The Death List Novel - Chapter 260

Chapter 260 Treasure Map
“Lord Qin Lun, please give me your orders!” Karu felt uneasy and started to feel a little impulsive.

Ames had already done a good job. He had intervened. Although Qin Lun had signed the soul contract, he was not an apostle. The soul contract could only be restricted unilaterally. Now that he thought about it, there were too many loopholes in Qin Lun’s promise in the soul contract. There was nothing he could do but hope that the other party would keep the promise.

“I remember that the Starry Sky Portal is in the main control room, and there are two Apostle Thieves there now. Do you have any way to get them out of here and try not to cause us too much trouble?” Qin Lun said with a smile.

‘”We can activate the alert system in the control room. However, there are lethal weapons in the alert system. They may be injured” Karu smiled bitterly. “Sir, this will anger the two saints. Why don’t we just … wait and see what happens! We’re in a very secluded place. If they can’t find that place, they should take the initiative to leave!”

“No, you’re wrong. They now know that there are people in the fortress. They won’t let it go until they find you! Besides, you’ve already angered them by trapping those two in the general control room!” Qin Lun patiently explained.

“I am a shooter and have night vision. As long as they are injured, I am confident that I can expel them. Then, you can use the portal to leave! Even if you fail, you can at most blame me for activating the alert system. What’s there to worry about?”

“Your Excellency, are you really confident of expelling them?” Karu’s expression changed and he said with difficulty.

‘”Yes, the thieves and assassins in charge of searching this area are not my opponents. As long as you can injure them, it doesn’t matter if they fight together. I have great confidence!” Qin Lun’s expression did not change as he boasted loudly.

‘”However, you have to move quickly. If they have escaped, then it will be troublesome. How about this, you go directly to activate the security system in the general control room. I’ll check the surroundings with Tang and we’ll meet up in the warehouse later!”

The uneasiness in Karu’s heart grew even more intense. Being the chief priest of the Anka tribe naturally wasn’t a fuel-efficient light. Although Qin Lun’s words were impeccable and seemed to be all for their sake, all of them were based on Qin Lun’s own judgement.

It was like a mathematical problem, the answer process and the answer were incomparably correct, making it impossible to find any flaws. However, the arithmetic of this mathematical problem itself was only based on the subjective assumptions of the proponent.

However, Kalu had no other choice. His goal was to get Qin Lun to protect them from leaving the Holy City. Now that Qin Lun was using the Universal Portal as a prerequisite for his actions, what reason did he have to refuse? Moreover, he didn’t even have any chips left in his hands. Other than hoping that the other party would keep his promise, what else could he do?

This was the sorrow of the weak and the justice of the strong! Karu already regretted it in his heart. If he knew this was the case, why would he jump out and show off in order to compete with Elder Amris?

“Don, protect Princess Mina!” Karu took a deep look at the mecha behind him and resolutely turned around to walk into the darkness.

Qin Lun’s lips curved upwards as he looked at Kalu’s old, stooped back. He knew that the old man was suspicious of him. In fact, when he was in the warehouse, Elder Amris had already started to suspect him.

But so what! It was the same sentence. This was the sorrow of the weak and the justice of the strong! As long as Qin Lun did not completely cut off their hopes, Anlis and Karu would have no choice but to continue chasing after the glimmer of light in front of them until they were exhausted to death.

“Sir, where are we going now?” Tang’s question came from behind Qin Lun. The black-haired youth’s voice trembled as he tried his best to suppress his excitement. He could now drive an apostle mecha worth millions of broken crystals.

A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. He had purposely sent Karu away for the sake of the two apostles in the control room. It was what he was going to do next. He couldn’t let the old Karu follow him anymore. He had to extinguish any accidents.

“Don, how about this apostle mecha?” Qin Lun turned around and smiled at the tall mecha behind him.

“Oh? Although this mecha looks like an engineering mecha on the surface, the functions inside are completely different. It seems to be specially prepared for saints. I don’t have the magic power of a saint. I can’t use any other functions other than driving.” The black-haired youth’s distressed voice came from the mecha.

“Haha, of course.” Qin Lun smiled and casually asked, “Tang, what did you do before? I mean before the fall of the Holy City!”

“My lord, Meimei and I used to be mechanics in a mecha shop. I’m very good at repairing mecha, but Meimei’s repairing skills are better than mine!” “When the Battle of Doomsday happened, we were all piloting engineering mechs and working in a mining area outside the city!”

“In the past two years, you should be familiar with the mecha repair room inside the fortress, right?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked calmly, “Is there a blueprint for the mecha?”

“Oh, the mecha repair room is near our garage generator. However, the advanced mecha manufacturing blueprints have already been collected by several elders. There may only be the simplest engineering mecha blueprints left.” Tang recalled for a moment and said.

“This exoskeletal mecha only uses the simplest telex technology and chip processors. Without a telepathic device and a synchronous brain wave processor, it’s basically useless. What are you doing here?”

“For it!” Qin Lun smiled and knocked on the outer shell of the Apostle Mech. “Only by understanding its structure can we make better use of it!”

“Oh, right! I forgot, it’s yours now!” Tang bitterly smiled, “Please follow me. I’ll take you to the mecha repair room!”

“How’s Mina?” With the flashlight on their mecha wrists, the two of them moved quickly through the fortress passageway.

“She fell asleep in my arms!” Tang looked down and whispered.

“This thing is useless. Give it back to her. After all, it’s her father’s relic!” Qin Lun patted the hatch of the mecha and threw the triangular pyramid pendant inside.

“Your Excellency, you are truly a good person!” Tang caught the necklace and carefully placed it in Mina’s arms.

The two of them were speechless as they quickly arrived next door to the large hangar. There was a huge mecha repair room there. The repair room looked different from the other messy rooms. It was clean and tidy, and the toolboxes were neatly stacked on the shelves.

“Every time Meimei finished repairing her mecha and equipment, she would clean up this place. If it weren’t for the lack of enough power and materials, we would have completely repaired this fortress over the past two years!” Tang sighed and carefully moved away from the mecha. “Let me see. Meimei should have kept the blueprints in the grid under the shelf.”

“Found it, my lord. These are the engineering mecha drawings you asked for. They are all here!” Tang took out a cardboard box from under the shelf, shook the dust below, and took out a thick pile of brown paper.

“So many! Looks like even the simplest engineering mecha is very advanced.” Qin Lun was slightly embarrassed. He raised his head and smiled, “Tang, you are more familiar with these drawings. See if you can help me pick out a complete instruction manual first!”

“Instructions? Sir, if you don’t understand the mecha at all, then I’ll explain the drawings to you …” Tang glanced at Qin Lun doubtfully, but halfway through his words, he shook his head and picked from the pile of drawings.

“Eh, wait, that … yes, give me that blueprint!” As Tang flipped through the blueprints, Qin Lun’s gaze swept across the blueprints at the same time. When he saw a piece of thick brown paper that was about a square meter in size, his eyes finally lit up and Tang picked it out.

“Your Excellency, this is only an overall dissection of the mecha. Other than marking the dimensions of the mecha components, it is useless!” Tang frowned and couldn’t help but explain.

“But the exoskeletal mecha in this blueprint looks the most like the apostle mecha, doesn’t it?” Qin Lun smiled faintly.

“But” The black-haired youth frowned and slowly fell silent. If he could not see the problem at this time, he would be an idiot.

“You go first, I’ll deal with other things!” Qin Lun glanced at him indifferently. He took out Adith’s short staff from his bosom and raised his hand. A fireball fell into the cardboard box containing the blueprints, igniting the rest of the mecha blueprints.

Tang Liuyi glanced at the mecha repair room and slowly climbed back into the apostle mecha. A premonition suddenly arose in the black-haired youth’s heart. He was afraid that he would never have the chance to return here again!

Looking at the back of the apostle’s mecha, Qin Lun flipped his hand and took out a small brown bottle from his embrace. He laid the blueprint flat on the ground, unscrewed the lid of the bottle, dipped his finger in the liquid inside the bottle, and bounced the water droplets evenly on the mecha blueprint.

The liquid in the bottle was colorless and transparent, but it was extremely permeable. The droplets of water bouncing on the mecha blueprint spread out like spider webs towards the entire cowhide blueprint, as if ink had dripped onto the rice paper. There wasn’t much liquid, so Qin Lun quickly dipped the bottle and threw it into the fire with a wave of his hand.

After doing all of this, Qin Lun blew the blueprints and leaned closer to the cardboard box that had turned into fireballs. When the blueprint was slightly dried, the droplets of water that had just dripped into the blueprint slowed down the diffusion speed and the water stains on the surface slowly disappeared.

Qin Lun raised the blueprint and his pupils instantly turned into a clock. The three hands inside slowly beat.

Under the eyes of the clock, the blueprint permeated with the colorless liquid slowly turned translucent. In the place where the liquid had seeped through, fine tendon-like threads suddenly appeared. Countless uniformly distributed threads formed an incomparably strange circuit diagram on the main drawing.

The surface of this mecha was completely normal, but there was a strange circuit diagram inside. On the whole, anyone could tell that the road map was a graffiti. It was meaningless. However, if one looked at it locally … it was very much like a part of a treasure map.

However, the treasure map was clearly marked with treasure, but this map did not. Therefore, unless the entire map was obtained, no one would be able to tell if there was a treasure hiding place on the blueprint.

Qin Lun carefully folded the blueprints, took out a few pieces of dry food and a kettle from the large canvas bag behind him, and stuffed them into his bosom. Then, he put them into the outermost layer of the large canvas bag.

“Everything is in order!” Qin Lun exhaled a long breath, his eyes slowly revealing a cold light. “Next, should we tidy up our hands and tails!”
