The Death List Novel - Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Regression
The long table was filled with dazzling delicacies. Silver cutlery and glass wine glasses shone under the lights. More than a dozen gorgeous maids with smiles flowed back and forth between the banquet hall. The band at the side of the hall was playing a relaxed tune, just like everyone was feeling at the moment.
Ever since the Qi Bolin fleet returned to base, Y2K members have hosted several extravagant parties similar to the ones currently held, and the entire organization has been in a rage. For the remnants of the Third Reich who had lived in darkness for decades, nothing could compare to the joy they felt at this moment.
Fifty-four years later, they finally saw the dawn of the empire’s revival, regaining their former glory, and reappearing in the sunlight. Many people cried out in pain, venting the sorrow that had been accumulating in their hearts for decades.
“Captain Klug, why haven’t you seen Gerthard again? The officers and men staying at the base are eager to see our commander.” Major Montana smiled as he approached Grant. After returning to the base, the disabled major finally replenished the mechanical parts on his body. He had been spending a wonderful time with his subordinates these past few days.
“Major, haven’t you heard that our great hero has already fallen into Gentle Village and won’t be able to climb out so easily?” Grant shook his glass and said in a weird tone, “He’s busy now. How can he care about us comrades?”
“Oh, this is it!” The Montana major rubbed his nose awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. “Oh right, have you received any reports of the battle between the vampire squad and the hydra?”
“Yes, I saw it, but it shouldn’t have any effect on the general situation, right?” Grant nodded indifferently. During the Battle of London, Baron Weidenbaylor’s vampire squad and the Hydra squad led by the Red Skull also had combat missions.
Hydra was responsible for surrounding them, targeting SHIELD’s flying warships and superhumans staying in the United States. At the very least, they could not support the London Avengers that night.
However, their battle over the Atlantic Ocean was not intense. The Americans did not notice the Crusaders’ cross-ocean landings at the beginning. They thought that the superhumans in London were enough to defend against the attacks of the three great Nazi organizations.
Although they received the report in the latter half of the night, it was already too late. Moreover, because they were high up in the sky, the Avenger Alliance, which had the advantage in strength, did not have room to play. The two warships drew. By dawn, when US military aircraft from the east coast arrived, Hydra’s warship had completed its mission and left the battlefield.
On the other hand, the vampire brigade led by Weidenbaylor suffered heavy losses. During this campaign, they were responsible for attacking Green College in northern Europe.
As a result, because Green College had transferred people from all over Europe and was waiting in the academy, it suffered a heavy loss. Weidenbaylor, who was fighting against the Dean of Green College, was also injured.
Of course, as a secondary battlefield, the loss of the Hydra and Vampire Brigades did not affect the overall situation. After the Battle of London, the three secret organizations of the Nazis began to make intensive contacts with various forces and seek to return to German politics.
Returning the remnants of the Nazis to European politics was clearly not the best choice for the European and American countries. However, after careful calculation, the three great Nazi organizations had experienced so many years of hardship, and their strength was quite strong.
The world of divine melodies is about to undergo drastic changes. In the future era, the national forces that the countries of the world rely on for survival will become weak, and only by relying on superhuman organizations can they protect their countries. From this point of view, the Nazis will return to the front lines of history, whether they want it or not.
Moreover, after the Battle of London, the once united allies were torn apart. As an important part of the allied forces in Europe and the United States, Britain has become an insignificant player.
Despite the tough declarations made after the war, which maintained the usual arrogance and tenacity, Britain’s supra-human organization that maintained national security had been annihilated. Whether it was MI7 or HELLSING, it would be difficult to rebuild it.
The Catholic Court, the largest superhuman organization on the European continent, had now become a street rat that everyone shouted at. More than half of the 6,000-character army had been killed, and Father Lancelot and Father Andrewson, who were carrying sacred objects, had been confirmed dead. The whereabouts of the sacred objects were unknown.
Under this situation, European countries began to strengthen their efforts to recruit domestic superhumans and reinforcers. Europe, which was originally gradually moving towards unification from the economic and political aspects, returned to the situation of hegemony overnight. Although there will be no more war in the near future, there is no way to stop the three Nazi organizations from penetrating German politics.
As for the United States, the only superpower at present, it also suffered heavy losses in this war. Not to mention the three fallen Avengers, Hawkeye Clint, Black Widow Natasha, and White Giant Leo, the others who escaped were also in a bad situation.
Iron Man, who landed in the Atlantic Ocean, was very lucky. He was rescued by a passing cruise ship, but he was seriously injured. He was unable to recover his combat strength in a short period of time. Although the Hulk had escaped the battlefield, he still hadn’t appeared. The Avengers speculated that Hulk might have had another mental problem.
The whereabouts of Captain America, who escaped with Little Red Riding Hood Liv, are still unknown, and the Americans and the restructured British government have been at loggerheads over the matter. One side suspects that the British secretly detained Captain America and the S-men after the war. On the other hand, the United States has accused its allies of failing to provide adequate support, causing London to fall into ruins.
Anyway, these two good gay friends who used to wear the same pair of trousers could be considered to have completely broken up by now.
“Captain Kluge, did you and Gerhardt really decide to leave the millennium bug?” After a moment of silence, the Montana Major finally asked with some regret.
“After this war, the three organizations can openly join the German political arena. Before the magical creatures awaken, there shouldn’t be too fierce a war among humans.” Grant said with a faint smile.
“Gerhardt and I are too sensitive. It will be more beneficial to your situation to temporarily leave the three organizations. Besides, after this battle, the three organizations will probably speed up their integration and will no longer be separated from each other in the future.”
“Mm, that’s good too. The three organizations also need a deterrent force under the table.” Major Montana nodded slowly. He had apparently treated part of Apostle’s appearance in London as a secret member of the secret development of the two of them over the years.
…
Qin Lun felt his nose itch in his sleep. He couldn’t help but sneeze and woke up. Turning around, she saw that the beauty beside the pillow was looking forward with bright eyes, smiling as she pinched a strand of her beautiful hair and teased herself.
“You dare to tease me!” Qin Lun pretended to be angry and started to itch on the woman’s untouched body.
‘”Hahaha ~” The two of them had been “communicating deeply” day and night these past few days. They were very familiar with the sensitive parts of each other. Mrs. Monica quickly couldn’t withstand Qin Lun’s invasion and collapsed into a ball on the bed. Her charming eyes were like silk, as if they were covered in a layer of sparkling mist. She looked at her lover blurriedly.
Seeing Monica’s charming appearance, Qin Lun felt a heat flow rise in his lower abdomen. He couldn’t help but roll over and press the beautiful body of the Sandstorm Queen under his body again.
“Alright, don’t move. We haven’t been out for days. We have to go to the banquet tonight. Otherwise, those people will make fun of us.” Monica clenched her teeth and looked at Qin Lun with a hateful look. She reached out and pushed him away. “Besides, there’s still more time in the future!”
“In the future” Qin Lun’s stomach was filled with fire as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“What’s the matter?” Monica sensed the change in the man’s emotions and asked doubtfully.
“Monica, I want to tell you something!” Qin Lun scanned the room and confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras before he said cautiously, “I have something to hide from Major Montana. Klug and I have not lived in seclusion on the European continent for decades!”
“That’s what you’re trying to say …” The Sandstorm Queen sighed. “I’m not a three-year-old girl. After this war, I’m afraid everyone knows that you’ve been secretly operating all these years. You should be leading an underground organization no less powerful than the Millennium Bug, right?”
‘”No, this is just an appearance. Klug and I are actually from another world” Qin Lun’s expression suddenly changed as he calmly glanced at the sudden red warning on the death list.
“Another world?” Monica was slightly stunned and slowly frowned. “Are you referring to the other side of the spatial rift?”
“En!” Seeing that Lady Monica’s understanding was as she had expected, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he smiled as he nodded. “I can’t say more about the situation in that world, but I’m leaving soon!”
“Leave?” Monica’s heart tightened. Without hesitation, she grabbed Qin Lun’s arm and her fingernails sunk deep into her flesh. “No matter where you go, take me with you this time!”
“Monica, do you believe me?” A peculiar feeling surged out of Qin Lun’s heart. He smiled and patted the woman’s little hand.
“If you take me with you, I’ll believe you!” The woman pouted and looked at Qin Lun provocatively. “This can’t be blamed on me. It can only be blamed on you for being too cunning. Those who believe in you are all lying in the grave right now.”
“Hey, at least I’ve never lied to my own people … Well, I haven’t lied most of the time!” Qin Lun covered his forehead with a wry smile and said, “Monica, listen to me. I don’t have the ability to take you away right now … However, I promise that I will definitely come back and take you away!”
“You promise?”
“I promise!”
“Swear?”
“Alright, I swear!”
“No, you swore it wouldn’t work!” Monica suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but curl her lips, giving Qin Lun a hygienic look.
“This time, it’s true!” Qin Lun angrily used his own mouth to block the woman’s mouth.
The Sandstorm Queen struggled discontentedly for a while, but as Qin Lun’s hands swam through her body, her breathing became rapid, and two charming blushes appeared on her face. She finally hugged the man and responded.
“I rarely tell the truth, but no one believes me. You must be punished!” Qin Lun blinked his eyes craftily.
500 word are omitted here.
…
“Good morning, Major Gerhardt and Mrs. Monica!” Looking at the couple of lovers who had appeared at the entrance of the restaurant for the first time in a few days, Captain Hans, who had gotten up early to eat, greeted them politely without any change in expression.
If Captain Hans was still taking care of the two’s face, then the few fellows who came later were not so polite and teased the couple one after another.
“Good morning, both of you! Mrs. Monica, you’re getting more and more attractive!” The Montana Major couldn’t help but tease as he looked at the radiant and smooth-faced Sandstorm Queen who looked extremely moist.
“Aiya, it’s really rare to see you two, Major Gerhardt. If you need any help, please come to the medical laboratory. I still have quite a few’fortification ‘medicines.” Dr. Shahr held the plate and gave Qin Lun a thumbs up with envy.
“Hmm? Gerthardt, have you come out? I heard that the officers near your room haven’t slept well these past few days, so they’ve all moved out … Take care of yourself!” Grant walked past them expressionlessly and muttered to himself.
“Tsk tsk, three whole days and four nights. I really admire you, my lord!” Les smiled playfully at Qin Lun.
“Major Gerhardt, your battle performance these past few days … is truly formidable!” The beautiful lieutenant, Li Bo, stared at Qin Lun with widened eyes. She didn’t know what she meant by combat performance. No matter how she looked at the pair of watery eyes, they seemed to be filled with resentment.
Qin Lun ate his breakfast without changing his expression and silently endured the bullying of the crowd. Monica’s skin was not as thick as his. She drank a glass of milk in a hurry and went back with a shy face.
“Humph!” Qin Lun wiped the plate clean with bread, stuffed the last piece of black bread into his mouth, and provocatively glanced at everyone in the restaurant. His face that was as thick as a city wall had finally defeated all his opponents, leaving them with a face full of unwillingness.
After finishing his meal, he chatted with everyone and followed Grant out of the base to a remote corner of the island. Before leaving the Millennium Bug base and returning to the shattered starry sky, they still had one last thing to do, and that was to split the spoils.
The spoils of war after the final battle were now basically in Qin Lun’s hands. According to the soul contract between the two of them, the profits would be split in half. However, in that case, they might not be able to get what they needed, and they would have to exchange it again. It would be more appropriate for them to split the spoils and cancel the contract now.
“Which of the two sacred objects do you want?” Qin Lun drilled into a natural cave that he had prepared long ago and took out the Elena Sacred Nail and the Magic Cube with the Thorned Crown Talisman engraved on it.
“There’s no need for us to play such petty tricks. You know what I’ll choose!” Grant glanced at Qin Lun and reached out to take the Elena Sacred Nail.
In fact, although the two items they had obtained belonged to the Holy Artifact of Christ, there was still a subtle difference.
The Elena nail and the Thorn Crown were both sacred objects of Christ, but the Thorn Crown was a prop for Jesus’ crucifixion, and the Sacred Nail was Elena’s crucifixion. Even though Elena was one of the saints of Christ, she was also a servant of the Lord, and the spikes stained with her holy blood were never comparable to the thorn crowns stained with Jesus’ holy blood.
However, in the eyes of Qin Lun and Grant, there was another difference between the two sacred objects.
Father Andrewson, who was using the Elena Nail, was killed by Alcatel and did not drop the Magic Cube, so this sacred object was an authentic world treasure.
In the past few days at the Millennium Bug base, Qin Lun had already checked the information of the Elena Sacred Nail with the Apostle Soul Seal. He knew that this item could be brought into the shattered starry sky, but Apostle had to pay a huge price. The exact price could only be understood when they returned to the settlement.
However, no matter what, this sacred object would eventually become an object of Apostle and possess the ability of an original object. Judging from Andrewson’s usage, Grant believed that this item should strengthen his viral bloodline and its offensive and defensive power could not be ignored.
Although the Sacred Thorn Crown also had this effect, the Sacred Thorn Crown was a wooden treasure. Qin Lun had Elves’s bloodline and wood element affinity, but he didn’t. To him, it wasn’t as important as the Sacred Nail.
Most importantly, Lancelot was killed by Qin Lun. The falling form of the Sacred Thorn Crown was the Magic Cube, not the original treasure. Although this Magic Cube was likely to be able to open the Sacred Thorn Crown, its quality was not necessarily comparable to the original. There was even a small chance that it would not be able to open it.
Compared to the huge price Elena had to pay for the spike, the risk wasn’t small. In this way, Grant didn’t have to fight for the Saint Thorn Crown. In fact, if the Saint Thorn Crown wasn’t a wooden treasure, Qin Lun would have chosen the Elena Sacred Nail. Neither of them was a gambler, so their style was more steady.
After distributing the biggest harvest, Qin Lun took out a few Magic Cubes of different colors and placed them in front of him.
In the final battle, they obtained White Giant Rio’s White Magic Cube, Black Queen Mira’s Colored Magic Cube, Warrant Officer Luke’s Magic Cube and Father Jack’s Magic Cube. The most valuable was White Giant Rio’s Magic Cube, followed by Mira’s Colored Magic Cube. The one with the least value was Father Jack’s Magic Cube. The Strengthened Magic Cube was estimated to be at most 1,000 to 2,000 broken crystals.
The distribution of the four Magic Cubes was also very simple. Grant had paid the most in this battle, and he almost died. Naturally, White Giant’s White Magic Cube would belong to him. Qin Lun took Mira and Jack’s Magic Cube.
As for the last Warrant Officer Luke’s Magic Cube, they intended to leave it to Lily. Although “Beauty” was unable to help in the end, she was still at their beck and call, so it was only natural for her to take a Magic Cube that was equivalent to a beginner Apostle.
After dividing the spoils, the two did not immediately open the Magic Cube. Their mission evaluation this time should be very high. Judging from their past experience, the higher the mission evaluation, the higher the probability of these Magic Cubes appearing unique treasures. It was best to wait until they returned to the settlement before touching the prize.
…
Three days later, Kieran, Grant, Rice, and Lily appeared at an uninhabited beach on Corsica.
“Let’s go!” Qin Lun looked at the people behind him and his figure slowly faded. Finally, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into a pitch-black crack that appeared beside him.
