Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 625 Counterattack
Now, due to the lack of scientific research conditions in Shandi and the collapse of the laboratory in the swamp due to the self-destruction program activated before the retreat of the Southern United City, the interpretation of the intelligent core has come to a standstill.

However, this project, which was supposed to be kept extremely confidential, has one party who knows its whereabouts... and that is its original owner.

This created a rather unfavorable situation: they were holding the intelligent core, but they were unable to effectively convert it into results for the time being, yet it was like holding a hot potato.

As time goes by, the likelihood of exposure increases.

The probing and retaliation by South United City will become more and more fierce.

The Shadow Man, with the Water Tribe, guarded the southern wetlands and was already battling wits and courage with Colons' spies and army...and today's killer team has already reached the Flash Land, which is also an example.

This problem must be solved once and for all as soon as possible, and we cannot wait until the day it breaks out completely.

then.

So this strategy of using the opponent's strategy against him came about.

When Lu Meng decided to meet this group of technology hunters, his original reason was not to use them to promote the establishment of a station in Flash.

Rather, the technology hunters operating in the south will inevitably have connections with the Southern United City and the major imperial city-states, and as they are local branches, they are most likely to be infiltrated.

There are countless connections and the connection is unclear.

Rather, Lu Meng would be disappointed if there were no imperial spies among them.

It means you have to find another opportunity.

A big drama.

You have to perform it for the right people.

Sora stepped over the bloody and broken bones on the ground and silently collected their remaining weapons and equipment - which would become the spoils of war in the future.

And when he saw the spiked shell and giant claws on the limbs, the processing chip also overheated slightly.

"Fish-shaped man..."

The remaining skeleton community has various speculations about their origins... but in the final analysis, they are still closely related to the once extremely glorious Second Empire.

Therefore, he was reluctant to say more.

However, as he became more familiar with the Crimson King, the bone man no longer felt guilty about keeping the secret... Sora had a vague premonition that the other party knew more than him.
Could it be that he really is a skeleton?

That's all.

However, there was one piece of news that Sora still told Lu Meng: It was rumored that at the end of the Second Empire, a very famous weapon was left nearby, in the extreme south of the continent.

But later, the fish-shaped people became rampant and the adventurers were killed and no one was able to go and look for them.

And with the ebb and flow of the tide, it might have already sunk into the deep sea.

But it’s always a thought.

Sora silently collected the flesh and blood of the fish-shaped man, and the thick paste slid down his iron-gray mechanical arm drop by drop.

Some of those Mine Hunters couldn't stand the stench and forced themselves to hold back their retching... Only a bone-headed person like him could do this job.

There is no intelligent core in Shan... This news was obtained at the cost of their blood.

These bodies.

It's called double espionage.

Use it when the enemy is in conflict with you.

Maybe that's human nature.

No one will cherish things that are obtained for free, and they may even be full of doubts - however, if they pay a price, they will believe it for the rest of their lives, just like a healed scar.

Call it a lesson.

As a skeleton, even if Sora heard such truth, he could not truly understand it... But on the other hand, how terrifying would that person be who deeply understood human nature and played with it?

No wonder they were once called monsters.

Different from fish-shaped people.

That's a scarier monster.

His good friends, Skeleton Kurt and Sadniel, have always held this view... But now, Sora has discovered that this statement is both right and wrong.

His methods are indeed terrifying.

But he finally achieved his goal.

But what they actually do is much cleaner than those who talk a lot of good words.

At least for our own people.

"When the news spreads, Mr. Bud will try to stir up trouble. Everyone will know what happened today... and those who are interested will try to figure out the 'truth' they want them to know from the exaggerated description." Sora's logic worked, and he recalled his previous plan. "We don't have an intelligent core. Although it's impossible for us to become friends with the Southern Union City, we can avoid becoming their top priority target at the moment."

Now that the beast disaster has subsided, Shandi is certainly less under direct pressure... but it also means facing the many city-states in the southern bone wasteland. The depth of the threat from both sides has not yet been determined.

And this buys time.

It will become the golden window for their development.

Many operations can be performed.

However, if you want to completely clear yourself of the suspicion of possessing an intelligent core...

They also need a scapegoat.

……

……

There was noise and chaos in the city.

Although the riot of the orangutans was quickly quelled, the reason for their rage has not been determined, and they also attacked the "VIP" technology hunters.

Now the guards of Shem are conducting a massive search.

Since the founding of the city of Shan, it has always been all-encompassing in its policy of absorbing refugees and increasing the labor force, but its rapid expansion has made it difficult to avoid a mixed bag.

There was such a big search.

I actually found quite a few people with problems.

This further increased the workload of the guards, and they were unable to confirm whether these people were the culprits of the riot or others with ulterior motives who simply wanted to take advantage of the situation.

They can only be detained and interrogated together.

It seems that it will take quite some time to fully understand it.

Although the guards of Shandi acted swiftly and decisively, such a large-scale action objectively created chaos from another perspective.

Let some really capable people come.

There is an opportunity to take advantage of.

——Even if he himself was just on the run.

In the corner.

A figure emerged, it was Deng Li.

Torches, searchlights, two moons in the sky... the changing light and shadows illuminate the changeable expression of fear on the face of this technology hunter.

He didn't know when he sneaked out of the Black Stone Hall. Maybe it was when he saw the Eagle Crossbow smashing the core shell, or maybe it was earlier. He had been paying attention to this target and found clues from the appearance and the frequency and weight of the vibration...

fake!

When he realized this fact, Deng Li's heart was shaken and his mind went blank.

Even he himself could not recall how he had managed to escape during the chaos and when everyone was not paying attention, and he didn't even encounter any obstacles along the way.

When he came to his senses.

Already hidden in the city of Shan.

And that astonishing speculation once again surfaced in his mind, causing the tech hunter to tremble all over:

Previously, Colons and the two ladies of the Wandering End were sure that the intelligent core was lost and fell into the hands of the Red King.

That's because he was the only winner and survivor of the battle in Shark Village.

The possibility is naturally the highest.

Even if he didn't get the intelligent core at that time, he would have plenty of time to search for it later, and the thing would fall into his hands sooner or later.

The two ladies' plans were also based on this...

However, is this really the case?

The hooded guard Chai Shi sent by Madam Grace, the Red Sword Group trained by Madam Meilin, the Red Swordsmen created by biochemical experiments... and the representative of the Merchant Guild, the waiter Yamudu.

At first, everyone thought.

They were completely wiped out, and no one was able to walk out of the swamp alive.

All were buried in the dense forest.

but……

Now it seems,

Isn't Yamudu still alive?
