Chapter 204: Revisiting Whistling Castle

When Link remembered his previous life, there was this plot in the background of the public beta.

The extreme forces attacked the three major experimental bases and robbed some of the energy columns.

It is also for this reason that the player's birth point is not limited to the Free Federation during the public beta, but almost covers the entire waste Saturn.

Although Link has never met Commander Moon, the two sides have a relationship like Benjamin and are already natural allies.

After this incident, Commander Moon's rights were cut due to poor defense.

Link knew that he could not stop the invisible hands of the mastermind from pushing for the opening of the open beta, but it was less than five months before the open beta. He could use this opportunity to push Benjamin up to offset the weakening of the power of the Muen family and withdraw from Sandu. The arena where the four military commanders compete for power.

"So Link you mean..."

Li Ziqian looked nervous, but when he looked at Benjamin, the master beside him, he was stunned. He only felt that Captain Li and Brother Lin seemed to be talking about encrypted words, and he couldn't understand a word.

"I mean, if the military wants to set up a special operations battalion for military dogs, Benjamin can be arranged there, I can guarantee that this battalion will become the most dazzling star in Sandu, and even Benjamin can get enough attention. And those experiences are enough to add to his résumé."

Li Ziqian's eyes were burning, and what Link said was right.

With Link's ability to control beasts, after the establishment of the special operations battalion, it can definitely complete many tasks that other departments cannot.

At that time, Commander Moon will be outside and Benjamin will be inside.

Benjamin's face gradually changed, and his face showed excitement.

"Brother Lin, so we are very likely to work together in the future?"

Link froze for a moment, then covered his face and sighed.

Well, worthy of being silly and sweet. At this time, what I care about is not my father's status, but whether I can work with myself.

"I'll tell the commander about this, thank you in advance." Li Ziqian restarted the jeep and continued driving.

The private car on the road saw the camouflage on the body and the symbols marked with the Fox Hunting Special Forces.

They all backed down.

Military vehicles have unbridled rights in Shadu, not to mention the gang-run slums, and flee as if a cat sees a mouse.

Link and Li Ziqian had a tacit understanding and did not talk about Benjamin's entry into the military.

Link's selfishness in helping Benjamin in this way is to tie himself to Commander Moon, one of the four commanders, through the special operations battalion.

Having the identity of the gang leader in the slum area of ​​Sandu and the identity of the military is definitely a double guarantee for Link.

Link could see it.

In the slums, the status of 'the painter's respected person' is not easy to use, otherwise it is easy to cause him to be killed.

Especially what this guy hides in the warehouse is a ticking time bomb.

If unfortunately leaked out, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Free Federation will have no place for Link.

So until he decides to confront the enemy head-on, he will definitely protect this secret.

The most powerful force in Shadu is the military, so he must show his strength and gain a firm foothold in the military.

This is no less than a gold medal to avoid death.

Li Ziqian also understands Link's idea of ​​'using' Benjamin, but he prefers to call it a win-win situation.

"Brother Lin, have you all heard about it recently? There are strange things in Whistling Castle." Benjamin said excitedly.

Li Ziqian didn't care about this. There were too many things to pay attention to every day, and he didn't pay much attention to the non-Shadu things.

Link has also heard various rumors in the underground black market.

No one will know, he is the initiator.

"Well, I heard a little."

"It turns out that this is the outpost and foothold for bounty hunters and killers to enter the desert to do their missions. As a result, some time ago, the bounty hunters who were resting in it said that there were invisible dirty things in the castle. At first, everyone thought they were brave. Small, but with many people missing inside, there are rumors that there is something haunted in the castle, what do you think, Brother Lin?"

Link chuckled lightly: "I don't know if there are ghosts, but these people are really timid."

Li Ziqian had the same attitude as Link.

There must be some reason to explain it. This is because the level of these bounty hunters is too low to know.

Soon the car drove out of Shadu.

Because it was a military vehicle, no one stopped and inspected when leaving Shadu.

The scenery outside the car quickly changed from a city to a wasteland.

The Weeping Valley in the distance can be seen with the naked eye, and some small villages can be seen in the wasteland outside the Sand Capital. They are attached to the Sand Capital. Every day, they travel to and from Sand Capital, bringing desert and tribal things to Sand Capital for sale.

In the early morning sun, you can see people leading camel caravans to transport baggage and goods to Shadu.

Ah Fu was lying on the window, his eyes lit up when he looked at the scattered small villages.

His father's greatest wish during his lifetime was to bring his family and subordinates to Shadu to carry out the coffin business.

From the tribe to Sandu, in the eyes of these people, it is the road to wealth and the road of pilgrimage.

Soon, the scattered tribes disappeared in the Gobi.

The only thing that catches the eye is the old skeletons of beasts passing by the road from time to time.

But as there are more flashes, it will also make people feel tired.

Benjamin, who was extremely excited before, was already leaning on the seat because he couldn't stand the boring scenery along the way, with his head drooping and drowsy.

Ah Fu was full of energy, and he kept looking at the scenery outside, feeling like he was revisiting the old place.

Link took his mobile phone and looked for today's fun in the Platinum Hotel app.

I don't have time to read the newspaper in the morning, so I just have some fun on my phone.

Become proficient at finding bounties about yourself.

There were more and more messages under the bounty, Link quickly flipped through it, and many people left messages almost every day.

I feel like I'm done, Link is now the head of the Qilin Hall, how do I kill it...

The omniscient coin I have worked so hard to save, this wave is going to lose blood!

Speaking of who is the Guisun who opposes, I will come to the door and cut him.

Sign in on the 12th day, beg someone to kill Link!

I heard that Link was taken out of Sandu by a military car this morning. Maybe this is an opportunity?

Wake up, wake up, you fucking dare to offend the military directly to kill Link? The boy's juice life 8 must be given to others!

...

The various responses below are quite interesting.

Seeing the wailing of these low-level bounty hunters and killers made Link feel better all day.

One third of the month has passed, they are anxious, they are anxious, they are anxious, they are anxious!

For these keyboard warriors who are pointing the way on the Internet, all Link can do is hit hard and let them know that there is still love in this world.

"Is there anything funny that you can say to make me laugh?" Li Ziqian, who was taciturn while driving, saw Link with a smile in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but chat up.

Link smiled and told him the matter one by one: "Platinum Hotel has launched an app, in which you can take orders, shop, and gamble. When the White Crane Hall was still there, someone offered a bounty to gamble. I will die within a month. Because everyone voted for me to die, so I voted live to make the bounty take effect. As a result, a group of low-level killers and bounty hunters are worrying about not being able to kill me."

Link shook his phone and said with a smile, "Now this reward has almost become a source of happiness for me every morning."

Li Ziqian laughed after hearing this. A group of low-level killers and bounty hunters actually thought that Link would not survive for only a month, and was finally cut off by the master. He could already imagine that those people wanted Link to die, but he also The grievance of not being able to do it yourself.

"It turns out... Hall Master Lin's happiness is so unpretentious... and boring."

The desert in front of him has disappeared, replaced by rubble-like ruins, and in the background of the ruins is an ancient castle that has been weathered for decades and is now completely abandoned.

"Whistling Castle, it's here."

The military jeep stopped steadily, and Benjamin, who was drowsy and asleep, opened his eyes suddenly, swept away his exhaustion, and opened the door and jumped in one go.

Link and Alfred also got out of the car, looking at the ancient castle in the distance with emotion.

After Li Ziqian got out of the car, he bought a circle of equipment around the jeep.

Detectors, landmines and other things were buried in the ground, and then they walked in the front with military packages on their backs.

As Link approached, the silver queen ants in the ground of Whistling Castle sensed the arrival of the master, and the silver army ants in the castle suddenly became active.

The four of them bypassed the rubble and came to the front gate of Wind Howl Castle.

It didn't look like it was in disrepair at all, and many damaged earth walls were filled up at the moment.

"This, isn't this a ruin? Why are the walls inside the castle showing signs of being repaired? Could it be that there are people in the castle?" Benjamin couldn't help but say with joy.

Li Ziqian stepped forward, carefully observed the traces that were filled in later, and said after a while: "This does not look like traces of artificial restoration, but more like the result of some kind of creature's continuous transportation and construction."

Li Ziqian looked up at the sky. At first, he thought it would be some kind of bird, but in the desert, apart from falcons, he rarely saw other birds of prey, let alone birds that were good at building nests.

In this way, only insects are possible.

Link was startled, but Li Ziqian could see at a glance that it was not a human being who repaired the castle, but a creature.

But at the same time, Link was also very impressed with the construction progress of the silver army ants.

It's only been a month since he left Wind Howl Castle, and the construction progress here has greatly exceeded his expectations.

Except for the main entrance, all the gaps as far as the eye can see were filled by silver army ants.

Li Ziqian led the way, Benjamin followed, and Link and Ah Fu followed.

As it approached noon, the sun hanging high in the sky gradually became more sinister.

But the closer you get to the castle, the more eerie it becomes.

even during the day.

Before Link took a few steps, he felt a few silver army ants crawling on his body.

These little guys sensed the arrival of their master, and unknowingly crawled out of the underground passage and came to the door in person.

The deeper he went into the castle, the more Link was shocked by the progress of the silver army ants.

He thought that the marching ants were only repairing the outer walls and facades, but he never thought that even the main body of the castle was repaired.

Many walls of the ruined castle have collapsed due to the bombing, but now the khaki 'patches' can be clearly seen.

Li Ziqian's face also showed a solemn expression.

He found something different.

If it is said that some kind of creature repairs the ancient castle spontaneously, but the amount of work that can be seen is too large, even if it is construction day and night, it must be repaired in full. But what creature would be so boring to do such a thankless thing?

Combined with the 'haunted' dead people in the Whistling Castle that Benjamin said before, Li Ziqian can be sure that this castle is weird.

Li Ziqian glanced back at Link and found that he was also observing these repairs, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you find it too?"

Link knew what Li Ziqian meant and nodded simply.

"I think these biological repairs should not be spontaneous, and they are likely to be instigated. Some people want to make a fuss about this ancient castle to hide their eyes and ears."

Link's face didn't show any strangeness, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.

As expected of an NPC of lv30+ (leader) level, this vicious eyesight alone is enough to make people terrified.

It took only ten minutes to come to the castle, and most of the truth had already been found out.

"But I don't think the other party is malicious." Link echoed.

Li Ziqian also nodded: "No traps have been found along the way, and I haven't even seen any signs of people landing. It is estimated that after the news came out, no one dared to land again."

"When I was driving up the mountain, I found a few simple tents and a newly built earthen wall at the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that people passing by now will rest there."

Benjamin looked excited, he had come to explore.

Now that I heard that things might be true, I was so excited that I took off, and hurriedly urged: "Then what are you waiting for, let's start the adventure quickly!"

On the other hand, Ah Fu, who was on the side, took out something from his reinforced backpack and started to set up a tent in the shade.

"Don't worry, it's not too late to explore after lunch."

A-Fu took out the barbecue grill, chopping board, and various pre-marinated meats from his backpack.

Benjamin's eyes widened, watching Ah Fu take out so many things from the small backpack, the whole person was stunned.

Although Li Ziqian looked as usual, his eyes were always focused on Ah Fu and he never left.

Although he already knew that this little fat man was unusual, he was still very shocked when he saw such an unconventional scene.

Is this a backpack, or a bottomless pit?

How can I take out everything, this backpack has no bottom?

"Link, you servant, have something..." Li Ziqian said meaningfully.

Link hummed and saw that both of them were surprised by Ah Fu's enhanced backpack.

"That's not it, the one who escaped from the Wasteland Gang with me, Link, can't be a generalist?"

Speaking of the Wasteland Gang, Li Ziqian leaned closer to Link and asked in a low voice, "Feng Chuan, you and Fu, both came out of the Wasteland Gang's secret laboratory. Is this true?"

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
