"What are you talking about? Of course the captain is still alive. He must be alive!"
Yin Qi spoke in a resounding voice, her voice even drowning out the music and voices in the bar, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhang Dongcheng nodded repeatedly: "You are right. What kind of person is the captain? He is an invincible iron man. What is the anti-world, what is the black people, he is not someone who can be defeated so easily."
Yin Qi's eyes changed for a while, and suddenly he picked up the cup and said, "I have known you for so many years, but today's words are the most to my liking. Come, let's toast to the captain."
Zhang Dongcheng raised his glass and clinked it with hers: "Cheers, Captain."
Drink it all in one gulp.
Zhang Dongcheng looked at the time and said, "Let's go. It's getting late. People from Jingtao Fort will come to negotiate in a few days. Do you want to go and sit in?"
Yin Qi shook her head: "I'm not interested."
She added: "You go first, I will go back later."
Yin Qi was a Level 6 hunter, so Zhang Dongcheng naturally didn't have to worry about her, but he still reminded her: "Drink less."
"That's long-winded."
Zhang Dongcheng chuckled, left the bar after paying for the drinks.
After he left, Yin Qi drank alone, and before she knew it, there were already a lot of bottles of wine at her feet. People are most likely to get drunk when they are worried, even the sublimators are no exception.
After a while, Yin Qi was already reeking of alcohol. She took another big gulp, then wiped her mouth and exhaled the strong smell of alcohol.
"Captain, if you are still alive, why don't you come back..."
"Why don't you come back and see us..."
She suddenly fell on the bar with a 'bang' and seemed to have fallen asleep. At this time, several men came over. They looked at the sleeping Yin Qi and smiled maliciously.
One of the guys with tattoos all over his face was about to pick up Yin Qi, but at this moment, someone behind him said in a low voice: "Don't touch her."
The tattooed man turned around and turned out to be a middle-aged man. His face showed the vicissitudes of life. His eyes were deep and remote, and he was a very charming man.
"Who are you? What's your business what we do? If you don't want to get hurt, just... " The tattooed man stretched out his hand to push the man away, but before he could say anything, he saw the other party grab his arm like lightning, twisted it violently, and heard a snap. His arm was twisted off, and the broken bones pierced through the flesh.
He was stunned for a moment, then he screamed, pointing at the middle-aged man and yelling, "Beat him, it's mine if you kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man reached out one hand, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up with just one arm, as easily as if he was lifting a chicken.
The tattooed man did not hesitate at this time. As long as the other party was willing, he could easily crush him to death.
At this time, the man threw him out and shouted, "Get out!"
The tattooed man got up and didn't dare to say anything. With the help of his two companions, he left the bar.
The middle-aged man then came to Yin Qi's side, shook his head and said, "You don't drink much to begin with, and you drank so much. If you don't get drunk, who will?"
He sat down next to him. Yin Qi seemed to sense that there was someone next to him. He raised his head slightly, opened his eyes a little, and spoke vaguely.
"Captain, are you back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Captain, please don't leave anymore..."
"good."
It was unknown how long it had been before Yin Qi woke up. She sat up, covering her head.
She found herself still in the bar. The bar was closed and she was the only one in the hall.
She was stunned for a moment, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have a dream. She dreamed that the captain came back and sat next to her.
She looked at the high chair next to her, her heart in turmoil as she reached out her hand and touched the seat.
The seat is cool.
Yin Qi laughed at himself and said, "I'm so stupid. I'm already so old, and I still have such a dream."
She jumped off the high chair and prepared to leave.
Outside the bar, next to the window, someone looked inside and then turned and left.
In the evening, a magnetic car arrived at the gate of Cangdu's house. The door opened and Tianyang, Xun, Qianhong and Xiaoniao, who acted as the driver today, got out of the car one after another.
Ever since Tianyang left the fortress, his 'Blue Light' magnetic energy vehicle was recovered by the fortress, so today he could only let Xiaoniao drive to pick him up, otherwise Tianyang would have to ask Han Shu for help.
There were many magnetic cars parked in the parking spaces in front of the house. The shabby one was obviously Han Shu's, and the small one with graffiti on it belonged to Old Xu. It seemed that all the friends had arrived. Tianyang hurried forward and rang the doorbell.
Soon the door opened and Cangdu, wearing an apron, came out. Tianyang saw that he was holding a spoon in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
Cang Du waved the spoon and said, "What are you laughing at? If you keep laughing, you won't have anything to eat tonight!"
Tianyang quickly admitted his mistake, and Cangdu then leaned back to the door and said, "Come in, we'll be able to eat soon. The captain and the others are in the living room."
As soon as Xiao Niao entered the door, he raised his hand and said, "Do you need help? My cooking skills have improved recently. Even my chef said that I am great!"
Qian Hong said expressionlessly from behind: "Master Zhou told me privately that if he hadn't said that, you would have torn down the kitchen."
The bird's expression froze instantly.
Cang Du pulled his apron and said, "You are guests today. Sister Qingdai and I will be the only ones in the kitchen. Please don't make trouble."
Tianyang laughed and walked into the living room with the three girls. As soon as they came in, they saw Han Shu letting Lao Xu's daughter ride on his shoulders and playing a war game with Lao Xu with a pillow.
Lao Xu's wife and Ji Yu were sitting aside chatting. Ji Yu changed her usual neutral attire today and wore a black pleated skirt, a round hat and gloves of the same color, and a sparkling gem necklace around her neck, looking very feminine.
When Xiao Niao saw it, he ran over with a wow cry, took Ji Yu's hand and said, "Sister, you look so beautiful tonight. I like your dress."
Ji Yu happily stood up, turned around, gently pinched Xiao Niao's cheek and said, "You really know how to appreciate, unlike the captain, whose aesthetic sense is really not flattering."
"Tianyang is here."
Han Shu put Xiaomai down, and the little girl ran to find her mother. Xun also walked over and started chatting with the mother and daughter.
Tian Yang walked towards Han Shu and Lao Xu. Seeing that Lao Xu's face was ruddy, he smiled and said, "It seems that your injury has healed."
"Thanks to you, Tianyang, I'm going to have a few drinks with you later!" Old Xu clenched his fist and gently hit Tianyang's chest.
Tian Yang thought of his poor alcohol tolerance, clenched his fist and coughed, "I think it's unnecessary to drink."
Han Shu bluntly exposed him and said, "I think so, Old Xu. Tianyang's alcohol tolerance is too poor, so don't make it difficult for him. If you want to get him drunk, be careful that Qianhong will cause trouble for you."
Old Xu couldn't help but look at the red-eyed girl sitting quietly in the corner. Seeing her looking at him, he quickly put on a smile and nodded.
head.
Han Shu looked around and said with a smile, "It would be great if Kun Lan was here. I don't know which fortress he went to. Before he left, he even said that he wanted to be the commander of the Night Walkers when he came back. What an arrogant guy."
At this time, Cangdu and Qingdai brought the food into the living room one after another, placed it on the table, and then announced that dinner could begin!
Everyone sat around the table, and Han Shu raised his glass and said, "We haven't been together like this for a long time. I still remember when we came back from the expedition and Tianyang was missing, all of you had no smiles on your faces."
"Now that Tianyang is back, we have just won a war, and you have finally recovered your energy and spirit."
"Come, let's toast to the future. I wish you all a bright future! I hope that many years later, we can still gather together like today, without leaving anyone behind!"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally raised their glasses together, even Xiaomai raised a glass.
Then a dozen cups of different sizes touched each other, causing the liquid that leaped out of the cups to reflect spots of light.
“To the future!”
... ... ... ..
Western Continent.
Another day came, and several cars wobbled into the territory of the Thunder Council and into the manor area where the councilors lived.
The car door opened and workers wearing various clothes, hats and holding different tools got out of the car one after another.
After they gathered themselves together for a while, they asked the foreman to lead them into the sewers in the manor area to continue the dredging and maintenance work.
Mihawk mingled with the crowd and did the dirty and tiring work like other workers. This work lasted for a whole day. When it was time to finish work in the evening, he quietly left the crowd and found a place to hide.
These workers were temporarily recruited from the city. Some of them quit after working for a few days. The turnover rate is very high and basically no one knows each other.
Therefore, even if one Mihawk was missing, no one would notice.
Mihawk stayed in this corner of the sewer without turning on the lights until the voices faded away and the surroundings were quiet with only the sound of flowing water. Then he turned on a small light, took out the food he brought, and ate in silence.
After dinner, Mihawk took out a dagger from behind. It was a material weapon made of some kind of black material that could produce a highly toxic substance. Mihawk called it "Groaner".
If stabbed or even scratched by this dagger, the target will be poisoned and die with a groan of pain.
Although he disdains to assassinate a child, it concerns his own lifelong happiness, so he cannot put aside some principles.
He just waited quietly until late at night before he took action.
After these days of observation and exploration, Mihawk was already familiar with the sewer system in the manor area. He easily found a pipe marked by him under the manor where Tianyang belonged, and then crawled in.
A moment later, in the garden behind the manor house, a cover was silently removed and Mihawk emerged from it.
Just as he expected, the villa was now dark and everyone inside had gone to bed.
Just in case, Mihawk took out some potions. These things were his old friends. Some of them could help Mihawk hide his breath, and some could allow Mihawk to see in the dark. Mihawk applied or drank them, and after he was ready, he crouched down and used the cover of objects to sneak towards the villa in front like a ghost.
