Chapter 689 Escort Along the Way
Although Lu Minghe had expected this, he still couldn't help but tighten his jaw after hearing Lu Chihuan's answer.
then.
He sighed vaguely.
He did not try to keep Lu Chihuan, because he knew that Lu Chihuan had a heavy responsibility and mission on his shoulders, and he could not stop Huanhuan from moving forward for his own selfish desires.
This then puts their other relatives and friends in danger.
"Stuhai..."
After hearing this word, he frowned again, and then said thoughtfully, "We, the Ghost Star Pirates, don't interact very often with the mermaids in Stuhai, so we don't know much about the situation there."
"I only know that the Stu sea mermaid tribe suffered countless casualties due to an accident."
"Since then, they have been quite xenophobic and have basically no good face towards outsiders. Moreover, the only remaining member of the Stu sea mermaid royal family, Stuka Lumin, has also changed his temperament and behaved in an extremely violent and cruel way."
"Anyway, be careful if you go there, and it's best to hide your human identity."
Lu Minghe raised his hand and touched Lu Chihuan's head. "I will also look for the remaining energy-containing items for you in the Ghost Star Pirates."
"Don't worry."
"If you feel tired or have been wronged outside, you can always come back to the Ghost Pirates. This is not only your indestructible backing, but also your other home in this world."
Lu Chihuan smiled at him.
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked sparkling, and the dimples at the corners of her lips also deepened. "Brother, if you say a few more words, I probably won't be able to leave."
at this time.
He felt sincerely grateful.
In such a strange and unrecognizable world, I still have such a relative.
Lu Minghe couldn't help laughing.
He raised his hand and pressed Lu Chihuan's head against his chest. His bony fingers gently poked the dimple at the corner of his lips. After a moment, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
"Then I won't say anything."
"Let's just enjoy the scenery here for a while. After we leave this little planet tomorrow, we probably won't be able to see it for a long time."
Lu Chihuan responded.
He cooperated and looked up at the soft moonlight and the sparkling sea surface in front of him. One of his hands was held in Lu Minghe's palm, as if he was enjoying the peace and warmth of the moment.
In fact.
He knew in his heart that—
What Lu Minghe said was just an excuse. The other party just wanted to stay with him for a while longer before they parted.
Time flies by.
Even if Lu Chihuan and the others were reluctant, they had to leave this small planet now.
After he returned to the Ghost Pirates, he simply packed up his things and saw off Chen Muzhe, Zhishu and other members of the rebel army. Before leaving, Zhishu patted him on the shoulder.
"Huanhuan."
"We have also reserved a large room for you at the base."
"You can come anytime you want in the future. The door of our base is always open to you."
talking.
He also gave Lu Chihuan an access card.
This access card can be used to open the rooms in the base. Almost all the members under their command have one, so Huanhuan naturally cannot be left behind.
Lu Chihuan felt a sour feeling in his nose.
He is usually very articulate, but now he is speechless.
Therefore, after receiving the access card, he hugged Chen Muzhe, Zhishu, Sora and others tightly, using his body language to express his touch and reluctance at the moment.
After Zhishu and his companions left the Ghost Pirates, Lu Chihuan looked back at the huge and heavily guarded base behind him, and inevitably felt a little melancholy in his heart.
It's time for him to go.
After making up his mind, he didn't hesitate much and soon left with Jinwu.
Because I'm worried that I can't bear to let go.
Therefore, Lu Chihuan did not specifically inform Lu Minghe and Chi Hu when he left. However, just a few minutes after his spaceship took off, he heard a dull rumbling sound behind him, which was hard not to notice.
He quickly called up the spacecraft's own detection device to see what was going on.
Dozens of starships of the Ghost Pirates followed behind Lu Chihuan and his crew's spaceship, lined up in a row, presenting a posture of guarding.
This is obviously intended to intimidate other space pirates that might be encountered along the way and send them out of the jurisdiction safely.
Needless to say.
It must have been arranged by Lu Minghe.
He is always like this... too careful and considerate. Sometimes, Lu Chihuan's needs, which he himself has not even noticed, can be quickly noticed by him and he will satisfy them seriously.
"do not worry about it."
Lu Chihuan looked at Jinwu beside him, who had already drawn his light blade and was on alert. He couldn't help but put his warm palm on his cold and hard mechanical shell in a soothing manner.
Then he smiled.
He explained slowly, "My brother should have sent them to escort us away. Let them follow."
"otherwise."
"My brother probably won't be relieved either."
After hearing this, Jin Wu sat cross-legged again next to Lu Chihuan.
It was just that perhaps because the whereabouts of several small robots that escaped from the Mechanical City were now unknown, Jin Crow's heart inevitably produced some anxiety and anger, and his eyes, which were glowing with a faint light, also looked a little dim.
But this time it didn't say anything like humans couldn't be trusted.
After walking through the insect nest.
Something deep within its core had silently changed, but even it itself was unaware.
Lu Chihuan saw this.
He asked again tentatively, "You said that the last traces left by those little robots appeared in a coastal city near Stuhai. I want to ask if you have any evidence."
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Jinwu.
But if you want to find those little robots as soon as possible, it’s better to ask clearly.
Jinwu didn't feel offended.
It knows that Lu Chihuan is now on the same side with it.
The starting point of all the other party's actions is to help himself. Even for that seal, Lu Chihuan will never betray him.
therefore.
Jin Wu had no intention of hiding anything, and instead explained the key points in detail, "Every robot born in the Mechanical City has a built-in positioning device in its body, so no matter where they go, we can locate their position."
So when they first learned that the little robots were tricked by humans into sneaking out of the Mechanical City, although Baijie and Jinguan ordered a search for their traces, they were not in a hurry.
But who knows——
"The locator suddenly failed."
Jinwu clenched his mechanical hand tightly. "The locator shows that the last place they appeared was the coastal city of Stuhai, so now we can only go to that city and take a closer look to see if there are any other clues."
Lu Chihuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Since the positioning devices are built into the body of the small robot.
Now the device is malfunctioning again.
Does that mean that the little robots may have been taken apart again by the other party?
The thought of this possibility.
A bunch of scattered parts immediately emerged in his mind, and a chill suddenly ran down his back.
To know.
Ever since Jinwu led a group of biological mechas and robots to defect from human cities and build their own mechanical cities, some humans have hated them with a vengeance.
They regard them as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh, and wish to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Another part of humans are very interested in the high-tech in machinery and the manufacturing technology of biological mecha, so they have been coveting them over the years.
If these two really got a few robots in the mechanical city.
It is not impossible that they disassembled a few small robots out of venting their anger or to study the latest machine technology.
Perhaps Jinwu also thought of this speculation, which is why he is so anxious at this moment.
Lu Chihuan moved his lips.
I didn't know how to comfort him, so I could only change the subject dryly, "I heard that the mermaids in Stuhai are extremely xenophobic."
"As the CEO of the Mechanical City, you are now rashly approaching their territory..."
“Will I be expelled?”
Jinwu nodded solemnly.
Then he spoke in a cold and inorganic electronic voice: "After the accident of those little robots, I sent a letter to the royal family of the Stu Sea Mermaids, trying to reach a cooperation with them."
"But all the news fell on deaf ears."
for this result.
It was expected.
"So this time when we enter that coastal city, no matter what we do, we can't do it in a big way. We can only do it secretly."
Jin Wu reminded Lu Chihuan in a serious tone, "Otherwise."
"If this attracts the attention of the mermaid emperor, I'm afraid this matter will turn into a war between the mermaids and the Mechanical City. If a war really breaks out, it will only benefit others."
It is not afraid of confronting the emperor of the Stu mermaid tribe head-on.
It doesn't matter even if we have a fight.
But now it is also the CEO of the Mechanical City, and it has its trusted subordinates and people behind it, so it does not want the war to directly affect them no matter what.
"I see."
Lu Chihuan nodded.
However, as he looked up and down at the huge body of the Golden Crow, his expression gradually became hesitant.
"But Jinwu, your mecha body is very conspicuous at first glance. If you enter the coastal cities of Stuhai, even if you want to keep a low profile, you probably won't be able to do so completely."
He thought for a moment.
He took out a small robot from his storage ring and said, "Why don't you separate a part of your consciousness into this."
"During the day, I will take this clone of yours to gather information everywhere. When it is safer at night, you can come out of the storage ring and do what you want to do."
Jinwu naturally agreed.
But when its eyes fell on the little robot in Lu Chihuan's hand.
But he was stunned.
"This is……"
The small robot in Lu Chihuan's hand is Eaton scaled down hundreds of times in proportion.
It's about the size of a finger.
It was originally hung on the key ring as a keychain pendant, but last time it was accidentally hit by the fist wind from the Golden Crow, and it shattered into pieces.
At that time, Lu Chihuan thought that this was a gift from Eaton in the main world to him.
So he carefully collected all the fragments, then reassembled them, polished them, and painted them. In the end, the robot keychain was almost restored. From the surface, there was no sign of having been broken before.
"It's the keychain I used to have."
Lu Chihuan circled the ring on the keychain with his index finger and shook it gently a few times. His dark eyes blinked slyly, "Don't break it again this time."
Jinwu felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, it felt a little ashamed.
It recalled the day when it first saw Lu Chihuan and was about to attack him.
In fact.
It did indeed take action.
However, Lu Chihuan not only did not care about this matter, but also kept it by his side and treated it as a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with him.
although.
Jin Wu had to admit... Eaton's presence played a big role in this process, but Huanhuan was not bad to him, and could even be described as kind and gentle compared to himself.
On the other hand——
The excitement and joy belonging to that other soul surged in the core of my heart.
This thing was given by Eaton from another world. It was because of this small keychain that they were able to carry with them all the memories of the owner's experience in the other world.
For Eaton.
This was the beginning of all his redemption.
He felt a little sorry about the keychain being broken into pieces before, but now that he saw the owner put it together personally and kept it properly, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"it is good."
Jinwu replied solemnly.
It stretched out its mechanical fingers and touched Lu Chihuan's hand. The movement was so cautious, as if it was high-fiving him to swear an oath.
A few days later.
Lu Chihuan left the jurisdiction of the Ghost Star Pirates, and the dozen or so starships escorting him did not follow him.
He and Jinwu came to the coastal city adjacent to the Stu Sea as planned.
Because most of the people living here are mermaids or mermaid hybrids, most of them are loyal to the current emperor of the Stuhai mermaids...Stuka Lumen.
Every month they hold a grand ceremony to commemorate the Stuhai royal family who unfortunately died in the previous incident.
On the one hand, they prayed to their Majesty Stuka Lumin, offering him the most sincere blessings and carefully prepared gifts.
In short.
Because Stuka Lumin hates foreigners, the residents of this city are also quite xenophobic. Lu Chihuan is worried that if he enters directly as a human, he will definitely be rejected or monitored by the residents.
It might be a bit difficult to find the traces left by the little robot in this way.
and so--
He had to put on some kind of disguise.
