Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

"Uh, I have to deliver some goods to the boss Fengti in the north of the city." A red-haired Sakta said that his brain had been burned dry, and he could only answer stumblingly, "By the way, Kong will also come later, do you want to take her with you?"

"Take it with you. After all, you are a member of Penguin Logistics. It is necessary for you to take it with you to experience our work process."

Huang elbowed Linley in the chest and said, “Drejie, who is that Kong?”

“He’s an idol who’s a little famous in Longmen, but I don’t really listen to songs of this style.” Well, no matter how many times he traveled through time, he didn’t really listen to them. In comparison, Lin Lei preferred the rap songs led by the Great Emperor.

It was probably because of the second dimension that among the outstanding rappers in Colombia, Lin Lei could not find a single Nico, and even those with darker skin were few. "What a pity!" This was Lin Lei's feeling when he first met the Emperor. Even now, the Emperor still did not understand why rap had to have 'Nicho', and just thought it was some bullshit said by someone.

"The main reason is that I didn't see her when you invited me to dinner last night, so I was a little curious."

“That’s because Kong’s main job is still an idol. Do you know what idols are?” Linley looked at Huang, who was bewildered, with disdain. “Their private lives need to be kept secret. I guess he didn’t show up last night because his agency wouldn’t let him.”

"It's like this. If that kid hadn't strongly requested to join us, I'm afraid the agency wouldn't have bothered with us at all." Angel of Exia shrugged. "So most of the escort jobs have nothing to do with her. She was able to go this time because the job wasn't exciting."

“Exciting? What’s considered exciting?” Huang asked curiously, putting his arm around Lin Lei’s shoulder. Apparently, to this silly Filin, Drjie, who was willing to buy her a drink and take her to punish evil and promote good, was already considered a ‘brother’.

"Hmm..." Exiah held up his finger and thought for a long time: "Recently, the most exciting one was probably the one when I received a commission from Rhodes Island and was responsible for guiding you through the slums and fighting your way out."

"Uh, okay, just pretend I didn't ask!" Huang immediately raised his hands in surrender. In fact, when Rhodes Island was about to cooperate with Lungmen, Huang wanted to volunteer to be the first field operator to go to Lungmen, but was directly rejected by Kal'tsit because of the reason that "if you do something, I think Lungmen will send us a sky-high bill later."

But so what! Didn't I come here anyway? When Huang thought of this, the cat's tail on his back swayed happily twice: "So shall we continue to go to the slums today?"

“Well, even though the Rat King doesn’t want us to kill that guy, it’s still necessary to find his location. Otherwise, both the slums and Longmen will be in trouble.” Just as Linley was about to take Huang out, the Emperor swaggered in through the door.

"Boy, you are wrong. Not all of them will be affected. The Dragon Gate has already suffered. Unfortunately, it is the building of their Imperial Guards that is in trouble." The emperor said in a gloating tone, "I can already imagine how stinky that old dragon will be at the banquet later."

"Ah, which force dares to attack the Guard Bureau?"

"What do you think? Who else could it be other than the Integration Movement?" The emperor jumped onto the counter and drank the remaining half bottle of whiskey in one gulp. "Hey, you little girls are really something. You don't even know how to keep such good wine. Do you know that daily necessities are expensive?"

"I don't think someone like you, the boss, would say such things." The Archangel urged in a low voice.

"Angel of Exorcism, do you believe I will deduct your salary? And Texas, how come you only drove 180 mph last time? How can we, Penguin Logistics, survive with you?"

"I think it's better for us to leave first. By the way, Deruijie, should we go directly or go back to the base first? My weapons are still there." Huang said hesitantly.

“Let’s just go over there. Let’s deal with the trouble in the slums first.” Linley immediately gave his own judgment. “Of course, if you are worried about the people stationed there, you can just go back.”

"But can you go there alone?"

“It’s pretty much the same. At most, there aren’t many survivors.” Linley patted Huang’s shoulder. “By the way, when you return to the base, remember to say good morning to Shuangxing for me.”

107. Walking with Rats

"Frost Star? It's the white rabbit, right? Kal'tsit told me about it and told me to be careful." Huang said puzzledly while standing at the door of the bar. "If it's a rabbit as cute as Amiya, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

“If we’re just talking about whether she’s cute or not, then Froststar should be a good girl as cute as Amiya. At least that’s the case in my opinion.” Linley pondered for a long time before coming to this conclusion. The premise is that she’s not angry. If the little rabbit is angry, then at most she’ll pout and sulk like a little girl.

If it's a frost star, well, then I guess you won't be able to leave for a while - in the physical sense.

Huang immediately turned his head away suspiciously after hearing Lin Lei’s comments. He even leaned over to sniff the man’s body. “Are you familiar with each other? You and that guy are not in the same relationship, are you? It’s strange that there is only the smell of shower gel.”

“Big sis, don’t you want to take a shower after doing that?” Although they did it again, it didn’t stop Linley and Texas from cleaning themselves up. “And don’t rub against me like a Husky.”

“This...how would I understand? Forget it. I’ll go back first. If there’s nothing wrong over there, I’ll come to help you!” As a virgin, Huang didn’t understand anything. She immediately ran away. If she continued to talk to Lin Lei, she was afraid that she would make more strange movements.

Finally, they left. To be honest, taking Huang to find the Emperor's inner guard was not a good choice. This was why Lin Lei gave the big cat a way out. It was a mystery whether an elite operator who was good at attacking and annihilating could exert 50% of his strength when facing an inner guard.

So instead of bringing along Huang, who might be a burden, it would be better to let Lin Lei act alone. This way he would be freer. But how would the Reunion Movement enter the Dragon Gate? This time there was no way for them to take advantage of the slums.

At this time, someone from the slums immediately attracted Linley’s attention:

"Hey, you know, those homeless people who used to beg around here seem to be dead."

"Dead? Didn't we already help them? Even though it was just some leftovers, at least they were edible, right?"

"No, no, other beggars told me that they thought these guys were sick and wanted to look for them in their lair in the sewer...but they didn't find them. I guess they were dealt with by the Longmen government along with the missing gangsters."

"Hey, is that rumor true or not? Did the Rat King say anything?" At this time, the third person poked his head out of his window, his slightly weathered face full of fear. "Then should we prepare to run away? My wife and children have been infected with that disease..."

"Didn't you hear what those survivors said? The Rat King is in cahoots with the Longmen government. If the purge really starts, the Rat King will definitely stand on the side of the Longmen government!"

......

It seems that no matter how ridiculous a rumor is, if enough people spread it, someone will believe it! “This has already transformed from an invasion by the Reunion Movement into a serious war. Although so far it’s just a prelude... But forget it, this kind of thing is not something I should consider.” Linley whispered and immediately changed his direction—the sewer? But this is indeed a good hiding place.

And who knows where Longmen's sewer system leads to? Probably no one knows except the people who built Longmen, the mobile city.

“Where are you going? The sewer?” A woman with a rather indifferent voice called out to Lin Lei. If it weren’t for the communication he had yesterday and in the past, Lin Lei would have thought that this eldest daughter of the Lin family was a lady.

“Yeah, why can’t we go into the sewer?” Linley smiled and opened the manhole cover on the road. An indescribable odor immediately floated out. “Well, it looks like the sewer in this section of the slum hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.”

"You can't find anyone here even if you go down. Come with me." Lin Yuxia pinched her nose and said, "And cover the manhole for me, otherwise those with disabled legs or poor eyesight will fall in."

"What are you saying? Miss Lin has also crawled through the sewer?"

"You've never eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run? It's not like I haven't seen those homeless people go down before." Lin Yuxia responded unhappily, "Why are you the only one here today? Where's the film?"

“Something went wrong at Longmen, and she went back home because she was worried about her companions in the hotel.” Linley shrugged. “Doesn’t the Rat King know about this news?”

"My father should know, but he hasn't told me yet. He just said that if Dredger wants to go to the sewers, then take him there." The Zalak girl imitated the Rat King in the same tone, "Otherwise I wouldn't be waiting for you around here."

As someone who had always lived in the slums, Lin Yuxia took Lin Lei on a shortcut with ease. In less than fifteen minutes, they had arrived at a larger sewer entrance.

“With such a big hole, it’s no wonder that homeless people are willing to live in the sewer. I just wonder if there is a rat and four turtles who know kung fu in there.” Linley nodded repeatedly. “But Miss, why don’t you leave? Are you planning to go in with me?”

"What else?" Lin Yuxia raised her eyebrows. "I just want to check out what this sewer is like. Can it really be used to hide people? Or is it that the famous Golden Gunman can't protect me?"

“There may be a guard inside, and I can’t guarantee that I can protect you without killing him.” Lin Lei said in an extremely serious tone, but Lin Yuxia had already drawn her Originium staff and walked towards the entrance, as if she didn’t hear what Lin Lei said at all.

Knowing that the Zalak girl's figure was completely swallowed by the darkness, she slowly spoke: "I have the design drawings of the sewers. Without me, you will get lost in there...so you have to take me with you no matter what."

“It sounds like I don’t have a choice.” Linley sighed. “If your old man knew you were playing like this, I think you’d be grounded sooner or later.”

"Who knows? I'm just doing it for the ghetto."

“If that’s the case, then lead the way.” Lin Lei pulled out the thorns and came to Lin Yuxia’s side with just one leap. “Also, don’t walk too fast. It’s best not to be more than three meters away from me.”

"So cautious?"

"No, I'm just a little afraid of the dark."

108.Silence/Howling

Dry and warm in winter and cool in summer, this was Lin Lei's first reaction when he entered the sewer, provided that you could tolerate the accumulation of excrement and sewage residue at the entrance. The wide enough passage and the platform prepared for the cleaning staff on the side became the "home" of many homeless people.

“I wonder if there is any legend about oil paper bags here.” Linley stroked his chin. The sleeping bags placed on the platform were all opened, and the oil stains on them proved that they were the ‘beds’ of the homeless people.

"Something's wrong." Lin Yuxia frowned. "Drejie, take a look at the edge of the sleeping bag. Is it too clean?"

The ground, which should have been covered in oil, actually gave Linley the illusion that it was spotless. “Someone has cleaned this place specially. Hasn’t your father Gray Tail been here?”

"If they had been here, I wouldn't be here." Lin Yuxia said bluntly, "Do you think it was done by the internal guard?"

Linley shook his head. “If that inner guard had taken action, he would have left obvious traces. This should have been done by the Reunion group… But when did they get here, and how did they get in right under the Rat King’s nose?”

"The inner guard... not only us, but also my father and Governor Wei have been attracted by the inner guard." Lin Yuxia whispered, "And now not only have we not found the inner guard, but we can't even stop the damn rumor."

“That’s not something I can consider. This place should still be in the slums… If the inner guard is here, he will definitely not stay at an entrance like this.” Linley patted the girl’s shoulder and said, “Go forward. Don’t worry. I will take care of it for you.”

The two did not stay at this "relic" point for too long and continued to move forward along the intricate pipes of the sewer. This time, less than fifty meters away, they saw the Reunion soldiers stationed there. However, these Reunion soldiers were also very different from those who temporarily joined the Reunion fighters.

Whether standing or holding weapons... they were more professional and rigorous, as if they were regular soldiers! "Sure enough, just as that person said, someone is here." One of the soldiers laughed strangely, and the crossbow with obvious signs of aging was aimed at Lin Yuxia's head:

"Then die here..."

"Bang! Bang!"

The loud and recognizable gunshots from the Thorns instantly tore through the silence of the pipe. Before the two soldiers could say anything, a bloody hole appeared on their heads. Unlike Lin Yuxia, Lin Lei could still see the green souls on their bodies:

"As the Lunyu says: Since you have come here, let's bury you here... together with your souls." The man said softly, put away the thorns, walked to the corpse and took off his clothes.

"Eh? You're not going to take the clothes off these two people and put them on yourself, are you?"

“How is that possible? These guys are not the trash from the Reunion Movement, and if nothing unexpected happens, the sound of my shooting would have been discovered by the remaining sentries.” Lin Lei explained as he scratched, not caring at all about the stains on his hands.

Lin Yuxia also noticed Lin Lei’s actions: “Do they have any problems?”

“That kind of posture is not something a group of militiamen or civilians can do.” Linley had seen what kind of posture the Reunion Movement’s crossbowmen used. Even Faust’s phantom crossbowmen could not raise their crossbows and shoot to that degree.

"Hiss... There is no nameplate and no identification, even their faces are disfigured." Just as the man took off the masks of the two men, the girl behind him took a breath of cold air. It could be vaguely seen that there was not a single piece of intact skin on the face of the middle-aged Ursus man, as if the two masks were welded to their faces.

“But you already know who they are, don’t you?” Linley said as he stood up and looked towards the end of the dim passage, where dozens of Reunion fighters were approaching. “If I were you, I would just crawl into the pipe next to me. At least that way I wouldn’t have to die, right?”

At this time, Lin Yuxia pulled the man's coat and said, "Hey, De Ruijie, we seem to be surrounded."

“There are also some behind me?” Two ice sickles appeared in his hands, and the chilly air gushed out from Lin Lei’s body! Lin Yuxia, who thought she was wearing thick clothes, couldn’t help but shiver.

"I remember you were playing with fire, how come you are playing with ice now?"

“I’m afraid that I might blow up the Longmen sewer pipe!” Lin Lei said as he immediately jumped high up—actually it wasn’t that high, the highest point of this sewer pipe was about three meters. Lin Yuxia also waved the Originium staff in her hand, and the non-existent wind and sand immediately spread throughout the sewer pipe. At the same time, the sand turned into transparent glass at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What kind of Originium skill is this? Is it an Originium skill that turns sand and magma into glass by throwing them into a smelting furnace? But even though he complained, it didn’t affect Lin Lei’s throwing of the ice sickle in his hand. Speaking of it, that period in the end of the world was relatively easy and enjoyable in Lin Lei’s journey through time—except that he couldn’t touch water or look at others, there was nothing wrong with it.

The blizzard directly covered the entire sewer, and the Originium skill of the Zarak girl blocked their possibility of escape. The blizzard that was powerful enough to freeze the arrows flying in the air directly wiped out the idea of these warriors dying together.

The frost spread directly along the path of the blizzard until the soldiers on both sides were frozen into ice sculptures. Only then did the "cold disaster" completely end. "Well, the sewer pipes were indeed not blown open, but now they are completely frozen. What should we do?"

“Why don’t you call the Health Bureau or the Urban Construction Department? Why are you asking me?” Linley shook off the ice chips on his hands and said casually, “After all, this is already my gentlest approach. You don’t want Longmen to use the excuse of a methane explosion or a natural gas explosion to fool the residents later.”

"And you didn't cause the glass, so aren't you also responsible for clogging the sewer?"

"Then can't you control your own temperature? 'Longmen Foul Words' I'm almost frozen to death by you!"

While the two were arguing fiercely about who was to blame, black smoke was circling around their feet, and Viper was waiting for an opportunity that belonged to him alone.

109. The Young Falcon Soars Under the Silver Moon (Part )

"Are you sure? The integration movement entering Longmen city now is disguised by Ursus' army?" Wei Yanwu looked at the black-capped shadow guard who was reporting. The dragon face with the ancient style now looked a bit like a dragon face in another sense - he really wanted to kill the horse of the emperor's inner guard.

"It's absolutely true. At least I've never seen such a cooperative group of infected warriors. Moreover, Inspector Shi Huaiya and her group of Guards will not be able to hold out alone." Shadow Guard knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Wei, let us go. If necessary, we can also deal with those guys in the slums."

Faced with the wishes of his own guards, Wei Yanwu did not rush to give orders. Even though he was extremely annoyed, patience has always been a necessary quality for an excellent politician. After all, the information he had now was not enough for him to make a judgment: "Wen Yue, has Ge Rui sent any news?"

"No, since the day you wanted the Shadow Guard to clean up the slums directly, he hasn't sent any relevant information, but he did find someone to deal with the emperor's sharp blade."

"Who?" The face of a time traveler had already appeared in Wei Yanwu's mind, but he still asked.

"Our old friend, De Ruijie." Wen Yue said as she placed a stack of information on Wei Yanwu's desk. "That guy must have had a fight with the inner guards yesterday. The entire gang's yard has traces of being infected by the country."

"What's the result?"

"The internal guard must have escaped, otherwise Dredger wouldn't have returned to the slums so soon this morning."

"Then let's not worry about the slums for now, let's go kill those bastards inside Longmen first!" At this moment Wei Yanwu finally made up his mind, "Try not to expose your whereabouts. In a sense, this is also a good training opportunity for our Guards Bureau."

"But Lord Wei, your military training this time may be subject to inspection by the Supervisory Department." The black cape who volunteered hesitated for a moment before telling the information he knew, "If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive at Longmen in the next two days."

"Longmen is a foul language!" Wei Lao Er was stunned: "Why did you bring people from the Supervision Department here?"

"Not sure, but according to intelligence, some of their people have indeed set out and are heading towards Longmen." Upon hearing the news, the expression of the Governor of Longmen suddenly became very interesting.

No matter how big the changes in Longmen City were, a fight broke out again in the sewers. As a powerful Originium Warlock, Lin Yuxia could only act as a spectator.

Unlike the ease he had shown in the courtyard before, Linley’s chest and right arm were injured, and the power from the evil spirit was preventing his wounds from healing. Both of these injuries were inflicted before Linley and Viper officially started fighting.

...Let's go back half an hour...

As Lin Yuxia and Lin Lei continued to move along the sewer towards the city of Longmen, the dim lights and the overly thin black fog did not attract the man’s attention. In a sense, the first target of this emperor’s inner guard was not Lin Lei.

Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to pick on the weak.

Compared to Lin Lei, who had no flaws but was full of flaws, the little girl who looked like a guide next to him was obviously the real breakthrough point. How long would it take for an inner guard to kill an unsuspecting person? For them, it only took a thought, but even so, their surprise attack still made mistakes.

How did that man suddenly appear in front of the Zalak woman, and why was he still standing even though the long knife had clearly pierced his heart?

“Your inner guards are really only capable of sneak attacks?” Linley waved his intact left hand. The power from the northern evil was lingering around his wound. Perhaps only light energy could dispel this state.

But now was obviously not a good time to use light energy. Linley was not annoyed. A truly strong person must learn to adapt to the environment! His left hand once again drew out the residual light, and the dark blue ice crystals completely covered his wound.

“Hu...hiss...why don’t you die?” Viper walked slowly into the canal, with dark air flowing around him: “But it doesn’t matter. What can you use to fight me now?” After saying that, the shadow of the inner guard disappeared directly from Lin Yuxia’s sight, and at the same time, Lin Lei himself disappeared.

When the two figures reappeared, they had already appeared on the opposite platform. The residual light like magma released several sword auras with a chilling chill! Viper blocked them all with the concrete power of the evil demon. The black and red long sword in his hand chopped wantonly, and his sword technique was weird and arrogant.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Two figures like meteors were fighting recklessly in the sewer. The sewage splashed under their feet even became part of their weapons and attacked the other side. The black smoke and the cold air eroded each other.

“You know, the people who hired me hope to expel you from the slums, because you are hard to kill anyway.” Linley used his remaining light to block the short spear that suddenly attacked from the left. “In a sense, I agree with this statement.”
