If Xiaoyu hadn't reminded him, Lin Xu would have really forgotten about that group of bounty hunters.
He's now hunting down that group of people, because those island territories still have some value.
As for the bounty hunter's own facilities and equipment, they were practically trash to him.
However, if these bounty hunters continue to exist, they will indeed continue to pollute the public chat environment.
If that group keeps trying to ambush him, they can easily crowd out the chat space of those who actually want to give the coordinates of the Golden Ruins.
So, since we have the opportunity to take down this group, we can't afford to waste it.
Lin Xu looked at Xiao Yu:
"Now come with me to install the higher-model turboprop. Once the facilities are ready, we'll set off to hunt down those scumbags!"
Xiaoyu nodded:
"Understood, Master!"
The two began to move.
Now the island has grown in size and its shape is no longer a long, thin strip, but rather a cylindrical shape with some width.
Turbine propellers are not suitable for installation in only one direction; they need to be installed on all four sides of the island.
Moreover, as the island's area increases, more power is needed for acceleration, requiring the turboprop to continue to be enhanced in efficiency.
In addition, the island's heavy artillery also needs to be redeployed.
The heavy artillery Lin Xu is currently using is not mounted on the island itself, but rather on a floating base.
Although the base has limited defensive capabilities, it is easily damaged if hit.
However, with the base for control, the heavy machine gun can fly around and fire freely according to Xiaoyu's needs.
The island is too large, and if the heavy artillery is placed normally, it will be impossible to cover every firing angle. Therefore, this arrangement method can only be used temporarily.
After the heavy artillery production line has been operating for a period of time and the number of heavy artillery pieces has accumulated, the deployment of heavy artillery can be restored to normal.
According to Lin Xu's plan, the island will eventually be surrounded by heavy artillery emplacements and rotating machine gun emplacements at various angles.
Then we can set up a three-dimensional defense and offense system to fully utilize Xiaoyu's superb control abilities.
However, to achieve this, production will need to continue for some time. In addition, some heavy artillery materials have only been obtained from Chen Shaojie, so unlimited production is not yet possible.
These issues still need to be addressed later.
Although there is still much to be done, Lin Xu has indeed improved the island's combat capabilities. After he and Xiao Yu quickly processed the turbine propellers, they placed the equipment on all four sides of the island.
Half a day later, Lin Xu stood on the island's observation platform, using binoculars to gaze at a distant island.
He had been chasing those bounty hunters for almost half a day.
Currently, almost all the hunters have been killed, and only this island is the last one left. As long as this island is taken down, the island lords who ambushed and besieged him will be completely wiped out.
However, after glancing at the island ahead, Lin Xu opened the island owner's chat channel, where a series of insults and slanders were being displayed.
It was the last island lord who was repeatedly saying that Lin Xu was cruel and shameless, luring them, these bounty hunters, to a place and then surrounding and killing them.
Lin Xu's actions make him a scoundrel among the common people, and everyone should eliminate and kill him.
Speaking of which, Lin Xu knew this island owner; he was Wang Lei, the one who had called him "Grandpa" three times before.
Unexpectedly, the two were quite destined to meet. This time, the trap to kill the bounty hunter not only brought out Wang Lei, but also made him the last survivor.
At this point, Wang Lei's words became increasingly heated, and he began to fabricate various incidents involving Lin Xu, saying that he had bullied ordinary people in the past and bullied his classmates in various ways because of his excellent grades.
The man's words were filled with resentment, as if he had a blood feud with Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was speechless as he looked at Wang Lei's various excuses.
During the half-day chase, he took down bounty hunters along the way.
At first, those people were only concerned with escaping, but gradually they found that their accomplices were decreasing little by little.
Then the group of people started to get scared.
They started privately messaging Lin Xu to beg for mercy, but when that failed, they turned around and threatened him, saying they would ruin his reputation.
Because Lin Xu continued his relentless pursuit, these people started stirring up trouble in the public chat, and some even tried to take pictures of Lin Xu's island to expose his strength to others.
At that time, Lin Xu noticed that when the group of bounty hunters spoke, a group of people immediately responded in the public channel.
These people intentionally or unintentionally guided the bounty hunters to continue smearing Lin Xu, and stirred up trouble in public opinion, trying to portray Lin Xu as a ruthless and extremely dangerous thug who indiscriminately killed innocent people.
Many people in the crowd were influenced by these individuals and began to question Lin Xu's actions.
Lin Xu observed those who were secretly stirring things up and confirmed that they were all lackeys of the nobility.
Their current actions are inseparable from the suggestions of those nobles.
It seems that the nobles' revenge has come after they revealed the truth about the golden ruins.
Their first step in targeting talented ordinary people is usually to ruin their reputation and leave them completely isolated and helpless.
It's unclear whether this group can contact the resurrected Chen Shaojie, or how much they know about the previous battle.
Lin Xu didn't originally care much about his reputation.
However, if he allows these people to slander him, the discoverer of the golden ruins may stop contacting him, making it difficult for him to find more ruins and putting him in a passive position.
However, before Lin Xu could take any action himself, a group of people suddenly appeared in the public chat and started speaking up for him.
These people claimed to have received help from Lin Xu's organization and had traded with Lin Xu using the coordinates of the Golden Ruins, receiving considerable benefits in return.
They were all commoner lords, and there were quite a few of them. Many people were willing to believe what these people said.
Lin Xu was looking at it strangely when he received a private message from the class monitor.
It turns out that the classmates he sent out were not only searching for the golden ruins on their own, but were also contacting other people to obtain the coordinates through transactions.
These people used the inferior equipment and facilities that Lin Xutao had replaced as bargaining chips to trade with other people.
Moreover, Lin Xu had previously given each of these students a batch of the most ordinary kind of peaches, each peach being able to extend the lifespan of an ordinary person by one year.
These students were also willing to part with such precious treasures, and they also took out peaches to trade for coordinates.
As a result, these students contacted many people and gave many people benefits.
At this point, public opinion began to attack Lin Xu, and immediately this group of people spoke up to defend Lin Xu.
Lin Xu didn't expect those classmates to be so capable; they only spent a little bit of resources to gain such an advantage in public opinion.
So now the public channel is in complete chaos, with people attacking Lin Xu and people defending Lin Xu all mixed up.
However, Lin Xu's reputation was not fatally damaged, and many people were still willing to contact him and trade coordinates with him.
Especially after some island owners shared the benefits they received from Lin Xu, even more island owners were willing to take the initiative to contact Lin Xu.
As for the nobles, some island lords were originally more willing to trade with them, but all the island lords who had previously traded with the nobles have now mysteriously disappeared without a word.
As a result, many island lords gradually realized something was wrong and became less willing to continue contacting the nobles.
