Chapter 47 Are they together? (づ￣3￣)づ╭……
On the way to the lower city, Lin Zhi also received Lan Heng's preliminary investigation report.
Lan Heng obtained the battleship's owner's fingerprint and matched it with the Alliance's wanted criminal, Simon Gabi, the younger brother of the former pirate leader. Apparently, since Lin Zhi's assassination of the pirate leader, Simon has been in charge of the pirates, issuing most of the authority and commands within the main ship.
Then the technicians deciphered the system of the pirates' main battleship and found some basic navigation data. As the Alliance forces expected, they were indeed defeated by Lin Zhi before, so they had been docking here and there to look for energy to support the battleship and mecha.
Judging from the data, they don't have much energy left, and their only main ship has been destroyed by the Allied forces.
It is true that they do not pose any great threat, but these desperate star pirates are all very skilled. The marshal has already dispatched more troops from the imperial city to the desolate planet.
Not only that, more soldiers will have to be stationed on the transport routes.
Lin Zhi rubbed his temples, turned off Lan Heng's report, and talked to Adolf in the aircraft all the way.
Lu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi who was working with his chin in his hand, bored. There was nothing he could do to help, so he simply gave Lin Zhi... a waist massage.
After the call finally ended, Lu Yuan asked, "Did you find out which reporter leaked the information?"
"It will take some time." Lin Zhi shook his head.
At this moment, the aircraft has arrived at its destination. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar downtown area in front of him, Lin Zhi was filled with emotion.
I didn't expect that I would set foot in the Lower City again as Lin Zhi, and with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan said, "The underground city's defense base is on the outskirts of the city. I'll take you for a tour."
It is said to be a defense base, but in fact it is a military camp, and it is also where Lu Yuan trains his troops.
Not to mention that the military camp was only there to avoid the fear of the upper city, but in fact the lower city had been quietly... or perhaps defying the law to raise troops for self-defense.
Lu Yuan controlled the aircraft and took Lin Zhi over the outskirts of the city.
He had informed the camp guards in advance, so after the scan, the instruments and missiles no longer aimed at them.
Lin Zhi took a look and said, "Very perfect."
It is no worse than the Allied Forces. It is incredible that Lu Yuan can develop to this level.
It is also possible that Lu Yuan himself is proficient in equipment, so he is able to use the most basic equipment and a limited budget to create the most elite weapons.
"For a while, those bastards of the powerful cut off the economic resources of the Lower Town." Lu Yuan shook his head. "But we did meet a sponsor, Mr. X. Speaking of which..."
Lu Yuan turned to look at Lin Zhi, "Mr. X should be from the upper city... Do you know him?"
Lin Zhi paused.
He showed no emotion at all and pretended not to know Mr. X.
Since the cooperation between the upper and lower urban areas, there is no need for Mr. X to provide funding. Lin Zhi feels that since he has already left the stage of history and will not appear again in the future, there is no need to let Lu Yuan know, lest this person think too much and ask him to repay the favor.
Lin Zhi still remembers that it was the same when they were young.
Lu Yuan didn't have much money at that time, but Lin Zhi had the most.
Therefore, Lin Zhi often gave Lu Yuan inhibitors, textbooks, and training equipment, but Lu Yuan always kept a careful account of the expenses and worked hard to repair the mechas and sell them to pay himself back.
Lin Zhi found it really strange. Lu Yuan seemed to be nonchalant and carefree, but he was very clear about this aspect.
So when asking Lu Yuan to mark and cover Luo Xing, Lin Zhi kept increasing the stakes, wanting to see how this guy would react.
As a result, Lu Yuan accepted the money well.
Lu Yuan also felt at ease accepting Mr. X's funding.
So... is this just a calculation targeting Lin Zhi?
Lin Zhi had a blank expression on his face. "I don't know. You can check."
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and frowned slightly, "You really don't know?"
Lin Zhi asked back, "Someone is secretly funding the Lower City and you. How would I know?"
"Too."
Lu Yuan spread his hands. If Lin Zhi hated him, he probably wouldn't tell him. Besides, this behavior would be considered a betrayal of Shangcheng District in the past.
Perhaps no one had ever thought that the two cities would cooperate one day.
Lu Yuan glanced at the situation below the aircraft for Lin Zhi, then clicked on a defense map on the terminal. "This isn't too detailed, it just roughly marks the location and strength of the troops. Anything too detailed is considered confidential in the Lower City area, so I can't show it to you."
After a brief discussion between the two, Lu Yuan decided to let Black Shadow take a small team to guard the outskirts of the lower city, and be ready to go to the desolate planet for support if necessary.
This is the secret trump card of the desolate planet. The invaders would probably never have thought that in addition to the allied forces on the desolate planet, they also have to guard against support coming from the lower city.
Lin Zhi glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "Thank you."
Lu Yuan was stunned.
He scratched the back of his head, his face flushed with excitement. "It's part of my job. Aren't we collaborating?"
Lin Zhi admired Lu Yuan's expression for a moment, then looked away and asked, "Are we going to the fighting arena next?"
"yes."
…
The fighting arena is right in the center of the downtown area. Lu Yuan hasn't been there for a long time. Now that he appears on the projection poster, it has caused a small craze.
Lin Zhi sat on the cement seats in the first row and saw more and more people gathering behind him. The Taipei Arena was filled with noise, and the arched ceiling and metal walls made the noisy echo even louder.
boom--!
Following a deafening roar, Lin Zhi saw iron cages lowered around the stage and the lights dimmed.
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows.
It has quite an atmosphere, like a Colosseum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first group to come on stage were two machines operated by two young men.
"Let's bring out Blackthorn 03 and Flame 00!"
The weight of the equipment made the entire stage tremble.
It seems that this is a mechanical battle.
On the stage, the machines, not flesh and blood, fought back and forth. The sharp clash of metal against metal echoed with the cries of the crowd, sending metal and screws flying everywhere, and the debris strewn across the ground, a display of the aesthetics of violence.
Lin Zhi was not interested in machinery, nor was he interested in the brutal fighting arena, so he watched with some boredom.
Swish!
As Lieyan removed both of Blackthorn's arms, the battle came to an end.
"Let's congratulate Lieyan!! Friends who bet on Lieyan can now check their terminal accounts! Congratulations on your keen eyes!"
"So, who will be Lieyan's opponent next?!"
This is an obvious answer.
The host drawled out, "Who is the only man in this dungeon who can fight against machines?!"
The audience immediately became excited.
"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan!"
The whole audience was calling Lu Yuan's name, and the overwhelming cheers were almost blowing the roof off.
The lights focused on the stage, and Lu Yuan walked out in the spotlight.
There was a hint of ferocity on the man's tough face.
Lin Zhi blinked, and heard Lu Yuan's name in his ears, and before his eyes was Lu Yuan in the fighting arena... a side of him that he had never seen before.
Lu Yuan took off his coat that was in the way, and then threw it towards Lin Zhi...
Lin Zhi: “?!”
There was a scream from the audience, and Lin Zhi saw the coat pass through the gap in the iron cage and land accurately in his arms, carrying the rich pheromones of Enigma.
The tips of Lin Zhi's ears turned slightly red.
What are you doing...
Now, the eyes of thousands of spectators in the entire fighting arena were on Lin Zhi.
Everyone wanted to see clearly who was the person who caught Lu Yuan's clothes, but in order to avoid unnecessary news, Lin Zhi put on the cloak he used when he came to the upper city. The others could only vaguely see the beautiful blue eyes.
Is... is she Captain Lu's lover? !
"It's the captain's ex-lover!!"
Backstage, the mercenaries looked at each other excitedly, "It's that person again! They are really together, right?!"
“Black shadow—!”
Several people surrounded the black shadow, "Who is that Alpha?!"
Shadow: "It's Omega..."
"Omega?! Holy shit!! Can the captain even woo a soft and beautiful Omega?"
"Damn, I'm so envious—"
"No, this Omega is no ordinary person, right? What kind of Omega can withstand Enigma? And this is our captain who is so strong that he can lift a cow!"
Someone else said, "That's not right. Omegas are very powerful nowadays! I heard there are quite a few on the front lines, for example...isn't our Majesty one of them?"
“Yes—”
Unlike before when the powerful people in the upper city were mentioned and everyone would just sneer at them, now the people in the lower city also like their Majesty very much.
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. "Ah... It's still hard to believe that His Majesty is an Omega..."
It's not just these mercenaries. Even the allied forces in the upper city who often interacted with Lin Zhi now had the same attitude as before after knowing Lin Zhi's gender, and often forgot that Lin Zhi was an Omega.
The shadow whispered, "So... maybe that Omega is His Majesty?"
"Black Shadow, are you crazy?! How is this possible!"
Everyone was shocked.
Gao Jiayang swore, "That's right! Impossible! I watched them all the way here from the Imperial City. If the captain and His Majesty... let alone being lovers, if there's even a hint of ambiguity between them, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"
Black shadow: “…”
Little greedy cat.
The shadow didn't understand why these people always didn't believe what he said?
There was chaos backstage, and the situation in the audience seats was even worse than usual.
But soon everyone's attention shifted from Lin Zhi to Lu Yuan himself.
Enigma jumped directly onto the machine and locked its neck.
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows, took the initiative, and used very aggressive moves.
This is very Lu Yuan.
"Bang--!"
That machine was not an ordinary machine. It was able to make it all the way to tonight's finals. It was also an A-class fighter. It reacted extremely quickly, bent down, raised the iron wall to fight back, and threw Lu Yuan to the ground.
[Meme…reinforce…reinforce…]
The mechanical eyes turned red.
Lu Yuan landed steadily, the stage shook slightly, he shook his neck and swung his fist.
The difference from mechanical combat is that pheromones are useless, so even Enigma has to use legitimate means and win in hand-to-hand combat.
Lin Zhi watched with great interest.
When Lu Yuan punched, his arm muscles tensed, veins popping out. When he jumped, his thigh muscles were like finely crafted bows and arrows, brimming with power...
etc.
Lin Zhi came back to his senses.
What is he paying attention to!
Lin Zhi rubbed his solar plexus and turned his attention back to Lu Yuan's moves.
Undoubtedly, Lu Yuan is stronger than when he was young. When he was young, Lu Yuan relied more on brute force, but now that he has evolved into the violent and bloodthirsty Enigma, he knows how to control the strength better. The angle of each attack is just right, and his moves are varied, but they are not fancy at all. Every blow is full of real power and precise control.
Lin Zhi chuckled. Lu Yuan was demonstrating the art of fighting at this moment.
"Bang--!"
As expected, the machine was quickly hit by Lu Yuan, and its head was kicked off by Enigma, leaving the metal patches covered with cracks.
"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan!!"
“Lu Yuan————!”
The cheers intensified, and the emcee excitedly said, "Captain Lu, as the ruler of the fighting arena, has once again given us a wonderful performance!"
"Champion, as always!"
Lin Zhi's breathing also became rapid.
Perhaps influenced by the excitement around him, his adrenaline levels rose as he watched the intense game.
Or maybe... in this sea of people, he was the only one who could smell the pheromones of Enigma on the stage.
Even if millions of people call out his name, only he can sense his pheromones, and no matter what these pheromones were like in the past, they now belong only to him.
……should.
At least, Lu Yuan's coat was in his arms.
Not only that, Enigma's pheromones became much stronger after the fierce fight on the stage. The spicy smell was like herbs, like freshly brewed Chinese medicine, and like the smell of earth and bark, teasing Omega's nerves.
Lin Zhi didn't know whether Lu Yuan did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this pheromone was invading him domineeringly.
Lin Zhi took a deep breath, stood up from his seat with his heart pounding, and left the fighting arena while everyone stood up and cheered, immersed in the afterglow of the fight.
…
In the fighting arena, Lu Yuan's chest was heaving violently. He felt the pleasure and the air of victory after venting his emotions. He turned around to look at Lin Zhi, but found that Lin Zhi's seat was already empty.
Um?
Lu Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and his whole body became more agitated.
The Omega ran away again.
Every time she picks on him... When I feel hot-headed, it's like the claws of honey, scratching my heart lightly and then running away.
