Silver City Time: Dr3716-5-26, 8pm, Satt Time: 25am.

The faint morning light sprinkled on the old street, like a sketch of light and shadow, outlining an incomplete painting. There were badly damaged brick walls, rusty fire hydrants, ice-cold, dark-angled iron stairs, and dusty billboards hanging between the buildings. From above, the cracks on the ground were clearly visible, like crisscrossing scars that recorded the city’s growth rings.

“Hualala …”

In the early morning, there was a noise of metal friction coming from a corner of Sandstorm Castle Avenue. Following the opening of the sluice gate, a man in his early thirties wearing a white chef’s uniform came out.

“Ah” Looking at the sparsely packed streets, the man opened his mouth and yawned loudly. His name was Ralph and he was the owner of the bakery. His specialty was making buttered coconut bread. Roll the fresh butter and minced coconut into the dough, bake in the oven for twenty minutes, coat the dough with cheese, and then bake for half a silver coin.

Ralph moved his body in front of the door and was about to return to the shop when he saw an extremely tall woman walking towards him.

She wore broad sunglasses, tight black leather pants, a brown-red jacket, and high-heeled leather boots tied with shoelaces. As he walked, he twisted his waist and swung his hips, revealing the curves of his body. The muscles were incomparably graceful, and they were mixed with explosive power. They were like a female leopard walking in a snake-like and cat-like manner. They were filled with wild beauty.

In an instant, Ralph’s eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and he could no longer move his gaze away. In the past 30 years, he had never seen such a beauty before. Even if he couldn’t see her appearance, her beauty was shocking and fascinating.

However, for some reason, in the next moment, a huge wave of fear surged into his heart. The woman in front of him seemed to have turned into a primordial beast, filled with a terrifying aura. He involuntarily took a few steps back, feeling his chest extremely heavy, as if he was being pressed down by a thousand jun boulder, unable to breathe, unable to move, unable to make a sound.

“Push! Push! Push!”

Only after the crisp sound of footsteps disappeared from the pavilion did he gradually regain his senses. Unknowingly, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

“Heavens” He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves, looked up at the sign above, and sighed softly. Looks like the tenants upstairs are all big shots that can’t be offended, you need to be extra careful in the future. Thinking about it, he returned to the shop, took out a rolling pin and dough, and began his day’s work.

Shortly after Ralph started rolling, a handsome man in power armor with brown hair and black eyes walked up the wooden stairs. When Ralph finished making the bread and brought it into the oven, another man in power armor and a woman in light military uniform walked up to the second floor from the side of the bakery.

“Oh, two beauties, it’s really shocking to see you here.”

“I love you guys so much, don’t you want to hug me?”

Tie Zha and Mu Qianhe had just walked up to the second floor when they heard a man’s frivolous words coming from the office. Listening carefully, the man’s voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it was. He couldn’t help but frown. Most likely, the women in the office were Syris and Lena. The woman who molested him, do you want to die?

“Bang!”

Tie Zha pushed open the door forcefully and barged in, but he was immediately stunned. Syris and Lena were sitting side by side on the sofa, and the one who had just spoken was standing opposite them. It was none other than their eldest brother, Hillman Hiroth.

Seeing Mu Qianhe behind Tie Zha, Hillman immediately raised his eyebrows, opened his arms, and stepped forward to say, “Wow! Beautiful Miss Mu Qianhe, welcome.”

Tie Zha slightly turned around and stood in front of Mu Qianhe.

“What are you doing? Why are you stopping me from embracing you warmly?” Hillman asked unhappily.

Tie Zha flipped open his helmet and looked at him expressionlessly.

“Wow! Isn’t this brother-in-law?” Hillman smiled and hugged Tie Zha, then he wanted to hug Mu Qianhe. The latter quietly took a step to the side, avoiding his embrace.

“Oh, touching Miss Mu Qianhe, fiery Miss Mu Qianhe, you are the object of my longing. My heart has already belonged to you …” Hillman was not affected at all and said affectionately, “On this beautiful morning, let’s go get a room …”

Hillman and Lena turned around at the same time and looked away.

“Friend” Tie Zha couldn’t help but remind him. In front of his real boyfriend, only this big uncle could do it.

‘”Right …” Hillman turned to look at Tie Zha with a puzzled expression on his face and asked thoughtfully, “Aren’t you already dead?”

Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.

“What are you trying to do! My two sisters are here. Don’t act recklessly. I’ll beat you up at any time!” Hillman warned with a stern expression. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone grabbing his back collar. Then, his entire body lightened, and his feet actually rose from the ground.

“Ah!”

Amidst the screams, Lena walked out of the office with Hillman and threw him down the stairs. Then, as if nothing had happened, she returned to her original seat and sat down.

‘”Aiya, don’t get excited” After a while, Hillman shook his head and said earnestly.

“Brother, why are you here if you don’t stay in the regiment?” Syris asked.

“I’m here to recruit some people, and I’ll take a look at you guys.” Hillman said. Ever since Wang Hu received the funds from Tie Zha, he has been expanding his team. Every once in a while, logistic officer Hillman would come to Windsand Castle to search for suitable personnel. At present, the size of the LTTE has reached more than 200 people, and it has the ability to fight independently.

Next, the three siblings of the Hiroshi family talked for a while, and Hillman went out to do some business. Under Lena’s puzzled gaze, Tie Zha left Mu Qianhe. She would stay here and meet up with Match, Bai Xiaoyun, Marcus, Gangze, and the others before heading towards Storm Stronghold, waiting for Mu Yuqinxin’s arrangements.

After leaving the office, Tie Zha asked Quinn for a sand truck and headed towards Crimson Peak Stronghold. He had already worn the power armor for several days, and his entire body felt sticky. He had to go back to unload the armor and maintain it. However, since the Wilderness Knight was a custom-made power armor, he could not dismantle it without a special system. Otherwise, it would cause great damage. As his mobile assembly room was left there, he could only hurry back as soon as possible.

After using it for this period of time, he began to understand why those Psionic Adepts were willing to wear these heavy metal shells every day. The feeling of having power was really comfortable. After putting on the power armor, the conventional weapons were basically ineffective. If one wanted to fight, they could fight. If one wanted to escape, they could escape. They were carefree and carefree.

Mechanical power armor has the disadvantages of large weight, high fuel consumption, and the average use of half an hour to add fuel. If he continued to fly, he wouldn’t even be able to last ten minutes. Fortunately, Tie Zha was powerful enough to only operate the power furnace during battle, saving him a lot of trouble.

Actually, ordinary humans could also wear mechanical power armor. However, they were slow to move when the power furnace was shut down, and their ability to resist earthquake was limited. That was why they weren’t widely used. However, hundreds of years ago, scientists designed simple mechanical power armors for ordinary humans, but because of their low cost-effectiveness, they have not been adopted. After all, the population base of ordinary humans was very large and could withstand consumption. A local garrison member’s equipment was only around thirty gold coins, and his pension was between one hundred and two hundred gold coins, which was quite cheap. If they were equipped with simple mechanical power armor, their survivability would be greatly improved, but their combat strength would not improve much. They would still use gunpowder weapons as their main weapons, and they would have to pay hundreds of gold coins in additional costs. It would be better to hire a few more people. Anyway, they were cannon fodder, so there was no difference.

A few hours later, Tie Zha arrived at Crimson Peak Stronghold smoothly. Then he went to the assembly room, took off his power armor, and without saying hello to Hagrid, changed into a hooded robe, and went into the big tent in the middle of the camp. He’s going to have two drinks and take a rest.

At this moment, the large tent that served as a bar was filled with people. The bounty warriors gathered in twos and threes, drinking large mouthfuls of wine, eating large chunks of meat, and laughing loudly. The uniformed waiter carried a plate through the room. The exposed Liu Ying was shoulder to shoulder with the guests as she laughed repeatedly.

Not long after he sat down, he met an acquaintance. Not far ahead, a girl was wearing a thin skirt. She stopped to greet her guests from time to time, but every few steps she took, her butt would be attacked from behind. Even in noisy surroundings, one could hear “Pa!” A crisp sound echoed in his ears.

However, she seemed to be accustomed to it. Apart from her slightly red face and occasional screams, there was basically nothing she couldn’t adapt to.

This girl was Xiao Yue who met in the Grand Rum Cafe. Tie Zha lowered her head and did not intend to reveal her identity. Then, he waved to the waiter who was passing by, ordered a glass of ale, and drank it alone.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise suddenly stopped and the bar was completely silent. Tie Zha, who was aware of the abnormal situation, raised his head and saw people parting on both sides. A girl wearing a dark military uniform and carrying a long saber walked in. She stood in the crowd and looked around. Her sharp gaze swept past Tie Zha before she turned around and left.

Tie Zha drank the rest of the wine in one breath, leaving behind a few silver coins and walked out.

Outside the tent, Tie Ling followed and whispered, “Something happened to our patrol.”

“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha frowned slightly and asked.

“Follow me” Tie Ling tugged at his sleeve.

Not long after, the two arrived at the medical tent and saw a soldier with a dull gaze and bandages all over his body.

“He’s the driver. Everyone else is dead.” Tie Ling explained.

“Is it a warning?” Tie Zha asked. It was obvious that the reason why he had left someone alive in such a situation was to intimidate them.

Tie Ling nodded.
