"Miss Lina, you want to come with me? Then who will do the work that Li Shuai left in Sand Castle?" Qin Che said with a smile.
Lina said, "I have already entrusted it to my subordinates, and I have also informed Li Shuai about this matter and obtained his approval. Li Shuai is also very worried about your safety and has asked me to be responsible for protecting you."
Qin Che smiled but didn't say anything.
A psionic expert trying to protect the supernatural is... pretty ridiculous.
Seeing Qin Che's expression, Lina's face darkened, quite dissatisfied. In an instant, a bright blue light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly drew an iron pipe gun from her waist and pulled the trigger, pointing it at the church door!
Bullets were spat out!
The metal gate was blown apart instantly, and the two door panels flew outwards dozens of meters, making a clanging and rattling sound!
Completely transformed!
At that moment, the entire church meeting hall fell silent.
Qin Che looked at Lina, who stylishly sheathed the iron pipe gun and said, "This is my technique, expert-level 'Machine Amplification'. I can amplify the power of even the worst handgun tenfold."
Qin Che asked, "Just weapons?"
Lina sneered, "Not only that."
This woman had been living in the Black Street for a long time, but she appeared and disappeared intermittently. Qin Che knew that she had her own job in Sand Castle and was also Li Jiuyuan's person, so he did not communicate with her often, only discussing work matters.
Because of privacy concerns, Qin Che never asked Lina what kind of magic she had awakened.
I only found out now that he was an expert in amplification of medical devices.
Qin Che smiled. "Miss Lina, you are indeed very capable, but are you sure you want to come to West Castle with me? That would be very dangerous."
Lina nodded without hesitation and said, "I was just following Li Shuai's orders."
Qin Che: "Okay, then come with me."
After packing all the supplies into her system space, Lina carried a worn-out travel bag, retrieved a Crocodile-10 rifle and several rounds of ammunition from the military camp, and set off with Qin Che.
According to Lina herself, she can use a technique to pull the trigger and increase the power of each rifle bullet to the level of a machine gun.
Dust and sand obscured the sky, dark clouds drifted in the distance, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard.
The metal-hulled vehicle drove across the desert. Qin Che put his legs on the passenger seat, put on a pair of sunglasses, looked up and took a nap, basking in the sun, his breathing steady.
Lina said, "It's actually quite rare to see rain here."
Qin Che glanced in the direction she was pointing. "It's just acid rain. Did Sandcastle have any measures in place to protect the oasis before?"
Lina said, "The oasis in the small garden is actually semi-artificial. If it encounters acid rain, the vegetation will temporarily be pulled underground to drain and store the water, because there is an underground lake under the small garden."
"It's quite troublesome."
"Only a small part of the desert gets rain occasionally, and major cities have corresponding protective measures in place."
Qin Che didn't care about environmental issues at all. It was a wasteland, so what was the point of environmental governance? Survival was the primary goal.
"Is it really as the Black Street people said, that you have awakened the technique of spatial teleportation?"
Lina said, "We had so much luggage, and you took it all. Where is it now? In a dimensional space?"
Qin Che smiled and said, "I won't tell you."
"Actually, I know a little bit too. As far as I know, what you have awakened should be the five elements of warp, telekinesis, space manipulation, force and speed, and healing. It is extremely rare for a superhuman to have multiple elements awakened like you. You should know what the consequences would be if the Number One Wall knew about this information about you..."
Qin Che laughed and said, "You investigated me?"
“There’s no need to investigate at all. Just ask any street hustler and they’ll know something. Put it all together and you’ll be pretty close to the truth. But as far as I know, Xue Lei, who first discovered you, is already dead. You’re lucky. I wanted to investigate your background, but I didn’t get anything.” Lina told the truth directly.
"Has Miss Lina ever systematically studied psionic abilities?" Qin Che asked casually.
Lina said, "I've read some books on this subject, but I'm not a systematic learner."
"Oh? Then I'll have a lot to ask you along the way," Qin Che said.
Lina rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, but in exchange, you have to tell me the purpose of this trip to Westburg."
After a moment, Qin Che used his hand as a pillow and slowly spoke: "Sha Qingsui tried to use my power to take down Yuan Lin, the grain tycoon of Xibao."
"Why?"
"It's still impossible to determine his intentions. In short, getting rid of Yuan Lin is very important to him, but it's clear that it overlaps with my goal for this trip, because I also want to get rid of Yuan Lin. Without him, it's also important to me. In terms of interests, there is no conflict between me and Sha Qingsui. Apart from not telling me the truth, he has actually given me a lot of face. This list was given to me by him."
Qin Che flipped his hand and took out a roster from the system space, handing it to Lina.
Lina shook her head: "I'm not interested in that."
"Then why are you asking me?"
Lina said, "Since Li Shuai asked me to protect you, I also have the right to know some inside information so that we can make better judgments after we arrive in Westburg and avoid getting into danger."
Qin Che laughed and said, "I am extraordinary. Once we reach West Fortress, I will be the danger."
Lina frowned and said, "Don't be too smug. The power of the Number One Wall is beyond our imagination. Given Yuan Lin's status, even if we go to West Castle, we won't be able to touch a single hair on his head."
Qin Che remained silent for a long time before telling Lina some of the current situation in Xibao.
Her expression gradually turned serious.
"So, your enemies aren't just Yuan Lin and those conservatives from Sand Castle anymore; Chen Fusheng also wants to break free from your control."
Qin Che sighed: "People strive for higher positions, just like water flows downhill. That's just how people are."
“But even if we kill Yuan Lin, what will change?” Lina said. “The grain industry in West Fortress is not just about Yuan Lin. He is just a representative figure promoted by the vested interest group. Killing one Yuan Lin will only lead to thousands more Yuan Lins behind him.”
Qin Che said, "The prospects of the synthetic starch industry are no less than those of the traditional farmland grain industry. The harsh natural environment of the desert means that we are destined to win. The grain we grow will never be enough to feed everyone, but starch will become the sharpest knife to eliminate hunger. It will form a great trend. People who have enough to eat will unite as one to overthrow the old system. This is a truth that will never change since ancient times."
“I don’t care how many Yuan Lin there are, whether it’s a thousand or ten thousand. Just like I said, it doesn’t matter to me whether he is here or not, and my steps will not be deviated because of him.”
Looking at him, Lina suddenly realized how wise Li Shuai's decision had been.
