To be honest, the difficulty of snatching data from him and destroying the satellite is not on the same level.
“But the risk of staying is huge.”
Ryan glanced at Wei Wei who was whistling non-stop, then turned his head back and said, "There's nothing we can do. Not to mention the time wasted these days, if we don't have the data, you're dead."
Ying stopped talking immediately. If she couldn't bring down her employer, she would be silenced. When they had time, the first person they would look for was Ling.
"How about I lure them away for two days?"
"Are you not afraid of risks?"
"I don't want charity, and if I die, Ling can live."
The girl replied seriously, causing Ryan to look at her sideways, but he didn't dislike this kind of personality.
"Don't worry, everything is still under my control. I said I don't want you to die, and you won't die." Ryan patted Weiwei's shoulder and asked her to drive the car into an abandoned garage.
The three of them got out of the car. Several dying old men looked at them. Ryan was handsome, and Wei Erwei and Ying were first-class beauties. They instinctively felt greedy.
Ryan was too lazy to engage in a conflict and waved his hand. Under the influence of invisible mental force, these people were stunned for a moment and turned around staggeringly.
They were given a psychological hint and returned home to pack up their belongings and flee.
Few people could catch their breath. The scenery was novel at first, but it made people drowsy after a few days. Ryan climbed onto the roof, threw the tattered parasol aside, and began to observe the terrain.
The surroundings are very empty, which is not a good thing. It is convenient for some people to observe secretly from a distance. However, the wasteland in the south is blocked by mountains.
The bare peaks were rocky and a large rift valley ran through the center. No civilized artifacts were visible and the sense of collapse energy was clear.
"The wasteland is devastated, but the Fire Moth doesn't care?"
"It's probably not worth protecting. We don't have enough manpower in the Fire Moth right now." Ying also walked up slowly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes: "Besides, that place is only full of natives who don't speak human language. They are barbaric and dangerous. Why do you want to do something that is thankless?"
"you've been to?"
"Well, Poison Pupa received a mission to infiltrate and investigate the area. They said something had fallen from the sky, but they found nothing except for killing many natives."
Something is falling from the sky? It sounds familiar.
Ryan frowned instinctively. In this ancient civilization, anything that fell from the sky was not a simple thing. Before he could think about it, he saw some blurry shadows swaying across the canyon.
"The Honkai Beast doesn't seem to have much interest in this small town. Perhaps it thinks this place is already hell, and killing these people is a relief?"
Sakura remained silent. She was an anti-human special attack specialist and had only dealt with Honkai beasts many times. However, as a killer, she had plenty of patience.
She just watched Ryan lost in thought and Vivi humming a little tune as they went in and out of the shabby houses, searching for scrap metal. She thought this was a wonderful combination.
'How did these two completely different people get mixed up together? And that Wei Weiwei doesn't look like a subordinate. Doesn't she feel any pressure from this man?'
'And he, too, trusts me so much?Let me make suggestions, and you're not afraid of making a plan to kill him? '
Ying had been confused about many things these past two days. Just then, she saw Ryan suddenly slap the table. With a loud crash, the rotten square table collapsed.
"I have already thought of a new plan."
"Wait, are you sure you want to tell me?"
"Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. I've made the interests clear to you, and I believe you're a smart person." Ryan didn't bother to talk nonsense, and simply said, "I'll let Wei Weiwei hide in this town, and you and I will go to the desert to divert the pursuers. The concentration of Honkai energy there is higher than normal, which can interfere with the 'Eye'."
"Sounds like an ideal fighting location. We can also use Honkaimon as cover. After the data is downloaded and exposed, someone will come to deal with the pursuers." Sakura nodded and pointed downstairs, where the man was putting together weird things. The girl: "There is only one question now, is she...reliable?"
It's so embarrassing. You've dragged me into this.
Ryan didn't have the guts to watch, so he could only say sullenly, "Don't worry, Wei Erwei is still very reliable at critical moments, especially she is very experienced in hiding and escaping."
"I agree that you can survive the pursuit of the poisonous pupa."
Ryan glanced at the girl and felt that she and Hua would definitely get along well. She was very methodical in her work, but her serious and cold attitude seemed to be pretended, unlike Hua's natural stiffness.
"Don't be nervous. It should be safe tonight. Take a good rest. You'll be busy tomorrow."
He didn't care about Sakura's surprised look, nor did he care about Velvet tinkering with the machine. He only looked at the Grand Canyon in the distance when he went down the stairs, showing a somewhat curious expression.
What is there over there?
Chapter 83: The Assassin's Character
Ryan found that he had made a mistake, that is, Velvet was more terrifying than the enemy.
After finally organizing my thoughts, I came down from the roof and saw Weiwei proudly introducing her latest masterpiece.
He was very interested at first, until he found out that this thing had nothing to do with combat, and was not even a tool for downloading data, it was just an... automatic barbecue machine.
It can automatically attract flying birds, then pluck, clean, and grill them all in one go. Well, it still sounds pretty cool, enough to become a sacred object in this small town. Even Ryan raised his fist for this fantastic idea and smiled gently.
Weiwei is indeed a genius, but when will she be able to understand the atmosphere?
But Weiwei kept saying that she had been eating dry food all the way and had run out of inspiration, and now she couldn't figure out how to make a signal receiver.
"Are you threatening me?" Ryan narrowed his eyes, wanting to physically annihilate the 'magician' and call out the 'self' Velvet who could communicate well with him.
"No way, I'm very honest. If I can't do it, I can't do it." Wei Wei rested her head on the back of her head, kicked the stone, and said nonchalantly: "At least the enemy will appear tomorrow. Do we still have to eat dry food today? And you said not to be nervous."
As a wanted criminal, she was used to being hunted and had mastered the skill of escaping while having fun.
Ryan thought there was some truth in what he said, while Ying gave a wry smile, recalling the unfinished chicken feet in a laboratory, which instantly caused the blood pressure of the poisonous pupae to soar.
They had killed so many people, but no one had ever been as arrogant as Velvet.
"It is precisely this kind of whimsicality that makes it difficult for people to catch her."
"What did you say?"
"I think what she said is right. You have to stay calm even at work, and this is the sense of security you bring. If we are the weaker party, she should be a killing machine."
Ryan turned his head and looked. He didn't expect Ying to stand up to smooth things over. What she said was quite nice. He didn't have any way to deal with Wei Wei anyway, so he just went with the flow.
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate of others." Ryan said casually. Seeing Ying's expression froze, he didn't wait for her to refute and simply looked at Wei Wei: "Come on, start your performance."
"Great! I've been waiting for you to say that." Wei Erwei cheered, and with her acting talent, she turned around twice on the spot, patted her chest, and set off a wave of ripples. "Then ladies and gentlemen, as the gears turn, with thunderous applause--"
She paused for a moment, but the block was already empty. The remaining two men folded their arms, stared at her expressionlessly, and pouted their lips, so she simply skipped this stage.
“Witness the magic!”
As soon as he pulled the joystick, the machine started running, and Ryan saw a magical scene:
The passenger pigeon flying in the air staggered into the huge funnel as if it was drunk, and then feathers and blood spurted out from another funnel. As the conveyor belt turned, the poor pigeon automatically entered the electric furnace, and then the seasonings that Weiwei had collected were automatically sprinkled on the meat, and then moved out by the conveyor belt.
It was a free pigeon just now, and in an instant it turned into a delicious barbecue.
Ryan's nose moved and he smelled a rich fragrance. With his knowledge, he couldn't understand the principle behind this. It was really like a magic.
Oh my god, this Weiwei is really a green-skinned person. It would be so powerful if this technology was used for the right purpose.
"Forget it. Mei will naturally take care of this kind of thing from now on."
He decided to let himself go, or rather, the source of Weiwei's strength lies in this fantastic idea. If he deleted it, it would seem unremarkable.
After waiting for a long while, he heard the electric oven make a 'ding' sound, and then Weiwei, holding the tray in one hand, passed in front of the two of them very gracefully and turned in circles on the spot.
"Can't you just eat it directly without any tricks?"
“So where’s the applause!”
Ryan licked his lips and finally decided to satisfy Weiwei's desire to perform. He thought that after all the fancy stuff, it would be good enough if the thing made from that scrap of copper and iron was edible.
clap clap.
When the applause rang out, Weiwei finally nodded with satisfaction and opened the lid, revealing the golden roasted pigeon inside. Then Ying took the dagger from the leg ring and cut off the two wings.
She opened her mouth, ate a piece carefully, and then met Ryan's eyes, who was also shocked.
Wow, it smells really good!
This thing is full of an industrial aroma, and everything from the heat to the taste is standard. Although it is not amazing, it can be called "delicious" from any angle.
"I like your expressions. It proves that this performance was very successful. Please feel free to give us a round of applause." Weiwei was very proud. This was exactly the effect she wanted. All the limelight had been stolen by Ryan.
clap clap.
This time the applause was a little louder, but Ryan's eyes were full of regret. If Vivi had been more serious, her achievements would not be lower than Mei's.
"Very good, I also welcome you to challenge CGMF-311."
"Wait, what is this?"
"It's an oven, of course. That's too plain a name. How about 'Pigeon Chasing Fire'?"
God damn, Fire Chasing Pigeon, aren’t you afraid that Fire Chasing Moth will come after you? And this guy is getting more aggressive, do you want to suppress him?
Ryan was thinking, and Sakura next to him had already stood up. Only some bones that had been gnawed clean were left on the ground.
"Let me challenge you, Vivi."
"Oh? You, a killer, actually dare to challenge me on such a matter?"
To be honest, Wei Erwei is very good at messing with people. Ying stood there coldly, raising her eyebrows.
"Please don't be too confident and don't think too much. I'm just returning the favor."
I was wondering why you suddenly got so excited. It turns out you still don't want to owe anyone favors. Maybe you have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Ryan didn't know what to say. Let's wait for her to go so that Velvi wouldn't bother him. This woman was more annoying than Mebius in some aspects, at least coercion and inducement were useless.
So he watched Ying build a stove, light the thorns she had picked up, and then take out another baby pigeon from the "Pigeon Chasing Fire", pluck its feathers, clean it, and slowly roast it over the fire.
Compared with the cold machine, she was not very efficient, her movements were careful and slow, and she did not have the slightly exaggerated movements of Weiwei. As he watched, he finally understood the biggest difference between Ying and Hua.
One is quiet, the other is dull.
The so-called quiet as a virgin and as active as a stripped rabbit probably refers to her, which is interesting.
Ryan held his head, but there was always something he couldn't vomit. It seemed that his "escape journey" had also become weird. The group of pursuers didn't know if they would vomit blood when they saw this scene.
But how can I put it, this seems to be more interesting compared to the monotonous journey of 'killing people, rescuing people, and killing people again'.
He wasn't trembling either. The battle to the death with the Third Herrscher was still in his mind. If he could choose, he would never experience that life-and-death feeling again in his life. Unfortunately, the Herrscher was not as easy to talk to as Poison Chrysalis.
At least this feeling is not bad, as if I have returned to the original intention of raising birds and watching the sun.
With a self-deprecating smile, Ryan's attention was attracted by the fragrance in front of him again. Ying had silently walked up to him and picked up the pigeon that was pierced by a wooden stick.
“Please try it.”
It was very polite, but without any more emotion. Ryan didn't care. He picked it up and took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
