Arknights, are you a good person?

Qi Yuan also nodded solemnly: "This time it will definitely happen."

Laplander smiled, turning a deaf ear to Texas's serious accusations.

After saying goodbye, the jeep sped away. Texas stood at the door of the Exit-Entry Office, watching the jeep go farther and farther away, until the will-o'-the-wisp appeared and it instantly accelerated to the speed of a meteor. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, let's go back and deliver the goods." The Archangel stretched and swung his arms boredly.

"Look at the bright side. With Qi Yuan's level and ability, plus the simplicity of the mission, and taking into account the time spent on the road, he may be back in three days." Croissant also nodded.

"Ah."

Texas carried the boxes to the roof of Croissant's car.

Every time she stood up, she couldn't help but look back, and then turned around quickly. The scenery in her eyes seemed to be always an empty desert.

I don’t know what kind of weird things Lappland and Qi Yuan can come up with.

"Alas, Lapland."

Texas thought about the relevant issues and shook his ears vigorously.

-------------------------------------

The jeep with ghost lights was speeding at lightning speed. The scenery outside the window swept backwards rapidly like a line, but Qi Yuan did not feel excited at all and kept trying to twist the steering wheel.

The steering wheel seemed to be welded shut and could not be turned at all. The jeep flew forward in a straight line like a flying sword.

I still haven’t learned Scarlet Sky: Absolute Shadow.

It has been switched to dual-core drive, and one of the puppets temporarily put down his boxing skills and practiced swordsmanship together. But the puppet's diligence was a little slow in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"Come on!"

347: Cook Lapland (3 more)

Qi Yuan was silently sighing that time was passing too slowly. Wu Lian pressed against the car window, his pupils moving rapidly, trying to capture the scenery outside the window, but he soon felt dizzy and gave up.

Lapland looked around carefully, touching the seat from time to time, feeling extremely familiar.

Once upon a time, she had also stood behind a jeep, watching Texas sitting in the jeep, being taken away by Qi Yuan, and she could only eat the exhaust gas. She really didn't expect that the situation would change, and this time she was the one sitting in the back seat of the jeep.

"Can Texas do it?" Lappland smiled, without showing off at all.

"At this speed, going in a straight line, we can reach Syracuse in about two days."

Laplander commented.

Although he had seen Qi Yuan's car speed, the experience of sitting in it was completely different. Lapland did not expect that he would not feel any bumps while sitting in it. It was more stable than any liquid source stone engine on the market.

She wanted more and more to experience the feeling of driving this jeep.

Unfortunately, only in Qi Yuan's hands does this car show such strange characteristics.

In her hands, it was just an ordinary 12-cylinder off-road jeep.

When wandering in Lappland, he liked to hitchhike in those large Beetle station wagons that traveled across the wilderness. They were equipped with all the necessary living facilities, but their disadvantage was that they were slow and the journey was usually measured in weeks.

The general process is - climb onto the train, enter the first-class carriage, use the weird feeling and dangerous atmosphere to force people to submit, and then eat and drink for free.

"Two days...it went by faster than I thought." Lapland muttered to himself thoughtfully.

The jeep drove forward for a while, the sun gradually shifted its angle, and at noon, Wu Lian's stomach started to growl. She blinked and tentatively asked Qi Yuan:

"Mr. Qi Yuan, can you give me a pack of Pocky? I want the ones with chocolate filling."

This is wanting to be a bad boy.

Although she really wanted to eat the gray snack that Qi Yuan took out that time, Lappland's appearance really scared Wu Lian, and she didn't dare to ask for it.

Qi Yuan shook his head. Before he could say no, Lappland took the lead in rejecting Wu Lian: "I got some fresh ingredients from Rhodes Island."

"Ok?"

Qi Yuan turned around in surprise and asked with a strange look in his eyes: "Lappland, your cook character is actually real?"

Lapland immediately stated that she would never cook for Qi Yuan.

Unless Qi Yuan gives the order.

-------------------------------------

At noon, the water sparkles beside an unpolluted lake.

Laplander is cooking.

The extremely thinly sliced ​​salami is wrapped in cut white bread, with crisp lettuce mixed with diced raw tomatoes and a slice of cheese, which tastes refreshing.

“It tastes really good.”

Qi Yuan tasted the appetizer with a surprised look on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Lappland, I order you to make another one for me to try."

"Yes."

Lappland felt extremely humiliated and handed over the new dish that had been prepared long ago - sliced ​​honeydew melon.

The main course was lasagna with tomato meat sauce. Lapland set up an earthen oven from scratch with great skill. It seemed that this was not his first time to survive in the wilderness.

"If Ceobe had met you first, she probably wouldn't have followed me so wholeheartedly."

Qi Yuan sniffed the fragrant aroma and commented with emotion.

Back then, what he used to abduct Ceobe was nothing more than Magellan's dry food, which was at best just self-heating food, and was no match for Lapland's freshly made food.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan's eyes fixed, and he said firmly: "Lappland, I order you to use less smoked paprika."

Lapland paused, his expression changing slightly.

"Yes……"

This time, Lappland answered very reluctantly. It seemed that the countless orders before were not as humiliating as this one.

Lappland seemed to have used a lot of strength to resist, but ultimately failed to disobey Qi Yuan's orders.

"I really can't do anything about you... Sir Qi Yuan, then it's as you wish."

Laplander gave up the idea of ​​adding chili powder.

After a while, she lightly touched the hilt of the sword with her fingers, and a bright light flashed, and the top of the disposable oven was instantly cut off, and the lasagna was successfully baked.

A mellow aroma wafted into his nose. Bright red tomato meat sauce was sandwiched between the milky white dough, with cheese in the middle, layer upon layer. Lapland closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slashed downward with the sword, dividing the lasagna into three portions.

Wu Lian was a child, so she got the smallest share.

Lappland also prepared a spoon for Qi Yuan. Looking at Qi Yuan eating the food one spoonful at a time, she nodded with satisfaction.

Qi Yuan's evaluation also benefited Lapland a lot.

"It tastes good, and there are no bombs or blades hidden in it, not bad."

"Of course," Lapland replied.

For the next two days, Lappland was responsible for preparing three meals a day for the group, of course, all under Qi Yuan's orders, and then she had to do the job of a cook in an extremely humiliating way.

Have a Syracuse-style cold breakfast in the morning.

For lunch, we had noodles with meat sauce or meatballs, which we rolled up with a fork under Laplander's guidance.

In the evening there is a big meal with various grilled foods.

Traditional Margherita thin crust pizza, traditional lasagna… the list goes on.

Qi Yuan suddenly said he wanted to eat fruit pizza. This was the first time, and probably the last time, that Lappland successfully disobeyed Qi Yuan's orders.

"Gu, kill me."

Laplande's response to the fruit pizza was so huge.

-------------------------------------

Two days later.

The jeep stopped speeding, and houses began to appear around them. The density of buildings gradually increased, indicating that they were getting closer to the urban area of ​​Syracuse.

The city of Syracuse is different from other places.

The number of mobile cities here is zero, so there are no natural walls. They can come here unnoticed and leave quietly without taking away a cloud.

“Very backward, isn’t it?”

Lappland shook his head slightly. "The only mobile city is still under construction. Struggling here is like rolling in the mud. It's full of people who are far behind but don't know it yet."

As soon as she arrived at her hometown, she immediately began to reminisce, and a clear feeling of pain arose.

Qi Yuan didn't respond to her question. He turned around and asked Wu Lian patiently, "Is that your hometown? You have lived in a haunted house since you were a child."

He pointed to an island in the middle of the lake ahead. It was shrouded in mist and the pointed bell tower was faintly visible in the fog.

Gothic horror emerges spontaneously.

348: I have done you a favor by not killing you

Since there are no mobile cities, the houses in Syracuse are generally not tall. It is rare to see skyscrapers like the ones that can be seen everywhere in Syracuse, and almost every household has a cellar.

The tallest building is probably the courthouse, which makes it seem as if Syracuse respects the law very much.

The jeep drove forward and Qi Yuan observed all the way.

"Whenever a natural disaster struck, the Syracusans would hide their entire families in cellars, together with piles of food and their cars. That's probably how families slowly emerged," Lapland said, listing them all like an excellent tour guide.

"Isn't it ironic?"

She turned around and winked gently at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan nodded and agreed: "Are you trying to say that the things that allowed people to survive in the past have begun to decay day by day as time goes by?"

"You can read minds." Lapland exclaimed in admiration, twisting the steering wheel sharply and drifting past the car in front.

"Of course, not everything is bad in Syracuse."

When Laplande is not crazy, she is a philosopher. Ultimately, she is aware of her situation and lives in sober pain.

To be able to know all the details about the causes of a family's success must have been the result of long-term thinking.

Sadly realizing that she couldn't resist, she chose to give in.

Children don’t have such worries. Wu Lian sniffed and only felt that the air in Syracuse was filled with the smell of tomatoes, but no rotten or smelly smell.

She raised her head and looked at Qi Yuan in confusion.

"It expresses the author's homesickness." Qi Yuan touched Wu Lian's big ears and said casually.

"Homesick?"

"Wanting to burn my hometown to ashes is also a kind of homesickness."

Qi Yuan couldn't help himself and reached out to rub Wu Lian's big ears. The young Wolper's ears were big and soft, his tail was fluffy, and there was a faint fragrance. It was indeed more comfortable to touch than the average Pelo.

As expected of a fox race.

The Wolper tribe also has a fantasy species that has nine tails. One tail is so comfortable, but nine tails... Qi Yuan simply couldn't imagine it.

With the tail in mind, they reached their destination.

Lapland drifted to a stop, and as soon as the door was opened, the sound of surging tides and humid air hit me in the face.

Looking ahead, you can see a vast lake with no end in sight.

The lake water is a dark deep blue, as if there is a water monster hidden in it. The swaying suspension bridge is the only passage. Standing by the lake, you can see the spires of the Gothic buildings, all in darkness.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to be from a wealthy family." Qi Yuan sighed and touched Wu Lian again.

A large lake, an island, and the only access is a suspension bridge.

Living in such a Cthulhu environment, he could only think of a god that would bring bad luck to people. I can only say that Wu Lian is a kind-hearted child.

Wu Lian: “…”

She put on a sour face and her fox ears twitched slightly.
