My head was still a little swollen, and all I could remember was a few scattered and broken memories. Li Fei poured a cup of herbal tea, took a sip, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

Looking around, the room was surrounded by bright glass, with lofty mountains on either side and a river in the back, and the only exit to the room was in front of it, where an old wooden door connected to another room. But the room in front of it was different, it was a little smaller, with various instruments and a workbench. An old man in his fifties was standing in front of the console, holding something that seemed to be the rudder of a ship, and Zero was standing beside the old man, holding a yellowed drawing in his hand, looking at the drawing in his hand from time to time, and talking to the old man from time to time.

Li Fei sat at the table, sat for about a quarter of an hour, struggled to get up, leaned against the wall of the room, staggered open the door, and walked into the room where Zero and the old man were.

"Where are we? What's wrong? Li Fei pushed open the door and asked weakly.

Seeing Li Fei come in, Zelo put the map on the operating table, his face was full of surprise, but his mouth complained: "Boss, you are awake, these few days are enough for your old man to exhaust me." ”

Li Fei asked, "Zero, where is this?" Where are you taking me? ”

"Obviously, we're on a boat! He is the captain of the ship. Zero said, pointing at the old man.

"And the only sailor on the only ship! You can call me 'Lao Zhang'. The old man said jokingly with a pipe in his mouth, but his eyes were always looking ahead, "Young man, how is your body?" Do you feel anything uncomfortable? ”

Li Fei rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it's just that the limbs don't have much strength, and the head is a little dizzy." ”

Lao Zhang smiled heartily: "Hahaha! After sleeping for so many days, it's normal, it's okay! ”

"Slept for so many days? Zero, what the hell is going on? Didn't we, I remember, shelter from the rain in the bus? Why did you get on the boat again? Also, what about the two-headed drake? Li Fei was completely confused about the current situation, but he inadvertently noticed that on Lao Zhang's chest, there was a badge with the "Empire" logo, "Are you a member of the 'Empire'?" Zero, are you crazy? He is a man of the 'Empire'! What are you taking me on the ship of the Empire? ”

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't get excited! First of all, what do you remember? Li Fei's continuous questioning made Ze Luo's head start to faint, and he hurriedly stopped Li Fei.

Li Fei thought about it hard, but he only remembered that they were on the highway, found a bus to shelter from the rain, and met a few people, but he didn't have much impression of what happened later.

Ze Luo asked solemnly again, "Li Fei, do you know how long you have been asleep?" ”

Li Fei shook his head.

"A week!" Zero held up a finger and said, "You've slept for a whole week!" ”

"What? One week? How can it be? What the hell is going on? Li Fei exclaimed, he tried to think about it again, but he still only remembered that he was lying on the back seat of the bus, falling asleep in a daze, and some other broken fragments, he was not sure whether it was a dream or reality.

"We were on the bus, and then we were attacked." Zero's face was very gloomy, "The three 'evil scorpions' died in the attack, and I fled here with you. ”

"Dead? How can it be? Li Fei couldn't believe that the three "evil scorpions" were A-level "sober", plus Zelo, how could they end up in such a mess?

"Wait! The wound on your hand, what's going on? Li Fei only found out at this time that Zero was not wearing a coat, only a black short-sleeved T-shirt, and a thick bandage was wrapped around his left arm.

"A little injury, it's not in the way, but it can actually hurt me, I guess that guy can blow for a lifetime." Zero smiled helplessly, but he could tell that he really didn't care about the injury on his arm.

Li Fei said incredulously: "What is the situation? Can it hurt you? Who is it that attacked us? ”

"Langut." Zero said a name that Li Fei had never heard of, "It seems that I am really unlucky to let you say it, in what kind of ghost place, I can actually meet Langut." ”

"Langut? Who is he? Can you be strong enough to be one against four, kill three, and let you escape with injuries? Li Fei found a chair in the cockpit and sat down, looking at Zero seriously.

"No, no, no, it's not a pair of four." Zero shook his head and looked at Li Fei strangely, "You really don't remember?" ”

Li Fei said very seriously: "I really don't remember, you said he wasn't a pair of four?" It seems that he brought a lot of subordinates, right? In this way, the current result is not surprising. ”

Zero sneered disdainfully, "Subordinates? He brought his men, but he only brought two followers. Listen, Langut, on your own, you have defeated five people, including you! ”

"Impossible! Even if I was not in a good state at the time, it was three A-levels, one X-level, plus your combat power equivalent to X-level, this so-called Langut, with one defeat and five, is too exaggerated! Even if it was said by Ze Luo, Li Fei could hardly believe that this kind of strength was completely beyond his cognition, could it be that this Langut was an "angel"?

"Facts are facts, and you can't believe them." The river in front of him forked, Zelo picked up the yellowed map and looked at it, pointed to the right, Lao Zhang immediately drove the boat into the river on the right, "Langut - the 'Empire' general, according to the 'Duke', the 'Empire' king, that is, Caesar's father, personally awarded Langut the title of 'Blood Spear General', even in the magic dimension, Rangut is definitely the number one person." Daddy Caesar sent Langut, which shows that he cares about this dimension very much! ”

Li Fei pondered: "The general of the 'Empire'? Why am I not impressed at all? ”

"Is it really not impressive at all?" "Think again? ”

"There seem to be some vague fragments, but I'm not sure if it's a dream or something that actually happened." Li Fei said uncertainly, "The fragment is very vague and broken, I remember, there seems to be a strange shape of the spear, there seems to be an exclamation, and blood, the blood stains the rain red, the spear, as if one after another, pierced several people, and then ...... Landslide! Right! Landslides, others, really can't think of it. ”

Zero said solemnly: "The strangely shaped spear in your impression is not like a quadrangular pyramid with barbs, and the gun is engraved with strange symbols?" ”

Li Fei exclaimed: "Yes! It's it! ”

"That's Langut's spear." Zero closed his eyes, looking like he was thinking about something, "That night, the rain didn't stop, and in the middle of the night, three dragons landed next to the bus, and an 'Imperial' soldier came knocking on the door, saying that it was a place to rest, and it was the 'evil scorpion' who went to open the door, at first, I just thought it was bad luck and met an ordinary dragon knight, but after the two soldiers got on the bus, I saw the guy who followed them closely, and I knew that something was wrong!" ”

"Langut, I recognized him at a glance, he was wearing armor and had a gold badge on his chest, it was a one-of-a-kind badge, the badge was the emblem of the Langut army, and the gold badge was only qualified to be worn by Langut himself."

Zeroo paused and continued: "As soon as he came up, I tried to keep my body as low as possible, after all, Venlos was one of the generals under Langut, and Langut would definitely recognize me, the man who seriously injured Venlos. But there is only that place in the bus, and you can't hide if you want to, and as soon as Langut came up, he asked the two bipedal dragon beasts on a car next to the 'evil scorpion' what was going on, and the 'evil scorpion' didn't know the true identities of the two of us, so he naturally told the truth. ”

"This lawsuit is a problem, right?" Li Fei said helplessly, what kind of messenger with two spears and horses, it is okay to deceive outsiders, Kelangut, as a general of the "Empire", is naturally clear about the internal structure of the "Empire", and letting humans join the two-gun riding is simply nonsense.

Zero nodded, "Yes, Rangut knew we were lying when he heard it. Who else could there be a human with two bipedal drake mounts but us? Without saying a word, Langut summoned his spear, pushed away the scorpion, and rushed to me, while two of his men ran to the back of the car to check on you. ”

"Needless to say, Langut recognized you and me directly. A fierce battle was inevitable, and we didn't want to affect the three 'evil scorpions', so we broke the window of the car and jumped out, trying to escape on the bipedal dragon beast. But we were still slow, and Langut used magic to build a cage of earth and rocks from the mountains on both sides of the road, trapping us. Originally, our battle was not about the three Scorpions, and Rangut promised not to disadvantage them, but as soon as the three of them heard who we were, they insisted on helping us fight against Rangut together. ”

Li Fei's face was heavy, "Then, the five of us joined forces, but we still lost?" ”

Zero said helplessly: "Defeated, defeated, defeated, whether it is a physical attack, or a spiritual attack, from beginning to end, we failed to hurt Rangut in the slightest, and Rangut didn't even need to change back into dragon form, so he hit us hard." ”

"And then? How did we get out? Li Fei couldn't figure it out, assuming that Langut was as powerful as Zeroo said, how did they escape?

"We were able to escape, and the price we paid was not small." Zero showed a rare wry smile, "Langut hurt me, and the three 'evil scorpions', I didn't expect to escape, but you fought hard and forcibly blew up the cage laid by Langut, giving us a chance to escape." In addition, the three 'evil scorpions' used their lives as cover to drag Langut, relying on your flying ability, we can escape. Unfortunately, the two-legged drake was left there. You were also in a coma for a week due to physical and mental exhaustion. ”

"It's not just those two mounts that are left, but also the lives of the three 'evil scorpions'!" Li Fei gritted his teeth and said, in fact, his first impression of the three "evil scorpions" was not good, and listening to the conversation between the "evil scorpion" and Zero, whether it was to the "black crow" or the "holy crow", the words were full of contempt and disdain, but they didn't expect that when life and death were at stake, they would use their lives to cover the people they hated.

"If we want to reach the X level, it's impossible, three A grades for two X grades, no loss!" Crow, if you are an individual, stand up and take responsibility for your strength! Zeroo said solemnly, "These are the exact words of the 'evil scorpion'. ”

"They could have left us alone and walked away, but they chose to stay. Zero, we killed them! Li Fei roared with grief.

"Calm down! Li Fei! Calm down! Zero pressed Li Fei back into his chair.

"How do you tell me to calm down?" Li Fei shook off Zero's hand, stood up again, and continued to roar, "Responsibility? Go to his duty! The five of us can't defeat Rangut together, so how can we fight against the 'Empire'? There is no chance of winning this battle at all! ”

"Li Fei! No matter how strong Rangut is, it is just an exception after all! Even if there are two or three ranguts in the 'empire', can only two or three langouts ensure that the 'empire' is invincible? War is not a one-on-one duel! Zero angrily rebuked Li Fei, "You have to remember! Hope will always be there, it's just up to you to do it! ”

"Hopefully?" Zero's reprimand calmed Li Fei down, and he sat back in his chair, "You're right, war is not a duel, just two or three strong people can't completely change the overall situation, but the current situation, even if we compare the overall strength, we humans are not the opponent of the reptiles of the 'Empire', you say, what should we do?" ”

"I don't know yet." Zeroo confessed.

"I don't know......" Li Fei stopped making a sound, and Zero was also silent, and there was silence in the cabin, only the boring "rumble" of the diesel engine.

After half a ring, Li Fei asked slowly, "Where are you taking me now?" ”

Zeroo looked at the map and said listlessly: "When I set off, I didn't say it, to visit an old friend. ”

"And what's going on with him? You haven't told me yet, how did you find a lackey from the 'Empire' to be a driver? You're not afraid that he will betray us? The cold, dark killing intent was stirring in Li Fei's heart, and "empire" was the word he hated the most now.

"You're not calm again!" Zero stood between Li Fei and Lao Zhang, "Lao Zhang happened to meet me by the river, one of the members of the 'Empire' inland river transport team, just as he was about to end his shift and was about to return to the fleet to report, I asked him to take us along the way." Lao Zhang is just an ordinary person, if it weren't for the sake of begging for a living, do you think he would be willing to do things for the 'empire'? He saw that we were injured, but without saying a word, he let us on the boat without even asking us who we were. If you think about it, if he wants to do us badly and has to inform the 'Imperial' patrols, why should he give us time to recuperate? ”

"Later, when Zero Little Friend told me your identity, it really scared me! I've run ships for the reptiles of the Empire, and I've heard about you once in a while. Now that I think about it, if I had known who you were in the first place, maybe I should have thought more about whether or not to let you on board. That's what he said, but seeing that Lao Zhang smiled heartily, I believe that even if he knew the identities of Li Fei and Zeluo from the beginning, he would still help them without hesitation, "However, who will be better now?" It's also thanks to this ability to run a boat, so I can have a pretty good job. If you are replaced by other ordinary people, if you are lucky, you will work as a coolie day and night, and if you are unlucky, you may become a meal on the plate of those beasts one day. ”
