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

Nine Reunion soldiers in different outfits just lay quietly on the ground. Although it was not quiet around them, it could even be said to be noisy...but Linley was a very generous person. He gave all nine bullets to them, not one more or one less.

Now there was only one member of the Reunion Movement left in the alley, and Linley was reloading his rifle: “Now there are only two of us in this alley, so there’s no need to hide like this… I recognize you, but I didn’t expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would betray the revolution.”

What greeted Lin Lei was a short black thorn that flew out of his hand, and at the same time, the vines hanging beside the abandoned house began to grow wildly like crazy.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The bullets from Thorn directly knocked away the flying thorns, and the remaining two bullets fell threateningly on the black and white striped snake's tail - the last person left was a Fidelia, a Fidelia from Longmen.

The spreading vines stopped the moment they approached the man, and white frost slowly climbed up from the tips of the vines. "Do you know me?" a woman's figure came from behind the roadblock. "I don't think a killer who came to Chernobyl would know me."

“I’m not a killer, so these guys deserve what they get.” Linley approached slowly, while Thorn pointed directly at the snake’s tail that was still moving. If the owner of the tail wasn’t quite aggressive, he would have wanted to rip it clean off.

After all, it looks very smooth!

“I say, you know your tail is exposed, don’t you?” After saying that, Linley pulled the trigger again. The red-haired, blue-eyed Fidelia woman leaped out from behind the roadblock like a tiger, with a second short thorn in her hand!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The time for the thorn to fire three shots was enough for him to get close! Within seven steps, the knife must be fast! Jiu thought confidently, but the other party did not choose to continue shooting, but a ball of blue light was thrown directly to the ground by him.

A series of ice crystals then emerged from the ground and approached her at a speed that Jiu couldn't react to!

"Dang~"

Just as the woman’s short thorn was about to touch Linley’s neck, she had already turned into an ice sculpture—but fortunately, this time Linley reduced the power of the ice shadow, and the freezing grenade that should have frozen her heart along with her cardiovascular system now only created a temporary ice cage.

"Let me think, what did that sentence say: Criminal No. 9, you are released from prison today, but I forgot the beginning and the middle... Anyway, the prison will accompany you forever, and this ice armor is your new cell."

"If you want to kill me, do it quickly. Don't humiliate me here!" Jiuyi turned his head, and then the sharp horns on his head shattered the ice crystals.

“It seems that you really don’t know me, but I do know you.” Linley took out a cigarette, and the ice crystals on his fingertips turned into blazing flames and lit the cigarette in his mouth. “The deputy director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, Nine.”

After hearing Linley’s words, Jiuye suddenly became quiet: “When did you get to know me?”

“I saw you in the Longmen slums a year and a half ago.” Linley snorted twice and then blew out a smoke ring. “But it seems that you were no longer a member of the Longmen Guard Bureau at that time.”

"Yes, I resigned. After all, as you can see, I am an infected person... Besides, you said you saw me a year and a half ago?"

Did something happen in Longmen a year and a half ago that would make me remembered? "No, you are that Deruijie?"

“That’s correct. So tell me why you came here?” Linley asked softly as he swiftly shook another cigarette out of the cigarette box. “Would you like one?”

"Then can you let me go?"

"No, after all, I don't know what you are going to do. Fortunately, you were not among the people who caused trouble just now, otherwise I would not be chatting with you so calmly." The man squatted down and ate his meal one bite at a time. There was another reason why he was here:

That means the chase between the wolf hunter and the wolf is about to end, and the place where he is standing is the end point of the King Slayer lady (in the physical sense of course).

"Forget it, I don't smoke."

Linley immediately laughed. “You are quite straightforward. I really don’t mean any harm to you. But that’s enough idle chatter. It’s time for me to close the net.”

Then, accompanied by a loud 'boom!', two figures, one red and one black, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"We meet again, Miss King Slayer~"

123. Operation Cut City (IV)

"Hong, be gentle, don't twist our Miss Kingslayer's waist."

Seeing the Kingslayer still trying to turn around and fight Hong, Linley walked over to the two of them with a smile. Unlike the Kingslayer who had previously shown an expression of disdain, this assassin now looked at the two with hatred in his eyes:

"Do you want to destroy everything of the infected?!"

“No, we are restoring order.” Linley looked at the King Slayer and no longer had the heart to continue joking. He walked forward, held down the struggling girl’s head, and took off her mask.

"Your communications should have been completely cut off, right?"

"How do you know? You did it?!" The girl struggled, but Hong behind her suppressed the King Slayer as always:

“Lin Lei, Hong smells the scent of a real wolf from her, but she is not a wolf.” Hong said softly, “She still wants to fight back. Hong can pierce her spine and paralyze her.”

Linley shook his head. “Rhodes Island has only just arrived in Chernobog. How could they possibly have the time to do this? And you should have a candidate in mind. Who would do such a thing?”

"How is it possible? Although the leader has changed...but she..."

Just as Linley was about to say something, Kelsey’s voice rang out from behind them: “Drejie, go and complete your mission. Leave this to me.” The old lynx looked at the King Slayer with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes:

"You and Ilya do look somewhat similar, Lyudmila..."

Wow, it seems that our assassin lady is not that simple! She is actually related to the old lynx? Just when Lin Lei wanted to say something, Kal'tsit immediately glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? Amiya and the others are about to approach the power zone of the core city, and you are still here watching the show?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Is it true that they don’t even have time to eat melons, or is the next topic more private? But just as Lin Lei was about to leave, Kal’tsit stopped him again: “Take the guy from the former Dragon Gate Guard Bureau away with him.”

Why does it feel like everyone here knows me, except for the Reunion Movement? Jiu glanced at the old lynx with a complicated expression, but she really didn’t have the ability to resist Lin Lei who was carrying her.

"I said, aren't you tired of carrying me?"

“Not tired. After all, you’re so pretty, so it’s not like you’re tired.” Linley said with a smile, “But I’m still curious as to why you left Longmen…”

"Will you let me go if I tell you?"

"If it was just now, then it's fine. But now it's not possible. You have to pay more. Can you introduce yourself first?"

"Where are you from? Are you a gangster? How can you lend money at high interest rates like this?" Jiu was shocked. "Introduce yourself? Don't you already know my name, Jiu?"

“What if this is just a pseudonym, like the Only-1 you used before?” Linley stroked his chin. “You can call me Dredger. This is indeed my code name.”

"Why do I feel like you know a lot? Are you really the Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals? Why do I feel like you're a spy?"

“If I were a spy, I would have been bitten to death by a dog a long time ago.” Linley rolled his eyes in annoyance. Now he could see the messengers and guerrillas who were guarding the power room. “It looks like we can’t go any further.”

"That's the power zone of the entire core city. If I were the leader of the Reunion Movement, I would definitely set up heavy defenses there."

“Then are you interested in becoming the leader?” Linley said as he placed Jiu on the ground. The ice crystals on the Fidelia girl shattered in response. “Miss Jiu.”

"Just call me Nine. And what did you mean by that?"

Linley stared into the girl’s eyes, which were a pair of eyes that were filled with wisdom and reason. “Xingxiong and I have that kind of relationship, so I have heard a lot of news about you from her. As an informant for that Mr. Chen, I shouldn’t be in a place like this.”

"That's because the current Longmen is not suitable for people like me to survive." Jiu said lightly, "Maybe one day I will come back again, but definitely not now." The former director of the Guard Bureau once again showed her due demeanor:

"So let's talk about what you guys want to do?"

“Stop this city, and then behead him.” Linley made a gesture of wiping his neck. “Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean beheading, but the current leader of the Reunion Movement will definitely be dealt with by us.”

"Then why do you think I am qualified to lead such a group of defeated soldiers?"

“I believe in the wisdom and rationality of a former chief of the Imperial Guards. After all, in a place like Longmen, you might be able to rely on your family connections or other such means to climb up to a higher position in the Imperial Guards.” Linley pulled out the thorn as if to indicate something:

"But the positions of director and special inspection team have always been held by the Longmen Governor, right? If you don't have the skills, would Wei Yanwu let you become the director of the Imperial Guard Bureau?"

“So don’t lie to yourself. Now you’re free.” Linley said as he jumped onto a tall building nearby. His back blocked out the sunlight. Jiu almost subconsciously asked, “What about you? What are you doing?”

"Dealing with some family disputes. Besides, you have my phone number in your pocket... If the integration movement is no longer like it is now, maybe I will accept your commission?"

......Power Zone......

It was an extremely empty flat land, or rather, the original houses and objects had all been flattened by the two people in the center. Neither the restless Rosemary nor the ready-to-fight Tundra Guerrillas took action, but left time and space to the father and daughter in the field.

The Patriot stood in the middle of the field holding his scarred shield and halberd, like a towering mountain. On the other side stood his adopted daughter, Froststar, whom he cared deeply about. The warrior, whose vocal cords had been damaged by oripathy, spoke slowly:

"Why... do you want to... come back?"

"Of course, it's to stop what Tallulah is doing now." Froststar took off her ice mask, "Get out of the way, old stubborn man, let's stop this battleship that is about to self-destruct. The future of the Reunion Movement should definitely not be like this."

"But...what you are doing...is the destruction of...their...faith."

The Patriot put up his shield, while Froststar frowned: "Faith still has a chance to be rebuilt, but if everything is destroyed, what is the meaning of faith!"

In response, Wendigo simply raised his spear, his scarlet eyes silent, but Froststar already understood what his father meant:

"If you defeat me, then everything you said is right!"

124. Patriot (I)

"Old stubborn!"

But even though she knew what her father was thinking, Shuang Xing still wanted to curse him. She did not hesitate and immediately walked back to Amiya and the others:

"I'm sorry the negotiation failed."

"Mr. Patriot, he still won't give in?"

"My father... probably wants to use force to test your ability." Shuangxing hesitated for a moment before expressing his opinion, "Defeat him with force to prove that we are qualified to change this city."

"It sounds like we have no choice." Amiya said regretfully. She then looked at the doctor and Rosemary behind her and said, "Officer Chen, you may have to go forward alone."

Chen didn't say anything but nodded. She then grabbed her Chi Xiao and ran to the gap on the side. The Patriot had already raised his halberd, and his not-so-loud voice instantly tore through the entire battlefield:

"Rhodes Island... Next... I will march... "

Accompanying the Wendigo were countless hounds and guerrilla fighters, while the shield guards, who represented the elite guerrilla forces, stood guard beside the patriots like a pair of strong shields. In an instant, shouts and war cries rose to the sky, and even Tallulah, who was far away in the command tower, could hear them.

"A true patriot, Bozhuocasti, but can you really stop those infected people with clear goals?" The Dragon Lady smiled dangerously, and another kind of induction that was almost like blood relationship made her want to sing a song:

"My dear daughter, can you feel it? Your sister, the dragon named Chen Huijie is coming! Do you think she wants to recognize you? Or does she want to take her sister's life with her own hands?"

But unfortunately, even though Tallulah's soul has awakened, her body has been taken over by the black snake. She can only observe the changes in events like an outsider in the hope of a turn of events that may not exist at all.

"Huijie...you must live well."

At the same time, the three combat teams of Rhodes Island had already encountered the guerrillas head-on, but fortunately, the presence of Rosemary greatly reduced the possibility of the operators being injured - the invisible big hand wielded a tombstone-like sword to smash all the approaching soldiers to pieces.

"Ms. Froststar, let's go together. Your father is definitely not someone who can be defeated by himself..." Just as Amiya was about to face the Wendigo, a man's voice appeared behind her:

“Indeed, it’s clear that the Wendigo cannot be dealt with by one person, so leave it to me.” Linley said as he pulled Amiya to the back of the team. “As for you, Amiya, stay by the doctor’s side and keep her safe.”

“Mr. Linley! But is it really okay? If I come…”

“That’s not necessary. After all, some things can never be undone once they’re used.” Linley smiled and patted the girl’s head. Then he looked at Shuangxing who was standing beside him. “It looks like the negotiation wasn’t successful.”

"He has always been like this." Shuangxing sighed, "And I can feel that his condition is not very good. I am afraid he can't hold on."

"He won't die as long as I'm here." The man said as he drew out the residual light, and his other hand condensed into an ice sickle again, "Are you ready?"

"I'll cover you."

Then the cold wind howled! The blizzard created by Silent Howl and Frost Star's Winter Wrath froze dozens of guerrillas in an instant, and the shield guards in the formation were also covered with a thick layer of white frost.

But unlike the enemies Linley had encountered before, these shield guards did not stop after being hit by the frost. The only difference was that their speed was much slower. The change in formation naturally gave the two men an opportunity to break in. With a sickle in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, Linley roamed freely among the crowd of guerrilla fighters.

Frost Star behind him raised his staff every time the soldiers tried to attack Lin Lei, and this almost instantaneous freezing stance directly stopped the soldiers from taking the next move.

When was the last time he felt such a strong blizzard? Was it when he first saw the child, or when he faced the inner guard to protect Tallulah? This ice storm can indeed prevent people from moving, but it can't stop a "mountain".

At the moment, the Patriot was this mountain. The frost under his feet was crushed directly by his iron boots. The strong shield in his hand hindered the progress of the blizzard to a certain extent. The ice crystals of Frost Star could freeze several people instantly and could only pause the movement of this Wendigo.

"You two...are strong...but...not enough."

The slightly decayed giant halberd slashed down at Frost Star mercilessly. The power of this blow alone was enough to allow an inner guard to release the kingdom in his body; but fortunately, Frost Star dodged his father's attack with just a flash.

Seeing this, Lin Lei on the side did not hesitate, and the remaining light in his hand, carrying an almost tangible cold current, pierced towards the Patriot!

"clang!"

How could this mountain move so quickly? The Patriot also proved one thing: even if the shield was in disrepair, it would be difficult to penetrate it easily as long as the raw materials were good enough.

The ice crystal with sufficient hardness could only leave a small dent on the shield. Seeing that his attack did not work, he immediately dodged to the back. However, the huge shield came at him like a mud truck just as he expected!

Fortunately, Linley landed on one hand and continued to roll, and the shield was only an inch away from his face!

The Patriot pulled back his shield the next moment after realizing that his shield attack was ineffective, and Froststar's ice crystal turret hit his shield as expected. "Stop, old stubborn man, if you keep going like this, your body won't be able to take it. Even a Wendigo can't withstand the high level of mineral infection!"

"Show no... mercy... to your... enemies!"

The halberd then swept across, and Linley pushed Froststar to the ground so that she could avoid the attack. “Your father is really a bit stubborn.”

"It's been like this since he rescued me from the mine, and he always keeps it to himself no matter what's on his mind." Shuangxing was so angry that his teeth were itching. "But now we don't even have the ability to have a fair conversation with him, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Just scrape it off first. Although your father's weapons and shields are made of good materials, they can't withstand long-term high-intensity combat, especially in such a low-temperature environment!"

125. Patriot (II)

The wind was freezing cold, and ice crystals sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain. This area, which was supposed to be a wasteland, now seemed to have entered the Ice Age. The forest-like ice crystals directly separated the battlefield.

The shield guards that had been protecting the Patriot were also separated. Now there was no one around the Patriot, and within a hundred meters of him, there was nothing but frost. Linley held the Remnant Light and stood side by side with Frost Star. The White Rabbit spoke again:

"Old stubborn, tell your men to retreat... They are no match for that little cat. If they continue fighting, all the guerrillas will be killed."
