The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"Let's go." Kui and Lian both stood up. This was their first time to come into contact with the stronghold of Qilang civilization.

The group got out of the car, walked through the dilapidated streets, and entered the office building accompanied by two black-robed soldiers.

The decoration in the hall was slightly better than outside, but still simple. None of the ethnic architectural features that Perlis had seen in Qilang were there, replaced by randomly painted walls and fluffy carpets.

Led by the soldiers, the group headed for the mayor's office. Along the way, everyone looked at them strangely, but whenever Perlis met their gazes, they immediately looked away.

The people here...seem to know us?

Something is wrong... I have a bad feeling...

Perlis frowned and amplified her senses, always alert to what might happen.

At the same time, Shaya, who was next to Perlis, frowned slightly, and covered her earphones with one hand, as if she heard something.

"..."

After a short walk, the group met the town's leader in the mayor's office.

The mayor looked to be in his seventies. He had a white beard, a thin face with dark cheeks, a long neck, and a very obvious Adam's apple that was trembling.

When the mayor saw the four girls who came to visit, his eyes stayed on Lian's face for a moment, then turned to Shaya and said:

"We did not request any material support."

"The Lord of the Black Tide is about to reach the Great Wall. If we don't send him off, there may be no chance later," Shaya said, "and we need your help."

"help?"

The mayor glanced at Perlis, then at Aoi, and sneered:

"Go ahead."

This old guy doesn't look very friendly...Perlis looked at the mayor's two hands under the table imperceptibly, with vigilance.

At the same time, she saw the name tag on the mayor's desk: Zu Ligui.

"We need to find the Sky Eye Facility Zero," Shaya said directly, "It's in your area. Do you have any impression of it?"

"Facility Zero?"

The mayor glanced out the window and immediately shook his head:

"Have not heard."

"There must be some clues," Shaya asked, "Even if the terrain has changed, you have always lived in this area. How could you not even know a little bit..."

"The Qilang people didn't tell us anything extra, so how could we possibly know?"

The mayor said expressionlessly, tapping his index finger lightly on the table:

"And even if I knew, why would I help you?"

"Hey, uncle, you're being a little unreasonable." Aoi couldn't help but interrupt.

However, as soon as Aoi opened her mouth, the black-robed soldiers guarding the door suddenly gathered around, seeming to be very alert.

Seeing this, Perlis silently began to manipulate the factor flow, ready to start fighting at any time.

At this moment, Shaya's laughter broke the silence:

"Ahahaha, since you said at the beginning that you didn't need the supplies, we'll just take them away. After all, things won't be peaceful later on, so we'll keep them for ourselves."

After saying that, Shaya turned and left, seemingly without any psychological burden at all.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the mayor said:

"There is a netherworld processing plant on the south side of the town. It is polluted, so don't approach it. There have been some black water activities in the big lake on the north side recently, so it is recommended that you stay away from it. The black fog on the east side has been spreading far away recently. If you don't want to disappear, I don't recommend you to approach it. After all..."

Shaya turned her head and saw the mayor's empty eyes:

"...your [Extraditioner] just went in over there and never came out, didn't he?"

The mayor tapped the table with his fingers again, leaned forward slightly, and then adjusted his glasses on his nose:

"Other than that, I have no comment. You can take the supplies if you want. We don't need them."

......

"That guy is really completely unreasonable..."

Once back at the RV, Aoi complained and rubbed the back of her head.

"Can't you just arrest him? Aren't you Qi Lang guilty of obstructing public service?"

"Yuanzhen is hardly under the control of the Qilang government. They have their own power and executive agencies, as well as their own set of laws," Shaya walked to the bar on the car and began to make tea. "We have no way to arrest him, and even if we want to arrest him, there is no specific crime."

"They are not bound by the Qilang government, so why should we send resources?" asked Perlis.

"It's a kind of deal. They provide us with information about the Black Tide herds outside the Great Wall, and we provide them with resources. Many settlements outside the Great Wall are like this."

As Saya spoke, she sprinkled the white dragon's breath into the teapot, and hot steam rose up.

"But to be honest, our Sky Eyes have long been able to detect most threats to the Great Wall, so why do we need their information? In the final analysis, it's just because they are all human beings, and the Qilang government attaches more importance to the continuation of civilization."

This is indeed reasonable. After all, the Academi Federation's "destruction deterrence" against Qilang is based on the premise that "Qilang people care about the continuation of civilization."

But no matter how you look at it, the people in Yuanzhen don't have any sense of belonging to Qi Lang, let alone gratitude to them.

"What should we do next?" Aoi came to the bar and waved her hand over the spout of the teapot. "Should we go straight to the store? Or should we look around the local area?"

"Let's look for information locally. I know some people and I can ask them."

As Saya spoke, she lined out five teacups and began pouring the brewed tea into them.

"If the mayor doesn't want our resources, someone else will definitely want them, right?"

"So you really planned to take the resources away." Perlis was embarrassed.

"Of course. This is a bargaining chip. How can it fall into the hands of an ungrateful person?"

Obviously, Shaya is not a so-called naive person, nor is she likely to restrain herself with perfect morals.

After all, for the wave riders traveling on the Black Tide land, survival is the primary condition.

At this time, it was getting dark and night was about to come.

"You guys sleep in the RV for one night. I'll go find someone," Shaya said. "We'll try to get things done tonight."

"Let me go with you. It's not safe for you to go alone." said Perlis.

"No, no, no, Junbai, I'll go with her," Aoi took a sip of tea and waved her hand, "You, Carly, my sister, understand?"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. Call me if you need anything. Just recite [Pure White Fireworks] in your mind and I can feel it."

"Are you some weird god or something..." Aoi smiled helplessly, "That's right, the mental barrier is still there."

Aoi said, looking at Lian who had been silent since entering Yuanzhen, and handed her the teacup:

"Lianbao, would you like a drink?"

Lian silently took the teacup handed to her by Aoi, took a sip, and choked:

"cough..."

"Don't run around outside at night, okay?" Aoi warned.

"I know... stupid sister..."

Lian said, holding the teacup and walked into her and Aoi's room and closed the door.

"This little guy seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know if he has social phobia because of that ghost mayor."

Aoi shook her head and turned to Saya:

"Well, we should get going. Looks like we'll have to spend the night outside."

"I'll bring tea to Carly." Perlis picked up a cup of tea and walked towards her room.

However, when she passed by Lian's door, she unexpectedly heard the sound of a cup breaking.

Pearlis stood at the door for a while, but ultimately chose not to push it open.

......

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 4)

After entering the room, Perlis and Carly briefly explained everything that had just happened, including the mayor's attitude.

However, she found that the pink-haired otaku girl didn't seem to care much.

"Mmm Good."

Carly continued to tap between the small blue dots calmly, and touched Perlis's head:

"You're so perfunctory!" Perlis leaned forward dissatisfiedly, her forehead touching Carly's, "Now we're at a stalemate!"

"I guessed it a long time ago, idiot."

Carly looked up at Perlis, rubbed the back of Little White Flower's neck, and said:

"While I was setting up surveillance, I also spread out the network. I extended the [Little Bird] network in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast, and scanned the terrain. I should be able to get results in two days at most. What's the point of having that mayor?"

"Two days is too slow. We only have four days left," Perlis sat down next to Carly, "Why didn't you look for it in advance?"

"Because we have to use the big base station in the distant town, idiot," Carly picked up the tea that Perlis brought and moistened her throat. "I did start preparing in advance. I had already guessed that these people who were isolated from society must have a very bad ideology. It's not surprising that they didn't help."

"You are so smart," Perlis said gloomily, "I feel like Lian is a little unhappy."

She remembered the sound of the teacup breaking in Lian's room, and to be honest, she didn't know what to do.

"Animal Lover has been a little emotional these days," Carly said as she sipped her tea, "Maybe it's because we finally made it to the East Continent, but we can't go home."

Yes, the group is now getting farther and farther away from the Great Wall and they don’t know if they can go back.

What's more, if they failed, the [Lord of the Black Tide] would destroy the entire Qilang.

For Aoi and Rei, that meant they could never return to their hometown again.

"In short, we need to conserve our energy and have a good rest," Carly said, "Once we find the Sky Eye Facility Zero, we can put an end to this."

"I hope it's not too late." Pearlis murmured.

"There's no point in thinking too much. Come on! Let's drink while we can!"

As Carly spoke, she extended the teacup to Pearlis and motioned for her to clink glasses.

Perlis was amused, but she still gently touched her teacup to Carly's:

"Where did you learn that? It's not for you."

"This is a poem by Qi Langren. I don't understand it, but the artistic conception is very free and easy. Cheers!"

Carly imitated the heroism of poet Qi Lang, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then looked at Perlis with a smile.

After Pearlis put down the teacup, she pounced and knocked the little white flower onto the bed.

"Come on, little pillow, it's time to go to bed."

"...!"

......

Western Great Wall - Qilang Republic

"You know why I'm calling."

At night, on the Great Wall, Luo Yan walked slowly, with red light flashing in the cracks of his mask.

Rows of black soldiers stood in an orderly manner, heading towards the west of the Great Wall.

On the horizon, a faint light flickered, like a line of pure silver, which was particularly conspicuous in the night.

That was a space crack.

"Please go ahead." Yan Chu said on the other end of the phone.

"We have detected a space rift. According to the distance, it is faster than the main force of the Lord of the Black Tide," Luo Yan said, "which means that an advance team will reach the Western Great Wall first."

"What do you think is the meaning of their doing this?" Yan Chu remained calm.

"It's very simple. The Western Great Wall and the Eastern Great Wall are two completely opposite lines of defense for Qi Lang. If the west is attacked, our troops will definitely consume more resources to resist. When the Eastern Great Wall faces a catastrophe, the defense there will be much weaker."

"In fact, I am planning to do this to increase the defense strength of the Western Great Wall." Yan Chu said.

"Yan Chu, I'm calling you to tell you not to do this," Luo Yan said forcefully, "My [Black Soldiers] and I can defend the Western Great Wall."
