The off-road vehicle was speeding along a dirt road. They had already landed at a nearly abandoned airport. They couldn't ask for more, because some of the operators had parachuted down, which was a tragic word.
"There's still some distance to go. Does the doctor need to sleep a little longer?"
"unnecessary."
Zhou Jinru dug out an old tourist map. The date on it was still forty years ago. If there were no major geological problems in the Rust Belt, the effectiveness of this map was still certain.
"Speaking of which, where did my operators find such old antiques?"
Amiya tore open a bag of snacks and threw one into her mouth: "The old airport behind us, if our Rhode Island plane hadn't landed, it would have continued to be abandoned until it was completely unusable. It just took a lot of time to clean up the runway.”
Zhou Jinru had nothing to say. He had thought about how desolate the Rust Belt was, but the current situation was unimagined.
The renovation of the airport runway was also a temporary act. The most important reason was that Zhou Jinru was afraid of heights. After the forced training, his condition was much better, but he still felt scared when standing at high places. There was really no way.
"These areas are not suitable for farming, the climate is too dry, and they are prone to fires. I don't think the Tenant State will pay the economic cost of fighting fires in the bush plains."
As he spoke, he thought of Gavel's burns again, and felt irritated.
Amiya ate snacks and glanced at the terminal from time to time. Finally, twenty minutes later, a vague signal appeared on her terminal. This was a sign that she was approaching the Tenan State stronghold.
"We're almost there."
Her terminal rang continuously, containing text messages from Warfarin, informing them that Gavel had begun his first surgery and might not have the energy to talk to them.
"Is the situation already that serious?"
Zhou Jinru's heart sank. Warfarin had previously said that the operation would be performed the next day, but this time was not left for them. The operation started before they even got off the plane, which only meant that Jiaweil's injury was getting worse.
Amiya's face was also gloomy. She lowered her voice and said hoarsely: "Doctor, Gavel woke up once. She only said two words before she fell into coma again."
"What word?"
Amiya raised her head, opened her lips slightly, and spit out a name that made Zhou Jinru's scalp numb.
"tyrant."
tyrant……
Is it really her?
If Jiaweier didn't say anything wrong, then everything would be explained, and Zhou Jinru's thinking suddenly became clear.
Who can defeat Huang head-on, causing the other three masters to suffer as well, or even being the only one who can escape in time, only Gavel?
In the game, the only person who can be called a tyrant is the woman who planned millions of dead souls in Chernobog!
She is Chen Huijie's childhood friend, she is the star of the integration movement, and at the same time, she is also the devil in the eyes of the Rhode Island operators!
Tallulah!
"We are facing a tyrant this time?!"
Zhou Jinru was stunned and speechless. He never thought that Tallulah would appear in the Rust Belt of Colombia, but now he connected all the previous events together.
Cadres of the Integration Movement appeared on the outskirts of San Martin. They reached an agreement with the Flying Eagle Gang in an attempt to capture the Rose District and gain greater influence.
Among them, the Kingslayer was captured by Rhodes Island and is still being kicked as a ball by the operators.
Integrated Sports' high-end equipment comes from Rheinland Life, but Roberts found no clues.
Zhou Jinru accidentally conveyed the news of the integration movement's infiltration in the Rust Belt to the Saxon Detective Agency, which led to a large number of agents conducting in-depth investigations and arousing the vigilance of Tenan State. At this time, Huang's team was defeated by the tyrant.
"The Rust Belt is a typical three-pronged area. As long as you are willing to pay the price, you can do anything here, even smuggling, even capitalizing on enemies. I am afraid that in the eyes of free Colombians, they never ask for their position when doing business. This is also their reason. Why absorb a large amount of food produced by the integration movement..."
Zhou Jinru felt as if he was laughing or laughing. All the problems had returned to their original point. He needed to face Talulah head-on again.
He had only one sentence to describe his understanding of Tallulah. This woman was difficult to deal with, and he also knew another piece of information...
You must not underestimate any dragon that can liberate power, whether it is Vaifan, Drak, or the dragon of Yan Kingdom. When they liberate power, that is when they are most terrifying.
He has already seen Ceria's liberation power, which is a power that can shake the earth, but what about Tallulah?
He knew nothing.
Amiya looked at him seriously: "Doctor, cancel the plan. Let's gather our strength to find Huang's whereabouts. We are not the only forces operating in the Rust Belt, there are also Columbia officials and Rheinland Life."
"We still don't know the purpose of Tallulah's appearance here, nor do we know if other cadres of the integration movement are there. Whether it is Frost Star or Faust, they have now been greatly strengthened."
This is probably where the Integration Movement takes a liking to Colombia. When they start doing business, they don’t care who the other party is, they only have interests in mind.
"We have no choice. Tallulah defeated Huang's team, and the Intelligence Department has not traced their deaths. This means that they escaped at the last moment and must be hiding somewhere now. Gaviel's injuries are so serious, and As for Dr. Warfarin, he wants to operate on her immediately, so you can imagine Huang’s current condition.”
Zhou Jinru's hands were clasped together, and his voice was slightly trembling. He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or something else.
"The plan has been slightly changed, but the search for Huang's whereabouts must be carried out urgently, and we are also scrambling for time."
The signal on the terminal became stronger and stronger, and finally at the last moment when the sun set on the horizon, the outline of the city appeared in their sight.
This is the last footnote of the sailing era. They were glorious, they declined, they witnessed, and they were silent.
Even though this city is just a peripheral city in the Rust Belt, as the cradle of mobile cities, it still has its own characteristics.
Tall towers are connected to the winding pipes above the city. People living on land shuttle between the steel buildings. Occasionally, children leap quickly between the pipes.
The oncoming wind stirred up a gust of sand and dust, which crackled on the car windows, and the rusty pipes also made a crisp sound.
Stepping out of the car door, several eyes with scrutiny were cast on him, and then quickly turned away.
Zhou Jinru took a breath of air mixed with the smell of rust. The noise, chaos, and shouts, mixed with the torrent of the times, hit his face together.
Welcome to the Rust Belt!
