Chapter 277 Chapter 277
Connor Country is located on the southern islands of the eastern continent. It is summer all year round and has the most beautiful coastline in the world. It attracts a large number of tourists every year and is a world-famous tourist destination.
Because of its weak armed forces, it has always valued peace in diplomacy. The powerful countries formed cliques in diplomacy, and looked down on Connor, a small country that had no ability except to earn some tourism fees. Therefore, it has always been peaceful. No matter how the powerful countries fought openly or secretly, and provoked some countries to beat their brains out, Connor has always been a peaceful country, and the outside turmoil has nothing to do with it.
Until something strange happened.
In fact, during the early days of the Red Sun, the mysterious advent had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Connor.
The history of Connor is not very long. It was founded only a hundred years ago. The residents living here are all descendants of peace-loving people who escaped the world war a hundred years ago and sought a paradise. They went out to sea by boat, wanting to find a piece of pure land that was not affected by the war. They accidentally discovered this beautiful uninhabited island, and then they settled here and multiplied from generation to generation.
During the war, this place welcomed residents of all colors from the East and West continents. After the war, it prospered due to marine products and tourism, and welcomed a group of overseas Chinese, and then the country was established.
Without a long history and having never experienced the baptism of war, this land has almost no painful memories, so nothing strange happened at the beginning.
Occasionally, two of them would appear, but they were of very low level and were so weak that they would be harmless if you didn't touch them.
While the whole world is suffering from the advent of the weird, using weird live broadcast software to check the map every day, trying to learn cheats and become stronger to survive, the citizens of Connor are holding their mobile phones and eating melons.
When the Lamp Organization appeared and was discussed by everyone, the citizens of Connor were very excited.
They never think that these things will ever have anything to do with them.
Then suddenly, a black mysterious area suddenly descended on the largest capital, one of the three cities of Connor Kingdom, scaring everyone in Connor Kingdom.
I tried to gather information, look for secrets, and find awakened people, but I didn't get any good results.
After losing three teams, Connor, whose military strength was already seriously insufficient, chose to give up and seek help from the World Alliance.
This is when the advantage of the neutral party's good-guy image came into play. Connor received support from two continents and four countries in the east and west.
Of course, the support is not in vain. Some benefits have to be given in private. The country asking for help solves the problem, and the supporting country not only gets the benefits but also demonstrates its own strength and wins a good reputation. It is a win-win situation.
If things can really be resolved smoothly.
At the only international airport in Connor Country, Huang Tianzhen quickly took off his coat after getting off the plane. If the occasion was not inappropriate, he would even want to take off his thick trousers.
"It's so hot." Su Sanan also sighed.
"This is my first time going abroad." Han Qi fanned himself with the guide booklet he got on the plane. "I never thought it would be like this."
In the distance, someone was holding a sign that read "Welcome the Chinese Team". Qingtong led the team over and showed their credentials.
The man who came to pick us up looked Chinese and spoke fluent Chinese. He reached out and held Qingtong's hand, saying excitedly, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Have the other three teams arrived?" Qingtong asked.
"The people from Japan have already arrived, just ten minutes ahead of you. The teams from the United States and Silver Country haven't arrived yet, and the plane from the Western Continent will arrive in two hours." The man said, "I'll take you to the hotel first. You must be tired after walking for such a long time. By the way, my last name is Wang, you can just call me Wang Yi."
It took more than half an hour to drive from the airport to the hotel. The luxurious hotel used to entertain Qingtong and his friends looked like a golden castle, with a large garden in front and a swimming pool in the back. There was no season for traveling to Connor Country. This hotel was obviously used to entertain wealthy tourists. There should be many tourists on weekdays. However, after the car entered the parking lot, Qingtong found that there were only two or three cars here, and the rest were empty.
"Are there no tourists coming here?" Su Sanan asked.
Wang Yi laughed twice: "This place is reserved. Apart from the four of you who came to support us, no one else will be entertained."
"So generous!" Han Qi exclaimed in amazement.
Such a big hotel, but only four teams of them stayed there? It was too extravagant.
Gong Qian got out of the car and looked back. He saw the strange area in the distance that looked like a bowl on the ground. It was not far from the hotel. He said, "It's because there were not many tourists in the first place."
I was caught off guard by the huge weird area near my accommodation. Even though many people online have said that the area near the weird area is absolutely safe, not many people are brave enough to travel here.
Those who could go home have left.
"Ah... that's also the reason." Wang Yi smiled awkwardly.
The hotel lobby is decorated in a magnificent style. The first thing that catches your eye is the huge mermaid statue in the middle. To the east of the statue is the leisure area, and you can see the flowerbed and part of the swimming pool by the window. To the west is the wine cabinet bar, with two bartenders at the bar and a sign on the table that says "drinks on order" in several languages.
"Does this mean I can drink as much as I want?" Han Qi was very excited. He had only heard of cocktail mixing but never seen it with his own eyes, so he immediately trotted over excitedly.
"What would you like?" a female bartender asked with a smile.
Han Qi didn't understand either, so he just tilted his head and looked around like a curious baby.
A drinker who had been sitting there for a long time said, "Minors are not allowed to drink. You are a bad kid."
The language he spoke was Japanese, which was translated into something that Hanqi could understand through his headphones.
Han Qi looked at the man next to him. He had a young face and slightly long hair, but what caught Han Qi's attention most was the man's tattoo, which was a butterfly.
"I'm already nineteen years old and have reached adulthood," Han Qi said.
"Haha, in our place, you have to be 20 to drink." The man tapped his fingers on the tall glass. "You're still one year short."
"That's the rule of your country. It has nothing to do with me and I have no right to interfere here."
"That's right." The man shrugged and extended his hand to Hanqi, "Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Birdwing Butterfly."
Han Qi looked at him: "Hmm... Is this your name?"
"You can think of it as my name." Bird-winged Butterfly said, "All the cadres of our Hundred Butterflies Society are named after butterflies. Names are meant to be addressed, so this is the nickname used to address me."
"My name is Hanqi."
"Hanqi... um, I remember the pronunciation. Have you never had a cocktail? Then I recommend you try Florida, it tastes good and is suitable for a 19-year-old like you."
"Really? I'll give it a try."
Bird-winged Phoenix Butterfly signaled to the bartender, and the female bartender glanced between the two of them, smiled and went to mix the cocktail. After a while, she brought a glass of bright drink with yellow on top and red on the bottom to Han Qi.
Han Qi took a sip and looked a little strange. He asked the female bartender: "What is the alcohol content of this?"
Why doesn't it taste like alcohol?
"This is a non-alcoholic cocktail." The female bartender replied with a smile, "It doesn't contain alcohol."
Han Qi's eyes widened.
The bird-winged butterfly next to him laughed happily.
Han Qi glared at him: "Hey——"
"I'm sorry, but I really think it's better for children not to drink." Birdwing Butterfly looked at him with a smile, "You don't even look 18 years old."
Han Qi snorted, but did not put down the cup in his hand, nor did he order a new drink. Although it was non-alcoholic, the drink in his hand... well, tasted good.
"You've made new friends so quickly, Birdwing Butterfly?" A man and a woman came over. The woman put her hands on her hips and frowned at him. "You're playing a prank again."
Birdwing Butterfly waved her hands: "No, I didn't. I just advised a kid who was not even 20 years old to stay away from alcohol."
Zhuhuandie's brows relaxed a little: "Don't meddle in other people's affairs. The rule that people can only drink at the age of 20 is only in our country."
"Oh~~Okay." Birdwing Butterfly held her chin with both hands, "You are so boring."
Beaded Butterfly stared at him and tutted unhappily.
In the distance, Qingtong, who had just received the room key from Wang Yi, looked towards the wine cabinet, walked over and patted Hanqi on the shoulder: "We will take action tomorrow, don't drink too much."
"I didn't drink it! No, there is no alcohol in this glass!" Han Qi said immediately.
Qingtong tilted his head and took a look. He never drank cocktails, so he couldn't recognize what it was, but he certainly didn't smell any alcohol.
He looked at Birdwing, Birdbutte and his eyes fell on the butterfly accessories on their bodies.
The believers of the insect cocoon, it turns out they are the ones coming from Japan.
"Hello, I'm Qingtong, the captain of the Chinese team."
"I'm Beaded Butterfly from the Neon Team. This guy who occasionally goes a little crazy is Birdwing Butterfly. If he does something rude, please ignore him and tell us. We'll take care of him." Beaded Butterfly smiled politely at Qingtong and pointed at the man behind him and said, "This is Bright Gray Butterfly, also a member of our team. The captain and another member are not here at the moment, so I'll introduce them to you later."
"Well, it just so happens that my other three team members are not here either." Qingtong said, "We will have enough time to get to know each other before we set off."
As for whether to act together after getting to know each other, you have to see the person first.
At the moment, it seems that this team from Japan may not be difficult to get along with.
"Who do you believe in?"
Just when Qingtong was thinking this, Birdwing Butterfly suddenly spoke up. He tilted his head and stared at Qingtong, and asked again: "The light is in your Chinese territory. There are so many gods, who do you believe in?"
Qingtong looked at the Beaded Ring Butterfly and the Bright Gray Butterfly with a smile. The two also looked at Qingtong, seemingly very curious about his answer.
"I think Lord Mangtao, the leader of the Denghuo, is very wise." Qingtong said.
There was no direct answer, just this answer.
"Hmm... Really?" Birdwing Butterfly drank the cup in front of him and burped with satisfaction. "I hope that we can get along well in the next action~~"
'Qingtong': "Yeah, I hope so too."
The two smiled at each other, and the scene seemed very harmonious for a moment.
Han Qi lowered his head and drank his drink silently without expressing any opinion.
