Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

Shesha picked up the gray-white revolver and fiddled with the ammunition compartment gently. "I have used this weapon before. Facing more than a dozen robbers, I completed the task brilliantly. Its performance and power are at their best. But I remind you that this type of weapon usually has a chance of jamming. Fortunately, you only need to repeatedly press the hammer to recover."

The man turned the trigger with his finger and threw open the magazine. There was no bullet in it. He did this to show Mike.

"Where's this crossbow?"

"A friend of mine once used it. Unfortunately, he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but died from an attack of Originium Disease. This is his relic."

"He must be very grateful to you for actually taking out the relics to sell."

"The man is already dead, do I still have to put this crossbow on the counter and worship it every day? If I can sell it for a good price, I will transfer the money to his parents. After all, he has two younger brothers and a younger sister, and they all need money."

"You guys are really good friends."

Mike commented, finally setting his sights on the cut-barrel shotgun with the unfinished label.

Shesha shook his head and refused: "This work is not yet finished. You may encounter an accident while holding it. It is possible that the ammunition may fly out of the magazine. I have seen an unlucky person lose his life because of this kind of malfunction."

"It sounds like he has quite a story, too."

"This is what I prepared for myself. As for what will happen next, I'm sorry I don't know either."

Mike hesitated for a moment, touched the revolver, then touched the crossbow. To be honest, he wanted both of them. As for the shotgun, forget it. It would be better to leave it to Shesha himself.

The red-haired man also noticed Mike's hesitation: "How about this, if you want both, this deal can be established. I need you to pay an additional fee. If you don't have money, write down the bill and I will help you pass it to Miss Lin."

"Are you so sure?"

"I may not believe you, but I will believe Lin from Longmen."

"Okay, I want both weapons."

A crossbow and enough crossbow arrows, a revolver and several boxes of bullets, all of which were packed into the briefcase that Mike brought.

He didn't spend a penny, but he had already incurred a huge foreign debt.

Although Lin Yuxia would help him pay the money, Mike also knew that he would have to pay a more painful price when he had to pay the interest in the future.

Miss Lin's money is not so easy to spend.

Before leaving, Mike thought of another thing: "I am a little curious. Your race is rare in the Longmen area. What made you leave your homeland and come here?"

"This is my secret. I will go back one day."

Looking into Shesha's deep gaze, Mike fully understood what the red-haired man was thinking.

As a doctor of Rhodes Island, he is well aware of Sesa's past and Sesa's careful preparations.

3. Guiying seriously considered confessing

This man's brother once promoted a great project for this land, but was murdered and died. Shesha left his hometown just to avenge his brother.

Previously, Mike recommended Shesha to ask Yi Ke for help, but for some reason there was no follow-up. Shesha came to Longmen and cooperated with Lin Yuxia again.

Forget it, let Lin Yuxia worry about it.

Mike left with his things, and when he returned to the van, Zhongyue had already completed the purchase of supplies.

Lin Yuxia did prepare some items, but they had to cross a long border and a large area of ​​Ursus wilderness with almost no human habitation to reach the border of Leithania, and the things they had on hand were far from enough.

It is worth mentioning that when Kal'tsit left, she allocated a large sum of funds to Mike to support his journey to the North.

This is real support, and Mike is naturally very grateful.

Otherwise, given his financial situation, he would have to take on some more work on the way to get there safely.

As for what Chongyue bought, there was no need to worry about it. The Grand Master had led troops into battle and crossed the desert filled with yellow sand, so he knew exactly what items should be prepared.

Mike also understood that the reason why Zhongyue joined the team was not only because of his own wishes, but also because of the will of Yan Country.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for this incarnation of the Sui Beast to leave his native land.

You may have to deal with senior officials of Yan Country in the future.

To some extent, Mike was a little bit disgusted by this.

"Have you got what you wanted?"

Mike threw his handbag on the back seat and Puppet moved aside.

"In addition to ranged weapons, I also bought a chess set and a deck of poker."

There is no place to recharge them in the wilderness, so some basic entertainment props are also very welcome.

Mike sat in the passenger seat and asked casually, "Puppet Shadow, Kal'tsit, have I ever told you who I am?"

The puppet didn't say anything. A pure black cat jumped from the back seat to Mike's shoulder, and just as the man was about to turn around, it slapped his cheek with its claws.

"Ah! Miss Christine, what did I do wrong that you would do this to me?"

"Meow."

He was answered by a cat's meow.

Mike knew that his previous question was in vain. Even Christine jumped out, which meant that Puppet Shadow already knew who he was. Most likely, Kal'tsit wrote it in the letter, and those who knew about it also included Zhongyue next to him.

The mature and steady Zhongyue saw this scene and smiled happily, just like a retired old man.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and started the car: "I'm a little curious, what was Mr. Mike's mood when he confessed to Mr. Guiying?"

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Nearly three months have passed, and Mike had no intention of bringing up the past, but Chongyue raised the question and there was no way to avoid it. Christine, who was standing on his shoulder, raised her long furry tail.

Guiying was stunned for a moment. In fact, this question was difficult to answer.

A number of operators thought the doctor was joking, other operators seriously considered whether they should accept the confession, and the remaining operators had no chance to respond as the doctor's death occurred suddenly.

Afterwards, many operators asked Guiying about this, but he either did not answer or just shook his head. No one could get any valid answer from him.

Now that Zhongyue had raised the question, the doctor was sitting next to him, and even he, the person involved, wanted to hear what the doctor had thought at the time.

"Some accidents happened at that time, and my several confessions were unsuccessful. This filled me with despair, so I confessed to Guiying. Fortunately, he did not agree."

When Mike said this, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help feeling scared.

He heard from Kal'tsit that when Puppet Shadow accepted his confession, she spent several hours thinking and considering carefully before rejecting him.

God!

Guiying actually considered it? !

He actually considered it?!

Did the Gauls and Victorians have similar behaviors?

"Why are you interested in this, Zhongyue?"

When Mike looked at Zhongyue, his eyes were very complicated, and he even stepped back a few centimeters without making a sound.

His actions naturally caught the attention of the grandmaster. How could Zhongyue, who had practiced his skills to perfection, not understand what was in Mike's mind?

Veins bulged on his forehead, and he couldn't help but say, "My sisters are very curious about this."

Mike gasped, how old is Nian Xiling, and he still chases gossip like a little girl?

Seeing that the discussion could not go on any further, Zhongyue quickly stepped on the accelerator and got back on the road.

Even as the eldest brother, he felt very embarrassed when faced with these things.

After all, what the doctor did at the time was so unique.

……

Day and night alternated, the autumn wind gradually rose, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.

Mike drew two more strokes on the map and said to Guiying and Zhongyue who were setting up camp, "We have entered the territory of Leitania today. Just as I expected, when we crossed the border of Ursus, we did not find any border personnel, nor any signs of mobile cities passing by. It seems that although the wasteland is large, not all places are inhabited."

Zhongyue sighed, "I once heard of a prosperous era, where the population was more than ten times that of this land today, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were no terrible Originium disasters."

"Every era has its own limitations. There is no need to envy the past. Peace and beauty anywhere are short-lived. As long as there are conflicts between people, conflicts will inevitably arise. This has been the case since ancient times."

Mike put down the map in his hand, jumped out of the co-pilot, and said briefly: "We will stay in Leitania for a few days. I have to meet a few people."

"no problem."

Guiying naturally obeyed Mike's orders, and Chongyue, in line with the principle of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, would not object.

After they entered Leitania from the main road, they applied for entry permits at the office of the first transit station. Mike also bought a recent map of Leitania and quickly found where he wanted to go.

It was a land city, and just like all previous impressions of land cities, it lacked vitality and had old facilities, but at least it was habitable, providing a place for people who didn't want to leave to settle down.

As for the person Mike wanted to see, he was in that land city.

……

Antomde.

Today is still a calm day, the weather is pretty good, with sunny days and suitable temperatures.

Since the beginning of autumn, the trees on both sides of the road have begun to show brown and yellow leaves, which rustle and fall, like a soft carpet.

Perhaps local residents are already accustomed to this, but for outsiders, it is a good experience.

4. Black Keys and Chalk

This land city is peaceful and stable. Even the Originium disaster will deliberately avoid it. It is a suitable place for settlement and seclusion.

Although it is located on the main traffic route of the three mobile cities, the residents of those cities rarely come to disturb Antomde, which is also known as the forgotten land city.

Mike and his two companions drove here, which brought some ripples to the sparsely populated land city.

The other two people in the car didn't know why Mike came to this city specifically. They just looked around with curiosity.

There is no need to say much about Puppet. Before joining Rhodes Island, he was trapped in the Dionysus's troupe and knew little about the outside world except for Gaul described by the troupe.

Chongyue had been guarding the border in Yumen, Yan State for a hundred years. Having never left his homeland, he knew nothing about the outside world.

Mike, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the time and decided to drive directly to the vicinity of Antomde Middle School.

"I have three friends. One of them is a teacher here, and the other two are students here. We are close friends regardless of age."

When Mike said this, the puppet seemed to understand something. In his memory, the doctor once left Rhodes Island for Leithania for a period of time, and sealed the files after returning. The other operators had no idea what happened at that time, and could not access the relevant information.

But for Mike, that happened some years ago.

The weather was getting colder, and the autumn wind was sweeping the fallen leaves. It was not a good idea for several people to just wait in the car, so Mike went to a convenience store on the side of the road and bought three cups of coffee and some donuts.

They ate and talked, and soon the school bell rang inside the middle school, and students began to leave.

The young man looked at the van parked near the school gate, then looked at the three men gathered together, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

Land cities rarely receive outside visitors, and they are usually messengers, so what exactly happened?

Mike swallowed the last bite of the donut and threw the empty coffee cup into the trash can. His eyes swept over the students walking out of the school gate. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw three people, one tall and two short.

The tall adult man had long orange hair tied into a ponytail and wore a pair of very high-powered glasses. What really caught his eye was the pair of deer antlers on top of his head, which were really too big.

Following behind the man with deer horns were two middle school students. One student had black hair and black horns, and wore a black traditional Leitanian costume under his school uniform. The boy next to him did not have very obvious racial features, and wore a white formal suit under his school uniform.

When he saw them, Mike had already prepared a speech in his mind.

"Hello everyone, I'm the messenger sent by Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. This is a handwritten letter from Dr. Kal'tsit."

Mike handed a letter he had prepared in advance to the horned man. He knew it was from Czerny, a famous musician in Leitania. After the invention of the protostone generator, the prefix infected could be deleted.

The young man in black stared at the man in front of him warily. He was obviously a stranger, so why did he look so familiar?

The young man in white next to him took two steps forward and extended his hand to Mike.

"Hello, you are my friends from Rhodes Island. Welcome."

Czerny took the letter from Mike, opened it and took a look at it: "Dr. Kelsey said he was just here to visit us and will leave after confirming the situation."

Mike nodded, "Indeed."

There were some things he was not comfortable saying because his current identity was Mike, not a doctor from Rhodes Island.

The young man in white smiled and asked, "Mr. Mike, you are here in a hurry, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the north. As for what I'm going to do, I can't reveal it."

"It's okay. I'm just a little curious. I don't need to know the answers to all the questions."

The young man in black had a dazed look in his eyes. This situation was rare. It had hardly happened again since they came to this small city to live in seclusion. What happened today?
