We are from the future ark

"In a sense, it's a really 'good' morning." Chen Qi patted his chest. He almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest early in the morning.

"Hong, how did you find this place?"

"The smell of Chen Qi." Hong said lightly, but with a small expression, as if very proud.

Chen Qi was helpless with this reason. Well, Lappland had already told him. For the people of the Luper tribe, as long as they put a "mark" on a person, they can find him no matter how far he ran.

Although the scent would become very weak due to the long distance, for an excellent Luper, Hong and Lappland both pushed the scent recognition to the highest level without exception.

And Hong's arrival, in a sense, means she has completed her mission.

"Hong, have Ethan, Yan Ke, and Big Bob arrived in Rhode Island?"

"We're all here." Hong nodded and said seriously:

"Red has already gone to see Kal'tsit. Kal'tsit and Amiya have returned to Rhodes Island early."

Maybe they need to be properly resettled. After all, they were all members of the Reunion Movement before, and without Rhodes Island's guarantee, it would be difficult for them to enter Longmen.

However, this is also good news. The three of them are outstanding in various fields and can fill the gaps in Rhodes Island's heavy armor, guards and special operators. The strength of the three can be trained as elite operators or elite backups.

Among them, Yan Ke was an old acquaintance of Chen Qi. He was an elite instructor of the Rhodes Island Guard Operators who was promoted by him personally. He and another Guard Operator, Brocka, were loyal and capable men to Chen Qi.

Of course, all of this is based on Chen Qi's strong hard power and command ability. Otherwise, with these two people's personalities, they would not serve an incompetent commander.

Many members of the Reunion Movement stayed in Rhodes Island. Chen Qi still remembered the man named Ethan. Chen Qi had also seen his file. During a mission to infiltrate the Ursus arsenal, he chose to be reduced to ashes along with the arsenal because he could not escape unscathed.

His rearguard action allowed the other seven elite operators who took part in the infiltration mission to be rescued. In Ethan's file bag, there is still the senior operator medal awarded to him by Rhodes Island after this operation.

Chen Qi was looking forward to the performance of Yan Ke and Ethan. He was looking forward to the day when he could personally hand over this senior operator medal to Ethan.

By the way, there was also Big Bob, and Chen Qi was quite familiar with him. This guy originally rented a farm and became his own farmer, but later due to the outbreak of war, his farm was scrapped, and he had to come back to Rhode Island to seek asylum.

Later, Big Bob also became Chen Qi's right-hand man, but he was not so keen on fighting, so Chen Qi later let him be responsible for his own private vegetable garden.

I have to say that Big Bob is really good at taking care of vegetables, otherwise Old Wei wouldn't come to steal vegetables every few days.

In addition, there was one thing about Big Bob that made Chen Qi very satisfied, that is, he never showed mercy when beating Old Wei.

Based on this point alone, Chen Qi felt that it would be right to appoint Big Bob as the caregiver and custodian of his vegetable garden.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't wait to go back to Rhode Island to meet these old friends.

"Hong, let's pack up and get ready to go back."

"Okay." Hong jumped off the bed without saying anything.

"Click." The door opened, and at this moment, a calm female voice came from outside the door.

"Chen Qi, you——"

However, the next moment, Skadi's gaze outside the door met Hong Kai's eyes, and they looked at each other in silence.

Skadi's pupils shrank noticeably, and she almost subconsciously clenched the sword in her hand, but she still restrained herself.

"…It's Hong." Skadi recognized the wolf girl in front of her and subconsciously relaxed.

Fortunately, it was Red. If it was Lappland who came out, Skadi would probably be really furious and would have performed a killer whale tumble out of the bath for her.

However, Hong had never seen Skadi before and looked at her with caution, but fortunately, Chen Qi had put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

"...Skadi?" Chen Qi was slightly stunned, then showed a helpless smile and said:

"You always get up earlier than me. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"A little while." At this time, Skadi, who had been guarding the door all night, replied lightly.

"Before, Chen and Xingxiong came again and I had to fend them off."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Chen Qi's expression faded again, and he finally gave up the idea of ​​meeting Chen.

I don’t know what to say when they meet. Chen Qi will not tell Chen who he is in her future. This is too unbelievable.

At least, before Rhodes Island gathered enough strength, Chen Qi did not intend to make his identity as a future man known to the whole city. Although the old fox Lao Wei should have smelled something, as long as he had no way to verify it, everything would remain just speculation.

Skadi also picked up the big sword beside her again, glanced at the Red Queen beside Chen Qi, and didn't react at all.

...No, she shouldn't have reacted. It's just that when she sees similar situations, she always subconsciously feels uncomfortable.

"Chen Qi, where are we going next?"

"Since we've come all the way to Longmen, we can't go back empty-handed."

Chen Qi, who was wearing a white coat, laughed when he heard this. When it comes to Longmen, he dares to say that there are few people who are more familiar with it than him.

Having been struggling and running around in Longmen since he was a child, Chen Qike knows very well that although Longmen looks extremely prosperous, it is also a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

Naturally, he must gain something from coming to Longmen this time.

"I have to go meet some old friends." Chen Qi said, smiling at Skadi and Hong.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? I'm treating you."

"Just, I wonder if you like fish balls?"

Chapter 77: Winning over and crisis

Chen Qi and his party came here from Longmen City, a not particularly prosperous area. Under Chen Qi's guidance, they moved very quickly.

As a child who grew up in Longmen, Chen Qi was quite familiar with Longmen's internal structure and terrain. Although the Longmen in front of him was a little different from the one in Chen Qi's memory, most of the places were still the same.

Soon, Chen Qi found what he was looking for in a not-so-conspicuous place.

——A movable stall.

Although the stall is not big, there are quite a few things scattered around, including a lot of fresh and lively seafood, and even a few tables and chairs. Obviously, this is a seafood stall that sells seafood and also does freshly slaughtered seafood business.

On the other side of the stall, there was a faint figure with white hair. This was the person Chen Qi wanted to find.

Chen Qi walked forward and was hit by a fishy smell. Skadi and Chen Qi didn't think it was a big deal, but as Rupert's red, he was very sensitive to smell, so this smell was a bit too much for him to bear.

"Chen Qi... so smelly..."

Hong's face was wrinkled beyond recognition. It wasn't that Hong was being hypocritical. She was originally homeless and settled down after being taken in by Kal'tsit. When she was homeless, she sometimes ate insects, not to mention fish.

But fishing in the wilderness and selling seafood here in Longmen are two different things. Hong has never seen a pond so small but with so many fish gathered in it. If there is, it must be a dried-up lake or stagnant water.

"Oh, sorry, but these are all fresh seafood. The seafood from other places has dead fish in it, and the fishy smell is even stronger than mine."

It seemed that Hong's voice attracted attention. At this time, the boss, who had been cutting fish with his head down, finally raised his head.

All I saw was an ordinary man with an unremarkable appearance, white hair, and skin that was a little too white. If there was any characteristic about this man, it was his dead fish eyes with too much white, and a slightly obvious scar on his face.

"Hello." The dead-eyed man wiped his palms and then asked, "Welcome, everyone. I just opened for business. What would you like to order?"

"Fish ball and seaweed soup, three servings." Chen Qi smiled and said to him.

"Okay, please wait." The man nodded and began to make the fish balls that Chen Qi wanted.

However, it would have been better if the man did not take action. The moment he took action, the expressions of Skadi and Hong on the side paused slightly.

All I saw was a fleeting afterimage that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The next moment, a whole fish had just been placed on the chopping board, and the internal organs were quickly scraped out, the bones of the whole fish were removed, and the fish was chopped into meat paste at an astonishing speed.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, without a single thought. This was not just about practice makes perfect, but had reached a higher level.

There is no murderous intent, but every strike of his sword can kill people. This alone is enough to make many assassins envious.

Soon, three servings of fish balls were put into the pot. The man did not react at all after doing all this. He just said to himself, "It will be ready in five or six minutes."

"Boss, your knife is really sharp." Chen Qi smiled faintly and took out a Longmen coin from his pocket and handed it over.

"Nothing, I've been doing the same thing for so many years, I'm used to it."

The man shook his head and did not respond to Chen Qi's praise. Obviously, he had heard such praise many times.

"Boss, I think your knife can be used to make other things besides fish balls."

"So, as you can see, I'm not only making fish balls, I'm also selling seafood." The man replied suddenly, his tone beginning to sound a little impatient.

He seemed to have begun to anticipate what would happen next, and secretly thought that his luck was really bad today as this happened at the very beginning.

"...Hmm? Chen Qi?"

At this moment, a sudden female voice broke the deadlock. Chen Qi and his companions looked over and saw a familiar tall figure with green hair.

"Officer Xingxiong."

"Hey, Jie, why are you selling seafood here?"

Upon hearing this, Xingxiong walked up to the man with dead eyes and greeted him, then walked over dragging his Prajna, which was about the same size as a human.

"...Officer Xingxiong, although I have a business license, I dare not set up a stall in front of the Guard Bureau." The dead-eyed man named Jie replied indifferently. However, now that Xingxiong has arrived, he seems to be relieved a lot.

"I don't want to be surrounded by a group of police officers from the Guard Bureau every day."

"Aren't I here to protect you? What are you afraid of?" Xingxiong waved her hands helplessly when she heard that, but it seemed that she was very familiar with the seafood boss in front of her.

Then, Xingxiong turned his head and looked at Chen Qi, showing a somewhat understanding expression, and smiled:

"I didn't expect that our guests like shopping so much that they all come here?"

"You have a good eye. Jie's cooking skills are unique in Longmen. You must try his fish ball soup and sashimi."

"..."

To be honest, if he didn't know Xingxiong's temper, Chen Qi would really think that Xingxiong was being sarcastic to him after what he said just now.

After all, Chen Qi was here to recruit people. To poach people from Longmen under the eyes of the Longmen Guard Bureau was equivalent to poaching people from the Guard Bureau. After all, a person of Jie's talent must have some fame even in Longmen. Chen Qi didn't believe that he had never been targeted by the Guard Bureau.

"Okay, okay, don't have that expression."

Seeing Chen Qi's subtle gaze, Xing Xiong waved his hand helplessly, and then said to Chen Qi:

"You people from Rhodes Island are really good at judging people. You really know how to poach people."

"But if you want to dig for worms, you've found the wrong person."

Facing Chen Qi's puzzled gaze, Xing Xiong also showed a somewhat helpless expression. He glanced at Ji who was working with his head down, as if it had nothing to do with him, and said helplessly:

"Jie is very talented. His knife skills and speed are both extremely high. He has learned the skills and speed of killing people from killing fish. This talent makes him a natural killer."

"However, I have talked to him several times before, wanting him to join our Guard Bureau, but he refused to be a regular employee, let alone a reserve team member."

"I just want to be a seafood boss." Jie finally couldn't help but speak. While doing the things on his hands, he said to Xingxiong and Chen Qi as if to express his opinion:

"I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to find a decent stall where I can have a decent living and a place to live, and save some extra money so that I can marry a decent wife who can manage the household in the future."

"If possible, I would also like to have a child, but I don't know whether it will be a daughter or a son, but it's good to think about it."

"I want to live like this, so I don't want to do anything like fighting and killing."

Jie said this while taking out three bowls and filling them with three portions of fish balls and seaweed soup.

"Three servings are ready, all three of you, eat and leave. I won't go fighting with you."

As he said this, Jie suddenly laughed meaninglessly, not knowing who he was laughing at. He said calmly:

"Speaking of which, can someone like me be favored by an infected company like Rhodes Island? They really think highly of me. I don't have any other skills except making fish balls."

"However, fighting for the rights of the infected is not something I, a non-infected person, should do. You should find someone else to do it."

After saying this, Ji waved his hand and said no more. He sat down and started cleaning the fish scales.

"You see, that's it." Xingxiong waved her hand when she heard this. She didn't seem surprised that Chen Qi was treated like this.

"I have talent, but I don't have much ambition, so..."

"……nothing."

However, contrary to Xingxiong's expectations, Chen Qi smiled indifferently after hearing what he said. He looked relaxed and contented, yet had a natural confidence that made Xingxiong slightly stunned.

Xingxiong could feel that Chen Qi had not given up, but... why was he so confident?

"Officer Xingxiong, you haven't eaten yet? This time it's my treat."

"Haha, no need, I have my own money." Xingxiong came to his senses and was about to take out his wallet.

And at this moment, from a place hundreds of meters away, there was a sudden and abrupt sound of freezing.

Red, who had been silent, suddenly moved her ears slightly. Rupert's sense of crisis suddenly alerted her at this moment.

"boom--!!"
