front of it.

Lin Qingqing felt a little relieved; these resources were more than enough to deal with the current situation of the White Dove.

She didn't even spend much time understanding the preceding content, signing it almost with her eyes closed.

He deftly wrote his name on it.

"OK, then the contract is effective." He Feng snatched the document, folded it neatly, and stuffed it into the pocket of his trench coat.

"Let me see, oh, 20 years of unpaid service to the anti-White Raven City alliance, the White Dove must personally buy time for the Azure to escape when necessary, the White Dove must be deprived of any right to communicate with external forces, all actions must be informed of ally He Feng in advance, and... I won't read the rest."

He Feng read it aloud with an air of seriousness, his cunning barely concealed.

"You...you!" Lin Qingqing glared angrily at He Feng, her eyes wide with fury.

"Since we've signed it, we have to abide by the contract." He Feng took out the document and waved it like a fan, quite pleased with himself.

Lin Qingqing's smug expression inexplicably annoyed her, making her want to give his thick-skinned face a good whack.

Of course, as long as I can beat him, that's fine.

The die is cast, and even such an extremely unequal treaty has to be accepted.

Lin Qingqing's face darkened as she silently tasted the bitter fruit of her own actions.

"He's an ally, and you can't get angry no matter how badly an ally does things. I owe him... I owe him," the girl hypnotized herself.

When he speaks, his teeth are clenched so tightly that you can almost hear the grinding sound of his teeth.

Reaching the hatch, He Feng pointed to the lock that seemed to have completed its mission, stroking his chin with a dreamy look in his eyes.

"You probably don't need this anymore, how about I keep it as a souvenir?"

Lin Qingqing looked at He Feng with a helpless expression and nodded weakly.

The two emerged from the deep, secret chamber. He Feng waved his hand and then persuaded several crew members to move out all the remaining equipment inside.

In an instant, people came and went, each with a tense expression, doing the work of ants moving house on the swaying iron bridge.

He Feng had not forgotten his previous agreement with Lin Qingqing, and brought most of the resources he had stockpiled on the fortress as well.

The quality of the goods is naturally not a problem. Every item has been thoroughly inspected by the refugees, ensuring top-quality products.

Two streams of people formed on the bridge, creating a wonderful balance.

He Feng looked at the scene before him with great joy, feeling a sense of harvest.

Suddenly, a noisy whisper filled his mind.

He Feng immediately tensed up, because this meant that the Azure was about to face some kind of crisis again.

The message did not arrive as expected; indistinguishable fragments of information kept circulating in his mind, making it impossible for him to make sense of them.

Such clear whispers seemed more like inexplicable murmurs.

It seemed to stir a surge of impulse within him, an impulse that transformed into a driving force, subtly intoxicating him.

It's like plunging into icy, bone-chilling seawater, yet your body feels an extremely pleasant sense of comfort.

[Go...to...the...sea...]

The eerie voice guided him; it was a gentle command, like a mother calling on her child to pay attention to Nanyang.

Without a thought, He Feng stepped forward and walked to the edge of the boat, eager to try.

"You don't want to live anymore!"
