I'm a lord in the wasteland

Chapter 15 The New Lord

After hearing Lao Jin's words, everyone started to talk about it, and everyone talked about some strange things that happened in the fortress last month.For example, the firearms in the military supply warehouse were lost or damaged for no reason, the gunpowder used to make bullets in the warehouse was damp, and at the same time, there were a lot of black waste that would only circulate in the black market on the market.

Although it is said that the economic and military operations of the fortress were not seriously affected, the sensitive Sama still dealt with a group of officials who did not respond properly to emergencies.

Lao Jin was fiddling with his wristbands repeatedly, because of the previous battles, the wristbands were already tattered.

"Hey, all of you guard the function center for me, and there is no room for loss!" Lao Jin ordered a small team leader to strengthen the security work of the function center.

"Yes!" Several soldiers with live ammunition rushed to perform the task.

Since he used the mithril plug-in, the wrist guard seemed to be stretched, and now it is no problem to wear it around the neck.

"Um... It seems that I have to buy a new one..." Lao Jin said helplessly to himself.

"You are broken like this, can I say you are simple? Or sloppy?" Fan Jun rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha, why don't you get me a new one? You should have quite a few good ones."

Lao Jin bumped Ling Ling's arm with his elbow.

"I've heard that [Black Feather]'s equipment is top-notch in the black market."

"...You...you stay away from me, Kuroba's things didn't come from the strong wind...!"

"Old guy! Next! I'll treat it as an apology to you!"

Xin Fei took out a box from his bag and threw it to Lao Jin. After he opened the box, he found a brand new combat wristband inside.

"Just use it, there seems to be a lot of equipment that my brother bought on the Sirius in the military supply vehicle... Uh... why are you covering my mouth!" Before Xin Fei could finish speaking, Ling Ling had already dragged her aside. Son, lifted her up nervously.

"Hey... Hey, why are you giving away my things again? Didn't it mean the last time I sent the 10 drones to the Lava Tribe last time!?" Ling Ling began to protest.

"... Be generous, you don't lack these things!" Xin Fei's big white eyes were almost rolled up to his eyebrows.

[Black Feather]'s assault fleet has extremely powerful mobility, especially the Broken Halberd assault motorcycle modified from ordinary motorcycles. It is a combat vehicle designed by Lingling's comprehensive land combat adaptability and firepower. , Strong battery life, of course... the noise is also very loud!

Yes, Ling Ling's convoy is on the expedition, and the huge sound waves generated by the roar of the engine can be heard within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

The momentum is like a galloping horse, and in actual combat, with powerful assault and pursuit capabilities, he has repeatedly defeated the enemy in field encounters.

The wristband that Ling Ling attaches great importance to is the medium for the linkage between the driver and the vehicle.

Each wristband is connected to its own exclusive vehicle, and the usage, fuel consumption, and firepower of the vehicle are all clear at a glance. The wristband also has the function of assisting driving. When the driver uses weapons in combat, the automatic driving function of the wristband allows The driver can concentrate on fighting without worrying about the car crashing and killing people.

But the cost of the wristband is high, and the black market price is as high as 1500 scrap.

A wrist guard can be exchanged for a broken halberd motorcycle.

After all, this is the wasteland world. While enjoying the convenience brought by high technology, the unmatched production capacity makes the equipment precious and valuable.

"Hahaha, then respect is worse than obedience!"

Lao Jin knew it was a good thing, and put the wristband on his arm while talking.

"Oh?...It's not that I don't want to give it to you...it's because...it's because..." Ling Ling's face flushed red, but he didn't have a good reason to refuse. He was afraid that others would think he was a stingy person.

Actually he is.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively!"

"Oh, I'm so tired, did I sleep all day?"

Zhong Tian stretched his waist and walked out of the lounge.

Everyone looked at him together, but everyone's expressions were different.

"Did the rotten miner come to take revenge! Let the horse come here, let's fight again!" Xin Fei rushed in front of me and wanted to beat me, but Ling Ling held her tightly, not daring to let her come.

"Hey, you've been released. I was thinking about you just now. The place in the prison is cold and dark, and you won't be able to see anything if you stay for a long time."

"Hmph, that's not thanks to you!"

Unable to understand why this woman was so angry, Zhong Tian thought that I didn't beat Qiao Qiao to death on purpose, I just did what I should do under that circumstance.

"Zhong Tian...no...boss! Xin Fei still doesn't understand the situation very well. Don't be as knowledgeable as a little girl. She is very kind-hearted. After entering the city, she repeatedly told us that the people in the castle invited him to drink and eat. Meat, don't kill people indiscriminately..."

"Do you still know what I said? You didn't listen to me at the time!" Xin Fei threw Ling Ling's hand away in anger, and kicked Ling Ling's ass.

"Hey... You really kicked... Now we are even!"

Although Ling Ling is a proud person, the way he pampers and protects the princess of the old country is really distressing.It is difficult to connect him with the demon king in the daytime.

"Hahaha, when did Zhong Tian get a new name, "Boss" is a good title!"

Lao Jin put his hips on his hips and laughed heartily.

"No, no, no, I'm not the boss, so I'm not used to it! Everyone should call me by my name. My name is Zhong Tian. TAAK Zhong Tian. A third-class soldier of the wine barrel fortress guards, and Hei Yu's new partner~" He He solemnly introduced himself to Ling Ling and Xin Fei again.

Then Zhong Tian continued.

"What I'm going to say later is very important, I hope everyone will listen carefully."

Everyone nodded their heads and stopped making any noise. Everyone quietly waited for Zhong Tian's new discovery.

"Just now when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt that the world seemed to be upside down for a moment.

My whole body quickly flew away from the planet, through the fort, through the clouds, through the atmosphere...

As I looked down, the fort's broad walls dwindled until they were the size of a grain of rice on a millstone.

The body finally stopped slowly.

Still wondering how I got to the other side of the world...

Sama entered my dream.

I stand suspended in space, with the planet destroyed by nuclear war under my feet, which is the wasteland world we live in now.

Sama and I stood face to face, her shape was more like a holographic projection, after I settled down and made sure it was her, Sama started a conversation..."
-
can you hear me
I nodded.
-
OK, I know you heard me.
-
I want to tell you something, I hope you can listen carefully.

I looked at her blankly.
-
I'm leaving.
-
There is a force calling me to another world, a place I cannot refuse, a place I must go.
-
But I still have unfulfilled wishes...
-
The person I've been waiting for... doesn't show up, but there's no time right now.
-
I hope you can take on this responsibility, even if your current ability and reputation are not enough to achieve it.
-
I see how you're doing, at least so far.You are the best.

I looked puzzled and shook my head, wondering what she was trying to express.

What puzzled me even more was why she could talk in my dream, but I seemed to be drowning in water, only hearing and vision were normal.
-
Fool, for I am your lord.Or, it used to be.
-
I can talk to each of my subordinates through telepathy.

Hey, can you read minds as a lord? ——
Stop thinking about boring questions...
-
Well, you have to remember clearly what I'm going to say next.

Sama paused and moved a little closer to me.
-
I will leave Barrel Fortress and this world of yours forever.
-
The reason...you can't understand it with your current knowledge.
-
If given the chance, we will meet in another world.

I shook my head.

After all, she is the iconic figure of the fortress, and her departure will put the fortress into a leaderless predicament, and even cause everyone to fall apart.
-
So, I hope you can take up the heavy responsibility.
-
Become the new Lord of the Barrel Fortress.

What?How can I become a lord?This decision is even more unexpected than me being the leader of [Kuroba]...

I can't do it.
-
Um.Many people want to be lords, and many people will become lords through different means.
-
For example, my deceased husband died in battle, relying on the number one succession, I accepted the position of lord.
-
As my bone priest, I don't have the opportunity and ability to take on this role.
-
However, someone has to stand up and fight for the homeland.
-
Therefore, please be sure to become an excellent lord.Lead the people of Yingzui Cliff on the road to glory.

I continued to shake my head, hoping that Master Sama would cancel this ridiculous idea.

After all, I was a miner yesterday, who would accept a miner's order?
-
If it weren't for you, Keg Fort would have been wiped off the map yesterday.
-
What about the miners, you guarded your homeland and saved the people from being slaughtered.
-
Besides, you are now the new leader of the thieves.

I looked at Sama, but there were 1 reluctances in my heart.
-
I've already arranged the rest, so don't worry.
-
Everyone will support you as much as you support me.
-
Ask Gu Xue if you are undecided about internal affairs...ask Lao Jin if you are undecided about foreign affairs.

Sama held out her hand to me, motioning for me to do the same.

Two lines popped up in the survival guide.
-
23:45:30 No. 6660, Third Class Zhong Tian, ​​withdrew from the commando of the Barrel Fortress Legion;
-
23:45:31 No. 6660, third-class soldier Zhong Tian was promoted to the lord, and belonged to the Council of the Wine Barrel Fortress;

Sama's body suddenly emitted a magnetic field response unique to electronic eddy currents, and her influence gradually became blurred.

She smiled.

It was the only time I saw Master Sama smile.
-
I'm leaving, Zhong Tian.
-
There is one last thing, I hope you can promise me.

I also don't know what to do now that the raw rice is already cooked.

I nodded vigorously.
-
...the primordial spirit of the deceased husband...is still in the hands of the watchman.
-
I hope one day... you can rescue the dead husband and the old lord.
-
Let their physical bodies be reborn again, or let their souls return to their hometown...

I looked at Sama and told her my answer with firm eyes.
-
Thank you so much...see you later.

The image of Sama gradually receded from me, and finally disappeared among the stars.

It is accompanied by Sama chanting:-
There are no secrets under the cover.
-
Endlessly waiting for time to pass.
-
Countless fantasies are enough.
-
But still can't escape the ultimate fate.

At this point, I feel my body getting heavier and heavier, falling headfirst towards this decaying planet.

The speed is getting faster and faster, the wind is whistling in my ears, and the lingering wind is cutting my skin like a knife.

My body can no longer bear the pressure brought by the ever-increasing acceleration.

Just when I thought I was going to die.

I woke up.

Lying on the camp bed, he suddenly sat up sweating profusely.

Looking around, it was an empty barracks lounge.

So it was just a dream?

I raised my arms to see where the air had cut me.

It turned out to be intact.

"Ah, I'm still alive." With a deep breath, I was able to speak again.

"Master Sama...!!"

"I jumped out of bed and frantically tried to find evidence to verify what happened in the dream just now. Until I opened the survival guide, those two lines came into view."

"Dreams are real."

Zhong Tian told everyone about the incident just now.

Now it's other people who are dumbfounded, and can't believe that this thing really happened to Zhong Tian.

"The system has indeed received a message... Sama has passed the position of lord to Zhong Tian of the guard."

Lao Jin verified it on his worn-out wrist, which proved that Zhong Tian was already the new lord of the wine barrel fortress.

"Head hurts…"

Suddenly the world spun, and Zhong Tian felt a severe headache like a landslide.His body suddenly fell backwards and collapsed to the ground.The whole person fainted again...
