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

"As for Longmen, on the one hand, we are only a few kilometers away from Longmen, and on the other hand, Longmen is likely to be the next target of the Integration Movement." Warfarin said as he changed his posture and leaned on the man's arm.

"It's a hot topic. The current location of Longmen is within the borders of Ursus."

“I see. Then the Reunion Movement does have some reason to be looking for trouble with Lungmen.” Linley instantly recalled Koschei’s whisper under the statue. Was he going to use the infected to reignite the war between Ursus and Yan Nation?

Use war to reshape Ursus and turn it back into the extremely powerful empire it once was... You are a bit extreme, Kosice.

“So you didn’t know this before.” Warfarin complained expressionlessly. She then reached out and poked Linley’s cheek and sat up. “By the way, I’ve made a custom weapon for you at Korsil. You can try it out later… Consider it your reward for my blood.”

Even though the front of that person is flat, his figure is still pretty good... Linley sighed secretly, then nodded: "Then I'll go there in a minute."

"Going right now!"

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

Looking at someone's lazy back, the Blood Demon smiled: "Hmph, what... I am still quite attractive, at least much more attractive than that old lynx~ hehe~" Not long after, Warfarin hummed a little tune and walked towards the blood bank.

“The doctor’s blood must have something special. I have to study it… With Lin Lei’s blood, I will definitely not be so easily tempted!”

... Rhode Island Department of Engineering ...

Rather than the engineering department, Lin Lei prefers to call this place a canteen, but no canteen would have such a strong smell of engine oil and so many heavy engineering machinery. If it weren’t for some of the machines still humming, this place would be no different from a museum.

At the end of the road, a black-haired Sarkaz girl wearing a black and red jacket was welcoming Amiya and the mysterious hooded man beside her with great enthusiasm.

Klothir, the chief engineer of Rhodes Island, is a blood demon like Warfarin...but to her, motor oil seems to smell better than blood, and her figure is far better than Warfarin's, which breaks Linley's stereotype that vampires are all white-haired and flat.

For example, the Bonfire Mist Branch, Sophie, and Dio Brando... Uh, this doesn't seem to be the white-haired tablet. I seem to have only played Kaleidoscope 4 before crossing over. I don't know if Kaleidoscope 5 has been released...

Linley walked up to Klushil with his mind wandering, and the small black robot on Klushil’s shoulder began to shake, alerting its master that someone was approaching.

"Good morning, Krusil, Amiya and this..."

"Just call me Jane." The doctor's voice came from the hood, "Amiya, let's go to the next location..."

“Okay, see you later, Klucie and Mr. Linley!” Amiya bowed to Linley with a hint of apology. In fact, she wanted to chat with Linley and act coquettishly, “But the doctor’s needs are more important.”

The moment the Doctor and Amiya disappeared, Klucel immediately turned her head and looked at Linley:

"Warfarin must have sent you here, you stingy guy."

"Otherwise, what is there about you that can attract me, gold digger?"

027. I am not the one who has to work overtime today! (Happy New Year's Eve)

“You are well-informed. You came here as soon as I finished my work.” But Lucille did not continue to argue with Linley. Instead, she patted her little robot and waved at it.

"According to the design idea given by my fellow tribesman, this weapon will look a bit strange." The blood demon who loves motor oil more than blood said as he opened the door of his workshop: "Let's go, take a look first and then consider whether to adjust it."

Lying on the all-metal table was a harpoon with an extremely unique shape: the foldable gun body made it easy to carry, and the extremely thick and sharp harpoon gun head had a deep groove, and at the back was a string and crossbow mechanism like a crossbow.

Lin Lei recognized this thing the first time he saw it: "Bomb harpoon gun... Is this the design idea that Warfarin gave you?" Did she give me this thing to let me hunt crocodiles or sharks?

But Lucille looked at him strangely: "Yeah, is there any problem? Although my senior's thinking is always strange, I think this weapon is really good." She pulled the gun body so that it could stand upright on the ground:

"Look at this synthetic steel. It's the best metal on the ship. ACE's shield is made of this material." She patted the tip of the gun with pride. "And this bleeding trough. I guarantee that if you slap someone with this thing, he will never get up again."

"And to make up for the defect that this is a cold weapon, we equipped it with a crossbow similar to the crossbow, but it is an explosive harpoon with greater power." Klushier took out a harpoon bullet with a hollow center like a magic trick.

“With just one shot, I can blow up any concrete wall or iron shield.” She looked at Linley with a smile: “But…”

“But?” Linley looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Just listening to what you said makes my blood boil.”

"Your expression doesn't look like you're full of enthusiasm. It's just that most of the materials used are synthetic metals... so its weight is much heavier than originally expected." Krusil complained, "Except for ACE and Huang, it seems that no one else can swing it easily. Why don't you try?"

"If that doesn't work, I will then remelt the weapon except for the gun head and replace it with lighter materials."

Nonsense, if you were beaten to death by this thing like weeds hundreds of times, you would also think that this thing is just like that, but how did Warfarin know the design of this weapon? Lin Lei scratched his head and reached out to take the harpoon gun handed over by the other side:

“It’s a bit heavy, but fortunately… not as heavy as I thought.” Linley said as he wielded the bomb harpoon gun in his hand in sweeping and chopping motions as if wielding a spear. Klushel beside him nodded in satisfaction.

"It would be great if it can be used. This way I don't have to recycle the materials, and Kal'tsit won't scold me for wasting them."

"You don't have to pay for the materials. I'll just charge a symbolic processing fee." The Blood Demon muttered as he put the harpoon bullets in his hand into a small black plastic box:

"Come to think of it, you, the stingy guy, have a really good relationship with my senior. Although the others would not discriminate against her after knowing that she is a blood demon, it is the first time in my life that I have seen someone as close as you and me, calling her a brother."

"Here, these are the bullets for this harpoon, six in total. If you run out, just ask me to restock..."

“Maybe they think I’m handsome.” Linley shrugged and put away the bullet box. “Besides, to me, there’s no difference between a blood demon and a Sarkaz.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed good at talking." Kluchil blinked her eyes after hearing that. "But I still have to remind you that blood demons like us are a minority after all. The vast majority of blood demons are either at the execution ground or on their way to the execution ground."

“I understand, I understand. I’ll be leaving now.” Linley waved his hand, put his harpoon gun on his back, and walked out of the engineering department. “I’ll be able to enjoy this hard-earned vacation soon~”

......Rhode Island Deck......

The doctor took off his hood. After all, according to Filin, who looked extremely serious and even a little old-fashioned, he had to get more sun exposure to maintain the balance of vitamins. After walking around the Rhodes Island with Amiya, he just wanted to take a rest.

"What kind of city is Longmen?" Jane thought as she lay down on a recliner that someone had put on the deck. "It can't be the same as Chernobyl, right?"

“That’s not the case. Longmen’s policy towards the infected is much better than Ursus’s.” Linley’s voice came from behind. “Also, Doctor, I brought up the recliner you’re using specially.”

“Ah?! Sorry, sorry!” Jane subconsciously wanted to get up from the chair, but unfortunately she was pushed back by Lin Lei when she was only halfway up.

"You can continue to lie down. It's good to get some sun after recovering from a serious illness. I won't have to compete with other patients for a chair." The man dragged another recliner over and lay down on it contentedly.

"The sun is shining so brightly, I should just lie down here and have a good rest."

Jian turned his head and looked at the man beside him curiously and asked, "Have you been to Longmen, Deruijie? I've read your file these two days, and you don't seem to be infected with Originium disease."

“Just call me Lin Lei-Yu or Lin Lei in Rhodes Island. Calling me Dredger in a place like this always makes me feel like I’m making extra money.” The man rolled his eyes and answered weakly:

"I went to Longmen once a year and a half ago for some reasons. At that time, Longmen was already a commercial capital. Their policies towards infected people were much better than those in Ursus, but discrimination still existed."

“In addition, I work at Rhodes Island for the salary and benefits, and also because I have to repay Dr. Kelsey and the others for saving my life.” Linley said softly, “And in my eyes, there is no difference between infected and non-infected people. What about you, Doctor?”

Jian nodded in agreement. “I agree with your point of view. By the way, isn’t it training time now? Don’t you need to go to training, Lin Lei?”

“Doctor, is it possible that I’m on vacation now…I don’t have to work for seven days starting from today?” Linley chuckled. “And I forgot to tell you that I’m a logistics operator, not a field operator. My main job is to help in the kitchen, not to train.”

"Also, Doctor, I forgot to tell you..." Someone's voice sounded like a devil at this moment, "You have another mission to command in five minutes, so you should take some time to rest~"

028. Let me treat you to the secret pork chop rice of the Guard Bureau (Happy New Year)

...At around 5 pm that night, at the quarantine point of Longmen District ...

As night fell, the outline of Longmen gradually became clearer under the light. Countless buildings stood in the darkness, and various lights shone through the windows like stars falling to the earth, illuminating every Longmen person walking in the night.

A group of police officers in black uniforms holding riot shields and stun batons set up a defense line, and the radio nearby played the relevant regulations of Longmen in a loop:

"Due to the natural disaster, all flights to Longmen are suspended. All entrances to Longmen District 5 will be closed in two hours."

At this time, the Rhodes Island team led by Amiya and the Doctor finally rushed to the vicinity after completing the commission from Longmen. One of the police officers with good eyesight turned his head and looked at the Dragon Lady beside him after discovering them:

"Sir, they are coming."

The dragon lady narrowed her eyes and nodded: "I understand, you continue to maintain order." She walked towards where Amiya and the others were and said bluntly: "Rhodes Island and the Guard Bureau agreed to meet at ten o'clock, and now it is ten fourteen. You are late, Rhodes Island."

Amiya quickly bowed and apologized: "Commander Chen, I'm sorry, because there was an integration in this area just now..."

"Okay, I get it, but this isn't..." Chen frowned, but before she could finish her words she was interrupted by a man carrying a harpoon and a suitcase.

"No, this is not the reason for your lateness. This is a new mission you temporarily assigned to Rhodes Island. They accepted such a troublesome mission out of humanitarianism... It would be fine if you didn't help them, but you also blame them. Are you human?"

Chen didn't get angry when he heard this, but stared at the other person: "Who are you? Why are you speaking for them?"

“Me? I’m a tourist who came to Longmen for tourism. I just can’t stand your bullying behavior!” Lin Lei said with a smile while dragging his suitcase. The Dragon Lady of the Guard Bureau has a high status. It seems that she had not taken office when he came to Longmen before?

And I remember that the sign seemed to mean... Special Inspection Team? In an instant, a tall ghost woman with long green hair appeared in my mind, "That woman seems to be from the Special Inspection Team, right?"

"Oh? Traveling? Name?" Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Drejer... Sir... W-what do you mean by this?"

"It's your first time to Longmen, so why not try the secret pork chop rice of our Longmen Guard Bureau?" Chen smiled kindly, "Mr. De Ruijie, I now announce to you that you are detained for interfering with official duties!"

"Detention...detention?"

"Well, I suspect you are an undercover sent by the Integration Movement... So what are you going to do? Are you going to violently attack the police?" Chen put his hand on the black long knife with a dangerous smile, "Don't worry, we will enforce the law impartially. If not, you can come out tonight."

"Captain Chen...isn't this a bit too much?" Amiya hurried over and tried to persuade Chen.

“Amiya, there’s no need. After all, the innocent will be innocent… and I’m here on vacation. You should follow this Sir Chen… I remember that Doctor Kal’tsit has arrived, right?” Linley tried to comfort the little rabbit. “Do you think I’m right, Sir?”

"Well... you and me, come here and take him to the interrogation room." Chen pointed out two people and ordered loudly, "Push the inspection line forward forty meters, and except for you and the man with the hood, everyone else should stay here to assist in the interrogation."

"If you can't even handle this little thing, then I can't assign you any mission."

......Longmen Guard Bureau interrogation room......

After Lin Lei was brought to the interrogation room by the two police officers from the Imperial Guard, they left him there without asking any questions or seeing anyone there. It was as if this room was the hotel Lin Lei had booked. “That Bao Pilong, he’s really looking for something to do when I have nothing else to do.”

At this time, some movements outside the interrogation room door attracted his attention:

"Xing Sir, you are off work, why are you back again?"

"I was called back by Lao Chen to work overtime, but it doesn't matter. Seeing how hard you guys work overtime, I feel embarrassed to leave work so early." A very calm and slightly low female voice answered helplessly: "Then I'll go in and take a look at the suspect..."

The first thing that caught Lin Lei’s eye was a face that could be described as both beautiful and handsome. The horn on the right side of her head made this woman, who was over 1.8 meters tall, look a bit more sinister.

"It's you?!"

“It’s me,” Linley waved his hand helplessly. “Long time no see… Should I call you Xingxiong?”

"Hmm~ Long time no see." Xingxiong nodded, her waist-length green hair swaying gently as she moved. "I didn't expect that you were arrested by Lao Chen... Let me see what your crime is this time?"

“Oh no…interfering with official business…” Xingxiong looked at Lin Lei with a half-smile, then pushed the pork chop rice in his hand over to him: “Here, this is the pork chop rice that Lao Chen asked me to prepare for you. Here is the key. I know you can break the handcuffs open, but if you can use the key, you should use the key.”

“She actually prepared pork chop rice for me.” Linley didn’t hesitate to untie the handcuffs and took out a pair of chopsticks from the lunch bag and started eating: “Hmm… a little salty, and the pork chop isn’t crispy enough…”

"It's good to have something to eat... or come with me to the barbecue stall later?" Xingxiong blinked: "Should I still call you Deruijie now?"

“Normally, that’s what we call you when we’re on a mission. You can call me Lin Lei.” Lin Lei put down his chopsticks. “But you, a gangster girl back then, actually became a senior superintendent of the Longmen Guards?”

"It sounds like you're not here on a mission?"

“I’m here for vacation. Rhodes Island has granted me a short vacation. I have to relax for a while.” Linley said, crossing his legs on the table. “But you, it seems like being an official is not easy either. You’ve been called back at almost twelve o’clock.”

Xingxiong could only shrug helplessly: "After all, I am in this position, so I have to do things that are consistent with this position... and Lao Chen should still be busy now. She is my boss. How can a subordinate run away while the boss is working?"

"That little girl is actually your leader... Tsk tsk tsk, a ghost sister actually... Stop pinching my face, it hurts..."

"Don't call me that nickname in the police station. Get up and I'll take you to eat some real delicious food from Longmen."

029. Can Xingxiong’s waist be called a bear waist?

“Friend of Xing Sir… please be careful with your words and actions in the future. Commander Chen has been in a bad mood for a long time because of the problems of the Integration Movement.” The police officer who brought Lin Lei over handed him the box.

"Where's my harpoon?"

“Sir, your harpoon is a bit heavy. Please come with us to get it.” The police officer immediately said with shame, which made Xingxiong look at Lin Lei curiously.

"Why did you start using a harpoon? Didn't I remember you used a gun before?"

The man rolled his eyes. "Someone made it for me, I can't not try it... You also said that Longmen has not been peaceful recently, I have to bring something to protect myself."

"Using a harpoon for self-defense? You might as well tell me that you are here to fry fish... By the way, I would like to remind you that frying fish in Longmen... is illegal outside the entire Yan Kingdom." Xingxiong patted his shoulder unhappily: "And how heavy can a harpoon be..."

"Xing Sir, you will know if you go and take a look. Your friend's harpoon is really very heavy..."

Two minutes later, Xingxiong looked at the harpoon and then at Linley: “Is this the harpoon you mentioned? Are you planning to use this to stab Adaklis?”

"Then you might as well say I'm here to fry fish." But to be honest, in Louisiana, this harpoon was originally designed for hunting large animals, and now there is no problem using it to hunt enemies.

"Can I try it?" Xingxiong rubbed his hands, a little eager to try, "I have never tried this type of weapon before."

Linley naturally didn’t care. After all, he and this famous underworld ghost sister from Longmen were close friends. “Whatever. This thing is made of metal, so it’s relatively heavy. If I can’t use it, I’ll have to recycle it.”

“It’s OK, but I feel… not as good as Prajna.” Xingxiong pulled the gun away and turned it around twice before returning it to Linley: “Let’s go.”

....Downstairs of the Longmen Guards Bureau....

Lin Lei was stunned when he saw the electric scooter at the door. “I remember you used to ride a heavy motorcycle. How did you become an electric scooter?”

"I was caught by the traffic police for speeding once before, and my motorcycle is still impounded by the police station, so it's good to have a small electric scooter." Xingxiong got on the scooter directly and patted the back seat: "Come on, I'll take you to taste the best barbecue in Longmen in the past two years."

"What about my suitcase?"

"Put it in front. You've driven an electric car before, haven't you?" Xingxiong's brown eyes sparkled under the light. "The treatment in Rhodes Island is so good?"

After putting the suitcase away, Linley sighed and sat in the back seat of the car, hugging Xingxiong’s waist. “No, I’ve never driven a car before, and I’m not on a field trip most of the time, so there’s no need to fix up the car.”
