The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.
It is now May in Chernobog, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. But for someone who has grown up in a temperate zone, the spring breeze here is really biting.
The weather is very good tonight. Thick clouds cover the moon, and the night wind is noisy like ghosts. The whole city fell into a deep sleep. With Valentine's campaign to "comprehensively improve the personal quality of gang members" in full swing, most of his gangsters have given up their habit of staying up late, and only a few of them are still painting dragons in the bar. Paint a rainbow. Valentin didn't bother to care about those people. As long as he didn't do anything illegal or criminal, some bad habits were tolerable.
At this time, Valentine was lying on the roof of a bar under his command, holding a night vision binocular in his hand and constantly scanning the surrounding roads, as if waiting for something.
This was an ambush. In order to move quickly, Valentin did not wear a warm coat, but came out wearing a slim suit. The same was true for Xing Yihuang beside him. Xing Yihuang looked indifferent, stepped on the low guardrail on the roof, and looked towards the end of the street in the distance. The night wind blew up her hair and tie, flying like an elf in the air. Her whole person looked full of charm.
And at her feet, Valentine held a night vision telescope in one hand, and wrapped his body tightly with the other hand. He squatted on the ground, his teeth chattering, and he kept mumbling: "It's so cold. Why should I do this?" Come out with words like this.
The two men wore similar clothes, but their styles were completely opposite.
"If that doesn't work, you can go back first. I am enough here."
Xing Yihuang lowered his head and glanced at Valentine, who was shivering in the cold wind, and flipped his hair. She didn't tie her hair into a ponytail, letting her hair flutter in the wind.
"No, how can I leave you alone in the cold wind to wait for the enemy to arrive? This is not manly at all!" Valentine put down the telescope and looked at Xing Yihuang with a firm look on his face.
Ever since he was mistaken for a girl by a certain harmful trash, Valentin has always said and done some words and things related to "men", although it seems a bit silly to others.
Xing Yihuang did not answer, but turned his head and continued to look into the distance, with an unobservable arc at the corner of his mouth. She knew this was just an excuse for Valentine to make excuses, but...
It truly entered Xing Yihuang's heart.
The night was still long, but the waiting was not boring because someone was with her.
Ten minutes ago, Valentine's office.
Valentin covered his face with a fashion magazine and lay on the sofa, snoring slightly. Xing Yihuang sat on the other end of the sofa, silently flipping through a food magazine. Her cooking skills are not too bad, but she knows very few dishes, so she often reads food magazines to learn some new dishes when Valentine is fishing, so as not to look like a dragon next time she cooks. I cried out in despair. I have been eating potatoes for a week. Can I change the dish to something else?
"Союзнерушимыйреспубликсвободных..." A very Soviet ringtone came from the cracks of the sofa, awakening Valentine. He sat up slowly, threw aside the fashion magazine on his face, then picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
"What are you doing?" Valentin, who was disturbed from his sleep, was a little angry and said in a bad tone.
"BOSS, this is Leonid. During the clearing operation in Dongcheng District, someone just reported an important piece of information that was sent out by the gangsters in the slums, and the company they were looking for was Penguin Logistics." Leonid didn't give a damn. He didn't take Valentin's anger seriously, and directly reported the information he got from his subordinates.
"Penguin Logistics?" Valentin immediately became energetic when he heard these four familiar words.
"What's that information you're talking about?" Valentine let go of his hand and held the phone with his face. He walked to the door and put on his coat. On second thought, he hung up the coat and took out a suit.
He waved to Xing Yihuang, indicating that he had work to do.
"We don't know. But judging from the other party's performance, it should be a very important piece of information. They would rather die than tell the contents of that piece of information. When our people arrived at the handover location, We only saw a sports car and the Penguin Logistics logo on the sports car.”
Well... combined with the slums full of infected people and the information that the gangsters swore to protect that could dispatch Penguin Logistics, combined with the plot of the Arknights game in Valentine's mind, it is not difficult to deduce who this information is related to.
Integrated movement.
As early as when he first crossed over, Valentin expressed doubts that the Integration Movement could dispatch so many manpower to occupy Chernobog. The integration movement had always been a civil society organization before that, so it was impossible for so many soldiers to suddenly emerge. After coming to Chernobog for a while, Valentin quickly came up with a more reliable inference based on what he saw and heard.
Those soldiers of the Integration Movement who passed by like locusts were all infected by Chernobog.
Outside the city walls of Chernobog, there are slums one after another. The main residents there are infected people who have been oppressed by Chernobog officials. They were expelled from the city by the government because they were infected with ore disease. They had no choice but to settle among the poor, which also explains why the integration movement in the game plot has so much revenge on the people of Chicheng.
However, it is impossible for so many people to organize a movement in just a few days. They must have planned it in advance. Since February 1095, Valentine has been paying attention to the slums outside the city, and has also sent many people to inquire about information, just to get some information about the integration movement from the slums. As a result, no information could be found at all, and the red double helix symbol never appeared, which gave Valentine a headache.
But now, things seem to be turning around.
“Do you know where Penguin Logistics’ goal is?”
Valentin got dressed and ran straight downstairs, with Xing Yihuang following closely behind him.
"Xicheng District, during the cleanup process, we still learned some information about the intelligence. But as for the content of the intelligence, none of the prisoners knew."
"Xicheng District..." Valentine's brain began to think rapidly, and a map appeared in his mind. In order to prepare for the invasion in 1906, he put in a lot of effort in peacetime, and he memorized the entire map of Chernobog in detail.
Soon, a possible route appeared in his mind. Valentin hung up the phone, stopped and looked at Xing Yihuang behind him.
Xing Yihuang:? ? ?
"Become Spider-Man, sister."
Valentine smiled brightly.
Then it only took them two minutes to reach the most suitable place for an ambush, at the cost of Xing Yihuang eating fifteen energy bars and Valentin vomiting his dinner all over the floor.
He must obtain information about the Integration Movement. This is his top priority so far.
And maybe you can meet your future colleagues.
"Oh, I saw them!" Valentine exclaimed. In the night vision binoculars, he saw a car moving very fast from far to near. The logo of Penguin Logistics is also printed on the front hood of the car.
Xing Yihuang nodded and disappeared beside Valentine. She used her Origin Stone skills to increase her control over her body to the highest level. Her whole figure was like an elegant cheetah, fast and quiet. In just a few seconds, she crossed several buildings and a street and arrived at the ambush location agreed upon in advance.
After arriving at the destination, Xing Yihuang's voice reached Valentin's ears through the earphones.
"Arrive at the designated location."
"Understood." Valentine replied. He did not put down the night vision binoculars and was still observing the rapidly approaching car.
When the car was close enough to see the driver clearly, Valentine gave the order.
"Attack!"
Xing Yihuang's whole figure was ejected like an arrow from the string and hit the front of the car. The driver of Penguin Logistics turned the steering wheel hard and pulled up the handbrake, putting the whole car in the middle of the road. He barely missed hitting the car that suddenly ran out and hit the car. The dragon girl.
"Hey! I don't want to die!" The rear window of the car was lowered, and a red-haired woman with a halo on her head got out of the car, holding a large assault rifle in her hand.
Looking at the halo shining brightly in the dark night, Valentine felt excited.
Look at the familiar short red hair, the white Penguin Logistics uniform, the dagger submachine gun in her hand, the small wings on her back and the halo above her head.
It’s Aneng, it’s Aneng!
He almost jumped down and called his wife.
As for why you can see so clearly, you have to ask about the thing on the head of the angel.
24 hours uninterrupted power supply, bringing you eternal light.
Xing Yihuang did not respond to the capable angel's question. He just stood quietly in the middle of the road and looked at them coldly.
The angel can see murderous intent in her eyes.
"Texas, Croissant, prepare to fight." Nengangang retracted into the car and reminded Texas, opened the car door and pointed the gun at Xing Yihuang not far ahead.
Texas turned on the car's high beam switch so that Angel could clearly see the enemy in front of him. She untied the Source Stone sword and put it in her arms to deal with emergencies.
"Is there another blind guy who wants to rob..." Croissant lamented, picked up the shield and magnetic storm hammer and jumped in front of the capable angel. Facing a completely unknown guy, Croissant's duty is to protect our output.
Everyone can see the meaning of the sudden appearance of the woman in front of him.
It can only be an enemy.
"Get out of the way, we mean no harm."
Angel Neng tried to negotiate with Xing Yihuang.
The car's high beam had no effect on Xing Yihuang, and she still did not avoid such strong light. As an infected person who can adjust herself, she changed the structure of her eyes to adapt to the strong light environment the moment she turned on the high beam. At this time, Xing Yihuang was stuck in the middle of the road like a piece of wood. If the capable angel hadn't clearly seen the hostility in her eyes, she would have thought that the guy who suddenly appeared in front of her was a dummy.
Negotiations had no effect.
"Hey, Texas, why didn't you just run into me?"
Croissant was confused. This road is narrow and one-way. If a person is standing on both sides of the road in the middle of the road, the car cannot pass. But obviously if a person suddenly appears in the middle of the road at night, you will know that the other person is not a good person, so wouldn't it be enough to just bump into it?
"Believe me, if we had just run into her, it would not be her, but us." Texas threw the Pocky box to the side of the road and stared at Xing Yihuang not far away.
When Xing Yihuang appeared in her field of vision not long ago, Texas almost subconsciously stepped on the brakes, not because she was afraid of hitting someone, but because she felt an oppression from Xing Yihuang that she had not seen for a long time. feel.
It was as if a big rock had hit her heart directly, weighing her down so much that she couldn't breathe.
The last time she was so depressed was a few years ago, in front of the silver-haired woman covered in blood.
"So we have to fight...this guy is the same. He just stood there without saying a word, wasting our time." Croissant curled his lips, picked up the hammer, and prepared to rush forward and start fighting.
Xing Yihuang pressed his body forward slightly, and the shadow of the spirit behind him appeared behind him. An oriental dragon whose length could span the entire city block appeared in the sky. Its eyes were as big as a copper bell. Every scale and line on its body was lifelike. Every breath and every breath roared like a winter wind, showing its pressure.
Even if it is a virtual shadow, it is no less shocking than the real thing.
"Okay I see what you mean."
Croissant, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly became frightened after seeing the phantom of the giant dragon. He quickly retracted his whole body into the shield, leaving only half of his head exposed and staring at the giant dragon not far above. He was under great pressure.
This is a monster-level enemy...
It was at this time that the three people from Penguin Logistics also learned the identity of the woman in front of them. The personal bodyguard of the Growler BOSS, the strength ceiling of the Chernobog gang, a member of the Dragon Tribe of the Yan Kingdom, and his codename is "Dragon".
Since they came to Chernobog to take over the mission, they naturally wanted to know some information about Chernobog.
"I said, wouldn't we be in trouble if there were other people here..." Angel Neng looked up at the giant dragon in the sky and smiled bitterly.
Just as Texas was about to say something, he heard a voice not far behind them.
"You're right, there really are others."
Texas turned his head and saw a Waifan walking out of the darkness with a harmless smile on his face.
"Gan."
Texas bit off the Pocky in his mouth.
The growler's boss, Valentine.
There is a wolf in front of me and a tiger in the back. Now I can't escape even if I want to.
"The next time you talk, Angel, I will tape your mouth shut so you won't be able to eat apple pie for a week."
Ignoring the wailing of the capable angel, Texas took the origin stone sword and stepped out of the car to face Valentine directly. The Source Stone sword emitted a burst of warm light in the dark night, looking like a ball of flames in the shape of a knife.
"Aren't you afraid of contracting ore disease when using such a dangerous weapon?"
Valentine had no intention of fighting with her, but instead started chatting. To be honest, this is also a question he has always wanted to ask. It is said that if you come into contact with the Originium for too long, you will get sick. It's okay for Texas to use the Originium Sword.
"I have taken isolation measures."
Texas waved the sword in his hand gently, and Valentine could even feel the temperature of the sword. A stinging sensation exploded on his body, as if countless fine needles were pricking his whole body at the same time. Every inch of skin up and down.
Damn it, the complications of oriosis are here again.
Valentin endured the physical pain, and with his trembling right hand, he took out an inhibitor from his pocket and stabbed it directly into his neck. Soon, the discomfort disappeared. Ever since he was injected with the key in Rhine Life, Valentin had to enjoy the pleasure of being carpet bombed every night. If Vaifan's body was not strong enough, he might not have been able to bear it. But later on, he became the BOSS of the Growler and had money to buy inhibitors, so this situation became much less common.
There is no time to say hello. After getting involved in a relationship, there will be plenty of opportunities in Rhode Island. Valentine decided to get straight to the point.
"I need that document you shipped."
"impossible."
"I can pay three times or even five times the price."
"impossible."
Croissant not far away looked back at Valentin and quickly turned back.
"...I just took it for a look. After reading it, you can continue to transport it."
"impossible."
"Lapland!"
"why no?!"
Texas turned his head and looked in the direction of Valentine's finger as if his hair had exploded, and saw only darkness wherever he looked.
Texas has a few #s on his forehead.
"No matter what you say, I will not hand over the documents to you. This is related to the reputation of Penguin Logistics. Please go back."
"Also, why do you know the name Lapland?"
Valentine succeeded in arousing Texas' curiosity.
Looking at Texas, who looked unhappy, the corners of Valentine's mouth rose crazily.
"Want to know? Bring me the documents in exchange."
"impossible."
To Texas, Lapland's stupid dog was far less important than his job.
All the conditions proposed by Valentine were firmly rejected, which was also expected by him.
Therefore, Valentine decided to use other methods.
Of course, grabbing by force is the last resort and cannot be used now.
"I want to know what the guy asked for when he handed you the document." Valentine asked a very strange question.
Texas was silent, thinking about what kind of trap there was.
Soon, she gave an answer.
"Send the documents to their destination as soon as possible."
"That's it?" Valentine felt that he heard wrongly.
"That's it." Texas said he wasn't joking.
"If that's the case then I don't want the documents."
"This is best." Texas nodded and put the Source Stone sword back into its sheath.
"Shall I take a look at the main file office?"
Texas' movements paused for a moment, and he pulled out the Source Stone sword and pointed it at Valentine.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
She was almost exhausted of her patience. If it weren't for being unable to defeat him, Texas wouldn't be talking so much nonsense to Valentine here.
Penguin Logistics has the most extensive intelligence network in the world of Terra. Every time they go to a place to take on a mission, they will know the relevant information about that place in advance, including the danger level of the people they can contact. Because of the Chernobog gang war a while ago, the names of Valentine and Xing Yihuang were honored to appear in the intelligence that Texas knew, and they were marked as "dangerous persons" .
"I said it from the beginning. I wanted that information, but you were unwilling to give it to me, so I changed my mind. Just take a look." Valentin spread his hands and sounded like two friends having a chat.
"Just take a look, there's nothing to lose. And you also said that they asked you to deliver it as soon as possible, and they didn't mention the requirement that others not see the content of this information during transportation, right?"
Texas had nothing to say, because Valentine's logic... was really right. Their delivery basically depends on the consignor's requirements. The company does not have a set of rules and regulations that must be strictly followed for these unconventional goods.
Of course, the most basic rules, such as that goods cannot be damaged, have become industry rules and must be followed even if the shipper does not say so.
"And you just spending time with us here, aren't you violating their request to 'deliver it as soon as possible'?"
Indeed, they have been confronting Valentine here for nearly 10 minutes. Xing Yihuang's momentum has not diminished at all. The blood-smelling pressure put Croissant and Angel Angel under great pressure. It was really a fight. It's unclear who will lose and who will win, but one of them will definitely be seriously injured or even sacrificed.
Valentine has always been in a very relaxed state here. In his current stance, Texas has more than ten ways to kill him with one blow, but Texas does not dare to take action.
Once you take action, you can't come back.
She was thinking, weighing.
finally. Texas took a deep breath and seemed to have made a big decision. He took out a folder from the car and threw it to Valentine. Valentine reached out to catch it and gave her a very standard smile. Bowed.
"Thank you, beautiful courier lady."
Taunt value +1000
People don’t have to be handsome, but they must be sexy.
Texas resisted the urge to draw his knife and kill him without looking at him.
Valentin opened the folder, took out his phone and clicked on the documents inside. He quickly took pictures of all the documents.
"Thank you, Miss Courier." Valentine put the documents away and threw them back to Texas. "I hope we won't be so tense next time we meet. How about having a cup of coffee together?"
Texas ignored Valentin's polite words, took the documents, and told Angel and Croissant to get in the car and leave.
Looking at the Penguin Logistics trio walking away, Valentine waved to them.
When he saw them this time, Valentin had only one thought in his heart: the real person was much more beautiful than the three-dimensional painting. He had already begun to imagine his future days working in Rhode Island. Going on missions with a group of beautiful girl operators wearing black silk skirts would not be too happy.
Xing Yihuang patted his shoulder to bring Valentine back to reality from fantasy. She pointed to her shoulder. Valentine understood what that meant and quickly shook his head.
Xing Yihuang's version of the roller coaster is very fast, very efficient and very comfortable. You can consider it when you have an urgent mission, but forget it after the mission is over.
He didn't want to go home and throw up again.
"Let's go back... Isn't the moonlight nice tonight?" Valentine rejected Xing Yihuang's invitation and pointed to the sky.
Xing Yihuang looked up and saw a crescent moon hanging in the night sky, emitting a faint silvery glow. The thick dark clouds I saw at the beginning have long since disappeared, and the sky is filled with stars as far as the eye can see.
"It's not far from our home, so it's just a walk."
walk.
At this time, Xing Yihuang remembered that since arriving in Chernobog, she and Valentin had rarely spent time together alone. Even at home, Xing Yihuang was more often with Vera. Discuss philosophy. Most of the time, she followed Valentin and showed herself as an employee. It was becoming less and less common for the two of them to sit together to eat and chat like they did in Colombia. Because of Vera's joining, the two of them have become more restrained.
She looked at Valentine's back in front of her and followed him slowly, enjoying the relaxing time both physically and mentally.
