Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 236: sneaking

"What a beautiful starry sky!" After walking out of the warehouse door, Nora raised her head and looked at the deep blue sky. Probably because of the strong wind on the seashore, the clouds that originally existed in the sky were blown away by the wind and began to reveal a little bit of starlight. Then a crescent came out from the edge of a mountain in the distance.

"It's really beautiful." Lawrence looked at the starry sky and said, no matter when, where, or even what world it was. The starry sky can always give people a shocking feeling.

So after taking out his pocket watch and looking at it under the starlight, Lawrence, who was not too late, simply climbed to the top of the warehouse with the doll lying on his back along the ladder beside the warehouse, and then sat on the ridge of the house. Together, they admired the sparkling sea under the stars and the bright starry sky that seemed to be connected with the sea.

"I feel like I can come over at Syfiel next time." Lawrence thought while looking at the starry sky. "At least in this atmosphere, it will definitely feel great to sit on a high place with my sister and watch the stars."

Because it was completely different from the starry sky of his previous life, Lawrence was very excited to look at this sky full of novelty for him. Fortunately, because I wanted to hide the secrets of the star realm, I asked Zhu Yan to find a warehouse area next to an inconspicuous small port, so there are only a few faint street lights on the main road at night, which will not pollute the clarity. Sky.

Just when he began to look for the stars that represented the gods and the kingdom of God, the little doll sitting beside him suddenly floated up and pointed to a piece of road not far away and asked. "What are you doing over there?"

"Let me see." Lawrence followed Nora's fingers and looked over, and found that a group of people was driving a two-horse horse, covered with thick black cloth, sneaking down the road. go ahead.

The reason why this group of people are sneaky is not because of some kind of prejudice of Lawrence, but because he doesn't think that the guy who is still acting with his face at this time will be a righteous person. Not to mention that the port itself is relatively sluggish and unremarkable, and when it gets dark, there are no ships docking at all.

"What do you think these guys do?" Lawrence raised his head and asked the little doll. These people at the bottom of him became curious. After all, the behavior of moving objects in the docks that were stopped at night was really strange, not to mention that these people were really not dressed like dockers or crew members.

"I don't know. The distance here is too far. I can't feel what is hidden under the black cloth." Nara shook her head somewhat helplessly.

"However, as the New Continent Republic and even the second-ranked port city on the west coast of the New World, I think there will be many people who use this place to do things. For example, today this group of people from gangs transporting smuggled goods to cults preparing conspiracies are possible. , But what does this have to do with us?"

"You're right, we just came up to see the stars." Lawrence realized it suddenly when Nora said so. After all, this place is not my hometown, and the people below have nothing to do with me. So the group of people underneath have nothing to do with themselves. When I go back, I only need to mention Zhu Yan and the others.

But sometimes things will not proceed in the best possible state as they think, just when Lawrence and the others are preparing to go under the roof to the ground to leave this port warehouse area to stay away from right and wrong. Suddenly two people in the group raised their rifles and pulled the trigger at Lawrence and the others.

Ding, whoosh-when he saw the two men raising their arms, Lawrence subconsciously hid behind the ridge of the roof. And Nora gave up the ability to float in an instant and fell like an iron ingot. As a result, the two bullets were all empty, one shot hit the tiles, and the other shot directly from the sky.

"Go—" Lawrence drank through the soul connection and prepared to go to find Nora who had just opened the gun, and then jumped directly from the roof to the ground with the help of [Feather Falling Technique]. He realized that the reason the opponent shot was because he and Nora were climbing too high to see the stars, so the silhouette of two people sitting on the roof against the background of the dark night was really an obvious target.

"They are catching up." Just as Lawrence and Nora retreated quickly to the periphery of the warehouse area along the passage between the warehouses, Nora said suddenly. "Six ordinary people, all with guns."

"Ordinary people, let's give him a guy." After confirming the level of the pursuer, Lawrence immediately decided to fight back. The reason why he stopped the puppet before was purely worried that there was a master in the group, but now that it was only a few ordinary people chasing with guns, Lawrence naturally decided to fight back and grab a prisoner to ask about the situation.

The next battle was lacklustre, and it was almost impossible for someone like Lawrence and Nora to ambush ordinary people. So in just seven or eight seconds, all the six pursuers were successfully captured by Lawrence and the others, and even these pursuers did not shoot a single bullet.

"Okay, let's ask you to answer." Lawrence took out his pistol and put it on the forehead of a pursuer. "Tell me, who are you and why are you chasing us?"

"Don't say it, save—" The guy who was held to his head by Lawrence's pistol didn't say anything. A guy who was slightly more respectable in his clothes than the people around him stopped loudly, and tried to shout loudly to inform others. But just before his first syllable was pronounced, a thin glazed thread flew out of Nora's sleeve and wrapped it around his neck.

Then Nora flicked her finger gracefully, and the thin thread wrapped around this guy's neck was tightened abruptly. In less than a second, the thin thread cut off this guy's neck like a sharp blade.

In an instant, a lot of blood gushed out. Upon seeing this, Lawrence flashed these bloodstains to the side in time. But the prisoners who were tied to the ground were splashed with blood.

"Next time you should notify me." Lawrence complained as he looked at the little doll, and he had no objection to Nora's direct attack. After all, the fact that this group of people shot indiscriminately when they saw the figure made him feel that there was nothing wrong with killing them all now.

"Next time." The little doll shrugged after saying the mantra of white prostitution in his previous life, and then stood on the chest of the person Lawrence had asked just now and put a toe on the opponent's throat and asked, "Okay. , Answer my brother’s previous question, otherwise--"

"I said, I said all--" The captive, who was frightened by Nora's cruelty just now, shook his head vigorously to show that he would definitely cooperate, but Lawrence temporarily stopped him when he was about to speak. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com then the mage's hands rounded up the soil on the ground and covered all the ears of others.

"Okay, let's talk now, but I will ask your companions the same question in a while. If it turns out that you lied—do you know what I would do?"

"Understand, I promise to cooperate thoroughly." After showing his determination, the captive was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and briefly said everything he knew, and Lawrence confirmed him after asking other people these questions. Did not lie.

This group of people are all members of the gang members of Anchorage, the capital of Northern Aurora Province in the Republic of Xinzhou, and that city is the largest city in Aurora Province and the most densely populated area, gathering more than 40% of the population of the entire province.

As a local gang, they are engaged in some unlawful cargo transportation work, and the only purpose of coming to Xin Kuaiji this time is that their boss took over a transportation job.

As elite thugs in the gang, these prisoners naturally don't know much about the specifics. They only know that this time the boss really attached great importance to this work. Not only did they select the most elite group of people in the gang and carry guns, they even sent the only two extraordinary people in the gang to **** them except the boss.
