Last Totem Novel - Chapter 387
Chapter 387 Spy
One month later, to Dr3714-3-10.
The long winter finally came to an end, and the warm and humid monsoon blew over from the sea, bringing some life to the barren land. Sparks of sprouts appeared in the gradually melting snow.
At this moment, two gray-robed men were riding side by side on a motorcycle on the muddy road southwest of Black Alley. Their speed is very slow, about thirty kilometers an hour. One of the taller, skinnier, gray-robed men was riding a long-handled cruise bike with no brand labels engraved on its body, while the other, shorter, was riding a semi-new Great Wall Cavalry.
“We’re almost at Black Alley. Let’s split up.” The tall and thin gray-robed man said.
“Mm ~ I’ll see you at the Mahogany Bar.” The short gray-robed man nodded and said. The voice was light and bright, and one could tell that it was a girl of sixteen or seventeen.
“Alright, then I’ll go first.” “See you later.” After saying goodbye to each other, the tall and thin gray-robed man forcefully twisted the accelerator. With a loud rumble, he accelerated forward and disappeared from the sight of the rear car.
“Whoosh” About twenty minutes later, the girl lifted her hood and revealed a pretty face. She let out a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, “The old-fashioned uncle has finally left. It’s really uncomfortable to wear a hood all day long.” This girl was Lilith. Three days ago, she was ordered by Tie Zha to go to Black Alley with Quinn to investigate the situation.
According to the plan she had discussed with Quinn, she went to Mahogany Bar to apply for a waitress in order to hide her identity and get information, while Quinn looked around for information.
More than half a month ago, Tie Zha and the others occupied the underground shelter 896. After setting up the 12th stronghold, they returned to Blackwater Lake to bring back the remaining supplies. Afterwards, Iron Cinder arranged for Tang De to be the person in charge of the stronghold and Alva to be the logistics officer. Then, he took her, Hagrid, Black Pig King, Queen, Hank, and five other members out of the stronghold and went to Black Alley to find a boat to go to sea. Along the way, Iron Slag brought them to the previously hidden material point. He asked Hank to bring the five members back to the stronghold and then continued on with the rest of them. About three days ago, they came to the north of the Blackstone Mountains, where the iron slag was stationed. Then, they sent her and Quinn to Black Alley to investigate the situation.
After arriving at Black Alley, Lilith came to Mahogany Bar with ease and successfully applied for the job of waitress. Mahogany Bar was the largest bar in the entire Black Alley. It was thousands of square meters in size and had three floors. It required a large number of staff.
Originally, Lilith thought that it would take some time to get information, but in less than half an hour after putting on the waiter’s apron, she saw a portrait of Tie Zha. After a round of inquiries, she learned that there were several groups of people looking for Tie Zha.
That night, Quinn came to the bar and pretended to be a guest to exchange information with Lilith. At the same time, in a corner not far from them, a middle-aged man in a dark red coat and a boat hat was discussing in a low voice with a short and fat man in a grey cotton coat.
“Look, isn’t this our old friend?” The red-clothed middle-aged man looked at the two sketches on the table and said.
“Mm” The short, fat middle-aged man nodded and said, “It seems that there are quite a few people looking for him.”
“As soon as I got off the ship today, three people asked me about him. Two of them left behind a portrait. One of them only showed me a look. It was probably two large organizations and a small organization.” The red-clothed middle-aged man speculated.
“Who are they?” The short, fat middle-aged man asked. As he was not the captain, the questioner did not look for him.
“The first one’s tone was very formal and his attitude was very polite. He was a bit like the official clerk of Silver City. The second one had a Far Eastern accent and his attitude was a bit arrogant. The third one had a Northern Wilderness accent. When he asked, he was very polite.”
“Looks like our old friend is in big trouble.” The short, fat middle-aged man said.
“To put it correctly, it should be very, very troublesome.” Said the red-robed middle-aged man. When he got off the ship, he wondered why the customs inspection had suddenly become so strict that he didn’t even dare to unload the cargo. Although he had some common methods, it was under normal circumstances, not the current special circumstances. It seemed that this trip might have been in vain. In his thoughts, he suddenly noticed a young and beautiful waitress not far away …
“I think we should find him and give him some help.” The short, fat middle-aged man said, but at this moment, he discovered that the other party was looking elsewhere, as if he was not listening to him. He followed the other party’s gaze and saw a beautiful young girl. He immediately rolled his eyes and raised his voice to say, “Hey hey hey ~ What are you looking at?”
“Beautiful girl” The middle-aged man in red stared fixedly at the girl opposite him and said.
“I’m talking to you, can’t you show some respect?” The short, fat middle-aged man said unhappily.
At the same time, Lilith noticed that the middle-aged man in red was looking at her. She lowered her voice and said to Quinn, “Someone is paying attention to me. I’m leaving.” With that, she carried the plate and left as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the beautiful girl leave, the middle-aged man in red lowered his head thoughtfully.
“Old pervert, what’s wrong?” The short, fat middle-aged man asked. They were Feng Yun, the fat chef, and Xia Yihan, the captain, who had just stepped off the ship.
‘”Don’t you think” the captain thought for a moment before suddenly raising his head and asking, “does she look very much like a person?”
“You mean Tie Ling?” The fat chef thought for a while and hesitated.
“Yes.” Replied the captain.
“There are similar people everywhere, is that strange? I saw someone who looks like you just now …” said the fat chef.
‘”Mm” The captain rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying, “I’ve decided to stay here tonight.”
“Pull you down!” The fat chef couldn’t help but complain, “I’m telling you something serious, can’t you be serious?”
“What were you saying just now?” The captain asked with a blank expression.
“You” The fat chef blushed, as if he couldn’t breathe and was about to faint.
“Oh, you’re talking about him, right?” As he spoke, the captain looked at the portrait on the table.
“Yes” The fat chef nodded and then asked, “What do you think?”
“What does it have to do with me?” Said the captain coolly. ‘That’s your friend, not mine. I’m here to do business, not cause trouble.’
“You … How can you say that? You’ve fought side by side at least.” The fat chef said angrily.
‘”Firstly, I’m not very familiar with him. Secondly, even if I’m very familiar with him, I still have to charge …” The captain snorted coldly and asked, “Is he rich?”
“Since he was able to cause such a great disaster, he must have earned quite a bit of benefits.” The fat chef said.
“What kind of logic is this?” The captain looked at the fat chef with contempt, as if he were looking at a fool.
“That fellow isn’t stupid. Do you think he will do anything that isn’t beneficial?” The fat chef asked.
“Oh” His question caused the captain to sink into deep thought for a long time.
Just as the two of them were silent, Quinn, who was not far away, was observing them with the corner of his eyes. Judging from their attire, they should be deep-sea fishermen from the Black Sea, because only those over there would dress like ancient pirates.
These people said they were deep-sea fishermen, but they were the only ones who knew what they were doing privately. However, it was precisely this type of person who walked on the fringes that was the goal of his trip. However, such people rarely appeared in Black Alley. Unless the other party had certain official channels, they would not easily leave the Black Sea and run to this unfamiliar place.
At this moment, on the table in front of them was Tie Zha’s wanted profile. This meant that they already knew that Tie Zha’s reward was as high as 5,000 yom coins, but judging from the looks on their faces, not only did they not have much expectation for the reward, they were rather worried.
Could it be … that they were Tie Zha’s friends?
However, even if he had some doubts, he did not dare to make any contact with the other party. One had to know that what Black Alley lacked the most were merchants and pirates with different appearances.
While she was deep in thought, Lilith walked over with the plate in her hand. She then brushed past him and walked towards the captain and the fat chef not far away. In the meantime, he raised his head slightly, and their gazes swept past each other’s faces. Then, they separated, looking relaxed and ordinary.
“Good evening, guests. Here is the Black Alley ale you ordered.” Lilith, dressed in a red maid dress and tied in a white apron, said crisply.
“Ding ding ding” As he spoke, three gold coins fell into the plate.
“Guest, who are you?” Lilith looked nervously at the captain and asked in surprise, her face slightly reddened and she looked even more charming.
“Here’s your tip. Please accept it.” Said the captain with a gentle smile. At the same time, the fat chef sitting across the table looked at him with a gloomy expression.
Lilith’s eyes lit up as she asked, confused, “This … isn’t this too much … I just brought you a glass of ale …”
The captain nodded slightly and said, “I came from the far north and wandered on the sea for nearly three months. I was able to meet such a beautiful girl the moment I got off the ship. It made me forget the tiredness of the journey and the hardships of the voyage. So …” “You deserve it, beautiful girl,” the captain said with a slight nod.
“Thank … thank you …” In an instant, a large red tide appeared on Lilith’s face, spreading from her neck to her ears like a ripe red apple.
“You go ahead. We still have some things to deal with.” The captain nodded slightly and said politely. In just a few seconds, he played five trump cards-“generous,” “gentle,” “respectful to women,” “easy to capture,” and “mysterious.” If it was an ordinary girl, she would have already had a good impression of him.
However, Lilith was not an ordinary girl …
‘”Then … I’ll go first …” After saying that, Lilith put away the gold coins and turned around to leave.
“He wants to hit on you?” As she passed by Quinn’s side, she paused for a moment before whispering to herself.
“Yes.” She nodded slightly.
“I think you can take this opportunity to get in touch. We need deep-sea fishermen.” Quinn whispered.
“I’m not a bar girl.” Lilith reminded.
“I will protect you. I swear on my life.” Said Quinn.
“Alright.” Lilith smiled and nodded before returning to the bar.
