About half an hour later.
It is hard to find a true friend, and there is also the God of the North Star. On the road back to the square, he met Isaac who was leading the Skeleton Legion.
"Jenny? Didn't you guys chase him out? Why haven't you caught that bastard yet?!"
"... Sorry, father, the other party ran too fast."
“Tsk!”
Isaac looked at the respectful confidant Nanxun, and the fire in the skull's eyes became more intense: "Forget it, the entire naval port has been blocked anyway, they can't escape. I will let my soldiers start searching the entire naval port now, and we must find that bastard!"
"Father is wise."
"Where was the last time you saw them?"
"In a large mansion..."
"A big mansion? Great!"
"Jack Sparrow... He can't get away!"
"snort!"
Isaac snorted coldly, then raised his command knife and led his many soldiers towards the passage inside the naval port and spread out throughout the ruins.
After watching Isaac leave, Zhiji Nanxun slowly put away his respectful expression.
"The undead... looks like he was the same as he was when he was alive, and his strength has even improved by leaps and bounds. But in fact, his intelligence has probably deteriorated significantly, and it is even more difficult for him to cover up his character flaws. Otherwise, Isaac's performance cannot be called that of a qualified admiral."
After a sneer, Zhiji Nanxun walked away and strode back to the square along the passage.
The scene in the square at this time was not good.
The corpses scattered all over the ground were all members of the exploration team. After Rosas' death, the morale of the exploration team members collapsed completely. It was naturally impossible for them to stop Isaac's undead soldiers. The powerful thermal weapons were equivalent to scrap metal after the ammunition was exhausted. The exploration team, without firepower, was as desperate as a candidate who had finally reviewed all night only to find out after entering the examination room that he had forgotten to bring a pen.
"The whole army was wiped out?"
"Now the only ones left alive should be those two players."
"I don't know where they are hiding."
Beidou Xingjun muttered to himself as he turned over the corpses around him.
"Where are you hiding?"
Zhiji Nanxun glanced at Beidou Xingjun, and then the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc: "In fact, the answer to this question is easy to guess."
"... .Huh?"
Beidou Xingjun turned his head suddenly and looked at Zhiji Nanxun in surprise: "Really, Boss?"
"certainly."
Zhiji Nanxun walked around the corpses on the ground, quickly scanned the scene, and then said: "It's just a simple inference. Just like before, there are only two possibilities. One is hiding in a corner of the ruins, but this is equivalent to a slow death."
"Isaac will find it sooner or later."
"In contrast, I prefer the second possibility."
Beidou Xingjun tilted his head: "The second one?"
"right."
Zhiji Nanxun fiddled with his fingers easily as he walked forward. "If it's the second one, it means that the two really used some method to get from the mansion to the square and saw Rosas' death, and this method is most likely the secret passage."
"On this basis, they have to do this to hide themselves?"
"It's simple. Just use the basic mindset."
"Isaac killed Rosas in this square, and he saw the two escape from the square with his own eyes, so when he launched a large-scale search, he subconsciously ignored this place. If it were me, I would definitely wait until Isaac left and then hide here."
"In other words..."
"They're in this square!?"
Beidou Xingjun suddenly became serious, but he shook his head unexpectedly.
"How is that possible?"
"Isn't there a hiding place compared to this square with no cover?"
"besides?"
Beidou Xingjun subconsciously scanned the entire square. It was indeed as Zhiji Nanxun said, there was no better hiding place, but as for things outside the square... .
... ..ah!
Beidou Xingjun finally reacted and focused his attention on something he had ignored from the beginning.
"Imperial Scepter!"
“That’s it!”
That's right.
When Isaac appeared before, there was a three-masted warship that drilled through the entire rock wall and carried countless skeleton soldiers!
Isaac's base camp!
"Because it's right under my feet, it's too conspicuous, and it's also my base camp, so I subconsciously ignored it!"
"Those two people are hiding in here!?"
"Nine times out of ten."
"Is that so?" Beidou Xingjun touched his chin and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Wait, Boss, do you think they are hiding in the secret passage? This is also an option, right?"
"Won't."
Zhiji Nanxun also walked under the warship at this time, with a sweeter smile on his face: "In other words, I hope they can hide inside the warship. If they just hide in the secret passage, what's the difference between that and lingering on? This can only mean that they have lost the will to win."
"If that's the case..."
“That’s really boring.”
Taking a deep breath, Zhiji Nanxun let down her long golden hair that was tied into a ponytail, then greeted Beidou Xingjun and entered the warship.
Imperial Scepter.
One of the flagships of the former Mauvo Royal Navy, it was considered the strongest battleship of that era, but it seems very antique in the modern era of the game. However, even so, with the blessing of some mysterious power, this battleship still has very powerful power.
but... ..
"It seems like no one is here."
"After all, all the soldiers were sent out by Isaac."
"But Boss, this warship is so big, where can the enemy hide?"
"have no idea."
Zhiji Nanxun shook his head, then nodded after a moment: "But, I guess they should go to the deck. Have you forgotten that there is a wireless room there that is used to communicate with the outside world? We also relied on it to communicate with people outside before. Except for that place, the entire ruins are blocked from information, and other news cannot be transmitted."
"And the outside world... .Ah!"
Beidou Xingjun suddenly reacted: "Are they trying to call for reinforcements?"
"... ..No, although we can call for reinforcements, the time for their arrival is limited. Besides, the entrances and exits of the military port are blocked. If we want to come in..."
"Fool."
It's hard to find a confidant. He subconsciously reached out his hand and gently tapped Beidou Xingjun's head, and the latter actually lowered his head and tapped him back very docilely.
It's not an interaction between a couple.
Instead, it's more like some kind of... relationship between elders and younger generations.
"Not calling for reinforcements."
"I just realized what he was going to do. No wonder I didn't see Rosas' body."
"I underestimated you. I didn't anticipate this."
"... .Huh?"
"The wireless room is a modern technological facility. It doesn't match the overall style of the warship. We can easily find it by running to the deck and taking a look. If nothing unexpected happens, they have already done everything they need to do in there. Maybe they are waiting for us to come over."
"What? What exactly is going on? Boss, can you explain it more clearly..."
“Let’s go!”
Under the command of Zhiji Nanxun, Beidou Xingjun had to suppress the doubts in his heart and followed closely behind him. In just a moment, the two arrived at the other side of the battleship deck.
As far as the two men could see, a facility made entirely of metal, which was completely incompatible with the wooden structure of a three-masted battleship, was standing there. There was also an antenna-like existence above the facility, and at the door of the facility, two figures, one tall and one short, came into view.
When the system lock is released, the names of both players are clearly visible.

The eyes of both parties finally met at this moment.
