It was nighttime on the western outskirts of Celestial Ring.
Not only was the darkness man-made, but it was also created on purpose.
Long before the reinforcements of the Sky Wolf Army arrived, King of Nightmares had already messed with the main system. Not only did he weaken the power supply to the ground, but he also set the ground environment to "Primary Adverse".
Now, the ground would experience darkness for 240 hours. The temperature would drop to 0 ° C, the wind would be level 6, and the oxygen level would be 10%. An ordinary person would feel cold, short of breath, and have difficulty walking in this environment.
After all, most of the mercenaries in the Sky Wolf Army were ordinary people. King of Nightmares did this because he wanted to take advantage of the darkness and take advantage of the situation.
Although the commander was an ordinary person, his physical fitness had always been good. He could barely walk while carrying Yan Jie.
On the other hand, the four-eyed man was unlucky. He didn't meet anyone along the way, so naturally, he didn't have any clothes to wear. Even though he was a Primary Warrior, it was still unbearably cold to walk in this level 6 wind.
The night sea breeze was like a knife cutting through flesh. Dai Yi and the others were all wearing thick mercenary uniforms. Only the four-eyed man was leading the way naked. However, it was not hard to imagine that this group of people couldn't move quickly. After all, the commander had to walk and rest.
"Hairy, take off your clothes and give them to me. I'm cold." The four-eyed man shrunk his neck.
Hairy pulled the zipper of his uniform almost to his chin. "I'm cold too. Do you think you're the only one?"
"F * ck you, I'm not wearing any clothes. Are you blind?" The four-eyed man was furious.
Hairy exhaled a white breath and rubbed his hands. "Actually, it's better not to wear clothes in this weather."
The four-eyed man glared at him. "What kind of logic is that?"
Hairy smiled mysteriously. "Do you know what I want to do now?"
The four-eyed man rolled his eyes. "Pee, poop, pretend to be asleep, and pretend to be drunk. Do you know anything else other than these four?"
Hairy chuckled. "Actually, I want to pee right now."
The four-eyed man said, "F * ck you, it's so cold."
Hairy smiled even more mysteriously. "That's right. Haven't you noticed?
I want to pee with my clothes on, but you don't want to pee with nothing on. Why is that? "
Four-eyes was stunned. That seemed to be the case. He asked curiously, "Why?"
Maozi laughed and said, "Because it's cold, your lower body is frozen, so you naturally don't want to pee. But once your body warms up, your blood circulation speeds up and you want to pee. Now that there's a woman behind you, it's not very elegant to pee in front of you. Four-eyes, I'm also thinking for you and don't want to ruin your image. You let me pee while I'm warm, but you don't need to pee. Look at how loyal we brothers are.
The four-eyed man lowered his head and pondered. Eh, what this brat said made a bit of sense. When the weather was cold, people wouldn't want to pee.
Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong. When he looked up again, the Russian had already slipped away without a trace. The four-eyed man was so angry that he started cursing, "Motherf * cker, leave some clothes for me before you leave. What the f * ck are you loyal to …"
Maozie's escape was not entirely because he needed to pee, but because he had already discovered the hiding spot of the spaceship.
In a stone forest on the beach, between a few ugly giant rocks, a brown Blazing Shark spaceship was quietly parked there.
To be honest, this spaceship was even more dilapidated than Sleman's Blazing Shark. They were both modified goods, and Sleman's spaceship had at least a few ion drives added to it. However, Nightmare's Blazing Shark, if it could be described, was like a pair of worn-out pants that had been patched up quite a bit. Some parts of the outer steel plate were rusted, and the rust was actually dark green.
However, it was precisely because of this degree of tattered state and the similarity of the surrounding environment that as long as the engine was not activated, it would be extremely difficult for Meteor City's reconnaissance radar to discover it. This was also the last card that Nightmare had left for himself. If he really couldn't get any benefits and was at the end of his rope, then he would just fly the ship and leave.
Four-eyes walked up and was dumbfounded. "F * ck, is this a spaceship or a fishing boat?"
He looked like he was about to reach out and touch the dark green moss, but he was quickly stopped by Nightmare, who had followed behind him. "Don't touch it, it's poisonous!"
Four-eyes was so scared that he quickly retreated. Maozie did not believe him. "Really?"
Nightmare said, "Look at the ground."
The two of them lowered their heads and took a closer look. On the sand around the spaceship, there was a messy pile of fish corpses. There were also many seagulls' corpses. However, the smell they emitted wasn't the smell of fish, but rather the faint fragrance of daffodils.
The two were not stupid. They immediately realized that the dark green moss on the outer steel plate of the spaceship was indeed highly toxic. These small fish had all died from the poison, and the seagulls that had flown over to eat the fish had also been poisoned to death.
Nightmare walked forward and threw a small crystal bottle to Four-eyes. "Eat the antidote inside. You two are Warriors, but you'll still be poisoned if you stay here for too long."
Four-eyes and Maozie were so scared that their faces turned pale. The two immediately opened the small bottle and fought to swallow the pills.
The marshal had also caught up. He looked at the Blazing Shark and said quietly, "I didn't expect to see the legendary Venomous Ghost Ship here."
Nightmare glanced at him. "You're not much of a person, but you have good taste."
"Venomous Ghost Ship?" Dai Yi was a little curious. This term was very refreshing to her.
She stayed in the Federation all year round, so she naturally did not know about these strange things in outer space. With the technological development of the Holy Grail Federation, there was no need for a Venomous Ghost Ship, so the citizens of the Federation had no concept of this kind of ship at all.
Take this ship as an example. On the surface, it looked like a very ordinary Blazing Shark, but in fact, it was not. Its outer alloy layer had been tempered with poison.
On some planets, abnormally powerful poisonous plants grew. Ordinary spaceships could not fly in at all. Those powerful poisons could not only corrode steel plates, but also produce terrifying effects such as devouring, parasitism, and reproduction. Even the powerful Songqing spaceships did not dare to test the poisons easily.
However, the modified Venomous Ghost Ship did not have to worry about this problem. Of course, with the endless defensive means of the large starships of the Holy Grail Federation, there was naturally no need to worry.
The Venomous Ghost Ship also had an advantage. The crystal source in its power furnace could also be fused with poison, because poison was also a kind of energy. Poison could also provide kinetic energy, but how to fuse the two was not something that ordinary people could research.
In fact, the spaceships of the Devouring World also used this principle, but most of the spaceships in the Devouring World were not made of alloy.
Therefore, the Venomous Ghost Ship was also a unique existence in outer space. It could often sneak through the poisonous planets full of mutated creatures. It could come and go freely in places where large starships, even Songqing spaceships, could not go. In addition, it was often elusive. Over time, the name of the Venomous Ghost Ship was spread.
Hearing this explanation, Dai Yi's eyes were opened.
The marshal sighed. "It is said that in the war between the Federation and the Devouring World many years ago, this kind of spaceship made a great contribution. The strange thing is that very few people know about it. After that, it basically disappeared. I only saw it once eight years ago."
The King of Nightmares snorted. "You know quite a lot."
As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the external steel plate. An extremely thin red light shot out from the needle above the slot, as if it was scanning his iris. After the authentication was completed, the dark green moss on the surface of the Blazing Shark slowly disappeared, revealing the original grayish-black color of the spaceship.
At this time, the giant steel plate on the Blazing Shark's side wing slowly lowered, finally revealing the entrance of the connecting cabin.
The King of Nightmares sighed softly. "Let's wait until Mr. Ting meets up before we board the ship."
Dai Yi was now curious about the marshal. "Commander Hu, Cousin Ding Meng said that he used to be a laborer under you and almost died in your hands.
Is that true? "
Her question really made the marshal nervous, but he could only sigh honestly. "Yes, it's my fault for being greedy."
He really had to answer honestly. Putting aside Dai Yi's identity, if he wanted to leave Meteor City alive, his only hope was Ding Meng. He was already very lucky that Ding Meng did not kill him before.
Although Ding Meng didn't do it before, it didn't mean that Ding Meng would let him go. The grudges of Black Gold Base couldn't be settled with just a few words. Little Four was killed by the surprise attack army, and the 8th regiment of the surprise attack army also died because of Ding Meng.
Half a year ago, the marshal wanted nothing more than to tear Ding Meng into pieces. But now, if he could be forgiven if he knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Meng, he would kneel down without hesitation. This was not because he was afraid of death, but because he knew a terrible fact. Ding Meng was no longer someone that he dared to mess with. The entire raider regiment did not dare to mess with him, and it was very likely that the Celestial Wolf Regiment was no longer the same.
The marshal saw it with his own eyes. Ren Zhan, Ren Tu, and Jia Mao were all defeated by Ding Meng in half a minute. Which regiment would dare to offend such a person?
Dai Yi stared at the marshal. "You want to kill him because of money?"
The marshal did not dare to say the words "K virus" even if he was beaten to death. He knew how deadly that thing was. If he wanted to live, some things could only rot in his stomach for the rest of his life. He could not even think about it, so he could only let out a long sigh.
"If he wants my life now, I have nothing to say. I wanted to touch him in the past, but I didn't expect that he would save me today. If he really wants to kill me, it's only right."
Next to him, King of Nightmares sneered disdainfully. "Yes, some people are alive, but they're already dead. Some people are dead, but they should have died long ago. You're acting all noble. You can fool young girls, but don't play tricks in front of me."
The marshal frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
King of Nightmares was even more disdainful. He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand in front of the marshal. "Stop pretending. Take it out. Otherwise, Mr Ting won't bother to kill you. I'm willing to do it for him. I believe he won't blame me for killing a thief."
The marshal was silent, and his expression seemed to be hesitating.
Seeing the marshal's fearless expression, King of Nightmares suddenly became a little angry. He said sternly, "When it comes to stealing, I'm your boss. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you right away. When it comes to stealing, I'm your ancestor. When it comes to stealing, you won't have any temper at all. Do you want me to rob you myself?"
The marshal curled his lips. Even if he was very unwilling, he could not do anything. It might have been better if he was threatened by Ding Meng, but everyone knew the consequences of being threatened by King of Nightmares. That was to make sure that there were no consequences to speak of. You would not be a human, nor a ghost, and you would not be able to die even if you wanted to.
The marshal took off his backpack and reluctantly handed it to King of Nightmares. "How did you know?"
King of Nightmares rolled his eyes at him. "You're a retard. Do you think you're lucky to have survived until now?
If I didn't let you into the energy warehouse, would you have been able to steal these things? "
The marshal sighed and did not answer. However, the expression on his face was as if he had been cut off dozens of pounds of flesh.
