Chapter 214 The Mad Ralu, Long Time No See
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Qing quickly dismantled the pipes and wiring without alerting Laru on the island.
Soon, a passage appeared on the originally solid road surface.
Under Chen Qing's command, the group entered the underground passage one by one.
The underground of Parthia Island is inhabited by the lowest-ranking humans on the island.
However, the underground sewers on this island are not like those in Chen Qing's previous world.
The sewers of Parti Island are narrow and cramped, filled with an indescribable odor, and completely devoid of light.
When Chen Qing and the others entered the sewer, they all had to duck their heads.
This clearly demonstrates the poor living conditions here.
"...While rulers in other places may also be incompetent, they are truly incompetent to this extent..."
Matthew's lips twitched slightly as he muttered a complaint.
Both places treat people like dirt, but other places don't even allow people to see the sunlight.
There wasn't even enough space for someone to stand up straight.
The survivors at the very back of the group exchanged glances. Mingmeng suddenly turned around and looked at them, his smile enigmatic.
The purpose of this group of sea wanderers is something worth pondering.
They had been memorizing the route since they entered the island, but these people did not seem to be from the same organization.
"They all treat people like dirt, there's no difference."
Shuangwei shrugged. Although she was complaining, she had no intention of getting involved in the matter.
The commoners living on the territory of the Dlugu family are destined to be more miserable than people in other places.
Their inhumanity is not only reflected in this aspect.
Even the common people of the impoverished Three Seas have a chance to rise above their circumstances, but the common people here are destined to be slaves of the Dlugu family for their entire lives.
Shuangwei and the others only sighed a bit and chatted for a couple of minutes before stopping.
Led by Chen Qing, the group traversed a narrow passage, avoiding the human settlements of the Parti Islands, and it took them quite some time to reach the underground entrance of the Laru Manor.
Despite the poor condition of the human settlements here, the area is quite large and the terrain is complex and varied.
"How did you manage to find this place so accurately, given how long the journey is?"
One of the survivors looked at the gate in front of him and asked with a sigh.
Along the way, he thought they were going to get into a dead end many times, but Chen Qing always managed to lead them to the right and most convenient path.
Even if there is no road, she can create one out of thin air.
"I think I have a pretty good memory."
Chen Qing casually replied that she, Barbara, and another mechanic were dismantling the door.
The door must be opened without alerting Laru.
It doesn't matter if we disturb Laru, he's no good.
The problem is that if Laru is alerted, he might inform the other members of the Drugu family, which would be detrimental to their plans.
"And don't underestimate the people here."
Chen Qing's lips curled up slightly. The humans of Parti Island were indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
Compared to the apathetic civilians outside, the people of Parti Island are quite rebellious.
Lalu's proud mechanical city has been secretly tampered with by them.
Chen Qing was still unsure about the city above, but they had already invaded many parts of this underground world.
Although their methods were somewhat immature, the fact that they were able to deceive Laru under his blockade and oppression was enough to demonstrate their determination and talent.
Given time, they will probably completely take over the mechanical city of Laru.
"Crack—"
As the group was chatting, they suddenly heard a dull thud, and Chen Qing and the other two had opened the door.
"As expected, we still need to bring the mechanic along!"
Shuangwei's eyes were very bright; her decision was absolutely brilliant.
It's remarkable that she immediately went to invite Chen Qing upon hearing that he had arrived in the Faroe Islands, even though Chen Qing's purpose was what Fei Huo had calculated.
Look at how fast this is! It saves them so much trouble!
The heavy mechanical door was opened, and Chen Qing and the other two stood at the front, with rows of dark gun barrels pointed at them. The people behind them immediately assumed defensive postures.
"It's alright, they won't attack us."
Chen Qing calmly stepped forward and began to examine the area.
These must be Laru's defensive measures; it's an obvious trap. Anyone who enters the manor from here, friend or foe, will be instantly blasted into dust.
Unfortunately, the system was hacked by Chen Qing.
These guns and cannons are all B-grade weaponry produced by the Delugu family: superconducting cannons, aurora heat guns, storm firearms, and more...
These are all good things.
The three mechanics worked together seamlessly to dismantle the weapons; whether they used them themselves or sold them, it would be a good outcome.
Seeing the way Chen Qing and the other two were acting, Shuang Wei and the others realized that these were good things.
However, they weren't mechanics, and their direct attempts resulted in the same mess they had made before, just like what happened to Shangjia and the others.
"Come here, I'll teach you."
As Chen Qing quickly disassembled these items, he spoke to Shuang Wei and the others.
There are so many good things in this mechanical city that Chen Qing and her two companions definitely can't dismantle them all and can't take them all with them.
Why not teach Shuangwei and the others? At least they are allies now, and with mutual support, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Okay, okay."
The group immediately stepped forward to examine Chen Qing's technique and explanation.
"Isn't it a bit of a waste to just tear it down like this..."
One of the survivors muttered something under his breath, and everyone heard it.
What are you regretting?
Scarlet Flame glanced at him and asked coldly.
It would be a pity to demolish it, so who do they want to keep it for?
Scarlet Fire doesn't mind some people taking advantage of them, but sacrificing their interests is absolutely out of the question.
Most of these people were brought by Matthew and Kinmura, because it was with their guarantees that Hibiki agreed.
But now it seems that these people are rather clueless.
She wouldn't mind letting them stop here.
The term "Scarlet Fire" refers to the combination of Matthew and Kinki.
The survivor immediately fell silent after being looked at by Scarlet Flame.
He secretly regretted it; how could he have said that?
This is unbelievable! He was definitely thinking it in his mind.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, but given the current situation, he dared not utter a word.
After much difficulty, we finally made contact with these native residents and found a suitable island.
For these survivors, while the red and blue teams are important, some other teams are even more important to them.
For example, national stance.
Chen Qing's cold voice echoed in the passage. She carefully explained the techniques to Fei Huo and the others. A group of unidentified followers followed them from a distance and also heard Chen Qing's instructions.
For the native inhabitants of the Parti Islands, who had never received systematic training, Chen Qing's teachings dispelled many of the mysteries surrounding mechanics.
However, Chen Qing's teachings did not last long, since what mattered most to them was still stealing Laru's money.
After dismantling all the guns and cannons on both sides of the passage, Chen Qing and the others continued to advance towards the manor.
Those little tails stopped following them; they dared not enter Laru's manor.
Laru had set up many defensive measures, but unfortunately, they were completely ineffective against Chen Qing and his two companions.
Especially with Chen Qing being such a major plot hole.
Since Chen Qing's mental strength reached C-level, she has become much more adept at hacking into machines.
Although Barbara and her companion cannot hack into machines, they are still skilled mechanics, and Laru may not be stronger than them.
As a mechanic with a legitimate lineage, Chen Qing may not necessarily be better than them in some aspects.
With the efforts of the three, the group made their way through the Laru Manor without any obstacles.
Their space was completely filled with props, and many of them couldn't fit in.
At this moment, Chen Qing's Wind Shadow Jade came in handy.
The Parthi Islands have underground rivers that connect to the nearby sea, allowing the Wind Shadow Emerald to enter the islands unimpeded.
However, now is not the time to send the Windshadow Emerald into the Parti Islands.
Chen Qing directly had the mechanical creations she had invaded and controlled help transport supplies. It has to be said that Laru was really good to these machines; many of them had spatial items on them.
"With all these mechanical creations so heavily armed, how could there possibly be any money in the vault?"
Neither of them uttered a soul-searching question.
Laru's island is unproductive and has few caravans, making it the weakest and poorest.
"These machines alone are enough for us to make a fortune."
Mingmeng stood on a humanoid mecha and said with a grin.
Sell them to those drifters at sea; they need them most—they are rich, generous, and lack resources.
Especially those with spatial properties, they are very popular even when sold to chambers of commerce.
"Too."
Shuang Wei nodded, but there was still a need to ship the goods, which was a bit troublesome.
The deeper Chen Qing went into Laru's manor, the more precious the materials Laru used became.
At the same time, mechanization becomes more and more severe.
The group continued walking until they reached a passageway. Chen Qing stopped, took out his tools again, and prepared to pry open the floorboards.
Barbara and another mechanic were on the other side, monitoring the situation above.
This place is now within Laru's defensive range; it won't be so easy for him to enter the manor without alerting him and causing damage.
Chen Qing took out the equipment she was carrying and connected it to the lines in the passage to obtain data information about the manor.
A large number of symbols and texts flashed past everyone's eyes. Chen Qing was multitasking, prying open the floorboards while analyzing the data.
Suddenly, Chen Qing stopped moving abruptly as a string of characters flashed across the screen.
"What's wrong?"
Scarlet Fire frowned, wondering if something was amiss.
"...Split up, attack!"
Chen Qing immediately packed up all the equipment and tools, drew the black knife from his waist, aimed it at the floor above, and launched a sudden attack!
"What?!"
Shuangwei and the others were startled. Although they didn't know what had happened, they still listened to Chen Qing.
Everyone aimed their weapons at the ceiling of the passageway and launched a swift attack.
The violent attack damaged the wiring in the corridor ceiling, causing sparks and a very loud noise to erupt.
As Chen Qing finished speaking, the already narrow passage began to shrink! The sense of urgency was palpable!
Chen Qing grabbed the opening in the ceiling with his palm, the muscles in his arms bulging slightly. With a push of his arm, he immediately jumped up and appeared in Laru's manor.
The opening was too small, and she inevitably sustained some injuries.
Having been baptized by the Half-Skull Curse, Chen Qing recovered from this simple external injury very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the flesh that had been scraped off his arms and thighs had healed, leaving only shallow abrasions.
What exactly is going on?
Shuangwei and the others moved quickly, entering the manor through the underground passage one by one.
All the survivors escaped, but they were in a worse state than Shuangwei and the others.
A heavy thud echoed from inside the underground passage.
"He transformed himself into an estate."
Chen Qing looked warily at the empty, silvery-white walls around him as he explained.
Laru is this manor, and the manor is Laru.
"So...we're inside Raru's body now?"
Mingmeng frowned, crossed her arms, and goosebumps rose on her arms. How disgusting.
"You got it right, Chen Qing, you're so smart! I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."
A cold male voice suddenly appeared in the empty, silvery-white space.
"Laru".
A flicker of disgust crossed Barbara's eyes; she recognized Ralu's voice.
Unexpectedly, when they met again this time, Laru had completely abandoned his human form and integrated himself into a manor. What is his next step? To upgrade into a city?
"Chen Qing, how about joining the Delugu family?"
"We will give you the best treatment; you can have whatever you want."
“We are a better fit for you than those useless members of the Barbara family.”
Laru's voice was omnipresent, extending an invitation to Chen Qing.
"You just want a mechanic, don't you?"
Chen Qing held the knife, its blade gleaming coldly.
This knife is no longer suitable for her; she needs to get a better one.
"I don't deny it."
"Chen Qing, if it's just you, you won't be able to deal with the Red Serpent family."
"If you kill Akashi Hikaru, the Akashi family will fight you to the death."
"Only the Delugu family can protect you, and only the Delugu family is willing to help you deal with the Red Serpent family. How about we join forces to eliminate the Red Serpent family?"
Laru knew very well about the feud between Chen Qing and the Red Serpent family; he had been watching Chen Qing for a long time.
Just as Chen Qing said, he wanted Chen Qing to become his personal mechanic.
Obsessed with machines, Raru wants to continue evolving, to keep evolving forever.
But he couldn't do it.
He needs a skilled mechanic.
"Not good."
Chen Qing lowered his eyes and coldly rejected Laru's suggestion.
The Dlugu family are all madmen, and extremely uncontrollable madmen at that. No one can figure out what's going on in their heads, and no one can predict what they want to do.
They currently belong to the blue team, but perhaps in the next second, they will defect to the red team.
That's a real shame.
Despite saying that, Laru's tone showed no hint of regret.
Several voices suddenly appeared in the previously empty room.
"It really is like... searching high and low without finding it."
Chen Qing's lips curled up slightly, his gaze fixed on the several figures in front of him.
Cross...
It's been such a long time!
