Arknights? Colonization Ark!

After walking out of the hotel and making sure no one was following him, Zhang Miao looked at Yelena helplessly.

He had never expected such a thing to happen.

However, I don't mean to blame Yelena. I just feel helpless about her choice to commit self-harm.

Yelena didn't answer him. She just buried her head and said nothing, staring blankly at the ground. She was in a very depressed mood. She had had this expression since she came out of the hotel.

Zhang Miao saw that she had no reaction and could only help her to move forward. However, Yelena suddenly stopped, with a hint of tears in her voice.

"Am I useless?"

She suddenly asked a question without any context, which made Zhang Miao a little confused.

"Why do you think so suddenly?"

Could this idiot still be struggling over what Tallulah said last time?

"When that guy started to attack, I couldn't stop him no matter what I did. I suddenly felt so useless and couldn't do anything. What if you died?"

Chapter 30: Let’s Eat First

"Do I look like a fool who talks big?"

Zhang Miao fumbled in his arms for a while and pulled out a mechanical device as big as a plate. I really don't know how he put it in there.

However, there were many places where white smoke was coming out, and the source stone in the center had turned into dust, obviously it had been overloaded and burned.

Tsk, it seems that this thing is not practical yet. Wei Yanwu obviously didn't use his full strength, but this thing is almost unstoppable.

This is a shield technology he made based on the Originium force field. Compared with the deflection position, it is more similar to the Originium technique. It can form a repulsive force field that is invisible to the naked eye, but it is only effective against physical impact.

But this is just an experiment and is still very immature.

But even if it can't block it, there is a layer of close-fitting personal shield inside. If Wei Yanwu can break both of these things with one sword, then he can take a knife and chop all the way from Longmen East Road to the capital of Ursus, and his hands won't feel sore after ten rounds.

But this scene was a different story in Yelena's eyes.

She looked at what Zhang Miao was holding and thought about what had just happened.

“You…”

Zhang Miao took the thing in his hand and turned it towards her

"Something that can save your life."

This was not what Yelena wanted to ask, because Zhang Miao was fearless in the face of Wei Yanwu's attack, and the thing he suddenly took out reminded her of the time when they first met. The other party seemed to have been hit by a source stone explosive, and she cried out of worry at that time.

But Wei Yanwu's attack just now was much more threatening than that Originium explosive, but he didn't even move, and he was wearing a power armor at that time, how could he be blown away and smash a wall!

"Sure enough! You did it on purpose that time, right?"

?

"what are you talking about?"

Zhang Miao didn't understand why the other party, who had just looked aggrieved, suddenly came to accuse him.

This woman's thinking is a bit too jumpy.

"No...it's nothing."

Yelena felt that she had no right to question the other party, as she seemed to have just ruined the other party's plan.

Thinking of this, she became sad again.

She can neither learn nor fight, is her future destined to be a parasite? ? ? ?

Don’t do that kind of thing.

"If you have nothing to do, wipe your face quickly. I'm almost starving after running all day. I didn't eat a single bite of the food just now. Let's go have a midnight snack while Longmen Night Market is at its busiest."

"Oh."

Yelena wiped away her tears with her hands. There was nothing wrong with being a parasite.

......

"Wei Gong."

After Zhang Miao and the other person walked out of the hotel, the men in black who were originally guarding the door immediately walked in and stood respectfully behind Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu was silently looking at the pitch-black building in the distance, somewhat absent-minded.

After a moment's silence, he picked up the extinguished pipe, relit it and took a deep breath.

The exhaled white smoke quickly dissipated into the air.

At this moment, there was no trace of viciousness on his face. His expression was calm, as if what happened before was just an illusion, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Take your men to the northern border of Ursus to find a designated city. After finding out the situation there, come back immediately. This operation must be kept secret. Do not disclose it to anyone before you come back and report to me."

"Yes."

"By the way, pay attention to the movements of the Ursus army along the way, and come back immediately if there is any unusual movement."

"Yes."

These are old soldiers who have been with him all the way. They come from the military, and although they are not as good as the shadow guards, they can still act as scouts and gather intelligence.

After everyone behind him left, he knocked on the window again with his pipe in his hand.

He just didn't expect that a dragon would come from across the river. However, it was wishful thinking to think that he could do whatever he wanted and cause trouble in his dragon gate.

"Keep an eye on them, and take action immediately if they step out of line."

As he finished speaking, there were several noises in the darkness outside the window, like branches swaying, and then silence fell again.

next door

"It seems like they just had a fight."

Shi Huaiya pressed her whole body against the wall, trying to hear clearly what was happening next door, but unfortunately, the soundproofing effect of her own hotel was too good. Even with only a wall between them, it was difficult to hear clearly the conversation on the other side.

She only heard Wei Yanwu shout something like "crossing the line" or something.

"But why didn't you hear anything?"

In the room, there were two other people besides her.

Chen Huijie did not stick her whole body to the wall like her. She just sat with her back against the wall, closed her eyes and listened carefully to the movements on the opposite side. She was better than Shi Huaiya. She had trained her hearing, so she could hear a few more words than Shi Huaiya.

Xingxiong sat on a chair with her head supported by her hands, watching the two of them eavesdropping. If it were someone else, she would have handcuffed the two of them and taken them away by now.

咚

咚

咚

The sudden knock on the door startled Shi Huaiya, who was concentrating all her attention on her ears, and the hair on her ears all stood up.

"Who!"

Didn’t I tell you not to disturb them?

She walked over angrily and opened the door, wanting to see who dared to disobey the orders of her boss's daughter.

Forehead...

Looking at Wei Yanwu holding three glasses of lemonade in his hands, Shi Huaiya could only smile awkwardly.

"What a coincidence, Lord Wei, I didn't expect you to be eating next door. Our Guards Bureau is having a dinner party."

Wei Yanwu looked at the daughter of his old friend in front of him, and he knew who was in the room without even having to think about it.

"Take it, this is charged to my account."

Azhe.....

It turns out that they have been listening here for so long and know everything about the other side. No wonder they didn't say anything valuable.

hateful!

"Thank you very much, Master Wei."

Shi Huaiya took the three glasses of lemonade from the other person with a smile on her face, but in her heart she begged Wei Yanwu to leave quickly.

"Tell Superintendent Chen that I hope she can think more before doing anything in the future, just like she did today."

"Okay, Lord Wei, I will tell Superintendent Chen the truth. Goodbye, Lord Wei."

Shi Huaiya's professional smile almost made her face stiff. Fortunately, Wei Yanwu did not stay any longer and left soon.

huh~~

"You idiot! You owe me one more time."

After sending Wei Yanwu away, Shi Huaiya immediately turned around and walked back into the room, throwing the water in his hand on the table.

Xingxiong was not polite at all. He immediately picked up a cup and started drinking. He followed the two of them over, but didn't say anything. He just eavesdropped on the conversation next door. He checked into a room but not even a single dish was served. He had just returned from duty and was almost starving.

"What on earth are you two doing in such a mysterious way?"

Chen Huijie, who was originally sitting on the floor, also came over and took a cup.

"I think it's necessary to follow that guy. Judging from their conversation, he's definitely a dangerous person."

"Can we have a meal first?"

Xingxiong said that her physical fitness was not supported by air, and these two guys really didn't consider her at all.

Chapter 31: The night is all about eating skewers!

The night market in Longmen is just as bustling as the daytime.

The street stalls, food stalls and barbecue stalls give off a lively atmosphere that cannot be seen during the day.

The two walked on the street and did not go to those big restaurants to eat. Firstly, it was troublesome as they had to wait for the food, unlike outside where they could eat and buy food as they please. Secondly, the variety of food was not necessarily more than that on the street.

Apart from the two of them, other people were also eating, drinking and having fun around here.

"Boss, give me ten skewers of barbecue."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Watching the grease sizzling on the grill pan and the smoke rising up, Yelena's eyes were fixed on the roasted meat rolling on it, and she completely forgot that she had just become an infected person again.

Zhang Miao sat on a non-biodegradable plastic chair from a food stall, almost holding a sword from the ward.

Looking at the bustling and noisy crowd around him and the slightly dirty and messy environment, such a scene was also a novel experience for him.

When Yelena finished ordering and sat back down, Zhang Miao asked curiously:

"How do you feel about Longmen?"

Because the demand for money is relatively low and classes are basically spent in the evening, even on weekends, everyone is studying overtime, so Xuefeng does not have such a lively night market.

“It’s a very unique city with lots of food and it’s very lively.”

"That's for sure. Merchants and travelers from most countries gather here. One is to meet their needs, and the other is to earn their money. Therefore, Longmen can be said to be the most diverse city in Terra. It covers everything from catering to entertainment industries, and the logistics are well developed. This is why I chose to come here."

"But I still don't quite understand why we are here?"

Their demand for Originium is very low. From materials to energy, their dependence on Originium is basically zero. There are better alternatives, and all materials can meet their needs. They are better and cheaper than others, so it is difficult for outside things to attract them.

"I'll tell you later. Now let's eat the meat."

......

"Fuck, what are they talking about?"

Not far from Zhang Miao and his group, three suspicious men wearing sunglasses and baseball caps gathered around a table, and from time to time they glanced at the two people who were eating meat.

"I heard it all. They were talking about eating meat."

Xingxiong looked at the bowl of fried rice noodles on his table, and then looked at the big skewers of meat on the table of others, and he was furious.

"Hey, are you kidding me? You asked me to work with you guys, and you treat me to fried rice noodles?"

Chen's face turned slightly red. This month's salary had not been paid yet, and last month's salary had all been used to support the slums.

"Fried rice noodles, so what? I'll treat you next time."

Xingxiong rolled his eyes and thought it would be better to treat her to a meal in the cafeteria next time. He simply stood up and went to order the food by himself. These two guys were so mysterious. They didn't say what they were going to do when they came out, and they insisted on dragging him along.
