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

Page 101

And Filin, who was holding an electric drill and had a sunny expression, scratched his hair and said, "Miss Commander, everyone can say harsh words... but you won't have any reinforcements here. I know you must have some backup plan, but we are locals here, and we are much more familiar with this than you."

"Really?" The King of Propulsion raised her eyebrows while holding the hammer. Although she had not been to such a place for a while, she was still very clear that this place was the "blood vessel" of Londinium, and the sound of vehicles whizzing overhead from time to time reminded her all the time that this was under a certain station.

And the only remaining Aslan was now looking around with a warhammer in his hand. Although it was not clear, she could still feel that there was not only one drone around, but also that the 'kidnapper' also had his own companions.

However, in the girl's perception, there was another existence approaching rapidly - she could not feel the breath of that person, but the previous contact still left a very deep impression on the King of Advancement.

She knew very well that the elite operator's role in this mission was merely the Doctor's bodyguard, and now the Doctor looked so confident that it could only be that the man was coming soon!

"We have already arrived inside Londinium, right?" Vina's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make the young man in Filin look extremely panicked: "You...you...how did you know?"

“Haha.” The girl pointed to her face and said, “I’m a local like you.”

It was not known whether it was the young man's illusion, but when the pretty and heroic girl Filin heard the word "local", she emphasized her tone, "Besides, what she said is true. If you don't let her go now, both you, the little girl hiding in the shadows, and the forces behind you will suffer."

Just when this man called 'Fester' was about to say something harsh, something cold and hard pressed against the back of his head, and a blood-red dagger appeared on his neck.

"Let's talk, what do you want to do with our Doctor?"

064. Self-rescue Army

"Let's talk, what do you want to do with our Doctor?"

The man's voice could be described as cold, but what really frightened Fester was the knife that was already against his throat: "What... When, when did you get behind me?"

"Why do you all like to ask such meaningless questions?" The man's voice was like the god of death in the underworld: "Since you have no murderous intentions or malicious intent, I will give you the right to explain."

Then, in the field of vision of this young man, clusters of ice crystals grew little by little in front of him, and the extremely sharp ice crystal spikes were like terrifying spear tips pointing at him.

"Let your companion come out, otherwise I can't guarantee her safety." The doctor's voice was as calm as ever, although the drone attached to the back of her head hurt a little. "Also, I think you should have seen that we have no ill intentions, so why not be generous and tell us what you want to do and what your true intentions are."

"Just like Deep Pool often has conflicts with the Sarkaz, we will not be friends with either of them. The same applies to you." Fester gritted his teeth. For the first time, he felt that the god of death was so close to him. "What is your purpose in coming to Londinium!"

"We are from the Lentinium Citizens' Self-Defense Army. His name is Fester and mine is Lolo."

While Fester was still being stubborn, the girl hiding in the dark came out openly with her drone swarm, but these drones showed no signs of firing: "We come with good intentions, can you please let him go?"

The black-haired, golden-eyed girl spread her hands toward the people of Rhodes Island and said, "It's your turn now. Otherwise, I don't mind killing my relatives for the sake of justice."

"Hey, hey, hey, Lolo, don't do anything rash! If you really do that, I'll be dead!" Fester shouted in panic, and at this time the doctor nodded behind Fester:

"Lin...cough cough cough, Drjie, let him go!"

Before Jane finished speaking, Fester felt his body lighten. Both the thick and hard pole and the dagger on his throat had disappeared, and behind the hooded man appeared a man who had never appeared in the melee before.

“You came back much faster than I thought.” The doctor’s voice was very soft, and her body almost subconsciously leaned against Lin Lei’s: “You went to the top of the high wall?”

“Well, it’s easier to get through the sewer pipe than to climb the wall, so I came here faster.” Linley’s voice was quite relaxed, and the dagger that had just been stuck in Fester’s throat was jumping back and forth at his fingertips:

"Self-rescue army, interesting. Can I assume that the entire Londinium has been completely destroyed?"

"Except for the Sadien District, that's basically the case." The girl named Luo Luo answered very honestly, "Fester doesn't speak human language very well, so can I ask where you were before and how you got here?"

“Since you can tell that this hooded lady is our commander, you should know that she has something like a signal receiver on her.” Linley shrugged. Compared to this sunny-looking boy, this pretty girl was more to his liking.

After all, who wouldn't want to talk to such a pretty girl? Even the crazy Mandela made an exception and chatted with her for a few more words.

"As for where I am... that's a question worth discussing." The hunter had a strange smile on his face: "After all, the walls are full of Sarkaz people, so I can't say whether this area is still considered your... area that still survives and belongs to Victoria."

"The terrain and human traffic here are quite chaotic. If the Sarkaz want to control every breathing space above and below the ground, they will have to measure it with their own feet for several years." Fester whispered, "At least we are still resisting, and this is our last stronghold."

"It sounds really miserable." Klosher, who was standing at the back, smacked her lips. "So you hope we can give you a hand?"

“After all, you helped a lot of people during the riot just now... ahem, didn’t you?” Fester’s expression was a little awkward: “So we wanted to try to get in touch with you.”

"So the way to contact is to threaten us with drones?" Amiya said coldly: "There is no bomb on your drone, Mr. Fester, but you can't just let your threat to us go."

"Uh, what should I say then?"

"You should apologize to Miss Carters, Fester." Lolo said bluntly. Even though this young man was her superior in a sense, in a place that was not even considered a regular army, the level of status was often not so obvious.

"You should have figured it out. Although the hooded lady is the commander, the real leader is still Miss Carters." The girl continued to babble, and Fester bowed ninety degrees without hesitation: "I'm sorry for what I did just now."

“If an apology is useful, there will be no need for compensation.” Linley spoke slowly, his eyes silently meeting Lolo’s. Black and red electric currents flowed between them, while the pressure of psychic energy was silently concentrated on the girl.

Not surprisingly, Luo Luo's face turned pale, and at this time Amiya hurriedly said: "Mr. Drijer, stop it... Not only do they need help, we also need some help from the 'locals'!"

The girl naturally took on the role of the good guy at this time, and Linley, who was the bad guy, immediately withdrew his spiritual power: “I’ll do as you say.”

"Ms. Lolo, and Mr. Fester, right?" Amiya stepped forward, and the girl stood side by side with the doctor. Her lake-blue eyes were filled with determination. "We want to talk to your leader or the person who can really take charge... as an equal! After all, this was your original plan!"

"No problem." Lolo looked at Amiya with a little gratitude and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Hey Lolo, I'm the captain, are you overstepping your authority?" Fester said as he trotted to the side of the film girl - the man standing behind the hooded lady was really too scary, so it was better to stay away from him.

065. Unicorn

When the group from Rhodes Island followed Fester and Lolo in front of them through a series of dark and damp tunnels to arrive at the current self-rescue army camp, they were stopped by a fully armed soldier as expected - if people who hold weapons and have undergone a certain degree of training can be considered soldiers.

"Old Bill, are you on guard today?"

"Fester, didn't you go on a mission with Luo Luo? Why did I see she came back first?"

The warrior's voice can be described as rough, and in his hand is a baseball bat - in many cases, this instrument with an excellent feel and extremely suitable for crushing skulls is the first choice of resistance organizations and revolutionary armies.

"Lolo went over to inform the commander in advance." Fester scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I brought someone the commander might have been waiting for."

"What the commander urgently needs is helpers, not a group of unidentified demons..." The warrior has raised his hand, his eyes are extremely serious, but he can't say anything for the time being because someone is pressing his throat with fingers.

“My friend, Sarkaz are Sarkaz… you said the demon race is so ugly.” Linley said with a smile, but neither Bill nor Fester could read the slightest smile from the man’s eyes. “This will not happen again.”

With that the hunter floated away and stopped behind the mysterious hooded man.

"Old Bill, they were just up there rescuing other citizens like us, but they are quite temperamental and capable." Fester scratched his head and explained awkwardly, while Bill just looked at him.

"Or do you think I'm a traitor, Old Bill?"

"Not really. Everyone here treats you as a brother at home." Bill said, "Lolo also asked me to bring a few more people and follow you."

"Then come with me, I will take them to see the commander." Fester nodded with satisfaction, and the young man Filin was thinking in his heart: If that man could come to help, maybe our next action would be smoother. After all, that strange speed and temperament are really a bit special.

Just as Bill was looking at Klosher and the other Sarkaz and preparing to say something, the man throwing the dagger was looking at him with an indescribable expression: "I will watch you!"

As he spoke, he picked up his baseball bat and followed behind Fester. Krusil and Linley exchanged glances and said, “We seem to be more unwelcome than ever before.”

"No need to pretend. You're not very welcome in Rhodes, profiteer." The hunter shrugged. "But this place is probably because of the regent. After all, it was the Sarkaz who made these people homeless and have no choice but to survive in a place like this, right?"

"Kazdel's foul language... What nonsense are you talking about, you stingy guy? I was very popular when I was on Rhodes Island." Miss Blood Demon, who was probably a motorcycle warrior in her previous life, retorted in a low voice: "Do you know how many people come to me every day to modify and customize their weapons? It's best if you, a stingy guy, don't come."

The two of them kept bickering, and even the most nervous Rhodes Island operator smiled faintly.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The members of the Londinium Self-Defense Army seem to be having a meeting. We must not disturb them." Amiya turned around and stopped Klushier who was about to roll up her sleeves, and squinted at the one-horned girl who was talking loudly.

She is almost the same age as Amiya, and her extremely thick and long horn makes it hard not to think of creatures like unicorns. This girl can be said to be giving her speech with great power.

"If we allow the enemy to harm our warriors, who will be willing to fight alongside us in the future?"

"If we allow the enemy to capture our friends, who will be willing to lend us a helping hand later?"

"What a young voice! Mr. Fest, your commander is so young?" This was the exclamation from Amiya.

"As expected, both her appearance and speaking style are similar to Amiya!" This was the exclamation from everyone in Rhodes Island.

“It’s a decent speech, isn’t it, Doctor?” Linley and Jane stood side by side, and the Doctor nodded. “She has a high reputation, and the way she speaks can also boost the morale of these people who are not even considered soldiers. But why do you say that? Is there something wrong with her?”

“It’s hard to say. After all, I’ve never seen a girl who looks like a unicorn.” Linley shrugged. “But Doctor, is contacting them part of the action plan?”

"That's right, because our messenger lady has a good relationship with this group of people." Jane explained in a low voice: "But I think if we really want to quickly resolve this war between Victoria and the Sarkaz, the easiest way is to scare the Regent and the other Lords of the Royal Court."

"And then let those grand dukes of Victoria know about it, right?"

"That's right." The doctor nodded: "But it's definitely unrealistic to do so, otherwise we would definitely airdrop your decapitation team to take off Tracy's dog head."

“So let’s just take it slow.” Linley nodded. At this time, the one-horned girl had already finished her speech and decided to go to the prison to rescue her companions.

"It seems that before discussing the specific rescue plan, we need to meet a few new friends." The girl named Klovishia waved in the direction of Fester: "Fester, please bring them over. In addition, everyone can adjourn now."

"Ah! Yes, Commander!"

“Commander… This title hasn’t been used for a long time. Does that mean she’s not the leader of the Londinium Citizens’ Self-Defense Army?” Linley stroked his chin and followed Amiya slowly.

But when the girl with eyes like the unpolluted sky looked into the hunter's eyes, his spirit, which had been as calm as a lake, suddenly began to boil.

"Hiss..." The girl took a breath and her calm expression became a little embarrassed: "Hello, everyone from Rhodes Island, I have been looking forward to your arrival."

"You can call me Clovisia, the commander of the Londinium Citizens' Self-Defense Army." She stroked her chest gently, her expression gradually regaining its composure: "Someone who longs to retake Londinium."

"My name is Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island." The little rabbit stepped forward: "We are here to stop this war!"

066.W

While Amiya, the doctor, and the one-horned girl were discussing their next move and cooperation, Linley was playing with the communicator that Jian had handed to him earlier—except that this thing was more like a locator than a communicator.

Because this little gadget with a 'W' engraved on it can neither communicate nor send messages, the only difference it has now is that the red light flashes faster after Lin Lei enters the city. The nature is probably similar to 'Oh my badge is vibrating, there must be a sorceress nearby'.

"I wonder if that card fanatic has found his daughter." The hunter complained while silently putting away the badge. Rather than sitting in such a place, he might as well find a place to listen to those people quarreling - such as the lady of the King of Advancement and her group of 'henchmen'.

The two parties in the quarrel were still the Dagda, who was dressed in punk clothes and spoke in a chivalrous manner, and Indra, who had a band-aid on his face: "I don't want to quarrel with you. Also, King of Advancement, please consider my advice again."

"We must leave here, leave this dark underground cave."

"So where are you going to go after you leave here?" A male voice suddenly came into the discussion of several people. Dagda almost subconsciously got ready. The black jab looked extremely sharp. "Who is it?!"

“After all, we’ve been colleagues for more than three years. Is it really okay that you can’t recognize my voice?” Linley appeared behind the King of Advance with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face. “But it doesn’t matter. After all, you’ve never patronized the window I worked at. Is Victoria’s food really delicious?”

"Next time you come over, could you please make your footsteps louder?" The King of Advance didn't even turn his head and just glanced at the man beside him, while the Hunter just shrugged:

"Next time, for sure. But Dagda, do you mean to leave here?"

“It is precisely for safety reasons that I think we should stay away from these unidentified armed men.” Dagda said this almost subconsciously, “What if they have evil intentions…” But before Dagda could finish, Linley spoke in a low voice. His tone was gentle, unlike the fierce words of the white tiger girl beside him:

"Where can you go? You should know that there is no safe place in Londinium now." He looked directly at the little knight, and the girl looked at the ghost-like hunter without fear:

"As far as I know, there are still some reliable people left in the city. They are my mother's old friends."

“You mean the nobles?” Linley stroked his chin and gestured in Indra’s direction. The girl, who was about to explode, stopped moving, but her fists were still clenched, obviously suppressing her anger. “Then how do you judge whether these nobles are still worthy of your trust?”

"Did they provide any help when the King of Advance left Londinium?" The man asked as he took out a cigarette. "I remember that you are a knight, Dagda?"

"That's right. I completed the oath when I was sixteen and became a glorious Tower Knight! And also the last Tower Knight." The girl's voice gradually became low from the high pitch at the beginning.

“Have they taken action?” Linley asked again. “Compared to nobles who are not sure if they are friendly forces or not, these rebels with different intentions but clear goals may be more reliable. You must have your own plans when you return here, right?”

He lit a cigarette and said, "Amiya's goal is to stop the war, and the goal of the resistance is to save the city... What about you?" He looked at Aslan who was standing side by side with him:

"My hammer was made for Victoria. In a sense, we have no conflicting goals with this rebel army." The King of Advancement said calmly. She looked at Dagda:

"Dagda, I have always known that you are an excellent knight and have your own mission to fulfill. I am not the lord you are born to serve. No... You should find what you really want to be loyal to, instead of being bound by the oath in your blood. You have always been free... So, I will respect and look forward to the day when you make your choice."

"I understand, King of Advancement." The knight nodded silently and said no more.

At this time, the King of Advancement was holding his war hammer and looking at the man: "So that's what you came here to listen to?"

“No, I’m just curious about what you’re arguing about.” Linley shrugged. “If you want to leave here, I can help you. After all, I’m going out soon.”

"So you are here to seek temporary protection for Amiya and the Doctor?" The King of Advancement nodded, his pretty face showing no emotion: "No problem, we will protect them, but if anything really happens, you will have to do it. After all, we don't have as exaggerated power as you."

“Don’t worry, I won’t be away for too long. And if anything goes wrong, just ask the doctor to smash the crystal… I’ll come right back.” When the girls from the Glass Gang heard Lin Lei’s voice, he had already disappeared, just as he had arrived.

......

When the hunter emerged from the underground area, the moon was already high in the sky, and the moonlight looked particularly cold in this classical city full of skyscrapers.

“It seemed that the moon was similar that night, and it was raining.” Linley sighed as he walked slowly on the street. Because of the Sarkaz, there were no lights or pedestrians on the streets of the entire Sadien District.

Every Sarkaz mercenary is as tenacious as the proliferating G and hides in darker places, so where will the "legendary mercenary" who has come to Londinium appear?

Linley pondered, but his steps did not stop. The red light on the locator flying at his fingertips was flashing more and more frequently - like a bomb about to explode.

Finally, on the rooftop of a tall building, the hunter kicked open the door and saw the Sarkaz girl who could be described as cool and stunning in the moonlight. If she hadn’t spoken, Linley would have definitely exclaimed that she was a fairy-like figure.

"When I gave the locator to that old woman, she told me that she would give it to the best members of Rhodes Island... I was wondering if it would be you." W said, turning around and holding a grenade launcher: "So now, don't move!"

Linley naturally raised his hands high, shouting, “Lady, spare my life!”

067. I will kill

"Yes, raise your hands high and don't move, or I will put the bomb on you~"

W walked over with a smirk on her face, and her hand holding the grenade launcher was incredibly steady. The girl deftly used the barrel of the grenade launcher to pry open Lin Lei's coat. After seeing the dagger that she was very familiar with and the hand cannon stuck in his leg, W's eyes lit up and her other hand reached directly towards the thorns.
