endless route.

Chapter 186 25. Arrival at W-07 and the past events of everyone in the West Factory [Into the dungeon]

Early morning, Jinhuai Road, Fuen City.

A thin morning mist floated on the street, and the dark clouds were overcast. The street lamps cast a warm yellow soft light, casting mottled light and shadow through the leaves of the old locust trees, illuminating the pawn shop and the small truck at the door.

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao walked out of the store carrying their things. A blast of cold air mixed with heavy rain hit their faces. Zheng Yun tightened his jacket and quickly walked to the car.

It's autumn in a blink of an eye.

It will probably be late autumn when I come back.

"Master Xian, when can we buy a new car? I see there are good new energy cars on my mobile phone. It saves money and is exciting."

Ji Dao pouted and walked out of the store, also wrapped in a black jacket and carrying a small suitcase. He walked around the weather-beaten minivan and muttered in a low voice.

This car is really a bit too plain.

Who would have thought that this was the Jianxian Company’s bus?And it’s the only one besides buses and subways.

If it were two or three hundred years ago, when the Immortal Supervisor came out of the Imperial Palace of Jinhuai Ancient Street in Xian'en City, there would be a high-quality carriage in front of the door, and the leading horse must have the blood of the Immortal Horse.

But now, when they go out to deal with ghost incidents, they ride in a small truck with a pawn shop's phone number on it.

It doesn't sound good.

They seem to be buying and selling vegetables.

"It seems that you are not dozing off at all." Zheng Yun glanced at Jidao lightly, opened the car door, got in the driver's seat and started the ignition, and continued: "Can you provide Tiangong with some new energy?"

"That must be good. The Tiangong can be covered with solar panels, and ancient books record that the Tiangong has oil, isn't it stone paint and kerosene." Ji Dao got into the passenger seat and smiled.

"You can dig around and take a look." Zheng Yun took out a piece of cloth and wiped the front windshield. He looked sideways at the pawn shop. Zhang Ergou pulled down the roller shutter and walked to the truck carrying the box.

"Then I want an excavator."

Ji Dao rubbed his hands and said something surprising.

His sudden statement really made people confused for a moment, making them laugh and cry, making it difficult to evaluate his thoughts.

Zheng Yun couldn't help but want to laugh.

What level of magic weapon does an excavator have to be?

"Sir, the excavator is great. You can do anything with the accessories. Those bird droppings and horse droppings should have been shoveled long ago." Zhang Ergou sat in the back row and chatted. This matter was related to his interests.

Zheng Yun didn't answer, started the small truck and drove towards the seaside port. Along the way, he listened to Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou thinking about the excavator, and even the crane and crane.

ten minutes later.

The pickup truck is parked in the port parking lot.

The three of them got out of the car and walked in two directions. As the crowd lined up to board the cruise ship, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao bought tickets for a suite with a large bathtub that could open the fairy door.

Nine in the morning.

The cruise ship sets sail and leaves the port.

This ship sails very fast and goes directly to Kate Harbor south of W-07. It only stops at two islands along the way. It takes more than nine days in total and is another boring sailing journey.

……

Flash is five days later.

The cruise ship was sailing in the W-05 sea, and there was a violent storm on the sea. The stormy waves outside the window were dark, which made people recall the past in the Qianzhou Strait.

From here to W-08, they are all familiar with the flight section, but compared to the entire continent and vast sea areas along the way, the places they have explored are only a drop in the bucket.

Zheng Yun led Ji Dao to have a buffet meal on the ship, and then took out the files given by Mr. Xu and analyzed them together.

After almost the fixed time.

He asked Ji Dao to guard the door in the room, walked into the bathroom and put down the black jade pillow, opened the fairy door and went to the W-07 Museum, and got in touch with Kedster deep underground.

Zheng Yun comes here every day.

In the past few days, everyone in the West Factory has made little progress in their exploration, and there have been constant twists and turns, stagnating near the transit island.

According to the clues, they were able to determine that the salvage expedition team of Jias Eileen had stopped at this transit island, and some members even died on this island.

There are two lines of inquiry here.

One is where Jia Si Irene and others went after transiting on the island, and the other is what was the cause of death of those members.

But now both directions are broken.

Kedester had followed the yacht before, but what happened next was very strange. The yacht only stayed at the transit island for two hours, and then hurriedly sailed eastward.

Licia and others investigated the surrounding islands, but most people kept it secret. They tried every means to obtain information, but they got some strange rumors that there were ghosts in the abandoned manor.

On the surface, their findings correspond to the two directions of investigation, but they are not consistent.

I don’t know what the outcome will be today.

Zheng Yun walked out of the fairy gate, picked up his mobile phone from the jade table in the underground hall and turned it on. This mobile phone has always been left here.

Kedester sent some videos.

They landed on the transit island again this morning and walked around the seaside. In a forest on the edge, they found some clothes and shoes left by explorers.

Judging from the traces at the scene, these things seemed to be relics left by the victims, but no bodies were found nearby. It seemed that someone had deliberately cleaned them up, leaving only hidden fragments.

After that, everyone in the West Factory went deep again and circled around the middle ring line of the island with their weapons. They found a hilltop where they could overlook the entire abandoned manor and continued to observe it for a long time.

There are signs of human activity in the abandoned manor.

And the internal environment of the manor is okay.

But they monitored for about six hours and saw nothing unusual. They returned to the shore when it got dark, and met the dark-colored local fishermen at this time.

The fishing boats of these fishermen were docked next to their speedboats. Several dark-colored fishermen were standing on the shore, their dark skin almost blending into the night, staring directly at them.

Kedester spoke to the other party.

But these dark-colored people didn't say a word, as if they didn't know English, and they didn't make any movement. They just stood there and watched them pass by and board the speedboat to leave.

Licia has some guesses.

These dark fishermen were probably slaves.

It is possible that slavery still existed in this place, and these people may have been slaves kept by the owners of the manor.

In addition, Licia said that when they investigated the surrounding islands before, the number of dark-colored people was very large. Almost every ten people had six to seven dark-colored people.

This clue makes people even more confused.

The abandoned manor was built in the [-]th century, when slavery did exist. Even today, there are still some slaves in many inaccessible places.

But why are there still slaves in an abandoned manor?If the owner of the manor dies unexpectedly, isn't the most important thing these slaves should do is to search for things and escape?
Zheng Yun wrote back to Kedester, asking them to wait until he went over to talk. They had been out at sea for a long time and needed to return to the sea to replenish supplies. The two parties could meet at the surrounding large islands.

Leave your phone turned off.

Zheng Yun returned to the secret realm and closed the Immortal Gate mechanism. When he returned to the cruise ship, he took a glance and saw that the Yin soldiers were having breakfast. The Taoist priests and the deaf girl were distributing food, and they were eating seafood porridge.

It was a good meal.

It will be up to them to take action in two days.

……

Another four days passed.

The cruise ship arrived at the target port. Zheng Yun and Ji Dao walked onto the deck with their backpacks, only to see that the sky and sea were covered with clouds, and the port buildings were all in the old style of the last century.

Use a telescope to look into the distance.

Most of this port city is made of stone buildings, with skyscrapers built in the last century in the center, but at the edge of the city, there are still wooden houses that have survived to this day.

Coming here is like coming to the West in the [-]th century or even the [-]th century. The entire port has a strong smell of gold mining, even more gold mining than the town of La Maine.

A layer of industrial smog hangs over the city.

The gold rush boom led to the development of the local metallurgical and mining industry. Many ores were processed locally and then shipped away. However, all the profits were plundered by capital, resulting in no local development at all, and it was forever fixed in the [-]th century.

W-07, Kate Harbor.

For Zheng Yun, this is another new environment waiting to be explored, and everything within his field of vision is very novel.

"Master Immortal, our journey has not been smooth. It has been cloudy from beginning to end, and this place smells like burning."

Kidou wrinkled his nose and muttered.

As a descendant of the ancient East, he broke into this last century style and could not understand the unique charm of this city.

Zheng Yun read the guide on the boat.

In fact, Kate Harbor is barely considered a tourist attraction, and many people come here to travel. It is the largest city in the southeastern sea, and it still belongs to the United Kingdom until this moment.However, the surrounding situation is complicated.

Kate Port is located southeast of the opening of the W-07Λ-shaped foggy sea. There are more than 80 large and small countries and independent forces in the many peripheral islands and deep in the mainland.

The Dusi Ruins Museum they go to every day is not here, but on the continent southwest of the Λ-shaped Sea of ​​Mist. That continent is far away from the opening of the Sea of ​​Mist, but it is larger in area.

The East has a lot of influence here, that continent belongs to the East at the moment, and there are many Chinese in Kate Harbor.

There are many historical issues here.

But it has nothing to do with their trip to sea this time.

As the cruise ship docked and entered the port, Zheng Yun led Ji Dao down the gangway and transferred to a small cruise ship at the same port.

Zheng Yun bought some gadgets for Jiang Meng in the souvenir shop at the port, and also bought some for others.

W-07 is very rich in minerals, including various gemstones, especially tourmalines and red sapphires. They are everywhere on the streets, and the price of buying raw stones directly is very cheap.

Waited two hours at the port.

The cruise ship set sail again to another island, where Kedester and everyone in Xichang were already waiting for him.

Zheng Yun originally wanted Ji Dao to go to the Dusi Museum to take a look first, but out of fear of the abandoned manor, he decided to take Ji Dao with him first and then go to the museum to catch ghosts in two days.

After another voyage.

At [-]pm local time.

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao got off the boat again and really stepped on hard ground. Ji Dao rarely took boats and lived in Tiangong all year round, so he developed some symptoms of seasickness.

Walk out of the port with your backpack on your back.

As soon as they walked onto the main street, three off-road vehicles drove up to the left and stopped directly in front of the two of them. As the windows slowly rolled down, several familiar faces were revealed in the car.

"Chief, is this going well?"

Licia opened the door and jumped out of the car with a smile on her face. She was wearing crisp adventure equipment, long boots covering her slender calves, and her snow-white skin was slightly tanned.

She is a Nordic with black hair and black eyes.

Now I look more or less like an Oriental.

The mysterious temperament of a Western fortune teller has also transformed into another flavor, becoming much more cheerful.

"is acceptable."

Zheng Yun nodded.

Li Xiya is also an old acquaintance. She suddenly appeared in the Hades Pavilion and wanted to ask for the seal from him, which made people extremely defensive as if facing a powerful enemy, but now she makes people feel at ease.

Bang bang bang, the sound of door closing sounded on the left side one after another.

Kedester and the others all got out of the car. A total of eleven people from the West Factory were all present, including the rich second-generation Olivia who had little exploration ability.

Everyone had a smile on their face and seemed to be enjoying themselves. This spirit of adventure was amazing.

But just looking at this scene is quite strange. A dozen Westerners wearing professional adventure equipment came to pick up two casually dressed Easterners, as if they were doing something illegal.

"Let's talk about it in another place."

Zheng Yun took Ji Dao into the car with his backpack.

Although Xichang is called Xichang, the only people who can speak Chinese are Kedester and Li Xiya. The others are in the learning stage and can only communicate with Zheng Yun in English for the time being.

On the way, Kedester gave a general introduction to the situation.

Zheng Yun already knew most of the information. Kedester and Li Xiya only talked about the internal situation of the West Factory.

The box that Kedester took out from the safe contained cash and gold that he had saved a long time ago. The way an explorer like him deposits money is almost the same as hiding treasure.

He withdrew more than 70 pounds.

£20 70 years ago…

The money was meaningless to him. He left some for his daughter and used all the rest to track down Jia Si Aileen.

There are also the richer gold-mining old man Monotto and the rich second-generation Olephia. The former's gold-mining family made their fortune from W-07, and the latter's family has a hotel industry in the local area.

They provided Xichang with millions of expedition funds, but this money was just pocket money to them. Even if they didn't join Xichang, they would probably use it to explore the unknown.

Zheng Yun suddenly became speechless.

Xichang is richer than Jianxiansi.

Because their units are pounds sterling.

Before going to sea, Ji Dao said he wanted an excavator, but he didn't answer a word. In comparison, Xichang was really too rich.

But you can’t say that.

If Jidao is asked to sell a few pieces of Tiangong's antiques, it won't be a problem for him to buy a hundred excavators. Selling tens of millions is trivial, and the unit is also pounds.

But it didn't work that way.

Whether it was the Immortal Cave or this time, their purpose was to snatch the Triton heritage from the British Museum and Western explorers, but then they turned around and sold the antiques for money?
Except money.

There are other things going on in the West Factory. They all have some past events, and some of them need to be dealt with.

Licia, as the eldest sister of La Maine Town, vaguely mentioned a few words on the way that Olivia, Monoto and even herself wanted to get help from Triton.

Her occult family has ancestral enemies.

Olivia wants to fight for the family property.

Monotto was the enemy who was responsible for the destruction of his family.

Coupled with Kedster's attempt to find Jiasi Irene this time, the group in the West Factory all have some side missions.

Originally there were no such things.

It was Zheng Yun who seduced them.

Olephia loves to play and explore and is not qualified to inherit the family property; Monotto is 70 years old and has long since forgotten the past; Kedester has been trapped for 20 years and cannot find anyone.

Only Li Xiya had some hope. She was only a few steps away from cracking the Underworld Pavilion. If she could find the real Ghost Seal, she might be able to fulfill her wish with her own ability.

No one else has that ability.

But after becoming members of the West Factory, everything was completely different. With the support of Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi, all the wishes in their hearts were no longer wishes, and they could all try.

Daming Triton.

Supervisor of gods and ghosts.

This secret force.

Represents strange and unpredictable abilities and power.

Xichang provides them with an opportunity to re-examine the thoughts that have been suppressed in their hearts.

Especially Monotto.

He has been playing guitar in the town of La Maine for more than ten years. He plays and sings old songs from the gold rush era by the bonfire in front of the bar every day. Has he ever looked past those past events?
It's really a relief.

Or are you forced to watch it?
Zheng Yun glanced through the rearview mirror and saw that the people in the two cars behind were still talking and laughing with each other with smiles on their faces. Despite his age, Monotto also insisted on coming here to continue his adventure.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder they are laughing.

No wonder they spend a lot of money.

This is really not something I forced myself to do.

This matter has nothing to do with Wang Xi, nor does it have anything to do with their identity as Yin soldiers. They and Xichang are going in both directions, and if given the chance, they will achieve success in both directions.

thought here.

Zheng Yun was also a little relieved.

Originally he was really embarrassed to spend the West Factory's money, but now he is more embarrassed and feels more at ease.

It is equivalent to internal delegation.

He took millions of pounds.

You can also help them get things done.

As long as they can survive this mission, they have a chance to do anything. They don't even need Jianxian Division to take action at all. The people in Xichang can help each other to complete the task.

Except for Olivia, this little girl is doing random things. She is indeed not qualified to inherit the family inheritance. Let's not talk about her family. Let's talk about it after she is more mature and stable.
