We are from the future ark

"Mom, take me downtown."

"——Let's go! Mom will take you with her today to see the style of the former Longmen police chief!"

These scenes echoed in Chen's mind, making her forget the pain, and even the pain in her heart disappeared without a trace.

In my mind, there are bustling streets, figures of one big and one small walking with their heads held high, people walking by and familiar streets.

It was so ordinary, yet it made her feel so happy.

I felt so at ease that I even lost myself in this dream.

"——Old Chen!"

"Powder Intestine Dragon!"

Suddenly, two voices came to his ears. Chen's drooping eyelids suddenly recovered a little and he saw clearly the person in front of him.

In the end... she was unable to see everything in the dream as she wished.

Chapter 124: The Crisis That Knew

"Old Chen? Old Chen?"

"Woo..."

In the haze, Chen vaguely heard a call, which forced her to slowly wake up from the vague memories that she had tried so hard to explore.

The blurry scene in front of my eyes slowly became clear, reflecting a very well-lit environment, and... a familiar head with long green hair in front of me.

"Star...Star Bear?"

"Old Chen, thank God you are okay."

Seeing Chen wake up, Xingxiong, who had put his Prajna aside, breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows, which had been frowned due to nervousness, finally relaxed.

"W-where am I?"

"It's the hospital in Longmen. You just had surgery." Xingxiong was looking at Chen's pale face. When he saw her trying to get up, he quickly stepped forward and supported her so that she could sit up.

"We had just brought the commotion in the city under control and didn't see any other thugs, so we rushed to the slums to support you. But when I arrived, I saw you fainted in a pool of blood."

"The doctor said that you have been overworked recently and your heartbeat is irregular. Coupled with overstimulation and blood loss, you fell into a coma. They gave you anesthesia and your thigh injury has just been sutured."

"Old Chen, what's going on? Why is your Chi Xiao stabbing..."

However, suddenly, Xingxiong stopped talking, and the unfinished words were stuck in his throat and he could not utter another word.

Two long tear marks, like a burst dam, slowly flowed from the eyes of this heroic female police superintendent.

At this moment, this high-profile senior police superintendent, who was admired and respected by all the civilians in the Guard Bureau and even Lungmen, burst into tears.

"Star Bear..."

Chen bit his lower lip, lowered his head with a crying voice, and said with a sob:

"I feel so much pain..."

“It hurts… here…”

Chen slapped her chest, her crying becoming more and more uncontrollable, and her face also showed a surging out of control.

Xingxiong looked at Chen in silence and could only gently hold her in his arms, lending his shoulders and chest to let this old friend, who was heartbroken at the moment, cry for a good time.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

What should she say? How should Xingxiong tell Chen what is the reason behind all this?

Finally, he could only pat Chen on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

"Cry, cry... When you are tired of crying, just have a good sleep."

“…We are all too tired to live.”

Whether it is us or him now, we are all living too tired...

I don’t know how long it will take for us and him to put down these burdens.

We really put all our wishes and prayers on the same person...

The burden is too heavy, sometimes... it really makes people breathless...

……

At this moment, at the location of Rhodes Island on the outer ring of Longmen, the red light in the operating room finally went out after an unknown amount of time.

When the red light went out, several figures outside the operating room slowly stood up. They were Hedley, Inès, and Amiya.

The door of the operating room was slowly opened, and the first person to walk out was Chen Qi, who was wearing a white coat and had just taken off his mask.

"...It's all right now." Chen Qi looked at Hedley and Ines with sharp eyes, nodded calmly and said:

"W's danger has been controlled. Although she may not be able to fight for a while, she will be able to recover her body functions slowly."

"Then we feel relieved." Hedley and Inès breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. The operation took nearly half a day. They were waiting outside and were exhausted from worry.

"...We will arrange your rooms later. During this time, you three should keep a low profile in Rhodes Island and avoid being discovered by the Longmen Guards."

"Don't worry, we understand." Hedley nodded.

In order to enter the slums and lure Chen Qi in, they caused such a large-scale panic in Longmen that it was even witnessed by the Guards. If Longmen gets to the bottom of it, Rhodes Island will definitely be investigated by Longmen.

"The most important thing now is that our relationship with Longmen may have reached a freezing point."

Behind Chen Qi, Kal'tsit slowly walked out of the operating room. Her tone was calm, and she was obviously used to such high-intensity operations.

"We must be ready to leave Longmen at any time, or even be ready to escape."

"Amiya, tell the members of Rhodes Island to stay alert. If anyone from Lungmen comes, keep the highest alert."

"I understand. I'll go inform the doctor right away." Amiya nodded, then looked at Hedley and Inès beside her and said:

"You two, please come with me."

"It's troublesome."

After a while, the three figures disappeared around the corner. Meanwhile, Kal'tsit looked at Chen Qi and asked calmly:

"So, now, what's going on?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the person next to W is..."

“——It’s Tallulah.”

Chen Qi nodded, then slowly sat down on the waiting chair beside the operating room, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone:

"When our time-travel device was just completed, the energy source was inexplicably activated once. It was Aunt Tallulah who activated it and traveled to this era."

"Now, the overall improved combat power of the Reunion Movement, the policy of not attacking civilians, and other things are all due to Aunt Tallulah's handiwork."

"——But now, she has been rescued, and the Tallulah of this time and space no longer has any staff she can refer to."

"This is good news for us." Kal'tsit nodded and replied calmly:

"Without her future self as a reference, Tallulah will be in a panic for a while. I think it will take some time for Tallulah to regain her rhythm."

"The threat from the Reunion Movement can probably be put on hold for a while."

"——However, it may be difficult for us to continue staying in Longmen." Kal'tsit suddenly changed the subject and looked at Chen Qi.

"……sorry."

Seeing this, Chen Qi also bowed his head and admitted his mistake. He knew that the reason why the situation was so awkward was because of his choice.

In order to safely transfer Tallulah and W to Rhodes Island for treatment, he directly caused the senior police inspector of Lungmen to be injured. If Wei Yanwu pursued this matter, the friendly relationship that Rhodes Island and Lungmen had just established would probably be destroyed.

Rhodes Island had just gained a force it could rely on, but now it seemed... it might be displaced again.

"Don't worry, even if we don't do this today, our cooperative relationship with Longmen won't last long."

Seeing Chen Qi's self-blaming expression, Kal'tsit also rarely felt sorry for him, and said calmly:

"After all, Longmen is not of the same kind as us. We are just stopping here temporarily to replenish our resources."

"Now that Rhodes Island's resources have been replenished, we have enough resources to move on to the next location."

"…Where are you going?"

"Victoria," Kelsey replied, "Maybe we can have a place there."

"Besides, there are many people from Victoria on the list you gave the doctor. We can also absorb a lot of fresh blood there."

"...In fact, there is still a part of Rhodes Island's talents who have not joined. I forgot about it before." After a moment of silence, Chen Qi handed a list in his hand to Kal'tsit.

"The above are all people I counted who can be accepted by Longmen. Most of them are from the slums, and some are from the urban area of ​​Longmen. I think their talents are enough to absorb some fresh blood for us."

"I'll ask the doctor to do it." Kal'tsit took the list, memorized a few names on it, and continued:

"So, about Tallulah's matter..."

"Dr. Kelsey!"

While Kal'tsit was speaking, a sudden sound drew the attention of the two.

"It's bad, Doctor Kal'tsit." A Rhodes Island operator ran over in a hurry and said to Kal'tsit and Chen Qi:

"We found a convoy outside our Rhode Island, and many men in black got off."

"The leader is a big rat in a white robe! He's furious!"

"Dr. Kal'tsit! The people from Longmen are here!"

Chapter 125: Rat King's Accountability and Farce

At this moment, the outer circle of Rhodes Island's ships, as reported before, has been surrounded by a convoy of stretched luxury black cars.

Next to these cars, there were circles of men in black clothes. They wore sunglasses, black gifts and top hats, which perfectly matched everyone's impression of the "mafia".

And at the front of this group of people, right in front of the main gate of Rhodes Island, there was a somewhat different figure.

The expensive white robe seemed to be meant to stand out in the crowd, or to show off his different identity. The man was not very tall, and he was holding a cane. He had a rat-like face, white beard and eyebrows, which showed that he was very old.

However, the restrained aura and natural sense of majesty emanating from this old man warned everyone that he was by no means a good person.

And judging from the commotion, it was obvious that the other party had no good intentions.

In front of the old man, several members of Rhodes Island had already arrived, and there were also a group of people from Penguin Logistics who had just moved to Rhodes Island some time ago for exchanges and cooperation.

"…Rat King."

Texas, who was standing in front, remained alert after seeing the newcomer and said:

"Mr. Rat King, I heard that you always keep a low profile. Why are you making such a big fuss this time?"

"…I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be a few idiots working under that old penguin."

However, the old man, whom Texas called the Rat King, spoke in the tone of an elder and superior, and said to Texas and his friends, "Why did you come to Rhode Island instead of working for your boss at Penguin Logistics?"

"I came to Rhodes Island for exchange and study on behalf of my boss." Texas answered fluently. She did not dare to be presumptuous towards a being like the Rat King.

"Mr. Rat King hasn't answered my question yet, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Humph, I don't need to explain the reasons for what I did to the old penguin's men."

However, this time, contrary to Texas's expectations, the Rat King did not seem to be as easy to get along with as usual. His momentum was quite fierce this time, and there was a hint of anger on his beastly face.

There is no doubt that he came here with hostile intentions.

"I'm not looking for the people under the Penguin. I'm looking for the highest commander of your Rhodes Island." The Rat King looked at Huang and ACE, the operators led by Rhodes Island, and said coldly:

"Don't push your little rabbit out to fool me. I want to see if my words are useful."

"Damn it--" Huang also had a bad temper. The Rat King's look of accusing her of an offence made her very angry and nervous at the same time. She could feel that the old man in front of her was definitely not weaker than her.

She didn't dare to act rashly, not to mention, these men in black - who knows how powerful they are, and Huang and the others didn't dare to break this confrontation without authorization.

Moreover, the other party obviously knew a lot about their affairs in Rhodes Island. And they had no idea how the other party's intelligence personnel infiltrated from the beginning to the end. This was simply a provocation and insult to their Rhodes Island.

However, just when Huang and the others were secretly worried, a voice slowly came from behind them.

"Mr. Rat King, you have come all the way from Longmen. I heard that you have something to talk to us about?"

"Dr. Kal'tsit?" Huang and his group were obviously relieved when they saw Kal'tsit and Chen Qi coming. The two most reliable people finally came.
