Chapter 367: Ice and Fire
At the same time, Lian Yi, who was far away in Delta, raised his dark cheeks, picked up the towel, and wiped the sweat that was rolling down.
Delta, like Sana, had experienced war, so the regulations were somewhat loose.
It can be said to be a breeding ground for violence. More than half of the pirates in the entire Galactic Empire come from here. At the same time, it is also an excellent transit star. No one will interfere with any transactions here.
The azure sky seemed washed by water, without a single cloud in sight. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, scorching even the lightning-proof and explosion-proof particle rubber runway as if it were about to melt.
At this time the surface temperature reached fifty degrees.
The scorching temperature caused the airflow to become somewhat distorted, and from a distance, the countless aircraft carriers taking off and landing became blurred.
Delta's climate is hot all year round. Due to the high temperature, many low-level robots and electronic equipment cannot work outside without temperature control devices.
In addition, there are a lot of shady transactions here, so many places use manpower to complete the work.
Like this open-air airport, Lian Yi and several team members mingled with the locals.
His skin color had been processed, his face was dark and there were bloodshot eyes, and his appearance was not much different from that of the locals. The tight T-shirt perfectly showed off his strong body.
This type of people are the main force of life here and are the most popular group among employers.
The Cheetah team members disguised themselves as porters and discreetly identified the goods coming and going.
Delta is an important transportation hub, and materials from various planets are traded here every day.
Of course, this also includes arms.
Previously, the Federation lost four Heavenfire missiles, one of which had already been launched, and there were three left. It was highly likely that they were transferred here.
The people or companies here should have left some clues.
It was noon and the sun was so scorching that it seemed to be baking people dry.
Suddenly, the ground was filled with heat and a carrier aircraft landed.
The cabin door opened and several well-dressed men came out. They were all wearing suits. After taking a step out of the cabin door, they shrank back in disgust. They held a white and gold-thread handkerchief in their hands and kept fanning it in front of their faces in an attempt to cool down.
The man turned on the speaker, and his voice echoed throughout the area: "Helbourne is recruiting ten people to send us to Yeman City. 20,000 federal coins!"
Lian Yi looked up and rushed forward without hesitation. A shipping box, more than half a person's height, was lying across the road in front of him. He supported the box with one hand and kicked off, flipping it over neatly. His blue jeans left a trace of his silhouette.
At the same time, with a whoosh, more than thirty men rushed across the sand at an extremely fast speed.
You know, 20,000 federal coins is not a small amount. They only make a few hundred federal coins a day. If there are ten people, each person will get 2,000 on average.
This kind of thing is hard to come by, and although it is very risky, most people like to take a gamble.
“Not so much!”
The man in the suit took a step back in disgust, and randomly pointed at a few who looked more muscular. "You, you, you..."
"Alright, just the ten of you, come with us!"
After saying this, he turned around, closed the cabin door, and motioned for them to jump onto the open-top train not far away.
Lian Yi calmly gestured to the team members hiding in the crowd, then jumped onto the open-top train.
As the train started, the air currents turned into heat waves that hit our faces, adding fuel to the already hot climate.
The man in the suit seemed to truly hate the hot air, muttering, "Pah! This awful weather!"
When the train was halfway through its journey, several large hovercrafts suddenly flew towards it.
After seeing the train, the hover car not only did not slow down, but accelerated, and stopped in mid-air right in front of them.
A muscular man with a red scarf on his head and a small rocket on his shoulder sneered at them and pulled the trigger.
"Boom..." There was an explosion on the train and flames rose up.
The train driver was horrified and immediately pulled the emergency brake lever.
squeak--
The train wheels rubbed against the tracks, making a harsh sound, and the collision of metal against metal produced countless sparks in this hot weather.
Lian Yi had already rolled down during the chaos.
"Hurry up, go!" The man in the suit yelled into the radio, but he hid in the car and didn't come out.
The things in the car are important, but your life is more important.
The man in the suit contacted the headquarters in a rage.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
“Boom…Ah…”
There were sounds of explosions and screams coming from the distance. Lian Yi frowned and stared coldly at the front. Suddenly, he pulled out the short blade from his shoe, bent down, and rushed towards the hovercraft at lightning speed.
The black boots stepped on the sand, raising clouds of yellow sand.
Lian Yi narrowed his eyes and jumped up. The black figure jumped onto the hovercraft nimbly and grabbed the strong man's rocket gun.
Before he could react, a trickle of blood spurted out of his throat.
Lian Yi then rolled on the spot, approached another person from under the hovercraft, and knocked the person down with a sweeping kick.
Gulp!
The other person fell heavily to the ground with his face up.
Fighting, the smell of blood filled the air...
When all the dust settled, only a dozen or so corpses and brown sand remained on the ground.
Lian Yi knelt on one knee with the short blade stuck in the ground. Blood seeped out of his shirt, and it was unclear whether it was his or the other party's.
Having escaped death, everyone was grateful and some people tried to get closer.
Lian Yi stood up and walked to the side of the car, then sat down in the shadow of the car as if exhausted.
A dozen people all imitated his posture and sat on the ground with their backs against the carriage.
The silence, the fear, the luck of escaping death, and all the complex emotions make people want to vent.
An elderly man suddenly lit a cigarette, puffed out two puffs of smoke, and said bitterly, "Things are getting increasingly restless lately."
This sentence immediately resonated with others.
"Isn't it? It's just a Sariya who died. People die here every day, and no one seems to care."
"This is the second time I've been on the brink of death this month. The last time I went to District 56 to deliver something..."
"Hey, brother, Area 56 was destroyed a long time ago, and you managed to come back alive!"
The man sighed and said, "That's not true. Now that I think about it, the thing I gave you last time seemed quite similar to the Heavenly Fire they were talking about."
Lian Yi's pupils constricted: "Area 56..."
He handed him a cigarette and said, "Boy, you are really good at fighting. This time it's all thanks to you."
Lian Yi smiled with his white teeth bared, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to smoke. His disguised skin was covered in dark brown.
If someone saw this, they would not believe that this black man with such a simple and honest smile could be their aloof company instructor.
…
It was completely different from the dire situation he was in.
Yun Mo took an ancient culture class, Lin Fancheng played a few games of ball, Huo Chuan, Liu Yueban and others were also active in their clubs for a day, but gained nothing.
This roundabout way of saving the country is a bit inefficient. Yun Mo feels that this won't work.
