Arknights? Colonization Ark!

"You are a smart person. To be honest, you disguised yourself very well. Even I was almost fooled by you."

"Humph."

She didn't think this was a compliment. Once she was exposed, she was exposed.

“How’s it been like living here for two months?”

"So-so."

After spending some time here, no matter how stupid she was, she knew what these things meant.

And these were what Zhang Miao took out. Who knows how many more things are hidden at the bottom of the box?

The fact that he came directly to me and called out Kosice's name meant that he already had enough knowledge about Black Snake and there was no point in continuing to be stubborn.

"I will not betray him."

No matter what, it was the old man who saved my life.

"I didn't ask you to betray Kosice. I just asked you to pass on a message after completing the task I assigned you. To say it's betrayal is a bit too much. I believe Kosice wouldn't mind having his subordinate do an extra part-time job, just like I wouldn't mind either."

The unexpected answer silenced Balalaika.

"Why do you think I will agree to you?"

"Of course you can refuse, after all, this job is not necessary for me, but you..."

"What? Bury me in here?"

"Don't think of me as a murderer. You will work diligently for me here for the rest of your life, and your former boss may put you on the death list because he hasn't heard from you for a long time. Of course, maybe you will meet here again in the future."

"That doesn't sound like a threat."

"I never like to threaten people."

"What about him? Don't say you only found me."

"That gentleman is indeed a man of courage."

No one can stop someone who really wants to commit suicide, and Zhang Miao was too lazy to waste any more words, so he just took him to see the late emperor.

Balalaika would not feel the slightest bit sad about the death of his colleague. This is how it is for people in this line of work. It's not that they are cold-blooded, but that they are used to it.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that I won't admit it and will sell the information to Kosice?"

"Then please be sure to speak more carefully."

Zhang Miao looked at the balalaika still lying on the ground and stretched out his right hand.

"So, are you ready for a new job?"

New job…

Ha ha

Balalaika touched his left arm, which was now intact, and looked towards the direction of the palace with sympathy.

These people are like puppets on the stage. They think they are superior, but in fact they are just playthings of the audience below the stage.

Chapter 48: Skadi the Killer Whale

After setting out from Longmen, Zhang Miao drove all the way south to Kazdel.

But this time was different from when they came. Compared to the large and small trucks when they entered Longmen, there was only a small armored vehicle when they came out, and there were only him and Yelena and some equipment in the car.

According to the time, there is still a lot of room left, and they could stay in Longmen for a while. However, since Zhang Miao has already taken the building and promised Wei Yanwu not to cause trouble in Longmen, it is not a good idea for her to stay any longer.

After all, he is here to do business, not to mess things up.

Moreover, the company has been officially operating and has established contact with Xueyuan. With the help of Chen Huijie, it has also hired a former senior superintendent of the Imperial Guard Bureau as a legal adviser, which can be regarded as giving face to Wei Yanwu.

If he continued to stay in Longmen, not to mention that it might cause bloodshed in the city, the unrest alone would cause Longmen's financial status to decline, which would not be worth it for him.

Because when someone is punched in public, the first thing they think about is how to fight back, especially when they have been kicked out of the goal, they will only become more unscrupulous. This is why Wei Yanwu has never wanted to make a big deal out of it.

The rear wheels rolled over the land, raising gusts of dust. The car stereo was playing melodious music, a song that Terra did not have. Speaking of which, he had quite a lot of literary works of his own. Although the style of the interstellar era might not be suitable for the natives of Terra, it was more than enough for him to be a plagiarist.

Zhang Miao has a very pessimistic attitude towards the local artistic level in Terra.

The Emperor's rock music level is okay, but the local film and television level in Longmen can only be described as a bunch of mediocre. The overall level is still at the level of drama, the lines and movements are rigid, and the scenery is simple. Especially when he watched the low-budget martial arts film "The Boy with the Broken Arm in Liberia and Master Drake" directed by a young director, he really wanted to knock the other person's head open to see what was inside.

As long as Zhang Miao uses a little computing power, he can shoot a special effects movie right away without any actors. The script is ready-made. It's called "Sharknado".

This is a series that has stood the test of time.

"That group of people are still following behind us, and they don't seem to have any intention of getting closer."

Yelena's voice brought him back to reality from his artistic fantasy. He glanced at the radar and saw a group of small red dots hanging at the limit of his field of vision ever since they left the gantry.

It goes without saying that you know who these people are.

The other party was quite cautious and just stayed far behind with no intention of approaching. There were clearly more than a dozen armored off-road vehicles of various types, and even though they were already far away from Gantry, they still did not take action.

Probably waiting for something.

But it doesn't matter to him, he just treats it as a little fun during the trip.

At this time, in the rear carriage, the accompanying logistics personnel were looking at the radar screen in front of them with sad faces, which showed nothing.

"It shouldn't be."

This is one of their latest products. It was originally a microwave detection radar used to be equipped on drones, but it was brought out this time to ensure the smooth operation.

But now what is displayed above is that there is nothing in front of them, and what they see with their naked eyes is just an illusion.

"There is nothing wrong with the radar. It may be that they have a special stealth coating on their car that makes the radar inoperative."

The team leader looked speechlessly at the latest product that the technical department had promised him before departure, only to see it being ruthlessly cracked upon its first appearance. Sure enough, after returning, he applied to deduct these guys' year-end bonuses.

If we hadn't followed the tire tracks along the way, we would have been almost left behind by the other party several times.

"Boss, if it's you, I'd say just charge ahead. With so many people, one shot from each of them would be enough to turn that car into a hedgehog. There's no need to waste time."

The people around were already getting a little impatient; they were all professional cleaners in the company and had never been so timid before.

The team leader leaned out of the sunroof of the vehicle, looked at the small black dot in front of him through a telescope, and muttered to himself:

"Okay, but remember to buy an accident insurance policy before you rush over, and write my name as the beneficiary."

His words brought a burst of cheerfulness into the somewhat dull carriage, and even the person who complained couldn't help but laugh.

Are you kidding me? Hundreds of people in the city died in unclear reasons. Are you rushing forward like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?

Even though they are equipped with a lot of heavy firepower that cannot be used in the city, it is always better to be cautious and follow the plan.

This time they also spent a lot of money to hire a number of mercenary groups, including the killer whale who has recently become famous and nicknamed the ultimate killer king.

All together, there are at least five or six hundred people, and with the equipment they provide, this number is enough for a skirmish.

If they lose all this, then why are they still mercenaries, and why are the other party still company bosses? Wouldn't it be better for them to just find a country to be the emperor? Why would they need to work so hard to run business?

As the two sides drove forward one after the other across the wilderness, Zhang Miao's car was heading towards the designated ambush point just as they had expected.

Although I don't know why the other party revealed at the press conference that they would go to Kazdel to open up a trade route, it now seems that they did not lie, because this road is the only way to get to Kazdel. If you go in other directions, you will have to go a long way to find a supply town.

Go to Kazdel to open up the trade route, haha, it's so funny.

What goods are being imported there?

A cadaver teacher?

According to the path on the map, there is a corridor with cliffs on both sides not far ahead. After passing this corridor is an abandoned town. It used to be a Sarkaz fortress many years ago, but after several major wars, it became a ruin without a law.

For the convenience of people coming and going, a small black market has gradually formed here. The Sarkaz act as mercenaries or robbers here, and some of the contraband robbed on the road will be sold here. Sometimes you can even see slave trade.

Generally, caravans passing through this place for supplies will hire a group of local mercenaries or pay a toll to the local tyrants to ensure their safety.

No matter what, when Sarkaz chooses to be a mercenary, his credibility is worth protecting.

This corridor was where they had ambushed in advance. Mercenary groups of all sizes had set up a large number of Originium traps on both sides of the cliff and around the corridor.

They will definitely not let their employers down.

The most eye-catching person was the white-haired Agor man who was standing alone at the exit with a two-handed sword hanging on his arm.

The other party had just been wandering around here for a short time, but he had already killed more than a dozen waves of foolish robbers in the past few days. It can be said that he was notorious.

Especially those indifferent eyes, which made everyone who saw them wonder if this guy was an emotionless killing machine.

Not long after, their target finally drove into the tunnel with a cloud of dust.

Chapter 49: Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!

Under the gaze of hundreds and thousands of eyes, the vehicle slowly slowed down after entering the corridor.

Finally, when I had gone one-third of the distance, the tires stopped spinning instantly as I braked.

At this time, the only sound in the corridor disappeared, and the entire environment was terribly quiet. Even the air seemed to be solidified by some invisible force.

"Stay in the car, the scenes that follow are pornographic."

Yelena nodded. She knew that now was not the time to act stubbornly. In such a small space, she would only cause trouble if she went out.

As the protective steel plates of the car windows rise, the entire interior of the car falls into darkness, but if necessary, the outside world can still be obtained through projection, which is even clearer than what can be seen with the naked eye.

Armored vehicle rear door open

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an iron foot stepped out.

He only brought one set of equipment with him on this long journey, but it didn't make any difference. Knowing that he was being followed, he changed into his equipment early.

And do you really think he has no temper at all?

When I woke up, I found myself in a foreign land with no news from my hometown.

After finding Longmen and asking the emperor, they found out that none of their compatriots were left.

I originally thought I would hold it in until Kazdel vents his anger, but since someone is so eager to die, it wouldn't hurt to collect a little interest first.

Zhang Miao looked around, but there was nothing in sight.

These people hid very well, and they still did not come out after they found that Zhang Miao's car had stopped.

But when switching to the thermal vision device, one can see densely packed orange-red figures on both sides of the cliff. There are more than two hundred Originium Warlocks alone, and there appear to be a large number of siege crossbows and howitzers.

However, this silence did not last long. At the rear entrance, the vehicles that had been following behind quickly blocked the intersection.

It was not until this time that the sound of explosions and rubble was heard at the exit.

The people on the bus didn't talk too much. About a hundred or eighty people filed out of the bus, wearing uniform uniforms and equipped with sophisticated equipment.

The heavily armored soldiers in front held large shields, and the several Originium cannons on the chariots behind them were all aimed. In addition, there were countless powerful bows and crossbows.

The team leader was sitting in the car, looking at Zhang Miao standing there through the drone camera in mid-air, with indescribable heat in his eyes.

More than one company in Columbia is researching power armor, but they are all ugly prototypes that even look stupid when they move.

Look at others!

With its red and white exterior and pure metal shell, it gives people an unstoppable feeling just by standing there.

Pity.

If the other party came out unarmed, he might have said a few polite words, but the other party's attire clearly showed that he refused to negotiate.

hum!

A vehicle-mounted crossbow that was three fingers thick fired first. The powerful armor-piercing arrow was specially designed to deal with armor plates, and it was no problem for it to penetrate conventional defenses head-on.

Bang!

I got it right, but not completely.

One hand tightly grasped the arrow shaft and stopped instantly. The powerful inertial potential energy even made the highly resilient arrow body whimper.

This shocking scene was tantamount to an order to fire in the eyes of everyone.

A barrage of crossbow arrows and grenades swarmed in from the top of the cliff and from the front and back of the passage. Even an iron man standing still would be shot into a hedgehog and then blown into pieces on the spot.

But the red figure disappeared without even staying there for a moment.

The ground and armored vehicle where he was standing were engulfed in the dark bombing, and the huge smoke and dust obscured everyone's vision.
