Tokyo underground city

Chapter 234 Black Card

The shouting in the sky startled Lin Huai'en.

A sudden bright light exploded in front of him, and a strong thrust enveloped his body, pushing him and Siegel far away.

The same thing happened between the black instructor and Pavlov.

"Your Excellency Dreyfus..."

Seeing the figure emerging in the sky, Catalina and the black instructor immediately lowered their heads and knelt down on one knee.

Although Siegel was yelling uncontrollably, he could not move at all under the suppression of the bright light.

As for Lin Huaien and Pavlov, and even Ivan and other mercenaries further away, they looked up at the figures in the sky, feeling surprised and uncertain.

Among the people present, only Catalina and the black instructor seemed to know the identity of the visitor. The woman in red raised her head slightly and said quickly:

"Your Excellency Dreyfus, may I ask..."

"enough."

The man's whole body was covered in black robes, with only half of his face exposed, but his smooth, beardless chin seemed to be ignited with every opening of the man's mouth, peeling off bloody flesh, but in the blink of an eye, it also appeared again. Heals quickly.

"Katerina, I warned you that if you go too far with the Yemo City behind you, you will inevitably incur the revenge of the Moscow Association."

The man in black robe turned away his eyes slightly, seeming to be looking at Catalina below.

"But..." Catalina was about to defend herself when she saw the man in black robe raise his head and look into the void in front of her——

"That's enough! Lord Rostov!"

Lin Huai'en looked with some surprise when another figure suddenly appeared in the void——

He was also wearing a black robe, but he was stout and bearded, and he was not wearing a hood.

He should be the "Rostov" the black robe calls him.

He nodded with an arrogant expression: "The two people you mentioned before can be taken away, but the others must stay."

"Okay, stop the missile quickly!"

The man in black robe said anxiously at first.

The bearded man nodded and took out the radio from his pocket:

"Birch forest? Deflecting the direction of the missile is no longer needed."

A few minutes later, a huge blast of flames suddenly erupted on the tundra several kilometers away. Catalina and the black instructor suddenly realized, their expressions were a little dull, and above them, Rostov nodded to the man in black robes. : "If you lose, you can get out!"

"……let's go!"

The man in black robe named Dreyfus, with a slightly blue expression, flicked his hands on the ground, wrapped up Catalina and the black instructor, and flew away.

Before leaving, he took a look at Siegel and others on the ground, and swiped them hard, like bullets, and threw the remaining mercenaries far away.

"Damnable Parisian guy... he didn't forget to cause trouble for us before leaving..."

The bearded man frowned, looking at this scene with some helplessness.

When the man in black robe disappeared into the distance, he lowered his head and looked at Lin Huaien and the others, then turned to look into the void in front of him: "President Zhou, thank you for your help. If I was the only one, I might not be able to scare that Paris guy away. .”

Rostov used a language that Lin Huaien had never heard of, but because of his psychic skills, he still understood what he meant.

He looked in the direction where Rostov was looking with some surprise, but didn't see anything.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying something to someone whom Lin Huaien could not see, Rostov finally looked at Lin Huaien and flew away.

It was only then that Pavlov swallowed his saliva and walked over——

He patted Lin Huaien on the shoulder:

"Rostov... black card!"

.

"Huh...this way, it's over for Alaska."

An ethereal and graceful figure emerged from the void, followed closely by a black card explorer named Rostov.

Lin Huai'en would be shocked if he saw the woman who appeared in front of them.

Director Xiao from the Changying Underground Association Control Department bowed his head respectfully:

"Teacher, Your Excellency Rostov."

"Xiao Ai, I have protected the person you asked me to protect."

The woman in black said calmly. She was almost in her 30s, but she had a temperament that far exceeded her age.

The bearded man named Rostov looked at the two of them, shook his head and said, "Are you so confident that he can grow into a white card?"

"According to the analysis of the control department, it is at least 30%."

Minister Xiao nodded and said without much concealment: "Although no explorer has been promoted to a white card under our theoretical model, there are already three who are approaching the 'limit'."

"Three? I remember that you counted at least more than 100,000 potential explorers..."

Rostov shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Our Moscow Association has also considered a plan similar to yours, but we concentrated the strength of the entire association and trained one million explorers with all our strength, and finally became the white card explorer. The number is zero."

"So, both us and the European side have come to a conclusion——"

"That means the white card is achieved by chance and cannot be cultivated at all."

However, Minister Xiao looked at Rostov and shook his head: "If you can't cultivate it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to cultivate it in the future - at least, before the Moscow Association, not to mention cultivating white cards, even cultivating black cards. Incredible things."

"At least as far as I know, the establishment of the Yelewe Frontline Base is related to the Million Black Card Project. Without the thousands of middle- and high-level explorers trained by the Million Black Card Project, we humans would not be able to survive on the 35th floor. The underworld takes hold."

"So I believe that as we continue to revise the explorer theory, one day we will train thousands of black card explorers or even white card explorers."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Ai, your idea is too exaggerated. Even if there are so many black card explorers, we can't find so many relics to arm them - Mr. Rostov, some of the junior's lies, let you What a joke."

President Zhou interrupted Xiao Ai’s point with a smile.

However, what surprised her was that Rostov did not feel angry, but fell into deep thought——

"She reminds me of our early days - back then, we had enough energy to come up with grand ideas that were no less ambitious than yours."

"But with the collapse of the Yelwe forward base, this all came to an end."

"I hope you can take over our will and find a way to suppress the dungeon invasion."

Rostov patted Minister Xiao on the shoulder and said with some melancholy.

.

"What happened to those men in black just now?"

Lin Huaien took a sip of the vodka handed over by Ivan. The spicy wine penetrated his intestines and made him shiver.

After returning to the woods, the group lit a bonfire after a long absence. Knowing that Heika was paying attention to them made them feel a lot more relaxed.

Although I know that judging from the previous situation, black cards should not appear under any circumstances. But at least they no longer have to worry about harassment from Catalina and black instructors.

"It should be our 'touring black card'."

Vaskov burped. No one died in this battle. It was obvious that he was very happy: "I have heard that the reason why Alaska's mercenaries can be so rampant is because of the mercenaries on their heads. There is an 'umbrella' from Europe."

"Normally, no matter how rampant the Alaska mercenaries are, without enough high-level explorer protection, we can remove them in minutes."

"But every winter, a large number of high-level explorers from Europe enter Siberia, nominally to search for treasures. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are just to monitor whether we have violated the consensus of the United Nations and used thunderous means to attack Alas Card’s mercenaries.”

"And the reason why I was able to obtain the use of Baiyang missiles this time was because they took the lead in attacking our village, extending the battle between dungeon explorers to the secular level."

"In this way, the black card explorers of the European Association cannot sit idly by - after all, according to Lin Huai'en, the woman in red named Catalina is related to the big shot in Yemo City."

"With the factual evidence of the European black cards and Alaskan mercenaries, we will be able to take the initiative in the war of words at the United Nations Underground City Committee next year."

Listening to Vaskov's analysis, Lin Wynn couldn't help but feel a little silent.

"With so many people dead, are you just taking the initiative?" Ghost squeezed the teapot in his hand, obviously not as happy as Vaskov.

"Yes, just taking the initiative." But Vaskov was worthy of being the captain. He nodded calmly: "As long as Kadchan is still a public polluted area in name, they will not admit Dreyfus's behavior and the entire continent. What does the association have to do with it?”

Vaskov raised the vodka in his hand:

"Celebrate! Boys! Without your efforts, we wouldn't even get this small victory--"

"The Parisian guy from before must have found a way to notify the mercenaries in Alaska to move ahead of time!"

.

After setting up camp for the first time in a long time, Lin Huai'en turned off the lights and lay in his sleeping bag, but he still couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open.

Just like Vaskov said.

Did they win?

Lin Huai'en doesn't think so.

Just like what he and Vaskov said, his and the military police's efforts did slightly change the balance of the battle——

It's probably like our black soldiers eating the enemy's white soldiers.

But this is not enough.

Unlike the underground city, with the crystal core provided by the country, even the black card explorer can temporarily exert some of its strength on the ground.

The only problem is that a large number of crystal nuclei are consumed every day.

Therefore, for the victory in front of him, whether he killed Siegel or he was killed by Siegel, in the end it was not as important as the black card explorer who was hiding in the dark and did not appear.

It can be said that if there had not been a two-on-one situation, the black card explorer from the Paris Association would never have given up defeat so simply, grabbed Catalina and the black instructor and ran away.

What made Lin Huaien even more concerned was the words Rostov mentioned when he left -

"President Zhou...has the Shangcheng Association intervened?"

.

"It's a joint statement."

Early the next morning, the ghost in charge of the radio station received a telegram: "The Upper City Association has decided to send fifty black card explorers to participate in the Moscow Association's winter patrol to prevent the further expansion of the pollution area in Siberia."

"There are not many high-level explorers in the Shangcheng Association, but the strength of the low-level explorers is one of the best. They have a sufficient supply of crystal cores, and the number of black cards they can stay on the ground far exceeds ours."

Vaskov quickly interpreted the meaning of this document: "Through joint patrols, the Continental Association together cannot compete with the two of us. As long as the New York Land Association does not formally participate, there will be no problem. "

"But they won't get involved either."

To Lin Huai'en's surprise, it was the female soldier Xie Lafima who said this.

The brown-eyed lady looked at the others and nodded: "The mercenaries in Alaska belong to the New York Association. They are nominally free mercenaries, so the New York Association cannot control them, but if the New York Association is also involved, the situation will It’s different.”

"Is it possible to start a world war..."

Lin Wynn nodded. Unless Alaska's mercenaries break away from the New York Association, the New York Association will never let itself be involved in the disputes in Siberia.

Throughout the dungeon's chessboard, there are many areas where each association needs to fight.

Siberia is important to the European continent, important to Moscow, and also important to the metropolis.

Only the New York Association is not important.

The New York Land Association would not be willing to work in vain for various associations in Europe.

"But considering the worst-case scenario, this possibility cannot be denied."

Vaskov shook his head and looked at Tanya aside: "Although we failed to capture the prisoner, with the certificate of Mr. Rostov, we should be able to prove Tanya's innocence——"

"And, at the very least, given our current situation, we should go back and fix it."

Vaskov raised his hand: "Let's vote. Those who want to go back and fix it will raise their hands. Those who want to help Tanya continue to search for memories will not raise their hands."

Lin Huai'en hesitated for a moment and did not raise his hand.

Tanya's expression was also very stubborn. She looked at Vaskov: "I can go back with you, but you have to promise me to let me go free, and I will look for evidence myself."

"No." However, Vaskov shook his head: "As long as you return to the city, we must lock you up unless-"

Vaskov hesitated.

"unless?"

Lin Huaien and Tanya looked at him.

"Unless we are heading not to a border city, but to a battlefield."

Vaskov thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Would you like to take a look at the fortress line on the edge of the blockade? There are enough logistics supplies there, a hospital, and rest points. I have many acquaintances there, so I should be able to get a good repair."

Lin Huaien and Tanya looked at each other——

"Okay." He nodded.
